Yamagawa Manzo took out a photograph and placed it in front of Nan Zao Yun Zi.
"How do you explain this photo?" he asked.
"This was taken when I was in Jinling, in my rented room. I suspect they found it and took a re-photograph when I left Nanjing," she replied.
"Then explain why multiple Guomindang agents launched such a large-scale attack on the Gendarmerie Headquarters, using the rare Guomindang submachine guns. They fought to the death to rescue you, and many people died! How important are you? What do you know? What intelligence do you possess that would make the Guomindang willing to pay such a high price for your rescue?"
"I really don’t know!" she exclaimed.
"What exactly did you do in Jinling? Who did you meet? What intelligence did you acquire? Speak!"
"I was just a waitress at Tangshan Hot Spring Lodge, gathering information under the guise of service," she said.
"Is that all?"
"Yes!"
"Then who is Dai Xian?"
"I know Dai Xian, he is Dai Jitao, the head of the Nationalist Party Examination Yuan."
"Nonsense! We’ve already checked. That so-called Dai Jitao is in prison; the Guomindang court has sentenced him to death, and he will be executed in three days! Do you think someone who is about to be executed can send several Lixing Society agents to rescue you? Do you really believe that’s possible? Tell me! How do you know Dai Li? How long have you worked for him? What do you know about imperial intelligence?"
Takaishi, One, and Ninomiya looked at Yamagawa Manzo with surprise.
"This old guy is impressive! He just dumped all the blame on her with a few words!"
"What talent! With your performance, we seem superfluous!"
Nan Zao Yun Zi panicked. How did this turn into a discussion about Dai Li? She didn’t know him!
"No! I don’t know Dai Li! I only know Dai Jitao!" she insisted.
"Still trying to argue! Look at this!" A newspaper was thrown in front of Nan Zao Yun Zi. It was from the Guomindang Central News, featuring a clear photo of the principal smiling in military uniform next to Major General Dai Jitao, along with photos of Tojo Commanding Officer and Tofu General's corpses.
The news praised General Dai Li for achieving new heights in the Anti-Japanese campaign, highlighting how his Lixing Society had assassinated two Japanese Army Major Generals and several members of the Japanese Gendarmerie in one strike!
Nan Zao Yun Zi was stunned. Could it be that Dai Li disguised himself as Dai Jitao to get close to her, feeding her some misleading information to gain her trust, then exposing her and tracking her all the way to the Northeast until her teacher appeared, along with Tojo Commanding Officer, before launching an attack? What a clever scheme!
As for why he would rescue her—perhaps Dai Li was infatuated with her body! During her time at Tangshan Hot Spring Resort, he had been insatiable, wanting more every day. Although their encounters were brief, his desires were great; it must be something like that! Otherwise, it made no sense at all!
Though she figured it out, she dared not say it aloud!
If she speaks, she will surely die, and her family might suffer the same fate! If she remains silent, under the threat of torture, she truly doesn't know if she can withstand it! After all, when it comes to interrogation techniques, she is quite skilled herself!
As Nan Zao Yun Zi was caught in her thoughts and hesitation, her expression was noticed by several people present.
"You've figured it out, haven't you? What Dai Jitao is really after is Dai Li! He brought you to the Tangshan Hot Spring Lodge, allowed you to get close, and fed you information just to set you up and expose you. On your escape route in the Northeast, you were constantly being watched. It was only when the watchers spotted two generals that they decided to act! So, Nan Zao Yun Zi, brace yourself! You have already betrayed the Dai Ri Empire! For the sake of your family, you'd better prepare yourself! Otherwise, I will deliver your parents' heads right to you, and I will personally make them suffer!"
Nan Zao Yun Zi was stunned, and the other three members of the interrogation team were equally shocked. Who exactly is this Shanoka Manzo?
