Chapter 957 Duan Wenxuan is arrested

Just when Lin Ze was about to leave Peking for Tianjin, Wang Xiaoshou suddenly made a secret visit.

"Master Lin, Duan Wenxuan was taken away by the Military Police Headquarters?"

Lin Ze couldn't help but put down his tea bowl when he heard this. "Xiao Duan was taken away? When?"

Wang Xiaoshou was also a little anxious. He knew that Xiao Duan was very close to Lin Ze when he was in Tianjin, and it was Lin Ze who arranged for him to come to Peking to serve as the detective team leader.

The Military Police Headquarters would never arrest a detective captain for no reason. Either they have solid evidence. If they arrest someone without any evidence, then the situation is even more complicated, and it is obviously targeting Lin Ze.

"Just this morning, Captain Duan was taken away by a team of military police on the way before he even arrived at the detective team. Master Lin, do you want to..."

Lin Ze shook his head. "Don't act rashly. I'm calling Hua Guzheng. Go back to the police station immediately. Don't go back secretly. Leave my house in a swagger."

After Wang Xiaoshou left, Lin Ze called Niu Saner over and said, "Tell our people to remain silent and not to contact each other casually, especially those in the Military Police Headquarters, including Qing Shuihao. Just handle the case as needed and don't pass on any information to us."

"Yes!"

This kid, Hanatani Masaru, is like a conspicuous person who longs for praise from the teacher. As long as he gets the chance, he will do anything to get it!

He had said nice things before, but now when something happened, he arrested people without even saying hello. It was absolutely impossible for him to say that he didn't know the relationship between Duan Wenxuan and Lin Ze.

Gendarmerie Headquarters.

Hua Gu was sitting in the office, frowning in thought.

He also didn't expect that catching a little Karami who wanted to have sex in a brothel would lead to the discovery of a person like the detective captain.

According to Li Yifei's description, Duan Wenxuan would go to Tianhuizhai to buy snuff from time to time, and every now and then he would sit down with the shopkeeper Chen to drink tea and chat.

The place for chatting is in the private room at the back which is specially used to entertain distinguished guests, which is very suspicious.

With Duan Wenxuan's current position, although he is not among the top few in Peking, he is also a well-known figure. Why would he go out to buy snuff when he has nothing to do?

Besides, this shopkeeper Chen is highly suspected to be the person in charge of the Special Operations Department’s transportation station. In this case, doesn’t Duan Wenxuan also have problems?

But what bothered him was that Duan Wenxuan's deputy captain of the detective team was operated by Lin Ze. Did Lin Ze know about this matter? If he knew, why did he conceal it?

Hua Guzheng thought about it almost all night and finally made up his mind. No matter whether Lin Ze had done him a favor or not, as the commander-in-chief of the gendarmerie, he had to achieve results if he wanted to be promoted. The best way to achieve results was to catch spies. If he could prove that Duan Wenxuan was a spy, it would be a great achievement. Even if Lin Ze was responsible, he was deceived. He would then help him out.

In short, the most important thing is to make achievements and get promoted!

So Hua Guzheng ordered people to arrest Duan Wenxuan, but emphasized that no torture should be used for the time being.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

After being the chief officer for a while, Hua Gu was acting quite properly. He sat up straight, picked up the documents, and looked busy and serious.

An officer walked in, "Commander, Captain Wang did go to the Lin Mansion..."

Hanaya nodded.

It’s not surprising that Wang Xiaoshou went to find Lin Ze.

If a deputy captain was captured, it would be strange if he didn't go to find Lin Ze first.

"What's going on at Colonel Lin's house?"

"Everything is normal, there is no special reaction."

"What about inside our headquarters? Is anyone asking about this case?"

"Sir Commander, apart from the few officers you have appointed to handle the case, no other officers have inquired about this matter."

Hua Gu Zheng was very satisfied.

Yo! It seems the headquarters is still under my control!

He was not worried about Lin Ze. After all, in his understanding, Lin Ze was not able to cover everything in the Peking Military Police Headquarters. He had been away for a long time and no longer had much influence.

What he was worried about was Kitahara Ransuke. After all, many military officers were recommended by Kitahara. If this matter leaked out and Kitahara found out, it would be bad if he took over the case.

"Let's go to the interrogation room!"

In the interrogation room, Duan Wenxuan looked calm, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

We finally got to this point.

Although I have thought about this day since I started working in this industry, I still feel a little sad when I really face this moment.

If I die, I die. My family is in Tianjin. With Master Lin's protection, I'm sure nothing will happen to them. But my father...

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Duan Wenxuan's expression immediately changed to one of shock and anger, "Commander Huagu! What on earth is going on?"

Hua Guzheng smiled. "Alright, Captain Duan, stop pretending. My family has been either spies or catching spies for generations. It's ridiculous to keep using those tricks. If I didn't have any concrete information, would I arrest you based on your relationship with Colonel Lin?"

Duan Wenxuan's heart sank. "Who knows if you're going after Master Lin? I've dedicated myself to the empire and made many contributions. This isn't some random accusation from your military police headquarters!"

Hua Guzheng sat down and lit a cigarette.

He was enjoying this moment. In the interrogation room, the pleasure of controlling the fate of others would fascinate many people.

"Tian Hui Zhai, Shopkeeper Chen, do I need to continue? Duan Wenxuan, we've met several times before. I'm giving you a favor. If you cooperate well, if we can catch this clue in one fell swoop, not only will I spare your life, you can continue to be an official. If you can cooperate with us as a double agent, we will even give you a promotion. A big promotion, understand?"

Duan Wenxuan scoffed. "So it's Tianhuizhai that's the problem? I've bought snuff there before, but I'm not that familiar with the owner. How could I, a deputy captain of the detective team, be involved with a businessman like that?"

Hua Guzheng said calmly, "Tianhuizhai has been under our control. Once we control the other contact persons, we will launch a full-scale arrest. By then, you will have no chance to cooperate. We are in the same business. Just because I won't torture you now doesn't mean I won't torture you later. Whether you want wealth and glory, or die after suffering untold physical pain, it's your choice."

"False accusation! This is a complete false accusation! Does that mean everyone who buys snuff is a spy? Hanaya Masaru, you're trying to gain merit by falsely accusing someone who has done meritorious service to the empire. I'm suing you!"

Hua Gu was about to say something when his adjutant pushed the door open and whispered in his ear, "Colonel Lin called."

Hua Gu was now more and more certain that Lin Ze didn't know what Duan Wenxuan had done in private, so he nodded and said, "I understand. Colonel Lin, please wait a moment. I'll go pick it up right away."
