Chapter 1198 The Someya couple who dont know good and evil
When the courtyard door of Xuqing Letter Apartment was opened again by Cao Muba, who was carrying a box of cannons in his hand, Wei Ran also saw at a glance that the person standing at the door of the small courtyard was actually someone he had met at a dance before.
Japanese journalist Yukio Sometani and his wife Junko Sometani.
"Is Miss Meixiang at home?" Yukio Sometani asked Wei Ran in extra polite Chinese.
"It's unfortunate that you're here. On the night of the last dance, my cousin went to Peking to watch the theater with Miss Andy."
Wei Ran glanced at the Japanese-produced Toyota AA car behind the two of them without leaving a trace, and continued with an apologetic look, "There is a war going on right now. My cousin is probably trapped in Peiping. I guess she has to wait until the situation outside stabilizes."
It will take some time to come back. But on the 6th, my cousin may go to the Seventh Heaven dance."
"Is this so..."
Sometani Yukio and his wife looked at each other and asked in Japanese, "Junko, what should I do?"
"Leave our car to Mei Xiang"
Junzi responded in Japanese, "Let's ask if we can drive away Meixiang's car. There is a newspaper company's car parked outside, which can help her avoid some trouble.
Also, ask this man who organized the dance in Seventh Heaven on the 6th. We also want to attend, and maybe we can provide cover for Mei Xiang."
Hearing this, Sometani Yukio nodded, switched to Chinese and asked the question to Wei Ran. By the way, he mentioned that the car broke down when he passed by here just now, and he hoped that Mei Xiang's car could be driven away first, and their car could be temporarily parked.
Such a request was made at the door of the study apartment.
Wei Ran, who could understand Japanese, did not discuss this with Jasmine or Cao Yuba at all, and said happily, "I heard from Aunt Su that the reception at Seventh Heaven was organized by Mr. Ueda, and Aunt Su and Mr. Furukawa just sent it.
Deposit money.
If you two want to participate, I'm afraid you have to ask Xiao Su's mother or Mr. Ueda. Oh, by the way, Mr. Ueda seems to live in Mr. Furukawa's house."
"Who is Mr. Ueda?" Junko Sometani asked her husband in Japanese in confusion.
“I’ve never heard of this guy.”
Yukio Sometani frowned and shook his head, then responded to his wife in Japanese, "But it doesn't matter. Tomorrow we will interview Mr. Furukawa about his views on this war. Maybe we can meet Mr. Ueda."
.”
"What if we can't meet him?" Junko Someya asked.
"We can't run away from the Seventh Heaven. We'll just go there when the time comes." Yukio Sometani replied confidently.
While the couple were chatting in Japanese, Wei Ran, who pretended not to understand, also asked Cao for the car keys, and handed them to Yukio Sometani with both hands, then led the two of them toward the garage and said,
"You two can drive away my cousin's car. She often tells me that you are her good friends, so I guess even if she is here, she will definitely be willing to lend the car to you two."
"If Mei Xiang comes back, please convey your gratitude to me and my wife."
Yukio Sometani bowed politely towards Wei Ran, then opened the car door for his wife, sent the woman with heavy Japanese makeup into the car, closed the door gently, and then got into the driver's seat.
Shi Shi said, "Mr. Wei Ran, if it's convenient, could you please help me move my car to the door. Just leave it at the door and don't have to push it into the yard. I have something urgent now. I will finish my work in a few days.
Then arrange for someone to pick up my car."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your car for you."
Wei Ran respectfully took the car key from the other party, and then watched the other party drive Mei Xiang's milky white car away in the night.
"The two of them came here just to borrow a car?" Jasmine asked with a frown on her face.
"I guess it's a good thing"
Wei Ran pursed his lips towards the car parked outside the courtyard door, "Look at the Japanese characters written on that car, it seems to mean some newspaper company? And there is a Japanese hemorrhoid flag hanging on it."
"You mean...shield?" Jasmine's eyes lit up, obviously guessing what Wei Ran wanted to express.
"I'm afraid it's more than that"
As he spoke, Wei Ran took a few steps outside, tapped the two passes stuck in the passenger side glass with the fingernails of his left hand, then retreated to the door of the hospital, looked at Cao Yaba and Jasmine behind him, and lowered his head
He said in a loud voice, "Look, they are exactly the same as the two that Xiao Su's mother sent just now. One is from the Japanese concession, and the other seems to be able to leave Jinmen."
"So those two Japs are here to help us?" Tao Canhua, who had been silent just now, had a hint of contradiction in his confused tone.
"Hard to say"
Wei Ran shook his head, "It's possible that he was fishing and wanted to trick our lady into coming out. It's hard to say that he could use this car to escape. When the time comes, as long as he drives this car through the traffic jam, he'd be able to catch us instantly.
.”
"These little devils are so hateful," Tao Canhua cursed through gritted teeth.
"Don't say that's useless"
Wei Ran looked at Jasmine and Cao Muba again, lowered his voice and said, "No matter what the other party's intentions are, as long as this car is parked here, it can be used as a barrier even if the Japanese invade."
After saying that, Wei Ran looked at Cao Mute, "Uncle Mute, you have to carry a bucket of water to wipe the Japanese car every day when there are the most people outside. In addition, push it to the main entrance of the courtyard later.
Son."
When Cao Mute nodded and went to push the cart, Wei Ran looked at Jasmine again and whispered into her ear, "Take the time to tell her what happened just now."
Hearing this, Jasmine also nodded and walked towards the small building. At the same time, Cao Muba also pushed the car that didn't even close the door to the door, while Wei Ran bent down and got in while the other party stopped.
Got into the car.
Wei Ran looked through every corner of the car with great care. Except for a copy of yesterday's newspaper, Wei Ran found no personal items at all. There is no doubt that this further proves that the other party does have a purpose.
I came here to have my car break down.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wei Ran locked the car door and was the last one to walk into the small courtyard. After a while, Jasmine also walked down the stairs.
"What did you say?" Wei Ran, who had just sat down, asked immediately.
"Miss just said that I understand," Jasmine conveyed.
"Didn't you say anything else?" Wei Ran asked doubtfully.
"No." Jasmine shook her head, "Let us do whatever we need to do."
Hearing this, Wei Ran didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject and asked, "In that case, tell me how to find Mr. Feng and how to go to Xiaoguan's house, especially where to find his sister."
"What do you think?" Jasmine asked, and Cao Mute also looked over.
"It's best for women not to go out at this time. The Japs outside are going crazy. The Japs reporter's car may not be able to stop them."
After Wei Ran finished speaking, Yang Ma, who brought the teapot, also added, "It's best to have a man at home."
Hearing this, before Wei Ran could speak, Cao Mute patted his chest, and then patted Tao Canhua's shoulder.
Jasmine looked at Tao Canhua, then at Wei Ran, nodded in agreement, "It's more appropriate for just the two of you to go. In our family, only the mute uncle, me, and the young lady know that Xiaoguan and his sister are here."
Wherever I can find Mr. Feng, I’m afraid the only one who can find him is Uncle Mute.”
After saying that, she looked at Wei Ran again, "It is true that we have to keep a man in the family. Anyway, at least on the surface, you are now the young cousin of our study apartment. How can we let the greedy young cousin who is afraid of death go to the young lady himself?
of?"
Hearing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but nodded. He had no reason to refute the two things Jasmine said. Thinking of this, he simply pulled out the small PPK pistol from his waist, along with the two pistols pinned to his belt.
A spare magazine was pushed to Tao Canhua, "Take it, for self-defense."
"But I..." Tao Canhua glanced at the small pistol on the table with some covetousness, and then asked with a sad face, "But I don't know how to use it, how can I use it?"
Looking at Jasmine who looked helpless, Wei Ran stood up with a smile and picked up the two packs of cigarettes that Tao Canhua helped him buy from Chen Xiuyu in the basement before the meal. "Moli, you teach him, I'll go."
Water the flowers and let go of the food."
After saying that, he left the small building, found a watering can and filled it with water. He first watered all the flowers and plants on the first floor, and waited until the sunset was about to be blocked by the distant buildings, then he climbed up
I went to the terrace on the third floor and carefully watered all the flowers and plants planted here.
Ignoring Jasmine who was sitting in the small living room on the third floor and guarding herself, Wei Ran climbed up the ladder and climbed up to the roof. He chose a comfortable position and lay down. He looked at Jinmen in the night with his binoculars and listened attentively.
Gunshots rang out from time to time. He even took the time to peek at the neighbors.
In contrast, the surrounding wealthy neighbors had different reactions to this battle to seize the city. Some were brightly lit and seemed to be having a banquet, while others, like them, blocked the doors and windows without leaking any light.
. He also saw the entrance of a small courtyard in the distance, and there were people from the patrol room patrolling back and forth. In the direction of Nankai University, there was still a particularly eye-catching thick smoke steaming.
Secretly clenching the telescope in his hand, Wei Ran looked around, then put the telescope away, lying on the slope of the roof, leaning against the dormer window and lighting a front door cigarette, secretly thinking about Ran Gu who had just come to the door.
The true purpose of Yukio and his wife.
Through the Japanese communication between the couple, Wei Ran could be more or less certain that the two of them most likely had the same purpose as Xiao Su's mother. The gift of money and car exchange was fake, but the two passes were probably the real thing.
But what is not sure at the moment is whether the Japanese couple wanted them to escape with Mei Xiang, or whether they hoped to find Mei Xiang.
On the other hand, when Jasmine informed Mei Xiang, who was hiding, of the incident, the feedback the latter gave through Jasmine also made Wei Ran feel a little strange, so much so that he even doubted for a moment that Mei Xiang, who could speak Japanese, could
No way, he has actually surrendered to the Japanese a long time ago.
Of course, he also knew that once a seed of doubt was planted in his heart, the price to be paid to eliminate the seed and regain trust would be too high.
In his swirling thoughts, another faint explosion came from the direction of the Japanese Concession in the distance, and he could vaguely see steaming black smoke under the dim sky.
He knew that although the city had fallen, the people in the city still did not give up resistance.
