Chapter 20: The Wild

'It's them!'

'It's them!'

Kong Zhiliang was both shocked and overjoyed.

Finally, they had caught these damned robbers. He could report to the higher-ups.

'What kind of people are they?'

'Japanese.'

'Japanese?'

Kong Zhiliang's brows creased quietly.

Obviously, he didn't want it to turn out like this. If it had been an ordinary robber, he would have dealt with him on the spot.

But if it was a Japanese, it would be a bit difficult...

'There's a survivor...'

'Yes.'

'Why is there a survivor?'

'Huh?'

Zhang Yong's eyebrows rose.

The other party's tone seemed to indicate that they didn't want any survivors?

'He's dying.'

'It's best if he dies.'

'Understood!'

Zhang Yong drew his pistol.

and pointed it at the Japanese spy, who was still struggling.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

He shot the spy directly in the head.

He would definitely not be polite to the Japanese spy.

Cao Mengqi: ? ? ?

Wei Yong: ? ? ?

Everyone else: ? ? ?

Then they understood.

This was the Kong family's way of not wanting to leave any witnesses alive. It would avoid any disputes.

They just killed him. There was no witness to the crime. It was useless for the Japanese to say anything. The Kong family could still pretend to be ignorant. It was estimated that the Japanese would not dare to mention it either.

'Good, good, good,' Kong Zhiliang is very satisfied.

This little friend from the Lixing Club has top-notch comprehension skills. They can work together for a long time.

Moreover, the other party only wants material benefits and is not mentioning any other conditions. This is even better. As long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem.

'Help me look at the car.'

'This is not our car.'

'What?'

'This is the Japanese's car! A Nissan 80 truck,'

Kong Zhiliang explains to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong and Cao Mengqi exchanged glances. The Japanese invaders even brought their own truck?

This Japanese invader has a deep background!

He was willing to spend money!

But now, this truck belongs to our Lixing Club.

This is the instrument of the crime and must be confiscated!

The engine should not have been damaged. No explosives were used. An ordinary bullet cannot damage the engine. It can definitely be repaired.

In fact...

Kong Zhiqiang got into the car and started it. He found that the wiring was not broken either.

Zhang Yong couldn't believe it. He got in and started the engine. He found that it really could be driven. Not even the tyres had been punctured. This was too much luck.

In fact, not many bullets had hit the truck during the battle. So they had gained a Japanese truck for nothing.

That was good.

It was like playing in the wild and growing up in obscurity.

It seemed that they had gained quite a lot of weapons. There were ten Thompsons alone. The power of this thing was absolutely top-notch.

The Czech light machine gun is not bad either. In the future, the 8th Group will be completely self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition. No need to ask for funding from the higher-ups.

You need more people.

More money.

More weapons.

Otherwise, how are you going to catch the Japanese spies?

'Kong Chief, we've only found half of the opium. We'll continue to investigate,' Zhang Yong said. 'There should be other robbers...'

'Well, there's no need to continue investigating for now,' Kong Zhi-liang whispered.

'Why?' Zhang Yong was puzzled.

'Well, that's what the boss said,' Kong Zhi-liang said without going into detail.

Zhang Yong frowned.

Kong Zhi-liang hastened to say that there would be no shortage of rewards.

In addition to the 10,000 gallons of fuel he had promised in private, there would be other rewards that would be announced through the Ministry of Finance to the Lixing Society.

In short...

The Kong family was very satisfied with this investigation.

Zhang Yong: ???

Very strange. Not continuing the investigation?

And you don't want the other half of the opium either? Hey, that's 400,000 taels of silver!

If you don't want it, I do!

And when I catch the rest of the robbers, I won't have to give the opium back.

'By the way, Captain Zhang, there's something else. I hope you won't talk about it when you go back, and I hope you won't write about it in your report...'

'Understood.'

'I can't thank you enough!'

'No need.'

Zhang Yong was being polite.

He noticed that Cao Mengqi's expression was not quite right. This guy is being naive again.

I guess he's being stubborn again.

Halfway through the investigation and not investigating anymore? What's going on?

You're the ones who said to investigate. You're the ones who said not to investigate.

Who do you think we are?

'That's it?'

'That's it.'

Thus, the investigation was officially terminated.

Since Cao Mengqi was injured, Zhang Yong took temporary command.

Of course, the ammunition had to be taken away.

The opium was of course returned to the Kong family.

'Let's go!'

Zhang Yong forcibly took Cao Mengqi back.

It was as if he, Zhang Yong, was the squad leader.

However, Cao Mengqi really didn't mind. He didn't even care about continuing to work at the Lixing Club.

If Zhang Yong could take over, he would be more than happy.

Back at the base.

Group 5 was still busy. Everyone was in a hurry.

The first thing to report to Li Boqi about this matter.

'Someone already called to tell me. Well done,' Li Boqi said slowly.

'Why aren't you investigating anymore?' Cao Mengqi was still digging through the hutongs.

'I don't want to offend the Japanese,' Li Boqi said bluntly.

'The Japanese took our stuff and shot so many people, why aren't you investigating?'

'The Japanese also took our three northeastern provinces!'

'Damn...'

Cao Mengqi was suddenly silenced.

Zhang Yong: ...

It seems that the team leader's words are a bit blunt!

It hurts...

The truth...

'In short, this case, on the surface, involves the Japanese, and it cannot be pursued any further.' Li Boqi's face was stern, and he didn't smile.

After a slight pause, he looked at Zhang Yong intentionally or unintentionally, and continued, 'As for the goods, it is unknown whether they fell into the hands of the pirates. If they were pirates, it is still possible to investigate. Bring back the goods. No need for the people.'

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.

He felt that at that moment, if he were to take the college entrance exam reading comprehension test, he would definitely get a perfect score.

Li Boqi's next words were very interesting!

To put it bluntly, on the surface, they could not continue to pursue the Japanese. But secretly, they could investigate and even kill.

After all, the Japanese would never admit that they were Japanese. Kill. Bring back the opium.

If the Japanese had exchanged the opium for ocean dollars, that would be even better.

Bring back the ocean dollars. No need to bring the person back. Destroy.

So he nodded lightly to indicate that he understood.

'What a big thief! The Japanese must have taken it back to the concession.' Cao Mengqi was still being stubborn.

'That's right. Zhang Yong, Lin Xiaoyan wants to see you,' Li Boqi changed the subject.

'Didn't you hand over Group 5? Why do you want to see me?'

'They didn't say anything. Anyway, go and see them. Be careful, don't torture them.'

'Got it.'

Zhang Yong turned around and left reluctantly.

I'm depressed. We've caught a Japanese spy, but we can't even use torture on her. We're treating her like a queen?

If I'd known, I would have given her a knife when we arrested her.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

I arrive at the Fifth Section.

No one stops me. Apparently, orders have already been given.

I saunter towards the interrogation room.

Suddenly, a bald man appears. It's Yan Guangkun.

I stand at attention and salute, 'Section Chief Yan.'

'Detective Zhang is really young and promising!' Yan Guangkun smiled a bit lewdly, "How about coming to our Unit 5? I'll let you be the team leader.'

'Team Leader Yan is joking. I still know very well what happened to Lu Bu," Zhang Yong directly refused.

'Haha. Never mind. Everyone has their own aspirations,' Yan Guangkun didn't force him.

He led Zhang Yong into the underground prison.

There were many people being held inside. They were all the results of Unit 5's investigations recently.

Lin Xiaoyan was in a solitary cell. There was a plank bed in it. There was also straw. There was also a toilet in the corner. Haha. What a good life!

'You two chat alone. I'll be outside,' Yan Guangkun was clearly a smiling tiger.

'Where have you been?' Lin Xiaoyan asked Zhang Yong.

'Some of you attacked the Ministry of Finance warehouse and stole thousands of catties of opium. I just killed five robbers and recovered some of the opium,' Zhang Yong told the truth.

'You went to Qingpu?' Lin Xiaoyan seemed very surprised.

'So you know about this.' Zhang Yong sat directly on her straw bed.

Since torture was not an option, let's compete on academic performance!

Arrest all your people!

Leave you speechless!
