Chapter 1019 Who is the inner ghost
Shanghai.

The residence of the Special Committee on China is Chongguangtang.

In a Japanese room, Osasu Tongzhen and Hase Ryosuke sat facing each other. They drank tea quietly and neither of them spoke. After a long silence, Osasu Totsuzhen spoke first.

"Mr. Hase, you have heard about the Anqing attack not long ago. The navy said that they were attacked by unknown personnel. How credible do you think this incident is?"

Hase Ryosuke on the opposite side put a bisque teacup in front of his mouth, took a small sip, with a satisfied smile on his face, and then casually replied.

"The Intelligence Department of the Imperial Navy's Special Marine Corps in Shanghai conducted an investigation, and there was nothing suspicious about this matter. Some of the laborers of the Republic of China who were released and captured did indeed hear the sound of intense firefights.

There were many bullet marks on the gunboat returning to Anqing Pier No. [-]. Several sailors were killed and more than a dozen sailors were injured. Investigators also salvaged the remains of some imperial warriors.

In addition, some of the imperial citizens who witnessed the incident were soldiers in the countryside, and they also confirmed that the other side of the exchange of fire was using non-imperial equipment. This kind of thing cannot be faked.

After the incident, the investigation results of the scene and the surrounding area confirmed the confession and records of Ozawagawa, the commander of the Imperial Navy stationed in Anqing, that the attack was a fact. "

Saying that, Hase Ryosuke raised his head to look at Osasu Tongzhen, put the teacup gently on the table in his hand, and said a little mockingly.

"Why, is it possible that Your Excellency has doubts about the loyalty of the navy again? I need to remind you that the Special Committee on China is not the army's word┴.

The Navy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even the Civil Service have interests in it, and if you do this, you will cause yourself great trouble, and even risk your life.

The soldiers on the front line are not as easy-going as I am. Even if they are under house arrest, they are indifferent. If they are pushed into a hurry, these people will really kill people. "

In the face of ridicule and threats, Dasu Tongzhen did not change his face, still looking businesslike, and gave an explanation with a serious expression.

"Hase-kun, don't get me wrong, the arrests in Shanghai, Jinling and other places are the top secret of the empire, and internal surveillance is an order from Tokyo.

The repeated failures of the imperial intelligence system in the past prove that there is a non-citizen within us, and the escape of members of the upper Shanghai district also proves this. "

"idiot!"

Hase Ryosuke felt as if he had been insulted when he heard the words, he slammed the low table in front of him, put his hands on the edge of the table, and approached Osako Tongzhen with his head to question him viciously.

"Did you put me under house arrest in Tokyo's order to you? I have shed blood for the empire, and I have made meritorious service for the empire. You are persecuting a meritorious minister of the empire.

I want to report this matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the cabinet. The power given to you by His Majesty Tian Locust and the military is not a reason for you to eliminate dissidents, retaliate, or shirk responsibility.

Besides, you restricted ┴ my actions before the arrest operation, but in the end, the agents of the national government still escaped. Doesn’t this prove my innocence? "

"This"

Dasu Tongzhen didn't know what to say, and he was also very puzzled by this. Everyone who knew the specific deployment of the arrest operation was under surveillance, so it couldn't be the information leaked by himself.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Hase Ryosuke sneered. Although he didn't know how "Fat Tiger" knew the information, it didn't prevent him from pouring dirty water on Da Zong's head. Thinking of this, he felt strange.

"Your Majesty, I know that only the two of us are the ones who are deployed. Since I am not the one who betrayed the empire, who do you think the ghost is? I want to contact the mainland."

Hearing this, Dasu Tongzhen's face turned green, and he said in his heart that you should just report my name directly. It would be fine if Tokyo knew about this, and Hase must not be allowed to report to the mainland.

But no matter what the other party said, he was also a director of the agency, and there were also people under him. If this guy was cornered, he couldn't be stopped. He couldn't kill people to silence him. It seemed that he had to use another method.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Osasu Tongzhen pretended not to hear Hase's words, took out a dossier and pushed it to Hase Ryosuke, speaking in a dignified tone.

"The matter of the inner ghost has been taken over by the gendarmerie of the military department, so you and I don't have to worry about it, no matter who it is, as long as they betray the empire, they will have to pay a painful price.

Hase-kun, first look at the files of the Anqing incident. If things are really as recorded by the navy, this time we will face an extremely difficult opponent.

The other party dared to launch such a large-scale attack on Changjiang, openly killing dozens of imperial warriors and citizens┴, judging from the style of their actions, it should be the actions of the military commander.

Based on the cases in recent years, I think that the person in charge of this operation is likely to be Zuo Zhong, the deputy director general of the Military Command. This person is brutal and sophisticated, and has repeatedly sabotaged the empire's operations.

You should know him very well. Before the war, only your super-high class was able to successfully lurk in Jinling. Although the loss of personnel was not small, it was not easy.

It's a pity that this person is very cautious. At present, we only know that he is from Ningbo, born in the third year of the Republic of China, and graduated from the Police Academy in Zhejiang Province. We don't know anything about him. "

"Nani? Zuo Zhong?"

Ryosuke Hase felt guilty, but he was an old ghost after all. He opened the file solemnly and checked it quickly.

As a partner, he certainly knew Zuo Zhong very well. Looking at the case file, this attack was indeed in line with Zuo Zhong's style.

One click away.

Never fight.

More importantly, no one is left alive. In the past, "Fat Tiger" has always been like this. Hundreds of imperial intelligence personnel died at the hands of the opponent.

After thinking quickly for a while, Hase Ryosuke closed the file, also showing a dignified expression, and after pondering for a moment, he looked at Dasa Tongzhen.

"Director of the Great Force, what you said is right. It really looks like what Zuo Zhong did. The other party may have come for Chen Mingchu and Zheng Shisong. Your plan has succeeded.

I think that after rescuing Cai Shengchu, Zuo Zhong's next destination should be Shanghai. We must be vigilant, the destructive power of this person should not be underestimated. "

With a smile in Dasu Tongzhen's eyes, he preferentially treated Zheng Shisong, the deputy head of Shanghai District. It was his plan to use countermeasures. He originally wanted to destroy the relationship between Zheng Shisong and Shancheng and let the other side serve the empire. The heavy fish was caught.

If Zuo Zhong can be captured, it will be the highest honor in his career, and he may be able to take this opportunity to be transferred back to the General Staff Headquarters. Although the Republic of China is good, he has had enough.

Not only do you have to bear tremendous pressure every day, but you also have to fight with the underground party, the government, the British, and the Americans. Let younger people take care of these things.

He nodded with a smile, got up, walked to the window and pushed it open, looked outside for a while with his hands behind his back, then raised his finger and pointed to the city beyond the wall and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zhang Gu, what you said just now is correct, Zuo Zhong may have arrived, and is hiding somewhere waiting for the opportunity, ready to bite us hard.

I think it is necessary for us to screen people who have recently come to Shanghai, and I mean everyone, including imperial┴military, government┴staff.

Since that inner ghost can leak information and provide Zuo Zhong with legal documents, we must learn from Shancheng and not let any suspicious person go.

Regardless of whether it is the mainland, the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the occupied areas, Southeast Asia, or those who come from pseudo-mite, they must investigate, except for European and American countries, and the empire cannot turn against each other.

It is also impossible for Zuo Zhong to detour so far, the journey across the ocean takes more than a month, and the military command wants to calm down the situation quickly, so there is not so much time to waste.

In order to ensure that there are no dead ends, Mr. Hase, please contact the public concession and the French concession and ask them to transfer the recent household registration records in their jurisdiction to No. 76.

The Cao Gang has a large number of people in Shanghai. With the help of the people from the Republic of China on No. 76, we can find the target from the people from Shanghai as quickly as possible, please. "

After finishing speaking, Osako Tongzhen turned around and looked at Hase Ryosuke, wanting to hear the other party's opinion, or to put it another test, in his eyes no one is trustworthy.

Damn guy!
Hase Ryosuke cursed inwardly, this bastard actually wants to screen all the people who come to Shanghai, if "Fat Tiger" is unfortunately arrested, then he will not escape.

However, the reason for the forced Tongzhen is very good, and there is no problem with the deployment. It is useless to oppose it. As the assistant officer of the Special Committee on China, he can only agree.

Resisting the urge to kill the opponent with a single shot, Chang Gu pretended to clap his hands and said something, giving an affirmative answer.

"Your Majesty Da Zong is right. If Zuo Zhong is really in Shanghai, he will definitely be able to find him starting from the space trajectory. I will immediately contact the concession and ask them to cooperate with the actions of the locust army."

Now, all he can do is to agree first, and then find a way to notify "Fat Tiger".

This time the other party was really careless, the military commander really shouldn't have made such a big commotion in Anqing to attract the attention of the Special Committee on China.

For Hase Ryosuke's answer, Osuke Tosada seemed very satisfied, and the attitude of the conversation became more and more cordial. After explaining the details of the screening, he turned to another arrangement.

——While screening people coming to Shanghai on a large scale, let No. 76 take Chen Mingchu and Zheng Shisong out.

For these two people, the military command must hate them deeply, and if they want to deal with them quickly, they are likely to impose sanctions. This is the opportunity for the Special Committee on China.

Hase Ryosuke still has no reason to object after hearing this. Now that he knows that the target may come to Shanghai, fishing is the most basic means of coping and handling.

Besides, he was not worried that "Fat Tiger" would be fooled, the other party was a very cautious person, so such a low-level trap would not be invisible.

After discussing the business, Osako Tongzhen chatted a few words casually and asked Hase Ryosuke to be sent out, and then called a subordinate to give some instructions in a low voice.

As the person in charge of an intelligence agency, Osako Tongzhen has always felt that being suspicious is a good habit, so until the suspicion is completely eliminated, Osako Totsuzhen does not intend to stop monitoring Hase Ryosuke.

If the other party has a problem, the wealth obtained through smuggling will be changed to another owner. If there is no problem, then create a problem. After all, returning to the mainland to work also needs money.

He seemed to understand.

No money, no power, nothing.

Just like Hei Teng, the student he accepted in North China, he was dispatched to the county town after saying a few extra words at the big man's engagement banquet.

Zuo Zhong didn't know about the plan to force Tongzhen. In order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, he didn't even have contact with Cai Shengchu. Unexpectedly, the devils saw the clues in his behavior.

This is normal, Japanese intelligence personnel are not fools┴, if Osako Tongzhen did not have two skills, it is impossible to be the person in charge of the Aoki Mansion, let alone the head of the Special Committee on China.

But the devil is one foot tall, and the Tao is one foot tall.

Although Zuo Zhong couldn't predict the future, he knew the Japanese and the cunning of the devil's spies. Naturally, he couldn't foolishly throw himself into the trap, and he had already taken precautions.

On the Pacific Ocean, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Shanghai, Zuo Zhong was lying on a deck chair on the cruise ship sunbathing, holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice in his hand, and took a deep sip.

And with a curly hair wig on his head, the dark-skinned Gui Youguang stood aside with a black face, with a white towel on his wrist, he looked like a native servant.
