In fact, it wouldn't have been difficult for Ning Zhiheng to get rid of Cui Guangqi if he really wanted to. However, due to various considerations and repeated weighing of the situation, Ning Zhiheng hesitated and adopted the method of subversion. He did not expect what happened next. First, Deng Yuankai's attempt to assassinate him failed, and now Cui Guangqi recognized him unexpectedly. Since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to put aside his concerns and get rid of this big trouble in the shortest possible time. It really is true that if the King of Hell calls you to die at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn?
"You're right, we must get rid of him as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Now let's discuss the specific plan!"
At 5 p.m. that day, Takeshita Shinya called Choi Kwang-ki from a public telephone.
At this moment, Cui Guangqi was sitting alone in his office, constantly wiping his sidearm. Pei Tai's death had made him distrust everyone, and he usually kept to himself. His men stood guard outside, and they could not easily enter without his summons.
Just then, the phone rang, and he went over and picked it up.
"Mr. Cui, this is Shinya Takeshita. Is it a convenient time for you to talk now?"
Upon hearing Takeshita Shinya's voice, Cui Guangqi said, "It's Takeshita-kun. I'm all alone here. What are your instructions? What are the section chief and team leader's orders for today's events?"
"Mr. Cui, Chief Imai just returned from a meeting at the military headquarters. I immediately reported the situation to him, and he took it very seriously. He ordered you to go to the Special Higher Police Headquarters right now to report to him in person!"
Cui Guangqi was overjoyed. It seemed that the clues he had reported were very valuable. Now that the Special Higher Police had begun to intervene, the case would progress very quickly.
"I'll head over there right now and report to Team Leader Imai in person!" Cui Guangqi immediately agreed.
"No, no, Mr. Cui, this assassination attempt has made Chief Imai very distrustful of the detectives. This is a serious matter, and we cannot allow them to have any contact with it. Chief Imai has already sent Captain Kurata of the headquarters action team to pick you up. In twenty minutes, wait outside the detective department's gate!"
Cui Guangqi was taken aback. When Imai Yuji came to the Detective Bureau to check the assassination scene before, he did show that he did not trust the agents of the Detective Bureau. In fact, did he trust them either?
"Okay, I'll be waiting for Captain Kurata's arrival!"
Twenty minutes later, Cui Guangqi checked the time, opened the door and left the office. His confidant Qin Xiangrong quickly followed, but was stopped by Cui Guangqi's signal.
"Xiang Rong, I have important business to attend to today, so you don't need to follow me," Cui Guangqi ordered.
His words surprised everyone behind him. Qin Xiangrong and Wei Cheng exchanged a glance. They were both Cui Guangqi's confidants. Since Pei Tai and Deng Yuankai's accident, they had been responsible for protecting Cui Guangqi for the past few days, never leaving his side.
"Director...!"
"Alright, do as I say, I have my own plans!" Cui Guangqi said impatiently.
"Yes!" Qin Xiangrong and Wei Cheng dared not insist and quickly agreed.
Watching Cui Guangqi quickly go downstairs and leave, Qin Xiangrong hesitated and said to Wei Cheng, "What's going on? The director is usually very careful and would never act alone!"
Wei Cheng, however, said dismissively, "The director has his reasons for saying we shouldn't follow. Don't worry so much. Haven't you noticed? Ever since Old Deng tried to assassinate him, the director is wary of everyone, including us!"
Qin Xiangrong gave a bitter smile: "Yes, I didn't realize that Old Deng had such courage. From now on, neither the Japanese nor the section chief will trust us anymore, and our days are going to be tough!"
Cui Guangqi strode out of the office building. The secret agents along the way stood at attention and saluted, but Cui Guangqi paid them no mind and soon arrived at the main gate.
Just then, a black sedan pulled up in front of Cui Guangqi. A young man in a suit got out, looked at Cui Guangqi, and asked in broken Chinese, "Mr. Cui?"
Generally, Special Higher Police agents, when not in military uniform, usually wear suits when on missions.
Cui Guangqi quickly nodded in agreement and asked, "It is indeed this humble servant. Are you Captain Kurata?"
Kurata nodded and said, "Mr. Cui, Team Leader Imai asked me to pick you up so you can report to him in person. Please get in the car!"
"yes!"
Cui Guangqi opened the back door and got in, followed by Kurata. The door closed, and the car drove away into the distance.
