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

Chapter 1056 Big Brother, Please Go First

I had just finished lunch when Gao Shengping suddenly arrived.

Lin Ze was a little surprised. Old Gao seemed to be a rough man, but he was actually very sensible. Generally speaking, if he wanted to come to the Lin residence, he would definitely call ahead. Such a sudden visit must mean that there was something urgent.

Niu San'er was instructed to invite Gao Shengping to the flower hall, and Lin Ze arrived shortly afterward.

Upon meeting him, Lin Ze knew that Lao Gao had something on his mind. He saw Lao Gao sitting in a rosewood official's hat chair, constantly looking around and occasionally frowning.

"Director, what brings you here today?"

When Gao Shengping saw Lin Ze arrive, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and, without bothering with pleasantries, asked, "Shengmin, are you familiar with Huagu Zheng?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze wondered how Hua Guzheng could be involved.

"I can't say whether we're familiar or not, Director. As you know, I came from the Beiping Military Police Headquarters, so I have to avoid suspicion in many things. Besides, this Hua Guzheng comes from a family of spies and is very arrogant, so our contact is limited."

Gao Shengping sighed, "I came to find you because Flower Valley doesn't usually have much contact with the outside world..."

Lin Ze gestured for him to have some tea. "Director, have some tea and a cigarette. Don't rush, let's talk slowly."

Gao Shengping didn't drink the tea, but lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "Shengmin, you're busy in Tianjin, and there are things in Beiping that you might not be able to attend to. These past few months, everyone has seen the Gendarmerie Headquarters make a fool of itself. I don't know if this Hua Gu is from a family of spies, but he's definitely a master at making trouble for people. He not only makes trouble for us, but also for his own people. I heard that several section chiefs couldn't stand being treated so badly by him and were planning to transfer to the Special Service Department!"

Lin Ze thought to himself, "I know that all too well. I was the one who came up with this idea!"

Hanaya Tadashi is quite something; he executed the plan quite efficiently, quickly incurring the wrath of both heaven and man.

"Director, did he cause you trouble too?"

Gao Shengping took another deep drag on his cigarette, then stubbed it out and said, “Shengmin, starting last month, Huagu ordered all department heads, the Beijing Police Department, and the Detective Team to arrest a batch of rebels every month. But you know how hard it is to catch so many rebels? We’ve sent all the petty thugs and hooligans on the streets to jail, but the Military Police Headquarters can’t do it. They don’t know anything about the streets, so they can’t catch any petty thugs or hooligans. We can only desperately expand our search channels.”

Lin Ze remained silent, waiting for Gao Shengping to continue.

"Yesterday, they raided a fur depot. You know, with the weather getting colder, large quantities of furs from outside the Great Wall are entering Beiping, and merchants are coming along. Fur depots are places with a lot of population movement. This raid turned out to be quite serious; they found several guns, so they arrested people. Among those arrested were..."

"Director, now that things have come to this, don't hesitate any longer. Speak up, are the people inside related to you?"

Gao Shengping remained silent for a long while, then said, "Shengmin, you saved my life, more than once. I can't hide it from you. The manager of this fur shop should have connections in the west. I've met with him twice, but we didn't discuss anything important. I just facilitated his travel in and out of Beiping. I'm worried..."

"Are you worried that the shopkeeper of this fur warehouse will betray you, and that Hua Gu, eager to make a name for himself, might use you as an example to get rid of you?"

"That's exactly what I mean, Shengmin. I'm going to cause you trouble again..."

Goodness, this old Gao is starting to think about his own way out!

This would be a real problem for Lao Gao, but for Lin Ze, it's just a matter of making a phone call.

"Director, this is not a good matter. As I just said, Hanaya Masashi is too solitary and doesn't get along with anyone, especially Kitahara Ransuke... And you know about my relationship with Kitahara. If I speak up rashly, not only might I not be able to get him out, but I might also make Hanaya Masashi pay more attention to this matter. So, I will do my best to help, and you can let me think of another way."

Gao Shengping pleaded, "Shengmin, I'm counting on you. I was careless this time, please be extra careful!"

Lin Ze comforted him, "Don't worry, we'll always find a way. Go back first, and I'll call you when I get any news."

Lin Ze wasn't trying to take advantage of Gao Shengping's kindness, which is why he was keeping her waiting.

Given his relationship with Lao Gao, he could help him out, but Lao Gao had to be taught a lesson. For a police chief in the capital to directly contact someone suspected to be from the west was a very careless thing to do.

If Lao Gao thinks that Lin Ze can easily resolve this matter, then who knows what other trouble might arise in the future.

Gao Shengping left with a worried look on his face, and Lin Ze called Hua Guzheng.

"Hey, Hanaya-kun, it's me, Lin Ze. I've arrived in Beiping. Want to grab a drink?"

On the other end of the phone, Hua Gu was probably busy. "Mr. Lin! I really want to have a drink with you. How about tomorrow? To be honest, I've arrested some people, and a few of them might be of some value. I plan to conduct a surprise interrogation today."

"Hanatani-kun, not only me, but General Okamura's son has also come to Beiping. If it's convenient, I'll bring him along..."

"Convenient! Convenient! How about tonight? I'll arrange the place."

"Okamura Tadamasa's identity is special, and it's not convenient for him to do it outside. How about we set up a table at the Military Police Headquarters?"

"No problem, I'll follow your orders. I'll be waiting for you and Mr. Okamura Tadamasa at headquarters!"

In the evening, Lin Ze led Okamura Tadamasa to a banquet.

On the way, he also instructed Okamura Tadamasa, "Tadamasa, put on a good show, understand? This Hanaya Tadamasa also comes from a prestigious family. These kinds of people are the most likely to bully the weak and fear the strong. The more arrogant you are, the more he will admire you. Also, you have to subtly remind him that you have a good relationship with Ko Shing-ping of the Kyoto Police Department."

"Big brother, Gao Shengping?"

"Chief of the Capital Police Department, think about it, you have a good relationship with the Capital Police Department, wouldn't the Military Police Command feel threatened?"

Okamura Tadamasa didn't quite understand the intricacies of the situation, but he didn't ask too many questions. Asking too many questions would make him seem stupid. Anyway, his older brother wouldn't harm him, so he just had to do as he was told.

The car arrived at the military police headquarters, where Hanaya was waiting in the courtyard.

When the car stopped, Hanaya Masashi opened the car door himself. He thought that Okamura Tadamasa would get out first, but he was dumbfounded to find that Hayashi Sawa was sitting in the main seat.

At that moment, Tadashi Okamura got out of the car from the other side and walked around.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Tadamasa Okamura, welcome! Mr. Okamura, please come upstairs!"

Okamura Tadamasa glanced at Hanaya Tadamasa indifferently, didn't say anything, stepped aside and said to Lin Ze, "Brother, please go first."
