Chapter 692 Pei Min Reappears
It was none other than the eight guards in the courtyard who found Minami Yoko dead.
On weekdays, Minami Yoko, who was devoted to her work, always got up early, packed up, and went out to the Special High Section office in high spirits. In addition, the three female agents who were responsible for protecting and taking care of Minami Yoko in the house would also get up half an hour earlier than Minami Yoko.
But this morning, it was already past seven o'clock, and there was still no movement in the house. The guards outside had a bad premonition, but they didn't dare to enter the house rashly. They used the phone in the gatehouse to contact outside, but naturally they didn't get through. They didn't even hear the phone ringing in the house.
At this moment, they really confirmed that something was wrong. They didn't care about that much, and quickly opened the door and rushed in...
Minglou and Mingcheng followed Zhou Fuhai and Li Shiqun. Behind them were Wang Manchun and Liang Zhongchun, and in front of them was Fujita Yoshimasa leading a group of senior officials from the Special High Section.
Fujita Yoshimasa is a major general in the army, and is Minami Yoko's boss. He works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. Minami Yoko was assassinated in her residence, and he, as the superior, brought people to deal with the aftermath. And in the next period of time, he will temporarily lead the Shanghai Special High Section until new personnel are transferred. After all, he is a major general, and asking him to be the head of the Shanghai Special High Section is a demotion, and it is also a humiliation for him, a major general in the army. Although Shanghai has a special status, the highest-ranking superior is only a colonel, and it is not necessary for a major general in the army to take the position personally.
They walked around in Minami Yoko's residence and checked the crime scene. Although the technology was not so advanced at this time, there were also means of criminal investigation and forensics. After all, this is a profession that has existed for thousands of years. Before them, someone had come to the scene to check, so there was no need to destroy the scene.
Minglou and Mingcheng were extremely complicated, and there was no other reason, it was just too fast. So when they received the call, it didn't feel so real. It was not until they entered Minami Yoko's residence and saw a bunch of people busying around and the body surrounded by dark red blood in the room on the first floor that they felt it was real and believed Minami Yoko's death.
The night before yesterday, they urgently contacted the organization to explain the cause and request to dispatch Pei Min to cooperate with the action. That night, the organization held an emergency meeting to determine its necessity and decided to agree to dispatch Pei Min to take action. In the second half of the night, the Shanghai underground party organization called Chongqing to report to the secretary of the Red Party's Southern Bureau, the direct leader of Pei Min's single-line contact, and requested approval.
The next day, after receiving a call back, the Shanghai party organization sent someone to the radio company to issue a missing person broadcast, activated the emergency contact code, and contacted Pei Min who was lurking in Shanghai. That night, without alerting the eight Japanese guards in front and behind, Pei Min quietly sneaked into Minami Yoko's residence, killed three Japanese female spies, and killed Minami Yoko.
What a powerful ability to move, is this Pei Min...
Minglou was thinking in a mess, following the crowd, stepping on the solid wood stairs that creaked under the weight, and came to the second floor.
The layout here is very simple. Turning around, there is a spacious study room facing south with the door open. A few steps inside the study door, it is the center of the study room, above is a luxurious European-style chandelier, lighting the study room.
Where is there no shadow, or the smallest shadow? There is no doubt that there is no shadow where there is no light. The position under the light has the smallest shadow, which is what people often say is dark under the light.
Yoko Minami collapsed under the chandelier, lying in a pool of solidified blood. Her eyes were wide open, and from her eyes, and the expression on her face, one could see unexpected horror and unwillingness...
"General, we carefully checked the bodies of Section Chief Nan Tian and the three people downstairs, and searched all corners of the room. According to comprehensive judgment, the murderer took advantage of the patrol gap to jump in from the side wall and entered the room through the window on the first floor. His movements were very light. Among the three people sleeping downstairs, two were killed in their sleep. Although the remaining person had signs of struggle, he did not leave any other clues and was killed by the murderer at the first time.
According to the daily living habits of Section Chief Nan Tian provided by the guards outside, when the murderer came in, Section Chief Nan Tian was sitting at his desk working. The murderer grabbed Section Chief Nan Tian's neck, which can be proved by the bruises on Section Chief Nan Tian's neck. The murderer killed him. He brought her here from the window, then grabbed Section Chief Nan Tian's neck, cut her throat with a sharp blade, and cut her artery. Like the three people downstairs, the blade was pulled out by the cervical vertebrae. This can drain the blood from the human body as quickly as possible, resulting in such a horrible scene.
Then, the murderer turned off the light in the study, turned on the light in the bedroom to confuse the guards outside, and returned to the study, slowly and carefully searching, and took away all the documents and materials that Section Chief Nan Tian brought home. After more than ten minutes, the murderer turned off the light in the bedroom again, making the guards outside think that Section Chief Nan Tian had rested. Finally, the murderer sneaked out of here the same way. In addition, we found footprints and traces of people lying prone on the roof of the adjacent house, which shows that the murderer is not familiar with this place and started to act after observing for a while.
Combining past cases and the assassination style this time, we determined that the murderer was Pei Min, who is known as the Red Party's top ace killer. However... Section Chief Minami's expression is very strange. It seems that she knows something..."
Fujita Yoshimasa is a senior official after all, and he is well-mannered. He just waved his hand and asked the man to step aside. He is not blind, let alone stupid. How could he not know that Minami Yoko must know something. Otherwise, how could the Red Party force Pei Min to take the risk to assassinate the head of the Special High Section.
He glanced at Minami Yoko's body on the ground, swept his eyes across the audience, and asked: "What do you think of this matter? "
Everyone present knew that Fujita Yoshimasa was not asking about the Japanese, but the Chinese. Otherwise, why would these Chinese people gather here and not collect the bodies after discovering that Minami Yoko was assassinated? The Japanese have already expressed their views and opinions. Including the Japanese who just explained the situation, he probably said it specifically for the Chinese present.
Zhou Fuhai was the most senior person here, and he spoke first: "General Fujita, I think the person who assassinated Section Chief Minami was Pei Min of the Red Party. The most urgent task is to strengthen the security force and ensure the safety of officials in key positions. Section Chief Minami is the head of the Special High Section and a colonel in the army. People of this level were assassinated silently by Pei Min. If the Red Party gets a taste of the sweetness and sends Pei Min to target other officials, it will be a disaster based on Section Chief Minami's case. ”
What he said was very good, but it was basically equivalent to nonsense. Is there any need for him to say such a thing? Fujita Yoshimasa looked at Li Shiqun.
Li Shiqun knew very well that Fujita Yoshimasa was asking them about their analysis of the cause of the incident, not about learning any lessons. Zhou Fuhai could lie with his eyes open, but he couldn't.
He said: "This time, Section Chief Nan Tian was assassinated. As the gentleman just said, she must have got some information, so the Red Party did not hesitate to send Pei Min, who had been dormant for a long time, to assassinate her personally. In my opinion, there are two possibilities for the expression on Section Chief Nan Tian's face. One is that Section Chief Nan Tian saw Pei Min's face clearly. She had seen Pei Min's disguised identity. Another possibility is that at the last moment of her life, Section Chief Nan Tian figured out some joints and grasped some situation.
In my opinion, the second possibility is more likely. Because according to the situation we have, Pei Min is an expert in disguise. Everyone only knows his code name. No one has seen his face, and even his back has not been remembered. Two years ago, Xia Changguo, a traitor of the Red Party, was punished by Pei Min for his betrayal. According to the investigation, people only saw a lame man in a raincoat at that time. The left shoulder was high, the right shoulder was low, and the left leg was lame. But in the subsequent prison break incident and the rescue incident in the Army Sanatorium, the surviving Japanese soldiers said that Pei Min was flexible and he could not be a lame man.
I have read the files and later conducted special investigations around these incidents. But many people said different things, and there was no highly consistent answer. Through this point, it is enough to show that with Pei Min's rigor, such omissions would never occur.
The reason why I said the second possibility is more likely is that Section Chief Nan Tian has said more than once that there are moles hiding among us, stealing important intelligence many times and sabotaging many major operations. So I think that Section Chief Nan Tian must have mastered this mole hidden in our interior. The Red Party is afraid that the identity of this mole will be exposed, and Shanghai is so important, so they have to send Pei Min.
There are only a few major events that have happened recently, and the most recent one is that at the North China War Victory Celebration Conference organized by the consulate, someone sneaked into the venue and took the opportunity to go upstairs to steal the Japanese military deployment plan in the Third War Zone. I wonder if this incident led to the assassination of Section Chief Nantian? Director Ming, I heard that Section Chief Nantian sent someone to follow you back to Ming Mansion last night. What is the purpose of Section Chief Nantian's move? Please explain it to us. "
Ming Lou shook his head and sighed: "I can't explain this matter. You all know that Section Chief Nantian has always been suspicious of me. This is normal. After all, I stayed in Nanjing for a period of time and knew many people in the Kuomintang. I didn't pay a surrender letter like Director Li. Being suspicious of everyone is a necessary quality for an excellent agent.
It is precisely because I know this situation that I only do my job and deal with economic issues, and don't interfere in the affairs of No. 76. I am doing economic things. Even if some information is leaked, it is irrelevant to the overall situation, right? After all, everyone knows the economic situation of the new government. What I do is to try to make the economy of the new government stable and positive.
Section Chief Nan Tian sent someone to follow me home. It could be because she felt that agents from both parties had sneaked into the consulate's cocktail party and stole confidential information. She was worried about my safety, so she asked for protection. It could also be because she was worried and wanted to see if I was going to contact the person she imagined. Once she found out, she would immediately arrest me secretly.
I have always believed that whether it is talking or doing things, evidence must be provided. So I can't solve Director Li's confusion. General Fujita, I think the most urgent thing is to ask Section Chief Nan Tian's subordinates and the leader of the action team who led the team to follow me back, about the recent situation of Section Chief Nan Tian. In addition, we must also determine as soon as possible what information Section Chief Nan Tian brought back home. After all, Pei Min has turned this place over. Now the Red Party should have grasped some of the situation, and we must respond early. "
He did not defend himself, but put himself in the position of an innocent, suspected, and distrusted victim. At this time, he showed his concern for the Empire of Japan.
Compared with Zhou Fuhai's concern for his own safety, Li Shiqun's suspicion of his own people was undoubtedly impeccable.
Of course, Zhou Fuhai could not be blamed for his concern for safety. After all, he was the third person in the Wang Puppet Government and the third-ranked traitor. This time Pei Min killed Nan Tian Yangzi. If the target was changed to Zhou Fuhai, Zhou Fuhai would feel a chill down his spine when he thought about it now. It was too terrible...
Fujita Yoshimasa looked at Minglou deeply, then turned to look at Li Shiqun with a gloomy look, and finally Zhou Fuhai who didn't pay any attention to this place. He waved his hand: "Okay, we have seen the situation at the scene, so let's stop here. You all have your own things to do, especially you, Li Sang, you have to stabilize the hearts of No. 76 and don't let them talk nonsense. In addition, you have to confirm the information leak. Hurry up.
Li Sang, Ming Sang, and you two, I hope you go back today to prepare for the recent situation. Tomorrow morning, go to the office of the Special High Section for a meeting. I want to understand the specific situation."
The 'you two' he said were Wang Manchun and Liang Zhongchun who were further back and kept silent.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and then turned around and left.
As the highest commander, Zhou Fuhai gave a few words to a few people, which was not important. The general idea was to let them cooperate with the Special High Section, not to make decisions on their own, and not to stop the crackdown on the two parties. After that, he got into the car and left quickly.
The last thing he said to Minglou and others was that there were some things to do back in Nanjing...
Minglou and others did not communicate too much, but simply exaggeratedly sighed at Pei Min's ability to act, roughly exchanged the information they had mastered, and then got into the car, passed through the crowded group of reporters, and went to do their own things.
It's not that they don't want to exchange opinions, but this is not a good time. When they were in the house before, Li Shiqun was obviously burning the fire on Minglou. Wang Manchun and Liang Zhongchun, the two subordinates, are not suitable for talking too much.
In the car, Mingcheng said, "Brother, why don't we just get rid of Li Shiqun as well."
"Is it Pei Min's strong ability to act that gives you confidence?" Minglou shook his head and said, "The struggle on our secret front is not about killing people, but about gathering intelligence and being aware of and responding first. If Mingtai hadn't been careless and left his watch at the scene, I would never have wanted to get rid of Minami Yoko. Familiar opponents are more advantageous to us than unfamiliar opponents. You must remember this. Don't kill a difficult opponent the first thing you think of. If things go on like this, we will become fools without brains who can only fight and kill, and we will die faster."
"Yes, brother, I reflect on myself. But Pei Min's ability to act is so strong that I can't help laughing when I think of Zhou Fuhai just now." After solving the biggest trouble, Mingcheng's tense heart was also relieved, and he had the mind to laugh at others.
Ming Lou also smiled: "It's because Pei Min's deterrence is too strong. Zhou Fuhai is a villain without a position. He cherishes his life more than anyone else. It's normal for him to be afraid of Pei Min. Even if you and I are on the opposite side, it's hard to sleep knowing that there is someone like Pei Min thinking about us...Okay, let's talk about serious things. Although Li Shiqun led Fujita Yoshimasa to suspect me, there is no need to worry, after all, we still have Iwai Eiichi behind us. But this is also a problem that needs to be solved. Pei Min's actions were too fast, and our arrangements were not even launched. These few days, you have to hurry up and kill the traitor who is recuperating in the hospital to divert their attention. We return to After returning home, we need to create panic and let the lone wolf go to Fujita Yoshimasa to reestablish contact. She will naturally help us gain Fujita Yoshimasa's trust. "
"Let Fujita Yoshimasa know the existence of the lone wolf, then how should we deal with it in the future?"
"We don't need to do it. I heard from Ah Xiang that she still went to Wang Mansion to talk to Aunt Liang. After a few days, she will disgust Wang Yan and disappear naturally. It's just hard for you..."
"It's not hard or not. No matter what kind of feelings are in front of the national justice and the survival of the nation, it's better to die..."
Mingcheng still remembers the good of taking him out of the orphanage and raising him up. As for other feelings, they were gone when Aunt Gui went crazy and wanted to strangle Mingcheng.
But people, as long as they are not ungrateful, can remember that good thing. Therefore, some people take advantage of this good thing to keep asking for more.
The death of Minami Yoko is of course a big deal. This is also a ruthless person with a bad reputation. He has committed many sins and owed a lot of blood debts. What's more, such a person died in the assassination of Pei Min of the Red Party, which was naturally a big deal.
Pei Min, who had disappeared for more than a year, returned to the arena and created such a shocking event. Especially with multiple guards, how could the silent assassination not be reported?
Reporters, newspapers, and printing houses once again demonstrated their powerful efficiency. The news of Minami Yoko's death came out in the morning. Fresh, even hot newspapers were sold to the people in Shanghai after lunch.
What's more, some newspapers have published special issues, detailing every murder case that has been circulated since Pei Min debuted.
"Breaking news! Breaking news! Pei Min reappears. Shanghai Special High Section Chief Minami Yoko was killed by having her throat cut and bleeding! Breaking news! Breaking news! Pei Min is back..."
