However, it is obviously impossible for Hou Hongwei to write the biographies of so many people awaiting trial personally.

So he called his secretary Mao Wenyuan to help him take notes. He was just supervising from the side. At the beginning, everyone was very serious and even nervous, but as time went on, it gradually became a formality.

After all, there were one or two hundred people who had to be thoroughly searched, interrogated, and then have their statements taken, etc. This process was a huge test of everyone's endurance.

Jiang Yifan, Xiong Chuan Dahui, He Tianfeng, and Hou Hongwei just kept going out for a walk and breathing some fresh air.

"Isn't this too slow?" Xiongchuan Dahui came back from the bathroom and said to Jiang Yifan in the corridor.

Jiang Yifan actually came out to observe the situation outside, and more importantly, he wanted to see how many people were ahead of the middle-aged man in the top hat. When he heard Xiongchuan Dahui's complaints, he replied:

"The main reason is that Director Li seems to be a little worried about us and doesn't dare to let us handle the case independently. In order to avoid suspicion, we should go slow. This will make everyone feel at ease and avoid suspicion."

"If we had followed my method, it would have been over by now." Kumakawa Daiki complained and walked into the interrogation room.

Jiang Yifan looked through the window of the conference room and saw that the middle-aged man in the top hat had stood up and was walking outside with heavy steps, escorted by four No. 76s. His heart immediately started beating wildly.

The moment that would decide the fate of the middle-aged man in the top hat was coming. Could it be that Mao Wenyuan really had to go to the bathroom urgently, just as he had imagined in his mind?

The previous pictures showed things that happened in the past, but this time it’s about predicting the future!

Jiang Yifan was nervous, but he appeared calm on the surface and walked into the interrogation room.

As soon as he came in, four agents No. 76, escorting a middle-aged man in a top hat, pushed the door open and walked in.

Xiongchuan Dahui looked at the middle-aged man in the top hat and tried to persuade him:

"Don't be nervous, sit down! If you can confess voluntarily, I can guarantee that you will be safe and I will forgive you for what happened. But if you are found out, not only will you be severely punished, but your family and even your town will be implicated. I advise you to think it over carefully, because everyone only has one chance."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man in the top hat looked frightened and immediately stood up. He replied to Kumagawa Daiki timidly:

"Director! I am a good citizen who wholeheartedly wants to make due contributions to the Great Japanese Empire. I can swear to heaven that I, Ma Zhonghong, have never done and would never dare to do such a conscienceless and treasonous thing. Please believe me, Director!"

"Yoshi! Name? Age? Which county? Which village? What's your position? How many years have you been working?"

Seeing the rural cadre in front of him who was so terrified and claimed to be Ma Zhonghong, Xiongchuan Daihui immediately lost his patience. He asked all the basic questions in one breath and waited for Ma Zhonghong's answer.

Jiang Yifan kept staring at Mao Wenyuan, anxious, wondering why this kid didn't show any signs of being in a hurry? Shouldn't he be fidgeting now?

Golden finger! Old man! You must not let me down at the critical moment!

"My name is Ma Zhonghong! I am 48 years old this year. I am from Mazhuang Village, Dige Township, Lushi County. I used to be the head of Mazhuang Village and the head of Dige Township during the Republic of China. This time, I was favored by the Secretary-General and was appointed as the head of Dige Township under the rule of the Empire of Japan!"

Ma Zhonghong looked at Kumakawa Daiki and answered truthfully with trembling eyes.

At this time, Hou Hongwei pushed the door open and walked in, taking away a part of Mao Wenyuan's transcript, which made Jiang Yifan's heart skip a beat.

Finish the calf!

I didn't expect Hou Hongwei to appear at this time. This time Mao Wenyuan was in a hurry, so he would definitely let Hou Hongwei take over from him.

Alas! It seems that unless you persuade me specifically, I am still unreliable!

"Secretary Hou, you've arrived just in time. Please take my place for a moment while I go to the bathroom. The transcript is ready, and I'm just waiting for fingerprints."

When Mao Wenyuan saw Hou Hongwei, he felt like he had seen a life-saving straw and said.

Jiang Yifan didn't even look at Hou Hongwei and Mao Wenyuan. He was still looking at Xiongchuan Dahui and interrogating Ma Zhonghong, but all his attention was on Hou Hongwei and Mao Wenyuan.

"The secretary general is waiting for the transcript. So, let Section Chief Shimahashi take your place for a while."

After Hou Hongwei finished speaking, he turned and left.

Hearing this, Jiang Yifan's heart finally settled down, and he didn't forget to give a big thumbs up to the old man with the golden finger!

Old man! Awesome!

Seeing several secret agents searching Ma Zhonghong, Mao Wenyuan could not help but whispered:

"Chief Shimahashi! Can you help me?"

Jiang Yifan then turned around and pretended to know nothing and asked:

"what happened?"

"The transcript of Ma Zhonghong's statement has been completed. All that's left is fingerprints. Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Can you take care of it for me for a while?"

Mao Wenyuan looked at Jiang Yifan and said with a servile look on his face.

"No problem! Go ahead! Just leave this to me!"

Jiang Yifan agreed readily.

"Thank you! Thank you, Chief Daoqiao!" Mao Wenyuan nodded and bowed to Jiang Yifan, then ran out of the interrogation room with his body bent.

After the search, nothing was found, not even a playing card.

"Okay! You passed, go and take your fingerprints!" Xiongchuan Daihui said impatiently to Ma Zhonghong.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Chief Xiongchuan!" Ma Zhonghong flattered Xiongchuan Dahui and walked towards Jiang Yifan.

"Take the next one away!" Daiki Kumagawa ordered numbly.

"Ha!" The four No. 76 agents turned and left.

Ma Zhonghong came to Jiang Yifan and kowtowed again:

"Chief Shimahashi, where do you want to put your fingerprints?"

Jiang Yifan could see that although Ma Zhonghong appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous inside. This meant that he knew what taking fingerprints meant to him.

In order to relieve the pressure, Jiang Yifan deliberately casually moved the blank paper that was previously placed under the transcript and showed it to Ma Zhonghong. He pointed at the blank space and said carelessly:

"Press your fingerprints here. Your thumb, middle finger, and index finger."

Hearing this, Ma Zhonghong couldn't help but feel confused.

What the hell is going on here? How can I press on a blank piece of paper instead of my own notes?

He was probably really confused, but who cares? He was the one who asked me to press it. At least I would be safe for a while.

God really has eyes!

Thinking of this, Ma Zhonghong pressed his fingerprints on the blank paper without hesitation.
