Ying Zuozhen Zhao said nothing with a cold face, Ni Xin deliberately smoked two more puffs of cigarette before signaling the thugs to stop the torture and asked, "Tell me, when did you collude with the military commanders." ”

"In July last year, Gu Jing died, and in September, Vice Chairman Zhou ordered me to meet a person, saying that he was from Chongqing, and the Japanese were becoming more and more passive on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but leave a way out for himself and others around him, so he got in touch with Chongqing through the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command. After that, Zhang Chi and I met twice, exchanged two letters on behalf of him and Vice Chairman Zhou, and made an appointment to meet again on the 24th of this month, and I came to Shanghai under the pretext of the Shanghai Municipal Government to participate in the second half of the economic conference in the Songhu area......"

Ni Xin interrupted him impatiently: "Enough! You've said that once, and I want to know the truth! ”

Shao Dongshu cursed and swore awt: "Director Ni, what I said is the truth, the truth is like this, you must believe me!" I'm just doing what I'm told! ”

"But that's not what Vice Chairman Zhou said, do you think I believe you, or do you believe Vice Chairman Zhou's words?"

Of course, he wouldn't admit it...... Zhou Fohai is not thin on me, but I, through the enlightenment of you and General Kagesa, have realized my mistakes, and I dare not harm the public with my own interests, and I am loyal to the Japanese Empire...... Yes, I shouldn't hide it, I shouldn't listen to Zhou Fohai, and harm the interests of the imperial army, but I am his subordinate...... Director Ni, you just give me a chance to make meritorious contributions, I am willing to confront Zhou Fohai face to face! ”

Ni Xin sneered: "Finished? You testify that Vice Chairman Zhou has evidence, right? You can't just rely on your words to summon Vice Chairman Zhou, who is in a high position, right? ”

"Evidence? I...... I'm the witness! ”

Ni Xin smiled and said: "The orphan certificate is not established!" Think about it again. ”

Shao Dongshu pondered and meditated, at a loss: "I have no evidence, he is too cunning...... General Yingzuo, I can confront Zhou Fohai......"

Kagezo Zhenzhao opened his mouth and said: "You don't have evidence, I do, come here, bring up the physical evidence-" Asano, who served as an assistant, walked to Shao Dongshu in front of the torture rack with a tray and showed them one by one.

Shao Dongshu's face was full of doubts, and he replied, "What do these things have to do with me?" ”

Ni Xin asked rhetorically: "It has nothing to do with you?" Can you explain why you found these things in the closet of your apartment in Shanghai? ”

"Found in the dark compartment of my closet? How can it be? There was a secret compartment, but there were only more than a hundred dollars in it, Director Ni, these things are not mine! ”

Ni Xin didn't believe his words at all: If it was planted by the military commander, then the things had already been put in, and what did Qian Mingqi and the others risk to do in the apartment when they met on a narrow road? It's not so simple that you need to do it twice, right? He said coldly, "Not yours?" Evidence! ”

"Evidence? I didn't...... By the way, with my income, it is impossible to have so much money. ”

"That's exactly the question I'm going to ask you: Where did you come from with your property, which is far more than your normal income?"

Shao Dongshu was furious: "How do I know? Director Ni, I said, these things are not mine! Why don't you believe me?! ”

Ni Xin said again: "Then I'll give you another piece of evidence: Vice Chairman Zhou entrusted Director Wan of the Political Newspaper Headquarters to investigate you privately on the 21st of this month, and asked to keep it as confidential as possible, and only inform him of the results." The reason is that he thinks your recent behavior is suspicious, how do you explain it? ”

"Investigate me? How is this possible! ”

"Asano-kun, show him Director Wan's handwritten letter."

Shao Dongshu finished reading. His face turned even paler: "What's going on?" Oh, I see! Zhou Fohai noticed that I was suspicious, so he framed me, yes, it must be so! ”

Ni Xin shook his head and smiled: "Do you think you can justify yourself?" According to what you said, Zhou Fohai on the 21st was suspicious of you entrusting someone to investigate, but he also ordered you to meet with Zhang Chi on the 24th. Is this possible? Besides, since you are just acting on orders and colluding with the Chongqing government, Zhou Fohai has entrusted such a confidential matter to you, why would you ask someone to investigate privately because you are suspicious? Isn't he afraid that when Director Wan investigates, he will discover his illegal behavior? ”

Shao Dongshu was speechless, and said after a while: "I can't explain, Director Ni, I'm just a small person, Zhou Fohai and Wan Lilang teamed up to frame me, it must be seamless!" ”

"Joining forces to plant a sham? What did you do to get two of these big figures to work against you together? ”

"That's because I was found by you to be secretly released and arrested, and Zhou Fohai framed me in order to protect himself!"

"Where are the waves? How did you offend him? ”

"I didn't offend him, and although I knew him well, I didn't have a friendship, and I certainly didn't have a holiday...... By the way, it should be Zhou Fohai who bought him! ”

Ni Xin smiled: "If Wan Lilang says something unfavorable to you, he is being bought, so if I torture you, will I also be bought?" In your eyes, there are no good people in Hongdong County. I see that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, come to someone, enlighten him well! ”

The thug picked up the steel whip again and whipped it!

Shao Dongshu begged at first, but to no avail, then scolded: "Ni Xin, you idiot! You can't see such a simple planting! You fight! Kill me, and I won't be able to do what you want! Kagesa Zhenzhao, you're an idiot too! Look at the people you use! You poisoned Li Shiqun and used Ni Xin, a fool! Ni Xin, you colluded with the military ......"

Everyone in the torture room was shocked when they heard this, and Asano ordered with one click: "Bastard! Let him talk nonsense! Gagged him and continued to torture! ”

After dozens of whips, Shao Dongshu turned into a bloody man, Ni Xin ordered the thugs to temporarily stop the torture, the thugs took out the cloth stuffed in Shao Dongshu's mouth, Ni Xin asked, "How is it?" What does it taste like? Would you like to say something to me? ”

Although on the verge of collapse, Shao Dongshu did not dare to admit the crime of killing his head, he gasped for breath, and replied: "I really just acted on orders, and over the years, the Nanjing government has also contacted Chongqing through public channels or private channels, I am Zhou Fohai's subordinate, he has an order, I can't help but do it...... You can believe it, but if you don't believe it, I can't ......."

Tetsuya Kawasaki came in and leaned over to say a few words to Kage Sa Zhenzhao, who got up and said to Ni Xin, "You continue the interrogation, I'll answer the phone." ”

"General, please, come here, tie him to the tiger chair!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Ni Xin returned to the office and said to Ying Zuozhenzhao: "Shao Dongshu confessed, saying that his wife's uncle was in Chongqing, and the military commander found him through this person. ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao replied: "This level of confidentiality data, as long as Shao Dongshu pays attention, it can be obtained. Ni Sang, do you think it's a trick? Or is it true? ”

Ni Xin replied honestly: "It's hard to say, there are two possibilities." ”

"At present, the evidence is insufficient to accuse Zhou Fohai, so it is better to let Shao Dongshu carry the charges first, set up a secret team, monitor Zhou Fohai and the people around him, and see if there is anything to gain."

"What the general said is true, but his subordinates are worried that if Zhou Fohai does collude with the Chongqing government in private, will he cut off all relations with Chongqing after this incident?"

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao replied: "No, of course Zhou Fohai will have this kind of thought, it is easy to get on a thief ship and get into a thief ship, and the Chongqing government will not let him go, unless he is innocent, otherwise as long as we have enough patience, we will definitely be able to catch his feet." ”

Ni Xin nodded and replied, "It makes sense, and my subordinates will start arranging it immediately." ”

"I'm going to Nanjing overnight, and you're solely responsible for what happens here. The investigation of the internal undercover agent of No. 76, as well as the handling of Zhang Zhan, cannot be delayed any longer. ”

"Yes, don't worry, General."

At three o'clock in the afternoon of June 1, in the military command base area, Zhou Chengbin saw Zhang Chi who came from Shanghai, and Zhang Chi reported: "I met Liu Zezhi, his torture trauma has improved, and I heard him say that the palpitations and atrial fibrillation caused by electrocution have also been slightly relieved, but the conditions of that secret room are too poor, and he has been infected with eczema again." Ge Jiapeng was ordered to command the various action groups in Shanghai, and I left Sun Dongsheng behind and ordered him to find an opportunity to transfer Liu Zezhi to the base area in the next few days. ”

"It's a good job, Ze didn't come back for a day, and my heart always can't let go. The bureau headquarters sent a secret telegram: ordered Zhang Zhan to remain silent. ”

Zhang Chi replied: "Of course, Zhang Zhan can only remain silent, although Gao Rui sent information: Ni Xin held a banquet at home, and Zhang Zhan was among the seven or eight guests invited, and he should have preliminarily passed the screening, but Ni Xin and I both know him, and he is suspicious by nature." Zhang Zhan's gaining his trust was not something that could be done overnight. ”

"Be silent...... It's not enough, and we don't have time to wait, we have lost the cooperation of the internal line, and the Shanghai branch is struggling, I want to give Ni Xin a big gift through his hand. ”

Zhang Chi replied: "Big gift? How to send? In the recent series of operations, according to the information we currently have: Tang Jitian, Wang Defu and other four people died, except for Lin Shirong, the whereabouts of the two wounded and Xie Wei are unknown, it is estimated that ......"

"Let me think about it. Mr. Mao ordered Liu Zezhi to return to Chongqing as soon as his physical condition improved. ”

Zhang Chi said again: "Why don't you leave him in the Shanghai Branch?" Liu Zezhi grew up in Shanghai and is familiar with No. 76, so it won't be that there is no suitable place to place it, right? That's easy to do, I'll let Xian, hey, I'm serious. ”

Zhou Chengbin said: "Nonsense! Is it also possible to confer and receive positions privately? Then he sighed and said: "Mr. Mao has his own considerations, maybe he needs such a person by his side, maybe there is a more suitable position, let's not guess." ”

"Also, by the way, Liu Zezhi also asked me to bring you back a box of Yibo Stop, a total of only two boxes were grabbed from No. 76, these days he used half a box and kept half a box. I thought that since you were poisoned, my body has not recovered, so I listened to him and took it back. ”

Zhou Chengbin sighed: "No matter how bad my health is, compared to the current Liu Zezhi, it is much better, so let's put it here first, and when he comes, leave it for him." By the way, Zhang Chi, how did Zhou Fohai manage to let Wan Lilang come forward to cover him? As far as I know, Wan Lilang is a hardcore traitor and has nothing to do with Chongqing. ”

It is precisely because he is a hardcore traitor that his words can be trusted. I secretly met Zhou Fohai, handed over the amnesty order to him, and promised not to take the initiative to contact him from now on, he was relieved, he said that he found Wan Lilang, said that Shao Dongshu was arrested by No. 76, he has always suspected that this person is fornicating with the military commander, and he does not dare to investigate publicly because of his face, only in a private secret investigation, who knows that something happened before the evidence is found, for fear that he will be implicated by the Japanese suspicion, because Wan Lilang is nominally the boss of No. 76, and asked him to help cover up. You know, these two people have a close relationship, Zhou Fohai is in a high position, and it is impossible for Wanlilang not to do this favor. ”

Zhou Chengbin replied: "That's good, although I despise this person's character, but there is such a person in the top of Wang's puppet government who has two boats on his feet, which is only good for the overall situation." ”
