"Bring the shopkeeper back too!" Hattori Hikoo ordered.
The shopkeeper's surname is Zhou. He is about forty years old. He doesn't smile or talk to anyone. He is the kind of businessman who seems to be good at playing both sides.
The military police refused to comment and put Shopkeeper Zhou and Mao Lin into the truck.
Jiang Xinyu: "Major, how did you know that Shopkeeper Zhou is Mao Lin's comrade?"
Hattori Hikoo: "Without the secret help of the shopkeeper, Mao Lin would not be able to freely enter and exit the teahouse through the back door. Also, if you take a look at the furnishings in the teahouse, don't you think it's strange?"
"I'm sorry for being stupid, but I don't see anything wrong." Jiang Xinyu looked confused. In fact, he had seen the key points, but he couldn't act too smart in everything.
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said: "As long as it is not too loud, the guests at the two tables will never hear each other's conversations. Obviously, this is an intelligence contact point, and the distance between the tables is deliberately widened to make the connection safer!
Of course, if what happened today had not happened, I would not have thought of this!"
Jiang Xinyu praised: "I have to say, Major, you are really a considerate person!"
Watching the police and military police searching the teahouse, Jiang Xinyu wondered who Mao Lin and Shopkeeper Zhou were.
If the military commander sends someone to carry out an assassination operation, the Chongqing headquarters should notify itself in advance, and it is even more impossible for the underground party...
Apart from these two secret service organizations, there is only one possibility left - they are members of the Central Government!
evening.
Jiang Xinyu bought a few tomatoes at the vegetable market, and planned to go home and make a bowl of tomato dumpling soup, and then heat up the leftover steamed buns from the morning to make his own dinner.
"Ring ring ring ring ring!" the phone rang.
Putting down the washed tomatoes, Jiang Xinyu wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen to answer the phone.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Why are you back? I've called several times." Hattori Mina's voice came on the phone.
"I came back early. I guess the Major hasn't gone home yet, right?"
"Brother is not coming back tonight. He said he has military affairs. I don't know where all the military affairs come from... Have you eaten?"
"Just getting ready to eat."
"Come to my house. Mother Liang has cooked a lot of dishes. If my brother doesn't come back, Lingzi and I won't be able to finish them..."
"It's no fun if we chat. Why don't we talk about it when we meet?" Chang Hongling's voice could be heard faintly on the phone.
Hattori Mina defended: "There is no end, I just said two sentences..."
Jiang Xinyu was about to discuss what happened today with Chang Hongling, so he said, "Okay, I'll go right away. See you later."
"see you later."
The time was neither too early nor too late. The sky had just darkened. Jiang Xinyu did not turn on his headlights along the way. About half an hour later, the car slowly stopped outside Hattori's courtyard.
A figure was wandering not far away. He saw a car approaching. He took two steps forward and planned to greet it. He suddenly stopped and quickly disappeared into the night.
Jiang Xinyu's heart moved. Such a strange behavior could only mean one thing. In the poor light, the other party recognized the wrong car!
Normally, only Hattori Hikoo's car would often park at this door. That person probably thought he was Hattori Hikoo and turned around and left when he realized something was wrong.
Therefore, one thing can be basically concluded, he is afraid of being seen!
The question is, what this man did just now was obviously not to guard against Hattori Hikoo, so why was he so sneaky... Could he be spying on himself?
Jiang Xinyu immediately denied this possibility. If it was a spy monitoring him, there would be no misidentification of the car.
"Liang Ma, let's have dinner." Seeing Jiang Xinyu come in, Hattori Mina greeted him hurriedly.
Chang Hongling took out two bottles of German beer and said to Jiang Xinyu: "This is a gift from the German minister to Commander Shimomura, and Mrs. Shimomura gave it to me. Captain Jiang is a good drinker. How does it taste?"
"Ms. Shimomura sent a box, and you just took out two bottles. Isn't that stingy?" Hattori Mina said unhappily.
Chang Hongling smiled and said: "If you're not worried about Captain Jiang drinking too much, just go get it."
"I can drink a bottle of beer, how could I drink too much..." As she spoke, Hattori Mina got up and went upstairs to get the wine.
Chang Hongling shook her head slightly and sighed: "It's too easy for Mei Na to be fooled..."
Jiang Xinyu whispered: "Who is responsible for what happened on Songdao Street?"
"Zhongtong."
"It's really them..."
"The top brass issued a kill order for Yoshiko Kawashima. Director Xu of the Central Committee took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to show his face in front of the committee. They never had the chance to take action in Peiping..."
"You can't act recklessly if you don't have a chance. There were more than a hundred military police yesterday, not counting people from the peripheral police stations and detective teams."
"Those guys from the Central Military Commission are good at conducting internal investigations, but when it comes to operational tasks, they are not their forte at all? Xu En once wanted to suppress our military commander..."
Midway through her words, Chang Hongling shut up, and Hattori Mina walked downstairs happily with two bottles of beer in one hand.
Jiang Xinyu: "Mina, you took too much."
Hattori Mina put the beer on the table, sat down next to Jiang Xinyu, and said, "It doesn't matter, Ayako and I will drink some too."
Chang Hongling smiled and said: "Hattori-kun is not at home, and you, the monkey, will become the king."
Hattori Mina pouted and said, "What are you afraid of? If you drink some beer at home, my brother won't care if he finds out."
The food was indeed sumptuous, and there was even a plate of Pippi shrimps, which were served steaming hot and smelled delicious.
"Actually, eating Pipi shrimp will be the most delicious in two months. It's still a little early." Hattori Mina picked up a Pipi shrimp and carefully peeled off the shell.
Chang Hongling covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Mina, do you remember that when we were in Manchuria, we called this kind of shrimp shrimp crawler? When we came to Yanjin, we changed our name."
Hattori Mina also laughed and said, "Yes, we in Japan call them mantis shrimps, and they are much bigger than this."
Jiang Xinyu: “There is water, soil and people in one place, and each place has a different name.”
Hattori Mina asked curiously: "Does it have many names?"
Jiang Xinyu explained: "I have been to Qingdao, where they call it shrimp and tiger. Cantonese people call it peeing shrimp. There seems to be another place where it is called rich shrimp. In short, it is all kinds of weird."
Hattori Mina put the peeled shrimp on Jiang Xinyu's plate and said: "The name of Fugui Shrimp is nice. If you eat it, you will become rich!"
Jiang Xinyu: "Mina, I'll peel the shrimp myself, you can eat it."
Hattori Mina: "Actually, I don't really like eating shrimps..."
"It's really enviable that you treat each other like guests." Chang Hongling sighed sincerely.
Hattori Mina stood up with a red face and said: "I'm going to wash my hands after talking nonsense..."
Watching Hattori Mina walk into the bathroom, Chang Hongling spread her hands like a magic trick, showed Jiang Xinyu a pill, smiled proudly, and then threw it into her mouth.
