Chapter 1916: Capture
"Who is coming?" Li Cuiqun asked.
“The leader of the team is Shogo Onodera,” Zhang Lu said.
“It’s him?” Li Cuiqun raised an eyebrow.
Shogo Onodera is an old acquaintance; they had dealt with each other when they were in Qingdao.
When a member of the Japanese royal family died in Qingdao, many people were implicated, but Onodera Shogo unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune and was "exiled" from Qingdao to the Shanghai Military Police.
"Bring them in," Li Cuiqun said to Zhang Lu, "so that the Japanese can also see these great heroes who have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion."
"Director, I think they seem to have ill intentions," Zhang Lu said in a low voice.
They quickly stopped the director's boastful behavior. If a conflict were to break out with the Japanese in front of so many subordinates, and most importantly, if the Japanese were to embarrass the director, that would be disastrous.
"Please invite them to the reception room. I'll be there shortly," Li Cuiqun said after a moment's thought.
"clear."
……
"Director Li, it's quite lively here today." Onodera Shogo smiled and shook hands with Li Cuiqun. "I'm delighted to hear that the Special Agent Headquarters has achieved remarkable results against the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai District. Congratulations!"
"I was just doing my job," Li Cuiqun said with a laugh. "It's all thanks to Mr. Wang's wise leadership and the capable work of his subordinates."
He glanced at Shogo Onodera and added, "Of course, there's also the strong support from friendly nations."
Shogo Onodera snorted coldly.
In a sense, the Special Agent Headquarters' operations in the Shanghai area were kept secret from the Military Police.
Or rather, Number 76 used a little trick, waiting until everything was done before sending an operation report to the military police. He only saw the operation file that Number 76 had sent to the military police headquarters when he set off for here just now, and only then did he have a clear understanding of Number 76's comprehensive operation against the Shanghai area.
To be precise, the series of actions taken by the Gesfield Road team this time were suspected of being kept secret from the Empire. Even when No. 76 arrested Yao Changgen, requiring the military police to send personnel to escort them into the French Concession for the arrest, No. 76 did not reveal the truth to the military police at that time, but instead gave perfunctory answers, as if they were afraid that the military police would find out the purpose of their actions.
It's fair to say that at this moment, seeing Li Cuiqun's smug face, Onodera Shogo felt extremely uncomfortable.
……
“Mr. Onodera, are you joking?” Li Cuiqun’s face darkened.
"Director Li, do I look like I'm joking?" Onodera Shogo sneered. "Or rather, do you think an officer of the Great Japanese Empire would have the leisure to make such jokes with friends of the Empire!"
Li Cuiqun fell silent.
He never expected that on this joyous day, the Japanese would come knocking on his door, only to arrest him again.
“Mr. Onodera, I have reviewed the evidence you provided. Based on this evidence alone, it can only prove that Jia Fugui may be involved in the case, but it is not enough to prove that Hu Sishui is involved,” Li Cuiqun said after thinking for a moment.
Shogo Onodera frowned.
“It’s not that I’m protecting my subordinates, it’s just that we’re catching thieves red-handed and catching adulterers in the act,” Li Cuiqun said. “If Hu Sishui is involved in the case, I will arrest him first. However, the current evidence only shows that Jia Fugui may be involved. If we’re going to arrest someone, I can only hand Jia Fugui over to you at most.”
After a moment's thought, Onodera Shogo nodded. "Alright, then please have Director Li hand Jia Fugui over to us."
"Wait a moment, I'll go get him." Li Cuiqun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said.
……
Hu Sishui, who was drinking alone in silence, was called out and brought to the courtyard to meet Li Cuiqun.
"Director, you called me." Hu Sishui hiccuped, then looked around, found a quiet corner, and urinated.
He didn't notice that under the cover of night, Li Cuiqun's already unpleasant expression had become even more gloomy.
“The Japanese vehicles transporting gold were robbed on Sichuan Road,” Li Cuiqun said.
"Hmm, I've heard about it," Hu Sishui said. "These guys are incredibly audacious; they even dared to steal the Japanese's gold."
“Yes, that’s incredibly audacious.” Li Cuiqun said, staring at Hu Sishui.
……
"Director, what do you mean by this?" Hu Sishui was stunned for a moment, then seemed to come to his senses and immediately protested, "Director, are you doubting me?"
"Not you?"
"Heaven and earth bear witness, Director, ever since what happened last time, you told me to be honest, and I have been honest." Hu Sishui cursed and swore, "If Sishui has uttered even half a lie, may I be struck by lightning."
"Alright, I was just asking," Li Cuiqun said irritably. "I was just worried you might get confused and take the wrong turn."
"Following the director, you'll always be on the right path, you can't go wrong," Hu Sishui chuckled and said.
“Based on the driver’s identification, the Japanese recognized that your subordinate Jia Fugui was involved in the case,” Li Cuiqun suddenly said.
"How could this be?" Hu Sishui exclaimed in shock. "Jia Fugui is an honest and law-abiding man. The Japanese must have made a mistake."
“Then go and tell the Japanese that they’ve made a mistake,” Li Cuiqun said.
Hu Sishui remained silent, not daring to speak.
……
“The Japanese are waiting to hand over the person. Go find Jia Fugui now and bring him over to the Japanese,” Li Cuiqun said.
"Alright." Hu Sishui gritted his teeth. "Anyway, I have nothing to fear if I'm upright. I'll go find that guy Jia Fugui right now."
“I said, hand over the people, living people, intact, to the Japanese,” Li Cuiqun said coldly. “Don’t think about anything else.”
"Director, I didn't do it. How could I possibly do such a thing?" Hu Sishui said.
“That would be best,” Li Cuiqun nodded and said.
……
Jia Fugui was stunned.
When he heard that the captain was going to hand him over to the Japanese, he trembled with fear.
"Captain, I, I..."
"Don't worry, the Japanese are just going through the motions," Hu Sishui reassured him. "Besides, I'll ask Director Li to help you find a solution."
"Well, okay then." Jia Fugui knew he had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
“Wealth and prosperity,” Hu Sishui said.
"team leader."
"When you're in the hands of the Japanese, you need to know what you should and shouldn't say," Hu Sishui said.
Jia Fugui fell silent. He had never seen what the Japanese military police's interrogation room looked like, but he was all too familiar with the horrific scene in the No. 76 interrogation room. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became.
"Fugui, don't worry." Hu Sishui patted Jia Fugui on the shoulder. "I'll take care of things at home for you."
Jia Fugui was startled, and a look of gratitude appeared on his face. "Thank you, Captain."
