"Okay!" Luo Xingchao nodded and accepted the order.
In the commander's office of the military police headquarters, Takashi Katsuta and Takeshi Ishikawa sat facing each other, talking in hushed tones.
Takashi Katsuta said, "Fujiwara-kun means that this matter must be handled with some control, but we must force Hiroki Kagesa to back down and withdraw from the Shanghai smuggling market. This is our bottom line. Otherwise, if others follow suit, it will be difficult to deal with later."
Ning Zhiheng had already informed Katsuta Takashi about this operation. After all, Katsuta Takashi was the head of the Military Police Command, and such a big matter as the conflict with Kagesa Hiroki had to be explained to Katsuta Takashi. However, Katsuta Takashi had always been a loyal supporter of Fujiwara Tomohito, and as soon as he spoke, Katsuta Takashi expressed his unconditional support.
Ishikawa Takeshi was somewhat unwilling. He had always been eager to crack down on anything that harmed the interests of the Fujiwara Company. He asked, "Then can we detain Li Zhiqun and take some measures against him? This guy has always been restless. Last time he arrested a business partner of the Fujiwara Company, and now he's caused these troubles again. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll become even more audacious in the future."
Katsuta Takashi saw through Ishikawa Takeshi's thoughts and waved his hand, saying, "Don't act rashly. How could Li Zhiqun dare to do this without Kagesa's support? He's just a gofer. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Kagesa is currently riding high, is a confidant of Chief of Staff Itagaki, and has a close relationship with General Uehara. We absolutely cannot break ties with such a person. From Fujiwara-kun's perspective, the best solution is for everyone to take a step back."
"Give Li Zhiqun a hard time in a moment, and he'll naturally turn to Yingzu for help. After that, it'll be up to Fujiwara-kun and Yingzu to communicate. Don't cause any unnecessary trouble."
"Yes, sir!" Takeshi Ishikawa nodded in acceptance.
As scheduled by Ishikawa Takeshi, Li Zhiqun and Luo Xingchao quickly arrived at the military police headquarters. After stating their purpose, the officer on duty blocked his entourage at the door and led Li Zhiqun and Luo Xingchao to see Ishikawa Takeshi.
The officer on duty knocked gently on the door, and after receiving Ishikawa Takeshi's permission, he opened the door and gestured for the two men to enter.
Li Zhiqun calmed himself down, took a breath, and stepped into the office first. He saw Ishikawa Takeshi writing something at his desk and ignoring him.
Li Zhiqun was quite embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Ishikawa, please forgive my lateness!"
Upon hearing this, Ishikawa Takeshi raised his head, glanced at Li Zhiqun, then at Luo Xingchao behind him, and nodded.
He knew Luo Xingchao. After all, Luo Xingchao was in charge of the work of the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters when Li Zhiqun was away. They were both from intelligence agencies, and the two had interacted several times because of their work.
"Minister Li, Director Luo, we've called you here to cooperate with our investigation. These are our interrogation statements; please take a look!"
After saying that, he threw an interrogation record on the table. Ye Yaoxian was so frightened after being arrested that he collapsed to the ground. He didn't have to do anything and immediately told the whole story clearly.
However, as previously agreed, Tsuda Naoki omitted all the content involving Kagesa Hiroki, so that the testimony would only contain information about Li Zhiqun.
Li Zhiqun hurriedly stepped forward and took the confession. He was uneasy and didn't know what Ye Yaoxian had said under the coercion of these Japanese, or what crime these Japanese wanted to pin on him.
After reading the statement, he felt slightly relieved. He didn't believe that Ye Yaoxian, with his backbone, would hold back under the interrogation of the Japanese. Now it seemed that Ishikawa Takeshi deliberately excluded Kagesa Hiroki. But if that was the case, wouldn't he have to take the blame for everything? Did they really intend to harm him?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiqun felt a chill run down his spine again. He was the kind of person who was naturally suspicious, and he could connect one thing to two, and two things to other things. In short, he would take the worst-case scenario as the basis for his countermeasures.
Besides, he wasn't one to sit idly by and wait to die. Wasn't this the kind of powerful backer he was meant to use as a protective charm at this moment?
