Hattori Hikoo stepped into the cafe, and his personal guard did not follow him, but patrolled around outside the door.
"Brother?" Hattori Mina said in surprise.
Seeing that Hattori Hikoo was not wearing a military uniform, Jiang Xinyu stood up and said, "Mr. Hattori."
Hattori Hikoo nodded, appreciating Jiang Xinyu's adaptability and said, "I just passed by and saw your car, so I came in to take a look."
Hattori Mina said: "Brother, where are you going? Why are you dressed like this?"
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said: "What's wrong with this look? Don't you think I look good in a suit?"
Hattori Mina: "Seeing as you are used to wearing military uniforms, it's strange to suddenly change into a suit."
"I went to attend Mayor Wen's private banquet, so I wore a suit... Why, are there other people drinking coffee with you?" Hattori Hikoo glanced at the three cups of coffee on the table.
Hattori Mina explained: "Oh, it's Ayako. She had nothing to do at home, so she came with her."
"I told you how to call home. No one is here. I want to tell the servant before I go out next time." Hattori Hikoo said with a straight face.
"I got it." Hattori Mina turned her back to Jiang Xinyu and made a face.
"...Where did Ayako go?" Hattori Hikoo looked around and saw that there were only five or six tables of customers in the cafe.
"Going to the bathroom, brother, wait for her for a while and she will come out soon." Hattori Mina said, reaching out and pulling out a chair.
Hattori Hikoo glanced at his watch and said, "I was about to ask her if she would like to go to Mayor Wen's banquet with me... Where is the bathroom?"
"Over there." Hattori Mina turned around and pointed.
"You guys go on, I'm going to greet Ayako." Hattori Hikoo walked towards the bathroom.
Although he knew that the mirror could see people coming, Jiang Xinyu was still secretly worried for Chang Hongling and Qin Li.
Everything is unexpected. If two people are too focused on talking and ignore the mirror, they will be in big trouble!
Fortunately, no accident occurred. Chang Hongling walked out of the bathroom, pretending to be surprised and said, "Hattori-kun, why are you here?"
Hattori Hikoo: "Let's see you."
Chang Hongling whispered: "Haven't you seen enough at home?"
They rarely said anything similar to this kind of joking between husband and wife, which made Hattori Hikoo feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. He was stunned for a few seconds and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Chang Hongling had no reason to stop her and could only watch Hattori Hikoo step into the bathroom.
The bathroom is divided into men's and women's sides. There are two wash basins side by side in the outer room, and a huge mirror is embedded in the wall.
Qin Li originally wanted to wait for a while before going out and try to avoid Hattori Hikoo, but now it seems that he can't avoid it no matter what, so he can only bite the bullet and walk out with his head lowered.
"Wait a minute!" Hattori Hikoo suddenly called Qin Li.
Qin Li looked back and said, "Sir, are you calling me?"
"Is there a second person here?"
"I'm sorry, I don't seem to recognize you."
"What's your surname, sir?"
"My surname is Sun."
"Where is the wealth?"
Qin Li said calmly: "Are you a policeman?"
Hattori Hikoo took out his ID card, shook it, and said, "What a coincidence, I am indeed a police officer."
"...I run a grocery store near the station." Qin Li felt a little uneasy. Hattori Hikoo didn't recognize him, so why did he suddenly become suspicious?
Hattori Hikoo stared at the mole on the corner of Qin Li's mouth and said, "Identification."
Qin Li took out his good citizen certificate and handed it over. If it was an ordinary routine inspection, he would not be worried at all. There was no flaw in the certificate.
But now he is facing Hattori Hikoo!
Hattori Hikoo looked at the ID carefully, then handed it back and said, "Sorry to bother you."
Qin Li turned around and walked out. When he walked past Chang Hongling, there was no expression on his face, as if he didn't know the other person at all.
Hattori Hikoo slowly walked out, his eyes following Qin Li's back until he sat down at the table.
"I'm going to attend Mayor Wen's private banquet. Are you willing to accompany me?" Hattori Hikoo said to Chang Hongling.
"Of course." Chang Hongling took Hattori Hikoo's arm, and the two of them returned to the table affectionately.
Chang Hongling picked up her satchel and said, "Hattori-kun and I are going to the banquet, so I won't disturb you."
Hattori Mina snorted and said, "If I had known this, I would have ordered one less cup of coffee. What a waste!"
After leaving the cafe, the guard opened the car door and Chang Hongling got in first.
Hattori Hikoo walked up to the guard and whispered: "Leave two people. The man in the cafe wearing a blue tunic suit with a mole at the corner of his mouth must be closely monitored!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
…………
Sun Kee Grocery Store.
Qin Li returned to the store and reflected on what happened in Xinxin Cafe today. Did Hattori Hikoo notice something, or did he just ask casually?
He pushed open the door and said: "Zheng Huan, we will close early today and take stock of the goods."
Zheng Huan agreed and said to an aunt who was still carefully selecting: "Old lady, you can come back tomorrow. Our shopkeeper said that we will take stock today."
The aunt walked out reluctantly, muttering: "No wonder business is not good, it's closed in broad daylight..."
"I'm sorry, please walk slowly." Zheng Huan accompanied him politely.
After finishing the door panel and inserting the door latch, Qin Li said: "Keep an eye on it."
"Understood." Zheng Huan looked through a crack in the window and did his vigilance.
Qin Li returned to the inner room, removed the rice vat, and then moved away the bluestone slab under the rice vat. A suitcase wrapped in oil paper was hidden underneath. Inside was a radio and a Colt pistol.
He put the pistol aside, set up the radio antenna, connected the power supply, put on the headphones, and started reporting to the headquarters.
"Didi-di-di-di-di-di..."
——According to reliable information, the 3rd, 13th, 37th, 4th, 58th, 116th divisions and heavy artillery regiments of the enemy's 11th Army Hengshan Isamu have been mobilized frequently recently and are likely to launch an attack on Guangxi
, I hope we can make preparations as soon as possible! In addition, we need to send more manpower for Wen Shizhen’s anti-rape operation!
After finishing the telegram, Qin Li wrapped the radio station, hid it under the bluestone, moved the rice vat over again, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Today at Xinxin Cafe, Chang Hongling verbally relayed this information to him.
Yokoyama Isamu had always been at odds with his superior, Commander Okamura, but he had a good personal relationship with Masaharu Honma. He mentioned this military situation in the exchange of messages, with the original intention of expressing his dissatisfaction with the 11th Army being assigned as a vanguard again.
The value of Chang Hongling lies in this. Because of her Japanese identity and the fact that she is Hattori Hikoo's wife, the information she obtains is not comparable to that of ordinary intelligence agents.
This is also the main reason why Qin Li must marry Chang Hongling to Hattori Hikoo!...
