Chapter 397: Meng Shengyu is from the Red Zone?
Chapter 397: Meng Shengyu is from the Red Zone?
Lin Ze went downstairs to the interrogation room and happened to meet Xiao Jiang Dagui.
Xiao Jiang Dagui said excitedly: "Team Leader, the results are revealed!"
Lin Ze looked at the watch. It had only been half a day and the result had already been revealed?
"What did the interrogation reveal?"
"Team leader, Meng Shengyu is red!"
ah! ? ?
Lin Ze was really confused. No, look at Meng Shengyu's expression. His face was red?
That's impossible. If Meng Shengyu was red-hot, why would Jiao Zhenguo bother to get involved with him? Wouldn't it be enough for the Red Zone to get the information directly from Meng Shengyu?
"Xiao Jiang, can you tell me in detail what he said?"
Xiao Jiang Dagui simply took Lin Ze to the interrogation room, only to see that Meng Shengyu had been tortured terribly, with blood marks all over his chest, and was also on the tiger bench.
For the gendarmerie headquarters, this was just the beginning. He confessed before the real props that could destroy a person's will to resist were used.
Seeing Lin Ze coming in, Meng Shengyu struggled and said, "Grandpa Lin, I really confessed, I confessed everything, please forgive me, give me a quick death, I really can't bear it anymore."
Lin Ze ignored him and picked up Meng Shengyu's confession.
After watching for a while, I finally understood what was going on. The most common material handled by Meng Shengyu, the quartermaster, was food. The soldiers of the security army did not have enough food rations, so it was good enough to give them half of it. The rest would naturally be sold.
But if he sold it on the black market, he would have to give up a lot of profit, so Meng Shengyu went to the west to sell grain through a few fearless grain merchants.
To the west is the Pingxi base opened up by the Red Zone.
Meng Shengyu knew it clearly in his mind that the only people in the west who could buy so much grain at such a high price were the people in the Red Zone. He pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, thinking that if he sold the grain through other people, even if something went wrong, it would not matter, he could just sell it to his few downstream buyers.
However, he did not expect that the information leak would cause the Japanese to start a large-scale internal investigation. It happened that a batch of grain that should have been shipped to Baodi was sold by him. Fearing, he took the initiative to report Jiao Zhenguo, hoping to find a scapegoat. Unexpectedly, he lost more than he gained and ended up getting himself involved.
This is really good news for Lin Ze.
I was looking for some evidence, but now it’s confirmed!
There is no need to worry that the Pingxi base will not be able to buy food after Meng Shengyu is captured. The Administrative Committee is a mess. If Meng Shengyu doesn't sell, there are others who can sell it.
Lin Ze walked up to Meng Shengyu with a smile and patted his shoulder. "Old Meng, look, it has come to this. You should take care of the rest, right? Don't worry, I have always been very particular about my work. If you don't make it difficult for me, I won't make it difficult for you. It's no big deal to give you a quick death. I'll even let you have a full meal before you leave. How about that?"
Meng Shengyu now wants to die. Living in this damn place is more painful than death.
He closed his eyes in pain and nodded in resignation, "Director Lin, I admit it. I've eaten and played, and this life is worth it. I don't want to suffer anymore. I accept whatever you say. I'll sign and seal it. Just let me die."
Lin Ze picked up a pen and wrote in Meng Shengyu's tone how he took the opportunity of selling grain to leak military intelligence. Then Meng Shengyu signed and sealed the letter. His fingers were swollen from being pinched and his handwriting looked like a ghost's scribbles. But it didn't matter. Meng Shengyu confessed sincerely and there was no falsehood at all.
Things were easy to handle after that. Kitahara Ransuke quickly announced the closure of the case, and the front-line army headquarters approved the result. The unlucky Jiao Zhenguo suffered for several days but was finally released.
After learning from Gao Shengping that Lin Ze had been busy on this matter for a long time, Jiao Zhenguo was speechless for a long time.
Meng Shengyu ate two big steamed buns, then was shot and dragged out of the city and thrown around.
The city of Peking returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.
.................
At the police station, after being busy for a few days, Chief Lin was finally able to slack off again.
The few goldfish that were bought must have adapted to the environment and were swimming more happily. As soon as Lin Ze walked to the fish tank, they would come over and wait to be fed.
"Dingle bell bell bell..."
Lin Ze picked up the phone, and it turned out to be Angelina calling.
"Sir, Lawrence wants to see you. He said he hopes to have you dine at the Six Nations Hotel."
"Did he say anything?"
Lin Ze felt a little puzzled. The last time Lawrence met Kitahara Ransuke, the two sides reached a cooperation on the issue of fuel. After the end of the war in Jidong, there was no further news. He didn't know what Lawrence wanted to talk to him about this time.
"Sir, Lawrence said that the last cooperation was very fruitful and you played a big role. This time he wanted to thank you specifically."
This is nonsense. An American spy is so kind as to invite me to dinner?
After hanging up the phone, he called Kitahara Ransuke.
"Kitahara-kun, Lawrence wants to see me, but he didn't say what it is. Should I go?"
Unexpectedly, Kitahara Ransuke thought for a long time before he said, "I was just about to talk to you about Lawrence. So, go meet him and test his attitude to see what his real purpose is. Remember, don't talk about any military matters. If he asks you questions in this regard, report to me in time."
Lin Ze felt a little puzzled. They had just started working together a while ago, so why were they testing each other again now?
The Japs haven't fallen out with the Americans yet, so why is the atmosphere suddenly so tense?
In the evening, Lin Ze changed his clothes and went to the Six Nations Hotel.
Lawrence was a thoughtful guy and ordered a table of Chinese food.
However, the Chinese food in the Six Nations Hotel is neither Chinese nor Western. The taste has been modified to suit the taste of foreigners. The last time Lin Ze tried it, he didn't think it was very good.
Lawrence was very attentive and poured wine for Lin Ze. Lin Ze declined, saying, "I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so I won't drink. Mr. Lawrence, please don't be polite. The decision to cooperate was made by the higher-ups. I was just a go-between, and I didn't really help."
Seeing that Lin Ze didn't want to drink, Lawrence didn't force him and put the bottle aside. "Mr. Lin, you are wrong. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get in touch with Lieutenant Colonel Kitahara, let alone talk about future cooperation. So I asked Ms. Angelina to contact you on my behalf, just to express my gratitude to you formally."
As he spoke, Lawrence took out a check from his pocket and pushed it in front of Lin Ze.
Lin Ze took a look at the check from Citibank. Lawrence had already written one thousand dollars on it in advance.
He spent four or five thousand dollars, which was quite generous.
Lin Ze looked greedy and smiled as he put away the check. "Oh, Mr. Lawrence, you are so polite! Although we haven't known each other for long, we have similar personalities and are friends. Why do you have to do this? Don't do it again next time."
