Jiang Xinyu pretended to be shopkeeper Huang, and said to Lei Pen: "When I meet an acquaintance, I'll go over and say a few words."
Lei Ban didn't pay attention. The captain of the detective team had a wide range of friends, so it was normal for him to meet acquaintances.
Jiang Xinyu stood up and walked over, saying, "Shopkeeper Huang, are you eating?"
Shopkeeper Huang: "Hey, it's Captain Jiang. Nice to meet you."
Jiang Xinyu sat down and shopkeeper Huang whispered: "There is news from Peiping that the special commissioner has been arrested. I heard that he will be escorted back to Yanjin soon. The instructions from above require us to be ready to retreat at any time!!"
This is a necessary precaution. Li Xiance has a different identity. He has the situation of everyone at the Yanjin Military Command Station. If he betrays and surrenders to the enemy, the losses will be immeasurable!
Shopkeeper Huang continued: "The Tofu Fang contact station is temporarily closed. In case of emergency, you can go to No. 7, Yunhe North Street. The password remains the same!"
Jiang Xinyu: "Okay, I understand."
Then he stood up and said loudly: "Hold on tight, I can't help you if you delay any longer!"
Shopkeeper Huang lowered his eyebrows, cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said politely: "I'm sure, thank you Captain Jiang!"
Returning to his table, Jiang Xinyu picked up the sheep's hooves, took a few bites, and said, "We are not active in offering copper and iron. This guy thinks we are all living Bodhisattvas who eat fast and chant Buddha's name!"
Lei Ban suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I thought he was your friend, but he turned out to be an unlucky guy!"
After finishing the bowl of noodles quickly, shopkeeper Huang paid the bill. When he passed by Jiang Xinyu's table, he nodded humbly and left in a hurry.
Lei Pen and Jiang Xinyu clinked their wine glasses and said, "Those who are getting married soon should do more good deeds on weekdays!"
Jiang Xinyu: "If you tell me, it will sound like I am a heinous bad guy!"
Lei Ban raised his neck and drained the glass of wine, and said in a low voice: "Xin Yu, I am sincerely doing your best. Look at what's going on outside. Smart people are taking steps to save themselves.
The Japanese ronin who showed off his power with the Japanese sword restrained himself..."
Jiang Xinyu made a stop gesture and said: "Leiban, the scar has healed and you have forgotten the pain, right? Let me tell you, if the Japanese get the handle again, I won't be able to save you!"
Lei Ban said nonchalantly: "Now that I am a human being with my tail between my legs, how can the Japanese arrest me?"
Jiang Xinyu thought to himself that a character like Lei Ban was not suitable for being an intelligence officer anyway. He trusted the people around him too easily, which was a fatal weakness!
When we returned to the detective team, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Xinyu was surprised by Li Xiance's arrest. He had thought that everything had been arranged in Peking and it wouldn't be difficult to get rid of one or two agents.
What he didn't know was that Hattori Hikoo guessed Li Xiance's intentions and not only sent people to secretly monitor him, but also notified the Peking Military Police and laid a dragnet in advance.
Jiang Xinyu reached out and pressed the alarm bell under the table. After a while, Zhao Yuhu opened the door and walked in.
"Is Li Kai back?"
"not yet."
"Have all our people been dispatched?"
"According to your instructions, we have all been sent out."
"When Li Kai comes back, ask him to come see me immediately!"
"knew."
"Ring ring ring ring!" the phone rang.
Zhao Yuhu reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello...oh, please wait a moment."
He covered the phone receiver and said to Jiang Xinyu, "It's Major Hattori."
Jiang Xinyu quickly picked up the phone, waved Zhao Yuhu out, and said, "Major, what are your instructions?"
Hattori Hikoo: "A city-wide manhunt, joint military and police operations, where have you, the detective captain, gone?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Reporting to Major, a colleague from the police station died of illness. I went to visit to express my condolences. In addition, the entire detective team has been dispatched for a large-scale manhunt..."
Hattori Hikoo interrupted him and said: "Do you think the death of a colleague is more important than the search for rebels?"
Jiang Xinyu did not defend himself and said respectfully: "I know I am wrong because of my humble position!"
Hattori Hikoo softened his tone and said:
: "Just this once, never again!"
"Thank you Major!"
"In addition, tomorrow you will go to Peiping to escort important prisoners back to Yanjin. You can just wait at home. Second Lieutenant Miyamoto will pick you up."
"Do we need someone from the detective team?"
"unnecessary."
"clear!"
Jiang Xinyu knew very well that the so-called important prisoner was undoubtedly Li Xiance. What did Hattori Hikoo mean by sending him to escort him? Another test?...
Ten minutes later, the phone rang again, "Ring ring ring ring ring!"
"Hello……"
"Where have you been? I've been looking for you all morning, but no one answered the phone!" Hattori Mina's voice came on the phone.
"looking for me?"
"Jufu City Amusement Park will open tomorrow. I want you to accompany me to see it."
"Not tomorrow, just wait until I come back."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going on a business trip to Peking tomorrow."
"Going to Peking?"
"right."
"How long will it take?"
"I'm not sure, I guess it's only a day or two at most."
"Xinyu, can you take me with you?"
"How can that be possible? I'm going to perform official duties, not travel around!"
Hattori Mina said gloomily: "I haven't been to Peiping yet. I heard there are many places of interest there."
Jiang Xinyu said comfortingly: "There are always opportunities. If you don't have to wait any longer, I will take you to Peking to have fun for a few days."
"Liar, how can you never be busy..."
"Hang up now, I have something else to do here."
"All right……"
An hour later, the phone rang again.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Go to Peking tomorrow, let Mina go with you." Hattori Hikoo's voice on the phone was helpless.
"Major, how can this be possible..."
"I can't help but pester her. Second Lieutenant Miyamoto and the Peiping authorities will go through the prisoner handover procedures. It will take half a day anyway. Just take her around."
"……yes!"
Early the next morning.
"Tuk-" the doorbell rang.
Jiang Xinyu opened the courtyard door. Hattori Mina was standing at the door in a white dress, trying her best to hide the proud smile on her face, and said, "Let's go, the car is waiting outside."
Jiang Xinyu turned around, locked the door, and said, "Mina, I'm very curious, how did you convince the major?"
Hattori Mina covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's hard work and crying!"
Jiang Xinyu could imagine Major Hattori's helplessness and said: "Major, there is really nothing we can do against you!"
"Who said he was my brother!" Hattori Mina looked confident.
There were two cars parked at the entrance of the alley, and in one of them were five Japanese military police in plain clothes. Miyamoto was not wearing a military uniform, but was wearing a light gray suit.
Jiang Xinyu: "Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, shall we drive to Peking?"
"No, take the train. Please get on the train!" Miyamoto opened the door for Hattori Mina.
The two cars, one after the other, sped towards the train station.
