The Japanese name was Takeda Kaede. He not only exposed Shizufumi Ito's evil deeds on the spot, but also exposed and reported crimes such as rape, humiliation, and oppression committed by other Japanese against trafficked women in garment factories. He actually remembered the time, place and victim clearly in a small notebook, leaving other Japanese criminals with no excuses. The criminal records in his little book were eventually corroborated by the murdered women or their companions.
What Zhou Wen and the others didn't expect was that he also took the initiative to find Ito Shizuka's money and account books hidden in the secret room. Several thick stacks of account books clearly recorded various statistics and lists of Chinese women abducted and trafficked by Ito Garment Co., Ltd. over the years since its establishment. There are even transportation channels and transit points.
These ledgers exposed all the channels and personnel hidden throughout the entire line and were destroyed and arrested. Hundreds of Chinese traitors have been discovered.
It can be said that this operation achieved such great results and caused such a huge repercussions. Even Kobayashi's transfer stations in Tianjin and Shanghai were completely exposed and were ordered to be destroyed by Nanjing. As a result, Kobayashi had to temporarily stop his operations in China. In various activities, Takeda Kaede played a big role in them and made great contributions.
This is one of the reasons why Zhou Wen shot so many Japanese criminals but let him alone.
Another reason is that Zhou Wen did not find any evil deeds by Takeda Kaede. Even after asking all the rescued women and girls, no one came forward to report or identify his evil deeds. On the contrary, some little girls said that he often helped them secretly, and even had a quarrel with him a few times in order to stop Ito Shizuka's bestiality.
This is really a weird Japanese. This was Zhou Wen's first impression after learning about these situations.
If there is no crime and he has made great achievements, he cannot be killed, but he cannot be let go either. Zhou Wen didn't know how to deal with this strange Japanese. When Zhou Wen hesitated whether to hand him over to Nanjing for processing, Takeda Kaede asked to see Zhou Wen.
That was the second time Zhou Wen met Takeda Kaede. The first time was the night when he raided the garment factory. It was late at night, and Zhou Wen was so angry that he was busy collecting evidence, arresting criminals, comforting the rescued women, and a series of other things. Although Takeda Kaede had been actively cooperating, Zhou Wen basically didn't notice his appearance.
Looking at the Japanese kneeling on the ground and swearing allegiance to him, Zhou Wen found that he was actually very handsome. With thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a very straight nose, he looks very much like a Japanese male movie star named Miura or something in his previous life. He is not short either, and his body looks very tall even when he is kneeling.
"My day, I have another very shameless face. I can compete with my senior brother Miaohua. Why the hell do they all look more like the protagonist than me." Zhou Wen cursed with envy and hatred.
The life experience of Takeda Kaede is even more bizarre. He is actually a direct relative of the Takeda family, a prestigious aristocratic family in the Kansai region of Japan. And he was also the heir to the head of the family.
Takeda Kaede's father is Takeda Yoshio, the eldest son of Takeda Takeda, the head of the Takeda family, and the heir to the next head of the family. He has been knowledgeable and talented since he was a child, and has certain attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In particular, Go is a national player. In his youth, he studied under Zhang Yiqing, a master of Go who moved from China to Japan. Later, he excelled in the game and defeated all the opponents in Kansai. Zhang Yiqing also favored this disciple and betrothed his only daughter, Zhang Fengzhi, to him.
Takeda Takayoshi has great respect for Chinese culture. Moreover, Zhang Yiqing has a high reputation in China and Japan. The two families have close contacts, so they naturally have no objection. As a result, Takeda Yoshio and Zhang Fengzhi, who had long been in love, were able to get married. Their married life was also harmonious. They gave birth to a son one year after they got married. For some reason, they never gave birth to another child. It was not until ten years later that they had another daughter. The son is naturally Takeda Kaede, and his sister who is ten years younger than him is named Takeda Masako.
Unlike his father, Takeda Kaede was educated in Japanese militarism since childhood. After graduating from middle school, he was admitted to the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. After graduation, by virtue of his noble status, he was assigned to the Japanese First Division as a second lieutenant staff officer. According to his background, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake and goes to the grassroots level for a few years to train, his future military career will be smooth.
At that time, Takeda Kaede had just turned 22 and was in high spirits. However, misfortune soon followed. First, his grandfather Takeda Takeda died of illness. Before the whole family could recover from the grief, his father Takeda Yoshio had finished his period of filial piety and was about to take office as the new head of the family. On his way back from a day out. , was hit and killed by a drunk driver of a Japanese military vehicle.
Then, the position of head of the family that was supposed to be taken by Takeda Kaede was somehow replaced by other members of the family and retainers, citing his youth, and recommended his uncle, Takeda Takeda's second son, Takeda, who already holds the rank of Colonel in the military. Yoshio sat on the throne of the Takeda family.
Until this moment, Takeda Kaede had not realized that a greater crisis was coming. When one of his father's personal guards found him covered in blood, he realized that all this was a conspiracy planned by his uncle Takeda Yoshio for many years. Moreover, Takeda Yoshio has already established relations with the military and is about to kill him.
After all, Takeda Kaede was also a direct descendant of the aristocracy. Relying on the relationship between his father and grandfather, he quickly escaped from the army and did not dare to go home. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn to the Ito family, who was a family friend of the Takeda family. Although the Ito family is also a prominent figure in Japan, it is difficult to intervene in other people's family fights. They can only save Takeda Kaede's life because of their good relationship with Takeda Yoshio in the past.
So Takeda Kaede was secretly sent out of Japan by the Ito family and came to China to avoid trouble.
At that time, Zhou Wen looked at the grief-stricken Takeda Kaede, and through superhuman perception and two lifetimes of experience, he believed that he was not telling lies. I'm just a little bit confused as to why he proposed to be his retainer. He opened his mouth and asked: "You want to be my retainer, what about your relatives in Japan? What about your country?"
"I no longer have any family members. My mother was insulted by that beast Yoshio Takeda and committed suicide that day. My lovely sister Masako...she...was also...wuwuwu..."
Seeing Takeda Kaede lying on the ground sobbing and crying, Zhou Wen instantly understood why he was so indignant and dissatisfied with Ito Shizuka's atrocities, and why he took the initiative to help those Chinese girls who were trafficked.
Takeda Kaede wiped away her tears, stood up and said loudly: "This country that I once swore allegiance to can't protect my parents and sister, and can't punish the murderers who killed my relatives, so don't do it. I still have half of China. Bloodline, please treat me as Chinese. From now on, there will be no Japanese Takeda Kaede in this world, only your Chinese vassal. Please give me your name." After saying that, he got up.
Zhou Wen blurted out without thinking: "Then you will be called Tian Boguang from now on."
