Chapter 851: Take it Slowly, Don’t Leave Any Loopholes
As soon as the meeting ended, General Okamura walked out first. After he left, Kitahara and a group of people also left.
In the past, the officers in the headquarters would not have missed this good opportunity to greet Lieutenant General Matsuzaki, but today, no one paid any attention to him. People either walked out in silence or chatted in groups of three or four.
Lin Ze also stood up. Song Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore and chased after him and said, "Mr. Lin, even you..."
Lin Ze looked around, pulled Song Qi aside, and said angrily: "Why did you leave so many handles for others? You sent someone to kill Pei Junshan, why didn't you tell me before?"
Matsuzaki was stunned and speechless due to frustration.
"Mr. Lin, I was wrong. I was too conceited after all. If I had discussed it with you at the beginning, maybe none of these things would have happened. Now that things have come to this, Mr. Lin, what should I do?"
"This is not the place to talk. Do you have a safe place to go?"
"Mr. Lin, please follow me."
Matsuzaki pulled Lin Ze into the car, then turned left and right and came to a small courtyard.
After getting out of the car, Matsuzaki sighed and said, "This is where Mao Wanli is imprisoned. He is half dead now and has been taken away by Kitahara Ransuke. No one should be paying attention to this place anymore."
Lin Ze felt disgusted, it was so damn unlucky!
"Okay, Matsuzaki-kun, to make a long story short, you are in a very dangerous situation now!"
Matsuzaki was panicking, "Lin Jun, didn't you say that as long as Kitahara solves the case, I can get out of this?"
"But you hid the key information from me! I didn't know how Kitahara could handle the case like this, or in other words, I don't know if General Okamura was behind this!"
Matsuzaki was horrified and asked, "He has decided to do something to me?"
Lin Ze asked back: "What do you think? Did he give you any face in front of everyone at the meeting today?"
"Then what should I do now?"
"Wait."
"wait?"
Lin Ze lit a cigarette and handed one to Matsuzaki, signaling him to calm down.
"Mr. Matsuzaki, I don't know how many eyes are staring at you right now. Okamura is staring at you, and Kitahara is staring at you too. You've already been in a passive position. If you continue to make trouble now, you will undoubtedly make more mistakes. Do you want to give people more handles? Don't forget that no matter what, you are still a lieutenant general of the empire and you are still the Minister of Secret Service. Some trivial issues cannot take you down, so you just need to lie low and wait for this storm to pass before making plans."
Matsuzaki took a long drag on his cigarette, "What if Okamura doesn't give me a way out and insists on attacking me?"
Lin Ze looked at Matsuzaki and said, "Then I will help you contact the Americans. You go first and I will help you deal with those assets and ensure that you have a good life outside. Of course, this requires that you trust me."
Upon hearing this, Matsuzaki felt a little guilty.
The reason why he didn't discuss the matter of Mao Wanli with Lin Ze at the beginning was not because he didn't trust Lin Ze, but mainly because he was a little arrogant.
Later, he tricked Lin Ze into coming to Beiping, which was purely a betrayal.
But now Lin Ze not only doesn't despise him, but also takes the initiative to help him.
"Mr. Lin, I trust you. Let's prepare for both situations. I will continue to be hospitalized on the pretext of illness, and you can help me prepare for my trip to America. When we have dealt with the assets, why don't you also go to America? We can join forces, and even if it's just business, we will definitely be able to make some progress."
Lin Ze smiled and nodded.
You're thinking about ass!
After comforting Matsuzaki and letting him continue to stay in the hospital, Lin Ze was summoned by Okamura again.
As soon as he entered his office, Okamura stood up and extended his hand to Lin Ze with an apologetic look on his face. "Lin-san, I'm sorry, I intervened too late. I had an important military mission a few days ago and went to inspect the west. After I came back, I heard that you were locked up by Matsuzaki. You suffered, right? But don't worry, Matsuzaki made repeated mistakes this time and caused heavy losses. I will definitely report to the headquarters and deal with him as soon as possible."
Lin Ze was filled with gratitude. "General... you... I really don't know what to say. I have no grievances. From now on, as long as you give me an order, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do my best at all costs! I am your knife. I will kill whoever you tell me to kill!"
Okamura laughed. "You, you, you are wronged. It's not good to be so selfless all the time. I have asked someone to prepare it. I will compensate you in the next two days. I won't tell you yet. This is a little surprise."
Okamura was indeed very happy, as the spy chief Matsuzaki had always been a thorn in his heart.
As the saying goes, "How can one allow others to snore beside one's bed?" In fact, Matsuzaki does not have that much power. However, under Lin Ze's deliberate creation, others think that Matsuzaki has great power and is the spy chief of the entire North China, the kind who has the final say.
It’s not that Okamura had never thought about keeping him as a dog, but Matsuzaki had no previous connection with Okamura. Even if Matsuzaki came to surrender, would Okamura believe him given his character?
Now, by taking advantage of this leak, he can not only severely suppress Matsuzaki, but also make Lin Ze more grateful to him, and gain a great general in Kitahara.
Win, win so much!
He has already started planning how to have Kitahara replace Matsuzaki!
Just when he was feeling very proud, Lin Ze suddenly said, "General, please let me do a small favor for you!"
"Oh? What can I ask you to do?"
"I can kill Matsuzaki for you."
When these words were spoken, even Okamura was surprised.
He frowned and whispered, "Nonsense! How can you say that casually? Matsuzaki is a general appointed by the military. He can be killed at will..."
He looked around, pulled Lin Ze to the sofa on the side, and whispered, "Tell me what you think."
"General, since Matsuzaki is sick and in the hospital, why don't we just create a medical accident and let him die inexplicably? Even if the headquarters sends someone to investigate, they won't be able to find anything."
Okamura thought about it seriously for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin, this is not appropriate. We cannot deal with a lieutenant general like this. Even if we can't find out anything in the end, it will affect everyone's opinion of me. After all, some things don't need to be checked, everyone knows it."
Lin Ze thought to himself, the old man is quite cautious.
"General, I have another plan..."
"Where does the plan come from?"
"I wonder if the general knows the story of being forced to go to Liangshan. We can also force Matsuzaki to go to America..."
Okamura's eyes sparkled after hearing Lin Ze's explanation.
He only had a last bit of hesitation, "After all, this job is too dirty. If I ask you to do it yourself..."
"General, I don't trust others to do it. As long as it is good for you, there is no dirty work that I can't do."
"Okay! Then you go and arrange it. Remember, there's no need to rush this matter. Take it slow and don't leave any loopholes!"
"Yes!"
The relationship between the two became closer with this conspiracy.
