Chapter 43 The Crane of the Ancient Pavilion Flies Itself
When Tang Yi walked out of the interrogation room, he was holding Chai Jinchun's confession and drawing in his hand, and his mood did not give birth to the pleasure that he thought he would produce.
Maybe it's because of Chai Jinchun's repentance before his death, or maybe it's Tang Yi's loss after avenging Qiao Xiping, anyway, Tang Yi's interest is not high.
When he returned to the office, the bored Panasonic was holding a copy of Tang Yi's "Three Kingdoms" and reading it with relish, when he saw Tang Yi coming in, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Tang Yijun, how is it." ”
Tang Yi didn't answer, but just waved the confession and painting in his hand.
Panasonic's expression became pleasantly surprised, he hurriedly walked to Tang Yi's side to take the confession and the drawing, read it carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "In the end, it was a talent who came back from Germany to let Chai Jinchun confess so quickly." ”
Tang Yi's interest was not high, he found the sofa and sat down, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose that was a little sore, and only spoke halfway: "Matsushita-kun, I'm a little tired." ”
"Haha, Tang Yijun has worked hard, but I thought I should be happy, so I immediately went to the headquarters to ask Tang Yijun for credit." Panasonic was obviously very happy.
After speaking, Panasonic hurriedly called his subordinates to prepare the car, and hurriedly left with the confession and painting, and said before leaving: "I like Tang Yijun's "Three Kingdoms" very much, I don't know if it can be given to me." ”
Tang Yi smiled and said, "If Panasonic-kun likes it, take it now." ”
After Panasonic left, Tang Yi collapsed on the sofa, smoking a cigarette with blank eyes, and he felt extremely powerless.
It was he who personally designed to kill a countryman who had done something wrong, but still had a trace of conscience in his heart.
The country is really crumbling at this moment, Shanghai has become an isolated island, and the Chinese people who still have a conscience do not know how long they can hold on.
......
Early the next morning, Tang Yi, who had just arrived at the reconnaissance office, received an order from the military police headquarters, and Tanaka Osa ordered him to personally execute Chai Jinchun.
Let the Chinese people kill the Chinese people, this is a common trick of the Japanese, especially to let the Chinese people who have already taken refuge in the Japanese puppet government to kill anti-Japanese elements.
This will not only make the traitors more loyal, but also make them more dependent on the Japanese puppet regime after breaking with the countrymen.
When Chai Jinchun's execution order was issued to the Investigation Department, the entire Investigation Department also fell silent inexplicably, and the high-level officials of the two Investigation Divisions from Qiao Xiping to Chai Jinchun were found to be spies of anti-Japanese elements, which made everyone a little panicked.
It was not only the ordinary personnel of the Investigation Department who felt uneasy, but also Zhou Mingrui, who deeply felt that his position was unstable.
The Japanese apparently began to lose their weight to him, and in a telegram from the Gendarmerie Headquarters today, Tanaka criticized him by name for his management negligence.
"It seems that it is necessary to firmly tie the momentum of Tang Yi with himself, so that he can use Tang Yi to sit firmly as the director." Zhou Mingrui thought so in his heart.
The place where Chai Jinchun was executed was chosen in the compound under the office building of the Investigation Department, which was obviously to warn the entire Investigation Department, and at the same time achieved the purpose of not spreading the word, after all, this was not a good thing for the Japanese puppet regime.
Moreover, if the news spreads, it is very likely to arouse the blood of the patriotic young people hiding in the concession, as well as the fierce criticism of the patriotic literati.
Not long after the news was spread everywhere, Matsushita personally came to the investigation department with a team of gendarmes, and he came to supervise the sentence.
Panasonic came to Tang Yi's office very politely and invited Tang Yi downstairs, the purpose of going downstairs was naturally to kill Chai Jinchun.
Tang Yi knew that he couldn't show the slightest hesitation, although morally speaking, he didn't need to hesitate anything.
When Tang Yi went downstairs, the courtyard was already full of dense people, all of whom were members of the Investigation Department, although most of them were "invited" by the Japanese military police.
Although the Japanese military police "invited" them downstairs to see Chai Jinchun executed, in order to deter them, there may be some deterrent effect.
But most people have the sad feeling of a rabbit dying a fox, although it was the spies lurking around them who were executed, but they were also the descendants of Yan and Huang who had the same blood.
When Chai Jinchun was carried out by two Japanese military policemen, there were still a small number of people who couldn't bear to turn their heads, and when Chai Jinchun saw this scene, a sense of ambition and pride rose in his heart for some reason.
He walked forward with his chest straight, "To die in this way may be considered a well-deserved death." He thought to himself.
Tang Yi looked at Chai Jinchun standing on the improvised execution table in the courtyard with his chest up.
I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling that this Chai Jinchun was dying and could actually live the addiction of a hero and martyr, which was completely inconsistent with the things he did.
Zhou Mingrui took Qing Xiangming and Cui Jiantian to the side, Cui Jiantian looked at Chai Jinchun and scratched his head and said, "I really didn't see that this Chai Jinchun would be a spy before." ”
Qing Xiangming on the side also nodded and said: "It's good that this Chai Jinchun is hidden, I underestimate him." ”
Zhou Mingrui was obviously preoccupied and was not in the mood to chat with the two, and the Japanese were now very cold towards him, which made him very anxious.
Judging from the information he received in the south, Wang Zhaoming had already fled Chongqing and would soon fly from Kunming to Hanoi, Vietnam, and it seemed that he was going to fly from Hanoi to Shanghai.
When Wang Zhaoming flies here, without the support of the Japanese, he is likely to become a marginal figure, and the hoe team of the military commander will definitely not be soft on them, traitors who are not taken seriously but have committed a large number of crimes.
He wants to keep his position, even if he doesn't want to be added to the new government after Wang Zhaoming comes, at least he must have the strength to protect himself.
At this time, Matsushita, who was in charge of the execution, patted Tang Yi on the shoulder, pouted and signaled Chai Jinchun on the execution table, and took out the gun with the other hand and was about to hand it to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi waved his hand and pushed away Panasonic's gun, and said, "I'm not used to your Japanese guns." ”
After speaking, he took out a Walther PPK from his pocket and said: "I'm used to using German goods, not that I said Matsushita-kun, although your Japanese guns are accurate, the others are far behind." ”
Matsushita spread his hands, indicating that the quality of the gun had nothing to do with him, and it was not made by him.
Tang Yi calmly walked on the execution platform, Shanghai was already cold in December, although it had not snowed yet, but Chai Jinchun could still see the hot air spurting out between his breathing while standing on the stage, and now he was unusually hot-blooded.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Tang Yi looked at Chai Jinchun calmly and said.
I saw Chai Jinchun shaking his head slowly, with excitement and anticipation in his voice.
"No, I have no regrets about dying like this."
Tang Yi nodded, raised his gun and aimed it at Chai Jinchun's heart.
"Your wife and children will live well, you can go in peace."
"It's a good feeling to be a ghost with a knife than a slave to the country... It's a pity..."Chai Jinchun lowered his head and muttered softly, as if he was talking to himself.
"Goodbye."
Just after Tang Yi finished saying his last goodbye, a gun rang out.
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and ended the life of this traitor who had defected to the enemy and treason, and the group of sparrows was startled by the sound of gunfire and hurriedly flapped their wings or flew towards the sky from the trees or from the rooftops.
Looking at the gray sky, Tang Yi, who had already turned his back, slowly spoke: "Do you know if you are crying for you, the crane of the eternal Huating will fly by itself." ”
