Fourth day of hotel lockdown
Liu Changchuan got up in the morning and went to the restaurant to eat as usual. He did not go to the hotel kitchen to contact Yang Jin. There was no point in contacting him now. He would only risk Yang Jin to exchange the code unless he had no choice but to find himself alone.
The atmosphere in the conference room, which is Masago Yoshimoto's office, was a bit depressing at the moment. Liu Changchuan stood in the outer corner and listened to Colonel Shimizu shouting angrily.
"Yaroslav died before he arrived at the hospital. The film on his body was not the two lost by the consulate at all, but the contents of the film were related to the Kwantung Army's defense map. The base camp ordered that the source of the intelligence must be found."
"Your Majesty Colonel, it is impossible and incapable for Yaroslav to obtain the Kwantung Army's military defense map. There is only one possibility. There is one of his accomplices in the hotel, and that person can obtain military information from the Kwantung Army." Minamizo Masako was very satisfied. replied affirmatively.
"Masako, what do you mean?" Masago Yoshimoto leaned forward and asked.
"Xu Ping, only Xu Ping is from Bingcheng. The others in the hotel have no chance and have not even been to Manchuria." Masako Minamizo clenched her fist fiercely.
"What you said makes sense, but there is nothing we can do about Xu Ping carrying her to death. If she is killed, the consulate's film may not be found. We must be extremely careful about this matter." Colonel Qingshui warned Nan from the side. Make a sentence of Masako.
"Qingshui-kun is right. Xu Ping is our biggest suspect now, but she is from Mantetsu after all. We will not convince the Mantetsu Investigation Department without evidence." Masago Yoshimoto rubbed his hands. He rubbed his nose and said in agreement.
"Xiao Tetsu-kun, is the cleaner in the cold storage checking?" Masago Yoshimoto turned to Tetsuji Seiji.
"Section Chief, forensic medicine has proven that there is no film in the cleaner's body." Xiaozhe Zhengji spread his hands helplessly.
The forensic doctor from the Concession Police Department rushed over this morning and "examined" the whole body of the cleaner under his personal supervision. The result was disappointing to him and found nothing.
"You all tell me how to find the film. Today is already the fourth day. Counting today, we still have four days." Colonel Shimizu glanced at everyone with cold eyes.
"Your Majesty Colonel, we have no other choice but to send additional manpower to conduct a carpet search." Minamizo Masako was the first to speak.
"It's such a waste of time." Xiaozhe Zhengji interjected with a grimace.
"Then do you have any good ideas?" Masago Yoshimoto glared at Xiao Tetsu Seiji.
He felt that his subordinates generally didn't talk about their abilities and talked a lot of nonsense, which was a net embarrassment to him.
"Section Chief, you can conduct a large search, but you must be careful. Nishizono-kun lost a pistol when he was killed." Kotetsu Seiji suddenly remembered something and said suddenly.
pistol? Yes, who knows who will die next? Everyone was shocked.
Tsk, it turns out you are also afraid of death. Liu Changchuan, who was watching the excitement from a corner, raised his lips.
"Liu Sang, come here." Masago Yoshimoto greeted Liu Changchuan.
"Section Chief, what are your orders?" Liu Changchuan quickly took a few steps and rushed to Yoshimoto Shogo's side.
"Your team performed very well yesterday. Although the film recovered was not the one lost by the consulate, the content of the film is also very important. It is no worse than the other two films."
"So, your team does not need to monitor the agents of No. 76 today. If you have time, cooperate with Masako to interrogate Xu Ping." Masago Yoshimoto told Liu Changchuan.
He had high hopes for the investigation team, especially since yesterday a film was found from the Soviet spy Yaroslav when he was interrogating him. Unfortunately, Hashimoto was inexperienced and shot the person to death. This made the following The investigation was in trouble.
"He is the section chief. I will definitely obey Miss Masako's orders and actively cooperate with her in interrogating Xu Ping and retrieving the film for the empire." Liu Changchuan straightened up and replied with a serious face.
…
"Liu Sang, if you have any way to get Xu Ping to confess, please tell me." After the meeting, Masako Minamizo asked Liu Changchuan on the way back to the interrogation room.
"Masako's team, what can I do? Yesterday, my team member Hashimoto Shi found the film with some cleverness. Xu Ping is a Manchurian Railway investigator herself. She knows the rules of our industry very well. I don't think there is much hope. ." Liu Changchuan replied pretending to be helpless.
In fact, Liu Changchuan really had no choice. Xu Ping 100% had the film. Yaroslav's death proved that she must have the consulate's film, but the problem was that he didn't know where the film was.
Xu Ping had taken laxatives and there was no film on her body. The room had been turned upside down, and even the furniture had been moved away. The entire guest room was empty. You didn't even have a place to look for film, so you had nowhere to start.
…
In order to thoroughly search every corner of the hotel, the gendarmerie sent a squadron to assist in moving the furniture. It was unbelievable that the film could not be found even after everything had been moved.
At the same time in the interrogation room, Xu Ping said with a pleading look on Minami Masako's repeated questioning: "Miss Masako, I have repeated it dozens of times. I am loyal to the Empire of Japan. How could I hide the film privately? Please help me contact me." Superiors, they will prove it for me.”
"Humph, what do I prove to you? I can tell you clearly that Yaroslav has confessed and handed over the Kwantung Army fortress defense map he had hidden, and also confessed that you are a Soviet spy." Masako Minami coldly snorted, very He looked at Xu Ping with disdain.
Liu Changchuan carefully observed Xu Ping's face from the side, and he secretly admired the result. This woman was really a seasoned woman, and Minami Masako really didn't necessarily have to trick her out.
Xu Ping looked calm and confused, but actually her heart was already filled with huge waves. Yaroslav actually handed over the film of the Kwantung Army's defense plan. How could this be possible?
No, no, no, the Japanese had no evidence, and they were worried about killing Yaroslav and did not dare to be tortured. They could only use some inferior torture instruments, such as whips, tiger benches and other low-level torture instruments.
Could it be that the Kwantung Army's defense map was found by the Japanese? Yes, it is possible. Xu Ping has made up his mind that he will never confess to the Japanese unless he sees Yaroslav confess with his own eyes.
"Miss Masako, please stop trying to trick me. I don't know the person you're talking about at all." Xu Ping felt confident and became more calm when facing Minami Masako's questions.
"Liu Sang, do you want to ask too?" Minami Masako was helpless, turned around and asked Liu Changchuan in a low voice.
"Miss Masako is useless. Xu Ping has undergone strict agent training. Unless we put the evidence in front of her, she will always think that Mantetsu will save her. She knows in her heart that if she doesn't confess, she has a chance to live, but if she confesses, she will die." Liu Changchuan said to Minami Masako shook his head and whispered back.
"You're right, Xu Ping's confidence is the Mantetsu Investigation Department. It seems that she needs to know that Mantetsu has abandoned her." Minamizo Masako muttered softly.
