Lost and Spy

Manila, Wang Bin Street.

This is a street named in 1915 to commemorate Roman Wangbin, a Chinese-Filipino mixed-race philanthropist. In the middle of the street, there is a monument to Roman Wangbin.

This is not only Manila's Chinatown, but also one of Manila's commercial centers.

However, under the bombing of the U.S. Air Force, Wang Bin Street was not spared either.

It was completely bombed and dilapidated.

The prosperous business scene of the past is gone forever.

After the war is over, I don't know how much effort it will take to restore it.

Naoto Matsushiro and Puyang Ishigami got out of the car.

The two looked around nervously.

After confirming their safety, they walked to a house and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened.

Ishigami Puyang recognized at a glance that this person was Taniguchi Shibu's subordinate.

"Where's the stuff?" Li Zhifeng asked coldly.

The two turned around and took out two boxes from the car twice.

It looks very heavy.

Moved indoors, opened it, and the two boxes were filled with golden gold.

Li Zhifeng checked, but didn't say anything, just made a gesture of please.

This is where the guests are chased away.

Naoto Matsushiro and Puyang Ishigami didn't say much, and walked out quickly.

After getting back into the car, Naoto Matsushiro couldn't help asking, "Shibu Taniguchi, will you help us?"

"I don't know." Puyang Shishang said in a daze, "At least he accepted the gold."

……

Standing at the window, watching the car leave, Meng Shaoyuan closed the curtains.

Li Zhifeng transported the gold to the basement, came up, and took a few breaths: "What should I do with the gold?"

"Let's put it here first." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "It will be of great use soon."

……

"Your Excellency, Commander, after several days of investigation, Ishigami Urayang and Matsushiro Naoto are indeed very suspicious."

Philippine Tenth Army Command.

When Shinya Takuma finished his report, Homma Yaharu frowned: "Xinya-san, your worries are not unreasonable, one is the commander of the gendarmerie, and the other is the head of the secret service agency, if they are involved, will It becomes very troublesome, and even, the situation may get out of control."

Takuma Shintani nodded: "It's not that such things have never happened in the empire. People who are desperate can easily become bloodthirsty beasts. Especially those who still have guns in their hands.

I am sure that the soldiers are loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, but they don't know the truth, and they are easily confused by the superior officers, and then they act aggressively. "

In the final analysis, it is two words:
mutiny!

Once this situation arises, this responsibility cannot be borne by one or two people.

"Not only that." Xinya Takuma's voice was also full of worry: "If the final result, the gold theft case, has nothing to do with the two of them, it will also cause great confusion.

Naoto Matsushiro and Urayoshi Ishigami have served the empire for many years, they have done their best and never had any problems before, now?I suggest further investigation, there must be unmistakable evidence. "

"Order, speed up the investigation!" Masahiro Honma thought for a while, "At the same time, strengthen the surveillance of the gendarmerie and the secret service. This matter must be hard on you, Mr. Xingu!"

……

"Report, received intelligence, rioters in Manila will carry out activities at Pier No. [-] tonight."

"Is the information accurate?"

"Yes, the information is accurate. At the same time, they have an internal response at Pier No. [-]. According to preliminary investigations, they will carry out large-scale sabotage activities at Pier No. [-]."

Naoto Matsushiro immediately picked up the phone: "Order the gendarmerie to assemble and deploy defenses at Pier No. [-]."

Put down the phone, picked up the command knife: "Let's go!"

……

Pier Three.

A noisy day has just come to an end.

Tired workers left the dock one after another.

At this time, under the direct command of Matsushiro Naoto, the gendarmes had already begun to deploy defenses at Pier No. [-].

Naoto Matsushiro is still a dedicated person.

Despite his current troubles himself, work will always be work.

Those who stayed on the night shift at the pier have been strictly controlled.

Anyone is suspect until those rioters are caught.

Time passed by minute by minute.

late, nine o'clock.

"boom"!
Suddenly, there was a clear gunshot outside the pier.

Naoto Matsushiro was startled.

what happened?

"Bang bang bang"!
Three more shots were fired.

problem occurs!
Naoto Matsushiro shouted fiercely: "Move out, arrest!"

All the gendarmes in ambush rushed out.

But just after those few gunshots, the night returned to calm.

Immediately, a shrill siren sounded.

……

Manila, which is under curfew, is heavily guarded, and there is no way for the shooter to run away.

Soon, the man was caught.

He was a local, thin and small, trembling under the threat of a gendarmerie bayonet.

"Your Excellency, it was found in him."

A pistol was presented in front of Matsushiro Naoto.

Naoto Matsushiro looked at the person in front of him, and his first feeling was that it was absolutely impossible for this person to have anything to do with the rioters.

"Go ahead."

Naoto Matsushiro said coldly, "Who ordered you to do this?"

"I was hired, and I was hired."

The man's feet were trembling, and he quickly explained the whole story.

His name is Ofutt, a local.

Just the day before, a stranger had approached him and promised him a large sum of money. All he had to do was to shoot a few shots around Pier [-] tonight.

Once the job is over, the stranger will give him another large sum of money.

Although it was very dangerous, under the temptation of money, Ofutt gritted his teeth and agreed.

Relying on the fact that he is a local and familiar with the road, he will run away after shooting, and he will definitely be able to escape.

But who would have thought that he still underestimated the gendarmerie.

He didn't run very far before he was caught.

"Where did that person give you the follow-up money?"

Naoto Matsushiro is very experienced. From the tone of the other party's speech, it should not be fake.

"I know I know."

Ofutt, who only wanted to survive, said quickly, "I'll take you there, and I'll take you there now."

……

Just as Naoto Matsushiro judged, the stranger was never found at the agreed meeting place.

This is so common.

Something similar has happened before in Manila.

The timid rioters, not daring to take risks themselves, often created panic in Manila by buying off the locals.

Then, they can claim credit from their American masters behind them and get a large bonus.

Naoto Matsushiro has handled many such cases.

"Execution!"

Under the orders of Matsushiro Naoto, Ofutt inevitably encountered bad luck.

Although it was a busy night and only caught one ordinary person, it was not without gains.

At the very least, Ofutt can also be defined as a rioter, and he can also record a rich and colorful achievement in Naoto Matsushiro's merit book!
