The suitcase Sinclair brought did contain a lot of useful things.
Especially the large amount of documentation.
From these documents, it can also be seen that Chiyuki Akagi was a very capable person. If he had not died, he might have really accomplished something.
He knew that the patrols in the public concession did not listen to him, so he checked the information of the detectives and captains of each police station in the shortest possible time, and classified them into categories.
Which detectives and captains are difficult to tame. Which captains and detectives are likely to be bribed.
Those who are going to be fired and who will be chosen as successors are all clearly marked.
There are also some points that have been controlled by the military and how to control them in the future. In a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that was not sent in time, he clearly planned a comprehensive plan to use his current position to gradually reduce the military command's survival in the public concession.
This man died in time, otherwise he would have caused great damage to the military command if he had secured this position.
At the bottom of the information, there is a document marked "Top Secret".
Meng Shaoyuan began to be grateful to Sinclair. If this person hadn't acted quickly and took control of the office when the Japanese were panicking because of Akagi's death, he might not have been able to see these documents.
He opened the file:
"The 'Dog Ear' has entered the dog's den... The military commander is urgently pursuing the investigation. They plan to hide the 'Dog Ear' for a period of time and then move it out of the public concession..."
Dog ears? Dog hole?
Is this a code name? But what does this mean?
Are the military commanders investigating urgently?
Why don't you know anything about it?
Dog ears should represent individuals.
The dog's den is his hiding place.
What about the others?
"Wu Jingyi."
"Here, what's going on?"
Meng Shaoyuan closed the document: "Do you know who among us has the codename 'Dog Er'?"
"Dog ears?" Wu Jingyi was also startled: "I have no impression. Maybe Zhou Weilong or Cheng Yiming is responsible?"
After the military unified operations were dispersed, Meng Shaoyuan, Zhou Weilong, and Cheng Yiming each took charge of their own areas. They also communicate with each other and support each other, but if it involves high confidentiality, other departments will not know it.
"Get in touch with Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan had no time to think: "There are only two words in the telegram, dog ears."
"I know, I'll do it right away."
…
Tian Qi was lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, looking straight up.
His whole body was covered in bruises and it hurt terribly when he moved.
Chop Suey Miao Cheng Fang, Chop Sui Meng Shaoyuan!
I will never be a spy again in my next life.
Only Master Qi has always tortured people, but look at Master Qi now?
He suddenly began to think of Hua'er...ah, and Lin Xuan.
He kept recalling their appearance in his mind.
Only in this way can his physical pain be alleviated.
Kawamoto Kojiro found nothing with him, and that old bitch Miao Chengfang didn't show up to save him until now.
Tian Qi suspected that Miao Chengfang did this on purpose, deliberately abandoning himself and causing himself to suffer.
Just wait, as long as Master Qi can survive, this account must be settled with you.
The door opened.
Three people walked in.
Kojiro Kawamoto, Nitsugi Matsumoto, and:
Miao Cheng Fang!
Miao Chengfang glanced at Tian Qi, who was covered in injuries, as if nothing had happened.
"Kawamoto-kun, did the interrogation reveal anything?" Matsumoto Nitsugi's face was expressionless.
"Sir Matsumoto, no." In this matter, Kawamoto Kojiro did not dare to hide anything: "I have tried many methods, but I have not found anything particularly valuable."
"Then it proves that there is nothing wrong with him and we can let him go, right?"
"Your Excellency Matsumoto, I suggest you keep him here for a while." Kawamoto Kojiro said cautiously: "During the interrogation, he will appear in a trance, and many of his answers will be incoherent..."
He immediately saw the dissatisfied expression on Matsumoto Nitsugi's face.
It's hard to explain to them myself.
During the interrogation, he tried many times to capture Tian Qi's performance when he was lying, but failed every time. When Tian Qi should tell the truth, he always tells some inexplicable lies, making it impossible for him to tell the difference.
And this only increased his suspicion.
What Kojiro Kawamoto can confirm is that Meng Shaoyuan is a master of psychology, his level is far higher than his own, and Tian Qi is Meng Shaoyuan's right-hand man.
Did Meng Shaoyuan give him special training to deal with today's situation?
A person who can answer the simplest questions incorrectly, such as when he joined Lixingshe and where he is from, is obviously targeted.
"I agree with Mr. Kawamoto." Miao Chengfang actually said: "The suspicion on Tian Qi must be completely eliminated before he can safely allow him to serve the empire. I have no objection to continuing to interrogate Tian Qi for half a year or a year. Opinion."
You old bitch.
Tian Qi heard his words clearly and cursed in his heart.
"Kawamoto-kun." Matsumoto Nitsugi said coldly: "I appreciate your serious and responsible attitude, and you can continue to investigate Tian Qi. However, since Chimu Akagi died, we can be sure that it was the military commander, and even, It is determined that Meng Shaoyuan ordered the assassination of Lord Chimu. The situation is very urgent and we must come up with a response plan as soon as possible."
Having said this, he pointed at Tian Qi who was lying on the ground: "This person was once Meng Shaoyuan's subordinate. He is very familiar with Meng Shaoyuan. No matter what suspicions he has on him, I need to use him to deal with Meng Shaoyuan. So, I He needs to get to work immediately and serve the empire. As for your investigation, you can still continue."
Matsumoto Nitsugi is his immediate superior, and if he openly disobeys orders, he will be passive in his future work.
Moreover, if the torture continues like this, there will be no particularly satisfactory results. It is better to secretly observe and investigate Tian Qi in the future.
So Kawamoto Kojiro immediately said: "Yes, Sir Matsumoto, I will release Tian Qi immediately."
"Find him a doctor." Matsumoto Hitoshi came to squat in front of Tian Qi, with a smile on his face, and said in fairly fluent Chinese: "Mr. Tian, you have suffered."
"I want to go back to Meng Shaoyuan." Tian Qi gasped: "If I had known how hard it was to be a traitor, I wouldn't even want to kill me."
"Ah, no, you are not a traitor, you are my friend, a friend of the Japanese Empire, Mr. Tian."
…
Cheng Yiming, secretary of the Shanghai latent area of the military command, opened the door and walked in.
It was very different from the Secretary Cheng that Meng Shaoyuan saw when he first arrived in Shanghai. At this time, Cheng Yiming was dark and thin. He had been directing battles on the front line for a long time, which made his face not look good.
"Secretary Cheng, please take a seat." Meng Shaoyuan poured tea for him: "Secretary Cheng is here very rarely. Why do you look so bad? I heard that during the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai, you were always directing from the front. Why do you have to work so hard? Woolen cloth?"
"Aren't you always on the front line?" Cheng Yiming smiled, and then sighed: "I am different from you. All of you are upright and young, and are either old men from Director Dai or from Huangpu. I am different. , I used to be from there, and I surrendered here, but if I don’t work hard, I won’t be immune to the verbal abuse.”
Meng Shaoyuan didn't ask much: "Secretary Cheng is here today. What instructions do you have?"
"How dare I instruct you? You are now the most popular person in front of Director Dai." Cheng Yiming put down his cup: "Director Dai asked me to come."
Did Dai Li ask you to come?
"Dog ears."
As soon as the words Cheng Yiming came out, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.
The emotional person knows the situation of "dog ears".
Is Cheng Yiming responsible?
"Don't blame yourself for not knowing." Cheng Yiming said slowly: "You and District Chief Zhou are mainly responsible for fighting the enemy, and I am mainly responsible for political work. I am mainly responsible for the 'Dog's Ear'. Of course, The Japanese call him 'Dog Ears', and we give him the code name 'Butterfly'. To talk about this, we have to start many years ago.
For a period of time, we learned from Japan in an all-round way and hired many Japanese instructors in the army. Not only that, a large number of Japanese entered China one after another. Some of them are here for business. Some are here to be spies, and some are there? I really came to exchange and learn from China. Some Japanese are hostile to China, but there are also some who are close to China.
In the eighth year of the Republic of China, Yenching University was established. At that time, there was a Japanese named Kawakami Katsukichi, who was one of the first visiting professors of Yenching University and worked at the law school. This person is very friendly to China and has a kind heart. He will always try his best to help some students in need..."
This is somewhat similar to Yamashita Yuri's father. Meng Shaoyuan thought to himself that Yamashita Yuri's father was also very close to China and was even assassinated for this reason.
"Kawakami Katsuyoshi stayed at Yenching University for seven years. In the 15th year of the Republic of China, Yenching University moved. Kawakami Katsuyoshi had business in Japan, so he returned to China. After this separation, he never returned to China." Cheng Yiming continued. Said: "After the September 18th Incident broke out, he asked someone to bring a letter, which was forwarded to the National Government through Leighton Stuart, the president of Yenching University, and was read by the chairman himself. The letter probably meant that he was sorry for Japan's ugliness. I'm sorry for my behavior, etc.
In order to ensure his safety, the Nationalist Government did not publish this private letter of apology, but the Chairman also said that Japan has enemies and friends. These true friends need to be treated well by us.
In the 19th year of the Republic of China, Kawakami Shengyoshi died of illness, which is very regrettable. However, he protected himself very well, and his sympathy for China was never exposed. "
It seems that Kawakami Katsukichi must have an inseparable connection with "Dog Ears".
"Kawakami Katsuki only has one son, Kawakami Hideki." Cheng Yiming lowered his voice obviously: "He is a soldier. He also participated in the Songhu Battle. He is the captain of the 9th Engineer Regiment of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army. Captain."
Meng Shaoyuan knew what "Dog Ears" was about at this moment.
