Lost and Spy

Chapter 1727 Secret Prison
Japanese Gendarmerie Command Prison.

Here, a large number of political prisoners, progressive youths, members of resistance organizations, and so on are detained.

Others are businessmen.

They didn't commit any crimes, but they were caught by the Japanese with an excuse.

Yes, it's just that the Japanese want to make money from them.

Yes, there are commercial conflicts of interest with Japanese businessmen.

As a result, he was directly imprisoned in the gendarmerie.

Now, a special "prisoner" came to the prison:
Meng Bofeng, President of the Judicial Yuan of the Pseudo-Nanjing Nationalist Government.

Originally, according to his rank, and in the absence of sufficient evidence, he should not have been imprisoned.

However, itan Shaozuo insisted on detaining Meng Bofeng, probably in order to avenge his boss Iwai Chaoqing.

The situation in Suzhou began to become tense, especially after Yoshishi Nishino decided to send troops to suppress the "riots" in Wuxi, Changzhou, and Changshu. Meng Bofeng was temporarily detained in prison.

Two reasons.

One is from the perspective of Meng Bofeng's personal safety.

The second is considered from the influence of Meng Bofeng.

Try to keep him away from contact with these "vital officials".

It is hard to say what impact it will have otherwise.

Of course, Meng Bofeng was not really imprisoned!
It is reasonable to detain, but in fact there is still a lot of freedom.

Habara Koichi specially prepared a single room for him.

Here, it used to be the guard's duty room.

Yiying has complete living facilities, and thoughtfully prepared pens and ink.

The door was not locked either, and Meng Bofeng could come in and out freely.

It didn't even say that it was a seizure. The external reason for putting Meng Bofeng here was:
Meng Bofeng is the president of the Judicial Yuan, so he was invited to inspect the Suzhou Prison and give suggestions for improvement.

Well, it is difficult for Habara Koichi to come up with such an excuse.

Habara Koichi and Meng Bofeng made an agreement to ask Meng Bofeng to live here temporarily until the truth is investigated. As long as he does not leave here, any of his activities will not be restricted, and any of his requests will be met.

Meng Bofeng actually readily agreed to this condition.

He asked Habara Hikaru to help him prepare a few bottles of good wine and some shredded tobacco that he was used to smoking.

Hikari Habara was satisfied with everything.

The warden of the prison is Takuten Yamaura, who also received a clear order from Koichi Habara:
Meng Bofeng is not allowed to be restricted, he can do whatever Meng Bofeng wants to do.

"What if he wants to rob prison?" Yamaura Takuken asked.

"Unless he's crazy." Hahara Koichi said coldly: "Do you think Meng Bofeng robbed the prison? If he was really a spy for the Chinese, would he expose himself for a prisoner? Unless this prisoner is the weight of the national government A high-level official, but in Suzhou, is there such a possibility? Even if he robs the prison, do you think he can escape?"

Of course not.

Outside is the Gendarmerie Command, where can he run with a prisoner?

Meng Bofeng is very satisfied with such "treatment".

He did so many things for nothing more than two purposes.

Get rid of Iwai Asaki and create evidence of his alibi.

Then, taken to the prison of the Gendarmerie Command!

Both of these goals have now been achieved.

Especially for the latter one, Habara Koichi would never have dreamed that Meng Bofeng was planning to go to jail!

Who can imagine this?
After Meng Bofeng entered the prison, he was treated solemnly by Shanpu Tuojian.

He even showed Meng Bofeng a tour of the prison.

Meng Bofeng really put forward some suggestions for rectification.

Yamaura Tuoken accepted it humbly.

Is this being seized?
"Is that all?"

Meng Bofeng asked after a general tour.

"There is also a secret prison, which is also here." Shanpu Tuojian immediately replied: "The prisoners there are all serious criminals."

"Take me to see."

"Ok."

Shanpu Tuojian took him to a secret prison.

In fact, this so-called secret prison is nothing more than a prison within a prison, with stricter guards.

A heavy iron fence door separates it from ordinary prisons.

There are a total of seven prison cells, each with iron doors locked, and only one window that can only be opened from the outside to see what's going on inside.

"This is Lao Jiangkang's deputy political commissar." Shanpu Tuojian introduced the felons in each cell: "This man's mouth is very strict. After he was arrested, we tried everything we could to get him he spoke...

This prison is a liaison officer from Chongqing, a major general. After we captured him, he also refused to speak. Mr. Meng, the bones of some Chinese people are still very hard. "

"You mean, my bones are not hard?" Meng Bofeng asked coldly.

"No, that's definitely not what it means." Yamaura Takuken knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed the subject and introduced each prison cell.

When he arrived at the last room, Takujian Yamaura opened the iron window from the outside: "A lunatic is locked inside."

"madman?"

"Yes."

"What crime did he commit?"

"I don't know." Yamaura Takuken replied honestly: "He was arrested by Mr. Iwai himself, and he was interrogated by Mr. Iwai himself during the interrogation. I don't know exactly what crime he committed.

It has been almost a year and a half since this person was arrested. The long-term detention has seriously damaged his spirit, and he later went crazy. "

a year and a half?

Previously, because of the restoration of Suzhou, the former commander of the Japanese army stationed in Suzhou Ichiro Mori was dismissed and replaced by Iwai Asakiyo.

In other words, not long after he took office, he immediately caught this person.

Meng Bofeng looked inside.

The prisoners held inside were filthy, sitting in the corner, giggling nonstop, grabbing straws from the ground and stuffing them into their mouths.

"What's his name? How old is he?" Meng Bofeng asked.

"The registered name is Sha Wenzhong." Shanpu Tuojian said, "It seems to be 60 years old?"

Meng Bofeng nodded: "Your Excellency Shanpu, you know that I have something to do with the death of Chief Iwai Asaki, don't you?"

Yamaura Takuken was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"This man named Sha Wenzhong has been arrested for a year and a half. I am curious whether Iwai Chaoqing personally arrested him and interrogated him alone." Meng Baifeng said lightly, "Maybe we can solve some mysteries from him."

"A madman?"

"A lunatic!" Meng Bofeng said solemnly: "I want to interrogate him personally, of course, in his cell, maybe this will help me clear my name, I hope to get this privilege."

Interrogating a lunatic, are you crazy too?
Thinking about Habara Koichi's explanation, Yamaura Takuken immediately agreed:
"Okay, but the interrogation can only be done here, you can't take him out of the cell."
