Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

The sheriff seemed to remember something and said, "Old Chang, there's something I don't understand."

Old Chang looked at the police chief.

The sheriff asked, "Why were the Japanese spies outside all skinned alive, while these three were only nailed to the wall and not tortured after death?"

Old Chang thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the perpetrator thought the three of them were different from those Japanese spies, or perhaps he ran out of time."

Just then, Officer Xiao Wang's voice came from one of the rooms: "Chief, Lao Chang, look, there's an interrogation room here!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wang's shout, Lao Chang and the police chief immediately turned around and found the room where Xiao Wang was.

The walls inside the room were covered with many instruments of torture. In the middle was a fixed wooden frame, and the charcoal in the brazier next to it was still burning. The iron blocks in the brazier were glowing red. On the other side were instruments of torture such as the tiger bench, the wooden donkey, and the electric chair.

Entering the interrogation room, Old Chang sniffed and said, "There's a smell of blood here."

He went to the wooden frame and saw several sections of cut rope on the ground. He picked them up, examined them, and said, "These should be the ropes used to bind the prisoner. They've been cut, so the prisoner must have been rescued."

The sheriff picked up a leather whip from one of the officers' desks, examined it, then brought it to his nose to smell it. Turning to Old Chang, he said, "There's blood on this whip, and bits of flesh stuck to it."

Old Chang was examining the other instruments of torture. "We've used a hammer, a tiger bench, an electric chair... we've used those too."

The sheriff put down his whip and picked up the unfinished interrogation record from the table. His expression changed drastically, and he looked up, saying, "Old Chang, come and see, the prisoner is actually Inspector Fan!"

"What?" Old Chang was shocked and immediately came over to take the interrogation record and read it.

After reading it, he asked in confusion, "Wasn't Inspector Fan arrested and taken to the Special Higher Police? Why is he being interrogated here?"

The sheriff, familiar with the Special Higher Police's modus operandi, said, "It's not necessarily safe inside the Special Higher Police. As far as I know, many people have been killed within the Special Higher Police several times, and the perpetrators haven't been identified afterward. Moreover, there are definitely undercover agents within the Special Higher Police. The fact that they brought Inspector Fan here and interrogated him secretly is probably because they don't want secrets to leak out."

"It seems someone killed all the Japanese spies here and those three Japanese ninjas outside, and rescued Inspector Fan."

Old Chang nodded after listening, agreeing with the police chief's deduction. He sighed, "Inspector Fan is a good man. He's fair in rewards and punishments and considerate of his subordinates. Two years ago, my youngest son was sick and needed surgery at the hospital, which cost two hundred silver dollars. How could I possibly come up with that much money? When Inspector Fan found out, he immediately sent someone to the hospital to pay the surgery fee, and he didn't even let anyone tell me that he took the money."

The sheriff pointed to the interrogation record and said, "Judging from the contents of the interrogation record, the Special Higher Police have interrogated us for so long but haven't gotten anything useful. We should leave it here. If we take it away, and the Special Higher Police come to investigate, we'll be suspected of treason."

Indeed, there was nothing of value in the interrogation transcript; Fan Biao didn't say anything.

"Sir, Inspector Sakai has arrived with his men and they're already outside the warehouse gate," Officer Zhang's voice came from the corridor.

"Go, go and greet them quickly," the sheriff said, then immediately turned and left.

Old Chang put down the interrogation record and followed.

When the group rushed to the gate, Police Inspector Sakai and a large group of police officers were already standing beneath Yamaguchi Naohisa's body.

"Inspector Sakai, you've arrived!" The police chief quickly led Lao Chang forward to greet him.

Since the Japanese soldiers took over the International Settlement, all the main and secondary leaders of the police department and various police stations have been replaced by Japanese officials. Some of these Japanese officials in the police department and police stations were transferred from China, while others were transferred from the front lines.

Sakai glanced at the sheriff and said, "Baka yarou, who did this? How could they be so cruel?"

Upon hearing this, the sheriff cursed inwardly, "Damn it, you're a demon whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent civilians, yet you dare to accuse others of cruelty? You're utterly shameless!"

He quickly took several identification documents from Officer Zhang standing next to him and handed them over, saying, "Inspector Sakai, these were found among the deceased's clothing. They should be from the Special Higher Police."

"What?! Someone from the Special Higher Police?" Sakai hurriedly took the identification from the police chief and opened it to check.

After looking through several documents, his expression changed drastically: "They really are from the Special Higher Police!"

“Yes, Inspector Sakai, based on the initial findings of the on-site investigation, it appears that the murderer stripped them naked after killing them and threw their clothes aside, then hung the bodies up before subjecting them to the torture of skinning them alive,” the sheriff said.

He then cautiously asked, "Do you think we should call and notify the Special Higher Police to send someone over?"

Sakai suddenly slapped his forehead: "Baka! I almost forgot, you need to send someone to call the Special Higher Police!"

"Hayi!"

The sheriff agreed to immediately send someone to call and notify the Special Higher Police.

He then said to Sakai Chenggong, "Sir, there are two more corpses on these two sides, and several more over at the warehouse where the lights are on—three at the entrance and three inside the warehouse, making a total of nine corpses."

"In addition, there is a large basement under that lit warehouse. This used to be a slaughterhouse, so there is an underground cold storage. We found three murdered men in black in the corridor of the underground cold storage. They were nailed to the wall by the killer!"

"There was an interrogation room in the underground cold storage. We suspect it was a secret facility used by the Special Higher Police to detain and interrogate suspects. Before the incident, people were probably still being interrogated in that room, but then someone broke in, killed all the Special Higher Police personnel there, and rescued the people being interrogated."

“Take me to see!” Sakai Chenggong said immediately.

"Hai, Inspector Sakai, this way please."

Led by the sheriff, Sakai and the others quickly arrived at the brightly lit warehouse entrance. Upon seeing the three corpses hanging under the eaves, an invisible fear rose from the bottom of everyone's heart.

The discomfort that had been building up at the gate could no longer be contained, and several police officers who had come with Sakai Chenggong couldn't help but run to the side and vomit.

Residence of Tadayoshi Sakata, head of the Special Higher Police.

Suddenly, the telephone rang shrilly in the bedroom: "Ring ring..."

Sakata Tadayoshi woke up, removed his wife's arm from his body, and got up to answer the phone. He thought that Aso Saburo's interrogation of Fan Biao had already yielded results.

"Fan Biao must have confessed because he couldn't endure the torture!" Thinking of this, Sakata Tadashi couldn't help but feel excited. He had previously suspected that Fan Biao was related to the Higanbana intelligence group because he had checked the relevant files from that year. When Fan Biao was arrested and rescued, it was during the Higanbana intelligence group's most active period.

"Mosimoxi?"

"Section Chief, Captain Aso and his men are in trouble. The police just called to say that Captain Aso Saburo and the eight men he brought to interrogate Fan Biao have all been killed. There are also three men in black nailed to the wall in the basement corridor," the Special Higher Police officer on duty said urgently on the phone.

With a clatter, the phone in Sakata Tadayoshi's hand fell to the ground.
