At six o'clock in the morning of April 26, Zhou Chengbin, who had changed into a Chinese tunic and wore a top hat, took Zhai Yanmin to the Rising Sun Wharf, where the freighter Hercules had been anchored for nearly half a month. Katsuei Tanaka arranged for four plainclothes police officers seconded from Nanjing to take turns on duty, and they did not know who they were guarding against. This hiding place is known only to Li Shiqun except for him.

Zhou Chengbin got on the passenger ship, and without waiting for the policeman on duty to ask, he took the initiative to hand over the documents and a note, and said: "I came to work on my business by the order of Director Tanaka, this is my ID, and there is also an official letter written by Director Tanaka." ”

The documents were originally real, and after Zhao Jingdong was imprisoned, he moved his dormitory, and Liu Zezhi left it behind. The official seal on the note is also the official seal of No. 76, which is a fake package, and only the signature of Katsuei Tanaka is forged by Liu Zezhi. The two policemen on duty were not familiar with Katsuei Tanaka, nor did they have sharp eyes, so of course they couldn't see any flaws. I took it very responsibly, looked at it carefully, and handed it back.

Zhou Chengbin calmly instructed: "You are here to guard, and no one is allowed to disturb you." He said to Zhai Yanmin again: "You are also here to be vigilant." ”

In the cabin, Ruan Bo woke up again in the early hours of the morning and could no longer sleep. He gently covered his daughter with the quilt and sat in the dark in a daze. The sky is white, and a new day is coming. Suddenly, a man stood in front of him, and he felt a chill in his heart, and a cold murderous aura enveloped him. The man's voice was low but could not be refused: "Come out with me!" ”

It's finally time to come! I don't know why, at this moment, Ruan Bo actually felt a burst of relief. He looked greedily at his sleeping daughter and gave up resistance. What made him give up resistance was not only the 38 pistol with a silencer installed in Zhou Chengbin's hand, but also endless regret and entanglement. Before the last moment came, the instinct to survive made him flee and fear. This moment really came, except for the guilt and reluctance for his daughter, the fear was gone, and death was another relief for him. He obediently came to the outer world.

"I'm Zhou Chengbin, do you have anything else to say?"

Ruan Bo smiled bitterly: "You are finally here, I know that sooner or later there will be such a day." I'm sorry...... I know these three words are ridiculous to say right now, but trust me, I'm forced to do so...... Because I'm a father. ”

“…… If possible, I will find a way to take care of your daughter and minimize the damage to this child. ”

Ruan Bo nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhou Chengbin handed over a red capsule: "High-purity potassium cyanide, ten seconds, no pain." ”

Ten minutes later, Zhou Chengbin walked out of the cabin and said to the policeman guarding the door: "Hard work. Director Tanaka specially explained that this person is very important, and his safety must be protected. After the task is completed, Director Tanaka will ask the Nanjing Municipal Police Station for credit for the few of you. ”

The two policemen were very happy, thinking that this person was much better than the one who came two days ago, who was also No. 76, at least he knew the hard work of others, unlike that person, who didn't even say a word except for the necessary explanation. Alas, to talk about this errand, which can be regarded as a peace of mind, is to guard a man with a child, who rarely speaks all day and basically does not leave the cabin. It's just too deserted, and it would be better if you really got a commendation and got some benefits.

As soon as I got to work on the 26th, Tanaka Shengrong, who got the news, fell and sat at his desk, what happened, Ruan Bo was poisoned? He was stunned for a while, and then went to report to Li Shiqun: "Director Li, there is important information that needs to be reported to you......

Li Shiqun waved his hand to stop him, and asked with a calm face, "I have already received the news." Tanaka-kun, only you and Secretary Ni know about Ruan Bo's whereabouts, and according to discipline, I will temporarily detain the two of you. Someone came - put Director Tanaka and Secretary Ni in a confinement room. ”

Tian Chengxi, the captain of the action team, was ordered to investigate, and after half a day, he basically figured out the ins and outs: "Director Li, at six o'clock this morning, two people who claimed to be No. 76 went to the Hercules with an official letter from Director Tanaka, saying that there was something to investigate. By the way, that certificate actually belongs to Zhao Jingdong. The name written on the official letter is also Zhao Jingdong. The visitor stayed on the freighter for only half an hour before leaving. At about eight o'clock, Ruan Bo's daughter Weiwei woke up to find her father dead in the room outside, and the child was frightened and cried, which alarmed the guards. This is the official letter, please take a look at it. The two police officers on duty have been temporarily detained. ”

Li Shiqun picked up the official letter and looked at it, the paper used was a special official letter paper No. 76, which read: I hereby send Zhao Jingdong, the team leader of our office, to meet with Er and other special personnel in charge of security and security, please cooperate with the handling. Signed by Katsuei Tanaka,

"Has the cause of death been clarified?" Has this letter been authenticated? Zhao Jingdong? He should be in Beiping, right? You check his whereabouts. ”

"After verification, Zhao Jingdong is indeed in Beiping. As for how his documents got into the hands of the murderer, he can only wait for him to come back and ask about it. The results of a preliminary autopsy also came out, confirming death from poisoning, and the deadly drug was a high-purity potassium cyanide. There were no signs of struggle at the scene. The killer also did not leave valuable clues. This official letter has also been authenticated, and the official seal on it is genuine, and Tanaka-kun's signature is forged. Director, my subordinates ordered the two policemen who had seen the murderer to describe the murderer's appearance, and ordered the Forensic Identification Section to draw two portraits, please see—"

Tian Chengxi opened the text folder, and two portraits were presented side by side in front of Li Shiqun: the person on one of the portraits was a fresh face; The other portrait is Li Shiqun's all-too-familiar opponent - Zhou Chengbin!

Sure enough, it was him! An unspeakable exhaustion struck, and the nightmare began again...... Li Shiqun rubbed his temples, closed his eyes, and didn't open his mouth for a long time.

Tian Chengxi waited for a while, and had no choice but to ask again: "Director Li, according to the procedure, it is necessary to interrogate Director Tanaka and Secretary Ni immediately." Do you think you will come forward in person, or will your subordinates do it for you? ”

Li Shiqun replied with a strong spirit: "You go and make a record for the two of them first, and then report to me." Go ahead, tell Liu Zezhi that no one should come and disturb him. ”

"Yes, the subordinates are retiring, director, you can rest for a while."

Tian Chengxi walked out of Li Shiqun's office, Liu Zezhi quickly got up and whispered to him: "I heard that something big happened?" The guy named Ruan Bo died. In the morning, the director locked Ni Xin and Director Tanaka in confinement......"

Tian Chengxi wanted to say: Can you change your problem of asking around for news? I was afraid that I would say it too directly and offend people, so I swallowed it back when the words came to my mouth, and said with a helpless smile: "Director Li is very tired and wants to rest for a while, and I tell you that no one is allowed to disturb you......"

Liu Zezhi nodded and responded: "I know." I wanted to say something, but I heard Li Shiqun call in the inner office: "Liu Zezhi, you come in." ”

Liu Zezhi hurriedly agreed, and said as he walked: "The director called me, I'll go first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

Li Shiqun asked: "I heard Ni Xin say that after he interrogated Ruan Bo, he also wanted to talk to you about the murder of Shan Mu Longsan's wife, what did he say to you?" ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "Ni Xin didn't look for me, it shouldn't be too late, right?" I said that, Ruan Bo was killed, of course Tanaka-kun is the first suspect, he is in charge of guarding the guards, what does it have to do with Ni Xin? It turned out that Ni Xin had gone to Ruan Bo and interrogated him about the homicide case he was responsible for taking over the re-investigation. Alas, this unlucky ghost, he can't wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River this time. Only he and Tanaka-kun knew that Ruan Bo did not go to Japan, and the suspicion was too small. ”

Li Shiqun asked again: "So you really think that Ruan Bo stayed in Shanghai and did not go to Japan, and the scope of insiders of No. 76 is only Tanaka Shengrong and Ni Xin?" ”

Liu Zezhi hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to deceive the director, in fact, my subordinates had doubts before, but I didn't dare to inquire about things that had nothing to do with me, let alone spread." But...... My subordinates think that except for a few people like me who are sharp thinking and observant, it is impossible for others to know, right? Tanaka-kun's Tibetan location and secrecy work are still impeccable. I just suspect that the person didn't leave, but I never imagined that Ruan Bo would be hiding in that place. ”

Li Shiqun looked at Liu Zezhi and did not speak. Liu Zezhi was a little confused, and hurriedly continued: "This is all the director's cultivation, after all, by your side, you are talking about your life, and you are growing much faster than others." ”

reminds me of what Ni Xin said: Anyone who is a little scheming knows that at least they are suspicious, even those like Liu Zezhi who don't care about everything. Looking at Liu Zezhi's confident appearance, Li Shiqun really couldn't cry or laugh: "Liu Zezhi, Liu Zezhi, you feel good about yourself, I am really surprised." Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. After Zhao Jingdong was imprisoned in Tilanqiao Prison last year, you took people to vacate his dormitory, right? What was done with his personal belongings? You go and check the work log, especially the various documents, guns, and documents, who handled them, and where are these things now. Give me a report. When was Zhao Jingdong scheduled to return from Beiping? ”

"May 1st, do you need to send a telegram from your subordinates to urge him to come back early?"

"Don't rush in a day or two, let him do it according to the original plan. When he comes back, you can take him to me. I called General Kagesa and said I wanted to meet him and see when the general was free. ”

Liu Zezhi took the order and left. Li Shiqun pondered: What Ni Xin said was really not bad, and even Liu Zezhi saw the flaws. In this way, although there are not many insiders in No. 76, it is not only a few such as Tanaka Katsuei and Ni Xin. That mysterious undercover agent, although he doesn't know who he is, but he has fought several times, his mind is delicate, and he is not surprised, especially the strength of his heart, which is not under Zhou Chengbin. But Tanaka Katsuei is actually difficult to live up to under the fame, and it is just a façade. Could there really be a problem with this Katsuei Tanaka? Falling into the hands of the Chongqing military commander, is it so easy to escape? Hijacking Guo Xuan, Guo Xuan is so easy to be held hostage? The original doubts in the depths of Li Shiqun's heart, who were suspicious, were gradually magnified.

Soon, Liu Zezhi came in and reported: "General Yingzuo said that he also wants to meet you, please come over now." The shogun also said that General Ono was also there. ”

"Prepare the car, you go with me."
