At four o'clock in the morning on February 27, Li Shiqun was woken up from his sleep, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said on the phone: "Li Sang, there is an armed conflict on Chongming Island and ZC Island, please bring someone over immediately." ”

Hearing this, Li Shiqun's drowsiness disappeared, ZC Island, isn't that a counterfeit money manufacturing factory? Armed conflict? What's going on? He called Ni Xin, who stayed at the Li Mansion that night: "Ni Xin, immediately notify Captain Tian Chengxi, as well as Yamaki Ryuzo, to accompany me to ZC Island." You and Liu Zezhi also accompanied me. Then call the technician of the identification department. ”

In the darkness before dawn, the group braved the rain to come to ZC Island, and Kagesa Zhenzhao had just come ashore. Li Shiqun took a few steps and asked, "General, what happened?" ”

Captain Morimoto Yaguchi, a lieutenant of the Japanese military police, who had a bandage on his left hand and a bandage on his head, gave a military salute and reported: "General, Director Li, at half past one o'clock this morning, bandits of unknown origin took four speedboats to raid the factory, causing great losses, and the production workshop, engraving workshop, and warehouse were all set on fire. The opponent left twenty-one corpses, which I have sent to collect and pile up in the burned workshop. According to preliminary statistics, there should be a total of forty to fifty of these bandits. ”

Although he had been prepared, Kagesa Zhenzhao was still taken aback, there was no way for the speedboat to sail long distances in the wind and waves, where did the opponent come from? Brigand? Didn't you hear that there is such a large team of bandits near Chongming Island? He said to Li Shiqun: "Li Sang, please order your subordinates to investigate the scene first. ”

Li Shiqun nodded in agreement, and said to Tian Chengxi and several other subordinates: "You go to investigate the scene first, and come back in an hour to report to the general and me." Tian Chengxi, Yamaki Ryuzo, and Ni Xin were ordered to go. Liu Zezhi didn't move, and kept following Li Shiqun on standby.

Kagesa asked, "Lieutenant Morimoto, what are our losses?" ”

Morimoto Yaguchi's expression was gloomy: "Report to the general, our side lost twenty-seven people in the battle, and eight were wounded. ”

Li Shiqun interjected and asked, "Is there a living mouth?" ”

"There was only one who was seriously injured, and when he was interrogated just now, he didn't say anything, and several brothers were on fire, and they hit him a few times......" Morimoto didn't dare to say any more.

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao's face sank, and he shouted, "The only captive is dead?! Morimoto-kun, I'm going to take you to court-martial! ”

Li Shiqun persuaded: "General Kagezo is angry, and Morimoto-kun is also ill-conceived for a while. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so we went inside to take shelter and wait for the results of their investigation. ”

An hour later, Tian Chengxi and others came back and reported: "According to the preliminary investigation, these people are all plainclothes, but from the grenades, explosives bags, machine guns, shell guns and other weapons they used, it is inferred that they will not be bandits and other rabble, but regular troops." ”

Ryuzan Yamaki interjected: "I would like to add: the opponent is well-trained, very skillful in cooperation with each other, and has strong combat effectiveness. The doors of the engraving workshop and warehouse are all specially made thickened double-layer iron doors, which were actually blown away. Before setting the fire, the opponent poured a lot of gasoline, so Morimoto-kun cannot be blamed for not extinguishing the fire. ”

Kagezo Zhenzhao asked, "Li Sang, who do you think these people are?" How did they know that this was where our special products processing plant was located? How did these people come from? ”

Li Shiqun smiled indifferently and replied: "General, if I guess correctly, these people are still from the Shanghai Station of the Military Command. As for where their intelligence came from, this problem will be solved when another problem is solved. ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't turn around for a while, and asked puzzledly, "What's the problem?" ”

"This question is what you say, General: how did they come here?"

"yes, how did they get here? The small fast is obviously not suitable for long-distance sailing, especially in such high winds and waves. Forty or fifty people, did they come on fishing boats? So where did they start from? ”

Li Shiqun replied: "The speed of the fishing boat is too slow, and it is difficult to ensure safety when navigating in the current wind and waves. General, the answer to this question is simple: they came on a large ship with a displacement of more than two hundred tons. Because only such ships can guarantee their actions. And Shanghai, except for the major military and political organs, will not have more than ten people with such ocean-going vessels, as far as I know. ”

Li Shiqun's words woke up the angry Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and he nodded and said, "What Li Sang said is good. More than a dozen ships, one by one, it is not difficult to find out. ”

Li Shiqun said: "During the investigation, from the 25th to the 28th of this month, where are these passenger ships? This point begins. And don't get bogged down in the minutiae of the shape of the passenger liner provided by eyewitnesses. Let's not forget that our opponent is Zhou Chengbin, who will not fail to disguise the appearance of the passenger liner. ”

Kagesa nodded yes. Liu Zezhi was secretly frightened, Li Shiqun was really cunning like a fox, and if he continued to investigate like this, I am afraid that the source of the ship would not be able to be hidden. So from the source of the ship, is Zhou Chengbin in danger of being arrested? Have they been safely evacuated?

Since taking over as the head of the special service of the Songhu Occupation Army Headquarters in December last year, in less than four months, he has been repeatedly frustrated by the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao has been holding a bad breath in his chest. He immediately mobilized manpower, and more than a dozen investigation teams attacked at the same time to carry out investigations. Two days later, on March 1, the Far East was exposed to him: the ship had not been seen in Shanghai since it left the Peace Pier on January 15 last year, three days after returning to Shanghai from Hong Kong. The subordinate reported that the passenger liner, as usual, had been staying on an unnamed island between northern Jiangsu and Shanghai.

The golden dragon is a person whose name has been heard of by Ying Zuozhen for a long time. Many of this person's businesses are shady underworld transactions, so the Far East is also elusive, often seeing the head and the end, and rarely berthing at major docks in Shanghai. The subordinate asked: "General, do you need to 'invite' Boss Huang to assist in the investigation?" ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao shook his head and ordered, "Don't alarm the surnamed Huang first. Directly arrest all the remaining personnel on his ship. Golden Dragon ...... He was appointed by General Okamura Ninji as a goodwill ambassador for Japan-China friendship...... Let No. 76 come forward and interrogate him severely! ”

Brother Tang was secretly arrested. Escorted back to Shanghai overnight.

In the early morning of March 2, in the No. 76 torture room, Li Shiqun said with a smile: "What kind of place is this, I don't say that you also know. Say, don't let my men be rough. Those of them have no sense of proportion. ”

Boss Tang pretended to be confused: "Director Li, our brother is Boss Huang's person." Boss Huang and you can be regarded as friends. Is there some misunderstanding in the middle? Boss Huang is now in Suzhou. You can send someone to ask if our brother has done anything to be sorry for the Imperial Japanese Army. ”

Li Shiqun smiled, and Tian Chengxi also laughed: "Boss Tang, can we arrest you without evidence?" There are so many people on the beach, why don't you arrest others? I advise you not to toast, not to eat, to drink. You are lucky, it is our Director Li here today, he is a compassionate person, and he is willing to persuade you a few words. If you change me, huh! You think you converted the ship and we won't recognize it? ”

Li Shiqun took a sip of tea and said, "Captain Tian, it seems that these two brothers don't listen to persuasion." It's better for you to come. ”

"Don't worry, the director, his subordinates will enlighten them well."

Boss Tang beat a drum in his heart, but he still smiled reluctantly: "Captain Tian, we have dealt with each other before, you can't bend into a trick and let people say that you are not righteous......"

Tian Chengxi slapped the table: "Don't talk nonsense, fucking shameless!" Come on, go to the punishment! Let him taste the tiger chair! ”

The two thugs put the five big and three thick soup bosses on the tiger bench, tied them up, and began to torture them. As soon as two green bricks were placed under his legs, Boss Tang screamed and shouted, "Captain Tian, I'm ...... Say! Let them stop, please! ”

Tian Chengxi hadn't finished smoking a cigarette yet, and sneered: "Want to say it? I don't want to hear it yet. He turned his head and asked Tang Laoer: "How is it?" Your brother wanted to say it, he said it, he made meritorious service, and you are doomed to die......" He raised his voice and said to several assistants: "Is the execution ground arranged?" ”

One of the thugs hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the captain, it has already been arranged." Meritorious release! No meritorious ...... Shot! ”

Tang Lao Er was frightened, and knelt down in front of Tian Chengxi: "I said, I said...... It's a military commander, named Zhou Chengbin, and they take our ship...... Captain Tian, it was all done by my master, and I just listened to the broken urging ...... Captain Tian, the one surnamed Zhou also gave two gold bars, at my brother's place, I didn't ask for it, I am innocent, I am a friend of the imperial army......"

Boss Tang hurriedly added: "There are more than forty of them in total, by the way, one of those people died as an official, what is Captain Sun...... They also taught me what a dead mailbox is, saying that if I have something in the future, I can contact them through the dead mailbox. ”

"My brother wants to sell a box of Western medicine to Zhou Chengbin at a high price from Boss Huang who was detained without permission, and it has nothing to do with me......

"It doesn't matter to you, that box of medicine is made by the two of us together......"

The two brothers scrambled to confess and told everything they knew.

Tian Chengxi smiled coldly, a little unsatisfied, recruited so quickly? Secretly sighed that it would be nice if all the people were as easy to deal with as the two straw bale brothers. He sneered: "Okay, I'll plead in front of Director Li for your brother." I'm a person who is too soft-hearted and comes to ask them to sign and draw. ”
