The next day, at noon, the head of the special high school section, Imai Yushi, came to see Ning Zhiheng with a heavy gift.

In the study, Imai Yushi was sincerely saying to Ning Zhiheng: "Sir, this time thanks to your protection, otherwise General Uehara would be furious, and it would be difficult to retreat from his humble position!" ”

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand when he heard this, and comforted him in a harmonious voice: "Imai Jun, why is this, although my uncle is strict, he will never be angry with the innocent, although you are responsible in this matter, but there are extenuating circumstances, the most important thing to be held accountable should be the consulate, if it weren't for their own ghosts, how could such a thing happen?" Don't worry, I'll speak for you! ”

These words can be regarded as making Imai Yushi feel reassured, he did not come in vain today, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Fujiwara family, he is atmospheric when he does things, and he is a reliable tree!

Imai Yushi bowed deeply and said gratefully: "Thank you for your love, I am grateful!" ”

Ning Zhiheng laughed, motioned for Imai Yushi to sit down, and the two of them talked to each other.

"However, Imai-kun, this time the matter is really big, it is not realistic for you to get out completely, it depends on how serious the consequences are in the end, at present, the most important thing for you is to find out the real culprit as soon as possible and minimize the adverse impact, I don't know if you have gained anything in the past two days?"

When Imai Yushi heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said helplessly: "There has been no progress yet, and the relevant personnel have arrested a lot, but Zhan Yuanliang still let him escape, he has gone through all the places he often goes, and his family has disappeared, as for his neighbors and friends, after interrogation, no clues have been found, and it is estimated that he has already left Nanjing City." ”

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he was also relieved, and it was not surprising that since Zhan Yuanliang dared to take the risk of poisoning and assassinating, he must have made up his mind to break the kettle and prepare to be exposed, and Nanjing Station would not leave a flaw, so that the Japanese would have a chance to take advantage of it.

"Since people can't catch it, then they have to find a way to push the trouble out, I suggest you focus on the consulate, to make them clear that this matter is completely their internal control is not strict, allowing the Chinese to take advantage of the loopholes, resulting in serious consequences."

Imai Yushi nodded repeatedly, this was exactly the same as his previous design, and he quickly said: "You are too right, I have already arrested the other two Chinese in the consulate, but they are both miscellaneous servants, their status is not high, and some of them are not enough!" ”

The implication is that they are ready to use these two Chinese as scapegoats, but they are a little unable to take action.

Ning Zhiheng frowned, he didn't want Imai Yushi to attack those two innocent people, so he then asked, "What about the other staff of the consulate?" Zhan Yuanliang has worked in the consulate for ten years, so there will always be colleagues and friends who know each other, right? ”

Imai Yushi spread his hands and said with some annoyance: "As for these people, I also summoned and questioned, but Consul General Hori did not cooperate at all and did not allow us to detain and torture the consulate staff. ”

There are also contradictions of one kind and another between various departments in Japan, and in order to shirk his responsibility, he will beat the personnel of the consulate into a trick, so that the initiative falls into the hands of the special high school, and it is not that you can say whatever you want!

So Gong Ichichun withstood the pressure and insisted on refusing to let Imai Yushi arrest him, the consulate behaved so toughly, even Junpei Uehara didn't want to really tear his face, besides, Junpei Uehara knew very well that this matter must have been done by Zhan Yuanliang personally, and it had nothing to do with other consulate personnel, so in the end, it didn't make Yushi Imai too ugly.

In this way, it is quite difficult to make Imai Yushi unflattering on both sides.

Ning Zhiheng heard this, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Uncle has his own considerations, now that Vice Chief Qing Shui is in Nanjing, you are persecuting too much, do you really want to tear your face with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" However, they can't push this matter cleanly, so let me put forward an idea, you think about it! ”

"Please sir!" Imai Yushi quickly nodded in agreement.

"In fact, although this time the movement is quite big, and there are a lot of poisoned people, but there are no important people here, and the actual loss is not big, the reason why the high-level wants to be held accountable is that they think that they are calculated by the Chongqing government, and their faces are not good-looking, what if we change our perspective? Involving this matter in personal grievances, let's just say that this Zhan Yuanliang was dissatisfied with some people in the consulate for personal reasons, and he became angry, so he decided to poison and retaliate, and everyone else was an innocent victim who was affected, what do you think? ”

Ning Zhiheng's words made Imai Yushi's eyes light up, this is a good way to get the best of both worlds, the most important thing now is to minimize the impact, if the case is raised to the level of confrontation between China and Japan, then this scene will be big, not only to offend the consulate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also to arrest the real culprit, track down the intelligence organization behind him, and even carry out retaliatory actions, his own troubles are still to come!

But if the big thing is small and only Zhan Yuanliang is positioned as an ordinary person, then there will be no burden on the consulate, there is no bullshit of the Kuomintang spies lurking, and the consulate has not neglected to say anything, but it is just a staff member's retaliation because of personal anger, and the nature has completely changed, and it can be said that everyone is happy!

But just after being happy for a while, he looked at Ning Zhiheng with some hesitation.

"What, you think there's a problem?" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, it stands to reason that his solution can be explained to all aspects of the past at present, and the face of the Japanese puppet government is also good-looking, Imai Yuzhi himself can shirk his responsibility, and even the military command Nanjing Station can also ease the pressure a little.

Imai Yushi explained: "If you say it, of course, it is the best result, but General Uehara is clear that Zhan Yuanliang is a hidden member of the Kuomintang military command nine times out of ten, so I don't know if the general can agree?" ”

"Imai-kun, you're too worried!" Ning Zhiheng laughed, "Uncle, let me explain, he is not a rigid person, he knows how to work, and he can press this matter down and reduce the adverse impact, which is also what he is willing to see, but you have to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and you can't relax the pursuit of Zhan Yuanliang, and you can't relax what you should do!" ”

Hearing that Ning Zhiheng was willing to take care of himself, Imai Yuzhi was overjoyed, and quickly nodded and said: "With Mr. coming forward, there is naturally no problem with the general, I just need to find a reason, and I can explain the past." ”

"Who are you going to choose for this?"

"Uchida Mingshan, vice consul of the consulate, this person has been poisoned and killed after the incident, and when the time comes, it will be said that this person has a conflict with Zhan Yuanliang, and Zhan Yuanliang has a grudge against him, so he poisoned him to take revenge!"

Ning Zhiheng's eyes lit up, and he smiled with his palms: "This candidate is good, his status is higher than Zhan Yuanliang, he is often in contact, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps, even if he doesn't, he can polish it, anyway, there is no proof of death!" ”

The two of them thought of one place in their hearts, and when things were settled, they all looked at each other and smiled, tacitly!

Ning Zhiheng immediately changed the topic and asked, "By the way, among the poisoned personnel, in addition to Uchida Mingshan and the clerk, have there been any deaths in the past two days?" Especially that biochemist Keisuke Ueno, how is he doing? ”

Although he was asking about Keisuke Ueno, in fact, Ning Zhiheng was most concerned about the officers of the Sixth Division such as Ichiro Nojima, of course, Keisuke Ueno was also an important figure, and his degree of harm to the Chinese military and civilians was even far greater than that of Ichiro Nojima and others, but Ning Zhiheng hated these executioners who participated in the Nanjing Massacre even more, so he paid more attention to these people.

Imai Yushi replied: "Two more poisoned people died yesterday, they were two high-ranking officials of the Nanjing government, and the others have already come to their senses, and Keisuke Ueno has also woken up!" ”

Ning Zhiheng was stunned when he heard this, how could this be, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Are you awake?" Didn't Dr. Shimada say at the time that the situation was not optimistic? ”

"That's true, but this time it's really lucky, we checked, Zhan Yuanliang's poisoning dose is not much, in order to expand the scope of poisoning, he also mixed in more alcohol, resulting in a very low concentration of potassium cyanide in the wine, after a day and a night of rescue, except for the four dead people, the others were rescued."

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, his heart suddenly sank, he didn't expect these guys to be so lucky, they actually escaped death and escaped this catastrophe!

"Ichiro Nojima and his colleagues were rescued?" Ning Zhiheng asked again.

"Rescued, the symptoms of their poisoning are relatively serious, and they only came to their senses this morning, but they are finally lucky, otherwise the pressure on my side will be great!" Imai Yushi replied with some joy that the result of this poisoning incident was still acceptable, and only four people died in total, and the loss was not large.

But when Ning Zhiheng heard this, he was very disappointed, Nojima Ichiro and Ueno Keisuke were all rescued, which was completely beyond his expectations, but with his temperament, if he wanted to get rid of some people, how could he give up easily, it was a big deal to do it again and give them a ride.

He raised his hand to look at the time, and said to Imai Yushi: "Imai-kun, I see that it is still early, why don't you accompany me to the hospital to take a look at these injured people, especially Nojima Ichiro, he is my countryman, he just got acquainted, he was originally going to get close, and now he is injured, which is just an opportunity." ”

When Imai Yushi heard this, he quickly nodded and agreed: "Of course, since it is a fellow countryman of Mr., he should really go and visit!" ”

Ning Zhiheng called Yi Hua'an, instructed him to prepare some nourishing gifts, and asked Kimura Maki to prepare the car, and the group left the residence and rushed to the Tongrenhui Hospital.
