Will Nakamura Kako reveal his involvement in smuggling? This is what worries Hattori Hikoo the most. He brought Jiang Xinyu because he actually wanted to find someone to give him advice.
After all, because of Hattori Mina's relationship, I feel closer than the others. There is no way to discuss this kind of thing with the military police.
"Major, I think if you want Nakamura to shut up, you need to collect more evidence and make this matter solid. In that case, you can request that Nakamura be executed on the spot!"
Hattori Hikoo shook his head and said: "Nakamura is an officer. If he commits a crime, he must go through a military court. I'm afraid the commander will not agree to my execution on the spot."
Jiang Xinyu reminded: "If Nakamura is addicted to smoking in court, wouldn't it be an insult to the imperial army's military power..."
Hattori Hikoo's eyes lit up and he nodded slowly. He heard Nakamura Kako's threatening remarks from different people, and he had already had murderous intentions in his heart. In addition, Nakamura himself was indeed suspected of being a spy.
It always makes people feel uneasy.
"However, the evidence is still slightly insufficient..."
"While in Shenyang, the incident involving Miura Hiroki can be used as supplementary evidence to show that from that time on, Nakamura Kako was already working for the military commander!"
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it's up to you to collect evidence!"
"Yes. I still need to take a look at Nakamura's information. There are many dates and times that must be accurate, so as not to find fault with the higher-ups."
"Okay." Hattori Hikoo pressed the alarm bell.
Suzuki pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Major, what are your orders?"
"Open the study, Captain Jiang has some information that he needs to review."
"Yes. Captain Jiang, please."
Suzuki Souchang accompanied Jiang Xinyu to the door of the study, prepared some refreshments as usual, and then left.
Because it is in the military police compound, and the study does not involve military secrets, it is not locked at all. No one dares to enter Hattori Hikoo's special study without permission.
Spreading Kako Nakamura's documents on the table, Jiang Xinyu quietly walked to the door and listened for a while. He heard the sound of Japanese soldiers joking in the distance, and he gently bolted the door.
The north wind in winter is very strong, so there is nothing wrong with bolting the door. Of course, it is best not to be discovered. In fact, there are military police stationed outside the door, so no one will disturb him.
The bottom row of cabinet doors on the bookshelf was filled with various books. Jiang Xinyu put his hand into the cabinet door. The inner wall was covered with smooth wood grain. When he touched a pitted wood grain, he pressed it down hard.
There was only a "click!" sound in his ears, like the sound of a lock being opened. Jiang Xinyu held his breath and listened for a while. Everything was as usual outside. Occasionally, someone passed by and greeted the military police standing guard.
Jiang Xinyu pushed it gently with his hand, and the cabinet door was easily removed. A secret door appeared on the wall, about one meter high. Looking back at the back of the cabinet door, there were two copper pull rings. If people entered the secret door, they could
Close the bookshelf again.
Jiang Xinyu calculated the time. If he closed the bookcase and restored it to its original state, one minute would be enough. Wang Xueqi must have come in by himself. He was still a child at that time and his movements were relatively clumsy, so five minutes was considered normal.
Taking out the flashlight from his briefcase, Jiang Xinyu opened the secret door and got in. The flashlight shone everywhere. It was actually a low basement, about 20 square meters in size. There was nothing in it. It had cement walls and a cement floor.
There is a circle of pine chairs.
After so many years, the chair has shown signs of decay. It is probably too choked for people to sit on it, and it can be used as firewood.
There is also a secret door in the northeast corner. According to Wang Xueqi, if you open the door and get out, you will find a tunnel transformed from the sewer, leading directly to Huaishugou five or six hundred meters away.
At this point, there is no need to verify the truth, it must exist. Wang Xueqi has no need to make up a meaningless lie. Besides, he is also worried that if Jiang Xinyu cannot get out from the entrance, he will have to escape from the exit.
.
Jiang Xinyu quickly came to a chair in the corner, moved the chair away, and revealed a sunken hole in the back. There was nothing in the hole, only a child's clothes, and underneath the clothes was a dusty password box.
This hole was actually a sink. We were originally planning to bring water pipes down from the ground to collect water in it. Later, Wang Jingmin found that it was not necessary. People would not hide in it for too long, so bringing a little water down would be enough.
This sink was discovered by Wang Xueqi. At that time, he hid the password box inside, covered it with clothes, and blocked it with a chair. There was no lighting in the basement and it was pitch dark, so no one noticed his little move.
Jiang Xinyu carried the password box and got back into the study through the secret door. He closed the bookcase again. There was a "click!" and he tried pushing the bookcase again, but it didn't move.
No one had entered the basement for almost six years, and it was very dusty. Jiang Xinyu left a few footprints in the study. He found a rag to wipe away the footprints, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the password box is not big, it is boxy and difficult to carry out. Jiang Xinyu specially brought a large briefcase with him today. He wiped off the dust on the password box, put it in the briefcase and carried it for a few steps, but it still felt unsafe.
.
At this time, a woman's laughter came from the distance. When she listened carefully, she heard that it was Hattori Mina and Chang Hongling. Jiang Xinyu walked to the door and gently took off the door latch. When the footsteps approached, he opened the door and walked away.
Out.
"Xinyu, why are you in my brother's study?" Hattori Mina said in surprise.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Oh, I'm here to check some information. This is a clean place, no one will disturb you."
Chang Hongling bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Officer Jiang."
"Hello, Miss Lingzi." Jiang Xinyu took a careful look at Chang Hongling's bag.
The shape of a lady's shoulder bag is very suitable for carrying the password box. Chang Hongling deliberately carried this kind of bag. This kind of bag can be used as a hidden pocket and cannot be seen. When stealing information, there is no need to worry about it being turned out by general inspection.
"Are you going to see Major Hattori?"
"Of course, someone offered to let me accompany him to the gendarmerie..."
"Mina, you heard that Officer Jiang was called to the gendarmerie by the major, so you had to pester me to pretend to see your brother, right?"
"No, that's nonsense!" Hattori Mina retorted with a red face.
"It's so cold outside. There's hot tea in the study. Would you two ladies like a bowl?"
"Okay, I happen to be thirsty, Ayako, would you like a drink?" Hattori Mina said.
Chang Hongling smiled and said: "Officer Jiang's kindness, how could I postpone it so easily?"
Jiang Xinyu closed the door, picked up the teapot, poured two bowls of tea, and said, "Mina, drink while it's hot to drive away the cold."
Hattori Mina happily walked over, took the tea bowl, took a sip, and praised: "The tea is delicious."
Chang Hongling smiled and said: "It depends on who pours the tea."
Jiang Xinyu handed the tea bowl to Chang Hongling and said, "Miss Lingzi, please have some tea."
While Hattori Mina was rummaging around in front of the bookshelf, Jiang Xinyu whispered: "Take the box in the bag out for me!"
After saying this, he walked over to talk to Hattori Mina. Chang Hongling quickly took the password box out of the briefcase and put it into her shoulder bag.
