No. 13, Plum Blossom Lane, Japanese Military Police.
Hattori Mina walked around the house, coming to the window and looking out from time to time.
Hattori Hikoo sat on a chair, carefully wiped his saber with a piece of white cloth, and said, "Mina, did you sleep well last night?"
Hattori Mina seemed not to have heard anything and stood in front of the window in a daze.
Hattori Hikoo: "Mina!"
Hattori Mina was startled, patted her chest, and said coquettishly: "Brother, why are you so loud? You scared me to death..."
Hattori Hikoo glanced at his sister and said worriedly: "From morning to now, you have been in a state of disbelief. Have you not recovered from the shock?"
Hattori Mina: "Well, there is one thing...why has Nakamura not come back after being gone for so long?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Nakamura will definitely handle this matter well and give you this tone!"
"Brother, I don't think you should send him."
"Why?"
"His character is rude and unreasonable. I wonder if he will offend others."
"When we treat those Chinese people, what does it matter if we offend them..."
"Report!" the guard's voice came from outside the door.
Hattori Hikoo: "What's the matter?"
"Captain Nakamura is back."
"Let him in."
"yes."
After a while, Kako Nakamura walked into the captain's room, bowed with both feet and saluted: "Your Excellency, Major, the matter has been dealt with, and I came here to report back to you!"
Hattori Hikoo nodded: "Have you brought the policeman?"
"He's right outside."
"Invite him in and be polite."
"yes."
Under the guidance of Nakamura, Jiang Xinyu stepped into the room and bowed slightly: "Hello, Your Excellency, Major."
Hattori Hikoo signaled Nakamura to go out first, looked Jiang Xinyu up and down, and with a rare smile on his face, he said: "Officer Jiang, please sit down. (Chinese)"
It is not uncommon for Japanese people to speak fluent Chinese, so Jiang Xinyu did not feel too surprised.
Hattori Mina stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Officer Jiang, thank you very much for what happened last night."
Jiang Xinyu pretended to be surprised: "Miss Mei Nai? You, why are you here?"
Hattori Mina glanced at her brother and said, "I am his sister."
Jiang Xinyu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when Kako Nakamura saw Lao Ba and Ryoko, he killed them on the spot without any explanation. It turned out to be this reason.
Hattori Mina poured a full cup of tea for Jiang Xinyu with her own hands and said: "Officer Jiang, please use tea."
Jiang Xinyu: "Thank you."
Hattori Hikoo has been watching with cold eyes. He feels that this police officer Jiang seems to be different from the Chinese people he has interacted with. Even when he came to the Military Police, Jiang Xinyu did not show any fear, and his words and deeds seemed very natural and appropriate.
Hattori Hikoo took out his saber from the scabbard, stroked the sharp blade, and said, "Officer Jiang, what do you think of my saber?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Sorry, I don't have much research on weapons."
Hattori Hikoo looked at Jiang Xinyu and said: "After graduating from the Army Sergeant School, this sword has never left my side. Since I came to fight in the Far East, I have used this saber to chop off the heads of hundreds of enemies!"
"Major is brave and good at fighting. I have heard about it for a long time." Jiang Xinyu looked calmly into Hattori Hikoo's falcon-like eyes.
In fact, of course he knew that the "hundreds of enemies" mentioned by Hattori Hikoo were his compatriots! In other words, at least one hundred Chinese soldiers died at the hands of this devil!
The flame of hatred was burning in Jiang Xinyu's heart, but he had to keep his expression straight, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him. Only in this way could the Japanese in front of him, who was obviously testing his attitude, let down his guard!
Hattori Mina couldn't help but whispered: "Brother, let's talk about business..."
Hattori Hikoo returned the sword to its sheath and placed it on the knife holder. He turned to Jiang Xinyu and said, "You saved Mina. From today on, you are a friend of the Hattori family. Of course, you are also a friend of the empire."
Jiang Xinyu stood up: "I have just said that this is nothing. As a police officer, this is my duty. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Hattori Hikoo: "Officer Jiang, please stay."
"What other orders do you have?"
"At seven o'clock on the weekend evening, at the Japanese restaurant of the Asia Hotel, Mina and I invited Officer Jiang to have a casual meal as a token of our affection. Please don't refuse!"
"I appreciate your kindness, Major, but the police station is busy with official duties, so... I'm sorry."
"This is not a problem. I will call Director Wang later and he will arrange for you to rest for a few days."
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment and said: "Well, in this case, I will not be disrespectful. I will definitely go to the appointment on time!"
Hattori Hikoo nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."
"Report!" the guard's voice came from outside the door.
Hattori Hikoo: "What's the matter?"
Guard: "Mr. Yuan Wenkui, please see me."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in."
Guard: "Yes."
After a while, the door clicked, and a middle-aged man wearing a melon cap and a satin gown stepped in.
This man is Yuan Wenkui, the leader of the Qinggang. Because he is the third eldest son in the family, he is respectfully called "Third Master". He is also the president of the Yanjin Maintenance Association and is a complete and ardent traitor.
Hattori Hikoo was very polite to him and said: "Hello, Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Wenkui bowed and saluted, and said: "Major Hattori, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I came here specifically to apologize today."
Hattori Hikoo: "Where do you start with this sentence?"
Yuan Wenkui: "It was because of my neglect of discipline that the two dogs under my command offended Miss Mei Nei. This matter... Oh, it really deserves death! Even if they were shot, it would be easier for them!"
Hattori Mina said in surprise: "Shot? Brother, Nakamura...killed those two people?"
Hattori Hikoo said coldly: "Don't they deserve to die?"
Hattori Mina was speechless. Although she couldn't argue, she still felt that something was wrong.
Yuan Wenkui echoed: "If I had known about this earlier, I would have killed them alive to vent my anger on Miss Menai!"
Hattori Hikoo: "Let this matter go as it is. You don't have to worry. I will not hold you responsible for this."
Yuan Wenkui bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Major, for your magnanimity."
Hattori Hikoo: "As long as you do your best for the empire, everything will be easy to discuss. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yuan Wenkui: "I understand, I understand."
Hattori Hikoo nodded and said: "Let me introduce you to a new friend. This is Police Officer Jiang Xinyu Jiang. Officer Jiang, you must have heard about Mr. Yuan, right?"
