"Bag duck down!" Junichiro Ikechi hung up the phone receiver suddenly, his face was ashen.
"Commander, what happened?" Kawada Atsuhito asked from the side.
The call came from Kenjiro Kitani, the director of the inspection office.
"The French Concession authorities sent personnel to contact Kitani, and they formally requested compensation from us for the fire in the warehouse and the burning of the materials seized by Magnon Trading Company," Junichiro Ikeuchi said.
"The other party still insists on claiming 200,000 silver dollars from us according to that cargo list?" Kawada Atsuhito asked.
"It's not 200,000." Junichiro Ikeuchi snorted coldly, with anger and awe in his eyes, "The greedy French require us to compensate 300,000 silver dollars?"
"What?" Kawada Atsuhito exclaimed, "Are the French crazy about money?"
He was shocked, "The cargo list said last time it was 200,000 silver dollars..."
Junichiro Ikeuchi said nothing, his face was gloomy and uncertain.
"The French knew that there was a fire in the warehouse and they didn't show mercy." Kawada Atsuhito said with a solemn face.
He looked at Junichiro Ikeuchi and said, "Commander, I will contact Kentaro Miyazaki to inquire about the specific situation."
"Okay." Junichiro Ikeuchi nodded, "Go and see Kitani first and listen to Kitani's opinion."
"Hai."
…
"Is there anything unusual about Shi Lei?" Qianbei Yuanji stood at the window, holding a telescope in his hands.
Liao Hua's ward can be seen through the telescope.
This is the new ward that Qian Kitahara has just arranged. The environment of the new ward is better. The most important thing is that it is an independent ward building, which can isolate the inside and outside to the maximum extent, making it easier for guarding.
The military doctor was checking Liao Hua's physical condition and talking to the nurses and assistants beside him from time to time. The assistants would lower their heads and take notes quickly. In the room, Shi Lei was accompanying him, carefully and carefully observing Liao Hua's condition.
"There is nothing abnormal." Usui Hiroyuki replied, "Shi Lei has not left the hospital even half a step since the conversation."
He said to Chikitaharaji, "According to Mr. Hirai, Shi Lei would leave the hospital before, mainly to buy food for Mitsui. However, since the chief talked with Shi Lei, Shi Lei has not gone out again."
Chikitaharaji nodded slightly, then turned to look at Shinji Hirai, "Hirai-kun, what do you think of this?"
"There are two possibilities." Hirai Shinji said, "In one case, there is indeed something wrong with Shi Lei. It was Shi Lei who passed on information about Liao Hua. However, after learning that we have grasped the leak of the situation,
This person is very cautious and has restrained his behavior.”
Chikitaharaji nodded slightly and motioned for Shinji Hirai to continue.
"Another possibility is that there is nothing wrong with Shi Lei, but this person is cautious in his words and deeds. He knows that an intelligence leak has occurred within the hospital, so he will do things carefully in order to affect himself."
"Which possibility do you prefer?" Chikitaharaji asked.
"In the past few days, my subordinates have been thinking about this matter. Objectively speaking, Shi Lei's suspicion is not great. I have interrogated Yuta Hirai and Shigesaburo Mitsui, and both of them firmly stated that they did not reveal anything about Shi Lei.
Shi Lei should only know the name Liao Hua under the pseudonym Wang Guofa, so there is a possibility that Shi Lei leaked the information..."
Having said this, Hirai Shinci stopped and fell into thinking.
…
"What's wrong?" Chikitaharaji asked immediately.
"Maybe, my subordinate has thought of a possibility." Shinji Hirai said with a serious expression, "Maybe Shi Lei has known about 'Liao Hua' for a long time."
"What do you mean?" Qianbei Yuanji asked, his face darkening.
"Liao Hua was secretly interrogated in the Special High School that day. Liao Hua was seriously injured. At that time, Shi Lei was called to check Liao Hua's body," Hirai Shinji said.
Qianbei Yuanji nodded slightly, he naturally remembered this matter, he was also present at the time.
"At that time, Shi Lei suggested sending Liao Hua to the hospital for treatment." Hirai Shinji said.
"I approved this at the time," Qianbei Yuanji said.
"That's the problem." Shinji Hirai looked ashamed, "My subordinates remembered one thing. They were negligent. When they ordered Yuta Hiraiwa and Shigesaburo Mitsui to send Liao Hua to the hospital,
I once mentioned the name 'Liao Hua' casually."
"Are you sure you mentioned the name 'Liao Hua' at that time?" Chikitaharaji asked with a stern face.
"Indeed." Hirai Shinji nodded and said.
"Bag duck!" Chikitaharaji looked angry and glared at Shinji Hirai, "Hirai, how could you make such a low-level mistake?!"
"It's my subordinate's fault." Hirai Shinji quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "When my subordinate and Yuta Hirai were talking, Shi Lei was not far away, so I can't rule out whether Shi Lei heard it."
"Bag is down!" Chikitaharaji was furious. He stepped forward and slapped Shinji Hirai on the ear, "Stupid!"
"Hai."
"So, you are not sure whether Shi Lei heard it?" Qianbei Yuansi asked in a deep voice.
"Hai." Hirai Shinji said, "Can't be sure."
"Although it is not certain, since the intelligence leak occurred and Shi Lei was already a suspect, now that this person may know about Liao Hua, the doubts about this person will suddenly increase." Qian Kitaharaji looked gloomy.
said.
As he spoke, he paused, set up the telescope and took another look at Shi Lei in the ward, and said in a deep voice, "No, my intuition tells me that the source of the intelligence leak is probably Shi Lei."
"Then my subordinates will send people to continue to monitor Shi Lei." Hirai Shinci said, "As long as there is indeed something wrong with this person, sooner or later he will be exposed."
"There is no need for this trouble." Qianbei Yuansi snorted coldly, "Arrest Shi Lei immediately and conduct a secret interrogation immediately."
He glanced at Shinji Hirai, who was hesitant to speak, and said, "If there is any problem, you will know it soon under the severe punishment."
He was just a Chinese who chose to surrender after being arrested by the Special High School Class but could not survive the punishment. He did not need to go to such trouble and could just be interrogated directly.
"Hai."
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Shinji Hirai personally brought people to the ward.
"Ishisan, Chief Qianbei, please come over here." Hirai Shinji said with a smile.
"Yes." Yang Changnian smiled and nodded, then stood up to pack his medicine box.
Then, two special agents of the Special High School came up, snatched the medicine box from his hand, and inspected it carefully.
Yang Changnian's heart skipped a beat, and he realized something was wrong.
"Taijun Hirai, what are you doing?" Yang Changnian asked with a look of panic.
"Take him away." Shinji Hirai snorted coldly. An agent from the Special High School came up and blocked Shi Lei's mouth with a ball of cloth. Then two agents controlled him from behind and escorted him out.
problem occurs.
Yang Changnian felt a chill in his heart.
He thought carefully, was there something wrong on his side that caused the enemy to find out?
Or is it that something happened with the Special Intelligence Unit, or that there was even a traitor who turned himself in?
While Yang Changnian was thinking wildly in his mind, the person was already escorted out, hooded, and quickly stuffed into a car.
…
Extraordinary courses.
Torture Room Three.
Yang Changnian was tied to the torture stake with Wuhua Da, his hood had been removed, and the cloth from his mouth had also been removed.
He blinked hard to adjust to the change in light.
"Qianbei Taijun, Taijun, what are you doing?" Yang Changnian saw clearly the people standing in front of him, and immediately complained to Qianbei Yuansi, "Taijun, is there any misunderstanding?"
"Ishi-san." Chikitaharaji sneered, "I'm sorry to meet you under such circumstances."
"Taijun, is there any misunderstanding?" Yang Changnian asked with a sad face and panic.
"Shi Sang, you sent the information about Liao Hua." Qianbei Yuanji said, "You don't have to deny it. We have verified this matter."
"Taijun, I'm wronged." Yang Changnian cried out, "I really don't know anything, subordinate, subordinate--"
He shouted, "If Taijun hadn't told me, my subordinates wouldn't even know that the kingdom's official name is Liao Hua."
"No, you know." Chikitaharaji shook his head, "In the torture room that day, you already learned Liao Hua's identity from Hirai's mouth."
"Taijun, you are wronged. I don't understand what you mean." Yang Changnian cried out.
His heart skipped a beat. At that time, he had only listened once, and he was some distance away from Hirai Shinji. He thought that this small detail would not attract the enemy's attention, but he did not expect that after many days, this detail would be noticed by the enemy.
Caught.
Yang Changnian made up his mind and must firmly insist that he heard nothing.
He believed that the enemy was not so sure that he really heard it. After all, his hearing was quick. This was something he himself knew and the enemy had no evidence.
"Isosang, there is an old saying in China." Chibei Genji said, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. You have been tortured. You know the pain, so why should you suffer again."
"Taijun, this subordinate is wronged. I really don't know anything."
"Let's torture." Qianbei Yuanji looked cold and waved his hand.
"Hai!" Hiroyuki Usui took out the whip soaked in salt water from the salt water tank, walked towards Yang Changnian with a grin, and swung the whip down with all his strength.
"ah!"
"Ah ah! Taijun, you are wronged!"
…
Half an hour later, Qianbei Yuanji frowned as he looked at Shi Lei, who had been beaten with a whip and his skin was torn apart and his body was unconscious.
During the torture process, Shi Lei just kept shouting that he was wronged and refused to explain anything.
"Wake him up." Chikitaharaji said coldly.
A basin of cold water was poured directly on Yang Changnian's head.
Yang Changnian groaned and slowly woke up.
His eyes lost their light, and he looked at Qianbei Yuanji stupidly, and murmured, "It's unfair, Taijun, it's unfair."
Qianbei Yuanji snorted coldly and waved his hand.
The red-hot iron was pressed directly onto Yang Changnian's chest.
Yang Changnian screamed and passed out immediately, and a burning smell suddenly filled the torture room.
After a basin of water went down, Yang Changnian woke up again.
Qianbei Genji stepped forward and grabbed Shi Lei's hair with his right hand wearing a white glove, "The red party's underground network in Shanghai, who is your contact?"
"I, I am not, not a Red Party member." Yang Changnian, who was in a daze, said in a low voice.
"Not the Red Party?" Chikitaharaji asked in a soft voice, "Then which part are you from?"
"I am..." Yang Changnian murmured, and then woke up suddenly. He looked at Qianbei Yuanji with wide eyes, "Taijun, you are wronged, I am loyal to the Taijun, and I am loyal to the Empire of Japan.
"
"Continue the torture." Chikitahara released his hand, glanced at the blood stains on his white gloves, frowned, took off his gloves, threw them away, and said coldly.
"Hai."
"I want to see the confession before dinner today." Chikitaharaji said solemnly.
"Hai."
…
at dusk.
Shinji Hirai knocked on the door of Chikitaharaji's office.
"Did Shi Lei confess?" he asked.
"No." Shinji Hirai shook his head.
"What do you think?" Chikitaharaji asked.
"There are two possibilities. One is that Shi Lei is indeed fine, so he has nothing to confess." Shinji Hirai said, "The other possibility is that this person is an extremely stubborn anti-Japanese element."
"The last time Shi Lei was arrested, how long was he tortured before he confessed?" Qianbei Yuanji asked.
"This, I need to check the file." Hirai Shinji said.
Before he was appreciated and promoted by Qianbei Genji, he was just an ordinary agent in the Special High School. He had not participated in Shi Lei's interrogation and had no idea about his situation.
"Go and get the files." Qianbei Yuanji said in a deep voice.
"Hai."
Soon, Shinji Hirai retrieved Shi Lei’s interrogation files from that time.
Qianbei Yuanji lowered his head and looked carefully. Suddenly, he fell into deep thought, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Unexpectedly, this Shi Lei was actually persuaded to surrender by Kentaro Miyazaki." Chikitaharaji said.
"Sir, is there a problem here?" Shinji Hirai asked immediately.
"Do you think Shi Lei knows Cheng Qianfan's true identity as an imperial agent?" Qianbei Genji asked.
"Perhaps you know." Shinji Hirai said in an uncertain tone. He suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "I remembered it. There were rumors within the Special High School that because Kentaro Miyazaki saved Shi Lei, Shi Lei was grateful to him.
So, Shi Lei is Kentaro Miyazaki’s man?”
He showed excitement, "So, behind Shi Lei is Kentaro Miyazaki. Is this incident related to Kentaro Miyazaki?"
Chikitaharaji has been looking for evidence against Kentaro Miyazaki, and this may be a good opportunity.
"Although I hate Miyazaki very much, if this matter is related to Miyazaki..." Chikitaharaji shook his head, "It is unlikely that Miyazaki collaborates with the enemy."
He looked at Shinji Hirai, "However, there is one thing that is strange, don't you think?"
"This subordinate is stupid," Shinji Hirai said.
"We assume that Kentaro Miyazaki persuaded Shi Lei to surrender, and Shi Lei was grateful to him. In other words, Kentaro Miyazaki may be Shi Lei's real backer within the Super High School." Chikitaharaji said slowly, "This time, Shi Lei once again
After being arrested and subjected to such cruel torture, he just cried out for injustice, but why didn't he mention Kentaro Miyazaki or ask for help?"
