"Very good, I did not choose the wrong person. I am very pleased to see that although you two have been promoted, you still maintain this humble attitude. I called you two here this time because I have a special task for you." It seemed that because of his recent promotion, Tokugawa Yuichi seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Sir, we are at your disposal at any time." Zhou Ke and the other man said in unison.

"The explosion at the Mitsubishi Corporation's dock caused heavy losses to the empire. We are highly valued by the headquarters, and we must do something!" Tokugawa Yuichi said in a more worried tone.

"Sir, the dock is not under the jurisdiction of our military police. The most we can do this time is to help blockade and investigate, right?" Yokoyama Isamu was a little surprised after hearing this. When did the headquarters value its own military police? Could it be that this incident could also involve the Tokugawa Military Police?

"Ah! What you said is true. This matter really has little to do with our military police. But a group of high-quality reinforcements from the mainland will soon arrive in Shanghai. The higher-ups also explained in the meeting just now that whoever can severely dampen the spirit of the resistance forces in the near future will be qualified for priority expansion. I hope to achieve some results as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"Sir, I think we can take over some cases from the temporary investigation team first." Yokoyama Isamu thought about the pile of files he had accidentally seen at the temporary investigation team before and suggested.

"This is a good suggestion. Anyway, you are also members of the temporary investigation team. They will be happy to see you achieve results." Tokugawa Yu nodded and agreed with Yokoyama Isamu's proposal.

"Sir, I also think Yokoyama-kun's suggestion is very good. But if you are in a hurry, I happen to have a case that can solve your current needs."

Zhou Ke would naturally not refuse Yokoyama Isamu's suggestion. Although the confidentiality work of the Third Branch was done like a screen window and seemed invisible, it was actually basically invisible.

But in terms of power, Zhou may not have complete control over it, but he has almost done so. If anything noteworthy happens, his lackeys will report it immediately.

Since there is no need to worry about the bureau, it is very good to have another legitimate channel to obtain intelligence at this time.

"Not bad, Zhen Ping. You've only been in the Third Branch for a short time, but you've achieved results so quickly! Tell me the situation in detail." Tokugawa Yuichi looked at Zhou Ke approvingly. He became more and more satisfied with the subordinate in front of him.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ke processed the general situation of the capture of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics undercover team and told them. The image of an excellent leader took shape in their minds.

"Sir, I suggest that in order to maximize benefits, we can report the credit this time separately." Zhou Ke suggested after thinking for a while.

"separate?"

"Yes, sir, didn't I capture three groups of people? If you report it directly like this, my credit will be greatly reduced. It is better to divide the credit into three parts and report them at different times. Only in this way can we demonstrate the outstanding professional capabilities of our Tokugawa Gendarmerie!" Zhou Ke said very sincerely, without any reluctance to give up the credit.

"Zhen Ping, I'm glad you can think of me like this. Your plan is really good. It can leave a good impression on the higher-ups and even change the image of our gendarmerie in a short time. But do you have any ideas about the candidates?" After listening to Zhou Ke, Tokugawa Yuichi nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.

"I'll have to trouble you to decide on this matter, sir. However, I also have some selfish motives and would like to recommend Captain Yokoyama. After all, he and I have a good relationship, and he was also just promoted to lieutenant. Although no one will covet the position, his merits can eventually stop some gossip, right?"

Zhou Ke spoke in a magnanimous manner. He knew that Tokugawa Yuichi might not say too many words of praise for his selfless act of giving credit to everyone, but he would definitely give him excessive rewards in the future.

"Mr. Matsuda, your sacrifice is too great. Let me..." Yokoyama Yong was a little excited after hearing what Zhou Ke said. He and Zhou Ke had not known each other for a long time, and although they had a good relationship, he really didn't expect Zhou Ke to strongly recommend him in front of his superiors.

"Haha, you are a good man. It's settled. I think the remaining candidate should be Mao Li Hiromoto! In addition to the last case, I plan to make you three a benchmark to change the image of our military police."

Tokugawa Yuichi finally made the final decision on the candidate. He was not afraid that his subordinates would be too outstanding or even surpass himself, nor did he need to achieve a so-called balance through competition among his subordinates. On the contrary, he hoped that his subordinates could achieve more results.

After all, from the moment he was born into the Tokugawa family, this surname had already determined his social class. No matter how many achievements his subordinates made, they would only add icing on the cake to his brilliant future. At present, no one in the gendarmerie could truly surpass him in status.

...........

At noon that day, without waiting for Zhou Ke to hint to Yokoyama Isamu, Mao Li Hiromoto, who usually had to spend half a day to plan for a bottle of sake, actively invited the two of them to the best izakaya in his area.

"Hiromoto, this is a bit too much. I don't care, but Matsuda-kun said a lot to you in front of the superiors, and you just treat us to this?" Yokoyama Isamu said with disdain, pointing at the unknown sake on the table.

"Hey Yokoyama-kun, it's good to have something to drink. What's the matter? Do you think this is China? Do you want to drink Kikumasamune every day?" Maori Hiromoto also retorted.

"It doesn't matter whether there's alcohol or not, I don't usually drink anyway. Mao Li-kun really thought about it this time, the food in this Japanese restaurant is really good." Zhou Ke didn't care what to drink, he just praised the food in this restaurant.

"Haha, Matsuda-kun, it's all thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have the hope of being promoted to lieutenant. This glass of wine is for you alone!" After saying this, Mao Li Hiromoto drank the sake in the small cup.

"You're so polite. By the way, Maori-kun, I've already asked about what you told me before, and the commander has acquiesced. I'll go back and ask about the requirements, and I'll report to you as soon as there's an order."

Zhou Ke had really asked about this, and Yokoyama Isamu also knew about it. After all, although arms were highly profitable, they were very easy to be seized. To be on the safe side, it was necessary to smuggle them out of Shanghai from the Tokugawa gendarmerie's own territory. In this case, the route must pass through Yokoyama Isamu's jurisdiction.

"I heard the magpie calling when I went out this morning. Good things really happened one after another today. I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Mao Li Hiromoto filled his glass with wine again.

"Your magpie crows at 2:30 in the morning? But now the three of us are completely tied together." Yokoyama Isamu was also very happy today. Not only would he be promoted, but he could also make a fortune with his colleagues, especially his partners, who were Hiromoto Mori, with whom he had always had a good relationship, and Jinpei Matsuda, who had a good background and was capable.

"We are all family, and we hope we can share the happiness in the future!" Zhou Ke took advantage of the atmosphere and raised the teacup in his hand to drink another cup.

This cup of wine was not only for celebrating making money, but also for the cattle and horses that were about to fall into hell under the artillery fire produced by their own people.

Not long after, the three of them toasted each other, chatted about all sorts of things under the sun, and made new breakthroughs in their relationship amid laughter and became even closer.

What they don’t know at this time is that in the future, under the operation of Lieutenant Colonel Tokugawa, the name of the three detectives will resound throughout the Shanghai market.
