Facing the interrogation of the Japanese agents, Zheng Tonghui's answer was a firm denial, and he firmly refused to identify Chen Mingxiang as an agent of the Military Command Bureau who had been passing on Japanese military intelligence to the underground party. However, the Japanese agents adopted a conventional method, which was to torture!
The tiger bench, flogging, branding iron, electric chair, all the instruments of torture in the interrogation room were all used on Zheng Tonghui. Accompanied by the pungent smell and extremely miserable shouts, Zheng Tonghui fainted four times in the morning, but he did not get a confession.
.
"It seems that we met that special character this time. He withstood the torture. For such a person, unless you break through his mental defense, it will be difficult to achieve your goal!" The interrogating agent shook his head and said.
"Then forge a confession, put fingerprints on it, and then continue to torture him until he can't speak or write. I can't wait too long, otherwise this matter may change. Tomorrow night, I will
They will trap Chen Mingxiang, so you must be prepared." Bei Zeping said.
Why trap Chen Mingxiang at night?
That's because at night, when the big shots rest, it's also the easiest environment to cover up. You can secretly arrest and interrogate a lot, and you can do a lot in one night.
"But without Zheng Tonghui's identification, the evidence against Chen Mingxiang seems a little thin and not convincing enough?" the action team leader said.
"Based on this information and Zheng Tonghui's confession, if I had over-exercised him and accidentally caused his death, no one would have found out the problem."
"The ideal situation is to get Chen Mingxiang to confess through interrogation. I doubt that a person like him will be able to withstand even the slightest instrument of torture. As long as he signs, he will be executed immediately."
"If he refuses to admit it during the torture, and the matter is discovered by the gendarmerie headquarters, then kill him directly without giving him any chance to make a comeback." Kitazawa thought for a while and said.
"But our relationship with Chen Mingxiang is not good, how can we fish him out?" asked the leader of the operation team.
If you want to call Chen Mingxiang out for dinner, you must be a person of sufficient weight, and you must be able to keep the secret so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion.
The intelligence team of Mei's agency was in an embarrassing situation, with no point of leverage at all. They couldn't afford to hire military generals in Shanghai, and they were worried about problems.
"I will ask President Hirano of the Dahu Gas Association to come forward and invite him to a Hongkou restaurant for dinner tomorrow night in the name of Lianmei Hao and Yuchang Coal Company to discuss the supply of briquettes. We will bring him to a secret detention point there.
This will not arouse suspicion." Kitazawa said helplessly.
The Japanese chaebol's coal company had more than half of its share in the Shanghai stock market taken away by Chen Mingxiang. There is no doubt about their hatred for Chen Mingxiang. It is also in their interests to find an excuse to deceive Chen Mingxiang.
Chen Mingxiang tossed and turned all night before getting a little sleep. He was so anxious now that he couldn't think of any way. Not to mention that he didn't have a channel to contact the underground party. Even if he did, it wouldn't have any effect. He couldn't do this kind of thing.
It can't be done, let alone the underground party.
Until the afternoon of the next day, when he was at home and at his wits' end, he suddenly received a call from President Hirano of the Dahu City Gas Club, saying that he would be invited to dinner at seven o'clock in the evening and to discuss the supply of briquettes.
things.
In the past, Chen Mingxiang would not have suspected it, but now, he knew it was a trap as soon as he heard it. Although there was no evidence, he just felt that the conspiracy was about to be implemented.
"How are you going to do this? Bei Zeping has murderous intentions towards you. If it's too late, I'm worried there will be great danger!" Wang Zhen said.
She was naturally worried about Chen Mingxiang's safety, and she was also afraid that Bei Zeping would kill Chen Mingxiang at all costs. No matter how many connections and strategies, no one could achieve a seamless arrangement.
"This kind of thing was instigated by Kitazawa Ping. I don't need to make any elaborate plans at all. Since the meal is in Hongkou, just tell Colonel Ono directly. The Marine Corps will naturally arrange it, and then the Military Police will
If you know, the Thirteenth Army Headquarters will know, and the Consulate General in Shanghai will also know."
"He took a completely wrong path, which is to complicate a simple thing. If it were me, I would just have to make perjury and kill people, and then explain the process to all parties. Even if people are dead, that's not the case.
just saying?"
"As for Bei Zeping, he was worried about my identity and insisted on creating some evidence link. He also implicated the North China Front Army Headquarters in this matter. The so-called evidence he created actually dug a big hole for him.
A pit, a big pit that you can’t get back out of if you fall into it.”
"A particularly complex design will put myself in danger. I can't risk my life to compete with a lunatic like Kitazawa. His strategy and courage are far inferior to those of Nanzo Yunzi."
"People do things first and talk later, but there is something wrong with their way of thinking." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He would not play tricks with a Japanese agent like Kitazawahira who has extreme thinking. If he doesn't play well, he will be involved in it. How unfair that would be!
The simplest way is to directly ask the Marine Corps to block the Hongkou intersection, then stop Bei Zeping's car, and accompany them to a secret detention point to make the matter bigger.
Three old friends in the Marine Corps Command are currently simmering with anger over the disastrous defeat of the Japanese Navy and are looking for a place to vent their anger. This is a good opportunity.
And he could fully imagine how the gendarmerie people would be furious after receiving the call. This was contempt for the gendarmerie's authority and a slap in the face, which was absolutely unacceptable.
"I will ask the bodyguards to ambush at the intersection outside Hongkou. If the Marine Corps fails to stop Bei Zeping, they will concentrate on rescuing you. Although it is dangerous, your safety comes first." Wang
True said.
"That's okay. Let the bodyguards prepare a few more vehicles and block the road directly. If the opponent dares to break through the Marine Corps blockade, they can set up light and heavy machine guns."
"Don't we have sniper rifles? If we kill the driver and blow out the tires, he is a lunatic, so I am crazier than him. As the Chief of Police, I can still handle this!" Chen Mingxiang said.
"But I always feel a little uneasy. It's not safe enough for you to contact Bei Zeping directly. Things always change as planned!" Wang Zhen said worriedly. Of course she was worried that her man was going to be involved in danger.
"No arrangement is perfect, and everyone is afraid of death. But since we have chosen to join the Military Command Bureau and fight in the most dangerous environment for the fate of the country and nation, we should have been prepared for this long ago."
"I'm not very noble, but I understand one thing. If everyone shrinks because they are afraid of death, who will protect our brothers and sisters, who will protect our fathers and fellow villagers?" Chen Mingxiang said.
