Liu Zezhi was also taken aback: Zhou Chengbin kidnapped Ying Zuo Zhenzhao? Good job! While delighted, he was also very worried: It is impossible for the Japanese not to conduct a wanton search and arrest, will it cause an irreparable situation?

At four o'clock in the morning of the 24th, Ding Linjie led a team to meet Li Shiqun and others at the Peace Wharf, and Li Shiqun ordered: "First escort the six prisoners back to No. 76." ”

Ding Linjie replied: "Yes, Director Li, General Ono has arrived at No. 76 half an hour ago. ”

"Got it, I'll rush back. Secretary Liu, you are waiting at the dock for Director Ni to come back, go to the site to survey together, and then come back and report to me. ”

An hour later, Ni Xin and the others returned to the dock, and Liu Zezhi stepped forward and said, "I've been worried about whether Zhou Chengbin will do it halfway, just come back safely." Director Ni, the director ordered us to go to the scene to investigate, let's go. ”

Ni Xin smiled bitterly: "Zhou Chengbin has a hostage in his hand, where will he take any more risks?" Alas, it's been six or seven hours since the incident, and it's impossible for the city police station not to do an investigation, so we went there directly to have a look, and after finding the problem, we went to the scene again. Lao Zhao, I'll just go with Zezhi, you and Asano-kun go back, I think maybe General Ono and Director Li will be sent. ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "Okay, Lao Zhao, after you go back, let Mao Jun and the new forensic doctor Tang come to the city police station to find us." ”

The two came to the city police station, and the deputy director on duty brought more than a dozen photos, a scene investigation report, and two autopsy reports, and said: "After the accident at ten o'clock yesterday, the police arrived at the scene ten minutes later, but because there was no living mouth at the scene, I didn't know that it was General Kagesa's special car...... Later, the car was searched as usual, and a special special pass was found, which was ...... The Japanese command was quickly notified. ”

Ni Xin picked up the photos and studied them carefully one by one, looked at the survey report again, and asked: "The left front wheel of the transfer car was blown out, where is the position of the sniper?" ”

Fang Yan spread out the map and replied: "The preliminary estimate is that it is in this location, and a suspicious trace has been found on the rooftop of this six-story building, but it is such a long distance...... So I'm not sure. ”

Ni Xin replied: "There is nothing that I dare not be sure of, alas, I suspect that it is ...... The three ace killers of the military command, how can they be famous? ”

Liu Zezhi, who was on the side, interjected: "Mao Jun and Forensic Doctor Tang are here, and they and I will go to see the two corpses again." ”

Ni Xin replied: "You go, re-examine again, and then you can take it back and hand it over to the family, alas, I don't know if they have any family members in Shanghai?" ”

After a busy time, the sky was already bright, Ni Xin said to Liu Zezhi and others: "How is it? What's new? ”

Liu Zezhi shook his head and said: "No, the work of the city police station is in place, what should I do now?" It's past six o'clock, and I don't know if the six American diplomats have been executed? ”

Ni Xin replied helplessly: "What else can I do?" Go to the site and then go back and report. Execute? Alas, you say is it possible? What about the safety of the general? ”

Several people came to the scene, several policemen were still there on guard, and walked around, Ni Xin sighed: "Let's go, go back to No. 76." Guys, there's no need for you to be on duty here, you can go back. ”

Back at No. 76, I met Pingchuan Xinye with a solemn expression in the corridor, and when I saw Liu Zezhi, Pingchuan Xinye said: "You are back, I was about to go to the city police station to find you, there was a press conference at half past nine, and Director Li asked you to speak on behalf of No. 76." ”

Liu Zezhi was embarrassed: "Me? What press conference? I don't know anything, how does it represent number 76? Is the director here? I'll ask. ”

Hirakawa Nishino replied: "A quarter of an hour ago, Director Li personally led the team to search in the area of northern Jiangsu, where the third column of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command often frequented, and Captain Zhao and Asano-kun also set off together. By the way, Director Ni, General Ono has temporarily borrowed your office, and Director Li asked me to tell you: order you to stay at No. 76. ”

There were people coming and going in the corridor, and Ni Xin said, "Don't talk about it here, let's talk about it in detail in your office." ”

The three of them returned to the office, and Liu Zezhi asked at a loss: "The director is not here, so what should I do?" It's nine o'clock now. Why is there a press conference at this juncture? ”

Hirakawa Shinno replied: "Isn't it because the execution of the six diplomats was not carried out according to the original plan, and I always have to give an explanation to all sides, Director Li said that although there are basically no reporters from Europe and the United States in Shanghai now, there are still many reporters from Italy, Germany and other allied countries, and I can't find anyone who understands Italian and German for a while, but fortunately, these people all know English, so let you preside." ”

Although it had long been expected that for the safety of Kageza Zhenzhao, Ono Heiichiro and Li Shiqun would not dare to categorically execute American diplomats, but there was no definite news, Liu Zezhi's heart was still hanging, and listening to Hirakawa Shinno say it himself, Liu Zezhi finally let go of his heart. He asked in embarrassment: "You have to find a reason to be on the stage in order to round this field, what do you say to the outside world?" Did the director leave a message? Would you like to ask General Ono? Director Ni, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it alone, so will you attend with me? ”

Director Li confessed that the execution of the death sentence would be suspended on the pretext that these diplomats intended to cooperate with the imperial army. For the rest, you'll be able to improvise. By the way, I ordered two men from the Forensic Section to forge five English confessions, and I will hand them over to you and show them to the reporters, and I will have to go and see the progress. ”

Pingchuan Xinye left in a hurry, Liu Zezhi was stunned, and Ni Xin comforted: "Don't worry, I'll attend with you in a while, with your changes, I can definitely handle it." I'll report to General Ono first, and you can prepare. ”

At nine o'clock in the morning of the 24th, on a small sandbar in the depths of Taihu Lake that only came out during the dry period, in two grass houses that were hastily built overnight, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao had been escorted here for more than four hours, his eyes were closed, and he did not say a word, and Du Yifan, the acting captain of the third column, took the detachment elders Xie and Yu Haochen to guard him.

The sleet in the sky was blowing, the cold wind was blowing, Ge Jiapeng was carrying Zhou Chengbin with a flat boat, and Yu Haochen, who was on guard outside, greeted him and asked, "You are here, Deputy Director Chen is not here?" Didn't he come back from Chongqing? Didn't you pick him up? Jiapeng, you're back. ”

Ge Jiapeng nodded as a greeting, and Zhou Chengbin replied: "We kidnapped Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, it is impossible for the Japanese not to retaliate, I ordered him to take Sun Dongsheng and the action group that participated in the operation, and immediately rush back to Shanghai to arrange a qiē, a few liaison stations that have just been established, and a few action groups, there can be no more accidents." How is Kagesa Akira? ”

Zhou Chengbin had something that he couldn't say: there was another reason why he sent Chen Jinsong back: to contact Liu Zezhi and order him to keep an eye on the response of No. 76 and Ono Heiichiro, and the hostage exchange did not make a mistake.

Yu Haochen replied indignantly: "He didn't say a word, if you hadn't repeatedly told me not to be rude, I would have beaten this damn devil down a long time ago!" ”

Zhou Chengbin's face sank, and he said, "How many times have you said it?" We are soldiers, not bandits! ”

This is Tang Jitian also rushed to say, "Everything you asked me to do has been done." ”

"Come in with me."

Walking into the grass house, Zhou Chengbin sat down on a wooden pier and said: "General Yingzuo, contemptible Zhou Chengbin, Major General Director of the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command Bureau of the Republic of China, fortunately." ”

Ying Zuozhen Zhao opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Chengbin coldly, and mocked: "Zhou Chengbin? Major General Director? Hum! How dare you claim to be a soldier? Has the army of China degenerated into the company of bandits? Hostage-taking, armed kidnapping, you're not even as good as a bandit! ”

Zhou Chengbin sneered: "What kind of talent is a real soldier that you Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is also worthy of?" It seems that the last time I taught you a lesson, it was not completely in vain! Although Zhou is not talented, he also knows that a person who kills an innocent person a day and tries to force his opponent to throw himself into the net is not worthy of being a soldier; The execution of a diplomat who laid down his arms and had become a civilian prisoner of war was not worthy of being a military man! ”

Ying Zuozhen Zhao sneered: "I don't have a war of words with you!" Zhou Chengbin, the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire are not coerced! Whatever you want from me, it's a pipe dream! I fell into your hands, and I didn't intend to live! Hum! After my death, the military command organizations in the Songhu area, even the civilians who were innocently implicated, will surely suffer the most tragic revenge! ”

Zhou Chengbin had already expected Kagesa Zhenzhao's tough attitude, he laughed and replied: "Okay, Kagesa, I almost admire you a little, but don't forget, you also have a wife and son, your son, called Kagesa Taro, right?" Once you get acquainted, I won't let you go down to Huangquan alone, I will definitely send them down to accompany you! ”

Ying Zuozhen was so angry that he rushed over unexpectedly, raised his handcuffed hand and smashed it at Zhou Chengbin! Zhou Chengbin flashed sideways, and Du Yifan and Lao Xie stepped forward to arrest him. Ying Zuozhen Zhao scolded: "Zhou Chengbin, you are a brute with no bottom line!" Not only are you not a soldier, you are not even worthy of a man! I'll kill you!! ”

Zhou Chengbin's smile was grim: "I learned this from you, did you have a bottom line when you used Ruan Bo's daughter to blackmail him into selling his soul?" When you arrested Guo Xuan and discredited people, did you have a bottom line? Damn Japanese bandits, burning, killing and looting the land left to us by our ancestors, how could there ever be a bottom line? Kage Zuo Zhenzhao, I don't bother to hide it from you: I will exchange you for six diplomats in the United States, and give you another two hours, you think about it: you can break up in two and scatter, and the whole family will go to Huangquan together: I will exchange the lives of six Americans for your life, and you will also be able to do it! As soon as they get to the national control area, I will release you immediately. ”

Shadow Zuo Zhen Zhao scolded: "Don't dream! I'm fucking dead, and I won't be able to do it as you want......"

Zhou Chengbin stopped talking nonsense with him and went out.

Tang Jitian, who was on duty outside the door, chased after him two steps and asked, "Director, do you say that Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao will make a deal with us?" ”

"I don't know."

Tang Jitian hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "If he refuses to cooperate, will you really attack his wife and son?" ”

Zhou Chengbin looked at Tang Jitian, and there was a childish seriousness and persistence on the face of this subordinate in the wind and rain. Zhou Chengbin smiled and asked, "Where do you say?" ”

"Me? I don't think you will. ”

"Why?"

"Because you're a decent gentleman."

Zhou Chengbin patted Tang Jitian's shoulder, all without saying a word.
