You were asked to keep a low profile and lie low, so you became the chief of a special high-tech dep

"Misunderstanding! Director Evan! We only asked Director Daoqiao to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the goods, but we did not ask him to take such extreme measures! Moreover, we are here to stop them from torturing the merchants!"

Keiko Tanaka looked at General Manager Evan and explained.

"But if I say that all merchants never asked where the goods went, and that they only collected money and didn't care where the goods went, would you believe it?"

At this time, Jiang Yifan looked at Tanaka Keiko and added fuel to the fire.

"That's enough! Let's talk about this at the headquarters. Torture is prohibited. You must execute it immediately! Otherwise, you will be punished by military law!"

Keiko Tanaka looked at Jiang Yifan domineeringly and gave the order.

Jiang Yifan, Li Qun, Kuikei Rikuto, Yamamoto Taro, Kumagawa Daiki, and Hatamura Masato, upon hearing the order, all turned to Tanaka Keiko and answered in unison:

"Hayi!"

When William heard that all this was done by Keiko Tanaka and Ryosuke Hihara, he secretly led the parade and shouted:

"Down with the mastermind!"

"We want free trade!"

"Lift the embargo and stop supply immediately!"

When Tanaka Keiko and Hihara Ryosuke heard this, they tucked their tails between their legs and left the International Settlement in disgrace.

The two of them drove non-stop to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai. After reading the telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they recounted the situation to Tokita Chaoyang.

"This Shimahashi Shinichi is really something. He is so brave that he even dares to attack the British!"

Tokita Chaoyang said with a look of fear.

However, after he finished speaking, he changed the subject and told the truth:

"But I was forced to do this by you. Since ancient times, buyers and sellers have always focused on price and quality. Why would they ask whether the buyer is from Shancheng or the Soviet area? But you insisted on forcing Director Daoqiao to tell me where the goods are going. Isn't this embarrassing?"

"But, Consul Tokita, our intelligence is feeding back a lot of information every day. A large amount of goods have indeed flowed into the mountain city and the Soviet area. Is it wrong for us to ask him to investigate the whereabouts of the goods?"

Keiko Tanaka still insisted on her own opinion.

"We cannot allow the Great Japanese Commercial Control Bureau to become the Commercial Control Bureau of the mountain city and the Soviet area, providing a steady stream of services to the enemy. This is not allowed by our duties."

Hihara Ryosuke also spoke righteously.

"Okay! To make a long story short, I just want to know your opinions. I must report it immediately!"

Tokita Chaoyang was too lazy to waste words with the two of them, so he just spoke directly.

"We have ordered Shinichi Shimahashi not to torture him or force him to confess, but he must explain the situation clearly within ten days. Otherwise, Shinichi Shimahashi will be a major suspect. This is also the opinion of Commander Ichiro Sato."

Tanaka Keiko looked at Tokita Chaoyang and answered decisively.

Tokita Chaoyang cursed in his heart, if you have the ability, can you find evidence that Shimabashi Shinichi sold the goods to Yamashiro and the Soviet area?

They are just blindly suspicious and have no ability at all, so they start infighting!

Tokita Chaoyang didn't say anything else, but waved his hand.

The secretary came over and asked Keiko Tanaka and Ryosuke Hihara to sign. After the two left, he asked the secretary to compile it into a report and send it to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Afterwards, Tokita Asahi reported his views truthfully to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He opposed this groundless suspicion!

It's not only because Shinichi Shimahashi gave him ten large yellow croakers, but more importantly, it's because of his trust in Shinichi Shimahashi.

If it weren't for Shinichi Shimabashi who risked his life to bring the parade back to the International Settlement during the last parade, allowing Japan to turn the tide, I'm afraid he and Ichiro Sato would have been transferred back to the mainland for investigation!

What's more, Shimahashi Shinichi not only let go of the past grudges and returned the ten yellow croakers that he had given away, but also gave away ten more yellow croakers. If I don't say a few words for Shimahashi Shinichi, would I still be a human being?

After returning to the gendarmerie headquarters, Keiko Tanaka reported the situation to Ichiro Sato again.

"If you don't go, Shimahashi Shinichi, are you really going to torture and interrogate the British?"

Ichiro Sato looked at Keiko Tanaka and asked in disbelief.

"Li Qun has raised his whip. If we hadn't arrived in time, a bigger storm would have started again!"

Hihara Ryosuke also answered with lingering fear.

Ichiro Sato was also frightened!

This kid is really brave, but he may also be forced into a corner. After all, he only has ten days. If he can't give a satisfactory answer after ten days, it will be difficult for me to protect him even if I want to.

After all, the intelligence over the past two days showed that the inflow of goods into the mountain city and the Soviet area was too abnormal, which naturally increased the suspicion that Shimahashi Shinichi was the lighter!

You know, at the critical moment, it is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go!

Although Shinichi Shimahashi gave himself eighty large yellow croakers, if he was really a lighter, he would still choose to shoot this spy to death!

"What is the current situation in the mountain city and the Soviet area?" asked Ichiro Sato.

"Just like the previous few days, very busy!" Keiko Tanaka answered truthfully.

"So, to us, Shinichi Shimahashi is a mysterious figure, full of suspicious points, but when you get close to him, he is pure and innocent. Just like what the American Consul Sarabin said, he is a god-like Shinichi Shimahashi! But are there gods in this world? So I still insist on the old Chinese saying that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal."

It's rare for Ryosuke Hihara to use so many words to explain his point of view.

Hearing this, Ichiro Sato also felt a headache!

Damn Shinichi Shimahashi, you’ve only ten days left, so you’d better fend for yourself and prove your innocence!

If you really can't prove your innocence, I will let you die quickly for the sake of the eighty yellow croakers.

Since you have always been so outstanding and so weird, if I can't use you, why should I let you live in this world and burden me?

"This is a serious matter. Why don't we report the situation to our superiors?" Tanaka Keiko said to Ryosuke Hihara.

"I think it's necessary!" Hihara Ryosuke thought about it for a while and replied. Then he and Tanaka Keiko left in a hurry.

Ichiro Sato is not stupid either. He doesn't want to wait until the situation gets out of control before reporting to his superiors.

If it weren't for Shinichi Shimabashi, who risked his life to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory during the last big parade incident, I'm afraid he would have been stripped of his official hat long ago.

He also truthfully reported to the Army Headquarters the strange phenomena that occurred in the Shanghai Commercial Control Bureau.

As a result, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Japanese Army Headquarters held an emergency meeting and decided to send a joint investigation team, led by the Ministry of Home Affairs, to Shanghai to conduct a rigorous investigation into the incident.

At the same time, the head of the Shimahashi family also secretly met with the head of the investigation team, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yamato Hosaki, to explain the situation.
