Li Xiance took out a piece of paper from his arms and said to Jiang Xinyu: "I'll give you a sneak peek of the exciting news!"
This is a mimeographed leaflet. It contains the news that the US military continues to bomb the Japanese mainland. Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe, the three major industrial towns, have not been spared!
"Have you found Ma Peiqu?" Jiang Xinyu said while browsing the flyers.
"Not yet. Could he have left Yanjin?"
"Of course it's best to leave. I'm afraid he will hide on purpose!"
"It doesn't matter, Ray-Ban is still dormant. Even if Ma Peiqu doesn't give up, he can't find new evidence!"
"That's good...how did Mao Yonggui handle it?"
"killed."
Jiang Xinyu took a sniff and saw that the leaflet had a strong smell of ink, indicating that it had just been printed not long ago, so he asked: "Where did the leaflet come from? Why didn't I see it on the way here?"
"As soon as I left home this morning, I posted it on the wall of the apartment."
"oh……"
"I heard that the Communist Party has an underground printing factory in Yanjin. They must have done this kind of thing."
"possible."
Jiang Xinyu calculated in his mind that the underground printing factory was probably near the apartment, otherwise the flyers would not have such a strong smell of ink. After they got the flyers, they must have distributed them randomly from near to far.
"I heard that the Communist Army has recently started to take the initiative to attack enemy strongholds and gun towers frequently. Small-scale battles occur from time to time. The actions are consistent at the same time, which shows that they have received instructions from higher-ups!"
"Not long ago, one of their county brigade raided Jing County, and the enemy suffered considerable losses."
Li Xiance sighed and said: "Look at what people call foresight. When you are strong, I will not fight you. When you are weak, I will come up with a combination of punches!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "The whole people are resisting the war. I think this is a good thing. It also shows that the Japanese are exhausted!"
Li Xiance nodded, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said, "It's almost time to go to work, I should go."
"good!"
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. The newspaper office will hold a readers' party tomorrow night. Customers who subscribe to the newspaper for the whole year will be invited. You will also come to participate. It will be very helpful for our open communication in the future!"
"knew."
On the way back, Jiang Xinyu drove to Xinman Girls' High School. He promised Hattori Mina to come and have dinner with her at noon today.
From a distance, I saw Hattori Mina standing at the school gate, walking back and forth, looking at her watch from time to time.
"Beep!"
Jiang Xinyu honked the car horn twice, rolled down the window and waved to Hattori Mina.
"Why are you here? I'm so cold!" Hattori Mina walked over quickly.
"I have some official business at the moment...why don't you wait in the classroom?"
"What if you thought I was gone?"
"How could it be? We agreed to see you there. If I don't see you, I will come into the classroom to look for you."
Hattori Mina rubbed her hands and muttered, "Just wear a singlet in Osaka this season, but here you have to wear a jacket."
"Yanjin is like this. It's warm and then cold in March and April. If it were in the south, it would be much warmer than here."
Hattori Mina was lost in thought for a while and murmured: "I wonder what they are doing now..."
While driving, Jiang Xinyu asked casually: "Who do you think of?"
"Those childhood playmates, at this time of year, we would go to the beach to play... Xinyu, if we have a chance, we will go to Osaka, you will definitely like it there!"
“What fun places are there in Osaka?”
"There are many, such as the castle tower, Tennoji Temple... and my favorite place is Nishinomaru Garden. When spring comes, the garden is full of beautiful cherry blossoms..."
Jiang Xinyu knew that Mina Hattori probably didn't know about the bombing of Osaka. The Japanese had blocked information that was detrimental to them, and it was even more impossible for Hiko Hattori to tell his sister such a thing.
The car stopped in front of a Japanese restaurant. Jiang Xinyu glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a person following furtively not far behind him.
"Xinyu, the assorted tempura here is particularly delicious, you must try it."
"Do you come often?"
"It's close to school. My classmates and I have been here twice."
While talking, the two of them walked into the restaurant.
Due to the arrival of a large number of Japanese immigrants, in Japanese restaurants in Yanjin, in addition to the cooks, basically the waiters and other handymen are also Japanese. Nowadays, all industries are depressed, and it is difficult for them to find a suitable job.
not easy.
"Welcome!" Mr. Hattori said respectfully.
Jiang Xinyu looked around. On the left was the terrace and on the right were private rooms of different sizes. He said, "Find us a quiet private room."
"Please come this way." The waiter led them to the innermost private room No. 8.
"Xinyu, what do you want to eat?" Hattori Mina asked as she took the menu.
"Whatever." Jiang Xinyu took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.
Hattori Mina pretended to be angry: "It's always casual, how can there be such a dish as casual..."
At this time, the waiter's voice came from outside to greet the guests: "Welcome!"
Seeing that the guest didn't respond, the waiter immediately switched to blunt Chinese and said: "Sir, are you looking for someone, or are you having a meal?"
"Eat." The guest replied dully.
"Are you alone?"
"right."
"Please follow me." The waiter made an inviting gesture toward the left side of the platform.
"I want a private room." The guest stood still.
"This way, please." The waiter opened the door to private room No. 6.
The guest pointed to the private room No. 7. He did not say anything, but his meaning was obvious. He wanted to sit in the private room No. 7.
For restaurants, it doesn't matter where the guests sit. The waiter closes No. 6 and opens the door to No. 7 private room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing repeatedly outside, Jiang Xinyu decided to go out and take a look. Recently, he always felt that someone was spying on him secretly, and he had never seen the true face of that person in Lushan.
"Mina, you order the food, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes."
"Um."
There was a cigarette stall not far outside the restaurant. After Jiang Xinyu bought the cigarettes, he returned to the restaurant, walked to the door of private room No. 7, and reached out to open the door.
There was a young man sitting in the private room, wearing round glasses on the bridge of his nose, wearing a gray tunic suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked like a student.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu suddenly come in, the round glasses looked very flustered, and stammered: "You, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Xinyu didn't recognize this person and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong door."
The round glasses breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It doesn't matter."
Jiang Xinyu was very puzzled. He originally suspected that the person monitoring him was Ma Peiqu, but he didn't expect it to be a stranger. Judging from this person's behavior, he did not look like an experienced spy.
