Republic of China

Chapter 300

As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself.

The best thing to hide in the world is the truth, and the hardest thing to destroy is the truth.

Especially for the capable, powerful and powerful Japanese Kwantung Army, if they really want to fully activate their hidden intelligence machines to investigate something, it won't be long before they get the answer.

If it were targeted at Yanhuang, the investigation progress would be faster.

I have no choice but to rely on my peers to support me.

The Japanese country has been infiltrating Yanhuang since the middle period of Guangxu, and now it has already driven nails into every aspect. For example, tonight Dashuai Zhang dumped Zhang Xiaoliu several big dicks, Jiang Xipi did some somersaults on Song Meiren, these It's not even a secret.

Because once there are too many people, loopholes will inevitably appear, and those who betray you will always make you get closer than you expected.

On the contrary, it will be much more difficult to investigate those mud-legged people who have too much and not too much.

The Second Section of the Kwantung Army General Staff Headquarters is directly under the Special Intelligence Department, and it has been having a lot of headaches recently.

It cannot be said that the 837 unit has heard about many foreign masters in Yanhuang, at least they are familiar with them, not to mention the top foreigners who have been famous for a long time. There are countless stories about Qi Sihai going around looking for people to fight with each other. .

If there is no hatred, why kill him?
Two possibilities.

No matter what, it must be admitted that Marshal Zhang has always had a vicious eye on people. Who would have thought that in just over a year, Zhao Sanyuan really attracted the attention of Unit 837, and even after such a long investigation, he still could not find out who killed him in Sunjiawan. Those two onmyojis.

Before, he had almost concluded that Qi Sihai would have secret connections with the Zhang family, or at least appear near the brothel.

But I never expected that intelligence showed that after Qi Sihai left Dongda Street and killed several spies, he did not go to the brothel at all, nor did he have anything to do with the old Zhang family. Instead, he went directly to the Xiashan Reservoir and lived in seclusion for half a year. .

A small plan is for people, a big plan is for luck.

Very reasonable.

This is all part of the plan, and anyone who creates a change in this will be eliminated.

Just by some mistake, the clues extended in another direction.
At the foot of Baiyu Mountain, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

"I don't want to hear this nonsense. First tell me where Qi Sihai is."

There is so much resentment here, and standing here in the hot summer can clearly feel the coldness, as if there are countless pairs of hateful eyes watching everything.

On his left hand side, not far away under the black soil, were buried more than 20,000 yellow and yellow withered bones. The little devils claimed to be dead Qing soldiers. As for who were buried, they knew better than anyone else. .

Code name, 837.

But no matter how old he is, he has never had a conflict with the Japanese forces, let alone any quarrel. Can he commit a murder and make a feud? Logically speaking, the two onmyojis who were killed in Sunjiawan were most likely killed by Qi Sihai. After all, he could really do it without seeing anyone alive or dead.

The colonel frowned slightly.

Because it was too reasonable, the colonel was ready to take revenge on Marshal Zhang.

But as I said before, don't underestimate the Kwantung Army's intelligence system. It will certainly investigate the clues you want at full capacity.

A middle-aged man with the rank of colonel was sitting on his knees on the fort, burning incense and looking at the vast Bohai Sea.

The tragedy that occurred at Luda University in the 20th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty had the shadow of this army behind it. However, Marshal Zhang only told half of this information to Zhao Sanyuan. There was no need to show the other half. If he had the ability, he would find it out. If he didn't, he would find out. It's useless to tell him, it will only increase dangerous variables.

Therefore, Lu Province has a different meaning in the eyes of the colonel, and there is no good opinion at all, but the problem is not just that.

Externally, this department is called the Research Department. Not many people know exactly what it studies. The peripheral officers and soldiers have heard that the funds for this department are ridiculously large, and the Second Section of the General Staff only has jurisdiction over it in name, but in fact it has jurisdiction over it. Don't listen to the tune and don't listen to the propaganda.

"Colonel, we have found some clues."

"Some strange things did indeed happen at Northeastern University that night, but the information was too tightly sealed, and no one could be found who could explain clearly what happened. But what is certain is that Qi Sihai appeared in Northeastern University that night, and there were more than one One hears that lute sound.”

But the colonel's face remained normal, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Benefits that are irresistible or threats that are irresistible.

"explain."

The sound of quick but unhurried footsteps came.

reasonable.

A master from Shaanxi and a Yanhuang Qinjue who has not traveled out for many years. Could it be that he suddenly traveled halfway across Yanhuang and left the country because he signed up for a senior group tour?

Zhang Yuting!
Except for those pathologically confident fools in the Kwantung Army and even on the main island of Japan, I believe anyone with brains knows how difficult Lao Zhang is to deal with.

Then all the reasoning once lost its meaning.

"Temporarily recruit elites from Section 2, Section 3 of the General Staff, and the Intelligence Department to gather in the file room of our department in the Office Building to carefully sort out the context from the beginning. There must be key clues that we missed."

The target was pointed at that man.

Before the Kwantung Army was even established, this 'research department' had already secretly entered the ranks of the Japanese military. Their duty was not to kill and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, but to seek benefits in the mysterious field.

"Reporting to Colonel, after careful confirmation, we determined that Qi Sihai is in the Xiashan Reservoir. He has been living in seclusion there for at least half a year."

He knew where the Xiashan Reservoir was. It was not close to Luda. It was a lake located in the west of Qingdao, Shandong Province. Because Germany was defeated in World War I, the Japanese wanted to fully accept the overlord's terms, so he knew that the Xiashan Reservoir was a beautiful place. It was a good place for recuperation and vacation, but Nai Ho underestimated the bloody nature of the Yanhuang people. Below was the student-worker demonstration, and above was the diplomatic representative's refusal to sign in Paris, which led to the Japanese country's wishful thinking being in vain.

The real situation is that this mysterious department is indeed very mysterious. Even the Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, Saito Tsune, cannot be mobilized. There are only two places that can mobilize them. One is from the core upper echelons of the country's cabinet, and the other is from the country's spiritual shrine. direct order.

He must have noticed something before he responded, but the record showed that there were not many experts outside the customs who could do anything. In addition, in order to cover up others' eyes, he invited Qin Jueqi Sihai from far away in Shaanxi to deal with the Onmyoji.

silence.

The two sides have been fighting on the black soil for more than ten years. It is definitely impossible to hide everything from Zhang Yuting.

The members all have multiple identities. They are expatriates from the business community, important members of the military, and even the Onmyoji of the Soul-Calling Shrine.

Judging from the military rank, Colonel is not low, but compared with the real big guys in the Kwantung Army, it is still not good enough. Commander-in-chief Nobuyoshi Muto is a general, and the general staff Saito Tsune is a major general. Which one is not behind the intertwined clan forces?

But this colonel is really easy to adjust.

Because his name is Tsuchimikado Toaki, he is a direct descendant of Tsuchimikado Yasutomi, the founder of Tsuchimikado Shinto, and the blood of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei flows in his body.

Even after the Meiji Restoration, Onmyodo was abolished and converted to Shintoism, but the establishment of the Summoning Shrine was based on the core team of Onnyangryo. Without these knowledgeable people in the circle, the Summoning Shrine would be a shell. Emperor Mutsuhito and others No matter how smart you are, you won't be able to hold a training class for aliens in the short term.

The 'results' of the Tsuchimikado family over the years were indeed remarkable, so Mutsuhito left a secret order before his death to give more authority to the core officials in the Summoning Shrine, and the local governor had no jurisdiction. Even if Muto Nobuyoshi and the others knew about the temporary recruitment of personnel, they would turn a blind eye and treat it as a transparent matter.

Even though the Japanese military bosses are quarreling with each other, no one dares to offend these officers who are essentially affiliated with the Soul-Calling Shrine. Make friends as much as possible. If you can't help transfer money, don't be secretly targeted. .

The Japanese value efficiency very much.

Not long after, all the people Tsuchimikado Toaki wanted were in place.

The file room was very busy. No one dared to complain about the temporary overtime work, and everyone worked overtime with great energy.

In order to avoid finding a needle in a haystack, the intelligence surrounding Qi Shihai was initially analyzed, but after no clues could be found, Tsuchimikado Toaki decided to expand the scope.

From half a year to one year, two years, three years.

The locations range from Sunjiawan, Fengtian, and even the entire Feng Province.

All strange incidents are within the scope of investigation, and we are determined to find the relationship hidden among them.

Insulting and belittling your enemy is demeaning yourself.

Regardless of morality or position, the intelligence system is indeed beyond the reach of Fengjun. All walks of life in Fengjun Province have been riddled with holes by them. They even went so far as to find out how much incense money a certain monk in a certain temple had embezzled. Several kiln sisters.

Thinking hard.

And trying to find clues in the massive amount of intelligence will definitely require a lot of energy and time.

Six whole days passed.

After continuously working overtime and shifts, Tsuchimikado Toaki finally smelled a strange smell.

Last spring, before the Sunjiawan incident, something evil happened in Fengtian City. Troop 837 knew about this incident and knew that it was caused by zombies. Later, the Fengtian department publicized that there was no such thing at all, but internally it said The Guards Brigade dispatched its elite to kill the dirty things.

Of course Tsuchimikado Toaki didn't believe it.

Things are getting heated, can we just send some troops to settle things? Clearly lying.

But Tsuchimikado Toaki didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, the place where the accident happened was not Luda. The next time there is a zombie apocalypse, it would be better to kill the brothel to make it beautiful.

That's not the point.

To push forward.

A very inconspicuous piece of information.

Before the evil incident occurred in Fengtian City, a teahouse was opened in Taoguantun, Anshan. It was run by a partnership of three owners. All three of them knew the five elements, numerology, and Taoism. They were quite famous in the neighborhood. Even the local district chief was influenced by them. of kindness.

And just when the business was at its most prosperous, two of them suddenly went to Fengtian City to pay homage to the fallen soldiers at Juliu River. The time was just a few days before evil happened in the city. There were no clues about their whereabouts after that. They appeared after the Sunjiawan incident and they returned to Fengtian City.

If these are still vague, then an earlier piece of information is equivalent to a series of spider threads.

Earlier, Yiguandao intercepted and killed Gao Shou, and the Sandwich Tea House suddenly closed down during the twelfth lunar month when business was booming. No one knew where they went. The intelligence only showed that the local district chief borrowed one of their cars, and they were obviously in a hurry to get on their way. .

After the teahouse reopened, the biggest conflict between Yiguandao and Da Chongjiu came to an end. Interestingly, there was a young man in the team that intercepted Gao Shou. He had a Shaanxi accent and used the same magic technique as Qi Sihai. , it is not an exaggeration to say that they are both master and disciple.

Tsuchimikado Daoqiu boldly hypothesized that if they were really masters and apprentices, then Qi Sihai would definitely take revenge crazily due to his character. In other words, Qi Sihai suddenly came to Feng Province, and he might not be targeting the Summoning Shrine, but for his apprentices. revenge.

"Zhao Sanyuan, Kang Mu'ang. Li Dongzhi. Liu Mangfan. Yaowanggu. Dachongjiu. Zhang Yuting. Qi Sihai."

Having said that, Tsuchimikado Daoqiu knew about Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang. They were the two people who helped Li Dongzhi solve the problem of the haunted incident of the Fengzhou Railway Engineering Team a few years ago, and the subsequent incident of the Li family's old house being transformed into a coffin. young people.

However, his character was so low that Tsuchimikado Toaki didn't take a serious look at him at all. He just regarded him as a little person with some skills, not worth wasting energy to care about.

But something unexpected happened, and now we have to re-evaluate the connection between these things.

"Because of Li Dongzhi's relationship, Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Mu'ang have the opportunity to come into contact with Zhang Yuting. If they solve the zombie incident in Fengtian City, it is equivalent to the best door-knocking brick. Zhang Yuting's temperament will definitely take advantage of it. Logic says Pass."

Tsuchimikado Toaki sat on the bench and lowered his head in thought.

His reasoning went well.

It wasn't until the Eastern Conference stage that he stopped moving forward.

strength.

What kind of person is Qi Sihai?

If he really wanted to stop Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang who killed his apprentice at Dongda University, would these two boys be able to escape?

Don't be kidding, the Summoning Soul Shrine knows that all the eight skills are not in vain, and all of them possess unique skills.

Qi Sihai wanted to take action, but they couldn't run away.

But in fact, they did run away. Could it be that Qi Sihai let loose? That's even more impossible. Did he run from Shaanxi to the outside of the customs to release water?

Either those two boys are very strong, or someone is helping.

Tsuchimikado Toaki prefers the latter.

Reason made him absolutely not believe that two boys in their forties could stop Qi Sihai.

And there are still too many unanswered questions to make any conclusions.

But things were much clearer than before. Tsuchimikado Toaki left the bench and went to his private room. When the door of the room was opened and closed, he could vaguely see that the layout inside was quite mysterious.
It didn't take long for Tsuchimikado Toaki to walk out of the room. He was inspired to follow this clue and he would definitely not go wrong.

"Someone is coming."

"Colonel."

"Immediately spread out the troops and divide them into three groups. The first group will select capable elites to go to Xiashan Reservoir. I want to know whether Qi Sihai is involved."

"The second way is to go to the Sandwich Teahouse in Taoguantun, Anshan. Even if the owners are far away, we should try our best to find clues there."

"The third party went to bribe the officials around Li Dongzhi, the Secretary of State for Construction. There must be a definite answer as to whether Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang were introduced to Zhang Yuting."

Whether it was the Sandwich Teahouse or Qi Sihai, the person who killed the Onmyoji in Sunjiawan and targeted the Soul-Calling Shrine was one of them, and there was no mistaking it.
