Chapter 568 Witness
As the saying goes, sex is a steel knife that scrapes bones, and alcohol is a poison that pierces intestines. After following Ryosuke Hase for three days, Takashi Ikuta, who was holding his waist and pale, realized the profound meaning of this sentence.

"idiot."

He leaned back on the chair and cursed, these days he spent a lot of money just spending a lot of money with the other party, and didn't investigate any important clues, if this continues, the funds should be used up.

Don't damn Hase Ryosuke know what fatigue is? This kind of luxurious life can't be tolerated even by imperial warriors, but this person can come to the consulate the next day as if nothing happened.

Takashi Ikuta seemed to think of the four characters of talent and talent, and his face became even more ugly. At this time, the last ray of sunset shone on the wall clock through the window, and the hour hand turned to the word 6 with a click.

It's time to get off work again.

He took a deep breath, stood up on the chair, for the sake of the empire and the locust, no matter how hard it was, it was worth it, then he patted his trembling legs, and resolutely walked out of the office.

But today's situation is a bit different. Hase Ryosuke did not act with other people, but left the consulate in Shanghai alone, and drove quickly in the direction away from Hongkou.

And along the way, he changed the route many times, turned around, stopped, and performed standard anti-tracking actions. It is not surprising that a super high-level section leader would do this. Safety must be ensured when meeting offline personnel.

Takashi Ikuta was a little disappointed when he found out that he didn't go to the nightclub. At the same time, he was ecstatic in his heart. Ryosuke Hase finally moved, maybe it has something to do with the source of funds.

He followed the other party carefully to the door of a coffee shop, then parked the car on the side of the road, looked around to make sure there was nothing abnormal, and took out the binoculars to observe the movement on the other side.

dozens of meters away.

Hase Ryosuke stepped into the store, waved to John Kaiziwei, the person in charge of the special department of the public concession who had been waiting for a long time, strode to the other party and sat down, and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, John."

"Hello, Changgu."

John Kaiwei said hello, looked up at him and said, "Why did you tell me to meet urgently, we should try to avoid meeting in public places, it is too dangerous to do so.

The situation in Shanghai has been very turbulent recently. The underground party and the Guo party have killed many people. Shi was almost killed. Even my Indian patrolmen were killed by the Chinese two, no, three.

I'm afraid that these bastards will go crazy and point the finger at the intelligence alliance. I'll use the phone to communicate in the future. At least in the public concession, our communication will not be monitored by anyone. "

"Including the special department?"

Hase Ryosuke ordered a cup of coffee, and after the waiter left, he asked a question. The members of the intelligence alliance knew that without the support of a big country, the intelligence alliance's business would not be able to do business.

The other party said that no one can monitor them, so just listen to it as a joke. He is sure that the Special Department of the Concession must have a large room filled with recordings of everyone's intelligence transactions.

But no one is a vegetarian, Joshua from France, Shi Zhenmei from Secret Service Headquarters, including herself also has recordings, if the British turn their faces and deny people, then everyone will go to hell together.

After saying this, without waiting for John Kaiwei to explain, he said with a serious expression: "Just kidding, I came here to arrest and kill you, and my downline found some clues.

The murderer who killed the patrolman was probably not the secret agent of the Secret Service Headquarters mentioned in the newspaper. This matter is related to one of my colleagues. "

Speaking of this, Hase Ryosuke resolutely closed his mouth, took a sip of the coffee handed by the waiter, and glanced at a certain car under the streetlight outside the window, the faint reflection of the lens flashed past.

waste.

Even newcomers to the special high school who have just joined the job know that when performing surveillance tasks in the dark, they cannot stay in places with higher ambient brightness for a long time, which can easily lead to personnel exposure.

One is that the human eye will automatically focus on bright places, the other is that the light is bright and easy for the enemy to observe, and the third is that objects on clothes or observation equipment will emit light, such as buttons and pens.

It was the first time he had seen such a clumsy surveillance method, and he really should let the fat-minded guys above take a look, this is the best candidate for the Deputy Minister of Intelligence they have selected.

After thinking about it, Hase Ryosuke got up and went to the next table to get a candy box, and then leaned slightly towards the aisle when he sat down, guiding John Kaiwei on the opposite side of the table to look at him to prevent him from looking outside.

On the other side, John Kaiziwei's face did not change when he heard that the murderer might be a Japanese. It didn't matter who the murderer was, the important thing was who the murderer needed in the concession.

Compared with Japan, the national government is obviously weaker and easier to deal with. In addition, the Elizabeth Hospital firefight involving Shi Zhenmei, which cannot be investigated publicly, is most suitable for the fruit party to take the blame.

So he replied lightly: "Then I would like to trouble Mr. Hase to introduce the witness. If it is confirmed that the murderer is a member of the consulate, it is good for your two countries to reach an agreement in private, and there is no need to make it public.

Due to some unexplainable reasons, the London side needs us to give the Republic of China government a warning. The best reason is that the police were killed this time. This is a good thing for everyone, isn't it? "

"of course."

Hase Ryosuke raised his coffee cup and nodded in agreement, and said: "The witness will come soon, John, the other party is related to the important plan of the special high school, if it is not necessary, don't do it.

Once this person has an accident, I can't explain it to the consulate and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You don't want to lose a good business partner. I will wait at the door for your private communication.

Please rest assured that I will let him keep his mouth shut. The truth will never be known. Maybe the British Empire and the Great Japanese Empire have the opportunity to cooperate and put pressure on the Nationalist Government together. "

John Kaiwick did not hesitate, and replied happily: "My friend, thank you for the information you provided, I will never cause you any trouble, I swear in the name of the Kaiziwei family.

After the meeting, you can leave directly with the witness, and the reward will be deposited into your secret account at Citibank before tomorrow night. If you have such information in the future, please make sure to trade with us first. "

Hearing the money, Hase Ryosuke showed a smile on his stern face: "It depends on the specific remuneration, you know, the money does not belong to me alone, I must satisfy everyone."

"no problem."

John Kaiwick shrugged his shoulders indifferently. The Intelligence Alliance gathered for money, and had nothing to do with doctrine or belief. Since it was selling things, it was reasonable to sell them at a good price.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while and exchanged some basic information to prevent everyone from flooding the Dragon King Temple and causing unnecessary losses. This is a normal thing in the international intelligence community.

"Ding bell~"

After more than half an hour, the door of the coffee shop was opened, and the copper bell on the door made a crisp sound, and a middle-aged man wearing a hat and scarf walked in from the door.

When Hase Ryosuke saw the person coming, he immediately raised his hand to beckon, and then turned his head to John Kaiwei and said: "The witness is here, I will go to the door to smoke a cigarette first, if you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible. "

He drank the coffee in one gulp, took out a few banknotes and put them under the cup, stood up and walked outside. When passing by the middle-aged man, the two secretly exchanged a wink.

John Kaiwei noticed this scene and knew that the Japanese were not at ease with him. The corners of his mouth raised and he smiled slightly, then he carefully looked at the witnesses who had already sat down and asked.

"Hi, what's your name?"

"Just call me Laodou."

Wrapped in a scarf, the middle-aged man replied in a low voice. He could hear a foreign accent. This is very common in Shanghai. The broker does not have to be a local, as long as he is well-informed.

This person was slightly obese, wearing a half-worn Chinese-style robe, the small eyes under the brim of the hat scanned the store, and his hands on the table were tightly clasped together, looking very nervous.

"Relax, Mr. Bean."

Seeing this, John Kaiwei calmed down the other party, ordered a cup of coffee for him, and then talked about business: "Mr. Hase said that you know who the murderer who killed the policeman is, do you have any evidence?

Since it happened, countless people have called the police station, claiming to have infallible information, but according to our investigation, none of these information is valid. "

Faced with doubts, Lao Dou was in a hurry: "I am not your policeman, so where is the evidence? That night, I returned to my home in the French Concession from my study apartment, and when I walked to that alley, I noticed that someone was fighting.

So I hid in a corner and waited and saw that one person killed the policeman with a few movements. It happened to be moonlight at that time, and I found out that the person was Takaki Ikuta, an official from the Japanese Consulate that I had met once. "

Takashi Ikuta?

John Kaiwei frowned. Isn't this the opponent who competed with Hase Ryosuke for the deputy director of the intelligence department? Could it be that that guy wants to use his own hands to eradicate political enemies, which is a bit too much.

His expression gradually turned cold, and he crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "Mr. Dou, did someone tell you to tell me like this, I advise you not to waste any more time, please go, I don't welcome you here."

"Let me put it that way?"

Old Dou was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, his eyes were full of confusion: "Mr. Kaiziwei, no one asked me to say this, I did see the other party with my own eyes, and Takashi Ikuta was carrying a long suitcase at that time.

After killing the man, he took the box and left the scene quickly. I reported to Section Chief Hase immediately when I got home. Section Chief Hase told me not to act rashly until he notified me to come here today. "

Long suitcase.

John Kaiwei's eyes lit up, and the patrol room extracted two rifle warheads from the car outside the Elizabeth Hospital. After identification, it was confirmed that they were Japanese-specific Arisaka-type rifle bullets.

This news is currently top-secret, and it is impossible for the outside world to know it. From this point of view, the old Dou's words are very credible. There may be a rifle in the suitcase. The murderer is really Takashi Ikuta?

　Straighten it out, it will be back to normal tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There will be different spy stories in 2 and 35. I dare not say it is wonderful, but it seems that no one has written it yet.
