When Shanghai was in chaos, Lu Ming took the opportunity and Ning Zetao drove straight to Jiaxing at dawn the next morning and met An Gonggen.
When An Gonggen saw Lu Ming and Ning Zetao, he smiled bitterly. He had used various methods these days, but the two Japanese really had the spirit of Bushido and refused to say anything.
An Gonggen used all the torture techniques he was good at, but still failed to obtain a valuable confession.
"Just kill them. The matter has reached this point. It doesn't matter whether they have confessions or not," Ning Zetao said.
Lu Ming also looked helpless, but he didn't give up. He wanted to try again.
Ozawa Seigoro's arrogant rejection of the hostage exchange plan proposed by Yan Hongdao was completely beyond Lu Ming's expectations.
This shows that Seigoro Ozawa is a man who will not give up even when he sees the Yellow River, nor shed tears when he sees a coffin.
Strategically speaking, Lu Ming is actually not afraid of this kind of person, who lacks strategy and foresight and carries wood in the alley - going straight, but this kind of leverage can also cause trouble.
Judging from the situation when Yan Hongdao went to Manchuria Railway to submit a protest letter, the Japanese no longer concealed the fact that they kidnapped Ning Xiner and planned to break the pot.
Therefore, the confessions of the two hostages are not so important. These two people are undoubtedly regarded as abandoned by their superiors.
This was what Lu Ming was most worried about. He knew that the Japanese were good at Go, but he didn't expect that what they were best at was abandoning their children. Even if it was his own confidant, he would give up without batting an eye.
Lu Ming and Ning Zetao met Chang Gui Yingzi and Kawaki Rin who had been tortured by An Gonggen and were dying.
Although these two people only had one breath left, the eyes they looked at Lu Ming and Ning Zetao were full of hatred and burning with anger.
"Miss Changgui Yingzi, I heard that you were born into a noble family, but unfortunately you are not welcomed by the Black Dragon Society and Mantetsu. They have given up on you, and even your family is silent. At this time, you are still thinking of doing something for them.
Are you loyal?" Lu Ming smiled.
An Gonggen translated Lu Ming's words into Japanese.
Chang Gui Yingzi spat out bloody spit, rolled her eyes, and said contemptuously: "Kill if you want. We are warriors, and death is the way for us to become gods."
An Gonggen translated her words.
Lu Ming was a little confused. When Chinese people are dying, they just shout "will be a hero again in twenty years" and place their hope in reincarnation, but this fragile-looking female warrior in front of her hopes to become a god after death?
Doesn't the spirit of Bushido encourage people to die? Isn't this almost like a cult?
"People cannot be resurrected after death. You only live once. Death is not the way to become a god. After death, you will become a ghost at most. For example, you may be a lonely ghost and cannot return to Japan." Lu Ming retorted.
Changgui Yingzi just looked at him with disdain, as if looking at a low-level creature, but she herself was a noble and noble species.
Lu Ming had not had much dealings with the Japanese. The Japanese he had the most contact with in the United States was Muto, but Muto was mentally quite normal. If he didn't speak Japanese, he would look no different from Chinese or Koreans.
In addition, the Japanese person he has interacted with the most in the past two years is Kenta. In addition to being an absolute pacifist, Kenta does not have this kind of mental madness.
Lu Ming then persuaded the two men with kind words, saying that as long as they confessed, they would be released immediately back to Shanghai.
The two men were still shouting, they didn't want to live, they just wanted to die.
However, they made a request, which was to provide each of them with a samurai sword. They should commit suicide by caesarean section in accordance with the spirit of Bushido and commit suicide.
Ning Zetao had been listening without interrupting. Finally, he said: "Tomorrow I will fulfill your wishes, but unfortunately not in the way you asked for."
The next morning, Ning Zetao asked people to light two piles of firewood in the yard. On top of them were two large pots filled with tung oil.
In less than half an hour, the oil pan was boiling, and the fire below was still burning brightly.
An Gonggen brought people over, Chang Gui Yingzi and Kawaki Rin, and untied them.
Ning Zetao said to the two of them: "You kidnapped my sister, and you can only repay with your life. Our Cao Gang's method of executing enemies is to put them in a frying pan. I hope you can become gods in the frying pan."
Only then did Lu Ming understand the reason why Ning Zetao prepared these two oil pans. It turned out that he wanted to fry Chang Gui Yingzi and Kawaki Rin.
To be honest, Lu Ming definitely disapproved of this method of executing criminals. He felt that this method was too barbaric and uncivilized. However, he did not object and walked aside, preparing to close his eyes when the two men got out of the frying pan.
Cover your ears and keep silent.
An Gonggen became excited: "Brother Ning, is this really your traditional way?"
Ning Zetao said solemnly: "Of course, this is the tradition of our Caobang for more than a hundred years."
"Okay! This is the only way to deal with little Japan!"
An Gonggen shouted loudly, but he was convinced. He was lucky enough to see this kind of legend today.
No wonder the Cao Gang is not the most powerful gang in Shanghai, but it is feared by everyone. It turns out that they sink people into the Huangpu River to feed the fish, which is considered an extralegal act of kindness.
Seeing the blazing fire and feeling the hot temperature coming from the oil pan, Chang Gui Yingzi, who had been insisting on keeping silent, suddenly collapsed. She collapsed on the ground and shouted not to let her get out of the oil pan.
To confess.
Hearing Sakurako's scream, Kawaki Rin also collapsed. He knelt on the ground and shouted that he wanted to confess, just asking for him to commit suicide in the end. He didn't want to fall into the frying pan.
I don’t know if this is a Japanese custom, people cannot get into the frying pan, but they are scared out of their wits.
Ning Zetao and Lu Ming couldn't help but be stunned. What kind of painting style is this? It just changed.
Ning Zetao set up a large pot to boil oil, not to scare these two people, but to really fry them to avenge his sister, but he did not expect that these two strong warriors actually collapsed.
An Gonggen opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. If he had known that the trick of putting the oil in the pan would work, why wait until now? Hurry up.
An Gonggen brought Changgui Yingzi and Kawaki Rin back to the cell and gave them paper and pens. The two people quickly wrote down the entire story of their kidnapping of Ning Xiner, and finally signed and fingerprinted them.
After all the formalities were completed, Lu Ming took the two pages of confession and said to An Gonggen: "Take a closer look to see if there is anything wrong."
An Gonggen had experience in interrogation. He compared the two confessions and found that there was basically no difference in fact, except that some things were described in different ways.
"I don't think there's a problem. They were really frightened by the frying pan. What they wrote was all true and they weren't being cunning." An Gonggen told Lu Ming truthfully.
These two people were really broken down. The confessions were also written in Chinese, and there were no grammatical errors.
The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, the circumstances are serious, and the nature is bad.
Lu Ming suddenly thought of this familiar and calloused sentence in the court. In fact, it was really hard to come to such a conclusion.
"Give them food and clothes, let them have a good rest, and let them go to meet people in good spirits in two days." Lu Ming ordered An Gonggen's two men.
"Master Lu, how useful can this confession be now?" An Gonggen asked uneasily.
Although the confession was obtained, it was a little late. If the confession had been obtained a few days earlier, the situation might have been better.
Lu Ming sighed: "Of course it is of great use. It can get us more sympathy and support, especially the support of foreign allies."
If this matter really gets serious and China and Japan openly confront each other, these two confessions will certainly play an important role.
Shanghai is in chaos. Not only the Japanese are in a state of embarrassment, but also the major concessions have been greatly affected. Countries such as Britain, the United States, France and Germany have already protested to the city government, asking the Shanghai city government to find ways to restore Shanghai's society as soon as possible.
order.
After Ning Zetao read the confessions of the two men, he became even more furious and shouted: "You little son of a bitch, Japan, I, the Ning family, are sworn in with you. From now on, I will not let a Japanese on the territory of my Cao Gang."
Walk upright."
Lu Ming comforted Ning Zetao for a while, and then said: "With the suspect's confession, things are now in our favor, but Ozawa Seigoro and Yu Ying'er will not repent, so we have to be prepared for further confrontation.
"
Now the Japanese have admitted that they kidnapped Ning Xiner, but they are stubbornly refusing to let her go on the grounds that Ning Xiner is a suspect in the arms theft case.
But they couldn't produce any evidence that Ning Xiner was involved in the arms theft case.
Lu Ming felt that he should have a deep talk with Chang Gui Yingzi and Kawaki Rin. He must dig out the loopholes among the Japanese in order to make a more powerful counterattack.
