Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 229: I'm not wrong

Kitahara Ransuke called over two military police and asked them to take a photo of the dead reporter, and then he took out the invitation letter from the clothes of the corpse.

He was so angry when he saw it, "Daily News, the Daily News again! This is a press station, but it's also a spy den!"

Then he ordered the military police, "Immediately seize the press station and these people's dormitories! Bring this person's information over!"

Shunsuke Aburatsu also came over, laid out the body, picked up his two hands and looked at them.

"Based on my experience, he may really be a journalist. You see, there are symmetrical calluses on the inside of the first joints of his index and middle fingers. They are much thicker than those of ordinary people. This is obviously formed by long-term writing. There are no obvious marks on the base of his thumb, which means he rarely or never held a gun."

Kitahara Ransuke nodded and said, "Aburatsu-kun, today we are in trouble thanks to you. If you hadn't shot him dead in time, there might have been chaos for a while."

In fact, even if Shunsuke Aburatsu didn't shoot, the many military police outside were no pushovers. However, if they really started firing indiscriminately, it would cause a big mess.

Without saying a word of politeness, Shunsuke Aburatsu just nodded expressionlessly and accepted Kitahara Ransuke's thanks without any modesty.

Kitahara Ransuke cursed himself inwardly for being such a jerk. Why was he saying these things to his grandson!

Lin Ze expressed his doubts, "But the question is, why did he shoot at Qi Ying?"

Kitahara Ransuke raised his head and said, "Yes!"

If he wanted to cause trouble, he should have assassinated Wu Ziyu, and what he shouted was "Why did you surrender, why did you betray your country?" Qi Ying had already defected to the Japanese a long time ago, so if he had to kill someone today, he should kill Wu Ziyu!

In the flower hall, Wu Ziyu had already come out. He was dressed very smartly and had very short hair, which seemed to be the style of the old Beiyang people, who all had detention center-style haircuts.

He kept smiling when facing the reporters, which made Colonel Matsuzaki feel relieved.

Signaling with his eyes that it was time to begin, Okano Masujiro stood up and said loudly: "Dear journalist friends, I have invited you all here today to first of all bear witness to one thing, that is, Colonel Naoto Matsuzaki, the commander-in-chief of the Peking Command, has always admired traditional Chinese culture. As everyone knows, Mr. Wu Ziyu was not only a professional soldier, but also an intellectual with outstanding wisdom, especially in the study of traditional Chinese culture and ancient classics. Therefore, Colonel Naoto Matsuzaki will formally worship Mr. Wu Ziyu as his teacher today!"

There was an uproar below!

Wu Ziyu actually defected to the Japanese!

They even came up with some trick of accepting a master as their apprentice to whitewash the situation!

What’s the difference between this and what happened back then when the water was too cold and my head was too itchy?

The Japanese were really capable of making great efforts. Matsuzaki, as the commander-in-chief of the gendarmerie headquarters, worshipped an old general who had resigned from office as his teacher. You have to know that in Chinese customs, the relationship between master and apprentice is like that between father and son!

Doesn’t that mean Matsuzaki has found a father for himself?

A reporter stood up and asked, "Excuse me, in addition to becoming a master and apprentice with Colonel Matsuzaki, will there be more in-depth cooperation between Mr. Wu Ziyu and Colonel Matsuzaki? Will Mr. Wu Ziyu take up a relevant position in the Administrative Committee?"

The civil servant who presided over the reception immediately said: "These questions will be answered after the ceremony. Now please witness the apprenticeship ceremony."

Under the guidance of Okano Masujiro, Colonel Matsuzaki presented a gift to Wu Ziyu in a proper manner. Of course, kowtow was impossible, so he bowed instead.

Wu Ziyu accepted the gift with a smile and gave a set of four treasures of the study in return.

Colonel Matsuzaki acted out the performance as if it were real, "Sir! I hope you can teach your disciples strictly in the future!"

Wu Ziyu nodded and patted his shoulder, "Learn more poetry and books, learn to be a good person, learn to be a good person!"

The reporters were snapping photos.

Planning to use this photo for the front page.

Has the once powerful leader finally lowered his proud head today?

Outside, listening to the various noises coming from the flower hall, Lin Ze couldn't tell what he felt.

Kitahara Ransuke was still studying the gun. "It's not easy, very difficult. There are too many of these guns. The army uses them, the headquarters uses them, and there are also many in the civilian population. I'm afraid we won't be able to find out anything just from this gun. Besides, this guy is dead now. Since he dared to sneak in and shoot and assassinate, I'm afraid he has effectively covered up his various relationships. He may not even plan to return alive. Even if we retrieve his information and find out who he usually contacts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find useful information."

Lin Ze looked at the gun, wondering what he was thinking.

Shunsuke Aburatsu stood here for a while, then went back to the door of the flower hall without saying hello.

Kitahara Ransuke arranged, "Lin-san, go to the alley outside to find Gao-san and ask him to conduct a preliminary investigation based on the existing information. Then come back quickly. We have to keep an eye on this to prevent any further incidents. After the reception is over, we will investigate this matter in depth."

"Hayi!"

Lin Ze walked out and went to Dongsi Street, where he found Gao Shengping sitting in the car.

As soon as he saw Lin Ze, he got out of the car and asked, "Shengmin, what happened? I just heard a few gunshots."

Lin Ze dragged him back into the car and whispered, "There was a little chaos inside just now. A reporter from the Japanese Mainichi Shimbun suddenly stood up and opened fire, and was then shot dead by us."

Gao Shengping was greatly shocked. "Damn it! The people in the south have recruited all the Japanese reporters into their group!"

Lin Ze shook his head. "We don't know who they are yet. Military police have already blocked the Mainichi Shimbun's press station and dormitory. Kitahara-kun can't leave now, so let me tell you. You lead the team there first to see if you can find any useful information. The information of these reporters is at the Military Police Headquarters. If necessary, you can also go and retrieve it. Once the reception is over, we will meet up."

Gao Shengping immediately rubbed his hands in anticipation. This was a good opportunity to make a contribution, and it was not dangerous.

"Shengmin, did that guy say something to get beaten to death?"

Lin Ze thought for a moment, "What did he say? Why would you surrender? Why would you betray your country?"

Lao Gao slapped his thigh and said, "It must be someone from the Beiping Station! Think about it, if Wu Ziyu really fell into the water, it would definitely be a huge blow to the South. They will definitely try their best to get rid of Lao Wu!"

"But the problem is that the target of this reporter's shooting was Qi Ying."

"Gah?"

Lao Gao was choked up and turned around for a long time without coming to his senses. "No, why did he hit Qi Ying?"

After thinking for a long time, Lao Gao suddenly said something.

"I think he might have mistaken someone because he was nervous! Wu Ziyu and Qi Ying do look alike. I've seen Wu Ziyu once from a distance before, but I see Qi Ying quite often. They both have long faces and their hair is shaved quite short. If you've only seen photos and not the real person, you might have made a mistake!"

Lin Ze was stunned when he heard this.

Damn, this works!

But what Lao Gao said seems to make sense!
