Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 698 No Watertight Action IV
In the mountain area near Kofu, a group of people disassembled another lead-acid battery and took out what was hidden inside, and then drove to the vicinity of Lake Kawaguchi. At night, several people pushed the car into the lake.

"The eight people are divided into three groups and return to Heichuan by train and car." Qian Xiaobao ordered.

Two days later, Xiao Linxun saw Qian Xiaobao who had rushed back in Heichuan.She was surprised to find that Qian Xiaobao was exhausted but energetic!

The day before Qian Xiaobao came back, Second Lieutenant Abe and Cao Chang Kawakami had already rushed back.

Tens of thousands of pounds were found in the second lead-acid battery as well as a large amount of gold jewellery.This is not surprising, Singapore is a colony of the United Kingdom, using the British pound.

"This time, each of us will share [-] yen. Have you thought about what to do with the money?" Qian Xiaobao asked the seven people who were also soaking in the hot spring water.

The seven people didn't know how to answer for a moment, and suddenly lost their status as soldiers, and they suddenly found that they knew nothing.

"Aren't the Americans reorganizing the police force? You have to go back to your hometown and see if you can think of a way from this." Qian Xiaobao suggested.

After all, it is easier to change from a soldier to a police officer.

"You can spend money when necessary. I will reward anyone who becomes a policeman with [-] yen!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"I'll go back to Yokohama to find a way." Second Lieutenant Abe said.

Others also expressed that they wanted to go back and find a way. It is not difficult to become a policeman with [-] yen as a stepping stone.

"Hasegawa can stay here. I plan to open a car repair shop in Heichuan, and I'll leave it to you to take care of it." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Also, these things have to be disposed of on the black market immediately. The Kwantung Army Intelligence Department's list is divided into eight, and each person takes the money to visit some of the family members. The money should be enough for a few hundred yen per family." Qian Xiaobao Said.

"Gold, silver and U.S. dollars are easy to handle, but the British pound is more difficult." Second Lieutenant Abe said.

"Okay, I'll figure out a solution for the pound." Qian Xiaobao said.

As everywhere, rich people like to hoard gold and silver and valuable currency when the economy is depressed.Now in Japan, the yen is depreciating day by day, and the dollar and gold bars are also in demand.It's just that the pound is held in hand and cannot be spent, so it is more difficult to exchange.

Kondo, who was put into the bag, began to struggle only after hearing the sound of the car starting. Qian Xiaobao and the others did not tie their hands and feet, as long as they dared to struggle and get out of it, they would shoot immediately.

It took a lot of effort for Mr. Kondo to break the bag and get out, and then released his wife and children.

After these things were done, he walked around the entire villa, especially looking at the wooden boards that had been pried open, and then went out to the shelter.

After a while, Colonel Kondo came back with an ugly face.

"Those two batteries are missing," Kondo said to his wife.

He now has almost nothing but this villa.

"Do you want to call the police?" asked the wife.

Kondo smiled wryly and shook his head. There are a lot of robberies, thefts and even murders happening every day in Japan. Most people have no money in their pockets and no food in their stomachs. This is how society is.

Finding the police was of no avail, not to mention the sources of his belongings could not be identified at all.

But Colonel Kondo still picked up the phone.

"Find Nao Tsuchiya for me, just say I am Yoshio Kondo, find him and ask him to come to me immediately." Kondo Colonel said into the microphone.

Tsuchiya Naojiro arrived here two hours later, and he came under an umbrella. If it wasn't for the fact that Kondo was his officer when he was in Singapore, he would never have come.

It's just that General Kondo made a fortune by blackmailing the Chinese in Singapore. He hasn't been with these old subordinates for so long. Why did he suddenly ask him today?
As soon as Tsuchiya Naojiro entered the villa, he found something unusual, the room was very messy.

"You see, my house was just visited by gangsters. I lost a lot of things, and the car was driven away by them." Kondo Dazuo said.

Osa Kondo looked depressed, even when he heard that Japan had surrendered.

"Do you know who did it?" Tsuchiya Naojiro asked.

He immediately realized that he had asked a nonsense question and quickly added: "I'm asking to see if they look like gangsters or ordinary gangsters?"

Colonel Kondo did not speak. He brought Tsuchiya Naojiro to the door of the study and said, "Look at the doorknob. He stood at the door and raised his hand and shot the doorknob, which broke the doorknob. I was about to open the door to get the gun."

"This means that he didn't intend to kill you." Tsuchiya Naojiro said.

Colonel Kondo nodded and pointed to the dog on the ground and said, "It was also shot to death. I didn't dare to move when I saw him holding the gun."

"A lot of soldiers came back, most of them have no food to eat, it's probably because of them." Tsuchiya Naojiro said keenly.

"I think so too, but based on my experience, they are definitely not ordinary soldiers!" Said Colonel Kondo.

The two walked back to the living room. Colonel Kondo pointed to the empty plates on the dining table and said, "Look, these people ate all the steaks. From the sounds, I feel that they are very good at using knives and forks!"

Tsuchiya Naojiro felt uncomfortable from the moment he entered the villa, and now he was even more uncomfortable hearing what Kondo said.

The bastard Kondo lived in a villa and drove a car and ate steaks, and he was almost out of food now.

"Nao Tsuchiya, when you were in Singapore, you were doing intelligence work. I don't want to rely on those policemen, I will rely on you. Help me find those people, and I will give you half of the things I find back!" Said Colonel Kondo.

Kondo's last words touched Tsuchiya Naojiro's heart.

"Can you make a list of the things that were stolen, I'll go to the black market and ask." Tsuchiya Naojiro said.

"Not to mention money, there are also some Chinese-style gold and silver jewelry." Kondo said.

"Okay, I'll investigate right away," Tsuchiya Naojiro said.

Tsuchiya Naojiro checked carefully at Kondo's house for a while, then said goodbye and walked out of the villa.

Looking carefully at some details, now Naojiro Tsuchiya also agrees with Colonel Kondo, the person who did this is definitely not an ordinary gangster.

He returned to central Tokyo and walked straight to the charred vacant lot of Shimomachi.American planes threw incendiary bombs and burned this place into a vacant lot. Now many people live here in herringbone-shaped shacks built with wooden boards.

Tsuchiya Naojiro walked to a shack with ease, he lifted the curtain, and an old man was holding a child inside, shivering with cold.

"Where did Kawakami go?" Tsuchiya Naojiro asked.

"He has been away from home for several days, and I heard that he went to visit friends." The old man replied.

"When he comes back and tell him that Tsuchiya Nao has been here, I hope he can find me at the Koganei Fire Department." Tsuchiya Naojiro said.
