PS: Thank you for so much reward, so much love, it is the motivation and pressure, I stayed up late last day and made some changes to the front, striving to make the whole plot smoother. Chapter 123, you can re-read it, and the things that were not explained clearly before have been explained in detail.

"Are you sure the painting is real?"

In the secret stronghold of the Beiping Special High School, Muto Nobuyoshi asked an old man wearing a robe and a melon skin hat and glasses next to him.

"Really, Han Gan's "Horse Husbandry" in the Tang Dynasty is absolutely true!" The old man rubbed the simple and yellowed ancient paintings, and his voice began to tremble.

"Alright, you go out!" Muto's face also showed a little joy, originally thought that Wang Tianmu had absconded with the painting, but he didn't expect this unexpected joy!

"It's just, how could this painting be ........ with Boss Qiu?"

Muto muttered to himself, turning his gaze to the army sergeant standing in front of him.

At this time, Hideki Tanaka was standing straight in front of Muto Daisa, with a bit of shyness peculiar to the farmers of northern Hyogo on his black and red face - he was still a little worried before, but now he is sure that what Ida senior gave him is indeed a real herding map!

Such a precious thing was handed over to his own hands, thinking of this, Tanaka Hideki was a little more grateful to Geng Chaozhong.

Muto, who was on the other side, glanced at Tanaka and then turned his gaze back to "Horse Husbandry".

According to what Eunuch Jin said, this painting should have fallen into Wang Tianmu's hands, how could it appear in Bona Zhai, the shopkeeper of Qiu?

He didn't suspect that Hideki Tanaka, this army sergeant, at first glance, was the most common and most honest and reliable Kansai peasant in the army, and besides, he didn't believe that a little sergeant dared to deceive himself.

"You say, you snatched this painting from Boss Qiu in Bona Zhai?" After a moment of silence, Muto finally asked.

"Report Dazuo, yes." Tanaka was a little nervous, he was not used to lying to his superiors, in fact, it was also the first time he had lied to his superiors.

"Tell me about the specifics." Muto was noncommittal.

"I was instructed by Kamikawa-kun to lurk in an antique shop outside the Peace Gate of the Chinese Imperial Palace, and requisitioned the antique shop's boss Qiu to work for me, and as soon as the boss Qiu heard that I was a member of the imperial army, he immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with me, and I stayed there for more than two months......" Tanaka began to babble about what had happened.

"Getting to the point!" Muto interrupted Tanaka's chatter a little impatiently.

"Okay," Tanaka shuddered, "that day, I was monitoring Bona Zhai, and suddenly a person entered the store, holding this painting in his hand, he wanted Boss Qiu to identify the real and fake, but unexpectedly, this person found out about my existence, the two of us exchanged fire, I was shot in the shoulder, but also killed that person, Boss Qiu was killed by a stray bullet during the firefight. ”

"That's all?" Muto frowned, "So, you don't know who that person is?" ”

"I don't know." Tanaka shook his head.

Muto frowned, this person has been killed by Tanaka, and there is no need to investigate further, besides, he has obtained a painting, and there is no point in dwelling on this matter.

Thinking of this, Muto glanced at the army sergeant in front of him again, this person had a dark face and a resolute expression, although he was a little straightforward, but this time he made a great contribution, and it can be regarded as a manufacturable material, and he immediately said:

"You, according to the regulations, you can be promoted to join the gendarmerie, but this time you have made a lot of contributions, I specially approve you to join the special high school directly, however, you are a newcomer, you still need to train diligently, you must not be arrogant and slack!"

After speaking, as if he remembered something, he took out a pocket watch from his arms, handed it over, and said warmly: "This is a pocket watch that has accompanied me for more than ten years, and I am giving it to you now, I hope you will work hard in the special high school class and make new contributions!" ”

"Hey!" Tanaka saluted excitedly, and his whole body began to tremble!

It worked!

I finally got my wish and joined the gendarmerie, no, not only the gendarmerie, but also the highest secret service agency of the Imperial Army, the special high class!

"Let's go down!"

Muto looked at the excited and trembling newcomer in front of him, and couldn't help but smile, once upon a time, he was also excited by a compliment from his boss, a compliment, but now he understands that these compliments are pushing people harder on the road to death!

When Tanaka walked out, Muto Nobuyoshi turned his head and asked the adjutant next to him, "You say, why did Wang Tianmu get Mu Ma Tu to Boya Zhai?" Just to distinguish the real from the fake? ”

"I think he may be trying to take the horse herding map for himself," the adjutant showed a bit of ridicule on his face, "these Chinese, I know best, greedy and do not know whether to live or die, this is just the most common thing for them!" ”

"Well," Muto nodded, "Beiping Station is destroyed, Wang Tianmu probably won't dare to go back, even if he returns to Nanjing, I'm afraid he won't be able to please him, but, where is this guy hiding?" ”

"The section chief doesn't have to worry, as soon as the Tanggu Agreement is signed in a few days, the entire six counties in eastern Hebei, our imperial army will be able to move freely, and Beiping will be firmly in our hands!" The adjutant replied.

.........

Geng Chaozhong was on his way to Petain Tower, and he needed to meet Situ Leiden as soon as possible to confirm his identity as a coverer.

Only by ensuring the security of the identity can we take further action, at the very least, it will not wander around Beiping City like a ghost - it will be too easy to be exposed!

After ensuring safety, Geng Chaozhong began to carefully sort out everything that happened last night, including all the details.

What happened last night happened too quickly, he had just laid down the chess piece of Tanaka, and in the blink of an eye, Beiping Station was reduced to hell on earth - now he knew very well that "Horse Husbandry" must have fallen into the hands of Muto.

At that time, the purpose of handing over "Horse Husbandry" to Tanaka was to catch big fish through Tanaka, and at that time, he had already sent someone to follow Tanaka, and at that time, he thought that "Horse Husbandry" was just a spin in the other party's hands!

Unexpectedly, before Beiping Station could be launched, it was copied by the special high school class that night!

There are also the two people sent to follow Tanaka, I don't know if they didn't dare to come back after following them, or if they didn't go out at all.

No, they should have followed, but they didn't dare to come back, or they couldn't.

Muto must have gone to Tianshui Hutong to round up Wang Tianmu, and found that Wang Tianmu was not there, so he sent someone to follow him to Dongjiaomin Lane, otherwise, the people who rounded up Wang Tianmu last night would not have dragged on for so long, and they should have done it a long time ago.

There is a time difference in this, just enough to let Tanaka and the stalker go out, that is to say, Beiping Station, in addition to himself, Wang Tianmu, Old Man Geng, and the two people who followed Tanaka, should have also escaped last night's roundup!

And these two people should be able to get in touch with Wang Tianmu.

The key is that Wang Tianmu must be found, as long as Wang Tianmu is found, those two people can be found, those two people can be found, Tanaka can be found, as long as Tanaka is found, then there is still a glimmer of hope!
