Ono Jiro's call was to Naoao Nakamura, the director of the Central China Liaison Department. The other party was a lieutenant general. Ono Jiro's attitude was very respectful:
"General Nakamura, we just learned that the reason why the food from Qingxiang District cannot be transported to Shenpu is because it was sent to the National Army's Third War Zone."
"The third war zone? Li Junshi is in charge of Qingxiang District. This matter will be immediately questioned by the Qingxiang Committee and Li Junshi will give a reasonable explanation."
Ono Jiro smiled bitterly and said: "General Nakamura, I think if Qingxiang District really has a deal with the Third War Zone, doesn't Li Junshi know about it? Maybe he acquiesced."
Li Junshi is a greedy villain who will do whatever it takes to get benefits.
Nakamura Naoxiong said thoughtfully: "Yes, I will notify Inukai Ichiro from the Liaison Department to investigate."
There was actually another candidate in his mind: Xie Xuan.
However, Xie Xuan is Chinese, so it would be better for the Japanese to investigate this kind of thing.
After Inukai Ichiro received the order from Nakamura Naozu, his whole body felt like he had been injected with blood.
He immediately put down all the work at hand and prepared to investigate Li Junshi's transaction with the Third War Zone.
Imamura asked: "Inukai-kun, what do you do with the people you capture?"
Inukai Ichiro said coldly: "Kill them all!"
Imamura said in surprise: "Kill them all? Wouldn't it be better to send them to a prisoner-of-war camp?"
For Japan, labor is also a strategic material.
The Japanese are indeed very frugal in some aspects. They save what they can and make use of what they can.
Inukai Ichiro said calmly: "Then keep the young ones and kill the injured and old ones to avoid wasting food."
To him, killing someone is no different than killing a chicken.
Because of Imamura's reminder, many people survived, including Geng Sicheng.
But Geng Wenzhi did not have such a good life. Because of his physical weakness, he was killed by the Japanese, not with a gun or a knife, but buried alive.
The hole where he was buried alive was forced by Japanese soldiers to dig Geng Sicheng and others.
Seeing Geng Wenzhi being pushed into the pit, Geng Sicheng rushed in desperately. This was his father, the man who gave him life.
It was also because of Geng Wenzhi's guidance that he embarked on the path of revolution.
But now, he had buried his father with his own hands. How dare he not be excited?
"idiot!"
Geng Sicheng was knocked unconscious by a Japanese soldier's rifle butt. When he woke up, the hole had been filled.
"dad!"
Geng Sicheng got up, walked to the railing, and shouted loudly with a sad look on his face.
"If I call you again, I'll bury you!"
Someone next to him advised: "Brother, stop shouting. The Japanese have no humanity. Your father is old and has been so seriously injured. He has been beaten a lot here. Even if he goes out, he won't survive long." He At least he is still in the grave, so he will suffer a few less years of punishment. These days, it is more comfortable to be alive than to be dead."
When Xie Xuan heard the news, he was stunned.
He didn't expect that Geng Wenzhi would be harmed when he attracted Ichiro Inukai's attention.
Xie Xuan sat at the table, smoking cigarettes one after another.
Looking at Xie Xuan's look, Gu Jiahan was also very distressed and comforted softly: "You have almost smoked several cigarettes. You must cheer up quickly. The little devil hasn't started yet, and our mission is not over yet."
Xie Xuan blamed himself and said: "I really didn't expect that things would develop like this. Comrade Huo Dui died because of me."
His voice was low and hoarse, and at this time, he was extremely sad inside.
Gu Jiahan said: "How can I blame you? It was the Japanese who committed the crime, and the blame should be placed on the little devil."
Xie Xuan said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Tomorrow, you and I will go back to Shenpu. Since the torch has arrived at the prisoner of war camp, we have to rescue him quickly."
He had already harmed Geng Wenzhi, how could he let Geng Sicheng be imprisoned by the enemy again?
Gu Jiahan said: "You can't act on impulse and go to Shenpu just to rescue the torch. Will it arouse others' suspicion?"
Xie Xuan shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm taking you to Shenpu department store."
That is to say, in front of Gu Jiahan, he can reveal his true feelings.
In the past, the most he could do was smoke a few cigarettes silently, then wipe away his tears and continue fighting alone.
With Gu Jiahan, he could vent his emotions.
For Xie Xuan, it is very rare to be able to vent his true emotions.
Let He Quan pass on the information, which will not only allow He Quan to win the trust of the Japanese, but also divert the attention of Inukai Ichiro, so that he will have the opportunity to calmly rescue Geng Sicheng and his son.
Unexpectedly, Inukai Ichiro was so vicious that he actually got rid of those people. The young ones were sent to prisoner-of-war camps to be transported to the Northeast as laborers, while those who were sick, injured or elderly were all buried alive.
Every living life was lost in the hands of the little devils, who were worse than animals.
Next, there will be a second step in the operation to eliminate Wei, and Xie Xuan must go to Shenpu.
"Excuse me..."
Just as Gu Jiahan was about to speak, the phone in Xie Xuan's room suddenly rang.
Xie Xuan threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and walked to the phone: "I'm Xie Xuan."
"Xie San, I am Inukai Ichiro, can I meet you?"
"Of course. Wherever Inukai-kun is, I'll come over."
"No need, I've already arrived at the Suzhou Hotel, just wait in the room."
As soon as Gu Jiahan walked out, he met Inukai Ichiro head-on, but his eyes were focused on Xie Xuan who greeted him at the door, ignoring Gu Jiahan's existence.
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Inuyang-kun personally came to visit, what's the point of doing this?"
The moment he received the call from Inukai Ichiro, his emotions completely adjusted.
Gu Jiahan, who was in the corridor, felt relieved when he heard Xie Xuan's voice.
Who would have thought that a few minutes ago, Xie Xuan was so sad, but now, not only does he have to have a smile on his face, but he also has to have a normal conversation with the executioner who killed Geng Wenzhi, and even flatters Inukai Ichiro. This is definitely a treat for Xie Xuan A huge torture.
Inukai Ichiro nodded: "Speak inside."
"please."
"Xie Sang, I want to know if the food from Qingxiang District flows into the National Army's Third War Zone?"
Xie Xuan acted very embarrassed and deliberately hesitated and said: "This..."
"Xie Sang is a friend of the Japanese Empire, so he won't hide it, right?"
"You can't say anything without evidence. I just heard about it, but there is no evidence."
"Excuse me, is Li Junshi involved?"
"Now the price of food outside Qingxiang, especially in Shenpu, is extremely high. Why do we need to make a deal with the Third War Zone?"
Inukai Ichiro said with an unhappy look: "Xie San, you didn't answer my question directly."
Xie Xuan shook his head gently: "I really don't know about this matter, but I will investigate and give you an answer then."
