Espionage, codenamed Ant, moving expert

Zhao Kui heard the noise and came out to investigate.

Seeing that the Japanese were up to no good, he roared:

"Boss, run! I'll cover you."

As he spoke, he reached for his gun at his waist, only to find nothing.

Then he remembered that Chen Zheng hadn't let him bring a gun when they entered Japan.

No matter what, he had to buy time for his boss, so Zhao Kui raised his fists and charged forward to fight for his life.

Chen Zheng came out of the cabin and grabbed him in time:

"Don't act impulsively, let's wait and see."

Zhao Kui shielded Chen Zheng behind him, and the two military police at the front pinned him against the wall with bayonets, rendering him unable to move.

Then, a Japanese colonel stepped forward and said in fluent Chinese:

"This must be Mr. Chen Zheng, the owner of Miki Trading Company. I am Colonel Nakagawa from the First Battalion of the Tokyo Military Police Headquarters. I need your assistance in investigating something. Please come with me."

The commander of the Shanghai military police was only a colonel, but here he could only be a battalion commander. Tokyo is indeed a higher level.

Before Chen Zheng could speak, Nan Tian, ​​who had just come out of his cabin, spoke up:

"Colonel Nakagawa, I am Colonel Nantian, the director of the Shanghai Reconstruction Project Office. What has Mr. Chen done wrong? Please tell me the truth so that I can report to the Shanghai Garrison Commander, General Terauchi."

The renovation project in Shanghai is in full swing and is inseparable from Boss Chen and Sanmu Trading Company.

I want you to know one thing: Miki Trading Company is the largest trading company in China, jointly funded by the Mitsui and Ii families. The details of their relationship are self-evident; you understand.

Nakagawa did not react when he heard about Terauchi Shogun, but he frowned when Minamida mentioned the Mitsui and Ii families.

If it's just related to the temple, one is in Shanghai and the other in Tokyo, so there's no need to worry about it.

But with these two companies involved, things have become more complicated.

A robbery occurred in Tokyo last night, where seven warehouses were completely looted, leaving not even a nail behind.

The homes of four high-ranking members of the Imperial Cabinet were burgled simultaneously, and many state secrets were stolen.

Either of these incidents would be enough to give the military police commander and the Metropolitan Police Commissioner a run for their money.

After a joint emergency investigation, the target was finally identified as Chen Zheng, a Chinese national.

Because he arrived in Tokyo yesterday, and the robbery happened that very night.

More importantly, the finance minister's assistant had met him once before.

In front of him, he received intelligence from Nantian, the former head of the Special Higher Police Section and now the director of the Shanghai Reform Office, and Kishimoto, the chief police officer of Shanghai.

The intelligence was lost that very night, which gives reason to suspect that Chen Zheng was a spy for China.

This is a conclusion reached simultaneously by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Commander of the Military Police.

The real purpose was to make Chen Zheng a scapegoat to appease their superiors. Unexpectedly, this Chinese man was on good terms with the Mitsui and Ii families!

Although Nakagawa knew things were complicated, the die was cast and he had no choice but to take the man back first.

"Colonel Minamida, I am only acting under orders, please do not obstruct me."

You know the consequences of obstructing the military police.

Nantian, unusually assertive, refused to back down.

"I didn't mean to stop the military police. I just hope Colonel Nakagawa will tell me the truth. You don't want to be punished by Army Headquarters, do you?"

Both were colonels, and neither could suppress the other.

Nantian carried out the Army Headquarters, forcing Nakagawa to reveal the reason:

"Colonel Minamida, seven warehouses in Tokyo were looted last night. Four cabinet ministers' homes were burglarized, and many confidential documents were stolen."

Chen is the prime suspect, and the arrest warrant was issued simultaneously by the Military Police Headquarters and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

As he spoke, Nakagawa produced an arrest warrant, which was indeed jointly issued by the Military Police Headquarters and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"I didn't mean to make things difficult for Mr. Chen; I just wanted to take him back for questioning."

You can contact Army Headquarters and request personnel from the Military Police Command and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department; I will certainly carry out orders.

Nakagawa's words were very clear, and Nantian, not being a fool, immediately said to Zhao Kui:

"Give me all the money you have, don't obstruct the military police, and wait patiently at the dock for news."

Zhao Kui refused and looked at Chen Zheng. Seeing Chen Zheng nod, he handed over the wallet containing the money to Nan Tian.

Nantian opened his briefcase and took out 10,000 yen, giving it to Nakagawa.

"Please treat Mr. Chen well. I will contact the Army Headquarters and the Mitsui and Ii families immediately."

Nakagawa took the money and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Nantian, no one will make things difficult for Boss Chen within 24 hours. But I can't guarantee that after 24 hours."

Chen Zheng didn't say a word during this time, until just before leaving, when he said to Zhao Kui:

"You take the boat back, I'll be back in a few days, don't worry."

Zhao Kui, with his neck stiff, said:

"No, I'm not going back. I'll wait here."

Chen Zheng kicked him:

"Just go back when I tell you to, why all the nonsense?"

Only if you leave, and something happens in Tokyo, can I clear my name. Get the hell out of here.

Zhao Kui understood the meaning behind Chen Zheng's words and immediately nodded to indicate that he would go back by boat.

The boss's meaning was clear: he wanted me to go back and gather more people to cause trouble in Tokyo and clear his name. I needed to hurry back and get as many people as possible.

I heard that Xiao Jiu has a cargo ship in his possession and will be back in a couple of days.

If Chen Zheng knew that Zhao Kui was thinking this way, he would definitely kick him to death.

After taking the money, Nakagawa treated Chen Zheng better, invited him into the car, and didn't tie him up.

Nantian hurriedly went to Lianxi Temple and informed the Mitsui and Ii families.

Kishimoto didn't come out of his cabin until everyone had left, and then feigned concern to ask Zhao Kui what had happened.

Zhao ignored him and went straight back to his cabin, plotting how to get rid of Kishimoto after returning to Shanghai.

Damn it, Kishimoto and Minamida both took the money last night.

Nantian at least knew how to speak up for the boss, but Kishimoto, that son of a bitch, hid in his room watching the show. Only after the boss was taken away did he come out to curry favor.

When you get back to Shanghai, you'll be the first person I deal with.

Actually, this can't be blamed on Kishimoto.

He was just a chief constable, not nearly as good as a colonel in the military.

If it were to plead for Chen Zheng, it would only get a few slaps from Zhongchuan and nothing else.

With Nantian around, he simply stayed in his cabin and didn't come out.

As the car approached an intersection, Nakagawa suddenly said to the driver:

"Don't go to the Metropolitan Police Department yet, drive to headquarters."

The original plan was to arrest the person, send them directly to the Metropolitan Police Department, torture them to get a confession, and that would be the end of it.

After learning about Chen Zheng's background, Nakagawa changed his mind and took him to the military police headquarters, locked him up in jail, and protected him.

Let's wait until tomorrow and see who from the Army Headquarters and Mitsui Ii will protect this Chinese national before deciding on our next move.

Chen Zheng kept his eyes closed the whole way, resting and preparing for the evening.

He has space; he can leave whenever he wants, no matter where he is.

The main reason is that they don't want to expose their identity and go from the open to the covert.

Last night, due to time constraints, we only managed to receive goods from seven warehouses.

The Japanese pirates kept him here, which gave them the time and opportunity to pull off another big heist tonight.

I think the Emperor of Japan is in Tokyo. I didn't remember last night, so I'll go visit him tonight.

Let's add fuel to the fire for the Emperor, set off some fireworks and firecrackers, and make it lively.
