Outside the temporary interrogation room, Masako Minamizo asked someone to pour two cups of coffee, and said to Liu Changchuan: "The Manchurian Railway employee named Xu Ping is very suspicious. First of all, she was in the coffee shop during the shootout, and the room she lived in was not far from where the cleaner died. The location is very close, if she hadn’t been from Mantetsu, I would have executed her long ago.”
"Does Colonel Shimizu of the Mei Agency know about this?" Liu Changchuan took a sip of coffee and asked tentatively.
"I know, His Excellency Colonel is communicating with the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department, hoping that both parties can cooperate sincerely for the sake of the empire." Minamizo Masako smiled bitterly. She didn't believe that the arrogant gang of Manchurian Railway would allow Xu Ping to be sentenced to death.
"Have you searched Xu Ping's room carefully?"
"Of course we searched. My people, including your special high school intelligence team, and even the people from the Mei Agency searched carefully. There was nothing, nothing was found." Minamizo Masako shook his head.
She really hoped that Colonel Qingshui would allow her to put Xu Ping to death. Only then could she be sure whether she had taken the film and find out whether Xu Ping had any accomplices to help him hide the film.
"Besides Xu Ping, are there any other suspects?" Liu Changchuan asked cautiously.
"A few of them are hotel guests on the third and fourth floors. Shi Hashimoto of your team reviewed the scene of the shootout and concluded that the white Western agents may have accomplices in the hotel. In addition, the cleaner Hideo Honda When he was seen taking the film, someone must have targeted the cleaner, so he killed the cleaner and snatched the film."
"Section Chief, Targets No. 1, 5, and 8 have all been sentenced, but they all said that they were just businessmen. Because they encountered a gunfight in the cafe, they took the elevator back to their rooms to take refuge because they were worried about the spread." Araki walked to Nanzo. Masako came forward to report.
"I understand, you continue to ask Agent No. 76 to cooperate with the screening." Minamizo Masako waved his hand.
"Waiter, do you have any questions?" Liu Changchuan handed a cigarette to Araki who was about to leave, and asked Minami Masako one more question.
"Of course there is. In my mind, everyone in the hotel is a suspect. If they don't find the film, none of them will survive." Minamizo Masako narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
"Then if Miss Masako has any instructions, I will definitely do my best to contribute to the empire." Liu Changchuan stood up, bowed and prepared to leave.
He no longer wanted to talk to Minami Masako anymore. The Japanese would not give up until they found the film.
"I will. Please tell Senior Yoshimoto that I hope to increase manpower to search the interior of the hotel carefully. The film area is too small and can be easily hidden. I need manpower."
"Don't worry, Miss Masako. I'll go back and report your request to the section chief immediately." Liu Changchuan waved to Mieko beside him and headed to Masago Yoshimoto's temporary office.
"Section Chief, this is what Miss Masako means. With so many people coming to our special higher education course, there may be a shortage of manpower in the headquarters when deploying manpower." Liu Changchuan reported his conversation with Masako Minamizo to Yoshimoto Shogo.
Masago Yoshimoto smiled bitterly and replied: "There is no way, we can't let the people from No. 76 search. I don't believe them, and Colonel Shimizu won't agree to it. There are moles in Agent No. 76 headquarters one after another. If the film is found, And secretly take away who can bear the responsibility, and no one dares to take the responsibility.”
"Liu Sang?"
"Section Chief, your orders." Liu Changchuan quickly lowered his body and took a step forward.
"In addition to monitoring Agent 76, your investigation team also allows you to cooperate with Masako in screening guests, but you have to remember that you only need to be responsible to me and Xiao Tetsu-kun." Masago Yoshimoto looked serious. 's command.
"It's the section chief. I will try my best to find the film." Liu Changchuan quickly agreed.
"Section Chief, news came from the hospital that the white agent woke up, but he was seriously injured. The military police did not dare to interrogate him strictly for fear of making mistakes, so they requested the cooperation of the Special High School Section." Nakamura hurriedly opened the door and came in to report.
"When did you wake up?" Masago Yoshimoto asked overjoyed.
"Half an hour ago, the gendarmerie increased manpower protection and asked us to send people over as soon as possible."
Yoshimoto Shogo stood up and walked around the table, glanced at Liu Changchuan and said: "Liu Sang, you understand English. You should go to the Army Hospital to interrogate the white agent immediately. You must find a way to find out which country he is serving. .”
"It's the section chief, I'll take someone there right now." Liu Changchuan secretly cursed himself for being unlucky.
He once scanned the white agent with his "scanning eye", the British Intelligence Agency agent, that guy was seriously injured, how could he confess while lying on the bed, even if he was sentenced to death, it would be a hard job if you could bear the responsibility if he was killed. .
Liu Changchuan did not take Kogoro and Hashimoto with him. They had to stay behind to monitor Agent No. 76, especially Hashimoto. He was now valued by Masako Minamizo and it was impossible to let him leave, so he could only take him with him. Mieko is as timid as a mouse and just wants to live a peaceful life.
The gendarmerie cordoned off at the entrance of Baisheng Hotel, and Liu Changchuan was continuously searched by several gendarmerie for more than ten minutes before he was released. Miezi blushed with shame and cursed loudly, causing the gendarmerie soldiers to burst into laughter.
The army hospital is now heavily guarded. The gendarmerie and hospital guards have completely surrounded the white agents' ward on the third floor. Not even a fly can fly out of the entire west corridor on the third floor. The person responsible for guarding and protecting Liu Changchuan, whom he met outside the hotel. Mishima, the military police squad leader.
"Mishima-kun, how are you?" Liu Changchuan asked with a worried look as he handed over a cigarette.
"When the person woke up, the doctor told me that he could speak, but he could not be sentenced to death." Mishima repeated the doctor's words.
"Did he say anything?" Liu Changchuan asked.
"No, the consulate agent just went in for questioning, but he didn't say a word and clearly had professional training." Mishima glanced at a man in a suit at the end of the corridor.
Liu Changchuan followed Mishima's gaze and knew that the man should be an agent from the consulate. He did not come forward to get close. The consulate had strict rules and generally did not have contact with outsiders.
"The doctor didn't say whether the white agent might have died suddenly due to his injuries." Liu Changchuan was most concerned about this matter. He didn't want to cause problems when he asked.
"As long as there is no strenuous exercise, there will be no life-threatening danger."
Phew, that’s good. Liu Changchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already made a calculation in his mind. If the white agent didn't say anything, he would go directly back to report to Masago Yoshimoto. People wouldn't die anyway, so he wouldn't have to take responsibility.
Liu Changchuan threw away the cigarette butt and said with a smile: "Mishima-kun, then I will go in and meet this Western agent for a while and talk to him. What if he confesses because he sees me being kind?"
"Hahaha, thank you for your hard work, Liu Sang." Mishima laughed and opened the door.
He didn't think Liu Changchuan would let the white agent confess. Unless Da Xing waited, it would be useless for anyone to come.
