The gendarmerie prison was overcrowded, with more than a dozen people in each cell. Only Zeng Che was held in solitary confinement. The gendarmerie unlocked the cell door, moved a chair in, and then retreated outside.
Jiang Xinyu knew that Hiko Hattori had removed everyone on the surface, as if he was creating a conversation environment for himself, but secretly he must have installed a listening device. For now, his trust in him still had limits.
"You..." Hearing the door knock, Zeng Che slowly raised his head.
Jiang Xinyu glanced at him and said, "Mr. Zeng, I am the person who gave you a blood transfusion the day before yesterday. My surname is Jiang."
Zeng Che forced himself to sit up, nodded and said, "I remember you...what are you doing here?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zeng, as the saying goes, the body is shaped by its parents. Why do you have to put yourself in a desperate situation for the sake of some illusory doctrine?"
He was talking, with his hands on the small square table, transmitting information in Morse code: Boss Dai asked you to fake a surrender, and make plans later.
"Are you a lobbyist for the Japanese? Don't think that just because you saved me once, you can say these shameless nonsense in front of me!"
Zeng Che tapped the bed board with his fingers: No. If I surrender, it will be another blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the war! Tell Director Dai that from the day of my arrest, I have decided to commit suicide and hope that my life will be successful.
A passionate person can awaken more Chinese people!!
Jiang Xinyu: The enemy is not planning to kill you immediately, but is going to torture you for a long time!
Zeng Che: I know. Have you got the suitcase?
Jiang Xinyu: I got it. Inside is a transmitter, which has been sent to Mr. Ge.
Zeng Che: How do you know Morse code?
Jiang Xinyu: When the police station was searching the contact point of the Central Military Commission, they accidentally found a book on Morse code. I found it in a secret compartment of a drawer. I thought there were banknotes or other things hidden in the book, so I could take advantage of it when no one was paying attention.
, just put it in your pocket.
Zeng Che: Are you self-taught?
Jiang Xinyu: Yes, I studied intermittently for two years.
Zeng Che: When did the inspection of the Central Unification Contact Point begin?
Jiang Xinyu: Two years ago, Lao Xia Tea House.
Zeng Che remembered that Lao Xia Tea House was indeed the contact point of the Central Government. Because of the traitor's betrayal, it was raided by the Military Police Joint Police Station. According to Jiang Xinyu, he also participated in that arrest.
Zeng Che: Although I was arrested, Yanjin Station was not injured. I asked Boss Dai to appoint a new station manager as soon as possible.
Jiang Xinyu: I understand.
They communicated in Morse code. In order not to arouse Hattori Hikoo's suspicion, they could not stop talking. Jiang Xinyu kept persuading Zeng Che.
"Mr. Zeng, the Major said that as long as you agree to surrender, the terms can be negotiated, and you can even work in Nanjing and Shanghai."
"Stop talking, I'm not interested!"
"You should know that your so-called expeditionary force was defeated by the imperial army in Burma..."
"Jiang, I still treat you as a person, don't make me curse!"
"What I said is true. The imperial army is unstoppable in Southeast Asia..."
"Bah! Keep your mouth shut Imperial Army, you have time to look in the mirror and see your disgusting face! Lackey!"
"Mr. Zeng, how can you hurt others with your words..."
"Get out of here!"
"Mr. Zeng, look at this fragrant beef, tsk tsk, it really makes people drool. Let me tell you, even if you don't want to surrender, you still have to have a full stomach..."
"If you like to eat, just take it! You traitor!"
Zeng Che reached out to pick up the bowl of beef stew with radish and used all his strength to splash the soup and water all over Jiang Xinyu's face.
Jiang Xinyu jumped up from his chair and cursed: "Damn it, if the imperial army hadn't wanted to keep you alive, I would have killed you right now!"
The success in persuading him to surrender was an unexpected surprise, but the failure in persuading him to surrender was expected. Hattori Hikoo was very satisfied with Jiang Xinyu's performance. He felt that he had not misjudged the person. At least from the current point of view, this Chinese had no second thoughts!
…………
The Chinese restaurant of Asia Hotel is next to the Japanese restaurant, both on the second floor of the hotel. A dozen police sergeants from the Hongqiao Police Department booked a private room in advance, saying they wanted to celebrate Jiang Xinyu's promotion. They were so warmly welcomed that they couldn't resist.
Jiang Xinyu had no choice but to let them go.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xinyu drove to the Asia Hotel. As soon as he parked the car, he saw Chang Hongling getting out of a rickshaw and paying the fare.
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment, pushed the door open and got out of the car, saying hello from a distance: "Hello, Miss Ayako."
Chang Hongling was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Hello, Officer Jiang."
The two people walked into the hotel lobby together.
"Officer Jiang, are you alone?" Chang Hongling suspected that Jiang Xinyu was following her.
"No, my colleagues from the police station and I were having dinner at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor."
"oh……"
"Miss Ayako, it's been very chaotic outside recently. It's best to stay in the hotel at night."
"Thank you for your concern. Have you not been with Mina recently?" Chang Hongling carried her satchel and walked up the stairs.
"Two days ago, we watched a movie..."
A drunk man walked towards me. When he saw the beautiful woman, he immediately started to think wrongly and deliberately swayed left and right while walking. Chang Hongling tried to avoid it twice, but with a "pop!", she took off her bag and dropped it behind her.
on the stairs.
Jiang Xinyu took two steps back, bent down to pick up the satchel and handed it to Chang Hongling, saying, "Miss Lingzi, are you okay?"
"Thank you, I'm fine. I'm going back first, goodbye." Chang Hongling took the satchel.
The drunk man chuckled: "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now..."
Chang Hongling glared at him and walked over quickly.
Jiang Xinyu passed by the drunk man, suddenly bumped his ribs with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Will you feel better after just bumping?"
The drunk man couldn't say anything in pain. He squatted on the stairs and screamed.
Jiang Xinyu used some tactics to punish the guy who took advantage of the woman. Chang Hongling saw it, but she didn't say anything and walked up the stairs to the fourth floor guest room.
Jiang Xinyu felt a little strange. He had just picked up Chang Hongling's satchel and it felt very heavy. Normally, a woman's satchel would contain at most two or three cosmetics besides her wallet. What could be so heavy on the hand?
In the private room of the Chinese restaurant, the police sergeants were already waiting impatiently. Seeing Jiang Xinyu come in, they quickly ordered the waiter: "The master is here, let the kitchen serve the food."
Jiang Xinyu sat down, looked around, and said, "Isn't Ray-Ban here yet?"
"In the afternoon, Ray-Ban answered a phone call and left early without saying hello."
