Asano promised to leave with one click, the door of the infirmary opened, and a nurse came out and said, "Secretary Liu, Doctor Peng, please go in." ”

Liu Zezhi put on a mask and walked into the infirmary. The assistant brought over a medical tray with a very small piece of paper in it, and the assistant said: "This was found in Chen Zhaozhi's right hand clenched into a fist, and most of it was torn off, and only one corner remained." ”

Liu Zezhi used medical tweezers to clamp it up and look at it carefully, the piece of paper seems to be the most common white paper, the original size is not large, it is speculated to be only about an inch wide, three inches long, and now the remaining part is less than a quarter. There are two lines of words written on it, and there are five words left in the first line: box, three hundred for the goods; There are only three words in the second line: Fu Zhi None.

Liu Zezhi looked at it again and again, and said in a low voice: "If you continue the autopsy, I will send two guards from the internal security team to come over and guard the infirmary, and no one is allowed to approach." I'll come when I go. ”

Liu Zezhi arranged the guards and came to Li Shiqun, and Pingchuan Xinye replied: "Director Li is accompanying General Yingzuo in the reception room, not in the office. ”

Liu Zezhi said with a smile: "Pingchuan-kun, I won't be able to leave for a while, there is something I want to ask you: you go to the confidential room to ask for a photo of Zhou Chengbin, and go to the hospital to let that ...... Tetsuya Kawasaki's gendarme, the one who died by luck and didn't die, let him identify whether the killer was this person. ”

"Okay, I'll go."

In the reception room, Li Shiqun used this time to discuss the establishment of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Branch with Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said: "I have read the copy of the report, there is no problem, who does Li Sang like about the person in charge of the bureau?" Is there an echo over there in Nanjing? ”

"Yes, it was too large and there were financial difficulties, so I was asked to re-plan. As for the candidate for the head of the sub-bureau, it has not yet been decided, what is the general's opinion? ”

Shadow Zuo Zhen Zhao smiled: "That's the matter of No. 76, of course it's yours to decide." There's no hurry, let's talk about it later. Didn't Li Sang say that Ni Xin would not be able to come back for a while and a half? ”

Could it be that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is interested in Ni Xin? Li Shiqun wanted to test a few more words, but Liu Zezhi knocked on the door and said, "Director, my subordinate Liu Zezhi, I have something urgent to ask you for." ”

Liu Zezhi handed over the note that was sandwiched in the Wen Jiàn folder, Li Shiqun looked at it, had already seen the clue, and handed it to Ying Zuo Zhenzhao. Liu Zezhi said: "General, director, this thing was found by Doctor Peng from Chen Zhaozhi's right hand clenched into a fist, and the remaining number of words is too small to guess what is written." But this handwriting ...... The subordinates look a little familiar, the subordinates have seen the Shanghai Station riot headquarters, Zhou Chengbin's handwritten banner and the leaflet found at the scene of the Ailiyuan bombing, the handwriting is very similar, but it is not accurate, please take a look. I have asked Hirakawa-kun to take Zhou Chengbin's photo and go to the military hospital to let the injured gendarme, Tetsuya Kawasaki, identify it. ”

Li Shiqun only glanced at it, and replied with certainty: "This is Zhou Chengbin's handwriting." But it's good to let Kawasaki identify the photo. Does this really have anything to do with Zhou Chengbin? Chen Zhaozhi is a close confidant of Director Wan, and he colluded with Zhou Chengbin...... I always thought it was unlikely. ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was not only jealous of Zhou Chengbin, but also hated him to the core, he sneered: "What's impossible? The people of Zhina, all of them are forgetting ...... of profit" Ying Zuo Zhenzhao felt that it was inappropriate and did not finish his words.

Li Shiqun pretended not to notice Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's gaffe, and said: "If this matter really has something to do with Zhou Chengbin, then the nature of the matter will change. I don't think it's going to wait any longer, without further ado, I'll interrogate that Chen Zhaozhi's subordinate immediately, and if I'm lucky, maybe I can find Zhou Chengbin's traces. ”

When the two came to the torture room, Asano hurried over from behind and said to Li Shiqun: "Director Li, Director Wan's secretary is gone." ”

Looking at Asano's one-click expression, it seems that he did not clash with the secretary of the political security headquarters Wanlilang as he wished. Li Shiqun asked, "What did you say?" ”

"The political security headquarters got the news from the city police department, and I speculate that Wan Lilang may have sent him to the dock to inquire about the news, but he didn't know the essentials, so he found us here. I didn't say anything to him, let alone give him a good face, he was still quite interesting, he didn't dare to entangle, and left. ”

Li Shiqun sighed and said, "You came just in time, you are in charge of the interrogation, Secretary Liu, you come to record and be an assistant to Asano-kun." General, let's watch from the listening room. Liu Zezhi is a little strange: In the interrogation of No. 76, Yamaki Ryuzo was responsible for the most times, where did he go? I haven't seen him in days.

The tall, thin man who had been captured at the dock was escorted up, and Asano asked with a click, "Your name, position." ”

"Zhang Jiaqi, Captain Intelligence Officer of the Intelligence Department of the Political Security Headquarters. Sir, I'm just an errand runner, I really don't know where these arms came from and who the buyer is, you can only ask Commissioner Chen Zhaozhi Chen, you must believe ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a thug rushed over and kicked him to the ground, and another thug waved a steel whip more than a meter long, and scolded him again and again: "Have you asked this?" Ask you what you say! If you dare to quibble, you try! ”

Zhang Jiaqi, who was off the horse and beaten, completely lost the psychology of getting through the test and barely maintaining his dignity, he fell to the ground and said bitterly: "Don't be like this! I'm also from the Great Japanese Empire, what do you want to know? I'll say it all. ”

Asano asked straight to the point: "Who is the next family of you smuggling this batch of arms?" Does it have anything to do with Chongqing Military Command Shanghai Station? ”

Zhang Jiaqi complained bitterly, he really didn't know, and he didn't dare not answer, so he had to say: "Sir, I really don't know the two questions you asked...... Don't hit ...... "The thugs went up and gave them a few more whips." Zhang Jiaqi shouted while dodging: "But I know a secret...... Please, don't fight......"

Asano ordered with one click: "Stop, listen to what he has to say first." He ordered one of the thugs closest to him: "You, go and debug and install the electric chair, I guess it will be used today." ”

The thug answered loudly "yes", walked to the east wall of the torture chamber, pulled down the white cloth covering the electric chair, and plugged in the latch to turn on the power......

Zhang Jiaqi heard about the cruelty of No. 76 electrocution, and couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly said: "In addition to this batch of munitions, there is also a batch of Western medicine on board: four boxes of penicillin. Hidden in the secret compartment of the cabin. ”

Asano was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked Liu Zezhi in a low voice: "When you went to the scene to investigate, did you search the cabin?" ”

Liu Zezhi made a very surprised look and replied: "How can you not search the cabin, it is the scene of the murder, and I didn't find any Western medicine, but there is a secret compartment, and there is nothing in it." What's going on? ”

Asano got up and squatted on the ground with one click, grabbed Zhang Jiaqi's hair, pulled his head up, and asked, "You play tricks with me, don't you?" Someone - has the electric chair been debugged? ”

Zhang Jiaqi begged: "I'm telling the truth, Taijun, these boxes of Western medicine are the private goods that Chen Zhaozhi carried on the back of Director Wan, and Director Wan doesn't know ......."

Liu Zezhi, who was quick-witted, immediately seized the opportunity to ask: "So this batch of munitions, Director Wan is aware of it?" ”

Zhang Jiaqi hesitated, he betrayed Wanlilang, even if he could get out of No. 76 alive, could Wanlilang let him go? The thug stepped forward and asked, "Asano-kun, the electric chair has been adjusted." ”

Asano smiled coldly: "Okay, come on, tie him to the electric chair and prepare to torture!" ”

Zhang Jiaqi was frightened, and hurriedly begged: "I'm telling the truth, Taijun, let me go......"

Asano commanded with one click: "Shut his mouth." ”

Several thugs blocked Zhang Jiaqi's mouth, and skillfully tied Zhang Jiaqi to the electric chair, Asano smiled faintly and said, "Let's start." ”

A thug turned on the power, Zhang Jiaqi trembled, his face was full of cold sweat, and he made a hopeless "woo" sound when he was gagged.

Two minutes later, Asano waved his hand with one button to signal the thug to turn off the power, took out the rag stuffed in Zhang Jiaqi's mouth, and asked, "How do you feel?" Do you want to try a higher current level? ”

Zhang Jiaqi gasped for breath and shook his head again and again: "No, no, I said, this batch of munitions...... It was indeed Director Wan's, bought from Manchukuo, the Kwantung Army...... Suppress bandits, many bandits there have been scattered, many people fled to Soviet Russia, North Korea, and threw down a lot of arms when they left, I know so much, I really don't know who the next family is. Those four boxes of Western medicine were obtained by Commissioner Chen in Manchukuo, and they are cheaper than Shanghai......"

Asano was suspicious and ordered: "Turn up the current by one gear and continue to torture." ”

Zhang Jiaqi heard that he was going to be tortured at first glance, and the current had to be adjusted up one gear, he couldn't hold it, he cried, the muscles on his face trembled, and he tried his best with the only movable head in his body, violently slamming the fence of the electric chair, bent on seeking death. Unfortunately, the range of his movement was too small to exert his strength, and the iron fence was bumped into the crackling, but it could not achieve the purpose of suicide.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zezhi said: "Asano-kun, it doesn't look like he can't be tortured, why don't you ask the director and the general for instructions first?" ”

Asano took advantage of this step and said, "Okay, let's go and ask for instructions first." ”

In the listening room, Director of Telecommunications Wen Guisheng came one step ahead of the two of them and was reporting: "Director Li, at 4 o'clock this morning, the staff on duty at the Telecommunications Department intercepted a secret telegram sent to Chongqing. Although it has been impossible to decipher, it has gradually found a little way. Today I tried to decipher it, and I actually translated a part, you see-"

Li Shiqun took the text folder, and a few lines were written on the translation paper: Get a batch of penicillin that is urgently needed, and send it to Chongqing ********. The matter of sealing the telegraph ********* the production line, ****** really can't do it, please forgive me for it. The crime of disobedience, dare not shirk, ******** to face to face, let it fall. In the middle of the month, the governor planned to go to northern Jiangsu in person to visit and guide, and for the sake of the governor's safety, the construction was cancelled.

Li Shiqun handed it to Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, a short message, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao looked at it again and again, and then said: "Asano-kun, I have seen the interrogation situation, first release Zhang Jiaqi and escort him back to the cell." Then you are responsible for interrogating the two buyers who were captured at the dock and finding out their true identities. Secretary Liu, the autopsy results should be out, right? You have compiled the information on the interrogation, the autopsy, the investigation of the scene, and the interrogation of the gendarme who did not die, and it is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and in an hour, hand me the Preliminary Situation Report. Li Sang, let's go to your office and discuss. ”
