Chapter 1039 Ma Dazhi Emerges

"Ma Dazhi, the Chief Inspector of the French Concession? Hiss—" Li Qun, Wang Dabao, and several agents in the interrogation room all gasped in shock.

Ma Dazhi was no ordinary person, much less an ordinary police officer; he was a high-ranking police officer in the French Concession, and moreover, the French Concession was now considered an ally of the Japanese.

Although Li Qun, Wang Dabao, and others were ruthless and merciless, they dared not touch a high-ranking police officer in the French Concession. Even if Ma Dazhi committed a crime or had problems, it was an internal matter of the French Concession and had nothing to do with their 76th Division. They would handle the problems internally and would never tolerate their 76th Division overstepping its bounds.

Li Qun continued to ask Liu Changhe, "Why did Ma Dazhi hoard such a large amount of rice? Did he sell it, or did he transport it elsewhere?"

"I don't know. I'm only responsible for sending people to transport the rice to my warehouse. He sends people and vehicles to transport the rice every day. As for where it goes, whether it's sold or hoarded, I have no idea!" Liu Changhe said blankly.

Li Qun asked a few more questions, but overlooked whether the rice resale was still ongoing. However, in his subconscious, since the two agents who were sent out to follow and monitor the rice suddenly disappeared, Liu Changhe and Ma Dazhi's rice transfers had not occurred again, so the resale had naturally stopped.

The rice resale is still ongoing, but it has moved to a more covert operation and is no longer under the jurisdiction of No. 76.

"Director, what do we do now?" Wang Dabao asked.

Li Qun frowned. This case involved the Chief Inspector of the French Concession, which was too troublesome for him and the 76th Division. It was something he couldn't handle or decide. You have to know that all the Chinese police officers in the French Concession were nominally under Ma Dazhi's jurisdiction, and the vast majority of them were directly under Ma Dazhi's orders. Not to mention that he couldn't do anything to Ma Dazhi, even the Special Higher Police wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.

He considered for a moment and said, "Go and prepare all of Ma Dazhi's information. Let me take a look at it first. This matter is beyond our ability to handle. Let the Japanese deal with it!"

"understand!"

At this moment, Zhang Yunhe, dressed in Ironblood gear, stood stealthily against the wall in the corridor outside the interrogation room, listening to the conversation inside.

Since Liu Changhe had been arrested, it was only a matter of time before Ma Dazhi was exposed. Zhang Yunhe was prepared for this. After receiving Ma Dazhi's call, he immediately rushed over from Hong Kong, but he was still a step too late. By the time he sneaked into the interrogation room of the No. 76 underground prison, Liu Changhe had already confessed about Ma Dazhi.

However, Liu Changhe did not disclose that the rice resale was still ongoing. Zhang Yunhe felt that there was no need to silence him for the time being. Reselling rice was a capital offense for someone like Liu Changhe, since he had fallen into the hands of the 76th Division, but for Zhang Yunhe, it was not even a crime.

However, Ma Dazhi's rice resale has left many Japanese soldiers without rice. Given Ma Dazhi's current status, Zhang Yunhe believes that even the Special Higher Police or higher-ranking Japanese officials would not dare to act rashly against him. After all, the Japanese do not have many allies, and it would be unwise to cause conflict with allies over such a trivial matter.

"Then what should we do with Liu Changhe?" Wang Dabao asked again.

“Him? Lock him up for now. He might still be useful. We’ll talk about it after I go to the Special Higher Police and meet Murata Takasuke!” Li Qun said.

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Qun, Wang Dabao, Ninth Master, and others filed out of the interrogation room, and Liu Changhe was also dragged out of the interrogation room by two agents and locked in a cell.

Zhang Yunhe didn't want to kill unless absolutely necessary, because the current 76th Division and the Special Higher Police were not the same as before. Their security had been raised several levels. It had taken him a lot of effort to infiltrate this time. If he killed someone and made a commotion, it would be a question whether he could escape intact.

He was well aware that invisibility was not a panacea, and he would never act rashly without absolute certainty.

When leaving No. 76, Zhang Yunhe managed to escape by hanging from the chassis of the car Li Qun was riding in. Even so, the agents at the gate checked Li Qun's car several times and almost discovered him.

Ultra-high technology.

"Li Sang, you've arrived. I heard you've captured Liu Changhe. How's the interrogation going?" Murata Takasuke asked.

As Li Qun took out the interrogation records from his briefcase, he said, "The interrogation has been completed, and the result was beyond my expectations. Liu Changhe confessed that he was coerced, that someone threatened and instructed him to resell rice with You Shichang. This is the interrogation record."

"Oh? Who is that person?" Murata Takasuke asked.

Li Qun replied, "It's Ma Dazhi, the Chief Inspector of the Chinese Consulate in the French Concession!"

"Who did you say you were?"

“Ma Dazhi! Chief Inspector of the French Concession, this is no ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary policeman. We at 76 cannot touch this man. If we try to take action secretly, even if we succeed, it will likely cause huge trouble. If we take action but fail, then we at 76 will have gained a powerful enemy!”

“Ma Dazhi has absolute control and command over the Chinese police in the French Concession. If we fail, I’m sure the people from the 76th Division will never be able to enter the French Concession again, and even if they do, they won’t be able to get out!”

After listening, Murata Takasuke fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked, "Is Ma Dazhi simply hoarding and reselling rice, or is he transporting the rice to some other place?"

"Liu Changhe said he didn't know, and we also couldn't find out whether the nearly 200,000 shi of rice had entered the market, been transported to other places, or been hoarded!"

"Oh, right, this is a compilation of Ma Dazhi's life story that I had my subordinates collect and organize!" After saying this, Li Qun took out a file bag from his briefcase and handed it over.

He continued, "Ma Dazhi was just an ordinary businessman before, who had run a few shops in Shanghai and did all sorts of odd jobs, nothing suspicious! Three years ago, he suddenly transformed from a businessman into a Chinese police inspector in the French Concession Police Department. I heard that he got his position through connections with the chairman of the Municipal Council."

"I don't know if he bought his position or if he had an unusual relationship with the French chairman of the Municipal Council, but in any case, he rose from an ordinary person to the top in one step!"

Murata Takasuke flipped through Ma Dazhi's file, asking as he read, "Does Ma Dazhi have any connections with the underground Communist Party or the Blue Shirts Society?"

"We haven't found anything like this yet at our No. 76 headquarters, so I can't draw any conclusions!"

A few minutes later, Murata Takasuke closed the documents, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Qun and said, "It seems I need to pay a visit to this Chief Inspector Hua. Li-san, you're coming with me!"

"Hayi!"
