In the gendarmerie squad leader's room, Zhou Renjie was discussing the next step with Kako Nakamura, accompanied by the new translator Zhu.
"Who is that Zhang Jinbiao?" Nakamura Kako asked after listening to Zhu's translation.
Zhou Renjie said: "He is a well-known gangster in Hongqiao and Jiang Xinyu's informant. He usually does some smuggling business."
"Isn't Zhang Jinbiao suspected of being a spy?"
"That guy eats, drinks, goes whoring, gambles, smokes, and is all poisonous. I think it is unlikely that the military commander, the central commander, or the Communist Party would want such a person."
"...Since your people have been discovered by Jiang Xinyu, will it arouse his vigilance?"
"Probably not. He might think that I am investigating Zhang Jinbiao's smuggling matter..."
Hearing that Zhang Jinbiao was not a spy, Kako Nakamura was very disappointed. For him, as long as it was proven that Jiang Xinyu had colluded with the spy, nothing else mattered.
Zhou Renjie thought for a while and said: "In addition, Jiang Xinyu is an experienced policeman with strong anti-tracking capabilities. He also knows most of the people in the detective team, so the tracking effect is not very good..."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Kako Nakamura is a martial artist, and he is not good at this kind of thing.
Zhou Renjie: "It's best to monitor his home phone. If he colludes with spies, he will definitely contact his accomplices through the phone!"
Nakamura shook his head and said, "Phone monitoring requires Major Hattori's approval. I don't have this authority."
Zhou Renjie thought hard for a while and said, "Then send someone to install a bug!"
"Well... this is a good method. If evidence is found, he won't be able to deny it even if he wants to!" Nakamura Kako agreed very much.
"I'll go back and make arrangements right away."
"Go ahead."
Zhou Renjie came out of the squad leader's room, and within a few steps, he met Hattori Mina head-on.
"Hello, Miss Mina!" Zhou Renjie greeted with a smile on his face.
Hattori Mina nodded slightly in greeting and walked quickly to the team headquarters.
"...a total of one hundred Zhongzheng rifles with one thousand bullets, three Czech light machine guns with bullets..."
In the military police headquarters, Second Lieutenant Miyamoto held a booklet in his hand and was reporting to Hattori Hikoo the number of firearms to be handed over to the garrison.
There was a loud bang on the door, and Hattori Mina opened the door and walked in: "Brother, I'm here!"
Hattori Hikoo frowned and said, "Mina, remember to knock on the door before you come in next time."
Hattori Mina said unconvinced: "I'm not your subordinate, so how can I have so many rules!"
Hattori Hikoo said with a straight face: "This is a rule and politeness."
Hattori Mina pouted and said, "I know."
After training his sister, Hattori Hikoo said to Miyamoto: "You go down first."
"Major, do you want me to send these guns to the garrison?"
"No, I will send it to you personally tomorrow."
"Yes!" Miyamoto turned around and walked out.
Hattori Hikoo looked at his sister and said, "Are you unhappy after saying a few words?"
"I originally had good news to tell you, but I don't want to tell you now!" Hattori Mina said angrily.
Hattori Hikoo opened the drawer, took out a box of chocolates, and said: "I originally wanted to give you the chocolates, but now..."
Hattori Mina immediately reached out to grab the chocolate and said in surprise: "Brother, where did you get the chocolate?"
"I attended a cocktail party last night and the Italian Minister gave it to me. He said it was the best chocolate in the world."
Hattori Mina opened the tin foil package, took out a piece and put it in her mouth, praising: "Well, he's not lying, it's really delicious."
Hattori Hikoo: "Aren't you angry anymore?"
"Well, I'm not angry anymore." Hattori Mina made a face at her brother and put the chocolate into her bag.
"Why did you put it away? Oh... I understand, you want to keep it for someone, am I right?" Hattori Hikoo could see through his sister's thoughts at a glance.
Hattori Mina argued forcefully: "I kept it for Ayako. Like me, she especially likes chocolate."
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said: "Who knows who you are keeping it for... By the way, is Miss Ayako still satisfied with the house?"
"Satisfied."
"Didn't you just say that you had good news to tell me?"
"For the sake of chocolate, let me tell you! Ayako is going to invite you to her home as a guest, saying she wants to thank you in person."
Hattori Hikoo's face was very calm, but he was actually secretly happy. With his status, if he wanted to find a wife in Ijin, the young and beautiful "Yamaguchi Ayako" would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate.
"How are you and Jiang Xinyu doing?" Hattori Hikoo asked casually.
Hattori Mina secretly observed the expression on her brother's face and said, "Brother, do you agree with me and him?"
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said slowly: "He is still under inspection. I have to make sure that he is of the same mind as us before I can safely hand you over to him!"
"Inspection period, inspection period, what kind of inspection is required to be qualified? If you don't believe him, why did you let him be the chief of the anti-smuggling section!" Hattori Mina complained.
"You will understand later." Hattori Hikoo hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell his sister everything.
"Forget it, I'm leaving!" Hattori Mina actually didn't want to leave. The military police headquarters was very warm, and she was just here to wait for her brother to go home with her.
"It's so cold, where are you going?"
"I won't stay here anywhere, they are just annoying people!"
"My brother has become a nuisance?"
"Hey, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about that sneaky person just now..."
"Who are you talking about?"
"That's Captain Zhou of the detective team."
"Zhou Renjie?"
Hattori Hikoo was very confused, why did Zhou Renjie not come to see him when he came to the Military Police?
"He came out of Nakamura's house and walked along the wall like... a thief." Hattori Mina covered her mouth and smiled.
Hattori Hikoo pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers: "Mengang, this is Hattori Hikoo, has Zhou Renjie been here today?...Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Hattori Hikoo pressed the alarm bell under the table, and a guard opened the door and walked in: "Major, what are your orders?"
"Go and call Nakamura Kako."
"yes."
"Another annoying guy...Brother, don't say I'm here, I don't want to talk to him!" Hattori Mina got up and entered the inner lounge.
Hattori Hikoo shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do about this wayward sister.
After a while, Kako Nakamura came to the team headquarters and bowed respectfully: "Major, are you looking for me?"
Hattori Hikoo sat behind the desk and said, "Nakamura-kun, are you hiding something from me recently?"
"...What are you referring to?" Nakamura Kako's face changed slightly.
