Lost and Spy

Chapter 678 Co-working
"I'm Lieutenant Hideki Inana!"

"Ten beheaded, Hideki Inana?"

"Sorry, it's me."

Ten people beheaded, Hideki Inana!
This name has been heard by many Japanese.

In the Japanese army, there are the so-called "hundred people beheaded" Second Lieutenant Akitoshi Mukai and Second Lieutenant Noda Takeshi who were notorious for their numerous crimes.

But their so-called beheading of a hundred people killed most of the ordinary Chinese civilians or wounded soldiers of the national army.

But this Inana Hideki is different.

During the Battle of Songhu, his unit arrived in Shanghai relatively late to support him. It is said that he killed three national soldiers on the first day he entered the battlefield.

In the next two days, he killed seven more.

until he was injured and forced to leave the battlefield.

So, he has this nickname:

Ten people beheaded!
Really killed ten soldiers of the Chinese army.

One of his uncles was an official of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai. Through his relationship, he was transferred to the consulate. He was in charge of the security of the consulate in name, but actually engaged in spy work.

Although Atsushi Komatsu's official rank far exceeds that of Hideki Inana, he has never actually been on the battlefield. Therefore, when he heard that the consulate sent ten famous men to pick him up, he felt very honored.

"Your Excellency, the car is over there."

Inana Hideki very politely took Atsushi Komatsu into a car.

Thick black velvet hung from the windows, sealing off the car from the outside world.

"Drive." Ina Hideki ordered the driver, and then said:

"The Chinese Army Command is very active, and there are spies within us. Maybe the news of your coming to the International Settlement has been leaked, so we must ensure your safety."

"Ah, Your Excellency Inana, I really bothered you."

"It's my responsibility to ensure your safety!"

Inana Hideki sighed: "Since Yoshikawa's Gomon was assassinated, everything is in danger. This time, Your Excellency the Special Envoy came to Shanghai, and I am very worried about what troubles Tanishige and Matsumoto will encounter in the investigation."

"Your Excellency Major." Hideki Inana interjected, "I'm just a second lieutenant, and there are some things I shouldn't say. However, since I'm here to receive you, there are some things I have to say.

We are all subordinates, and we are only following orders. It seems that we should not get involved in matters of superiors, otherwise, I think if it gets out..."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Atsushi Komatsu suddenly realized.

He is very grateful to Hideki Ina for reminding him.

Your Excellency the special envoy came to Shanghai this time to investigate the death of Yoshikawa Wumen.

Even Colonel Gu Shigehara Michi and Matsumoto Hitotsu were implicated.

The best choice at this time is to shut up.

The driver's car drove very smoothly.

Along the way, Ina Hideki briefly introduced the current situation.

After Mr. Special Envoy arrived in Shanghai, all the special agents transferred from other places were in charge of protecting him.

The secret agents of the public concession are in charge of peripheral security and monitoring of military agents.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, a joint office of the army, navy, and consulate was established after the suggestion of Colonel Tani Shigehara Michi.

For the Army, Major Kojiro Kawamoto; for the Navy, Major Atsushi Komatsu; and for the Consulate, Second Lieutenant Hideki Inana.

Since Major Kawamoto Kojiro is in charge of surveillance tasks, the temporary office is in charge of Major Atsushi Komatsu in terms of military rank.

The main task of this office is to wait for orders from superiors at any time and complete them as soon as possible.

All distribute weapons, and when necessary, serve as soldiers.

The office location is provided by the consulate.

The car stopped.

"We have arrived, Your Excellency the Major."

Hideki Inana got off the car first.

This is a two storey building.

Inana Hideki gave a brief introduction. In the past, this was a company with a warehouse behind it, which belonged to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the guards immediately stopped them with their hands: "Certificates."

Hideki Inana and Atsushi Komatsu took out their ID cards.

"Your Excellency, Second Lieutenant, you don't need to check yours." The man on guard looked at Atsushi Komatsu's ID: "Please wait a moment."

He walked in, probably to call to check.

Well, the defense work is very solid.

Atsushi Komatsu appreciated it very much.

After waiting for a few minutes, the man came out and returned the ID to Atsushi Komatsu:

"Your Excellency, Major, I'm really sorry for wasting your time, you can go in now."

As soon as I walked in, I found that there were people walking in and out of each office, which was very busy.

The phone rang one after another.

Some of them were in military uniform.

These people in military uniform should belong to the consulate.

"Your Excellency, Second Lieutenant."

A sergeant came to meet him: "I just received an order. An important person will come to check here in an hour. Please go to the office to be on duty and wait for instructions at any time. To ensure safety, all calls will be cut off after 30 minutes. Do not leave the office without permission."

"Yes, I know."

Hideki Inana turned to Atsushi Komatsu and said, "Your Excellency, Major, please follow me."

In a room at the end, there was a sudden scream.

"That is?"

Atsushi Komatsu asked.

Ina Hideki looked at his watch: "There is still a little time, let me show you around here."

He brought Atsushi Komatsu to the last room on the first floor and opened the door: "This is our temporary interrogation room."

Inside, two burly men were interrogating a prisoner who was hanging there.

The prisoner was covered in blood and was beaten terribly.

A whip, just soaked in a bucket.

"This is a military command agent who was just captured by us."

Ina Hideki came to the prisoner, grabbed his hair, and said in stiff Chinese:
"Say, your superior, who. Yours, who to contact, suffer, don't!"

"Pooh!"

The agent spat at Hideki Inana.

"Snapped!"

Inana Hideki slapped the agent hard: "Use torture, torture, you must get his confession."

Saying that, he wiped his face with a handkerchief:

"Your Excellency, Major, I will take you to another place."

"These damn Chinese agents." Komatsu Atsushi also cursed viciously.

Ina Hideki took him to the warehouse behind.

Atsushi Komatsu was surprised to find that this place has been transformed into a execution ground.

The executioners were two young Chinese, a man and a woman. Judging from their attire, they seemed to be students.

"They are all students." Inana Hideki's words confirmed Atsushi Komatsu's guess: "They were instigating a parade against the imperial jihad, and they had to make an example to curb this trend, so we secretly arrested them."

Atsushi Komatsu saw that the two executioners, holding two sharp knives, stabbed the hearts of the two students without hesitation.

A large stream of blood flowed from the heart, and the two poor students turned into corpses.

Atsushi Komatsu couldn't help admiring: "This place really opened my eyes!"

The public concession is certainly not the same.

That's what spy work should be.

There must be no mercy in dealing with the enemy.

These are all enemies of the empire, or potential enemies.

"Here, about eight to ten Chinese people are executed every day." Hideki Inana said nonchalantly: "There are a lot of Chinese people, and we can't kill them all. However, we will kill them one day."

Another bloody, disheveled man was brought in.

And it's still a woman!
Obviously, she knew Hideki Inana, and when she saw it, she gritted her teeth and cursed in Chinese:

"Beast, beast, you must die!"

As soon as Inana Hideki stretched out his hand, a pistol was handed over to him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he fired three shots at the woman with a "bang bang bang".

The woman's body fell to the ground, and streams of blood flowed from her body.

Inana Hideki returned the pistol to his companion: "I'm also a military agent. When I was first caught, she looked very feminine, so I asked my subordinates to 'taste' her, hahaha."

He laughed wantonly.

Atsushi Komatsu also smiled contentedly.

"Ten people beheaded" deserves its reputation.

He was amazed in his heart.

It should be so ruthless towards Chinese people.

Regardless of whether the other party is a man or a woman.

It's nice to be in the Public Settlement.

Atsushi Komatsu was even a little envious.

After a general tour, Hideki Inana took Atsushi Komatsu back to the office.

After a while, the bell rang.

Inana Hideki closed the office door and took out a cigarette: "Smoking?"

"Thank you."

Atsushi Komatsu lit a cigarette.

He was curious, what important person would come to check here?
Your Excellency the Special Envoy?

Soon, he had an answer.

Some noisy voices came.

Seems like a lot of people came?

Immediately afterwards, not far from the office, a slightly old voice came:

"Master Matsumoto, I am very satisfied with the work here."

Colonel Matsumoto?Atsushi Komatsu was taken aback, is it Colonel Hitotsu Matsumoto?
The Colonel Matsumoto outside said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency General."

Your Excellency General?Could it be that His Excellency the Special Envoy has arrived?

Immediately, His Excellency the General said: "Master Gu Shige, the navy needs to learn from the experience of the army and the consulate."

"Hay."

"Master Gu Fan, it doesn't matter if you encounter setbacks occasionally, the key is how to learn from the setbacks."

"Hay."

Ah, it really is Your Excellency the Envoy.

Colonel Tani Shigehara Michi was also there.

Atsushi Komatsu was both surprised and delighted.

He saw Ina Hideki smiling and shaking his head towards him, and immediately came to his senses.

Yes, now I am performing a special task, calm down, must be calm.

No matter who is outside the door.

"Your Excellency, General Gu Shigeru." Matsumoto said there again: "The second floor is a temporary office. We will work there today, and accept the investigation of Your Excellency, General, and deploy the next work."

"Then I will trouble you. Inform the consulate to bring that relative of the Chinese medicine king as soon as possible. Be sure to pay attention to safety, and absolutely no accidents will occur, otherwise, this will be a new shame for you!"

"Hay!"

Your Excellency the Special Envoy is really busy.

"Inao Mingjun, what medicine king is the Chinese?"

"Qu Huanzhang, who provided a large amount of medicine to the Chinese army, has a very bad conscience."

"Yes, a bad conscience."

"However, we have found a way to deal with them!"
