Chapter 176 Crusade Strategy
early morning.

In the courtyard of the Police Department.

Bai Peicen got out of the car and looked around.

Gao Kejian's car also just came in.

Bai Peicen was in no hurry to leave and waited beside the car.

Gao Kejian quickly told the driver to stop the car, opened the door and got out of the car, followed him a few steps and greeted him respectfully: "Good morning, director."

"morning."

Bai Peicen climbed up the steps.

Gao Kejian said: "I thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect you came earlier than me."

Bai Peicen said: "I have developed a habit over the years. Every Monday, I come to the police station in advance, mainly to deal with the backlog of documents as soon as possible. My efficiency has improved, and it will be easier for the people below to do things."

Gao Kejian said with a smile: "I almost forgot, today is Monday."

Bai Peicen asked: "Do you know any of the female police officers from the Police Department live on Binshan Road?"

Gao Kejian thought for a while: "There is one in the archives department."

Bai Peicen asked: "Who?"

Gao Kejian said: "The surname is Sun, what is your name..."

Bai Peicen said: "Sun Aidi?"

"Yes, yes, her name is Sun Aidi. Director, your memory is better."

Gao Kejian said flatteringly.

Bai Peicen nodded slightly: "No wonder, I saw her once on Binshan Road. At that time, I thought she was passing by by chance, but she turned out to be a neighbor."

Gao Kejian asked: "Is there something wrong with this person?"

As an agent, his boss suddenly mentioned a seemingly insignificant person, and out of professional instinct, he thought it might be related to the espionage case.

Bai Peicen smiled and waved his hand: "You are overthinking. Oh, last night, someone saw Qi Yue from the Special Service Division and a female police officer on Binshan Road. Judging from their appearance, the female police officer should live nearby. I happened to meet you, I asked casually..."

The so-called "someone" refers to Yu Jincheng. He drove by the entrance of the alley and saw Qi Yue with a uniformed policewoman. He "accidentally" mentioned this matter while dining at Bai Mansion.

Bai Xue sat in silence for a while and left the table early on the grounds of feeling unwell. Bai Peicen knew her daughter's thoughts well, so she asked Gao Kejian.

Gao Kejian also guessed the cause of the incident - the archives unit sent Sun Aidi to the archives room, and Qi Yue took Sun Aidi home on the way.

"What's the relationship between the two of them?"

Bai Peicen asked.

Gao Kejian said: "I'm not sure either. Otherwise, I can go back and ask Qi Yue?"

Bai Peicen said: "No, it's just a small talk. Come with me, there is a document that needs to be picked up by you personally. I don't trust others to pick it up."

The two of them came to the third floor one after another. In front of the door of the director's office, Bai Peicen took out the key and opened the door. The wire was broken in the lock cylinder and the key could not be inserted.

Bai Peicen thought he got the wrong key.

Gao Kejian took a closer look and said quickly: "Director, the door has been broken open!"

"The door was broken open?"

Bai Peicen was surprised.

"Look."

Gao Kejian pointed to the wire in the keyhole.

The director's office was broken into, and the case was not trivial. Gao Kejian did not dare to neglect, and immediately called in the personnel on duty from the Secret Service Section to guard the stairwells on both sides and not allow anyone to go upstairs to avoid damage to the scene.Gao Kejian personally inspected the site.

It was still early before work, and no one else had been to the third floor. The survey work went smoothly. Apart from the footprints of Gao Kejian and Bai Peicen, there were only the prints of the pair of three-jointed leather shoes.

……

into the office.

Bai Peicen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Gao Kejian said from the side: "Director, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Bai Peicen asked: "Who could have done it?"

Gao Kejian said: "I suspect he is an insider."

Bai Peicen's eyes flashed: "What's the basis?"

Gao Kejian said: "The on-duty personnel of the Secret Service Section patrol every two hours. There are guards at the gate. This person can come and go freely. If he hadn't been able to fly over walls and climb walls, he wouldn't have been able to avoid everyone's eyes."

"Pry the door? What does he want to do?"

Bai Peicen frowned.

Gao Kejian thought for a moment and said slowly: "It must be for something very important, otherwise, he would not take such a big risk."

This sentence reminded Bai Peicen. He hurriedly took out the key from his pocket, opened the safe embedded in the wall, and took out a document bag. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the lacquer seal was still there.

Gao Kejian said: "Director..."

"This is the document I am going to hand over to you."

Bai Peicen handed over the document bag.

There is a line written on the cover of the document bag: Strategy for Autumn Crusade.

Gao Kejian understood immediately and said in surprise: "You mean, the person who tried to pry open the door came here for this document?"

Bai Peicen looked solemn: "There is nothing more important in this room!"

Gao Kejian said: "Fortunately, there was an accident during the process of breaking the door..."

Bai Peicen said: "Last time, the head of the Shibuya Agency told me that there were red cavalry officers lurking in the police station. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I see it, what I said is true. Section Chief Gao, investigate spies, and the Secret Service Department It is our duty to handle this case, so you should hurry up on this case."

Gao Kejian said respectfully: "Yes!"

Bai Peicen walked around behind the desk, slowly sat on the chair, and then said: "In previous years' crusade, the Kwantung Army was the main force, supplemented by the Anguo Army and the police force. Corresponding countermeasures were implemented according to different situations. But this year Different, the Anguo Army and the police force are the main force, and the Kwantung Army is in the rear. This is mainly due to the fact that the main force of the anti-bandit forces fled Su Lian, leaving only a sporadic small force. From a strength perspective, there is nothing to fear."

Gao Kejian said: "Suppressing bandits is a matter of great importance and should not be taken lightly. Take the anti-bandit independent group entrenched in the Maoershan area as an example. They initially had less than 200 people and lacked everything from guns and ammunition to food and clothing. . But now, this team has reached 600 people, and the weapons and equipment are even different from the past. If they cannot be completely eradicated, I am worried about raising tigers!"

Bai Peicen said: "I agree with your point of view. However, this crusade plan is led by the Kwantung Army headquarters, and we can only obey it."

Gao Kejian had no choice. To put it bluntly, Manchukuo was just a puppet regime, and it was the Japanese who really had the final say, especially in terms of military matters.

Bai Peicen continued: "You are specifically responsible for the dispatch of the police force. This document is a detailed combat plan and must be kept properly. In addition, you don't have to worry too much. Although compared with the Kwantung Army, the Anguo Army's combat effectiveness is average. But dealing with those rabble, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Gao Kejian said: "Who will lead the Anguo Army?"

Bai Peicen said: "Honored."

Gao Kejian said: "His injury..."

Bai Peicen said: "I have recovered a long time ago. I rested at home for two months and returned to the team a few days ago."

"I am honored to lead the team, so I can feel more at ease..."

Gao Kejian said with a sigh.
