Zhai Teng and everyone had breakfast in the lobby, they said goodbye to each other, Bei Canggang to personally lead the convoy to escort General Zhai Teng and senior officials to Suzhou, General Zhai Teng and Nanjing's staff officers will also make some military defense arrangements for the New Fourth Army in Suzhou, Zhai Teng saw him hanging his arm, smiled and shook his hand; "Forget it, Kitakura-kun! Your mind has been received by the general, and you are still wounded, so you don't need to go, just call your men to escort you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Since General Saiten spoke, Kitakuraoka was no longer stubborn, and if he didn't go, he and Yokohama Yoshiko, Nojima and many other officers reluctantly sent Saiten and other senior officials into the car, and Saiteng and the senior officials also waved goodbye in the car window.

The huge convoy set off slowly, with five motorcycles in front of it, followed by two off-road jeeps, in the middle were the sedans of Sai Teng and the high-ranking officials, and behind were four large military trucks, all of which were equipped with machine guns in the cabs of the trucks, and the soldiers of the gendarmerie of the Special High School Division had increased to more than 100 people, and they were escorted by large trucks with machine guns, led by Nishizawa, Yoshino, and Ogasawara, so there should be no problem with safety.

After the convoy had set off for a long distance, the officers of Yokohama, Nojima, Kitakuraoka, and the garrison returned to their own army garrison battalions and gendarmerie units.

Until dinner was about to be in the evening, the phone in Kitakuraoka's office rang urgently, Kitakuraoka hurriedly picked up the earpiece, and Nojima's anxious voice came from the earpiece; "Beicang-kun, come to my office, something is wrong!"

When Kitakuraoka heard this, his heart was stirred, and an ominous omen swelled up, since General Saiteng and the high-ranking officials left, he faintly felt as if something big had happened, he didn't want to think about it, quickly put down the earpiece, ran all the way out of the special high school building, to the main building of the military police headquarters, and rushed into Nojima Daisa's office.

Nojima sat behind the desk with a decadent look on his face, and when he saw Kitakuraoka coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said to Kitakuraoka; "When General Zhai Teng was about to arrive in Suzhou, he had a heart attack in the car, and after being sent to the hospital, the rescue was ineffective, and now the jade has returned to the sky, Beicangjun, what do you say to do now?"

Rao is Kitakuraoka, the experienced and tenacious section leader, heard this, and only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, he hurriedly held the desk with his hand, stood for a moment, and calmed down a little before asking; "What the hell is going on, I haven't heard that General Zhai Teng has a heart attack? He's always been energetic and energetic, and you see that he drinks with a big glass of wine, not at all like he has a heart disease? ”

Nojima's little eyes kept beating, the muscles of his cheeks kept twitching, and his voice was a little hoarse; "After all, General Zhai Teng is an elderly person, is he very happy in our place these days, drank more alcohol, caused a heart attack accident, and was in the car at the time, delaying the treatment time, you and I are to blame?"

Kitakuraoka was really startled, but then reacted and asked; "Your Excellency, didn't the military doctors in the hospital find out what caused the general's heart disease?"

Nojima shook his head and replied; "Just now, the commander of Suzhou, Lieutenant General Xiaolin, and the head of the Xiaolin Division, probably mentioned on the phone, and the military doctors are still investigating the cause of General Zhai Teng's heart disease, is it induced by any drugs? But there are no results yet. ”

When Bei Canggang heard this, his brain immediately sorted out the life and dining process of General Zhai Teng in the past few days, especially last night, General Zhai Teng and the dancing green bead girl had a moment of face-to-face drinking, but that was all supervised under his own nose, there should be nothing abnormal, it was only a momentary time, under her own keen eyesight, that girl did not have time to put any medicine in General Zhai Teng's wine glass, could it be that it was really excessive drinking that induced General Zhai Teng's heart disease? But he vaguely felt in his heart that something was wrong there, and he couldn't say anything about it, so he immediately urged Nojima Road; "So what are you waiting for? Let's rush to Suzhou immediately and urge the military doctors to investigate in the hospital. ”

Nojima replied as he walked over to the coat hanger next to his desk, took the belt and tied it around his waist, and hung up the command knife; "I'm also waiting for General Yokohama, okay, let's go downstairs and wait."

Kitakuraoka and Nojima hurriedly walked downstairs and came to the empty dam in front of the main building, Yokohama Yoshiko had not yet come, so the two of them stood in the empty dam and waited, Kitakuraoka instructed the soldiers standing guard in front of the main building; "In the past, I called Matsuzaki Shaoza, who was in the special high school, here."

Matsuzaki Shaosa used to be an officer of the gendarmerie, and the soldiers of the gendarmerie knew him, and the soldiers standing guard immediately ran to the building of the special high school, and after a while, the soldiers standing guard came to the main building of the gendarmerie with Matsuzaki Shaosa.

Matsuzaki stepped forward and urgently faced Kitakuraoka Michi; "Your Excellency, Section Chief, I was also about to look for you, as soon as you left on your front foot, Nishizawa and they called from there, saying that General Zhai Teng had a heart attack, and after rescue in the hospital, it was ineffective, and the jade had been shattered and returned to the sky, and Nishizawa and they were also panicked over there."

Kitakuraoka glanced at him and nodded; "I know, I'll rush to Suzhou as soon as the Yokohama generals like Nojima Osa and others arrive, and I'll work hard for you to stay in class." After speaking, he leaned close to his ear and whispered; "After we leave, you will go to Xunyuan for a while to see if the Miss Sakurako who plays the piano is still in Xunyuan, if she is here, Haosheng will interrogate her, but pay attention to the way, don't be reckless, if not, forget it, don't alarm others."

Matsuzaki nodded blankly, and couldn't help but whisper in surprise; "Could it be that the section chief suspects that the dancing green bead girl, what did she do? Is there any evidence, why don't you just arrest the two girls first and then interrogate them? Because he has been leading the gendarmerie convoy to escort the round-trip trips of high-ranking officials in Nanjing for the past few days, he was fortunate to witness the wonderful piano skills and dance performances of Amber and Green Beads on the second floor of Xunyuan with Nojima Osa, Okamura Nakasa, and Nishizawa Nakasa last night, and knew that it was the section chief who suspected the two girls.

Kitakuraoka glared at him and snorted softly; "No, I'm just suspicious, there is no evidence, if you blindly arrest people, it's just a joke to spread it, and it will damage the prestige of General Zhai Teng, this kind of thing can only be investigated secretly."

At this time, the sound of the horn of the car sounded outside the military police headquarters, and the guards standing guard raised the stop bar to let the incoming cars pass, three motorcycles with light machine guns, two off-road jeeps, two carrying soldiers, and the military trucks with light machine guns on the roof of the front cab drove into the empty dam in front of the main building of the gendarmerie, and the whole convoy stopped, and Yokohama Yoshiko poked her head out of an off-road jeep in front of her and greeted Nojima and Kitakuraoka; "Get in the car!"

Nojima and Kitakuraoka hurriedly stepped into Yokohama's off-road jeep, and the convoy turned around and drove out of the gendarmerie, which was the direct guard of the commander of Yokohama's brigade, and they were all brave and capable officers and soldiers.

The convoy drove all the way, out of the east gate of Yuxi County, and set foot on the road to Suzhou, all the way Yokohama Yoshiko Tie blushed, did not speak, Kitakuraoka cautiously tentatively asked; "Your Excellency General, General Zhai Teng has been very happy and happy in our Xiaoxi County for the past few days, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, the bad news came, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and his subordinates all regretted it."

Yokohama Yoshiko let out a long breath and said leisurely; "Alas, this is what the people of China often say, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, the general has worked hard for the prosperity of the empire all his life, and he did not expect such a result, looking at his physical condition should be very good, how can he suddenly have a heart attack, which is very surprising? The general's life is a glorious life, a model monument in our army's military circles, when the empire is employing people, he should not abandon us, my father-in-law got this bad news I don't know how sad he is? Okay, let's not say anything now, wait until we get to the Suzhou Army Hospital and get the authoritative conclusions of those military doctors. ”

After that, Yokohama Yoshiko really stopped talking, silent all the way, the convoy of the guards directly under the Yokohama Brigade traveled starry night, trekking through mountains and rivers, all the way fast, until the dawn was about to break, the convoy finally arrived in Suzhou City, it was too late for breakfast, Yokohama Yoshiko ordered the convoy to go to the Japanese Army General Hospital in Suzhou City.

The convoy arrived at the Japanese Army General Hospital in Suzhou, the commander of the Japanese garrison in Suzhou, Lieutenant General Kobayashi, and those high-ranking officials stayed in the hospital, and they were on the phone with Yokohama Yoshiko, so they were waiting for her in the hospital.

Yokohama Yoshiko took Nojima and Kitakuraoka directly into the office of the hospital director with only a few simple polite words to those high-ranking officials, especially the staff officers who came with General Saiteng in Nanjing, who were terrified and waited outside the office with their eyes.

The dean and several attending doctors received Yoshiko Yokohama and others in the dean's office, and the dean personally introduced the cause of Saiteng's death in detail, and concluded that the drinking excitement was excessive, which caused the heart to accelerate palpitation and failure, and failed to arrive at the hospital for rescue at the first time, they dissected the body, sampled and tested the blood, and did not find any poisoning factors, so it was concluded that the deceased suddenly drank a lot of alcohol and caused heart palpitations and failure, missed the rescue time and died, but the deceased had three very small needle holes in the back of the head, shoulder and neck, I don't know how it happened, I asked the adjutant of the deceased, and the adjutant didn't know how the three needles came about, and the adjutant introduced that the deceased had been energetic before his death, and he had never seen a doctor or taken any medicine, and he never drank excessively.

There was silence in the office, and Yoshiko Yokohama stared at the death certificate for a long time before speaking; "So the general's death was caused by sudden excessive drinking, excitement and cardiac convulsions, and failure to rescue in time, so that the general was honored and martyred? There are no other indirect human harms, such as poisons, stimulants and other drugs that induce heart disease in the deceased? ”

The dean confidently affirmed; "Your Excellency General, please believe that all of you here are the best doctors in the Empire, and the medical level of our Great Japan is also world-class. With that, he pointed his finger at an older doctor with a beard.

Yokohama Yoshiko, Nojima, Kitakuraoka and Suzhou, the commanders of Hangzhou all looked at Professor Yamamoto, who was old and bearded, and Yokohama Yoshiko said politely; "Professor Yamamoto, tell me what you think!"

The professor doctor called Yamamoto coughed lightly and spoke; "I have been engaged in medical career for decades, and especially for China's silver needle Chinese medicine, should be very researched, I know that China's Qihuang medical skills are unfathomable, the effect of silver needles is unique and magical, the deceased's head shoulder and neck area of the needle eye is inexplicable, with my understanding of Chinese silver needles and Chinese medicine, this seems to be a very simple needle eye, in fact, it is pierced in the back of the human body head and shoulder Yuzhong acupuncture point, this acupuncture point belongs to the hand sun meridian veins, that is to say, The assassin can pierce this acupuncture point through the silver needle, so that the medicine on the silver needle can penetrate into the acupuncture point and the sun meridian veins of the hand, and then slowly approach the heart through the flow of blood, once it is close to the heart, the drug will stimulate the heart and be thrilled and excited, accelerate the pulse and reach the heart instantaneous failure, at this time, if not treated in time, the person will suffocate to death, so I suggest that it is necessary to conduct a complete investigation into who the deceased had contact with and what he did within 24 hours before his death. ”

Yokohama Yoshiko frowned, thought for a while and asked; "There is another question, this silver needle is pierced on the human body, people will feel it, General Zhai Teng will not have no reaction? Besides, the silver needle is coated with medicine, haven't you done a variety of tests, and there are no results? Professor Yamamoto, can you elaborate on that a little more? ”

Professor Yamamoto explained; "As far as I know, China's herbal Chinese medicine is vast and confusing, with a wide variety, especially in the southern Xinjiang region, which is rich in all kinds of poisons and herbal medicines that make people drowsy and excited, this kind of medicine only slightly carries some toxins, but it can achieve excitement and excitement to the moment of heart failure, and China's silver needle is the world's most magical acupuncture, it pierces into the human body, can make people feel nothing, or a very slight feeling, let people disagree, of course, the above is only based on my subjective assumptions, the evidence has to be found by yourself."

After Yokohama listened, she was silent and said to Professor Yamamoto for a long time; "Thank you Professor for providing us with these clues, we will definitely open a case for investigation," she said, standing up and saying to the dean and the other doctors; "Thank you! Please take good care of General Zhai Teng's body, and we will arrange for his body to be returned to the Nanjing Headquarters. ”

Walking out of the doctor's office, Yokohama Yoshiko and others went to the morgue under the leadership of the doctor to pay respects to General Saiteng's remains, and General Saiteng's appearance after his death was quite calm and peaceful, and there was no trace of pain.

After paying homage to the remains of General Saiteng, Yokohama Yoshiko instructed the commander of Suzhou to prepare to return the general's body to the city of Nanjing immediately.

The commander of the Suzhou Division, the commander of the Kobayashi Division, immediately arranged for his subordinates to do the same, and after a while, the vehicles and the armed personnel to escort were ready, and the two commanders of Suzhou and Hangzhou were to personally escort the body of General Zhai Teng back to Nanjing, and Yokohama Yoshiko was also to personally escort him, and she ordered all the people of Nojima and Kitakuraoka to return to Yuxian County.

Kitakuraoka asked to follow him to Nanjing City, Yokohama Yoshiko did not agree, Kitakuraoka was a little incomprehensible, and asked quietly; "Your Excellency the General still suspects that General Zhai Teng is secretly being manipulated in our county?"

Yokohama shook her head and said; "It doesn't matter if you suspect or not, there is no evidence, the investigation is a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, and if you don't get it, you will take the responsibility for General Zhai Teng's victimization in our Luxun County on our heads, the military department and the Tuben Command will track it down, I am afraid that all of us in Yuxun County will be governed by the military court, although I respect Uncle Zhaiteng very much, but so far, it can only be so, if you are injured, go back to recuperate, I will go to Nanjing to explain this matter to the military department."

The commander of the Japanese garrison in Suzhou, the commander of the Kobayashi Division, led the Japanese military police in Suzhou to prepare the vehicles and load Zhai Teng's body into the car, and the senior staff officers who returned to Nanjing still sat in the car, and the other Japanese generals such as Zhenjiang and Ningbo did not follow to Nanjing, but were personally escorted to Nanjing City by the Japanese commanders in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Yokohama Yoshiko and her direct guards followed the convoy to Nanjing City.

After seeing the convoy depart, Kitakuraoka and Nojima led them to escort the gendarmes and vehicles from Suzhou back to Yushu Prefecture with Nishizawa, Yoshinomi, Ogasawara and others.
