After Chen Liren let go of Wang Donghai and Ma Yuntian, he naturally couldn't escape Rite's suspicion and punishment, but he was also mentally prepared enough.

As soon as he returned to a red-brick western-style building near the bell tower on Park West Road, he was put into the interrogation room of the secret service when he saw Tamura Takanori, where Chen Liren was hung from a beam, and Tamura Takanori instructed the spy to whip him with a leather whip dipped in water, making a crisp sound of "pop, pop, pop." Where the whip fell, long blood marks immediately appeared.

Chen Liren gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain without making a sound.

One spy was tired, and the other spy continued until Chen Liren was beaten to the core. But the more this is the case, the more relieved Chen Liren's heart becomes, and he can't be relieved.

The iron door of the interrogation room creaked open, and Commander Miyata walked in.

Commander Miyata waved his hand at Takanori Tamura, and the agents stopped to whip and looked at Miyata in bewilderment.

Miyata came to Takanori Tamura and said, "Tamura-kun, you misunderstood what I meant!" ”

Tamura Takanori hurriedly ordered the two spies to put Chen Liren down and help him sit on the stool.

Miyata came to Chen Liren and said with humility on his face: "Chen Jun has suffered, thank you very much for your outstanding contribution in this encirclement and suppression of the rebels of the Blood Soul Regiment!" ”

The spies present were all shocked when they heard this, thinking about the meaning of what Miyata said. And Chen Liren sat expressionlessly and without a little surprise.

Miyata smiled, and then said: I believe that Chen Jun will not betray the Japanese Imperial Army, your affection and righteousness are really admirable!

Chen Liren slowly turned his head and looked at Miyata.

Miyata smiled and continued: You let go of your past accomplices because you were trapped by love and burdened by friends, in your Chinese language, it is called "getting in the way of love". I can forgive you once, but you're now a high-ranking agent of my Imperial Japanese Army, and you have to forget everything about the past, you know!

Chen Liren looked at Miyata, and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Miyata said unhurriedly: You know, the Japanese Empire is the most courteous, honest, loyal, forgiving, and benevolent, we saved your life and avenged you, and I hope you will not live up to the trust of the Imperial Japanese Army in you.

Chen Liren stood up: Commander Miyata, there is also a saying in China, "A soldier dies for his confidant", since the imperial army treats me well and is kind to me, I must be loyal to the imperial army, and I will not hesitate to do so. The past has been settled, and in the future, I will punish all enemies with the Imperial Japanese Army, and I will never be merciful.

Miyata said with satisfaction: We trust you, you are a true friend of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the Imperial Japanese Army will not treat you badly.

Chen Liren nodded again and again: Thank you Commander Miyata for your trust.

Miyata stared at Chen Liren and said: The Blood Soul Regiment has become a big disaster for the imperial army, and although the encirclement and suppression operation has severely defeated the Blood Soul Regiment, they have not yet found their lair and captured the bandit leader Huang Yueming. If the imperial army wants to completely eliminate the Blood Soul Regiment, it also needs Chen Jun's strong assistance.

Chen Liren: I will do my best to help the Imperial Army exterminate the Blood Soul Regiment.

Miyata nodded solemnly and said, "Your next step is to quickly find out the contact point of the Blood Soul Group, and the "Snow Wolf" will fully cooperate with your actions.

Chen Liren thought for a while and said: There is a blood soul group hidden in Nanputuo, you may have acted.

Miyata nodded happily and said to the left and right: "You take Mr. Chen down for treatment, use the best medicine, and recover as soon as possible." ”

"Hello!" The little spies took Chen Liren down.

After Tamura Chongno waited for Chen Liren to leave, he asked with a puzzled expression: "Commander Miyata, why do you still give him such a high courtesy and don't kill the unfamiliar Chinese dog?" ”

Miyata smiled and said, "That's exactly what I want to say to you." Let's go, let's go out and say. Standing in this interrogation room to talk about Chinese culture is too self-righteous and disrespectful to Chinese culture. ”

After Miyata finished speaking, he walked outside, and Tamura Shaosa followed behind at a loss.

Coming outside, Miyata looked at the sun above his head, took a long breath, and then said to Tamura Takanori: "Shaoza, do you know the meaning of 'people in the rivers and lakes, and the body can't help themselves' that Chinese often hang on their lips?" ”

Tamura thought for a moment and said, "This is a Chinese word for China, which means that people are adrift with the environment, forced to adapt, and have no choice but to change themselves."

Miyata continued: "You just said one of the meanings correctly, my understanding is that people walking on the rivers and lakes, the reason why their hearts are not free, is generally trapped by two things, one is the spiritual level, such as grievances and grievances; The other is material, power, money, beauty, etc., in order to get these, they have to do it, and even violate their original intentions and oaths. These two levels often restrain and affect the behavior of the people in the rivers and lakes, so that they cannot come and go freely and freely. The spiritual level, although it is intangible, can influence people's thoughts and behaviors more, inspiring people to move towards their destinations, even at the cost of their lives. This is also the reason why there are endless 'dead soldiers' in China. Most of the people you caught resisting the Imperial Japanese Army did not give in or waver in the face of torture to extract confessions, and this is due to their spiritual strength. Therefore, to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, we must study their culture, look for their weaknesses, and conquer them spiritually. ”

Takamura listened with wide eyes, admiration in his eyes.

Miyata continued: "Chen Liren is an excellent Zhina person, but like other people who walk the rivers and lakes, there are also grievances and grievances, and there are also feelings and hatreds, and it is difficult to let go of his heart for a while, which affects the completion of the tasks assigned to him, but these do not mean that he betrayed us, not only do you not blame him, but also give him understanding and tolerance with a broad mind, give him opportunities and pressure, and let him let go of his worries and love debts, so that he can follow us with all his heart." ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, I understand it completely!" Tamura Takanori said with great admiration.

"Treating the symptoms lies in curing the root cause, and treating people lies in curing the heart. Establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, attack the enemy's territory with sharp weapons, seize their territory and homeland, and conquer their hearts with a gentle policy, so that they can accommodate us. It would be a more effective strategy to adopt both grace and power."

Tamura became dumbfounded and said, "Your Excellency, thank you for your teachings. ”
