Chapter 281: Kitahara is really lucky
Although it was expected that Youteng Shinichi's contact would show up soon, the smoothness of the matter still exceeded Lin Ze's imagination.
The next night, the military police on wait caught the contact person who came to obtain intelligence.
Lin Ze stayed there all day, and when the man was caught at night, he was not at the scene.
The person leading the team at the scene was the second lieutenant who was transferred to the special operations team. He was only 27 years old and his name was Xiao Jiang Dagui. He had a baby face and looked quite young. He knew that Lin Ze was a popular figure in the headquarters, so he did not disrespect him just because he was Chinese. Instead, he was very attentive to him.
After catching the person, Xiao Jiang Dagui took him directly to the gendarmerie headquarters.
Seeing Lin Ze who had just finished his meal in the cafeteria, Xiao Jiang Dagui quickly reported: "Team Leader, there is something wrong with this person!"
Lin Ze smoked his after-dinner cigarette and said, "Of course there is something wrong with him. If there is nothing wrong with him, why would I arrest him?"
Xiao Jiang Dagui was anxious, "Team Leader, it's not this that's the problem. This guy has ID on him! Moreover, he kept shouting that he wanted to see Colonel Matsuzaki!"
Lin Ze threw away his cigarette butt and asked in confusion: "You have an ID? What ID?"
Xiao Jiang Dagui looked around and said, "Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Intelligence Headquarters credentials."
The Japanese's intelligence system is quite complicated. The mainstream ones are the Military Police Headquarters and the Special High Section, which have been introduced before. But in addition to this, the civil service system also has its own intelligence network. For example, the Intelligence Headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just mentioned by Xiao Jiang Dagui is an intelligence network that relies on the diplomatic group to develop intelligence personnel. In name, it provides intelligence information support for diplomatic decision-making, but in fact, it has long become a tool for the cabinet to monitor the outside world.
Now things get complicated.
Lin Ze asked, "Did you bring back the things in the dead mailbox?"
Xiao Jiang Dagui nodded, "Don't worry, team leader. After I caught the man, I took out the note from the brick and sealed it. No one has read it."
"Okay, take you to the interrogation room and wait for me there."
Seiichi Kita had already arrived at the military police headquarters and was in Kitahara Ransuke's office. Lin Ze simply did not go to the interrogation room first, but directly told Seiichi Kita and the others about the situation.
Sure enough, Kita Makoto also widened his eyes when he heard this.
"Someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Could they have made a mistake?"
According to Kita Seiichi's idea, this sneaky guy Shinichi Tomoto should be a member of the secret spy network mentioned in the secret message from the headquarters. How could he be a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Then he didn't know what he thought of, and his face darkened.
"Mr. Lin, did you bring back the things in the dead mailbox?"
Lin Ze knew that he would be concerned about this. "It has been sealed. In the interrogation room, Lieutenant Xiao Jiang said that no one has seen it."
Kita Makoto said solemnly: "Go to the interrogation room!"
Just as they were about to leave, Kita Seiichi suddenly stopped and said to Kitahara Ransuke, "Kitahara-kun, I want to borrow your office phone."
Kitahara Ransuke nodded, "Please do as you please."
Seeing that Kita Seiichi still didn't move, Kitahara Ransuke reacted, "We're waiting for you downstairs. Just come down after you finish your call."
Only then did Kita Seiichi go in and make a phone call.
Kitahara Ransuke muttered as he walked downstairs, "Look at him, who wants to listen to him talking on the phone?"
Lin Ze smiled and said nothing.
The two waited downstairs for a while, and Kita Seichi came down with a frown on his face. The three of them went to the interrogation room together.
When they arrived at the place, Kita Seiichi asked all the military police to go out, leaving only the three of them in the house.
Kita Seiichi slowly walked over to the man who was tied up.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Kita Seiichi, and I'm the head of the Special Service Department of the North China Front Command. Are you going to tell me now, or wait until I finish torturing you?"
The man had a sad face, "Minister Kita, I have heard of your great name for a long time, it's all a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I am Masato Amemori, a special investigator for North China at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Intelligence Headquarters! We are really one of us, Minister Kita!"
Kita Makoto shouted angrily: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Intelligence Headquarters deals with diplomatic intelligence! When have they ever been active in North China?"
Yato Yusen opened his mouth, but was suddenly speechless.
You can't say that he's here just to get intelligence on the North China Front Army, right?
Swallowing his saliva, Yusen Masato said with difficulty: "Minister Kita..."
Kita Seiichi didn't say anything else. He turned and walked to the table beside him, picked up the sealed file bag, took out the note, looked at it twice, and without changing his expression, he threw the note into the small stove next to him and burned it.
When Yusen Masato saw this, his face changed drastically and he shouted, "Minister Kita! I am indeed from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! I have my credentials! This is just routine intelligence gathering, really routine intelligence gathering!"
Kita Makoto shook his head, took out a red-hot iron from the stove, and muttered, "Kitahara-kun, why are you still using this thing? I haven't used it for many years."
As he said that, he walked up to Yusen Masato with the branding iron and pressed it against his chest with an expressionless face.
There was a crackling sound, accompanied by the wailing of Yumori Masato. Kita Seiichi grinned and said, "How dare you lie? Tell me, what organization are you from? Why are you trying to gather information about General Terauchi Hisaichi's movements? Are you trying to assassinate the general?"
Masato Yumori was stunned!
The severe pain made it difficult for him to think. Although he was caught before he had the chance to read the note, how could that guy Tomoto Shinichi get the information about Admiral Terauchi Juichi's action patterns?
This is not common sense!
Kita Seiichi burned him a few more times, then lost interest, threw the iron aside casually, turned to Kitahara Ransuke and said, "Kitahara-kun, how could this spy be so fragile? I just tortured him, how come he died?"
Yusen Masato's eyes widened.
Wait, I'm not dead yet?
Then, fear appeared on his face.
When Lin Ze heard this, he said directly: "I'm a little urgent. Sorry, I'll go out for a while."
Kitahara Ransuke looked at Kita Seiichi with a smile on his face.
Lin Ze outside the door squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette. This grandson of Kita Seiichi is too sinister. He wants to use this Amemori Masato to cause trouble.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent people to North China to obtain intelligence, and to obtain intelligence on the front army. Once this matter was brought to the surface, it would cause an uproar.
So Kita Seiichi must have had a phone call with Terauchi Hisaichi just now, and they wanted to use this incident to negotiate with Konoe Fumimaro.
However, at the beginning, Seiichi Kita never thought that Shinichi Tomoto was actually a spy arranged by Prime Minister Konoe, so he accidentally got the Military Police Headquarters involved in this matter. Now that things have come to this, it is impossible for him not to give Kitahara Ransuke some benefits.
Kitahara is such a lucky guy!
