Chapter 553 Another Twist

After receiving Ye Shaohong's permission, the two Japanese devils immediately confessed.

No punishment was used.

After slaughtering Kuramoto Masao, these two little devils became very obedient.

Without Ye Shaohong needing to urge them, the two of them poured out everything they knew, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

Following Kuramoto Masao's train of thought, the two of them recalled what they had seen and heard eight or nine months earlier, during that light snowfall in winter.

According to the two of them, a mysterious person did indeed go to the Four Directions Casino that day.

They were personally received by the casino owner, who was also their superior.

The boss just values ​​this person a lot.

From the moment he entered the casino, the casino owner, who was also their superior, used special methods.

They simply kicked all the casino staff out.

They then took the mysterious man directly into the casino's office.

As for what the casino owner and the mysterious man said, the two Japanese devils had no idea.

They also had no chance to hear about it.

However, they also confirmed one thing for Ye Shaohong.

On that day, the snow was light, and the other person's height, build, and cough symptoms were indeed as Kuramoto Masao had described.

They also provided Ye Shaohong with a piece of information.

That mysterious person had a special, very fragrant scent...

But it's not the kind of scent that comes from a woman's rouge.

The smell was very unique. Although the two of them could smell it, they couldn't describe it. In short, it was very special.

This piqued Ye Shaohong's interest again.

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand and beckoned over a staff member from the interrogation department. He made the staff member lower his head and whispered something in the staff member's ear.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's order, the clerk immediately turned and left.

Ye Shaohong then asked the two Japanese devils about other details.

for example…….

Do they remember if the mysterious person had anything special about him?

Or it could be a mark. For example...

Kuramoto Masao visited the Four Directions Casino several times. Did he have any special relationship with the casino owner?

Do casino owners have any unusual hobbies?

How did he handle intelligence gathering after each meeting with Kuramoto Masao, and how did he deliver the intelligence after receiving it?

Ye Shaohong should have interrogated Kuramoto Masao with this information.

Unfortunately, that bastard Kuramoto Masao was too badly injured. The kid was quite afraid of dying, and under those circumstances, even if Ye Shaohong wanted to ask, Kuramoto Masao probably wouldn't give a proper answer.

It would be better to get confirmation from the words of these two Japanese devils.

It can be regarded as waste utilization.

And so, the three of them continued their conversation, albeit intermittently, for another half hour. Suddenly, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open from the outside.

Then, the interrogation officer who had just left returned, followed by a middle-aged woman carrying a bamboo basket.

Ye Shaohong had never seen this woman before.

But the moment she stepped into the interrogation room, Ye Shaohong smelled a very strong fragrance emanating from her.

Upon smelling the strong fragrance, Ye Shaohong had already guessed her identity.

What's more, this person was someone he personally instructed the interrogation department clerk to find from outside.

"Section Chief Ye, the person you asked me to find has arrived."

“She is the owner of Xianghuizhai, a century-old brand in Jinling City. She has been in the business of making and selling incense for more than ten years and has a family tradition of it. Having her work with you is probably the best choice.”

Hearing the interrogation officer's response, Ye Shaohong looked at the middle-aged woman in her thirties with great surprise.

As soon as she entered the interrogation room, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

obviously.

She was uncomfortable with the bloody smell in the room; in fact, she found it repulsive.

Ye Shaohong was quite good-tempered when dealing with his fellow countrymen.

He stood up, a faint smile appearing on his face, and then looked sincerely at the female owner of Xianghuizhai.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

"The reason I called you here is to use your knowledge to help us capture a hidden Japanese spy."

"I am deeply sorry for the trouble I have caused you."

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's explanation, the female owner of Xianghuizhai instantly understood everything.

She immediately concealed the impatience on her face.

He then smiled.

"Is it to arrest Japanese spies?"

"Then I'm willing to cooperate with you. If you need anything, just let me know."

A woman who can survive in society for over a decade and still protect her family's century-old legacy is certainly no ordinary person.

Furthermore, Ye Shaohong revealed his attitude and explained his purpose.

The female owner of Xianghuizhai didn't hesitate and immediately agreed to all of Ye Shaohong's requests.

"Thank you!"

Ye Shaohong thanked the female boss again, then turned around, his face suddenly turning cold as he looked at the two Japanese devils.

"Now you can describe in detail the special fragrance you smelled."

"If you help me find the answer, I will be extra lenient with you."

After saying that, Ye Shaohong remained silent.

Because he believed in one thing.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. It is irrational and irresponsible for laymen to instruct professionals.

And so, Ye Shaohong stood aside, watching as the female owner of Xianghuizhai carefully questioned the two Japanese devils.

She then opened the bamboo basket she had brought with her.

After picking and choosing, I quickly found more than a dozen small wooden boxes.

They opened them one by one and presented them to the two Japanese devils, letting them carefully distinguish and examine them.

Finally, after repeated confirmation from the female owner of Xianghuizhai, the two Japanese devils did indeed find the peculiar fragrance. However, after they confirmed the peculiar fragrance, the female owner of Xianghuizhai's expression suddenly became rather strange.

It was as if they had encountered some difficult problem.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong was very puzzled. He didn't hide anything and asked directly.

The female owner of Xianghuizhai didn't hide anything and directly stated what she was thinking.

"Section Chief Ye, we can basically confirm the scent now."

"If the two of them are not lying, it should be a mixture of fragrances including moon sage, patchouli, agarwood, and ambergris."

"But this kind of spice is something that women should use; men rarely use it."

"This puzzles me..."

The words of the female owner of Xianghuizhai made Ye Shaohong frown again. "What's going on?"

"Could that mysterious person be a woman?"

"A woman dressed as a man?"

"No way, if that's really the case, then things will be in trouble..."
