Chapter 246: Investigation of the Cause
Hearing Ryoichi Nakayama's words, Lu Chengzhou was also very "angry", but also had some "doubts".
"Why not the military commander? As far as I know, the Communist Party generally doesn't do this kind of thing. Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Yesterday morning, Zhang Sichang discovered Ma Wenxiang...... "Zhongshan Liangichi is not good at this time, and told Lu Chengzhou about Zhang Sichang's discovery of Ma Wenxiang yesterday and the arrest of Ma Wenxiang by Takahashi Toyoichi.
"I know what happened the day before yesterday, but I really don't know anything about yesterday. If someone tells me, I will definitely not let Ma Wenxiang succeed. Lu Chengzhou sighed and said.
In hindsight, anyone will be.
This kind of afterthought, anyone can put it, but Lu Chengzhou can do it.
"What's the use of talking about that now?" Ryoichi Nakayama glanced at Lu Chengzhou dissatisfied.
"Zhang Sichang has a lot of responsibility for yesterday's incident." Lu Chengzhou was very "self-blamed", although he did not participate in the operation, Zhang Sichang was his deputy after all.
"Zhang Sichang's performance, although it is a little abnormal." Ryoichi Nakayama said slowly.
"I didn't participate in the operation, but listening to what you said, Zhang Sichang doesn't seem to be arresting Ma Wenxiang, but has a kind of meaning to cooperate with Ma Wenxiang." Lu Chengzhou said softly.
Zhang Sichang first discovered Ma Wenxiang, although he tracked down to No. 7 Songshanli, but did not find Ma Wenxiang.
At most, that is, traces of Ma Wenxiang's activities in that nameless hotel were found.
Zhang Sichang's performance is not abnormal.
However, yesterday morning, Zhang Sichang met Ma Wenxiang on the street, which was like singing.
"How could you have such an idea?" Ryoichi Nakayama said in surprise.
"The probability of Ma Wenxiang meeting Zhang Sichang on the street can be said to be very low. He also prepared a note with the address and money in advance, could it be that Ma Wenxiang is a god? He knew that he could meet Zhang Sichang on the street? Also, last night, Ma Wenxiang called the Daxing grocery store again. Since Ma Wenxiang knows the phone number of the Daxing grocery store, why do he need to do more? Lu Chengzhou analyzed.
The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and yesterday everyone felt that this was just a coincidence.
However, after Lu Chengzhou's analysis, there are too many coincidences.
"Actually, I didn't wait for Ma Wenxiang yesterday afternoon, and Toyoichi Takahashi should have woken up." When Zhongshan Liangyi heard Lu Chengzhou's words, he felt more and more reasonable.
"Squad leader Takahashi has done a good job of secrecy, and even I, the director of the intelligence department, don't know anything about yesterday's operation. However, judging from the final results, Ma Wenxiang knows a lot about our actions. To put it mildly, it seems that we have communicated with him in advance before we act. The more Lu Chengzhou spoke, the more excited he became.
"What do you mean that some of us do things for the Communist Party?" When Ryoichi Nakayama said this, he was also taken aback.
If that's the case, it's terrible.
"I don't dare to say that." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
He really can't say without evidence.
However, yesterday's operation failed and Takahashi caught fire, both of which proved one thing, intelligence leakage.
And the biggest suspect in the intelligence leak is Zhang Sichang.
Although Lu Chengzhou didn't say it, his meaning was already very clear.
Last time, Lu Chengzhou and Toyoichi Takahashi also said something similar.
It's just that at the time, he just felt abnormal.
And today, it is almost directed at Zhang Sichang.
Ryoichi Nakayama is not a fool, if something so big happens, of course he must sum up the lessons and find out the reasons.
Zhang Sichang's loyalty, Zhongshan Ryoichi did not doubt it before.
After all, Zhang Sichang and Toyoichi Takahashi, including him, all came out of the Nozaki Mansion.
Before Lu Chengzhou joined the Nozaki Mansion, Zhang Sichang had already become an intelligence officer of the Nozaki Mansion.
If Zhang Sichang was an undercover agent of the Communist Party, he would have been exposed a long time ago.
However, if Zhang Sichang has no problem, then who will have a problem?
The personnel involved in the operation, except for Zhang Sichang, were all Japanese.
Does it make Ryoichi Nakayama suspicious of the Japanese?
This is impossible, and in the mind of Ryoichi Nakayama, the Japanese will definitely not have a problem.
"Zhang Sichang is your subordinate, and this matter will be handed over to you to investigate." Ryoichi Nakayama said solemnly.
There are spies inside, and that's no joke.
"Yes." Lu Chengzhou responded.
Lu Chengzhou first sent someone to monitor Zhang Sichang, a task that could only be performed by Jin Lianzhen.
Jin Lianzhen was originally a member of the military command monitoring group, and he still has some ability in terms of stalking.
"You've just arrived, and you can't afford to fail this mission. Once Zhang Sichang finds out, you spy on him, the mission fails, and you don't have to come to work again in the future. Lu Chengzhou admonished.
"I promise I won't let him find out." Jin Lianzhen said firmly.
"Do you know how to use a camera? If you can use it, go to the general affairs department and get one. I want to know where Zhang Sichang has gone and who he has met. Lu Chengzhou said coldly.
"I know how to use a camera." Jin Lianzhen said busily.
The use of a camera is a must for an agent.
When Lu Chengzhou was about to leave, the phone in the room rang, and it was Ryoichi Nakayama who called, asking him to go over quickly.
When Lu Chengzhou arrived at Ryoichi Nakayama's office, Toyoichi Takahashi also arrived.
"Kiyoshi Miyamoto is dead!" After Zhongshan Liangyi waited for Lu Chengzhou to come in, he said with a straight face.
"Kiyoshi Miyamoto is dead? Who did this to you? Lu Chengzhou asked in surprise.
"It is not known at this time, he died at home, and it is said that he died accidentally." Ryoichi Nakayama said slowly.
In the past few days, everything that has happened seems to be strange.
However, he couldn't say what was strange.
"If there is any accidental death, I think it was done by anti-Japanese elements." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"I agree with Lu Sang, Miyamoto Kiyoshi is a good person, how can he die at home?" Toyoichi Takahashi said immediately.
"I want you to take a look together to determine the true cause of Miyamoto Kiyoshi's death." Ryoichi Nakayama said.
Miyamoto Kiyoshi is a subordinate of Takahashi Yu, and Lu Chengzhou is a graduate of the police training institute and an active police officer, so let Lu Chengzhou go, so he can make a more professional judgment.
Lu Chengzhou slipped home and changed into civilian clothes, before meeting up with Toyoichi Takahashi and taking a car to Suma Street in the Japanese Concession.
"Squad Leader Takahashi, Captain Nakayama also told me about your actions yesterday, and I think it must be an intelligence leak." After Lu Chengzhou got in the car, he said firmly.
"Do you suspect Zhang Sichang?" Toyoichi Takahashi said that Ryoichi Nakayama had already told him about it.
Lu Chengzhou told him before that Zhang Sichang's behavior was a little abnormal, and he didn't pay attention to it at that time.
However, yesterday's actions, as well as the fire at Takahashi in the early hours of this morning, gave him a wake-up call.
"I can't think of anyone else but him. I have already sent someone to monitor Zhang Sichang, and when the time comes, I may need the cooperation of Squad Leader Takahashi. Lu Chengzhou said.
The "Sun-Breaking Plan" has been carried out so far, and it can be said that it has gone very smoothly.
At the beginning, Lu Chengzhou formulated this plan, mainly to get rid of Miyamoto Qing.
Miyamoto Qing shot Jiang Zhiyuan, and it was absolutely impossible for Lu Chengzhou to spare him.
Lu Chengzhou was waiting for an opportunity, this time Ma Yuzhen served as his own traffic officer, she and Zhang Sichang met at No. 22 Comber South Road, Lu Chengzhou decided to eliminate Zhang Sichang in order to remove the potential danger for Ma Yuzhen.
At the same time as clearing Zhang Sichang, Miyamoto was eliminated by the way.
"No problem." Toyoichi Takahashi said firmly.
Looking for a mole, he is naturally very active.
At Miyamoto Kiyoshi's house on Suma Street, Lu Chengzhou saw Miyamoto Kiyoshi's body.
Miyamoto Kiyoshi's death is not much the same as last night, but the sake bottle is poured aside.
Obviously, after the corpse became cold, the center of gravity shifted, and the bottle could not support it.
The people from the police station of the Japanese Concession Resident Corps were investigating the scene, and they were able to enter after revealing their identities.
Although Lu Chengzhou came to look for clues, in fact, he wanted to find out if he had any flaws left last night.
Toyoichi Takahashi approached Kiyozo Terada, who was in charge of investigating the case at the police station.
Kiyozo Terada is a medium-sized, thirty-year-old man who has been a police officer in the Japanese Concession for many years and speaks fluent Chinese.
"From the current information, the deceased died accidentally." Terada Kiyozo said with a deep groan.
"Kiyoshi Miyamoto lives alone?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Not bad." Terada Kiyozo glanced at Lu Chengzhou and said.
"Did Kiyoshi Miyamoto have any visitors last night? Did the people around you hear any movement? Lu Chengzhou asked again.
Last night, Miyamoto Kiyoshi was at the door and called him "Lu Jun".
This word, if it is heard, is also very troublesome.
"There are no reports on this yet." Terada Kiyozo shook his head.
Lu Chengzhou did not stay in the house, but personally visited the next door and the surroundings, and the people living next door were all Japanese, who could not speak or understand Chinese.
This made Lu Chengzhou feel at ease, Miyamoto Qing's sentence "Lu Jun" was not loud, even if it was transmitted to the next door, they might not be able to understand it.
Lu Chengzhou remembered that when he arrived at Miyamoto Kiyoshi's house, there were no people on the street.
Toyoichi Takahashi and Lu Chengzhou, although they really want to prove that Miyamoto Kiyoshi was murdered.
But judging from the situation at the scene, as well as Lu Chengzhou's visit, Miyamoto Kiyoshi was drunk and accidentally pushed down, and just happened to hit the sake bottle with his Adam's apple.
Of course, the final result needs to be further examined.
For example, it is necessary to analyze Miyamoto Kiyoshi to see if there is any alcohol residue in his stomach to know whether this inference can be established.
"Lu Sang, do you think that Miyamoto Kiyoshi's death was an accident or man-made?" On the way back, Toyoichi Takahashi suddenly asked.
"All the evidence so far points to accidents. However, Miyamoto Kiyoshi was a member of the gendarmerie detachment, and his accidental death was not necessarily an accident. Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"yes, I don't feel like an accident either. However, no evidence could be found. Toyoichi Takahashi said with a sigh.
"I'll leave this matter to Terada Kiyozo. If there is progress, we will investigate again. At the moment, I have only one mission, to investigate Zhang Sichang, and I don't believe he is innocent. Lu Chengzhou led the topic to Zhang Sichang again.
"Actually, since the day before yesterday, I have been monitoring Zhang Sichang." Toyoichi Takahashi said suddenly.
