In the No. 1 Prison in the county seat of Xiaoxun, under the high walls of barbed wire grids, in the empty courtyard stood more than 20 prisoners in prison clothes, unkempt, depressed and haggard, all of them felons and death row prisoners in the prison. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of the two rows of prisoners, stood a young Japanese officer, handsome and cold-faced, wearing a white collarless shirt, breeches and riding boots, holding the prisoner's roster book in his hand, behind him were lined up two tables, one table was stacked with a round ocean of white flowers, and one table was stacked with neat satin clothes and white underwear, and a Japanese soldier sat behind the table, holding an empty roster book and pen in his hand, ready to record something.
On the left and right of the table stood two Japanese officers, also in white Han shirts, breeches and riding boots, but with a samurai sword diagonally at their waists, with solemn expressions and motionless.
The Japanese officer standing in the middle of the table was the newly appointed head of the Special High Division, Kitakuraoka Nakasa, who had recovered from his injuries and accepted the instructions of General Yoshiko Yokohama to take up the post of chief of the Special High Division and form a special special team, flanked by his subordinates Nishizawa Shosa and Captain Ogasawara.
In the distance, there were Japanese soldiers with bayonets and spears, and the chief of the prefectural police department and the captain of the squad stood quietly watching from a distance.
Kitakuraoka's cold gaze swept over the criminals in front of him, he slowly picked up the roster book, his eyes fixed on the roster book, and read aloud in the familiar Chinese; "Shi Dazhu, out of the ranks!"
A large prisoner stood out from the line of criminals, his face was full of stubble and his face was gray, and he looked at the Japanese officer who called his name expressionlessly.
Kitakuraoka put down the roster book in his hand and said loudly again; "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all criminals in the county town of Luxun, and you are also bullying and dominating the market on weekdays, and you are all ruffians and felons who are condemned to death, and you can only spend the rest of your life in prison if you are not executed in this life, and now our Imperial Japanese Army is here to help you China establish a new order in Greater East Asia, get rid of poverty and backwardness, resist the humiliation of the Western powers, and jointly implement the creation of a sacred imperial paradise, our Great Japanese Empire is noble and benevolent, Treating you condemned prisoners and felons is also an extrajudicial favor, giving you the opportunity to regain your life, and at the same time, giving you a stable and lucrative job, as long as you are willing to work for our Great Japanese Empire and support our Great Japanese Empire, we of the Great Japanese Empire are not to blame for the crimes you have committed in the past. β
When Kitakura said this, he paused, his eyes quickly scanned the faces of each criminal, and finally his gaze fell on Shi Dazhu's face, and he said in a friendly manner; "Shi Dazhu, a native of the local city of Luxun County, was originally a ruffian hooligan in the east gate market of the county, living on the protection fee of the store in the collection city, and naturally bullying and dominating the market on weekdays, **widow, extortion, doing all kinds of evil, there are three lives in his hands, the people in the city of Yuxun County are angry and resentful, sentenced to death, just waiting for execution, now I will give you a only chance, if you support our Great Japanese Empire and are willing to serve our Great Japanese Empire, you will be free immediately, you will stand on my right hand side of Nishizawa Shaosa, He will soon send you a white ocean and new clothes, and if you do not wish, please stand in front of Captain Ogasawara on my left. β
After Shi Dazhu heard this, his eyes kept turning, thinking about making a choice, and the prisoners lined up behind him all stared at him nervously, watching him how he chose.
Shi Dazhu suddenly pulled away and walked to the left hand side of Kitakuraoka, in front of Captain Ogasawara, and stood in front of Captain Ogasawara in a daze.
All the prisoners were horrified, and there was a commotion in the queue, and Shi Dazhu did not follow the choice that Kitakuraoka gave him a chance to regain his life, and he went against Kitakuraoka's wishes.
Bei Canggang didn't have any expression on his face, he looked at Shi Dazhu coldly, and asked again; "Shi Dazhu, it seems that you don't support our Great Japanese Empire anymore, and you are not willing to work for our Great Japanese Empire, you are willing to give up the opportunity to regain your life, do you think clearly?"
Shi Dazhu raised his head, looked up at the sky, and replied with a sneer; "Who am I, Shi Dazhu? Is a scoundrel rascal! Doing all the bad things, losing all the conscience, in the county of Yuxun County, is a street rat, everyone shouts and beats, I am innocent of death, no regrets? But if I want to betray my ancestors and be a lackey and traitor for little Japan, I can't do it! His voice was loud and he replied with a sense of pride on his face, perhaps for the first time in all his years he felt that he had done something righteous.
Kitakuraoka looked at him in a daze, unable to tell whether he regretted or despised him, and his hand was gently raised and slashed down in the air.
Captain Ogasawara immediately reached out and grabbed the handle of the samurai long sword between his waist and hips, and with a large turn, people saw a flash of the sword in front of them, and they didn't see him draw his sword, nor did they see him put it into its scabbard, he was still standing in place.
saw Shi Dazhu's eyes wide open, his lips open and closed, but he couldn't make a sound, blood gushed in his throat, and then he fell to the ground with a grunt.
It turned out that when Captain Ogasawara turned around just now, he had already pulled out a knife to cut his throat and tracheal vocal cords, so Shi Dazhu couldn't make a sound, but Captain Ogasawara's movements were too fast, and people couldn't see how he pulled out the knife and retracted the scabbard.
There was a panic and commotion in the prisoners' queue, and Kitakuraoka picked up the roster book again, looked at the names on the roster and shouted; "Wu Ergou, out of the ranks!"
A bald man with a round waist and thick shoulders walked out in response and stood at the front of the queue, his eyes constantly staring left and right, hesitating.
Kitakuraoka smiled at him and said; "Wu Ergou, you are a habitual bandit in Mengshan Mountain, and you are sentenced to death, I have just explained the content of the choice, you have to believe in the honesty of the imperial army, do you see that you are standing on my left hand or right hand? Life is only once for people, I hope you cherish it. β
Wu Ergou looked left and right, hesitating, not knowing how to choose.
At this time, a prisoner came out of the queue, thin and thin, although he was dirty, he was still a little handsome and slippery, he came to Kitakuraoka, bowed to Kitakuraoka and saluted; "Taijun, you are a person who needs to support the Great Japanese Empire, and a person who needs to serve the Great Japanese Empire, I think so, let me persuade everyone, let everyone serve the Great Japanese Empire, my name is Yu Qian."
Kitakuraoka quickly flipped through the roster to find Yu Qian's name and criminal record, and then he read the roster; "Yu Qian, male, 26 years old, a native of Luxun County, nicknamed 'Flower Butterfly', specializes in seducing rich ladies and aunts, cheating and defrauding money, seducing a rich aunt and wife three months ago, was discovered by her husband, and ordered the family to take down the wild man, Yu Qian used his own fists and embroidered legs, disabled his aunt's husband and several members of his family, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison." After reading, he looked up at Yu Qian, who was friendly and authentic; "You're right, according to your Chinese words, it's called a person who knows the times as a junjie, you can persuade everyone."
Yu Qian turned around and returned to the queue, muttering quietly to the other prisoners, and then he came to Kitakuraoka again, bent down and bowed again; "Taijun, I have already advised everyone, everyone is willing to support the Great Japanese Empire, and they are also willing to serve the Great Japanese Empire."
"Yo Xi!" Kitakuraoka said happily; "The Great Japanese Empire welcomes you, hurry up over there to get the ocean and clothes, I will immediately send someone to send you to the best barber shop and bath in the county of Yuxun County, so that you can clean up comfortably, and I will pick up the wind for you in the East Asia Restaurant!"
Yu Qian waved his hand, and all the prisoners flocked to the table to register and stamp their handprints, and then went to Nishizawa Shaozo to receive Yuan Dayang and new clothes.
Kitakuraoka smiled with satisfaction, he stepped forward and patted Yu Qian's shoulder and praised; "Yu Sang, a great friend of your imperial army, has the ability, I will reward you with another twenty oceans later."
Yu Qian smiled all over his face, and replied resignedly; "Thank you, Taijun! It is the duty of the little ones to do things for the Taijun. At this point, he blinked and asked; Taijun! Who is our captain? Is it up to your lord to lead us? β
"Is thisβ" Kitakuroka hesitated for a moment and replied; "Nope! You Chinese are still better disciplined than taught by you Chinese, captain, still in the project, will soon find a good captain for you, Yu Sang, you have the ability, give you a vice captain to do, how about it? β
Yu Qian hurriedly shook his hand and refused; "Taijun, mine can't do it, I'm not very good at this, but I have a candidate, this person is called Lu Hanjie, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called." Tie Guan Li', a foreign tough kung fu, turned out to be the head of the Qinglong Hall in Shuangji Town, because the master was seriously ill, he was anxious to get on the head of the position, and did not hesitate to drug the master to murder the master, but the result was not successful, was found by the master, originally according to the rules of the door to be executed, and later was pleaded by his brothers, only one leg was broken, expelled from the division, he committed a taboo, the people of the rivers and lakes despised him, no one used him in black and white, the money was squandered, and now he has been reduced to a beggar and lives in Shuangji Town, but people are still in awe of his tough kung fu, still call him a strong kung fu'Lame Hao', this kind of person is at the end of his rope, if Taijun can reuse him, let him regain money and status, and give him back parents, he will definitely be grateful and die for the imperial army. β
After hearing this, Kitakuraoka pondered for a moment and nodded; "Qinglongtang is a side branch of the Jiangnan Qing Gang, and it is remarkable in the Suxi area, others call it 'Tie Guan Li', 'Tie Guan Li' is the head of the Eight Immortals, this person must have a certain ability, in this case, Yu Sang, take me to see him tomorrow, and help him when he is in trouble, he will naturally know how to repay him, this is also the art of controlling people, since Yu Sang is not willing to be the deputy captain, I think I will give you a chief of staff of the special service team to do it, and the treatment is equal to the captain."
Yu Qian was full of joy, but he still didn't show it on his face, he nodded busily and agreed; "Thanks to the love of the prince, the small one reluctantly agreed, and in the future, he will do his best to serve the imperial army." After speaking, he scratched the back of his head and asked; "It's just that the little ones don't understand, there are existing police officers in the county police department, and they are also trained, why didn't Taijun directly recruit them to serve in the imperial army? And we garbage that harms humanity? β
Kitakuraoka smiled wryly and replied; "The police officers in the county police station are only worthy of doing something to bully the common people, or catch some criminals who steal chickens and dogs, and if they are to be used against the Communist Party and the habitual bandits and outlaws in the mountains, then they will not work! You are all bold and disregard for life, you are all fierce outlaws, and for the rest of your lives, you will naturally know how to thank the Japanese Empire for your kindness, since everyone is now resisting in their hearts, when they realize that they are truly free and can spend their days and drink again, their mentality will change, and they will know that it is much better to live in reality than to die or be locked up in a dark prison! They will wake up to how great the kindness of the imperial army is, they will know how to cherish and have reality, and they will be afraid of losing reality, so only by working hard can they keep reality. β
Yu Qian nodded as if he didn't understand, and muttered in his heart; "Is there such a way to control people in the world? It seems that Lao Tzu's luck is good, although the Japanese in front of him hate it, but he is Lao Tzu's life-saving nobleman! Twenty years of life behind bars is not to escape from prison and be killed, but to die in it. β
All the prisoners were given a round ocean and new clothes, and all of them had excitement and excitement on their faces, and everyone consciously lined up in a line, waiting for the imperial army to lead them to a haircut and bath.
The chief of the prefectural police station and the captain of the action team came forward to congratulate Kitakuraoka; "Congratulations to Taijun, your special team has been successfully recruited!"
Kitakuraoka waved his hand and said with a big grin; "Thank you also for the strong support of your police department, and in the future, I will rely on your full cooperation, and invite all colleagues to celebrate together at the East Asia Restaurant at noon."
At noon, at the East Asia Restaurant, the Special High Division of the Gendarmerie held a banquet in the honor of the special task force, and invited the gendarmerie and the detective team, as well as the police officers of the county police station, which was regarded as a celebration for the special special service team of the special high class.
Full of guests and food, Kitakuraoka asked the commander of the military police, Nojima Daisa, to make an opening speech, and Nojima Osa made a speech in a simple manner, and Kitakuraoka also simply said a few words and ordered the banquet to begin.
For a while, the cups collided and the shouts began, and the policemen and detectives in the police station all got up one after another, and saluted the Japanese in the gendarmerie with their wine glasses, and the Japanese also raised their wine glasses and kept entertaining.
The prisoners of the special high school special service team had already been haircut and combed at this time, changed into new silk clothes and leather shoes, all oily and powdery, shiny, and completely renewed, they faced the sumptuous banquet and wine in front of them, and immediately ate and drank the sea, there was such a happy meal in the prison, and there was not much left of the rich wine and food on the table, and when Nishizawa Shaoza saw this, he immediately ordered the hotel leader to immediately add another table of wine and food to each table.
Kitakuraoka led Nojima Osa and Captain Wu Erbao of the detective team to the secret service team's wine table and introduced them to both sides, and the people of the special team immediately stood up and toasted to Nojima Osa and Wu Erbao with their wine glasses.
The chief of the police department and the captain of the operation team also came to the table of the special team and toasted to Kitakuraoka and the people of the special team, and the attitude was very respectful, many prisoners were personally arrested by the director and the captain of the operation team in prison, and now that they have become guests, the director and the captain of the operation team are naturally very embarrassed, but they are also helpless, because they are now Japanese.
The inmates of the Secret Service also sneered and ridiculed the Chief of Police and the Captain of Operations by reciprocating the Chief of Police and the Captain of Operations, and one of the prisoners shook his glass; "Alas! God really has eyes, my life should not be extinguished, Lord Director, Lord Captain of the Action Team, I didn't expect it, right? Lao Tzu walked out of prison so safely! You accepted the bribe, let go of the real murderer, put the charge of killing that girl on Lao Tzu's head, and forcibly put Lao Tzu to take the blame, hey, you have to drink this glass of wine, maybe one day Lao Tzu will really come to kill your wife or sister-in-law? β
The police chief and the captain of the operation were so angry that their teeth trembled, but they did not dare to attack, they only smiled with their wine glasses, and the prisoners and prisoners at several tables of onlookers next to them laughed, and the chief of police and the captain of the operation could hardly get off the stage.
