Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2900 Ino’s Death!

Commander Ito's tough attitude made the investigation team feel that the defeat might not be directly related to Commander Ito's command.

So, the head of the investigation team changed the topic and asked, "What do you have to say about the assassination and rescue of Kujo Miyakita? This matter is also taken very seriously by the headquarters."

Commander Ito frowned slightly. He knew that the matter of Kujo Miyakita involved a lot of people and it could cause even bigger troubles if he was not careful.

So he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Kujo Miyakita was assassinated. According to preliminary investigations, it was done by the hawkish Imperial Army. The specific reason is still under investigation. However, Commander Ino, who organized and planned this incident, has been captured. I think it won't be long before we have a definite answer."

A member of the investigation team kept asking, "Besides Ino, who else do you think was involved? Is it possible that someone inside your headquarters was colluding with the enemy?"

Commander Ito's expression suddenly turned ugly. He slammed the table and said angrily, "What do you mean by this? Are you suspecting that I have any collusion with Ino? I am from the Ito family and I have a bright future. Is it necessary for me to get involved in the affairs of the Hawks? Please use your brain when you ask questions!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the head of the investigation team quickly tried to smooth things over, "Commander Ito, please don't get excited. We are just conducting a normal investigation, and I hope you can understand. The current situation is indeed quite complicated, and we need to investigate from all aspects to find the root cause of the problem, right?"

Commander Ito snorted coldly and said, "I understand your duties, but I also hope that you can conduct the investigation rationally. I have already reported the matter of Kujo Miyakita to the family, and the Ito family is also actively communicating with the Kujo family. So you should investigate Ino now, not me. Also, the hawks in the army are really too much. When the battle situation is not favorable to our army, they still use a lot of manpower and material resources to assassinate the eldest son of the Kujo family. If they succeed, do you know what the consequences will be?"

The entire investigation team was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask some combat details, including troop deployment, intelligence collection, command decision-making, etc.

Although Commander Ito was dissatisfied, he still answered them one by one.

After the questioning, Commander Ito walked out of the meeting room tiredly.

Moreover, he knew that the impact of this incident was far from over. If Ino continued to refuse to confess, his own career would probably be greatly affected.

He will always be the one who conspired with Ino, and he will never be able to wash off this stain.

"Damn you Ino, you bastard!"

Commander Ito cursed Ino in his heart, but he didn't know that Ino had already had thoughts of committing suicide at this time.

The dark and damp cell was filled with a smell mixed with stench and blood.

Commander Ino huddled in the corner, his eyes empty and desperate. His military uniform had long been tattered, and the blood oozing from the wound had dried up and was soaked again with new blood.

In the past few days, the faces of his family members kept appearing in his mind, and those warm smiles now pierced his heart like sharp blades.

He knew very well that if he did not confess, his family would be implicated and fall into an irretrievable situation.

With a creak, the door of the cell was slowly pushed open, and a military doctor walked in with a tray.

There were some simple medical instruments and medicines on the tray. The military doctor said expressionlessly, "Commander Ino, let me take a look at your wound. This was deliberately arranged by Lord Kujo. I think you should be grateful."

Commander Ino slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on the scalpel in the tray. The sharp blade flashed coldly in the dim light.

A feeling of determination surged in his heart, and a crazy idea quickly formed in his mind.

He slowly stood up and walked towards the military doctor with heavy steps.

The military doctor thought he was going to cooperate with the treatment, so he placed the tray on the table and began to prepare to treat his wound. However, just as the military doctor turned around to get the medicine, Commander Ino suddenly reached out and snatched the scalpel from the tray.

The military doctor was horrified and was about to shout, but he saw Commander Ino slashing his carotid artery with the scalpel without hesitation.

Blood gushed out instantly, splashing all over the military doctor's face.

The military doctor's eyes widened and he shouted in horror: "Hurry up! Commander Ino committed suicide!"

He rushed forward in panic, trying to press his hand on Commander Ino's wound to stop the blood from flowing, while shouting loudly to the guards outside.

The guards heard the shouting and rushed into the cell.

The military doctor was frantically performing simple first aid measures while directing the guards: "Go and prepare more first aid equipment and medicines!"

However, it was too late. Commander Ino's breathing became weaker and weaker, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

His body trembled slightly and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end only a few weak whimpers came out.

The military doctor performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation desperately, with beads of sweat on his forehead, but Commander Ino's pulse became weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared.

The military doctor slumped on the ground, looking at Commander Ino's gradually cooling body, and shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer.

After learning the news that Commander Ino had committed suicide, Kujo Miyakita rushed over without stopping.

His face was terribly gloomy and he strode into the cell with big strides.

When he saw Commander Ino's lifeless body and the glaring pool of blood on the ground, his anger instantly reached its peak.

Kujo Miyakita's eyes widened with anger, and he roared at the military doctor and the guards: "Useless! A bunch of useless! I finally caught Ino, but you let him die like this!"

The military doctor was so frightened that he trembled and knelt down to explain: "Sir Kujo, it was really a sudden incident. Commander Ino took the scalpel when I was not paying attention and committed suicide. I, I have tried my best to save him,..."

"Try your best? Is this what you mean by try your best?"

Kujo Miyakita kicked the military doctor on the shoulder. The military doctor staggered and fell to the ground, but he did not dare to resist at all. He just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Kujo Miyakita paced back and forth in the cell, the anger in his heart growing stronger and stronger.

He had hoped to learn from Ino how many people were involved in the assassination, as well as a list of the Hawks, so he could settle accounts with them one by one.

But now that Ino was dead, all the clues were cut off. How could he not be angry?
He cursed, "Ino, do you think that if you die, this matter will be over? No, your family will die too, and I will not let any of those hawks go!"

Thinking of this, he said to a guard, "Go, tell the signalman to send a telegram to my father and tell him to catch Ino's family no matter what. Don't let any of them slip through the net!"
