Chapter 189: Digging His Own Pit and Jumping In

The two sat on a bench in the park.

Tengyuan Jintai changed into a long shirt, and was chatting closely with an ordinary-looking guy in a mandarin jacket.

Their expressions alternated between stern and smiling.

Finally, there was a photo of them shaking hands and parting.

Looking at the smiles on their lips before they parted.

Obviously, they had discussed a price satisfactory to both sides.

"Where is that guy now?" Yugong Heren pointed at the man in the mandarin jacket.

"He lives in a small courtyard at No. 22 Chuanjiang Road." Chen Yongren said: "I've observed him; he lives alone."

While observing, Chen Yongren, via his scanning eye, learned his name was Songdao Zhen.

But this name definitely couldn't be directly told to Yugong Heren.

Upon hearing this, Yugong Heren's eyes lit up, and he shouted sternly: "Come on, let's go see him right away!"

"Today I will extract all evidence of Tengyuan Jintai's crimes!"

Chen Yongren didn't waste words, immediately taking Yugong Heren to knock on Songdao Zhen's door.

Dang—dang—dang~

"Who's there!"

A tense voice came from inside the courtyard.

Hearing the Japanese inside, Yugong Heren wasn't surprised and gestured for Chen Yongren to keep knocking.

Soon after.

The courtyard gate opened.

Chen Yongren, quick-eyed and quick-footed, kicked the door open.

The person inside, caught off guard, was knocked to the ground by the door, but without hesitation he struggled to get up.

"Chen Sang, grab him quick!" Yugong Heren shouted.

Chen Yongren leapt forward with a kick, knocking him to the ground, pulled out his handcuffs, and cuffed him.

He then turned to Yugong Heren excitedly: "Chief Yugong Heren, we've caught him!"

Yugong Heren closed the door, nodded satisfied: "Chen Sang, bring him inside."

Chen Yongren lowered his head and quickly exchanged a glance with Songdao Zhen.

Afterwards, he said nothing, letting Chen Yongren drag him inside.

"Tell me, who exactly are you?" Yugong Heren sat in a chair, looking at the trembling Songdao Zhen before him.

"This is our Chief Yugong Heren." Chen Yongren said in Japanese.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Songdao Zhen deliberately showed a panicked expression.

"It seems you already know who I am." Yugong Heren didn't bother with words: "Chen Sang, show him the photos we took."

"Yes!" Chen Yongren walked over to Songdao Zhen and took out a few photos.

Looking at the photos in his hand, Songdao Zhen's body trembled slightly, and his upper and lower teeth began to chatter.

Chen Yongren appropriately put the photos away and stood again beside Yugong Heren.

Seeing his frightened expression, Yugong Heren grew more satisfied: "Will you confess yourself, or shall we help you remember?"

Seeing Chen Yongren nod slightly, Songdao Zhen said: "Reporting to Chief Yugong Heren, I am Songdao Zhen, a quartermaster of the Army's 108th Division."

"I just came to Songhu to buy supplies for the division, but I didn't expect to run into a gang riot; afterwards, Chief Tengyuan Jintai found me."

Upon hearing this, Yugong Heren's eyes lit up instantly: "Keep going!"

He then turned to Chen Yongren and instructed: "Chen Sang, remember to take notes!"

"Yes." Chen Yongren replied, taking out a pen and paper.

Songdao Zhen immediately, following the earlier drill, recounted the events in full.

Seeing Songdao Zhen spill so many important clues, Yugong Heren's attitude toward him softened considerably.

He even personally helped Songdao Zhen up, and Chen Yongren captured the moment with a miniature camera.

Yugong Heren, whose mind was wholly on Songdao Zhen, didn't notice at all that he himself was being secretly filmed.

The two chatted happily at the table.

When the conversation grew lively, Yugong Heren even rose to pat Songdao Zhen's shoulder, and the two seemed like old friends who'd known each other for years.

"Excellency Yugong Heren, I've told you all I know; you must guarantee my safety!" Songdao Zhen pleaded.

"No problem." Yugong Heren readily agreed: "But tomorrow you must come with me to identify Tengyuan Jintai."

Upon hearing this, Songdao Zhen hesitated a bit, but seeing Yugong Heren's fierce gaze, he feigned compliance.

"Excellency Yugong Heren, this is the confession; please take a look." Chen Yongren handed over the confession mixed with the contract.

Yugong Heren eagerly took the statement, his smile impossible to suppress.

"With these confessions, Tengyuan Jintai is surely doomed!" Yugong Heren exclaimed: "Chen Sang, give me the pen!"

Chen Yongren handed over the pen.

Yugong Heren, just as Tengyuan Jintai had said, first flipped open a few pages, then at the end merely lifted a corner and quickly signed his full name.

Seeing this.

Chen Yongren couldn't help but think.

The one who knows you best is indeed your enemy.

Tengyuan Jintai actually grasped Yugong Heren's nature so deeply?

If it weren't for the protection of Qichuan Gongxiu, Yugong Heren would probably have been played to death by Tengyuan Jintai long ago.

At this moment.

Yugong Heren also did not know what exactly he had signed.

In his view, the confession he obtained through interrogation must naturally bear his own mark!

"Chen Sang, let him sign his name after he admits guilt!" Yugong Heren looked at Songdao Zhen and said.

Songdao Zhen quickly signed his name.

Seeing Yugong Heren trying to put away the photos and letter, Chen Yongren said: "Chief Official Amamiya, these things had better be temporarily entrusted to me for safekeeping."

Seeing Yugong Heren's brow slightly furrowed.

Chen Yongren again said: "Chief Official, don't misunderstand."

Your humble servant believes that, if Fujiwara Kinta secretly sends people to your house and finds these confessions, then our efforts would be wasted, wouldn't they?

He has lately been thinking about how to drive you away…

"What you say makes sense." After pondering a moment, Yugong Heren nodded and handed the confession and photos together to Chen Yongren.

"Chen Sang, this document is very important; you must keep it safe, and must not let any leaks occur!"

"Yes!" Chen Yongren replied, sitting up straight.

With the confession in hand, there's no need to worry about Songdao Zhen slipping away.

Actually, Songdao Zhen wouldn't slip away either.

Yugong Heren returned home excited, imagining how tomorrow he would blame Fujiwara Kinta in General Tufengyuan's office.

Watching him tremble, begging for mercy and admitting fault…

Thinking and thinking, Yugong Heren fell asleep, a smile spreading across his lips.

After parting ways with Yugong Heren, Chen Yongren immediately headed to Fujiwara Kinta's office,

"Director Fujiwara, you truly are prophetic—that guy Yugong Heren has indeed fallen for the trap!"

"He didn't even look at what was on the back, and just obediently signed his own name."

Saying this, Chen Yongren pulled out a miniature camera and said: "This is a secretly taken photo of Yugong Heren."

"Yo, Chen Sang, I knew it—I trusted you were right!" Fujiwara Kinta nodded satisfactorily.

Thereafter he threw the photos of himself and Songdao Zhen on the desk, as well as Songdao Zhen's confession, all into the steel trash can.

He picked up the matches on the desk, lit them, and tossed them into the trash can.

The leaping flames reflected on Fujiwara Kinta's face.

"Chen Sang, I'm really looking forward to seeing Yugong Heren's wonderful expression tomorrow." Fujiwara Kinta said with a sinister smile.
