Chapter 438: Shunsuke Aburatsu is unwilling to use the medicine
The middle-aged man put his briefcase on the table, took out a stack of bills from it, and then took out a small bag.
"Stationmaster, I finally got hold of that guy's account. He used the Citibank route, so there's nothing left behind. Also, here's the yellow croaker you need, and a few promissory notes."
Mao Wanli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that things were going well.
Ever since receiving the order from headquarters, his nerves have been on edge.
Although he also understood that the current situation was rather delicate, Boss Dai urgently needed to make some achievements to prove that the Military Control Commission was not a bunch of good-for-nothings.
However, Mao Wanli felt that the conditions for implementing the Yuanshangcao plan were not yet mature and the probability of success was very slim. If the plan failed, it would only be a loss of some funds. What Mao Wanli was really worried about was that he would be implicated as well.
Putting away the gold bars and promissory notes in the bag, Mao Wanli warned: "Don't come to this place recently, and don't have any contact with the outside world. Go to that safe house and hide for a while."
The middle-aged man nodded, turned and left.
In the evening, Mao Wanli changed his clothes, carried a small bag, and walked into a house.
Hold the lamp in your hand and wait quietly.
An hour later, there was a knock on the door. Mao Wanli took out his pistol, left the house, and came to the gate. "Is it the coal delivery or the water delivery?"
The man outside said stiffly, "The coal delivery guy is coming from Xishan."
Mao Wanli opened the door.
There was a short man standing outside. He had an ordinary appearance, was slightly overweight, and looked unhappy. When he saw Mao Wanli open the door, he glared at him fiercely and then came in.
Mao Wanli sneered, locked the door, turned around and went into the house.
As soon as the man entered the room, he said fiercely in stiff Chinese: "I need an explanation! The headquarters is conducting an internal investigation. Your hasty request for a meeting will kill me!"
Mao Wanli snorted, "Mr. Shan Gao, this is an order from Boss Dai. You'd better pray that our cooperation can go smoothly, otherwise not only will you die, but many others will die as well."
I don't know how scared this Japanese is of Boss Dai. After Mao Wanli said this, he restrained his emotions and whispered, "I will try my best to cooperate, but I can only try my best. You also know that no matter my qualifications or background, I am nothing in the General Staff."
"Mr. Shangao, there is no need to belittle yourself. Besides, Boss Dai values you very much. We will not let you take any risks. What you need to do next is to cooperate with the internal review of the Front Command, and then inform me of the changes within your organization when it is safe."
"That's all?" The Japanese was a little surprised. He thought that these spies went to such great lengths and even took the risk to contact him because they wanted some important information.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. When he was serving in the Kwantung Army, he should not have been blinded by money and made a deal with that hateful guy. Now, he has the handle in his hand, and he has to cooperate even if he doesn't want to!
Mao Wanli nodded. "That's all, Mr. Shangao. Here are some gold and promissory notes as a reward for your cooperation with us. However, I suggest that you handle these properties properly. Otherwise, if they are discovered during the investigation, it will take a lot of effort to explain."
All of a sudden, the regret in the little devil's heart was overshadowed by greed. He grabbed the bag and muttered, "Of course I know this. I don't need you to remind me of this."
Seeing this scene, Mao Wanli sighed in his heart.
Can a creature like this that is hard to feed really undertake such a plan?

"Damn it, this woman's mouth is impossible to pry open!"
At the Military Police Headquarters, Kitahara Ransuke was taking a breath outside the interrogation room, looking somewhat exasperated.
For a whole day, Kitahara Ransuke tried almost all the methods that could cause pain to people but would not threaten their lives for the time being.
The woman was gradually approaching collapse. She begged for mercy at the beginning and then cursed, but no matter what, she just refused to speak.
Lin Ze smoked a cigarette, "Kitahara-kun, do you want to use something more powerful?"
Kitahara Ransuke shook his head. "The information she can provide is the most valuable. If we kill her, we will face great difficulties."
As they were talking, the door of another interrogation room opened and Shunsuke Aburatsu walked out with a tired look on his face.
Kitahara Ransuke quickly asked, "Captain Aburatsu, how is it?"
This guy Shunsuke Aburatsu always has that deadpan face wherever he goes, and it's no exception when facing Kitahara Ransuke. Kitahara Ransuke is used to it now. This grandson is not targeting him. This grandson is like that to everyone he meets.
"Lieutenant Colonel Kitahara, there is no breakthrough for now. The rickshaw driver did provide some locations, but according to my analysis, they are of no value. These places are nothing more than places for eating, drinking and having fun. In addition, the officer pushed all the responsibility onto Shimoe Tomoko, claiming that he was bewitched by Shimoe Tomoko and only helped her organize the dinner and asked him to provide the participants. He said a lot of things, covering too much information, and it is impossible to tell whether it is true or not."
Kitahara Ransuke was a little anxious.
This kind of case is different from catching a spy because it involves the internal affairs of the front headquarters, so it is necessary to be accurate and swift, and the scope of the investigation cannot be expanded, otherwise the forces behind those officers will be dissatisfied. Now it seems that Shimoeko used her social talents to turn her home into an officers' club for eating and drinking. There are probably quite a few officers who have been to that place. Some of these people must have had ulterior motives with Shimoeko, but most of them probably went there just for food, drink and fun. If they really have to investigate one by one, they will stand on the opposite side of the middle-level officers of the front, and Kitahara Ransuke will definitely be in trouble.
This is why the old devil Matsuzaki was unwilling to investigate it himself, and instead handed it over to Kitahara Ransuke.
Aburatsu Shunsuke added: "I feel that this officer must know something, but he is worried that even if he confesses the truth, he will not end up well, so it is better not to say anything, so I plan to use some technical means, such as giving him an injection."
Kitahara Ransuke's eyes lit up, he had seen the power of the medicine invented by Aburatsu Shunsuke.
"Captain Aburatsu, can you give Shimoko Uchiko a shot as well?"
Aburatsu Shunsuke shook his head slightly. "The effect of the drug is uncontrollable. Women have weaker constitutions. If Shimochi Tomoko can't stand the violent reaction, she might die directly."
Kitahara Ransuke could only give up this idea temporarily.
Lin Ze looked at Shunsuke Aburatsu with an expressionless face, and always felt that he should have played some role in this matter.
