Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2834 Old Miyamoto puts pressure!
In Commander Ito's office, Miyamoto nodded slightly, his eyes swept around the office, and finally fell on Commander Ito.

He said calmly, "Commander Ito, I came here this time on the orders of the head of the family to help deal with the matter of Young Master Gongbei."

Although Miyamoto spoke politely at this time, his tone was unquestionable.

Commander Ito was startled, but he didn't show it on his face. He was still smiling: "Miyamoto-kun's coming here in person really solved our urgent problem. We are also deeply saddened by the matter of Master Gongbei. We are doing our best to investigate the truth. I hope Miyamoto-kun can give us some guidance."

Miyamoto raised his lips with an imperceptible sneer, and said slowly: "Commander Ito, the head of the family attaches great importance to the matter of Master Gongbei. This time, he sent me here to ensure that the investigation can proceed smoothly and not miss any clues. I heard that you have held a memorial service for Master Gongbei?"

Commander Ito nodded quickly: "That's right, Master Gongbei is a pillar of the empire. His sacrifice makes us feel deeply saddened. We hold a memorial service to express our respect and condolences to him."

Miyamoto nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the portrait of Kujo Miyakita, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said:

"Commander Ito, the head of the family also asked me to tell you that although this investigation involves the Kujo family, it must be conducted impartially and strictly without any partiality. At the same time, he also hopes that you can cooperate with my work and provide all necessary assistance."

When Commander Ito heard this, he secretly groaned in his heart. How could he not understand the meaning of these words?

What the hell is this about being fair and impartial? I'm afraid that everyone who has anything to do with the disappearance of Kujo Miyakita will have to die.

If Kujo Masao knew that it was someone within the Imperial Army who killed his son, who knows how many people would die.

But on the surface, Ito did not dare to be negligent in the slightest: "Don't worry, Miyamoto-kun, we will definitely cooperate with you fully. However, this investigation still needs to be considered in the long run. I wonder what Miyamoto-kun has to say?"

Miyamoto thought for a moment and said, "Commander Ito, I have brought the master's handwritten note with me this time. He asked me to set up a joint investigation team immediately after I came to China, with me as the team leader, to be fully responsible for the investigation of Master Gongbei's death. At the same time, I also hope that you can provide all relevant information and clues so that we can find out the truth as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Commander Ito sneered in his heart.

Because it was obvious that Masao Kujo didn't trust them at all.

Of course, this is not surprising. If someone from the Ito family died, they would not trust anyone.

Therefore, he could only say: "Miyamoto-kun is absolutely right. We will definitely cooperate with him fully. However, I wonder what arrangements Miyamoto-kun has made for the composition of the joint investigation team?"

Miyamoto raised a meaningful smile and said, "Commander Ito, the members of this joint investigation team are naturally recommended by both of us. However, in order to ensure the fairness of the investigation, I suggest that I serve as the team leader, and Ito-kun and Ino-kun serve as deputy team leaders. How about that?"

Commander Ito cursed inwardly, but he could only put on a forced smile: "Miyamoto-kun has made very good arrangements. We will definitely cooperate with him to the fullest."

Miyamoto nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Commander Ino with a look of scrutiny in his eyes: "Commander Ino, what do you think of this?"

Although Commander Ino was unhappy, facing Miyamoto's fierce eyes, he could only force a smile: "Miyamoto is right. We will definitely cooperate with the work of the joint investigation team."

Seeing that both of them had expressed their opinions, Miyamoto smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's great. Then let's start preparing for the joint investigation team right away. Commander Ito, Commander Ino, I hope you can provide all the relevant information and clues as soon as possible so that we can start the investigation as soon as possible."

Commander Ito and Commander Ino looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

But they knew that in this game of power and interests, they could only compromise. So, the two of them nodded in agreement and began to prepare for the relevant matters of the joint investigation team. Miyamoto took the lead and began to check every report to find clues about the disappearance of Kujo Miyakita.

Ito and Ino naturally persuaded Miyamoto that he was tired from the journey and could take a night's rest and check it out tomorrow.

But Lao Gongbei was tireless and started investigating immediately.

Ito and Ino had no choice but to fill their desks with various reports on the disappearance of Kujo Miyakita.

They thought, after reading these reports, you, Gong Bei, will be so tired that you will collapse.

But Lao Gong Bei didn't care at all. He carefully read every document and did not miss any details.

Although Commander Ito and Commander Ino were unhappy, they could only assist and provide everything they needed.

Miyamoto sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes wrote quickly, making notes on the report.

As the investigation progressed, Miyamoto gradually noticed something unusual.

The report mentioned that on the day Kujo Miyakita disappeared, his itinerary was kept extremely secret, and not much information was leaked except to his personal bodyguards and a few close confidants.

However, judging from the traces left at the scene, the assassin seemed to know Kujo Miyakita's whereabouts very well and ambushed him halfway. This was very unusual and the Anti-Japanese Brigade simply did not have the ability to do this.

As for the annotations of Ino and Ito here, it is very likely that the anti-Japanese brigade has been lying in ambush and waiting here, which is simply not feasible.

It is a fool's behavior to sit and wait for something to happen, and is it possible to wait for three days?

At that time, Master Gong Bei's guards had two infantry squadrons. It would take at least four to five hundred people to kill all the reinforcement squadrons.

But does the Anti-Japanese Brigade really have the ability to sneak into the occupied area and ambush Master Gong Bei for three days without anyone noticing?
Seeing this, Old Gongbei looked at Ito and Ino and said, "Commander Ito, Commander Ino, Master Kujo Gongbei's itinerary on the day he disappeared was secret, but the assassin knew his whereabouts very well. There must be something fishy going on, right? Also, the traces left at the scene show that the assassin was able to ambush accurately and kill two infantry squadrons without leaving a single piece of armor. This is definitely not something the Anti-Japanese Brigade could do. What explanation do you have for this?"

Commander Ito felt a tightness in his heart, because he also felt something was wrong at that time.

But Ino said that it was possible that the Anti-Japanese Brigade was waiting for the opportunity. So he and Ino jointly made a mark.

I just didn’t want to, but Old Gong Bei still felt that there was something wrong. This is really difficult to deal with!
So he could only smile and say: "Mr. Miyamoto, this may just be a coincidence. The Anti-Japanese Brigade is very cunning, maybe they used some special means to find out the whereabouts of Master Gong Bei. As for the two infantry squadrons being unable to protect Mr. Gong Bei, there is nothing strange about it. The Anti-Japanese Brigade's combat capability is very strong, otherwise the Imperial Army would not have suffered such a heavy loss in the battle of Phoenix Mountain!"

Commander Ino also echoed, "Yes, Miyamoto-kun, the anti-Japanese brigade has always been elusive, and we cannot underestimate their capabilities. Moreover, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and accidents are inevitable."

But obviously, Miyamoto didn't believe it at all.

He sneered and said, "Coincidence? Accident? Commander Ito, Commander Ino, do you think this explanation is reasonable? I suspect there is a bigger conspiracy behind this, perhaps related to someone within the Imperial Army. It was the Imperial Army that sold the information to the Anti-Japanese Brigade, and even the one who attacked Young Master Gongbei, it was the Imperial Japanese Army!"
