At nine o'clock in the morning of December 1, an office meeting was held on the 76th, Zhao Jingdong, Asano and others rushed back, and Tanaka Katsuei was also summoned to the 76th. Li Shiqun said with a stern expression: "The military commanders and bandits set up a treacherous plan to transport the stolen medicines to the front line in Changsha. The battle is imminent, and I am really ashamed that such a thing has happened, and it is not too late to make amends. General Kagezo ordered the arrest of key military commanders within 10 days to atone for their crimes, and this operation was personally commanded by me. ”

Ten days? Everyone present was taken aback, after the military commander succeeded, it was impossible not to guard against the counterattack of No. 76, and it was a fantasy to catch Zhou Chengbin and others in such a short time. No one dared to speak, and the atmosphere was awkward and stagnant.

Li Shiqun said: "On the way back to Shanghai, I thought about it carefully, and there is no need to hide that No. 76 was played by the military commander this time, and even if Zhou Chengbin and others had three heads and six arms, and there was no cooperation from the traitor, it would be difficult to do it. Speaking of this, Li Shiqun looked at everyone coldly: "This traitor, have the opportunity to access the core secrets of this operation, the greatest possibility - between you!" ”

Li Shiqun set the tone of No. 76 as a mole, and also showed that the biggest possibility was among the participants. Is this possible? Many people remembered the tragic death of Duan Wentao, and they didn't know who the bad luck would befall them, and they couldn't help but put themselves in danger.

Katsuei Tanaka felt even more abnormal: Could it be that Li Shiqun said this to himself? Fortunately, he is not the person of No. 76, and no one has the power to dispose of it except for General Ono, who is directly under the prefect.

Li Shiqun said: "From now on, I will be personally responsible for setting up a special team to screen out the traitors, and the specific work will be assisted by Secretary Liu." Secretary Liu—"

Liu Zezhi quickly stood up, Li Shiqun said: "You were injured and hospitalized, you did not participate in this operation, of course there is no suspicion, this is why I chose you to assist, but because of this, you don't understand the situation at all, the matter is big, you have the right to summon and interrogate all people, you must do your best to enter the state, enforce the law impartially, if you dare to be negligent, or even fake public and private, and fail to find out the spy within the time limit, I will hand over your crime of complicity in the traitor to General Yingzuo for disposal, do you understand?" ”

The injury had not yet healed, and Liu Zezhi, who was pale, broke out in a cold sweat and replied, "Yes, please rest assured that the director will go all out." ”

Li Shiqun ordered: "After the meeting, the people here, as well as all the personnel involved in this operation, write their own "Whereabouts Report" within one day and hand it to Secretary Liu, do you understand?" ”

The crowd stood up and replied, "I understand." ”

"Adjournment."

Li Shiqun walked out of the conference room, everyone had their own thoughts, chatted unintentionally, and dispersed.

Katsuei Tanaka walked to the parking lot and was about to get in the car and leave, when Liu Zezhi shouted behind him: "Tanaka-kun, please stay." He took two steps, caught up and said: "Tanaka-kun, there is something I want your understanding: I was ordered to track down the internal spies, the others are No. 76, only Tanaka-kun is from the Special Economic Work Office, Liu is inconvenient to occupy your time, just start with you, okay?" ”

Tanaka Katsuei has not worked for a long time in No. 76, and Liu Zezhi has no deep friendship, nor does he have any festivals, and his impression of Liu Zezhi, who is indispensable on weekdays, is not bad, Liu Zezhi's words are quite polite, Tanaka Katsuei replied: "It's okay, after this cutscene, I will save me another trip." ”

Liu Zezhi smiled: "That's what it means, Tanaka-kun come with me." ”

Liu Zezhi took Tanaka Shengei to the basement of the office building, and Tanaka Shengrong frowned slightly: Why did Liu Zezhi choose the interrogation location here? In an interrogation room, two operatives of the task force and Tetsu Kawasaki, a subordinate of Ryuzo Haraki, who was responsible for the record, were already waiting. Liu Zezhi smiled and said, "Tanaka-kun, please take a seat." ”

Liu Zezhi sat behind the presiding judge's desk, and Tanaka Katsuei had to sit on an iron round stool fixed on the ground opposite, he looked at his watch and said: "Secretary Liu, let's start, I won't tell you: I was ordered by General Ono to prepare for the establishment of a special team, and there are many things to ......."

Liu Zezhi said with a smile: "I know, then let's hurry up and make it clear that you can go back, so as not to delay your business." ”

Liu Zezhi spread out his notebook and said, "On November 17, Tanaka-kun followed General Ono to the monitoring station set up by Director Ni Xinni, and the general ordered you to replace Director Ni in command, is that so?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Zezhi's voice was unhurried: "Then you replaced Director Ni to command the operation, was it proposed by General Ono, or did you build it by Tanaka-kun?" ”

Katsuei Tanaka replied: "After Director Li reported to General Ono, the general and I discussed, and it was I who recommended myself to participate in this operation, so I applied to the general, and received the general's permission. ”

"Just to get involved? Right? It should be said that it is a command operation, right? ”

Tanaka Shengrong was slightly displeased, why did Liu Zezhi pursue these details? He sneered and didn't answer.

Liu Zezhi smiled and asked, "The request you made to General Ono, or rather, is it to participate in the operation?" Or command the action? ”

Katsuei Tanaka couldn't, so he could only reply: "It's to command the operation." ”

"Just now, Tanaka Jun said: The special team under your jurisdiction is being prepared, and the work is complicated, and there is no shortage of manpower in No. 76, why do you want to put down the work in your hand and General Jian Yì Ono sent you to replace Director Ni to command the operation?"

Tanaka Katsuei was speechless, he couldn't say bluntly that Ono Heiichiro was afraid that Li Shiqun's tail would not fall, and he didn't want to let the great work of arresting Zhou Chengbin and Chen Jinsong fall on No. 76, and he himself not only figured out Guò's operation to find eye-catching people and dig the corner of No. 76, but also wanted to make meritorious contributions in order to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai.

Tanaka Katsuei was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "I can't tell you this, since the general agreed to my suggestion, it means that my mention is reasonable, is there a lot, you can ask General Ono." ”

Liu Zezhi still smiled and said: "Tanaka-kun is joking, how can I be qualified to interrogate General Ono?" Even if General Ono is deceived, I can only report to Director Li, and Director Jian Yiì reminds the general. ”

Hoodwinked? Who is this talking about? A wave of anger arose, and Katsuei Tanaka got up and said, "What did you say?" Blinding the general? Are you talking about me? ”

Liu Zezhi's smile was still on his face, but the words were hidden in the brocade: "Now you are the only interrogator, who do you say I am talking about?" There are many reasons? What are the reasons? I would like to hear about it. ”

Tanaka Katsuei suppressed the anger in his heart and replied, "Maybe the general thinks that Director Ni is not able to catch it?" Or there may be reasons for inconvenience to be expressed......"

"Weak? I know that contrary to Tanaka-kun, Director Ni is deeply appreciated by General Ono, so it is inconvenient for people to speak out? It can't be that the general doesn't trust Director Ni, right? ”

"I don't know about this, didn't I build yì you to ask the parties?"

Liu Zezhi smiled: "Of course I have to ask, didn't I say it?" After the interrogation of Tanaka-kun is over, I will continue to interrogate others, the first of which is Director Ni. He and Tanaka-kun are the two biggest suspects. ”

"What? Who is the biggest suspect? Do you have proof? ”

Liu Zezhi smiled and continued: "Isn't this looking for evidence? Tanaka-kun, let's move on. I heard Director Ni say that he had ordered the personnel participating in the operation to monitor each other, not to leave their posts without permission, not to have contact with anyone else who did not participate in the operation, including telephone calls, to carry out tasks by more than two people, and not to act alone. After Tanaka-kun took over the command, he changed this arrangement and ordered Zhang Shengyu: "All personnel involved in the operation must ensure the necessary rest time and maintain energy, for which you arrange shifts to change guards, and those who are not on duty can rest and sleep." Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes, I said it, but it was when General Ono ordered Li Shiqun...... After Director Li regained command of the operation. ”

Liu Zezhi asked: "Yes, Director Li took over the command again at that time, so did you get Director Li's consent before giving the order?" ”

“…… No...... I don't think there's any need to ...... these little things."

"A trifle? Hmph, Tanaka-kun, when you had full authority to direct the operation, you did not change Director Ni's arrangement, because at that time, as the supreme commander, your actions were unlimited; Director Li took over the command again, you didn't ask for instructions in advance, didn't report afterwards, and changed the action plan without authorization, why? Could it be that someone wants to muddy the water, so that everyone has the opportunity to go out and is suspected of leaking secrets, so as to cover up their misdeeds? ”

Liu Zezhi's words were heart-wrenching, Tanaka Katsuei was furious, and his halberd pointed angrily: "Nonsense! Do you have proof? You have to take responsibility for the false accusations......"

Halfway through the conversation, Tanaka Katsuei suddenly realized that the situation was wrong: Liu Zezhi was authorized to screen for moles at the office meeting, and as soon as the meeting ended, he was brought here by Liu Zezhi, Liu Zezhi had been hospitalized before, and the specific process of the operation, including when he took over the command, Ni Xin's previous arrangements, what he said to Zhang Shengyu, etc., when did Liu Zezhi know? Looking at this formation, he is determined to embarrass himself, and he has not offended him on weekdays, so there is only one possibility: Liu Zezhi did it according to orders and was prepared. Whose order is it, do you need to ask?

Tanaka Katsuei figured out this, and said angrily: "Okay, you actually dare to take revenge, I am a samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, a subordinate of General Ono!" There's no need to talk any further, I'm going to meet General Ono. ”

Liu Zezhi smiled coldly and said, "If you don't make it clear, can you get out of No. 76?" Revenge for personal gain? Did I have a holiday with Tanaka-kun? ”

Tanaka Katsuei was furious, pointing at Liu Zezhi's anger and trembling: "What? You...... How dare you detain me? Licentious! You don't have that right! ”

"No. 76 was ordered by General Yingzuo to track down the spies, and Director Li once said: I have the right to summon and interrogate all those involved in the operation, and you were also present at the time, didn't you hear it?"

Tanaka Katsuei was anxious to get out, unwilling to have a verbal dispute with Liu Zezhi, and walked straight out.

Liu Zezhi ordered: "Come on, get his gun!" Locked up in a confinement cell. ”

Two operatives came up to accuse Tanaka Katsuei, Tanaka Katsuei wanted to resist, but then he thought about it: This is No. 76, although there are only two operatives in the house, but there are guards at the door, under the eaves of people, once impulsive, wouldn't it be to give people a handle and fall into the hands of others? Forgive Liu Zezhi and don't dare to do anything to himself! He sneered, "Okay, I want to see what you dare to do to me!" ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "There is really no need to talk about it anymore, please ask Tanaka-kun to go to the confinement room to calm down, and then talk." Tanaka-kun, don't forget the "Whereabouts Briefing" that Director Li asked you to write, and I will look at it tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. Someone, please Tanaka-kun go to the confinement room, and ask Director Ni to come here. ”
