Chapter 160: Bitter Mouth
Chen Lan hurriedly went back to the three places and brought the futon over. However, when she arrived in Liushuizhou, she could no longer contact Shi Xixia. Everything must be done according to the rules, and there are no visits to the prison at night. Even if it's daytime, she has to go through the formalities first, and she can't take special care of him just because she is the head of the general affairs section of the three departments.
Moreover, Chen Lan will soon no longer be the head of the general affairs section. In the few days she went to Xiantao, Cheng Jilu checked the accounts of the General Affairs Department, and the results showed that Chen Lan not only embezzled public funds, but also embezzled and accepted bribes.
"Zhou Zhijian, you go back and rest first, the dock canteen has already prepared a meal, eat and then leave." After listening to Zhou Zhijian's report along the way, Zhu Muyun was quite satisfied with his performance.
Originally, in Zhu Muyun's plan, Shi Xixia should have died of bleeding wounds on the road. But he didn't expect that Chen Lan hugged Shi Xixia all the way, and Shi Xixia's injury recovered well, and he actually survived to Gu Xing.
"Thank you." Zhou Zhijian was very happy to see that Zhu Muyun did not blame. Originally, he also wanted Shi Xixia to die on the road, but since Ben Qing Masao used Shi Xixia as a scapegoat, the Japanese would not pay attention to Shi Xixia's life or death.
After Zhou Zhijian left, Zhu Muyun went to see Shi Xixia. Yu Guohui prepared a single room for Shi Xixia, and after Chen Lan sent the futon, Shi Xixia was finally able to lie down for a while. For him, being able to lie quietly is the greatest enjoyment. In the future, there may not be many such opportunities.
Returning to the detention center again, Shi Xixia was full of emotion. The last time he was thrown into the detention center, it was because the Japanese found out that he was smuggling. At that time, he thought that the Japanese would give face, and for the sake of his service to the Japanese, they would raise their noble hands and let him go. As a result, a fat beating made him understand that he had no face at all in front of the Japanese.
This time, as the main person responsible for the robbery of the carpenter Bay laborers, he was also used as a scapegoat by Masashi Moto. On the way back from Xiantao, he thought a lot. It's too much to work for the Japanese. There is no merit, and there is no hard work. If you are going to make a meritorious service, someone will come to grab it immediately. It's going to be bad luck, someone kicks themselves out at any time.
"Shi Xixia, how are you feeling?" Zhu Muyun went to Shi Xixia's cell alone, and he had to talk to Shi Xixia again.
Although Li Bangfan did not say anything, Zhu Muyun had to communicate with Shi Xixia, and Shi Xixia had to plead guilty and plead guilty to the labor incident. If Shi Xixia does not admit his guilt, he will think of another way when the time comes.
"I can't die yet." Shi Xixia tilted his head, glanced at Zhu Muyun, and said lightly.
On the way back to Guxing from Xiantao, the truck was bumpy all the way and almost didn't die on the road. Normal people can't stand it, let alone a gunshot wound patient who hasn't healed yet. It was a taste that was more uncomfortable for him than being tortured in the interrogation room.
At that time, he really wanted to die. However, in the end, they all persevered. And all of this is thanks to Zhu Muyun. His own plans in the ancient star were leaked, which led to the failure of the operation. Not only did it fail to crack the Guchang underground party, but it also delayed the labor transportation plan by two days.
It was precisely because of these two days that the laborers were rescued by the New Fourth Army guerrillas in Carpenter's Bay. Shi Xixia felt that he did have to bear part of the responsibility, but it would be a bit too much to let himself be fully responsible and send it to a military court. At least, he was unconvinced.
"So, human potential is unlimited. Your wife also said that I was going to murder you, and Sun Wu originally said that she would send you to death, but it turned out that they all wronged me. Zhu Muyun took out a cigarette and handed one to Shi Xixia.
"Thank you." When Shi Xixia saw the cigarette, he propped up his body with one arm and sat up against the wall.
When he was in the hospital, the doctors and nurses strictly forbade him to smoke, and after Chen Lan arrived, he broke off the idea of smoking. But Shi Xixia has a lot of addiction to smoking, and he feels that if he is not allowed to smoke, it is better to die early.
"Depending on your status, you will go to court tomorrow, and there will be no problem at all." Zhu Muyun said slowly, although Shi Xixia's spirit is very poor, he can't die yet.
"I'm so anxious to go to court, and the bureau is too anxious." Shi Xixia said that Zhu Muyun is Li Bangfan's lackey, and his words represent Li Bangfan in many cases.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that things have to have a result. It's your responsibility, and you can't put it on someone else. Zhu Muyun said, listening to Shi Xixia's tone, it seemed that he didn't want to admit his guilt.
In this regard, Zhu Muyun is actually very welcome. If Shi Xixia resists vigorously, perhaps Benqing Masao will not let him go to court, directly declare him dead, and then impose all the charges on him.
"It's my responsibility, and it's really my responsibility. Is it not my responsibility, but also let me bear it? It's obviously ......" Shi Xixia said excitedly, obviously the Japanese army was ineffective in fighting and was attacked by the guerrillas, how could he blame him.
If he had to be responsible, he could only bear secondary responsibility. Moreover, it is Ben Qing's righteous work to coordinate all parties and let the laborers stay in Guchang. If he is to be held responsible, he should be equally responsible.
"Why don't you understand it until now, this is already a matter decided by the above, no matter how the verdict is announced, you just need to accept it." Zhu Muyun sighed and said, seeing that Shi Xixia's cigarette was finished, he handed over another one, and by the way, threw the match and most of the pack of cigarettes to him.
"I'm not convinced, is there any reason for this?" Shi Xixia said indignantly.
"You're reasoning with the Japanese? You just have to reason with this wall. If you can bend this wall and make it bow to you, tomorrow you don't have to go to court-martial, and I will carry this black pot for you. Zhu Muyun said bitterly, at this time, Shi Xixia has to be reasonable, what did he do earlier.
Shi Xixia was silent, yes, reasoning with the Japanese is indeed tantamount to playing the piano to a cow. If they were reasonable, they wouldn't have come to China to burn, kill, and plunder.
"That doesn't make me fully responsible." Shi Xixia sighed and said helplessly.
"If I were you, I would definitely not hesitate, and even take the initiative to take all the blame." As if playing a trick, Zhu Muyun took out another bottle of wine, took a sip, and handed the bottle to Shi Xixia.
"Isn't this looking for death?" Shi Xixia was stunned, and saw Zhu Muyun take a sip before taking the wine bottle. As an agent, I am cautious about what is at these entrances. Especially alcohol, sometimes a sip can easily kill you.
"It's better for you to die by yourself than to die with your family, right?" Zhu Muyun said slowly, Shi Xixia still has a wife, although he is still the chief of the general affairs section of the three departments. But Chen Lan is a woman from a Taoist family, and it is very dangerous to get involved in the intelligence industry. This industry is full of crises, and if you don't pay attention to it, you don't know how to die.
"This ......" Shi Xixia was stunned, yes, it doesn't matter if he dies, if he affects Chen Lan, he will really die.
"We all know that the head of the Qing section is actually responsible to a certain extent, and the military blamed him at the beginning. You will take all the responsibilities, and the head of the Qing Division will only thank you. If you insist on making extraneous branches, not only will it not change the result, but it will make him spread his anger on Chen Lan. Zhu Muyun said earnestly.
"I'm dying, is it necessary to pat him on the back? If I die, can Chen Lan stay in three places? Shi Xixia felt that his brain was not enough.
Zhu Muyun's statement sounds absurd, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be unreasonable. Sacrifice yourself to fulfill Chen Lan. At the very least, her sacrifice can be saved. After arriving at the third place, the money earned is enough for Chen Lan to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
"A military court may not necessarily lead to a death sentence, and Chen Lan's future life will become better because of this." Zhu Muyun said slowly, as long as Shi Xixia can admit his guilt and admit his guilt, the next thing is not something he can control.
Just like Boss An, once you go to prison, it's a miracle to be able to live for a month. As for Shi Xixia, his actions led to the sacrifice of the heroic soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, and the sentence against him will definitely not be light.
Shi Xixia poured a big sip of wine, took 10,000 steps back and said, even if he died, as long as Chen Lan could live well, there was nothing to regret. If you offend the Japanese, you deserve it even if you die.
Zhu Muyun didn't persuade anymore, weighing the pros and cons, choosing the lesser of two evils, he believed that Shi Xixia would make the right choice. Zhu Muyun took out a confession that had been prepared a long time ago, and left a pen and ink. This confession is Shi Xixia's admission that he was deceived by the intelligence agent and miscalculated the situation, which led to the failure of the Guchang operation.
At the same time, the transportation plan of the laborers was exposed, which led to the fact that the New Fourth Army guerrillas had enough time to set up and successfully set up an ambush at Carpenter's Bay. It can be said that the laborers were robbed and the Japanese army was attacked, and Shi Xixia had an unshirkable responsibility.
Half an hour later, Zhu Muyun walked into the cell again, and Shi Xixia had already signed the confession and pressed his handprint. The bottle of wine was also drunk by him, and when Zhu Muyun went in, he didn't wake up, and fell asleep deeply. Looking at Shi Xixia's signature, Zhu Muyun smiled silently. This time, it is difficult for Shi Xixia not to die.
Li Bangfan's confession, Zhu Muyun usually does not stay overnight. After getting the confession, he immediately went to Li Bangfan's house. When Li Bangfan saw this confession, he was very satisfied. In this confession, Shi Xixia took all the responsibility. Even Benqing Zhengxiong's behavior was only coordinated by Shi Xixia's strong pleas and even threats.
In this labor attack, except for Shi Xixia, no one else is responsible. Even if there were, it was insignificant. With this confession, in fact, there is no need to go to a military court, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shi Xixia is begging for death.
"How did you get him to sign it?" After Li Bangfan put down his confession with satisfaction, he asked with a smile. If it's just a mudra, anyone can do it. Even if Shi Xixia doesn't cooperate, he can directly forcibly press his fingers down, or brutally cut off his fingers.
But if you want to get Shi Xixia's autograph, it will not be easy.
