There was a man named En who was a member of the Shenji Battalion, Team Tingzi, of the Eighth Squad, living in Dongniangdian. He was responsible for investigating the Japanese and discovered stolen goods in a pawnshop within the Japanese-occupied area, quickly finding a silver watch that belonged to the staff of the German embassy. When he asked the pawnshop owner, the owner said it had been pawned by a Bannerman named En Hai. En hurriedly reported the situation to the station, and the chief immediately took five constables and a translator to go arrest him. En Hai lived with someone surnamed Hu, and when they arrived at his home, they saw several men and couldn't identify En Hai. So they asked, "Is En Hai home?" Not knowing they were there to arrest him, En Hai casually replied, "I am En Hai." The constables promptly arrested En Hai and took him back to the police station for questioning. En Hai remained remarkably calm and unafraid. A Japanese official asked him, "Did you kill the German embassy staff?" En Hai replied, "Yes. I was following orders from our captain: if we see foreigners on the road, we can kill them directly." We soldiers only follow the captain's orders; we know nothing else. That day, I was walking on the road with dozens of brothers when I happened to see a foreigner being carried in a sedan chair into Dongzhimen. I quickly stepped aside and positioned myself on higher ground to the north, just as I raised my gun to aim at the person inside the sedan chair, the person inside also fired at me. I dodged a shot and immediately returned fire. The gunshot rang out, causing the bearers to drop the sedan chair and flee toward the Prime Minister's office. We quickly ran to the sedan chair and dragged the foreigner out; he was already on the verge of death. I searched him and found a silver watch, which I took. The other handguns, rings, and such were taken by others. I never expected that this watch would lead to my exposure. I would die for killing the enemy and have no regrets; just go ahead and behead me!
The officer asked En, "Did you drink and kill someone in a fit of passion?" En replied, "No. Alcohol can be a good thing. I can usually drink three to five jin without any issue. I didn't drink a drop that day. Do you think I'm lying to hide my guilt? I've been honest my whole life and don't know the first thing about lying!" He said this confidently, showing no fear.
En spent a night in a Japanese jail and was taken to the German embassy for questioning the next day. Finally, on November 10th, he was executed at the site of the German killings.
