"Why is the section chief so sure that Yokohara Waner committed suicide, I think it is more likely that he was killed by Xiao Wang, you must know that when I captured him, he had already explained some questions, why didn't he commit suicide immediately at that time, but now he wants to commit suicide? What was his motive for committing suicide? ”

Geng Chaozhong asked his question in one breath.

In Geng Chaozhong's opinion, Liu Yiban's attitude was very strange, when he first saw Fujiwara Wan'er die, he was really surprised, and the action of retreating and advancing did not seem to be intentional. But later, when Geng Chaozhong led a few staff members to chase him out, Liu Yiban's performance was a little strange, as if he had a certain psychological preparation for Xiao Wang's performance, or was it simply a performance of his immobile general's style?

"It's simple, because this Yokohara Wanji is my man." Liu Yiban said calmly.

"Ah?!!!h

Geng Chaozhong opened his mouth wide, and an unbelievable expression appeared on his face, this expression was not fake, he really didn't expect that this Hengyuan Waner was actually sent by Liu Yiban!

"Why?"

Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but ask.

"There's no why, it's just a routine review. Everyone who joins our Party Affairs Investigation Division is subject to a background check. You are no exception. ”

Geng Chaozhong suddenly fell silent.

Sure enough, joining the Party Affairs Investigation Section was not as easy as I imagined. A secret service is definitely different from the general government function, especially for a person who can be the captain of the operation, he will be scrutinized more closely.

Liu Yiban looked at Geng Chaozhong's expression and seemed to be a little gloating.

"Xiao Geng! On the first day you came, I told you that the recruitment of the task force must strictly prevent the infiltration of the Red Party and the Japanese. Looks like you're not listening. Of course, you're not a Red Party, but you live in a place that is too close to the Japanese. I had to order Kokomi to do a background check on you because you are important to me and I don't want you to be a Japanese. ”

"But this guy is Japanese, I'm absolutely sure of that." Geng Chaozhong's expression was still confused.

"Yes, he is a Japanese, but first of all, he is a man. People have weaknesses. His weakness is his family. He followed his family to China at the age of fifteen, and his mother is now in our hands. ”

Geng Chaozhong sighed, family affection, this is the eternal weakness of human beings, and it is also the greatest advantage of human beings.

"That Xiao Wang must have called the Japanese to tell the news of Yokohara Wan'er's arrest, and the Japanese gave instructions to Xiao Wang, asking him to instruct Yokohara Wan'er to commit suicide. This is easy to understand, so I won't say more. ”

"Let's go check the phone number that Xiao Wang just dialed now!" Geng Chaozhong blurted out.

"It's late."

Liu Yiban sighed.

"I have already figured it out just now, since Jiro Tongno chose to commit suicide, then the situation of Yokohara Waner being rebelled by us must have been discovered by the Japanese, and it was originally their plan to let Yokohara Waner die. I don't even want to see how Tong Ye died. It's pointless. ”

"All our clues, a line that I worked so hard to manage, just broke off."

Liu Yiban sighed again, then turned around and walked out of the door of the interrogation room, with Geng Chaozhong following closely behind him.

"You don't seem disappointed, though." Geng Chaozhong spoke behind Liu Yiban's back.

"What am I disappointed about? This Yokohara was only a very unreliable insider, and deep down he was far more loyal to the Emperor than to me, and with so little information he had provided us, I suspected that if I pushed him too far, he would probably die. On the contrary, his death brought me two benefits. First, I dug out the inner ghost of Xiao Wang. Second, prove your loyalty - since you sent Fujiwara to the Party Affairs Investigation Division, you have already proved your loyalty, which is more important to me. ”

Geng Chaozhong was silent, it seemed that it was a wise decision to bring Yokohara Waner back to the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau.

Liu Yiban led Geng Chaozhong up the stairs and returned to the section chief's office.

"Sit down!"

Liu Yiban pushed open the door and sat down on the sofa first, and then motioned for Geng Chaozhong to sit beside him. After Geng Chaozhong sat down, Liu Yiban turned over two teacups from the table, and then poured Geng Chaozhong a cup first, and Geng Chaozhong was flattered to take the teacup.

"In the first afternoon, the Qing court captured the first Japanese spy Ishikawa Wuyi, Ishikawa Wuyi confessed soon after being tortured, and then implicated the Qing court's first spy case against Japan, and finally captured Zhong Qi Saburo of Zizhuyuan Pharmacy, traitor Gao Shun, Mu Shi and a large number of Japanese spies. When I was in Nanjing, I read the melody of Lang Zhirui, who was then a squire of the Military Aircraft Department, and there were many Japanese spies in it, including many officers of the Beiyang Department, and finally Li Hongzhang tried his best to protect them. ”

Although the Father of the Nation relied on the power of the Japanese when he opposed the Qing Dynasty, at the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the ambitions of the Japanese. The principal is even more aware of this, even if there is no Party Affairs Investigation Section, there will be other departments engaged in espionage work against Japan, such as the Second Department of Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, which has always led the work of espionage against Japan. After Director Xu took office, in addition to dealing with the Red Party, he also continued to study the working methods of Japanese spies. ”

"Use the soldiers first, this is a sentence that Director Xu often says to me."

Geng Chaozhong nodded, indeed, the role of spies in the war is no less than that of a million troops, and the defeat of the Qing court in the First Sino-Japanese War has a lot to do with the defeat of the intelligence war in the first place.

"Cai Zhikan's theft of Tanaka's folds shows that our espionage work against Japan is actually very effective, and the section chief does not need to worry too much."

Geng Chaozhong saw that Liu Yiban's mood was a little low, and comforted.

"Of course, if our Republic of China can't even catch up with the Qing court, what's the point of revolution?!"

Liu Yiban's emotions suddenly became excited, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, and drank it all.

Geng Chaozhong suddenly felt that Liu Yiban was not useless - in addition to the dispute between line and doctrine, it was obvious that every Chinese still had a higher level of common belief, which was also the soul of Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years.

Geng Chaozhong picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

The two were silent for a moment, and Geng Chaozhong suddenly spoke:

"Section chief, I think you are too pessimistic about this case, although Jiro Tongno and Yokohara Waner are dead, but they will not be without clues, we will definitely be able to find clues!"

"Oh? What are your thoughts? Liu Yiban drank a cup of tea, as if he had drunk a glass of wine, and a trace of blush appeared on his face.

"Section chief, since this case started because of me, of course it will end in my hands. What's more, I didn't find the poison on Yokohara, otherwise Yokohara wouldn't have died, and I was responsible for this matter. But I have a question, is Yokohara Wanji following me on your instructions or on the instructions of Jiro Tongno? Geng Chaozhong asked.

"It was because of Jiro Tongno's instructions, he didn't follow you at first, as you said, he was ordered to investigate the Japanese residence, but later when Koji did a background check on you, he found out that the Japanese actually investigated where you lived. So I asked Yokohara to wait for you to come back, and then do an investigation with you by the way. ”

Liu Yiban replied very calmly.

"Well, the line isn't broken, at least they're still interested in the house, or in me." Geng Chaozhong's eyes flashed - if he thought well, Jiro Tongno must be the "sweeper" who did the finishing work for Zhang Zongyuan's identity. ”

"You're right." Liu Yiban's eyes also lit up, "You just told me that your house was rented by an old Japanese lady, and you may find a little clue from this aspect." ”

Liu Yiban held the teacup in one hand and the tealid with the other, constantly rubbing the edge of the teacup, making a stabbing sound. After a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and spoke:

"In this way, you follow the case of this Japanese spy, and Ding Weizun is in charge of the case of the Red Party gunman. Don't interfere too much in the routine monitoring of the Japanese secret services, and leave everything to Ding Weizun. ”

"Obedience!"

Geng Chaozhong stood up and saluted Liu Yiban.
