"He didn't cause any trouble, but we didn't know they were your people at the time, so we used some tricks on him.

I may need to rest for a while after I return.”

Xu Zhongyi was relieved when he heard Zhou Zhengqing say that. As long as the person was not dead, it was fine. When he arrived at the military police, it would be good to be able to get out intact, and interrogation was also essential.

Now he thought that when he saw the assassination of others, he would find that the only person being interrogated was the man named Chen Yuanwei.

"As long as no one is hurt, it's fine. They deserved to be punished. You said that they had a misunderstanding and fought with the police. Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

"Oh, Xu Sang knows why they had a conflict with the police?" Zhou Zhengqing also wanted to hear how the Military Control Commission would help those people lie.

"Don't laugh at me. I'm telling you the truth. This is all my fault. The flour mill is a new business we acquired just to make it easier to process grain in the future.

You know, Harbin has not been peaceful recently. I asked them to guard the flour mill, but I didn't expect them to... Oh... It's all my fault for not explaining it clearly."

Xu Zhongyi said this with a look of regret on his face, and it didn't look like he was lying at all.

Zhou Zhengqing smiled without commenting. Then he asked.

"I wonder what kind of business Xu-san is doing in Manchukuo that requires him to purchase a flour mill?"

"I just transport some food to the interior, mainly soybeans, bean cakes and the like, and occasionally I also collect some furs and medicinal herbs.

Then they brought cloth, cotton yarn, tea, tobacco, alcohol and the like from the interior to Manchukuo. As you know, some people in Manchukuo liked these things.

This time the flour market is good, so I'm thinking about doing some flour business."

"Mr. Xu must have a big business, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous." Zhou Zhengqing said as he flicked the check in his hand.

When Xu Zhongyi saw Zhou Zhengqing asking this, he thought Zhou Zhengqing had some ideas, but he knew that the Japanese devils were very greedy for money.

He quickly complained. "It's not a big business, I just make a living. The relationship between Manchukuo and the interior of China is not very good, and the handling fees for entering and leaving the country take up most of the profit."

Zhou Zhengqing smiled and suddenly said, "Xu Sang, whatever you can earn is good. Maybe in three or four months, you won't have such a good business anymore."

Xu Zhongyi was stunned, not understanding what Zhou Zhengqing meant. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively. "What are you talking about?"

"That's just what I said. You also said that the relationship between Manchukuo and the interior of China is not very good. If a war breaks out, won't your business be ruined?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhongyi's heart skipped a beat. He felt as if he had heard something very important. His expression also turned unnatural.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengqing understood that Xu Zhongyi must have understood what he said.

He continued with a smile. "But it doesn't matter. If you can't do business in the future, you can come to me. I might be able to find you a good deal."

"Really? Then I really want to thank you, Captain Takazaki. If that day ever comes, I will definitely come and visit you with gifts."

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me. With this, our gendarmerie welcomes you, Mr. Xu, at any time." Zhou Zhengqing flicked the check again, looking like a money-grubber.

Soon, Xu Zhongyi, who had something on his mind, said goodbye to Zhou Zhengqing.

Zhou Zhengqing had no intention of continuing the conversation. He had already said what he wanted to convey through Xu Zhongyi.

Next, we will have to see the reactions of the bigwigs behind Xu Zhongyi.

However, Zhou Zhengqing did not hold out much hope. After all, in the eyes of the principal, actively preparing for war would only cause further hostility between the two countries.

At this time, the contradiction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was the main contradiction in Chinese society. In order to preserve his military strength, the president had been implementing a policy of non-resistance.

If the losses in a war are too great, it will affect his own authoritarian rule, so he is more willing to pin his hopes on the intervention of European and American countries.

Hope to stabilize the domestic situation and seek diplomatic solutions by implementing the policy of "pacifying the country before fighting foreign enemies"

Moreover, there is a general belief within the Kuomintang that China's military weapons and equipment are inferior to those of Japan, and resistance may lead to the country's demise.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengqing sighed.

I don’t know whether our early warning this time can serve as a warning to them.

Standing in front of the window, I watched Xu Zhongyi lead a dozen people out of the gendarmerie.

Zhou Zhengqing then turned around and walked back, and when he passed by the coffee table, he reached out and picked up the check for $20,000 from the coffee table.

He smiled and put it away.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Nakamura Shunsuke walked in. He was followed by three old acquaintances.

"Captain Nakamura, I haven't seen you for a few days. What is your team busy with? I didn't see you guys at the police station just now."

Zhou Zhengqing looked at Nakamura Goro curiously. Ever since Nakamura Goro called him to tell him about the police department's operation, they had not contacted or seen each other for a few days.

"Haha, Captain Yingqi, you are a busy man, how can you have time to pay attention to us little characters.

I heard that just now, Captain Yingqi went to the National Police Agency to show off the power of the military police again. "

Goro Nakamura walked over with a smile, and at Zhou Zhengqing's gesture, sat down on the sofa.

"Oh! Team leader Nakamura, are you here to call me to task?" Zhou Zhengqing asked with a smile.

"Don't get me wrong, we don't have that idea."

Nakamura Goro had a little understanding of Zhou Zhengqing, so he spoke more easily. "We are here to say goodbye to Captain Yingqi. We are going back to Xinjing."

Zhou Zhengqing was puzzled, why did they have to leave so soon? Although the purpose of their trip was to capture anti-Japanese elements, and the capture operation was coming to an end.

But the three of them had not made any progress in their apparent mission. The Iron-Blooded Assassination Group of the Military Control Commission had just been released by them, and they might have met them outside the gendarmerie.

Just leave like this and you won’t investigate Zhou Yi’s case?

Don’t we even need to finish the superficial work?

Could it be that because they knew that Fatty was coming, the three of them wanted to avoid him and returned to Xinjing early?

Zhou Zhengqing also saw the reactions of these three guys after Shibuya Saburo came last time. They had no intention of getting involved in Harbin's affairs.

Despite this guess, Zhou Zhengqing still wanted to ask.

"Team Leader Nakamura is in such a hurry to leave, what about Zhou Yi's case?"

"Zhou Yi? That little policeman, huh." Nakamura Goro sneered and continued, "Captain Yingqi doesn't know that we have a new mission. We must rush back to Xinjing as soon as possible."

"Oh? What kind of mission is it? Why are you so urgent? Would you mind telling us?" Zhou Zhengqing asked curiously.

Nakamura Goro pretended to be regretful, with a somewhat tangled expression, as if he was extremely regretful for "accidentally" letting the cat out of the bag again.

Turning his head to look at Honjo Katsu who had a confused look on his face, and Yamada Hideo who was also daydreaming, Goro Nakamura sighed.

When Zhou Zhengqing saw this scene, he complained to Goro Nakamura in his heart, "If you want to tell me, just say it directly, why bother?"

“Captain Yingzaki, you have a good relationship with the commander and chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.

Then I will not hide it from you. The Kwantung Army plans to launch a tentative attack on the Soviet garrison in the Far East between May and July.

This will help us understand the Soviet Union’s true combat strength in the Far East.

Our Manchurian Railway Investigation Department received an order from the Kwantung Army, asking us to provide as much intelligence as possible on the Soviet garrison. That’s why we hurried back.”
