"The weather is getting more and more uncomfortable. It's so hot in the morning. It's estimated that today's temperature will break the record again!"
Walking into the hotel to fan the wind with one hand and wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with the other, Sun Jiming couldn't help but complain.
How far had we walked? He felt that his sweatshirt was almost soaked through, and it was only around ten o'clock in the morning! What if we waited until noon?
"My opinion is quite the opposite. I feel it may be a sign that the dry and hot weather will end."
The negotiator, who was swinging his feet, wearing a pair of shorts, and lifting up his undershirt to expose his belly, was sitting slumped in the armchair and chatted with a smile.
"...Oh...what's the point?" Sun Jiming walked over, raised his belly and sat on the chair, curiously asking.
"This morning, it's not as hot as normal, and it's also a little stuffy. I went out to have breakfast this morning, and I saw clouds passing by from time to time. I guess it's going to rain that day."
"...This is not necessarily..." Sun Jiming shook his head and said: "This is not certain. There were dark clouds over the sky several times before, but in the end I only squeezed out a few drops of cat urine to show you off. In less than two days, it's time to
The heat is back again."
"It's indeed possible. The weather this year is weird. I haven't seen it in all these years of traveling all over the country. But there are some signs and there is some hope. It's better than nothing."
"That makes sense!" Sun Jiming nodded and said with a wry smile: "I still hope it will end as soon as possible! If this weather continues like this, I feel like I am going to be useless."
With a helpless sigh, Sun Jiming changed his words and asked: "Where are you going to play today? There is a big rain praying event today. It is said that many vendors have gathered there. Do you want to go out and join in the fun?"
When the negotiating man heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, he clenched his four fingers helplessly, and pointed his thumb at the sun behind him.
"...Eh..." Sun Jiming slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Look at my brain, it's probably going to be overheated, talking such nonsense..."
The negotiating man saw that something was not right about the situation, and quickly asked someone to bring him cold water, towels, and mung bean soup.
I have been making mung bean soup for the past few days, mainly because it has been extremely hot these days. I have to get up early every day to make a pot and let it cool down, otherwise it will be unbearable, but now it is still slightly warm.
After working for a while, Sun Jiming's condition improved a lot, and the negotiating man asked: "Brother Sun, why don't I send you back? Your home's cooling conditions must be better than here!
There's nothing you can do here! It's so hot that it makes you stick out your tongue! And the weather is a bit uncertain! A severe drought will be followed by a severe flood, and I'm worried that I'll trap you here."
Sun Jiming didn't say anything! He nodded and agreed. He had suffered such a serious crime so early in the morning, and he couldn't help but think carefully about what the other party said!
The negotiation man called a rickshaw for him. After helping the person get on the bus, he and the guide man followed on both sides of the rickshaw, trotting to look after him. The guide man also brought two portions of soaked tree flowers.
…
"These people are really good at pretending! Do you think I can't find you like this?"
Behind a window, a pair of eyes stared at the scene on the street, with a bit of disdain on their faces, and they laughed directly.
Looking at the people around him, Maeda felt an evil feeling in his heart. These were the reinforcements brought by Suzuki, restlessly coming to interfere with his work.
"You call that ridiculous? That's scary! Your enemy's disguise has almost no flaws, and you actually think that's funny?"
Maeda was merciless and directly hit the opponent hard. He had personally experienced the fear brought by the opponent. If he faced the enemy with such a light and disdainful attitude, he would die miserably and suffer serious consequences.
Others are miserable too...
However, he only pointed out that the other person was an important disciple of the Kendo Hall, and it was said that he had some status. If he hadn't come from the north, he wouldn't have dared to say this randomly.
Kunio Kawasaki feels very unhappy now. He is a rising star in the kendo gym and a genius in the eyes of his brothers. No one has dared to do this for a long time...
‘…If that person hadn’t come to visit…’ Kawasaki Kunio’s malice flashed through his mind, but he was a little too hesitant to show up, so he could only sulk on his own.
"Chief Maeda, the man in the rickshaw is Sun Jiming who hangs out with him all day long. He seems to have gone back because something happened. Do you need to bring him in for questioning?"
Qian Qigui broke the silence and changed the topic, thus resolving the increasingly dull atmosphere.
"It's not necessary!" Maeda shook his head and said, "His confession can still be of some use before the identity of the other party is confirmed, but now! It is of no use to us.
The best thing to do is to keep an eye on these people, and don't make any more trouble. The people here are probably only entering the city one after another, and this number is almost the opponent's limit. Just keep an eye on it to avoid any changes."
Kunio Kawasaki was just about to speak! But Maeda got there first, which made him sulky on the sidelines.
…
"Suzuki-kun, I heard that you brought a group of samurai ronin over as reinforcements?"
As soon as Suzuki came back, Panasonic came over immediately. Although he was literally asking, there was obviously some emotion in his tone.
"That batch of weapons!" Suzuki also looked helpless. He gave Panasonic some advice but didn't explain much.
He didn’t want it either! But for the weapons he requested, not to mention Takeuchi, even Kato and even their higher-ranking people in Shanghai didn’t dare to give them the go-ahead to use them.
However, Takeuchi found a trick and found someone with a higher status, supported by the opponent's platform, so that they could let go of some hands and feet, including weapons, which was also 'coordinated' by the opponent.
This requires someone to be willing, either because they can't stand it and help, or in exchange, they can use the credit afterwards and the political capital that comes with such a big action in exchange for support.
Normally! It’s the former that is said in the mouth, and the latter is held in the hand, that is, the bitch is setting up a memorial arch. This is naturally the same.
However, when Suzuki went to find him, the other party made additional requests and recruited a group of people to help. He could see that they really wanted to help, not anything else.
He declined politely, but unfortunately the other party didn't understand the situation very well and didn't understand the rejection implicit in his words, so he forced the person to him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You can't point it out clearly, or refute the other party's good intentions over and over again. You can only bring people back, and think about placing people on the periphery.
You might as well whip up soy sauce when the time comes.
But these people are restless, and they want to get involved in this and that! And some of them are not so easy to fool, and some even seem to be ready to take this opportunity to lay eggs.
Good calculation.
Now he also has a headache. Many of these people have unusual identities. It is not easy for him to refuse casually or fool him...
"Did they do something to you?" Suzuki asked tiredly, rubbing his temples.
"...Forget it...it's not a big deal. I can handle it and won't cause you this trouble! I'm looking for you because of another more important situation."
Panasonic didn't go off topic anymore, made his purpose clear, and explained: "After you left, I read a lot of information and felt that something was wrong about this matter, so I wanted to discuss with you whether this action should be more prudent."
"Tell me about your findings first!" Suzuki raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and decided to listen to what Panasonic had to say.
"I feel that the other party's contact with Shanghai Station is a bit strange. There is no need for them to take the risk of contact. And we discovered his whereabouts because of this incident. It always feels a bit abrupt and sudden..."
Suzuki nodded and said: "What you are talking about does exist, but now, there has been action in the Shanghai Station. We have deployed agents to infiltrate, and many insiders who have contact with us have been arrested by the other party..."
After Suzuki finished speaking, he took out the map, which was already marked. Suzuki pointed, made gestures, and spoke.
"Look! Shanghai Station is currently mainly centered around these few buildings they rented as dormitories. If you look at this hotel, it's not that far away.
The most important thing is that there is a direct road, and the time it takes is actually not much different from coming to our place. If you use a vehicle when there are few people, the speed may be faster.
Look again, there is also a diagonal line between the hotel and us. In order to take a detour on the way, we need to add a lot of distance. This cannot be explained by coincidence!
So I suspected that the Shanghai station might have used the opponent as a backup bait. Seeing that the bait here was not effective, we still didn’t take the bait, so we used another hand to prepare.
I went to check before this happened. I looked at the people at Shanghai Station and roughly determined that the time the other party sent the contact signal was probably the morning when the other party first went out under medical pretexts.
Although the time is a little later than when we arrived, taking into account the time it took to detect our movements and the other party's cautious behavior, there should be no direct connection between the two. It takes time to transmit information. After counting, the time is consistent.
In addition, the other party later left Shanghai in the name of withdrawing money. The most important thing is that among the people who returned, there was that unpleasant character. Needless to say the purpose of returning.
The time difference and our untimely actions may have disrupted the other party's deployment, so we went back and redone the deployment.
You see, the enemies we faced later retreated very decisively and stopped using all means to assassinate our intelligence personnel. This should also be related to the adjustment of deployment.
As for why Shanghai Station is allowed to continue operations, it may be that our personnel here are relatively scattered, making it difficult for them to move, or not being able to satisfy their appetite.
So let the defeated general in Shanghai station take action, anger us, and let us invest more power there. Then we will be attacked from both inside and outside, causing us greater losses.
Of course, these are just deductions based on the information we have. There is not much evidence to prove it, and there may be many discrepancies."
After listening to Panasonic, although most of the situations were already familiar to him, he still took out the information and checked it carefully, and found that there was not much problem with Suzuki's deduction.
Despite this, Panasonic still couldn't shake off the worry, but when it came to this, he couldn't do anything else except remind him to be careful.
"Don't worry! If I wasn't careful, I wouldn't have checked these situations! Nor would I have applied for these weapons from my superiors! I wouldn't even hesitate to go there myself! I think I've reached my limit.
Not much to say, this is the preliminary action plan I have drawn up. Please help me take a look at it and check for any omissions. You are in the north, and there are many opportunities for such big operations, so you should be more experienced!"
Matsushita was not polite when he heard this. He took the stack of paper and read it carefully. I have to say that Suzuki was a bit too modest.
"It's already extremely complete. I can't find anything that needs to be added. I just don't understand why there are so many people on the periphery."
Suzuki heard this and said: "I want to bring back those people and arrange them on the periphery, but those people are not that easy to fool, so we can only increase our number to stop their mouths.
Of course, I also think it is necessary to prevent and blockade, not only to prevent people inside from escaping, but also to block people coming from the concession or from the other side for support.
I have found someone to understand the environment there. It is very unfavorable to the attacking side and it is very likely that they will not be able to defeat the enemy for a while. At that time, we need these people outside to buy us as much time as possible."
