Chapter 1069 You Are All Suspects
Shunsuke Yuzu uttered a single word, "No," then paused for half a second, "This wasn't found in the autopsy."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Yuzu-kun. Go back and submit the report to Hanaya Tadashi."
Yuzu Shunsuke nodded, got up and left, and Niu San'er saw him out.
When Niu San'er returned, Lin Ze instructed, "Call Director Gao and have him take away all the records from the telephone bureau yesterday related to the transfer of calls within the inner city."
Niu San'er asked, "Master, should we destroy it?"
Lin Ze shook his head. "Don't destroy it. Let Lao Gao keep it safe. This is already a great help to Yuzu Shunsuke. If it's destroyed, and something happens to Yuzu Shunsuke in the future, it will be hard for us to explain if someone with ulterior motives finds out. Tell Director Gao to find any case, check the records under the guise of an investigation, and then seal it up."
An hour or so later, Hanaya Masashi, who had just received the autopsy report, called excitedly: "Commander Lin! There was definitely something wrong with Li Shiqun's death! He had a deadly bacterium in his body, as well as a mixture of atropine. He was murdered!"
Lin Ze exclaimed in surprise, "How could such a thing happen! Mr. Hanaya, your investigative abilities are widely recognized. In your opinion, who could have done this?"
“I have reported to His Excellency the General. His Excellency instructed that the investigation should focus on the group of people who came to Beiping with Li Shiqun. I originally suspected Kishida and his group, but His Excellency the General said that Li Shiqun and Kishida were on a secret mission together…”
At this point, Hanaya Masashi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Commander Lin, after Yuzu-kun reported to me, I didn't think much of it. In order to let the General know the situation in time, I called the General to report first."
So, a leopard can't change its spots. Even if Hanaya Masashi were tricked to death, he deserved it. His petty and showy personality would never change until his death.
Hanaya, as the hope of the Hanaya family, was used to being praised since childhood and liked the feeling of being surrounded by a halo. So when he went to the outside world, he always liked to show off and take credit, afraid that his superiors would not notice him.
"Hanatani-kun, you did the right thing. It's only right to let the General know first. Since Li Shiqun's companions are highly suspicious, what do you plan to do? They're not small fry. That Tanabe Kenzai is the commander of the military police..."
Hanaya Masashi, relying on his family background, can be said to have no one to his name except for Hayashi Ze and Okamura Ninji.
Upon hearing this, Hua Gu immediately said, "Commander Lin, please rest assured. So what if he is the commander of the Nanjing Military Police? I am still the commander of the Beiping Military Police. He is now a major suspect, so he should cooperate with my investigation. The more he does not cooperate, the more guilty he is. I will take men to arrest them right away!"
Lin Ze reminded him, "Toyotomi Kiyoto is only a major general, so you should be more polite to him."
Different people will interpret the same words in different ways.
If others heard Lin Ze's words, they might think that Commander Lin was right to remind me, and that I should be more cautious and low-key, since he has high-ranking officers.
In Hanaya Masashi's ears, Lin Ze meant: Do it! Do whatever you want! The only one on the other side is Toyotomi Kiyoto, who has a higher military rank than you, and he's just an old codger, below the rank of major general. Do whatever you want!
"Ha! Commander Lin, I'll go arrest them right now!"
Six Nations Hotel.
Kenji Tanabe was drinking tea, while looking out the window with a worried expression.
This morning, an attendant reported that Li Shiqun had not come downstairs for breakfast. The attendant went to knock on the door, but no one answered. Li Shiqun's secretary lived in the next room, so when asked, he also did not know where Li Shiqun had gone.
Tanabe's original plan was to have Li Shiqun die in a room at the Six Nations Hotel, then quickly send someone to guard the body and report to Nanjing. As long as the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army ordered him to transport the body back to Nanjing for investigation, the matter would be considered accomplished.
But now this is really strange, where did Li Shiqun go?
Did he realize something was wrong and go to the hospital on his own?
A cold smile appeared on Tian Bian's lips. Li Shiqun was infected with amoeba. The hospitals in Beiping probably had never even seen this stuff before. He wouldn't survive no matter where he went.
Summoning his attendant, Tanabe asked, "Is Miyamoto still refusing to return the grain to us?"
The attendant whispered, "He insisted that the grain had been delivered according to the contract..."
Tanabe cursed under his breath, but there was nothing he could do. Strictly speaking, it was actually quite reasonable to say that Miyamoto had fulfilled the contractual agreement. Moreover, Miyamoto was no ordinary person and could not be easily manipulated. This guy had connections in Tokyo, and Tanabe Kenji was quite wary of him.
He wanted to continue his promotion and couldn't afford to make enemies for official business.
“Send a telegram to Nanjing and tell them that the matter of military rations is really complicated. Gu Baoheng has been claiming illness and has not shown up. Miyamoto insists that the rations have been delivered and is unwilling to discuss it further. The North China Governing Committee emphasizes that they only played the role of an intermediary and that the subsequent matters are none of their business. Therefore, we ask Nanjing to send another capable person to come and make arrangements. We can’t keep dragging this out.”
The attendant nodded and prepared to send the telegram.
"Wait, report to me immediately if there is any news about Li Shiqun."
"Yes!"
Before the attendants even left the house, chaos erupted outside. First, there were several angry shouts, and then a gunshot rang out!
Tanabe was shocked. This was the Six Nations Hotel, where celebrities and dignitaries stayed. Moreover, because people from Jinling were staying here, the patrol forces around the area had been strengthened. How could there be gunshots!
He quickly pulled out his pistol and then gestured for his entourage to go out and check.
Without a doubt, the gun belonged to Masakazu Hanaya.
He led a large group of men to arrest people. When they arrived at the floor where the Nanjing people were staying, the Japanese soldiers from the Nanjing Expeditionary Army Headquarters and the Nanjing Military Police Headquarters who had come with them tried to stop them.
Hanaya Masaka doesn't care about anything else; anyone who dares to obstruct the investigation will be arrested.
Soon, the men from the Nanjing Military Police Headquarters backed down, after all, this wasn't their territory.
The people who entered the headquarters of the expeditionary force were used to being arrogant. One of the officers responsible for protecting Toyotomi Kiyoto even drew his gun to confront him, so Hanaya Masashi decisively fired a shot.
The other side quieted down. Although they didn't know what had happened, the fact that this colonel dared to fire meant he had something to back him up.
After a while, Toyotomi Kiyoto and Tanabe Kenji both came out of the room.
Toyotomi Kiyoto, his face grim, immediately launched into a tirade: "You idiot! I recognize you, you're Hanaya Tadashi? Give me an explanation for why you forced your way into our lodgings, why you opened fire and caused trouble, who are you trying to scare?! Do you really have no respect for the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army?!"
Hanaya stood at attention and bowed, but his words were anything but polite: "Major General, I absolutely respect the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army, but right now, you are all suspects."
