Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 444: Yukawa Hidetake Determines That It Was Internal Theft

Yanagawa really wanted to kill someone. No one had dared to yell in front of him for a long time, but he knew that he could not act impulsively. Yukawa Hidetake represented Mitsui & Co., and killing him would mean being an enemy of Mitsui & Co. He didn't know how many people in the country wanted to laugh at him and wanted to replace him.

He took a deep breath, pulled Yukawa Hidetake aside and said, "Mr. Yukawa, do you know why the troop transport fleet didn't come to this dock?"

"Didn't they temporarily change the route and go to another port?" Yukawa Hidetake said with a sneer.

Liu Chuan said with a serious expression, "No, the fleet didn't go to another port! Four nights ago, the fleet was attacked by an unknown force on its way to Lin'an. Four hours after the fleet lost contact, Commander Matsui in Shanghai received a telegram from China. They immediately sent a reconnaissance plane to search the area where the fleet lost contact, but due to weather conditions, there was no result!"

"Then a fleet was dispatched to search. The searchers found some floating debris from cargo ships and warships on the sea. Based on the traces, they determined that they were caused by an explosion. Therefore, they concluded that the fleet had been attacked!"

"Right now, the entire navy and high-ranking officials in the country are paying close attention to this matter. Your mere hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo are nothing compared to this matter. I'm not shirking responsibility. I want to tell you that we will definitely investigate the matter of your tens of tons of cargo, and we will get to the bottom of it. But you have to give us some time and don't make a fuss. It will do you no good!"

After hearing this, Yukawa Hidetake's expression changed. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to give me an explanation!"

Not long after, Chief Kurosawa of the Military Police's Secret Service Section arrived with his spies and several traitors and lackeys.

"Kurosawa greets the Commander!" A short and dark Japanese soldier quickly came up to Yanagawa and stood at attention.

Yanagawa turned and looked at Kurosawa, saying, "Kurosawa, there was a fight at the dock last night. There's a lot of blood at the scene, and there are also signs of fighting and shooting in the duty room!"

"This is Mr. Yukawa Hidetake, the manager of Mitsui & Co. Over 100,000 tons of cargo from their company vanished without a trace overnight yesterday. Everyone from Takeda Satoshi's team stationed at the docks has also vanished!"

"I'm handing this case over to your Military Police's Special Branch for investigation. No matter who's involved, we'll get to the bottom of it. I want to find out who could have caused a fully staffed team and hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo to vanish overnight!"

"Hi!" Kurosawa responded, standing at attention.

The highest spy agency of the Japanese in Lin'an was the gendarmerie, and the spy department headed by Kurosawa was specifically responsible for dealing with the Blue Shirts Society and the underground party.

In addition to a group of Japanese spies, Kurosawa also had a group of traitors composed of ruffians and thugs. The two biggest leaders among them were Chen Xiaohui and Cai Asheng.

It turned out that these two were gang leaders. Before the Japanese invaders attacked, they bullied men and women, extorted money, kidnapped wealthy businessmen, and sold opium and guns.

When the Japanese attacked, they threw themselves into their arms without waiting for them to recruit them, and did all kinds of unscrupulous evil things. Countless progressive people died at their hands.

There was also a secret agency stationed in the Youth Association in Lin'an. This agency was the highest administrative agency of the Japanese devils in Lin'an. The appointment and dismissal of all the pseudo-officials, big and small, in the subordinate agencies and departments had to be approved by it.

For example, the early Public Security Maintenance Committee and the current Autonomous Committee were all organized by this secret agency, and their main members were some traitorous businessmen in Lin'an City.

After taking over the case, Kurosawa immediately began to deploy investigation work, and then talked with Yukawa Hidetake to learn about the type, quantity, value and other information of the missing goods.

After learning about the situation, Kurosawa couldn't help but sigh, "Hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo disappeared overnight. This is incredible, but I believe there must be a method we don't know about to transport so much cargo!"

Yukawa Hidetake said, "Section Chief Kurosawa, honestly, I don't believe it was done by the underground party and the Blue Shirts Society, nor could it be done by bandits. Even if they were able to eliminate Takeda Satoshi and his soldiers, they wouldn't be able to transport so much cargo overnight!"

Kurosawa looked up at Yukawa Hidetake and asked, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Yukawa?"

Yukawa Hidetake said, "Takeda Satoshi and his soldiers are missing. Although there's a lot of blood here, I don't believe they were killed. 70 people! Even if they were killed, there must be bodies. Could it be that the murderers not only transported hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo, but also took away all these bodies? What's the point of doing this? If that's the case, how many people would they have to mobilize?"

"If it was the Blue Shirts Society, the underground party, or bandits who did it, they're really too brazen. Are your gendarmerie, patrols, and checkpoints at traffic intersections just for show?"

"So my opinion is that this case must have been committed by someone within the 22nd Division, and the person in charge must be a high-ranking official!"

After listening to Yukawa Hidetake's analysis, Kurosawa felt that it made some sense, because if it was done by someone else, many things and logic would not make sense. Only someone from the 22nd Division could have done the case so cleanly.

At the same time, Kurosawa also felt his scalp tingling. How powerful must the mastermind behind the scenes be to be able to mobilize a large number of troops and transportation tools to transport hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo overnight?

To investigate this case, he would definitely have to face such a big Buddha. Could he, a section chief with such a lowly position, withstand it?

Yukawa Hidetake and his two staff members stayed in Lin'an for another three days, but there was no progress in the investigation of the case. The only thing they knew was that many residents near the dock did hear gunshots coming from the dock on the night of the incident, but no one dared to check. After all, there were soldiers stationed there, and no one wanted to cause trouble.

Hidetake Yukawa really couldn't stay in Lin'an anymore. He still had a lot of work to do at Mitsui & Co. in Shanghai, so he left two employees to continue to look after the case and took the train back to Shanghai alone.

"Ah--" After returning to Shanghai, Hidetake Yukawa went to the warehouse where he stored opium to check. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he found it empty. Three thousand kilograms of opium had disappeared, not even one or two were left. This made him almost crazy.

You have to know that he spent most of his fortune to transport these 3,000 kilograms of opium from Goryeo. It was his personal property, and it just disappeared for no reason. How could he not be angry and frustrated?

He couldn't let his goods disappear in such an unclear manner, so he immediately went to the police department to ask his friends for help in the investigation. He then remembered his friend Yamada Tomoto, the deputy director of the International Settlement Police Department, and immediately drove to the Concession Police Department to find Zhang Yunhe.
