"The death rate is a bit higher than other teams."
Sato held the personnel report list in his hand and slowly moved his eyes downward. When his eyes fell on the name of "Miyamoto Kuken", he suddenly froze, raised his head and asked:
"Miyamoto also died. When did it happen?"
"In the last training session this morning, unfortunately, I fell just ten meters short of the ironworks gate." Geng Chaozhong had a look of regret on his face.
"He was the one I took care of for you, how could you let him die too?" A look of anger appeared on Sato's face.
"There is no way to take care of the routine training," Geng Chaozhong spread his hands helplessly, "Besides, the intensity of the training that started last night has been reduced by half. Who knew that something could happen like this!"
"Forget it," Sato waved his hand helplessly, "among these people, you don't find any bad elements with anti-Japanese tendencies, right?"
"No, the team is very capable and very loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. I personally think that these are the talents that the empire can build." Geng Chaozhong replied with a serious face.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time." Sato's face softened a little, as if he realized that his attitude just now was slightly inappropriate.
After all, the Imperial Army attaches great importance to long-distance cross-country capabilities. Deaths during forced marches also happen from time to time in the Imperial Army. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with physical fitness. It is indeed too much to blame Date for this.
.
"Everyone is the same, they are all for the future of the empire," Geng Chaozhong's expression was very indifferent, "Besides, I am just a little tired, but I am already very comfortable."
"Well, Date-kun is worthy of being an elite of the empire," Sato nodded with satisfaction and changed the subject: "What about Watanabe, is there anything unusual? Did he have any excessive contact with students in private?"
"Not at all," Geng Chaozhong frowned, "I can't see anything unusual about this person. It may require long-term observation. But, Sato-san, is your intelligence source wrong? From what point of view does this person look?
They are all Imperial soldiers through and through."
"I just have suspicions. There is no conclusive evidence, so it's okay. I trust your judgment, Date-kun." Sato grinned, "Since you say it's no problem, then it's no problem. You can relax a little more in the future.
"
"Sato-san has also been working very hard recently. There should be a relatively long period of cultural classes next. I think you can take a rest, Sato-san. It seems that you have a little more wrinkles recently." Geng Chaozhong said with concern on his face.
said.
"It doesn't matter," Sato waved his hand, "As you said, your tasks will be lighter in the future, so you should also put the matter of contacting the Secret Service on your agenda. You'd better contact the contact person
Please report the details to me in a week."
"Hi Yi," Geng Chaozhong nodded quickly in agreement, "I will be going out in the next few days to get in touch with the Secret Service."
"That's good, remember, as soon as possible!" Sato waved his hand.
...........
When Geng Chaozhong returned to the dormitory, Yun Wei had just walked in. The two looked at each other, and they leaned against the window in the corridor on the first floor and started chatting.
"I talked to those two little guys, and when I told them the information Matsumoto provided, their faces turned pale with fright. They should probably stop talking nonsense in the future," Yun Wei said.
"That's good. We need to focus on these two little guys and make good use of the conditions of the Secret Service Training Center to cultivate talents for us. It will also be very helpful to us to join the Secret Service in the future." Geng Chaozhong's face showed a smile.
Smiling, he continued: "By the way, Sato asked you again today, and I prevaricated him. However, Sato's suspicion is not easy to dismiss. You should be careful in the future."
"Well," Yun Wei nodded, with unwavering determination in his eyes, "There's no point worrying about this matter. When the day comes, I won't implicate anyone."
Geng Chaozhong raised his head, the two looked at each other for a moment, and then separated.
"Nothing will happen," Geng Chaozhong patted Yun Wei's arm gently, "By the way, I'm going out for a few days, so I'll leave those little ones to you."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them." Yun Wei nodded.
"You two, we've been a bit like each other lately!" A charming female voice came to her ears, and Xiangzi walked over from the end of the corridor, with a teasing light in her eyes.
"It turns out to be Miss Xiangzi." They both stood up at the same time.
"How about it? We have three days of vacation. Where do you two plan to go?" Xiangzi looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Miss Xiangzi seems to have turned dark." Geng Chaozhong looked at Xiangzi and changed the topic.
"Date-kun's words are still so boring," Xiangzi glanced at Geng Chaozhong and looked at Yun Wei, "Watanabe-kun, I'm going to Tokyo this afternoon, are you free?"
"Of course, of course I'm free!" Yun Wei's face shone with joy, "What orders does Miss Xiangzi have?"
"If Watanabe-kun is free, then accompany me to go shopping in the department store. I want to buy some things from my daughter's house for my students, how about that?" Xiangzi said with a smile.
"I'm happy to accompany you!" Yun Wei's whole body seemed to be floating.
"Then I won't disturb you two," Geng Chaozhong took a few steps back in time, "I wish you both a happy shopping!"
.........
After tidying up, Geng Chaozhong changed into casual clothes and quickly left Yuedao.
The task assigned by Sato must be done, and it is not difficult. Before coming, the acting boss had already thought of this and had already arranged the contact person in advance.
But Geng Chaozhong felt a little heavy.
There is no other reason. The purpose of this official contact is to protect Yun Wei, the real contact. In fact, this official contact is simply a dead soldier. The biggest reason why Geng Chaozhong is unwilling to contact him
That is, once contacted, this person is almost destined to die!
After leaving Tsukishima and taking the tram, Geng Chaozhong came to a Japanese tea house in Shinjuku District, Tokyo. He booked a room, made a phone call to the shopkeeper, then changed into a loose kimono and walked in.
There is a private room that has been prepared.
Japanese teahouses are actually not much different from Chinese teahouses, but in terms of tea ceremony culture, the Japanese are more complicated and meticulous. They light charcoal fire, boil water, make tea, and matcha. Under the attentive and elegant dance-like service of the tea master, Geng Chaozhong
Take the tea with both hands, thank you first, then turn the tea bowl three times, taste it lightly, drink slowly, and return it.
If so, more than half an hour has passed. Geng Chaozhong waved his hand and the tea master respectfully withdrew. After a while, a young man in kimono walked in with his head bowed and bowed respectfully to Geng Chaozhong.
Bowed and whispered:
"Dear guest, I will serve you for the rest of the time. I am just an apprentice. Please give me your guidance."
"How could it be you?" Geng Chaozhong raised his head and looked at the immature-looking young man in front of him, "We meet you everywhere in life!"
The visitor was Liu Xuejun, a young Chinese student whom he met several times on the passenger ship when Geng Chaozhong was traveling eastward to Fusang!
After a few months, Geng Chaozhong never expected that he would meet this person in a small teahouse!
"Mr. Zhou, the acting boss asked me to follow you," Liu Xuejun raised his head, with a beautiful smile on his innocent face, "I am your contact person in Tokyo."
