Chapter 824: Matsuzaki's Abnormality
Matsuzaki turned to talk to the doctor, then went to look at Saito's body.
After a while, he called Gao Shengping over and said sternly, "We can't let this case drag on any longer. Let's close it."
Lao Gao didn't expect him to say this. His throat felt a little dry. After coughing twice, he asked cautiously, "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, this case is closed..."
"The owner of that restaurant tried every means to get close to Saito and let Saito treat us in his restaurant. Isn't it obvious that he is the murderer?"
Gao Shengping was completely confused.
Since you've long wanted that guy to take the blame, why did you have to wait so long?
Although he was confused, Gao Shengping still obeyed the order obediently.
Matsuzaki left in a hurry again, and before leaving he made a gesture to Linze, meaning that they would meet at the restaurant in the evening.
Lao Gao also hurried downstairs, "Shengmin, see you later. I have to go back and announce the closure of the case, and then hand the murderer over to the headquarters for handling."
"Which murderer?"
Gao Shengping smiled helplessly, "It's Qi Tianrui."
Lin Ze didn't react immediately to who Qi Tianrui was. Gao Shengping added, "Saito Kota, remember, Saito's godson, his name is Qi Tianrui."
After Gao Shengping left, Lin Ze got in the car and told Niu Saner, "Let our people keep a close eye on the Front Army Headquarters and the Beiping Military Police Headquarters. If they find any movement, report it to me immediately. This matter is so weird. What on earth does this guy Matsuzaki want to do? He didn't tell me anything. After becoming a lieutenant general, he has become even more stern!"
This time the efficiency of the front headquarters was simply outrageous.
Saito died in the morning. At noon they announced to the public that the real culprit had been found in this case. They claimed that Saito had briefly woken up before his death and pointed out that the real culprit was Qi Tianrui, the young master of Qingfenglou.

drug store.
Mao Wanli was slowly preparing to put up the door panels. The days were short in winter and it was already getting dark, and it would be dark soon.
While I was busy, a middle-aged man came over from a distance, and walked up to me in two steps. "Boss, don't rush to close the door. Someone in my family has an emergency and needs medicine!"
Mao Wanli put the door panel aside and asked, "When did the emergency occur?"
"He fell ill at noon, and by the afternoon he was almost dying. I quickly looked for a prescription to see if I could save him."
Mao Wanli let him in, led him into the back room, and whispered, "Deming, is there any news?"
The two had agreed before that they would not meet unless it was confirmed that the rumor had passed. Even if there was a telegram from headquarters, Yin Deming could not come to see Mao Wanli.
Perhaps it was this caution that allowed Mao Wanli to remain hidden in Peiping.
"Stationmaster, the devils have announced that the case has been closed. The young master of Qingfenglou has become the unlucky one. He failed to curry favor with the devils, and was instead executed as a murderer!"
“Has the message been verified?”
"Stationmaster, this is a notice from the Japanese army headquarters. I went to see Pei Junshan again this afternoon. He has been watching Qingfeng Building. As expected, at noon today, a group of Japanese went to search Qingfeng Building again. It seems that they really let Qi take the blame for this case. Come to think of it, with so many senior officers dead, the pressure will be too great if they don't close the case."
Only then did Mao Wanli feel relieved.
"Any news from headquarters?"
Yin Deming was excited. "There is news! I received the news a few days ago, but I didn't dare to look for you. The headquarters commended the entire station and specially commended you. They will also award you a medal! Stationmaster, I congratulate you on your promotion. With this great achievement, you will definitely get the rank of major general!"
Mao Wanli smiled reservedly, "Deming, you still can't take it lightly. You have worked hard this time. I will report your contribution to the headquarters. By the way, there is also Pei Junshan. It seems that he is indeed a useful person. You can give him some money as a reward for him."
"Yes!"
After seeing Yin Deming off, Mao Wanli closed the door, walked to the back room, took out a bottle of wine and poured himself a cup.
He couldn't remember the last time he was rewarded by headquarters.
Finally I made it!

Food booth.
Lin Ze had dinner here in the evening, and after dinner he took a bath while waiting for Matsuzaki.
Although Xiao Jiang Dagui went to Tianjin, this place already has a fairly mature management system. Niu Saner also arranged for a number of people from the Assistance Bureau to stay here disguised as service personnel to ensure absolute safety.
After taking a bath, Lin Ze changed into loose clothes and watched the Sakura girl dance while smoking and eating melon seeds.
It was not until after nine o'clock that Matsuzaki hurried over.
Lin Ze couldn't help but wonder what his grandson was busy with lately. Why did he always seem to be in a hurry every time he saw him?
"Matsuzaki-kun, do you want to take a bath?"
Matsuzaki actually refused, "Lin Jun, let's not soak for now. I've been busy and haven't eaten yet. Let someone get something to eat."
After sending the Sakura girl away, Lin Ze asked someone to bring some food.
Everything is ready, and the waiter soon came to serve the dishes: a bowl of rice, a dried fish, a bowl of kelp and tofu soup, and a plate of fried beef.
It seems that Matsuzaki is really hungry, eating Ou Yi Xi and Wu Ant, and showing off his food.
After finishing a bowl of rice, he ordered another one. He was almost done eating. He drank tea and lit a cigarette. "Hey, Mr. Lin, it's better to relax here!"
Lin Ze hinted, "Although you have a lot of things to do, Matsuzaki-kun should also take care of your health and eat on time!"
Matsuzaki shook his head. "I know this. There have been too many things happening recently. A lieutenant colonel died in the General Staff, and even the headquarters has paid attention to it. In addition, General Okamura has been frequently dispatching information about the situation in the west. Alas, our spies in the west are still very weak. I can only transfer people from the Secret Service Department to Shanxi Province to strengthen the local counter-espionage force as soon as possible."
This statement contains a lot of information.
It was mentioned earlier that the headquarters was paying attention to the poisoning case of military officers, which is easy to understand, but why did this guy Okamura frequently dispatch information about the situation in the west?
And it’s not the Pingxi base. Matsuzaki said he had to transfer people to Shanxi Province. Could it be that Okamura has his eyes on Shanxi Province again?
Is this aimed at the red zone or the first war zone?
Lin Ze smoked calmly, "I didn't expect that Saito-kun would eventually pass away. It's really a pity. It's only right that the headquarters pays attention to this matter. A lieutenant colonel and several senior officers died. It's really a big deal. Fortunately, the murderer has been found and the case has been closed, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will happen."
Matsuzaki drank a sip of tea and shook his head, saying, "It's a pity for Saito, but this is just the beginning. His death must be valuable. Okay, Mr. Lin, you finally got out to relax. Let's not talk about these things."
Lin Ze called the waiter over and whispered a few words to him.
The Sakura girl who had just left reappeared on the stage, and when the little song from her hometown sounded, Matsuzaki was intoxicated again.
Lin Ze was constantly thinking in his mind, what did Matsuzaki mean when he said Saito's death was valuable?
