2 p.m.

After the morning's arrest operation, the captured anti-Japanese elements were subjected to brutal interrogation.

They were beaten and bruised all over, but they always held on to their beliefs and did not reveal any confidential information. However, the police department was unwilling to fail. After a lot of torture and bribery, someone finally couldn't stand the pressure and revealed an important clue.

There may be a large number of anti-Japanese elements in Harbin Higher Industrial School.

After receiving the news, the Special High Section of the National Police Agency and the Security Bureau immediately took action and dispatched a large number of agents to the school to search for the suspect.

The agents searched everywhere on campus and finally successfully captured 16 students and teachers.

These teachers and students were all members of the anti-Japanese organization. They actively participated in anti-Japanese activities and promoted anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese ideas in various places in Harbin.

In the following days, the National Police Agency, the Special Higher Police, and the Security Bureau continued to use various means to deal with the arrested students.

They tried to get students to confess more names of anti-Japanese elements through deception, torture and other means. Faced with various threats from the enemy, some students were overwhelmed and chose to surrender.

They revealed the identities and hiding places of other comrades, allowing the National Police Agency and others to further expand the scope of their crackdown.

Based on this new intelligence, the enemy launched a large-scale manhunt in Harbin. They searched in many schools and areas and captured more than 30 students.

Among them are students from many universities including Hosei University and Harbin Women's Normal University.

At the same time, the enemy also turned its attention to two busy streets, Post Street and Bank Street, based on intelligence obtained during interrogation.

A search operation was launched here. In this operation, a total of 7 suspects were arrested.

In addition, the Police Department and others also raided the underground party liaison stations in Daoli and Daowai districts.

In these places, they arrested a total of 15 underground party members. These people were warriors who fought against the Japanese invaders, and their arrest undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to the local anti-Japanese movement.

As time went on, the actions of the National Police Agency, the Special High Section, and the Security Bureau became more frequent. They continued to intensify their crackdowns on anti-Japanese elements.

On the third day, the National Police Agency, the Special High Section, and the Security Bureau, which already had a large amount of interrogation information in their hands, successfully arrested more than 5 people, destroyed 3 contact stations, and seized radio stations.

In the past few days, the National Police Agency, the Special Higher Police, and the Security Bureau have completely fallen into a state of madness.

Whenever someone was taken to the police station, they would be subjected to extremely cruel interrogations.

Every day, people who died from torture were thrown into mass graves outside the city.

As time went on, the number of people arrested continued to increase, the interrogation became more severe, the underground party organization's network in Harbin was severely damaged, and a huge gap was torn in the originally strict organizational structure.

It was at this time that Zhou Zhengqing, who was busy sorting out the interrogation records and reporting the reward for his lackeys to the Lushun Command, finally got the news.

"Damn it! They didn't even inform our gendarmerie about such an important operation!" Zhou Zhengqing's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He slammed the table hard, as if to vent all the anger in his heart. Then, he threw the microphone in his hand to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The person on the other end of the phone was Goro Nakamura, who explained to Zhou Zhengqing in detail the results of the police department's actions in the past few days. He also explained that he had been staying in the police department for the past few days and had no good opportunity to talk to Zhou Zhengqing about this matter.

It turned out that the National Police Agency, the Special Higher Police, and the Security Bureau were worried that the gendarmerie would try to steal the credit.

Although the gendarmerie said in front of Saburo Shibuya that they would not participate in subsequent operations, they still did not trust the gendarmerie after suffering heavy losses last time.

So this time several departments worked together to keep the news secret from the gendarmerie.

Akiyama Takeshi of the Special Higher Police has been following Goro Nakamura and his men, just in case Goro Nakamura tells the secret. In Akiyama Takeshi's opinion, with the relationship between Goro Nakamura and Shunsuke Nakamura, it is very likely that the news will be leaked.

When Zhou Zhengqing heard the news, he was stunned and his face turned ugly. He couldn't believe his ears. How could this happen? They said there would be no intelligence! Why could the police department still find clues?

Zhou Zhengqing's mood instantly fell to the bottom and he felt extremely depressed and lost.

At the same time, he was annoyed that he knew nothing about what was happening outside. He felt like a fool who was kept in the dark and knew nothing. This feeling made him very uncomfortable and even a little difficult to accept.

In the past, when I watched TV and movies, the villains were all very sharp-eyed and well-informed. But how come when it came to me, once the military police hid in my house, I became blind and deaf. Am I not a villain enough? My body is a pure chicken devil.

"Captain, at the last meeting, you promised General Shibuya that you would not participate in the subsequent operations."

Shunsuke Nakamura carefully reminded Zhou Zhengqing.

Zhou Zhengqing did not respond to Nakamura Shunsuke's words, but walked back and forth in the office in annoyance. He was only thinking about how to stop the police and the next move of the Special High Section.

Is there going to be another surprise raid to snatch people away?

No, I've done it once. I can do it again, but the consequence is that I will break off relations with the National Police Agency, the Special Higher Police, and the Security Bureau.

They had previously taken strong action against them, but after the mediation of Saburo Shibuya, the Military Police had already emerged victorious over them.

If they do the same thing as last time, they will be pulling the gendarmerie back to the same starting line as them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengqing looked at the people in the office.

"Do you have any ideas? I hope the police department's actions will encounter some resistance, or even fail." His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness.

Zhou Zhengqing knew clearly that if the police department's action succeeded, the underground party would probably have no foothold in Harbin.

Therefore, he had to find a way to stop this action, but his mind was in a mess at the moment and he couldn't think of any effective response for a while.

Zhou Zhengqing looked around at the people in front of him, hoping to get some inspiration from them. After all, although these people under him were all young people who had just graduated from school, as the saying goes, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang.

What's more, there are so many Japanese devils here. Is it really impossible to think of a good solution?

Aren't those little devils on TV very good at plotting and scheming? Zhou Zhengqing thought to himself. The situation was urgent now, and he had no time to care about too much. He could only hope that these men could come up with a feasible plan.

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Itai Yudai's eyes. He took a step forward.

"Captain, there is no need for us to stop them from arresting anti-Japanese elements." Without waiting for Zhou Zhengqing to say anything, he continued.

"The police can arrest anti-Japanese elements. We can arrest them too. If we can't solve the trouble, can't we solve the trouble maker?

I don't believe that when they arrest people, there will be no mistakes such as accidental injury or violation of the law. As long as they make mistakes, our military police have every reason to arrest them.

As long as any of their people are caught by our gendarmerie, we can even arrest everyone in the police department."

When Zhou Zhengqing heard this idea, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. However, this idea was not impossible.

The last operation was to protect and arrest the underground party members. This time, the gendarmerie is exercising its right to supervise. It is not a matter of grabbing credit. It is a matter of supervision over subordinate organizations as a manager. It is beneficial to the gendarmerie and can also rescue the underground party members.

"What you said is a good idea. But what about those anti-Japanese elements they want to capture? Should we snatch them away?"

Itai Yudai looked at Zhou Zhengqing in surprise. "Captain, what anti-Japanese elements?

Those are all suspects. If necessary, we will only arrest them and interrogate them. We, the military police, promised not to participate in the follow-up operations, and we will definitely not participate.

We are only maintaining social stability and supervising the enforcement of the law by the National Police Agency, the Special High Police, the Security Bureau and the Security Corps.

We don’t know who the anti-Japanese elements are, nor can we see who they are, and it is not our responsibility to arrest them this time.”

Hearing this, the people around looked at Itai Yudai with shocked eyes. Nakagawa Ken wanted to say something, but was glared at by his friend. So he held back.

"Yoshi, you are absolutely right. As the law enforcers of the Empire of Japan, we military police must have this kind of upright spirit." Zhou Zhengqing looked at Itai Yudai, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, with admiration. Then he looked at the three squad leaders, Mitsuda Shouma, Ichijo Yusuke, and Taniguchi Mayu.

"Convey my order. The headquarters and each detachment. Except for the injured military police, all of you will go out on patrol. Maintain the law and order and stability of Harbin. In addition, Itai Yudai, you will also follow their leader to issue orders. You must explain our attitude to the soldiers. Do you understand?"
