Hattori Hikoo pointed to the drawer and said, "Mina, did you take the things inside?"
Hattori Mina glanced at Jiang Xinyu, and then said confidently: "Take it!"
Hattori Hikoo suppressed his anger and said, "What did you take?"
"Took a pass."
"What are you doing with it?"
"It's somewhat useful..."
"Mina, how old are you, and you are still acting so willfully?"
"I'm not messing around..." Hattori Mina muttered in a low voice.
"Where's the pass? Bring it!"
Hattori Mina secretly glanced at her brother's face and said hesitantly: "I can't get it back... I was worried that my uncle and aunt were not safe on the road, so I gave them the pass..."
Hattori Hikoo was so angry that he was speechless for a long time. He turned to look at Jiang Xinyu for a long time and said slowly: "Captain Jiang, I want to hear your explanation!"
Hattori Mina quickly said: "Brother, this matter has nothing to do with Xinyu, it is my own idea..."
"Shut up! I'll settle the score with you later!" Hattori Hikoo glared at his sister.
Hattori Mina pouted and angrily sat down with her back to her brother.
Jiang Xinyu bowed and said: "I was just about to tell you about this... My parents have been in poor health since they arrived in Yanjin. I was worried that their condition would get worse over time, so I didn't have time to say hello to you, so I
They sent it away."
Hattori Hikoo said coldly: "Is it because I didn't have time to say hello, or because I didn't want to tell me at all?"
Jiang Xinyu: "You told me that you want my parents to live in Yanjin...I'm worried that you will stop..."
Hattori Hikoo knew full well that the matter of stealing the pass was unlikely to be his sister's idea. It was most likely Jiang Xinyu's instigation.
How should this matter be handled? Jiang Xinyu's parents are just ordinary people. Holding passes from the gendarmerie can indeed play a role in ensuring safety along the way.
Out of concern for his parents, it seems reasonable for Jiang Xinyu, a son of a human being, to do this. Besides, he has his sister as a shield for him...
Thinking of this, Hattori Hikoo forced out a fake smile and said: "Captain Jiang, actually you misunderstood, I just made a suggestion, the final decision is in your own hands. How can I force others to do things they don't like?
"
"I'm sorry, I'm just a villain." Jiang Xinyu said pretending to be ashamed.
Hattori Hikoo waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you serve the imperial army loyally, even if you make some minor mistakes, it's not a problem for me!"
Jiang Xinyu bowed and said, "Thank you, Major, for your magnanimity!"
"Let this matter go as it is. Write a letter and tell your parents that the pass must be destroyed as soon as possible. The country is not a river. If someone discovers it, it will cause trouble for them."
"I already gave them instructions when we got in the car."
Jiang Xinyu knew that since the matter was irreversible, Hattori Hikoo would certainly say some nice words of favor. If he didn't have that pass, he would probably find an excuse to intercept his parents back!
Hattori Mina breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have thought of it a long time ago, brother will not be so unreasonable!"
Hattori Hikoo said with a straight face: "Mina, I must warn you, this is the first and last time that you will steal a pass!"
"I got it." Hattori Mina agreed, secretly winking at Jiang Xinyu.
Hattori Hikoo shook his head helplessly. He was fierce and decisive outside, but he was helpless with his sister. He didn't know how to discipline him. She didn't care if it was a minor matter, but he couldn't bear it if it was a serious matter.
"Major, if there's nothing else, I'm sending Mina back."
"One more thing. All members of the detective team will be dispatched tomorrow to conduct surveillance outside Songdao Street. If any suspicious persons are found, they will be detained for one day regardless of the reason."
"yes!"
Jiang Xinyu and Hattori Mina came out of the team headquarters and vaguely heard Hattori Hikoo making a phone call: "Lock all the drawers in the team headquarters..."
…………
The next morning, Songdao Street.
Kagawa Nisaku and several military medical officers were waiting outside the door early, talking in low voices from time to time.
"Section Chief Kagawa, it's already nine o'clock. Is Commander Shun Tada coming?"
"Be patient, there may be a traffic jam on the road."
"I really don't understand. As long as martial law is implemented in the Hongqiao area, all problems will be solved..."
"What do you know! Commander Tada Shun wants to see the harmonious scene of Japan-China friendship..."
"I'm coming!……"
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
More than a dozen motorcycles cleared the way, followed by several black cars, followed by a truckload of Japanese military police armed with live ammunition, led by Jiro Sakai himself.
The motorcade stopped in front of the water supply and epidemic prevention department one after another. Many people passing by stopped to watch, wondering which big shot was coming, and it was so grand.
The door of the car at the end opened. Hattori Hikoo got out of the car first, walked a few steps to the two cars in the middle, reached out and opened the door.
A Japanese officer with the rank of lieutenant general got out of the car. He was Jun Tada, the commander of the North China Front. Then the door on the other side opened, and a woman with the rank of Japanese major also got out of the car.
"General Tada, please!" Hattori Hikoo bowed and said.
Tada Shun looked at the busy traffic in the distance, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Well... very good, Ijin can maintain prosperity and stability, and Major Hattori is indispensable!"
Hattori Hikoo said humbly: "I don't dare take it seriously. These are all things that are part of the humble position!"
The female officer said: "Major Hattori, I heard that you caught the Communists who wanted to commit crimes against Lao Qiu. This is a great achievement."
Hattori Hikoo: "Miss Yoshiko, I feel ashamed to say that although I caught Lao Qiu, I didn't get any valuable information from him."
Nissaku Kagawa stepped towards us, gave a military salute with both feet, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Nissaku Kagawa, Section Chief of the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department, is waiting for you!"
Tada Shun looked at him and said: "General Ishii said you are a rare talent, I hope you will not let me down!"
Nissaku Kagawa bowed and said: "I must try my best to do my humble job..."
"boom!"
A sudden gunshot interrupted Kagawa Nissaku's words.
Hattori Hikoo shouted: "Protect General Tada!"
More than a dozen military policemen immediately protected Shun Tada, guns drawn, looking for the attacker.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the crowd watching the excitement in the distance suddenly became chaotic. People fled in all directions, fearing that the exchange of fire between the two sides would cause accidental injuries.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two more shots were fired in succession, and now everyone could see clearly that the gunman's target was not Shun Tada, but Major Yoshiko!
Hattori Hikoo observed for a moment and said loudly: "The gunman is on the roof across the street, at 10 o'clock!"
