Chapter 514 Killing the Traitor

As the car drove along, a man wearing a top hat sat in the passenger seat in front of Choi Kwang-ki. Choi could not see the man's face. Captain Kurata and Choi Kwang-ki sat side by side in the back seat.

No one in the car spoke. Japanese people generally looked down on Chinese people, and these Japanese agents were no exception. Cui Guangqi had dealt with them before and knew this situation, so he didn't take it seriously.

However, after driving for a while, Cui Guangqi sensed something was wrong. He looked at the scenery outside the car window, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

"Captain Kurata, this isn't the way to the Special Higher Police!" Choi Kwang-ki couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Cui, you talk too much. This is Team Leader Imai's arrangement!" Captain Kurata said coldly in broken Chinese, his expression showing impatience.

Seeing the other party's unfriendly expression, Cui Guangqi said no more. He dared not offend these Japanese agents and could not ask any more questions, but his vigilance remained. At this moment, he secretly regretted that things had changed.

Was I too careless? If the agents around me are not trustworthy, are these Japanese people trustworthy?

According to Takeshita Shinya, the Fujiwara family wields immense power in Japan. Would these Japanese really investigate the Fujiwara family members based on his accusation, given that he was just a nobody? Could they have other plans? At this moment, Cui Guangqi was filled with unease, but he dared not act rashly. If it was indeed Imai's arrangement, any resistance would be disobeying orders.

The vehicle drove further and further away, leaving the bustling downtown area of ​​Shanghai and onto a secluded side road. At this point, Cui Guangqi felt increasingly uneasy. He steeled his resolve and decided to leave first; he couldn't continue down this muddled path any longer.

He quietly reached for the car door handle, but Captain Kurata beside him gave a cold smile and said, "Captain Cui, where do you think you're going?"

These words instantly made Cui Guangqi's soul fly to the sky, because when Captain Kurata said these words, there was no longer any stiffness as before. His tone was natural and fluent, and he even changed his address to Captain Cui!

The moment those words left his mouth, an arm reached out from behind him and tightly gripped his neck, quickly strangling him to death on the back seat. The hand that reached for his waist was also firmly pressed down.

At the same time, the man who claimed to be Captain Kurata also punched Cui Guangqi hard in the left ribs. The force was so great that Cui Guangqi could not bear it and let out a scream.

Sun Jiacheng, who was impersonating Captain Kurata, attacked with overwhelming force. He knew that Cui Guangqi was also a master of combat, so he showed no mercy and gave Cui Guangqi no chance.

This sudden turn of events caught Cui Guangqi completely off guard. His scream was abruptly cut short by the powerful force gripping his neck. Hidden behind him was Zuo Gang. The two of them were Ning Zhiheng's best fighters. To ensure success, they were tasked with dealing with Cui Guangqi together. Their teamwork was impeccable, and they subdued Cui Guangqi with a single move.

Sun Jiacheng continued his relentless attacks, his fists striking Cui Guangqi's completely exposed body. Each heavy punch caused Cui Guangqi's tense body to tremble, and the damage to his internal organs caused blood to continuously spill from his nose and open mouth, while he made whimpering sounds.

His muscles were getting weaker and weaker, and his hand, which had been trying to reach for the gun, was already limp and powerless. By the time Sun Jiacheng stopped, Cui Guangqi was already on the verge of death, and with his neck being strangled too tightly, he had fallen into a coma.

Sun Jiacheng knew how strong he was; after this barrage of blows, Cui Guangqi would definitely be powerless to fight back.

At this moment, the young man who had been sitting in front finally spoke up, saying, "Let him go, we'll deal with him later!"

As Zuo Gang loosened his grip, Cui Guangqi was able to breathe more easily and involuntarily took a deep breath to recover.

Sun Jiacheng took out a rope and tied Cui Guangqi's hands and feet together, then gagged him with a wad of cloth. Zuo Gang rummaged through Cui Guangqi's body for a while and took out two Browning pistols.

The vehicle continued driving until it finally stopped in a desolate place.

Everyone got out of the car, and Sun Jiacheng and Zuo Gang dragged Cui Guangqi, who had been beaten to the point of collapse, out of the car.

They dragged Cui Guangqi like a dead dog to an open space where a deep pit had already been dug. Then they reached in and pried the rag out of his mouth.

As Cui Guangqi gradually regained consciousness, he lay face down, pressed tightly against the ground. He had no strength left in his body, and every struggle was excruciatingly painful. But he refused to give up and, with all his might, spent half a day finally managing to turn over and lie flat on the ground, facing upwards at the three people standing beside him.

"Military Intelligence?"

Cui Guangqi's voice was weak. He already knew that these people were not Japanese, but must be an anti-traitor squad sent by headquarters.

"I found out a little too late!"

The young man who had been standing in front of Cui Guangqi with his hands behind his back, taking a step forward, slowly removed his top hat, and raised his head slightly to reveal a cold and stern face.

"Cui Guangqi, you have good eyesight. Do you recognize me now?"

"It's you. Who are you?"

Cui Guangqi's eyes widened in disbelief; this young man was the very target he was investigating and exposing.

Fujiwara Tomohito, the president of Fujiwara Company!

But Cui Guangqi now knows that this is definitely a cover for his identity.

The moment he was taken into custody, Cui Guangqi knew that the liaison officer, Takeshita Shinya, must be the mole. His arrest must be because he recognized the mole. As soon as he reported the matter to Takeshita Shinya, the mole reacted quickly and sent Takeshita Shinya to trick him out of the detective department by phone. He even got into the mole's car alone and fell into the trap.
