"If the other party really died from poisoning, he is definitely involved."
A flash of anger crossed Lin Jingyu's face. "It seems the lesson I taught him last time wasn't enough. He dared to use poison before his hand was fully healed."
“Sister Jingyu, if he keeps poisoning people like this, I don’t know how many people will die.”
Peng Shiyu looked terrified. "I think it would be better to arrest him quickly, otherwise more and more people will be killed by him."
"They cannot be arrested for the time being."
Grandpa Zhang's voice came through.
Only then did the two realize that the old man had started walking briskly.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa Zhang".
The two immediately stood up to greet each other.
"It's alright, sit down."
Grandpa Zhang walked over and sat down in the rattan chair. “We can’t arrest the Japanese devil. It’s not that we’re letting him harm people, but we really can’t touch him until we figure out why he appeared in Shuibu Village.”
"Grandpa Zhang, arrest him."
Peng Shiyu said resentfully, "Then torture him and make him honestly explain why he came to Shuibu Village. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"Poetic girl, you're thinking too simply."
Grandpa Zhang shook his head gently. "You should know that some Japanese soldiers chose to commit seppuku as soon as they realized their identities had been exposed."
We might just be about to make a move to arrest him when he commits suicide, leaving us with a corpse.
Even if this Japanese soldier doesn't commit suicide, and we arrest and interrogate him, how can you be sure that what he says is true?
What if it's a trap he set?
That will only kill more innocent people.
Most importantly, we speculate that this Japanese soldier might be searching for a toxin that the Japanese developed in China during the War of Resistance against Japan.
Only by digging this thing out and eliminating future troubles can we prevent the Japanese from triggering it. In that case, the number of people who die will not be just one or two, but dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Do you think we dare to gamble?
"Grandpa Zhang, I'm so useless."
Peng Shiyu looked ashamed. "I was scared by the Japanese devils' tricks and gave them bad advice."
"It's not your fault, you're still young."
Grandpa Zhang smiled reassuringly, "It's not surprising that you have such thoughts because you've seen too little and don't know the Japanese devils' methods."
Actually, if possible, we would like to wipe out the Japanese devils as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, that's not possible now.
If we really mess with the Japanese, we'll only alert them, and nobody knows what the consequences will be.
The only option is to outlast him with patience and keep watching until he finds the item.
"But he wants to harm people."
Peng Shiyu knew that what the old man said made sense.
It's hard to let go of the fact that the Japanese devils harmed people.
She couldn't help but say again, "If only we could find a way to prevent him from harming people."
“It’s difficult.”
Grandpa Zhang looked helpless. "We've been keeping an eye on him, but this time he didn't poison us himself, so we had no way of knowing beforehand."
"Yes, he didn't even have any contact with the other party."
Peng Shiyu asked in bewilderment, "How did he poison the person?"
"Killing with a borrowed knife."
Lin Jingyu said softly, "If I'm not guessing, the person who did it is very likely Zhang Zhaodi."
"Is it her?"
Peng Shiyu didn't even consider the possibility of her involvement, and asked in shock, "Sister Jingyu, how could Zhang Zhaodi be so bold as to poison someone?"
I don't know if she's brave or not.
Lin Jingyu gently shook her head, "But I never underestimate anyone. Maybe she wasn't the one who did it, but in my opinion, she's the most suspicious."
She had frequent contact with the Japanese soldiers and was also able to meet the women he was exchanging brides with.
"It's the easiest thing for her to do, and it won't arouse suspicion."
"It sounds like Zhang Zhaodi is indeed the most suspicious."
Peng Shiyu frowned. "If the police investigate, won't they find her quickly?"
What if she confesses to being a Japanese soldier?
"Don't underestimate him."
Lin Jingyu added, "Even if Zhang Zhaodi confesses to him, the Japanese can easily clear their name with their methods. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
As expected.
The police quickly went to Zhang Zhaodi's home and found her.
No matter how much she and her family protested their innocence, they were still taken away by the police.
Half a day.
Four police officers appeared in the front yard of the educated youth community.
The person they were looking for was Tian Danxiong.
Upon learning that Zhang Zhaodi had confessed that he was the one who provided the poison, Tian Danxiong was utterly astonished.
He kept shouting "absurd, so absurd!"
Regardless of his reaction, the police took him and the various drugs they found away with them.
Perhaps the Japanese soldiers were portrayed too well in Shuibu Village.
Almost no one believes he was involved in the poisoning case.
Everyone was blaming Zhang Zhaodi for deliberately accusing innocent Japanese soldiers.
Several people in the know felt a mix of amusement and exasperation upon learning the news.
Just as Lin Jingyu said.
The Japanese soldier was quickly exonerated and released.
Many people felt that the Japanese soldiers had been wronged and went to comfort them.
Calling them "little devils" garnered a lot of sympathy.
"Sister Jingyu, you guessed right."
Peng Shiyu felt like her eyes had been opened. "The Japanese devils were indeed released without charge, and the one who ultimately bore the consequences of the murder was Zhang Zhaodi."
Those damned Japanese devils! They killed two people at once; they're utterly despicable!
"The Japanese devils are indeed hateful."
Lin Jingyu said calmly, "In a word, Zhang Zhaodi brought this upon herself. It's not like the Japanese forced her to poison and kill people."
