Chapter 3 Special Interrogation

  The Kui was knocked down and passed through the special high class of Ning's death-defying test, and was carried to a special room for an extremely special interrogation.

  The highest special agency of Japan in China borrowed the world's top electronic technology and painting techniques at that time, carefully designing this special interrogation room. Entering the interrogation room is like stepping into a world that is sometimes beautiful and magnificent, and sometimes gloomy and terrifying. The prisoner being interrogated feels as if he has returned to nature one moment, and the next moment he is trapped in a dark and terrifying torture. What kind of "treatment" should be given to the prisoner is entirely determined by the chief interrogator based on the other party's performance and the needs of the interrogation. Due to its high-end nature, neither the interrogator nor the person being interrogated are simple characters.

  The agent brought in the stretcher and, taking advantage of the opportunity, glanced around the room a few times before nodding to the two people who had been waiting here for some time, then reluctantly backed out.

  The military doctor in the white coat bowed to another mysterious figure, then picked up a syringe from a medical tray that had been prepared earlier, rolled up Kaito's sleeve and administered an injection of licorice extract before sitting down on a chair, waiting for him to wake up.

  This licorice potion is indeed the natural enemy of mandrake, and soon Kawara's consciousness gradually cleared up. The military doctor immediately picked up another syringe and injected a drug that could cause hallucinations in the central nervous system into Kawara's body, subjecting him to the second test.

  "Ask away, sir." The military doctor said, then bowed and retreated behind the mysterious figure.

  The mysterious figure had interrogated countless prisoners, all of whom were radical anti-Japanese activists. Interrogating one of his own was a first for him. Thus, he hesitated for a long time before getting to the point.

  "Do you know me?"

  "I don't know."

  "I am Kawaki Ichirō, from Shizuoka Prefecture of the Great Empire of Japan."

  "Who are you? How dare you impersonate me, Kawahara Ichirou?"

  The mysterious figure nodded in satisfaction at the military doctor after seeing the effect of the medicine on Kawaki.

  "Are you really Kawaki Ichirō?" the mysterious person asked.

  "Yes." Kawari replied.

  "I am Shinjuku Jun."

  "Who's that?" The head of the cavalry moved slightly, and then said: "Xin Zhuang Shun was reduced to ashes, Lieutenant Ben knew him. Narrow forehead, collapsed nose bridge, toad mouth, fighting cock eyes, 1 meter 52 in height. Ugly beyond recognition, if he didn't become a middle-ranking officer, I'm afraid even women would shun him."

  "You're wrong. Shinobu Niizaki is 160 cm tall, with a broad forehead, garlic nose, thick lips, horse face and cow eyes, and can speak fluent Chinese."

  "This is Honjo Katsuhiro, not Shinjuku Jun."

  "Shinjō Junpachi was a Chinese language teacher at Yamanashi Middle School, later worked at Yokohama Port, and after going to China, he always served as a Chinese translator for General Itagaki."

  "Who are you?"

  "To be honest with you, I am not Shinjuku Jun, but his friend."

  "Just go ahead and brag. Zhang Guan Li Dai forced my experience on Shinjiro Nezu, what a friend?"

  "Could it be that I was wrong?"

  "Absolutely wrong!"

  "No way. My friend Shin'ichi Niizuma is always complaining, and when he's drunk, he tells me his troubles, saying that he's thinking of two women all the time - one is a cherry blossom under Mt. Fuji, and the other is Michiko, the daughter of the president of Yokohama Harbour Transport Company."

  "Let his mother's fart stink! Those two women are mine, I'm Kawahara Ichirō!" Kawahara suddenly sat up in anger.

  "Yo, yo." The mysterious figure praised the military doctor with satisfaction, and the military doctor hinted to him that something even more wonderful was yet to come.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, he saw the cavalry officer bow his head and ask: "Who are you?"

  "I am Shinjō Jun's good friend."

  "If Xin Zhuang Chun had a noble friend like you, he would have left the grassland long ago."

  "Can you talk about your personal hobbies? Kawaki-kun."

  "You've finally recognized me! Kaito Minamoto is honored for three lifetimes!"

  "Let's cut the idle chatter and get back to the main story."

  "Please speak, I'm all ears."

  "Who is the person you admire most? Kawahime."

  Wu Cheng'en

  "What's your favorite book?"

  "Journey to the West."

  "Who do you think is the most successfully portrayed character in the four great classical novels of ancient China, namely 'Dream of the Red Chamber', 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', 'Water Margin' and 'Journey to the West'?"

  "Sun Wukong."

  "Why not Cao Cao? He is both literary and martial."

  "I don't understand politics."

  "What about Guan Yu, who had gone through five passes and beheaded six generals?"

  "I really only like Sun Wukong."

  "What is the one thing you want to do most in your life?"

  "Re-tracing the route of Monk Tang's journey to the Western Heaven to fetch scriptures."

  "What is your most recognized ancient building?"

  The Great Wall.

  "Which country do you yearn for most?"

  China.

  "Are you aware of your crime, bold river rider?"

  "What crime has General River committed?!"

  "As a Chinese translator under Bantō's cabinet, you betrayed the Great Japanese Empire due to your longing for China and Chinese culture, and are willing to be a spy for the Shina people."

  "It's a false accusation! The scar on my head is as big as a bowl, I would never betray my own country!"

  "Really?"

  "I will never go back on my word!"

  "What's going on with the strict punishment?"

  "Absolutely not!"

  "What's with the seductive appearance?"

  "Absolutely not!"

  "Unable to move on your own, while the enemy uses violence against the woman you love right in front of you?"

  "Absolutely...not!"

  The mysterious figure was very satisfied, patted the military doctor's shoulder with his hand, and the military doctor was so happy that he cried tears of joy. He took off his glasses from his forehead, pulled out a white handkerchief to wipe away his tears, looking quite pleased with himself.

  "Although Mr. Chuanqi said it with great conviction, I still don't believe it."

  "Can you tell me the reason?"

  "Because you're a fragile cultural person."

  "You don't know much about ancient Chinese history. So this statement is a bit arbitrary."

  "How can you be sure?"

  "The Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen's old ministers during the Jingnan campaign of the Ming dynasty in China, surprisingly, it was the military generals who surrendered to Zhu Di, while the civil officials refused to yield, especially Fang Xiaoru."

  "Hurray, hurray." The mysterious figure was extremely satisfied and applauded enthusiastically.

  "Why do you want me to know these things?"

  "I have a special task for you."

  "What's the mission? Does General Itagaki know?"

  "I don't know."

  "Where is the head of the Tudi yamen?"

  "You take orders directly from him."

  "What if General Itagaki doesn't allow it?"

  "He has no right to know."

  "I'm a foolish and clumsy river rider, please instruct me."

  "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, this is a discipline you must follow."

  "What kind of background does my boss have?"

  "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, I've already warned you."

  Chuan Qi passed the test of this special trial, and when the mysterious figure left the room and walked into the corridor outside, the black-clad agents standing like tree stumps on both sides bowed their heads in unison.

  A mysterious figure walked up to Mieko and said, "Take him away, reward this kid with your enchanting body that can charm thousands of people. Benchang likes him."

  "Hey!" said Michiko, standing at attention with her legs together.
