I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 282 Assessment
Left wing? Remnants of the Red Fungus? North Korean spies? Or the hands and feet of the Russians? In any case, it is impossible that they are insiders of Yokota Base.

Colonel White walked slowly towards the office building. General Bolton should be in the office now, and he had to withdraw from this investigation.

No matter what the final outcome is, it will not be a good thing for those involved in the investigation.

It would be extremely stupid to undermine the Army or to slap the face of Pacific Command.

The safest way is to let that idiot Major Yamazaki take the blame.

A major, and a Japanese one, just right for use.

But before that, General Bolton's intention must be confirmed.

Enter the hall and go up to the third floor. There is a long corridor at the corner. The sunlight shines obliquely onto the original wood floor through a row of windows.

"Mr. Bolton~~"

The general's door was not closed, the main door was open, and a bearded white old man was standing by the window looking out.

Hearing his subordinate coming in, the general did not show any surprise, but just muttered to White to sit down.

When he turned around, White discovered that the general was holding a thick cigar, but it had not been lit yet.

"It's originally made in Cuba, but you don't know that there are too many fakes now. The ones made in Havana and Mexico taste very similar, but for old smokers like us, this is a shameless scam!"

The general opened the long wooden cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette and threw it to Colonel White.

"General, I, I have something to report to you."

White was still a little reserved. After all, General Bolton had just been transferred here and he was not familiar with him.

"Haha, kid! The year I graduated from West Point, you just joined the Boy Scouts. But I heard that you actually received the Eagle Epaulettes, which is an honor you can show off to death."

The general lit a cigarette, and a kind smile appeared in the smoke. Then he suddenly covered one eye with his left hand and looked at the tall white colonel in front of him.

"Graduates of the Class of 86 of the West Point Military Academy, say hello to your seniors!"

Colonel White seemed to have received some signal. He immediately stood up and saluted, then put his hands together, crossed his index and middle fingers, and made a triangle gesture at his forehead.

"This world has always been divided into different classes. Some people are destined to be chess players, while others are destined to be chess pieces, my dear junior."

General Bolton walked up to the man and placed his hand on his shoulder, and the latter sat back on the sofa obediently.

"Senior, so, this mission is just a public relations mission?"

White still expressed his guess.

This is the only reasonable explanation at the moment. Even if the murderer is not caught, we cannot expect the Metropolitan Police Department to never find the cause of the crime at Yokota Base as long as this matter is related to the base.

Yes, the Metropolitan Police Department didn't have the courage to conduct a house search, but this kind of thing would definitely become a handle.

It might even be used by Li himself to bargain on the issue of military spending.

By that time, the economic losses caused by this trivial matter would be huge.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative and keep track of every move of the Metropolitan Police Department. Although this would reveal flaws, once the murderer is caught, the base will immediately bring him back.

The Metropolitan Police Department doesn't have the courage to call for the person, and by that time there will be no evidence, so the Yokota Base can simply deny anything.

As the Chinese say, this move is "one force defeats ten skills."

Whoever controls violence controls the right to speak.

This senior, the boss of Guangminghui, is indeed no ordinary person.

"Brother, your idea is correct, but it is still too superficial. We are the group of people standing at the pinnacle of world power. Why would we go to such great lengths for such a small matter?"

The general blew out a smoke ring, and I have to say, the smoke ring was very round.

"Tsk, tsk, this tastes really good."

"Colonel White, the factory is not important, the murderer is not important, the Metropolitan Police Department is not important, and Li Ben's royal family and cabinet are not important. They are just tools, or, to be more precise, NPCs in the game. This game can still run with anyone."

"But our organizations, whether it's the Communist Party or the Illuminati, have been able to last for thousands of years. They don't rely on a mob or stupid NPCs, but on real players."

"They may be politicians, celebrities, super-rich people, media moguls, oil tycoons."

“Only those who are at the top of their respective fields and truly hold power and wealth are eligible to join.”

General Bolton's smile widened. Not all members have the opportunity to recruit new members, especially those truly chosen by God with extraordinary talents.

"General, you mean this is a test for joining the sect?"

Colonel White was shocked.

Although he is a member of the Communist Party, he is only the most peripheral and low-level member. When he joined, he was only introduced by three other members. Not to mention any specially arranged tests, there was not even an initiation ceremony for core members.

Now they have to arrange a special test for joining the club, and the stakes are so huge.

He even went so far as to mobilize Yokota Base, the Metropolitan Police Department, the royal family and the Tachibana Cabinet to serve as a backdrop.

What kind of person requires the leader above to do this?

"Is it that Mingde Shusui? Or is it Kobayashi Tadamichi?"

Colonel White frowned and spoke with uncertainty.

These two people have some talents, but they are far from meeting the admission standards, and are not even qualified to be included in the observation list.

Who else could it be? A young figure flashed through his mind.

But we still rule it out. That guy is too young, only in his early twenties. Even if he is a genius, it is impossible for him to enter the greatest organization in the world.

"Colonel White, this operation happened suddenly. The leader originally arranged for the peripheral members of China to communicate with the target, but they failed."

"This time the target is in Tokyo, and the leader has made some temporary arrangements."

"Don't be surprised. It was indeed the leader who personally deployed it. As for the reason, that is not something you and I can know."

General Bolton was still smoking.

Being transferred from the headquarters to Yokota Base was a lucrative position that many people would wish for, but it was not the best choice for him.

As a powerful figure in the army, his position in the organization is not prominent. How to gain merit and be rewarded in front of the leader is the most important help for him to break through the ceiling.

Is this mission difficult? Bolton didn't think so. It was a simple case, so this was almost like letting him off the hook.

You have to know that the leader personally assigns tasks to recruit members, and their level after joining is at least core members, that is, deputies. A young man in his twenties directly skips the "entry-level apprentice" and becomes a senior executive second only to the mentor.

The organization has 33 levels. Bolton is now at level 17, a middle-level backbone, while peripheral members like White mostly hover between levels 3 and 9.

So before coming, he didn't even know that he had an outsider member under his command.

As for the young man, he will be assessed by the leader himself. With such attention, he will most likely be promoted directly to level 27 or above.

The resources at this level are unimaginable for mortals.

You have to know that those richest people and Internet giants in China who are active in the media all day long are just the lowest-level peripheral members and have no access to any core secrets at all.

"General, are you saying that this time, with such a big scene and all the fuss, it's really just an assessment? The target is that young man from China?" Colonel White was not a fool. His leader's words were so straightforward, it would be too fake if he couldn't guess it.

Although he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't hide his shock when he heard the news.

If he passes the assessment, Jiang Hanwen will directly enter the core layer, and his level will even exceed that of Lieutenant General Bolton in front of him, and he is definitely not comparable to him as an apprentice.

This is too shocking. In the entire China, and even in the entire East Asia, there is not a single deputy, and the highest is only a senior apprentice.

The reason is simple. Whether it is the Communist Party or the Illuminati above it, the main members must be wasps.

That is, white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

These three points are indispensable.

What is so magical about Jiang Hanwen that could make the higher-ups break the iron rule and recruit him?

This guy is just an actor and director. Even if he has some talent in solving cases, it is impossible for him to be treated like this.

"Huh, General, I believe in the leader's wisdom, not to mention the countless think tanks in the organization, they can't be wrong."

Colonel White sighed.

I had originally wanted to tell the general about the situation at the factory and that idiot Yamazaki, but now it seemed that these were just insignificant decorations.

"Colonel White, this is not only a test for Jiang Hanwen, but also a test for you."

General Bolton pointed to a document on the desk and motioned White to open it.

Colonel White did not dare to delay and opened the file immediately.

This is a record of entry and exit of Yokota Base, as well as some screenshots of surveillance footage.

The photo shows a yellow-skinned middle-aged man in an army uniform, about 170 cm tall. It was Ichiro Yamazaki.

Seeing that his subordinate was completely confused, Lieutenant General Bolton did not intend to keep him in suspense.

"For the Metropolitan Police Department, this case is shrouded in mystery and difficult to crack, but for Yokota Air Base and the Army Procurement Department, it is simply an open-book exam."

"That's right. Our Major Yamazaki's every move is completely under control. The base has more than one monitoring system, and the warehouse managers in the factory are not all idiots who just sit there and do nothing."

The general sighed, seeming helpless.

"Sadly, our Major Yamazaki may not intend to hide himself."

"Why? General? What is his purpose in doing this?"

Colonel White didn't understand. If he put himself in his shoes, he would realize that as a Japanese, Ichiro Yamazaki was able to be promoted to Army Major in the mold. The effort and hardship he endured were ten or a hundred times greater than that of his white colleagues, and there was no shortage of insults and discrimination.

He was able to climb to his current position despite all these, so he should cherish his current position. Why would he seek his own death? !
Moreover, this kind of behavior of dumping corpses is stupid and meaningless no matter how you think about it.

What would you gain from dumping some dead bodies in a park like an idiot, other than creating some boring social panic?
He even threw the body parts into the Imperial Garden. My goodness, although you, Ichiro Yamazaki, have become an American citizen, you grew up in Tachibana. You have disturbed the public order in Tokyo and endangered the dignity of the royal family.

This kind of thing is an act that harms others and does not benefit yourself, even if you take a step back.

Wouldn't it be nice to stay in the army and earn more money?

"Forget it. This matter will soon come to an end. Mr. Yamazaki is a persistent person. He will not stop. You should lead people to capture him when he dumps the body again and send him back to the base immediately after you catch him."

The general didn't seem to want to continue to indulge Ichiro Yamazaki's misdeeds.

No matter how much he looks like an Asian, he is still a major in the army. If the matter gets out, it will give him a bad reputation, so it is better to arrest him and deal with the matter internally.

Colonel White left the office with a complicated expression.

Although this conversation resolved some of his doubts, it brought him even greater doubts.

However, he was secretly glad that he had restrained himself at the time and did not do anything out of line to offend the future big man.

"Jiang Hanwen, Jiang Hanwen~~~"

Muttering the man's name all the way, White got into the Hummer and drove towards the city center.

In any case, this mission was finally coming to an end. He was sure that General Bolton was aware of Yamazaki's motives, otherwise he would not have made such an arrangement.

If I rashly come into conflict with the people from the Metropolitan Police Department, the general will judge me as a failure.

It can be seen that the higher-ups need to train someone who is familiar with the local situation in Liben and can stabilize the situation to replace Lieutenant General Bolton. Fortunately, I passed this test.

Indeed, he has a good family background, outstanding abilities, sufficient qualifications, and is also a member of the organization. He and the general are also schoolmates. It is reasonable for him to be the successor.

Now, there is only one last step left, which is to capture our dear Major Yamazaki and put a perfect end to this assessment.

+ + + +
At the same time, the sukiyaki banquet in the Japanese-style courtyard of the headquarters was coming to an end.

Jiang Hanwen told everything he knew, including everything that could be said about the case. As for the outcome that the Metropolitan Police Department did not want to see, he did not intend to reveal it.

There are still variables here, although from Jiang Hanwen's perspective, the competition between the Metropolitan Police Department and the mold is purely a dog-eat-dog behavior.

But wouldn’t it be too boring if one of the parties had no ability to resist?

Jiang Hanwen doesn't mind doing more as long as it can intensify the conflict between the two sides.

The more resentful the mold is, the more likely it is that the old men in the cabinet will have to spend more than a billion dollars to appease the master's anger during next year's military spending negotiations.

The more bloodletting, the better.

Jiang Hanwen saw that the plates in front of old man Suzuki and the other two were empty. They were all touching their stomachs and seemed to be full.

Then he began to talk about the mold "corpse factory".

Completely ignoring the resentful looks of the three people.

The three of them were well-informed people, but the "corpse factory" that Jiang Hanwen mentioned was still beyond their imagination.

Mingde Qiushui was even more puzzled. Every year, the Yokota base costs taxpayers 27 billion US dollars for employee salaries alone. On average, that's per soldier. How could they be short of money?

Why would they do something that would make Satan shake his head? Don’t these people believe in religion?
Whether it is an illegal corpse factory or legal human tissue collection, it is a very cruel and cold-blooded process.

Jiang Hanwen's description is so detailed that it is impossible to doubt the authenticity of the matter.

"Mr. Jiang, now I understand what you meant by courage and boldness."

Old man Suzuki kept his head down, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it himself.

The more outrageous and unscrupulous these dirty deeds of Mold are, the less chance the Metropolitan Police Department will have to close the case.

It doesn't matter who the murderer is at Yokota Base, even if he is a cleaner.

Mold can't even hand people over to the Metropolitan Police Department.

If this kind of inhumane and morally dishonest behavior were reported, the consequences would be disastrous.

If I were the chief officer of Yokota Base, I would never make the case public.
