Chapter 1102 Shadowless Ronin
On the Yangtze River, many ships are sailing upstream.
The vast majority of ships changed their route to Nanjing by water.
The Japanese patrol boats that were checking had no way to start.
Xu Lai asked in confusion: "Brother Chu! Why don't you let Xinghai and his wife follow us?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I may be the number one suspect in the murder of Aoki Kuao. We are too big a target. It is easy for Xinghai and his wife to be targeted if they follow us. It is better for them to follow Lao Liu for safety."
Wang Manxue smiled and said, "Sister Xu! Let Lao Liu and the others take care of Xinghai and his wife. If something goes wrong, there will be room for maneuver and it won't be a complete loss."
Xu Lai smiled and said, "I see! At worst, we can use Lao Liu as a scapegoat."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "You two! How can you think like that? How sad is Old Liu?"
Wang Manxue whispered, "Nanfeng's father! Are you Communists afraid of sacrifice?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Of course I'm not afraid! Do you want to join?"
Wang Manxue shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
At this time, the radio transmission sounded next to Xu Lai.
She quickly copied and translated the message, and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Chu! You predicted it right. Nanzō Yunzi called and asked if you killed Aoki Kuao? How did she know the news so quickly?"
Xiang Chu took the telegram and said thoughtfully: "There must be some fish that slipped through the net in the ambush in the mountains at night. Tell her! Aoki Kuao was killed by the New Fourth Army, and it has nothing to do with the head of this agency."
Xu Lai nodded and said, "Okay! This female devil will definitely be very happy."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "The happiest ones should be those guys from the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Bureau."
Fuso, Cabinet Intelligence Bureau meeting room.
The unexpected death of the newly appointed director, Aoki Kuao, was like a bolt from the blue.
Officials above the ministerial level immediately convened an emergency meeting.
As Konoe Takeharu's promotion was delayed because there was no one to take over, he came over early in the morning to preside over the meeting.
At this moment, he looked helpless, but the ministers were in high spirits.
Needless to say, all the ministers had the idea of taking over as director.
In order to escape in time, Konoe Takeharu decided to quickly promote Ichidori Akihiro and have him promoted to director as soon as possible.
He sat up straight and pretended to be extremely sad and said, "Gentlemen! It is a pity that Aoki Kuao was attacked and killed by the Chinese New Fourth Army guerrillas on the Tangshan section of the China-Hangzhou-Ningbo Highway."
Ming Qianxing followed Konoe Takeharu's advice and was the first to stand up and express his opinion:
"Ming Qianxing is willing to go to China to avenge Director Aoki."
The other ministers stood up and spoke, but they were a step slower.
Konoe Takeharu gave a thumbs up to Ming Qianxing and praised:
"Ichinori! You have performed the best. If Aoki Kuao knew about this, he would definitely let you take over his position. You should be in charge of the overall affairs for the time being."
"Hello!"
Ming Qianxing bowed and accepted the order.
"Bang!" a voice.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a fierce woman walked into the conference room domineeringly.
Behind the shrew was a male detective wearing a top hat and with a gloomy face.
The detective's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, as if trying to find the criminal.
Konoe Takeharu stood up hastily and said with a smile:
"Mrs. Aoki! Why are you here?"
The fierce woman pointed at the detective and introduced him, "Konoe Takeji! This lady has specially hired the Empire's top detective, Fukushima Asakage, to go to China to investigate the death of Aoki Kuao. Please appoint him as the deputy chief of the Shanghai Special High Section so that he can mobilize manpower and resources to avenge my husband."
Konoe Takeharu said with a smile: "Madam! Director Aoki was busy fighting for the Imperial Holy War, but he was ambushed by the Chinese guerrillas. The army will take revenge."
The fierce woman shook her head and said, "No! According to Sangfu's brother Wenfu, the murderer is someone else. I have plenty of money. If you don't agree, someone else will."
Konoe Takeharu had heard of her before, and knew that she was a noble and used to being arrogant, so he said helplessly: "Okay! I will negotiate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let Fukushima Asakage be the deputy director of the Shanghai Special High Section."
The shrew said with satisfaction: "Very good! Qianying! Let's go."
After saying this, she took Fukushima Asakage's hand and walked out of the meeting room.
Konoe Takeharu and the other ministers looked at each other in surprise, feeling that Mrs. Aoki had an unusual relationship with the detective, and Aoki Kuo was very jealous.
Ming Qianxing, in order to show his noble character as the acting director, hurriedly said, "Sir Konoe! Qianxing, go see Madam Aoki off."
Konoe Takeharu nodded and said, "Go!"
Ming Qianxing ran out of the conference room, caught up with Mrs. Aoki, and said respectfully:
"Madam! Qianxing is here to see you off."
Mrs. Aoki said unhappily, "No need! My husband's death has a lot to do with your subordinate, the head of the Shadow Agency."
Ming Qianxing cherished the position of acting director very much, and instinctively shirked the responsibility: "Madam! The director of the film agency is the head of the Yamashita generation, Fujiwara
General, Qianxing has no control over him at all."
Madam Aoki sneered, "You can't control him. My boyfriend will definitely find something to hold against him. Humph!"
Fukushima Asakage sneered, "Ichidori! Don't worry, this great detective will definitely bring the director of the Shadow Agency back to you."
Ming Qianxing asked in confusion: "Fukushima Qianying! Why don't you just go catch the murderer? Why do you have to pick a fight with the director of the Ying Bureau?"
Fukushima Asakage smiled mysteriously and said, "Because some people say that the head of the Shadow Agency is the murderer of old man Aoki."
Ming Qianxing said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. The head of the Shadow Bureau is a general of the empire and has made countless contributions."
Mrs. Aoki helped out, "Ming Qianxing! This is what Aoki Fumio, the brother of that damned Aoki Kuofu, said. Qianying! Don't tell anyone else. Just take the Aoki family's Shadowless Ronin and go to China to start the operation. Let's go!"
Fukushima Asakage said with a grin, "Yoshi! All the Shadowless Ronin have been dispatched. The Shadow Agency leader is doomed to die."
Madam Qingmu pinched his little face and said angrily, "Qianying! Don't be too ostentatious when doing things, or you will suffer."
Fukushima Qianying put his arm around her slim waist and said frivolously, "With Madam protecting me, what is there for Qianying to be afraid of? Haha!"
Ming Qianxing looked at their backs and thought to himself, "No! I have to tell the first generation not to fall for this pair of bastards."
On the Yangtze River, outside Nanjing Port.
The steamer Xiang Chu was on was slowly entering the port.
Ma Fugui sent the telegram and reported: "Director! The Cabinet Intelligence Department called."
Xiang Chu took the telegram and nodded, "Yes! Ming Qianxing has been promoted to acting director."
Wang Manxue came over to take a look and said angrily, "You only report good news and not bad news! He said that the great detective Fukushima Asakage was going to be the deputy chief of the Shanghai Special High Section and that he was going to bring the Shadowless Ronin to harm you. Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiang Chu said disapprovingly: "What a great detective, he's just a gigolo. Don't worry! No matter how many people come to harm me, the same word will apply: death!"
Wang Manxue shook her head and said, "Nanfeng's father! The Shadowless Ronin must be very terrifying, we must not be careless!"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "If it were in Fuso, I might not be able to defeat them. China is my home ground."
At this time, Lan Cheng rushed into the cabin and said anxiously:
"Boss! There are many agents from No. 76 on our dock."
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Does the people from No. 76 dare to challenge our chief?"
He quickly stood up and looked towards Pier 19 in Xiaguan.
The docks were filled with agents, all with weapons in hand.
The leader was Zhou Hai, who was negotiating with Bao Ge.
