Section 7 Lightning XX

Zhuang Shu's last order in Lagu was to send the wine transcription Shaozuo to the military court. , qВ5, CoМ// Then board the ironclad car and go to Xinjing, in the small space of the ironclad car, Zhuang Shu picked up the files brought by Qingcheng Xiaoshan, and Qingcheng Xiaoshan put a lot of thought into these files, and put the tavern blood case file on the top.

The file in Zhuang Shu's hand at the moment is this file, this file is very detailed, divided into five parts, the facts of the tragedy, the background of the tavern and the staff, the identity of the victim, investigation and analysis, and unresolved questions.

Zhuang Shu looked very carefully, sometimes after reading it, he went back and read it again, sometimes he covered up his long thoughts, the officers in the ironclad car did not dare to disturb him, everyone was silent, only the dull and monotonous sound of the wheels and rails colliding, there was a radio station in the ironclad car to keep in touch with various places at any time, Zhuang Shu's order was quickly approved by Okabe Naosaburo, Lieutenant General Yokoyama, the commander of the continental railway, was placed under house arrest in Mukden, Tatetakanosuke and his assistants were all detained, and the head of the Harbin Guard Unit, Junzaburo Higashihara, was also detained.

When he arrived in Xinjing, an urgent telegram was sent from Harbin, saying that Harbin had been attacked by air, the garrison of Unit 731 had been bombed, and the warehouse and factory of biological and chemical bombs had been bombed, and the goal of the Air Force of China was very clear, that is, to bomb Unit 731, and the bomb warehouse and factory were the focus, and these two places were seriously destroyed.

This is bad news, but good news for Zhuang Shu, which greatly narrows the scope of suspicion. Zhuang Shu put down the dossier and picked up another dossier below, which was not written by Qingcheng Xiaoshan, but by Nishimura, who had already arrived at the Yasukuni Shrine. In this dossier, Nishimura lists his investigation of the failure of the previous Jizhong sweeping operations, the confessions of the captured GCD army prisoners, the speculation of the "Buddha head" of the prisoners of the military commandery, and the investigation of the members of the North China Dispatch Army Command, and the conclusion of this investigation is only left with a name on the paper in the end~

Tatsutaka no Suke.

The ironclad car in Xinjing "Xinjing Military Police Headquarters has already been greeted, Zhuang Shu called Qingcheng Xiaoshan to his car, Mitsubishi sedan quickly drove out of the station, after entering Xinjing City, the spring Xinjing Road is planted with tall poplars, lush, the whole city is shrouded in greenery "There is a kind of tension on the street, early in the morning, the bomber group of the "Chinese" country passed over Changchun, so that the citizens had a false alarm, there was a long queue in front of the grain store, the citizens were rushing to buy food, and the "police" and patrols on the street increased significantly.

Anti-aircraft guns and barricades were added in front of the gendarmerie headquarters, and several more guards were added at the gates"The gendarmerie headquarters building has also changed, with sandbags added to the windows, some of which are even nailed to wooden boards, and sandbags are piled up around the building, apparently reinforced.

After Qingcheng Xiaoshan got into the car, he thought that Zhuang Shu was going to talk to him about Litakanosuke, but Zhuang Shu didn't speak, and it wasn't until the car entered the headquarters compound that Zhuang Shu said calmly: "Qingcheng-kun, you and Nishimura-kun are both loyal samurai of the empire. ”

Qingcheng Xiaoshan's tense nerves relaxed suddenly, and he let out a long breath, as if the burden of a thousand catties had finally been unloaded, but Zhuang Shu patted the file again: "However, these can only be used as references, not evidence, and there is still a lot of work for us to do." ”

Qingcheng Xiaoshan nodded clearly, Litakanosuke is a general-level officer of the Japanese army, the second chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, the mastermind and promoter behind the war against the Soviet Union, he has made many meritorious achievements in Manchuria and North China, and has won the Order of the Rising Sun in the war against the Soviet Union.

"Is Kamei still in Beiping?" The car stopped, Zhuang Shu did not get out of the car immediately, and still sat in the car.

"No, he has already managed to transfer back to China, and Kamei-kun endured the humiliation and returned to China." Qingcheng Xiaoshan replied, with a strong hatred in his tone.

Zhuang Shu was stunned for a moment and understood that Kamei's return to China was to investigate Tatsunosuke in his homeland, but he was transferred back to China before the start of the North China War, and he was transferred back to China before the Great War.

Tatsunosuke was detained in his office in Shinkyo and after informing the special train and the warehouse of the army, Ritakanosuke knew that he would definitely be investigated, but he did not panic at all, and after handing over the information on the special train and the warehouse arsenal to the military commander, Wang Xiaoshan suggested that he evacuate, and after the attack on the special train, he would face unprecedented danger, but he refused, he wanted to stay here until the liberation of Korea.

However, he also immediately entered a dormant period and stopped all activities, and Wang Xiaoshan's instructions to him were that he could choose any way to ensure his safety in case of danger, and the military commander had been ordered to arrange his retreat route.

However, Tatekanosuke did not expect things to come so quickly, and everyone involved in the planning and action was detained the day after the attack on the special train.

All the people in Xinjing were sent to a military camp on the outskirts of the gendarmerie headquarters, and all meeting minutes and documents were seized. This barracks was originally a camp of the gendarmerie, the front was the soldiers' dormitory and the back was the prison, after the ** team approached Shanhaiguan, all the prisoners here were shot, and most of the gendarmerie personnel were transferred to the front line of Shanhaiguan, and they were kept here to deter them psychologically.

Sitting at the table, the paper in front of them was empty, and after they were sent here, they were separated and held in solitary confinement, and they were asked to write down their whereabouts in the past six months, including who they had met, how many times they had been out of the barracks, where they had been, and when they had done those things.

The door opened, and Tatsutakanosuke didn't look up, and the soldiers who came in told him to let him go to the conference room, they were not criminals yet, but they were just cooperating with the investigation. Tatsunosuke stood up and came out with the soldiers, and the detainees all came out of the room, they looked at each other, without any conversation, and everyone walked into the conference room in silence.

Zhuang Shu sat at the head of the conference room, and when he saw them coming in, he didn't get up and just said coldly to please take a seat, and then he looked down at the file in his hand, and they sat down in the order of their ranks, and Li Gao no Suke had the highest position and sat next to Zhuang Shu.

Ligao Nosuke didn't look at Zhuang Shu, but he knew in his heart that Zhuang Shu's purpose in putting on this appearance was just to put pressure on them, but for him, "It's not a big deal, he has already made up his mind, no matter what, Lao Tzu will bite it to death" You have no evidence, see what you can do to Lao Tzu.

Shoki still didn't speak, and Tatsunosuke decided to attack first, and he asked with a little anger, "General Shoki, we were also surprised by the attack on the special train, but we don't understand why we are being detained here!" This is an insult to the emperor's ** official! I want to protest to the Kwantung Army command and military headquarters! ”

Tatsutakanosuke's words ignited the anger of the detained officer, "The conference room immediately exploded, and the 11th Osa, who was in charge of arranging the special train, stood up in a rage: "General Shoki." We serve the Empire and cannot accept this disgrace! ”

, "General Zhuang Shu! Why did the gendarmerie command take this approach? Even if you want to investigate us, you don't have to treat us the way you treat the prisoners! "Tatsutakanosuke's assistant Tanabe Osa also questioned, these officers are all out of the way, regardless of Shoki is the oldest in the conference room"

The highest rank and highest position, regardless of the restrictions of rank in the army.

Zhuang Shu sneered twice, picked up the file and slammed it on the table, and the conference room suddenly fell silent, "Although the officers didn't speak, their expressions were still indignant.

"I just came from Lagu, the corpses of the imperial army at Lagu station are piled up, and the blood is flowing like a river, and it can be concluded from the situation at the scene that it was the government army of China who ambushed the special train" They stayed at the Lagu station for at least three hours, and even boiled water and prepared food, which shows that they knew in advance that the special train would stop at the Lagu station. What does this mean? I think you all know. ”

The conference room was suddenly quiet, and Zhuang Shu looked over one by one, only Tachitakanosuke looked at him, and there were doubts and grievances in his eyes, and there was confusion: and the others did not dare to look at him.

, "No wonder Qingxian Bushan and Nishimura have been chasing for five years, and there are no clues at all, this is a very cunning guy." Zhuang Shu said in his heart.

"General Ligao, you are the chief responsible for the retreat, I want to know why you chose to stop at this Shanib station in Lagu?" Shoki single-handedly went straight to Tachitakanosuke, and he had to slowly disintegrate him.

"The things sent by the special train were decided, and the special train could not stop in big cities, so we chose the small station of Lagu. Tatetakanosuke replied without changing his face, this question had been expected for a long time, and it was taken into account when making the plan, and this reason was enough to deal with.

"Then why is the escort so weak? Zhuang Shu continued to ask.

"The military department demanded that the backbone of the 731 force must retreat at the same time, and at the same time take away the core information and some bombs of the 731 unit, and one train can only hold so much, so we have added an ironclad car, which is already the maximum protection. Tatsunosuke was calm, and it was impossible to find a flaw in his answers.

But Zhuang Shu's purpose is not this, these two questions are just to make Tachitakanosuke relax, he paused for a while, so that Tachitakanosuke was a little proud, and then suddenly said: "Just now I received a report from Harbin that the bungalow area was heavily bombed, and the Chinese army attacked with incendiary bombs, and all the bombs and factories left by the troops were destroyed. Judging by the clear attacks of the Chinese army, among those who know the distribution of the special train and Unit 731, we have reason to suspect that there are spies of the Chinese among you. ”

This conclusion immediately blew up the officers in the conference room, and most of the officers thought that this was just a responsible investigation, and the biggest one was just a leak, and they never thought that it was actually a spy trackdown, which was beyond the scope of ordinary investigation.

Zhuang Shu seemed to be looking at everyone, but the corner of his eyes was always hanging on Tachitakanosuke, and Tachitakanosuke seemed to be a little surprised, but he recovered quickly, and he frowned slightly.

"Your Excellency, I can't imagine who among us is a spy, and you have a basis for drawing such conclusions? Tatsunosuke sneered in his heart, he deliberately lowered the density of the special train, causing many officers in the Xinjing Headquarters and high-level officials in Harbin to know that there was a special train to be sent out in the near future, which was also the biggest reason for his refusal to retreat.

"It's such an old fool!" Qingcheng Xiaoshan was anxious and disappointed outside the door, the strategy adopted by Zhuangshu was very unsuccessful, and if Tatsutakanosuke was so easily breached, then it would be impossible for him to hide for five years.

Shoki's strategy failed from the start, they shouldn't have been detained at all, only by letting them move could they find the flaws, Tachitakanosuke was the overall responsibility for the entire retreat, and he could have taken many ways to cover up his actions and make the failure of the operation seem reasonable, which is his usual method.

Qingcheng Xiaoshan frowned deeply, and Zhuang Shu in the room sneered twice: "Isn't it obvious?"

If there were no spies to provide accurate train itineraries, how could the Chinese army be able to accurately ambush Lagu? With no one to provide information, how could the China Air Force find 731 in the Pingfang area so accurately

Troop warehouses and factories? How do you explain it? ”

Tatsutakanosuke smiled in his heart, old thing, your abacus was wrong, but his appearance was still the same, he shook his head slightly, and looked up at Zhuang Pestle.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this conclusion is hasty" Tachitakanosuke's attitude was very sincere, and his tone was relatively slow: "The news of the special train can be obtained from the train dispatch, Unit 731 has been in Harbin for many years, and before going to Harbin, it was also attacked by the Anti-Japanese Federation, so to speak, the secret of Unit 731 is not a secret in Harbin and the high-level of Manchukuo, but these people don't say it, we are just deceiving ourselves." The reason why the Chinese Air Force did not bomb there before, I think, is that before the victory in the Battle of North China, the Chinese Air Force was unable to bomb Harbin. ”

"Your Excellency, the officers here are all long-tested Imperial warriors who have performed meritorious service to the Empire in war, and I can't believe that there are spies among them. ”

Zhuang Shu fell, Ligao Nosuke's words were not invulnerable, but for a while, he didn't know where to start fighting back. With his hesitation, the officers' momentum rose again.

"Your Excellency, I will bear our responsibility, whether it is to go to a military court or apologize, I accept it, but Your Excellency thinks that we are spies, I can't accept it. Having said that, Tanabe Daisa's expression was obviously dissatisfied, and there was a sense of anger in his words.

"Hmph, what to do with you is up to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Military Department to decide" As he was saying, an officer came in from outside the door, walked quickly to Zhuang Shu, and handed Zhuang Shu a telegram, Zhuang Shu's expression changed slightly after reading it, and he said after a while: "The military department called, the military department's investigation team has set off from Tokyo and will arrive in Xinjing within two days to conduct a comprehensive investigation of this incident." Commander Okabe ordered that all personnel be released from detention, but their passes were withdrawn and they were not allowed to leave Shinkyo. I'll add one more, you must write down your whereabouts in the last half a month and hand them over to me, and everyone must be on call. ”

"Yes!" They got up and answered.

The first round ended like this, and Tatsutakanosuke was very satisfied, and when he went out, he noticed the Qingcheng hill next to the door, so he greeted him, and the Qingcheng hill also responded with a smile.

After their backs disappeared, Qingcheng Xiaoshan walked indoors, making no secret of his disappointment. But Zhuang Shu smiled at him, and then shook his head slightly: "Young man, don't be too anxious, sometimes, let your enemies be proud for a while." ”@。
