Although she had been mentally prepared, Kitaoka Ryoko still did not expect Fujiwara Society to go to such lengths in transporting supplies!
The financial and material resources required for this are naturally enormous. Not to mention anything else, just setting up several camps and having enough truck drivers and skilled guards in the occupied areas of China for a long period of time is not a simple matter.
Not to mention the various checkpoints along the way. You have to understand that the Chinese troops stationed along the way have different unit numbers and different camps. They come from all walks of life. How many obstacles must have been overcome to achieve this?
By this time, Kitaoka Yoshiko was certain that Fujiwara Tomohito must have had an important business partner in the occupied territories of China, and that this business partner must be a very powerful figure.
Kota Nakajima continued, "In fact, they transported even further. Yamamoto discovered that when they passed through Changsha, they left some supplies behind, reducing the size of the convoy. They continued westward, but they couldn't keep up after reaching Changde. Changde is close to the Chongqing area, where the defenses are very strict and the checkpoints are very thorough. Yamamoto was almost arrested. He had no choice but to turn back in Changde."
"It even went past Changde? Needless to say, it was shipped directly to Chongqing!" Kitaoka Ryoko was completely speechless.
The smuggled goods from the Fujiwara Company were transported from Shanghai, and not a single item was wasted along the way. Apart from those sent to the front lines in Changsha, the rest were transported directly to the heart of the enemy territory, the temporary capital, Chongqing.
It is easy to imagine the extent of the Chinese government's assistance in providing these controlled materials; Fujiwara Company is blatantly aiding the enemy!
“These parasites!” Kitaoka Ryoko cursed.
Kota Nakajima took out a document from behind him and handed it to Ryoko Kitaoka.
"These are some records made by Yamamoto, including the transportation routes, the specific times when the vehicles passed through various checkpoints, the size of the convoy, the specific locations of the supply convoy's resupply camps, and so on."
Kitaoka Ryoko was overjoyed. She took the document and examined it carefully. The contents were very detailed. She smiled and said, "Yamamoto and the others have worked hard. They did a great job on this mission. With this document, we are much more confident."
Kota Nakajima didn't know what Kitaoka Ryoko meant by "certainty," but he knew it must be related to the Fujiwara Company.
Kitaoka Ryoko put down the materials and continued, "How has the situation been at the Fujiwara Company warehouse that you've been monitoring all this time?"
Upon hearing Kitaoka Ryoko's question, Nakajima Kota quickly took out another file folder, poured out a stack of photos, and handed it to Kitaoka Ryoko, explaining, "We've made some progress. We've been monitoring the area near the warehouse and have taken many photos of our interactions with the warehouse staff."
Kitaoka Ryoko took the photos and examined them one by one. The people in these photos were mostly people in charge of operations, with the warehouse gates as the background. It was obvious that Nakajima Kota had taken them from a distance.
Suddenly she picked up a photograph, pointed to a woman with long hair in a bun and wearing a light blue dress, and asked, "This woman has appeared multiple times, and the background of the gate behind her is different each time. In other words, she has been to every warehouse, right?"
Kota Nakajima took the photo. Because the photos were taken secretly, even with the most advanced camera, the distance made the faces of the people in the photos indistinct. Although not very clear, one could vaguely make out that the woman had delicate and charming features.
Kota Nakajima nodded and said, "Yes, I was just about to report to you. This woman has appeared four times during this period. Each time, she would enter each warehouse to check when supplies were entering or leaving. Moreover, whenever she appeared, everyone else treated her as the leader and was very respectful. I can say with certainty that this woman is the main person in charge of Fujiwara Company's smuggling business in the French Concession."
Upon hearing Kota Nakajima's introduction, Yoshiko Kitaoka immediately focused her attention again. She picked out several photos containing the woman's image and carefully compared them. Although the photos were somewhat blurry, they were still enough to make out the young woman's appearance when put together.
The woman was tall and fit, and her well-fitting long dress perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. Her appearance was also exceptionally beautiful.
Kitaoka Ryoko suddenly realized why, in Iwai Nosuke's investigation, Chairman Fujiwara was never accompanied by a woman. Given Fujiwara Tomohito's prominent status, how could he lack women by his side? If she wasn't mistaken, this was the woman who accompanied Fujiwara Tomohito.
This woman was not only exceptionally beautiful, but she also helped Fujiwara Tomohito manage a massive smuggling business, controlling the most crucial aspects of it, which shows how much Fujiwara Tomohito trusted her.
Thinking of this, Kitaoka Ryoko felt a strong pang of jealousy. Although her feelings for Fujiwara Tomohito were more about personal gain and loss, it was undeniable that Fujiwara Tomohito's excellence was very attractive to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so ashamed and angry when Fujiwara Tomohito rejected her so firmly!
Seeing this woman in blue, Kitaoka Ryoko felt a strong sense of jealousy and competitiveness, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.
Then he turned to Kota Nakajima and asked, "Do you know anything else about this woman?"
Kota Nakajima quickly said, "We discovered that this woman's identity is indeed unusual, so we followed her twice, but she doesn't live in the French Concession."
