Chapter 313 Intrigue
evening.

Gogol Street.

Downstairs of the Manchuria Railway Hospital, Qi Yue sat in the car, smoking silently. He had waited for a whole day, but the so-called "suspicious element" mentioned by Somekawa Kazuo did not show up. He was somewhat skeptical about the authenticity of the whole thing.

Knowing that something was fishy, ​​the Military Control Commission could not possibly carry out another assassination, and the underground party was even less likely to do so. Was this another test from the enemy?

Zhao Zhenhai walked quickly to the front of the car.

"Is there anything unusual?"

Qi Yue rolled down the car window a little.

Zhao Zhenhai said: "Everything is normal."

Qi Yue said: "Continue to monitor."

Zhao Zhenhai said, "There are only two security guards at the door of Director Beiyuan's ward. Should we send a few people to protect him secretly?"

Qi Yue said: "No need."

Zhao Zhenhai hesitated for a moment: "But if the rebels rush into the ward, our people are on the periphery, I am worried..."

Qi Yue said: "The rebels have already scouted the area and know what the situation is like. They will definitely be suspicious of the sudden appearance of many unfamiliar faces. My mission is to set up surveillance outside. As for Director Beiyuan's safety, since he didn't let us participate, he must have taken precautions in advance."

Zhao Zhenhai said, "I understand."

Qi Yue said: "Go to the building and keep an eye on it. Report any situation at any time."

Zhao Zhenhai agreed and turned away.

At this time, a black car drove into the hospital and slowly stopped next to Qi Yue's car. As soon as the door opened, Gao Kejian got out of the car, looked around, opened Qi Yue's door, and bent down to sit in.

"Chief, why are you here?"

Qi Yue asked.

Gao Kejian said: "Curiosity got the better of me. I just wanted to take a look at what my subordinates were doing in such a mysterious way."

Qi Yue was surprised: "Don't you know about this mission?"

Gao Kejian sneered: "The chief of the secret service department was totally unaware of this. If I hadn't had an acquaintance at the Manchuria Railway Hospital and had seen you guys staying here for a day, I wouldn't even be able to find anyone to ask."

"I thought you knew."

Qi Yue knew very well that what Gao Kejian said about "having acquaintances in the Manchurian Railway Hospital" was nothing more than an excuse. It must be that someone among the men he brought with him secretly called Gao Kejian to report.

"What mission?"

Gao Kejian asked.

Qi Yue said: "Chief Somekawa said that a suspicious person appeared at the Mantetsu Hospital with the intention of harming Director Kitahara, and ordered me to protect him secretly."

Gao Kejian said, “That’s all?”

Qi Yue said: "Chief Ranchuan's intention is that if someone comes to assassinate me, I should let one or two go, and then follow the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes."

Gao Kejian pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know why the men brought by Park Young-jae are still staying in Binjiang?"

Qi Yue said: "Park Young-jae was suddenly murdered, and his subordinates are all suspects. They stayed in Binjiang, probably waiting to be investigated."

Gao Kejian shook his head slightly: "Before, I thought so too, but now I understand that these people stayed in Binjiang just waiting for an opportunity like today."

Qi Yue said: "You mean, they are also involved in this mission?"

Gao Kejian said: "I just saw two of them by chance on Yimin Street. Don't you understand yet? In this mission, you are in the light and the special forces are in the dark. Even if you lose the rebels you let go, they still have a chance to find them in the periphery..."

Qi Yue knew that the special forces were good at tracking, and if what Gao Kejian said was true, the people who came to assassinate Beiyuan would most likely be targeted.

What Gao Kejian said, “I happened to see two of them on Yimin Street”, could not be such a coincidence. He must have sent people to monitor the special forces team long ago.

There are two on Yimin Street, and there must be some in other places as well. Even if Qi Yue wanted to let the assassin go, it seems that it is not feasible now.

"Just now I was worried that I might lose the person and not be able to report to Chief Somekawa. Now that the special forces are here, I feel relieved."

Qi Yue pretended to be relieved. Gao Kejian sighed, "But Chief Somekawa should tell you about the special attack team. This is the minimum trust."

Qi Yue understood that Gao Kejian said these things not out of kindness, but to sow discord between him and Somekawa Kazuo.

Gao Kejian continued, "I estimate that the assassination of Director Beiyuan was most likely done by the Military Control Commission. They have a motive... If there is any situation, no matter how late it is, please report to me at any time. Oh, I'm coming to the hospital today, don't tell anyone."

Qi Yue said, "I understand."

Gao Kejian nodded, opened the door, got out, and returned to his car. The car lights turned on and it quickly disappeared into the night.

Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the intrigue between Gao Kejian and Somekawa Kazuo, he accidentally learned about the situation of the special attack team. Otherwise, he would have probably made a big mistake.

……

Half an hour later.

An ambulance drove into the hospital.

Two male nurses got out of the car. The patient had a bandage on his head and was limping. Even with a cane, he still needed the support of the female nurse who came out to greet him. It seemed that he was seriously injured.

This situation is very common. There are at least a dozen cases a day. The Manchuria Railway is a large hospital, with people coming and going from morning to night.

Qi Yue sat in the car and watched from a distance.

He discovered an interesting detail: the patient was walking up the stairs slowly with a cane. His left leg was lame at first, but when he reached the second step, his right leg started to limp. Generally speaking, if both legs are lame, a cane is useless and he has to use a stretcher.

Qi Yue got out of the car and followed slowly.

After entering the hospital, the patient sat on a bench in the corridor to rest. The two caregivers looked at each other and went upstairs. The female nurse who had greeted them at the beginning did not leave and stood beside the patient.

Qi Yue sat on the bench on the other side.

The head nurse on duty came hurriedly and asked the patient: "Have the family members arrived?"

"behind……"

The patient replied weakly.

The head nurse asked the female nurse: "Which department are you from?"

The female nurse lowered her head: "From the emergency department."

The head nurse turned to leave, but stopped after thinking for a moment and looked at the female nurse wearing a mask: "Emergency Department? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The nurse said, "I'm new here."

The head nurse said, "Take care of him first. I'll arrange for someone to take your place right away. Alas, tonight is full of emergencies. Your emergency department is very busy..."

boom!
A gunshot was heard from upstairs.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then two more gunshots were heard, and there was a mess of footsteps on the stairs. Two caregivers ran downstairs, each holding a pistol in their hands.

boom! boom! boom!
Zhao Zhenhai and the secret agents rushed out from the darkness and the two sides opened fire on each other.

The building was in an uproar, with children crying and women screaming. Both medical staff and patients were frantically looking for a safe place to hide.

Qi Yue dodged and hid in the corner.

Suddenly, the patient who was dying just now jumped up, twisted his cane hard, and the head and tail of the cane broke off. He quickly threw the head of the cane away.

Zhao Zhenhai took a quick glance and saw that there was a fuse hidden in the tip of the cane, with a little smoke coming out. He quickly shouted, "It's a bomb!"

The spies hurriedly lay down on the ground.

The cane head did not explode, but the smoke grew thicker and thicker, and a choking smell filled the air, apparently caused by the addition of chemicals such as capsaicin.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the patient pulled the female nurse and ran towards the door of the building. The two nurses also ran downstairs and rushed out of the hospital.
