Chapter 52: Solving the Case within a Time Limit
In the building of the Xiamen puppet government in the middle of the night, the lights are bright and the figures are shaking, which makes people uneasy.
In Li Zaixin's office, Li Zaixin seemed to have a bad premonition, and he kept pacing in the room, when the phone rang rapidly.
Li Zaixin hesitated for a moment, and then grabbed the phone with a nervous face: Hey, hey, I'm Li Zaixin.
A hurried voice on the phone: "Mayor Li, the 'Sightseeing' cruise ship was bombed and sunk, you have to immediately start investigating all the people who know the news, if you can't find out, I'll ask you." ”
Li Zaixin was stunned for a moment, the telephone microphone fell off his hand, and it fell on the table with a "clang".
He was so enraged that he grabbed the glass on his desk and slammed it to the ground, splashing the glass and tea leaves.
Hearing the sound of the fall, two policemen hurriedly walked in to take a look.
"Get out of here, get out of here!" Li Zaixin screamed hysterically, so frightened that the two of them hurriedly retreated.
It was raining, and the sea was foggy.
Li Zaixin stood by the sea, staring blankly into the distance, letting the rain hit.
Hong Xingtai held an umbrella and hurriedly walked over, hurriedly supporting Li Zaixin.
Li Zaixin looked at the choppy and hazy sea level and was silent. His face was tired and haggard.
Hong Xingtai, who was holding an umbrella, looked up at the sky, walked over and persuaded: Mayor Li, it's raining heavily, go back!
Li Zaixin stood still and did not move. He said with a tearful face: "There are so many Japanese officials and important people from Taiwan who have died on the 'Sightseeing' ship, isn't this asking for my old life, how can I explain to the Imperial Japanese Army!" ”
Hong Xingtai patiently persuaded: "You can't be blamed for the bombing of the 'Sightseeing'!" The anti-Japanese elements are so rampant, you just have the art of doppelganger, and there is nothing you can do about it. ”
Li Zaixin said bitterly and hatefully: "I am the mayor of the Xiamen Municipal Government, I proposed the plan, I came up with the idea, and now that such a big thing has happened, can I get out of it!" ”
Hong Xingtai comforted: "That can't be drenched here, let's go back first, and then find a way to deal with the Japanese." ”
Li Zaixin listened and walked forward slowly. As he walked, he regretted and said: "In the first place, I shouldn't have given them this idea, I was shooting myself in the foot, I, I regret it!" ”
Hong Xingtai answered: "Your hard work, the Japanese Imperial Army will understand." Besides, the bombing of the 'Sightseeing' on the sea, it was the Japanese who did not take good care of it, so what does it have to do with you? ”
Li Zaixin sighed and said, "It's useless to talk about this now, let's see how we can escape this catastrophe!" ”
Both of them walked forward with a heavy heart.
At the enemy's Xiamen garrison headquarters, the Japanese puppets were holding an emergency meeting.
On Miyata's desk was a dense list of people killed on the sightseeing boat.
Miyata seemed to be reading a telegram, and he seemed to bow his head in silence in the house.
Uchida sat on the sofa with an expressionless face.
After about a minute, Miyata raised his head and roared with a gloomy face: shame, shame for the Imperial Japanese Army.
Li Zaixin, Hong Xingtai, and Tamura Takanori, the head of the Xiamen secret service, stood aside, so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.
"Report!" With the voice spoken, a Japanese officer walked in and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, the Navy Department has a secret telegram. ”
Commander Miyata hurriedly took the secret message and hurriedly looked at it.
The Japanese officer left Miyata's office with amusement.
Tamura Takanori looked at Miyata and asked in a low voice: Miyata-kun, did the Admiralty's telegram mention any suspicious people, such as when boarding the ship at the dock and when the "Sightseeing" was moving......
Miyata handed the message to Uchida with a heavy heart, and Uchida gave it to Takanori Tamura with a stern expression after reading it.
Takanori Tamura looked through the telegram, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Admiralty headquarters suspects two people, one is Kanako, Akutsu's personal doctor, and Onodaichi, the crew member of the 'Sightseeing'. According to a telegram from Japan, Mr. Akutsu was killed shortly after boarding the ship, although he was invited to board the Sightseeing. ”
Uchida asked with a look of surprise: "Akutsu was killed after getting on the ship, that is, he was killed by anti-Japanese elements, so the person who played Akutsu and his so-called "personal doctor" are anti-Japanese elements?" ”
Takamura nodded and said: It should be like this.
Miyata said suspiciously: Just the two of them, blow up such a large and heavily guarded sightseeing number, I still don't believe it, I'm afraid there are still their accomplices, anti-Japanese elements working cunningly.
Tamura Takanori gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I must find a way to find out the identity of these people!" ”
Li Zaixin took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency, the anti-Japanese elements in Xiamen and Gulangyu are extremely rampant, and I think they must have done it. ”
Uchida waved his hand: Mayor Li, your judgment is not entirely correct, and some of the people who participated in the bombing of the sightseeing ship have already been hidden among us.
Tamura Takanori asked puzzledly: "Mr. Consul General, you said that there are spies of anti-Japanese elements among us?" ”
"Hmm!" Uchida further analyzed and said: Without their help, it would have been impossible for the anti-Japanese elements to obtain information about the "Sightseeing."
Uchida interjected: In this way, they have mastered the whereabouts of the "Sightseeing" in advance, and this is the top-secret information of our high-level!
Miyata nodded slightly.
Tamura Takanori: Your Excellency, I analyze that this incident may have been committed by the Kuomintang Chongqing government.
"So, we have their spies inside!" Miyata asked.
"It's not inside us, it's inside the city government!" Tamura Chong said this, looked at Li Zaixin again and said: "Yesterday, the 'Snow Wolf' said in a secret telegram that she found an unknown radio signal in the East Block, and she failed to lock on to the target and find out the clear location due to the short time. The city hall is located in the East Block, and this signal is very likely to come from the city hall. ”
Li Zaixin suddenly sweated, and he hurriedly defended: Commander Miyata, this is absolutely impossible, the east block is so big and very messy, who knows where the signal came from.
He turned around and said to Tamura: Chief Tamura, this is a matter of human life, you can't wronged people!
Tamura Takanori looked at him coldly: Wronged people, the people in your city government are the most suspicious!
Li Zaixin hurriedly defended: Commander, I am loyal to the Imperial Japanese Army, and I don't have the slightest half-heartedness!
Commander Miyata waved his hand and said: "I will leave this matter to the two of you to investigate, and you must work together to make every effort to crack it, and you must find out the enemy's radio station and hidden spies within 10 days."
"Yes!" The two of them answered.
Uchida, who had rarely spoken, stood up and said with concern: "Looking back at the rebellion that has occurred since the Imperial Japanese Army regained Xiadao, all kinds of indications show that there is an invisible spy network in Xiadao, which may be from Chongqing or Yan'an, and they collude with Gulangyu Island to assist each other, such as the bombing of the Sightseeing Ship and the parade of 10,000 people on Gudao, and there is a certain close connection between them, which has caused great harm to the Imperial Japanese Army's governance of Xiadao and the implementation of the policy of 'governing China with China.'" What we urgently need to do at present is to strengthen our espionage work, increase our strength and equipment, and find the key to this spy network. On the one hand, it is necessary to start from Xiadao, strengthen the investigation and interception work, and find the anti-war elements hidden inside; On the other hand, it is necessary to start with Gudao and ask the consulates on the island to cooperate in arresting the organizers and leaders of the anti-Japanese activities, and strictly interrogating them to find a breakthrough. ”
When the Japanese puppet people heard this, they couldn't stop nodding their heads and applauding.
