Chapter 111 Sakura Project!

Chapter 111 Sakura Project!

Li Xidong was very surprised to see that Jia Dongming insisted on meeting Zhou Xudong. His intuition told him that Jia Dongming must have grasped some important clues and wanted to find Zhou Xudong to verify them.

Facing Jia Dongming's promise, Li Xidong looked at him seriously and asked him in a serious tone: "Chief Jia! Tell me the truth, have you found any valuable clues?"

Jia Dongming was not surprised by Li Xidong's suspicion. After all, the other party's identity was there.

Facing Li Xidong's question, Jia Dongming couldn't help but think of Huizi's hiding place, and answered seriously: "Director Li! I did find some valuable clues, but at the time I was worried about exposing myself, so the clues I got were not comprehensive. The only thing I can do now is to find a way to pry Zhou Xudong's mouth open."

When Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's answer and saw Jia Dongming's serious expression, he immediately realized that something seemed amiss. He quickly said to Jia Dongming, "Chief Jia! Let's go! I will personally accompany you to interrogate Zhou Xudong!"

Soon the two men arrived at the door of an interrogation room. Li Xidong led Jia Dongming into the interrogation room. Jia Dongming saw Zhou Xudong, whose limbs were handcuffed tightly on the interrogation chair.

Li Xidong looked at the two police officers who were in charge of interrogating Zhou Xudong and said to them, "Xiao Zhang! Xiao Wang! You two go out and have a rest for a while. Leave the rest to me and Section Chief Jia."

After the two police officers walked out of the interrogation room and closed the door, Jia Dongming sat down at the interrogation table, staring sharply at Zhou Xudong, who looked exhausted, and said to him jokingly, "Mr. Koizumi! You have lived in China for so many years. I believe you should know the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist, right?"

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Zhou Xudong slowly raised his heavy head, looked at Jia Dongming and Li Xidong who were sitting opposite him, showed a disdainful expression on his face, and said sarcastically: "Jia Dongming! The correct way to say this should be 'Confess and be lenient, serve your life in prison, resist and be strict, and go home for the New Year!'"

"I have lived in China for more than 20 years, and I know very well that the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. Now that I have fallen into your hands, there is no way I can leave alive. Since I am going to die anyway, why should I drag others into it?"

After hearing Zhou Xudong's answer, Jia Dongming couldn't help but sneered and said to Zhou Xudong sarcastically, "Mr. Koizumi! You don't have to make yourself sound so great. The reason you don't want to confess is that your wife and children are under surveillance by the organization behind you. You are worried that if you confess, your wife and children will be harmed in disguise."

When Zhou Xudong heard Jia Dongming's words, his pupils shrank and a panicked expression flashed across his face. He then pretended to be dumb and replied, "Jia Dongming! My wife died several years ago. I don't understand what you are talking about at all."

When Zhou Xudong denied it, the change in his facial expression could not be hidden from Jia Dongming and Li Xidong. Jia Dongming looked at Zhou Xudong who was pretending to be stupid and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Koizumi! A guy from Yamamoto mocked you in front of his superior, Ms. Keiko, saying that you were too confident, which led to the failure of your plan and your exposure and arrest."

When Zhou Xudong heard Jia Dongming mention Yamamoto and then Keiko, his legs began to tremble involuntarily and a feeling of uneasiness immediately surged into his heart.

Jia Dongming stared at Zhou Xudong and said in a very serious tone: "Mr. Koizumi! Do you really think that if you don't confess Keiko and Yamamoto, your organization will not touch your wife and children? The reason why we are interrogating you is not because we know nothing about your organization, but because we want to give you a chance to atone for your sins."

The reason why Zhou Xudong gritted his teeth and persisted was that he was worried that after Keiko was arrested, the headquarters in the island country would think that he had betrayed Keiko and would attack his wife and children. Now that he has not confessed anything, Jia Dongming already knows about Keiko's existence, which means that Keiko and Yamamoto may have been targeted by the police for a long time.

Thinking of the fate that his wife and children would face if Keiko and Yamamoto were arrested, Zhou Xudong's heartbeat gradually quickened. He still pretended to be dumb and answered: "Jia Dongming! I don't know any Keiko and Yamamoto. Did you make a mistake?"

Seeing that Zhou Xudong was still unwilling to confess, Jia Dongming knew that Zhou Xudong was already a grasshopper in autumn, and it was only a matter of time before he could pry open his mouth and make him confess. Seeing Zhou Xudong's legs trembling, Jia Dongming asked Zhou Xudong with disdain: "Mr. Koizumi! Since you don't know Keiko and Yamamoto, why are your legs shaking? I advise you to stop struggling in vain and tell us about your Sakura plan?"

"Jia Dongming! How do you know about the Sakura Project?" Zhou Xudong finally broke down when he heard Jia Dongming mention the Sakura Project, and asked Jia Dongming without thinking.

Li Xidong had previously thought that Jia Dongming only had a few clues, but after hearing the conversation between Jia Dongming and Zhou Xudong, Li Xidong discovered that the information Jia Dongming had was far more than what their branch currently had.

Seeing that Zhou Xudong's psychological defenses had finally collapsed, Jia Dongming immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Mr. Koizumi! Don't worry about how we knew about the Sakura Project. Now I just want to ask you one question: do you want to live? Or do you want to die?"

Zhou Xudong became extremely flustered when he heard Jia Dongming's question. After a moment, Zhou Xudong raised his tired head, looked at Jia Dongming and Li Xidong, and asked Jia Dongming: "Jia Dongming! Can you give me a cigarette?"

When Li Xidong saw Zhou Xudong asking Jia Dongming for a cigarette, he immediately realized that this was a prelude to Zhou Xudong's confession. He quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Zhou Xudong, and did not forget to use a match to help him light the cigarette.

Zhou Xudong took a few puffs of his cigarette before he asked Jia Dongming, "Jia Dongming! If I'm not mistaken, before you were transferred to the steel mill to serve as the security chief, your intelligence department must have known our whereabouts, so they transferred you to the steel mill, right?"

Zhou Xudong's question surprised Jia Dongming a little, but Jia Dongming neither admitted nor denied it. He smiled and mocked Zhou Xudong, "Mr. Koizumi! Is this important? You have lived in China for so many years, don't you know the old saying in China, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself? Do you really think our police are just there to eat and do nothing?"

Jia Dongming paused for a moment and continued, "Mr. Koizumi! You have spent two days with us. Judging from your current mental state, you must be very tired, right? Just tell us about your Sakura Project!"

When Zhou Xudong heard Jia Dongming mention the Sakura Project again, he took a few puffs of his cigarette and then started to introduce: "After the empire was defeated, a batch of special bombs were left in Sijiu City. These special bombs were hidden in several secret arsenals around Sijiu City. Our Sakura Project is to activate these special bombs and detonate them in several important cities in China."

"What! Special bombs! How many special bombs have you buried in our China? Where exactly is the arsenal where these bombs are stored?" When Li Xidong heard what Zhou Xudong said, his face suddenly changed and he immediately asked Zhou Xudong.

When Zhou Xudong heard Li Xidong's question, he shook his head subconsciously and replied: "Except for Miss Huizi, no one else knows the exact location of the arsenal."

When Li Xidong heard Zhou Xudong's answer, he immediately asked Zhou Xudong: "Xiaoquan! Do you know where the Miss Huizi you just mentioned is now?"

"Director Li! I know where Huizi is, you don't need to ask Mr. Koizumi!" When Jia Dongming saw Li Xidong asking about Huizi's hiding place, he smiled and said to Li Xidong without waiting for Zhou Xudong to answer.

When Zhou Xudong heard Jia Dongming's answer, an expression of surprise appeared on his face, because he had no idea where Huizi was hiding. But Jia Dongming in front of him knew Huizi's hiding place very well. How could Zhou Xudong not be surprised?

"What! Chief Jia! You know where Huizi is hiding? Is this true?" When Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's answer, an incredible expression appeared on his face, and he hurriedly confirmed the news with Jia Dongming.
