Chapter 179 Arson
Every word of their conversation reached Li Changfeng's ears as he ate at the restaurant.
I silently cursed him as shameless.
Then his eyes darted around, looking at Ken Inukai who had just entered the ship's dining room.
This guy seems to have just woken up and is still thinking about yesterday.
But Li Changfeng stopped him directly.
“Inukai-kun, I’ve discovered anti-Japanese elements on this ship.”
"I just saw someone go into the confidential room, trying to steal the calculation drawings."
"You should take some men and go over there quickly; you might just catch them red-handed..."
Li Changfeng leaned close to Inukai Ken's ear and whispered something.
Upon hearing this, Ken Inukai immediately shuddered.
"Yoshi, thanks for the reminder, Takeuchi-kun."
"I'll take someone there right away."
If the calculation drafts are stolen, then I would be derelict in my duty.
He followed Advisor Fujita onto the ship precisely to arrest anti-Japanese elements.
Now is the perfect opportunity to make a name for myself.
"Everyone assemble. Group one, seal off the cabin; Group two, follow me to the confidential room."
"Hurry up and drip..."
Kenjiro Inukai stopped eating and rushed out to summon dozens of Japanese spies, giving them orders.
The crew immediately drew their guns, sealed off the cabin, and rushed toward the confidential room.
At that moment, the door to the confidential room opened, and several Japanese military police officers had just delivered the calculation drawings.
Several members of the confidential office, dressed in suits, organized the blueprints, put them into bags, and sealed them.
Just then, Ouyang Yezi, a secret agent for the puppet government, walked in.
"Little Ben, give me the calculation diagram from earlier."
"I need to borrow it for a moment..."
Ouyang Yezi walked up to a young member of the confidential office and said in a low voice.
The mustachioed young man named Komoto Ichiro paused for a moment, then shook his head.
“Miss Noko, there are explicit regulations in the confidential office.”
"No one except Mr. Fujita and General Kagesa is authorized to access any of the documents."
"If you do this, you'll kill me..."
The young man with the mustache looked around and said in a flustered manner.
Because he and Ouyang Yezi were in a romantic relationship, and this woman had a soft voice.
The colleagues around them did not notice their conversation.
But I'm still afraid of being overheard.
"To tell you the truth, it was Shimizu-kun who sent me."
"This is General Kagesa's intention."
Do you want to disobey orders?
Seeing how cautious Komoto Ichiro was, Ouyang Yezi's expression immediately changed.
However, Ichiro Komoto did not give him a friendly look.
"Yezi, don't lie to me."
"How could General Matsumoto issue such a foolish order?"
"If it's true, give me your warrant and I'll register you right away."
"Otherwise, please leave immediately—"
Ichiro Komoto spoke very loudly, and several members of the confidential office immediately looked over.
Ouyang Yezi touched her forehead, almost going crazy with anger.
How could there be a warrant for something like this?
Shimizu-kun said that he could borrow Gu Xiaomeng's calculation drafts by relying on his relationship with Komoto Ichiro.
But this guy was clearly a blockhead; he actually insisted on registering himself.
Isn't this just making myself take the blame?
"Little Ben...you, you're very good."
"I won't lend it to you..."
Ouyang Yezi pointed at Komoto Ichiro and said, trembling all over.
In a different setting, she would definitely slap Ichiro Komoto.
With that, Ouyang Yezi turned to leave.
But then Kenjiro Inukai from the Mei Agency burst in with his men.
"Hands up, don't move."
"Miss Yezi, what are you doing here?"
Kenjiro Inukai did not find any suspicious persons, and then turned his attention to Ouyang Yezi, who should not have been there.
He asked with an unfriendly look in his eyes.
Ouyang Yezi glanced at Komoto Ichiro, unsure how to explain.
But then Ichiro Komoto stepped forward and raised his hand.
"Inukai-kun, I want to report you!"
"Miss Yezi wants to steal Miss Gu's set of calculation drawings."
"But I refused..."
"I suspect she is an anti-Japanese activist."
Komoto Ichiro said this in a very serious tone, his thought process quite peculiar.
Although Ouyang Yezi was also a cryptography expert, Komoto Ichiro was thinking about making a name for himself.
She was directly labeled as an anti-Japanese element.
"Yoshi, Ben-kun, you did a great job."
"I've heard that Miss Noko is your lover, and I've already seen your loyalty to the Empire."
"It seems Takeuchi-kun was right, there are anti-Japanese elements on this ship."
"Guards, seize Miss Yezi and take her to the interrogation room..."
Thinking of Li Changfeng's words, Kenji Inukai was now certain that Ouyang Yezi was an anti-Japanese element who wanted to steal the calculation blueprints.
He gave the orders directly to his subordinates.
"Hayi!"
Several Japanese spies rushed forward, tackled Ouyang Yezi to the ground, and tied her up.
They then quickly put a hood over their heads and took them to the interrogation room.
Ken Inukai stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite pleased with himself, and winked at the crowd.
The remaining Japanese spies put away their guns and followed him out of the confidential room.
........
"Shimizu-kun, Noko-san has been arrested."
"I heard it was Ichiro Komoto who personally reported it..."
Outside the ship's command room, Special Higher Police cipher officer Shota Saitama spoke with a grim expression.
Hearing this, Shimizu Tosan was furious.
"Idiot, you can't even handle this little thing."
"Fine, I'll go myself."
"Take your men to the interrogation room and release Miss Yezi."
"Tell Inukai-kun, this is a misunderstanding..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shimizu Tosan turned and rushed to the ship's confidential room.
Just as they arrived at the door, they saw that the confidential room was engulfed in flames.
Several members of the confidential office are putting out the fire.
"Shimizu-kun, the confidential office is on fire, and I'm still inside..."
"I am in a panic," said the head of the confidential section, Kitajima, who was carrying a bucket of water.
He poured a bucket of water directly at the entrance of the confidential office.
However, the entire confidential room was engulfed in flames and billowing thick smoke.
"Baka! What on earth happened?"
"How could the confidential room catch fire? What were you doing?"
"A bunch of idiots..."
"Notify the military police, put out the fire immediately..."
Mei's assistant, Shimizu Tomo, glared at the busy group of people and cursed them.
He immediately rushed out and shouted to the patrolling personnel in the stairwell.
A short while later, the military police brought the fire hydrant to the door of the confidential room.
It took more than an hour of effort to extinguish the fire.
Besides the confidential room, two other rooms next to it were also destroyed by the fire.
With the help of the sea breeze, it was burned to ashes.
The confidential staff member named Komoto Ichiro perished in the fire, his body burned beyond recognition.
Upon receiving this news, the Japanese general Kagesa Yoshiaki was completely stunned.
He slammed his fist on the table and shouted at Fujita Yoshimasa across from him:
"Fujita, summon Shimizu-kun and Inukai-kun. I need to question them."
"Notify all members of the confidential office to assemble on the deck."
"This was no accident; it must have been arson..."
Upon hearing the news, the Japanese advisor Fujita immediately turned around and went to gather everyone.
The Japanese general, Kageyama Yoshiaki, trembled with rage.
