It's daybreak.
Captain Maeda sat sullenly behind his desk, and next to him stood a young officer with an equally sullen expression.
Li Youcai stood in front of his desk honestly.
Maeda looked carefully at Li Youcai, who was neatly dressed, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know why I asked you to come?"
Li Youcai quickly bowed and replied with a doubtful voice: "Taijun, I just woke up, please give me a clear explanation."
"You really don't know?" Captain Maeda's face became even more gloomy, with murderous intent revealed in his expression.
Li Youcai felt terrified and had no idea at all. He carefully thought about the possible situations. From the look on Qiantian's face, the Eighth Route Army had probably made a move on Li Youde: "Back to Taijun, I really don't know. I've been busy helping Shangchuan during this period." Your Majesty is digging a trench to block it. I wonder if your Majesty has called me here. What do you want to give me?"
Now he could only deny that as long as Taiwei didn't betray himself, there would be no problem. He never thought of doubting Hu Yi.
And Maeda arranged for someone to invite him early in the morning instead of arresting him, so the matter should not have been exposed.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and swore in his heart that next time he would do something like this, he would never try to trick others, otherwise there would be no chance for him to turn around if something went wrong.
If the guess was correct, the person next to him should be the new member of the special high school class, and he did not go to the detective team to find me, which meant that they also wanted to make things more secretive.
The lazy guy is his biggest confidant, but he knows people well but doesn't know the heart, so he once again made up his mind that this hidden danger must be eliminated no matter what!
Captain Maeda didn't speak, but the Japanese guy next to him spoke: "Li Sang is a friend of the empire, so I want to ask you a few questions. Do you mind?"
Li Youcai quickly turned around: "I don't dare, please give me orders!"
After saying that, he stood quietly and looked at the officer with a flattering look on his face: "How much do you know about the Sheep Head Project?"
Li Youcai felt nervous: not because of the question, but because of the officer's eyes.
The traitor didn't underestimate this simple problem. He was used to seeing big winds and waves, so he didn't know that he was encountering a problem again.
He knew that every next sentence he said was crucial. He didn't know exactly what Maeda knew about the situation, but he was sure that there should be no problem on the Eighth Route Road, otherwise, the officer would not be so polite.
"I don't know the specific situation. I was just Master's contact person. Later, after the bandits were eliminated, Maeda Taijun arranged for me to find a way to contact the informants in Bali. I arranged it and caused a lot of casualties to Bali. However, I have no idea who Sheephead is.”
"Do you know Li Yong?"
"He is the deputy battalion commander under Li Youde." Li Youcai replied quietly, and then asked carefully: "What's wrong with him?"
"He was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army early yesterday morning and was killed in action?" Maeda said slowly, his face still gloomy.
"So, is something wrong with Li Youde?" Li Youcai was a little trembling in his heart and quickly changed the subject a little further.
"The blame lies here, Li Sang, tell me, why is it that when an army attacks, the Eighth Route Army ambush does not hit the front team, the rear team, but the middle team?" The officer next to him didn't seem to care much about Maeda. Opinion, direct question to the traitor.
"Ah, how do I know this? I have never fought in a war. I admit that I am lazy and I like to gamble. But I know nothing about war! If you don't believe me, ask Taijun Maeda." Li Youcai turned his head to Maeda with a sad face.
Maeda's face became slightly better and he nodded: "Li Sang is also considered a talent in the detective team. His gun may not have been fired in a year. We checked and you have been at the construction site during this time."
The officer next to him was surprised, silent for a while and said, "Let me ask you, how does your insider contact you now?"
Li Youcai was not stupid. He elaborated on the unimportant things: "Uh... this matter, after I left Lubupu, I arranged for people to sneak into the Eighth Route Army. Those messages were sent here by lazy people. I Then I sent it to Maeda Taijun. Later, thanks to Taijun's care, and because I have been in the detective team for a long time, Taijun arranged for people to go into the mountain again. I don't know the specific situation. Did something happen?"
"Okay, it's none of your business." Maeda waved his hand.
Li Youcai slowly stepped back to the door, turned around, opened the door and went out.
In the office.
"The person who contacted Li Yong was arranged by me personally and has nothing to do with him." Maeda's expression was still not good.
"I just want to know how exactly the Eighth Route Army killed the informant?" the officer said with a murderous look on his face.
"It was a battle, with sixty or seventy casualties. I think it might be normal battlefield casualties." Maeda didn't know the specific situation.
"No, I think there is a trace of doubt, and we have to find out." The officer did not intend to give up on finding out the reason.
"I understand what you mean. Now, Li Yong is actually of little use. It doesn't really matter whether he is there or not." Maeda thought for a moment.
"I don't agree with your opinion. We should place intelligence personnel wherever they are useful to consolidate the occupied areas."
"You have taken over the intelligence work. I will not interfere with your next work. I hope you can handle the affairs of the detective team yourself and don't waste your energy on setting up traps for profit."
"Maeda-kun, your work is very effective. You are a candidate for the Model County of Public Security. Maybe you will be promoted and transferred away after a while, but please don't forget that everything we do should put the interests of the empire first."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"You should not have a tacit agreement with the national government behind closed doors."
"Don't you know about the base camp's plan to lure the government to surrender?"
"Please remember that the key task of the Special High School is to penetrate into non-occupied areas. Please pay more attention to the work in occupied areas."
"You can tell me if you need my cooperation."
"We need to make use of that Lin Xiu man. It is in our interests to let the Chinese kill each other!"
"You can go ahead and do it." Maeda's face returned to calmness.
"This Li Youcai is a good breakthrough point, but he controls our intelligence line, which is very bad." The officer was helpless.
"I understand what you mean, he knows too much." Maeda tapped his fingers on the table.
"The line in the Eight Routes must be expanded into a network. There is news from the inside line entering the mountain. He can't contact Yangtou now. We can't put our hope on him alone."
"This is the job you have to carry out now!" Maeda has already received the news. If nothing happens, it won't be long before he will be promoted and transferred away from this dull and uneventful county.
"Because of this, Li Yong was suddenly killed not long after our insiders came into contact with him. I suspect that Li Youde colluded with the Eighth Route Army."
"No, no, no, you can't look at it this way. In the occupied areas, you simply can't guarantee that every Chinese person is of the same mind as the empire. They rely on us, either to take advantage of our power, or because they are desperate. In general, interests, Profit is the prerequisite for them to stay with us, do you understand?"
"I understand, but as an occupied area, the schools in Meixian County did not start teaching Japanese until the order was issued. This is your dereliction of duty. At the same time, the cavalry was destroyed in your defense area, and you are also to blame."
"I am a soldier, and I bear the responsibilities that should be borne by me. The cavalry is not under my command, and please remember that my scope of work does not include cultural infiltration in occupied areas." Maeda frowned.
"The empire is currently under a tight staff. I hope you can help solve this problem!"
