Unless the Special Higher Police had given them prior notice, or it was an operation assigned to them by the Special Higher Police, the river patrol team would not report to the Special Higher Police immediately.
Yes, that must be it!
Having figured this out, Katsuta Takashi couldn't help but feel quite dissatisfied with Sagawa Taro, but after all, he had been friends with Sagawa Taro for many years and was unwilling to expose this fact in front of Fujiwara Tomohito.
After all, if Fujiwara Tomohito knew that Sagawa Taro knew about the enemy invasion but failed to notify others to take precautions, resulting in him almost losing his life at the hands of the assassin, it would greatly displease Fujiwara Tomohito and even cause him to harbor resentment towards Sagawa Taro.
It should be noted that Fujiwara Tomohito not only has the Fujiwara family behind him, but more importantly, Lieutenant General Uehara Junpei. If he were to cause trouble for Sagawa Taro, Sagawa Taro would find it difficult to withstand the pressure.
He looked at Taro Sagawa with a meaningful gaze, and Taro Sagawa immediately realized what was going on. He hadn't expected Takashi Katsuta to be so perceptive, picking out the flaws in their words.
His eyes darted around, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Mr. Katsuta, although we killed and arrested many Chinese agents this time, I judge that they must have deployed a considerable number of people to launch three assassination attempts simultaneously. The ones killed on the Suzhou Creek were probably only a portion, so the rest are now trapped in the city because they can't cross the Suzhou Creek. I suggest that the Military Police Headquarters take the lead, with our Special Higher Police and the police station assisting, to conduct another large-scale search of Shanghai. As far as I know, these Chinese agents are all from the French Concession, and they probably don't have identification documents in Shanghai. If we search thoroughly, we can still find something."
Sagawa Taro's suggestion pleased Katsuta Takashi quite a bit. He even knew that the benefits should be shared. At least Sagawa Taro wasn't completely naive. He smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Ning Zhiheng had been observing the interaction between the two for a long time, seeing it all clearly, but he pretended not to know.
It was expected that Taro Sagawa would now continue his search for the Chinese agents trapped in downtown Shanghai.
With his rich experience, Taro Sagawa would never leave any loopholes for his opponent. He would seize upon the opponent's weaknesses and press his advantage until he had completely defeated the opponent before he would stop!
The situation has deteriorated to this point, so we must find a way to rescue the remaining people trapped in the city from Shanghai Station. It seems we must act quickly, otherwise a massive search of Shanghai will begin at dawn, and it will be too late if we wait any longer.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng decided not to waste any more time. He stood up and said, "Everyone, let's call it a day. I'm sorry to have worried you all. I'm exhausted and want to go back and rest!"
When everyone heard that Ning Zhiheng wanted to go home to rest, they quickly offered a few words of comfort and saw him out the door.
Outside the door, Kimura Maki was explaining the details to Yi Hua'an and the others who had arrived later.
Upon arriving at the police station, Kimura Maki immediately called Akagi Yukihito, who had been staying at the company, to inform Yi Hua'an, Ning Zhiheng's secretary.
As the chairman's most trusted confidant, Akagi Yukihito's position in the Fujiwara Company was second only to the chairman. Even Hirao Daichi had to obey him. However, he had always had a very low profile and rarely expressed his opinions, so people easily overlooked him.
Upon hearing the news of Ning Zhiheng's assassination attempt, Yi Hua'an immediately dispatched a team of Fujiwara Company security personnel to the police station to protect the chairman's safety.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after watching Ning Zhiheng get into the car and leave under the protection of a group of bodyguards.
Takashi Katsuta, Masakazu Yoshioka, and others also left, with only Taro Sagawa remaining.
He led several of his men into the compound and carefully inspected the condition of Ning Zhiheng's wrecked car. Matsushima and the others also stepped forward to begin their inspection.
After all the inspections were completed, Taro Sagawa looked at the several bullets in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Fearing the assassination attempt would fail, the attacker used a powerful rifle. Blood was everywhere inside the car, the front and rear windows were shattered, the rear tires were blown out, and the rear body was pierced in multiple places, even penetrating the rear seats. Recalling Fujiwara Tomohito's disheveled appearance, Sagawa Taro couldn't help but feel terrified. It was incredibly dangerous. If even one bullet had missed its mark, Fujiwara Tomohito, as the target, would have been doomed. It seemed Fujiwara Tomohito was truly lucky to have survived. How fortunate!
