Chapter 1698 Your Old Friend Has Arrived
Ushijima Kaiji went to great lengths, carefully selecting a hundred assassins.
At midnight, he walked into Isogai's bedroom with satisfaction.
Isogai Rengo, wearing only his underwear, was fast asleep, snoring loudly.
Ushijima Kaiji reported loudly, "Your Excellency! I have selected one hundred assassins, who are ready to be dispatched immediately upon your command."
Isogai Rengo remained unmoved and slept like a dead pig.
Ushijima Kaiji reluctantly stepped forward and shook Isogai Reiji vigorously.
Isogai Rengo turned over and went back to sleep.
Ushijima Kaiji pulled him up, shook him vigorously, and shouted:
"Your Excellency! Wake up! I'm about to lead the assassins on an attack."
Isogai Rengo remained unmoved, not even opening his eyes.
Ushijima Kaiji was dumbfounded and reluctantly put Isogai Ren'o down.
He carefully observed Isogai Rengo and sensed something was amiss, thinking to himself:
"Oh no! The governor's health is failing."
He rushed out of the bedroom, opened the door, and gave instructions to the military police on duty at the door:
"You! Go and call Abe no Nakasora Shizuka over here."
"Hello!"
The military police on duty quickly accepted the order.
Shortly afterward, the military police on duty rushed back and reported:
"Chief of Staff! Abe no Nakasora Shizuka has disappeared."
Ushijima Kaiji roared, "Bring the rice tower here to me, Chief of Staff!"
The military policeman on duty said with a wry smile, "Chief of Staff! Have you forgotten? Rice Tower was suspended from duty by the Governor-General and went back to his country on leave a long time ago. Now the military police are under your personal command."
Enraged, Ushijima Kaiji roared, "Baka! Call over Commander Hase, assemble all troops, and arrest Abe no Nakasora Shizuka throughout the city!"
"Hello!"
The military police on duty quickly accepted the order.
At that moment, Isogai Rengo, wearing only his underwear, rushed out of the room, shouting:
"I need a convenient toilet, a convenient toilet!"
Immediately, a foul stench filled the corridor.
Ushijima Kaiji shouted, "Duty officer! Come out quickly and get the governor to the hospital."
A Japanese lieutenant rushed out of the duty room, bowed, and said:
"Chief of Staff! I can't handle this by myself, I'll go get someone right away."
Ushijima Kaiji waved his hand at him, looked at Isogai Rengo who was urinating and defecating in the corridor, and shook his head, saying, "Isogai Rengo has lost control of his mind and is completely finished."
A stout Japanese colonel rushed over and asked:
"Chief of Staff! You called me here?"
Ushijima Kaiji glanced at him and ordered, "Commander Hase! Military Police officer Abe no Nakasora Shizuka has escaped after poisoning the governor. You are to immediately lead your regiment to capture Abe no Nakasora Shizuka throughout the city."
Captain Hase was none other than Hase Ichiro, the young police officer whom Xiang Chu had sponsored in Shanghai.
He asked doubtfully, "Chief of Staff! It doesn't take a whole regiment to capture a deserter, why not send the military police?"
Ushijima Kaiji angrily rebuked, "Hase Ichiro! Are you lecturing me, the Chief of Staff, on how to do things?"
Hasegawa Ichiro hurriedly replied, "Your subordinate wouldn't dare! I'll lead the troops to search for and capture Abe no Nakasora Shizuka right away."
Ushima Kaiji waved his hand and said, "Your troops will be personally commanded by me, the Chief of Staff. You will lead the military police and the assassin team to Lamma Island and capture the Shadow Agency Chief."
Hasegawa Ichiro was taken aback and instinctively retorted, "Chief of Staff! The Shadow Agency Commander is a general. He hasn't committed any crime, so why should we arrest him?"
Ushijima Kaiji said bitterly, "I, the Chief of Staff, strongly suspect that Abe no Nakasora Shizuka is a member of the Shadow Agency. Even if she isn't, Lamma Island is no exception."
Hasegawa Ichiro nodded and said, "I will take the military police and assassins to Lamma Island immediately. If the Shadow Agency Chief questions us, I will say it was your decision."
Ushijima Kaiji was taken aback and scolded, "Who told you to say that? You are only bringing the military police to the island to explain the situation to the head of the Shadow Agency. You must not harass him excessively."
"My subordinate understands!"
Hasegawa Ichiro hurriedly bowed and accepted the order.
Lamma Island, Chu Lu basement.
Xiang Chu personally disguised Kong Jing, while Liu Zhengxiong, Gan Rong, and others watched.
Liu Zhengxiong asked with a laugh, "Kong Jing! You think you're a Japanese monk with hair?"
Kong Jing nodded and said, "The Japanese monks are just a bunch of frivolous monks. They grow their hair long, seek out women, and incite Japanese soldiers to bully us monks. They have done all sorts of bad things."
Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "If you didn't have hair, it would be really hard to disguise yourself. Come on! Let's see who you look like now."
After he finished speaking, he handed the mirror to Kong Jing.
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed, "Isn't this Li Tong? They look exactly alike!"
Kong Jing took the mirror and looked at herself, then laughed, "It really is!"
Xiang Chu took out an ID card and handed it to him, instructing him:
“Your name is now Dongxiang Li Tong, you must remember it.”
"Yes!"
Kong Jing hurriedly accepted the order.
At this moment, Xiao Liu ran down and reported:
"Chief! Kong Kong called from the dock to report that Regiment Commander Hase Ichiro led the Japanese military police to the dock by boat and is going to the island to search for the military police deserter Abe no Naka Sora Shizuka."
Xiang Chu said happily, "It seems that Isogai Rei has really become a big fool. Hasegawa Ichiro?! Could it be the person I know?"
Liu Zhengxiong said urgently, "Chief! No matter if they are people you know or not, we cannot let the Japanese soldiers come ashore to search and arrest us."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! We must let them onto the island, otherwise it will be difficult for me to clear my name. Gan Rong! You and Xiao Liu go to the dock immediately and accompany Hasegawa Ichiro to the island to search for them."
"understand!"
Gan Rong and Xiao Liu answered in unison and rushed out of the basement.
Liu Zhengxiong asked anxiously, "What if Kong Jing is recognized? Should we wipe out the Japanese soldiers who came to the island?"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! They definitely won't recognize you. Go back to your barracks immediately, get into bed and rest. After the emergency assembly whistle sounds, immediately assemble in the hall to receive the inspection."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong and the others accepted the order in unison and quickly returned to the barracks through the tunnel.
It was three in the morning, and all was quiet.
The lights on both sides of the main road on Chu Lu and Lamma Island were all turned on.
Xiang Chu, wearing a woolen overcoat, stood on the steps at the door.
Yu Xiaowan stood beside him, gazing down at the road leading to the dock, and said with concern:
"Brother Chu! This person doesn't seem to have any good intentions."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Xiaowan! Isogai Rei has already fallen for it, and his men will definitely not dare to act recklessly."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "This guy actually dared to make a move on me and Alai, you should just kill him."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Why kill such a villain when you can make him an idiot?"
Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Dead people are more reassuring. Chen Guo is a prime example. Those who target you will always target you, and it will never end!"
Xiang Chu didn't argue with her, and smiled:
"That seems to make some sense."
At this moment, Gan Rong and Xiao Liu accompanied Hasegawa Ichiro and others to approach Chu Lu Square.
Yu Xiaowan was overjoyed and whispered, "Brother Chu! It's an old friend of yours."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! It's Hasegawa Ichiro. Sound the assembly whistle."
"Hello!"
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly accepted the order.
The whistle for an emergency assembly sounded, and Liu Zhengxiong and others rushed to the square to line up.
Hasegawa Ichiro and others conducted an on-site inspection and checked each item one by one, but found no empty spaces.
Xiang Chu ordered, "Nobi-kun! Bring Hase-kun and the others in to search."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Hasegawa Ichiro instructed the Japanese military police around him: "I, the regimental commander, will go in and take a look. You all wait outside and do not make any noise."
"Hello!"
The Japanese military police hurriedly accepted the order.
Hasegawa Ichiro entered Chu Lu and said happily:
"My benefactor! Ichiro has finally met you."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "I really didn't expect you to be in Hong Kong too."
Hasegawa Ichiro said with a wry smile, "Ichiro just arrived a few days ago. The previous regimental commander was transferred to the Pacific theater."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Very good! Let's go! We'll talk as we patrol."
Hasegawa Ichiro shook his head and said, "No need to investigate! Isogai Reiji is now an idiot, and Ushijima Kaiji is afraid of you. He just sent me here to go through the motions."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Really? Xiaowan! Give Ichiro some money."
Hasegawa Ichiro said urgently, "My benefactor, there's no need! You've already given the Ichiro family too much assistance. I'll leave with my men right away. Please feel free to give me any instructions."
After saying this, he turned and ran out of Chu Lu, leaving with the Japanese military police.
