Chapter 383 A Very Reasonable Report
Guan Gu Shenqi was cheering in his heart, but when he heard his name being called, he became worried, wondering if his secret had been exposed.
He quickly calculated his escape route, but no matter how he planned it, he would not be able to escape one fate: death!
"calm down!"
Guan Gu Shenqi forced himself to calm down, took two deep breaths, and then quickly walked into He Ying Zhiji's office.
He saw He Yingzhier standing by the window with a sullen look on his face, as if he was staring at the room where Tang Youyou had sent the signal.
"Guan Gu-kun, the plan to instigate the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army seems to have failed, but it cannot be confirmed at the moment."
Guan Gu Shenqi looked at He Ying Zhier with "surprise", as if telling him with his expression: It has nothing to do with me.
"How is that possible? Section Chief, our plan is flawless, unless there is a problem within the 358th Regiment!"
Kazutaka Chiji also thought so. After all, he was arrogant and extremely confident, and he had very strict control over his subordinates. He didn't believe that there was a problem within the Confidential Section 2.
"Sekiya-kun, ever since Ota-kun served the Emperor, you have been my most capable assistant! The responsibility of investigating the cause of the failure of this plan is now entrusted to you!"
Guan Gu Shenqi sneered in his heart, isn't this "Who in this hall is suing me?"
However, the more this happened, the more he had to find out the truth, otherwise he would be soaked in the dirty water sooner or later.
"Hayi! I'll do my best!"
Because the plan to incite the 358th Regiment to revolt failed, the Japanese plan to counterattack Shanxi lacked the necessary support, and therefore the time for the general offensive was postponed again.
During this period, all the pressure was concentrated on the Second Confidential Section, and even on Guan Gu Shenqi. He had to "find out" the reasons for the failure of the rebellion and find out Yan Laoxi's attitude to avoid being blocked from both ends.
Guan Gu Shenqi now holds the imperial sword in his hand, and goes in and out of the headquarters with a group of younger brothers every day, and no one stops him.
Even the detectives who usually chased after him stayed away.
With the power Guan Gu Shenqi holds now, he can arrest anyone at will. Even if he is cleared of suspicion in the end, he will probably suffer a heavy loss.
Guan Gu Shenqi thought about it and decided to find out the reasons from outside and then find one or two scapegoats from inside. In short, he had to do the whole show.
So he started investigating from within.
The first to suffer were the two low-ranking officers who had previously worked with Chief of Staff Datian.
"You two, I think you already know that the plan to subvert the 358th Regiment has failed. I still don't believe that there is a problem within our organization, but we still have to investigate. Tell me, who is the most suspicious?"
The two staff officers were trembling with fear, as they knew all the methods used by the headquarters, especially the punishment of traitors, which they would use any means possible.
The two men talked for a long time, both saying that they were loyal to the Emperor and would never betray him.
"You guys still haven't hit the point. You used to work with Chief of Staff Datian, right? The main body of the plan was determined by the three of you, right? If not for you, it would be..."
The two staff officers looked at each other, and based on the principle of "a friend's death would rather die than the poor", they directed all their criticisms towards Staff Officer Datian.
"Guangu-kun, I've heard that Ota-kun spends money recklessly. His little money is not enough for his expenses, so he started buying and selling information!"
"Exactly. It seems like he often goes to Zui Xiang Lou! Yes, Zui Xiang Lou!"
Guan Gu Shenqi smiled inwardly, this was the result he wanted.
Because before this interrogation of the two of them, Guan Gu Shenqi had already met with Tang Youyou and obtained important information.
Zui Xiang Lou was the largest entertainment venue in the capital, and it was a hodgepodge of all kinds of people. Various forces had their bases planted here, including the Eighth Route Army, the Independent Column, Chongqing, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Originally, these intelligence personnel were serving the War of Resistance, but a few agents from Chongqing and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army often harmed progressive people under the guise of collecting intelligence and even became intelligence dealers, truly black sheep!
Therefore, Guan Gu Shenqi and Tang Youyou decided to cooperate once and for all to eliminate those extremely evil people.
Tang Youyou had naturally already delivered the prepared letters, clothing and even weapons and equipment to the target's room, waiting for Guan Gu Shenqi to "receive" them.
Guan Gu Shenqi immediately reported the information to He Ying Zhier, and also frankly admitted that he had been to Zui Xiang Lou several times.
However, for He Ying Zhi Er, if he had to find someone to take the blame, then this dead person would be the most suitable one.
"Baga! Guan Gu-kun, you are in charge of this operation! You must remember that the commander-in-chief has made it clear that there is a problem within our organization, so we must have a spy no matter what, even if it is a spy who lets the cat out of the bag! Please!"
"Hayi!"
Guan Gu Shenqi received the order and immediately led the plainclothes team of the Detective Department to rush to Zui Xiang Lou.
As expected, three agents from Chongqing and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were captured in Zui Xiang Lou. The letters and radio stations all showed that they had accidentally obtained the information from Staff Officer Datian, passed it to the rear, and then planned to kill Staff Officer Datian.
According to Wang Meng's instructions, Tang Youyou also told Guan Gu Shenqi the details of how the independent column discovered the Japanese's poison gas bomb and Chu Yunfei's unwillingness to surrender to the enemy.
Just like that, a well-reasoned analysis report that included both internal and external factors was placed on He Ying Zhiji's desk.
"Yoshi, Guan Gu-kun did a great job! I'm very satisfied with this report!"
The reason why this report made Tomoji Watari so satisfied was not only because it explained the reasons, but also because it explained the reasons very "reasonably".
First, Staff Officer Datian was not the enemy's spy, but happened to let the cat out of the bag, allowing the Chongqing and Shanxi-Suiyuan Army agents who deliberately approached him to obtain key intelligence, and then sold it to the Independent Column.
Of course, Staff Officer Daejeon also paid the price with his life.
No matter what, this was his personal reason and had nothing to do with the Second Confidential Section. At most, it was just a minor problem of not being able to properly control his subordinates.
Second, the most important reason for the failure of this operation was that Chu Yunfei did not agree to "change the flag" and resisted stubbornly.
If Chu Yunfei was successfully deceived, even if the independent column knew the news, they would not be able to attack the 358th Regiment and destroy the poison gas bombs based on their own words.
As long as the 358th Regiment and the poison gas bombs are there, there is still a chance to harm the people of Pingshun and the Independent Column.
Third, whether Yan Laoxi of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army embezzled this batch of supplies is still debatable. After all, he has not made any statement yet.
After He Ying Zhiji submitted the report, Okamura Neiji was furious. Of course, all his anger was now directed at Yan Laoxi, the leader of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army.
