Chapter 445 444. Yang Denghuan is such a jerk!
Although Ding San said that going to the gendarmerie was like going home, his legs still trembled a little when he stood at the door and looked at the gleaming bayonet of the Type 38 rifle in the hands of the bucktoothed sentry.

After all, I didn’t have a pass, so I had to explain my situation to the sentry every time I entered or exited.

All the soldiers in the world are evil, no matter where they are. It's too tiring to explain the situation to these soldiers!
The Japanese soldiers were even more evil. This didn't seem to need much explanation, as everyone in Beijing knew it.

But I have to talk to the sentry, otherwise how can I get in?

Ding San had no choice but to walk towards the bucktoothed sentry step by step.

"Mr. Ding! Why are you here just now? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Before Ding San could speak, Xiong Yongzhaozhong's big round head suddenly popped out of the watchtower and said happily.

Xiong Yongzhao's Chinese was very poor and he spoke haltingly, but his face was full of enthusiasm, which touched Ding San deeply.

In just one day, Xiong Yongzhao thought so highly of him. What did he rely on? Of course, it was his own personality charm!

Every profession has its own expertise, and my superb professional ability finally won the recognition of Xiong Yongzhao!

"Mr. Xiong Yong, have you been waiting for me here?" Ding San spoke slowly, trying to imitate the Japanese way of speaking.

It is definitely too late to learn Japanese, but if I can make the tone more similar, I think the Japanese will be able to understand it.

"Of course! I've been waiting for you here early this morning! Why are you here just now?" Xiong Yongzhaozhong jumped out of the guardhouse with a loud thud, reached out and grabbed Ding San's arm, shaking it, and spoke in half Chinese and half Japanese.

"This is my friend, Officer Ding San from the Special Branch of the police station. He has come to our gendarmerie to solve a case. You must cooperate!" Xiong Yongzhao first said it stutteringly in Chinese, and then he said it again in Japanese.

Obviously, Xiong Yongzhao said this again in Chinese just for Ding San to hear it.

Sure enough, the expression on Ding San's face was as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit. He thought it would be great if Zhou Ming saw this situation! This kid actually failed at the critical moment and ran to have diarrhea, missing his chance to show off!

The sentry looked solemn. He glanced at Ding San, bowed and said "hi", and his expression became very respectful.

"Let's go, let's go quickly! Let's go in and discuss tonight's action." Xiong Yongzhao pulled Ding San into the gendarmerie and said in a low voice.

"Yeah..." Ding San agreed casually at first, then was stunned again. He turned his head with some doubts to look at Xiong Yongzhaozhong who looked quite proud, and asked in confusion: "Is there any action tonight? What action?"

Xiong Yongzhaozhong stopped and stared at Ding San. Ding San was uneasy because of his gaze. Just as he was about to ask a question, Xiong Yongzhaozhong spoke first: "Officer Ding, I think the direction of our investigation yesterday was correct! Longfu Temple should be the focus of our investigation!"

Ding San was overjoyed after hearing this and said excitedly, "Do you also think my investigation is correct? Is this a premeditated murder against Inagaki Nakayoshi?"

Xiong Yongzhaozhong waved his hands and said, "No, no, no! That's not what I meant. Everything is unclear now, and it's impossible to talk about the motive for the murder! But my intuition tells me that Longfu Temple is very important! As long as we grasp the clue of Longfu Temple, we will be able to find out the truth!"

Ding San was not stupid. After hearing Xiong Yongzhaozhong's blunt words, how could he not understand? This kid was so excited, could it be for the snacks at Longfu Temple?
It is very likely that Ding San remembered very clearly the reluctant look on his grandson's face when he left yesterday.

After realizing this, Ding San's eyes when looking at Xiong Yongzhaozhong were no longer so eager.

However, Xiong Yongzhaozhong was a Japanese after all, and a Japanese member of the gendarmerie, so Ding San would never dare to offend him.

"What Xiong Yong Taijun said makes a lot of sense, but..."

Ding San looked embarrassed. He just said one sentence when he was interrupted by Xiong Yongzhaozhong. Xiong Yongzhaozhong resolutely said, "No buts! I know that when you Chinese say but, it means you want to change your mind! We Japanese are different from you. As long as we find the right direction, we will keep going! We are not afraid of any difficulties! Any difficulties! Until we succeed in the end, we must succeed!"

"You are right, but I am worried..."

"I understand! Are you worried about not having enough manpower?" Xiong Yongzhao said with a heavy smile. Ding San's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

Without waiting for Ding San to speak, Xiong Yongzhao slapped Ding San's shoulder with his big, furry hand that looked like a bear's paw, causing Ding San to stagger.

"Don't worry! I have contacted Watanabe and Mano for you. They are both my good friends and are willing to help us go to Longfu Temple at night... to investigate!" Xiong Yongzhaozhong said.

This grandson is planning to let me treat him to a meal! He alone has eaten up half of my monthly salary. If two more people come, I will not be able to survive for the next six months!
Ding San was about to speak with a bitter face, but Xiong Yongzhao waved his hand generously and said, "You look so excited? Do you think there is hope of solving the case? No need to thank me! You Chinese have the saying 'stick your neck out for your friends', and we Japanese are also willing to stick our necks out for you two, three, or four times!"

After Xiong Yongzhao finished speaking, he stretched out his bear-like arms, hugged Ding San tightly, and laughed loudly: "It's settled. After get off work tonight, Watanabe-kun and I will wait for you at the door. See you there!"

After saying that, Xiong Yongzhao left with a laugh. From a distance, Ding San could hear him mumbling something. However, Ding San did not understand Japanese. Although he heard every word, he did not understand what it meant.

I dare not refuse a date with a Japanese man. I hope that Watanabe and Mano don't eat as much as Xiong Yong!

Ding San walked towards the Special High Section office with a bitter look on his face.

Office of the Chief of Special High Section.

Tadokajo put down the phone with a serious look on his face.

The call was from the Manchurian Railway Research Section. The section chief, Saburo Kobayashi, was a good friend of mine, and he reminded me that Prince Asagao Haruhiko had ended his visit to Manchukuo and would be heading south soon.

According to Saburo Kobayashi's speculation, His Royal Highness Prince Haruhiko Asahigao would arrive in Peking around August 16th.

For a whole month, the Beiping authorities were busy with this matter. The itinerary of His Royal Highness Prince Haruhiko Asagao had already been sent to the Garrison Command, the Security Command, the Military Police Command, and even the Oshima Agency and other special agencies in the form of a secret telegram.

Asahiko Asahiko's visit to Manchukuo and North China was an action planned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose main purpose was to demonstrate Sino-Japanese friendship and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Since the purpose is "Sino-Japanese friendship", interaction with the people is inevitable, so the telegrams containing the prince's personal participation in activities such as visits and banquets are as long as two pages.

Tada Okajo was very worried about the security environment in Peiping, and reported his concerns to the Military Police Headquarters, but his report fell on deaf ears and no response was received.

No one wanted to disturb Prince Asahiko Haruhiko at this time.

As for public security issues, that is the business of your Special High Police and the Police Department. What does it have to do with us?
Tada Okajo looked at the big number "9" on the calendar on the table in front of him, and thought that there were only seven days left until Prince Asagao Haruhiko arrived in Peking!

Time is of the essence. We need to discuss the security plan again with Shen Yan from the Special Agent Section of the Police Department to ensure that everything goes well.

I don't know who made the itinerary. If Tada Okajo knew about it, he would have shot him immediately! There were dozens of places to visit, including the Forbidden City, Xiangshan, Ming Tombs, and Lama Temple.

In addition to visiting famous scenic spots and historical sites, Haruhiko Asagao will also go to Kifengkou to pay tribute to the brave warriors who sacrificed their lives for the empire!

That's fine, but what about Donglaishun, Quanjude, and Duyichu? What are these places for? Are they for visiting or paying tribute? Tado Okajo cursed in his heart.

However, even if you curse, you still have to do your job! These places are crowded with people and the environment is complicated. If the matter is not kept secret and the news is leaked, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the chaos to assassinate.

By then, even if the surroundings were tightly guarded and the assassination attempt failed, if Prince Asagao Haruhiko was frightened, those bigwigs in the military would not forgive him!

Therefore, confidentiality must be maintained. All of Prince Asahiko Asahiko's itinerary in North China must be kept confidential. Except for those who need to know, it must be kept confidential and not be passed on!

As the telephone rang, Tadoka was making some notes on the message. There was a light knock on the door, followed by another one.

Tadanobu Okajo was absent-minded and said casually, "Come in."

The door opened and Ding San poked his head in with a flattering smile on his face.

Tado Okajo frowned slightly. He didn't like Ding San's sneaky look.

"Mr. Ding, what's the matter?" Tada Okajo wanted to quickly answer him with a few perfunctory words and send him away, while he considered how to further refine the security measures for Prince Asagao Haruhiko.

Ding San slowly walked towards Tadokajo's desk, staring straight at the telegram in Tadokajo's hand.

Almost all of it was in Japanese, with a lot of Chinese characters in between, which made Ding San confused. He could recognize them when he looked at them separately, but when they were put together, it was so confusing that he couldn't make any sense.

Tado Okajo followed Ding San's eyes and saw that he was looking at the telegram in his hand. His expression changed and he calmly put the telegram into the drawer.

Tada Okajo felt a little worried, and after thinking for a while he asked, "Mr. Ding probably doesn't understand Japanese, right?"

Ding San was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Tadokajo asked this. He was hesitant and didn't know how to answer.

Ding San hesitated for only a moment, then thought it would be better to answer honestly, and quickly said flatteringly: "I don't understand, I really don't understand Japanese."

"I know you can't understand Japanese, but can't you understand it either?" Tadokajo asked again.

"I know nothing about it. I can't understand what I hear or what I see." Ding San said quickly.

Hearing what Ding San said, Tada Okajo felt relieved a little, nodded and asked, "Mr. Ding, I heard from Xiong Yongzhaozhong that you found new clues?"

Ding San thought of Xiong Yongzhaozhong's big mouth and his gluttonous look as he finished a pancake in just a few bites, and he couldn't help but nodded with a wry smile.

What's that expression? Ding San seems unhappy after finding the clue? Tada Okajo didn't understand, but he didn't ask further. Instead, he encouraged him.

Finally, Tada Okajo said approvingly: "However, you should not be too obsessed with the murder clues. It is very likely that Senior Inagaki died in a random action of an anti-Japanese organization."

"I understand! I understand!" Ding San said as he pushed the phone records in front of Tadokajo.

"What is this?" Tadokajo asked in surprise.

"Section Chief Tada, have you forgotten that I suggested to you yesterday to check the call records of Inagaki Nakayoshi's office phone?" Ding San said hurriedly.

After Ding San said this, Tadokajo had some impression.

The telephone company called me this morning and said that the call records they asked me to check yesterday were ready to be sent over.

He thought that it was Ding San who asked him to check the phone records, and since he was not here at the moment, he simply ordered the people at the telephone office to send the call records to the special agent department of the police station.

Who knew that this call record would appear in front of me.

"What's the problem?" asked Tadokajo.

"Look at this phone number." Ding San said, pointing to a line of phone numbers.

The phone number that Ding San pointed to was Yang Denghuan's office phone number.

Tado Okajo looked over and suddenly his eyes widened in shock.

The phone number that Tadokajo saw was not the one that Ding San pointed out, but a number with hidden digits.

Even though the numbers were hidden, Tadokajo was still able to recognize them!
Tadaokajo was very familiar with these numbers. He would call them every few days to contact the warships that needed to smuggle the goods!

Yes, these phone numbers are exactly the phone numbers of the Imperial Navy’s Office in Peking!
What on earth did this Inagaki Nakayoshi, this old man, this old fox, want to do! He was still calling these departments until the day before his death!

What is he going to do? Is he going to investigate me? Damn it! He died at the right time!
“Baka!” Tada Okajo almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth, then he raised his voice and roared fiercely: “Baka! Baka!”

Tado Okajo slammed the table heavily with his right hand, and stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger.

Seeing that Tada Okajo was angry, Ding San was overjoyed and cursed excitedly, "Yes! Baka! Yang Denghuan is such a bastard! He can do such a thing! You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

When Tada Okajo heard Ding San mention Yang Denghuan, he was stunned and his anger subsided a lot. He felt that he had lost his composure in front of Ding San. He coughed lightly and asked, "Yang Denghuan? What Yang Denghuan? Are you talking about the detective Yang in your secret service department? He is a good person and a loyal friend of the empire!"

"A loyal friend of the empire?" Ding San was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Tada Okajo's attitude was so different before and after.

Could it be that Section Chief Tada was speaking sarcastically?
"This phone call is the conversation record between Yang Denghuan...Captain Yang and Senior Inagaki." Ding San said cautiously.

"Has there been any contact between Yang Denghuan and Inagaki Nakayoshi?" Tadokajo frowned and said coldly.
