Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1129 This Commander Lin has such a strong presence.

"Damn, bro!"

At the Tianjin Military Police Headquarters, Okamura Tadamasa registered according to procedure, and then Niu San'er led him to see Lin Ze.

The military police at the door glanced at the names on the register and faintly heard the wails of the Japanese residents in the temporary prison cells. They couldn't help but curl their lip.

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Even General Okamura's son had to register when he came to see Commander Lin. Why are you people making trouble for Commander Lin?

In the office, Lin Ze was reading when he saw Okamura Tadamasa arrive. Lin Ze put down his book, waved, and said, "Damn, you're just getting here! Get on the kang!"

Okamura Tadamasa was taken aback, and looked around. "Get on the kang (heated brick bed)?"

Lin Ze coughed. "Zhongzheng, what brings you here?"

Okamura Tadashi sat down on the sofa. He was still very proper in front of Lin Ze, sitting upright. "Don't even mention it. The old man sent me to keep an eye on you!"

Filial piety!

"Zhongzheng, don't say that..."

“How could I possibly have a good family background? Brother, if it weren’t for you, I might have died of depression one day. I’ve finally found some meaning in life, all because of you. And now that old man has made me monitor you! You’ve done so much for him, and instead of being grateful, he’s suspicious of me. I feel so sorry for you!”

Lin Ze sat down on the sofa and handed Okamura Tadamasa a cigarette. "Here, have a taste. It's a special edition of Thousand Needles. Tadamasa, I'm about to investigate Uchida Eisuke's case. Does His Excellency mean you should come with me?"

“That’s right. The old man is still worried that there’s something wrong with Uchida Eisuke’s death. He said he wants me to follow you, see what you say and what you do, and then go back and report to him in detail.”

Lin Ze smiled.

Great! It's good that the general's son is with me!

"Brother, when are we leaving for Xuanhua?"

"Go to Xuanhua? What for?"

"Didn't Eisuke Uchida die in Xuanhua?"

“Brother Zhongzheng, you are mistaken. Although he died there, we don’t necessarily have to go there first to investigate his case. Let’s go to Shimen!”

"Stone Gate?"

"Yes, think about it. The people that Uchida Eisuke brought to handle the case were all from the Shimen Military Police Command. His whereabouts were leaked, and the Shimen Military Police Command can't escape responsibility. I have a feeling that the Shimen Military Police Command has probably been infiltrated by the enemy!"

Tadamasa Okamura, puffing on his cigarette, seemed to realize what was going on. His eyes lit up as he said, "Brother, Eisuke Uchida has been operating in Shimen for several years..."

"Brother, I just read in a book that a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. What does that mean?"

Okamura Tadamasa was somewhat learned, but that was about it. He was bewildered and asked, "This is ancient Chinese text, right? Is it from the Analects? Brother, please teach me, what does this sentence mean?"

"This isn't from the Analects, it's from the Zeng Guang Xian Wen. The meaning of this sentence is: If a gentleman likes money, then it's reasonable for him to take the money."

"Yo-ho! Brother, let's hurry to Shimen!"

..............................

"Kuchukuchukuchuk!"

The train traveled on the Pinghan Railway and arrived at Shimen in just one day.

This is a brand new city. If you only look at the urban area, its prosperity is no less than that of Beijing, though it's still a bit less developed than Tianjin.

Shimen is divided in two by the Pinghan Railway. To the west is the main urban area, centered around the railway station, post office and Jingxing Mining Bureau, surrounded by various government offices and institutions. To the northwest is a large residential area.

The eastern section of the Pinghan Railway is similar to a new district, which was built in recent years. It mainly houses yarn mills, cotton gins, cotton companies, flour mills, soap companies, tobacco companies, and even an egg factory. Yes, it uses relatively modern methods to raise chickens and produce eggs in large quantities.

Overall, Shimen's industrial level ranks among the top five in North China.

Lin Ze was traveling on a special train provided by the Pinghan Railway Bureau. This train was different from ordinary special trains. It was specially modified for Lin Ze by the North China Transportation Corporation after it took control of the Pinghan Railway Bureau, based on its previous experience in modifying special trains.

The three VIP carriages have been transformed into luxurious and comfortable spaces: an office carriage, a meeting carriage, and a rest carriage. The office carriage is also equipped with a mobile radio and other equipment, and there is also a generator on board to ensure a reliable power supply.

The passenger compartment is covered with thick carpets and has several large, soft sofas. Next to it is a wine cabinet with a bar. The sofas have armrests and can be pulled out from the side to reveal a cigarette tray.

Needless to say, the rest carriages were designed to maximize space. The designers racked their brains and, with a reasonable layout, managed to squeeze in a large bed that was more than two meters wide.

When the special train arrived in Shimen, the site had already been prepared.

During Lin Ze's investigation into the death of Uchida Eisuke, the Army Headquarters, the Special Service Department, and the North China Governing Committee all issued official documents, putting Shihmen on high alert. The Shihmen Governing Committee, the Maintenance Committee, the Shihmen Military Police Headquarters, the Shihmen Police Station, the Shihmen Chamber of Commerce, and major companies all came to greet him.

The train slowly pulled up to the platform. The three VIP carriages remained still, but the doors of the front and rear carriages opened quickly, and squads of military police and assistants disembarked.

These military police and auxiliary officers were all handpicked to accompany Lin Ze on missions to other places. They were all strong, capable, and sharp-eyed. As soon as they got off the vehicle, they quickly took over the security at the scene.

The traitors and officials in Shimen looked at each other, and a few couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Didn't they say Commander Lin was here to handle a case? Why is he bringing so many soldiers with him...?"

"Perhaps it's for security reasons. Think about it, Colonel Uchida was killed, so Colonel Hayashi must have some doubts, right?"

"But the security on site was handled by the Shimen Military Police Command, and Commander Lin took over as soon as he arrived..."

The Shimen Military Police Command is now leaderless, with only the counter-espionage chief, Kobayashi Yuji, temporarily in charge of daily operations. When he saw that the people brought by Lin Ze had quickly taken over key positions, he did not feel dissatisfied at first, but rather felt fear.

Eisuke Uchida was a very assertive man, the absolute authority at the Shimen Military Police Headquarters. Now that Uchida is dead, the Shimen Military Police Headquarters is without a leader, and Commander Lin has brought so many men. So, what about his role as the head of the counter-espionage department...?

After a while, an assistant officer knocked on the door of the VIP carriage.

The VIP carriage doors opened immediately, and staff got off to conduct an inspection. Niu San'er then got off, and everyone knew the main character was about to arrive, so they all stood up straight.

Lin Ze was wearing a black cloak over a collared auxiliary police uniform. His belt was pulled tight, which made his broad shoulders, narrow back, and slender waist stand out even more. His military boots clattered loudly on the metal steps of the carriage.

Everyone present from the Shimen side felt a chill run down their spines.

Commander Lin has such a strong presence!
