After noon, Hirata Nagayama and Yamamoto Bunta arrived at the Shenyang City Government together and went directly into Lu Shunzhang's office.
The reason why these two people cooperated so well was because Lu Shunzhang was the highest-ranking figure in the Puppet Manchukuo, and the Northeast was still nominally the territory of the Puppet Manchukuo. Naturally, these Japanese would not fail to come.
This is also the style of the Japanese. On the surface, they are respectful and polite, but in fact they are cunning and vicious. They are the kind of people who want to be a bitch but still have to erect a memorial arch.
As soon as the two people entered the office, they saw Lu Shunzhang sitting in the middle. Next to him, sitting a fat man, it was Shen Jiemin, the fake mayor.
Lu Shunzhang's face was very serious and cold, and one could tell at a glance that something was up to him.
Seeing the two people coming, Lu Shunzhang said calmly: "Two senior officers, please take a seat. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The two Japanese colonels didn't care about Lu Shunzhang's serious expression, and sat down across from him casually. Then Hirata Yongshan said: "Lu Zhongtang, you are anxious to see the two of us, saying that there is something important, I don't know. What kind of big deal is it that deserves you to be so serious about it?"
Hirata Nagayama's tone was very casual and somewhat forceful, as if he didn't take Lu Shunzhang seriously.
Hearing Hirata Nagayama's words, especially the strong tone, Lu Shunzhang was very angry, but he was not stupid, and naturally he would not make a fuss over such a trivial matter, and if he really made a fuss over the phone, he wouldn't get any advantage.
However, Lu Shunzhang was a cunning man, so he did not answer immediately. Instead, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a slow sip before speaking: "Colonel Hirata, I invited you two here this time because of the imperial mausoleum. case."
Lu Shunzhang's smooth performance immediately suppressed some of Hirata Nagayama's arrogance, so the military police captain said cautiously: "The case of the Imperial Tomb has been solved, isn't it? There is nothing else to say."
Lu Shunzhang said calmly: "In fact, there is an inside story about this matter. I have found new evidence to prove that Qian Yibiao did not do it. He is just a scapegoat."
Hearing Lu Shunzhang's words, Hirata Yongshan's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly said: "I don't know what else is going on in this matter, and what evidence Lu Zhongtang has found."
Lu Shunzhang said with a smile: "Captain Hirata, don't worry, just listen to me and tell you slowly."
After that, Lu Shunzhang explained the content of the letter, but did not say where the letter came from. Finally, he said: "Here are the letters and photos. Captain Hirata can take a look."
After saying these words, Lu Shunzhang handed the letter and photos to Hirata Yongshan, then picked up the teacup and continued drinking tea, showing the presence of an old god.
When Lu Shunzhang was talking, Hirata Yongshan had a bad feeling. After all, he knew all the inside story of this matter.
When Lu Shunzhang finished speaking and handed over the letter and photos, Hirata Nagayama knew that things were in trouble.
After briefly reading the letter and photos, Hirata Nagayama asked softly: "Lu Zhongtang, where did you get this letter and photos."
Lu Shunzhang said calmly: "Is this related to this case? After all, the photo cannot be fake, and the content of the letter should also be true."
Hirata Yongshan immediately said: "I don't care whether the things are true or false, but Qian Yibiao's son is a bandit. Hirata is very curious as to how Lu Zhongtang can contact this person."
As he spoke, Hirata Nagayama was thinking about how to deal with this matter. After all, the contents of this letter clearly stated what happened, especially the photos, which were very comprehensive.
Thinking of this, Hirata Yongshan hated Xiao Zhanyuan and thought to himself that this loser always made mistakes when doing things. He had already been photographed, and now he was photographed again. He was really incompetent.
Hirata Yongshan now has the intention of giving up on Xiao Zhanyuan. After all, this traitor has made several mistakes and has lost much value in the eyes of the military police captain.
It's just that Hirata Nagayama was also one of the masterminds of the excavation of the imperial tomb. If Xiao Zhanyuan was caught and he was implicated in the matter, it would be troublesome.
Given Hirata Nagayama's status, being involved in this matter would not cost his life. However, once Lu Shunzhang has solid evidence, the top brass of the Japanese Kwantung Army will also have to give an explanation to the puppet Manchukuo.
After all, the Japanese also have to take into account some influence, and although a colonel does have some weight to the Japanese, this weight is not very heavy.
In addition, all the burial objects have now disappeared, and Hirata Nagayama's backers will not speak for him at all. Therefore, the fate awaiting this little devil is very likely to go to the front line.
Although the Japanese are barbaric and very vicious, they are ordinary Japanese soldiers. For an officer like Hirata Nagayama, they naturally do not want to go to the front line.
What's more, Shenyang is an important town in Dongbei and the most prosperous place. If you can enjoy the blessings here, naturally no one is willing to go to the front line to fight.
Lu Shunzhang didn't know what Hirata Nagayama thought, so he said calmly: "I have my own way. This is not something Colonel Hirata should care about. The question now is, what to do about this matter."
Hirata Yongshan immediately asked: "What does Lu Zhongtang plan to do?"
Lu Shunzhang immediately said: "Of course we must capture Xiao Zhanyuan, torture him severely, and then enforce the law of the country."
Hirata Yongshan asked quickly: "Lu Zhongtang, it would be a bit inappropriate to take down Director Xiao based on some photos."
Lu Shunzhang said angrily: "Captain Pingtian, the photos clearly show that after Xiao Zhanyuan killed the person, he moved the body inside and outside the imperial mausoleum and faked the traces of the battle.
Together with this letter, it is enough to prove that Xiao Zhanyuan is the mastermind behind the excavation of the imperial tomb. With this evidence, how can Colonel Hirata still protect him?"
Pingtian Yongshan said softly: "Don't be angry in Lu Zhongtang. Pingtian naturally doesn't want to protect Xiao Zhanyuan, but..."
"Captain Hirata, Xiao Zhanyuan is the mastermind of the excavation of the imperial tomb. It can be said that there is irrefutable evidence. Do you still plan to protect him? If so, I can only report to the emperor and ask him to come forward and ask for an explanation from the Japanese cabinet."
In normal times, Lu Shunzhang would not dare to fall out with Hirata Yongshan, but now that there is evidence, the situation is naturally different. In addition, Xiao Zhanyuan's style makes this old traitor very angry, which is why he is like this.
Seeing Lu Shunzhang's resolute attitude, Hirata Yongshan immediately said: "Lu Zhongtang, you misunderstood, I am not trying to protect Xiao Zhanyuan.
Let's do this. As soon as Xiao Zhanyuan comes back, we will arrest him and bring him to the gendarmerie for interrogation. The gendarmerie will be responsible for investigating this matter and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
This is also a kind of test for Hirata Nagayama. If Lu Shunzhang agrees to hand over the matter to the military police, it will prove that this old traitor will not be involved in him.
But Xiao Zhanyuan fell into the hands of Hirata Yongshan, and things were easier to handle. This little devil had decided to kill this traitor if the puppet Manchukuo persisted in pursuing him.
After hearing what Hirata Yongshan said, Lu Shunzhang thought for a while and said: "This matter can be handed over to the gendarmerie for investigation, but I will also send someone to assist in the investigation. Moreover, Xiao Zhanyuan is the main culprit in robbing the imperial tomb and must not be released. Regarding him,
Any disposition must be discussed together by us."
The people who really call the shots in the three northeastern provinces are the Japanese after all. Although Lu Shunzhang also knew that Hirata Nagayama was also involved in the matter and was probably the mastermind, he still did not dare to involve the military police captain, so he agreed to hand over the person.
Gendarmerie.
Moreover, Lu Shunzhang's real purpose was not only to catch the mastermind of the excavation of the imperial tomb, but also for the position of police chief. After all, the puppet Manchukuo and the Japanese were also competing for power.
Seeing what Lu Shunzhang said, Hirata Yongshan breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Lu Zhongtang, Xiao Zhanyuan is an important suspect, we will never release him, and we will also inform you of all our dealings with him."
The two people decided Xiao Zhanyuan's fate, and the atmosphere in the office became relaxed. However, Lu Shunzhang also had another goal, which was to be the police chief of Shenyang City. After all, this was the only position in Shenyang City besides the Japanese army.
An armed force, whoever controls this armed force has the right to speak.
It was because of his control of this armed force that Xiao Zhanyuan became the biggest traitor in Shenyang City and suppressed the pseudo-mayor Shen Jiemin. Now that he had this opportunity, Lu Shunzhang naturally wanted to fight for it: "Captain Pingtian, arrest him.
After arresting Xiao Zhanyuan, who do you think will be the chief of police?"
The reason why Lu Shunzhang asked this was to test Hirata Nagayama to see if this little devil still wanted to control the police station.
As soon as Lu Shunzhang finished speaking, Shen Jiemin became excited. After all, he was dealing with Xiao Zhanyuan just for this position, so he immediately looked at Hirata Yongshan and guessed what the attitude of the military police captain would be.
Hearing Lu Shunzhang's words, Hirata Yongshan frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "The police chief of Shenyang City is an internal matter of Manchukuo. Our military police will not interfere. Lu Zhongtang and Shen Shi
Let’s discuss it ourselves.”
Hirata Yongshan decided to take a step back. After all, Lu Shunzhang had handed over Xiao Zhanyuan to him. If he was thinking of arranging the police chief, there might be some trouble.
Moreover, Hirata Nagayama believed that with the power of the Japanese, no matter who became the police chief, he would not have any trouble wooing him, so he did this.
Hearing Hirata Yongshan's words, Shen Jiemin immediately became happy, and Lu Shunzhang on the side also smiled a little. After all, one of his goals was achieved.
After these things were discussed, the atmosphere in the office became better. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a voice came through: "Commissioner Lu, what do you want from me?"
As this voice came, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and then Xiao Zhanyuan, dressed in police uniform, appeared at the door of the office.
