The Baisheng Hotel was completely sealed off, and the Military Police deployed a team to maintain order. Because the level of the lost film was too high, especially the content of the Foreign Minister's visit to Europe, which made all Japanese intelligence agencies stationed in Shanghai nervous. Even the Mei agency, which had never cared about this matter, sent a representative.
…
Gendarmerie Commander Matsumoto Susumu looked very unhappy, and the Dispatch Army General Kushiro called him specifically to order him to find and destroy the films of Jinling City soldiers killing people at any cost.
"Section Chief, I don't think your commander-in-chief looks very good." Liu Changchuan muttered quietly beside Masago Yoshimoto.
"Don't worry about the military affairs, it's better to find the two films quickly." Masago Yoshimoto looked gloomy.
He regretted the decision he made a little bit. It would have been better for him to be ruthless and arrest Hideo Honda directly, which would have saved him from causing such a big disaster. The older he got, the less courageous he became.
"Section Chief, something big happened." At this time, Xiaozhe Zhenger hurried down from upstairs.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone stared at Ozawa Seiji running over. Military police commander Susumu Matsumoto was the most nervous. You must know that he had made an oath with his superior, General Kishiro, to retrieve the film.
"The cleaner is dead. He died in the laundry room. He was stabbed twice in the chest." Xiaozhe Zhengji breathed heavily and told the story intermittently.
Liu Changchuan listened carefully and finally understood what was going on. Originally, Masako Minamizo, Kogoro, and Shih Hashimoto went upstairs to hunt down the laundry workers, but the hotel was too big for the three of them to climb over. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It wasn't until Xiaozhe Zhenger led the action team upstairs and searched carefully for half an hour that he learned from a waiter that someone had died in the laundry room on the third floor. When he went over, he saw that the good guy was the cleaner who escaped.
It’s over, now we’re in trouble. Everyone who could speak, including Masago Yoshimoto, was shocked.
Baisheng Hotel is not an ordinary hotel. It covers a very large area and has many guests. If you include the hotel service staff, if you want to check the background of each one, you must not find the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
"What should I do, section chief?" Xiao Tetsuji had no choice but to ask Yoshimoto Shogo for help.
Before Xiao Tetsuji could reply, Colonel Shimizu, the representative of the Mei Agency who had just arrived from the side, snorted and said: "The Mei Agency and the Military Police will cooperate to take over the Baisheng Hotel, and other departments will provide assistance."
"I agree." Matsumoto nodded. The Mei Agency supervises all the secret service agencies in China. It is most suitable for them to take over with their own military police.
Yoshimoto Shogo didn't reply. He was a bit low-level in front of the military police and the Mei Agency, and he couldn't make the decision.
"Are you a member of the Special Higher Education Section in charge of investigating Hideo Honda?" Colonel Shimizu looked directly at Liu Changchuan.
"It's His Excellency Colonel, our investigation team has been investigating Hideo Honda." Liu Changchuan stood at attention and replied respectfully.
"Why didn't you arrest Hideo Honda as soon as possible?" Colonel Shimizu asked coldly with angry eyes. How could there have been so much trouble if he had been caught early.
"Your Excellency Colonel, our special higher education program in Shanghai is a bit lower level than the consulate, so we dare not arrest him without evidence." Liu Changchuan tilted his head and replied pretending to be helpless.
"It's all the fault of the consulate." Colonel Shimizu glared at Kentaro Watanabe, the second secretary of the consulate who was at odds with him.
"Hmph, our consulate is not to blame for this matter. Who made the extra high school class not say hello to us?" Kentaro Watanabe directly blamed it.
How shameless. Everyone cursed secretly in their hearts.
Hideo Honda himself is a member of your consulate. He dares to say that he has nothing to do with the consulate. How shameless.
"Ah... Actually, when we were investigating Hideo Honda, someone was always protecting him, but I don't know who this person is?" Liu Changchuan rolled his eyes and decided to apply eye drops and let these people go.
"And this matter, please tell me carefully." Colonel Shimizu and Susumu Matsumoto were immediately interested. The film incident was too big, and they also hoped to find a big shot who could take the blame.
Liu Changchuan glanced at Shogo Yoshimoto carefully, saw him nodded, and said softly: "When we were investigating the death of Wen Meihe, we found that someone put pressure on the Japanese Concession Police Department and did not allow Hideo Honda to be implicated. This seriously affected me. It was a waste of time and judgment, which ultimately led to today’s situation.”
"Damn it, who is so bold?" Matsumoto Jin roared angrily.
But I was overjoyed. They must be people from the consulate who put pressure on the Japanese Concession Police Department to let Hideo Honda go.
When Kentaro Watanabe heard Liu Changchuan's words, his expression immediately dropped. He knew without thinking that Hideo Honda must have asked the consulate for help, asking for help in getting rid of the suspicion of murder. This matter was troublesome, and it might bring several people from the consulate in Shanghai to justice. Big shots are involved.
As long as the water is muddy enough, you can't find me. Liu Changchuan was very happy.
Someone must take the blame for this matter. Normally, the Special High School is the main person in charge of investigating the matter. It is most suitable to take the blame. But if the consulate is involved, it will be different. Whether it is the Mei Agency or the military police. The team is more willing to point their guns at the consulate. Who makes the extra-high-level course unable to explain to the higher-ups because of its low level.
Yoshimoto Shogo was very satisfied with Liu Changchuan's adaptability. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with the Special High School, but the consulate had a high level. Although the traitor was named, they could also find an excuse to say that the Special High School did not inform them and directly passed the blame. Now it's okay Yeah, let’s see where you hide!
"Section Chief, this is the hotel guest list." When everyone was thinking about how to remove themselves, Xiaozhe Zhenger came over to report.
A total of 68 people live in the guest rooms, 29 people come out to eat and drink coffee, and 32 people are working in the hotel.
"There are too many people, and it will be difficult to investigate." Masago Yoshimoto wiped his face fiercely.
"Section Chief, why don't you ask people from Agent 76 Headquarters to come over for screening? We don't understand the language here and there are too many people in the hotel, so we can't specifically screen the hotel personnel." Liu Changchuan cautiously stepped forward and suggested.
He wanted to bring down Agent No. 76 Headquarters, so that if something happened in the future, there would be someone who would be there to carry the thunder. He had no choice but to do so. He was not Japanese himself, and would not be trusted by these old devils absolutely. He was a character who could be abandoned at any time.
"Can they believe it?" Matsumoto Jin shook his head. This matter cannot be known to outsiders.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we have too few people who can speak Chinese. If it takes too long, there may be mistakes. If the suspect finds a way to deliver the intelligence, it will be troublesome." Liu Changchuan poured a basin of oil on it.
"Yes, this matter cannot be delayed, but we cannot let the people on No. 76 know the inside story. Just say that the consulate lost the film, and the content must not be revealed." Colonel Shimizu nodded in agreement. He did not dare to waste time. The older you get, the more likely it is to have an accident.
