Yusuke Ichijo is a relatively silent person, especially after he served as the captain of the military police in Harbin for a period of time, he became even more taciturn and his face was always indifferent.

But that doesn't mean he was indifferent to the attack on Yoshida Hayato.

They came to China together from China, were both aristocrats, and worked together under Zhou Zhengqing. When they were in Harbin, they often drank together and talked about everything.

Not to mention being good friends, but we can be considered very good colleagues.

Now Yoshida Hayato is lying on the bed unconscious, but he is actually filled with rage in his heart.

Ever since Zhou Zhengqing ordered him to lead a brigade of military police to Shanghai, he has been determined to avenge Yoshida Hayato!

The reason why Zhou Zhengqing asked Yusuke Ichijo to come instead of asking Shoma Mitsuda and Mayu Taniguchi, who had more experience in leading battalion-level military police operations.

The reason is that Yusuke Ichijo fits in very well with an old saying...

That is the one that bites, never barks.

Although Yusuke Ichijo is always taciturn, he seemed honest and dutiful when working around me before.

But what Zhou Zhengqing never expected was that after he left Harbin, he let Yusuke Ichijo serve as the captain of the Harbin gendarmerie.

Yusuke Ichijo's methods were so ruthless that in just a few months, the Harbin Gendarmerie earned the nickname "Hall of Hell".

When Zhou Zhengqing was around, the military police were hated because getting involved with them would lead to financial losses, but the military police rarely actually killed people...

But after Zhou Zhengqing left and Ichijo Yusuke became the captain, in the eyes of "some people", the Harbin Military Police became a real den of evil.

Among the Harbin Police Department, Security Bureau and other departments that had been dealt with by Zhou Zhengqing, the few surviving people with names and surnames were often dealt with by Ichijo Yusuke. They were called to the gendarmerie to report on their work whenever there was something going on.

Three days of small reports, ten days of regular meetings! If there is any mistake, the person responsible must be found and severely punished!

Another thing is that Ichijo Yusuke really knows how to kill people and dares to kill people. Even several officials of the Harbin Manchuria Municipal Government were dealt with.

If Zhou Zhengqing needed excuses or hesitated about the consequences when dealing with some people in Harbin, then Ichijo Yusuke was just finding different ways to kill people.

If we don't count the Togo troops and the two security guards who were killed outside Harbin, then the number of people killed by Yusuke Ichijo is not even a fraction of what Zhou Zhengqing killed.

When Zhou Zhengqing was the captain, some citizens still dared to set up stalls to sell buns outside the Harbin Military Police. But after Ichijo Yusuke became notorious, those people who did not know the truth stayed away from him as far as possible.

Even dogs would unconsciously tuck their tails between their legs when passing the gendarmerie.

Fortunately, he faithfully followed the tone set by Zhou Zhengqing, and killed those who really "deserved to be killed". He also treated Chen Hexuan, Zhang Xianchen and others with care.

So Zhou Zhengqing didn't punish him much, but the pressure also came to Zhou Zhengqing. Even the Kwantung Army Headquarters came to him several times to complain, saying that Yusuke Ichijo killed people regardless of whether they were Chinese or Japanese, and would kill them whenever he got the chance.

There was no other way, Zhou Zhengqing could only transfer Yusuke Ichijo back to his side and let Miyadera Teru take over the Harbin Gendarmerie.

Even if he was by his side, Zhou Zhengqing usually didn't dare to let Ichijo Yusuke go on a mission, for fear that this taciturn man would give his headquarters a nickname.

. . . . . . .

After Yusuke Ichijo left quickly, the tent fell into a brief silence.

Everyone was digesting the information they had just heard. If what Yamamoto said was true, it meant that the attack was no accident, but a carefully planned operation, targeting the expeditionary force headquarters and Matsui Iwane, who had a conflict with Yoshida Hayato over the 101st Division's retreat!

Nakagawa Ken stood up suddenly: "I'm going to find Matsui Iwane and ask him for an explanation! He just lost face once, how could he dare to do such a cruel thing!!"

"Sit down!" Nakamura Shunsuke shouted sternly, "Don't act rashly without solid evidence! Don't forget our true purpose!!"

Itai Yudai also quickly stepped forward to hold back the furious Nakagawa Ken: "Nakagawa, now is not the time to mess around, we have more important tasks, you..."

At this moment, a report came from outside the tent: "Chief of Staff, Shanghai Special High Section Chief Aoki Takeshige requests a meeting!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

When Aoki Takeshige walked into the tent, he immediately showed a surprisingly respectful attitude.

He first bowed deeply to Shunsuke Nakamura, with his waist bent almost at a right angle, and maintained this posture for three full seconds before standing up.

Then he saluted Yudai Itai and Ken Nakagawa respectively, with standard and humble movements, even with a bit of fear.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff Nakamura, Section Chief Itai, Section Chief Nakagawa." Aoki Takeshige's tone was reserved: "It is a great honor for me to report to you all.

I have always heard of the reputation of the Tianjin Military Police Headquarters, and today I am filled with trepidation and fear upon meeting you, my superiors."

As he said this, his hands hung respectfully at his sides, his head lowered slightly, and his eyes remained moderately downward, showing respect without appearing overly humble.

This kind of just right respect was obviously the result of special training.

Nakamura Shunsuke nodded slightly and looked at Aoki with a scrutinizing gaze. "Section Chief Aoki, I heard that you have been investigating the attack on Staff Officer Yoshida?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff!" Aoki Takeshige immediately straightened his back, but still maintained a respectful attitude: "I was deeply shocked and indignant when I learned that Chief of Staff Yoshida was attacked.

Staff Officer Yoshida is not only my superior, but also my benefactor. It was he who brought me back from the battlefield!

Therefore, I immediately requested the Expeditionary Force Command to allow the Special High Section to intervene in the investigation, but...

When he said this, he revealed an expression of grievance and helplessness just right: “But I was rejected.

The headquarters said that the Special High Police didn't need to intervene. My humble position doesn't carry much weight, and although I'm unwilling to do anything, I can't do anything about it."

Itai Yuda raised an eyebrow. "So, what have you done? Or is the investigation just lip service?"

"My lords, after being rejected by the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, I immediately prepared to disguise myself and personally go to the station where Commander Yoshida was attacked to investigate..."

But before I could get there, the base was bombarded by the navy. When the bombardment ended and I rushed over, there was nothing left. The entire base had been plowed through by navy guns.

Aoki Takeshige took a few steps closer, maintaining a moderate distance, and lowered his voice so that everyone could hear clearly: "Although I cannot openly investigate, I think of the kindness of Staff Officer Yoshida in recognizing me, and I also think that this matter concerns the dignity of the military police system.

So... I just took a risk."

His eyes flickered as he spoke, revealing both his fear of illegal operations and his determination to take risks for justice. This delicate balance made people feel a certain sympathy and recognition for him.

Itai Yudai suddenly thought of what Ito Masayoshi had just said, and his eyes widened in shock: "Don't tell me that you attacked the army camp where the attacker's body was stored?"
