Spy game? Stop guessing, I really am an undercover agent!

Chapter 62 Some things cannot be said

As the highest commander of the Shanghai Joint Special Higher Police.

Fujita never imagined that a subordinate could cause such a huge mess.

He received a complaint call early in the morning from Consul Hiroichi Iwai.

The other party demanded a reasonable explanation as to why the Special Higher Police (STPP) was investigating the Director of the Economic Affairs Department.

This director was personally selected by him and personally tested by Sonoda Kumakichi, a senior advisor to the Nanjing Military Advisory Group.

If he is the one with the problem, then it means that the heads of the consulate and the military advisory group are also problematic.

Fujita was completely baffled. What Director of the Economic Affairs Department? He had never given such an order to investigate any Director of the Economic Affairs Department.

After much persuasion and assurances that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and provide an explanation, Iwai Hiroichi finally hung up the phone in a huff.

As soon as the call ended, Fujita received a second call.

This call came from an even more important source: the commander of the Military Police Headquarters, Otani Unshichi.

Commander Otani stated that, following a complaint from the logistics department, the Special Higher Police (TAT) had conducted an unauthorized investigation into the Economic Division without any evidence.

This decision led to chaos in the Economic Department's warehouse at Maigen Road Railway Station, with both the material entry review and transportation management work being inexplicably ordered to stop.

The supplies allocated from the Logistics Department to the Nanjing Ministry of the Interior are currently undelivered and no one has signed for them.
Who should bear the responsibility for this?

Furthermore, Commander Otani stated that the work report they received indicated that the Special Higher Police had received instructions from the Nanjing Military and Political Department to investigate whether the Economic Division had leaked any classified information.

This made him even angrier.

If the Military Police Headquarters wanted to investigate the Economic Division, it would be understandable for the Special Higher Police to be ordered to summon them.

The problem now is that the Nanjing Military and Political Department is requesting the Special Higher Police to assist in the investigation.

I bought a watch last year.

When did the empire's intelligence agencies ever have to obey the orders of a mere military and political ministry of the Nanjing Reformed Government?

How can you, as a commander, act like this? What are their identities? What are your identities? Where do you put the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army?

Unwittingly berated by the commander, Fujita Tsuyoshi dared not argue and immediately ordered his men to investigate the matter.

However, when he saw the internal notice from the Jinling Restoration Government sent by Hashimoto Yuji, all the anger that Fujita had been holding back suddenly erupted.

With his experience and intelligence, he could understand it almost without thinking.

This is Nanjing trying to shirk responsibility by putting the Economic Department in charge.

Of course, no one would think there's a problem with the Ministry of Military Affairs trying to shirk responsibility for its poor performance in combat. However, the fact that you chose to use the Special Higher Police as a weapon is a big problem.

After reading the report, Fujita Tsuyoshi angrily led his men to the interrogation room.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in a long time here.

"Lord Kagesa, what are you doing here?"

"How did I end up here?" Kagesa Masaki chuckled. "Then you'll have to ask Fujita-kun why your men arrested Director Chen for no reason."

Fujita was slightly taken aback and looked at the young man across the interrogation table. Was this the Director of the Economic Affairs Department?
What magic does he possess that makes the consul at the consulate, the commander of the military police headquarters, His Excellency Otani, and the head of the military affairs section and the head of the eighth section of the Chinese affairs section of the local general staff headquarters so attentive to him?

“Director Chen, it seems there’s been some misunderstanding between us.” Fujita stepped forward and bowed slightly to Chen Yang, saying, “I must apologize to you for the reckless behavior of my subordinates.”

This action left Chen Yang completely bewildered: "Colonel Fujita, you flatter me. Cooperating with the Special Higher Police's investigation is what I should do."

Fujita Tsuyoshi smiled and said, "Thank you very much for Director Chen's generosity."

"I think the investigation is complete. You can go back now." "By the way, gentlemen, would you like me to arrange a car to take you back?"

Kagesa Masaki waved his hand slightly and said, "There's no need to trouble Fujita-kun."

"Mr. Chen, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang bowed slightly to Fujita Takeshi, and then bowed to the people around him.

"Fujita-kun, let's have a drink sometime." Seeing that the other party was willing to let him go, Kagesa was not willing to stay in this place any longer.

He exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Fujita Tsuyoshi, and without waiting for Fujita Tsuyoshi's reply, he took Chen Yang and left.

As he watched the two slowly depart, Fujita Tsuyoshi's face gradually grew colder and colder, his earlier amiable demeanor replaced by a more icy expression.

"Team Leader Sato, I want to know who gave the order to investigate the Economic Division. Why was I unaware of this operation?"

Sato Takeshi respectfully replied, "It was an investigation order issued by Section Chief Matsui."

“Very well, bring Matsui Yokoji to see me now, quickly…” The last word “quickly” was almost shouted out.

Not only Sato Takeshi, but even Yamamoto Yuji, Fujita Tsuyoshi's personal secretary who had always been by his side, had never seen him lose his composure like this in all these years.

Sato Takeshi shuddered and, not daring to delay, ran off to find Matsui Yokoji.

Special Higher Police (THD) Commander's Office.

Fujita stood in front of the desk, his hands on the table, staring intently at the four large characters "武运长久" (meaning "May your martial fortune last forever") hanging on the wall.

“Report,” a loud voice rang out, and Fujita turned around and said in a deep voice, “Come in.”

With a creak, the office door was pushed open, and Matsui Yokoji walked into the office looking flustered.

"Lord Fujita, you wanted to see me?"

Fujita Tsuyoshi slowly said, "Who gave the order to investigate the Economic Division? Why is it that I, the commander, know nothing about this?"

Matsui Yokoji hurriedly said, "Lord Fujita, please let me explain."

"This matter was assigned to us by the Ministry of Military Affairs of Nanjing. They wanted us to investigate whether the Economic Department had leaked any secrets."

"I think this is a minor matter and there is no need to disturb Lord Fujita."

"A trivial matter? No need to bother me?" Fujita turned around and raised his right hand, instantly launching a double attack.

Two crisp "slap" sounds rang out, and Matsui Yokoji was stunned, but dared not make any move, just standing there with a half bow.

"You idiot, you moron, you moron who could end up in a museum any day now."

"You, the head of an investigation department, would actually follow orders issued by the Nanjing Military and Political Department?"

"You have completely disgraced the Imperial Army."

"Huh?" Matsui Yokoji stammered, "Lord Fujita, it's not that serious, is it?"

"It's not that serious. Why don't you go and explain it to the Commander yourself?" Fujita Tsuyoshi said angrily, "Are you a pig-brain? You can't even explain it to me clearly?"

Seeing Fujita Tsuyoshi so angry that he started swearing, Matsui Yokoji didn't dare to argue.

Subconsciously, he still felt that he hadn't done anything wrong.

He's just the director of the Economic Department. It's not like he hasn't seen him before. Director Chen was there when Chu Ming'an died last time.

A young man in his early twenties, apart from being a bit tall and good-looking, there was nothing particularly special about him.
