Chapter 983 The Japs must treat me as a guest of honor!
"You can't judge me."
Inside the Bianliang Military Police Headquarters, Zhao Lijun spoke calmly.
Zhao Lijun regretted his failure very much. He never thought that a Japanese soldier he met while doing grain business would become a major in the military police and be sent to a checkpoint at the junction of Shandong and Henan provinces.
The Japanese soldier was eager to make a contribution and thought that Zhao Lijun might have connections with the Military Control Commission. With this suspicion in mind, he arrested Zhao Lijun.
Guns were used during the arrest. Only one of the brothers Zhao Lijun brought with him was killed. Zhao Lijun himself was shot in the right shoulder and had almost no fighting ability, so he had to surrender.
Afterwards, the Japanese sent him to the Bianliang Military Police Headquarters, which was also the largest military police agency of the Japanese in Henan Province.
Today, northern Henan, eastern Henan, and southern Henan have all fallen, and the southern part still controls the Luocheng area and confronts the Japanese.
During the long confrontation, both sides sent a large number of spies to each other's territory. As a result, the Bianliang Military Police Command received support from the North China Front Army's Special Service Department, and was considered to be strong in terms of manpower and horses.
The commander-in-chief of the Bianliang gendarmerie, Bai Tian Youlin, was from the Beiyuan faction and was quite skilled in his job. He immediately summoned Zhao Lijun for interrogation.
"I can't interrogate you? I'm the commander-in-chief of a place, a lieutenant colonel of the military police. Why can't I interrogate you? It seems you want to experience the torture."
Zhao Lijun remained unmoved. "Send a telegram to your superiors and ask them if they want to know the truth about the train derailment at Zhoulizhuang Station."
At this point, Zhao Lijun has already thought about his future path.
He knew a lot about the Military Control Commission's operations in the north and the situation of its headquarters, which was of great value to the Japanese.
He couldn't confess everything in Bianliang, but had to meet a high-ranking Japanese official. At that time, he would either cooperate with them to capture a group of people, then take the money and leave, and live in hiding from then on.
Either he could just jump in and join the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters, or go to Nanjing and seek a position in the secret service headquarters. I heard that the guy from Ding Mo Village could be the deputy director, so am I any worse than him?
Zhao Lijun doesn't have any psychological pressure about being a traitor. He was a traitor back then, and isn't he living a good life now?
Sooner or later, the Military Control Commission will not be able to accommodate him. He has offended too many people. Maybe jumping into the water now is a better choice.
Bai Tian Youlin had no idea where Zhoulizhuang Station was. He just thought this guy was trying to bluff him. "Baga! Be quiet. What Zhoulizhuang Station?"
Zhao Lijun still looked arrogant. "Tianjin, Zhoulizhuang Station, I told you to send a telegram to your superiors. They will naturally tell you what to do. You are not of high enough rank, so don't bother."
Bai Tian Youlin was very embarrassed, but when he heard the word Tianjin, he still felt that he had to report it to his superiors.
Tianjin is the territory of Colonel Lin, a well-known figure in the North China spy system!
Everyone knows that you can offend Kitahara, or even Okamura, but you'd better not offend Colonel Hayashi.
...........
Zhoulizhuang Town, Tianjin.
"Jun Lin!"
In the temporary command center, Kitahara Ransuke frowned and walked into Lin Ze's office.
"Mr. Lin..."
He looked at Niu Saner who was standing in the room. Lin Ze waved his hand, and Niu Saner went out and closed the door.
"Mr. Lin, a telegram came from Henan Province. They've apprehended someone who claims to know the truth behind the train derailment at Zhoulizhuang Station. It's been confirmed that this person holds considerable influence within the Military Control Commission..."
Lin Ze remembered the "cousin" that Xu Shuanglin had mentioned.
In just a few days, he ran to Henan Province?
How could he be caught if he could run so fast?
But Lin Ze was not worried. Why had he been trying so hard to form alliances these days?
Isn’t it just to prevent these troubles from happening?
What cannot be covered by one hand may be covered by two hands. If there are four, five or six hands, then there is nothing that cannot be covered.
Beiyuan said worriedly, "You told me before that this train was being spied on by various forces, and there were traces of military personnel around it. Could it be..."
Lin Ze had already warned Beiyuan, "This guy might be from the Military Control Commission, and he might know about this train, but he definitely didn't blow up the train. They don't have the ability to plant a bomb in the carriage."
As long as it is true that the explosives exploded in the carriage, Lin Ze will be invincible.
"Then what should we do with him? Should we..."
Lin Ze shook his head and said, "Send a telegram over there and ask them to escort this person over here, take the Pinghan Line, then change trains in Peking to Tianjin, and then tell Tujing and Dingmo Village about this."
Beiyuan was surprised and said, "Tell Doi and Ding Mocun? We can't even hide this kind of thing quickly, how can we tell them? Lin Jun, what if they insist that it was the Military Control Commission agents who blew up the car? Wouldn't that make us look like we're ineffective in countering espionage?"
Lin Ze smiled lightly, took out a report from the drawer, threw it on the table, and tapped it with his fingers.
"It's written in black and white. The names of Doi Yucheng and Ding Mocun are right there. Who dares to commit a crime? Who dares to cause trouble? Do they look down on you and me, or do they look down on the Mantetsu Railway? They say it was done by someone else today, and then say they're sorry for the mistake tomorrow. Who would dare? I wouldn't dare, and neither would they."
"That's not necessary..."
"Kitahara-kun, why are we so close?"
"Mr. Lin and I hit it off right away..."
"Kitahara-kun, we did hit it off right away, but more than that, we've done a lot of things together that shouldn't be told to outsiders. Like killing Matsuzaki at the dock? Could you tell anyone about that?"
Kitahara Ransuke thought for a moment, "You mean..."
"We handled this case flawlessly, but now an unexpected factor has emerged that may affect our conclusion. Let them make their own choice. Let them... join us in doing something that's not something that can be revealed to outsiders."
On the third day, Zhao Lijun was escorted to Tianjin.
He was a little surprised. He thought he would be sent to Peking, so why Tianjin?
Kitahara Ransuke then announced, "A spy was apprehended in Henan Province. He claims to know about the train derailment. He's been brought here. Would you like to have a joint trial?"
Doi Yucheng and Ding Mocun were stunned for a moment.
What does it mean?
Spy? Which spy? Are there other forces involved in this case?
No one wanted to speak for a moment, so Lin Ze said, "Since the people are here, I think we should have an interrogation. Let's all listen together. This is also a way for us to be honest with each other."
Doi Yucheng understood that this person must know something, and what he knew would even affect the demarcation of responsibilities. Lin Ze was a particular person and was unwilling to hide this matter, so he asked everyone to participate.
Ding Mocun also gave a thumbs up in his heart. Master Lin is really particular!
In the interrogation room, Zhao Lijun was quite confident!
As long as I tell them a little more about the inside story, these Japanese officials will definitely treat me as a guest of honor!
