Early the next morning, the gendarmerie headquarters.
Hattori Hikoo looked at Tian Junsheng coldly and said, "Captain Tian, did you leak the news, which caused the raid to be in vain?"
Tian Junsheng bowed repeatedly and said: "Major, no omissions were made in terms of confidentiality. After gathering the team, I ordered that no one was allowed to leave the garrison. I would send someone to monitor anyone who wanted to make a phone call. Captain Nakamura can testify to this."
Hattori Hikoo slammed the table hard and said sternly: "My order is very clear. Let the garrison surround Guandi Temple before nine o'clock. You arrived ten minutes late! How to explain!"
"The car broke down halfway, and there was nothing I could do..." Tian Junsheng said with a grimace.
Hattori Hikoo: "Are all the cars broken down?"
Tian Junsheng: "The dirt road outside the city was too narrow. One car broke down at the front and one in the middle. The cars behind couldn't pass. I had to ask them all to get off the car and push the broken down car into the ditch. That's it."
The time wasted..."
Hattori Hikoo stared at him for a long time and said slowly: "Captain Tian, considering your past achievements, I will not hold you responsible this time. I hope you will take care of yourself! Go back!"
"Thank you, Major. Thank you, Major." Tian Junsheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed and walked out.
"Ring ring ring ring ring!" The phone on the table suddenly rang.
Hattori Hikoo picked up the phone: "Hello?"
On the other end of the phone was a pretentious female voice: "Major Hattori, how was the result of last night's raid?"
Hattori Hikoo said respectfully: "Miss Yoshiko, the garrison did not find any rebels in Daiou Township. I am also reflecting now. Could it be that the information from the Special High School is wrong?"
Yoshiko said in a lazy tone: "There is no problem with the intelligence. The reason why the raid was carried out was because you misemployed people! How could such an important operation be carried out by the garrison? Aren't the people in the gendarmerie afraid of getting sick in their spare time?"
"
Hattori Hikoo said: "I sent Kako Nakamura to provide support on the outside. This was done to prevent the imperial army from causing unnecessary casualties. In addition, Tian Junsheng of the garrison has always been loyal, and I still trust him very much."
Yoshiko sighed and said: "There must be a limit to trusting the Chinese. Besides, people can change. Just because they were loyal in the past does not mean they will be loyal now. There are more people who can adapt to the wind than there are stars in the sky.
"
"I understand. With Miss Yoshiko sitting in Yanjin, we won't have to worry about catching those rebels who overestimate their capabilities!"
"I can't always be in Yanjin. I have to go to Peking tomorrow. Commander Tada Shun is going to hold a birthday party for me. Alas, I hate this kind of boring entertainment. It's really annoying..." Yoshiko's voice was full of emotion.
Pride and joy, without any unhappy emotions.
Shun Tada was the commander of the Japanese North China Front. He held a high position and was able to be associated with such a big shot. It was a great honor for every Japanese soldier.
Yoshiko changed the topic and said: "There is one more thing I want to remind you. Various signs indicate that the military spy codenamed 'Mr. Qin' is currently in Yanjin. This person is very dangerous. You must find him as soon as possible!"
"Does Mr. Qin have any clues to investigate?"
"There are very few clues. Mr. Qin used to be active in Manchuria. Although the intelligence he stole is not much, it is extremely important, and it can be seen that this person must be proficient in Japanese!"
"Is there a traitor among us?" When the door rang, Hattori Mina opened the door and walked in. Hattori Hikoo quickly signaled to his sister to keep quiet.
"What you say is not impossible...Major Hattori, you have to pay close attention to all Japanese people who are related to Manchuria, or Chinese people who can speak fluent Japanese. 'Mr. Qin' is hidden among these people!"
"I see!"
After hanging up the phone, Hattori Hikoo pondered deeply and quickly filtered through his mind the people he thought were suspicious.
"Brother, who were you talking to on the phone just now?" Hattori Mina was surprised because she had never seen her brother treat others with such a respectful attitude.
Hattori Hikoo slowly sat on the chair and said: "He is worth a man from an armored division."
Hattori Mina stuck out her tongue and said, "Who is so powerful?"
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said, "Children should not inquire about adults."
"Am I a child? I look down on people..." Hattori Mina said with a pout.
Hattori Hikoo took a sip from the tea bowl and said: "In my eyes, you will always be a child who will never grow up... Didn't you say this morning that you asked Miss Ayako to go shopping?"
"Ayako is sick and can't go anywhere." Mina Hattori rummaged through the papers piled on the table boredly.
"Sick? What's wrong with her?" Hattori Hikoo put down his tea bowl and asked with concern.
"I seem to have caught a cold and have a slight fever."
"Have you seen a doctor?"
"Ayako's neighbor is a doctor. She has already been seen. You don't have to worry. She is much better."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while, and there was no important official business today, so he said: "Mina, do you think this is okay? I just have time today, so you can accompany me to visit Miss Ayako."
Hattori Mina rolled her eyes and said: "It's okay to accompany you... Can you call Jiang Xinyu? He is also familiar with Ayako, so it will be more lively if we go together."
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said: "Don't all patients need to be quiet? There are too many people, so it's not good."
Hattori Mina: "Ayako is much better, but she can only be considered half a patient."
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said: "It's really strange to say half a patient. This is the first time I've heard of it... Well, then just call him and make an appointment."
"It's working time now, so he needs you to call..." Hattori Mina said hesitantly.
Hattori Hikoo pretended to be enlightened and said: "Oh, I understand, you accompany me to visit Miss Ayako secondly, and mainly you want me to make phone calls for you?"
"Hey, brother, forget it if you don't want to fight..." After Hattori Hikoo said his thoughts, Hattori Mina stood up and prepared to leave.
Hattori Hikoo picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Anti-Smuggling Section of the Hongqiao Police Station: "Is this Section Chief Jiang? I am Hattori Hikoo, please come to the gendarmerie, right, now."
After making the call, Hattori Hikoo glanced at his sister and said, "Are you satisfied?"
Hattori Mina blushed and said, "You made the call, but no one forced you to call..."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment and said, "Should I give Miss Ayako a call?"
"No, when I came out of her house, Ayako said she wanted to take a nap. The time we spent on the road was just enough for her to sleep a little longer..." Hattori Mina said.
