Chapter 789 Something is wrong
Consulate.
Qiu Shan came to the personnel department's archives, showed his ID, and said to the administrator, "I am Qiu Shan Shili, a special investigator from the Special High Technology Department. I need to retrieve a personnel file. Here is the approval document!"
The administrator took a look at the certificate, took the approval document, looked at it, looked up and said, "Okay, please wait!"
After a while, the administrator brought a brown paper file bag and placed it on the table, saying to Qiu Shan Shili, "This is the file you requested, but you can only look at it here and cannot take it away!"
Qiu Shan nodded, opened the file bag, took out the information inside and started reading.
Ten minutes later, Akiyama finished reading the file records, but did not find anything unusual.
"Okay, I'll return the file to you, but you are not allowed to tell anyone about my visit to review the personnel files today. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences!" Akiyama handed the file over and warned the administrator.
The administrator took the file and quickly lowered his head and said, "Ha Yi!"
After leaving the consulate, Akiyama thought about it and decided to go to the International Settlement Police Department to talk to a few Japanese patrolmen and inspectors, and inquire about Ishida's situation to see if there was anything suspicious.
But he thought again, if the real Ishida was really dead, and the current Ishida was impersonating him, this person had been serving as deputy director of the International Settlement Police Department for more than two years. Such a long time was enough for him to build his own influence in the police department, consolidate his power, and win over the hearts of the people, especially those Japanese policemen and inspectors who were probably his die-hard fans now.
If we ask these people to inquire about Ishida's affairs, Ishida will probably soon find out that someone is investigating him, and things will become difficult to handle later.
Only now did Akiyama feel the invisible shackles and constraints he faced when investigating a senior official with real power. This was just a secret investigation. If the investigation were exposed and known by Ishida, one could imagine how much resistance he would encounter.
You have to know that the Special High Technology Bureau and Ishida are actually under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ishida's current position is also in different systems. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its own intelligence department, which is in competition with the system in which the Special High Technology Bureau is located, and they cannot pee in the same pot.
Moreover, Ishida is currently the deputy director of the Public Concession Police Department and an official under the Concession Municipal Council. It can be said that who he is and what he wants to do has nothing to do with your Special High Technology Bureau.
Before he knew it, Akiyama arrived outside the International Settlement Police Department.
He stood opposite the elder sister in front of the police station and thought for a while before deciding to go in and take a look.
He was carrying a briefcase and pretending to be at the police department on business. As he walked to the steps in front of the office building, he looked up and saw several people coming out of the building. The one walking in front was Deputy Director Ishida.
He thought for just two seconds before walking towards Ishita, when two bodyguards came over and stopped him.
Qiu Shanli quickly shouted to Zhang Yunhe: "Senior Ishida!"
Zhang Yunhe looked towards Qiu Shanshili, stopped, and asked, "Who are you?"
Akiyama Shirikyu quickly said, "Senior Ishida, I'm Akiyama Shirikyu from Mitsubishi Trading Co. I heard that you're from Gangya, and so am I. You should be studying at Gangya Junior High School, right? I also graduated from Gangya Junior High School. So, we're actually alumni!"
Zhang Yunhe was about to respond with a smile and nod, but suddenly remembered that the real Ishida had never attended Gangu Middle School, but attended middle school in Shizuoka. As an intelligence officer, how could he not investigate the real Ishida's situation? There was Ishida's file in the consulate archives, so he naturally sneaked in to check.
"Akiyama, right? So you're from Gangu too, and you even went to Gangu Junior High School. So we're from the same hometown, but I didn't go to Gangu Junior High School. After I graduated from elementary school, my family left Gangu for Shizuoka."
Akiyama Shiki's eyes flashed with disappointment after hearing this. He pretended to be surprised and embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Commander Ishida, I didn't know you were from Gangu but didn't go to Gangu Middle School!"
Zhang Yunhe waved his hand: "It's okay, what brings Qiu Shanjun to the police station?"
"Oh, my concession pass is about to expire. I'm here to renew it!" Akiyama Shili said quickly.
Zhang Yunhe pointed at a nearby patrolman and ordered, "Take Qiu Shanjun to handle the matter. Extend his sentence to the maximum possible term. Just say I said so!"
"Ha Yi!" The policeman agreed, and then said to Qiu Shanshi: "Qiu Shanjun, please follow me!"
Qiu Shanli immediately pretended to be grateful and bowed to Zhang Yunhe and said, "Thank you so much, Commander Ishida!"
Zhang Yunhe waved and left.
Akiyama followed the Japanese policeman into the office building, but he was wondering in his heart. Ishida's performance in the test just now was normal and there was nothing wrong. What Ishida said was the same as what was recorded in the file, but as a spy, he still felt that there was something wrong with Ishida, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After leaving the police department, Akiyama Shiki decided to contact the foreign patrolmen and police chiefs in the police department. These people probably would not be on the same page with Ishida, and would not be easily won over and regarded as confidants by Ishida.
After get off work, he followed two foreign police captains who were off duty, and followed them all the way until they entered an entertainment venue at night, and he followed them in.
As a secret agent, he has extensive experience in how to bridge the distance and build relationships with strangers, how to interact with people, and how to eliminate their vigilance and barriers in a short period of time.
In just one hour, Qiu Shan had established a relationship with the two foreign police chiefs like old friends and brothers. The two foreign police chiefs no longer had any guard against him. He asked about the Police Department and Zhang Yunhe in a roundabout way, and the two foreign police chiefs told him everything they knew.
Two days later in the morning, Akiyama Shigeki and Awahara returned to the Special High Technology Department to report the progress of the investigation to the action team leader Yamauchi Taiichi.
"The investigation into Ishida has been going on for two days. Tell us about your investigation. Akiyama, you speak first!" Yamauchi Taiichi looked at Akiyama's strength.
"Ha!" Awahara agreed and immediately began to report: "Ishida is 41 years old, from Gugang. He was formerly a senior inspector in the Metropolitan Police Department. Two years ago, he was transferred to Shanghai to serve as Deputy Director of the International Settlement Police Department. His affiliation was also transferred from the Metropolitan Police Department to the Consulate!"
"I went to the consulate to review his files and found nothing wrong. Taking advantage of the investigation, I deliberately approached Ishida once and deliberately misidentified the middle school he attended. He acted perfectly normal and didn't find anything wrong. But I always feel like there's something off about this guy, but I just can't put my finger on it!"
"Over the past two days, I've come into contact with several foreign police captains and officials from the International Settlement Police Department. I've gotten some information about Ishida from them indirectly. I've discovered that since taking office, Ishida has been away from home frequently, sometimes not coming to work for days at a time. His excuse to his colleagues and subordinates in the police department is that he's out on a mission or on official business."
"A while ago, the foreign inspector from the Police Department said he had asked for leave to attend a meeting in Jin City. He said he was attending a public security meeting held by the Public Security Bureau under the headquarters. Oh, and he didn't go to work at the Police Department two days ago. He said he was sick and went to see a doctor."
