Chapter 676: Muranishi Isao Exposed
Matsuzaki Naoto?
How did he suddenly call?
Okamura Neiji slightly frowned, quickly walked to the phone: "Matsuzaki-kun, what's wrong?"
"General, there's an important discovery in the investigation of Muranishi Isao!" Matsuzaki Naoto exclaimed excitedly.
Hearing this, Okamura Neiji felt delighted, said into the microphone: "Wait a moment!"
After saying that, Okamura Neiji dispersed the few staff officers around him, then said into the microphone: "Matsuzaki-kun, you may continue."
Seeing this, Adachi 23 felt a bit strange, quickly walked to Okamura Neiji's side.
"General Okamura, after our relentless efforts, we finally discovered that Richard and Muranishi Isao have a financial transaction!"
"Your guess is correct, this guy Muranishi Isao is indeed a Red Party agent hiding within us!"
"This damned bastard, not only betrayed Younger Brother Country, but also betrayed the locust army's painstaking cultivation!"
"General Okamura, quickly give the order, arrest this traitor!"
Hearing this, Okamura Neiji silently thought, "As expected."
Arresting him now is definitely not possible; Okamura Neiji still hopes Muranishi Isao will lure out the internal ghost selling supplies to the local Eighth Route.
"Matsuzaki-kun, have you announced this externally?" Okamura Neiji's eyes flickered.
"It's of great importance; I have not yet leaked it temporarily," Matsuzaki Naoto said in a muffled voice.
"Yo, very good!" Okamura Neiji said sternly: "Matsuzaki-kun, from now on, without my order, you must not take any action!"
"What?" Matsuzaki Naoto was somewhat surprised: "General, the evidence is now solid…"
If it were financial dealings with Ozaki, we could brush it off as them being colleagues.
But Richard is a Su State secret agent; how could Muranishi Isao possibly be connected to him?
"This is a military order!" Okamura Neiji said sternly: "Before my order, everything must remain normal, lest we scare the snake in the grass."
"If this leaks, causing Muranishi Isao to become alert and flee, I will certainly hold you responsible!"
"Ha, I understand," Matsuzaki Naoto replied helplessly.
Okamura Neiji then hung up the phone.
"General Okamura, what's going on?" Adachi chased after.
Okamura Neiji briefly explained the matter.
Adachi's old devil reaction was the same as Matsuzaki Naoto's; he instinctively wanted to arrest Muranishi Isao.
Okamura Neiji however said: "We can arrest him, but not now; didn't you forget we still have a scoundrel inside who dares to sell supplies externally?"
Adachi 23 immediately understood the old devil's idea.
If we investigate this guy's identity, Muranishi Isao will surely try to rescue him; then we can kill two birds with one stone and net them both!
"General Okamura's high opinion!" Adachi 23 flattered.
"Adachi-kun, this matter must be kept strictly secret; after the Chief Director's investigation progresses, we will then arrest this scoundrel!" Okamura Neiji said through gritted teeth.
……
A military warehouse in the suburbs of Beiping.
Muranishi Isao still does not know he has been exposed.
They also settled accounts via phone with the units receiving supplies; all supplies are traceable.
Especially the weapons and equipment sent to the repair workshop, all have records and the quantity is only a dozen or so guns, far from over a thousand.
After the last phone call, Chen Yongren looked out the window: "Muranishi-kun, stop; it's already dark."
Muranishi Isao was startled, turned his head to look outside; outside was pitch black.
He only remembered that at lunchtime on the way, it was still bright.
"Time really flew by that fast?" Muranishi Isao blanked.
"No, it's because we worked too hard." Chen Yongren raised his hand to check his watch: "Muranishi-kun, it's already 10 o'clock; let's go back and investigate slowly, and also report progress to General Okamura."
Muranishi Isao had no objection, followed Chen Yongren out of the warehouse.
First returned to the Special Investigation Unit.
As Chen Yongren expected, the Special Investigation Unit members' investigation also made no progress; after calming the members' emotions, Chen Yongren then went with Muranishi Isao to Okamura Neiji's office.
"Chief Director, Muranishi-kun, you're here; how's the investigation, any findings?" Okamura Neiji said calmly.
"Never mind, Chief Director Uncle, I and Muranishi-kun have looked at documents all day and still found nothing." Chen Yongren feigned helplessness.
While speaking, he habitually gave Okamura Neiji a scanning glance.
Want to see if this old devil has pulled any tricks.
Unexpectedly, there really was an unexpected discovery.
The current situation shows that Okamura Neiji already knows Muranishi Isao's identity as a Red Party agent, intending to use him to continue luring out the internal ghost selling supplies.
Chen Yongren did not expect Muranishi Isao's identity to be exposed so quickly?
Okamura Neiji also wasn't surprised, smiling and comforting: "Don't rush, Chief Director; ferreting out internal ghosts cannot be hurried; haste only leads to mistakes."
"What the General said is absolutely correct; Chief Director understands." Chen Yongren bowed his head.
Damn it.
Upon reflection, my selling equipment to my older brother also counts as indirectly saving Muranishi Isao's life.
If it weren't for this old devil wanting to catch a big fish, he would have already arrested Muranishi Isao and ruined things.
For my older brother's safety, I must find a way to withdraw Muranishi Isao.
Chen Yongren immediately thought of the method used earlier to withdraw Hua Lei and Zhang Haifeng.
Fake death.
Looks like I need to get my older brother's cooperation…
It's late, you've worked hard too; let's continue the investigation tomorrow morning. Okamura Laoguizi didn't want to say more, waved his hand and let the two leave.
Muranishi-kun, get some rest early; we'll see each other tomorrow. Chen Yongren said with a smile.
Since Laoguizi wants to bait the fish, it shows he's temporarily safe; it's a good chance to go find his older brother and make the appropriate arrangements.
Muranishi Kō nodded slightly, bade farewell to Chen Yongren.
Chen Yongren also found Chen Yongyi.
What's wrong, looking for me this late? Chen Yongyi asked, puzzled.
Okamura Neiji already knows Muranishi Kō's true identity as a Red Party spy, and is currently trying to use him to lure out the hidden mole. Chen Yongren said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongyi's heart skipped a beat, but soon he felt doubtful: "A hidden mole?"
Besides Muranishi Kō, there are actually other Japanese Red Party members?
Chen Yongren took a deep breath, briefly recounted what had happened over the past two days, then looked at Chen Yongyi and said: "Don't tell me you don't know about this."
…… Chen Yongyi fell silent, looking at Chen Yongren in disbelief.
What's with that expression? Chen Yongren said impatiently: "Saving him is saving you; I can't just watch you get into trouble, and there's no time for nonsense."
Tomorrow I'll figure out a way to let him fake his death and escape; then I'll tell you where his corpse is buried.
When we dealt with the Japanese spies earlier, we actually obtained several fake-death capsules, which come in handy now.
Besides this corpse,
To cope with Okamura Neiji's second interrogation, we also need to prepare a fresh real corpse, disguising it to look like Muranishi Kō.
Chen Yongyi felt something was off, but didn't have time to think it over, then heard Chen Yongren say: "Speak, why are you just standing there?"
Mm! Chen Yongyi nodded.
After all, he's my own younger brother; if he wanted to screw me over, he wouldn't wait until now.
I'm heading out first; wait for my news tomorrow! Chen Yongren left without another word.
