Chapter 1394: The Truth
I've met a professional Japanese spy......
Wang Tianmu's face turned even paler.
After the examination, fearing that they would bite their tongues, the Japanese stuffed the mouths of two people again.
Inside the two piles of clothes, a pile of miscellaneous pieces was poured out.
Two pistols, four grenades......
The gun is just that, these four grenades, Wang Tianmu is worried and bared his teeth.
How to get around?
But the Japanese only searched, but did not interrogate.
Two wades of money, a lot of money, two cigarette boxes, and a kerosene lighter, which belonged to Wang Tianmu and Chen Wu to matches.
The Japanese spies found a steel wire from the lighter and a blade from the fire box......
The leader of the spies smirked, stared at Wang Tianmu and asked, "How many accomplices are there?" ”
This time it was Chinese, but it was very blunt.
"Taijun, you are really wronged...... We are businessmen who do serious business...... "Wang Tianmu opened his mouth and shouted injustice.
The spy leader didn't speak, just sneered and waved his hand again.
He knew very well that if the other party was a professional spy, he would definitely not be able to interrogate easily, so there was no need to waste time here.
And the arrest is not big, and it is very fast, if there are really accomplices, send someone to guard here, maybe you can come out and wait for the rabbit......
did not dare to delay the time, the leader of the secret service immediately ordered most of the people to withdraw, leaving only a small team to squat here.
Wang Tianmu and Chen Wu were hooded and taken directly back to the Japanese military police headquarters in Beiping.
……
Consulate of Beiping.
Iwai Eiichi sat on the desk that originally belonged to the consul of Beiping, looking through a document.
As an ambassador to China, he is, to put it bluntly, the top foreign minister of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China.
Consulates throughout the country are under his jurisdiction.
This is also the result of Kagesa Zhenzhao sharing some of his power.
Before Wang Jingwei returned to China, before the establishment of the Nanjing puppet government, he also served as the nominal supreme administrator of all Japanese theaters......
And he personally ran to Beiping, naturally for the Kawashima assassination case.
Originally, he didn't have to work for him, first, his rank was too high, and second, it was also a limitation of the geographical nature.
Although nominally, North China is still under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing government, in fact, due to historical reasons, the traitorous government in North China is fundamentally self-reliant, and the leader is the famous traitor, Wang Kemin.
Even Kagesa Akira's influence is limited.
At most, Eiichi Iwai can meddle in diplomatic matters.
But in the end, he still came, and it was the result of the coordination between Seishiro Itagaki and others.
Itagaki, the post of chief of the general staff of the Japanese army invading China, is not in name only, the North China Front Army originally came from the Kwantung Army, and Itagaki has been deeply involved in the Kwantung Army for many years, and his influence is very huge whether it is North China or Northeast China.
Iwai Eiichi personally went to Nanjing to meet with Seishiro Itagaki and offered to come to Peking to investigate the cause of Kawashima's death.
The one used to convince these two was, of course, the assassin who stirred up the Shanghai chicken dog and did not crow.
Iwai believes that there is a high probability that this person was the one who assassinated Kawashima.
Shadow Sazhen Showa and Itagaki are actually very clear that this is just an excuse for Iwai Eiichi, and Iwai's real purpose is just to prove whether Kawashima's death has anything to do with the incident she recently investigated: whether Qi Xisheng is Fang Buwei.
But again, they knew that this was not in conflict with Iwai's investigation of the assassin.
Thinking about the past of this assassin, it doesn't seem to belong to the category of "people" at all, in case Iwai's guess is right, Kawashima was killed by this person, then it is necessary to find out the reason and purpose for his assassination of Kawashima.
And the most important point: the National Assembly is summoning the heavens, will this assassin sneak into Nanjing?
To this end, Itagaki personally coordinated the puppet government in North China and the North China Front, and fully cooperated with Iwai in investigating the matter.
Of course, the excuse was perfect: Kawashima himself had a position in the special high school section of the embassy in Shanghai, and he was originally a member of the foreign affairs system.
In order to prevent leakage of information, Iwai is not ordinarily cautious this time.
Knowing that he had been to Nanjing, and then came to Beiping, the entire Shanghai embassy was no more than a slap in the face.
So Yuan Shu didn't hear any wind at all......
Otherwise, when he saw Fang Buwei, he would definitely mention it, Fang Buwei would have expected the seriousness of the matter, and he would definitely remind Ma Chunfeng.
Naturally, Ma Chunfeng will definitely warn Wang Tianmu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and thinks that he is lucky to be the sky, and let him act carefully......
Unfortunately, there are no ifs!
When I arrived in Beiping, I learned that Kawashima was stabbed, and it was indeed as reported by the Beiping Consulate in a telegram: There was only one murderer, and under the noses of four bodyguards, he not only killed Kawashima but also interrogated him.
Iwai had to wonder if the assassin had something to do with the incident that Kawashima was investigating.
The timing was too coincidental.
To confirm this, it must first be confirmed that Kawashima's guess is valid.
Although it feels very arbitrary, Iwai Eiichi believes that at least Kawashima's thinking is right.
First of all, ask for proof, Fang Buwei is still alive or dead?
The national government doesn't have to think about it, if this person is really alive, there are few people who know about it, and none of these people can be bribed to make them tell the truth.
So we have to think of other ways to do it.
For example, people who are not related to Fang, his relatives, his friends......
The Japanese are no strangers to this so-called national hero, and they have also made great efforts to investigate.
As early as the period of all-out war, when Fang Buwei became famous, some of his materials were already on the desks of several high-ranking Japanese officials.
Among them is a detailed investigation of him.
Aside from all else, it is not a secret that at least all of Fang Buwei's family members have settled in the United States.
At that time, when the Kwantung Army secret service wanted to play a plan for Li Daitaozhuang against Fang Buwei, he also sent people to the United States to investigate, wanting to find Fang Buwei's cousin, it was best to control it directly, and use it as a handle to blackmail Xiao Zaiming, so that he could cooperate with Lin Zi'an to act in this play.
However, because Fang Buwei had already made arrangements, the agents sent to the United States returned in vain.
Including Zhao Jinshan, who almost worshipped Fang Buwei at that time, he also knew that Fang Buwei's family was in the United States.
Not to mention the internal military command, even the central unification side is also aware of this situation......
It didn't matter if I couldn't think of them together before, but Kawashima suddenly linked these two people together according to Hu Shan's words, and after a further comparison, you can find the problem.
Such a coincidence?
Qi Xisheng is also American?
This has to be flawless......
This is what Eiichi Iwai relies on the most, and it is also the basis for him to suspect that Kawashima's hypothesis may be valid......
Based on this, Iwai Eiichi learned Kawashima's method, arbitrarily assumed that Fang Buwei and Qi Xisheng were the same person, and then reversed:
Why would Fang not appear in the United States, and then in Anliangtang?
Why is his relationship with the Nanyang Overseas Chinese League so good, Yu Erjun is even willing to let his baby granddaughter act with him?
And maybe, it doesn't have to be acting?
Then Iwai Eiichi started with Yu Erjun and Situ Meitang and looked up all the information related to them.
It didn't take long for him to find out that three or five years ago, the Southeast Asian intelligence department of the foreign affairs system targeted Yu Erjun for an assassination.
The assassination mission failed, and the squad was almost wiped out.
The Nationalist Government took advantage of this and held a press conference to frame the empire for wanting to use this incident to drive a wedge between China and the United States.
Because the cruise ship that Yu Erjun was on at that time was an American......
This is not the point, the point is that the survivor's oral statement: the reason why this assassination plan failed was because Yu Erjun had an extremely powerful bodyguard by his side.
Nearly thirty people in the assassination team, all of whom died under the gun of this person?
It's, how can there be such a powerful person in this world......
As soon as he thought of this, for no reason, Iwai Eiichi thought of the assassin in Shanghai......
It seems that there really is such a powerful person?
Iwai's excited heart was about to jump out.
Could this bodyguard be the assassin?
If you think about it in depth, isn't it not for you?
Is it this time, Fang Buwei established contact with Yu Erjun, for the purpose of repaying his kindness, Yu Erjun did not attach great importance to the other party......
It was also because he witnessed the hero-like demeanor of Fang Bu, which made Yu Qiushui secretly feel emotional......
At this time, Iwai Eiichi couldn't wait to smash a few punches in his head.
How did Fang Buwei get the title of this national hero?
It was fought on the battlefield.
Swift as the wind...... Fighting planes, blowing up tanks, one person can fight bayonets with a hundred-person squad, and in the end he can survive......
This is not propaganda from the Nationalist government, but from the Imperial soldiers who were on the battlefield and witnessed what Fang did not do.
So, it's not a rumor, it's true......
Fang is not so powerful, this assassin is also so powerful, could it be that there are two such powerful people in this world at the same time?
No way!
But why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
Because it's dark under the lights.
Everyone thought that Fang Buwei was dead, but who could know that this person was still alive and well, living under everyone's noses, and even turned Shanghai upside down and made the Japanese Empire lose face......
Although I have already decided in my heart that this is the truth, it is the truth.
But Iwai Eiichi did not relax, but continued to confirm.
He compared the time when Qi Xisheng appeared in Shanghai with the time when the assassin killed people, which further verified this speculation.
These people were all killed when Qi Xisheng was in Shanghai......
And the beginning of the Assassin's disappearance happened to be the time when Nakamura sent Qi Xisheng back to Nanyang to find out the truth about Nanyang's internal migration......
Iwai Eiichi couldn't imagine how Fang Buwei did it, but he was already firmly convinced that Kawashima's guess was not wrong at all.
Qi Xisheng is Fang Buwei, and he is also the mysterious assassin, and he is the one who killed Kawashima and almost killed himself in the Shanghai Consulate......
What to do next, it's already logical.
Eiichi Iwai locked himself in his office for three days.
In the past three days, he has only done one thing, from Fang Buwei's point of view, guessing what he will do next?
Now that Kawashima has interrogated Fang Buwei, it is possible to know how Kawashima's basis for determining that he is Fang Buwei came from: Hu Shan.
Since he can kill Kawashima quietly, he can naturally kill Hu Shan, who is weaker in protection.
But Hu Shan is still alive and well?
Iwai Eiichi had to guess Fang Buwei's intentions and purposes?
Is it for temptation?
Trying to test his identity, has it been completely exposed?
How much attention does Kawashima attach to this matter?
Will it be considered that Kawashima's speculation is too arbitrary?
Now that Kawashima is dead, will anyone continue to investigate this matter?
Whether it is or not, as long as you keep an eye on Hu Shan and see where it will be taken in the end, whether it will be like Kawashima and attach so much importance to him, you can guess a rough idea.
Or, Fang Buwei kept Hu Shan, but was actually fishing?
If the people above Kawashima attach great importance to it, then it must be a big servant who takes over, such as him.
Fang didn't think about it, because his identity had been exposed anyway, so it was better to do a big ......
Based on such speculation, Iwai Eiichi concluded that Fang Buwei was still in Beiping.
Iwai believed that in addition to observing Hu Shan, Fang Buwei would definitely find a way to investigate to see if anyone linked Kawashima's death to the assassin who appeared in Shanghai, and Kawashima's suspicion of him.
Therefore, Iwai mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized on the Beiping side, laid a net of heaven and earth, and even directly released Hu Shan and Jin Huaiyu, and put Imamura, the military attache of the Beiping embassy in the embassy, in charge, putting on a false impression that "no one believes that Kawashima's speculation is true".
Where would he have thought that Fang Buwei was even crazier than he imagined, and ran directly to Nanjing......
"Dangdang!" There was a knock on the door twice, and Iwai shouted to come in, and the door was pushed open, revealing Imamura's excited and nervous face.
In order to keep it secret, Iwai did not bring an adjutant with him when he went to Beiping this time, and after he came, he appointed Imamura, who was quite related to him, as his temporary assistant.
Seeing the joy on Imamura's face that could not be concealed, Iwai's heart jumped: Do you want to catch Fang?
"What's the matter?" He asked, suppressed with excitement.
"Caught Wang Tianmu!" Imamura replied excitedly, "...... the head of the North China Special Administrative Region of the Military Command"
Wang Tianmu?
Iwai would be happy if he caught such a character in normal times, but now, his face was full of disappointment.
"It's just Wang Tianmu?" He asked again.
Imamura was stunned for a moment, not thinking about how His Excellency Iwai was not only unhappy, but looked very disappointed?
"There is another one, named Chen Wu, who is Wang Tianmu's subordinate...... I've already taken hostages and confirmed that it's ......"
Didn't you catch it?
Eichi Iwai sighed.
It is indeed a little disappointing, but it is also a major breakthrough to catch Wang Tianmu.
They are all military commanders, maybe Fang Buwei has a connection with Wang Tianmu, and Wang Tianmu also happens to know where Fang Buwei is hiding......
"How did you catch it?" He asked again.
"His men were asking for information about the assassination of His Excellency Kawashima, and they happened to ask one of the policemen we were planning...... The people below followed his men and found his hiding place......"
Wang Tianmu is asking about the details of Kawashima's assassination?
Isn't this something that Fang didn't instruct?
It seems that I really didn't guess wrong, Wang Tianmu, I may know where Fang Buwei is hiding......
Iwai stood up violently: "Take me to ......"
……
Wang Tianmu didn't expect that he planted it so suddenly, and he planted it so thoroughly.
He gritted his teeth and looked at a policeman sitting across from him, eager to pounce on him and bite it twice.
This bastard not only knows himself, but also an old acquaintance......
……
When Wang Tianmu was first brought in, he was still very calm.
Because the identity of the fur dealer is real, he can completely withstand the investigation of the Japanese.
He also expected how he planted it.
I don't know what the reason is, Kawashima's assassination completely annoyed the Japanese, and he was careless for a while, and he happened to step into the trap laid by the Japanese.
But it's okay, calm down, it's not that you can't fool the past.
Because Kawashima was indeed married, although his man was not a Mongol prince, he was a Mongol bandit.
It was for the sake of recruiting that Kawashima married Han Shaoyo at the behest of his uncle Prince Su and adoptive father Kawashima Naniwa.
But Kawashima was unwilling to be an ornament, let alone a tool for a political alliance, so he persisted for more than a year, and then secretly escaped to the Kwantung Army and threw himself under the command of Kenji Dohi Enji......
Later, after Kawashima developed, he took great care of Han Shaoyue and made him the commander of the Manchurian garrison......
And Chen Wu did know Han Shaoyuo, and had business dealings with Han Shaoyuo, doing the fur business, and the personal relationship was also very good.
Out of caution, when he left Tianjin and came to Beiping, Chen Wu also sent a telegram to Han Shaoyue, saying that he had heard that Kawashima had died, and asked Han Shaoyao if he wanted to help him inquire......
But without waiting for Han Shaoyo's reply, they came to Beiping.
Therefore, Wang Tianmu believes that it is very likely that he and Chen Wu will escape this difficulty.
And when he confessed, he said the same......
But who would have thought that they would meet old acquaintances here in the Japanese?
The police chief sitting across from him was a small policeman a few years ago, and he hadn't seen him for a few years, but he became the chief?
There is no need to guess, it must have been exchanged as a traitor.
That was seven years ago.
At that time, Wang Tianmu was the stationmaster of Tianjin Station, and was ordered by Ma Chunfeng to go to Beiping to carry out tasks.
After the task was completed, I routinely walked around the eight alleys, but I didn't want to have a dispute with someone for a sister.
Of course, the person was beaten to death by Wang Tianmu's men, and afterwards chopped up, put it into a box, and sank into the river.
But somehow the news leaked out, and the body was dug up, which became a big news in Beiping City, and it was also reported.
This is the famous Beiping box corpse case.
At that time, the commander of the Beiping military police was Jiang Xiaoxian, who was capable, courageous, and had a harder relationship.
As soon as I heard it, I naturally did not slack off.
As a result, this investigation found Wang Tianmu.
Wang Tianmu was detained in the police station for a month, and was interrogated almost every day.
And the director in front of him participated in his interrogation at that time......
What's more, the passing year is not good!
Wang Tianmu scolded hatefully.
