Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1065 Solving a Case is Like Putting Together a Jigsaw Puzzle

Just as Hanaya was confronting Kishida Shoji, the military police finally discovered Li Shiqun's body.

"Commander-in-Chief! Commander-in-Chief! There's a body here!"

Hanaya Masayu gave Kishida Shoji a smug look before quickly entering the club.

When he saw the corpse on the floor, he felt a subconscious unease.

Li Shiqun's death was extremely gruesome!

The person's face became extremely ferocious due to spasms, turning bluish, with pale lips, and eyes wide open, the pupils dilated and staring straight ahead, as if still looking at something.

Hanaya quickly began to analyze the situation: poisoning?

This doesn't seem quite right. If it were poisoning, the lips wouldn't be this white. Looking at the corpse, the color of the face does seem to suggest poisoning, but the other parts don't seem quite right.

Could it be that he has suddenly fallen ill with some serious disease?

His subordinates brought out a flash camera to take pictures, and someone compared the photos with publicly available photos of Li Shiqun, confirming that the deceased was indeed Li Shiqun.

Hua Gu waved his hand, "Seal off this place. I will send more people over. No one is allowed to approach this place without my order!"

"Hayi!"

As they left the club, Hanaya taunted Kishida Shoji, "Is your so-called foreign affairs activity just trading a corpse? Kishida-kun, since you're so eager to get involved, how did Li Shiqun die?"

Kishida could no longer contain himself and finally broke down, hysterically shouting, "Hanatani Tadashi! You will become a sinner of the Empire! You have ruined everything, and the Headquarters will not let you get away with this!"

Hanaya sneered, "Kishida, you'd better think about how to explain Li Shiqun's death. I've sealed off this place. Go back to the consulate. Remember, don't leave Beiping. I may summon you to the military police headquarters for questioning at any time!"

Shoji Kishida punched the Nissan car next to him, then left with his men.

Hanaya had the body moved back to the military police headquarters, and then called Hayashi Sawa.

In the study of the Lin family mansion, Lin Ze was drinking flower tea and smoking a cigarette.

In the half hour he had been thinking of several possibilities.

The Diplomats Club, Li Shih-Chun—seemingly unrelated people and events, when intertwined, could very well reveal hidden, unknown threads.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"

Lin Ze picked up the receiver.

"Hey."

"Commander Lin, it's me. Li Shiqun is really dead. I've taken his body back to the Military Police Headquarters. There's another group of people at the scene."

"Another group?"

"I wonder if you are familiar with the intelligence system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Lin Ze frowned. "Xingya Institute?"

He and the Asia Development Board were old rivals. He was able to come to Tianjin under the pretext of attacking the Asia Development Board's influence in the cabinet.

“It’s not the Asia Development Institute. The Asia Development Institute is now under the command of the Cabinet, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still retains its own investigation agency, which operates through consulates in various regions. Internally, they are called the Intelligence and Investigation Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but externally they operate as the Cabinet Intelligence and Investigation Bureau. When I arrived at the scene, there were three cars. Kishida Shoji from the Consulate General in Beiping was outside the club. He was the head of the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau in North China. When I arrived, he tried his best to prevent me from taking over the case.”

It was him!

The Diplomats' Club and Li Shiqun—these two pieces of the puzzle have been added together: the Japanese Consulate General in Beiping.

Just two days ago, Niu San'er reported that Li Shiqun met with Kishida Shoji at the Six Nations Hotel bar.

How could a spy from Nanjing get involved with intelligence personnel in the diplomatic system of Beiping?

"Hanatani-kun, you did a great job. I need to rush to report to the General now. How about we meet at the entrance of the Army Headquarters?"

Hua Gu is overjoyed, and Master Lin is so particular! He even includes me in his reports!

"Alright, alright, Commander Lin, I can't thank you enough, I..."

"Hanaguchi-kun, let's not talk about those things. After this matter is settled, I'll treat you to a couple of drinks."

"It's my treat, it's my treat!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze thought for a moment and then called Yuzu Shunsuke again.

At this moment, Shunsuke Aburatsu had just returned to his residence behind the Military Police Headquarters.

I was startled when I heard the phone ring.

Holy crap, they've been exposed! ? ?

After thinking for a few seconds, he answered the phone, sounding a little impatient, pretending to have been woken up from his sleep.

"Hey, this is Shunsuke Aburatsu. Who is it so late?"

Lin Ze immediately raised his eyebrows.

"It's me, Lin Ze, Yu Jin-kun. A body has been transported to the Military Police Headquarters. The deceased has a special and very important identity. I need you to conduct an autopsy tonight to determine the cause of death."

Shunsuke Yuzu paused for a moment, then said coldly, "Yes, Commander Lin."

After hanging up the phone, Shunsuke Yuzu felt a little smug.

He desperately wanted to know how Li Shiqun died!

Until this matter is clarified, he has no way to arrange for anyone to contact the Japanese foreign affairs personnel.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze said confidently, "Yuzu Shunsuke must know something. He is a member of the Far East Intelligence Bureau of the Northern Bear. Now things are gradually becoming clearer. The Consulate General in Beiping, Yuzu Shunsuke, the Diplomats Club, Li Shiqun. If we put these pieces together, we may be able to see the whole picture from a small part."

Niu San'er thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, and he admired Lin Ze to the point of prostration.

"Prepare the car, we're heading to the Army Headquarters."

"Yes!"

General Okamura has been in a good mood lately.

With peace and tranquility in North China and his only son gradually "getting back on the right track," he held absolute power and was practically a local emperor in North China. How could he not be in a good mood?

Okamura had a good appetite that evening, ate quite a bit, and even drank a small pot of sake. Just as he was about to go to sleep, his adjutant suddenly came to report: "Mr. Hayashi and Hanaya Masashi have arrived and say they have urgent business."

Upon hearing that Lin Jun had arrived, Okamura smiled subconsciously, but then frowned upon hearing Hanaya Masashi's name.

He also knew that the simultaneous appearance of these two people meant that something important had happened.

"Tell them to wait in the office, I'll be right there."

Less than ten minutes later, Okamura, now dressed in his military uniform again, appeared in the office, and both Hayashi and Hanaya stood up and saluted.

"Your Excellency, General!"

Okamura waved his hand, looking somewhat tired, and said, "Lin-kun, Commander Hanaya, is there anything I can help you with so late?"

Lin Ze looked at Hua Guzheng, signaling him to come and report.

Hanaya Masashi was deeply moved. "My dear Lin Jun, you've given me a chance to shine in front of the General!"

"Your Excellency, I received intelligence tonight that a murder had occurred at the Diplomats' Club, and I immediately led my men there..."

Okamura didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was just another case of a rebel killing someone. But when he heard that the deceased was Li Shiqun, he was no longer calm.

"What?! Li Shiqun is dead?! Who else was there?"

"Your Excellency, and also the people from the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beiping."

Okamura looked at Hayashi Sawa and nodded, as if to say, "Do you have any other information?"

Lin Ze shrugged.

Okamura then fell into deep thought.
