Half a month later, Jiang Xinyu drove Hu Zhanbiao to the foot of the collapsed mountain in Lishuling.
At this time, Hu Zhanbiao had shaved his beard and was wearing a black satin shirt and a black top hat. He looked like a gang member.
"Mr. Jiang, we didn't bring any tools, so we definitely can't open the hole. You saw it last time..." After getting out of the car, Hu Zhanbiao was still mumbling.
Jiang Xinyu walked over, moved the camouflaged branches away, and said, "Don't worry, I took care of everything beforehand."
Hu Zhanbiao said in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, you think about everything so thoughtfully... I don't know how to thank you!"
"Killing more Japs on the battlefield is the greatest thank you to me!"
"must!"
Jiang Xinyu handed him a flashlight and said: "I won't give it to you. If you encounter a patrol team in Huangcun, don't panic. The detective team ID I gave you should be able to scare them. If they ask you what to do,
He just said he was here to investigate the case."
"I see."
"Take care of yourself!"
Hu Zhanbiao nodded, moved a few stones away, and ducked in.
Jiang Xinyu re-camouflaged the entrance of the cave, then returned to the car and turned around to return to Yanjin.
…………
"Ring ring ring ring!" the phone rang.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Yes - I -" Hattori Mina said in the receiver, deliberately lengthening her voice.
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "I know it's you, is there something wrong?"
"What have you been busy with during this period? I've called several times, but I can't find you."
"How could it be? I'm either at home or in the detective team, how could they not find me?"
Hattori Mina said in a low voice: "That's because I'm unlucky. You're not here every time..."
"I'm very lucky today, I happen to be at home."
"Hey, do you have time today?" Hattori Mina's voice immediately became cheerful.
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "For your good luck, there is no need."
Hattori Mina pretended to be angry: "I am getting more and more glib... If I have time, I would like to drink Lilac coffee."
Jiang Xinyu looked at his watch and said, "Okay, where are you? I'll pick you up."
"At home, come on, I'll wait for you."
"Okay, see you later."
"Um."
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Xinyu's car stopped in front of Hattori Mina's house, and he honked the car horn several times.
After a while, Hattori Mina and Chang Hongling walked out one after another.
The two people opened the car door and got in. Chang Hongling said, "Captain Jiang, I'm so sorry for disturbing you again."
Hattori Mina explained: "Ayako just asked me to have coffee. I thought, let's just go together, since we are all acquaintances anyway."
Jiang Xinyu glanced at Chang Hongling in the rearview mirror and said, "Mrs. Hattori, would you like to wait a moment, Major?"
Before Chang Hongling could say anything, Hattori Mina hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm with my brother and he'll teach me a lesson at every turn, so let's forget it."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "Okay then."
Chang Hongling said: "Where are you going to drink coffee?"
"Lilac, didn't I tell you?" Hattori Mina took out a few packs of Camel cigars from her bag and stuffed them into Jiang Xinyu's briefcase.
The cigar was a gift given to Hattori Hikoo by someone else. Chang Hongling pretended not to see it and continued: "Actually, when it comes to the taste of coffee, Xinxin Cafe on Minister Lane Road has the purest coffee. I heard that the coffee beans are imported from Brazil."
Jiang Xinyu knew very well that something must have happened to Chang Hongling, otherwise she would not have used such a blunt method to get involved in his date with Mei Na.
"Well, I also heard that the coffee at Xinxin Cafe is very good, and the sweet donuts are also very delicious =." Jiang Xinyu echoed.
"Really? Then go to Xinxin Cafe!" For Hattori Mina, who likes sweets, Jiang Xinyu's last sentence was very lethal.
The car turned into Minister Lane and slowly stopped in front of Xinxin Cafe.
Walking into the cafe, Jiang Xinyu immediately understood why Chang Hongling was so skillful.
At the table in the corner, Qin Li was sipping coffee and holding a newspaper in his hand, looking very leisurely.
Jiang Xinyu deliberately fell behind and whispered to Chang Hongling: "You should continue to hibernate!"
Chang Hongling said: "It doesn't matter, Hattori Hikoo has cleared his doubts about me."
"how do you know?"
"I haven't found anyone watching me when I've been on the streets recently. Qin Li has also checked..."
Hattori Mina walked back briskly and said, "What are you talking about? I've ordered everything."
Chang Hongling said: "I'm talking about you."
Hattori Mina glanced at Jiang Xinyu and muttered: "What are you talking about about me..."
Chang Hongling said: "Captain Jiang said you look like an angel!"
With a few words of coaxing, Hattori Mina was elated. She didn't know how her dress today could be praised so much by Jiang Xinyu, so she hurriedly made an excuse to run to the bathroom to look in the mirror.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the pedestrians and vehicles outside the window and said, "What's the point of lying to her like this?"
Chang Hongling took a sip of coffee and said, "Am I wrong? If you put aside the national stereotypes, isn't Mina an angel in your heart?"
"What you're talking about has nothing to do with work!"
"It doesn't matter much, but if you don't tell her something she likes to hear, she won't bring me here next time."
"...How are you going to contact Mr. Qin when Mina is here?"
"Do you know why we have to come here? There is a large mirror in the bathroom. You can see the people coming in from the outside. Qin Li and I will meet there and it will only take a few minutes."
Jiang Xinyu has been in Yanjin for several years and has been to Xinxin Cafe several times. Of course he knows the huge mirror in the bathroom.
Chang Hongling is right. If someone goes in midway, the people inside can see it in the mirror as long as they pay attention.
While they were talking, Hattori Mina came back and said, "Do you know what is the most distinctive feature of this cafe?"
"I guess it's a big mirror." Jiang Xinyu said.
Hattori Mina said in astonishment: "How do you know?"
Chang Hongling smiled and said: "Fool, of course Captain Jiang has been to Xinxin Cafe, how could he not know."
Hattori Mina held her chin and said in a depressed tone: "Brother, do you think I'm stupid all the time? I don't understand such a simple truth!"
Chang Hongling leaned close to her ear and said with a low smile: "You are not stupid, you already know how to get things from home."
"What did I get?"
"British cigars."
"Brother doesn't smoke cigars. Besides, I told him yesterday."
"You always have a reason... Captain Jiang, you guys talk first, I'll excuse you for a moment." Chang Hongling stood up and walked to the bathroom.
Qin Li glanced around, put down the newspaper in his hand, and slowly followed in.
Almost at the same time, a black car drove past the door, then reversed and stopped after a few seconds. Hattori Hikoo, in a straight suit, stepped out of the car...
