Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

In the afternoon, the large-scale demonstrations in Japan were still going on and showed signs of getting more intense. No one knew what the Emperor was thinking as he stayed in the Imperial Palace and did not show up.

Chikao Fumio led the cabinet ministers, senior army and navy officers, and representatives of the nobility to gather in the Imperial Palace meeting hall. They waited for three or four hours, but the emperor did not come out.

Now, everyone was at a loss. Bad news kept coming from outside, and newspapers and radio stations were still making a big fuss about what was happening in the French Concession in Tianjin.

Even the cabinet's orders to those radio stations that were still broadcasting failed to change their reporting direction, and they continued to fan the flames in a sarcastic manner. . .

Now it's not just Osaka City Hall that has been besieged, even Kyoto has begun to see cases of vandalism and looting. Fortunately, the Metropolitan Police Departments in various places responded quickly and the situation is now barely under control.

But if you delay for too long...

On the other side in Tianjin, Itai Yudai brought a team of military police and arrived at Maochuan Mansion in a mighty manner.

Hidekazu Shigekawa learned early in the morning that the military police headquarters was dispatching military police squads to various intelligence agencies. He was surprised at how quickly the military police moved, and he had already brought several important leaders from the Shigekawa Mansion to wait at the door.

"Master Itai, Master Nakagawa!" When Hidekazu Shigekawa saw Yudai Itai and Ken Nakagawa getting out of the car, Hidekazu Shigekawa shouted subconsciously.

"What's wrong? Major Shigekawa looks strange to see us? Doesn't he welcome us?" Itai Yudai got out of the car, straightened his lieutenant uniform, pressed the saber at his waist, and asked with sidelong eyes.

"No...how dare I have such thoughts? I can't wait to welcome you!" Shigekawa Hidekazu said quickly, wondering in his heart why these two would come here in person. It is definitely impossible for them to come here to worry about the liaison work.

Who doesn't know the Sakai family and the Nakagawa family? What's more, Itai Yudai and Nakagawa Ken are also very famous, so it's hard for him not to know them.

"Why are you so daring? You are a major. According to the rules, we have to salute you first!"

"Master Itai, please stop joking with me." Shigekawa Hidekazu said with a flattering smile.

Itai Yudai smiled, then turned and pointed to a person behind him and said, "Major Shigekawa, his name is Maruno Ichiro. He will be responsible for the liaison between the Military Police Headquarters and Shigekawa Mansion. Let's get to know each other. I hope you will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

After Itai Yudai finished speaking, Maruno Ichiro took two steps forward and bowed to Shigekawa Hidekazu: "Major Shigekawa, please take care of me in the future!"

Hidekazu Shigekawa did not dare to be arrogant and quickly returned the gift.

Takeda Hiroichi had already warned him that the military police would be the ones that should not be provoked in the future, so he had to be polite even if he met an ordinary military police, let alone a squad leader.

"Major Shigekawa, we are here for another matter." After seeing the two men greet each other, Itai Yudai immediately opened his mouth and stated the purpose of his visit: "We are under the order of General Takazaki to review the previous work of Shigekawa Mansion. Now, take us in to have a look."

"Inspection!?" Shigekawa Hidekazu's expression froze, and then he quickly asked, "But didn't Major Takazaki say that he would not interfere with the specific work?"

"Baga! It's a military police job, why are you so long-winded! Lead the way!" Ken Nakagawa glared and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hi! Please come in!" Although it was a bit embarrassing to be loudly scolded by a second lieutenant in front of his subordinates, Shigekawa Hidekazu did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and politely gestured for someone to come in.

After Shigekawa Hidekazu led Itai Yudai and others in, Zhang Jinhui, who stayed behind, approached a slightly plump middle-aged man wearing glasses and said, "Director Pan, what are these Japanese trying to do? Infighting? What is there for us to investigate?"

"What do you know! Haven't you heard the saying, 'A new official will do three things when he takes office?' From now on, this gendarmerie headquarters will be our emperor. You'd better be careful and don't talk nonsense!" Director Pan warned Zhang Jinhui as he walked inside.

"Director, I understand even if you don't say it. I won't say it in front of the Japanese."

"Oh, Captain Zhang Jinhui, you also get scared sometimes?" Director Pan joked.

"I am a little scared. Captain Kato and his dozens of military police were willing to kill anyone yesterday! To be honest, I couldn't sleep the whole night because I was afraid that the Japanese would cause trouble for me!" Zhang Jinhui said with a wry smile.

"Speaking of what happened yesterday, I was just about to ask you, how come no one was left alive!" Director Pan narrowed his eyes behind his glasses and asked casually.

Last night, Shigekawa Hidekazu called him and asked him to investigate Zhang Jinhui. The reason he gave was that during the operation yesterday, Zhang Jinhui killed all the attackers, and he suspected that he was deliberately killing people to silence them.

Zhang Jinhui was originally a defector from the Military Unification Department and the Party Affairs Investigation Department. No one can tell whether he was pretending to be a defector or was really lying undercover.

However, Zhang Jinhui is his capable subordinate after all, so Director Pan doesn't really believe it and is unwilling to believe that there is anything wrong with Zhang Jinhui.

And even if there is a problem, Director Pan will not report it to Shigekawa Hidekazu, but will find an excuse to deal with him secretly.

"Director, it's not that I don't want to leave any survivors, it's that those people are too stubborn. We caught one survivor, but he bit his tongue in the end. Alas... I should have left two more if I had known!" Zhang Jinhui said with some regret.

"What can I say about you? Hmm! Did you want to show off in front of the Japanese, and ended up getting addicted to killing people?

I tell you, Zhang Jinhui, as long as I am the director, I will not treat you, the action team leader, unfairly.

Don't always think about getting promoted. Sometimes doing too much is not a good thing!" Director Pan said earnestly, but his suspicion of Zhang Jinhui did not decrease, but increased.

Did they really not think of leaving two more people alive? Or did they deliberately leave one dead man behind in order to clear Zhang Jinhui of suspicion later?

"Yes, Director, I will listen to you." Zhang Jinhui did want to show off in front of the Japanese. Now that he was scared by what Director Pan said, he nodded quickly and said somewhat unnaturally.

"Okay, stop pretending to be good in front of me. Don't I know you? Let's go. Maybe the military police will find us during the investigation. Let's go in and take a look."

Director Pan just said this casually, but an hour later, the matter was really traced back to them. . . .

Standing outside the cell, Itai Yudai flipped through the documents in his hand and asked with droopy eyelids, "Three people were beaten to death during interrogation alone! You guys at Maochuan Mansion are very efficient!"

Maochuan Xiuhe smiled awkwardly, then waited for Director Pan and said, "Director Pan! What's going on?"

"Director! We are incompetent. Please punish us!"

Director Pan hunched over, looking terrified, but his heart was filled with helplessness.

The military police came to inspect the Maochuan Mansion. They just looked at other places, but when it came to matters that the Chinese were in charge of, they checked very carefully.

It's obvious that he doesn't trust me and others. Oh! It's so hard to be a dog...

"We'll talk about punishment later. First, explain what's happening here to Master Banjing!" said Shigekawa Hidekazu with a cold face.

"Yes!" Director Pan agreed, then looked at Zhang Jinhui and said, "Captain Zhang, you have been in charge of these people. Hurry up and explain to the head of the agency and Master Banjing!"
