Chen Runeng initially asked Shancheng to "make it clear", but after receiving the telegram from the Military Command Bureau, he changed the plan without authorization. He always felt that he was more familiar with the situation at Shenpu Station and that he could dig out the inside information faster.
As a result, after three operations, not only did they not find the inside information, but they became even more confused.
Chen Runeng trusted Luo Wenzhuo the most, but as a result, Luo Wenzhuo's team had problems.
After Luo Wenzhuo sent someone to Dahua Airport to find out secretly and learned that a member of the Japanese royal family had indeed arrived, his doubts were finally lifted.
Moreover, Dahua Airport will increase its security level in the future, making it difficult for irrelevant personnel to enter the airport again.
In other words, it is almost impossible for the Juntong Shenpu Station to destroy Dahua Airport.
Shenpu Station abandoned Xie Xuan's plan, and Xie Xuan would no longer participate in the subsequent plan to screen Japanese spies.
He had already suggested to Yamashiro that in order to find this Japanese spy, Shenpu Station must cooperate fully and all personnel must act according to plan.
The Dahua Airport plan failed, and Xie Xuan suspected that the Special High School had noticed something.
In order to verify his conjecture, Xie Xuan decided to start with two Japanese officers who were attacked.
Army Major Yoshie Isobe was shot dead. He was shot once in the back and once in the temple. This was an effect that could only be produced by two people shooting at the same time.
Navy Captain Nobu Ishibashi was also shot twice, but he was not killed because he missed his vital points.
Xie Xuan wanted to visit the hospital, but after learning his identity, he was blocked from the door.
A black and strong naval lieutenant at the door looked indifferent and deliberately said in Japanese: "This is a matter of the navy. We will investigate it ourselves."
Xie Xuan also replied in Japanese: "I already know who the murderer is."
The Japanese army and navy are two magical departments. Not only are they enemies of life and death, they are at least incompatible with each other.
The two families often attack each other and look down upon each other.
As for trying to undermine each other, it is even more common.
For example, when the Army recruits soldiers, it will recruit sailors from shipyards.
The Navy's recruitment will go to the weapons factory specifically, for no other reason than to allow the Army to build fewer weapons.
As for the intelligence department, the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shenpu has its own dedicated intelligence office.
This intelligence office mainly collects intelligence on the military and police Xiante party affairs systems of the Kuomintang stationed in Shenpu, military deployment information, and armed security patrols in Hongkou District, cracks down on underground anti-Japanese personnel and organizations that instigate rebellion against the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, intercepts and deciphers suspicious radio stations, and conducts investigations on the Japanese on the Yellow River. Internal and external defense of warships, etc.
After the Japanese Army launched the July 7th Incident in Peiping, the Intelligence Office of the Japanese Marine Corps was unwilling to let the Army launch a war of aggression alone, so it joined forces with the Japanese Ronin in Shanghai to create excuses for the incident and attempted to provoke a full-scale war.
"who is it?"
"Can you take a look at Captain Nobu Ishibashi first?"
"……go in."
Ishibashi Nobu, a middle-aged man with a beard, was shot once in the abdomen and arm.
After learning that Xie Xuan was from the Secret Service, he was filled with disgust. The conflict between the navy and the army made him not have a good impression of Xie Xuan.
The navy was injured, why should people from the army investigate? Besides, Xie Xuan is not even considered an Army member. At most, he is just a dog raised by the Army.
"The person who attacked Captain Nobu Ishibashi is from the Shancheng Military Command Bureau. To be precise, he should be an operative from the Military Command Shenpu Station."
Xie Xuan pretended to look at Shi Qiaoxin's injury and said firmly.
Shi Qiaoxin gritted his teeth and said, "I guess it's them too. If I catch them, I will chop them up and feed them to the dogs."
Xie Xuan said: "Don't worry, I will catch them as soon as possible."
"Come out with me for a moment."
The second lieutenant next to him suddenly said that since Xie Xuan could see that the attacker was from the Secret Service, he naturally could not be allowed to leave casually.
"I wonder if your Excellency is...?"
"I'm Asano Imada, staff officer of the Marine Corps Intelligence Team."
Xie Xuan bowed and said hurriedly: "Hello, Counselor Imada."
A second lieutenant can be a staff officer, but a staff officer is not necessarily a second lieutenant. He can also be a lieutenant or a captain. Calling "staff officer" means elevating the other party's identity.
Imada Mano pondered: "Is your information reliable?"
Xie Xuan vowed: "It is absolutely reliable. As long as you give me a little time, I will definitely catch the murderer."
Imada Asano said coldly: "The people who hurt our navy will naturally be caught by our navy. At the Military Command Shenpu Station, I will make them pay the price!"
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "This kind of thing can be handled by the Secret Service. There is no need to bother Staff Officer Imada."
Imada Mano said: "No, it involves the honor and face of the navy, and you can't do it to others!"
Even if the murderer can't be caught, if a few military commanders are caught, something can be explained.
If the Secret Service or the Military Police catch someone, even if they are sent to the Marine Corps, what's the point?
By then, the gendarmerie people would be arrogant, and he didn't want to see their faces.
Xie Xuan did not speak and could not speak. Since Imada Asano wanted to protect the honor of the navy, let him arrest people.
Whether it can be caught or not is another matter.
In terms of maintaining public security in Shenpu and combating underground anti-Japanese activities, the Military Police and the Secret Service have always taken the lead.
Imada Mano said: "Xie Sang, you have to help me with this matter and provide information to the Intelligence Department."
Xie Xuan said awkwardly: "I am from the Secret Service..."
Imada Asano said seriously: "The Secret Service serves the Empire of Japan. As a member of the Secret Service, you must also obey the orders of the Marine Corps Intelligence Division. I now order you to provide me with intelligence."
Xie Xuan hesitated and said: "But..."
Imada Asano said: "I know you have to be ordered by the Military Police, so I won't embarrass you. You can just provide me with information secretly. Don't worry, if something goes wrong, the Intelligence Department will take care of you."
After Xie Xuan thought for a while, he said in a deep voice: "If I find information about the military commander, I will tell Staff Officer Imada, but I must ask you to keep it secret for me."
"Yo Xi, thank you very much, Xie Sang. From today on, you will be an intelligence officer of my intelligence department, and you will have a monthly allowance."
Xie Xuan said: "It doesn't matter if you work for Japan, whether you have a stipend or not. If Staff Officer Imada can get me a certificate from the Intelligence Department, it will be much easier for me to do things."
Imada Asano smiled and said: "As long as you catch the military commander, there will be no problem with your ID."
The despicable Chinese only want to be protected by the Japanese Empire. They will work for the intelligence service for a broken document. Such dogs are good dogs.
Imada Mano didn't know how convenient it would be for Xie Xuan to do things in the future if he got the ID from the Intelligence Office.
After returning to the Secret Service, Xie Xuan went to see Masao Nakajima.
"Nakajima-kun, I went to Hongkou to see Captain Nobu Ishibashi. From his injuries and the process of being attacked, I can conclude that this was a terrorist act carried out by the military."
