Qiao Mucai thought for a long time and said: "It is a very rare character for a person to value love and justice. It is human nature for you to want to go to Japan to find Mina Hattori, and I cannot forcefully stop you. However, Xinyu, the time is not right now.
!”
Jiang Xinyu: "What... do you mean?"
Qiao Muchai: "Yanjin Station has just been established, and all departments are seriously understaffed and unable to do their jobs. As the captain of the action team, do you think it is appropriate for you to withdraw at this critical moment and cross the ocean to Japan? Do you think it is appropriate for you to let the station's staff
What do other colleagues think? If the headquarters finds out, with Director Dai’s temper, it may be very detrimental to your future!"
Seeing that Jiang Xinyu was silent, Qiao Mucai continued: "In my opinion, you should put this matter aside for a while. When everything calms down, I will grant you leave without you having to apply, so that you and your wife can be reunited!"
The reason why Qiao Mucai said this was because he had his own wishful thinking. He believed that Jiang Xinyu was newly married and could not let go of his feelings for Hattori Mina for a while. If time went on, he would probably gradually forget about her.
Jiang Xinyu said hesitantly: "I'm just afraid of Mina's side..."
Qiao Mucai smiled and said: "Afraid that she will forget you? Let me tell you, being apart for a longer period of time will test your relationship even more!"
"...Okay! Thank you, webmaster, for your help!"
"Put your mind on your work. You are still young and the country is full of waste. It is the best opportunity to make contributions. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will let others steal the limelight. It will be too late to regret it by then!"
"Students must obey your teachings!"
"By the way, we don't want to be called students and teachers from now on. These guys in the station are very smart and have complicated backgrounds. We can't let go of the subject, lest anyone gossip. Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear!"
After drinking tea for a while, Qiao Mucai said: "One more thing. The US military arrested Uchida Ginnosuke as a war criminal. Next Monday will be the preliminary trial, and the military commander will also send personnel to hear the trial. This is an opportunity to show your face, so I decided to send you there.
!”
"yes!"
"Remember, you don't need to express any opinions during the interrogation. You can just sign the memorandum afterwards. It's just a formality."
"Understood."
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "During the transition period to Yanjin, Uchida obeyed the orders of the government and did not surrender to the Communist army. Will this be the reason for his acquittal?"
Qiao Mucai sneered and said: "For the time being, forgetting everything else, abusing biological and chemical weapons will land him in jail for this crime!"
"If he firmly refuses to admit it, it may be difficult to prove it."
"We have the fact that the Japanese army used poison gas bombs outside Yanjin City. The evidence is so solid that he cannot deny it!"
Jiang Xinyu's heart moved. The ironclad evidence Qiao Mucai mentioned should refer to the time when the Japanese plainclothes team was ambushed by the county brigade. How did the military commander know about this?
Without too much analysis, it must be the information provided by the "judge"!
Since a judge secretly tipped off the news and Pei Shaoshi's identity was no secret, why didn't Qiao Mucai take any action? What on earth was he waiting for?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu tentatively said: "Webmaster, according to the analysis of the messages intercepted by the Telecommunications Section, the Communist Party's underground organization has been very active recently. Should we make plans early to avoid raising tigers in the future?"
Qiao Mucai smiled and waved his hand and said: "Director Feng and I have discussed the issue you mentioned just now. Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and some things have not yet been put on the agenda, so don't act rashly for the time being!"
"yes!"
Qiao Mucai was so confident that Jiang Xinyu felt a little panicked. He knew that if the judge was not found, even if the superiors sent someone else to replace Pei Shaoshi, his identity would still be exposed, just like the new Lu Minghua!
After get off work, I met Lei Ban downstairs. He is now a team leader in the General Affairs Department and supervises two or three people.
"Xinyu, if you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you come to my house for a drink? I'll accompany you to get drunk and relieve all your worries!"
"What is the solution to thousands of worries?"
Lei Ban whispered: "Did the webmaster disappoint you?"
Jiang Xinyu glanced at him and said, "How do you know?"
Lei Ban said with a bad smile: "You can tell by the look on your face!"
Jiang Xinyu walked towards his car. Lei Ban asked loudly from behind: "You really don't want to go? If you don't go, can I leave?"
…………
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xinyu drove back to Gongshi Road.
There is a sign in front of a restaurant on the street: Today’s special, seafood tempura!
This was Hattori Mina's favorite dish. Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but park the car slowly on the street, pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked into the restaurant.
"Sir, who are you?" the boss greeted politely.
"One."
"this way please."
Choosing a table at random, Jiang Xinyu looked around. The business in the store was very light, with only a few tables of customers sitting there.
"What would you like to eat?" The boss, who is in his thirties, speaks very awkward Chinese.
Jiang Xinyu said in Japanese: "One piece of seafood tempura, one piece of sushi, that's all."
A hint of surprise flashed across the boss's face and he said, "Are you Japanese?"
"no, I am chinese."
"...I'm sorry, I'm rude, please wait a moment!"
Sitting at the table by the window was a fashionably dressed woman, about twenty-three or four years old, with heavy makeup and an unruly ponytail, looking through an illustrated magazine boredly.
The food was served quickly. While Jiang Xinyu was eating, he sighed in his heart. Under the influence of Hattori Mina, he also started to like Japanese food.
As soon as the door opened, two guys wearing black silk shirts came in. Even in this month, they deliberately opened their arms and looked at everyone in the restaurant with confidence.
"Who's the boss?" one of the guys yelled.
The boss was serving food to other customers and kept saying yes: "Come right away, come right away."
"You need to get off the horse right now, I don't have time, hurry up!"
The boss walked over quickly and said politely: "What do you two want to eat?"
"I'm Chinese and I can't get used to your Japanese food!"
"Then what are you..."
"Do you know the Ax Gang?"
"I know, I know."
"It's good to know. From now on, this area will be under the axe's control. My name is Yan Baishun, just call me Mr. Yan!"
"Master Yan, hello."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and pay the taxes!"
"What kind of tax do you have to pay?"
"Anti-Japanese tax! All Japanese businesses will have to pay anti-Japanese tax starting from this month. If anyone gives you trouble, mention my name!"
"But this restaurant is a Chinese business."
"You want to fool me? Do you dare to say that you are not Japanese?"
"I am. But my wife is Chinese, so she is the boss."
"Are you making up stories with me here?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Just take a look at the business license and you will know that I am not lying."
As expected, the business license plate hanging on the wall clearly stated the name of a Chinese woman.
Yan Baishun looked at his men and said, "Did you see that? Our trip was in vain today!"
His subordinates muttered a few words. Yan Baishun's eyes lit up and he immediately said to the boss: "Yes, call your wife out! Everything is fake these days. What if you fool us with a fake license plate?"
"Sorry, my wife is about to give birth and is resting at home..."
"Then I'm sorry, just pay the tax!"
"……How much?"
“One thousand yuan a month, and I’ll collect what I put out in a year!”
