At nine o'clock in the evening, Quan Kanhu came over to report: "Director Ni, Director Wen sent a telegram, and the information you ordered him to check found out: From May 13 to 15 in the 29th year of the Republic of China, there was indeed a treasure hunt news published in the "Declaration" for three consecutive days, and there was also a very strange treasure map, which was written like a book from heaven. ”

Ono Heiichiro closed his eyes and sighed, Ni Xin waved his hand and ordered Quan Kanhu: "You go and get busy, I don't worry about handing over the security work to others, you tell Liu Zezhi, and assist me in interrogating Tang Jitian in half an hour." ”

Quan Kanhu wanted to participate in the interrogation of Tang Jitian, who had made him a big heel, but he didn't dare to recommend himself, so he had to agree.

Heiichiro Ono sighed: "Zhou Chengbin...... Bold and careful, full of tricks, I am not as good as him. ”

Ni Xin comforted: "The general is too modest, Zhou Chengbin did have two shots, but he was also arrested by you, this time the military commander suffered heavy losses, and it was all due to the general's careful planning." ”

Heiichiro Ono waved his hand and changed the subject: "You let Liu Zezhi be your assistant, did your doubts about his identity shake again." ”

"The general clearly sees that his subordinates want to use this opportunity to ......"

Heiichiro Ono interrupted him tiredly: "Well, I don't want to wronged my own people." ”

"Yes. General, you rest early, and Tang Jitian will leave it to me. ”

Liu Zezhi came by order, Ni Xin confessed a few words, and the two came to the torture room. Tang Jitian, who had been tied to the torture rack for seven or eight hours, was pale but in good spirits. Ni Xin sneered: "Tang Jitian, Zhou Chengbin's assistant, the former head of the internal affairs team of the inspection department of the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, is responsible for enforcing family laws and inspecting and interrogating serious internal discipline violators. You wonder how I found out about this, right? ”

Tang Jitian replied lightly: "Not interested." ”

Ni Xin was so blocked by these four words that he couldn't speak, and Liu Zezhi hurriedly accosted him: "The No. 2 person in the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command, Zhang Chi, surrendered to the Japanese Empire and confessed everything, didn't you expect it?" ”

Tang Jitian was still very calm: "I thought of it." ”

Ni Xin patiently persuaded: "So you are basically a waste, but unfortunately, you are obsessed and missed the opportunity to confess first and make meritorious atonements." But you don't need to be frustrated, as long as you repent and change your ways, although there is no valuable information, the imperial army can still give you a chance to be a new person, you don't make mistakes again and again, and miss the opportunity. ”

"I don't need that opportunity."

Ni Xin was angered by Tang Jitian, Liu Zezhi looked more indignant than him, and scolded: "Don't be ashamed of your face!" Come on, tie him to the electric chair and let him taste the taste of electrocution! He was sure that Gong Zhenzong had just died of electrocution, and Tang Jitian had a gunshot wound, and Ni Xin would never be rash.

Sure enough, Ni Xin waved his hand to stop: "Help him tie up the tiger chair." ”

The thug was ordered to do so, and Ni Xin said: "Mr. Tang, I'll give you another chance, as long as you recruit Zhou Chengbin's hiding place in Shanghai, I will let you go." ”

Liu Zezhi seemed to have calmed down, got up and walked to the tiger chair, and helped persuade: "You are arrested, Zhou Chengbin must have ordered the contact point to be transferred, this is Director Ni's kindness, give you a chance to break with the military unification, don't make a mistake." ”

Tang Jitian looked at Liu Zezhi with a little playfulness and replied: "Ni Xin, I don't want to say this question you asked, but I can tell you something more important: Liu Zezhi is an undercover agent of our military commander, and Director Zhou escaped in the car he drove. ”

Liu Zezhi was furious: "You are talking nonsense! Torture! ”

"Liu Zezhi, do you want to kill your mouth? Ni Xin, aren't you stopping it? ”

Ni Xin smiled slightly and replied, "Very good, I'll arrest him in a while." Mr. Tang, is there anything else you want to say? ”

"There is also an undercover agent, Quan Kanhu, who deliberately did not search the bookstore where Director Zhou and I were hiding, so as to wait for another undercover agent, Liu Zezhi, to deliver the car. I sang a double reed with him in the military command base, and it was a bitter ploy to beat him just now, what do you think, how can he be so smart that he impulsively went into the cell to teach me a lesson? ”

Liu Zezhi was so angry that he slapped Tang Jitian twice! scolded: "Sow discord!" Who is Director Ni, and how can he be fooled by you? ”

Ni Xin shouted: "Liu Zezhi, don't be impulsive!" Mr. Tang, you have pointed out that my two department heads are undercover agents of the military command, how can I believe that you are telling the truth? You can't just kill them because of your words, can I? You have to say something to prove that you are sincere in cooperating, right? For example, you also participated in the sabotage of the imperial army's spy network lurking in Chongqing, where did Zhou Chengbin get the information? You came to Nanjing from Zhou Chengbin, Zhang Chi said that he came to meet with a high-ranking official, and he told me the name of this person, can you also tell me who this person is? I'll check it out. ”

Tang Jitian shook his head and said, "I don't want to say it." ”

Ni Xin's patience ran out and motioned for the thugs to start punishing.

Tang Jitian didn't say a word, and as the number of green bricks under his legs increased, cold sweat was covered on his forehead. When he got to the fourth green brick, he only heard a click, and Tang Jitian's left leg was broken! He couldn't take it anymore and cried out in pain......

Ni Xin ordered a moratorium on the torture and persuaded: "How about it? It doesn't taste good, does it? Mr. Tang, you are also an expert in torture, although the tiger chair is torture, there is a criminal law that is more powerful than it, can you hold it? Rather than being tortured and finally having to confess, it is better to know the current affairs and say it now. ”

Tang Jitian gasped for breath and shook his head resolutely: "Don't dream!" ”

Liu Zezhi said: "Director Ni, don't talk to such a fool, continue to torture!" I'd like to see how hard his bones are. ”

It seemed that he would not be able to gnaw on this hard bone for a while, Ni Xin decided to wait until he returned to Shanghai, and then induce Zhang Chi to say something again, and then find a way. If Zhang Chi gave up all his responsibilities and cooperated with Chengcheng, Tang Jitian would not have much value, so he simply sent him to the execution ground, made an example, and gave Zhang Chi and Zhou Chengbin and others, who were on the run, a little color; If Zhang Chi doesn't go on the road, this person needs to stay and think of a way slowly. Of course, it would be better if both of them could figure it out and rush to confess and make meritorious contributions. He waved his hand and said, "That's it, let Mr. Tang think about it carefully, and talk about it tomorrow." Director Liu, let the military doctor of the military police regiment handle it for him. ”

Ni Xin walked out of the torture room, and after a few steps, Liu Zezhi chased him out and shouted, "Director Ni-" He stopped talking.

Ni Xin asked, "Why don't you call a military doctor?" Something to say to me? Let's talk about it. ”

Liu Zezhi asked hesitantly: "This Tang Jitian is very cunning, you will never really think that I am a ...... because of his words."

Ni Xin smiled and said, "Where do you want to go?" Your psychological quality is too poor, okay, go get busy, I know it in my heart - come back, remember: no personal revenge, I keep this person is still useful. ”

At five o'clock in the morning of the 28th, Quan Kanhu and others got up to arrange various matters to return to Shanghai, Liu Zezhi pulled Quan Kanhu aside and whispered: "After interrogating Tang Jitian yesterday, I went to look for you, you have already slept, and I didn't have time to tell you that the man surnamed Tang said to Director Ni that you and I are both undercover agents of the military commander, what can I do?" ”

Quan Kanhu replied with a smile: "God is mysterious, I thought there was something, he said his, what are you anxious about?" ”

Liu Zezhi said: "How can I not be in a hurry? In case Director Ni is provoked ......"

"How is that possible? You're too careful. Zezhi, let's do it, you and I apply to be escorted in a prisoner car to show that there is no other, okay? ”

Liu Zezhi shook his head and said: "Forget it, Tang Jitian is too difficult to deal with, I'd better keep my distance from him, in case I am wronged and colluded with him, it is even more unclear." ”

Quan Kanhu smiled, patted Liu Zezhi on the shoulder, and went to get busy. Liu Zezhi didn't look like there was a problem no matter how he looked at it, so he went back to Shanghai and talked to Ni Xin, don't wronged him.

At six o'clock, the convoy set off on time to return to Shanghai. Asano led four agents in a military jeep to open the way, and Tang Yoshida was locked in the compartment of the prisoner car that followed closely behind, guarded by four armed gendarmes. Zhang Chi was "invited" to the cab of the prisoner car, which had two rows of seats facing the back of the cell, and sat with five agents including Kwon Kan-ho. Behind was Heiichiro Ono's special car, and Liu Zezhi and Tetsuya Kawasaki accompanied Ni Xin in the last car.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the convoy went to the outskirts of Nanjing, Liu Zezhi looked out the window, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the spring returned from the south of the Yangtze River. For several days, he felt like a boulder in his heart: Gong Zhenzong, this unyielding comrade-in-arms, who didn't even know his identity, died of torture; Yu Haochen and the enemy died together; Zhang Chi and Tang Jitian fell into the hands of the enemy, and the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command suffered another heavy blow, and it was impossible to get the task of trying to get the battle plan of the Japanese army in western Hubei...... And himself, since he called Zhou Chengbin to warn, he was suspected by Heiichiro Ono and Ni Xin...... What to do? He was at a loss.

The jeep and the prisoner van followed through a bend in a low-lying area on either side of the road, with a small river on one side and freshly leveled rice paddies on the other.

A grenade suddenly fell from a fishing boat on the river! hit the prisoner car, the rear wheel of the prisoner car was blown up, and after walking crookedly forward for dozens of meters, it rolled over on the side of the road!

A grenade was thrown at Heiichiro Ono's car behind the prisoner car, and Heiichiro Ono's experienced driver stepped on the accelerator and the car went to the left! The right side of the car was hit by flying shrapnel, and the window glass was shattered instantly! Heiichiro Ono got out of the car on the left, and two guards escorted him and retreated.

Liu Zezhi shot back from the car window, Ni Xin was afraid that he would be hit by a grenade in the car, so he ordered: "Get out of the car and shoot back!" Kawasaki-kun, lead people to get closer to the prisoner car, if you can't be defeated, kill Zhang Chi and Tang Jitian! ”

A few people got out of the car and ran a few steps, and the car behind them was blown up by a grenade! Ni Xin and Liu Zezhi were overwhelmed by the huge shock wave. Liu Zezhi fell to the ground and rolled, hid behind a big tree on the side of the road, shot back, and covered Ni Xin's retreat behind the tree.

Feng Gensheng led the team, and 15 or 6 military commanders rushed to the back of the prisoner cart and cut the convoy into two ends. Zhou Chengbin personally rushed to the side of the prisoner car with six soldiers and had a shootout with the escorted gendarmes, and Ge Jiapeng led people to outflank him!

In the cab of the prisoner car, Zhang Chi, who seemed to be sluggish, but in fact had been highly nervous, did not wait for the first grenade to explode, he saw someone on the ship launch a surprise attack, his heart was like electricity, and he reached out and got off the gun of Quan Kanhu next to him, the cab of the prison cell was different from the prison cell where the prisoners were held behind, the car door could not be locked from the outside, Zhang Chi kicked the car door, and jumped out of the cab before the prisoner car rolled over. The prisoner car overturned on its side, and there was Zhang Chi outside, and Kwon Kan-hu and the others did not dare to rashly climb out of the window above their heads, so they had to hide in the car.

Zhang Chi rushed to the inside of the prison room where Tang Jitian was being held behind the prisoner car, and fired two shots in succession, destroying the car lock! The door of the prison cell, which was originally opened left and right, was turned into a door opening up and down due to the rollover of the prisoner car, and Zhang Chi lifted the lower half of the back door of the car.

Asano on the open jeep led people to rush over for reinforcements, Zhou Chengbin led the team to block it, and the two sides started a shootout!

Ge Jiapeng and Zhang Chi reconciled, and the gendarmes in the cell did not follow orders and did not dare to kill the key criminals. Tang Yoshitian, who suffered a fractured left leg and a gunshot wound, fought hard and scuffled with a gendarme.

Tetsuya Kawasaki shouted: "Director Ni has an order, shoot and kill the criminal!" Zhang Chi shot him twice, and Tetsuya Kawasaki was shot and fell to the ground!

Another gendarme was about to shoot Tang Jitian when he heard the news, but the two rolled over in the narrow cell, afraid of accidentally injuring their companions, and after a little hesitation, they were shot dead by Ge Jiapeng! Zhang Chi picked up Tang Jitian on his back, Ge Jiapeng took cover, and ran towards the fishing boat on the small river on the side of the road.

Seeing that Zhang Chi succeeded, Zhou Chengbin ordered a retreat, and Ni Xin shouted: "There is a reinforced battalion of the imperial army nearby, and reinforcements will be sent soon!" Resist, don't let Zhou Chengbin go! ”

The commanders were well-trained, outnumbered, cross-covered, and fought and withdrew. Feng Gensheng had already led people to destroy all four cars. Zhou Chengbin turned around and saw Ni Xin shoot continuously!

Ni Xin couldn't dodge, he was shot in his right leg, fell to the ground, and saw that he was going to die under Zhou Chengbin's gun, Liu Zezhi rushed over and hugged Ni Xin and rolled, dodged the bullet, rolled off the roadbed, and fell into the rice field.
