Chapter 1521 Master Atsuto's Test (asking for monthly ticket)
"Commander, Chief Tsuchida wants to see you for something." The voice of the guard came from outside.
Junichiro Ikeuchi winked at Atsuto Kawada, who stepped forward and opened the office door.
Tsuchida Minetarou came in, and when he saw Kawada Atsuto, he nodded slightly to the young nobleman.
"Kawada, please go out." said Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"Huh!" said Atsuto Kawada.
Then he saluted Junichiro Ikeuchi, turned and left, closing the door behind him.
……
"Commander." Tsuchida Minetarou saluted Ikeuchi Junichiro and reported, "Kubota Hiromi, Ishizaka Ryotaro and others have taken control of them."
"What did Kubota Hiromi say?" asked Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"Kubota only admitted that he ordered the seizure of Cheng Qianfan's cargo out of revenge," said Tsuchida Minetarou. "As for how to deal with this batch of cargo, Kubota Hiromi has no further plans."
He said to Ikeuchi Junichiro, "Kuroda Hiromi's plan should be to use this batch of goods as a threat to force Cheng Qianfan to come and beg for mercy. If what he said is true, it is not in his interest to burn the goods."
"Do you believe what Hiromi Kubota said?" asked Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"Based on my understanding of Kubota, he may be more utilitarian. In fact, the news that I will be transferred to Manchuria has been spread a long time ago, and Kubota has been seeking to perform meritorious deeds in order to become my successor." Tsuchida Minetarou said thoughtfully, "Based on my understanding of Kubota, he may even murder his colleagues for promotion, but it is unlikely that he would participate in arson of warehouses for money."
"You are quite honest." Junichiro Ikeuchi glanced at Minetarou Tsuchida.
"This is better than Kubota being implicated in the fire case." Tsuchida Minetarou said with a wry smile, "As Kubota Hiromi's superior, if he makes any mistakes, I will punish him according to military law. However, we cannot watch them being wrongly blamed for mistakes they did not make."
"Very good, Tsuchida, you didn't disappoint me." Junichiro Ikeuchi nodded with satisfaction.
Tsuchida Minetarou thought that Kubota Hiromi was not at fault, which made him quite relieved and secretly relieved. If Kubota Hiromi was also involved in the case, then the problem would be even bigger:
Kubota Hiromi was the head of the Second Section of the Security Room, and Kamiijiro, who "committed suicide," was the captain of the Second Battalion of the Security Room.
A lieutenant colonel in charge of security work and a major in charge of guard work, if they collude with each other, the problems that may arise behind this are enough to make Junichiro Ikeuchi shudder just thinking about it.
Not to mention, the "suicide" of Jiichiro Kamio was enough to make Junichiro Ikeuchi highly alert.
"Tsuchida." Ikeuchi Junichiro looked at Tsuchida Fengtaro solemnly, "You are my most trusted subordinate. This matter is very difficult. I need you to help me eliminate possible problems within the gendarmerie before going to Manchuria."
"Wherever the commander's sword points, Tsuchida will not hesitate." Tsuchida Minetarou said excitedly.
"Very good, very good." Ikeuchi Junichiro laughed happily. He patted Tsuchida Minetarou's shoulder vigorously. "My Tsuchida hound, I can rest assured with you around."
……
Shortly after Tsuchida Fengtaro left, Onodera Masago, the chief of the Intelligence Room's First Section, knocked on the door and came in.
"Your Excellency the Commander." Onodera Masago saluted Tsuchida Minetarou.
"I have ordered Atsuto Kawada to join you in the joint investigation team in Kiyomizu." Junichiro Ikeuchi said in a deep voice, "Do you know what your mission is?"
"Assist Chief Kitani in investigating the warehouse fire case and catch the anti-Japanese elements who sneaked into the headquarters to cause sabotage, or catch the rat inside the headquarters." Onodera Masago said.
Junichiro Ikeuchi shook his head slightly.
He looked at Onodera Masago meaningfully.
"I understand." Onodera Masago suddenly felt happy and said with a serious expression, "I will do my best to ensure Kawada-kun's safety and protect him to successfully investigate the case."
"Very good." Junichiro Ikeuchi nodded slightly and waved his hand.
"I'll take my leave." Onodera Masago saluted Junichiro Ikeuchi and turned to leave.
Junichiro Ikeuchi stood with his hands behind his back in front of a wall with a map of Shanghai hung on it. However, his eyes did not seem to rest on the map, but were lost in thought.
A guard knocked on the door and came in, "Commander, Mizuguchi Atsushi is here."
"Let him in." Junichiro Ikeuchi said in a deep voice.
……
Onodera Masago found Kawada Atsuto in the senior officers' dormitory.
"Why are you back in the dormitory at this time, Kawada-kun?" Onodera Masago said with a wry smile, "I've been looking for you in the office building for a long time."
"I'm waiting." Kawada Atsuto lit a cigarette, flicked the lighter to light it, took a light puff, then threw the cigarette box on the table and nodded at Onodera Masago.
"What are you waiting for?" Onodera Masago took a cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff.
"Wait and see if Onodera-kun will come to see me." Kawada Atsuto said with a smile.
"The commander told me that Kawada-kun will also join the investigation team..." said Onodera Masago.
"I'm still waiting for Onodera-kun. I want to hear what you would say if you came to see me." Kawada Atsuto flicked the ash from his cigarette and smiled faintly.
Onodera Masago's eyes suddenly became serious. He glanced at Kawada Atsuto, then suddenly smiled. He flicked the ash from his cigarette, took another puff of cigarette, and nodded, "It seems that I did not disappoint Master Atsuto."
Kawada Atsuto looked at Onodera Shogo deeply and smiled, "Because Onodera-kun is a smart man, and smart people never make mistakes in multiple-choice questions."
……
"The commander ordered me to protect Kawada-kun," said Onodera Masago. "Protect Kawada-kun from getting hurt during the investigation."
Kawada Atsuto chuckled, "The Commander is indeed very kind to me."
Then he asked Onodera Shogo, "What do you think of the commander's order, Onodera?"
Onodera Masago did not answer immediately; he was lost in thought.
There is nothing wrong with Commander Junichiro Ikeuchi's order:
Major Jiichiro Kamii, the leader of the Second Battalion of the Security Office who was responsible for the warehouse fire, actually committed suicide in the detention room of the Inspection Office.
Although according to the preliminary autopsy, Jiichiro Kamii did show signs of committing suicide by banging his head against the wall out of fear of crime.
However, Onodera Masago had a strong intuition that Kamio Jiichiro would never commit suicide out of fear of punishment.
Although he was not familiar with Kamigoi Jiichiro, he had seen Kamigoi Jiichiro when the warehouse caught fire that day. The performance of this officer, who was said to be a hunter, when faced with the emergency situation really disappointed Onodera Masago.
In a word, Kamiijichiro is incompetent. Not to mention being excellent, he can hardly be considered a qualified imperial officer.
If Kamiko Jiichiro was a very outstanding and capable officer, he would have thought it was reasonable for him to feel deeply guilty and commit suicide out of fear of punishment after the warehouse he was responsible for guarding caught fire and all the supplies were burned.
However, an incompetent guy climbed to the position of captain of the Second Battalion of the Guard Room and became a major. Such a person naturally has strengths in other aspects except for his lack of military ability. Onodera Masago absolutely did not believe that such a person would be ashamed of being temporarily detained and would choose to die to apologize to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor.
And since Jiichiro Kamii can "commit suicide out of fear of punishment".
Then, Atsuto Kawada, who was involved in the investigation of the fire, might naturally be in danger.
As the son of the Kawada family, the importance of Atsuto Kawada's safety is unquestionable. In fact, to some extent, compared with Atsuto Kawada's safety, it doesn't matter whether a "small" warehouse fire case can be thoroughly investigated.
Therefore, it seemed very reasonable and there was nothing wrong with what Commander Ikeuchi said to him and ordered him to protect Atsuto Kawada.
However, Onodera Masago knew that since Master Atsuto asked this question, it must be for a purpose, which meant that the commander's words were not as ordinary as they seemed.
There must be something that he has not been able to figure out for the time being.
……
Atsuto Kawada did not urge him. He crossed his legs and smoked a cigarette slowly. His eyes were fixed on the winding decorations in the vase with appreciation and love in his eyes.
Onodera Masago frowned and thought. After thinking it over, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Junichiro Ikeuchi said.
Suddenly, his heart moved.
The commander ordered him to protect Atsuto Kawada's safety because of the importance of Master Atsuto. Compared with the warehouse fire case and Master Atsuto's safety, Kawada's safety is naturally more important.
This creates a contradictory situation. Since they are worried about Atsuto Kawada's safety, why do they arrange for Master Atsuto to join the investigation team?
Are they planning to arrange for Young Master Atsuto to join the investigation team to gain experience and share the credit?
This is to show goodwill to the Kawada family.
At the same time, he was worried about the danger that Kawada Atsuto might face. Although the possibility of the other party attacking a nominal noble young master was extremely low, he still had to be on guard.
Although others may not know the inside story of Onodera Masago's transfer from Qingdao to Shanghai, how could Junichiro Ikeuchi, the commander of the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters, not know it?
Obviously, he, a man who already had the background mark of the Kawada family on him, was the most suitable person to be assigned to protect Atsuto Kawada.
Onodera Changgo took a puff of his cigarette and thought, that should be it.
What the Commander meant should be that Atsuto Kawada should be able to share the credit easily while ensuring his safety.
"Your Excellency, the Commander, is confident that the warehouse fire case will be solved. You must have important evidence." Onodera Masago said to Kawada Atsuto, "Kawada-kun, with your ability, you will definitely stand out in this investigation."
Kawada Atsuto was slightly surprised, then he looked at Onodera Masago and said with a smile, "The credit belongs to everyone. I just did what I could."
Then he said to Onodera Masago, "The Commander asked me to meet with Miyazaki-kun. You and I will go to Cheng's house to visit him tomorrow."
"Hay."
In the office of the gendarmerie commander.
Ikeuchi Junichiro had a serious expression on his face and said to Mizuguchi Atsushi, "Mizuchi, keep an eye on Tsuchida Minetarou!"
"Hai!"
……
The next day.
After Song Fuguo hung up the phone, he looked around vigilantly, then adjusted his hat, opened his umbrella, and quickly left the telegraph office.
Song Fuguo really liked the sudden spring rain that came last night. Pedestrians on the street held up umbrellas, which made it easier for him to hide himself in the crowd.
Dai Ji held an umbrella and followed Officer Song from a distance.
The two of them returned to the Shuanglongfang Apartment one after the other.
"Boss, no one is following us." Dai Ji reported to Song Fuguo.
Song Fuguo nodded.
He was always extremely cautious in his actions. He walked to the windowsill naturally, pretended to stretch, then watched the rain outside the window. He looked outside naturally and did not find anything unusual. Only then did he feel relieved.
Turning his head and seeing Dai Ji's surprised expression, Song Fuguo said with a smile, "Sometimes, the more natural we are, the less likely we are to be suspicious."
Dai Ji nodded. He understood what Commander Song said, but he couldn't do it. He would only sneak to the window sill and carefully stick his head out to look outside. Only in this way would he feel safe.
Song Fuguo pulled out a box from under the bed, opened it, and took out a pistol.
This was the gun that Dai Ji brought back the night before. Song Fuguo was very cautious. He disassembled the gun, then checked it carefully before reassembling it to make sure that there were no problems with all the parts including the firing pin.
"Have you dealt with the body?" Song Fuguo asked Dai Ji casually.
"It's been cleaned up. Both bastards were thrown into the septic tank." Dai Ji said.
Song Fuguo nodded. Throwing the body into a septic tank was not the most perfect way to deal with it. After all, the body in the septic tank would be discovered sooner or later. However, this was not a perfect criminal case. Even if the body was discovered, it would have been some time since they had moved it.
"Let's go." Song Fuguo took off the safety of the pistol and put it into his briefcase.
Dai Ji packed his suitcase, carried the suitcase and followed behind Song Fuguo, pretending to be the host's follower.
……
Although it was a rainy day, the Longhua Temple was still very popular.
With their families and country broken and livelihood difficult, more and more people come to pray to gods and Buddhas.
The Japanese were ferocious and the people, seeing no hope of victory, placed more hope on the illusory gods.
Song Fuguo wore a spear and pretended to be an ordinary pilgrim. He burned incense respectfully and spent fifty cents to buy two bowls of vegetarian noodles.
"Concentrate on eating noodles." Song Fuguo glanced at Dai Ji.
"Boss, there are too many people here." Dai Ji said softly. He actually disagreed with Chief Song's choice to meet here. He felt that the meeting should be held in a secluded place, which could not only avoid the eyes and ears of others, but also facilitate timely detection of danger.
"The great hermit hides in the city." Song Fuguo said, "Eat noodles."
Dai Ji didn't quite agree with the saying "great hermits hide in the city", but since his superior insisted, he had no choice but to obey. He ate noodles with big mouthfuls while looking around vigilantly.
