"What happened?"
As soon as Kenji Maemoto came in, he asked, "When I first came back, I saw Shibu Taniguchi walking out angrily?"
"He was anxious because I touched his sore spot!" Fujikura Seijiro showed a smile on his face: "Sometimes, some people need to confront each other head-on.
Before, when I was doing intelligence work, I studied many cases. To deal with some very deep-hidden spies, you must confront them head-on and expose their disguises without hesitation.
Shibu Taniguchi has a wide range of connections here, and his power far exceeds ours. If we investigate through normal channels, it may be difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.
So when he came to me just now, I made a bold decision to confront him directly and tell him all his doubts! "
"So, he is anxious?" Kenji Maemoto seemed to understand!
Fujikura Seijiro nodded: "In the end, he even tore off his mask, yelled at me, and threatened me. But I was not angry at all.
I know his mood very well at that time. When he finds himself facing a crisis, he will quickly launch a counterattack, and anger and threats are also a means of counterattack! "
"Chief of Staff, you should be more careful." Kenji Maemoto couldn't help but remind him.
"Why?"
Kenji Maemoto hesitated for a while and said: "Now, there are some rumors outside about you, saying that you were captured by the United States... Americans when you were in Lingayin Bay."
"Oh, really?" Fujikura Seijiro was not angry, but actually laughed: "Interesting, this is really the funniest joke I have ever heard.
Although we lost the battle at Lingayin Bay, I persisted until the last moment. My soldiers and I fought bravely until we were about to be surrounded, and then we evacuated from the battlefield. "
"I completely trust you, Chief of Staff." Kenji Maemoto raised his voice slightly: "But the reason why rumors become rumors is that they are highly deceptive and can easily be believed by those who do not know the truth.
What I am most worried about is that Shibu Taniguchi will use this opportunity to continue to spread rumors. He is engaged in intelligence work and he has this ability! "
Fujikura Seijiro's face became serious.
Yes, Kenji Maemoto’s concerns are not unreasonable.
Kenji Maemoto thought that Fujikura Seijiro would respond, but unexpectedly, Fujikura Seijiro gradually became firmer:
"When we do this job, we are always surrounded by rumors. I am not afraid. I will do my best and do what I should do.
Moreover, behind me, standing is Iwabuchi Sanji. I have known him for so many years. I believe that Iwabuchi Sanji will trust me! "
"What makes you so confident?"
At this moment, a voice came.
Iwabuchi three times!
Fujikura Seijiro suddenly smiled: "Speaking of you, you are here! Aren't you busy today?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I will go to work first."
Kenji Maemoto wisely left.
"It's not too busy today." Iwabuchi walked in three times: "I happen to be nearby, so I came to see you."
"It's a pity that I don't have anything to entertain you here." Fujikura Seijiro looked a little regretful: "Kikumonro, you really should add some supplies to me."
"I don't. I may be the poorest commander in the Japanese Empire." Iwabuchi smiled three times and said: "You are much richer than me, but you only got ten gold bars."
After hearing the gold bar, Fujikura Seijiro immediately said: "Kikumon-ro, just in time, let me tell you some news that I just have."
"What is it?" Iwabuchi casually found a place to sit down three times.
Fujikura Seijiro said seriously: "There is something wrong with these ten gold bars. I suspect that Taniguchi Shibu stole them from the imperial supplies."
Iwabuchi did not find it strange at all three times.
What's so surprising about this?
If Shibu Taniguchi can take out these ten gold bars at any time, he must have agreed.
But what does this have to do with myself?
What I am responsible for is how to protect Manila, not investigating whether others have embezzled materials.
Seeing the indifferent look on his friend's face, Fujikura Seijiro said: "Kikumonro, Shibu Taniguchi is in charge of the Yamayuri Society's supplies in the Philippines, and he is suspected of stealing. This is not just a betrayal of Prince Tsunede, It is also a betrayal of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!"
To be honest, Iwabuchi was a little dissatisfied three times.
When needed, Shibu Taniguchi took out ten gold bars without hesitation, knowing that he would be wronged.
But now, why does Seijiro comment on the other party like this?
"Seijiro, I also know something about the Yamayuri Association." Iwabuchi said calmly three times: "Actually, many people know what is in the so-called Yamayuri Association supplies.
In the process of concealment and transportation, incidents of theft and corruption will occur more or less. I can confirm that these gold bars belonging to Shibuya Taniguchi came from the wrong way.
But what does it matter? What does this have to do with us? After all, he took out these gold bars when you needed them most. Shouldn't we be grateful to him? "
It seems that in order to strengthen his persuasiveness: "Originally, Shibu Taniguchi could have left Manila with the gold, but he did not do so, and he chose to stay.
What does this choice mean compared to him stealing gold? Not everyone has the same determination to die as he does! "
"If you think so, I think I have discovered something." Fujikura Seijiro's face darkened: "Just before you came, Taniguchi Shibu just left me."
"Oh, really?" Iwabuchi was startled three times: "Why did he come to you?"
"Send me some documents, of course that's not the point." Fujikura Seijiro said in passing: "I am very suspicious of his purpose of staying in Manila, and I even raised questions in front of him.
If a spy has a special mission, how can he leave so easily? He will remain until his mission is completed. "
"Do you still suspect that he is a spy?" Iwabuchi's tone for the third time was already somewhat dissatisfied.
"Yes, I still remain suspicious. Until I find conclusive evidence, he will be suspect."
Fujikura Seijiro said without giving in: "Kikumonro, I know you admire Shibu Taniguchi very much, but you are an officer of the empire and you bear the responsibility of defending Manila. As your best friend, I will never I saw you were deceived!
In my previous contact with Shibuya Taniguchi, I raised all my suspicions, and do you know what happened? He became anxious, scolded me angrily, and even threatened me directly! "
