Chapter 363: The Dog Messing Up on the Mouse
Zheng Zhili found information about Iwai Mansion for Xiang Chu.
It turned out that the mansion belonged to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
By the Deputy Consul General of the Consulate General in Shanghai, Iwai Hideyoshi.
A specialized spy intelligence agency for the diplomatic sector.
Xiang Chu was puzzled and asked, "Zhili! Since Yanjing Mansion is a diplomatic post, it should be mainly responsible for collecting intelligence. Why can they arrest people openly?"
Zheng Zhili smiled bitterly and said, "When a war breaks out, everyone wants to achieve greater merit, and all the rules are broken."
Xiang Chu sneered, "I will change the rules at Iwai Mansion, otherwise they will come to Shanghai Special High Section. Let's go!"
Zheng Zhili said anxiously, "Add Iwai Mansion to the unit column of the release document. This will force them to release him."
“It’s already been added!”
Xiang Chu smiled and handed him the document.
Zheng Zhili nodded and said, "Yes! This is equivalent to having a sword from above. I'll call the master, and we'll go over and take a look."
Baoshan Road, Iwai Mansion.
Xiang Chu and Zheng Zhili came here with 5 cars and more than 10 Special High Section agents.
The guard at the door immediately informed and led Xiang Chu and Zheng Zhili into the reception room of the mansion.
The museum owner, Iwai Hideyoshi, brought people to meet them in the reception room, and the diplomatic etiquette was very enthusiastic.
Xiang Chu explained his purpose and handed the release document to Iwai Hideyoshi.
After reading the document, Iwai Hideyoshi still shook his head and said, "Deputy Section Chief Fujiwara! The people we arrested have great intelligence value. You can't let them go like you let other Chinese people go."
Xiang Chu pretended to be angry, stood up and roared:
"Iwai! What do you mean? Do you want to disobey the order of the Supreme Commander of the Songhu area?"
Iwai Hideyoshi was indeed a diplomat. Seeing Xiang Chu getting angry, he was not angry at all. He said politely:
"Deputy Section Chief Fujiwara! We are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In order to assist the Imperial Army in conquering China, we must also do our part, so please understand."
Xiang Chu deliberately got angry until his face turned red, and he shouted with his hands and feet dancing: "Don't call me Fujiwara Dai Section Chief, I am the head of the Yamashiro Division.
At present, all the prisons in Shanghai have released people, but yours is not. What is your intention?
I am here today to supervise you personally. If you don't give me this face, I will kill everyone in your mansion and go into exile again. Humph!"
Iwai Hideyoshi was stunned. To reason with such an unreasonable person as the head of the Yamashiro family was simply seeking death.
His secretary whispered, "Consul General! Let's let the Yamashiro leader take the people away. It's really meaningless to detain so many people here without even telling their names, except for wasting food."
Zheng Zhili struck while the iron was hot and handed over 100,000 yen, saying with a smile: "Consul General! We have Miss Yu from Shanghai as a guarantor. This is the bail. If the person escapes, she will have to pay you back."
Iwai Hideyoshi was thinking: How come I met the notorious Yamashiro leader today? He was a murderer without blinking an eye. Moreover, he was a direct descendant of the Fujiwara family, who was whitewashed and entered the Shanghai Special High Section. He became a lieutenant-level officer right from the start. I can't afford to offend him!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiang Chu suddenly pulled out a black samurai sword and was about to start killing.
Iwai Eiyoshi hurriedly smiled and said, "Head of the Yamashita Generation! Everything is easy to talk about. Everything is easy to talk about."
Xiang Chu remained silent. Zheng Zhili smiled and said, "Don't worry, Consul General. We are not releasing all the people you arrested at once. Just like those who were released before, they will be put in our Special High Section prison first and then released one by one after careful screening. Otherwise, it will be bad if some of them slip through the net."
"Tell me earlier!"
Iwai Eiyoshi smiled awkwardly and told the secretary beside him,
"Yuan Sang! Go and transfer the prisoners."
"Hello!"
The secretary named Yuan hurriedly took the order.
Xiang Chu took a closer look at Secretary Yuan and felt that he had a square face, bright eyes, a smile, and was very elegant.
In order to ensure the rescue of Ning Xiaoquan and Cai Huawen, Xiang Chu said in a low and powerful voice: "Yuan Sang! This first generation will go with you."
Secretary Yuan said respectfully, "Okay! First Generation, please come in."
Xiang Chu and Zheng Zhili followed him to the dungeon where the prisoners were held.
A Japanese mansion, with its basement full of prisoners.
Xiang Chu scanned the dungeons one by one, and first saw Cai Huawen and other people from the Shanghai Intelligence Station, all of whom looked half-dead.
When he finally found Ning Xiaoquan, he discovered that he was locked up in a small dark room alone, covered in bruises, unconscious and dying.
Xiang Chu said angrily: "Yuan Sang! Don't you care about the lives of these prisoners?"
Secretary Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The head of the Yamashita family! The mansion is short-staffed and underfunded. There is no one and no food to take care of these people. I have advised him, but Consul General Iwai would not listen."
"Forget it! He looks gentle and refined, but he's a wolf and a tiger inside."
Xiang Chu waved his hand, paused, and ordered loudly,
"Zhili! Quickly call our people over and take all these prisoners to the car."
"Yes!"
Zheng Zhili hurriedly accepted the order.
Secretary Yuan smiled and said, "The head of the Yamashita family! I didn't expect you to have such a kind heart."
"That depends on who you are dealing with!"
Xiang Chu said with dignity, waving his hand,
"Yuan-san! This is a Chinese official. I want to talk to him. Please step aside."
"Yes!"
Secretary Yuan nodded happily.
Xiang Chu waited for him to walk away, then immediately stepped forward, stuffed a homemade pill into Ning Xiaoquan's mouth, then took out the silver needle he carried with him and continued to give Ning Xiaoquan acupuncture.
Not long after, Ning Xiaoquan woke up slowly.
Xiang Chu hurriedly opened the exquisite wine jug and fed him the wine little by little.
Ning Xiaoquan took a few sips of wine, regained some strength, and opened his eyes.
He met a Japanese officer and said righteously:
"I would rather die than eat the food of the Japanese pirates."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Old sir! Save your life first, you can still go fishing."
"what?!"
Ning Xiaoquan said in surprise.
He immediately understood that the person in front of him was Xiang Chu.
At this time, Zheng Zhili rushed down with the Special High Section agents and began to transfer personnel.
All the people detained in Iwai Mansion were transferred to four trucks, totaling more than 4 people.
Under the angry but silent gazes of Iwai Hideyoshi and other staff members of the mansion, Xiang Chu played his part to the utmost, loudly scolding the detainees and even kicking them a few times.
It was also made clear that it was Director Yu Xiaowan of Jishi Hospital who provided the funds and guaranteed their rescue, and that they must not leave Shanghai, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
Finally, he brought these 300 people to the Shanghai Special High Section, provided them with a meal, pretended to register them, and then released them in batches.
Needless to say, people like Cai Huawen from the Shanghai Intelligence Station were bewildered from beginning to end that the notorious Shanghai Special High Section could actually be so kind.
Following Xiang Chu's instructions, Gan Rong sent Ning Xiaoquan to the Hongxin Trading Company and asked Yi Huaan to arrange a job for him.
But when Ning Xiaoquan saw Yi Huaan, he was surprised and said, "Old classmate! You are here?"
"Hyo-Jeon! I didn't expect to see you again."
Yi Huaan held his hand tightly, very excited.
After all this time, he and Yi Huaan are still classmates in private school, so Xiang Chu doesn't have to worry about them at all.
Xiang Chu ordered Zheng Zhili: "Chiyo-kun! Send a telegram to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell them that we have thoroughly implemented the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Policy. All the innocent Chinese detained in Shanghai prisons have been released, and all the extremely evil ones have been shot. Now Shanghai is thriving!"
Zheng Zhili said with a smile, "Fujiwara, the acting section chief! How could he be executed? At most, he was extorted a large sum of money and released."
"You are just too honest. Here! Here is the money. Please send a telegram quickly. I am going back to Chuyue Hotel."
Xiang Chu gave him a stack of money and swaggered out of his office.
Zheng Zhili couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "It's so refreshing to work with my benefactor!"
Iwai Mansion, reception room.
Iwai Eiyoshi became angrier the more he thought about it, and shouted:
"Yuan-san! Send a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately and tell them that the Chinese prisoner we captured with great effort was forcibly taken away by the Yamashita leader of the Shanghai Special High Section."
"Yes!"
Secretary Yuan hurriedly accepted the order.
However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a telegram to reprimand them: "Iwai Mansion! Who told you to meddle in other people's business? Why are you messing with the head of the Yamashiro family? Just do your job of collecting intelligence!"
