Hattori Hikoo shook his head and said, "I didn't expect there to be someone as stubborn and clumsy as you!"
Asano said: "As long as there is aggression, there will always be people like me!"
"You pretended to be a cripple just to have a chance to join the gendarmerie, right?"
"You're right, I don't want to die on the battlefield in a daze!"
"At that time, you joined the army?"
"right!"
Asano suddenly smiled and said, "Major Hattori, I can tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
"Actually, I shot my leg myself!"
"I remember it said in your file that you were shot at close range by a Zhongzheng rifle..."
Asano said proudly: "Massive guns can be found everywhere on the battlefield and are easy to pick up. I hid in the trench and shot myself!"
Miyamoto suddenly rushed over, slapped Asano hard, and cursed angrily: "The traitor is still so rampant!"
Hattori Hikoo put his hands behind his back and did not stop him, sitting on the chair leisurely.
Miyamoto grabbed Asano's collar with both hands and growled: "Tell me, who is your superior! Who is the person who is contacting you!"
Asano said sternly: "Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, I have seen you interrogate prisoners. If you have any skills, just come and do it!"
"Do you think I will be polite to you? Come, prepare to be tortured!" Miyamoto turned around and ordered.
Suzuki Souchang walked in from outside, holding a cardboard box, bowing and saying: "Major, this is Asano Ryoichi's personal belongings."
Hattori Hikoo nodded and said, "Let it go."
Suzuki Souchang put the carton on the table, turned around and walked out.
The executioner opened Asano's handcuffs and tied them to a wooden stake. Miyamoto went into battle in person with a leather whip. He wanted to teach the traitor in his eyes a lesson!
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Accompanied by Asano's muffled groan, Miyamoto picked up the whip and struck him all over his head and face.
There was a thick stack of letters inside the cardboard box. Judging from the envelopes, most of them were correspondence between Asano and his family, and there were also a small number of letters with his colleagues in the combat army.
Hattori Hikoo opened two of the letters and read them for a while, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, please stop for a moment."
Hattori Hikoo stood up and came to Asano, smiled and said: "Asano, how do you feel?"
Asano gasped and said: "Thank you, Major Hattori, for your concern. I feel very good!"
"Aren't you afraid of pain?"
"There is no one who is not afraid of pain."
"But you can hold on, right?"
Asano snorted coldly as an answer.
Hattori Hikoo opened a letter in his hand and said, "How long has it been since you went home?"
Asano stared at him warily and remained silent, vaguely feeling that something was not good.
"Let me read your little princess letter for you...Dad, I miss you, when will you come back? The swing you made for me is broken, and my mother can't repair it..." Hattori Hikoo said in a kind of way
Reading the letter from Asano's daughter in an exaggerated tone.
Asano said angrily: "What are you going to do!"
Hattori Hikoo put on a solemn expression and said: "Asano, your parents, wife and daughter are all in Japan. Do you think they will be afraid of pain if the whip falls on them?"
Asano was startled and said: "What do you mean? Even if you treat traitors, you should not harm your family!"
Hattori Hikoo sneered: "Of course ordinary people will treason and their families will not be affected, but now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times! I can tell you clearly that if you refuse to explain, I will immediately issue a domestic notice
Report and arrest your family members for espionage!"
"You can't do this... My parents are both in their fifties, and the child is just seven years old... How could they be spies?"
"I believe they are not, but the premise is that you tell everything you know, and then they are not spies! Do you understand?"
Asano's heart felt like it was fried. He thought of his parents, wife and children being arrested and imprisoned by the police, and possibly being tortured inhumanely. He couldn't even imagine that kind of situation.
Hattori Hikoo loudly ordered: "Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, go to the telecommunications room immediately and send a report to the Okinawa Prefectural Police Station in the name of the North China Garrison Command, requesting them to immediately arrest Asano Ryoichi's family and cooperate in the investigation of a spy case.
…”
"Yes!" Miyamoto turned and walked towards the door.
In the end, his faith could not match his love for his family. Asano said dejectedly: "Wait a minute! Major Hattori, I am willing to explain..."
Hattori Hikoo signaled the executioner to untie Asano and said: "Asano-kun, I promise you that as long as the information you provide is true, I will not report your treason to the superiors."
Asano smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to be lenient with me. As long as you can save your family, I'll be satisfied."
Hattori Hikoo said: "There is a military spy in the military police. Do you think I will publicize it? No, I will try my best to suppress this matter. When the time comes, I will give you a random punishment: expulsion from the military and sent back to the country."
"Are you saying...really?" Asano was a little excited. Even when he was working for the military commander, he was thinking about going home all the time.
Hattori Hikoo said calmly: "Do I need to lie to you? Even if I don't promise, you still have to confess what you should confess!"
"Thank you, Major..." Asano bowed.
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment and said, "In Li Jinshan's case, was it you who put the pistol in the food box?"
Asano shook his head and said, "No."
"So, there are people from the gendarmerie and military command?"
"As far as I know, there are. However, it seems that they are not in the gendarmerie..."
"Then where is he?"
"I don't know exactly where it is, but it seems to be in the secret service department."
"Secret Service... Special High School Section? Detective Team?" Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said, "Isn't there anything about him?"
"His codename is Crow, other than that... nothing else."
Hattori Hikoo nodded and said: "Not long ago, Crow also carried out the assassination of Wu Jingyao. This person is indeed hiding among us!"
He mentally screened the objects he suspected, and couldn't think of a clue for a while, so he continued to ask: "Who is your superior?"
"I have never met him. I only know that his code name is Explorer."
"Then how do you contact me?"
"I rent a locker at the Wonderful Baths. If the explorer has a mission, he first draws a special secret message on the wall of Laojiuyoufang, and he stuffs the secret letter into the locker beforehand."
"The secret letter... even if it is accidentally discovered by someone, your identity will not be exposed, right?"
"right."
"Don't you think it's a stupid act to use alcohol lamps in the gendarmerie?"
"Actually, this alcohol lamp is a backup and is not used often, just because I received a secret letter from the gendarmerie..."
