Chapter 979: What are you waiting for if you don’t eliminate the root of this evil?
Asaka Hideki glanced at him. "How can this be the same? We have corruption on our side, but at least they won't profit from the country's hardship when it's on the verge of destruction. You guys keep saying those who surrendered to the Japanese are traitors, calling for war and killing all day long, but why don't you see that the most terrifying traitors are these people who constantly consume internal resources? They dare to resell military supplies, and you can still turn a blind eye. Does that mean that in the future, state secrets can also be sold? This is all undermining the foundation of a country's stability. I really don't understand. What is there to hesitate about?"
Commander Bai felt a little ashamed of what he said.
Yes, what was he hesitating about? He actually didn't think as clearly as a little girl. As expected, he couldn't refuse to accept that he was getting old.
The mountain city today is not the mountain city of more than ten years ago. It has already gained a certain status of its own. I was not afraid of it before, so why would I be afraid of it now?
"I'm grateful for your advice." Little Zhuge raised his glass. "Xiuling, this glass of wine should be toasted to you."
Chao Xiang Xiuling's eyes widened and she quickly waved her hands: "Commander Bai, you are killing me. I am not worthy of being your glass of wine."
"Yes." Commander Zhang also raised his glass. Seeing Zhou Weiguo trying to stop him, he immediately said, "This has nothing to do with you. Xiuling's words really enlightened us."
At a time when the nation is facing survival, some people are still pursuing their own interests without caring about anything else. How can we deter the villains if we don't kill them?
Zhou Weiguo didn't stop them, but ate his hot pot in silence. After they finished their glass of wine, Zhou Weiguo suggested, "For the arrest, you can call Deng Yaoxian from the First and Second Divisions. I've met him many times, and he's not involved in anything like this."
Commander Zhang nodded and signaled his adjutant to pass on the message. The adjutant asked cautiously, "General, do you need to send it to the Second Department..."
"Division Two is about to launch a purge. There's no need to remind them of anything."
Deng Yaoxian rushed back that night.
The order he received was directly given by Commander Bai, and he dared not refuse this order. He did not report it because the telegram mentioned a secret return to the mountain city.
As soon as he got off the plane, Commander Bai's men put him in a car and took him to the town.
"Fourth brother, why do I feel something is wrong?" Du Xun was a little nervous in the car. What happened? It was so mysterious.
Deng Yaoxian also sensed something was amiss, but he wasn't afraid. He lit a cigarette and said, "Now that we're here, let's just make the best of it. There's no need to be nervous."
With his fourth brother around, Du Xun's nervousness quickly eased.
The car was intercepted as it entered the town. Soldiers carrying submachine guns signaled the car to stop. Du Xun's sharp eyes spotted Xu Hu standing there. "Hey, Fourth Brother, why do I see Xu Hu? Didn't they go north? Why are they here?"
Deng Yaoxian also saw it, and he even saw another person, Zhao Shoutian, who had always been Zhou Weiguo's bodyguard. At this moment, he was carrying two bottles of wine. Judging from his appearance, Zhou Weiguo was probably there too.
"It's them." Deng Yaoxian glanced at the soldiers.
Even the Central Army in Shancheng mostly wore cloth shoes, but this army wore khaki combat boots, which was the equipment of the Japanese army. The upper body was dressed this way, and the soles of the feet were dressed differently. Only the independent brigade wore this way.
"Something big is going to happen." Deng Yaoxian rubbed his temples.
After the vehicle inspection, they continued inside and finally stopped in front of a courtyard that was supposed to be home to a wealthy family. As soon as they got out of the vehicle, two soldiers came up and welcomed Deng Yaoxian and Du Xun in.
After entering the yard, Deng Yaoxian found that the three senior executives, Bai, Zhang and Kong, were discussing something. In a room not far away, screams could be heard from time to time, probably indicating that they were interrogating someone.
Deng Yaoxian came up to the three people and saluted solemnly.
"Report, Deng Yaoxian has been ordered to report here.
Officer Bai, who was looking through the data on reselling supplies, glanced at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Weiguo is over there. Go over there and he'll tell you what happened."
Deng Yaoxian nodded, turned around and went to the place Commander Bai mentioned.
Pushing open the door, Deng Yaoxian saw a man tied to a wooden stake, while Zhou Weiguo was sitting arrogantly on a chair. "You're still so stubborn, you think you can get away with it? Let me tell you, if they dare to bring you here, it means we already have evidence. We brought you here just to make you tell us who ordered you to do this. If you tell us, you'll die more easily. If you don't, your death will be painful, and your family will suffer too."
"Well, since we're all going to die, at least we should choose a quick death. Your family has to be with you anyway, so we can't let them die in pain."
Chaoxiang Xiuling was playing with a teacup lid nearby, and she looked weakly at the man tied to the stake. "Even though dying early or late is still death, the problem is that it also depends on whether it's painful or not, and whether it's quick or not."
"You are going to kill his whole family, what else can he say to you?" Deng Yaoxian glanced at the man. He was somewhat familiar with this man. He was the deputy director of the staff department of the Shancheng City Defense Command. He had met him before, but this time, he didn't know what he had done wrong that made three senior officials wait here for news, and also let Zhou Weiguo, a killer, come to interrogate him.
Zhou Weiguo turned around and saw that it was Deng Yaoxian. He smiled and extended his hand: "Fourth brother, you're here. Come on, come on, there's this stubborn guy here. I've been talking to him for half an hour, but he refuses to give up his accomplices. As a kind and righteous man, I really can't bring myself to do anything about him."
Deng Yao first glanced at the man, then looked away again. Interrogation was something that the Second Department was best at. No matter whether you wanted to slander someone or not, there was nothing they couldn't do as long as they wanted.
"What happened? Why do they want you to come in person to interrogate? Bai, Zhang, and Kong are here too." It was like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Even if the navy's ship sinking plan was leaked, they wouldn't be so nervous.
"Smuggling. I actually found more than a dozen truckloads of opium on the way here. The old man and the three people outside witnessed this with their own eyes, so they issued a death order. Follow the clues and arrest the person in charge. We also found out about the theft and sale of military supplies, so this time we are launching a nationwide operation. Kill the whole family if necessary, kill the whole family, kill the individual if necessary, and send those who need to be sent to the front line."
Zhou Weiguo made way; "This man is the one who issued the pass. We brought him here secretly to make him confess who gave him the instructions, but he is being stubborn. Look." Can you take over?
