Qiantian and Lu Ming drove one after another to the Japanese Concession. There was no one on the street, and the shops had already closed. They all went home to prepare for the reunion dinner.
The sound of firecrackers everywhere became louder and louder, and it was obvious that many adults also joined in setting off firecrackers. At the last moment of the year, everyone wants to indulge, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
The night is getting darker, and the stars in the clouds are shining brightly, but because the clouds are too thick, all the stars in the sky cannot be shown.
This year's winter was extremely cold, with occasional pattering of winter rain, and long icicles hanging from the eaves.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the Japanese Concession, two guards came over with guns ready to inspect. Qiantian opened the car window, waved his ID and cursed: "Baga." Then the car suddenly accelerated and rushed into the Japanese Concession.
Lu Ming was also unambiguous and rushed after Qian Tian.
There were a total of four guards standing guard here. The two guards at the back had already rushed through the border, so they held the Type 38 rifle hanging on their shoulders and wanted to shoot. The guard in the front yelled at him to put down the gun.
.
"Captain, why can't they shoot when they break through?" a guard with a gun asked in confusion.
"Baga." The captain reached out and slapped the guard hard on the face.
Baga is a Japanese word for scolding foreigners, similar to "Fake" in English. The captain did not expect that Kenta would scold one of his own people like this. It was too rude.
The people at the consulate were great. They just showed off their documents and no one said they had to check them. The captain was very angry.
But he really couldn't afford to offend the people at the consulate. He wanted to stop Lu Ming's car behind him, but when he saw the consulate's flag on the car, he had no choice but to let it go.
To the senior officials of the Japanese military, those engaged in diplomacy are just idlers who live off their talk and are not considered at all. However, to the lower-level officers and soldiers, the diplomats' documents and the national flag they fly are sacred and inviolable.
The four guards all had their heads hanging down. The one who was celebrating the New Year was scolded for no apparent reason. Who had provoked whom?
It's also their fault for not being smart. If they had seen the consulate's car earlier, they would have just saluted and let it go. If something like this happened to them, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
The two cars drove to the parking lot of the public auditorium one after another. Qiantian and Lu Ming both parked their cars. Seeing that there was no one around, they hurriedly opened the trunk, and An Gonggen and others quickly got out.
Without saying a word, a group of people entered the corner room that they had already targeted.
This room looks like it has been vacant for a long time. There is only a table and a few chairs, and I don't know what they are used for.
Lu Ming once studied the use of this room. Maybe it was originally used as a cloakroom. Maybe people who drive in have to enter this room first, and then take off their hats and coats to store them. This should be the original purpose of this room.
.
Perhaps later on, everyone felt that they should enter through the front door in a dignified manner, rather than through the back door, which smelled a bit sneaky, so they moved the cloakroom to the entrance of the front door, and this room was freed up for storage.
Tables, chairs and sundries.
Lu Ming didn't know whether this was the case or not. This public auditorium had a long history. It had been in use before the Japanese Concession.
There was a large bottle of ether and a sealed paper bag on the table. Inside the paper bag was gauze that had been soaked in ether. The gauze was stacked in several layers, enough to stun hundreds of people.
Yan Xiaohui was very careful in her work, showing her good intentions towards Lu Ming. Lu Ming handed these things to An Gonggen and the other four, who were veterans of ether kidnapping and did not need any teaching.
The four An Gonggen could not go out, so they could only hide in this room, waiting and preparing to arrest the person. After catching the person, they would be transported directly to the parking lot and stuffed into the trunks of two cars.
Lu Ming and Qian Tian came to the corridor as if nothing had happened, pretending to chat.
Not far ahead is the banquet hall. People attending the sorority party have already arrived one after another. Male waiters in uniforms and female waiters in short skirts shuttle back and forth, serving glass after glass of various wines to the guests.
As soon as Qiantian and Lu Ming entered the banquet hall, a waiter came over with a tea tray and asked them to choose wine. The tray contained British whiskey, French champagne and wine, and Russian vodka.
Qiantian chose a glass of whiskey, but Lu Ming got a glass of vodka. They got to know Peter well, and he also liked vodka.
"Kenta-kun, why are you here?"
At this time, a person in the crowd squeezed through with all his strength. Although the distance was not long, this person was somewhat out of breath when he squeezed through.
"Hitian-kun, you are not very funny. You have so many good wines here and you don't even invite me over." Kenta said with a smile.
The two of them saluted each other, and then Qiantian introduced to Lu Ming: "Lu Sang, this is Mr. Feitian, the branch president of Mantetsu Co., Ltd. stationed in Shanghai."
Feitian bowed to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming bowed in return and recited the greeting he learned from his Japanese classmates.
Feitian was very happy and laughed: "You two uninvited guests are unexpected. I never expected to invite such distinguished guests as you. Lu Sang, I have heard about you for a long time."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. President Feitian's name is like thunder." Lu Ming said hypocritically.
This was the first time he heard the name Hieda. It wasn't that Hidden wasn't heavy enough, but that he didn't care about the Japanese affairs at all.
Lu Ming secretly looked at Feitian. This guy's name was wrong. He should just call him Feiyuan. He was exactly in the shape of a date pit. If a person lay on the ground and covered himself with a cloth, no one would be able to tell that he was a person.
, only one sphere can be seen.
When he walked, it seemed that he was not moving with his two short legs, but rolling directly on the ground.
The three of them had a drink together and chatted a few words about "the damn weather", and then Feitian invited them to the dining area on the right.
There are various snacks and dishes placed on the long table here, the most important of which is Japan’s national quintessence: sushi. There are hundreds of kinds of sushi, neatly arranged like colorful puzzles, and there are also various
Grilled fish, smoked fish, roe from Hokkaido, etc.
Most of the dim sum are from China. After all, there are not many good dim sum in Japan. At best, they are just various rice balls.
Qiantian picked some sushi and ate it, and introduced the taste of various sushi to Lu Ming. Lu Ming also ate a few, but still felt that he was not used to this kind of food, so he chose a piece of grilled fish and ate a piece.
Feitian was still muttering in his heart. He didn't understand how Qiantian could come uninvited. It wasn't that he didn't send invitations to Qiantian, but that he sent invitations to the consulate every year. Unfortunately, no one from the consulate ever showed any interest.
Do not care.
He also knew that diplomats always regarded themselves as aloof and looked down on the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Railway, who were brave warriors, thinking that they were all bloody warmongers.
No one knows that Feitian is the most peace-loving person because he can only make money during times of peace.
Once a war breaks out, you may earn more money, but the money will soon be turned into bullets and artillery shells and thrown out, leaving a hole that will never be filled.
Therefore, Feitian hates war and believes that war is the most stupid behavior of mankind.
What were those warriors thinking? They couldn't suppress their anger, and they smashed all the foundations left by their ancestors to pieces. That was wealth that had taken hundreds or even thousands of years to accumulate.
Whether it was the magnificent buildings or the colorful streets, they were destroyed in the blink of an eye, leaving only lonely old people and homeless orphans.
Feitian often roars alone: This must be a great but stupid cause that mental patients aspire to.
