Chapter 229: Reporter
Zhang Yong escorted Takekawa Kumazo back to the headquarters on Goose Lane.
They didn't go back to the new office area. They went straight back to the headquarters. Because this is where the cells are.
This guy was named by the higher-ups. He definitely won't survive.
He might even be publicly executed.
In the past, the Japanese spies were caught, but no one has been executed yet. This Wu Chuan Xiong San is an exception.
He has committed a very serious crime. He is arrogant. He has seriously challenged Chiang's bottom line.
If they don't execute a few people, the Japanese will really think he is nothing.
But before the execution, they must find a safe enough prison to keep this guy locked up securely.
'Shao Long?'
'Who is this?'
Liu Daowu happened to be coming out of the room.
He still didn't know that Takekawa Kumazo had been captured. Curious, he asked:
'I just grabbed a Japanese spy.'
Zhang Yong did not directly say Takekawa Kumazo's name.
He only just now remembered that he was not sure if this guy was really Takekawa Kumazo.
If Takekawa Kumazo was just some random Japanese spy that Kitakata Taro had fooled him with, then he would be in trouble.
He had not thought this through thoroughly enough before.
He did not know Takekawa Kumazo.
If Kitakata Taro really found someone to impersonate him, then he would have fallen for it.
Although the possibility of this was very small. It wasn't impossible. Unexpectedly, there was still a loophole in the ambush. Next time, he would have to be more careful.
He would let someone else identify it later. To see if it was really Takekawa Kumazo.
'You're really amazing at catching Japanese spies,' Liu Daowu was very impressed, "Chu Yu spent two days catching them, but didn't catch a single one.'
'Maybe the other person is very good!" Zhang Yong replied casually.
'That's what they say. That Takekawa Kumazo seems to have a lot of connections. He's not easy to catch.'
'Haha. Team Leader Chun Yu is very capable. He should be able to catch him.'
'You want to go see the Director, right?'
'Yes...'
Zhang Yong nodded.
For such a heavyweight Japanese spy, he definitely had to ask the Director to verify his identity.
Zhang Yong really didn't know Takekawa Kumazo, and he didn't have a photo of him either. In case they caught the wrong person, it would be good to correct the mistake in time.
It's okay if you get the wrong person. Just keep arresting people.
In the midst of his doubts, he saw the Chief and Mao Renfeng coming out. Both of them were walking quite quickly.
'Chief!'
'Chief!'
The people around them hurriedly stood at attention.
The Chief nodded and came to the Japanese spy. He lifted his head.
'Yes, that's him,' Mao Renfeng checked carefully. He was sure.
'Hm,' the Chief nodded.
He was 100% sure. The person was the right one.
The criminal that the Chief of Staff had designated to be arrested has been arrested.
Liu Daowu was still confused and asked curiously, 'Secretary Mao, who is this guy?'
'Kumazo Takegawa,' Mao Renfeng replied with a smile.
'Ah? Is he?' Liu Daowu was taken aback and then turned to look at Zhang Yong.
Damn you. Are you pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
I just asked you who you arrested, and you still won't say.
Zhang Yong said honestly, 'I really don't know Wu Chuan Xiong San. The informant said it was Wu Chuan Xiong San, so I arrested him. I was worried that I had arrested the wrong person until the Chief of Department examined him.'
Liu Daowu was relieved. It was only natural to think like that.
How many people here knew Wu Chuan Xiong San? There was only a photo of Chun Yu Chi.
The Chief waved his hand and spoke in a high-pitched voice, 'You've got the right man! He is Wu Chuan Xiong San! He is the murderer who caused the explosion at the arsenal! The Commander-in-Chief personally ordered that he be arrested!'
'Clap, clap!'
'Clap, clap!'
Liu Daowu led the applause. The others also applauded one after the other.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively.
The Chief was very pleased.
He raised his hand to silence the crowd.
'Shaolong is the one who caught the culprit. Shaolong deserves the credit. But everyone else also deserves credit! Everyone deserves credit!'
'Tonight, there will be a bonus meal in the canteen. Everyone will receive a reward of one silver dollar! The Finance Department will distribute the money today!'
The Director announced loudly.
Everyone immediately cheered. From the bottom of their hearts.
Nothing else, just a reward of one silver dollar! It was almost unheard of! It had never happened before.
Zhang Yong was also surprised.
Wow. It seems that the Director is really happy.
Everyone gets a reward. That's really rare. I'm so happy.
Mao Renfeng immediately sent someone to make the arrangements.
It was a done deal.
Everyone would get a reward today. That made sense.
'Clap, clap, clap!'
'Clap, clap, clap!'
The applause continued.
The director waited until everyone had had enough, then waved for silence.
'Shaolong.'
'Yes!'
'Go, take everyone who went on the mission, go wash your faces. Get dressed. Get ready for the photo shoot.'
'Huh?'
'I've already called the reporters. There'll be a photo in the newspaper. This is a big deal.'
'No way. Chief, I can't be in the newspaper,'
Zhang Yong said hurriedly.
He didn't want to be exposed.
He had arrested so many Japanese spies, the Japanese hated him to death.
If his face was in the newspaper, he would definitely be targeted by the Japanese invaders. There were so many assassins among the Japanese invaders, he couldn't deal with them.
The Chief immediately understood. That's right. He couldn't be in the newspaper.
If Zhang Yong's identity is revealed, the Japanese spies will regard him as a thorn in their side. He cannot show his face.
'Then, Qi Wu, you come!'
'Director...'
'It's fine. You are the deputy head of Section 5. Section 5 has just been established and has already achieved great results. You should do it. You represent Section 5!'
'Yes!'
Mao Renfeng agreed.
He was not afraid of being in the newspaper. On the contrary, he was looking forward to it.
The Director was right, Section 5 had just been set up and had already achieved great things. It had to be shown off in the newspaper.
Everyone would get credit. And rewards.
The Director would get one too. His reward was the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, that was a sure thing.
'Shaolong, you will have to bear the brunt,'
'I asked for this myself. Thank you, Secretary Mao.'
'Good!'
The Director was very satisfied.
A little while later, the reporter really came.
Zhang Yong: ...
Wow, did the heavens arrange this?
Who did you say was coming? It's Song Ziyu!
I remember now. She's a reporter for the Central News Agency. The Central News Agency and the Central Daily News are actually the same.
'Ziyu!'
The director warmly invited her over.
Song Ziyu looked curiously at the crowd. Then her gaze fell on Zhang Yong.
Those in the know knew that she was here for Zhang Yong.
The director had invited her specifically because he was here for Zhang Yong too.
'Sorry, it was Shao Long who caught the criminal. But Shao Long has a special status, so we can't announce it in the newspaper. We can only ask Secretary Mao to do it for us.'
'No problem. It's all thanks to the Fuxing Society.'
'Good. You go ahead!'
'Director Dai, please!'
The photojournalists began to take their positions.
Yang Zhi, Qin Lishan and the others were of course there too. They were not afraid of being in the limelight.
At this moment, they gradually understood just how much credit they had earned. This Japanese spy was very influential.
On the first day of joining the Fuxing Society, they had a good start. They were all very happy.
Following Captain Zhang, the future is truly unlimited.
'Shaolong!'
Song Ziyu came over to Zhang Yong with a smile on her face.
Her goal was Zhang Yong. He was the one being interviewed. The photojournalists didn't matter. She only needed to take care of Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong: ...
had to brace himself. This was official business. He had to get it done quickly.
'Miss Song,'
'Shaolong, you're amazing. You've done it again.'
'Coincidence, coincidence.'
'Shaolong, can you tell me how you caught this Japanese spy?'
'I can tell you. But you can't put it in the newspaper.'
'Why not?'
'Because I don't want the Japanese to target me.'
'I see. Then tell me!'
'Actually, I ambushed him from behind. I hit him from behind and knocked him unconscious.'
'Huh?'
Song Ziyu was stunned.
A blow from behind? Knocking out a Japanese spy?
It sounded like something out of a fantasy novel.
She had imagined Zhang Yong fighting with the Japanese spy for hundreds of rounds and then capturing him. She had never imagined that it would be just one move.
For a moment, she felt her mind opening up. Countless whimsical ideas flooded in.
'The Japanese spy didn't resist?'
'No.'
'Not even a struggle?'
'It seems not.'
'In other words, you subdued him with one move?'
'More or less...'
'You're amazing.'
Song Ziyu was full of admiration. Not fake admiration. Real admiration.
Although it seems a bit undignified to hit someone over the head with a club, this is combat!
If there's a way to knock the opponent out the fastest, then that's the way to go.
She understands this principle.
What's more, this villain is extremely vicious. Not only did he blow up the gun barrel production line, he also killed dozens of workers. The Jinling Arsenal suffered heavy losses. The angry Commander-in-Chief even cursed.
She had heard about it. It was already late at night. The Commander-in-Chief received the report and was so angry that he didn't sleep the rest of the night.
Fortunately, the person has now been captured. He must be severely punished.
'Baka!'
Suddenly, there was a hysterical yell from the side.
It turned out that the director had someone remove the rag from Kumazo Takekawa's mouth. At the same time, someone held his mouth shut. This was to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
However, Kumazo Takekawa had no intention of biting his tongue. Instead, he immediately started to swear.
'Hagah! Untie me! Let's fight one-on-one!'
'Hagah! You, come here, come here!'
'You come here! You...'
Kumazo Takekawa was shouting so loudly that his face turned red.
He was so furious.
It was as if he was about to explode at any moment.
Everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong, on the other hand, was oblivious.
His back was turned to Takeshi.
It wasn't until Song Ziyu gave him a wink that he turned around.
'Baka! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!' Takeshi became even more furious.
He refused to accept it.
The more he thought about it, the more he refused to accept it.
He could not lose to Zhang Yong. Absolutely not.
Baka!
Assassin!
What kind of hero are you!
'Wu Chuan Xiong San?' At this point, Chu Zu spoke.
'Who are you?' Wu Chuan Xiong San was still arrogant.
'I am Dai Li.'
'Baka! It's you!'
Wu Chuan Xiong San's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Of course he knew who Dai Li was. But he had never met him.
Like Zhang Yong, Boss Dai refused to be in the newspaper. So as not to be missed by others.
'You did the Jinling Arsenal bombing, didn't you?'
'So what if I did? Baka! You lowly Chinese...'
The voice suddenly stopped.
But Zhang Yong had picked up the hawthorn stick and knocked him unconscious again.
Damn, the Chief is talking to you, and you're still so arrogant. Wait. There are 108 set meals waiting for you in the torture chamber in a while.
Chief: ...
Hey, I haven't even spoken yet, and you've already knocked the person out?
I couldn't help but look curiously at the stick in Zhang Yong's hand. I see why Takekawa Kumazo is so agitated. He was beaten up with a wooden stick.
Serves him right!
What's the point of being a 7th-degree karate black belt?
He's no match for a wooden stick.
I don't think this Japanese spy is worth the trouble.
There's no need for any interrogation. Just confirm his identity and report it up the chain of command, and basically, it's a death sentence.
The Wei Zuo has already sentenced him to death.
'Qi Wu, you arrange it yourself! Throw him in the water prison!'
'Yes.'
'The chairman has instructed that after the military police commandos have come and verified his identity, he will be taken to Yuhuatai and publicly executed.'
'Yes!'
Mao Renfeng agreed.
He ordered that Takeshi Kawamura be taken away.
Zhang Yong's spirits lifted.
Public execution? Yuhuatai?
Good, good!
Damn Japanese spy, finally your day has come!
