"Miss, what do you need?" Seeing Hattori Mina walk in, Qian Runmin greeted him attentively.
Hattori Mina "I want to grab a pair of stomach medicine."
"Is there a prescription?"
"It's a gentleman named Jiang. He recently bought some stomach medicine from you. He lives nearby." Hattori Mina turned around and pointed.
Qian Runmin pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, Mr. Jiang, I understand, please wait a moment."
While weighing the medicine, he asked seemingly casually, "Why didn't Mr. Jiang come?"
Hattori Mina: "He...has been very busy recently and can't come for ten and a half days."
"Oh, that's it." Qian Runmin thought in his mind that as long as he followed Mina Hattori, he would be able to find Jiang Xinyu.
Recently, the underground party has raised a batch of urgently needed supplies and is preparing to transport them out of the city. Jiang Xinyu needs secret cooperation to allow the vehicles to pass the checkpoint smoothly.
Since yesterday, Qian Runmin has placed a sign for Traditional Chinese Medicine Massage at the door. This is his code to request a connection, but Jiang Xinyu has not shown up yet.
——Jiang Xinyu also took this into consideration. If the organization has new task arrangements, Qian Runmin will definitely take this opportunity to find him. It is not difficult to track the unscrupulous Hattori Mina!
Hattori Mina walked out of the pharmacy carrying a bag of Chinese medicine. Qian Runmin said to the clerk, "Zhixin, look at the store. I'm going out."
"I know." Qian Zhixin agreed.
Hattori Mina first went to Jiang Xinyu's house, took two sets of changes of clothes, and packed them in a rattan box together with Chinese medicine. Then she locked the door and went to the street.
Because he knew Jiang Xinyu was not at home, Qian Runmin did not follow him too closely. He squatted on the street with his hands folded and watched the two old men playing chess, staring at the street entrance.
He soon discovered a strange thing. A rickshaw was waiting at the corner of the street. Someone wanted to ride in the rickshaw. The driver waved his hand to indicate that he was waiting for the customer. In fact, there was no customer asking him to wait.
Ten minutes later, Hattori Mina walked out carrying a rattan box. The coachman immediately pulled the car up to meet her and said attentively, "Miss, do you want a car?"
Hattori Mina nodded, carried the box and got into the car, and said, "Army hospital."
"Okay, take your seat." The driver pulled the cart and passed behind Qian Runmin at speed.
Qian Runmin immediately flagged down a rickshaw. The driver put down the handlebar and said, "Sir, where are you going?"
Qian Runmin got into the car and said, "Go east and I'll tell you where I get."
If a guest is lazy, the coachman won't ask too many questions, as long as the fare is a penny.
The rickshaw turned left at the intersection. Hattori Mina looked around and said, "Rickshaw driver, are you going the wrong way?"
The coachman said without looking back, "Miss, please relax, you can't make a mistake. There is a temporary road ahead and you are not allowed to leave. I will take you another way."
Hattori Mina didn't ask any more questions. Although she had been in Ijin for more than a year, she was still unfamiliar with many places, so she could only let the coachman pull her away.
The driver was walking on a small road. There were usually very few pedestrians and vehicles, and sometimes he would not see a single person for more than ten minutes. Under a small stone bridge was a tributary of the White River. Although the river was not wide, the deepest part was four or five meters deep.
The driver stopped the car, turned around and said, "Miss, please get off first."
Hattori Mina didn't know why and said, "What's wrong?"
The driver said apologetically, "There seems to be something wrong with the car. It will be repaired soon. I'm sorry."
Hattori Mina had no choice but to get out of the rickshaw and stood aside with the rattan box, watching the rickshaw driver tinkering under the rickshaw in a serious manner, unable to see what was wrong with the rickshaw.
A man wearing a black top hat walked over, glanced under the bridge, and suddenly exclaimed, "Someone is going to jump into the river!"
Hattori Mina was not far from the bridge. After hearing what he said, she leaned down and looked under the bridge. Sure enough, she saw a man sitting on the bank, staring blankly at the river.
"Go and persuade him quickly, don't think too hard..." Mina Hattori stamped her feet anxiously. She had preconceived notions that this man was really going to jump into the river.
Before she could finish her words, she felt someone hit her hard on the back of her neck. She felt dizzy and fainted immediately.
The black top hat and the coachman winked at each other, lifted Hattori Mina's arm, and threw her head down. "Plop!" with a sound, the water splashed over and fell into the river.
The coachman and the black top hat, including the man on the shore pretending to commit suicide, are all operatives of the military command. To deal with Hattori Mina, this simple method is the most direct and effective.
This path was very remote and Qian Runmin did not dare to follow too closely. He wanted to see what the rickshaw driver was up to. When the rickshaw he was riding in caught up, he happened to see the driver carrying Hattori Mina's rattan box and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The scene.
Seeking money and killing people!——This was Qian Runmin’s first reaction!
"Stop the car!" Qian Runmin hurriedly got out of the car, ran to the shore, took off his gown, and jumped into the river.
The river water in November was freezing cold, so Qian Runmin couldn't care less. He took a breath and dived into the water. Half a minute later, he dragged Mina Hattori and swam to the shore while treading water.
"Miss, wake up, wake up!" Qian Runmin was afraid of hitting Hattori Mina on the back and asked her to spit out as much water as possible.
More than a minute later, Hattori Mina woke up. She looked at Qian Runmin and said, "Thank you for saving me..."
Qian Runmin picked up the gown on the ground and handed it to Hattori Mina, saying, "It's very cold. You should put this on first to keep out the wind and cold."
Three military agents gathered around, and the order they received was that if Hattori Mina could not die "accidentally", they would kill her directly!
"What are you doing?" Qian Runmin realized then that things were not as simple as he thought.
"Get away! Mind your own business!" The coachman pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist.
"In broad daylight, don't you have any respect for the law?" Qian Runmin retreated while observing the situation around him.
"Come on!" The coachman stopped talking nonsense and rushed towards the frightened Hattori Mina with his knife.
Qian Runmin picked up half of the dead tree trunk beside him and whipped the driver to the back of the head.
"You are looking for death!"
The driver was hit in the face by a dead tree trunk, and the burning pain made him angry. He turned around and rushed towards Qian Runmin, while the other two people attacked him from behind.
Because the target they were dealing with was Hattori Mina, they did not bring guns today. Moreover, once the gunshots were fired, it would not be easy to escape if they were blocked here in broad daylight.
The driver on the bridge stared blankly, Qian Runmin picked up dead branches to block him, and yelled in the middle of his busy schedule, "Why are you looking at the excitement? Go find the police!"
The driver then realized what he was doing and hurriedly ran forward with the empty cart, shouting, "Help, there are bandits! There are bandits!"
When he shouted, the three military commanders became a little anxious. If they didn't solve this matter, they might be in danger of being arrested!
Hattori Mina's body was dripping with water, and her lips were blue and purple from the cold. She stood up shivering, tightly wrapped in Qian Runmin's gown.
"Run, what are you waiting for!" Qian Runmin urged loudly.
The black top hat shouted loudly and rushed forward. Amid Hattori Mina's screams, Qian Runmin was knocked to the ground by the opponent.
He kicked off his black top hat and was about to stand up when the coachman rushed over and said, "Poof!" He stabbed Qian Runmin's abdomen with his knife!
"I'm sorry, it's you who is looking for death!" the coachman said, glaring at Qian Runmin.
"Run -" Qian Runmin yelled one word, punched the coachman in the face, then staggered a few steps, covering the wound with one hand and lying on the ground.
