Chapter 846 It’s all for the great cause of the empire!
Matsuzaki's attitude was quite pious. He stood up and bowed 120 degrees, almost touching his face to the ground.
"Matsuzaki-kun, you can claim to be sick!"
"Calling sick?"
"You can ask someone to prescribe you some medicine that will cause vomiting and diarrhea. Even if Okamura has a problem with you, can he still force you to work? During your illness, someone has to take over this case. I think Kitahara Ransuke is very suitable..."
"Will Okamura agree?"
"Again, he can't point a gun at you and ask you to continue investigating. Even if he wants to take this opportunity to punish you, he has to wait until the case is completely over and a result is produced, right? The room for maneuver is here. Kitahara Ransuke has no other choice. He can either cut the Gordian knot and quickly close the case and report an ambiguous conclusion, or he has to put in 120% effort to thoroughly investigate the case and find out the mastermind behind it. But no matter which one, isn't it good for you? Even if you are still harassed by Okamura in the end, it is better than the current situation, right?"
Matsuzaki's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Lin, this is all my fault. I'm sorry for making you suffer. From now on..."
Lin Ze interrupted him, "This is all official business, what does it have to do with you? If it were me, I would do the same as you, Matsuzaki-kun, we can talk about this later, go and make the arrangements."
What are you thinking about in the future?
Since you are useless even if I give you the chance, then we have to let Kitahara Ransuke take over!
On the same day, Matsuzaki was hospitalized due to food poisoning.
Okamura was very disdainful of this, but he did not force him. He just thought about settling the score together later. At the same time, he agreed to let Kitahara Ransuke continue to investigate the case.
Beiyuan entered the Secret Service Department and went to see Lin Ze first.
He closed the door of the interrogation room and said excitedly: "Good brother! After waiting for so long, it’s finally time to take action!"
He then took the files and studied the case carefully.
The more I study, the more disappointed I become.
"Mr. Lin, we are in a passive position! If we want to bring down Song Qi, we must first solve this case beautifully. Mao Wanli must have some plan, and Song Qi must have fallen into the trap, but what is Mao Wanli's purpose? Can we only wait passively?"
Lin Ze burst out laughing.
This is the benefit of changing to Beiyuan. Matsuzaki has been involved in this case from the very beginning. He knows Mao Wanli's previous condition. If he comes to his senses while thinking about it, it will be bad.
But Beiyuan was different. The current situation that Beiyuan faced was: Mao Wanli was seriously ill, and the telegram sent by the Military Control Commission headquarters to Mao Wanli was very quick and strange.
So he naturally came to the conclusion that Mao Wanli was a dead spy and that he had ulterior motives for surrendering.
"Could it be that he knew he was going to die soon and wanted to cause damage, so he deliberately framed you?"
Lin Ze shook his head. "I'm far away in Tianjin. What's the point of him framing me? So, he framed me just to attract attention, so that it would be easier for him to cover up some things."
Bei Yuan nodded and said, "I will go and interrogate Mao Wanli again to see if I can pry his mouth open."
"I heard from Matsuzaki that this man won't live for more than two days. Don't torture him blindly. I think it's better to investigate this way. Think about who has been involved since the beginning of this incident, and who has disappeared from this incident. In this way, maybe we can find some clues."
"Mr. Lin, you are a natural counterintelligence expert! You take charge and I will do the work this time. We must bring down that guy Matsuzaki!"
Lin Ze shook his head, "It's all for the great cause of the empire!"
"Ha! Mr. Lin is right. It's all for the great cause of the empire!"

Jinmen.
Dominic was talking to a man with glasses, a big beard, and a long-handled pipe in his mouth.
"Derrick, I will provide the manuscripts. In addition to the sponsorship money for your newspaper, as a friend, I heard that you don't have any property in Tianjin? The rent of the house in the concession is too expensive. Our Chamber of Commerce has a property. If you don't mind, how about moving in?"
Derrick took down his pipe and shook his head. "Mr. President, thank you for your kindness. Although our Miller Review dares to publish some news related to the regional situation, your request to release the news is a bit too much..."
Dominic asked, "The pressure comes from Powell?"
Derrick said nothing.
Miller's Review, also known as the Weekly Review, was originally founded by a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune.
Because the reporter's surname was Miller, the newspaper was named after him.
This newspaper is very special because its circulation is not very large, only about 10,000 to 20,000 copies per issue.
However, its influence is quite large, because this newspaper mainly publishes some political and economic news, which is very popular among the upper class. It is a must-subscribe newspaper for consulates, military leaders and politicians of various countries.
After Miller died, the newspaper was taken over by his classmate Powell. Powell's style was more radical and he often revealed shocking news. The Japanese were very angry about this, but they had not yet completely turned against the Americans and could not do anything to him.
Although this newspaper has always been bold, it was still a little afraid when faced with the article that Dominic asked to publish.
Even Derrick, the newspaper's special reporter stationed in Tianjin, once doubted the authenticity of the content, but considering Dominic's other identity, he chose to believe it.
You can believe it, but it's not worth sending out. If you send it out today, the Japanese will come to arrest you tomorrow!
As relations between the United States and Japan became increasingly tense, Derrick always felt that the concession was not very safe.
"Well, I will be responsible for convincing Powell. I will have the top brass of the Intelligence Agency call him, and you just need to persuade him to publish this article. After that, I will not only give you a large sum of money, but also let you live in the American Chamber of Commerce. No matter how arrogant the Japanese are, they will not dare to attack the Chamber of Commerce, at least not before the war."
Derrick put the pipe in his mouth again and smoked it vigorously.
"Since you promised me that...I will do my best, but this is not for money, this is to defend the style of our newspaper."
"Of course, you are a true newspaper man, and I pay my respects to you."

Two days later.
Mountain city, Luojiawan.
Boss Dai gets up very early.
To be exact, he didn't even get much sleep.
He used to have the habit of taking sleeping pills, but now because he had too many things to do and there was still no news about the Golden Buddha, he was afraid something might happen at night and he didn't even dare to take sleeping pills.
Since I had trouble sleeping, I simply came to the office early, drank tea, and waited for Mao Dafeng to bring me breakfast and a briefing.
After waiting for a while, Mao Dafeng came, but he didn't bring breakfast, only a briefing.
"Commander! The front page of Miller's Review! Big Brother North is really going to negotiate with the Japanese! No, they are already negotiating!"
