After a group of Japanese traitors entered the city hall, they immediately came to the conference room and began to discuss the matter.
Originally, according to Shen Jiemin's idea, he would entertain a few people from Changchun first, but Lu Shunzhang wanted to hold a meeting first, and his attitude was very determined.
Shan Wenduo on the side didn't care about this matter, but he still listened to Lu Shunzhang's suggestion, so these people went straight to the topic without any delay.
In the conference room, Lu Shunzhang spoke first: "Colonel Hirata, you said there is no secret behind this matter, so please explain it."
Lu Shunzhang's tone was very unhappy, mixed with a lot of anger, and was used to express dissatisfaction.
Hirata Nagayama didn't care about Lu Shunzhang's tone. In this Japanese devil's heart, venting dissatisfaction was just a sign of weakness, so he said calmly: "Don't worry Lu Zhongtang, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation for this matter."
After finishing speaking, Hirata Yongshan repeated what Xiao Zhanyuan said, and finally said to Lu Shunzhang: "The truth of the matter is like this, that's why I stopped you from arresting Director Xiao."
After listening to Hirata Nagayama's explanation, several people in the conference room behaved very differently, especially Shen Jiemin, who looked dumbfounded.
In Shen Jiemin's mind, he thought that this incident would definitely kill Xiao Zhanyuan, but he did not expect that the Japanese found this excuse, and things took a turn for the better.
Although Shen Jiemin did not believe this reason, this traitor knew that the Japanese had the final say in Northeast China. As long as the Japanese insisted on this statement, the Puppet Manchukuo had no choice but to find conclusive evidence.
Lu Shunzhang on the side also showed a very surprised expression. After all, these words were full of loopholes, so he said excitedly: "Colonel Hirata, do you believe what you said."
Hirata Nagayama said very calmly: "This is my personal experience, of course I believe it."
Lu Shunzhang calmed down his excitement, and then asked: "Well, Colonel Hirata, you said that you discovered the tomb robbers. In order not to destroy the imperial mausoleum, you decided to arrest them secretly. So now you tell me, the tomb robbers Where is the thief?"
After listening to Lu Shunzhang's words, Hirata Yongshan said calmly: "I have said before that when we discovered the tomb robbers, we were accidentally noticed by these thieves, so when we arrested them, we met The fierce resistance resulted in no arrests being made alive."
Lu Shunzhang continued to ask: "What about the precious funerary objects in the imperial mausoleum? Colonel Hirata, please don't tell me that these things have also been stolen by thieves."
Hirata Yongshan said shamelessly: "Yes, these thieves were divided into two waves. One wave resisted us, and the other wave quietly moved the burial objects."
As soon as Hirata Nagayama finished speaking, Lu Shunzhang slapped the table angrily and shouted loudly: "Colonel Hirata, who can believe what you said? Am I, Lu, a fool in your eyes? .”
Faced with Lu Shunzhang's anger, Hirata Yongshanhao didn't care. After all, in this little devil's mind, these officials of the Puppet Manchukuo were all watchdogs, but this dog was just bigger, so he said unhurriedly : "Why did you say this in Luzhongtang?"
Lu Shunzhang wanted to continue to get angry, but he did not dare to go too far. After all, the other party was a senior Japanese military officer. He could only say bitterly: "Colonel Hirata, if you follow what you said, it means that these thieves are under your noses." If you run away, wouldn't that prove that you Japanese soldiers are too incompetent?"
As soon as Lu Shunzhang finished speaking, the faces of several Japanese people present changed. Hirata Nagayama immediately cursed: "Baga, how dare you insult the soldiers of the Empire of Japan."
On the other side, Yamamoto Bundo also spoke: "Lu Zhongtang, please pay attention to your words."
As soon as Lu Shunzhang said these words, he felt that he had caused trouble, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, he had dealt with the Japanese many times, so he naturally knew what kind of virtue these little devils were.
After hearing the words of the two Japanese colonels and looking at the reactions of the other Japanese, Lu Shunzhang was slightly worried. After all, the Japanese army has a tradition of defeating superiors. Even if his status is not low, these Japanese may not care. If he really wants to
If his life is taken, no one will probably make the decision for him.
After thinking for a while, Lu Shunzhang immediately came up with an idea, so he quickly said: "I just made a mistake, but two colonels, think about it, if an army can let a few thieves escape from under their noses,
Wouldn’t that be very incompetent?”
After listening to Lu Shunzhang's words, neither Hirata Nagayama nor Yamamoto Benta knew how to explain it. After all, it was indeed unreasonable for an army to allow a few thieves to escape from under their noses.
Seeing that the two people were speechless, Lu Shunzhang felt proud. He naturally picked up the tea cup on the table, took a few sips slowly, and then looked at the Japanese people.
Lu Shunzhang had just been in a hurry and said bad things about the Japanese army, but he was not a fool. He knew who the real master of the Northeastern region was, so he caught the flaw in Hirata Nagayama's words and did not chase him to death.
After all, Lu Shunzhang was also worried that the Japanese would fall out and be remembered, so he drank tea slowly to see how Hirata Nagayama would respond.
In Lu Shunzhang's mind, he believed that the best outcome of this matter was to deal with Xiao Zhanyuan and recover the burial objects.
As for Hirata Nagayama, Lu Shunzhang never wanted to do anything to him. He just found out the truth and handed the matter over to the Kwantung Army headquarters, using the name of the puppet Manchukuo to ask the Japanese high-level officials to give an explanation.
Seeing where Lu Shunzhang was drinking tea, Hirata Nagayama was also a little anxious and didn't know how to deal with it. After all, there was a flaw in what he just said and he was caught by the other party. It was really difficult to deal with it.
At this moment, Xiao Zhanyuan, who was sitting at the end, spoke: "Lu Zhongtang, as the person in charge of this matter, I know the story of the matter best, so why not let me explain it to you."
Lu Shunzhang was about to say something, but before he could speak, Xiao Zhanyuan continued: "During the operation that day, because I did not consider that there would be so many thieves, only more than a hundred police officers were dispatched.
, and borrowed eight military policemen from the military police, thinking that with these people, they could catch all the thieves.
Unexpectedly, there were many thieves, hundreds of them in total, and these people were not ordinary thieves, but members of the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance, with strong fighting power, so we accidentally let them run away."
Hearing Xiao Zhanyuan's words, Lu Shunzhang was very angry. After all, as a high-level official of the Puppet Manchukuo, he naturally knew that there were no anti-Union troops in Shenyang, and the Northeast Anti-Union had been active in the Heilongjiang area. Even if he flew, he could not fly to Shenyang, so
He said angrily: "Shut up, what do you know?"
As soon as Lu Shunzhang finished speaking, Hirata Yongshan said calmly: "Don't be angry, Lu Zhongtang. Director Xiao, as the person in charge of this matter, naturally understands the situation, and what he said is right. The people who fight with us are indeed resisters."
People who connect."
Lu Shunzhang was very angry. After all, he knew the situation of the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance, and he also knew that this team would never kill anyone who stole graves and dug graves, so he said: "According to what I know, the people of the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance have always been They were active in the Heilongjiang area and did not come to the Shenyang area, and their style of work would not involve stealing or digging graves."
Hirata Nagayama said coldly: "Does Lu Zhongtang think what I said is false?"
Lu Shunzhang said calmly: "I don't dare, but Colonel Hirata said these people are members of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. I don't know what evidence there is."
Before Hirata Yongshan opened his mouth, Xiao Zhanyuan said first: "The traces of battle in the imperial mausoleum can naturally prove this. Master Zhongtang can tell whether it is true or false as long as he goes to the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum to check."
Lu Shunzhang said coldly: "Of course I will go and take a look, but the traces of battle can be forged, so this does not prove anything."
Xiao Zhanyuan said confidently: "Just the traces of battle can't prove anything, but after these people evacuated, we sent people to follow them.
But these people quickly fell into pieces, and the fighting was fierce at that time. There were not many people sent to follow them, and they could only focus on the main targets, so we were able to find their clues very quickly and catch these thieves in one fell swoop."
Hearing what Xiao Zhanyuan said, Lu Shunzhang was a little surprised and asked strangely: "You said you have sent people to follow these people and can find them."
Xiao Zhanyuan nodded and immediately said: "Yes, I am sure that we can find the whereabouts of these thieves and arrest them. I just hope that Lu Zhongtang will give us some time."
Lu Shunzhang didn't know what Xiao Zhanyuan's plot was, but there was no loophole in his words, and he couldn't pursue it.
Although in his mind, he believed that Xiao Zhanyuan and the Japanese were the masterminds of stealing the imperial mausoleum, hearing these vows made the old traitor hesitate a little, wondering if there was really something hidden in the matter.
Hirata Yongshan immediately understood Xiao Zhanyuan's thoughts, so he said: "Lu Zhongtang, don't worry, our Imperial Japanese Army will definitely arrest the culprits together with the Shenyang Police Department and solve the case as soon as possible."
After listening to Hirata Nagayama's words, Lu Shunzhang was speechless, but he still felt that there was a problem here, but he could not be tough when facing the Japanese colonel.
At this time, Shan Wenduo said: "Lu Zhongtang, since Shenyang has clues, why not give them some time, I believe they will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Yamamoto represented the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Lu Shunzhang naturally did not dare to despise his words, so after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, we can let them continue the investigation, but we must also investigate together to avoid being exposed." Fooled."
Yamamoto immediately said: "Of course it is possible. After all, Lu Zhongtang is the person in charge of this matter. You can investigate at will."
After the discussion was completed, Lu Shunzhang looked at Xiao Zhanyuan and several Japanese people again, then turned and left.
