"Kogoro, you and Hashimoto come with me to the first floor. Mieko, it will be safer if you stay with Section Chief Yoshimoto." Liu Changchuan took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it, and took the lead to go downstairs.
Mieko wanted to stay with Yoshimoto Shogo. She was scared enough today and didn't want to be seen outside. Seeing Liu Changchuan and others coming downstairs, she hurriedly chased after Yoshimoto Shogo.
"Brother Liu, what's going on?" Liu Changchuan saw Wan Ping coming out of the car as soon as he came downstairs.
"Brother Wan, why are you here?"
"Can you not come?"
"Tell me what happened? All I heard on the phone was that Liusha suddenly opened fire and attacked the guests at the reception. I don't know much about the specific situation." It was winter, and Wanping's face was covered with sweat.
Just as Liu Changchuan was about to reply, he saw an agent No. 76 wearing a gray shirt and black trousers running over: "Captain Wan, Director Li wants you to come up quickly."
"Brother Liu, we will meet again later." Wan Ping was not in the mood to talk to Liu Changchuan and hurriedly walked into the hotel.
Alas, Quicksand still didn't escape, no... It should be said that he didn't even think about it and didn't think he could escape.
Liu Changchuan sat on the stone bricks in front of the hotel and felt depressed. Quicksand was not the first and he would not be the last. As long as the War of Resistance Against Japan exists, countless patriots will sacrifice their lives without regrets.
"Yamazaki Taro hasn't left yet?" Just as Liu Changchuan was about to call two of his men to find the No. 76 Guard Group to cooperate in interrogating the hotel staff, he saw Yamazaki Taro from the Naval Intelligence Office standing across the street from the hotel talking to someone.
Liu Changchuan scanned it with his "scanning eye" and found that it was Du Yuxing from the fire department in the mountain city. This guy's makeup skills were really good. Even he didn't recognize him. He was really a master of makeup.
"Team leader, Agent No. 76 has started screening hotel service personnel. Do we want to go there?" Kogoro came over to remind him.
"Do you think that's Taro Yamazaki across the street?" Liu Changchuan rolled his eyes and gestured to Kogoro.
"Hey, it's really him. I saw him in the banquet hall just now, and he didn't leave. Who is that person next to him?" Kogoro looked at Taro Yamazaki and Du Yuxing with a strange expression.
"You stare at the stranger talking to Yamazaki Taro alone. Don't be discovered. If you have a chance, call me at the hotel." Liu Changchuan put out his cigarette butt and gave some instructions to Kogoro. He had to use Kogoro to see what Du Yuxing was doing?
"It's the team leader, Hashimoto Shi?"
"If he doesn't have enough experience, he will definitely be discovered." Liu Changchuan shook his head. Although Hashimoto's brain was bright, sometimes his brain would be cold and lack of strings. If he was followed, he would definitely get into trouble. Once the people from the Naval Intelligence Office knew, he would Follow me.
In the backyard of the hotel, all the hotel staff were gathered at this moment. Agent No. 76 was conducting inspections in batches. Anyone who was suspicious would be taken back to the torture room of No. 76 headquarters for torture.
These people are all responsible for themselves. Liu Changchuan stood behind Wan Ping and thought with emotion.
But there was nothing he could do. Too many people died innocently during the War of Resistance. Could it be that he would not resist the War because it affected the people?
"Brother Liu, the director has told me that the incident caused by the "quicksand" today will be independently investigated by Agent No. 76 Headquarters. I hope Brother Liu will go back and explain to Section Chief Yoshimoto." Wanping pulled Liu Changchuan aside and said softly.
"Understood, I will explain it clearly to the section chief." Liu Changchuan accepted the cigarette Wan Ping handed him and agreed.
Li Qun has lost a lot of face among the traitors in Shanghai this time. He will not let other intelligence agencies participate in the investigation. If No. 76 is found to have problems of his own, the loss will be even greater.
If nothing else goes wrong, if the source of the "Quicksand" gun cannot be found, Li Qun will assign the crime to the hotel service staff. There is no other way. He can't tell outsiders that he can't find the person!
So there must be a scapegoat. Is there anyone more suitable than a hotel staff?
"Section Chief, Director Li on the 76th doesn't seem to want outsiders to investigate today's events." Liu Changchuan went up to the third floor of the hotel and told Masago Yoshimoto what Wanping had said to him.
"Hmph, let's ignore it in our special higher education class. "Quicksand" turned out to be a fake surrender. I really don't know how Li Qun screened them in the first place." Masago Yoshimoto curled his lips and cursed angrily.
"Where are Kogoro and Hashimoto Shi?" Mieko poked her head out from behind Masago Yoshimoto and asked curiously.
"Didn't the section chief ask our team to investigate Yamazaki Taro? I saw him talking furtively to a stranger across the street, so I asked Kogoro to follow him and take a look. Hashimoto Shi was waiting for Kogoro's call at the front desk!" Liu Changchuan also said There was nothing to hide, and there was no need to lie.
"What kind of person is Taro Yamazaki like when he meets a stranger?" Masago Yoshimoto curiously asked Liu Changchuan.
“My face is covered with beards and scarves, so I can’t see clearly.”
"That must be makeup?" Masago Yoshimoto sneered.
"Section Chief, what's the point of investigating Taro Yamazaki? If he is discovered, he will definitely cause trouble for our special high school class." Mieko muttered in a low voice.
"What do you know? No one is big or small." Masago Yoshimoto turned around and scolded Mieko.
"I was wrong, section chief." Miezi quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She also knew that she had indeed talked too much.
Smelly girl, let’s see if you still dare to complain in the future. Liu Changchuan pursed his lips and winked at Miezi. That means... you deserve to be scolded.
Mieko was so angry that she was just about to go back to the place when she saw Hashimoto Shi running over panting: "Hello, Section Chief... Team leader, Kogoro called and said that he was following the man who was going to the Japanese Concession. There was a snack outside the Sanlin Road entrance. Someone was shot outside the store."
"Is anyone dead? Liu Changchuan quickly asked." Du Yuxing is obviously a spy from the Naval Intelligence Office in Shancheng. How could he be shot in the dark in Shanghai? It doesn't make sense!
"Kogoro doesn't know either. He said he was sent to the hospital."
"Immediately lead your men to the hospital to investigate and find out why this person met Taro Yamazaki and who he is?" Masago Yoshimoto became more interested when he heard that the person being followed had been shot, and hurriedly ordered Liu Changchuan to investigate.
"It's the section chief. I'll lead someone to investigate right away." Liu Changchuan stood at attention and bowed.
Then he called Miezi and hurriedly left the hotel and went to the hospital where Du Yuxing was treating gunshot wounds. At the very least, he had to know whether he was dead or alive.
"Team leader, what should I do if I meet someone from the Naval Intelligence Office?" Miezi sat in the back seat of the car and asked Liu Changchuan who was driving.
"Don't worry about them. If there is a shooting in Shanghai, our special higher education department has the right to investigate. Then you guys will act according to my eyes." Liu Changchuan slammed the accelerator a few times and headed towards the Sanlin intersection.
"Team leader, we are in the operating room on the second floor." Liu Changchuan drove to the entrance of Liping Hospital, and Kogoro ran over from across the street to report.
"What's going on?" Liu Changchuan called Kogoro into the car and asked solemnly.
