646. The evidence is conclusive
Kawasaki was blinded by Kurata's slap, he never expected those Chongqing elements to appear in the Shenzhen River, if this is true, it means that these Chongqing elements did take the land route, through Castle Peak Road, Tsuen Wan, over Tai Mo Shan, to Lok Ma Chau, and then across the Shenzhen River, in order to reach Meilin Pass. However, the sentry guarding Castle Peak Road did not find that there was a person with a baby in his arms passing through Castle Peak Road, which is the only way to Tai Mo Shan, is there a second road leading to Tai Mo Shan? What's more, they didn't find anyone staying, resting, or camping in the Tai Mo Shan area, could it be that these Chongqing elements went all the way from Longwan Village to the mountains and mountains in one breath without pausing at all? Walking for forty or fifty hours straight? It's incredible.
"Kurata Nakasa, the sentries at the three checkpoints of Castle Peak Road at that time did report that they did not see people with babies passing through this place, and we did not find any traces of those Chongqing elements staying on Tai Mo Shan, could they have another passage through Tai Mo Shan?"
"You search me again." Kurata glared at Kawasaki.
"Hello." Kawasaki bowed and went out.
Kawasaki took the gendarmerie to Longwan Village for the third time, this time they gathered the villagers and asked about other paths to Tai Mo Shan, a sheep herder told Kawasaki that there was a small road that could lead to Tai Mo Shan, but that road was difficult to walk, full of thorns, moss, and tree branches, and the last time he walked on that road when he went to look for sheep, his body was scratched by the branches and scars, so he never went there again.
When Kawasaki heard this, he hurriedly asked the sheep herder to lead the way, and the sheep herding baby took Kawasaki's gendarmerie to the rugged path.
Kawasaki looked at the trail, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he wouldn't have thought that there was a secret path to Tai Mo Shan here. Kawasaki directed his soldiers along the trail for four or five hours to reach the halfway point of Tai Mo Shan, and then all the way up the hill to near the bamboo forest, where he saw a mark of fire in a clearing.
Kawasaki walked to the scorched place, squatted down, looked carefully, then looked around, walked to the nearby grass, and found a few stones with scorch marks, Kawasaki ordered the soldiers to pick up these scorched stones, and then put them together, and found that these stones could be built into a simple stove for cooking rice.
It can be seen that some people have cooked rice in this stove.
Kawasaki then divided the soldiers into four groups and looked for traces in the northwest, southeast, and northwest directions.
Finally, near a stream, a soldier found a rectangular piece of cloth with two tearing marks on both sides of the cloth, and two more strips of cloth near the bamboo forest. And it was found that this strip of cloth was the same pattern as this rectangular cloth, which should have come from the same piece of cloth.
Kawasaki placed the cotton cloth on the stone, and the two strips of cloth were placed on the fracture of the cotton cloth, which coincided, and this was clearly a baby's diaper.
Sure enough, Kurata said that these Chongqing elements did take Kotaro to pass through this place from this trail, and then paused here to cook rice, and then climbed over Tai Mo Shan from here, entered Lok Ma Chau, and finally encountered the water patrol of the Shenzhen River, a shootout, and finally ambushed Miki's team near Meilin Pass.
It seems that Kurata was not wronged in this slap on his own.
When Kawasaki put the evidence on Kurata's desk, Kurata had a relieved smile on his face, although his sixth sense told him that these Chongqing elements had been operating under his nose, and he had already guessed and deduced the whereabouts of these Chongqing elements, but he had never found any definite evidence to verify his speculation. But the problem is that these Chongqing elements from the mainland are not familiar with the place, how do they know that they can bypass Castle Peak Road and go straight to Tai Mo Shan from this rugged and inaccessible path? Without the locals as guides, it would have been impossible for them to take this route alone, and with the bullet casings found near Meilin Pass, it can be basically judged that these Chongqing elements have merged with the guerrillas in Baishilong Village. With the help of the Chinese Communist guerrillas, these Chongqing elements must have successfully evaded the many checkpoints they had set up, left Hong Kong, and arrived in Guangdong.
Kurata patted Kawasaki on the shoulder: "Kawasaki-kun, if you had been more meticulous at the beginning, maybe you would have caught up with those Chongqing elements, and Miki and they would not have died in vain under the guns of these people." ”
"It was a lowly mistake that brought great losses to the Empire, and I implore that it be punished."
Kurata smiled: "Kawasaki-kun, you have to learn a lesson, punish it, and you will be exempted." I know your loyalty, and I hope you never have a next time, and don't live up to my expectations of you. ”
"I must remember the teachings of Kurata, and I will always remember it." Kawasaki is grateful to Kurata for his open side.
"You go out first!" Kurata waved his hand to Kawasaki.
Kawasaki bowed and left Kurata's office.
Kurata has determined that these Chongqing elements have arrived in Guangdong with Kotaro, so which route should they choose to reach Chongqing? In Hong Kong, a small place, he was still unable to arrest this group of people and let them escape from under his nose, and after going to the mainland, it was even more difficult to find a needle in a haystack.
However, Kurata already had another more brilliant plan, that is, Li Daitao's plan, that is, the trick of replacing the tanuki cat for the prince in the Chinese household name "The Bao Gong Case", replacing Kotaro with the Chinese baby boy, and asking Dean Gray to perjury for them. In this way, even if those Chongqing elements went through thousands of mountains and rivers, went through a lot of hardships, and finally sent Kotaro to Chongqing, it would be a bamboo basket to draw water, because at that time, Miyazawa Shinichi would already regard the Chinese baby boy as his own flesh and blood, as long as the Chinese baby boy was firmly controlled in his hands, then Miyazawa Shinichi would have some scruples and would not cooperate with the Chongqing government, which fundamentally eliminated the concerns of the military department.
Now that Kurata has put Dean Gray under house arrest here, with Dean Gray testifying, this credibility will be greatly increased, but Kurata feels that it is not enough insurance, in case this Professor Gray leaks his mouth, or is condemned by his conscience and does not want to perjury, then his plan of Li Dai Taostiff will be self-defeating, so he also needs double insurance, so he turned his target to Li Mingyang.
Kurata picked up the phone: "Take Li Mingyang to the interrogation room." ”
