Hou Liang's torture was all carried out under the auspices of Dai Li and Weng Bailing. Later Hou Liang rebelled. Although his woman and children did not suffer, he suffered deeply in his heart.
When a person is forced to betray his beliefs, his heart dies. Hou Liang's heart was very complicated after his rebellion.
Hou Liang could not express the hatred he had accumulated towards Dai Li and Weng Bailing, but he could not erase it from his heart, and it was getting deeper and deeper.
Hou Liang felt that there was one person who was different, and that was Lu Ming.
Lu Ming has always played the role of a good person. He has never presided over an interrogation. He often visits Hou Liang and is concerned about Hou Liang's treatment and recovery.
Especially in terms of the placement and treatment of Hou Liang's women and children, they have tried to satisfy them as much as possible without any deductions.
This is like the policeman playing red face and white face. Although the criminals know that they are in the same group, they will still feel good or even grateful to the gentle one and bear grudge against the cruel one.
Dai Li asked about Ning Xiner's condition by the way, and Lu Ming told him that his condition was not recovering well and that he planned to go to the United States for treatment in the near future.
Dai Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is really a rich man. He just went to the United States for treatment. He was too willful.
Ozawa Seigoro has been in a state of collapse recently.
When he learned that the Minister of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Command jointly issued an order to release Ning Xiner, he knew that his road was dead.
It was in this state of despair and near collapse that he brutally raped Ning Xiner more than once to vent his unspeakable evil fire.
If a Japanese military policeman who still had some humanity didn't think he was going too far and stopped him, maybe Ning Xiner would have died at his hands.
When the gendarmerie captain learned about this situation, he was frightened to death, because the order from above had been issued. If Ning Xiner had an accident at this time and died in the gendarmerie prison, he would not be able to escape the trial of the military court.
The military police captain ignored his friendship with his brother and immediately expelled Ozawa Seigoro from the military camp, no longer allowing him to enter, and kicked him hard before leaving.
Ozawa felt that his life was over, and he also understood why his brother refused to return to China and committed suicide in Shanghai in grief and anger.
"Lu Ming, I'm going to kill you." He held a wine bottle every day, took a sip from time to time, and then kept cursing and scolding Lu Ming in the air.
The members of the Manchuria Railway Action Team thought he had a mental problem and kept a distance from him, looking at him with both pity and resentment in their eyes.
If it hadn't been for his wanton behavior, the matter would not have developed to such a serious level, and Mantetsu's reputation would not have suffered such a great loss.
Now a group of people from top to bottom have been implicated in this matter and have been punished to varying degrees.
Only Yu Ying'er remained loyal to Ozawa, always taking care of him and comforting him, just like she did to his brother.
"Ozawa-kun, please cheer up and don't get depressed because of this little thing. You are just returning to China to take up a post, and so am I. We can start all over again, and there will be a chance to return to China in the future."
Yu Ying'er was worried that Ozawa would follow the same path as his brother and end his life by committing suicide, so she kept an eye on him every day to help him get through this disaster.
Ozawa occasionally regained consciousness in his madness. He was unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to fight stubbornly before returning to China, because he knew that anyone who failed to perform a mission abroad would end up very miserable after returning home.
Once upon a time, he also cursed those who returned home after failure as trash and a disgrace to the empire. Now he has become this type of person.
"Why do you think we failed?" Ozawa muttered, drunk.
"We let the Chinese fool us into this matter. It was a trap from the beginning." Yu Ying'er sighed.
After releasing Ning Xiner, Yu Ying'er reflected on the matter from beginning to end and felt that it was a mistake to agree to cooperate with Dai Li, let alone accept his commission to kidnap Ning Xiner.
But having said that, who knew that kidnapping a Chinese would cause such an uproar, and finally alert Yu Ting.
They always think that the Japanese have privileges in China, and kidnapping is no big deal. As long as they don't kill anyone, it's not a crime. Besides, they have ample excuses. They kidnapped Ning Xiner to solve the arms theft case.
Of course, the most fundamental thing is to take revenge on Lu Ming.
But the result was that it completely missed the target, and it was a complete game of oneself, and this bloody misfortune took over.
For a while, Yu Ying'er even thought of smashing the pot and shaking off Dai Li's commission. But in that case, the joint anti-communist treaty signed between them would be made public. It was a shady secret agreement.
Fighting the Communist Party together with the Chinese people is a national policy set by the government and the military, and no one will be tolerated to undermine it. Therefore, even if Yu Ying'er hates Dai Li, we still have to keep this secret together.
This time she didn't particularly hate Lu Ming, or she still hated him, but her first feeling was gone and replaced by deep fear.
Yu Ying'er didn't expect that even the Republic of China government would surrender in the end, but Lu Ming alone could turn the situation around in a few days, completely defeating them and losing all their money.
"Ozawa-kun, when will you return to China? We should also make some preparations." Yu Ying'er asked.
Originally, she was supposed to return to Japan, but she was worried about Ozawa staying alone in Shanghai, so she postponed it.
Ozawa should have returned to China long ago to report on his work, but he has been delaying it, hoping to get through the link and continue to stay in Shanghai through some connections. He always feels that he cannot just go back.
"If I don't go back, I will die in Shanghai, keeping company with my brother." Ozawa shouted drunkenly.
What he didn't expect was that his drunken words turned out to be a prophecy, and he really went to keep company with his brother.
After the restoration of order in Shanghai, the Japanese restaurant in the public concession resumed normal business. Here, Kenta's favorite grilled eel and caviar from Hokkaido are available.
Lu Ming specially asked Qian Tian to come out and meet him here. The two had a great conversation.
After chatting for a while, Lu Ming suddenly asked: "Mr. Qiantian, I want to ask you about the situation. If the Japanese Concession is suddenly closed due to an emergency, can you come out while driving the consulate's car?"
"Lu Sang, what do you want to do?" Qiantian asked, squinting his eyes.
In fact, Qian Tian knew it since he received the call from Lu Ming asking him to have a drink, and Lu Ming became restless again.
Before that, Lu Ming had entrusted him to find killers in Japan to kill two soldiers. At that time, he knew that Lu Ming would never let anyone involved in kidnapping Ning Xiner go.
"Just do something a man wants to do, haha." Lu Ming joked.
"Lu Sang, as far as I know, you have many girlfriends, but when did you become interested in Japanese girls? Why didn't I see it?" Qian Tian also teased.
"Well, after a man has done what he wants to do, he is afraid that he will be trapped in the Japanese concession and cannot get out. You Japanese treat everyone as thieves and you will die."
After Lu Ming joked for a while, he didn't hide anything and told the truth.
Qiantian didn't feel much about the kidnappers Lu Ming wanted to kill, but he felt that they were all pests of Japan. If they were allowed to do evil, they would kill Japan sooner or later.
"If I am driving, of course I can come out, but if someone with a real face is sitting in the car, it is hard to say. It is better for the police to be on duty. Once the military police are dispatched, they must be carefully inspected." Qiantian thought for a while.
said.
"Well, I'm just asking. This time is different from last time. You can't participate." Lu Ming shook his head.
Last time, it was Yukenda's cooperation that successfully kidnapped Seishiro Ozawa and several other Manchurian agents in the Japanese Concession. But this time it was different. It was not a secret kidnapping, but a public execution.
"I can enter the Japanese concession first. If you act quickly, I may be able to get you out before the military police arrive to block the entrance and exit." Qian Tian said.
Under normal circumstances, the Japanese Concession is guarded by the police. Only in special circumstances, such as when a Japanese dignitary enters the Concession or a major case occurs in the Concession, the military police will be dispatched to block the roads and close the entrance and exit of the Japanese Concession.
"No, I said, you can't get involved in this matter, I can't drag down your friend." Lu Ming said.
"Lu Sang, I respect your opinion and try not to get involved in this matter. Let's do this. I have a house in the Japanese Concession, which is still vacant. I will occasionally stay there for two days during my break. If by any chance you are trapped in the Concession,
You can go and hide in my house, they usually won't search my house," Qian Tian said.
Qiantian asked the store owner for paper and pen, wrote down the street and house number where his residence was located, handed it to Lu Ming, and told Lu Ming that the key was under a flower pot in front of the door.
Lu Ming shook his head. Instead of hiding in Qiantian's house, it would be better to hide in Yan Hongdao's house. The Japanese would not easily enter Yan's house to search.
But Lu Ming didn't want to go to this point. He still thought about how to quickly evacuate the Japanese Concession instead of being trapped inside.
"Lu Sang, whatever you want to do, just do it boldly. Wait until it happens. There will always be a way." Qiantian laughed and raised his glass.
"You're right, I worry too much." Lu Ming also smiled and raised his glass to toast him.
