Chapter 227 Investigation of the Japanese Army Headquarters

At night, at the headquarters of the Central China Front Army in Nanjing, Hasegawa explained to a lieutenant in a courtyard corridor.

"Youqijun, all the priests in Nanjing have been found. Next, you must check it carefully and don't recognize the wrong person."

Because Hasegawa can speak English and has good abilities. He is also among the senior officers, the investigation of the "Demon Priest in Black" fell on him.

He started directly from the clue of the black priest suit and directly captured all the priests in Nanjing who were wearing priest suits.

Hasegawa felt that no matter whether the man was a priest or not, the priest suit on his body must have something to do with the church. As long as he starts from this point of view, he will definitely find clues. Moreover, he has a witness here, and he is lucky and may be able to find the murderer directly.

Now that the Japanese army has completely occupied Nanjing City, no one can control his arrogance. But last night, a "demon priest in black" suddenly appeared, killing 256 Japanese soldiers.

This made the Japanese army look down upon, and the incident even hit the Japanese command headquarters. The top Japanese army was furious and determined not to give up until they found that person.

Hasegawa was ordered to investigate the matter, so of course he had to do his best. If he didn't do the job well, it would have an impact on his future. So now he has no longer cared about the fact that the priests are Americans, so he arrested them all directly.

Yuki Takakura nodded quickly and replied.

"Yes! I will do my best!"

Hasegawa shook his head slightly and said to Takakura Yuki in a ruthless manner.

"You are wrong, not trying your best, but you must find that person. These priests are basically Americans. We have brought all the priests over under tremendous pressure. If you cannot find that person smoothly, you will bear all the responsibilities."

"But if you can find that person, the military will not hesitate to reward you."

As the saying goes, there is some motivation when you have pressure. In order to make your subordinates do your best, he can only use both soft and hard, hoping that Yuki Takakura will not disappoint him.

Yuki Takakura looked at Hasegawa with a look of surprise, and then nodded immediately and responded in a deep voice.

"……yes!"

Hasegawa waved his hand to Yuki Takakura and said.

"Then you go."

Yuki Takakura nodded and walked inward with a serious face.

In the back hall of the courtyard, Zhou Xuan and several priests were sitting in the rest. After the Japanese brought them over, they did not make any difficulties. They just asked them to stay in the back hall and did not allow them to leave without authorization.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit dull, and no one knew what was going on with the Japanese suddenly forcibly called them over. They were all doing their own things, praying, reading books, or whispering to the people around them. Only Zhou Xuan was silently closing his eyes and thinking about countermeasures.

Albert Bury was bored and shouted to Zhou Xuan beside him in English.

"Hey, hello."

Zhou Xuan opened his eyes after hearing the sound, then nodded politely to Albert Bury and responded with a smile.

"Hello."

He knew that these priests were also implicated by him, but they couldn't take care of so many. Now there are guard posts everywhere, so it's quite difficult to get out. Just talking about this yard, there are also heavy troops to guard it, which is really a three-step, one post, five-step one post.

Albert Bury smiled at Zhou Xuan and introduced himself.

"I am a priest from Hanzhongtang in Nanjing, and my name is Albert Bury."

Zhou Xuan looked at Albert Bury at age about forty. The other priests looked around fifty years old, no wonder Albert Bury chose to talk to him. He looks similar to Albert Bury now, but he is a middle-aged man.

Zhou Xuan smiled and responded to Albert Bury.

"Hello, my name is John Miller, from Vinchester Church."

Albert Bury was slightly stunned, then frowned and asked in confusion.

"Hmm? Vinchester Church? Isn't Vinchester Church the original presidency of Father Ingman?"

I am actually quite familiar with the church in Nanjing. Although the Hanzhong Hall in Nanjing has just been rebuilt, it is also among the five major cathedrals in Nanjing and the Ventester Church. Naturally, there is some connection between them, but they don’t have frequent contacts.

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning. Then he shook his head slightly and sighed and explained.

"Oh...you also know that Nanjing City has been in chaos recently. Father Ingman flew away because of an accident."

Albert Bury immediately understood what Zhou Xuan meant and sighed.

"So that's the case, that's a pity. Amen, may he have no suffering in heaven."

Just as Zhou Xuan and the others were still chatting, Yuki Takakura came. He stood outside the door and watched for a while, then asked the soldiers waiting at the door.

"Are these just the ones?"

The soldier standing guard at the door immediately lowered his head and responded.

"Yes."

Yuki Takakura did not ask any more questions, but started to take a closer look. He looked at the priests and secretly looked at them. But after watching for a long time, he still saw some clues.

It was too dark last night, and he was too far away from the murderer. He didn't see anything clearly at all. He tried his best to be able to see the priest suit. Now he was still asking him to find the person. Isn't this a tough guy? He doesn't know whether there is that person here, so how could he recognize that person?

Just when Takakura Yuki was struggling, Hasegawa came over and asked him.

"Have you found anything?"

Takakura Yuki said with a serious face.

"...Yes, I saw a very familiar back."

Hasegawa raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look inside and asked.

"Is that? Which?"

Takakura Yuki raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Xuan and said.

"that!"

Hasegawa waved directly to the soldiers at the door and shouted.

"Go and catch that man."

The two soldiers standing at the door immediately lowered their heads and responded.

"yes."

"Hey! What are you doing! Why are you arresting me! I want to accuse you!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"Nothing, we're just doing what we should do. Shouldn't he be punished for killing more than a hundred of our soldiers last night?"

"What evidence do you have!"

"He is the witness."

"My God, can you just find someone to be a witness? Let Miles be released quickly, otherwise I will report your crimes to the Holy See."

"Sorry, this is the order from my superiors, and I have no choice. Let the priests go down and rest first, and wait until they figure it out before letting them go."

"yes."

Zhou Xuan and the others were separated and closed, but they were not locked up in prison. Because this place was just a temporary military headquarters and there were no prisons. There were a lot of empty houses, so they were locked up each one by one.
