Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3047 He was arrested as soon as he got back!
As soon as Li Ru and Miss Huizi stepped into the hospital, they were surrounded by several Japanese spies, who dragged him towards the Japanese hospital director's office without saying a word.

Miss Keiko was both shocked and furious, and shouted at them from behind, but the Japanese spies completely ignored her.

Upon arriving at the office, Li Ru immediately spotted Uchida sitting in a chair with a gloomy expression.

At that moment, Uchida also saw Li Ru and immediately ordered, "Take Li Ru away from me!"

Upon seeing this, the Japanese dean's face instantly turned ashen. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and demanded, "Mr. Uchida, what are you trying to do?"

Huizi rushed forward, shoving the Japanese agents while angrily saying, "You are so rude! What right do you have to arrest Li-san!"

Uchida remained unmoved, coldly looking at Li Ru, and said, "He's the one who treated Yingzi, and Yingzi still hasn't woken up. Moreover, he's tried to leave the hospital several times. I now suspect he's also a rebel and need to be taken back for investigation."

The Japanese hospital director, enraged, laughed and retorted, "Is this the crime you're talking about? If we follow your logic, then in this hospital, if there's an Imperial Army soldier who can't be cured, I, the director, am guilty?"

Uchida's eyes widened, and he retorted loudly, "Then what about his repeated attempts to leave? As a Chinese person, knowing such confidential information, and still trying to leave time and again—that's the best proof!"

The Japanese dean was trembling with rage and roared:
"What do you mean by 'several times'? There were only two times in total, and both times it was approved by me, the dean. Do you still suspect that I am a rebel?"

Mr. Uchida, you are being utterly rude.

Before you arrived, everything was fine at this hospital.

Do you know how many Imperial Army soldiers Dr. Li cured? How could someone like him be a rebel?

Uchida felt a little uneasy after being yelled at by the dean, and his momentum weakened somewhat. Actually, he only called Li Ru a spy because his subordinates reported that Li Ru had tried to leave several times and had spent a long time alone in Shadow's room.

He decided to take the wrong person back for questioning because he adhered to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," but he did not expect to encounter such strong resistance from the dean.

But Uchida, being a veteran agent, quickly regained his composure and argued, "Director, you don't need to defend him. These are extraordinary times, and everything must prioritize the interests of the Imperial Army. If I suspect him, I have the right to take him back for investigation. If he is innocent, I will naturally release him."

The Japanese hospital director snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Uchida, you make it sound so easy. If you take him away and something happens to him there, who will be responsible? Moreover, what will the other doctors in the hospital think? How can they work for the Imperial Army with peace of mind in the future?"

Uchida frowned and said, "Dean, are you threatening me? Let me tell you, I, Uchida, am not easily intimidated. Today, I will take him away."

Just then, Miss Keiko suddenly rushed to Uchida and pleaded, "Lord Uchida, I beg you, don't arrest Mr. Lee. He is truly a good man, he has never done anything to betray the Imperial Army. If you don't believe me, I can testify for him."

Uchida looked at Ms. Keiko, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Miss Huizi was the dean's darling, and if he angered her, the dean would definitely fight him to the death.

But remembering the gravity of his mission, he hardened his heart and said, "Miss Keiko, this isn't just a personal matter; it concerns the safety of the Imperial Army. I can't abandon the investigation just because of your words." Seeing Uchida's stubbornness, the Japanese director knew further persuasion would be futile.

He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Uchida, since you insist on taking Dr. Li away, I won't stop you. However, I want to go with you. I want to see you with my own eyes and make sure he doesn't get hurt in any way."

Uchida hadn't expected the dean to make such a request. He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Alright, Dean, you can come with me. However, you must abide by our rules and not interfere with our investigation."

The Japanese hospital director snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your investigation. However, if Dr. Li is treated unfairly in any way, I will absolutely not let it go."

After saying that, the Japanese hospital director turned to Miss Keiko and said, "Keiko, stay in the hospital and don't wander around. Your father will be right back."

Miss Huizi nodded through her tears and said, "Father, you must bring Li Sang back."

The Japanese dean patted Miss Keiko on the shoulder, then followed Uchida and several agents, escorting Li Ru out of the office.

Uchida originally planned to take Li Ru to the hotel where they were staying for a thorough interrogation, but the dean followed them the whole time. As a result, even if they got to the hotel, they would not be able to torture Li Ru to extract a confession.

Moreover, Yingzi remains unconscious, and Li Ru cannot leave the hospital for an extended period of time.

So Uchida simply instructed the agent beside him, "Go, find a suitable room in the hospital, and we'll interrogate him nearby."

The agent took the order and left. He returned shortly afterward to report that he had found an unused storage room that could be used after a little cleaning.

Uchida led the group to the storage room, where several agents quickly cleared out the clutter and moved some old chairs to a corner.

Uchida sat imposingly in the chair behind the interrogation table, his gaze fixed on Li Ru like that of a hawk.

The Japanese dean stood to the side, his face grim, saying nothing, just watching quietly.

Uchida ignored him and asked directly, "Li Ru, now I'm asking you, why were you alone in Shadow's room last night? Did you send the nurse away from the room? And you also communicated with Shadow, what exactly did you talk about? Tell me the truth!"

Faced with Uchida's questioning, Li Ru remained calm and met Uchida's gaze with composure, saying, "Let me state this beforehand: as a doctor, wouldn't it be abnormal if I weren't by my patient's side? Besides, this is the first time I've heard of the name 'Shadow' you mentioned. I don't know her name."

As for the nurse who was on duty last night, I replaced her because she fell asleep while working. I was worried that something might happen to the shadow in the middle of the night, and the nurse might not notice it in time, so I let her rest for two hours.

Also, when I called out to the unconscious Shadow, the Imperial Army saw me. He also thought I was talking to Shadow. But the truth is, Shadow was unconscious at the time, and I was just trying to wake her up, nothing more.

And the two Imperial Army soldiers at the time confirmed my words, saying, "If you don't believe me, bring those two men here, and we'll confront each other!"
