Chapter 58 Great success
Liu Xingye saw Matsumoto nodding slightly and continued, "If Ivan went to the third floor tea room on the day Sasaki was poisoned to death, and the same poison appeared in his room, as well as the details of being a Russian, then the possibility that Ivan was the person from the Communist International would be even greater.
If he knew Sasaki's true identity, he would be able to take action, because only Sasaki and him took over, which means that Sasaki has already set his sights on him. If Sasaki kills Sasaki, he can cut off the clues."
The others nodded after hearing this, and they all thought that Liu Xingye's words made some sense.
Liu Xingye continued: "But Ivan did not expect that not only the people from Nantien were surveillance, but also from the Military Intelligence Department, Eguchi-kun and others detained Ivan once."
Tian Yan and the others were a little surprised, they didn't know about this.
"Second Lieutenant Jiangkou, is that true?" Tian Yan asked.
"That's right. Since Ivan and Sasaki joined, I sent someone to monitor these two people. Later, I learned that Sasaki was suddenly poisoned to death. At that time, we didn't know that Sasaki was our own person, and we thought he was the real host, so we detained Ivan, hoping to get information from him."
Matsumoto said angrily: "Seither Eguchi, the police department is in charge now. Your Intelligence Department has no right to arrest people here. Have you said hello to the police department before the action?"
Eguchi quickly said, "It's urgent, we didn't have time to say hello. However, when Hoshino-kun knew about it, he rushed to stop us immediately, and we let the person go."
Just as Matsumoto was about to speak, Tian Yan waved his hand. "Forget it, let's talk about these things later. Eguchi, you interrogate Ivan and have you asked if you have any questions?"
"No, this guy didn't admit that he was going to the joints and said that he went to the underground bathroom just to take a shower. It was natural to hum a song while taking a shower. Then Sasaki came over and the two talked about the weather and other words, which was also natural. At that time, we didn't know that Sasaki was our own person. Later, Hoshino-kun told us that Sasaki was from Minati, and we were all confused by this situation."
Matsumoto scolded: "Baga! Not only did you not ask anything, but you were alerting the enemy."
Liu Xingye said: "I think we have misunderstandings about Ivan's issue. Our police department never knows about Ivan's connection to the bathroom. As for the code of the connector is "Yuan Duck Tea" or something, we know nothing about it.
Section Chief Sato did not tell me until after Sasaki was poisoned to death, but Section Chief Sato did not tell me what Sasaki's mission was. Similarly, I don't know what Eguchi-kun and his mission were.
In addition, Miss Kiko Natsumo is from Nantie, and we only found out afterwards. Because we didn’t understand some situations, our investigation took a lot of detours. In fact, if we could communicate with each other, the efficiency might be higher."
Tian Yan slapped the table and said in a fire: "Baga! You departments are not in communication with each other and fight each other, especially the Nantietel Investigation Class and the Military Intelligence Department. You know the details of the Communist International link, but you neither told the Special High School nor the Police Department, but acted without authorization and alarmed the enemy. This also led to the police department not paying enough attention to this issue, which led to the incident where Ivan was beaten to death halfway through."
On the one hand, Tian Yan was really popular. The Nantie Investigation Class and the Military Intelligence Department were too disrespectful to them. Under their eyes, such important information was not explained to them, and he clearly wanted to take credit for himself. On the other hand, he also made excuses for Ivan to be beaten to death and put the blame on these two companies.
Bai Junyi quickly said: "Yes, our police department thought Ivan was just the murderer of two murders, but he didn't expect that he might be from the Communist International, so I only sent three people to escort him. If I knew that he might be from the Communist International, I would definitely send more people, so that even if I was attacked halfway, Ivan's life could be saved.
I think that group of attackers is probably from the Far East Intelligence Group, because they are all Russians, and the only Russians who are organized here are the Far East Intelligence Group. The Soviet Union and the Communist International have a close relationship, and it is normal for the Communist International to cooperate with their people.
I guess after Far East Intelligence Team learned that the place was blocked, they sent people to monitor outside the hotel. Otherwise, they would not have attacked so quickly. They must have seen Ivan being taken out, and they were worried that he would provide information, so they beat him to death halfway.
This also proves from another aspect that Ivan is a member of the Communist International. Otherwise, why would the Far East Intelligence Group kill an irrelevant Russian? At the same time, I think this attack also proves that Ivan's mission to Harbin is very important. Neither the Communist International nor the Far East Intelligence Group want us to know. Unfortunately, with Ivan being shot dead, we don't know what his mission is."
Now, everyone here believes that Ivan is from the Communist International, and only Matsumoto has some questions.
"Liu Sang, you said Ivan was a member of the Communist International. Why did he kill Hank and Stepan and take away their money? This seemed to be the act of a thief?"
Liu Xingye said: "Ivan killed Stepan because he saw Ivan coming out of Hank's room, which was considered a murder and silence. He took away the property of the two. I think this is another trick for him. He wanted to make people think that these two murders were related to money.
As for why he killed Hank, I don’t know whether Hank accidentally revealed his identity or other reasons. These can only be obtained by interrogating Ivan. Unfortunately, Ivan is dead."
"Okay," Tian Yan waved his hand, "I think this Ivan must be the one from the Communist International, and this should be clear."
Tian Yan was eager to draw a conclusion. On the one hand, all kinds of evidence showed that Ivan was probably the one from the Communist International, and on the other hand, Tian Yan also wanted this credit to the superiors before the emperor's special envoy arrived.
"Liu Sang, you did a great job," Tian Yan said. "Due to the death of Hank and Stepan, the German and Soviet embassies have asked us many times. Liu Sang, it is because you quickly and efficiently solved this case and successfully restored our international reputation. I want to congratulate you and the Police Department."
Tian Yan took the lead in applauding, and the others also slammed.
He waved his hand, everyone stopped to applaud, and Tian Yan began to summarize:
"Everyone, this time we successfully captured the people of the Communist International. Although Ivan was beaten to death in the end, it was a little regretful, but at least we made this mission of the Communist International unable to complete, which was a considerable victory.
And in other aspects, we can say that we have won a great victory.
As we all know, there have been many vicious cases in this big hotel recently, involving not only our people, but also international people such as Germany and Russia. Agents of the Nantec Investigation Class, Nobuyuki and Sasaki were poisoned one after another, the German Hank was killed, and the Russian Stepan was poisoned to death. These cases were serious and had a very bad impact.
However, all of these cases have been successfully solved by us, and have won praise in society and internationally.
Everyone, here I would like to praise Mr. Liu Xingye, the acting deputy chief of the Criminal Department, again. It is precisely because of his outstanding detective talent that he can withstand all kinds of pressure and successfully solve these major cases.
In addition, Mr. Liu Xingye successfully intercepted the printing plate transported by the Kuomintang Military Control Commission, killed the Military Control Commission agents, and defeated the Military Control Commission's plan to interfere with the economic crackdown of the Manchukuo. Similarly, the criminals in the Tianyiyuan Jewelry Theft case were also captured by Mr. Liu Xingye. In addition, don't forget that Ivan, a cunning Russian, was also trapped in the hands of Mr. Liu Xingye.
In more than a week, Mr. Liu Xingye cracked five or six major cases, showing amazing talent. His outstanding detective ability once again proved that he is the mainstay of our Harbin police circle and deserves the title of detective.
Here I announce that all the personnel participating in the cracking of several major cases will be given a heavy reward. In this purge, the highest reward we give to the whistleblower is 1ooo, and the reward for those participating in the cracking of these major cases will exceed this number."
Warm applause broke out in the conference room.
Among the cheerful people, only the Chief Sato of the Nantik Investigation Class and the Second Lieutenant Eguchi of the Military Intelligence Department were a little embarrassed.
Amid the applause, Tian Yan happily announced that the purge was a complete success.
Chapter completed!
