Chapter 314 Arrest
Fifteen minutes later, Navy Headquarters, Commander's Office.

Tsukahara Jishizo happily poured tea for Zhou Qinghe.

"Endo Saburo is really asking for trouble. If word gets back to their headquarters after what you said, I'm afraid his job as chief of staff will be difficult, and he may even be reported to the General Staff Headquarters for investigation."

Zhou Qinghe nodded in thanks, took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "It's still difficult to pull him down with these rumors. The most we can do is make him unhappy."

"If he's unhappy, then shouldn't we be happy too? Hahahaha."

Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling, the phone on the table rang.

Tsukahara Jishizo went over to answer the phone and chatted for a few words, then hung up and came back.

He said: "After inquiring about the matter, Endo Saburo proposed to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters to launch an investigation into the murder of Takata Daikuma. The person who proposed the proposal was Chief of Staff Kawabe Masamitsu.

The top leaders did not hold a formal meeting on this matter. The Hankou Command just filed a complaint, saying that you killed their people without authorization, and the General Staff had to deal with it.

So the people in the General Staff thought it was reasonable to ask you the reason why you killed someone, so they agreed to his suggestion and asked you to go over and cooperate and explain the reason.

It was a very casual tone. It happened to be dinner time, so no one took it seriously. They just casually mentioned it at the table and that was considered a consensus.

At that time, some people at the dinner table were joking and said that when you came, they would like to ask you to help them with their chronic illnesses.

Some of them don't want you to be investigated at all, they just want to meet you, and they will probably treat you to a meal if you go.

It's that simple.

Some of them didn't expect that the matter would become so serious that they even blocked the gate of the naval base.

Looking back now, I feel that Hebian Zhengsan may have taken advantage of the situation.

If you really went to the headquarters, the order was issued by everyone, and the investigation was agreed upon by everyone. If Hebian Zhengsan insisted on the investigation and the Hankou headquarters cried again, then if you delayed it for a few days, it might become a fact. "

To put it bluntly, the expeditionary force headquarters had no power to deal with Fujita Kazukiyo, but they delayed for a few days in the name of investigation. Who can say that what they did was unreasonable?
Isn't it enough to have good food and drink? You can't go wrong.

Zhou Qinghe sneered after hearing this and shook his head: "How interesting."

"It's interesting." Tsukahara Jishizo also smiled speechlessly: "No one is monolithic. Hebian Zhengsan used them in a trap. This thing didn't work out, and it was exposed. They are also very angry. The deputy chief of staff I called told me to tell you that it was really not his intention. He asked you to forgive him and apologize to you in person next time."

"Okay, let's have tea together next time when you are free, please."

"please."

Tsukahara Jishisan took a sip of tea and said, "Fujita-kun, if you have any plans for the future, just let me know if you need my help. I can still help you a little in Hankou."

"There is something I need your help with, Lord Tsukahara." Zhou Qinghe was not polite at all.

"Please say."

"Help me prepare a plane. I'm going back to Shanghai."

"Ah?" Tsukahara Jishisan was surprised: "You're going back so soon?"

"Originally, there were still some steps to be done, such as causing some trouble for Endo Saburo so that he would not bother me. Endo Saburo has now done the most troublesome part for me, so I can indeed go back."

"What about the poisoning case?"

"Check it out." Zhou Qinghe smiled and winked, hinting, "Isn't Fujita Kazuki working hard at your base to read the files and find clues? You two even have dinner together every day."

Tsukahara Jishizo was stunned for a second, then laughed, "I see! Don't worry, I'll take care of it in the base, and make sure that Fujita Kazukiyo's efforts to investigate the case will be made known to those who want to know through secret channels."

"Thank you, Master Tsukahara."

"Then Endo Saburo and Kawabe Masazo."

"They are not my focus. I don't plan to spend any time on the things here. You know, the battlefield is not here. It's just a matter of convenience for him to deal with it or not. If he doesn't have time, forget it."

Shanghai, Hongkou, Meiji Office.

The Mei Office has become unusually busy in the past two days, with people coming in and out in a hurry.

The departure of Fujita Kazukiyo marked the beginning of a full-scale offensive against the Ume Agency.

Before this, the Military Control Commission's attacks on the Green Gang and Shanghai's business community could only be regarded as a prelude. From today on, everything must be done with intensity and against time.

Yingzuo's study.

Ying Zuo was sitting cross-legged, Deputy Director No. 76 Li Liqun was standing with his head bowed, and his subordinate Wu Sibao.

"You have done a good job in the investigation work you have completed in the past two days. Now that the list of people who oppose Wu Sibao is clear, the title of the next movie is called "The Military Control Commission's Mass Assassination of the Green Gang Leaders". What do you think?"

Yingzuo's suggestion is very constructive.

Wu Sibao smiled and nodded and said yes.

Li Liqun pondered for a moment: "General Yingzuo, as far as I know, although the Military Control Commission did have assassination operations against the Qing Gang, they selected people.

Generally speaking, they would not choose to take action against anyone who was not too arrogant or did not directly express their attitude of serving the Empire of Japan.

The Military Intelligence Bureau was hiding in Shanghai. From peddlers to business leaders, no one would take the initiative to report to the Military Intelligence Bureau. The attitude of the Military Intelligence Bureau towards the Green Gang was also ambiguous. In fact, the Military Intelligence Bureau did not want to offend them and buy a chance of survival.

Based on this premise, if you say that the Military Control Commission wanted to kill Zhang Xiaolin, all the citizens of Shanghai would believe it. If you say that the Military Control Commission wanted to kill some traitorous businessmen, the people of Shanghai would also believe it. But if you say that the Military Control Commission went crazy and arbitrarily massacred the big figures of the Green Gang, this would be…”

Li Liqun stretched out the last syllable and smiled: "I think everything is too much or too little. Think about it, Shanghai is still in our hands. No matter how stupid the Green Gang is, they will not believe that the Military Control Commission has the time to cause trouble for them. Why don't they cause trouble for us?"

"What you said makes sense." Yingzuo smiled faintly, "So I want to add a foreplay to this movie."

"Foreplay?" Li Liqun frowned, not understanding what he meant.

Yingzo waved his sleeves, picked up a folder next to him, took out the papers inside, and handed it to Li Liqun.

"What is this?" Li Liqun looked at the note, which had nine addresses on it.

"An action team of the Military Control Commission."

"what?!"

Li Liqun looked at Yingzuo in shock: "Are you sure?"

What shocked Li Liqun was not that Yingzuo could come up with a Military Control Commission action team, but how Yingzuo found the Military Control Commission before him?
What the hell, is Yingzuo having an affair?

Otherwise, where could Yingzuo get such information?
"Of course it's true." Ying Zuo smiled and said, "I'll give you this group of people. You have to use them well for me. As a prelude to the assassination of the Green Gang leader by the Military Control Commission, Director Li has to help me arrange the story of their grievances and hatreds. The Shanghai audiences who bought tickets prefer a more reasonable plot."

Isn’t it just a frame-up?

Li Liqun nodded in understanding: "Please rest assured, General Yingzuo, I know what to do."

Yingzuo nodded with satisfaction: "Hurry up, I don't like waiting, time waits for no one!"

"understand!"

As soon as the two men left, their men knocked on the door.

"Chief! Something big has happened! Military Police Commander Jiro Miura has been assassinated and has been sent to the hospital for treatment!"

"What?" Yingzuo stood up suddenly, his face changed color: "Who did it?"

"It's the Military Control Commission, not our people." The subordinate knew very well what answer Yingzo wanted to hear.

"Go to the hospital."

Yingzuo strode forward with a sullen face.

No matter how they disagreed with each other privately, the commander-in-chief was assassinated. This was a big deal. Out of friendship among colleagues, he had to show concern first. As he was in charge of the spy work in Shanghai, he had an obligation to do so. If Jiro Miura died as a result, he would be blamed for everything he had done!
The group rushed to the hospital and were told that Jiro Miura was being rescued in the operating room.

The doctor said he was shot in the chest, but the good news was that the muzzle was some distance away from his heart.

Yingzo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still stared at the door of the operating room nervously, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"How good is the doctor?"

"Chief Doctor, the military doctor is here too, there shouldn't be any problem."

"No problem? It's too far off. What a pity that Fujita and Kiyoshi are not here." Yingzuo frowned and sat down with an inexplicable look on his face.

At this moment, he really hoped that Fujita Kazukiyo was in Shanghai. If it was Fujita Kazukiyo who was performing this operation, he would never be as worried as he is now.

The opponent trusts the opponent the most because the opponent knows the opponent best.

He was even thinking about whether he should send a telegram to Fujita Kazukiyo to call him back, but after thinking it over, he suppressed the urge.

Keep a tense expression and continue waiting!
Just wait until it gets dark.

Finally, the door of the operating room opened and the doctor walked out with a tired look on his face.

"How about it?"

The assistant stepped forward and asked tactfully.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead weakly, nodded and said, "Fortunately, the heart was not injured, and his life was saved. Whether there will be other problems, we need to wait for follow-up observation."

He was completely relieved, his men were relieved, and Yingzuo was relieved too. The two waited for a while, watching the nurse push the bed out. Miura Jiro, pale and bloodless, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his upper body naked, his chest wrapped in thick bandages, bright red blood oozing out, turning from a point into a circle and spreading around.

"Make way." The nurses pushed the bed into the ward.

Kagesawa did not follow. Now that Miura Jiro was unconscious, there was no point in going.

On the contrary, things in Shanghai need to be pushed forward at a faster pace.

Because at this time he thought of a problem. If Jiro Miura could not take office, then the victory results that the people behind him hoped for would be dashed!
How can you take responsibility if you are unable to hold office?

Jiro Miura, the cooked duck has flown away.

Will the people behind him change their strategy or delay this matter until Jiro Miura's injuries fully recover?

And if this is true, the Military Control Commission in Shanghai will have to remain in place for a while, and he will have to bear the responsibility for the attack on Jiro Miura, and the chaos in Shanghai can only be quelled in a painless way.

He has no merits, but rather faults.

This situation was not what he wanted.

too long!
"If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

As long as he keeps going and captures the Military Control Commission, he will have made a great contribution!

So speed up the process and make it a done deal. As for the problem of Jiro Miura, it has nothing to do with him, right?
He can't be the commander of the gendarmerie.

A night passed and it was dawn!

The newsboys in the Shanghai Concession started another busy day of work.

They carried a cloth bag across their shoulders, which was filled with all kinds of newspapers, and were shouting while holding a few of their commonly sold daily newspapers in their hands.

"Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper! The Military Control Commission has taken action again, and another businessman has been attacked! Read the newspaper, read the newspaper!"

Newspapers were circulated along with the shouting and then became the topic of after-dinner conversation.

Recently, people are discussing what's new in Shanghai, who the Military Control Commission killed, and how they killed them, which has naturally become a hot topic of discussion.

As for these businessmen, everyone wants to inherit his property. As for the widowed women, everyone wants to help take care of them. As for the businessmen themselves, it would be best if they just died.

There's always something to talk about.

Whether it's money, women or way of death, people can talk about it with relish.

Gradually, a piece of news spread among the crowd.

There was news that a businessman's family offered a large sum of money to buy out a member of the Military Control Commission in order to avenge their deceased husband, offering 5 oceans.

Listen to the crowd gasp.

"Fifty thousand dollars!"

Isn’t this too rich?
"It's a full 50,000. I'm excited just by hearing that." An exclamation was heard in the teahouse.

"Do you know where the Military Control Commission is? How about you admit that you are from the Military Control Commission, and I report you. We can do five times a day, and each person gets 25,000 yuan?"

"Get lost!" the man cursed with a smile.

Money can move people's hearts, and the news of the 50,000 ocean reward spread throughout the concession immediately. More and more people were talking about this matter, one person telling me another. Although no one knew who the woman who bought the business was, everyone believed it to be true.

And three hours later, another piece of news began to spread.

I heard that a big shot from the Green Gang was dissatisfied with the actions of the Military Control Commission in Shanghai during this period and wanted to punish them, so he sold the news to that woman!

"Tsk." Someone sneered, "Why are you talking so righteously just because you're greedy for money? It's not shameful to do it for money! If I had any news about the military personnel, I would..."

"What's wrong with you?" The man next to him slammed the table and glared at him, "You still want to be a running dog, don't you?"

"I want to be one! But they don't want me. If they want me, I will put rat poison in the damn Japanese army's big pot of rice. I will kill them all!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Joyful laughter rang out in the restaurant again.

After laughing, they continued to discuss the 50,000 dollars and the woman.

No one took it seriously. Rumors are like that. Nine out of ten are false, and even if they are true, what does it have to do with them? So everyone just listened to it and let it go.

While they were talking and laughing, Wu Sibao and his men rushed out of the gate of No. 76 Jessfield Road, next to the French Concession.

In the evening, in Zhabei, in an ordinary alley.

A man in a long gown, dressed like a shopkeeper, was walking towards home with a bundle of cakes in his hand.

The residential alleys are full of the smell of life, with smoke rising from the roofs and the aroma of food wafting from the houses.

"Boss Zhang, it's time to call it a day."

"Boss Zhang, why are you so early today?"

Neighbors greeted each other.

The man called Boss Zhang also greeted others with a smile.

"I have something to do today, so I'll go to bed early."

"What's the matter?" The women in the alley are particularly gossipy.

Boss Zhang did not hide it and said shyly, "I have an appointment to see a movie."

"Hey, are you looking for a lover?" The woman next to him yelled, "Whose girl is this?"

"We haven't even started dating yet. We just met."

"At Boss Zhang's age, it's time for him to find someone to start a family. He's not young anymore. Boss Zhang, I'm waiting to attend your wedding banquet."

"It's easy to talk about."

Boss Zhang smiled and bowed to them. Then he walked to the door of his house and took out the key to open the lock. It was this glance that made him realize that the lock had been tampered with.

The secret mark left on the lock is gone!
Without hesitation, Boss Zhang turned around and left, with one hand around his waist to guard against any possible accidents.

"What's wrong with Boss Zhang?" the neighbors next to the alley were still asking.

He also responded casually: "I left something in the store. I'll go get it."

"I can't make it to the date with the girl~" the neighbor joked with a smile.

Boss Zhang dealt with it with a smile.

Suddenly! He stopped.

Ahead of him, at the other end of the alley, three men walked in. Their steps were faster, steadier and more powerful than those of ordinary people. Considering that his door lock had been tampered with, Boss Zhang turned around again without hesitation and took two steps in the opposite direction.

The neighbor was still calling out to Boss Zhang, but he had no time to reply because at the entrance of the alley ahead, there were still three men, surrounding him and walking towards him quickly!

It happened in a flash. Boss Zhang suddenly ran forward at full speed because there was a small alley to the right between him and the other party, which was the only way to survive.

And just as he moved, the two teams behind him all started to speed up!
Boss Zhang ran as fast as he could. Although he didn't know what was wrong, that alley was his only way out today. He had to run fast! Faster than the other party! Very fast!
He ran forward with all his might, and finally, he arrived at the alley ahead of the other party.

He turned the corner and disappeared from the sight of the two teams.

The neighbors on both sides didn't know what was happening and could only scream.

And just a few seconds later, they saw Boss Zhang raising his hands and stepping back into their sight.

The man holding the gun pointed the gun at Boss Zhang's head and walked forward step by step with a playful look on his face.

"Zhang Jie, a Hubei native, opened a watch repair shop. Am I right?" the man asked.

Boss Zhang replied: "Since you all know it, why are you asking?"

The man smiled slightly: "Just say hello, don't be nervous."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Take him back." Zhang Jie was immediately restrained and tied up by two people, pushed forward, and taken to the car parked at the entrance of the alley.

The vehicle quickly drove away, leaving behind a group of frightened neighbors.

At almost the same time, on several nearby streets, the same eight people were all arrested by No. 8.

The two men resisted vigorously and were unable to escape, so they were killed on the spot.

An hour later, the interrogation began in cell 76.

Li Liqun did not dare to neglect the task assigned by Yingzo and personally supervised its execution.
