"These Japanese are becoming more and more unscrupulous. Big Boss, you have to bring a few more brothers when you go out recently, so we have to be on guard against the Japanese."

...

In the hospital, Chen Qiang had woken up. The shot did not hit Chen Qiang's vital point, but he just penetrated a hole in his arm and did not hurt his muscles. The doctor immediately performed surgery on Chen Qiang and took out the shrapnel, which would not take long to recover.

Sheriff Peter also came here in person to record Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiangyi described the shooting process, but the content was similar to the information that Sheriff Pete had and was of no help in solving the case.

Sheriff Peter asked: "Mr. Chen, according to the witnesses' introduction, the gunman is a Chinese. Do you have any conflicts with the Chinese community in New York?"

"Impossible, the person who shot me was definitely not from the Chinese community in New York." Chen Qiang immediately denied: "I have known Mr. Situ for many years, and he regards me as a junior, so the Chinese community will never cause trouble for me."

"Can they be other Chinese?" Sheriff Pete asked.

"Impossible." Chen Qiang shook his head and then continued: "Sir Peter, you should know that I won more than a dozen gold medals for my motherland at the Olympics. It is no exaggeration to say that I am the best athlete in China. I have won a lot of honors for China. It is impossible for Chinese people to shoot me. Let's talk about it from another perspective, as an American, will you shoot at the best athlete in the United States? Will you shoot an athlete who has won countless honors for the United States?"

"Mr. Chen, what you said makes sense." Pi Te nodded. He followed Chen Qiang's ideas and thought that this is true. If an American athlete can win more than a dozen gold medals in the Olympics and break more than a dozen world records, then every American will regard him as an American hero. People will only worship heroes, and no one will shoot at heroes in their own country.

"But the witness said that the gunman who shot you was a Chinese. Mr. Chen, this was obviously a murder against you, but you were lucky. The gunman did not hit you, so I hope you should think carefully about whether you have made enemies with anyone recently." Peter said.

Chen Qiang pretended to be contemplative, and then he said, "If you want to make enemies, there is really someone. Three days ago, there was indeed someone who once threatened me."

"Who is it?" Director Pete asked immediately.

"That person was sent by the Japanese, named Cao Yuebo. You know, my country is fighting with the Japanese, and Cao Yuebo is here to persuade me to surrender to Japan. Of course, I did not agree to him, and he threatened me at that time." Chen Qiang said.

"Three days ago? When was the exact time? Who was there at that time?" Sheriff Pete seemed to have caught a clue.

"It was around five o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, the coaches in my gym were there. They should have heard Cao Yuebo threatening me. By the way, Mr. Anthony, the owner of Anthony Liquor Company, was also on the scene at the time, so he could also testify." Chen Qiang said.

Sheriff Pete nodded. He also knew that Anthony was a well-known businessman in New York, and Anthony was not a coach hired by Chen Qiang, and had no interest in Chen Qiang. If Anthony could prove that Chen Qiang had been threatened, it would be enough to prove that what Chen Qiang said was true.

...

That afternoon, Sheriff Pete found Anthony, who sold whiskey.

"Yes, three days ago, I did see someone threatening Mr. Chen. I heard it with my own ears and I can testify!"

"That person was sent by Japan to persuade Mr. Chen to surrender to Japan. Mr. Chen refused to agree, so the two started a fierce quarrel. The man also threatened Mr. Chen!"

"I was there at the scene, by the way, there are other people on the scene, and I should have heard it. If you need it, I can tell you their names."

Anthony swore a confession to Sheriff Pete.

In fact, the conversation between Chen Qiang and Cao Yuebo used to be in Chinese before, and Anthony couldn't understand Chinese, so he didn't know what the two talked about.

But later, Chen Qiang said in English, "Are you threatening me?" and his voice was very loud, but Anthony heard it clearly. Moreover, this sentence attracted Anthony's attention. Later, Cao Yuebo replied in English, "This is a threat." Anthony also heard it.

So Anthony believed that the two had a quarrel, and then Cao Yuebo was threatening Chen Qiang. Later, Chen Qiang deliberately explained it, which made Anthony think about the situation at that time.

After listening to Anthony's confession, Sheriff Pitt had guessed the story of the case.

"No wonder the witnesses said that the gunman was a Chinese. It turned out that he regarded the Japanese gunman as a Chinese. After all, the Chinese and Japanese look the same, so it is normal for them to admit their mistakes."

"I think the case is like this. The Japanese went to persuade Chen Qiang to surrender, but Chen Qiang refused. Then the Japanese were so angry that they sent a gunman. Maybe Chen Qiang was lucky and was not hit by the vitals, or maybe the Japanese didn't want Chen Qiang's life, just wanted to teach Chen Qiang a lesson, so they hit Chen Qiang in the arm. But no matter what the situation is, the case is solved!"
