Chapter 720 Surprise
“Have everything been packed?” Song Fuguo asked. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, a windbreaker, a top hat, and a civilized stick in his hand.
“Boss, it’s been sorted out,” Fan Qi said.
The leather case he was carrying was specially made with a sandwich in the middle that could hold a short gun and two magazines.
Song Fuguo didn't speak. He straightened his clothes and looked at the bustling crowd, the familiar river surface and the familiar buildings.
Some buildings were also missing, lost in the flames of war.
The plaster flag flying high on the pier is so dazzling.
“Let’s go.” Song Fuguo nodded.
In order to avoid the gathering of many single men to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese, he and Fan Qi were together, and the other three men acted separately.
“Boss, it’s Boss Liu.” Fan Qi smiled and waved his hand in the distance.
Song Fuguo turned around and saw Boss Liu and his party of five people carrying large and small bags, seemingly waiting for someone to pick up the ship.
Boss Liu took off his hat and waved it.
Song Fuguo smiled, took off his hat and waved in greeting from afar.
“Rickshaws.” Fan Qi carried the box and waved to stop the two rickshaws.
Song Fuguo glanced at Fan Qi and then got into the rickshaw.
…
Leaving the pier and passing through two alleys, the two got off the bus. Fan Qi paid the fare and then found the opportunity to say, "Boss, that was over there..."
“I saw it.” Song Fuguo said.
The two's original plan was to find a place near the pier to make a phone call. This phone call meant that they had arrived safely.
Fan Qi suddenly waved to stop the rickshaw. This was an unexpected situation.
Although Song Fuguo had doubts in his heart at that time, his face remained unchanged as he got on the rickshaw.
The alert Song Fuguo then saw the situation on the roadside where the rickshaw driver was running past.
There were two cars parked there, with Japanese flags in front of the cars. It was probably these two special cars that aroused Fan Qi's alertness.
Song Fuguo secretly speculated that there might be important Japanese people on board this ship?
These two cars are here to pick up people.
He was very satisfied with Fan Qi's reaction. Fan Qi made the wisest choice and evacuated immediately, never showing any interest in the situation on that side of the car:
Ordinary Chinese people are afraid to avoid Japanese people when they see them. A second glance can easily arouse suspicion.
In other words, for Fan Qi, he did not need to risk his life by staying to inquire about information. His most important task was to protect Song Fuguo, and he could ignore everything else.
…
Seeing the two men of "Boss Tang" leaving, Mikio Ishigami came to Hiroyuki Taniguchi's side and said, "Teacher, the car from the Consulate General to pick us up has arrived."
“Didn’t you tell me not to come pick us up?” Hiroyuki Taniguchi frowned.
Mikio Ishigami smiled and said nothing.
"Teacher, this is the importance the empire attaches to you." Haruko said from the side, "You have a special status, so the Consulate General cannot ignore you."
"This is what I don't like about these red tapes." Hiroyuki Taniguchi shook his head and pointed at the civilized stick in his hand, "Let's go."
The car was parked on the side of the road, next to the theater.
Several people walked to the car.
A young man in a suit and leather tie was already waiting beside the car. When he saw the middle-aged man wearing glasses who came first, he hurriedly greeted him.
“Professor Taniguchi, Second Secretary of the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai, Sakamoto Yoshino, are here to greet you.”
"Sakamoto Yoshino?" Hiroyuki Taniguchi glanced at the other party, "A boy from the Sakamoto family?"
“Yes, Professor, my father is Sakamoto Nagayuki.” Sakamoto Yoshino said respectfully.
“It turns out to be Sakamoto-kun’s Kirin.” A smile appeared on Hiroyuki Taniguchi’s face, “The last time I saw you, you were only seven or eight years old.”
“Professor, there are many people talking here, please.” Sakamoto Yoshino opened the car door and said.
“Haruko, get in this car with me.” Hiroyuki Taniguchi ordered. He glanced at a thin young man wearing glasses and said, “Chouji, get in the other car with the others.”
“Yes!” Yami Shoji nodded with a dull expression.
…
Second floor.
“Sister Zhen, look here, yes.”
Ying Huaizhen smiled.
Xia Xiaoying smiled sweetly and pressed the shutter.
Click.
The picture freezes at this moment.
The meeting between Cheng Qianfan and Xia Wenqiao did not go smoothly. The two sides did not reach a fruitful agreement on "joint resistance".
However, it is not without progress. Mr. Xiao Cheng and "Black Saburo" had a direct interview, and the two confirmed a consensus:
Neither of the two families can compete with Zhang Xiaolin's power alone. Together, they will benefit, and the only way to stay warm is to stay together.
However, this matter involves too many interests, and neither Xia Wenqiao nor Cheng Qianfan trusts the other party, so there is still room for discussion.
“Sister Zhen, I will have the photos developed today and send them to you early tomorrow morning.” Xia Xiaoying and Ying Huaizhen said goodbye reluctantly.
"Thank you." Ying Huaizhen held Xia Xiaoying's hand and whispered in the Xia family's ear. Xia Xiaoying's ears turned red and she lightly punched Ying Huaizhen.
…
At this moment, there was a quarrel at the door of the ‘Laifu Hotel’ next to the theater.
A boy who delivered packed meals was sweating profusely and was quarreling with the owner of the hotel.
The door was surrounded by idle people watching the excitement.
Both Xia Wenqiao's people and Cheng Qianfan's people were immediately alert. The killer usually used this method to assassinate, deliberately causing trouble, attracting onlookers, and then suddenly drawing a gun and shooting.
Alai winked, and a subordinate who had been paying attention to what was going on over there for a long time came over to report.
“Third brother, the nearby rice cooker received a call to order rice. The boy delivered the rice to the hotel, but the owner said that there was no such passenger in the hotel as he mentioned.”
This kind of thing may be said to be strange, but not strange. It may not be strange, but it seems a bit strange.
Especially in the eyes of suspicious people.
Cheng Qianfan and Xia Wenqiao looked at each other.
Both of them are people who value life very much. For safety reasons, they immediately shook hands and said goodbye. Under the protection of their respective men, they quickly got into a car and left the place.
…
“I didn’t expect you and Miss Xia to get along well.” Cheng Qianfan caught Ying Huaizhen’s catkin, gently stroked it, and said with a smile.
"Seeing Xiaoying reminds me of my youth." Ying Huaizhen sighed, "What an innocent and innocent age."
"Are you old?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Ying Huaizhen, his eyes stayed somewhere, and smiled slightly, "No, I like to eat peaches, but I don't like to eat old peaches."
“A joke?” Cheng Qianfan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his eyes swept over Ying Huaizhen’s beautiful body.
“Oh, you’re such a bad guy.” Ying Huaizhen blushed with embarrassment and lightly hit ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’.
“Help me press my head and squeeze my shoulders.” Cheng Qianfan laughed, lay down, rested his head on Ying Huaizhen’s arms, and closed his eyes.
Ying Huaizhen smiled charmingly, leaned down, and gently pressed Mr. Cheng's head with his slender green-white fingers.
"Don't make trouble." Ying Huaizhen stopped Mr. Xiao Cheng's restless hands.
“What am I making a fuss about?” Cheng Qianfan said with his eyes closed. “It hit me on the head and I can’t breathe.”
Should be very shy and press your head with a little force.
Cheng Qianfan raised the corner of his mouth, smiled, stopped talking, and leisurely enjoyed the beauty's massage.
…
Song Fuguo has arrived in Shanghai safely. The quarrel between the restaurant boy and the hotel owner just in front of the hotel was caused by Song Fuguo's "safety report" phone call.
Cheng Qianfan secretly calculated the time in his mind.
If Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu really came to Shanghai as judged by the call from Chongqing, they should have been here for two or three days.
There should have been contact with Japan and formal talks have even started.
However, he has not received any news yet:
In the past two days, he went to the Special High School to report work to Sanbonjiro, and went to the home of Hyōtaro Imamura to "listen to the teacher's teachings."
However, he did not find any clues about Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu, either from the Special Higher Education Department or the Consulate General.
These two people seemed to have disappeared from the world.
"Give me a photo." 'Ms. Xiao Cheng' closed his eyes and murmured, "You are wearing this cheongsam, leaning on the railing, the golden sunshine is shining on your body, captivating my eyes and confusing me. heart of."
Ying Huaizhen's hand pressing her shoulder paused slightly, and she looked at the man lying in her arms.
The man closed his eyes and was very relaxed.
‘A handsome face is like a marble sculpture’, Ying Huaizhen thought of this sentence. She couldn’t remember where she saw this sentence.
Ying Huaizhen’s hands became much gentler subconsciously.
As long as she used both hands to strangle his neck, the famous Xiao Cheng would be strangled to death by herself.
She thought again.
…
On this day, Cheng Qianfan did not meet Song Fuguo immediately.
Both men are very experienced and cautious people.
Song Fuguo needed to confirm whether he was being followed by the enemy.
Cheng Qianfan needed to confirm whether there was any problem with Song Fuguo.
“Professor Taniguchi, are you satisfied with today’s dinner?” Sakamoto Yoshino asked in a respectful tone.
“I am very happy to be able to eat authentic hometown dishes on my first day in Shanghai.” Hiroyuki Taniguchi smiled and nodded.
The Consulate General was very courteous to his arrival and specially invited a chef from Kobe to prepare an elaborate dinner for him.
"Mr. Imamura was originally going to entertain the professor in person today, but he suddenly had an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with." Sakamoto Yoshino said, "Mr. Imamura asked me to convey his apology to you. He will personally host a dinner at his home tomorrow to cleanse you. "
“Imamura-san is too polite.” Taniguchi Hiroshi nodded slightly.
…
“Professor, Miyazaki-kun would be extremely happy if he knew you came to Shanghai.” Sakamoto Yoshino said casually as he watched the girl named Haruko come over to pour tea for the two of them.
Hiroyuki Taniguchi waved his hand, and after his female student left, he took a sip of tea and praised, "Good tea."
"This is Suzhou's Mingqian Biluochun." Sakamoto Yoshino said, "Mr. Imamura specially asked me to bring it to entertain the professor."
"Imamura-kun is interested." Hiroyuki Taniguchi nodded, and then asked, "Do Ryono and Kentaro know each other?"
“Miyazaki-kun and I met two years ago, and we hit it off right away.” Sakamoto Yoshino said, he was a little confused, “Didn’t Miyazaki-kun mention it to you?”
Hiroyuki Taniguchi smiled and said, "Do you know what Kentaro calls me in private?"
Sakamoto Yoshino shook his head.
“Swordsman.” Hiroyuki Taniguchi laughed and said, “This is what this introverted guy calls me in private.”
Hiroyuki Taniguchi took a sip of tea and said, "Maybe it's because I was too harsh on him. He is actually not that close to me."
“Miyazaki-kun is not an introvert.” Sakamoto Yoshino said with a smile.
“This is a somewhat quiet and sinister guy who actually longs for friends. If he can truly become his friend, he will be very enthusiastic,” Hiroyuki Taniguchi said.
Sakamoto Yoshino nodded, thinking that is so.
Hearing Hiroyuki Taniguchi use "quiet" to describe Kentaro Miyazaki, he was a little confused.
However, thinking that Kentaro Miyazaki did not mention the friendship between him and himself to Hiroyuki Taniguchi, Sakamoto Yoshino was not disappointed, but felt that he had found the reason.
It seems that the relationship between Miyazaki-kun and Professor Taniguchi is indeed as the professor said. There is a teacher-student friendship, but it is not that close. Perhaps for this reason, the professor does not understand Miyazaki-kun's true temperament.
In addition, he couldn't help but smile when he heard the teacher use "black belly" to comment on his students.
“Professor really knows Miyazaki-kun very well.” Sakamoto Yoshino said with a smile, “Miyazaki-kun has a wide circle of friends and is indeed very sincere towards his friends.”
Miyazaki Kentaro is sincere in his treatment of others?
Maybe.
As far as he knew, although Miyazaki had very few friends, he did get along pretty well.
As for having a wide range of friends?
Miyazaki has indeed made some progress by "traveling" as a "troubadour" after graduation. However, it seems a bit exaggerated to say that he "travels widely".
Hiroyuki Taniguchi smiled and said nothing, just thinking that Sakamoto Yoshino was talking politely.
…
“Professor, do you need me to inform Miyazaki-kun that you are currently in Shanghai?” Sakamoto Yoshino asked.
“It’s not necessary for the time being.” Hiroyuki Taniguchi shook his head, “I came to Shanghai this time because I have work to deal with. After I finish my work, I will take some time to meet with Kentaro.”
"Okay." Sakamoto Yoshino nodded, but he was holding back a smile in his heart. He already knew tomorrow's arrangements from Imamura Hyoutarou:
Hyoutaro Imamura will hold a banquet at his home to welcome Hiroshi Taniguchi.
In addition, Hyōtaro Imamura will invite Kentaro Miyazaki to the banquet, intending to create a surprise for Hiroyuki Taniguchi.
Now, Hiroyuki Taniguchi does not plan to inform Kentaro Miyazaki of his arrival in Shanghai, so Kentaro Miyazaki, who is going to the banquet tomorrow night, will arrive without knowing it. In this way, this surprise is a surprise for both teachers and students. Common.
“It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb the professor’s rest.” Sakamoto Yoshino stood up and bowed to say goodbye.
When leaving the guest house, Sakamoto Yoshino met Haruko and Yame Shoji in the corridor. The two seemed to have a quarrel. Seeing Sakamoto Yoshino coming over, Haruko bowed politely, while Yame nodded with an awkward expression.
Sakamoto Yoshino ignored him and returned the greeting politely.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door to Hiroyuki Taniguchi's room opened. The professor stood at the door with his hands behind his back, "Haruko, come and touch my shoulders."
