Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 731 Conscience Discovery

Seeing that everything had been explained, Tang Youyou placed a large stack of military notes on the table.

"Old Liu, have you delivered the food to your hometown? Do you want me to help?"

"No need. Although my hometown has sent me a lot of military notes, spending money has become a problem. But I have several connections in the black market. With the rice shop as a cover, there will be no problem! Just focus on dealing with the Japanese devils and evacuate in time if there is any danger!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. If you need any cooperation, send someone to contact me! Take care!"

After Tang Youyou finished speaking, he lifted the door curtain and walked out.

At this time, the two "toilet-picking" spies also entered the rice shop, looking around and touching things.

Tang Youyou ignored the shifty agent and walked out the door directly.

"Take care, Miss Tang. If you need anything in the future, please ask someone to send a message and I will deliver it to your door!"

"Okay!"

Tang Youyou waved her hand, got on the carriage, and returned to Zui Xiang Lou with Caimai.

As night fell, Guan Gu Shenqi finally lay in the gendarmerie cell. Although the conditions here were poor, at least he could get a good night's sleep.

Guan Gu Shenqi turned his back to the cell door, grabbed a handful of straw from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent himself from talking in his sleep and revealing secrets.

After finishing all this, he felt a strong sleepiness and closed his eyes, as if he had fainted.

A quarter of an hour later, Nakajima Naoko and Kameda Masao came outside the cell and looked at Guan Gu Shenqi, who seemed to be dead and motionless, with frowns on their faces.

"Ms. Nakajima, what should we do next? I think that Tang Youyou is very suspicious. He went to a rice shop today. I think there is something wrong with that rice shop too!"

Nakajima Chengzi asked slowly and calmly:

"So? Did you find anything?"

Masao Kameda was now embarrassed. Although his men had followed them secretly all the way, they not only did not find anything suspicious, but instead discovered that the rice shop owner, Liu, was actually a staunch pro-Japanese businessman.

Because in order to pass on intelligence, Lao Liu made friends with many forces from all sides, and recently in order to smooth out relations in the black market, he gave a lot of military notes to the puppet army and the police station.

Therefore, when Kameda Masao's detective team was looking for information about the Guangu Rice Shop, almost everyone gave him a thumbs up:

Friends of the Imperial Army!

"Ms. Nakajima, I haven't found anything yet, but my intuition tells me that there must be something wrong with the rice shop and Zui Xiang Lou!"

"Haha, intuition can't be used as evidence!"

"Why don't I arrest Tang Youyou from Zui Xiang Lou and Manager Liu from the rice shop and torture them to extract a confession? I don't believe they won't confess!"

Naoko Nakajima hated these reckless men the most. They would force confessions under torture without any technical skills.

"Section Chief Kameda, I would like to remind you that whatever personal grudge you have with Section Chief Sekiya is between you two, and I will not get involved.

But if you use me to retaliate, or abuse my power, I will immediately report to Commander Okamura Yasuji and ask you to recuse yourself!"

Kameda Masao was speechless. The woman in front of him was indeed someone who could do such a thing. If he stayed with Nakajima Naoko, he could at least give her some misleading information. Once he left, he would be a complete outsider.

"I am sorry for being so presumptuous. I will follow Miss Nakajima's instructions!"

Naoko Naoko breathed a sigh of relief. If she didn't show her power, would he really treat her as a vase?

"Just keep an eye on Zui Xiang Lou and the rice shop for the next two days. I'll let you know in advance if I need your cooperation!"

"I……".

Without waiting for Kameda Masao to finish his words, Nakajima Naoko left the cell with her two female agents.

Early the next morning, Naoko Naoko came to Zui Xiang Lou again and called up the old manager, Chef Fan, and all the waiters, and interrogated them one by one.

"Old shopkeeper, you come first!"

The old shopkeeper was taken to the private room on the second floor trembling, his legs shaking and shivering.

"Madam Lady, I didn't do anything wrong. Did you arrest the wrong person?"

Nakajima Chengzi looked at the old shopkeeper with a bitter face and said slowly:

"Old man, relax. This is none of your business. I just came to ask you about something. But you have to answer honestly, otherwise you might end up in a bad way, okay?"

The old shopkeeper fell to his knees with a thud, his head pounding like crazy.

"Don't worry, Madam, feel free to ask me any questions. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

"Haha, tell us about the process of Chief of Staff Koizumi coming to order food that day. The more detailed the better! I have to remind you beforehand to think it over before you speak, because we will ask everyone this question. If there are any mistakes or omissions, we will punish them one by one. Isn't that fair?"

After Nakajima Naoko finished speaking, she pulled out the dagger from her waist, played with it slowly in her hand, and finally stuck it into the table with a "clang" sound, which was very shocking.

"It was already late that day. Koizumi-san came with two other aunts to order food. He seemed to be very rich that day. He ordered all the dishes on the wall and then asked for pigeon soup. He said that Section Chief Guan Gu ordered it personally. Because of this, all the carrier pigeons in our restaurant were killed."

She knew very well that Guan Gu Shenqi specifically ordered pigeon soup, because that was why He Ying Zhier suspected Guan Gu Shenqi.

However, Tomoji Taka and Masao Kameda never mentioned the fact that Chief of Staff Koizumi was rich, and they even ordered all the dishes.

"Very rich? When the staff officer of Confidential Section 2 came to order food, didn't he order much?"

"Yes, in the past, we always had eight dishes and one soup, and at most two more dishes. But that time, Koizumi-sama ordered more than 20 dishes, which is several times more than usual."

Nakajima Naoko fell into deep thought. He seemed to have entered a fog and could not see the direction ahead clearly:

Did Koizumi say where the money came from? As a staff officer, there was no need for him to treat the entire Confidential Section 2 to a meal, right?

"Old shopkeeper, has Chief of Staff Koizumi ever eaten at Zui Xiang Lou? How was the money spent?"

"Yes, he is also a frequent visitor of our Zui Xiang Lou, but unless someone treats him, he only has two dishes, one cold and one hot."

Naoko Nakajima raised her voice several degrees, trying to scare the old shopkeeper.

"Then why was he so generous that night? Are you sure you remember it correctly?"

Shopkeeper Liu's back, which had been straightened, bent down again with a "snap".

"Yes, yes, we worked hard that night to prepare more than 20 dishes. I heard Koizumi-sama mention it, saying that Section Chief Kameda gave it to us!"

Nakajima Naoko was struck by lightning. He had heard long ago that the Confidential Section 2 and the Confidential Section 1 were not getting along. Both the two section chiefs and the underground staff officers disliked each other.

Why would Masao Kameda suddenly give money to Staff Officer Koizumi of the Second Confidential Section?

strange!

"Old shopkeeper, are you sure that's what Chief of Staff Koizumi said?"

The old shopkeeper was in a trance for a while, but there seemed to be a little person in his heart reminding him that it was indeed the case, so he nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I remember it very clearly!"
