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

Chapter 671 Bring People In

While waiting for the Englishman's reply, the hospital suddenly reported that Naoto Matsuzaki had woken up.

Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh, what a pity!

But then I thought, it’s not a bad thing that Matsuzaki is not dead.

The time is not ripe yet. Even if he died, it would be difficult for Kitahara to take the position directly. After all, the hurdle between colonel and major general is harder to cross than climbing to the sky.

Matsuzaki has some background and extensive connections, and he also did a lot of dirty work for Terauchi Juichi and the idiot Yuan. This kind of trust cannot be established in a day or two, and qualifications cannot be gained in a day or two.

If Matsuzaki died now, Okamura would probably transfer someone from his own faction without hesitation to take over as the Minister of Secret Service, and then he would be in a passive position.

Lin Ze rushed to the hospital and met Matsuzaki in the ward.

I don't know whether this guy is lucky or unlucky. You might say he is unlucky. If the bullet was one centimeter away, it would have gone through his head.

You could say he was lucky, but this guy fell headfirst when he got out of the car. As the cab of the truck was quite high, his head hit the ground, so he was knocked unconscious. Now that he has woken up, he still looks rather dull, and I don't know if his IQ has been affected.

Lin Ze entered the ward, his eyes full of concern, and he called out affectionately, "Mr. Matsuzaki!"

Matsuzaki's head is now fixed, he cannot move. If he moves, he will feel dizzy and want to vomit, and his ears will hurt.

He tried hard to look around, and when he saw Lin Ze coming, Matsuzaki couldn't help but feel his eyes moisten, "Lin-san!"

"Matsuzaki-kun, how do you feel?"

Matsuzaki sighed and said dazedly, "At that time, I should have checked the commanding heights."

Lin Ze consoled him, "As the saying goes, even the wisest man can make mistakes. Who could have thought that in such a dark night, when the English had already finalized the transfer, someone would still do something shady?"

Matsuzaki asked, "How's that batch of stuff?"

Lin Ze's face darkened. "We were fooled. When you were assassinated, I felt something was wrong. I immediately got in the car and opened the box. It turned out to be full of rocks! Fortunately, we hadn't left the concession at that time, and there were so many witnesses at the scene. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to explain ourselves if we really returned to the Japanese concession!"

Hearing this, Matsuzaki couldn't help but want to raise his head, but then he felt dizzy and his ears were burning with pain.

"Mr. Matsuzaki, don't worry. Lieutenant General Okamura has already intervened in this matter. We have surrounded the concession. The English must pay the price!"

"English?"

Matsuzaki thought of what Claude said at the end. Could it be this guy?

It was unknown whether the dizziness hindered or helped his thinking, but he suddenly widened his eyes and asked hurriedly, "What was his condition when you reported to Lieutenant General Okamura?"

Lin Ze didn't know what Matsuzaki meant. "I have to say, Lieutenant General Okamura is really shrewd. He didn't panic at all and issued various orders very quickly."

Matsuzaki's expression changed drastically. After hesitating for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Lin-san, do you think it could be Okamura..."

what?

No, you are too suspicious!

"Matsuzaki-kun, no way..."

"Mr. Lin, you analyze this. No one knew about receiving this batch of stuff. The route was chosen and the time was set. How could we be ambushed? So the person who shot me must have been instructed by someone who knew the truth. The person who knew the truth must be an Englishman or..."

"what do you mean?"

"If it's Okamura... If it's him, then it makes sense. A sniper with such good marksmanship wouldn't be easy to find, right? But he's the commander of the 11th Army, with more than 100,000 people under his command. Isn't it easy to find a sharpshooter? Mr. Lin, I'm the chief of secret services, but I'm the chief of secret services chosen by General Terauchi and General Sugiyama. If I'm killed, he'll have a chance to attack the concession and gain greater benefits. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"What about the gold and silver dollars? It's impossible that he did this. We saw those boxes being taken out of the vault."

Matsuzaki said with absolute certainty, "This is the work of the English. The two things happened at the same time!"

Damn it, if the gold and silver dollars weren’t in my space, I would have believed it!

Matsuzaki was very serious. "Mr. Lin, there is a saying in China that a new emperor appoints new ministers. We have to be careful. We have to say hello to Kitahara when we go back. As long as our spy system cooperates sincerely and takes the initiative to stick together, no one can easily shake us, including..."

Lin Ze suddenly had an idea, "Mr. Matsuzaki, do you want to use some technical means?"

Matsuzaki's eyes rolled around, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

It was a bit crazy to spy on a future front commander.

But no matter how crazy it is, it seems that it can be achieved technically!

"Let me think about it again, Mr. Lin. If there is any news from the concession, you must inform me immediately. I must not be left out. Between you and me, we will prosper together and suffer together!"

Lin Ze thought to himself that that was not necessarily the case. Based on his observation of Okamura, this old man was a very thoughtful person. Even if Matsuzaki lost power, he would still use himself to balance Kitahara Ransuke.

Matsuzaki is too short-sighted. He is only concerned with consolidating his own power, but he doesn't realize that the spy system cannot be too united. If you are all united, what about your superiors?

Or maybe you haven’t read enough history!

After leaving the hospital, Lin Ze rushed back to the headquarters and waited quietly for news from the English.

How on earth will they handle this?

Municipal Council.

A dozen of the most powerful people in the entire concession have all arrived.

Not only directors, but also big businessmen who controlled the trade, and even Dominic, an American, was among them.

This does make sense. The English Concession was formed by the merger of the American Concession. As the representative of American interests, Dominica must of course participate in the crane industry.

"Consul Claude, my men salvaged four bodies from the harbor. Do you want an explanation?"

Dominic said coldly.

Claude responded sharply: "Dominic, who do you want to explain to? How many bodies are fished out of the Haihe River and the port every year? Who do you want to explain to? You are afraid of the Japanese, so you want to find someone to take the responsibility. The assassination of Naoto Matsuzaki was clearly done by the Chinese who opposed them! Why put the blame on us!"

Dominic sneered and said to the outside, "Bring the person in!"

Then the door opened, and two people wearing American Chamber of Commerce staff uniforms walked in, grabbing a man with long curly hair.

Claude's expression changed immediately.

Dominic said angrily, "Can you kill everyone to silence them? This is the captain who was responsible for dealing with those assassins. What else do you have to say? Claude! Do you want to kill everyone? Do you know how much we lose for every day our dock is blocked, and how much our land prices will drop for every day our concession is blocked!"
