Chapter 264 Somekawa Kazuo

the next day.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Special Agent Department meeting room.

The heads of each department were all present.

Gao Kejian looked around at everyone and said, "The higher-ups attach great importance to the Shibu Village incident. According to the latest instructions from Provincial Governor Wei, all parties must work together to solve the case as soon as possible and bring the perpetrators to justice!"

Section Chief Li said: "We just got the news that the military police shot and killed two gangsters during a pursuit last night. After identification, it was found that they were not the murderers themselves, but the ones who were responsible for covering up."

Qi Yue said: "I think the Shibu Village incident is not like the work of ordinary bandits. Judging from the feedback we have received, ordinary bandits would not be so orderly. It is likely that they are a resistance organization, but I don't know which side they are from."

Gao Kejian said: "Deputy Captain Qi's analysis is correct. The Communist Party's execution order was found at the scene. Of course, the truth of the matter still needs to be further confirmed, but one thing is certain, this incident is a retaliatory response by the resistance organization against the punitive operation!"

As he spoke, he took the envelope beside him and poured out a stack of photos from it: "These photos were taken by Captain Ning at the crime scene yesterday afternoon. Everyone, take a look and see if you can find any valuable clues from them."

The photos contain a wide variety of content, including footprints, bullet casings, wheel marks, execution notices, etc., including Akiyama Shun's dirty amulet.

The photo was passed around.

Gao Kejian continued, "This morning, the military vehicle that the criminals drove when they escaped was found outside the east wall of the Xiangfang District Xiehe Youth Association. Preliminary judgment is that it should have been stolen..."

At this time, the photo was passed to Akiyama Yumi. When she saw the name on the amulet, her face changed. She slowly stood up, trying her best to hide her emotional fluctuations, and slowly said, "Chief Gao, what's the matter with this amulet?"

Gao Kejian said: "This is used by the criminals to disguise their identities. The Security Bureau is coordinating with the Kwantung Army Military Police to verify the situation of Akiyama Jun."

"I'd like to see the amulet."

"All the evidence is in the Security Bureau. We only have photos. I think this Akiyama Jun is in great danger. Think about it, the amulet was taken away by someone. Someone must have killed him to silence him... Squad Leader Akiyama, what's wrong with you?"

Akiyama Yumi took a deep breath and said, "Akiyama Jun is my brother."

The meeting room was silent.

Gao Kejian was stunned for a moment: "When I saw this name, I thought that Qiu Shanjun just happened to have the same surname as you, but I didn't expect that he was your brother... Well, I was just guessing just now. The case is still under investigation, and anything is possible."

Section Chief Li said, "Captain Qiushan, Chief Gao is right. Anything is possible. For example, what if your brother lost the amulet and it happened to be picked up by the gangsters?"

Akiyama Yumi shook her head: "Impossible. My brother's amulet never leaves his body."

Another police lieutenant said: "It is also possible that it is forged. We have encountered similar situations in previous cases."

Akiyama Yumi bowed slightly and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I just lost my composure. Chief Gao, I want to ask for leave and go to the Security Bureau. My brother's amulet was sewed by me. I can tell the authenticity of it just by looking at the real thing."

Gao Kejian said hurriedly: "Section Chief Li, call the driver team immediately and send a car to take Squad Leader Qiu Shan to the Security Bureau. Also, notify the Investigation Division of the Security Bureau in my name and tell them that Squad Leader Qiu Shan has been ordered to investigate the case. Please cooperate."

"Yes."

Section Chief Li stood up.

Yumi Akiyama hurried out of the meeting room, and Section Chief Li followed her out.

Qi Yue was sitting right in front of the door to the conference room. The moment the door closed, he saw a strange scene through the reflection of the glass: Section Chief Li's hand was naturally placed on Akiyama Yumi's shoulder, as if to comfort her, but then the hand was shaken away, and the two walked away one after the other.

In today's era, such behavior between men and women generally indicates a very close relationship, such as husband and wife, brothers and sisters.

...after the meeting.

Gao Kejian was about to leave.

A police officer walked in quickly and handed over a folder: "Chief Gao, this is Guan Dazhi's blood test report."

The blood test report listed a bunch of numerical values. Turning to the last page, there was only one conclusion: After blood test analysis, the deceased Guan Dazhi did not meet the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Gao Kejian said to the police officer: "Captain Ning just left, go and call him back."

"Yes!"

The police officer backed out.

After a while, Ning Zhiyuan hurried in: "Chief, are you looking for me?"

"You take a look at this first."

Gao Kejian threw the report over.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Gao Kejian sighed: "I'm so busy every day, there's no time to rest... Come in!"

As the door opened, a man about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, of medium build and thin, with a sinister look walked in. This man was dressed very strangely, with an iron-gray Zhongshan suit inside and a Kwantung Army standard woolen coat outside.

Gao Kejian asked: "Who are you looking for?"

The man looked at the two of them and asked politely, "Excuse me, which one is Section Chief Gao?"

Gao Kejian said: "That's me."

The man took off his coat, put it on a chair beside him, put his feet together, and saluted formally: "The new deputy chief of the Special Agents Department, Somekawa Kazuo, specially came to report to Chief Gao!"

Gao Kejian's surprise was fleeting, and he stood up with a smile: "Welcome, welcome. Deputy Section Chief Ranchuan, I knew you were coming, but I didn't know which day. If you had called in advance, I could have sent a car to pick you up at the train station."

Somekawa Kazuo smiled and said, "Don't bother. The tram in Binjiang is very convenient and the fare is cheap. Most importantly, you don't have to change trains. It will take you directly to the entrance of the police station."

"Did you come here by tram?"

"Yes."

"Why bother? Although the police department is short of funds, it is not necessary to let the new deputy chief take the train to report just to save a few dollars."

Somekawa Kazuo was silent for a moment: "When I was the captain of the special attack team, after each target practice, the shells had to be collected. When a certain amount was accumulated, they were sent to the arsenal to be refilled with gunpowder. This way, the cost can be greatly reduced."

Gao Kejian nodded approvingly and said to Ning Zhiyuan, "Did you hear that? This is what we call a role model! Deputy Section Chief Ranchuan's spirit of diligence and thrift is worthy of learning for everyone in the Police Department!"

Somekawa Kazuo said: "In fact, it's not just me. Most of the Imperial Army troops on the battlefield will do this as long as conditions permit. Of course, there is nothing we can do about it. Japan is short of supplies and must make long-term plans!"

Gao Kejian said, "You are right. We should make long-term plans. Um, I have arranged for someone to decorate your deputy section chief's office. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."

Somekawa Kazuo stood still and glanced at the blood test report on the table: "Are you two discussing the case? If it's convenient, I, a newcomer, would also like to listen."
