"Yes, that's what Yuan Shikai said."

He Li didn't know why Takemiya Yoshio was so concerned about Yuan Shikai all of a sudden, so she asked curiously:

"Is there something wrong with this Yuan Shikai? Do you suspect he is a traitor?"

Yuan Ye's heart skipped a beat. Was this Takemiya Yoshio asking casually, or did he have doubts about him?

This is impossible. I only met Takemiya Yoshio once. How could he suspect me for no reason?

Or was it that he discovered some flaw in me and I was completely unaware of it?

But if he really suspected me, why didn't he monitor him?

Yuan Ye was just daydreaming when Takemiya Yoshio said:

"It's hard to say whether there is a problem or not. Yesterday, Team Leader Ono was killed. I saw in his diary that Team Leader Ono seemed to have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he was. He had an unusual feeling about Yuan Shikai. Although this is just his personal feeling, I think this person still needs attention."

When Yuan Ye heard this, he finally understood why. It turned out that although Ono Keiji was killed by him, he still left some traces. Fortunately, there was nothing substantial. Takemiya Yoshio couldn't do anything to him, but it was not good to be noticed by him.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him."

He Li said.

"Well, be careful not to be discovered by him. It would be good if there is no problem. If he has a problem, it will alert him."

Takemiya Yoshio warned.

"I understand."

After saying that, He Li hung up the phone, walked out of the phone booth and went back to the city government. Not long after, Yuan Ye also returned to the city government.

Su Xiwu, who was far away in Nanjing, also heard the news of the failed assassination attempt outside the city hall gate. Fu Quan'an was not dead, which disappointed Su Xiwu, and the death of the Japanese adviser made him feel uneasy.

Things did not go according to his plan at all. He had planned everything, but he did not expect that the old fox Fu Quan'an was wearing an iron vest, which allowed him to escape this disaster.

What he couldn't understand in particular was why Wang Jianwu wanted to kill the Japanese adviser?

He gave Qian Hao many instructions, asking him to tell Wang Jianwu to only kill Fu Quan'an and not to kill anyone else present.

Did Qian Hao fail to convey the message, or did Wang Jianwu take the initiative?

The entire operation was originally carried out by Wang Jianwu alone, so why did he have accomplices to support him?

Su Xiwu felt that there was something weird about this matter. Wang Jianwu was not as simple as he initially thought. He began to have deep doubts about Wang Jianwu's identity.

Could he be from the Military Control Commission?

After careful consideration, Su Xiwu came to the conclusion that Wang Jianwu was a special agent of the Military Control Commission, and that the Military Control Commission used his plan to assassinate Fu Quan'an and the Japanese adviser. Otherwise, all this could not be explained at all.

Moreover, there was no doubt that the Military Control Commission knew in advance that he wanted to kill Fu Quan'an, so they sent Wang Jianwu to him.

How did the Military Control Commission know this?

Was it guessed, or did Qian Hao tell the Military Control Commission?

Su Xiwu felt that the Military Control Commission knew about the conflict between him and Fu Quan'an, and it was possible that he would want to kill Fu Quan'an, but he felt that the possibility was not high, otherwise it would be too coincidental that Wang Jianwu would be delivered to the door sooner or later.

If this is not the case, then it was Qian Hao who told the Military Control Commission, because apart from Qian Hao, no one else knew about his plan to kill Fu Quan'an, and it was he who entrusted Qian Hao to find the killer. So does this mean that Qian Hao is also a member of the Military Control Commission?

Su Xiwu felt horrified at the thought that the person he trusted turned out to be a Military Intelligence Bureau agent. Fortunately, he did not do anything to offend Shancheng when he was in office, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Su Xiwu was such a smart man that he immediately saw the beneficial side of this matter.

The conflict between him and Fu Quan'an is known to everyone. Now if everyone thinks that it was done by the Military Control Commission, then his suspicion will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the death of the Japanese adviser will be a blow to Fu Quan'an. He will definitely have to take responsibility, and it is hard to say whether he can keep his position as mayor.

This time in Nanjing, he visited a number of senior officials including Commander of the Central China Front Army Keiji Isogai and Executive Yuan Chairman Liang Hongzhi. Although it cost a lot, the effect was still good.

During his conversation with Keiji Isogai, he felt that Keiji Isogai seemed dissatisfied with Fu Quan'an, and had a good impression of him. This was related to his experience of studying in Japan and his Japanese connections, and of course more importantly, the large sum of money he offered.

He had just heard that an investigation team to investigate the deaths of Chen Lu and the Japanese adviser had been set up, led by the military and assisted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Meiji government. The team leader was Major General Sakata Eio, Director of the Intelligence Department of the Central China Front Army, and members included Iwai Yuichi, Deputy Consul of the Consulate General sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Zhang Shicheng, Deputy Minister of Justice sent by the Meiji government.

When Su Xiwu heard that Iwai Yuichi was a member of the investigation team, he was very happy. With Iwai Yuichi, his suspicion would be eliminated and he could take the opportunity to attack Fu Quanan.

Su Xiwu regained his confidence. He decided not to stay in Nanjing and would return to Shanghai tomorrow. Of course, the first thing he would do after returning was to visit Iwai Yuichi.

He had already decided to bring his student Yuan Ye to meet Iwai Yuichi. Yuan Ye's calligraphy skills were so high that Iwai Yuichi would definitely be very happy to see him.

Of course, he would not go to see Iwai Yuichi empty-handed. He was prepared to reluctantly give up the purple gold stone inkstone that Yuan Ye gave him as a gift to Iwai Yuichi. Iwai Yuichi would definitely be ecstatic. As long as he could overthrow Fu Quan'an, what would a mere ancient inkstone mean?

……

After the assassination of Fu Quan'an and the Japanese adviser, Yu Dehai sent Fu Quan'an to the hospital and ordered the captain of the guard battalion, Li Chengzong, to stay and deal with the aftermath.

After cleaning up the mess, Li Chengzong was worried in his office. After all, the killer was a guard under his command, and he had an unshirkable responsibility.

When he learned that the guard was actually Wang Jian, who had only been there a few days, he was even more shocked and angrily yelled:

"That bastard Qian Hao has caused me so much trouble. Go and call him over."

"Captain, Captain Qian didn't come today."

The subordinate said quickly.

Li Chengzong then remembered that Qian Hao had asked for leave from him yesterday, and he was so angry that he forgot about it.

He quickly picked up the phone on the table and dialed Qian Hao's home, but no one answered the call.

He ordered his men to go to Qian Hao's house to look for him. Half an hour later, his men came back to report that the door of Qian Hao's house was locked and no one was at home. He asked the neighbors, but they didn't know where Qian Hao and his family had gone.

When Li Chengzong heard this, he felt that something was wrong. Qian Hao must have run away with his family.

It seems that Qian Hao had planned it in advance. He introduced the killer to work as a guard, and then ran away the day before the operation.

This Qian Hao is Su Xiwu's man. Could it be that Su Xiwu is the mastermind behind this?
