Chapter 439: Big Problems in the General Staff
Afterwards, Kitahara Ransuke found a doctor to give Shimouchi Tomoko some simple treatment to prevent her from dying, and then went to the cafeteria with Lin Ze to eat something.
Because he was worried about others, Kitahara Ransuke asked Lin Ze to call Xiao Jiang Daigui to look after Shimoe Tomoko.
Lin Ze did not go home today and spent the whole night in the headquarters' office.
Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the office door in the middle of the night.
Lin Ze pulled out his gun and cleared his throat, "Who?"
Xiao Jiang Dagui's voice came from outside, "Team Leader, it's me."
Lin Ze still didn't put down the gun in his hand and opened the door a crack.
Don't rush to let him in, "It's so late, aren't you guarding Uchiko in the interrogation room?"
"A few hours ago, Lieutenant Colonel Kitahara came over again and locked the woman up in a temporary cell. I came up to take a break and got a call."
Lin Ze opened the door and let him in.
Instead of locking the door, he turned on the light.
Lin Ze took out a bottle of wine from his desk, placed two glasses on the table, poured half a glass into each, and whispered, "Let's drink and talk, and keep it short."
"I don't know who called, but it should be an insider. They asked me to cooperate in searching for some evidence tomorrow and kill Aijima Daiki. Then they hung up."
Needless to say, this is someone from the Far East Intelligence Agency.
It is even possible that Shunsuke Aburatsu made the call himself.
From their perspective, Xiao Jiang Dagui is still serving them.
"Who is Aijima Daiki?"
Xiao Jiang Dagui actually knew this person: "Team leader, he has also been to the restaurant. He is the chief of the Second Army's operations staff."
Lin Ze picked up the wine glass and motioned Xiao Jiang Dagui to drink as well. He leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.
This is really strange!
There are several questions now. The first one is, was Tomoko Shimouchi's action this time instructed by the headquarters or by the Far East Intelligence Bureau?
If it was instructed by the Far East Intelligence Bureau, then this Shimoeko Shimoe was probably a multifaceted spy. Would she expose herself? What did that look she gave herself in the interrogation room mean?
Lin Ze then judged that, not to mention that she had no reason to accuse him, even if she said she was a spy, no one would believe it because Song Hongyi was already dead and he and Shimouchi Tomoko had no obvious connection.
Another possibility is that Tomoko Shimouchi has no connection with the Far East Intelligence Bureau at all, and this incident was accidentally exposed by her or arranged by the headquarters, and Shunsuke Aburatsu thought this was an opportunity and wanted to use it to achieve his own goals.
What was Shunsuke Aburatsu's purpose? Why did he take this opportunity to kill the Second Army's operations chief?
What benefits does this bring to the Far East Intelligence Bureau?
After chatting loudly with Xiao Jiang Dagui for a while, Lin Ze asked him to go back and rest, without clearing away the wine bottles and glasses on the table, leaving them there.
Before dawn in the morning, Kitahara Ransuke came to wake Lin Ze up.
He looked at the wine bottle on the table and said with a smile, "Lin Sang, why didn't you call me for a drink?"
Lin Ze said embarrassedly: "I couldn't sleep yesterday. I saw Lieutenant Xiao Jiang came back, so I asked him to drink two cups. I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I didn't dare to call you."
Kitahara Ransuke yawned, "I almost didn't sleep all night yesterday, but there is news from Captain Aburatsu. He gave the officer an injection, and although the guy couldn't resist the side effects and died, he did say a name. I know this person, Aijima Daiki, an operations director. Damn it, they really are after the Second Army's intelligence."
The two then went downstairs without even having time to eat breakfast. Kitahara Ransuke ordered Koe Daiki to take the military police to arrest Aijima Daiki, while he himself took Lin Ze into the interrogation room again.
Not long after, Tomoko Shimouchi was brought out from the temporary cell, and she was already a little dazed.
Kitahara Ransuke smiled and said, "Ms. Tomoko, I've said before that resistance is futile. Your excuses won't work. It was Daiki Aijima, right? Tell us what you got from him. Even if you don't tell us, we can still get the answer. So just cooperate and you'll suffer less."
Kitahara Ransuke said this as he lowered his head to light a cigarette.
When he mentioned the name Aijima Daiki, Lin Ze keenly caught a glimpse of surprise in Shimouchi Tomoko's eyes, and then she became confused again.
What does it mean?
Was Tomoko Shimouchi surprised because Kitahara Ransuke got the correct name so quickly, or because this person was not part of her plan at all?
When Kitahara Ransuke raised his head, Shimouchi Tomoko was already as pale as death, and she murmured: "Aijima... Daiki..."
"What deal did you make?"
"The Second Army, in Hongzhou......"
After hearing this, Kitahara Ransuke widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"What?! Hongzhou? Did the Second Army take action in Hongzhou? Did Daiki Aijima give you this information?"
Obviously, Kitahara Ransuke didn't know about this level of action plan.
However, this is too much! Can a chief of operations staff sell out such important intelligence for a woman?
Suddenly, tears welled up in the corners of Shimouchi Tomoko's eyes, and there was no life in her eyes anymore. "Kill me, the operation has not been completed. Aijima promised to give me the information, but I was arrested before I got it. Now that you know it was him, everything is meaningless. Kill me........."
Kitahara Ransuke couldn't sit still any longer, "Lin-san, keep an eye on her! I have to go to the front headquarters!"
Front Command.
Major General Matsuzaki was reviewing documents in his office.
This house used to belong to Seiichi Kita, so it's a bit unlucky.
But Major General Matsuzaki didn't care. He had been coveting Kita Seiichi's position for a long time. Now that he had finally got the position, why would he change offices? It was in this office that he felt he had power.
An officer hurried in to report: "Lieutenant Colonel Kitahara is here and wants to see you?"
Major General Matsuzaki was a little surprised. What was Kitahara Ransuke doing here at this time?
Is it because of that woman?
To be honest, although Major General Matsuzaki knew that Tomoko Shimouchi had connections with many military officers, he did not take it too seriously.
First of all, this problem is the mess left behind by Kita Seiichi and has little to do with him.
Secondly, Major General Matsuzaki felt that this woman was simply using her beauty to attract some middle and lower-level officers. The North China Front Army had not taken any major action at the moment, so what information could she leak?
If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause dissatisfaction among the middle-level officers within the front army. They have long been dissatisfied with the Special Service Department, so Major General Matsuzaki handed the matter over to Kitahara Ransuke. He felt that this was a smart move.
"Let Kitahara-kun in."
As the officer went out to report, Kitahara Ransuke rushed in, "Major General! There's a big problem at the General Staff!"
