At seven o'clock in the morning of the 8th, Liu Zezhi stretched his waist, got up and moved a few times, made himself a cup of coffee, and asked, "How many people are there who have not registered?" ”

A civilian staff member of Liu Zezhi's general affairs office flipped through the various documents on the table and replied, "There are fifteen or sixteen more people." ”

Liu Zezhi said: "I couldn't bear it all night. I'll go to the cafeteria for a bit. He stopped the manager of the canteen who delivered the prison meal, "You came just in time, what's the morning today?" ”

The man replied: "Secretary Liu, fifty or sixty people were arrested at once, and Director Ding explained that we can't be too wronged by these foreigners, our canteen is too busy, and the staff meal and prison meal are combined, and they are all pickled vegetables." ”

Liu Zezhi was very dissatisfied: "You guys are getting more and more disagreeable!" I can't control you now, or I'll see how I clean you up! Pickled rice? Everyone's busy night eating this? Merge? I think you're treating everyone as a prisoner, right? Go, go, go, I'm too lazy to bother with you. ”

The administrator didn't dare to talk back, Liu Zezhi was gentle, although he said so, he wouldn't really treat the people under him like that, bowed his head and pushed the food delivery cart away with a smile. Liu Zezhi said again: "I'll go out to eat, and you can rest for a while, in two hours...... Director Ni, why are you here? ”

Ni Xin, who also hadn't slept all night, took two sips of coffee and said, "The director explained that he and General Ono were going to interrogate Edwards and Tanaka Katsuei at half past eight and ordered you to be the translator. ”

"Drink my coffee, gotta drink it all." Liu Zezhi looked at his watch: "It's too late, I'll go out to eat." ”

Ni Xin replied: "The director has not slept all night, and he hasn't used it yet, so you prepare one for the director, and by the way, bring me some sandwiches and a glass of milk." ”

Liu Zezhi was ready to be sent to Li Shiqun's office early, and Li Shiqun said, "Is it too early for the general?" Let's use a little bit together. ”

Heiichiro Ono smiled and said, "Director Li, please, I've eaten." Suddenly turned to ask Liu Zezhi: "Secretary Liu, have you seen Captain Zhao in the past two days?" ”

Liu Zezhi replied casually: "I saw it in the general's office yesterday." ”

Heiichiro Ono didn't ask any more. Li Shiqun hurriedly ate a few bites and said, "General, please." ”

Several people came to the interrogation room, and Ni Xin greeted him at the door: "General, director, all ready." ”

Edwards was escorted up, and Li Shiqun smiled mockingly: "Mr. Consul, we met again, I'm sorry, Li didn't discipline his subordinates strictly, which frightened you." Since the last time Mr. Consul transported stones to the yacht Starfish in the middle of the night, after a few months, Li has always been in suspense, hoping to have the opportunity to meet with Mr. Consul again, to find out, Mr. Consul must be interested in teaching me? ”

Mr. Edwards, who had been imprisoned for a day and a night, was still calm and calm, and he smiled faintly and replied in English: "The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was in the front, and the war was declared in the future. There is an old Chinese saying: There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, and the success or failure of the moment is nothing. Mr. Li is also a person who has seen the world, so why be complacent here? What's more, this is still a temporary victory for the Japanese, doing the bottom business? Mr. Li is not so despicable that he forgets his ancestors and forgets that he is a Chinese, right? ”

Liu Zezhi couldn't help but be impressed by his bearing, but he could only translate according to the script without revealing his face.

Heiichiro Ono smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Consul, I don't want to be rude to you, but only if there are a few questions that you must answer truthfully. The first question: Did the BRICS of the Shanghai HSBC Bank be assisted by the military commanders to transfer you out of Shanghai? Who exactly are you working with? How did the gold bricks finally get out of Shanghai? Second question: Where did Consul Anderson learn that we had set up a net for Mao Renfeng, so as to inform Mao Renfeng to evacuate Wuchao Temple? Question 3: Where did you get the special pass you used when you absconded yesterday? How do you know we're going to arrest you at any moment? ”

Edwards replied coldly: "No comment." ”

Ono Heiichiro said angrily: "Mr. Consul, don't test my patience! You are no longer an immunized diplomat. ”

"But I'm still a gentleman of the British Empire! A gentleman of the British Empire will not betray his friends! ”

Ono Heiichiro laughed angrily, and gritted his teeth and said, "Hehe, Mr. Consul, I won't tell you: I've always wanted to settle accounts with you!" I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Anderson has returned to England, but fortunately you are still in my hands! Someone-"

Liu Ze's heart was sad, what was waiting for Mr. Edwards, he knew too well.

Hirakawa Shinno hurried over and reported: "General, Director Li, a telegram from Nanjing. ”

Ono Heiichiro took it and handed it to Li Shiqun, the message was not long, Li Shiqun quickly read it, and said with a smile: "General, for my thin face, give Mr. Edwards a chance, and be tolerant for a while, I think Mr. Edwards is also a wise man who understands current affairs, and he will definitely be able to understand the stakes." ”

Heiichiro Ono took the opportunity to step down and ordered: "Take him down first." ”

Ni Xin responded yes and led someone to escort Edwards back to his cell.

Ono Heiichiro said angrily: "Nanjing's bumpy Lu beetles, there are more than enough successes and failures, and when they finish the negotiations, everything will be delayed!" ”

Li Shiqun persuaded: "Their concerns are not without a little reason, London, Washington, and the diplomats of the Great Japanese Empire can't be burned, right?" It is inevitable to give them some time to negotiate. ”

Heiichiro Ono sighed helplessly: "That's it." Come on, bring Katsuei Tanaka up. ”

Katsuei Tanaka, who was handcuffed, was escorted up by two thugs, and when he saw Heiichiro Ono, he was overjoyed and shouted: "General, it's great to see you, it's these lowly people...... It was Ni Xin and others who designed to frame me, he and I were suspects at the same time, accepted screening, and had a grudge against me, and Liu Zezhi was his accomplice. Director Li...... Are you informed? ”

Of course, Tanaka Katsuei would not be stupid enough to think that Li Shiqun did not know, so saying this is nothing more than giving Li Shiqun a step, if Li Shiqun can stay out of the matter, maybe he may still be able to escape. As he spoke, he saw that Ono Heiichiro's face was pale, and he knew that it was not good: Ni Xin was Ono Heiichiro's son-in-law...... What a fucking shit! I don't know that General Ono has taken a fancy to this lowly Shina person, and he actually married Zhangzhu!

Li Shiqun replied with a sneer: "Planting? Do you have proof? Tanaka-kun, the special pass is in the safe in your office, why is one missing? ”

"Zhao Jingdong can come and go in my office at any time, and as far as I know, he has the ability to open the safe."

Li Shiqun smiled disdainfully: "So you suspect that Captain Zhao stole the special pass?" Captain Zhao was ordered by General Ono to assist you in your work, and you were allowed to enter and leave your office, and Captain Zhao had a certificate proving that he did not approach the British Consulate. ”

"But Liu Zezhi appeared near the British Consulate very strangely, he is an accomplice!"

"Liu Zezhi is an accomplice? Where does this begin? Was it just because Director Ni sent him to the British Consulate to check on the operation of the listening post? Even if it is as you said, then how did the special pass stolen by Zhao Jingdong get into Liu Zezhi's hands? ”

Tanaka Shengrong was stunned, Li Shiqun didn't wait for him to answer, turned his head and asked Liu Zezhi, who was standing behind him: "Have you seen Captain Zhao in the past few days?" ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "In the last three or four days, I have only seen Captain Zhao in General Ono's office yesterday, and at that time, Consul Edwards' absconding had already happened. ”

Katsuei Tanaka said: "But Zhao Jingdong routinely inspects various checkpoints twice a day, and there are many opportunities to meet with Director Ni, and Director Ni and Liu Zezhi also have the opportunity to meet. ”

Li Shiqun sneered: "There are no good people in Hongdong County, and Ni Xin is involved again, you might as well say that I instigated it behind the scenes, but it is much more credible." ”

That's exactly what Katsuei Tanaka thought, but he couldn't help but answer verbally: "I didn't mean that, Director Li, don't misunderstand." ”

Li Shiqun said: "The same suspect is screened, Ni Xin has formed such a big personal feud with you, colluding with so many people will want to frame you and then quickly, is Ni Xin such a person?" Anyway, he is my subordinate, I can't avoid suspicion, please deal with it general. ”

Li Shiqun is Ni Xin's chief, so he avoids it, Ono Heiichiro and Ni Xin are close relatives of Weng's son-in-law, what will happen? Heiichiro Ono was disappointed and embarrassed, mixed with a little doubt, disappointed that Katsuei Tanaka What's wrong? Being so unbearable in the world, every time you add chaos, it is really embarrassing and useful; The embarrassment is that the concession was suddenly abolished, and at this time, it was necessary to borrow No. 76 to serve the Japanese Empire, for a Tanaka Katsuei, and No. 76 against each other, it was really unwise, not to mention that Ni Xin was implicated during this period. After this incident, the suspicious Heiichiro Ono's trust in Katsuei Tanaka was also shaken, is there really something wrong with this person? As Li Shiqun said, he couldn't stand the torture of the military commanders and had to betray the Japanese Empire? And then he was coerced by Zhou Chengbin to be used by the military commander?

Heiichiro Ono made a decision: "Come on, take Tanaka Katsuei down, hand it over to the Nanjing Military Police Column, and detain him." ”

Tanaka Katsuei was anxious and shouted: "General, your subordinates are wronged!" You have to trust your subordinates ......"

Heiichiro Ono replied indifferently: "If you have something to say to the military court!" Take it away! ”

Katsuei Tanaka was escorted down, and Heiichiro Ono smiled at Li Shiqun: "Director Li, I have always relied on No. 76, I hope you will not live up to this trust." ”

Ono Heiichiro's smile made Li Shiqun shudder, and he replied with a forced smile: "Yes, please rest assured that Li will do his best to serve the Japanese Empire." General, there is a reluctant request from your subordinates: Shanghai is in an extraordinary period, and the general has a heavy responsibility, so please directly command No. 76 and your subordinates will assist. Li Shiqun secretly said that he still showed mercy to Katsuei Tanaka and Heiichiro Ono.

Heiichiro Ono's heart was slightly relieved, and he replied, "That's fine." Secretary Liu, pass on my order: the Municipal Police Department assisted Captain Zhao and immediately began to arrest British and American businessmen in Shanghai and send them to a concentration camp on Chongming Island. Remember: only arrest people, don't touch their assets. Asano-kun, you and Secretary Liu led your subordinates, as well as the gendarmes left behind by General Kagesa, and Yamaki-kun's subordinates, to immediately rush to the concentration camp, set up a guard, and prepare to accept prisoners. ”

Liu Zezhi and Asano hurriedly responded with one click, and went to execute the order. Heiichiro Ono said again: "Director Li, you take someone to escort the arrested British and American government personnel in Shanghai to Nanjing. I've been working with you for the past two days. ”

Li Shiqun replied: "Please rest assured, general, I will do it." "Secretly strange that Ono Heiichiro has a guard team of Zhao Jingdong who is responsible for assisting in the formation of hundreds of people, some of whom are still drawn from No. 76, and he has also ordered Zhao Jingdong to install four or five people. These people have received short-term agent training and are familiar with the terrain of Shanghai, so why not use this team? Only arresting people and not touching the assets of British and American businessmen, does Heiichiro Ono not want to let No. 76 have a chance to get involved in this huge fortune?
