Seeing the fat man approaching with a fierce look on his face, Li Jianren couldn't help but tighten his anus.
Li Jianren apologized in a trembling voice: "Sir...sir, everything I said is true."
"Tell me the truth, otherwise you will get the best of me!"
The fat man took a step forward and said with a fierce expression.
"Yes, I must tell you honestly. My mission is actually to find out about the Qilu Army at Jiaxiang Company - the troops under Deputy Commander Han."
"The other thing is to choose the opportunity to influence a group of people in Jiaxiang Company, so that they can work for the empire at the right time... ah no, Neon, for Neon, and finally of course convince them to surrender."
Li Jianren looked at Lao Li who was interrogating across from him, and continued to confess with lingering fear, but he did not dare to exchange eyes with the fat man, for fear that if he did something wrong, he would offend the evil god...
"Go on, then why do you let people spy on our people?"
Lao Li knocked on the table with his left hand and continued to ask.
"I have regular contact with the superiors - mainly through newspaper advertisements and dead mailboxes. A few days ago, the dead mailbox received instructions asking me to monitor the commanders of your department..."
"There were some photos that came with the order, so I knew that those people were from your department. I was afraid that I would be exposed, so I contacted the person named Lu."
Li Jianren quickly confessed respectfully, with several expressions of sincerity, flattery, and longing intertwined on his face.
When Lao Li and Fatty heard this, they quickly exchanged looks.
Without further questioning, and without continuing to use tricks on the frightened Li Jianren, the fat man returned to the table, prepared the confession in twos and fives, and asked Li Jianren to confirm it and sign it.
After finishing, the guards took the person down.
After sorting out their confessions, the two left the detention center.
"There's something else going on here! 'Stone Man', as his superior, was taken into custody early in the morning. Who gave him instructions? Does he have any accomplices?"
The fat man was the first to lose his balance and spoke to Lao Li.
"That's for sure, but isn't it all within our commander's expectations?"
Lao Li got up from the horse and said with a playful smile.
"You idiot, you're all so pretentious."
The fat man curled his lips and spat with some disdain.
…
With Ni Desheng (Izawa Yuichi) and Li Jianren being arrested, Ma Xiaoguang announced that the matter in Xuzhou was over and ordered the two guardians to prepare for their return.
Before leaving, I naturally want to say hello to everyone.
Of course, this includes Jiaxiang Company.
"I was lax in controlling my subordinates, which allowed Japanese spies to take advantage of me. I am guilty, guilty..."
Qiao Youjia, who was standing bowed across from him, was sweating profusely, and his shiny forehead had lost its former luster.
Ma Xiaoguang said calmly: "Boss Qiao has probably heard about Deputy Commander Han... Let's not talk too much about the inside story.
However, I believe that there is nothing wrong with you, Boss Qiao. "
Hearing this, Qiao Youjia felt as if he had been granted amnesty and said quickly: "Thank you for your trust, sir. I will definitely change my mind..."
After saying that, he picked up a box from the desk beside him and held it respectfully in front of Ma Xiaoguang with both hands.
"Boss Qiao, what does this mean?"
Ma Xiaoguang's face darkened and he asked quickly.
"Previously, I was confused and eager to save people, but was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives... Please forgive me, sir. Please bear with me."
Qiao Youjia said pitifully while opening the box.
The box opened, revealing a golden light - different from before, this time it was a large yellow croaker!
Ma Xiaoguang said hesitantly: "Isn't this not good?"
Qiao Youjia put the box on the coffee table, pushed it in front of Ma Xiaoguang and said: "This can be regarded as my doing my best for the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War. Sir, please do not refuse, otherwise the whole company will be uneasy."
"Then I'll just do it."
Ma Xiaoguang thought for a while, closed the lid and said.
Stories similar to this happened so many times in the past few days that Lao Li and Fatty were both a little embarrassed.
"Sir, wouldn't it be good if we did this?"
Lao Li looked at the boxes in front of him and advised Chief Ma with some anxiety.
"You can't say that. This way we can make everyone in Xuzhou feel more at ease. Look at this time, from the deputy commander of the theater to the officers below, a lot of people have been arrested. Of course, most of these have nothing to do with us, but it takes more if we can't stand them. Yes I do."
"We don't accept gifts, but some people do. Those who give gifts are all rich. Since you have money, use some of it and let everyone spend the difference, so that some people can rest assured."
Ma Xiaoguang handed Lao Li a cigarette and spoke to him with sincere words.
"Well, if you say that, it makes sense if you think about it. This way, the higher-ups can rest assured."
Fortunately, Lao Li didn't have the habit of trying to get into trouble, so he nodded after thinking for a while.
The two chatted for a while, but they saw the fat man coming back from outside in a hurry.
The fat man reported with a mocking smile: "Sir, the place has been decided, it's the restaurant next to the guest house... During the Anti-Japanese War, we can't be too high-profile."
"Well, that's the reason. This way we can save some money."
Ma Xiaoguang was obviously very satisfied with Fatty's arrangement and nodded approvingly.
That evening.
The entire restaurant next to the officers' guest house was booked, and the small shop was packed to the brim.
"Oh, wartime conditions were difficult, I'm neglecting everyone."
Ma Xiaoguang couldn't help but hand over his hands to everyone and said, it seems that he is the owner of this place and not just here on a business trip to handle the case.
"You're welcome, Sir Ma. Let's overcome the difficulties together."
After hearing this, everyone below quickly responded politely.
When Ma Xiaoguang heard this, he repeatedly raised his hands and thanked everyone.
As they were talking here, the food and wine were quickly put on the table.
Each table has four dishes and one soup, nothing surprising.
"Everyone, everyone has worked hard on this case. I'm just making do with the simple things, borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, and expressing my gratitude..."
Ma Xiaoguang picked up the wine glass and said to everyone with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, everyone quickly raised their glasses together.
Next, the host, Ma Xiaoguang, toasted table after table.
"Consultant Yang, thank you for your help this time."
After clinking glasses with Yang Dehua, Ma Xiaoguang was the first to drink until the glass was dry and drank it all in one gulp.
"Stationmaster Wang, we brothers need to keep in touch more and help each other in the future."
When they arrived at Wang Guofan's table, Ma Xiaoguang also started talking good things.
Ma Xiaoguang also greeted the rest of the people one by one, making it impossible for anyone to find fault.
The fat man followed closely behind Commander Ma, carrying a bottle of wine and acting like he was loyal to the master.
Finally arrived at the last table.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Thank you all for this time."
Ma Xiaoguang, a little tipsy, raised his wine glass and said to the logistics staff at the last table.
"Sir, you're welcome. It's rare for someone to be so considerate of our kindness, sir..."
The orderly Ye Shoucai held up his wine glass and said with some emotion.
"What's going on here? How about we finish this one later and find a place to open another table?"
Ma Xiaoguang took a step forward, held up the wine glass and said to Ye Shoucai with a half-smile.
Ye Shoucai, who originally had a naive smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this.
