After Katsumura Yota regained consciousness, he asked in great surprise:

"Why am I here?"

"Why can't you be here? You pointed a gun at Chief Shimabashi. Have you forgotten everything?"

Colonel Aso looked at the confused Katsumura Yota and asked angrily.

"That's right! Wasn't I pointing a gun at Chief Shimabashi? How come I suddenly lost consciousness when I turned around?"

Katsumura Yota still asked with confusion.

"As soon as you turned around, Chief Shimahashi knocked you unconscious with a gun! Do you think that all Special High Section Chiefs are vegetarians? I am officially informing you now that I will put you in solitary confinement for ten days upon Commander Matsubara's order!"

Colonel Aso looked at Katsumura Yota and said with a serious face.

"Why? I am the victim!" Katsumura Yota shouted with an indignant look on his face.

"You are innocent? Do you know that even if Chief Shimahashi knocked you unconscious, he could have shot you dead, which is only natural. Putting you in solitary confinement is the lightest punishment Commander Matsubara can give you. I hope you will behave yourself in the future!"

After Colonel Aso finished speaking, he ordered the two guards beside him:

"Put Lieutenant Colonel Katsumura Yota in solitary confinement for ten days, without any mistake!"

"Hayi!"

The two guards responded and were about to take Katsumura Yota to the confinement room, but Katsumura Yota flew into a rage:

"Who of you dares? I want to see Commander Songyuan!"

Colonel Aso saw this and did not dare to force it. After all, Katsumura Yota was a favorite of Commander Matsubara. He was afraid that Katsumura Yota would do something extreme in anger, so he compromised:

"Okay! Then let's go see Commander Songyuan now!"

So, he went to the headquarters office with Katsumura Yota.

"Snapped!"

When Commander Songyuan saw Katsumura Yota, he gave him a loud slap in the face without saying anything:

"Baga! You are so outrageous. Why don't you cooperate with the investigation?"

"Report to the commander! Shimahashi Shinichi, he actually suspected me?"

Katsumura Yota was slapped as soon as he came up, but he stood up straighter and complained like a villain.

"Don't mention you. Now everyone is a suspect unless you find the traitor. Do you understand?"

Commander Matsubara swung his right hand and gave Katsumura Yota another loud slap in the face.

"Snapped!"

"Hayi!"

Katsumura Yota was slapped twice in a row and bowed to Matsubara in response.

"Ten days of confinement, not a day less. Get out!" Matsubara looked at Katsumura Yota and cursed angrily.

"Hayi!"

Katsumura Yota responded and turned and left.

Colonel Aso saw it all and felt happy. He bowed to Matsubara and turned away.

Not only Colonel Aso, but also other Japanese officers in the office felt secretly relieved.

This time I've met a tough guy, this is retribution!

Katsumura Yota sat in the confinement room with his head hung, feeling filled with resentment towards Jiang Yifan!

When had he ever suffered such a great injustice? Not only was he forced to sit down at gunpoint by Shimabashi Shinichi, he was also knocked unconscious by his gun, and he was also slapped twice by the commander. He must pay him back double for this.

Damn it, when I was making great contributions to the empire, you were still wearing open-crotch pants. Now you want to ride on my head and show off your power? You are simply courting death.

No! He must find a way to regain his position, otherwise his position of being the one that no one dares to provoke will collapse.

Humph! Shimahashi Shinichi, just wait for me in ten days.

Jiang Yifan was discussing with Kumagawa Daiki, Kuikei Rikuto, and Sotoike Mitsuki how to conduct the investigation next, when he suddenly sneezed:

"Damn it! Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"

"Could it be that thug Katsumura Yota? This guy is very vengeful, Chief! I advise you to be careful with him!"

Because of his low status, Mitsuki Gaiike usually doesn't talk much. When he heard Jiang Yifan's teasing, he just answered casually.

"What Wai Chi-kun said is correct. This guy has Commander Songyuan's protection, so he is used to being arrogant. Now he has suddenly suffered such a big setback in front of you. He will definitely not let it go after the confinement is over."

Upon hearing this, Daiki Kumagawa also gave a reminder.

"Then find an excuse and let him stay a few more days, so that he won't come out and cause trouble." Kuikei Rikuto suggested.

"This is a good idea! But what excuse can we find?" Jiang Yifan asked after thinking for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a picture emerged in Jiang Yifan's mind.

[In the northwest corner of the headquarters, there is a separate courtyard with a south-facing gate and houses on all four sides. The east and west sides are all filled with grain, and the north side is where the Japanese soldiers guarding the grain depot live. It seems that the defense is not too strict, and there are Japanese military vehicles coming in and out from time to time to transport grain.]

Seeing this, Jiang Yifan couldn't help but feel happy.

If we blow up the grain warehouse and find a way to frame Katsumura Yota, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

"We will go meet Katsumura Yota tomorrow and ask him to tell us who has been assigned to protect Tokita Haruto. Then, we can go find these people and ask them. We may get some unexpected results."

Sotoike Mitsuki spoke again.

"Yoshi! Maybe we can really find clues that expose Haruto Tokida's whereabouts!" Daiki Kumagawa also agreed.

"Then, based on the confessions of these people, interrogate Katsumura Yota. As long as there are discrepancies in the confessions, there will be a reason to keep Katsumura Yota out."

Kuikei Rikuto also said casually.

"Okay! It's settled. We'll go to the detention room tomorrow and interrogate Katsumura Yota."

Finally, Jiang Yifan made the final decision.

After unloading the grain, Li Qun returned to Shanghai and drove directly to the gendarmerie headquarters.

"Director Li? How have you been doing these days?" Sato Ichiro asked with concern when he saw Li Qun walk into the office.

"Report to the Commander! I have collected a total of 25 tons of food in the past few days and have sent it to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. I just came back and report to you!"

Li Qun looked at Sato Ichiro and answered while standing at attention.

"Yoshi! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li!" Sato Ichiro nodded happily.

Seeing that Sato Ichiro was very happy, Li Qun took the opportunity to ask:

"Commander Sato, I heard that the Expeditionary Force Headquarters will soon cooperate with the Wang Puppet Government to set up a committee to clean up the countryside. Have you heard about it?"

"Oh? Mr. Li is well-informed. This is indeed the case. Why? What do you think?"

Ichiro Sato could guess as soon as he heard it that Li Qun wanted to get this job, so he asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"To be honest, I am willing to take on this responsibility and serve the Great Japanese Empire. I hope you will recommend me when the time comes. Li Qun will definitely not forget it."

As Li Qun spoke, he placed a package of ten large yellow croakers in front of Sato Ichiro.
