The next morning, a commendation and appointment meeting was held again in the conference room of the gendarmerie headquarters.

At the meeting, Ichiro Sato, Chaoyang Tokita, and Ryosuke Hihara all gave great praise to the Special High Section action team, especially Shinichi Shimabashi, and gave Jiang Yifan a reward of 1,000 yuan, Kudo Hajime and Kawauchi Yuta each a reward of 500 yuan, and each team member a reward of 200 yuan.

At the same time, we expressed condolences to the sacrificed team members, and mailed pensions to their families to express our sympathy.

Finally, Ichiro Sato solemnly announced that Shinichi Shimabashi would be specially appointed to the International Settlement to serve as a director of the Public Affairs Bureau and concurrently as deputy chief minister of the International Settlement.

For a moment, there was warm applause in the conference hall.

At this moment, a Japanese military policeman walked up to Sato Ichiro and said:

"Report! Commander, we just received news that the pseudo-Foreign Minister Chen Daxian and Secretary General Bai Jingting were both killed in their homes last night."

On the rostrum, the faces of Tokita Chaoyang, Hihara Ryosuke, Tanaka Keiko, and Li Qun immediately fell.

"Baga! The damn Chinese agents stabbed us in the back and killed us while we were dealing with the International Settlement!"

Sato Ichiro slapped the table and cursed loudly.

Jiang Yifan was secretly happy when he heard this. This is called gain and loss! Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand!

So, everyone went non-stop and went to the homes of the two pseudo-senior officials one after another to check the scene.

"Mr. Li! I'll give you five days to bring the murderer to justice."

Ichiro Sato looked at Li Qun and gave loud orders.

Li Qun gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, "You don't even think of me when there are good things happening. All the bad water jars are mine."

But he only dared to think about it in his heart, and answered firmly:

"Hayi!"

Afterwards, everyone left the scene with gloomy faces.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yifan, accompanied by Sato Ichiro, Tokita Chaoyang, Hihara Ryosuke, and Tanaka Keiko, came to the Public Affairs Bureau of the International Settlement again and introduced Jiang Yifan, the Japanese director and deputy chief executive of the International Settlement, to General Manager Evan.

"Mr. Shimahashi, welcome to become the director of the International Settlement and concurrently serve as the deputy chief landlord. Not only are you young and promising, but you also speak English. You are exactly the person I want. I hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

After President Evan looked at Jiang Yifan and finished speaking, he politely shook hands with Jiang Yifan.

"Thank you for the recognition from CEO Evan. I hope CEO Evan can support my work!"

Jiang Yifan answered modestly.

"As for the placement of detectives and patrol officers at each grassroots police station, you can discuss it directly with Chief Adams."

Finally, General Manager Evan said.

After arranging Jiang Yifan's job in the International Settlement, Sato Ichiro and Tokita Chaoyang left the International Settlement and went about their own business.

However, Ryosuke Hihara and Keiko Tanaka went directly to the General Police Station with Jiang Yifan.

After consultation with Adams's room captain, the interrogation of Johnson began.

Keiko Tanaka presided over the trial, Ryosuke Hihara and Adams served as jurors on both sides, and Jiang Yifan was the translator. The other team members were waiting outside the door for orders.

With Jiang Yifan's translation, after asking about Johnson's basic situation, Tanaka Keiko went straight to the point: "Tell me! Who called the lighter?"

The two murders of fake high-ranking officials that just happened have once again made the two big villains, Keiko Tanaka and Ryosuke Hihara, more vigilant.

The Chinese agents who seem to have disappeared are actually still hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Therefore, Keiko Tanaka and Ryosuke Hihara communicated with each other and decided to look for traces of the lighter on Johnson's body.

So, the first question Keiko Tanaka asked Johnson was about the lighter!

When Jiang Yifan translated Tanaka Keiko's question to Johnson, Johnson was obviously confused:

"Who is the lighter? Is the lighter a person? I don't understand!"

This answer made both Tanaka Keiko and Hihara Ryosuke a little disappointed.

After all, this was a sudden question from Keiko Tanaka. If Johnson knew about lighters or had heard of the name lighter, his expression would definitely have been a little surprised!

This was the interrogation plan that Keiko Tanaka and Ryosuke Hihara had discussed in advance. If there was no major progress, they would have to proceed with the interrogation step by step. However, the two no longer had much hope for Johnson.

The interrogation that followed was dull and boring. Since there was no real evidence, torture could not be used and it was impossible to make any significant progress.

So, Keiko Tanaka and Ryosuke Hihara asked briefly and drove away.

"Deputy Chief Shimahashi, is there any need to continue the interrogation?"

Room Manager Adams looked at Jiang Yifan and asked.

Jiang Yifan had his own plans in mind when he heard this.

Johnson was innocent, and he knew it. However, since Johnson was brutal, ruthless, and had a gun in his hand, letting him go would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely put himself to death!

The kind that you don’t even think about!

Therefore, Johnson must die, and he deserves to die for his crime of selling opium.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifan replied: "First, lock him up for two days. I will interrogate Zhang Jizhong, and then continue the interrogation!"

Adams thought about it and did not raise any objections. Instead, he asked, "It doesn't matter how many days I am detained. As long as you interrogate me, I must be present. Is that okay?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Adams. I will definitely do what you ask!"

Jiang Yifan answered respectfully to Adams, the room manager.

Afterwards, Jiang Yifan took his people and left the International Settlement. He found a restaurant, ordered a table of food and a few bottles of good wine, and started eating and drinking with everyone.

Every team member was excited and smiling.

I have been doing very well these days following Jiang Yifan, with food, drinks and money to earn!

After dinner, everyone dispersed and went home. Jiang Yifan passed by Laoliu Delicatessen and briefly recounted what had happened.

"Boy! You are now in a prosperous career and have great fortune!" Xiao Yunlong said to Jiang Yifan with a happy look on his face.

Boss Dai was delighted when he read the telegram from the Lighter Group:

"Hahaha! Not only can they provide accurate intelligence, but they can also be successful and have a prosperous career. Give the Lighter Team and Yuan Cheng a reward of 200 yuan each!"

At this point, Boss Dai suddenly said seriously, "Tell Yuan Cheng about the general situation of Johnson being held in the International Settlement Police Station, and order Yuan Cheng to get the arms in Johnson's warehouse as soon as possible! This will create a more intense conflict between the Japanese and the British."
