In the special high school class, Ishida Koyama stood in front of Mitsui and reported in detail the results of today's investigation.
"Do you suspect Pan Youbo caused the explosion?"
After hearing this, Mitsui asked immediately. In fact, when Ishida said it, he realized that Pan Youbo had serious suspicions.
"Yes, I asked the neighbor of Pan Ji Vegetable Shop. On the day of the incident, he closed the door before going to deliver the goods. After inspection, there was no cash or valuables inside. There was also no money or valuables in his home. Taking them all away, obviously prepared in advance."
After thinking for a while, Mitsui asked: "Do you think it is possible for Pan Youbo to escape?"
"No one has ever seen him come out. If he creates such an explosion, the possibility of escaping is not high."
Ishida shook his head. Pan Youbo was just an ordinary person. Only one member of the Nakamura Squadron escaped, and he escaped inexplicably. How could Pan Youbo escape?
Mitsui asked: "You are right, he is probably a dead soldier, but he has served the empire for so many years, why would he betray him?"
Ishida immediately replied: "I asked his neighbors and found out that his family disappeared two days before the explosion. Pan Youbo's explanation was that the whole family went to his daughter's house in Suzhou. I have sent people to his daughter's house to verify, but this It's probably a lie, the real reason is that someone captured his whole family and forced him to submit."
Ishida guessed a lot correctly, but neither he nor Mitsui expected that Pan Youbo came out alive.
Pan Youbo disguised himself as Matsui Toshiki, and when he was encountered by the warehouse defender, his face was dark. No one knew that he was a fake. The only people who had seen his true appearance were doctors and the dead defender.
"It's possible. Who do you think forced him?"
Mitsui asked again. Ishida's investigation was good and he was better than Hasegawa. If it were Hasegawa, he would probably revolve around Takeda Hiroshi.
Once Hasegawa suspects someone, he must investigate him thoroughly.
This is an advantage as well as a disadvantage.
When doing intelligence work, you can't let go of any doubts, but you can't just focus on one point either.
"It must be Chinese. I suspect it is Chu Lingyun's war team. This person has always been bold."
"Isn't it Hiroshi Takeda?"
Mitsui suddenly asked a question, and Ishida was stunned for a moment, realizing that Mitsui still wanted to tie Takeda Hiroshi together and take the opportunity to take revenge.
"It's possible, but not very likely. Takeda Hiroshi is Japanese. Even if he is really instigated by the Chinese to rebel, he will not personally threaten Pan Youbo. He is more likely to collect intelligence in advance."
"Indeed, there is no need for Takeda Hiroshi to come forward in person."
Mitsui nodded slightly, but his tone of voice was slightly regretful.
"Section Chief, I will focus on investigating Pan Youbo and Takeda Hiroshi next, trying to find where they are connected."
Mitsui holds a grudge very much, as you can see from what happened this time.
"Takeda Hiroshi does not need to focus on the investigation. The focus is still on Pan Youbo. He is the person most likely to cause the explosion. If we find the person behind him, we can make a great contribution."
Mitsui refused. Although he wanted to catch Takeda Hiroshi, this was not the best time.
He knew very clearly what to do and what was most important.
"Hai."
Ishida took the order and left, and not long after, Chu Lingyun received an urgent message from Catfish.
"Pan Youbo was traced so quickly?"
Ishida gave a very detailed report. Pan Youbo went to deliver food, and then an explosion occurred. His family disappeared before that, and he was suspected of committing a major crime.
Pan Youbo probably died and his family was moved away.
Ishida didn't ask if it was Chu Lingyun who did it. This was not a question he should ask. He just wanted to see the reply.
"Call Catfish back, business as usual."
After a meeting, Chu Lingyun ordered Ni Loach to kidnap Pan Youbo's family at Shanghai Station, and Liang Yu personally led the team.
Wang Yuemin also congratulated him and asked him for credit.
He didn't know whether Pan Youbo was dead or not. He hadn't asked yet, and it wasn't appropriate to ask. However, Yuan Yida was not an ordinary person, and he would definitely consider everything carefully.
Chu
There was no need for Ling Yun to remind him. Besides, he was completely unaware of the situation. If he suddenly reminded him, he could not explain why he knew Yuan Yida's identity.
Yangtze River, passenger ship arrives in Nanjing.
Pan Youbo and his family were all in the cabin and did not dare to go out.
Their whole family, as well as their two sons-in-law and their families, are scattered in various cabins. They are now out of Japanese territory, so they must be careful.
"Master, the ship has left."
When the ship started again, Pan Youbo's wife whispered, and Pan Youbo got up from the bed. He had been pretending to be asleep before to avoid others seeing him.
"Finally gone."
The stay in Nanjing was not short, and his heartbeat was very fast during the whole process, for fear of being discovered.
His performance at this time was completely different from his previous performance in the warehouse.
Once a person has a belief, no matter what kind of belief it is, he will become very brave, for himself and his family, everything counts.
But losing faith and being timid are normal reactions. After all, not many people are born bold.
"It's good to go."
Pan Youbo breathed a long sigh of relief. Until now, his family does not know what he did.
But they also knew about the explosion. His wife was suspicious and didn't dare to ask.
If this was put in the past, it would have been a major crime to punish the nine tribes. Now the whole family would be fine. Pan Youbo's wife only had one thought, that the whole family could leave safely and start a new life.
With those two thousand dollars and the money they had accumulated over the years, they could live a good life anywhere else.
Ishida received Chu Lingyun's call back a little later.
After Gongmei left, he had to send a message through the liaison officer. He couldn't stay with the liaison officer all the time, and every time he received a reply the next day.
Unless there is an emergency, such as Ishida being exposed and requiring him to evacuate immediately, the liaison officer will take the risk to notify him.
"Still as usual?"
Ishida frowned. He had already found Pan Youbo, but Chu Lingyun actually asked him to continue investigating. Was he so confident?
Soon, Ishida understood what was going on.
He found Pan Youbo but it was useless. The Chinese had already made arrangements and there would be nothing to gain from further investigation, so there was no need to worry.
This Chu Lingyun is really scary.
In the morning, those who went to Suzhou came back to report.
"Team leader, Suzhou Pan Youbo's daughter and son-in-law are not at home. They were picked up. I have never heard that Pan Youbo's family has been to their home."
"Have you found out where they went?"
Ishida narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, the person had disappeared. No matter how he checked, he couldn't find it out.
"No." The subordinate replied honestly.
"Check, let the people who stayed in Suzhou investigate carefully. We must find out where they have gone, or find them."
Ishida ordered, with Chu Lingyun's order, he didn't have anything to worry about.
It would be impossible to find out if he checked, but it would definitely not work without checking. Without checking, he would not be able to explain to Mitsui.
At the Military Police Headquarters, Takeda Hiroshi was a little uneasy.
When Ishida Koyama came to ask questions, he didn't think much about it, but the more he thought about it in the past two days, the more scared he became. He was very clear about the impact of this explosion.
Once he is suspected of being involved in the bombing, no amount of his life will be enough to fill it.
At present, all his work has been suspended, which is an order from General Matsumoto, and he can only carry out activities at the military police headquarters and home, and is not allowed to go out.
what is this? Semi-house arrest?
If you don't doubt him, you won't treat him like this. Unable to bear it, Takeda Hiroshi came to Takemoto's office again. "Why are you here again?"
Takemoto immediately closed the document. This document could not be seen by Takeda Hiroshi.
He is secretly investigating Takeda Hiroshi. The documents are all about Takeda Hiroshi, including who he is usually close to, where he often goes, what hobbies he has, etc.
Takeda Hiroshi is Japanese. If the Chinese instigate rebellion against him, it will be nothing more than wealth, women, or
Like to get started.
Takemoto wanted to investigate these situations to see if he could find any loopholes.
"Takemoto-kun, I can't feel at ease. What did Ishihara-kun say when you met him last time?"
Takeda Hiroshi asked softly. He didn't find anyone watching him, and no one did anything to him, but the more this happened, the more scared he became.
The unknown is the most frightening thing, especially when you are doubted by yourself and also by the special high school class.
He has a good relationship with Hoshino, and he once helped Hoshino. It was Ishihara Hiroshi who he personally went to find, hoping to find more helpers for Hoshino.
If Mitsui knew, would he let him go if he had such an opportunity?
"Ishihara-kun, please rest assured that as long as you haven't done anything, nothing will happen to you."
Takemoto's face dropped, and Takeda Kota couldn't keep his temper. No matter who he looked for at this time, he would do no good to anyone.
After coming to see him twice in a row, Takemoto needed to report and figure himself out.
"That's good."
Takeda Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Ishihara Toru didn't give up on him.
"You go back first, don't come back again, and don't look for anyone else.
"okay, I get it."
Takeda Hiroshi left quickly, and the person monitoring him immediately took notes.
Takemoto opened the file and continued to check the contents, hoping to find clues from these clues.
After reading it again, he quickly discovered two suspicious points.
After thinking for a moment, he came to General Matsumoto's office with the documents.
Takemoto has the right to investigate the warehouse explosion, and Takeda Hiroshi is involved in the case. It is normal for him to investigate Takeda Hiroshi.
"General, after the Special High School suspected Takeda Hiroshi, I immediately conducted an investigation on Takeda Hiroshi. I found that he had been in contact with a Chinese actress. Later, the actress disappeared, and Takeda Hiroshi never went to that theater again. .”
Takemoto said softly. General Matsumoto's expression changed and he immediately sat up straight.
"Explain the situation clearly."
"This female actress's stage name is Jasmine. She sings at the Blue Sky Theater in Zhabei. Many people like her very much. Before the Battle of Shanghai, Takeda Hiroshi had been to the Blue Sky Theater many times, but Jasmine suddenly left the Blue Sky Theater half a year ago. Takeda Hiroshi Never been there once."
"You suddenly left, where did you go?" Matsumoto asked.
"I haven't found anything yet. At the moment, I'm mainly investigating Takeda Hiroshi. Because the Special High School Class suspected him, I was worried that he would be instigated by the Chinese to rebel, so I also launched an investigation into him. If there is really a problem with him, we will not be passive."
Takemoto carefully replied that he had conducted an internal investigation and had not reported it.
"Yes, Takemoto, it's very good that you thought of investigating Takeda Hiroshi. You should verify this situation immediately. You must find out whether Jasmine is related to Chinese agents and what relationship Takeda Hiroshi has with her."
Matsumoto nodded lightly. If Matsumoto did not report and privately investigated other people in the Military Police Headquarters, Matsumoto would naturally be unhappy.
But he was investigating Takeda Hiroshi and it was after the special high school questioning.
The Special High School has begun an investigation. As the director of the intelligence department, if he does nothing, it would be dereliction of duty.
It is what Takemoto should do to investigate clearly before the special high school class begins.
Takemoto took the initiative to do it, and he was very satisfied with the results.
"General, don't worry, I will investigate clearly. In addition to Jasmine, I also found that Takeda Hiroshi often goes to the HSBC Bank in the public settlement. He goes a lot, especially in the past six months, at least two or three times a month. Last time He went there at least four times this month, and this is what I found. There may be more that I didn't find."
Takemoto revealed his second discovery.
It's okay to go to the bank. Many officers like to save their money after receiving their military pay.
But going two or three times a month, or even four or five times, is a bit abnormal.
"Does he have anything to do with people at the bank?" Matsumoto asked immediately.
"It's being verified, but based on what I know about him, he doesn't have any acquaintances in the bank."
Takemoto hurriedly replied, Matsumoto
Ben immediately remembered that Takemoto was the squadron leader before and worked under Hiroshi Takeda, so the two were indeed familiar with each other.
"Check, check everything."
Matsumoto's face turned pale. Why did Hiroshi Takeda go to the bank so many times?
Could it be that he was really instigated by the Chinese to get the money the Chinese gave him?
If that's the case, how much information did he sell out in exchange for the money?
Matsumoto was very angry. Takeda Hiroshi was from the Military Police Headquarters. If he betrayed intelligence, it would definitely be them. Takeda Hiroshi is also the deputy captain and knows many secrets.
If Takeda Hiroshi betrayed the empire, I am afraid that his Military Police Headquarters would have been known to the Chinese people, and they would even know what he did every day.
"Hai."
With the support of General Matsumoto, Takemoto had no worries and was confident.
Regarding these two doubts, he will investigate as soon as possible and verify clearly that if Takeda Hiroshi really serves the Chinese and participated in the bombing, no one can save him this time.
Ishihara-kun could still see clearly. Ishihara-kun probably suspected Takeda Hiroshi, so he asked him to investigate.
In the Special Higher Education Course, Ishida is also receiving new reports from team members from various places.
Pan Youbo's daughter and son-in-law were taken away. Someone saw their car driving towards Shanghai.
Are they coming to Shanghai?
If this is the case, Pan Youbo may still be in Shanghai, but the situation in Shanghai is complicated, especially the existence of the concession. Once they hide in the concession, it will be very difficult to find them.
They had no way to search the concession and could only send people to secretly investigate. If Pan Youbo's family didn't go out, their secret investigation would have no effect.
Except for Pan Youbo, the others are clues to Takeda Hiroshi.
Mitsui did not allow a detailed investigation and was currently focusing on surveillance. Today Takeda Hiroshi went to see Takemoto again, but this time it did not last long. After that, Takemoto went to General Matsumoto's office.
