When he heard Major General Koido Jun's proposal, Hatō Eiji immediately felt that the situation was not good.

Damn Yuan Cheng, you have caused me so much trouble. I don’t know what he is thinking or what he wants to do.

Is he really a Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau agent?

But it was his own idea to join the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau, wasn't it? Was it wrong to let him infiltrate the enemy and extract intelligence?

But why did he disobey his own orders and disguise himself as a member of the Special Higher Police?

Could it be that there was a traitor in the Special High Police who had already told the Military Intelligence Bureau about the situation of the sewer outside the warehouse wall, so the Military Intelligence Bureau ordered Yuan Cheng to pretend to be a member of the Special High Police and send the Chinese agent into the sewer?

But apart from Keiko Tanaka, there are only Shinichi Shimahashi and Ichi Kudo left in the Special High Police. Could it be that one of them is a traitor?

I heard that Shinichi Shimahashi has been screened many times, but the more people like this there are, the more suspicious they are.

If all else fails, just throw the dirty water on Shinichi Shimahashi.

Hatano Eiji knew that if he didn't find a scapegoat this time, everyone would be in trouble, especially himself.

Hihara Ryosuke, Sato Ichiro, Tanaka Keiko, and especially Li Qun, were all very happy when they heard Major General Koi mention the Yuan Cheng incident.

Because everyone knows that it would be difficult to report to the authorities without finding someone to take the blame, so everyone understood and targeted Hatō Eiji.

Hatto Eiji saw that everyone was looking at him. He knew that he had a part in Yuan Cheng's matter and that he might become the scapegoat for this incident. So he looked at Major General Koi and said:

"Major General Xiaojing, I know that I have an unshirkable responsibility in the Yuan Cheng incident. He completely failed the training and trust of the Empire of Japan. I originally wanted him to use the arsenal to lure the Chinese Military Intelligence agents to the location we set in advance and catch them all in one fell swoop."

At this point, Hatano Eiji couldn't help but sigh, and continued:

"But what I never expected was that he actually went behind my back, disguised himself as a member of the Special High Section, and swaggered into the South and East areas of the warehouse, and secretly sent a Chinese agent into the sewer. I admit that I was wrong in this matter and shouldn't have trusted Yuan Cheng too much."

At this point, Hatō Eiji sighed again, but suddenly changed the subject:

"But I have a big question. Yuan Cheng has never been to the south and east areas of the warehouse. How could he know that there is a sewer outside the warehouse wall that can lead to the interior of the warehouse?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned!

Ryosuke Hihara secretly admired in his heart that this old fox, Hatō Eiji, was trying to put the blame on the Special High Police in order to save his life!

However, it cannot be said that Hatto Eiji's thoughts were unreasonable. How could Yuan Cheng be so sure that there was a sewer on the road outside the warehouse wall?

Upon hearing this, Keiko Tanaka couldn't help but curse in her heart, thinking that Hatō Eiji was an old fox and was obviously trying to pass the blame to the Special Higher Police.

This is too big a responsibility for me to shoulder. If I fail, I might lose my life. So I looked at Hatō Eiji and said:

"Consul Hatten, please explain yourself clearly. It sounds to me like you suspect that Yuan Cheng has any connection with our Special High Section?"

Upon hearing this, Hatano Eiji also replied without hesitation:

"Chief Tanaka, I'm not saying this, it's just the truth. There must be a connection between the two!"

"Is it possible that apart from us Special High Section members, no one else knows that there is a sewer outside the warehouse wall?" Keiko Tanaka asked back.

"Of course, the naval soldiers on duty there all know about it, but is it possible for them to tell the Chinese agents?" Hatano Eiji asked bluntly.

"Then why are you so sure that the people from the Special Higher Police could tell the Chinese agents? Do you have any evidence?" Keiko Tanaka continued to ask.

"I don't have any evidence, but I know that there is a man named Shinichi Shimahashi in the Special Higher Police, who has been identified many times. And in this incident, Shinichi Shimahashi happened to be at the scene. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

Hatano Eiji counterattacked again.

Since this is his only lifeline, it would be most appropriate for the Special High Section's Shinichi Shimabashi to take the blame.

Otherwise, your future will stop here, and you may even lose your life.

You have to know that more than 20 ships full of ammunition had just been shipped from the mainland!

"Shimahashi Shinichi has indeed been screened many times, but he passed them all successfully. It is a bit far-fetched to arbitrarily say that Shimahashi is related to the Yuan Cheng incident based on this alone."

Tanaka Keiko replied somewhat annoyed.

"Chief Tanaka, I am actually doing this for your own good, for the good of the Empire of Japan. Since you trust Shimahashi so much, do you want to follow my old path of trusting Yuan Cheng?"

Hatano Eiji said, putting himself in the other person's shoes.

God knows who you are doing this for. Your conscience has long been eaten by dogs.

"For the sake of the Empire of Japan, I, Keiko Tanaka, will not protect anyone. Don't worry, I will re-screen Shimahashi-kun!" Keiko Tanaka ignored Hato Eiji's kindness and replied coldly.

"How can that be? I think it's best to let our consulate investigate. Who can guarantee that you won't protect Shimahashi-kun?"

Hatano Eiji spoke directly and truthfully.

"I object! I'm afraid you will abuse torture and force a confession in order to shift the blame to Shimahashi-kun." Tanaka Keiko said fiercely.

Koido Jun was very interested in the arguments between Hatano Eiji and Tanaka Keiko, so he said:

"Very good! We can now confirm the investigation of Shimahashi-kun. As for who will be in charge of the investigation, I think we should leave it to the Ume Agency!"

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Keiko immediately replied:

"I agree with Major General Koi's decision! I just don't know how Hatano Eiji will explain the Yuan Cheng incident if Shimahashi-kun passes the screening again. I now seriously suspect that this was planned in advance by Consul Hatano and Yuan Cheng, so that they can complete the bombing of the ammunition depot and put the blame on the Special High Police."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of everyone present!

Hatto Eiji was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair. He looked at Tanaka Keiko and shouted angrily:

"Tanaka Keiko, you are committing treason and slandering me! I, Hatō Eiji, have been loyal to the Empire of Japan and have worked hard for decades. How can a small Special High Section Chief like you accuse me of that?"

Keiko Tanaka would not listen to Hato Eiji's talk of seniority. Since they had already fallen out, she would just kill him immediately. Otherwise, once this old dog recovered his strength, he would pounce on her and bite her, which would be fatal.

Thinking of this, Tanaka Keiko looked at Major General Xiaojing and said again:

"Major General Koi, I now formally request that from now on, all personal freedoms of Hatano Eiji be restricted and he is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world. Otherwise, the explosion of the naval ammunition depot will be in vain!"
