"Miss, the person you were waiting for has arrived."
While deep in thought, the maid began to talk to the bamboo curtain. The answer to the mystery was obviously revealed. The person Geng Chaozhong was meeting was indeed a woman.
"Sir, please come in."
A clear and pleasant Japanese female voice came from the bamboo curtain. The voice was quite young and had a sense of familiarity. Geng Chaozhong paused slightly and opened the bamboo curtain.
What caught Geng Chaozhong's sight was a slender kimono girl with tall temples and an ancient style. She was looking at the visitors with curious eyes, but her face soon changed from curiosity to confusion, and confusion turned to confusion.
Surprise, surprise then turned into horror. She covered her mouth in surprise, pointed at Geng Chaozhong's face and said in surprise:
"you you you......."
Until Geng Chaozhong took off his hat with a wry smile and wiped away the beard stuck to his lips, a face that was familiar yet unfamiliar to the girl appeared in front of her again.
"Brother Ida!"
Finally, with a scream, Koizumi Junko's face turned curious again: "Why are you here?"
"This is exactly the question I want to ask you." Geng Chaozhong shook his head and walked up to Junko Koizumi, then sat down cross-legged.
"Are you Brother Date or Director Zhou?" Junzi tilted her head and looked at Geng Chaozhong with extremely confused eyes. Seeing that Geng Chaozhong didn't answer for the time being, Junzi blinked and said quickly:
"Brother Ida, I haven't seen you for more than three years. Until a month ago when I was studying in Peking, I found that a librarian in the school looked very much like you. His surname was Zhou, and his name was Zhou Xuanhe. I tested him several times.
, he was very annoyed with me, and in the end I felt that I must have made a mistake. I thought, China is so big and there are so many people, so it shouldn’t be strange to have two people who look very similar, right?"
"It's not surprising. China is indeed very big. I have seen some people with quite similar looks. However, if you see similar-looking people with different identities in front of you within three months in a row, and you still think like this,
, that can only mean that either you are crazy, or the world is crazy." Geng Chaozhong sighed, looked at Junzi's eyes like a clear spring, and nodded:
"Yes, I am Director Zhou you know, and I am also the brother Ida you know. I am sorry that I appeared in front of you in a different appearance, and I am sorry that I broke into your life like this, but I still want to
Let me ask you a question: Why are you here?"
"Why am I here?" Junzi blinked again, seeming to be repeating Geng Chaozhong's question unconsciously, and seemed to be digesting everything Geng Chaozhong told him. It was not until several seconds later that he spoke:
"My superiors sent me here!"
Geng Chaozhong really wanted to say: Are you kidding me? But he opened his mouth and held it back. He tried to calm down his emotions before speaking again:
"You mean, you've become a spy?"
"Yes, not entirely," Junko nodded heavily, and then shook her head, "Ever since you played the spy connection game with me in Daocheng, I have become curious about this profession. It happened that my father
I also asked Uncle Amano for some relevant information. Later, I returned to China for two years to study diplomacy, including intelligence analysis, and then I was sent here."
Deep in Geng Chaozhong's heart, something seemed to be slightly broken. Although the fact was right in front of his eyes, he still couldn't believe that such a once innocent little Japanese girl had joined this cruel industry.
"Brother Date, what's wrong with you?" There was a faint fragrance and a gentle touch on her arm. Junko was shaking her arm.
"Nothing, why do you want to join this business? Wouldn't your father stop you?" Geng Chaozhong finally reacted.
"Why are you stopping me? Diplomacy majors need to learn intelligence knowledge! Oh, by the way, Brother Date, you have been in China since you were a child. It's not surprising that you don't know this." Junko said.
Geng Chaozhong felt a little frustrated. Of course he knew that the diplomacy and journalism professions of any country are also the cradle of elite agents, and any diplomat is also a well-trained intelligence officer. But this kind of
Things that Chunzi was basically accustomed to made Geng Chaozhong feel a little uncomfortable.
"Well, I understand," Geng Chaozhong tried hard to expel the bad emotions from his mind, and then looked at Junzi with a focused look and said, "Let me introduce you again, I am 'Hongye'."
"I am 'Junzi'." Junzi looked at Geng Chaozhong with the same focused eyes.
"You should tell me your code name, I'm not kidding you." Geng Chaozhong said with a dumbfounded voice.
"I'm not kidding, my codename is 'Junko'." Junko's face was filled with a funny seriousness.
"Okay, good name, good code name." Geng Chaozhong's expression was a little stiff. He didn't know what the madness of the extra-high school class was this time and sent him such a contact person.
Could it be that the last contact person "Kuroki" was too old and unlucky, so this time he was replaced by a younger one?
"Hongye-kun," Junko's voice was clear but serious, "My superiors told me that because of my special status, I cannot engage in any field-related tasks. My responsibilities are the same as those of my previous contact, Kuroki.
I only collect intelligence, do not transmit it, and am not responsible for any actions. I will operate as a public identity as the daughter of a diplomat stationed in Peking, which is conducive to my safety and the security of the intelligence."
"Understood, Kuromu also operates with a public identity, but this does not mean that you are not in danger. In fact, until Kuromu's death, the empire did not have any evidence to prove that it was the Nanjing side. I hope you can fully understand
Understand the dangers and seriousness of this job." Geng Chaozhong reminded Junzi.
"I don't need you to remind me about the nature of my work. I have learned enough." Junko answered seriously, although she still looked funny.
"Okay, I know that you are indeed safe compared to those of us who do dirty work in the dark, so I won't remind you anymore. Also, are you going to be active in Shanghai in the future?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"Yes, I am studying in Peking as a visiting scholar. I will officially graduate in July next year, and then I will arrange my trip according to the situation," Junko answered patiently, then seemed to remember something, and patted her forehead gently.
, apologized:
"Brother Date, I'm sorry. I was so surprised to see you. I almost forgot. According to instructions from my superiors, the latest intelligence team has a total of four people. Headed by you, the name is the 'Red Leaf Team'. There are also two people, their
I will dictate my identity to you, and you can choose to meet them or command them remotely."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Geng Chaozhong was angry.
"I'm sorry!" Junko quickly lowered her head.
"Forget it," Geng Chaozhong waved his hand, "four people are not enough, I will add two more to make it six, which is better."
"Why make it six?" Junko asked curiously.
"Why should I tell you?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
Can he explain that six people are more auspicious than four people? That Kuroki died inexplicably because there were only four people in his "Kuromu Group"?
