Both teachers and students fell into deep thought.
Zhou Sen observed Shibuya Saburo out of the corner of his eyes and found that the expression on his face did not seem to be fake. Could it be that he really didn't know the inside story?
He caught up with the train and came to Xinjing on the way, just to test Shibuya Saburo and see if the situation set by the Security Bureau was aimed at him.
But now it doesn't seem like it.
Zhou Sen knew that this was by no means an isolated matter. There was a traitor in the military command Bingcheng Station, and the traitor was still at the top who had the secrets.
Why did this man betray the military commander? What did he want to do?
He could only guess whether this person was Jiang Xiao, whose pseudonym was "Zheng Nan", and knew nothing else.
Shibuya Saburo has been in Ice City for many years. He knows Jin Ronggui better than Zhou Sen. Therefore, if it is a personal vendetta, he can tell it.
But this time it was clearly not the case.
Jianghu Vendetta really doesn't have the ability to do this. There must be a powerful organization behind it.
This level of intelligence is beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone well-trained gunmen.
If such an assassination happened in places like Shanghai and Tianjin, it would be a no-brainer that military commanders would be listed as the first suspects.
Because this is what the military commander is good at, and he has repeatedly committed serious crimes, which is a big deterrent to the traitors.
But those two places used to be the sphere of influence of the military commander, and the area outside the pass was not the sphere of influence of the military commander at all.
If Bingcheng hadn't been the intelligence center of the Far East, military commanders might not have taken it seriously and would have set up an intelligence station here.
The organization of military reunification is still far from the level that later generations will understand.
The scale and influence of Bingcheng Station are minimal, and there is no power to directly confront the puppet Manchukuo and Japanese special agencies here.
If you go too far, the price you pay will be unbearable. At present, both the military command and the underground party of the Communist Party of China prioritize survival instead of taking risks.
Therefore, military reunification rarely takes the lead, except for some small propaganda moves to attract young people to join.
It is not unreasonable for Shibuya Saburo not to take military control into consideration. An organization that never commits crimes and has no deep hatred against Jin Ronggui, what reason does it have to doubt it?
This kind of silent and blockbuster approach is always unexpected.
Even if Shibuya Saburo didn't mention it, Zhou Sen wouldn't lead him in that direction.
After all, Bai Yulan is still considered a member of the military commander, and has not officially broken with the military commander. Except for traitors, those who resist Japan are all compatriots, and he cannot inflict pain on his compatriots.
Shibuya Saburo's wife prepared dinner and invited Shibuya Saburo and Zhou Sen to the restaurant for dinner, including Ono.
The dinner arrived very happily, and Shibuya Saburo drank a lot of wine. If Zhou Sen had not booked a return ticket early in the morning, he would have wanted to keep Zhou Sen at his home.
After drinking and eating, Ono drove Zhou Sen to the guest house of the Xinjing Police Department under Shibuya Saburo's repeated instructions.
The mission and purpose of coming to Xinjing had been achieved. Early the next morning, Zhou Sen and Wu En boarded the return train early.
…
"He actually caught up with the train and went to Xinjing?"
"Yes." In Musashino's box, Akiyama Nosuke and Kageyama Jiro sat opposite each other, having a drink.
"He didn't go when Mingming was in Ice City. He had to wait for people to leave and catch up with the train. He really refused to suffer any loss." Kageyama Jiro said.
"Qin Xiong has repeatedly targeted him. If it were another day, he would just go and not give any interpretation to the outside world, but that was not the case yesterday."
"Understood. Is there no other reason?"
"Kageyama-kun means that he takes this opportunity to meet Mr. Shibuya?" Akiyama Nosuke said in surprise.
"When he goes to Xinjing, he must go to see the teacher. This is the meaning of the question." Kageyama Jiro said, "The key is, what will he say when he goes."
"Didn't you discuss this matter with Mr. Shibuya?" Akiyama Nosuke was a little surprised.
"This matter is too important. Although Mr. Shibuya is a hero of the empire, heroes also have feelings and are partial."
"Mr. Shibuya is indeed very partial to Zhou Sen. Just this time, he was promoted to police left. How many people are dissatisfied, and this does not include the Japanese."
"Zhou Sen's promotion was indeed intentional by Mr. Shibuya, but there was someone else who helped him get promoted. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy."
"You mean..." Akiyama Nosuke stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky.
"Yes." Kageyama Jiro nodded, "He will be back early tomorrow morning. You gave him ten days. Can you guess what he will do next?"
"There are not many clues about the gunman, and there is no breakthrough yet. The letter you gave is not the original, but he doesn't know it. I'm afraid that if you search in this direction, you will go astray. The only one left is to search from the source of the leak, but This one is more difficult, I'm afraid it will be difficult this time." Akiyama Nosuke said.
Without Kageyama Jiro's advance notice, even if Akiyama Nosuke himself came to investigate, there wouldn't be many good solutions.
"That person wrote again." Kageyama Jiro said slowly.
"What?" Akiyama Nosuke shook the wine glass in his excited hand, and the drink spilled out.
"He said in the letter that the three Soviet prisoners who escaped from the South Branch of the Kwantung Army General Hospital more than a year ago were rescued by the military skate team."
"What, such a big eucalyptus is actually made by the military skate team?"
"Although this cannot be safely believed, we did many investigations afterwards and found no clues. If it was really the skate team, it would not be difficult to explain." Jiro Kageyama said.
"Does he want us to check the skate team?" Akiyama Nosuke said.
"Yes, to be precise, he wants Zhou Sen to check the skate team." Akiyama Nosuke nodded and said.
"Why?"
"Because I told him that the investigation of Jin Ronggui was taken over by Zhou Sen, Special Agent Section of the National Police Agency, and then he wrote to me." Jiro Kageyama explained.
"His previous letter stated that Bai Yulan was a member of the Juntong Skate Team, but now he has provided such a piece of information, with the purpose of asking Zhou Sen to investigate. Isn't this a contradiction in terms?" Akiyama Nosuke said, " I think he wants you to stop Zhou Sen from investigating this case."
"He has already told me about Bai Yulan's relationship with the skate team, but I handed Jin Ronggui's eucalyptus to Zhou Sen for investigation. What does this mean?"
"Does it mean you trust Zhou Sen?"
"Since I trust Zhou Sen, how could I change my mind easily because of such a piece of information? Isn't his intention obvious?" Kageyama Jiro said, "He wants me to increase this trust and let Zhou Sen investigate. His own woman, and he will definitely continue to provide relevant evidence, isn’t this a good opportunity for us?”
"Then have you decided to tell him about this?"
"Of course, it's up to you to say it." Kageyama Jiro nodded.
…
As soon as Zhou Sen returned to the police station, he was called over by Akiyama Nosuke.
First, he asked about the meeting and conversation with Jin Ronggui on the train. Zhou Sen naturally answered without reservation.
】
Then he asked about his visit to the old governor of Shibuya.
Finally, it’s the highlight of the show, learning about the progress of the investigation into the assassination of “Kim Ronggui”.
It's really hard for Zhou Sen to answer this. He just came back. Even if he had assigned tasks to his men before, he hadn't had time to understand them. If there were clues, he didn't know them.
Fortunately, Akiyama Nosuke seemed to know his situation and did not embarrass him. Then he took out another letter and handed it to him.
After Zhou Sen read it, his expression changed drastically.
This "traitor" is getting more and more excessive and dangerous. He knows that Malkovich was indeed rescued by Bai Yulan's order from the Ice Blade Team.
But her rescue was due to the intelligence provided by the Juntong Bingcheng Station. The only time the Juntong Bingcheng Station provided intelligence was that the Ice Blade Team carried out the rescue operation.
Of course, the skate team only saved one person, and the other two fell short.
Malkovich has returned to China, and the person most deeply involved in this case is Chang Bo, and even Zhou Sen is more deeply involved than Bai Yulan.
For the sake of Chang Bo and Malkovich, Zhou Sen killed Yamamoto Satoshi, the director of Agent Hart, but of course, not entirely.
But Yamamoto Satoshi threatened his safety. If he didn't die, Zhou Sen himself would be finished.
Now someone is turning this old thing upside down again, and he is actually one of his own people. How can Zhou Sen not be angry?
"Section Chief, what do you mean?"
"Since the first letter was handed over to you before, the second letter will naturally be handed over to you, and you will take over the letter. This letter does not limit your time, you can check it slowly." Akiyama Nosuke said. .
"But I don't understand this thing, how can I check it?"
"Don't worry, the files on this case are all here. You can access them without worry if you need them. I'll give you permission."
"What kind of organization is this military skateboard group? Why have I never heard of it before?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Actually, this is the first time I've heard of it. Before, I only knew that the military command had an intelligence station in Bingcheng. The stationmaster's codename was: Old Cat. But I don't know who this old cat is. He is a very good person. A low-key and mysterious person.”
"Section Chief, I still have a question?"
"You speak."
"The military commander is from Chongqing, and the three who escaped from the Kwantung Army General Hospital were Soviet prisoners. Logically speaking, they are helpless. How could they rescue and pick up Soviet prisoners?" Zhou Sen asked.
Akiyama Nosuke was slightly startled. Yes, why hadn't he thought of this problem? Chongqing had a honeymoon period with the Soviet side and provided assistance with aircraft and weapons. However, the Soviet side did not have to go through such a big detour for three Soviet prisoners. Circle, please ask the military commander to arrange for rescue?
If they want to save people, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly ask the Chinese Communist Party? This makes absolutely no sense.
"Tell me what you think?" Akiyama Nosuke asked with a change of heart.
"Section Chief, do you think this person will lead the person we are investigating to the military skate team?"
"Are you saying that the assassination of Mr. Jin was carried out by the Juntong Ice Blade Team?"
"No, I think the direction of what he did is too obvious. Isn't it obvious that he has given us such a report letter at this time?" Zhou Sen said, "This military skateboard team was responsible for rescuing Soviet prisoners of war more than a year ago. Why can't we assassinate Jin Gong now? However, the motives behind these two things are incomprehensible."
"But what are this person's motives?"
"Who is the opponent of military unification?"
"Opponent, do you still need to ask this opponent?" Akiyama Nosuke glared at Zhou Sen. Do you still need to ask such a simple question?
"Section Chief, don't forget the grudge between the military commander and the CCP?"
"CCP? What's the motive?"
"Then I don't know. Maybe we are all wrong, unless this person can tell us face to face." Zhou Sen said.
"I don't care what method you use to find out this case. This is the next task I will give you." Akiyama Nosuke said.
"Yes, section chief." Zhou Sen said no more and nodded in agreement.
This is another tricky matter. Zhou Sen came out of Akiyama Nosuke's office with his brows furrowed, because he didn't want to live in peace for a day.
…
Trace inspection unit.
"Old Wu, how are you? What did you find?" Zhou Sen walked directly into Old Wu's office and asked when he saw Old Wu who was concentrating on his work.
"Ouch, you scared me. When did you come back?" Old Wu was so frightened that he almost threw away the magnifying glass in his hand.
"I just came back not long ago." Zhou Sen replied, "Didn't you say you would give me an answer this morning?"
"There is no useful information in the text. This is printed text, even though it was written by a human being." Lao Wu said.
"What about your writing habits?" Zhou Sen asked with a frown.
"This is somewhat of a discovery. When this person writes the word 'hook', he subconsciously exerts force, so the tail is a little longer. Of course, many people have this habit when writing. This is not special. In addition, when he writes, his strokes are front-heavy, middle-light, and back-heavy..." Lao Wu separated out the strokes of a character and then analyzed the writing habits to find commonalities. In addition to being careful, this work also requires patience. , the average person really can’t do it.
"Is there a source for the ink?"
"The ink is very common. The blue and black ink of the 'Gong' brand on the market is also purchased by our government. In addition to being used by various government agencies and departments, it is also used by schools and industrial and commercial agencies. It has an anti-freeze formula..." Lao Wu Yitong explained.
"That means this letter has no other value except its content?" Zhou Sen asked.
"That's more or less it. I also checked the letterhead and envelope carefully. You and Section Chief Akiyama's fingerprints were on them, but no one else's fingerprints were found."
"There are no fingerprints on the envelope?"
"No, he must have been wearing gloves. Even the postman didn't leave any fingerprints." Lao Wu explained.
"It's really watertight." Zhou Sen nodded and handed the letter Akiyama Nosuke just gave him to Old Wu, "Old Wu, please help me read this letter again to see if it is written by the same person. .”
"Another one?" Old Wu opened it and looked at it, and his expression changed. Obviously, he knew that he had read something he shouldn't have read, but he had seen a lot of secrets in the police station, so he didn't panic, "This is simple. I'll leave it to you before get off work in the evening."
"There are only two hours left before get off work, can you do it?" Zhou Sen raised his wrist and asked.
"This letter is just to verify whether it was written by the same person. It is relatively easy." Old Wu chuckled. He did not dare to keep this letter in his hands overnight.
