The neon lights in the ballroom were rotating and flashing, colorful and ambiguous. Wang Qingzhi, wearing a fake beard and a top hat, was sipping red wine while admiring the graceful dancing on the dance floor.
On the dance floor, Zhang Yibo was dancing with his arms around a tall, beautiful woman with skin as good as snow. The woman gently pressed her body into Zhang Yibo's arms. It was obvious that Zhang Yibo was intoxicated.
Liu Dacheng sat next to Kato Shinmi, chatting with the teacher and secretly observing what was going on in the dance hall. When the song ended, Wang Zhongzhong disappeared, and so did the graceful woman who danced with Zhang Yibo.
An ominous premonition came over me, something was going to happen in the dance hall!
Soft music sounded again. A young woman walked towards Zhang Yibo, wanting to invite him to dance. Zhang Yibo sat there motionless, like an old monk in trance. She couldn't help but utter a cry and pushed forward. With a thump, Zhang Yibo fell down.
land......
"Oh no, someone is dead!"
The young woman's heart-rending scream resounded throughout the dance floor. When the dancers heard that someone was dead, they left the dance floor in panic one by one and rushed out the door.
The music stopped suddenly. The dance floor was as bright as day.
The military police responsible for security outside the door rushed in one by one with guns and live ammunition. Kato Shinmei was so frightened that Liu Dacheng and Kawashima Hideko, two generals, guarded him on the left and the right, and kept comforting him: "Teacher
, don’t be afraid. It was just an accident.”
...
After a while, the dignitaries on the dance floor left one after another. The only ones left were military personnel and Japanese and puppet agents.
Zhang Yibo fell to the ground and died. Hideko Kawashima stepped forward to check and found that there were no gunshot wounds or stab wounds.
Was Zhang Yibo drunk to death? Or was he overly excited and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage?
As a medical scientist, Kato Shinmi also joined in. He was as careful as a hair and found a small red dot on Zhang Yibo's arm. The red dot was a little larger than a sesame seed and had turned purple.
"He was bitten by a black spider. This is a black spider from the tropical rainforest, which is extremely venomous. It doesn't take ten minutes from the time he was bitten to when the poison spreads all over his body. Not even God can save him."
The strange thing is, where did the black spiders on the noisy dance floor of the Imperial Hotel come from? And also from the tropical rain forest?
The Japanese army took Zhang Yibo's body away, and a welcome banquet ended with a dead man.
Kato Shinmi lived in Room 803 on the eighth floor of the Imperial Hotel. Liu Dacheng received his warm invitation and came to his room as a guest.
Shun Tada, Section Chief Yoshida and his entourage all said goodbye to Kato Shinmi. They strengthened the security force of the hotel, from a military police squad to a squadron. There is one post every three steps, one sentry every five steps, and hidden sentries and mobile sentries were also added.
.
When teachers and students meet again after a long absence, there is always endless things to say. Kato Shinmi has already learned from Yoshida Masao and Tada Shun what Liu Dacheng experienced after returning to China, and she can't help but be filled with emotion.
"Jun Dacheng, I really didn't expect you to take this path. You are just a medical student, how come you become an agent? What is this? Fighting and killing are all menial jobs done by soldiers. We are not allowed to do this.
What's up?"
Speaking of this, the two beards on Kato Shinmi's lips trembled angrily, looking very funny. Although he is a scientist, he never dreamed that if he achieves this, he will not achieve that!
Liu Dacheng quietly activated his "mind reading" and discovered that Shanghai was not his final destination yet. His goal was to go to Nanjing and Northeast China.
The Spring Festival is a traditional festival for the Chinese. Why does Kato Shinmi still go to these places? What is his mission?
Thinking of this, Liu Dacheng tentatively asked: "Teacher, I wonder when you will return to Tokyo? I would like to accompany you around Shanghai and enjoy the wonderful scenery of Shanghai's Shili Foreign Market?"
"Oh, you're welcome. I have other tasks to complete. When I come to Shanghai this time, I mainly visit Tada Shun. He is my best friend. If you have any requests in the future, just ask him. Of course, the premise is that you can't
Damage the interests of the empire!"
"Well, thank you teacher for your concern."
After all, Kato Shinmi is a scholar, not a politician, and he does not have the vigilance that an agent should have. He told Liu Dacheng all about his trip from Tokyo, Japan to Shanghai, Nanjing and Northeast China.
According to Kato Shinmi, he was the chief scientist invited by the military to provide scientific guidance for the biological experiments conducted by the military. This reminded Liu Dacheng of the infamous "Bacteria Project" in history. The Japanese army used the Chinese inhumanely.
Conduct in vivo experiments, research and create plague viruses and chemical weapons, and apply them to the Chinese battlefield to carry out inhumane massacres of Chinese soldiers!
In Liu Chengda's impression, Kato Shinmi is an upright anti-war person. How could he get involved in the research of germ warfare? From the emphasis he just placed on the interests of the Japanese Empire, he had an ominous premonition. Kato Shinmi
Has become an accomplice of the Japanese ****!
Thinking of this, Liu Dacheng decided to test it out and said: "Teacher Kato, the student intends to invite you to spend the Spring Festival in Shanghai before leaving. What do you think?"
"No, teacher, I have a mission, I'm really sorry. However, I will definitely give an explanation to Jun Tada. With his care, I won't dare to bully you in Shanghai."
Kato Shinmi said this, but she was thinking in her heart that the Kwantung Army headquarters of Hanbing Project was in a hurry and it was impossible to spend the Spring Festival in Shanghai.
...
On the fourth day, Kato Shinmi left Shanghai and took a special train to Nanjing. When he left, Jun Tada, commander of the military police of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, saw him off in person. Liu Dacheng and Hideko Kawashima sent him to the platform, and it was difficult for teachers and students to leave him.
It's hard to tell and seems very affectionate.
Looking at the train going away, Kawashima Hideko said with deep emotion: "Natsuchi-kun, it seems that Professor Kato thinks highly of you."
"He wanted me to stay in Japan to study for a doctorate in medicine, but I wanted to go home. I really let down my teacher's kindness."
Liu Chengda's extremely lonely expression made Kawashima Hideko feel a little heartbroken. If it weren't for the war, Liu Chengda might have become a great scientist. A student who can be valued by Kato Shinmi must have a good academic level.
What a pity!
Tada Shun waved to the two young people and said: "Kato-kun has already left. What are you still doing? Let's go, take some time to accompany me to Liu Sang's Huahong Woolen Textile Factory for inspection. Yoshida-kun, you also
Go ahead."
There is a saying that money can make all the difference. Hideko Kawashima has already settled with Shun Tada and Masada Yoshida, and her "boyfriend's" company can give them 10% of the shares each. So, now that she has some time, he
I just want to go to the enterprise and take a look. In this era, as long as the machine is running, there will be a steady stream of money flowing into my pocket.
Isn't Masao Yoshida in the same mood? At this time, Liu Chengda was a little nervous. Fortunately, the basement of the office area had not been excavated. Otherwise, their sudden "inspection" might have smelled the danger of the woolen mill.
