If the Japanese police announced that they had arrested the visiting lieutenant official Xu Yan because of Zhu Youxiang's disappearance, but Zhu Youxiang immediately appeared the next day to announce that he had not disappeared, then the Japanese police and even the Japanese government would be very wolf and discredited 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 is 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 not go down the mountain? ”

"Why should I sue 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." Is Miss Zhu still on the mountain? ”

"Exactly!"

"That's good!" Officer Kobayashi smiled slyly, as if he had 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 public authority of the state! No matter what Miss Zhu is busy with, meet 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 are procrastinating, repeatedly refusing to let Miss Zhu refuse the police visit, what kind of purpose do you have?!" Could it be that you have plotted against Miss Zhu and have already murdered her!? ”

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 exposed, and he defended in horror: "No, no!" Absolutely not. 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, Yasuo Kobayashi also had such a thought in his heart: It doesn't seem right, this guy in front of him, how can he say that he is also a Zhongsa officer, and he is also an elite figure, how can he be so bad, and he was frightened when he yelled at himself? Is it too easy to give in?

But soon, Yasuo Kobayashi was also relieved: although he is an officer of the second sa, the other party is a person from China after all! In the East Asian War of that year, the people of China were as timid as rats, and the Chinese army was equally wasteful and vulnerable. And I heard that the current Chinese army is very ** - this young man in front of him, he probably got the position of lieutenant colonel through guò**, right? Well, that's definitely the case!

Thinking like this, Kobayashi Yasuo's arrogance became even more arrogant, and he shouted: "Xu Yan, you say! What the hell did you do to Miss Zhu? Did you deliberately kill her, huh?! Tell me the truth! ”

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: Tong Guò has rich experience in policing, and he can already imagine the outline of the incident: a pair of young men and women went into the mountains to explore, and 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 is a great credit! Kobayashi Criminal! ”

Yasuo Kobayashi: "Hi Yi! ”

"You have a lot of credit for this case! 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 Tokyo Monster Incident not long ago! Araki told us to use legal means and reasons 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!

Everyone, please keep it up! Please! ”

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 majestically sued Xu Yan that his actions had violated the laws of Japan, which was a crime of strict zhòng. If Miss Zhu dies on the mountain without being rescued, then Xu Yan will have to face charges of first-degree murder and will face hanging - Kobayashi Yasuo will certainly not sue Xu Yan, 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 ready to go into the mountains to search and rescue Miss Zhu, and you are responsible for leading the way for us! If you find Miss Zhu and get her back, we can plead for you 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'll cooperate! ”

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

"Inferior human race like cockroaches, what outstanding people can there be among them? Look at this, they are all the second assistants of the ** team, so cowardly, strong on the outside, and strong in the middle! As soon as we toughen out, they'll be terrified! ”

Xiao Lin added a sentence suspiciously: "It's the same as the war seventy years ago!" The Chinese have always been like that, they will never be our opponents of the Japanese! ”

"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 seventy years ago, and then looking at the cowardly and incompetent lieutenant colonel in front of them, the policemen felt very happy. Kimura Zhengnan stepped forward and kicked Xu Yan, 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, Kobayashi Yasuo also deliberately ran to Xu Yan's side and asked: "Xu Yan, I heard that you are the second officer of the middle ** - yes, our imperial army used to be called Zhongzuo, but now it has been renamed the Self-Defense Force, so it has been renamed Second Zuo." ”

"Yes, I'm a lieutenant colonel in the squadron."

"Oh, Xu Erzuo, you're too powerful!" Speaking words of admiration, Kobayashi Rehabilitation was smiling and disrespectful: "If it is in our Self-Defense Forces, Officer Erzuo is a great 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 **, you 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 you spend 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?" Yasuo Kobayashi is a little weird. He had a feeling: it seemed that after entering the mountain, Xu Yan's attitude and expression had changed back. From the coward who humbly begged for mercy just now, he has become the rude and arrogant lieutenant colonel before.

Kobayashi Yasuo was puzzled: What was the reason for Xu Yan's change? It seems like...... 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 once again used honorifics to 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 stayed on this mountain for days, but I didn't even know the name of this mountain, which is ridiculous. ”

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

"Marutake?" Xu Yanxin repeated the word several 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 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 many mountains, right? My grandfather has dealt with you Shuchuan people a lot. 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 it to travel to China, or to do business, how have you dealt with our Shuchuan people? ”

Hearing Xu Yan's question, a malicious smile appeared on Kobayashi Yasuo'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...... Showa eleven years? 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, this is also our fate! ”

Listening to such remarks, Xu Yan only felt a hot anger rise in his chest, but his face remained calm: "Xiaolin Criminal, your grandfather still has such an experience?" Later, could he have been killed or wounded by the Chinese in that war? ”

"Hah!" Yasuo Kobayashi let out a cheerful laugh, and he said happily, "That's a completely non-existent thing!" During the entire 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.

My grandfather said, this is all blessed by the Buddha! Thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, he was able to come back from China intact, and many of the 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 made so many sins in the war, has he ever reflected or repented after he goes back?" ”

"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 stronger than the Chinese, then we killed the Chinese, it was a matter of course, what is there to regret?
