Hattori Hikoo paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, feeling a little restless.
When the Nakamura Kako incident occurred, Shimomura Sada proposed to replace the military police captain. Fortunately, Honma Masaharu did not agree, and Hattori Hikoo reluctantly passed the test.
Now that Shimomura has been appointed as the new commander, if the military police make major mistakes again, Hattori Hikoo will definitely be severely punished, and it is not impossible to be dismissed on the spot.
"Report!" Suzuki Souchun's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Hattori Hikoo turned around and sat back on the chair.
Suzuki Souchang stepped in, bowed with both feet and said: "Major, the matter you asked me to investigate has come to fruition."
"Say." Hattori Hikoo said expressionlessly.
"The man who deals in Western medicine on the black market is called Guan Da. According to him, because the price of Spandong was too expensive, he couldn't sell it at all, so he never purchased this medicine... Later..." Suzuki Souchang hesitated.
"What happened next?" Hiko Hattori guessed it, and his heart was already sinking.
"Later... Mrs. Hattori found him and placed a long-term order for this medicine..."
"Bang!"
Even though he guessed the result, Hattori Hikoo couldn't help but throw the tea bowl on the table to the ground. The feeling of being cheated made him furious.
Captain Suzuki stood with his hands lowered, not daring to say a word. He had been in the military police for many years, and he had never seen Hattori Hikoo lose his composure like this.
Hattori Hikoo calmed down for a while and said, "When did she start buying medicine from Guanda?"
Suzuki Socho: "Before the Spring Festival, I bought 66 Xuxuan about six or seven times."
Hearing what he said, Hattori Hikoo became even more angry. He and Ayako hadn't gotten married before the Spring Festival, which meant that Ayako had already planned this matter!
Hattori Hikoo turned around, grabbed the knife holder and put the saber on it. With a livid face, he was ready to go back to the army to question the crime. He wanted to ask Ayako face to face why she deceived him!
"Ring ring ring ring ring~" the phone on the table rang.
Captain Suzuki stood at the table, picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is the Military Police...please wait a moment."
He covered the receiver and whispered to Hattori Hikoo: "It's Commander Shimomura."
Hattori Hikoo instantly calmed down from his rage and quickly answered the phone: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is Hattori Hikoo. What instructions do you have?"
Shimomura Sada: "Select twenty prisoners awaiting execution from the Military Police Prison and secretly transfer them to the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department at eight o'clock tonight. You will handle this matter personally. You must strictly keep the confidentiality, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Hattori Hikoo said respectfully.
"In addition, the Communist Party members have been extremely active recently. According to the information from the Special High School Division, a lot of materials have been smuggled from Yanjin to the central Hebei region. As the gendarmerie, we must increase our efforts to hunt down!"
"yes!"
Dissatisfaction could be heard in Shimomura Sada's tone. It wasn't until a busy tone came from the receiver that Hattori Hikoo slowly put down the phone.
He pondered for a while and said: "Captain Suzuki, give me an order. From now on, everyone in the Military Police will cancel their vacation and are not allowed to go out!"
"yes!"
"Inform Second Lieutenant Miyamoto to take out twenty prisoners to be executed from the prison and be ready to transfer them to custody at any time!"
"yes!"
Suzuki Souchang turned around to go out, but Hattori Hikoo stopped him and said: "About the incident about Madam buying medicine, it is not appropriate to spread it to outsiders. Do you understand what I mean?..."
Suzuki Souchang said quickly: "Don't worry, I am the only one who knows about it, and I will never dare to spread it outside!"
"Does the drug dealer know the inside story?"
"I don't know, he thought I was investigating spies."
"Well, let's go down."
"Yes." Suzuki Souchang bowed, turned around and retreated.
Hattori Hikoo walked to the window, looked at the dark clouded sky, and said to himself: "Before the storm comes, I hope that all the troubles can be solved..."
An hour later, raindrops began to fall. After a few minutes, the rain suddenly became heavier, accompanied by strong winds, lightning, and thunder, and the rain poured down in torrents.
At the same time, Jiang Xinyu's car was parked on the side of the road, rainwater flowing rapidly down the car window.
Xu Haichuan said in a low voice: "You guessed it right, the Japanese are indeed conducting experiments on living bacteria."
Jiang Xinyu: "Have you found any evidence?"
"A foreigner's corpse was found near Ermiwu's residence. Lao Tiantou must have been accidentally infected by the corpse."
"Where's the body?"
"I disinfected it with lime and buried it in place."
"The corpse is still diseased?"
"This is what's scary. Logically speaking, after a person dies, bacteria should stop spreading in the human body. But what I saw is that the foreigner's disease was even more serious than Er Miwu's!"
When he said these words, Xu Haichuan's face turned slightly pale. He saw with his own eyes the degree of decomposition of George's body, which showed that it was no longer ordinary anthrax, but a mutated bacteria!
This anti-human behavior of the Japanese army may cause harm for decades or hundreds of years, and it will continue to evolve and mutate into another new type of bacteria under different temperature environments.
Jiang Xinyu: "I checked. The section chief of the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department is named Nisaku Kagawa. He is a doctor of medicine. He used to work under Shiro Ishii. Looking at it now, the so-called water supply and epidemic prevention is basically creating a plague!"
Xu Haichuan thought for a while and said: "Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jinan, these big cities have water supply and epidemic prevention departments under the jurisdiction of dispatched troops. Could they be used for this kind of thing?"
"It's very possible... we need to notify the approaching troops as soon as possible and take preventive measures in advance. The enemy is crazy now and can do anything."
"Well, I will report this matter to my superiors when I get back."
Jiang Xinyu sighed: "What should we do with those prisoners of war..."
Xu Haichuan shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do. Even if we rescue people, there is still nothing we can do against this mutated anthrax. If you are not careful, you may be infected."
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Those Japanese in the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department, aren't they afraid of infection?"
Xu Haichuan thought for a while and said: "First, proper prevention, and second, since they can develop bacteria, they should also have corresponding treatment measures, which are commonly known as antidotes!"
"It would be great if I could get the antidote..." Jiang Xinyu murmured.
"Because of proper prevention, the chance of infection is very small. You shouldn't prepare too much of this kind of thing. So even if you are lucky enough to get it, how many people can you save?"
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, as long as we get a little bit, we can find professionals to analyze the ingredients of the medicine and prepare the antidote ourselves!"
"Crack!" A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier...
