If the Japanese police announced that they had arrested visiting Chinese officer Xu Yan because of Zhu Youxiang's disappearance, but Zhu Youxiang immediately appeared the next day and announced that he had not disappeared, then the Japanese police and even the Japanese government would be very embarrassed and have a disgraced reputation in the international community.

Inspector Kimura had a dark face, he came to Xu Yan in a hurry, and drank it with a very imposing look in his eyes, Kobayashi Yasuo sneered and translated: "Mr. Lin, we respect you as an officer from China, so we have always treated you politely." But if you try to delay time with such ridiculous lies and try to deceive the Japanese police to get by, then we will no longer be polite to you - if you want to deceive the public power of the state, you will have to pay the price!

Chief Kimura asked you, you said that Miss Zhu Youxiang is not missing, so where is she?"

Xu Yan smiled faintly: "Miss Zhu is still on the mountain now, she is busy with one thing, and she can't be free - the disappearance you said is just speculation, not the truth." ”

Hearing Xu Yan say that Zhu Youxiang was still on the mountain, Kobayashi Yasuo was stunned for a moment, shook his head in disbelief, and shouted: "Impossible! Miss Zhu has been up the mountain for five days, what is she doing? Why don't you go down the mountain?"

"Why should I tell you? That's Miss Zhu's own business, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Listening to Xu Yan's answer, several policemen showed anger, and they got together to discuss for a while, and finally, they came to a conclusion. It was still Kobayashi Yasuo who came and said to Xu Yan: "Xu Sang, you say." Miss Zhu is still on the mountain?"

"Exactly!"

"That's good!" Officer Kobayashi smiled slyly, as if he had already punctured Xu Yan's conspiracy. Triumphant: "In this case, please trouble Xu Sang to personally lead us up the mountain and see Miss Zhu with your own eyes, right?"

Xu Yan refused: "Miss Zhu is busy with very important things, and she doesn't want to meet outsiders." ”

"Hehe, Xu Sang, we are the police, we are the organs of state power! No matter what Miss Zhu is busy with, see us and let us make sure she is safe. It's all as it should be. Because we received a report that Miss Zhu had disappeared—"

Seeing that Xu Yan was still hesitating, Kobayashi Yasuo suddenly shouted: "Xu Yan, you have procrastinated, and repeatedly refused to let Miss Zhu refuse the police visit, what kind of purpose do you have?

Yasuo Kobayashi shouted, thinking he was full of majesty. Xu Yan didn't care at all - in his opinion, the intimidation and threats of a few Japanese policemen in front of him were not as powerful as a mosquito humming. However, in order to lure several Japanese police officers into the bait. Xu Yan had to pretend to be "shocked" when his guilt was revealed, and he defended in horror: "No, no! Mr. Officer, I was wronged ......"

Seeing myself shouting. actually suppressed this lieutenant colonel officer from China, Kobayashi Yasuo couldn't help but be secretly proud: this Xu Erzuo was arrogant and proud before. Actually, it's also pretended, right?

He only used the majesty of interrogating the prisoner, and roared angrily, which immediately frightened him. I knew that this guy was such a wastewood, and I didn't need to talk to him for so long just now, so I should have been tough on him!

In a trance, Kobayashi Yasuo also turned this thought in his heart: It doesn't seem right, this guy in front of him, how can he say that he is also a Zhongzuo officer of the Chinese army, and he is also said to be an elite figure, how can he be so bad, and he was frightened when he yelled at himself? Is this too easy to succumb?

But soon, Kobayashi Yasuo was also relieved: Although he was an officer of the Second Zuo, the other party was a person from China after all! The people of China have always been very wasteful, and in the East Asian War of that year, the people of China were as timid as rats, and the army of China was also wasteful and vulnerable. And I heard that the current army of China is very corrupt - this young man in front of him, most of his position was obtained through corruption, right? Well, it must be like this!

Thinking like this, Kobayashi Yasuo's arrogance became even more arrogant, and he shouted: "Xu Yan, what did you do to Miss Zhu? Did you deliberately kill her?

Xu Yan's expression was even more flustered: "It's nothing, I just wanted to make love to her, but I didn't expect her to reject me, I was angry, so I beat her...... Then, I left her alone and came out on my own...... I think she's still in the mountains. ”

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Kobayashi Yasuo was overjoyed: through his rich police experience, he could already imagine the outline of the incident: a pair of young men and women went into the mountains to explore, in the deserted deep mountains, seeing that there was no one around, the young man Xu Yan suddenly went berserk, and wanted to do that bad thing to the young woman Zhu Youxiang who was traveling with him, but was resolutely rejected by the young woman who was traveling with him. Annoyed and angry, Xu Yan angrily took action, injured the young woman Zhu Youxiang, and then abandoned her in the barren mountains and forests.

Xu Yan's behavior obviously includes several crimes: ** (attempt), intentional injury and then abandonment, if these charges can be proven, Xu Yan definitely constitutes a crime. Arresting him on these charges is much more reliable than arresting someone in a disappearance case, and the evidence is much more conclusive.

Now, in order to prove Xu Yan's crime, it is necessary to find the girl Zhu Youxiang who was abandoned by Xu Yan in the mountains!

At that moment, Kobayashi Yasuo was in good spirits, and he reported the results of the interrogation to Inspector Kimura and two other colleagues, and all the police officers were overjoyed to hear that they had seized such a big handle as the Chinese military attaché. Kimura Zhengnan happily encouraged everyone: "Everyone do a good job, let's take Xu Yan up the mountain and let him lead us to Miss Zhu." As long as this case is solved, it will be a great credit!

Yasuo Kobayashi: "Hi Yi!"

We continue to work hard to collect the evidence of this Chinese's crime and formally arrest him!

Just now, the new head of the Second Search Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Araki, told me personally that the identity of this Chinese is very important. It may have something to do with the recent Tokyo Monster Incident! Section Chief Araki told us to use legal means and justifications as much as possible. Forcibly keep him in Japan and not allow him to return to Japan.

Right now. Hearing that Xu Yan is here, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's countermeasures headquarters has sent someone to our Hakone, and it is estimated that we will be able to arrive before tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, we must work hard to use our own strength at the Hakone Police Station to formally arrest Xu Yan before the criminal rush in Tokyo - this is a major case that was directly reported to the Japanese Public Safety Commission, and we at the Hakone Police Station will receive this credit ourselves. Don't leave it to the big men of Tokyo!

Guys, please keep it up!

At the instigation of Inspector Kimura, several criminal policemen were enthusiastic, and everyone responded in unison: "Hey!"

At that moment, despite their exhaustion, all the policemen packed up their bags and prepared to enter the mountain again. Officer Yasuo Kobayashi told Xu Yan very majestically that his actions had violated the laws of Japan, which was a serious crime. If Miss Zhu dies on the mountain without being rescued, then Xu Yan will have to face charges of first-degree murder and face hanging - Kobayashi Yasuo will certainly not tell Xu Yan that Japan is a country that has abolished the death penalty.

Hearing that he was facing the threat of the death penalty. Xu Yan was obviously frightened, and he begged Kobayashi Yasuo repeatedly, begging him not to. You have to find a way to save yourself no matter what.

Seeing Xu Yan's pitiful pleading, Kobayashi Yasuo's heart was full of contempt: "The people of China are such despicable creatures. Hearing about the death penalty, they were immediately frightened. A dignified officer, but there is no dignity!"

Kobayashi Yasuo told Xu Yan very majestically that if he wanted to be saved and exempted from the death penalty, now he had only the only way out, which was to find Miss Zhu before her accident and rescue her back. Otherwise, if something happens to Miss Zhu Youxiang, no one will be able to save him.

"Now, we are going to go into the mountains to search for and rescue Miss Zhu, and you are responsible for leading the way for us! If we find Miss Zhu and rescue her, we can help you intercede in front of the prosecutor. Otherwise, Xu Yan, you will definitely be hanged - will you show us the way?"

Hearing this, Xu Yan looked very frightened, and he nodded again and again: "Officer Xiaolin, I will definitely help you lead the way! Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate!"

Seeing that Xu Yan gave in so easily, he was so frightened that the Japanese police present laughed happily: "Sure enough, the Chinese are as timid as mice!"

"Inferior races like cockroaches, what outstanding characters can there be among them? Look at this, they are all the second leaders of the Chinese army, so cowardly, strong on the outside, and strong on the outside! As long as we are tough, they will immediately be frightened!"

Kobayashi added a sentence in a sinister manner: "Just like the war 70 years ago! The Chinese have always been like that, they will never be our Japanese opponents!"

"Really, if we still have a war with China now, I don't think we should lose, right?"

The policemen laughed - thinking of the war 70 years ago, and then looking at the cowardly and incompetent lieutenant colonel of the Chinese army in front of them, the policemen felt very happy. Kimura Zhengnan stepped forward and kicked Xu Yan, and Kobayashi Yasuo laughed: "Xu Yan, what are you waiting for? Take us up the mountain!"

At noon, the police escorted Xu Yan to the mountain again. Along the way, thinking that a great credit was about to be made, the policemen talked and laughed and seemed very excited. Walking halfway down the road, Kobayashi Yasuo also deliberately ran to Xu Yan's side and asked: "Xu Yan, I heard that you are the second officer of the Chinese army - yes, our imperial army used to be called Zhongzuo, but now it has been renamed the Self-Defense Force, so it has been renamed Erzuo." ”

"Yes, I am a lieutenant colonel in the Chinese army. ”

"Oh, Xu Erzuo, you are too powerful!" said words of admiration, but Kobayashi Fuxing was smiling and disrespectful: "If it is in our Self-Defense Force, Officer Erzuo is a very great big man." But Xu Yan, you are so young, how did you become the second Zuo?"

Kobayashi Yasuo approached Xu Yan and smiled obscenely: "I heard that on your side, the army is very corrupt, and you have to spend money to be a soldier, and it costs money to be promoted, isn't that so? Hey, Xu Erzuo, tell me, how much did it cost you to become a second Zuo at such a young age?"

Xu Yan looked up at the dense woods above his head, but his heart was full of mixed feelings: stepping into this forest again, he thought of Zhu Youxiang again.

He did not answer Kobayashi's question. Instead, he asked him: "Xiaolin Criminal, can I ask you a question?"

"Huh?" Kobayashi Yasuo was a little strange. He had a feeling: it seemed that after entering the mountain, Xu Yan's attitude and expression had changed back. From the humble and coward who begged for mercy just now, he has become the rude and arrogant lieutenant colonel of the Chinese army before.

Kobayashi Yasuo was puzzled: What is the reason for Xu Yan's such a change......? After entering the mountain, he seemed to have changed, and he became as if he had no fear.

What is he relying on?

Kobayashi Yasuo couldn't figure it out, but he had a faint sense of foreboding, and he asked, "Xu Sang, what do you want to ask?"

With the recovery of Xu Yan's attitude, unconsciously. Yasuo Kobayashi's attitude has also changed subtly, and he has resumed using honorifics for Xu Yan as he did when they first met.

Xu Yan pointed to the surrounding mountains and forests and asked, "Excuse me, what is the name of this mountain?" I have been on this mountain for several days, but I don't even know the name of this mountain, which is really ridiculous. ”

"Oh, this mountain is called Mt. Marudake!"

"Maruyue?" Xu Yanxin repeated the word a few times. Nodding slowly: "This, I wrote it down." ”

Kobayashi Yasuo was curious, and he asked, "Xu Sang, excuse me." Where are you from China?"

"I'm from Shuchuan. Kobayashi Criminal, have you ever been to China before?"

Kobayashi Yasuo shook his head: "I haven't been - but my grandfather has been to China, and I heard him say it." Shuchuan seems to be a province in western China, and it is a place with a lot of mountains, right? My grandfather had a lot of dealings with you Shuchuan people. But it's fate!"

"Exactly, we do have many famous mountains and rivers in Shuchuan. Kobayashi Criminal. When did your grandfather go to China? Is he going to China for tourism or business, how did he deal with us Shuchuan people?"

Hearing Xu Yan's question, a malicious smile appeared on Kobayashi's face, and he said, "My grandfather? He went to China in Showa 11. ”

Xu Yan frowned: "I'm sorry, Xiaolin Criminal, I'm a foreigner, and I don't know much about your country's calendar...... According to the AD calendar, when is that?"

Yasuo Kobayashi had an evil smile on his face: "In the 11th year of Showa, that is, in 1937 - my grandfather, he was a commander of the 23rd Wing of the 6th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, he landed from Shanghai, and then fought all the way to Nanjing, the capital of your China at that time.

My grandfather once told me that when he was in Nanjing, his unit captured dozens of soldiers of the Sichuan army, and he ordered his soldiers to stab those Shuchuan soldiers to death one by one with bayonets, and also picked out the hearts of those Sichuan soldiers with bayonets, so that the soldiers could observe them—those hearts that were dug out would still beat moving!

My grandfather ordered the soldiers to practice beheading with the heads of those captives, and watching the Sichuan soldiers who were cut off half of their heads were still not dead, screaming and convulsing over there, my grandfather said, it was really exciting. He said, whether you kill or be killed, this is all the fate arranged by the Buddha!

The Buddha asked my grandfather to meet these Shuchuan soldiers in Nanjing, and in the end it was my grandfather who killed them, then this is their fate! Xu Sang, as their descendants, you and I met here, and this is also our fate!"

Listening to such remarks, Xu Yan only felt a hot anger rising in his chest, but his face remained calm: "Xiaolin criminal, did your grandfather still have such an experience?" Later, could he be killed or injured by the Chinese in that war?"

"Ha!" Kobayashi Yasuo let out a cheerful laugh, and he said happily, "That's completely nothing! During the whole war, my grandfather was not injured once. After the Battle of Nanjing, he took part in the Battle of Xuzhou, and then in the Battle of Wuhan – my grandfather said that he fought in forty-two battles and killed more than a hundred Chinese with his own hands, some soldiers, but most of the others were civilians – but he did not suffer a single wound.

My grandfather told me that once, a Chinese soldier shot at him very close, and at that time, my grandfather thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, the bullet missed, flew past my grandfather's ear, and wiped his hair. My grandfather rushed forward and stabbed the Chinese soldier to death with a bayonet - and later, after the end of the war, my grandfather also returned with the army to demobilize unscathed.

Thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, he was able to come back from China intact, and many of his fellow villagers who went out with him could only come back as an urn, or come back like a missing leg or an arm, and then it would be miserable, and there would be no one without my father, and there would be no one with me. ”

Xu Yan's breathing intensified, his heart was "thumping", his blood was surging, and his eyes were blackened with anger, but he still kept calm: "Xiaolin Criminal, your grandfather has created so many sins in the war, after he goes back, has he ever reflected or repented?"

"Ah, repentance?" Kobayashi Yasuo looked at Xu Yan in surprise: "Why is that? My grandfather didn't think there was any crime at all, he said, since it was a war at that time, we were better than Chinese, so we killed Chinese, it was a matter of course, what is there to regret?"
