The gambler was not a stupid man, but he still couldn't understand why Zhou Ke was still willing to give him such a big gold bar when he was obviously no longer of much use.

"I think you are worth the price!" Zhou Ke looked at the gambler with burning eyes and said.

"But Madam, I don't think it's worth it." The gambler smiled awkwardly and pushed the gold bar with tooth marks back. Although he wanted it very much, it would be fatal to accept money that did not belong to him in advance.

"Your District Chief Wang is one of ours, but not mine!" Zhou Ke suppressed his nausea and pushed the gold bar stained with brown saliva back again.

"I see. What do you need me to do?" The gambler was now completely relieved. If there was something big that needed to be done by himself, then there would be no problem in accepting this thing.

"We can get rid of him using any method! I will let the spies fully cooperate with you, but I hope you can give me a satisfactory result within three days, and I will also give you a satisfactory reward accordingly." Zhou Ke said meaningfully.

"If you want to kill him completely, you have to pay more!" the gambler said after thinking for a while.

"Can these get the job done?" Zhou Ke took out a gold bar and a stack of Japanese yen like a magic trick.

"Taijun, don't worry. I don't need the cooperation of spies. I can do it alone, and I guarantee that his death will be an accident!" The gambler looked at the generous Zhou Ke and promised in a deep voice.

"Very good. If you can find other colleagues, I will reward you if you kill one. You are the Shanghai branch of the Military Control Commission. I only need you and the spy!"

After leaving Hongfu Teahouse, Zhou Ke was planning to go to the International Settlement to find Lao Sun to ask about the situation of the comrades who were rescued last time. However, the old devil Tokugawa summoned him for something, so Zhou Ke had to go to the Military Police Headquarters.

"Knock knock!" After thinking for a while and still unable to figure out what was going on, Zhou Ke knocked on the door of Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa's office.

This time it was the secretary who opened the door. Seeing that it was Zhou Ke, he did not announce the visitor but led Zhou Ke to the reception room of Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa's new office. In the reception room at this time were not only Tokugawa Yuichi, but also Major General Takeuchi and Major Yoshino.

When Zhou Ke came to the door, he started to panic when he saw the three people in the same room. Needless to say, what they did must have been exposed. Zhou Ke was a little angry now. The two people he had tried so hard to mediate were a little bit stubborn. It was obviously a good thing, but they had to come to his door!

Just when Zhou Ke finished greeting Major Yoshino's family and began to greet Major General Takeuchi's family, Major General Takeuchi and Major Yoshino, who were sitting, stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

"Zhenping, you're here, just sit down. Look how reserved you are. These two are not outsiders." Looking at the appearance of his old friend's son, Tokugawa Yuichi couldn't help but think of the young Kogoro, and said angrily with some amusement.

"Haha, young people have a bright future, and they've fooled an old man like me! Work hard!"

Major General Takeuchi did not seem to be angry. Instead, he smiled and patted Zhou Ke's arm as he passed by him, and left with Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino having a meaningful smile on his face.

That’s right, it’s Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino. Zhou Ke didn’t notice the military rank just now, but Major Yoshino has been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in just a few days.

"This...Uncle Youyi, do you have any instructions for me to come here? Could it be that Minister Takeuchi came here to complain about me? I am doing this for their own good!" Zhou Ke spoke first.

"Of course they know that you are doing this for their own good, but this shouldn't be your starting point for this matter, right?" Tokugawa Yuichi asked after motioning Zhou Ke to sit down.

"Uncle Youyi, I am here to solve my own problem, so I will help them solve their problem first. My starting point is always to solve the problem!" Zhou Ke replied after thinking for a while.

"Haha, what you said is not wrong. But you are really lucky. You pulled a prank and got yourself a promotion!" As soon as Tokugawa Yuichi said this, Zhou Ke felt that his brain was not enough.

"S~This...Didn't I just get promoted to lieutenant? Can I still be promoted to captain?" Zhou Ke asked uncertainly.

Although the troops under his command now do have a squadron of troops, it is not easy to be promoted to captain without any military achievements.

"What captain? It's major! How can your promotion path be the same as that of ordinary people?"

As soon as Tokugawa You saw Zhou Ke's performance, he knew that the old bastard Matsuda Kogoro had never told Zhou Ke about his true background.

"Uncle Ke Youyi, you just got promoted to lieutenant colonel, is this appropriate for me?"

Zhou Ke's brain was a little out of order at this moment. He hadn't done anything useful to the empire recently, so why was he rising like a rocket?

"Hehe, what's inappropriate about this? Didn't you just solve a case?" Tokugawa Yuichi found Zhou Ke's puzzled look even funnier.

"In fact, the real murderer in this case has not been brought to justice!" Zhou Ke knew that Tokugawa Yuichi was talking about the case of the Gu Xi family, so he told the truth.

"It's not important, it's just an excuse. What's really important is the joint letter of recommendation from me, Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino, Colonel Shimizu and Minister Takeuchi! Although the recommendation system is no longer popular in the empire, that's only for the people below. You are a noble, so it should be different!" Tokugawa Yuichi explained.

"Thank you very much for your cultivation, Uncle Youyi!" Zhou Ke stood up, bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Zhenping, you don't seem very surprised that you are a noble. I thought your father hadn't told you about it just now!"

"This was told to me by Nan Zao Yunzi from the Special High Technology Department. I just found out about it. My father never mentioned this to me before." Zhou Ke told what he knew without hiding anything.

"So it was that old guy named Fatty. He does know a lot of things, but I won't explain some things to you in detail. You can slowly understand them yourself in the future." Tokugawa Yuichi didn't reveal anything more to Zhou Ke.

"Then Uncle Youyi, do I have to go to Major Yoshino's territory in the future? But I'm not very familiar with that place, and I'm afraid it will affect our business. I still want to stay in our Tokugawa Gendarmerie's territory." Zhou Ke said reluctantly.

"Even if you don't mention it, I can't let you slack off! You still have to manage your current territory yourself in the future, so it will be more convenient for business. Also, you have to be promoted to captain for a few days, which is more in line with the process."

Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa watched Zhou Ke's performance and became more and more satisfied with his nephew. Although he was young, he was very calm and steady, especially now. He was not dazzled by the upcoming power and still thought about things in a comprehensive manner.

"Oh, by the way, I have to give you something. You are no longer a child, you have to really make a career for yourself!"

After Tokugawa Yuichi finished speaking, he took out an exquisite cigarette box, took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed the remaining cigarette along with the box to Zhou Ke.

Then, Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa took a deep puff of his cigarette, gritted his teeth, and handed over the equally exquisite lighter as if he had made up his mind.

"Take it. It originally belonged to your father. Even though he didn't want it, I think it might be useful to you when you return to your roots!"

Zhou Ke looked at the familiar three-leaf sunflower family emblem, but secretly retorted in his heart: "Ancestor? No matter what position I have in Japan in the future, I, Zhou Ke, have only one identity, that is, the descendant of Yan and Huang! How can a small vassal pirate be my ancestor!"
