"Well said! It's a good thing that you don't want to be a deserter! It seems that the madman is quite good at training students!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Yu Manli was the first to react and stepped forward to protect Mingtai behind her. Guo Qiyun even took out his pistol and pointed at the incoming person warily.
It was only then that Mingtai finally came to his senses and said in surprise: "Ah...Brother Aqiang?! How did you find this place?"
Li Qiang didn't want to but replied with a half-smile: "Didn't you send me a telegram and ask me to see me?"
…
Ten minutes later, Li Qiang and Mingtai were sitting in the driver's and passenger's seats of the new Dodge car, looking at each other.
"Are you really a poisonous snake?" After looking at each other for a long time, Mingtai finally couldn't help but ask.
"Why, doesn't it look like it?"
"Since you are a poisonous snake, why would you give such an order?"
Facing Mingtai's questioning, Li Qiang did not give any explanation, but directly threw something to him.
Mingtai took it and saw that it was a newspaper, so he asked with a puzzled face: "What do you mean?"
"This is the newspaper from the twelfth, which is the day we go to attend the seminar. Take a good look at the front page headlines."
However, it was okay for Mingtai not to read it. When he saw the eye-catching headline "Deputy Director Ming of the Secret Service Commission Killed Anti-Japanese Elements" on the front page of the newspaper and the photo attached under the title, he was stunned.
Already.
"this……"
Just as Mingtai was about to say something, Li Qiang stopped him and said, "I know what you are going to say, but unfortunately, I have sent someone to verify it secretly. The reports about this matter are completely true, and there is no malicious intent."
It was fabricated, so Shangfeng issued an assassination order."
Speaking of this, Li Qiang paused for a moment, and then continued: "I know that you two brothers have a deep relationship, but the military order is so strong that even I have no chance of taking it back. If you really can't do it...
…”
"No!" Before Li Qiang could finish his words, Mingtai raised his hand to interrupt him, "Don't worry, as a soldier of the party and state, I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned to me by the top, even if this person...
...He is my eldest brother. If this is really the case, then he really deserves to die!"
After saying that, Mingtai opened the door and got out of the car.
Li Qiang quickly asked: "Where are you going? Aren't you going home?"
"No, I just want to be alone now." After saying that, Mingtai got out of the car and walked aimlessly into the distance along the road where there were not many pedestrians anymore.
Li Qiang, on the other hand, just watched Mingtai gradually disappear into the night and did not stop him. Instead, he simply started the car, turned around and headed straight for the East China Photo Studio...
…
Even in Shanghai, the cold wind on winter nights was still biting. Mingtai unconsciously tightened her tight coat.
At this time, he had been walking blindly along a row of old buildings for more than half an hour. To be honest, he hated doing something aimlessly like this.
But now that he has done this, he can no longer think of any other way to calm down and concentrate on thinking.
After taking a deep breath of the cold air, Mingtai found a quiet place and sat down, staring directly at the hazy and endless darkness in front of him, his brain started working rapidly, and he fell into deep thought without moving.
The first thing that comes to mind is the scene on my first day of school when I was a child. I was walking in front, and Minglou followed behind and shouted: "Mingtai, come here..."
After he ran up to Minglou happily, Minglou pointed to his feet and said softly: "Look, the shoelaces are loose."
As he said that, he knelt down and helped him tie his shoelaces.
At this moment, a photographer stepped forward and took the photo. The next day, an article titled "The First Day of School" was published in the newspaper together with the photo...
Immediately afterwards, another scene appeared in my mind. On the first day of the new year, I took the newspaper that published a photo of Minglou when he took up the new government position and asked him face to face: "What's going on?
"
Minglou said angrily: "What's going on? What do you want to know? Is this something you should worry about? Just take care of your homework!"
"When we were in Hong Kong, I saw that my eldest sister was very worried about you. She didn't believe you were a traitor, and neither did I!" Mingtai said excitedly.
However, Minglou just replied lightly, "In this position, I can't explain many things clearly. Let history judge whether it is merit or demerit! You are not a historian, and neither am I. So I can't answer this question.
Answer you. Again, no matter what you want to know, you have to find the answer yourself."...
"Brother, is this the answer you asked me to find?" Mingtai shook his head hard and said to himself silently, "Brother, are you really a traitor?"
Thinking of this, Mingtai silently lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep puff, and thought to himself: "If he is really a traitor, will Sister Yi let him live at home? Will she treat him as usual?
? But if he is not a traitor, what is his identity?"
Mingtai repeatedly recalled the state of affairs between Minglou and Mingjing, trying hard to recall every detail that could support his judgment, from the two of them arguing in low voices behind his back from time to time, to the two of them finding themselves listening to
I never tire of recalling that strange reaction over and over again.
Could it be that the eldest brother is an anti-Japanese element like himself? Judging from the eldest sister's attitude towards him, it seems that this is the only explanation.
But if he was really an anti-Japanese element, why did he kill his comrades with his own hands?
Is there another hidden story behind this matter, or has he really rebelled?
Also, if this incident is true, then why has the Red Party taken no action for so long? Is it waiting for the opportunity, or...
As one guess after another kept appearing in his mind, Mingtai's brain, which had just gained a rare moment of clarity, once again fell into chaos.
But even so, Mingtai finally succeeded in formulating a tentative plan, then stopped a rickshaw and headed straight for his mansion.
"Sister, I'm back!" As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ming Jing drinking coffee and reading a newspaper in the living room. Ming Tai pretended that nothing happened and said to Ming Jing nonchalantly.
Ming Jing, who still didn't know what happened, glanced at Ming Tai with some reproach, and said earnestly: "You kid, you know how to run outside all day long, and you don't see anyone all day long. Do you know that there are people outside the concession right now?"
What a mess! By the way, I have made an appointment with Mrs. Su for you to meet that girl at Yipinxiang tomorrow morning. You must not play tricks on me or find reasons to avoid going!"
