Chapter 175: More Money! Blackmailing Commander Japan
After asking about the basic situation, Jiang Yifan asked directly:
"Tell me! Who gave you these ammunition?"
Hearing the question, Zhang Jizhong said with a bitter face: "Captain! I really don't know!"
"Then tell me what you know."
Jiang Yifan didn't want to embarrass Zhang Jizhong, so he just said it casually.
"But I don't know anything!" Zhang Jizhong had no idea what he knew, so he answered casually.
"Snapped!"
Ding Yi slapped Zhang Jizhong, who was tied to the rack, in the face.
"Asshole! You don't know anything, how are you still alive? Answer me properly, otherwise, you will be severely punished." Ding Yi cursed angrily.
Blood immediately flowed from the corner of Zhang Jizhong's mouth, which made him realize that it would be impossible to get away with it by playing badly.
Just now, Ichiro Sato was ready to shoot himself, which shows that the 17 gold bars given to him last night had a counterproductive effect.
When you could give them money, they were all smiling. But now you might drag them into this, and they don’t even have time to escape. Who would care about their own life or death?
Stop dreaming and wish you good luck!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jizhong stopped blaming others and sorted out the whole story. He was sure that someone was framing him.
But who is this person?
Could it be Johnson, the British man who provided him with opium?
This is impossible? There is no conflict in the business, how could he frame me?
Are there no new enemies?
Who is this person? I have Sato Ichiro's support, and everyone else talks to me with a straight face. Who dares to frame me?
But this matter happened, and it was so big, and the evidence was so conclusive.
If it was a problem with drugs or something, it would be easy to make an excuse, but if it were ten brand new Browning pistols, would most people be willing to take them out and use them to frame others?
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Jizhong still couldn't figure out a clue, so he could only say:
"Captain! I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still have no clue. To be honest, I bought this box of opium from Mr. Johnson from England a month ago, and I've kept it under the sofa ever since. I've forgotten about it myself."
Everyone says this, but who believes it? Kudo muttered to himself.
But Keiko Tanaka, Ichiro Sato, and especially Ryosuke Hihara, who were outside the door, couldn't help but feel a huge wave of anxiety in their hearts when they heard what was said.
The British? Could it be that these Chinese agents colluded with the British and sent these weapons to Zhang Jizhong through the British?
Or, did the British want to regain control of Shanghai and directly conspire with Chinese agents to kill Japanese officials?
The three of them looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, their expressions became serious.
"Could it be that you haven't been doing any opium business during this period?"
Jiang Yifan asked again.
Well! This question makes sense. In the opium business, you haven’t moved the inventory for a month. Who are you trying to fool?
Kawauchi Yuta thought with a look of disbelief.
"Captain! You don't know that business is not good right now. The account for the last batch of goods has not been collected yet, so this batch of goods is temporarily on hand. I always thought that there would be no worries about selling it, but who knows when the opium will turn into bullets? Captain! I never dreamed of it!"
Zhang Jizhong said with a bitter face.
"Who helped you put the wooden box under the sofa?"
Jiang Yifan was not in a hurry and asked again.
Yes! We must also find out that there may be helpers who are playing tricks on us?
"No one else but my two bodyguards knew about it, and they put it in there themselves."
Zhang Jizhong is in trouble now and can hardly protect himself, so will he still care about his two bodyguards?
So he sold out the two bodyguards without hesitation.
Jiang Yifan ordered Kudoichi beside him, "Take two team members and interrogate the two bodyguards separately."
"Hayi!"
Kudo responded and turned and left.
Then, Jiang Yifan asked Kawauchi Yuta to take the note in the wooden box to Zhang Jizhong and let him read it.
After seeing this, Zhang Jizhong's face suddenly changed.
He thought to himself that this time it was all over. He didn't expect that it was done by Chinese agents who framed him.
Why? Was it because he was close to the Japanese and donated huge sums of money to them twice that he was framed like this?
But, the Japanese came and you ran away. In order to survive, can we survive if we don’t surrender to the Japanese?
Alas! It’s hard to be a person, and it’s even harder to be a businessman!
"Who do you know on this note?"
Jiang Yifan looked at Zhang Jizhong and asked again.
Sato Ichiro, who was outside the door, immediately became impatient. If he continued like this, he would be betrayed by that bastard Zhang Jizhong. So, he said angrily:
"We can't let Shimahashi Shinichi continue the trial! He's not getting the point at all."
"What's wrong? Why do I feel that Shinichi Shimahashi's interrogation is very normal?" Keiko Tanaka replied.
Hihara Ryosuke also interrupted, "Don't disturb Shimahashi Shinichi, let him continue the interrogation."
Ichiro Sato was like an ant on a hot pan. He turned around three times. In the end, he looked helplessly at the interrogation room, waiting for the result.
"Captain! I recognize all the names on the note, except the lighter!"
Zhang Jizhong looked at Jiang Yifan and told the truth.
This made Ryosuke Hihara who was outside the door very disappointed. He waited for a long time but in vain.
Especially Tanaka Keiko, she was extremely disappointed. She really hoped that through Zhang Jizhong, she could find out the traitor in the lighter!
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Keiko Tanaka secretly made up her mind to find a way to pry the lighter out of Zhang Jizhong's mouth.
Hearing this, Jiang Yifan muttered to himself, will he let you pass if he doesn't know you?
Today you will probably die because of the name of lighter.
"Okay! Then tell me how you got to know these Japanese people? What do you know about them? Tell the truth." Jiang Yifan reminded in an orderly manner.
Upon hearing this, Sato Ichiro said angrily again: "Colonel Hihara, I suggest that this topic should be cancelled because it has little to do with lighters!"
"How is it not related? Commander, you have to know that Zhang Jizhong wants to kill us. What does he know about us? At that point, shouldn't we get to the bottom of it?"
Tanaka Keiko retorted.
In fact, although Ryosuke Hihara and Keiko Tanaka didn't know the specific reason for Sato Ichiro's impatient attitude, they could guess it was that he must have taken money that he shouldn't have taken.
However, this is a matter of great importance to the fate of the entire Shanghai of the Empire of Japan. How could they let it go easily without getting to the bottom of things?
"Captain, I used to be best friends with Commander Sato. In order to maintain friendly relations with the Empire of Japan, I once donated 10,000 yuan to the Military Police Headquarters." Zhang Jizhong had already started talking and began to tell the truth.
Just then, Keiko Tanaka opened the door and waved to Jiang Yifan.
Jiang Yifan got up and went outside.
"Change the ten thousand dollars Zhang Jizhong just confessed to to one thousand dollars, and don't record the irrelevant figures at the end. Do you understand?"
Keiko Tanaka warned.
Jiang Yifan looked back at Sato Ichiro and said with a smile: "Chief, I understand! But I think we have to pay more!"
