"Matsumoto Daisa, are you really unwilling to say anything?"

No matter what the situation, Koichi Hawara is always very polite when interrogating prisoners, as if the opposite person is not the prisoner, but his own guest.

"Habara Nakasa, I repeat again, I am a soldier of the Empire, and I will never betray my country." Hitotsugu Matsumoto's face was full of anger:

"You must not insult me like this!"

"Matsumoto Daisa, if I insult you, please accept my apology." Hakuhara Koichi said politely, "But your daughter, how do you explain?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know."

When it came to his daughter, as if he had caught his weakness, Matsumoto Renji muttered: "I really don't know that Matsuko did these things, Habara Nakasa, have you really found out?" ”

Hikaru Habara nodded: "It's very clear to check, but it's a pity that Matsuko is missing and gone, and even you don't know where she went, right?" ”

In fact, at this time, Matsumoto Renji had already vaguely guessed that his daughter was really related to these things.

Why?

Why did Matsuko do this?

This is a betrayal of one's own country.

"I don't know what Makoko did, and I don't know where she is now."

Matsumoto Hitotsugu perked up: "If she really does something that is sorry for the empire, I am willing to take all the responsibility." ”

This is a father's love for his daughter.

Hakuhara Hikaru sighed in his heart: "So, where do you think Matsuko will be now?" She shouldn't have left Shanghai so soon. Can you, as her father, give us any clues? ”

In this moment, Matsumoto Rentsugu made a decision.

If the real hammer falls into their hands, it must be worse than death.

He knew what they were going to do.

Makoko is still a child.

Matsumoto Hitotsugu suddenly said, "I did it." ”

"What did you say?" Hikaru Habara was stunned one by one.

"I did it all." Matsumoto Renji said expressionlessly: "When I went to Nanjing, I instructed Makoko to go. Contact with Ji Quanrong is also the real son of my command. I was bought by Meng Shaoyuan early on, and I have been helping the Chinese. Masako was just used by me. ”

Koichi Habara was silent.

After a while, he stood up and bowed deeply to Matsumoto Renji: "Your Excellency, I admire your love for your daughter. If one day I had a baby, I swear, I would do the same. But now, it's none of my business, it's the Empire, so I can't believe you. ”

"Habara Nakasa, please." Matsumoto Renji actually pleaded and said, "I will bear all the charges, please tell Your Excellency the head of the agency and allow me to cut my stomach, so that everyone has an explanation." ”

Hawara Koichi muttered for a long time: "I will convey your words to His Excellency the Director." ”

"Thank you, Hahara-kun!"

……

"That's what he said?"

"Yes, that's what he said."

Kenji Dohihara didn't mean to be angry at all.

Even, looking at his appearance, he may have guessed that Matsumoto Hitotsugu would say this:

"Habara Nakasa, what do you mean?"

"I can confirm that Matsumoto Rentsugu doesn't know about Matsumoto's business." Koichi Habara said with certainty: "Even if Makoko is caught, the information she can provide must be pitiful, and once it is fanfare, it will inevitably become a scandal for the Empire." ”

That's where I'm most worried.

A Japanese spy agency, one of the dignified "Three Tigers of the Empire", couldn't even look down on his own daughter and was used by the military commanders.

Big scandal!

Especially after the explosion of the Shojin Bank and the assassination of Nagakei Yamamoto.

Hitotsugu Matsumoto is one of the representative figures of the Japanese Army's secret services.

"He is not qualified to seppuku, seppuku is an honor that only a samurai deserves!"

Kenji Dohihara said coldly.

"So, let him go to the front?" Koichi Habara asked tentatively.

"To the front?" Kenji Dohihara snorted coldly: "He doesn't have this qualification either." Habara Nakasa, I think you've already figured out what to do since you were able to come to me, right? ”

"Yes."

Habara Koichi hesitated for a moment and said, "Whether it is the Zhengjin Bank bombing case or the assassination case of Yamamoto Nagakei, it is far from enough to rely on a Chinese Ji Yunqing to bear the responsibility. ”

In an instant, Kenji Dohihara understood what he meant.

An army commander who bears all the blame for the crime, that is the best choice.

Kenji Tsuchihara was a little tired: "Then, you can do it." ”

Helpless.

Shanghai is far more complex than you can imagine.

The strength of the military commander and Meng Shaoyuan here is far beyond his imagination.

He was even forced to take an army chief to apologize for his crimes.

Disgrace!

Kenji Dohihara swears that he will not forget such a shame!

……

"Is that really what Your Excellency said?"

"Yes, Matsumoto Daisa, I can guarantee it."

"Can you promise not to bother with the real coffin again?"

"I can't promise you." Koichi Habara said calmly, "As long as she doesn't continue to help our enemies." Your Excellency, this is your only choice. ”

Matsumoto Renji nodded slightly: "Bring a pen and paper." ”

He picked up his pen, thought for a moment, and then wrote:

“…… Therefore, I can't shirk my responsibility for the Zhengjin Bank bombing...... Nagakei Yamamoto was stabbed entirely because of my negligence...... I should have reported to His Majesty the Emperor by seppuku, but my guilt makes me unqualified to do so......"

He solemnly signed his name:

"Alright, Habara Nakasa, you can send me back."

……

Koichi Habara watched as Hitotsugu Matsumoto put his neck in a noose.

Hitotsugu Matsumoto took one last look at the world:

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Then he kicked the stool over with all his might.

Koichi Habara had been watching calmly all the time.

Until Matsumoto Rentsugu's body stopped struggling......

……

On November 4, 1938, the former head of the Japanese Army's special service in Shanghai hanged himself in his residence.

In his suicide note, he took all the recent events to himself.

The Japanese side was deeply shocked to learn of the suicide of Matsumoto Hitotsugu.

But they chose to keep a low profile.

The announcement on the other side was that Matsumoto Rentsugu's mental pressure was too great.

At this point, the so-called "Imperial Three Tigers" of the Japanese intelligence agency, Akagi Kinyuki was assassinated, and Matsumoto Renji committed suicide.

There is only one Gu Fanyuan Road left.

The Three Tigers of the Empire collapsed.

Their prestige in Japan was finally buried in the land of Shanghai.

This is the Shanghai of Chinese at all times!
