Chapter 288 Roundup
Lan Zehui breathed a sigh of relief, while Dao Yan's clenched fist tightened even more. However, the slight relaxation of her brows showed that Dao Yan had indeed relaxed a little. But Dao Yan also realized that since the doctor said this was good news, then the bad news...
"What's the bad news? *burp*"

It was Dao Ya who asked the question; she always managed to get to the point.

If Ding Moqun hadn't been holding her back, she would have rushed into the elevator long ago; she couldn't have been as restrained as Dao Yan.

Furthermore, Dao Ya still can't figure out what her brother-in-law is up to, choosing to die together with her, yet later saving Aizawa Keiko.

Could it be that my brother-in-law has really fallen for Aizawa Keiko?

"The bad news is that his breathing is weak and he could die at any moment."

"Baka! Doctor! Where's the doctor? These two quacks, drag them both out and execute them!"

Upon hearing this, Aizawa Keiko went into a frenzy, and while speaking, she was about to draw her gun and kill the two quack doctors on the spot.

"The doctor is here!"

Suddenly someone shouted from the lobby, and Aizawa Keiko and the others all turned their heads to look in that direction.

Sure enough, the nurses and doctors pushing the stretcher rushed toward the elevator.

Seeing the doctor arrive, Dao Yan gave Ding Moqun a cold look. She hadn't forgotten that it was Ding Moqun who had asked the two doctors in the elevator to go in and move Zhao Xuan's body!
Inside the Cathay Hotel, as the doctors who arrived later disposed of the remaining bodies and remains in the elevator, Marus, who was standing not far away watching all of this, felt his hair stand on end and was still filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, Tojo Jun didn't invite him down for breakfast this morning, otherwise there would definitely have been one more corpse in the elevator.

However, Marus was also feeling uneasy. As a successful arms dealer and a member of the German military, Marus was filled with anxiety.

Marus thought the two explosions in the elevator sounded familiar.

Now, Marus just wanted to get back to his room as quickly as possible to check if any of the weapons he had hidden in the Cathay Hotel were missing.
If the Special Higher Police's technical division arrives later and investigates, it will be too late.

Although Japan is now trying its best to forge an alliance between the two sides, the fact that a prince was so cruelly killed in the bombing makes Marus feel that if the explosives were really the batch he brought in, he would never be able to walk out of the Cathay Hotel standing up.

The Cathay Hotel is now jointly managed by Iwai Ogawa and Kishimoto Osamu.

As Zhao Xuan was being carried onto the stretcher, Aizawa Keiko directly threatened Iwai Hisakawa, saying that Kishimoto Osamu would represent her in full force from now on.

Although he gained considerable power, Osamu Kishimoto also faced immense pressure.

With that one explosion, Tojo Jun, whom Aizawa Keiko regarded as a father and brother, died, and Zhao Xuan, whom she loved dearly, was left in an uncertain fate.

If Kishimoto Osamu doesn't get a satisfactory result when Aizawa Keiko returns, he knows without a doubt that he will face Aizawa Keiko's wrath!

As for Dao Yan and Dao Ya, they naturally went to Gongji Hospital with the ambulance.

Sato Ai was sent back to the military police headquarters by someone sent by Sakata Jiro.

The Chinachem Hotel is now on high alert. All guests are being investigated, and their rooms are being searched again. This time, the technical department will also be involved in the searches.

Because of Zhao Xuan, Ding Moqun was also directly assigned to Kishimoto Osamu's subordinates by Lan Zehuizi.

Ding Moqun naturally dared not say a word in response. After all, Kishimoto Osamu was acting on behalf of Aizawa Keiko, and under these circumstances, it was clear that Aizawa Keiko was going all out. No matter how many connections or costs were involved, the control of the Huamao Hotel must be firmly held in the hands of the Special Higher Police.

When Iwai Ogawa returned after making the call, he was furious but dared not speak out. He was already in a precarious situation, and if he offended Aizawa Keiko again, Iwai Ogawa worried that Aizawa Keiko's family would spare no effort to kill him.

In the storage room where Bobby was being held, after seeing the two military police officers dead, Kishimoto Osamu glared fiercely at Iwai Ogawa, who had followed him:

"Baka! Iwai Hisakawa, is this what you meant by 'absolutely foolproof'?"

Iwai Hisakawa clenched his fists and took several deep breaths before speaking:

"It's been investigated and found out. Four agents from the Americans and Russia took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack here and took Bobby away."

Sakata Jiro, standing beside Kishimoto Osamu, glared angrily at Iwai Ogawa:

“My military police are all under your orders. Now that two imperial warriors have been killed, my military police headquarters will absolutely not let this go.”

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down; Iwai Hisakawa lowered his head.

Foreign Ministry Minister Sakata Yamato was also extremely embarrassed at this point. After all, the Foreign Ministry had fully supported Iwai Hisakawa, but such a terrible incident had occurred. This time, the Foreign Ministry was likely to undergo a major upheaval.

Ding Moqun squinted and circled the storage room. After stopping, he looked at Kishimoto Osamu:

“Kishimoto-kun, there are no obvious signs of struggle in the room, so we can conclude that Bobby went with the people who attacked this place willingly.”

"If I'm not mistaken, that explosion was probably a deliberate attempt to distract us; their real goal was to take Bobby away."

At this point, Ding Moqun looked at Iwai Ogawa again:
"Iwai-kun, there's no need to hide it now. Did you get your hands on the oil exploration report that Bobby had?"

Iwai Ogawa sighed softly, and before he could answer, Sakata Yamato stepped forward and said:
"Kishimoto-kun, Director Ding, Iwai Ogawa did indeed obtain that document."

"When we were treating Bobby's injuries, we used anesthesia and switched the film on him while he was unconscious. At the time, Iwai Ogawa mainly planned to use Bobby for fishing."

"enough!!"

Iwai Ogawa glared at Sakata Yamato. That old bastard was kicking him while he was down; he was trying to ruin him.

After all, according to Ding Moqun's analysis, those foreign agents planted the bombs to divert attention and then take Bobby away in the chaos.

So, wouldn't he really be the culprit?
In fact, Ding Moqun knew in his heart that there was something strange about this matter.

Several British agents had been killed or captured, and the weapons cache they had set up so far in advance had been raided. Previous searches had not found any weapons.

So, where did the American and Russian agents get their hands on the explosives?

Moreover, the elevator shaft and ventilation ducts have just been re-inspected.

Given Iwai's prior arrangements and the tight surveillance, it would have been impossible for someone to secretly install explosives in the elevator shaft on the first floor unless they reached the first floor through the ventilation duct.

Unless, those four foreign agents had planted the explosives long ago.

But that's impossible.

Because the elevator is blocked, only Tojo Jun or people authorized by Tojo Jun are allowed to ride it; no one else can enter.

In this situation, the elevator shaft naturally needs to be thoroughly inspected inside and out.

Ding Moqun participated in the entire inspection process at that time, and there were absolutely no explosives in the elevator shaft.

Therefore, the explosives must have been planted within the last two days. The actions of the four men also serve as corroborating evidence.

But this deduction is based on the premise that the explosives came from and how they were installed.
In any case, Ding Moqun racked his brains but couldn't come up with any solution.

Even so, Ding Moqun still felt that the entire reasoning process was too simple, so simple that anyone could have figured it out if they investigated carefully.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the four agents acted hastily and did not do a good job of cleaning up.

Kishimoto Osamu gave Iwai Hisakawa a cold look. Right now, all he wanted to do was find out who the culprit was. Otherwise, if Aizawa Keiko came back, he would be in big trouble.

"Send people to protect this place. Don't touch anything. We'll talk about it when the technical department arrives."

As soon as Kishimoto finished speaking, Uchiyama Mizuki arrived with the intelligence department of the Military Police Headquarters.

In fact, as early as when the explosion occurred, Mizuki Uchiyama and her entourage were already staying in a house not far from the Cathay Hotel.

When she heard the explosion, Mizuki Uchiyama remained calm and only came over with her people after finding out what happened.

Mizuki Uchiyama is still feeling fortunate. If she had followed her father and the commander's advice and brought her men to claim this piece of the pie early on, she would have ended up in the same quagmire as the Iwai Mansion, the 76th Division, and the Special Higher Police.

Mizuki Uchiyama will always remember what her brother told her: to be careful in everything she does.

Mizuki Uchiyama died in the Dragon Kingdom because she felt that her brother had forgotten what he had said.

In response, Mizuki Uchiyama gained a deeper understanding of the importance of this statement.

As soon as she brought her people over, Mizuki Uchiyama observed the people present.

Military Police Headquarters, No. 76, Iwai Mansion, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Special Higher Police.

The original mechanism is missing!
It seems that Tu Feiyuan is just as cautious as I am, or perhaps Tu Feiyuan never intended to come and get a piece of this pie?

Mitsuki Uchiyama nodded slightly towards Kishimotoji:
"Kishimoto-kun, Mizuki Uchiyama, head of the Intelligence Section of the Military Police Headquarters Intelligence Division, has been ordered to assist in the investigation."

Kishimoto Osamu didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with them. He instructed Uchiyama Mizuki to send people to participate in the surprise interrogation, and then led everyone towards the main hall.

This is the French Concession. Even though Tojo Jun was killed, the governor did not allow the Japanese military police to search for him throughout the French Concession.

So now they can only wait for the police to finish their search and for the technical department to arrive so they can thoroughly investigate the Hua Mao Hotel and see if there are any other clues.

Before long, Yua Murakami from the Special Higher Police Technical Division arrived with tools and manpower. Osamu Kishimoto wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly told Yua Murakami to lead the team to get to work.

On the other side, on Avenue Joffre in the French Concession, Jenny and her three companions, who were planning to seek help from the embassy and then find a way to retrieve their belongings from Citibank, had just arrived at what they thought was a safe place when they were blocked from both sides by two groups of people.

"Gentlemen, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

The person speaking was Nan Ting from the original organization, and it was naturally Nan Ting who led the people to block their way.

As for the rear, it was Michiko Sakai who led the defense.

The instant the explosion occurred, Michiko Sakai called Doiyuu to ask for his opinion.

Doi-man directly ordered that no one was allowed to enter the Chinachem Hotel, but that everyone leaving the hotel be closely monitored. If their actions were suspicious, they should be followed immediately and arrested when the opportunity arose.

Since they weren't going into the Hua Mao Hotel, Nan Ting and the others naturally wouldn't investigate what exactly happened inside.

It was during Uchiyama Mizuki's investigation of this matter that Sakai Michiko and Nan Ting discovered that the whereabouts of these people were suspicious. So they led their team to surround and encircle them, and finally blocked Jenny and her group's way here.

"Don't be impulsive. Put down your weapons and come with us. Otherwise, I won't mind taking five corpses back with me."

Seeing that the agents in front and behind them were already armed and pointing their guns at them, Jenny and her three companions knew that the battle would be over in one round in this open location.

Bobby naturally didn't want to die. He knew that these people had captured him because of the oil exploration report, and now he didn't want that damned thing anymore.

Of course, if he goes back with them this time, he'd be willing to sell it for a price that Bobby could get. He should at least make a little extra for his hard work.

"I surrender. I have no weapons. I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Tors grabbed Bobby and pulled him in front of him, pressing his gun against Bobby's temple.

"Put down your guns, or I'll kill him. You're here because of what Bobby has, right? If you let us go, I'll release Bobby once we're in a safe place."

Nan Ting raised an eyebrow slightly and said in an icy tone:
"Count to three. If they do not put down their guns after the three counts, kill them on the spot."

"three"

Michiko Sakai opened her mouth, wanting to stop Nan Ting, but then she thought that Nan Ting was simply an oddball. Even if Tobi gave the order, she wouldn't carry it out if she was in a bad mood.

If she tried to stop Nan Ting, Michiko felt that once Nan Ting counted to three, she would immediately start counting to one next.

"two"

Bobby was sweating profusely with anxiety, and the wound in his abdomen was throbbing with excruciating pain. He quickly shouted:
"Stop! Stop! I have an oil exploration report on me. I'm willing to hand it over if you can save me."

This statement completely stunned Jenny and the other three.

"Fuck! The oil exploration report was on you! Why did you lie to us, you damned old man!"

Even Jenny couldn't help but curse out loud, and for a second, Sofia really wanted to shoot Bobby dead.

Given the current situation, they dare not lay down their guns easily, nor do they dare to be captured by these Japanese.

When the explosion occurred at the Chinachem Hotel, they acted swiftly amidst the chaos, but they still didn't know who was killed in the explosion.

But if it were Tojo Jun who was killed in the bombing, things would be much more complicated. If they were captured by these Japanese, they would have no chance of survival.

So, you can't gamble!

However, if she didn't put down her gun, and given Nan Ting's cold eyes and the murderous aura emanating from her body, Sophia knew that once Nan Ting finished counting, she wouldn't delay firing for even a second.

"Wait, Nan Ting! That's what the head of the organization wants too."

Nan Ting stopped counting, but Jenny and the other three's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and cold sweat was dripping from their foreheads.

If Michiko Sakai hadn't spoken up, they would all be in a hornet's nest by now.
