"Oh? Mr. Zhang, what happened?" Zhou Ke felt that what Zhang Xu said was most likely what he wanted to ask, so he simply let Zhang Xu speak first.

"Taijun, someone from the Mei Agency came to our place last night to look up information, and this afternoon someone was arrested in my jurisdiction..."

Zhang Xu told them everything he knew, especially that the Mei Agency not only did not ask them for cooperation in arresting people this time, but did not even ask them to clear the name.

"Do you know who was arrested and how many people were taken away?" Zhou Ke continued to ask.

"According to the reports from the patrolling men, the people from the Mei Agency searched a total of eight places. The only place where they arrested people should be the sealed-off one. Here is the specific information." Zhang Xu said as he handed Zhou Ke a document that had been prepared long ago.

After a quick look through it, Zhou Ke miraculously found information about Qi Xiaoxing's alias Qingshui Lizi.

But the information from the telegraph operator of their Crossing the River Group was not on this list, but the eight locations searched did include the safe house he provided to Lao Sun.

"I was wondering why you were looking for me so anxiously. It turns out that the family in trouble is overseas Chinese." Zhou Ke looked through the information between Shimizu Reiko and her family and understood instantly.

"Yes, Majesty. There are many merchants in our jurisdiction, especially your fellow townsmen. So if it involves them, I think it would be better to inform you as soon as possible."

Zhang Xu was relieved when he saw that his wife understood what he meant. The arrest of overseas Chinese was not something he, as the chief of a police station, could get involved in. It would be better for him to hand the case over to his superiors as soon as possible.

"You did a good job. I will take over the following matters." After Zhou Ke finished speaking, he used Zhang Xu's office phone to call his own brigade headquarters.

The person who answered the phone was Yokoyama Isamu. After learning from Yokoyama Isamu that he had not received any cooperation notice from the Mei agency while he was out on a case, Zhou Ke left the police station and went to Meihuatang with his men in a rage.

"Mr. Matsuda, have the people from the Mantetsu Railway provoked you again? Don't worry, I'm on duty today, and I'll support you no matter what!" An advisor from the Navy Department greeted Zhou Ke.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Mitsui. However, I didn't necessarily come here to look for Mantetsu today..." Zhou Ke briefly recounted what had happened.

"Matsuda-kun, you're looking for the Mantetsu guys! These guys really have no rules at all. They come to your territory to arrest people without even saying hello to you!"

"But Matsuda-kun, this is not going to be easy for you! As far as I know, they were assigned by the Sengoku Consultant. Now it seems that there is a problem with the Sengoku Consultant, right?"

Although Mitsui, the Navy Department's consultant, did not know what Hisamitsu Sengoku had done specifically, he still knew something about what happened in the hospital.

"Oh, it seems that it is related to that incident again. Consultant Xianshi has probably gone to see Amaterasu..." Zhou Ke told Consultant Mitsui what happened in the hospital.

"Matsuda-kun, I can't help you much with the investigation, but I do know where the group of people from the Mantetsu you're looking for are."

After saying that, consultant Mitsui took out a pen and a notepad and wrote three addresses on them for Zhou Ke.

"These are roughly these three places. Mr. Matsuda, if you catch someone, remember to leave some breath, otherwise it will be troublesome for us to explain to the higher-ups." Consultant Mitsui handed the addresses to Zhou Ke.

"Thank you, Senior Mitsui!" Zhou Ke thanked him sincerely.

The person gave him the address before he even asked. This person was really helpful. I will definitely give him some advice when I have the chance in the future.

"Mr. Matsuda, I say the same thing again. If you need help from the navy, just give us a call. The brave marines and their powerful ships and cannons are ready to lead the way for you at any time!"

Consultant Mitsui looked at Zhou Ke with a firm gaze. At this moment, he looked at Zhou Ke as if he was looking at the future heir of the family.

Kenji Tanegashima and several followers who were not from the Matsuda family and were relatively close to Zhou Ke, unconsciously tightened their knives and guns in their hands after hearing what Advisor Mitsui said.

It seems that their boss has a very strong relationship with the Navy! However, they believe that Zhou Ke has loyal and reliable subordinates like them, so there should be no need to trouble the Navy Department for any problems.

Forty minutes later, a team of military police broke into a hotel near the pier. Without waiting for the owner to inquire about the situation, the military police took control of everyone, including the guests staying in the hotel.

Of course, those under control included the Manchurian Railway members who went out to arrest Shimizu Reiko's family of five, as well as Qi Xiaoxing and others.

"Ah~"

"Ugh~"

"Don't shout out loud. I told you to speak but you didn't. Now stop shouting in front of me!" A military police officer in charge of the interrogation was hanging up and beating those people from the Mantetsu.

"Why were you arrested? Do you know it clearly?" No. 3, dressed as a gendarmerie officer, ignored the noise from the other end of the room and asked Qi Xiaoxing and others who were a little at a loss with a pen and paper.

"We didn't know either. He was arrested at home today!" said Qi Xiaoxing's 'grandmother', speaking very standard Japanese.

"It looks like they're just arresting people randomly?" Number Three wrote and drew on the notebook.

"Sir, we don't know the details. Our family was having dinner when they suddenly rushed into the house and arrested us all!" The old woman explained with gestures, trying to describe the scene.

"Old man, there's no need to be so specific. Just tell me whether you have suffered any financial losses?" Number Three asked in a businesslike manner.

"Of course, sir, you don't know, two of our cabinets are broken, and the doors are probably broken as well..." The old woman casually listed a lot of losses.

"We have understood your situation. We will give these thugs due punishment, but you will have to bear the financial losses yourselves!" No. 3 said as he closed the notebook.

"Sir, you look like an upright official. So you won't compensate for the losses of these people? And..." The old woman seemed confused and started chattering.

"Sir, we accept your verdict. Thank you for rescuing our family!"

Qi Xiaoxing's 'brother' and 'father' stopped the old woman and kept thanking No. 3 in fluent Japanese.

Soon, with the screams of the Manchurian Railway members, the family of five left the hotel without exception.

..........

"We escaped a disaster today! If no one is watching us, we will move immediately! Plum Blossom Ten, I will report your merits and demerits this time!" As soon as she got home, the originally confused Qi Xiaoxing's 'grandmother' seemed to have become a different person.

"Fortunately, the military police and the Mantetsu are at odds, and these military police are rather careless, otherwise it would be difficult for us to escape." Qi Xiaoxing's 'father' looked terrified.

"No matter what, the mission is not perfect, but it has been completed. We can't stay in Shanghai anymore!"
