Chapter 2: The Assassin in the Shadows (Part 2)2
The man smiled, slipped his phone back into his pocket, and looked up at the gloomy sky, which looked like a rainstorm was about to wash the ground of Tokyo, sweeping away the ups and downs and taking away the summer heat a bit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"It seems to be raining that day, too." The man muttered to himself. Before he could finish speaking, a cold raindrop smashed on his face, shattering into smaller droplets and scattering in all directions. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of the man's eyes. Standing in the pouring rain.
Ye Zifeng always loves to sleep, and when he sleeps, he always misses something important. It's like when I was in elementary school, the Chinese teacher left an essay "If I Am a Spider", the teacher left after the assignment, after class, Ye Zifeng went to ask his classmates, when the classmate said the name of the essay Ye Zifeng was startled, but the teacher's order could not be violated, Ye Zifeng went home and meditated and wrote an essay, handed it in the next day, and he became famous on the third day, when the teacher took the essay written by Ye Zifeng "If I am a pig" stood on the podium and pointed to Ye Zifeng and shouted, "I let the writer be 'spider' You wrote me one' 'Pig', are you sincerely angry with me" when Ye Zifeng even had the heart to die, and endured the laughter of his classmates on the spot, and secretly swore in his heart that I would never sleep again in the future, and fell asleep just after sitting down, fortunately, the teacher did not leave an article like "If I am a spider" on this day, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginableγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Ye Zifeng still remembered that Ye Kexin took his composition to each class exhibition, and when he went home, he couldn't stop laughing, and Ye Zifeng walked around as soon as he saw Ye Kexin at school, and he also left the sequelae of being slightly wary of Ye Kexin now.
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Sheng, Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye." A faint voice came into Ye Zifeng's ears, and after Ye Zifeng shook his head slightly, he sat up suddenly.
"Hehe, maybe Mr. Ye didn't rest last night, okay, I'm really sorry, I called Mr. Ye to come to the meeting early in the morning." A chubby standard Japanese uncle stood at the front of the conference room, looking at the sleepy-eyed Ye Zifeng and smiling slightly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yamamoto, I was sorting out the materials last night and slept a little late."
Ye Zifeng yawned loudly, and then rubbed his sleepy eyes, which were still a little worried. In fact, Ye Zifeng was telling the truth, he was indeed sorting out the information that Ye Kexin sent him last night, but this truth seemed a little changed in the ears of Keiichi Yamamoto. Is this young man really sorting out the information?
For Yamamoto Keiichi's arrangement, Ye Zifeng was really a little insensitive, at about ten o'clock last night, Ye Zifeng, who was thinking about the action steps, was suddenly startled by the knock on the door, although Ye Zifeng was a little dissatisfied, but still politely said, "Please come in, the door is not locked." But when the door was pushed open, Ye Zifeng was really startled, and a young woman who didn't add up to two taels of cloth walked in with square steps, even if Ye Zifeng was a little dazed at first, but he immediately figured out what was going on, and at the same time figured out whose arrangement it was. It is impossible to say that Ye Zifeng is not impressed, after all, he is young and vigorous, but how to say that Ye Zifeng's feelings for Xia Lu are absolutely real, and this woman is not as good-looking as Xia Lu wears clothes. So Ye Zifeng immediately got up, made a gesture of invitation without saying a word, and at the same time took out a five-thousand-yuan bill from his pocket and stuffed it into the woman's hand. The woman didn't show any dissatisfaction, after all, she still got the money, and it was a double portion, so Ye Zifeng, who was right with a smile on her face, nodded, and said politely "γγγγΏγͺγγ (good night)" After that, there was a square step of how to come in and how to leave.
"Whew." Ye Zifeng let out a sigh of relief, shook his head helplessly, and thought of this episode last night Ye Zifeng was helpless. After the woman left, Ye Zifeng was originally as quiet as an old monk's heart and did not wave, and immediately became like a stone entering the water, no, it was like a meteorite entering the water, setting off a monstrous wave, and Ye Zifeng's previous clear thinking suddenly disappeared, and Ye Zifeng, who had no ideas, wanted to sleep, but he couldn't even close his eyes, and he didn't close his eyes until three o'clock in the morning, and before seven o'clock, Ye Zifeng was sent by Keiichi Yamada to hold a meeting.
"Hey~" Ye Zifeng sighed helplessly.
"That's a summary of what happened." Keiichi Yamamoto pointed to the eyebrows listed on the whiteboard behind him with Japanese writing, then looked at Ye Zifeng and said with a smile, "Does Mr. Ye have any opinion on this matter?" β
"Ah, call me." Ye Zifeng, who was drowsy again, was once woken up by Keiichi Yamamoto, "There are a few doubts about this matter in my opinion, Mr. Yamamoto." β
Ye Zifeng got up from his seat, walked to the whiteboard, first glanced at the dense structure diagram of Japanese hiragana and Chinese characters on the whiteboard, frowned, and then turned the whiteboard around: "I don't know if you can understand Chinese?" β
"No problem, Mr. Ye." Keiichi Yamamoto smiled and nodded, a seemingly flattering smile on his face that was full of wrinkles.
"That's good." Ye Zifeng nodded, picked up a whiteboard marker on the conference table next to him, and pulled out the cap, "I took a look at the materials summarized by both of you on the plane and found a few suspicious points. First, there was a blood-stained white note next to each of the slain commissioners, which deserves our attention, but when I read the materials again, I found that there was no blood-stained note found on the bodies of the second slain commissioner and Deputy Minister Mr. Inoue Yasushi, but the first suspicion. The second suspicion, when I read the materials, I thought that the military rank of these murdered commissioners was getting higher and higher every time, and I wondered if this could be a pattern, which was the second suspicion. The Third Admiralty clearly stipulates that the commissioners are obliged to carry the armed guns at all times, but when I took a look, the only of the five commissioners who were killed was Mr. Yasushi Inoue who carried a 'Magnon' pistol, and the other four commissioners did not find any trace of the armed guns, which is the third suspicion. The above three points are what I have summarized. Anyone who has a question can mention. β
"May I ask Mr. Ye, what do you think this blood-stained note has to do with this murder?" A high-ranking commissioner from the Japan branch raised his hand and asked.
"I don't know, but the commissioner of the Moscow branch wrote this in the autopsy report, probably because they found something suspicious. Tell me what you think, Professor Nina Ivanovich Rogova."
"We don't have any special insight on that." Among the Moscow commissioners sitting on the left side of the conference table, a middle-aged woman with blonde hair and a slightly wrinkled face answered Ye Zifeng's question, "We have listed all the things found from the murdered commissioner, and there are only these few in total, as for why there are bloodstained notes in them, I don't know." β
"But I took a look, why didn't I list the items on the second commissioner?" Tap the first doubt on the whiteboard with a whiteboard marker.
"That's because, but when the body was found, he was wearing only a pair of pajamas and no pockets." Nina responded.
"Then have you searched Ensign Koyamada's apartment?" Ye Zifeng then asked.
"There was no search, and the police were only five minutes behind us. The police have cordoned off the scene and are not allowed to interfere again. Nina shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, expressing regret that Ensign Koyamada's room had not been searched.
"I see." Ye Zifeng nodded silently, "Then it seems that all we have to do is ask the police for a list of items in Second Lieutenant Koyamada's room." β
"I've sent someone to ask for it, but the police are very tough and don't allow us to interfere." Keiichi Yamamoto opened his mouth and said, with a slightly angry expression on his face.
"Why don't you let us intervene? It's our people who die. Ye Zifeng said puzzled.
"Because the police said that before they were commissioners of the Security Council, they were Japanese citizens. That's the exact word. β
"Hmph." Ye Zifeng snorted heavily, "This list is very important, once it is found that there are things similar to bloodstained notes in Koyamada's room, then it is certain that this note has an unusual relationship with the murder case." If the police don't give it, they will tell them that we will use force. β
"By force?" Keiichi Yamamoto was taken aback, "Is this appropriate?" Wouldn't it be nice to give them some money? β
"Then why didn't you do it before?" Ye Zifeng glanced at Yamamoto Keiichi coldly, "I don't care what method you use, I will see a list on the desk in my room at this time tomorrow, otherwise I will use my method to solve this matter." Do you understand? β
"Understood, understood." Keiichi Yamamoto nodded hurriedly, horror written on his fat round face, and cold sweat slid down Keiichi Yamamoto's face like rain.
"Then I'll leave this matter to Mr. Yamamoto, now let's look at the second suspicion." Ye Zifeng's expression immediately softened. Keiichi Yamamoto's contempt and disdain for Ye Zifeng in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace. Originally, Keiichi Yamamoto just thought that this so-called Admiral Ye Zifeng was just the noble son of the famous family in the Admiralty, and the person who came pretended to solve the problem and put forward some constructive suggestions, and then the family asked the military department to give him credit. But from the time when Ye Zifeng listed three doubts on the whiteboard just now, Keiichi Yamamoto was a little skeptical about his previous thoughts, can a noble son who can only put on a flower shelf analyze these three points with his own ability? But then I think about it, how can the other party say that it is also a famous family, and there should be more than one capable and intelligent person in the family, could it be that he spent money and asked others to help analyze it? There is a possibility. Thinking like this, Keiichi Yamamoto's evaluation of Ye Zifeng's improvement just now immediately dropped. But he didn't think about it, and he still underestimated this admiral of the Admiralty Fleet who was only twenty-one years old. The previous eyes are definitely not something that can be seen by a noble son who has come to mix qualifications, and it is even more impossible to buy it with money, even if it is a sky-high price to invite someone to teach, it is impossible to learn so vividly and vividly in a few hours, and then again, it is not certain whether anyone is willing to teach. There is a sense of command in this, and the eyes that will make people unconsciously obey at a glance must be in the continuous grinding, and the majesty that will only be reflected after experiencing the rain of bullets. And it seems that a person who is quite weak will use force at every turn, which doesn't sound like a good stubble. True, people should not be disguised.
"As for the rank of the murdered commissioner, to be honest, no one really thought about it on my way back, but the whim of lying in bed last night when I couldn't sleep last night is not really substantiated." Ye Zifeng looked at the printed Chinese materials in his hand and said, "Then what about adding the position of each murdered commissioner in the Japanese branch?" β
The last sentence is more like self-talk. Ye Zifeng picked up the whiteboard marker, and according to the instructions on the information, he started the pen behind the names of the commissioners listed.
"Corporal Hiroshi Muto's position is that of a sniper in the Special Operations Group." Ye Zifeng wrote the word "sniper" after the three Chinese characters of "Muto Hiroshi".
"Second Lieutenant Shinchi Oyamada is an intelligence officer of the Intelligence Section." Ye Zifeng wrote the word "intelligence officer" after the five Chinese characters of "Koyamada Shenzhi".
"Captain Yasuhiro Ikari is the direct commissioner of the headquarters." Ye Zifeng wrote the words "Action Commissioner" after the three Chinese characters of "Ikari Taihong".
"Major Shigeru Tanaka is the head of the First Intelligence Section." Ye Zifeng wrote the words "Chief of the Intelligence Section" after the three Chinese characters of "Shigeru Tanaka", and then whispered to himself, "It's Lieutenant Koyamada's boss." β
"The last person killed, Colonel Yasushi Inoue, head of the Japanese branch." Ye Zifeng wrote the word "deputy minister" after the four Chinese characters of "Inoue Yasushi".
Finally, Ye Zifeng covered the cap of the whiteboard marker. Some of the people sitting on either side of the week were staring at the list on the whiteboard, some were bowing their heads slightly in contemplation, and some were whispering discussions with the people next to them, as if saying things like "why didn't I think that before?"
"Let's think about it together, what is the relationship between these five positions, and what processes operate through these five positions in turn? Or is there any process that will require these five positions? Ye Zifeng opened the conference table, looked at the list on the whiteboard, and while sitting down, he was also pondering the question he had just raised in his heart.
"Could it be the confirmation of the 'Shadow'?" This is a high-level member of the Japanese branch who raised his hand to speak.
"Tell me about it." Ye Zifeng turned around, looked at the senior of the Japanese branch, and pointed at him with a whiteboard marker.
"That's right, although it's a little inaccurate and not in order, but to confirm the identity of the 'Shadow', it is a position that is not much different from these positions." The senior official said, "First of all, we need an assassination incident, we will send an emergency response team, there will be snipers in it, and then it will be transferred to the intelligence department, and the section chief will convey the task to a certain intelligence officer, and then send the assigned intelligence officer to investigate and confirm, and then the summarized materials will be handed over to the head of the intelligence section, and then the section chief will reorganize the information and hand it over to the deputy minister, and finally the deputy minister will issue an arrest order for the direct operations commissioner to complete." β
"Is that so, Minister Yamamoto?" Ye Zifeng listened, his eyebrows furrowed, and as soon as the senior level finished speaking, Ye Zifeng immediately asked Keiichi Yamamoto, and the title of Keiichi Yamamoto was also changed from the previous "Mr. Yamamoto" to "Minister Yamamoto", and he looked like he was completely businesslike.
"That's right, Mr. Ye, he's right." Keiichi Yamamoto was also listening to the high-level speaker, and then nodded and answered Ye Zifeng's question.
"Hmm." Ye Zifeng also nodded, "Is it to confirm the identity of the 'Shadow'?" β
"Yes, Mr. Ye." The senior who spoke nodded in acknowledgement.
"Listening to you say that, will it be revenge?" Ye Zifeng said.
"It's very likely." At this time, Professor Nina from Moscow spoke, "According to our experience, everyone in the 'Shadows' has a strong friendship with each other, and they see each 'Shadow' as if they were their own relatives, and some of the 'Shadows' will really take revenge if they know that their comrades have died at the hands of the Admiralty, and this has happened before, but most of them have happened in the rainforests of South America, and this is the first time that such an incident has happened in a city." β
"Then we'll include 'revenge' in the motive for killing." Ye Zifeng nodded in agreement after hearing this, "But I think there must be other processes that will go through these five positions, but we won't take up the time in the meeting to discuss this matter, everyone go back and think about it, call me as soon as you have a clue, and I will keep the phone on from six o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening." Now for the next one. On the issue of equipping guns. β
Speaking of this, Keiichi Yamamoto was startled, and his fat body shook slightly on the seat, attracting Ye Zifeng's attention.
"What's wrong, Mr. Yamamoto, what's uncomfortable?"
"No, no, I just didn't sit down."
"Didn't sit still?" Ye Zifeng glanced at the wide chair that Keiichi Yamamoto had reluctantly put into it and matched it at the conference table, "That's the case." So does Mr. Yamamoto have any opinion on this matter? β
"I don't have a problem with that, but we have always followed the Admiralty's regulations that every commissioner carry a McGnon pistol at all times, and that they are allowed to shoot at any time in the event of an emergency. Especially after the murder of Second Lieutenant Koyamada, everyone never left their guns and was always vigilant. Keiichi Yamamoto pinched a cold sweat. It seems that this fleet admiral did not know about the fact that the Japanese branch allowed the use of lethal bullets, this matter was carried out secretly, and only Ye Kexin and a few other people in charge were notified, and it stands to reason that Ye Zifeng should also be notified, but in view of Ye Zifeng's lack of intention to manage things on the ground, he was not notified, and Ye Kexin did not mention the use of lethal force by the Japanese branch in the information, so Ye Zifeng really does not know now.
