Chapter 1525 Secret Investigation
Yizhong Cigarette Factory.
The workers were summoned by the leader and assembled under the guidance of Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition.
"Look everyone, Guan Qide is a Red Party member hiding in the factory."
"This guy is a bad guy with sores on his head and pus on his feet!"
"They actually have ill intentions towards the Empire of Japan!"
"Look, everyone. Red Party member Guan Qide, look, this is what will happen to anyone who has ill intentions towards the Empire of Japan!"
An interpreter wearing small round glasses, with a gun holster slung across his shoulder, shouted while holding a tin horn.
In the crowd, Ji Yanhua desperately grabbed Heidan, whose eyes were red, and said, "Don't move. The Japanese are watching us."
Not only were the workers rounded up, but their families, including children, were also driven here.
Heidan clenched his teeth tightly and hated himself in his heart. He felt that he was the one who killed Uncle Guan. It was he who told Uncle Guan that Xiaomi was greedy and wanted to eat something delicious, so Uncle Guan said he would go out and get some delicious food to bring back today. Unexpectedly, Uncle Guan was killed by the Japanese when he went out today.
……
Looking at Uncle Guan who was being carried on a stretcher by the Japanese and had his stomach cut open, Heidan almost went crazy.
"The Queen Mother has issued an order, calling on everyone to report the Red Party hiding inside the factory." The translator raised a finger, "One Red Party member, ten dollars!"
"Ten dollars, how much rice can you buy? Calculate it yourself!"
Yukisaburo Furutani leaned on his command knife with both hands and swept the crowd with a sinister look. He saw the workers' frightened and hateful eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
For these despicable Chinese, only killing and only fear can make them behave themselves.
He waved his hand and the Japanese military police dragged several men out of the crowd.
These people are co-workers of Kwan Kai-tak.
Ji Yanhua was also among those arrested.
"Why arrest people?"
"Why are you arresting people?"
There was a commotion among the crowd and they tried to stop the Japanese soldiers, but immediately a surveillance camera came and lashed them with a whip.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
The machine gun mounted high up fired a volley of bullets into the air.
"Want to rebel?"
"These people are suspected of colluding with the Red Party!"
"Are you not afraid of death and making trouble again?"
……
Heidan gritted his teeth and was about to rush out to save Uncle Ji. He was not afraid of death, he was not afraid of bullets. He even felt that it would be better to die like this so that he could see his parents and Uncle Guan.
Then, he was stopped in his tracks by Ji Yanhua's gaze.
Ji Yanhua smiled, his eyes swept across the crowd, only lingering on Heidan for a moment, and then turned away.
The gaze lingered for a moment, but it seemed as if there were endless words to say.
In the end, it all comes down to one sentence: You are the eldest brother, take good care of your younger siblings and live well!
Seeing that Heidan was stopped by him, Ji Yanhua felt relieved.
Heidan's parents and the parents of other children were all comrades of the Eighth Route Army from the 65th Regiment of the 5th Detachment of the Shandong Column. They died in last year's anti-mopping-up campaign. The martyrs sacrificed their lives, and nothing must happen to their orphans.
This was the last time Heidan saw Uncle Ji.
……
Japanese Army Hospital in Shanghai.
The hospital is a bit busy today.
Qian Beiyuan Si frowned.
He stopped a doctor and asked.
Just yesterday, a patrol team out of Gusu's Hushuguan was ambushed and attacked by the New Fourth Army guerrillas. Two soldiers of the Locust Army were killed and many soldiers were injured. They are now being transferred to the Army Hospital for treatment.
"The despicable New Fourth Army ambushed us with superior forces." A wounded soldier saluted Chibehara Tsukasa and said with gritted teeth, "However, their losses were even more severe. We killed at least a dozen people. Our reinforcements arrived quickly, and they didn't even have time to take the wounded away."
"Where are the wounded of the New Fourth Army?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked immediately.
If any wounded New Fourth Army soldiers were sent here, he would be interested in interrogating them.
"There are no survivors." The wounded soldier shook his head. "The wounded man detonated the grenade."
Chihohara Tsukasa shook his head regretfully.
Without paying any more attention to the wounded soldier, he led his men straight to the ward where Liao Hua was imprisoned.
……
In the ward.
"The chicken soup with tofu pudding in this restaurant is famous for its deliciousness." Yang Changnian said to Hirai Rinyuta and Mitsui Shigesaburo while sipping tofu pudding.
The two of them were also drinking tofu pudding, eating fragrant fried cakes, and nodding from time to time.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Hirai Rinyuta immediately stood up and looked over alertly.
Yang Changnian also quickly stood up. Then he saw that it was Chi Kitahara Tsukasa who came in with a serious expression. He quickly pulled Mitsui Shigesaburo who was still eating and drinking.
Mitsui Shigesaburo looked up and saw that it was Sen Kitahara Tsukasa. He quickly put down the oil cake in his hand, stood up uneasily and stood at attention.
Chihohara Tsukasa snorted.
He ignored his two men and walked straight to Liao Hua's bed.
"Didn't you say you've woken up?" Chibehara Si asked with a frown.
"Taijun, the patient woke up once, but the situation is not optimistic." Yang Changnian said quickly, "The patient's consciousness is not very clear yet, and he is still in a coma most of the time."
He was worried that Qian Beiyuan would hold him accountable, so he quickly explained, "Taijun, two days. The patient should be able to wake up in two days, and we can continue to interrogate and torture him."
"If torture is used in two days, will this person die?" asked Chibehara Tsukasa.
"Ah?" Yang Changnian was stunned. He remembered that Qian Beiyuan Si was only concerned about whether torture could be used, and did not care about Liao Hua's life or death after the torture.
"Answer me." Qian Beiyuan Si snorted coldly.
"There's a high probability that he will die." Yang Changnian swallowed and said.
Chihohara nodded to a military doctor, "Please ask Miyaguchi-kun to check the patient and confirm it."
Military doctor Gongkou nodded and walked forward to examine Liao Hua carefully.
"The patient's physical condition is very bad. If he is interrogated rashly, he will most likely die suddenly." said military doctor Miyaguchi.
"Thank you." Qian Beiyuan Si nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
The military doctor also nodded and left immediately.
Even they are not willing to have much dealings with the special agencies.
"You three, follow me out." Qian Beiyuan Si said coldly.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing where they had made a mistake, and had no choice but to follow Qian Beiyuan Si out obediently.
Qian Beiyuan Si waved his hand, and two soldiers stayed in the ward to guard it, and a sentry was also placed outside the ward.
Chihohara Tsukasa temporarily requisitioned an empty ward and ordered his men to bring in Hiraiwa Yuta.
Outside the ward, Yang Changnian and Mitsui Shigesaburo, who were controlled by the soldiers, looked at each other. They were both a little nervous, not knowing what had happened.
……
Chihohara Tsukasa didn't say anything, but just looked at Hirai Rin Yuta coldly.
Hirai Rinyuta didn't dare to breathe and stood at attention.
Chihohara Tsukasa was in a bad mood.
Just an hour ago, he received an urgent telegram from Qingdao.
The Qingdao gendarmerie headquarters captured a Red Party member and found information from him that Liao Hua had been taken to Shanghai for interrogation.
Chai Yangshi, chief of the security room of the Qingdao Gendarmerie Command, clearly pointed out in the telegram that they highly suspected that the intelligence was leaked from Shanghai, and then the Red Party in Shanghai reported it to the higher-ups. Then the intelligence was telegraphed to the Red Party in the north by the high-level Red Party in the south, and then the Red Party in the north passed the intelligence from top to bottom to the local Red Party in Qingdao.
The information was leaked, which made Chibehara Tsukasa furious.
Then, his first reaction was that Qingdao was shirking responsibility, and the source of the intelligence leak might also be Qingdao!
However, Shibayama Yoshida seemed to have anticipated Chikitarahara's reaction in the telegram. He carefully analyzed and explained the basis for their conclusion that the source of the intelligence leak was Shanghai.
Although Qian Beiyuan Si was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that Qingdao's analysis was well-founded.
Qian Beiyuan Si analyzed carefully. If Liao Hua's information in Shanghai was leaked from Shanghai, he had two directions of investigation.
One is the interior of the Special High Section, or more precisely, the interrogation room of the Special High Section.
Since Liao Hua was escorted to Shanghai, he was secretly detained in the interrogation room for interrogation. Even many people within the Special High Police did not know the existence of such a prisoner.
The telegram was sent directly from Qingdao to the Special High Section's Telecommunications Research Laboratory and was personally delivered by Kenji Nohara to Section Chief Mitsumoto Jiro.
Then, Mitsumoto called him over.
Chikitahara Tsukasa and Mimotojiro conducted a preliminary analysis, and both believed that there was a problem within the Special High Police, or more precisely, the possibility of a leak within the Special High Police's interrogation room was extremely low.
Hirai Shinji, who was in charge of the interrogation, swore to heaven in front of the portrait of Zeng Huang that there would never be any leak of secrets inside the interrogation room. He was always keeping an eye on the interrogation of Liao Hua and there would definitely be no problems.
Therefore, both Mimotojiro and Chikitara Tsukasa agreed that the leak was most likely caused by the Army Hospital.
Compared to the strict discipline within the Special High Police and the agents' strong habit of keeping secrets, problems are indeed more likely to occur at the hospital.
Hirai Rinyuta and Mitsui Shigesaburo, who were responsible for guarding Liao Hua, and Shi Lei, who was responsible for taking care of Liao Hua, were the three people who were the first to be suspected by Chikitara Tsukasa.
The reason is very direct. According to the Red Party intelligence obtained by Qingdao, the name "Liao Hua" was clearly mentioned in the Red Party's intelligence. This is very important information and is very directional.
Even if there were underground members of the Red Party lurking in the hospital, and even if they knew that there were prisoners from the Special High Section being treated in the hospital, not to mention that it would be difficult for them to contact Liao Hua, it would be even more impossible for them to know Liao Hua's name.
Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, the name "Liao Hua" was leaked from the inside, that is, from the mouths of Hirai Rinyuta, Mitsui Shigesaburo and Shi Lei.
In comparison, Chihohara Tsukasa naturally trusts Hirai Rinyuta and Mitsui Shigesaburo more. The possibility of the Imperial agents collaborating with the enemy is extremely low.
But Shi Lei is different. He was originally from the Central Bureau of Investigation. He was arrested and tortured before surrendering. Although he seems to be loyal to the empire, once there is a similar leak, this kind of person will naturally be the first to be suspected.
However, new problems arise:
Shi Lei didn't know the prisoner's name.
Therefore, Chi Kitahara Tsukasa first interrogated Hirai Rinyuta. He first had to identify and eliminate Hirai Rinyuta's suspicion, and then he had to confirm one thing from Hirai Rinyuta, that is, whether Hirai Rinyuta and Mitsui Shigesaburo were negligent and inadvertently leaked Liao Hua's name to Shi Lei.
……
"The Red Party has already mastered Liao Hua's intelligence in Shanghai." Chi Kitahara Tsukasa sat on a chair and said to Hirai Rin Yuta.
Looking at Chikitara Tsukasa's scrutinizing gaze and the posture of this one-on-one interrogation, Hirai Rin Yuta immediately understood his situation.
Information leaked!
This person has been listed as a suspect by Chief Qianbei.
In other words, even if Chihohara Tsukasa did not explicitly suspect him, he must have suspected that the information leak came from the hospital.
"Sir, do you suspect that the information was leaked from the hospital?" Hirai Rinyuta asked cautiously.
"What do you think?" Chibehara asked, "Tell me the truth and tell me whether the information leak has anything to do with you."
He looked at Hiraiwa Yuta deeply and said, "Tell the truth."
Hiraiwa Yuta did not answer immediately.
He kept in mind Hirai Shinji's instructions that his superior, Sen Kitahara Tsukasa, was very suspicious and paid attention to details. When Sen Kitahara Tsukasa asked questions, he should not answer blindly but think carefully before replying.
Hiraiwa Yuta carefully recalled the situation in the hospital these days. After confirming that there was no problem on his side, he replied, "Sir, I just carefully recalled the situation after arriving at the hospital, and I did not find any possibility of information leakage."
Then he added, "What I meant is that I have always been very cautious and careful, and I have not discovered any problems that may have occurred to me."
"Think it over before answering me." Chihohara looked at Hirai Rin Yuta deeply, "If the information was leaked due to negligence, I will consider it for the sake of your past achievements. However, if you lied to shirk responsibility——"
His expression suddenly became stern, "You understand the consequences."
"Sir, everything I say is true. I dare not hide anything." Hirai Rin Yuta said, "I know the consequences of concealing the truth."
He was afraid that Qian Beiyuan Si would not believe him, so he quickly added, "Brother Xinci repeatedly told me that I must be loyal to my duties and be absolutely loyal to Chief Qian Bei."
Hearing what Hirai Rinyuta said, Chikitara Tsukasa nodded slightly. Hirai Shinji's loyalty to him was beyond doubt. Hirai Rinyuta was a loyal man carefully selected by Hirai Shinji, and he tended to agree with this.
This is also the reason why he did not interrogate Mitsui Shigesaburo first, but interrogated Hirai Rinyuta first. Hirai Rinyuta was more trustworthy, and he wanted to eliminate Hirai Rinyuta's suspicion first:
It is impossible for all three of them to make mistakes and have problems. He must first identify one person who has no problems, and then he can conduct a more accurate investigation.
……
"The name 'Liao Hua' is highly confidential." Qian Beiyuan Si asked again, "Think carefully, have you ever accidentally leaked the name?"
"Captain, are you suspicious of Shi Lei?" Hirai Rinyuta reacted quickly and immediately understood what Chikitarahara meant and asked.
