Hattori Hikoo: "Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, it's been more than two hours since the interrogation, and you still haven't pried open their mouths?"
Miyamoto put his feet together and said with a look of shame, "You are incompetent!"
"Use this more often when dealing with communists!" Hattori Hikoo pointed to his head.
Seeing that Miyamoto still looked puzzled, Hattori Hikoo said, "The guns found in the rice vat were hidden under the pillow. What does this mean?"
Miyamoto hesitated and said, "It means... they were unprepared..."
Hattori Hikoo nodded and said, "You are only half right. You ignored the most important point!"
"Major, please clarify!"
"They probably just completed their mission and after returning home, they hid the gun in the rice vat and prepared to put it in the place where the gun was supposed to be hidden tomorrow. I believe that it will be difficult for us to find that place."
"...Why didn't they just hide the guns?"
"Maybe the task required some physical strength. They were too tired. In addition, it was raining heavily outside, and their vigilance was not as strong as before. Just stuffing it under the pillow shows their mental state."
"What do you mean?..."
"Immediately send someone to take their photos and find out where they went yesterday. Using this as a clue, we may be able to dig out other Communists!"
"yes!"
"Don't go to investigate in a big way, so as not to alert others!"
"clear!"
"The Communist Party member who was shot to death must also continue to be investigated, starting from his interpersonal relationships. Anyone who is suspicious will be assigned special personnel to secretly monitor him!"
"Yes!...Major, what should we do with the other people we captured last night?"
"Is there any confession?"
"No, they are all shouting injustice..."
"Brother..." The door banged and Hattori Mina walked in. Seeing the presence of outsiders, she quickly calmed down the expression on her face.
Hattori Hikoo said to Miyamoto, "Let's check on the Bao brothers first, and leave everything else alone."
"yes!"
Miyamoto bowed slightly to Hattori Mina, then walked out.
"Mina, I've told you a hundred times, knock on the door, knock on the door, why can't you remember!" Hattori Hikoo shook his head helplessly.
"I thought you were in the room by yourself, but who would have thought that Miyamoto was also there..." Hattori Mina sat on a chair, playing with the pen at hand.
"What are you here for?"
"You didn't come home all night and no one answered your phone calls. Ayako was worried about it and asked me to come over and take a look."
Hattori Hikoo sneered, "Missing me? Why doesn't she come by herself?"
Hattori Mina looked at her brother, frowned and said, "Brother, it's just been a few days, what's wrong with you?"
Hattori Hikoo waved his hand and said, "Nothing...what is Ayako doing?"
Hattori Mina said word by word, "She is taking medicine!"
Hattori Hikoo's eyes flashed and he asked, "What medicine should I take?"
"What else could it be? It's the kind of pregnancy medicine prescribed in hospitals."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"After breakfast, Ayako ate it in front of me. I even saw the medicine bottle."
Hattori Hikoo murmured, "She's still acting!"
Hattori Mina didn't hear what her brother said, and complained to herself, "If you ask me, you really wronged Ayako and said she didn't eat those things. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, what else can you say?"
Hattori Hikoo said calmly, "Mina, remember what my brother said, sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth!"
Hattori Mina sighed and said, "Brother, you still don't believe Ayako. I feel sorry for her. Do you know why she doesn't come to the military police on her own?"
"Why?"
"Mina is rushing to attend a private party of an officer's wife."
"Are boring gatherings between women more important than their husbands?"
"Mrs. Shimomura is also present at the party. Ayako knows that Commander Shimomura has some opinions about you, so she wants to make friends with Mrs. Shimomura and help you say more good things."
"Oh..." Hattori Hikoo thought, this is really a good idea.
Hattori Mina "If you ask me, Ayako really cares about you!"
"Ayako asked you to say these words?"
"No, Ayako didn't let me tell you, I couldn't help myself..."
Hattori Hikoo was a little confused for a moment. What was his wife thinking? If she had no objection, why did she take birth control pills without telling him...
"Report!"
"Come in."
A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle appearance walked in, bowed and saluted and said, "Major, Taro Suga is here to return to life!"
Hattori Hikoo: "Thank you for your hard work, Suga-kun. Is everything going well?"
"Although it took a lot of effort, it went smoothly. I temporarily arranged them in a youth hotel, and people from the martial arts school were secretly monitoring them."
Hattori Hikoo glanced at his sister and said, "You can't call her surveillance, it should be secret protection!"
"yes."
"Suga-kun, go back and have a good rest. I will inform you if anything happens."
"Yes." Taro Suga turned around and retreated.
Hattori Mina said in confusion, "Brother, who is this person? He looks very handsome."
Hattori Hikoo's mood suddenly seemed to improve a lot, and he said, "His name is Suga Taro, and he is from the Red Bridge Martial Arts Hall."
"oh……"
"Do you know what this person's greatest strength is?"
"I don't know him, how can I know?"
"He has been in Yanjin for nearly ten years and can speak Chinese more fluently than me!"
Hattori Mina said disapprovingly, "What's this advantage? My current Chinese speaking even Xinyu can't recognize the accent."
Hattori Hikoo did not argue with his sister and said with a smile, "Mina, I don't remember that I once said that I wanted to give Jiang Xinyu a surprise."
Hattori Mina: "Yes, it's been so long, where's the surprise?"
Hattori Hikoo took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "Taro Suga went to Zhejiang and he brought back two people. This is my surprise for Jiang Xinyu!"
Hattori Mina held her chin and said, "The more I listen, the more confused I become. What does his going to Zhejiang have to do with Xinyu?"
Hattori Hikoo: "These two people brought back by Taro Suga are Jiang Xinyu's parents. Do you think they are related to him?"
Hattori Mina opened her mouth in surprise, looked at her brother in confusion, and said nothing for a long time.
"Why, aren't you happy to hear the news?" Hattori Hikoo still kept a smile on his face.
After a while, Hattori Mina recovered and said anxiously, "Brother, how could you do this!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"How could you bring his parents here without Xinyu's consent?"
Hattori Hikoo said slowly, "Jiang Xinyu said that he would take you to Jiangshan to meet his parents during the Spring Festival. I will bring him to Yanjin for him. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"
