"I'm sorry for you, teacher. I...betrayed the empire, betrayed the emperor, and betrayed you, teacher. I know that I have no qualifications to beg for your forgiveness. But...Masao, this boy, has always been with me since his mother died.
Living with my wife, I know that he respects you as much as he respects his father, so I beg you, pray that you can continue to protect him, and don't let him be like me, without father's love. Please!"
After saying that, Ryukawa Hihara bowed deeply again.
However, Washio Tetsuo didn't even look at him. Instead, he turned to look at Doihara Kenji, "Your Excellency General, since Ryukawa-kun has admitted that he betrayed the empire, you see..."
"Now that the truth has been found out, His Excellency the Marquis should know which is more important between the interests of the empire and the friendship between teachers and students." Kenji Doihara said expressionlessly, "But seeing as he is a student of His Excellency the Marquis.
For his own sake, I will be lenient and allow him to commit seppuku and apologize!"
"Thank you, General, for your kindness. Teacher, I can only repay your kindness in the next life!" After saying that, Ryukawa Hihara slowly straightened up and walked toward the door step by step, dragging his heavy footsteps.
Upon seeing this, the guard at the door was about to step forward to stop him, but Kenji Doihara stopped him with his eyes. So Ryukawa Hihara walked out of the east building door with everyone watching...
"...Officials speak too harshly, and I feel uneasy about my wife. Husband and wife are one body, so how can we distinguish slaves from kings? How can there be any discussion of favors between husband and wife..."
In the room in the west building, Longchuan Feiyuan finally chose this room as his final destination.
Listening to his wife's favorite Pingtan song playing on the gramophone, Ryukawa Hihara slowly stood down from the knife rest in front of him and took down the short knife that Mr. Nakayama had given him earlier.
But just when he was about to draw the knife, the suddenly louder volume of the gramophone made him stop what he was doing.
Turning around suddenly, I saw a figure wearing a black cheongsam. It was none other than Li Ningyu!
"Li Ningyu? You..."
"What, Colonel, are you surprised to see me? That's right, if you, Colonel, had not admitted the accusations against you, maybe by this time, I would have really boarded a cruise ship to the United States." Li Ningyu smiled.
Then he said, "I didn't expect that, Colonel, you would rather admit that you are the enemy's spy than admit about the treasure. I think it is probably for your son, right? I have to say, it is really a good reincarnation.
I think Colonel should have a deep understanding of Director Jin’s mood at that moment, right?”
"Colonel Li, you didn't come here just to laugh at me, right?"
"Of course not, I'm here to fulfill my promise."
"Promise? What promise?"
"I promised Secretary Bai that I would personally send you to hell and avenge him, the old man, and his parents!"
Hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly said: "No wonder... no wonder you can decipher that nursery rhyme, it turns out that you have already made a deal... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
The transaction will never be that simple..."
"Pa bang bang..."
Just as he was talking, Li Qiang clapped his hands and walked in from the outside, "Colonel Longchuan is really quick-thinking, and I really can't hide anything from you! Let me tell you the truth! Everything from nursery rhymes to treasures were all made up by Bai Xiaonian.
They came out to lie to you! All the real Qiuzhuang treasures have been secretly exchanged for gold bars by them!"
"What did you say? No, it's impossible! The one buried under Yoshiko's grave..."
"That's just a way they used to deceive you. You know, when they exchanged gold bars, 1 ounce of gold was only about two dollars. What now? 1 ounce of gold can already be exchanged for almost 40 dollars on the black market.
, that is to say, in just four years, the value of the treasure has increased more than twenty times. Therefore, although the amount under your lady's grave seems to be astonishing, compared with the real Qiuzhuang treasure,
It’s just a drop in the bucket!”
"No wonder...no wonder the military officers value those who are engaged in economics so much..." Ryukawa Hihara said with a rather self-deprecating smile after hearing this.
"I have to say, Colonel, you are really too cautious. In order to prevent others from being caught, you would rather prepare the tickets for us to leave when you have already determined that I am the old ghost." Li Ningyu continued, "That's not true.
To tell you the truth, the Special High School Division has laid a dragnet at the customs wharf, and no matter what action you take, it will become evidence of your murder and silence."
"So, that bank safe key was also a trap set by you?"
"Of course, but even though it is a trap, the gold bars stored in that safe are actually Qiuzhuang's gold bars."
"In other words, as long as I open the safe, it will be equivalent to being convicted of embezzling the treasure. I'm afraid I won't be able to clean it up even if I jump into the Yellow River, right?"
"That's right, but I didn't expect that you didn't take any action in the face of such a huge temptation."
However, Ryukawa Feihara snorted, "It's useless to say more. Even if I am so cautious, won't I end up like this in the end?"
"Then it can only be blamed on you being too selfish and unable to blame others?"
"I'm selfish? Haha, what do you know? I'm not doing this for myself at all, but for my son. I don't want him to be looked down upon by others because of his life experience like me! I want my son to become a noble, a true
The nobles!"
"No, you are wrong!"
Li Ningyu's sudden words made Ryukawa Hihara startled, "What did you say?"
"I said you were wrong, and a big mistake! There may be differences between rich and poor, but there is no difference between high and low. As the saying goes, 'Princes and generals are better off,' no one is born noble.
, only those with noble conduct are worthy of being called noble.”
"Well said, you are such a 'Prince, General, Prime Minister Ning has the talent'. It's a pity that I didn't get to know you earlier."
Without thinking, Li Ningyu shook her head and said: "It's useless, you have too many heavy sins and shackles on your body, and you can't break free no matter what. At the same time, you are destined to be doomed!"
"What did you say..." Before Ryukawa Hihara could finish his words, he suddenly stopped. When he lowered his head, he saw that the short knife had been inserted deeply into his abdomen.
"Colonel, don't look at me like that! I have no choice but to do so. The General and the Marquis are still waiting for news of your death! As for you, just cooperate and hurry up and get on the road!"
"You!" Ryukawa Hihara wanted to say something else, but Li Ningyu grabbed the handle of the knife with lightning speed and slashed horizontally, and immediately opened a huge gash in Ryukawa Hihara's abdomen.
Blood flowed like a gush.
However, Ryukawa Hihara just opened his mouth and realized that due to the severe pain and massive blood loss, he could not even say a word. He could only stare hard and swallowed the last breath.
tone.
…
Half an hour later, in the lobby of the east building.
"... Above, I admit all the accusations made by Vice President Gu against me about Guzhou, and I also admit that the Red Party spy old ghost is actually a fabrication. The Qiuzhuang operation is purportedly to catch ghosts, but it is actually investigating the Qiuzhuang treasure for the Black Dragon Society.
I know that my sins are serious, and I committed suicide to apologize in order to ask for forgiveness from my mentor and the General.' The above is the confession written by Colonel Ryukawa before committing seppuku. Please take a look at it, the General and the Marquis!"
After saying that, Li Qiang respectfully handed the confession in his hand to Tetsuo Washio and Kenji Doihara.
However, Washio Tetsuo just glanced at the confession and couldn't help but ask: "Did Ryukawa-kun say anything else?"
"Colonel Ryukawa kept saying that he was ashamed of his mentor and praying for his forgiveness from the beginning to the end until he died."
Doihara Kenji, who was on the side, couldn't help but said with emotion: "Your Excellency, Marquis, it seems that although your student has gone astray, he still respects you as a teacher!"
Washio Tetsuo sighed sadly, "Oh! I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. It's all my fault. I didn't even notice that a spy was planted around me. I really have lost the face of a soldier of the Empire of Japan! Look!
It seems that I am really getting old, and it’s time to give way to young people.”
Saying that, Tetsuo Washio stood up and walked out. Just when Kenji Doihara was about to stop him, he saw his frustrated and lonely back, knowing that he was already discouraged at this moment, so he had to repeat the words that were already on his lips.
He swallowed it hard.
But as soon as Tetsuo Tatsuo left, Doihara Kenji immediately retreated, leaving only Li Qiang behind. He asked impatiently: "Okay, now Ryukawa Hihara's confession has been
I got it, where is the treasure?"
"Don't worry, General. I sent someone to secretly send it to Shanghai through a special channel early this morning. Section Chief Nan Zao personally led the team to receive it."
"Well, well done." After hearing this, Kenji Doihara nodded with satisfaction, and then asked as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the Intelligence Department and the General Staff Headquarters..."
"Don't worry, my elder brother has taken care of everything at the Intelligence Department. As for the General Staff Headquarters..." As he spoke, Li Qiang looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and whispered to Kenji Doihara...
Two days later, Tianxiang Tower.
"Oh my god, Chief Ming, you are so polite. If you hadn't given me such a good idea with your cunning tricks, I would have deserved my life! Logically speaking, I should be the one hosting you.
, why did you invite me here instead?"
Looking at Black Teng Guisan who was using idioms in a serious manner, Li Qiang could only hold back his amusement and replied: "Heiteng-kun, you are too polite. After all, you and I are in the same boat. If you are unlucky, I won't
Are you going to suffer too? Besides, you are about to be promoted. As a subordinate, I have to set up a table to see you off, right?"
The few words he said made Kuroteng Guisan elated, and he laughed quickly and said: "Hahaha, okay! Since you said that, I will accept it shamelessly!"
Then he picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's do it!"
"Dry!"
At the same time, Gu Mansion.
Gu Minzhang was chatting with his daughter Gu Xiaomeng when Miss Zhao opened the door and walked in.
"Sir, I just received an unsigned letter. It's for you."
"For me?" Gu Minzhang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded suddenly and said, "Then I know who sent it to me, so just leave it here!"
"Yes." After saying that, Miss Zhao handed over the letter in her hand and then stepped out very wisely.
Gu Minzhang opened the letter without hesitation in front of Gu Xiaomeng. As expected, there was a photo inside. On top of the photo was a picture of a cruise ship setting sail, and in the middle of the picture, the beauty with a faint smile on her face.
, who else could it be besides Li Ningyu?
"It's Sister Yu! Sister Yu...she's still alive! Is that so? Dad?"
Looking at his daughter with tears in her eyes, Gu Minzhang nodded with both distress and relief, and then handed over the photo.
"That's great, that's great!" As he spoke, tears burst into his eyes uncontrollably.
However, at this moment, Gu Xiaomeng was surprised to find that the corners of Gu Minzhang's eyes had become moist at some point, so he asked very strangely: "Dad, why do you even..."
Gu Minzhang said with emotion: "I don't know why, although I didn't get along with her for a long time, but you may not believe it, to me, she... is like my other daughter..."
Gu Xiaomeng suddenly frowned, "So, your faith requires you to sacrifice one of your two daughters, right?"
"No, it's not." Gu Minzhang quickly denied after hearing this, "I know that the hell change plan has tied a knot in your heart, but I must tell you clearly that it is entirely my personal behavior and has nothing to do with faith.
My organization will never let a father hurt his daughter. Just this morning, I received news from Tokyo that a boy named Masao Ryukawa drowned in a Chinese academy."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaomeng was completely shocked. After the shock, he couldn't help but said: "Ryuukawa Hihara committed suicide in front of Washio Tetsuo in order to save his son. It seems that he still doesn't understand his teacher.
!”
Gu Minzhang shook his head and said: "No, it's not that he doesn't understand, it's that he still has illusions. He loves his son so much that he kills and betrays him for him. What's the result? Not only does he destroy himself, but he also destroys the child.
It is human nature to protect one's children. No father would be so heartless as to allow his children to fall into danger. This is true for all fathers in the world, regardless of faith, nationality, or even good or evil. Gold creates fire and leaves a legacy for his daughter.
She gained so much wealth and even risked her own life. What was the result? If our people hadn't taken action, I'm afraid she would have been in trouble long ago."
