Chapter 43: Pursuit
At about 9 o'clock, the group of four left Tsukishima and went straight to the vicinity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs near Minato-ku, Tokyo.
The port area where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located is the famous Foreign Affairs Street in Tokyo, and the embassies of various countries are basically nearby, including the Soviet Embassy, the Chinese Embassy, and the embassies of Britain and the United States.
This restaurant is nominally run by a private person, but in fact it is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the key reception is also the relevant personnel of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after Geng Chaozhong showed his documents, he was quickly arranged to a private compartment, Geng Chaozhong went out to make a phone call, and after a while, the opposite Ministry of Foreign Affairs walked out of a man in a bespectacled and elegant suit, walking towards the restaurant.
"That's what we're doing today." Geng Chaozhong pointed to the man who was walking across from him, "There was an intelligence leak incident in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which seems to be related to the Soviets. The police town has put the case in our hands, and when that person comes in, you don't even speak, just listen quietly. ”
The expressions of Gao Tengyuan and Sun Jingting suddenly relaxed-it seemed that they would be mistaken, and they actually thought of killing people.
Geng Chaozhong glanced at the two of them with strange eyes, along the way today, Gao Tengyuan and Sun Jingting's performance was a little weird, it seemed to be with a serious sense of tension, Geng Chaozhong thought it was the first time to go on a mission, but now it seems that it is not.
"Does it have anything to do with the Cheka?" Shunsuke Yoshida didn't have the two of them thinking carefully, and he had already focused on the task.
"Yes, but it's best not to preset a position first, it's possible for anyone on either side," Geng Chaozhong nodded, listened intently to the footsteps outside, and said, "He's here." ”
The man in the glasses and suit walked in, Geng Chaozhong took the lead in getting up and saluting him, the man was very polite, bowed to Geng Chaozhong and the others, and introduced himself: "I am Iwani Guangnan, deputy director of the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will introduce the situation to you today." ”
"You can call me Inspector Gui Wu, and please give me a lot of advice, I have already read the case file," Geng Chaozhong casually introduced his situation, "I want to ask, has anything else happened in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently?" ”
"Since Takahashi-kun died, everything has been peaceful and nothing else has happened. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also reformulated the code of secrecy, and there will never be a similar incident in the future, so let you bother! "Behind Iwasato's politeness, there is an attitude of rejection.
Takahashi is the one who committed suicide in the Logistics Division.
"We don't care about the internal affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," Geng Chaozhong smiled slightly, aware of Iwana's vigilance, "Actually, we are only interested in the case itself, I heard that Takahashi-kun joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the eleventh year of Taisho and has been working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than twelve years?" ”
"Yes, Takahashi-kun is an old qualification of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, although his position is not high, but he has always been dedicated to his duties, but he is more withdrawn and has less contact with everyone, and we are also very surprised that such a thing happened this time." Iwazato still has the same attitude of smiling but keeping his distance.
"I want to ask, who else is in Takahashi-kun's family." Geng Chaozhong asked.
"He lives in Shibuya with his mother, and he is not married and has no children," Iwasato paused, "These things have been investigated very clearly by Inspector Town. ”
"I just want to confirm again," Geng Chaozhong took out the sketch from his briefcase, "This woman, have you seen it?" ”
"Yes, but only from a distance," Iwasato casually glanced at the sketch, apparently having been questioned by the police town before, "that woman is quite tall and veil-covered, and that's all I know." ”
"Do you think it's possible that she's a foreigner? I'm sure that with your many years of experience in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you must have a good understanding of the differences between Asian women and Western women. Geng Chaozhong blinked as he spoke.
"Haha," Iwali couldn't help laughing, working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he often comes into contact with all kinds of beauties, among which it is inevitable to play on the spot, this Inspector Gui Wu is a little interesting, but he immediately realized that his colleague had just died, and he didn't seem to dare to do so, so he thought about it for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Although she is taller, she should still be an Asian woman." ”
"Among Japanese women, such a height should be relatively rare." Geng Chaozhong groaned.
"Yes, this woman is about 16 inches tall." Iwasato replied.
One inch, in Japan's unit of length, is about 3CM, Geng Chaozhong nodded, 170CM, in this era, he is really tall.
"Then, let me ask, apart from Takahashi-kun, does he have any other contacts besides living with his mother?" Geng Chaozhong asked again.
"No, as I said, he's very withdrawn, not even much with his colleagues, let alone others. So, when he went in and out with that woman, we were all taken aback, thinking that Takahashi-kun was over thirty years old and was finally going to find his partner! Who knows........." Iwasa's eyes showed a hint of regret.
"Okay, then I don't have anything else to ask," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "Thank you, Yanli-kun, for your assistance." ”
"Alright, take your leave." Iwasato stood up, bowed politely, and turned to leave.
"Guys, the only clue is this woman, what do you think?" Geng Chaozhong looked at the three people next to him who had been listening patiently, "Yoshida, you speak first." ”
"Instructor, I think we still have to use the police town to check this young woman of height a lot, and then gradually narrow it down. Also, since Takahashi can be confused by this woman, her appearance should also be very good. Combining these two points, as long as you are willing to take the time, there is still hope to find results. Yoshida said in a deep voice.
"What about you?" Geng Chaozhong set his sights on Qi Tengyuan and Sun Jingting again.
"I think it's unlikely that this case will have a result in the short term, maybe the woman has already escaped." Qi Tengyuan shook his head.
"Cheka, we heard from the instructor when we were in the intelligence department a few days ago, but what Iwasato said just now seems to be Asian, could it be that it wasn't Cheka's?" Sun Jingting said cautiously.
"When Takahashi died, there was a list of agents he had left behind for us to send to Moscow," Mr. Geng said, "and besides, there were Tatars among the Soviets, and they were also Asian faces." ”
"Oh, the probability of the Cheka is very high," Sun Jingting nodded embarrassedly, and then shook his head again: "However, if the Cheka kills people, I'm afraid it won't leave us so many clues." ”
"Yes, the conventional method, the police town is estimated to have tried," Geng Chaozhong shook his head slightly, "So in this case, we still have to think of something else." ”
"What's the solution?" All three of them looked at Geng Chaozhong.
"Complete this sketch." Geng Chaozhong spread the sketch in his hand on the ground.
