Hearing that, Hioki's anger towards his own people disappeared, and he questioned Zhu Erdian: ”Sir, did you hear that? What did your Chalie and his underlings do?! How many Japanese did they kill? Whether they deserve it or not! ” Zhu Erdian felt that he had nothing to say, and asked Shorty: ”Father Chalie, is this true?”

Shorty tensed up and panicked for a moment. He thought to himself, ”Even so, I still know how to hold back. If I wasn't bad at the moment, the Japanese would have found reason. If the minister is silenced, he must hate me. ” Thus, the Shorty raised his head again and denied it flatly, saying, ”Mister Minister, don't listen to their nonsense. They said nothing! They had all planned this out first. When did I kill a Japanese? Now that they've killed us, they're going to sue us first. We can't spare them! ”

Zhu Erdian was unable to differentiate truth from false and did not know what to do. Patrol ran over and reported to Weidong, ”We caught two more people.” Weidong said: ”Bring them here!” A few soldiers brought another two people up. Shorty took a look and pointed at the two: ”They are all from the Ma Wu Inn Shop. They are purely Japanese spies. They killed us so miserably! ” When the Shorty finished, he sat on the ground and cried.

Hioki pointed at the four Japanese people he caught and scolded them: ”You unruly people, come to China and do business as you please, do whatever you want with me. I won't forgive you! ” He then quietly said to Zhu Erdian: ”Don't make a fool of yourself here. The two of us will go back and each of us will first inquire about the situation of our own people. Then we'll come together and negotiate a settlement. What do you think? ”

Zhu Erdian said: ”This is inappropriate. The truth is already clear, and right and wrong are already clear. You can no longer deny that this incident was caused by the Japanese, can't you? Now the witnesses are all with the Chinese government. I believe that China, as a third country, is the most reasonable country to seek justice. Let the Chinese government hear and judge the case. Our two countries respect the results. What do you think? ”

Hioki immediately expressed his opposition, his face darkened, and said: ”No! We don't need others to interfere in our matters. ”If I go back and find out the truth, you'll be the ones who started this. You'll have to bear the brunt of the responsibility.” With that, he ignored Zhu Erdian and instructed the Japanese soldiers: ”Bring the four of them back to me for interrogation.” A group of Japanese soldiers stepped forward, picked up four agents and left.

Sheriff Zheng said: ”Wait! Mr. Hioki, what you are doing is very inappropriate. I condemn your barbarism! If you want to bring someone back, you'll need our permission. The murderer killed and killed so many of our military and police officers, and has disturbed the security of the southern part of the city. You will also have to compensate for the losses of the people. You didn't apologize and brought him back? You will leave the people here for me to negotiate with our government. ”

The Japanese soldiers were still ripping people off. Sheriff Zheng went forward in anger and was about to intercept him. Seeing that the Sheriff Zheng was angry, a large group of ferocious soldiers raised their guns to stop the Sheriff Zheng. The Weidong was also furious, ”What are you doing? Are they using force!? ” He waved his hand. The Chinese military police immediately spread out a large circle, surrounding the Japanese people. Chinese military police are also armed with guns.

Hioki waved his hand, and the Japanese retreated, and said to Sheriff Zheng: ”He is ours, what is there to negotiate with your Government! The Japanese will have to be interrogated by us! ” He also purposely demonstrated, scaring the Japanese soldiers into saying, ”Go to the Guardian Office and bring back all the people that we captured.” The Sheriff Zheng was furious: ”Hioki, I protest against your barbaric actions! We captured the people, you can't take them away! ” Zhu Erdian also said, ”Hioki, you are too unreasonable!”

Hioki said: ”How am I barbaric? Why is he so unreasonable now? I am acting in accordance with diplomatic immunity! ” After saying that, he turned around and got into the car. The Japanese soldiers then took the four men and left.

Zhu Erdian also said to Sheriff Zheng: ”Mr. Zheng, I will be troubling you with the matters at the scene. I'm also going to the Guardian Office to gather our men and interrogate them. ” He also led Shorty and the few envoys to get on the carriage and leave.
