Chapter 240.

Inoue Taro had disappeared!

Inoue Nichiaki was a bit panicked, he hurriedly sent someone to ask Nanaki Mitsuru to come over, Inoue Taro was his righteous son and knew too many secrets of Inoue Public House.

In case he was arrested and confessed, it would be a devastating blow to the Inoue Public Hall.

“Your Excellency Nanben, I arranged for Taro to go to the Concession on business, but it’s been a day and a night since I’ve seen him, and I’m worried ……”

“Chairman Inoue, what did you send Taro on?”

“Hanako is wanted, I sent Taro to fetch her back.”

“Why didn’t you discuss such an important matter with me?” Mitsuru Nanoto instantly questioned.

“I only arranged for Taro to go and fetch the person back, I didn’t ask him to do anything else ……” Inoue Hinaki froze for a moment.

“You should stop acting rashly, I’ll get someone to ask around sideways.” Minamoto Mitsuru also knew that Inoue Nikiaki had done nothing wrong in this matter even though he hadn’t discussed it with him.

“Please, Your Excellency Nanoto.”

“If both Hanako and Taro fell into the hands of the Concession Patrol, that would be fine, but if they were found by the Blue Clothes Society, that would be a problem!” Minamoto Mitsuru wrinkled his brow and said.

“Yeah, but if they’re in the hands of the Constabulary, we’ll still need the Military Police Command to step in.”

“I’ll determine where the person is first.” Minamoto Mitsuru said.

On the sixteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, inside the torture room of the old gate constabulary.

Taro Inoue didn’t seem to be thinking about opening his mouth, so he would have to be asked to taste the torture of this Kobo Police Department’s Patrol Room.

Let’s start with a three-piece set.

Whipping, the tiger stool, and chili water.

Basically, to the prisoners here, basically three sets to him down, then all confessed.

Can resist, that are not ordinary people, and really can resist people, that the inspectors do not dare to be too difficult again.

These days, tough guys are the most admirable.

This Inoue Taro did not sleep a night, in the morning was hung up, dipped in salt water whip, whip up, that is called a sleepless.

Ten lashes down.

This front chest is visible ten red whip marks, red and white interlaced, looks really have a kind of oozing feeling.

Cold water poured.

Inoue Taro steeply a jolt, it was not easy to close his eyes to fall asleep in the past, and then give a whole wake up, the physical pain coupled with the sleepiness that his brain kept making, he had never had such a feeling in his life.

He only felt that his willpower was being rapidly withdrawn from his body bit by bit.

“Gangzi, take a break and drink some water.” Xu Qinghe handed the executing Lei Gang a cup of water.

Lei Gang took the cup of water, spat out a mouthful of spit, then drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to come back.

“Park Jimin, let’s call you that for now, do you want to talk, don’t want to talk, let’s continue?” Xu Qinghe stepped forward and asked.

“What should be said, I have said ……”

“Still fucking stubborn.” Xu Qinghe scolded, “Gangzi, continue.”

“Alright.” Lei Gang copied the salt water stabbed leather whip, flung the water on it, and this time it was aimed at Inoue Taro’s back, and slammed a whip down.

“Ah!”

Inoue Taro screamed miserably, his teeth clenched, and his legs and stomach winced in pain.

“Recant, or not?” Lei Gang went down with two more lashes, coming to a criss-cross on Inoue Taro’s back, hurting him miserably, tears and snot flying out at the same time.

“I say, I say ……” Inoue Taro finally couldn’t stay up and opened his mouth.

“Wait, I’ll go call the chief over.” Xu Qinghe hurriedly extinguished the cigarette he had just lit and flew out.

Cheng Mo was also a bit surprised when he received Xu Qinghe’s report, this “Park Jimin” actually succumbed to the punishment so quickly.

It seems that the inspectors rely on torture to handle cases is the most trouble-free and labor-saving way, no wonder many people like to use, but this is also very easy to cause false cases, the destructive power of a wrong case is far more than you do ten, a hundred correct cases.

It’s like how no one remembers when you do a hundred good things, but, you only need to do one bad thing to be remembered for the same reason.

“Say, your name, age?”

“Taro Inoue, twenty-eight years old.”

“What do you do?”

“Trade, international trade.”

“Trade, what kind of trade?”

“Whatever makes money, big as steel, cotton yarn, all kinds of non-ferrous metals, small as candy, canned goods, sewing needles, daily necessities.”

“What is the relationship between you and the little Iris Hanako who lives in room 503 of the Jiahe apartment?”

“You guys actually looked into Hanako?” Inoue Taro glanced up in surprise.

“Surprised? The person who knocked you out only rolled away the belongings in the room, while the key information that could prove identity was not taken.” Cheng Mo hemmed and hawed.

“You guys already knew about Hanako’s identity?”

“I don’t know, we also realized that Huang Xiaoling is Little Iris Hanako only after we discovered apartment 503, she went through great lengths to sneak into Jiren Hospital to spy and observe my wife, what exactly do you guys want?” Cheng Mo questioned.

“Inspector Cheng, since you know all about it, why do you have to ask knowingly?” Inoue Taro smiled ruefully, “If I had known, why would I have to suffer this.”

“I always have to corroborate something from you, and I’ve told you, so you’re not just going to go along with it… is there any point in this kind of interrogation?”

“You’re right, I can’t talk you down.” Inoue Taro was speechless, “Inspector Cheng, what are you going to do with me next?”

“Given your status, I’m afraid I don’t have the authority to dispose of you, I’ll have to report it to the higher-ups of the Bureau of Public Works, and as for how the higher-ups will dispose of you, that’s not something I can comment on.”

“I have known Hanako since we were children …….”

Cheng Mo patiently listened to the story Inoue Taro made up, in fact, when he said his name, Cheng Mo knew his identity.

However, he pretended to be unaware of all this, knowing full well that he was making up a story, and he didn’t interrupt him, but instead listened while having someone record it, occasionally interjecting.

In the end, it took less than an hour for the transcript of the questioning about Inoue Taro to come out for him to sign and put his handprints on.

Cheng Mo then took this statement to see Pryde.

The case is beyond the scope of the duty limit, only to submit it upwards, even if it is a party, but also have to abide by the rules, and even this case involves Su Moer, he should also recuse himself.

After the case was submitted.

The top management of the Police Department of the Bureau of Public Works soon appointed a British detective to take over the case, Cheng Mo will be all the case files as well as the detained Inoue Taro all handed over.

Pryde promised that this case would give an account of itself. Cheng Mo knew that the British would definitely take this case to make a deal with the Japanese, and as for what deal to make, there was no way for him, a Chinese, to get involved, even if the final result was not favorable to him, he did not have the slightest solution.

This is the rule of the weak and the strong.

The British are not going to care about the legal rights of a yellow-skinned Chinese, it’s good that they can look at you.
