Chapter 863 Takeo Okada
On the platform of Zhengyangmen Railway Station, Hiroshi Otsuki grabbed Okada Takeo's hand and shook it vigorously, and asked with a smile if the journey was going well.

"Mr. Okada, now that Xucheng is in the hands of the Chinese, how did you pass the inspection? I really hope that the Jinpu Railway can be opened as soon as possible, so that the transportation between North China and Central China will be much more convenient."

When he asked this question, he was not suspicious, but simply curious. In fact, after the Jinpu Railway resumed operation, many Japanese soldiers took the train directly from Jinling to Beiping.

The Guojun officers who were in charge of the inspection couldn't control their hands when facing the banknotes, even though they knew it was the Japanese who gave the money.

On the opposite side, Takeo Okada heard his question, shook hands lightly and then let go, shrugged his shoulders again, and gave an answer in a slightly frivolous tone.

"My identity is a little sensitive, in order to avoid being exposed, I can only take a naval frigate to Daocheng first, and then take a train from Zoucheng to Beiping.

As for whether the Jinpu Railway can be opened up, it depends on whether your army can wipe out the national army entrenched in Xucheng, and the Central China dispatch army is no longer able to go north.

After the battles of Songhu and Jinling, many regiments were almost disabled and were waiting for domestic recruits. The situation is not optimistic. Well, let's talk about business first. "

As he said that, he put down his luggage, took out a certificate from the outer pocket of his jacket and handed it over with both hands: "Dayue-jun, this is my certificate, according to the regulations, please check it."

"That's a shame."

Otsuki Hiroshi's expression straightened, this is a procedure that must be performed to prove his identity, he immediately took the handbook in a dignified manner, opened it, and checked it quickly.

Handicap, that is, the identity certificate of the Japanese army, including basic information such as the department, military department, place of origin, size of clothes, shoes and hats, unit number, military rank, name, date of birth, height, skills, and family residence.

It also records the personal service, retirement, reserve status and date, personal resume, studies, awards, good deeds, a series of military resumes, as well as the history of combat service and punishment. The content is very detailed.

Although no photos were posted, the certificate itself and the seal of the certifier have secret marks, making it difficult for outsiders to imitate, not to mention that there are so many records, who can guarantee that there will be no loopholes, so so far, no one has successfully forged the certificate.

After careful inspection, Otsuki Hiroshi found nothing wrong, smiled and handed back the certificate, ordered the special agent to take Okada Takeo's luggage, and raised his hand to invite him to get on the car.

"Dorzo (please)~"

"Arigado Kosaimas (thank you)."

The two gave way to each other and sat in the back of the car together. The car started to drive out of the station. Passengers and staff along the way avoided the Japanese flag in front of the car.

"Okada-kun, this is your first time in Beiping. I have prepared a luxurious room in the best central hotel in the area, and I will prepare some thin wine to welcome you. Please do me a favor."

In the car, Otsuki Hiroshi said with a smile. After finding out that the other party might also have a background in studying abroad, he decided to make friends with this young imperial lieutenant.

In Chinese words, a hero needs the help of three heroes to be successful. These poor people who are not from the imperial military academy should unite and report to the regiment to keep warm.

Okada Takeo didn't know what he was thinking, he hesitated for a moment after hearing the invitation, and tentatively asked: "This... I just came to Beiping, so I should go to pay a visit to His Excellency Commander Shouichi in the temple first.

Wouldn't it be impolite to go directly to the hotel like this, and I once heard that the best hotel in Beiping is the Liuguo Hotel, so I booked a room there before departure, which is really rude. "

As a result, Otsuki Hiroshi waved his hands contemptuously after hearing this, glanced at the driver and the secret agent in the front row, and then told him some inside information in heavily accented English.

"Mr. Okada, don't you think it's strange why you came to Beiping as a secret envoy of the Central China Dispatch Army, and the North China Front Army only sent me, a senior officer, to welcome you?

To tell you the truth, even I heard the news and decided to come to the station to meet you. This trip was not arranged by the headquarters at all. As for the reason, it is very simple.

The war started in North China, but it was you who gained the greatest benefits, not only occupying Shanghai, the largest city in East Asia, but also breaking through the capital of the Chinese people.

Many people think that you stole the military merit and glory that should belong to the North China Front Army, so even if you go to the headquarters, Commander Terauchi Shouichi will not see you. "

Otsuki talked about the twists and turns without reservation, then patted Takeo Okada on the shoulder, and persuaded with a tone of someone who has experienced it.

"Okay, don't worry about these things anymore, you and I who are aliens who have stayed abroad, it is difficult to enter the core of the army, it is better to enjoy life when you have this time.

But let’s forget about the Liuguo Hotel. There was a big robbery there that year, and many soldiers of the Empire~ died. It is said that some people saw some incomprehensible things.

In short, I will send someone to return the room, and you can stay at Central ~ Central Hotel with peace of mind. I heard that the most famous Kabuki in Tokyo is also staying there these days. "

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became unserious. It is obvious that this person, like Xu Enzeng, is the master of the groom every night.

"Nani? Yoshi~"

Okada Takeo blurted out his mother tongue, but thought that it would be inconvenient for others to hear these words, and immediately expressed to Otsuki Hiroshi in English that he could do whatever he wanted and obey the other party's arrangement.

The two looked at each other with a smile, and stopped the topic tacitly, and then discussed their respective study abroad careers. The cheerful atmosphere lasted until Da Yue said two words - Zuo Zhong.

Speaking of which, Otsuki Hiroshi's understanding of Zuo Zhong was based on archives and written materials. After all, the Secret Service was mainly active in Shanghai and the South some time ago.

The North China side has never dealt with the other party, so it can be regarded as only hearing his voice, but not seeing him. This time he saw a member of the Central China Dispatch Army's Secret Service Department who had fought with him, so he naturally wanted to ask.

Hearing his question, Takeo Okada thought for a moment, then switched to Japanese and said: "Please be careful Otsuki-kun, Zuo Zhong is a very terrible enemy.

During the Battle of Songhu, in order to destroy the Chinese command system in the urban area, we used many Cao Gang elements serving the empire and successfully bombed.

However, under the leadership of Zuo Zhong, the secret service counterattacked quickly, using our traps to set up an ambush, clearing and arresting two very important personnel of our side.

Also, not long ago, the army and the navy jointly organized a large-scale operation in order to raise funds, but it was also sabotaged by the other party, and His Excellency Shilong Kusumoto was killed as a result. "

"Was Nan originally killed by Zuo Zhong?"

Otsuki Hiroshi was shocked. Kusumoto Shitaka had served in North China for a long time. Before he was transferred to Shanghai, he had met the other party a few times. He heard that the other party was murdered, but he didn't expect it to be related to the Secret Service.

"Yes, what I want next is the top secret of the Central China Dispatch Army, please don't spread it to the outside world."

Okada Takeo gave a solemn instruction, Hiroshi Otsuki nodded quickly, and almost patted his chest to promise that he would never tell anyone, and the driver and spy in the front row also pricked up their ears.

"Well, we actually don't know until now how His Excellency Kusumoto and Yamamoto of the Naval Command died, and why they left the heavily guarded safe house."

Okada Takeo, who was guaranteed, said with a solemn expression: "I suspect that there is a Chinese mole with a very high status in the high-level dispatched army in Central China or within the empire.

It was he who lured Kusumoto and Yamamoto into a trap, and even directly participated in the murder. Unfortunately, there is no evidence, and the upper echelon does not allow us to investigate further, Baga! "

Otsuki Hiroshi was not surprised at all. The intelligence system has always been a double-edged sword. The higher-ups should not only use it, but also guard against it. You said that you want to check for moles. What if it is..., right?
It is correct not to allow it. If the Central China Dispatch Army allows intelligence personnel to investigate this matter, I am afraid that Tokyo will order to stop it the next day.

While speaking, the car arrived at the entrance of Central~Central Hotel. The group got out of the car and accompanied Takeo Okada to collect the room key, and ate and drank in the dining room.

In terms of public (separate) consumption, the Japanese are no weaker than the national elites, and all kinds of expensive dishes are served on the wine table as if they are free of money.

During the dinner, Otsuki mentioned that they were chasing Zuo Zhong's subordinates, and Okada Takeo immediately proposed to go to the scene to have a look, but did not mention to verify whether the battle plan was leaked.

After all, it's a luxury suite and a banquet, so it's a bit too unkind to talk about it now. Sometimes people are too serious and they will have no friends.

When Otsuki Hiroshi heard this, he smiled more sincerely, and immediately said that there was no problem, and that North China would fully cooperate with the other party.

So after being full of wine and food, everyone boarded the car again and headed to the south of Beiping City, because someone saw the Jia brothers haunting this place with their own eyes, and now it is surrounded by groups.

Japanese secret agents, military police, field troops, traitors, the army and police station of the puppet North China government, all gathered here with only one purpose - to catch Zuo Zhong!
At present, the entire Beiping City is under martial law, and there are people watching all the exits from the city. Once the two surnamed Jia are caught, Zuo Zhong, who is in charge of the behind-the-scenes command, will definitely be unable to escape.

………………

After passing through many tight encirclements, the car finally stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard. The second lieutenant of the gendarmerie in charge of the scene opened the car door and saluted Otsuki Hiroshi.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, a few hours ago, an eyeliner reported that there were suspicious activities in this building. It is certain that one of them may be a saboteur with the pseudonym Jia Jixiang.

After receiving the news, we immediately cut off the traffic within a radius of 500 meters, and at the same time sent people into the search, but no target was found, only some bloody bandages and a warhead were found. "

"Yoxi, very good, you go, I will take Okada Nakasa who came from Shanghai to have a look."

Otsuki Hiroshi nodded, enthusiastically led the way, and led Takeo Okada into the yard to a room, and a faint smell of blood and liquor flooded into his nostrils instantly.

Following the smell, the two came to a table, and saw an enamel jar and a lot of used bandages on the table.

Okada bent down and looked at it for a while in the dim sunlight, then took out a pen and picked up all the bandages for a closer look, raised his head and said seriously.

"The warhead is basically not deformed, and it can be determined that it did not hit bones or other objects. It should be a long-distance penetrating gunshot wound, and the blood loss is about 600 to 800 milliliters.

The remaining blood was very fresh, not the bright red color of arterial blood, but rather dark. If I read correctly, it was more likely to be non-fatal venous bleeding.

The wounded still have a certain ability to move. Da Yue-jun, I suggest that your people expand the area of ​​the blockade and search all the houses within one kilometer. It is best to use military dogs.

Moreover, this warhead is an 8×22mm Nambu pistol bullet, so it cannot be ruled out that it was fired by the pursuers. As for whether it is, you can call the operatives who fired the gun today to find out. "

"The kingdom of Sri Lanka is over! (Great)"

Otsuki Hiroshi raised his hands and clapped his hands, praising him non-stop. Xindao is worthy of being an intelligence expert of the Central China Dispatch Army, who can find so many clues in a short period of time with only one scene.

With the other party's help, they might really be able to catch that damned Zuo Zhong. When he thought of this, it was difficult for him to conceal the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help raising his lips.
