Chapter 1537 Qian Beiyuan Si's Doubts
"Bag duck drop!" Junichiro Ikeuchi hung up the phone abruptly, his face ashen.
"Commander, what happened?" asked Atsuto Kawada from the side.
The call was from Kenjiro Kitani, the head of the Audit Office.
"The French Concession authorities sent someone to contact Kitani and formally demanded compensation from us for the warehouse fire that burned the seized materials of the Manion Company," said Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"The other party still insists on claiming 200,000 silver dollars from us based on the cargo list?" asked Atsuto Kawada.
"Not 200,000." Ikeuchi Junichiro snorted coldly, his eyes filled with anger and grimness, "The greedy French are asking us to pay 300,000 silver dollars?"
"What?" Kawada Atsuto exclaimed, "Are the French crazy about money?"
He was shocked. "The cargo list said last time that it was two hundred thousand silver dollars..."
Junichiro Ikeuchi didn't say anything, his face was gloomy and uncertain.
"The French know that the warehouse is on fire, so they are just being unreasonable." Kawada Atsuto said with a sullen face.
He looked at Junichiro Ikeuchi and said, "Commander, I will contact Kentaro Miyazaki to find out the details."
"Okay." Ikeuchi Junichiro nodded, "You go meet Mu Gu first and listen to Mu Gu's opinions."
"Hay."
……
"Is there anything wrong with Shi Lei?" Qian Beiyuan Si stood at the window, holding the telescope in his hands.
Liao Hua's ward can be seen through the telescope.
This is the new ward that Qian Beiyuan Si had just arranged. The environment of the new ward is better, and most importantly, it is an independent ward building, which can maximize the isolation between the inside and the outside, making it more convenient for supervision.
The military doctor was checking Liao Hua's physical condition, talking to the nurse and assistant beside him from time to time. The assistant would lower his head and take quick notes. In the room, Shi Lei was accompanying him, carefully and seriously observing Liao Hua's condition.
"Nothing unusual." Usui Hiroyuki replied, "Shi Lei has not left the hospital since the conversation."
He said to Chibeharaji, "According to Hirai-kun, Shi Lei would leave the hospital before, mainly to buy food for Mitsui. However, since the chief talked with Shi Lei, Shi Lei has not gone out again."
Chihohara Tsukasa nodded slightly, and he turned to look at Hirai Shinji, "Hirai-kun, what do you think about this?"
"There are two possibilities," said Hirai Shinji. "One possibility is that Shi Lei is indeed problematic. Shi Lei was the one who passed on information about Liao Hua. However, after learning that we had already obtained information about the leak, he became very cautious and restrained his behavior."
Chihohara Tsukasa nodded slightly, motioning for Hirai Shinji to continue.
"Another possibility is that Shi Lei is fine, but he is cautious in what he says and does. He knows that there has been an intelligence leak inside the hospital, so he is careful in what he does in order to protect himself."
"Which possibility do you prefer?" asked Chibehara Tsukasa.
"I have been thinking about this matter for the past few days. Objectively speaking, Shi Lei is not a big suspect. I have questioned Hirai Rinyuta and Mitsui Shigesaburo, and both of them firmly stated that they had not revealed the name Liao Hua to Shi Lei. Shi Lei should only know the alias Wang Guofa, so it is possible that Shi Lei leaked the information..."
Having said this, Shinji Hirai stopped and fell into thought.
……
"What's wrong?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked immediately.
"Maybe, I have thought of a possibility." Hirai Shinji said with a serious expression, "Maybe Shi Lei already knew about 'Liao Hua'."
"What do you mean?" Qian Beiyuan Si's face darkened and he asked.
"On that day, the Special High Section secretly interrogated Liao Hua. Liao Hua was seriously injured, so Shi Lei was called in to examine Liao Hua." said Shinji Hirai.
Qian Beiyuan Si nodded slightly. He certainly remembered this incident because he was also at the scene at that time.
"At that time, Shi Lei suggested sending Liao Hua to the hospital for treatment," said Shinji Hirai.
"I approved this matter at the time." said Qian Beiyuan Si.
"That's where the problem lies." Hirai Shinji showed a guilty look, "I remembered one thing, I was negligent. When I ordered Hirai Rinyuta and Mitsui Shigesaburo to send Liao Hua to the hospital, I mentioned the name 'Liao Hua' casually."
"Are you sure you mentioned the name 'Liao Hua' at that time?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked with a serious face.
"Indeed." Hirai Shinji nodded and said.
"Bag duck drop!" Chihohara Tsukasa was furious and stared at Hirai Shinji, "Hirai, how could you make such a low-level mistake?!"
"It's my fault." Hirai Shinji quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "When I was talking to Hirai Rin Yuta, Shi Lei was not far away, so I can't rule out whether Shi Lei heard it."
"Bag duck drop!" Chihohara Tsukasa was furious and stepped forward to slap Hirai Shinji in the face, "Stupid!"
"Hay."
"So, you're not sure whether Shi Lei heard it?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked in a deep voice.
"Hai." Hirai Shinji said, "I can't be sure."
"Although we cannot be sure, since an intelligence leak has occurred, Shi Lei has always been a suspect. Now, since this person may know Liao Hua, the suspicion about this person will suddenly increase." Qian Beiyuan Si said with a gloomy face.
He paused, set up the telescope and took another look at Shi Lei in the ward, and said in a deep voice, "No, my intuition tells me that the source of the information leak is very likely Shi Lei."
"Then I will send someone to continue monitoring Shi Lei." Hirai Shinji said, "As long as this person is indeed suspicious, he will be exposed sooner or later."
"No need to bother with this." Qian Beiyuan Si snorted coldly, "Arrest Shi Lei immediately and interrogate him secretly immediately."
He glanced at Hirai Shinji who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Whether there is a problem or not, we will know it soon under torture."
He's just a Chinese who was captured by the Special High Police and couldn't bear the torture so he chose to surrender. There's no need to go through so much trouble. Just interrogate him directly.
"Hay."
……
A quarter of an hour later.
Shinji Hirai personally brought people to the ward.
"Ishi-san, Commander Chihakita wants you to come over for a moment." Hirai Shinji said with a smile.
"Yes." Yang Changnian smiled and nodded, then stood up and packed his medicine box.
Then, two Special High Police agents came up, snatched the medicine box from his hand, and examined it carefully.
Yang Changnian's heart skipped a beat and he realized that something was wrong.
"Mr. Hirai, what are you doing?" Yang Changnian asked with a panicked look.
"Take him away." Hirai Shinji snorted coldly, and a Special High Police agent came up and blocked Shi Lei's mouth with a cloth. Then two agents controlled him from behind and escorted him out.
problem occurs.
Yang Changnian felt a chill in his heart.
He thought carefully, was there something wrong on his part that allowed the enemy to discover the clues?
Or did something happen in the Special Intelligence Department, or even a traitor appeared and gave himself away?
While Yang Changnian was still daydreaming, the man had already been taken out, a hood was put on his head, and he was quickly stuffed into a car.
……
Extraordinary courses.
Torture room three.
Yang Changnian was tied up on the torture pillar. The hood had been taken off and the cloth in his mouth had also been removed.
He blinked hard, adjusting to the change in light.
"Mr. Qianbei, Mr. Taijun, what are you doing?" Yang Changnian saw the people standing in front of him clearly, and immediately cried out to Qianbei Yuansi, "Mr. Taijun, is there any misunderstanding?"
"Shi-san." Chihohara Tsukasa sneered, "I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances."
"Madam, is there any misunderstanding?" Yang Changnian asked with a sad face and fear.
"Shi Sang, you were the one who sent out the information about Liao Hua," Qian Beiyuan Si said, "You don't have to deny it. We have verified the matter."
"Your Highness, I am innocent." Yang Changnian kept shouting, "I really don't know anything. I, I——"
He shouted, "If the Madam hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Wang Guofa was called Liao Hua."
"No, you know." Qian Beiyuan shook his head. "You already knew Liao Hua's identity from Hirai in the interrogation room that day."
"Madam, it's unfair. I don't understand what you mean." Yang Changnian kept crying out for injustice.
His heart skipped a beat. He had only heard it with one ear at that time and was some distance away from Hirai Shinji. He thought that this small detail would not attract the enemy's attention, but he did not expect that after many days, this detail would be discovered by the enemy.
Yang Changnian made up his mind that he must firmly insist that he heard nothing.
He believed that the enemy was not so sure that he had really heard it. After all, he had sharp hearing and it was something he knew, and the enemy had no evidence.
"Shi-san, there is an old Chinese saying," Chihohara said, "He who knows the times is a hero. You have been tortured before, and you know the pain. Why do you want to suffer again?"
"Taijun, I am innocent. I really know nothing."
"Use torture." Qian Beiyuan Si's face turned cold and he waved his hand.
"Hai!" Usui Hiroyuki pulled out a whip soaked in salt water from the salt water tank, walked towards Yang Changnian with a grim smile, and swung the whip hard.
"what!"
"Ahhh! Taijun, this is unfair!"
……
Half an hour later, Qian Beiyuan Si frowned as he looked at Shi Lei, who had fainted and his skin was torn from being whipped.
During the torture, Shi Lei just kept shouting that he was innocent and refused to confess anything.
"Wake him up." Qian Beiyuan Si said coldly.
A basin of cold water was poured directly on Yang Changnian's head.
Yang Changnian groaned and slowly woke up.
His eyes lost their luster, and he looked at Qian Beiyuan Si stupidly, muttering, "Unfair, Taijun, it's unfair."
Qian Beiyuan Si snorted coldly and waved his hand.
The red-hot iron was pressed hard against Yang Changnian's chest.
Yang Changnian screamed and fainted instantly. A burning smell immediately filled the interrogation room.
After drinking a basin of water, Yang Changnian woke up again.
Qian Beiyuan Si walked forward and grabbed Shi Lei's hair with his right hand wearing a white glove. "Who is your superior in the Red Party's underground network in Shanghai?"
"I, I am not, not a Red Party member." Yang Changnian said in a low voice with a confused look on his face.
"Not the Red Party?" Chibehara Si asked softly, "Then which party are you from?"
"I am..." Yang Changnian muttered, and then suddenly woke up. He stared at Qian Beiyuan Si with wide eyes, "Taijun, it's unfair. I am loyal to Taijun. I am loyal to the Great Japanese Empire."
"Continue the torture." Qian Beiyuan Si loosened his hands, glanced at the blood on the white gloves, frowned, took off the gloves directly, threw them away, and said coldly.
"Hay."
"I want to see the confession before dinner tonight." Chibehara Si said in a deep voice.
"Hay."
……
at dusk.
Shinji Hirai knocked on the door of Chikitara's office.
"Did Shi Lei confess?" he asked.
"No." Hirai Shinji shook his head.
"What do you think?" asked Chibehara Tsukasa.
"There are two possibilities. One is that Shi Lei is indeed innocent, so he has nothing to confess." Hirai Shinji said, "Another possibility is that this person is an extremely stubborn anti-Japanese element."
"The last time Shi Lei was arrested, how long did it take him to confess after being tortured?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked.
"Well, I need to check the file." said Shinji Hirai.
Before being appreciated and promoted by Qian Beiyuanji, he was just an ordinary agent in the Special High Section. He had not participated in the interrogation of Shi Lei and had no idea about his situation.
"Go and get the file." Qian Beiyuan Si said in a deep voice.
"Hay."
Soon, Shinji Hirai brought out Shi Lei's interrogation files from that time.
Qian Beiyuan Si lowered his head and looked carefully. Suddenly, he fell into deep thought, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I never thought that Shi Lei was persuaded to surrender by Miyazaki Kentaro." Chibehara Tsukasa said.
"Sir, is there a problem here?" Hirai Shinji asked immediately.
"Do you think Shi Lei knows that Cheng Qianfan's true identity is an imperial agent?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked.
"Maybe he knows." Hirai Shinji said uncertainly. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "I remember that there was a rumor inside the Special High Section that because Miyazaki Kentaro saved Shi Lei, Shi Lei was very grateful to him. So, Shi Lei is Miyazaki Kentaro's man?"
He showed excitement, "So, behind Shi Lei is Miyazaki Kentaro, and this matter is related to Miyazaki Kentaro?"
Chihohara Tsukasa has been looking for evidence to use against Miyazaki Kentaro, and this may be a good opportunity.
"Although I hate Miyazaki, but if this matter is related to Miyazaki..." Chihohara shook his head, "The possibility of Miyazaki collaborating with the enemy is not high."
He looked at Hirai Shinji, "But there is one thing that is strange, don't you think?"
"I am a stupid subordinate." said Hirai Shinji.
"Let's assume that Miyazaki Kentaro persuaded Shi Lei to surrender, and Shi Lei was grateful to him. In other words, Miyazaki Kentaro might be Shi Lei's real backer in the Special Higher Police." Chihohara Tsukasa said slowly, "This time, Shi Lei was arrested again and endured such cruel torture, but he just cried out for injustice. Why didn't he mention Miyazaki Kentaro and ask for help?"
