Chapter 597 A word about life and death
Mailan District.
Li Hao was sitting in the car without taking out the car key, which ensured that he could start the car at any time.
His fingers tapped on the steering wheel irregularly, and he observed the surrounding situation vigilantly.
I saw two people approaching from a distance, they were Qiao Chuntao and Hao Zai.
The two did not walk together, but several meters apart.
One person opens the right passenger door, and another person opens the left rear door and gets in.
“This is the ticket for tonight.” Hao Zai entered the co-pilot room. He took out the ticket and handed it to Li Hao.
Li Hao took the ticket, checked it and put it in his pocket. He looked at Hao Zai and asked, "How did you arrange it?"
“I will personally lead a group of brothers to the Super High School Residency and rescue the team leader at all costs.” Hao Zai said.
“I’ll go.” Qiao Chuntao, who was sitting in the back seat, said.
“I’ll go.” Hao Zai shook his head and said firmly.
“You are not suitable.” Qiao Chuntao emphasized again.
Hao Zai turned his head and glared at each other, "I don't worry about others going."
"It's not appropriate for you to go." Qiao Chuntao's tone was calm. When he saw that Hao Zai was still arguing, his expression became serious, "The team leader has given orders first. In an emergency, I will take command."
Hao Zai stared at Qiao Chuntao.
Qiao Chuntao just looked at him.
Two people, one glared at each other, and the other looked at each other coldly.
…
"You have a close relationship with the team leader. If the team leader is lucky enough to pass the test, your appearance with someone will arouse the suspicion of the Japanese." Qiao Chuntao said.
“I’m different.” He looked at Hao Zai, “Also, have you thought about how to rescue him?”
"You want to force your way in?" Qiao Chuntao didn't wait for Hao Zai to answer, and snorted coldly, "That's going to kill you!"
“I’m not afraid of death.” Hao Zai growled.
"Your life and mine are worthless, our goal is to rescue the team leader." Qiao Chuntao said, he looked at Li Hao, "I already have a preliminary plan."
“Say.” Li Hao said.
In Li Hao's heart, he trusted Hao Zai's loyalty to Brother Fan more, but he also knew that Qiao Chuntao was more capable.
"I have informed Wu Shunjia that he will bring explosives to join us." Qiao Chuntao's expression was grim, "Jiang Mulezi will also bring a team of people over."
“What are the specific plans?”
“Create chaos and take the opportunity to rescue the team leader, but the hope is not great.” Qiao Chuntao said.
He looked at the two of them, "Don't look at me like that, this is the truth."
He took out a Browning short gun from his body and checked the gun carefully, "I will do everything possible to rescue, but..."
He paused for a moment, glanced out of the car window, and then looked back, before continuing, "If the team leader dies for his country, many Japanese will be buried with him."
…
“Where are the young Taoist priest’s men and horses?” Hao Zai, who had been silent, asked.
"The little Taoist priests can't move, they have other tasks." Qiao Chuntao said.
“What’s more important than rescuing Brother Fan (team leader)?” Li Hao and Hao Zai asked in unison.
"Foundation!" Qiao Chuntao faced the two men's questions and remained silent for a moment before saying, "The anti-Japanese foundation that the team leader led us to build in Shanghai cannot be lost! This is the team leader's hard work!"
Li Hao and Hao Zai looked at Qiao Chuntao angrily. For a while, Li Hao clasped his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Taozi, Brother Fan's safety, please!"
"When the team leader lives, I will live. If the team leader dies, I will also die for the country." Qiao Chuntao said lightly.
Hearing what he said, Hao Zai nodded.
"Hao Zai, take a few people with you to secretly protect your sister-in-law and Xiaobao." Qiao Chuntao looked at Hao Zai, "There is one thing you must pay attention to."
"you say."
“Unless my sister-in-law is in danger and needs to take action, you must not let your brothers know the purpose of your trip.” Qiao Chuntao said with a serious expression.
"Keep it a secret." Hao Zai nodded, "I know what to do."
…
"The yellow cat is big and the mouse is small; the yellow cat barks and the mouse runs..." Xiaobao hummed a nursery rhyme.
Bai Ruolan was helping Xiaobao braid her hair. She lowered her head and was very careful.
Li Hao opened the door and came in, "Sister-in-law, the boat ticket has been bought."
Bai Ruolan nodded, looking behind Li Hao. When she saw Li Hao closing the door, a trace of worry and loss flashed in Bai Ruolan's eyes.
“Let’s go to Hong Kong by boat first,” Li Hao continued, “and then find a way to go to Chongqing from Hong Kong.”
Bai Ruolan didn't raise her head, still focused on tying Xiaobao's hair, and asked softly, "When is the ferry ticket?"
“It’s seven o’clock tonight.” Li Hao said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, the place we stay is very safe.”
“How many tickets are there?” Bai Ruolan asked again.
“Four, sister-in-law, Xiaobao, and me.” Li Hao paused and continued, “And Brother Fan.”
Bai Ruolan raised her head, with a smile on her face and a determined look in her beautiful eyes, "Okay, I'll wait for him."
…
Special higher education courses.
Sanbonjiro raised the wine cup in his hand and said, "Nagatomo-kun, congratulations that the great work is about to be completed. Please drink this cup to the full."
Changyou Cunnan picked up the wine cup, drank half of the glass, put down the wine glass, and shook his head slightly.
"Nagatomo-kun, what is this?" Sanbonjiro asked with a look of surprise, "But something happened again on Fu Xiaoqian's side?"
"This old Chinese dog is cunning." Changyou Cunnan said with a gloomy face, "He has been bargaining."
As he said that, he snorted coldly, "If there is really no other suitable candidate, how could he be allowed to make further progress?"
"Nagatomo-kun, there is no need to worry." Sanbonjiro smiled slightly, "Fu Xiaowan is good at specialization and likes small profits. However, this person only dares to bargain on some trivial details. He does not dare to offend the empire."
"This is natural." Changyou Cunnan nodded arrogantly, "I have seen through this old Chinese dog a long time ago."
He sneered, "Although it's just a small profit, you can't give it easily, otherwise this person may get worse in the future."
“It turns out that everything is under the control of Nagatomo-kun.” Sanbonjiro laughed loudly. Seeing the proud expression on Nagatomo-kun’s face, he raised his glass and said, “Cheers to Nagatomo-kun for his strategizing!”
The two clinked glasses, and this time Nagatomo Cunnan drank the wine in one gulp.
…
Fu Xiaolu is from Zhenhai, Zhejiang Province.
This man is good at business. In his early years, he relied on currying favor with the late Qing Dynasty dignitaries, such as Madam Ru, who built a prosperous building. He was adopted as his adopted son, and he made a fortune through this, and eventually became a prominent figure in Shanghai.
Later, he joined the Zhili clique warlord Sun Chuanfang and participated in suppressing the Shanghai workers’ armed uprising and resisting the Nationalist Government’s Northern Expedition.
This person was wanted by the Wuhan National Government and the Nanjing National Government, and was a politically frustrated element in Shanghai.
However, this person is old and has considerable influence.
After the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, in order to maintain order, they urgently needed to find an agent to "use China to control China."
For the current mayor of the Avenue Municipal Government, Su Wenxi, the senior management of the Japanese army is not satisfied, and the cover is insufficient in both influence and ability.
In this case, Fu Xiaoyu, a well-known and capable person with deep connections and influence among senior people in Shanghai, was recommended to Kenji Doihara.
Nagatomo Tsunau was assigned by Doihara Kenji during his trip to Shanghai to be responsible for recruiting Fu Xiaoyu to "come out".
Although this man was over sixty years old, he was in good health and had a strong desire for power. As soon as the Japanese side attracted him, Fu Xiaoqian decisively surrendered and expressed his willingness to serve the Japanese Empire wholeheartedly.
However, after later learning that he was the only suitable candidate from Japan in Shanghai, this person kept saying that "to fulfill someone's lifelong wish is to serve the Empire of Japan," he bargained with Nagatomo Akio. Claim more rights.
For example, Fu Xiaoquan insisted on canceling the title of ‘Da Dao Municipal Government’ and still calling it the Shanghai Special Municipal Government.
In addition, all personnel arrangements for the new Shanghai Special Municipal Government must be determined by himself, etc.
…
“In fact, I know very well that these demands of Fu Xiaoqian are not actually bargaining with the empire, but are actually aimed at Su Wenxi.” Changyou Cunnan took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
“If the empire throws a bone at these Chinese people, they will bite it,” Mimotojiro said with a smile.
"That's right." Nagatomo Cunnan laughed, "It's a lot of fun to watch them bite."
At this moment, a car horn sounded in the yard downstairs.
Sanbonjiro looked into the courtyard, smiled at Nagatomo, and said, "Nagatomo-kun, your student is here."
“I actually only taught him for a short period of time.” Nagatomo Cunnan shook his head and said.
“Those are also teachers and students.” Sanbonjiro nodded and said.
…
The car drove into the courtyard of the Special Higher Education Course.
“Miyazaki-kun, please.” Araki Harima said with a smile, “Miyazaki-kun will soon meet his old acquaintance from home. It’s really enviable.”
Cheng Qianfan immediately understood the hidden meaning of Araki Harima's words.
This distinguished guest has an extraordinary status, and Araki Harima is envious of him for having such an old acquaintance in a high position.
He smiled slightly and said, "Araki-kun, you are also an old acquaintance of mine."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
The two were chatting and laughing, walking side by side.
At this time, Cheng Qianfan saw a figure entering the toilet in the corner of the yard.
His heart moved, "Araki-kun, I'm going to make a convenience."
As he spoke, he pointed to the toilet covertly.
“You’re about to meet the commander, Miyazaki-kun, you must be nervous.” Araki Harima joked, “I understand, I understand.”
Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly, shook his head, and walked towards the toilet with a default expression that the other party had seen through.
Cheng Qianfan had already observed the defense situation of the Super High School Station. On the third floor, he discovered that there were two secret shooting positions. They were monitoring the courtyard at all times. The shooting position was from a high position and had an unobstructed view. He wanted to climb over the wall from the toilet Escape, there is no way to avoid shooting.
In addition, the courtyard wall is very high, and there are iron nails on the top to prevent thieves. It is basically impossible to climb over without using tools or running.
The person who entered the toilet just now was most likely Xiaochi from the back.
This is the reason why Cheng Qianfan said he wanted to go to the toilet.
Compared to Araki Harima, who has a strong sense of confidentiality and is cunning, the money-hungry driver Koike is obviously easier to deal with.
Part of the information Cheng Qianfan obtained from within the Special Higher Education Course was obtained (analyzed) from Xiaochi's gossip.
…
In addition, Araki Harima’s unintentional remark just now aroused Cheng Qianfan’s great concern.
Sir?
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved.
This mysterious guest is a senior officer of the secret service, so Araki Harima calls him that?
Or is it that Araki Harima said this from the perspective of Kentaro Miyazaki, meaning that this person was once the commander of Kentaro Miyazaki?
Not a teacher?
Cheng Qianfan just speculated on his way here that this mysterious guest might be Kentaro Miyazaki’s university teacher, so he made a desperate attempt:
That is to call the person a teacher directly without his surname.
If this person is really Kentaro Miyazaki’s teacher, he may be able to get away with it in a short time.
However, Cheng Qianfan speculated in his heart that the probability of such behavior passing the test was less than 10%.
Because since we are ‘old acquaintances’, we will probably chat about old things.
Just saying "teacher" is not enough to deal with the past, and exposure is almost an inevitable result.
And now, Araki Harima's words "sir" made Cheng Qianfan even more confused.
…
“Xiaochi-kun.” Cheng Qianfan unbuttoned his belt to urinate, turned to look at Xiaochi who was squatting in the pit, and said hello.
“Miyazaki-kun, why are you here today?” Koike asked in surprise.
"The section chief was entertaining distinguished guests and suddenly called me to accompany him." Cheng Qianfan fastened his belt and said with a reserved but unconcealed sense of pride, "I only said that the distinguished guest is an old acquaintance of mine. I was blinded." , I can’t even remember who it is.”
“That’s it.” Koike showed an envious expression, “It turns out that gentleman is an old acquaintance of Miyazaki-kun.”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and showed an expression of envy and a hint of jealousy. "The section principal is very close to this gentleman. Miyazaki-kun actually knows this gentleman. I want to congratulate Miyazaki-kun in advance."
"What's there to congratulate?" Cheng Qianfan pretended to be reserved, "Is it possible that I can still get promoted and make a fortune?"
He said with a smile, "If I get rich, I will definitely take Mr. Xiaoike with me."
Hearing this, Koike's jealousy faded away, leaving only envy and joy, "Miyazaki-kun, is this true?"
"You and I are good friends. When have I ever deceived you?" Cheng Qianfan pretended to be angry.
"I said the wrong thing." Xiaochi quickly apologized.
Cheng Qianfan was anxious. He knew he couldn't stay in the toilet for long. He shook his head and murmured, "Araki-kun didn't tell me, so I can't figure out who the distinguished guest is."
Just when he was about to step out of the toilet, Xiaochi spoke.
"I don't know who this gentleman is, but you know, Miyazaki-kun." Koike said.
“What do I know?” Cheng Qianfan stopped and asked in confusion.
"You even gave this gentleman a nickname." Koike said while wiping his butt. He glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki with a look of surprise, "I heard the section chief chatting with this gentleman and said this .”
As he spoke, he lifted up his pants and said with a smile, "So the student who nicknamed the teacher is you, Miyazaki-kun."
Cheng Qianfan showed a hint of embarrassment, waved his hand and left the toilet.
His heartbeat quickened.
His mind was working rapidly.
The information he got from Xiaoike was the information with the most clues he had gotten so far.
teacher.
student.
Nickname.
Excellent in surgical skills.
These key pieces of information flew through his mind, thinking over and over again.
He walked towards Araki Harima with calm steps and a calm smile on his face.
At this moment, he was about thirty steps away from Araki Harima.
It’s about a hundred steps away from the section chief’s office on the second floor!
…
Has no clue!
Cheng Qianfan gradually fell into despair.
"Miyazaki-kun, hurry up and go upstairs. The section chief and distinguished guests should be waiting in a hurry." Araki Harima waved to him and said.
“It’s my fault that I made the section chief and distinguished guests wait.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
The two of them walked up the stairs.
The wooden stairs have a somewhat rotten floor, making a creaking sound when you step on them.
“This staircase should be repaired.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
At the same time, his thoughts were racing.
Still have no clue.
Came outside Sanbonjiro's office.
Cheng Qianfan looked serious and adjusted his clothes.
He lightly patted the non-existent dust on his body.
Araki Harima glanced at him, nodded, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
“Section Chief, Miyazaki-kun is here.”
Sir?
Cheng Qianfan suddenly remembered the title used by Araki Harima just now.
His heart moved.
“Come in.” Sanbonjiro’s voice came from inside.
He instantly remembered a sentence from Ge Cuifang's confession reported by Hao Zai.
These clues and intelligence converge—
His mind quickly flashed to a seemingly inconspicuous thing among the information about Kentaro Miyazaki provided by the Northwest Headquarters secret message and him.
He thought of a name.
This information is mixed and comes from the northwest headquarters, Ge Cuifang, Araki Harima, Koike, and his own analysis and research.
If any of the details are wrong, it may lead to the opposite direction.
However, Cheng Qianfan knew that he could only take this gamble.
The gamble of life and death.
“Miyazaki-kun, please.” Araki Harima extended his hand to Miyazaki Kentaro.
…
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded, pushing the door open and entering.
Lift up your eyes and look.
There is an opened bottle of sake on the desk, and there are two wine cups on the table.
Mimoto Jiro sat on the chair behind his desk.
Sitting across from him was a man in his thirties with short hair and small eyes. When he saw the door open, he turned his head and looked over with a critical eye.
“Search.” Cheng Qianfan first saluted Sanbonjiro respectfully.
Then he looked at the other man.
Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed one part doubt and two parts thinking, and then his eyes flashed with surprise.
He took two steps forward and approached the distinguished guest.
Sanbonjiro was behind the table. He couldn't get close, so he could only choose this "old acquaintance" as his target.
only…
Cheng Qianfan shook his head inwardly. With the current situation, it would be difficult for him to ensure that he could successfully end his own life after killing the 'distinguished guest'.
“Teacher Makino, it’s you indeed!” Cheng Qianfan said. As he spoke, he added the word ‘sure enough’.
His eyes held a hint of excitement about meeting an old friend, but in the excitement there seemed to be a trace of embarrassment, and in the embarrassment there was also a trace of respect.
After speaking, he bowed and placed his right hand naturally close to the pocket of his trousers, which contained a hidden blade.
He felt regretful that he could not have someone to support him before he died!
If he is exposed, the blade will be quickly removed and his own throat will be slit.
There are too many secrets in him. Only by killing himself immediately can he feel at ease with himself!
Now all he has to do is wait.
born!
Or die!
