Chapter 86 Who is suitable to frame someone?
Tanaka Miku is petite and delicate, with fair skin and a fragile air about her. She has long, smooth, black hair, which she usually ties back neatly, revealing her delicate oval face.
Beneath her arched willow-leaf eyebrows, her eyes were moist and bright, but at this moment, due to tension and feigned illness, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
Beneath her high, straight nose, her lips were slightly pale, making her look pitiful.
She was dressed in a plain-colored Japanese military uniform, the collar slightly open, revealing her slender neck, which undulated slightly, revealing her inner turmoil.
The owner of this body was Tanaka Miku, a telegraph operator in the Special Higher Police Telecommunications Section. The real person had already been dealt with by Yan Shuo. Now, the body inside is an undercover agent codenamed "Yingyu" Liu Yan.
The head of the telecommunications section, Kaoru Kobayashi, is quite interested in the body of "Miku Tanaka" and often takes the opportunity to harass her. The ambiguity between them is self-evident.
Around 2 PM, the Special Higher Police suddenly sealed off the area, allowing entry but not exit.
Yan Shuo, on the other hand, had already infiltrated the prison by using the identity of Kobayashi Kichiemon, a corporal under Major Okamura Jiro of the Prison Administration Division.
He approached Kobayashi Kaoru as an informant, handed him a trivial report about a military police prison, and naturally received a reward of 20 yen.
Yan Shuo discovered Kobayashi Kichiemon's identity by chance.
This soldier frequently visited the Special Higher Police Department. Yan Shuo followed him twice and found it interesting, so he took over the job.
Normally, a stand-in doll is arranged to take over the shift, but today there was a reason why I had to step in myself.
Kobayashi Kichiemon happily left after receiving the money, and happened to run into Tanaka Miku in the toilet corridor.
The two first pretended to be familiar with each other and exchanged pleasantries.
"Hello, Ms. Tanaka! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Kobayashi Kichiemon bowed deeply, then looked up with a face full of sincere praise, "You look beautiful today!"
"Ah, hi, hello, Kobayashi-kun!" Tanaka Miku quickly returned the greeting with a gentle smile on her face.
"We haven't seen each other for days, you've become even more beautiful!"
Hi, thank you!
As they talked, they walked towards the corridor door. After turning the corner, Kobayashi Kichiemon quickly glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on? How are you sure you'll be exposed?"
"Huh? Who are you?" Tanaka Mihisa's eyes were full of doubt.
Kobayashi Kichiemon made his signature hand gesture, and Tanaka Miku immediately recognized it, exclaiming, "Captain?"
"Okay, go ahead and say it!"
Tanaka Miku finally lowered her guard and said urgently, "It's like this, around 10:10, I received a telegram from the Yamashiro Military Intelligence Bureau. It said that a man named Shen Qing was coming to meet you with secret orders, and it also included a code. It was a report from the Special Higher Police's infiltrator group, the 'Viper Group.' I had too many people around me to intercept it, so I had to hand it over. Afterwards, I used a telegraph pen to send a message to you while I was in the restroom. Only a few hours have passed, and Kobayashi Kaoru has already met with two or three people. The codebook is in my hands. If it's leaked, I'll definitely be among the first to be screened."
"Oh, is that so? That's alright then, I thought you'd already given yourself away!" Kobayashi Kichiemon breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Of those people who went into Kobayashi Kaoru's office, who do you think is the most suitable to frame him?"
"Kazuo Yamashita, Shonan Kawaguchi, Yuta Fujii, Ryoichi Matsumoto, Kenjiro Kimura, Mina Shimizu, Ayako Sato, Haruko Watanabe."
Tanaka Miku recited the names one by one, then added, "Yamashita Kazuo, Matsumoto Ryoichi, and Kimura Kenjiro are all good friends of mine. They're not very bright and tell me everything, so it's inconvenient for them to act on my behalf. You should choose Kawaguchi Masanao and Fujii Yuta. Those two are annoying people, always paranoid and constantly harassing me. Especially Fujii Yuta, he's the worst. He even killed two of our comrades in the interrogation room!"
"Aren't there three other women?" Yan Shuo pressed.
"Oh, you want to do it all at once? Who will you frame next time?" Tanaka Miku rolled her eyes speechlessly, her eyes still darting nervously left and right.
"Don't look around. It's just the two of us within 20 meters," Kobayashi Kichiemon said in a deep voice. "Show me what these two look like and where their dorm is."
"Come with me." Tanaka Miku pulled him closer to the window, pointing in a low voice, "Look, that lieutenant with the mustache and no hat is Fujii Yuta; that short second lieutenant with the coffee cup is Kawaguchi Masanari. Kawaguchi's a real womanizer, always flirting with girls and getting handsy. That's the dormitory building over there. The room with the small table by the door on the first floor is Kawaguchi Masanari's single room; room 209 on the second floor is Fujii Yuta's room, but he also rents a place outside and keeps a Japanese geisha named Watanabe Nanako. I suspect he has other income. How does a country bumpkin like him, working in the lowly telecommunications department, get money to support a woman? There's definitely something fishy going on."
"Okay." Kobayashi Kichiemon took a lipstick out of his pocket and handed it to him. "Take this. Use it if necessary. Remember, use a small amount. Apply it to your lips and lick a little at a time. You will experience symptoms similar to a heart attack, such as rapid breathing and mild fainting. If it really doesn't work, just pretend to faint from fright."
"Playing young? That's my specialty! Thank you, Captain!" Tanaka Miku's eyes lit up as she happily took the gift and quickly stuffed it into her pocket.
This lipstick contains Yan Shuo's specially made "Mixed Breath Powder". After taking it, one will experience heavy and rapid breathing, as if suddenly seriously ill, accompanied by a slight fainting. The appearance is realistic but does not harm the mind, and the consciousness remains fully clear.
After the handover was completed, Kobayashi Kichiemon went to the cafeteria without making a sound.
Since we can't go out, getting a free meal is naturally the most reasonable option.
Shortly after they sat down, a piercing crackling sound of electricity emanated from the Special Higher Police's loudspeakers, followed by the cold command of Section Chief Colonel Yuichi Sato: "All personnel of the Telecommunications Section, assemble immediately in the lobby on the first floor! Unauthorized personnel, remain where you are and are strictly prohibited from moving!"
As soon as the command was given, the entire building fell into a deathly silence, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and suppressed whispers.
Tanaka Miku huddled at the back of the crowd, quietly touching the lipstick in her pocket. Her fingertips trembled slightly, but excitement shone in her eyes.
She glanced at Kawaguchi Masanao and Fujii Yuta, who were not far away. The former was tugging at his collar in frustration, while the latter was looking around with a gloomy face. They had both clearly sensed that something was wrong.
In the lobby on the first floor, Kobayashi Kaoru stood at the front of the stage, with two Special Higher Police agents carrying military swords behind him. The atmosphere was heavy.
Kaoru Kobayashi was tall and straight, his crisp major uniform neat and dignified, with the gold embellishments on his epaulets particularly eye-catching.
His face was thin, his expression as gloomy as the clouds before a storm, his thick eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown, and a cold rage burning in his deep eyes. His sharp gaze swept across the crowd like a hawk's, and his thin lips beneath his high nose were pressed into a cold, straight line.
"Gentlemen," Kobayashi Kaoru's voice carried a deliberately suppressed anger, "the coded telegrams we received this morning are at risk of being leaked. To prove our innocence, we must verify them one by one today! Now, divide into groups and undergo searches—dormitories, offices, no place is to be missed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several Special Higher Police spies split into groups, dispersed the crowd, and divided up the search area.
Kawaguchi Masanao and Fujii Yuta happened to be assigned to the same group. They looked at each other and saw panic in each other's eyes.
Kawaguchi subconsciously touched his pocket, muttering "What bad luck," completely unaware of the cold smile that appeared on Kobayashi Kichiemon's lips behind him.
