Chapter 168 It’s the “Han Dynasty” Again

"Brother Han, I haven't seen you in twenty years, your chess skills have improved a lot!" Erlang Duomen invited Han Liangze to his home, and the two were playing chess in the living room.

The fire in the fireplace is burning brightly, and you only need to put on a thin coat in the living room to feel the slightest bit of cold, which is very comfortable.

"Mr. Duomen, you deserve the prize. My chess skills can't be compared with yours. Back in school, you were very good at Go. No one in our class could beat you." Han Liangze said with a humble smile.

"Haha, there is a saying in China that a good man, regardless of his former bravery, has been running around all these years. It is difficult for him to calm down and play chess with others." Domon Jiro smiled proudly.

"If Mr. Domen can concentrate on chess, I'm afraid he will achieve great results!"

"It's over-praised, it's over-praised..." Domon Jiro was so proud. His chess skills were not worth mentioning, but it was good to have people flattering him and flattering him.

"Report!" Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the door. It was Adjutant Akagi.

"Come in." Domen Erlang frowned. He was playing chess with Han Liangze and didn't want to be disturbed. This was what he had been told early in the morning.

"Minister..." Akagi, wearing white socks, ran all the way over, came behind Domon Jiro, bent down, and whispered in his ear a report in Japanese.

"Nani?" Domenjiro heard this, his eyes couldn't help but bulge, his hands moved a little bigger, the chessboard shook, and the chess game instantly turned into a mess.

"Brother Han, I'm afraid this game of chess won't work. How about we play it another day?" Duomen's face flashed, and he gradually regained his composure.

"Mr. Duomen has important matters to take care of, so I'll take my leave first." Han Liangze knew something was wrong at the first sight, and it was not a minor matter, but since Duomen Erlang didn't tell him, he couldn't ask more questions.

"Akagi, send Director Han off for me."

"Hai!" Akagi agreed.

…

The Japanese Secret Service in Jiangcheng held an emergency meeting.

All the Japanese soldiers at a checkpoint were poisoned to death in broad daylight and died in full view of the public. It was too intrusive and terrifying.

Jiro Domon, dressed in the uniform of an army sergeant, sat at the top with a gloomy face, and the flesh at the corners of his eyes was a little slumped.

On the left and right sides, there were several Japanese military officers sitting on each side.

Captain Yoshino of the Military Police, Lieutenant Colonel Shigenori Takeshima, Chief of the Special High School Section, Major Kotaro Sugita, Chief of the Special Investigation Section, and an officer wearing a navy uniform...

"Everyone is here?"

"Hai, minister, we're all here."

"Captain Yoshino, could you please explain the situation?" Domon Jiro said.

"Hai!" Gendarmerie Captain Yoshino stood up and bowed slightly, "Dear colleagues, a shocking murder occurred at the No. 1 checkpoint on Hebin Road at noon today. Thirteen of our Japanese officers at the No. 1 checkpoint were All the imperial officers and soldiers were poisoned to death, and after preliminary investigation, it was found that someone deliberately poisoned them!"

As soon as the four words "deliberate poisoning" came out, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"Kono-kun, could you please tell me the results of your poison test?"

"Hai." The Kono military medical officer stood up, opened a test report, and said loudly, "After preliminary testing, it was found that the poison poisoned by the thirteen Imperial Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint at Pier 1 was the same as that in Changleli The detoxification case on No. 17 belongs to the same type of highly toxic poison!"

"What, so these two cases were committed by the same person?"

"We can't say that. Now we can only prove that the two poisons are similar and belong to the same type, but they are not necessarily the same poison." Military Medical Officer Kono explained.

"Is it revenge?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Someone agreed.

"Hasn't Fan Jingyin, the poisoner, been executed?"

"Yes, but it has been found that Fan Jingyin is a member of another special agent organization in Chongqing, the Central Government. This poisoning case is most likely the work of the Central Government's underground organization 'Hanshi' lurking in Jiangcheng!" Takeshima Shigetori analyzed and judged. road.

"Han Dynasty?"

Some people here have heard the name "Han Dynasty" before, but some people have not heard of it, and they all have a look of surprise on their faces.

"Search Takeshima, please explain what this 'Han Dynasty' is all about!" Domon Jiro ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Minister." Takeshima Shigeru is in charge of counter-espionage and intelligence work. He is naturally authoritative in this area and has the most information.

"The so-called 'Hanshi' is a latent organization left in Jiangcheng by Zhongtong, another intelligence agent organization in Chongqing. The number of people is unknown. Fan Jingyin, who was captured before and poisoned Changleli No. 17, is a member of this organization. Unfortunately, he confessed If there weren't many, they would be executed. The member organizations of the Zhongtong are different from those of the military. They are part of the middle-class citizens, such as people with a certain identity and status, and have a higher level of education."

"Then what's the motive behind this poisoning?"

"Revenge," Yoshino said, "This is revenge for the people we executed."

"Captain Yoshino, since it's revenge, why did you choose the checkpoint at Pier 1 on Riverside Road?" Kotaro Sugita asked in return.

"Sugita-kun, do you still remember the news about the eight-year-old Chinese boy that was published in the newspaper two days ago?" Yoshino said, "I think this is the inducement."

"Baga, these Chinese people are so abominable, their consciences are so bad!" The officer in navy uniform stood up and cursed fiercely.

"Maeda-kun, sit down!"

"We have just cracked the Chongqing Front Military Tongjiangcheng District Organization, and another 'Han Dynasty' has arrived. It seems that we cannot relax our work." Domon Jiro said seriously, "Wu Daojun, your special higher education class needs to strengthen its strength in this aspect. , we must severely crack down on these anti-Japanese elements!”

"Hai!" Shigemanori Takeshima said, standing at attention with his legs together, "I will do my best to eradicate all these people."

"Very good. We're paying attention to the poisoning case at Pier 1. We recommend that it be handed over to the Special High School Division and the Gendarmerie for a joint investigation. The Special High School Division will take the lead and the Gendarmerie will assist. The case will be solved within a time limit and the murderer will be captured." Domon Jiro ordered.

"Hai!"

"The meeting is dismissed!" Domenjiro stood up, announced with a wave, and then left the conference room directly.

…

"Minister, Section Chief Sugita would like to see you." As soon as Tamonjiro returned to the office, Akagi came in after him and reported to him.

"Oh?" Domen Erlang was surprised, and then said, "Invite him in."

"Hai."

"Minister." Kotaro Sugita walked in and came to Jiro Domon and bowed respectfully.

"Sugita-kun, is something wrong?"

"Minister Domon, I think the poisoning and murder case at the No. 1 checkpoint on Hebin Road is a bit strange." Kotaro Sugita said, "Our soldiers' lunches are all prepared and specially delivered to the checkpoint. They will not stop on the way. No one can Contact, how did our opponent do it?”

"Do you have any idea?"

"I think there must have been some accident on the delivery road that led to this situation. If we don't pay attention, things like this may happen again in the future."

"Sugita-kun, your suggestion is very good. This is something we need to pay attention to. I will explain it to Yoshino-kun." Domon Jiro nodded.

"Hai!"

…

In the meetings of the Secret Service, only the Japanese could participate, and the Chinese were not allowed to participate. The fear of leaking secrets was on the one hand, but more importantly, they did not trust and did not think that the Chinese were qualified to be on an equal footing with them.

Kotaro Sugita returns to the Special Investigation Division.

"Hirao, go and invite Deputy Section Chief Liu over." Kotaro Sugita ordered his orderly.

Liu Jinbao knew that Kotaro Sugita had been called by the Secret Service to hold an emergency meeting. Something big must have happened. Meetings of the Secret Service were usually notified in advance and would not be announced on the spur of the moment.

The murder that happened at Pier 1 on Hebin Road soon reached his ears. It happened in broad daylight, and there were more than one or two people watching. It was almost impossible to block the news.

Such a big thing.

Liu Jinbao's first reaction was that this was the work of the "River God" group. Only the "River God" group could do this among the anti-Japanese forces currently operating in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng District will be completely withdrawn and rebuilt, and it will take at least a few months to come back. It would be better if the Zhongtong group does not fight among themselves. It is better to expect them to be inferior to those non-governmental organizations that spontaneously organized to resist Japan.

Jiangcheng has been occupied by the Japanese army for more than two months. What contribution have they made?

Not a single thing.

It is estimated that some news that everyone in Jiangcheng knows is sent back through the secret radio every day, so that the latent mission of collecting intelligence is completed.

It's not that Liu Jinbao looks down on those in the "Han Dynasty" of Zhongtong, but that those people are really looked down upon.

"Section Chief Sugita, are you looking for me?" Liu Jinbao received the call, immediately tidied up his clothes, and ran quickly to Kotaro Sugita's office.

"Liu Sang, have you heard about the poisoning case at Pier 1 on Hebin Road?"

"I just received the news. The specific situation is not clear yet." Liu Jinbao nodded. This case involved the Japanese army. There was no order from the Special Investigation Section, so he did not dare to send people to find out without authorization.

"All thirteen Imperial Japanese officers and soldiers at one checkpoint were poisoned to death. How cruel!"

"Ah!" Liu Jinbao exclaimed in surprise, "Who is so bold as to commit such a major crime in broad daylight?"

"Who else could be there besides those Chongqing elements?" Kotaro Sugita was furious. "These people are no match for the empire on the frontal battlefield, so they would resort to such obscene tricks on us. It's so abominable!"

"Yes, these people do everything they can, and I'm afraid similar things will continue to happen in the future." Liu Jinbao followed Sugita Kotaro's words.

"Liu Sang, we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. Although the bombing at the last celebration of the establishment of the Security Council was solved, it was not directly detected by us. Nowadays, Jiangcheng is frequently experiencing poisoning and murder cases against the Imperial Army of Japan. If we can't make results as soon as possible, then what's the point of establishing the Special Investigation Section?" said Kotaro Sugita.

"Chief Sugita, what do you mean, we will take over this case to investigate?" Liu Jinbao knew that Kotaro Sugita was very ambitious and wanted to do something in the position of the Special Investigation Section.

But Liu Jinbao was different. He just wanted to mess around. If he really wanted to do something, he would be in trouble.

"No, this case has been handed over to the Special High School Division and the Military Police by many ministers." Sugita Kotaro said, "However, if we want to solve this case, we have to take action from the Investigation Division."

"Section Chief, do you have any clues?"

"Hehe, of course." Sugita Kotaro smiled mysteriously.
