Lei Pen walked in front, and Jiang Xinyu followed behind, saying, "Why are you going?"
"Count it." Ray-Ban said without looking back.
"Are you crazy, counting graves on a cold day? You win, come back!"
The more Jiang Xinyu persuaded, the faster Lei Pen walked.
As the sun sets, a few crows squat on the dead branches, and among the grass, a wild dog looks here warily.
"1,2,3,4...25,26,27..." Ray-Ban counted the graves as he walked.
Zeng Che's grave is easy to find. The blood stains on Dadan are still faintly visible. Traces of new soil being turned can be seen all around, and the newly erected tombstone is very eye-catching.
There are four big characters engraved on the tombstone: Zeng Che’s Tomb!
There is also a line of small words next to it: Standing in December of the 32nd year of the Republic of China.
Without any further explanation, the person who erected the monument also knew that if words such as "Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government" were written on the tombstone, it is estimated that the tombstone would be demolished by Japanese and puppet spies soon.
There is also a small stone table in front of the tombstone. Some tributes were originally placed on it, but now they are all gone. They were either eaten by wild dogs or taken away by homeless people.
There were a few cups and plates left, strewn about on the stone table. It was obvious that the worshipers were very attentive, and the cups and plates were exquisite, not cheap goods.
Jiang Xinyu picked up a cup and looked at it carefully, thought for a while, and slowly put it back on the stone table.
Lei Ban from a distance came over and shouted: "I can't count them, there are too many!... Is this Zeng Che's grave?"
"There is a name on the tombstone." Jiang Xinyu said.
Lei Ban stood at attention facing the tombstone and bowed respectfully three times.
Jiang Xinyu looked at him and said: "If anyone sees you, you will be taken to the gendarmerie immediately. If you don't save it, I will follow you!"
Lei Pen explained with a loud tongue: "I don't mean anything else. The deceased is considered a big man. I respect him as a man! He could obviously be a high official and be popular and drink spicy food, but he would rather die than surrender!"
Jiang Xinyu murmured: "I will just treat you as drinking too much and won't argue with you."
Lei Pen said nonchalantly: "I am not afraid of anyone, I love everyone!"
"You've made enough trouble, let's go back before it gets dark!" Jiang Xinyu walked back.
A few meters away from him was Chen Dasheng's tomb. There was a bluestone tombstone erected in it. The black bold words were clearly visible: Li Dapeng's tomb!
Jiang Xinyu came to see Zeng Che's tombstone. Even if someone knew about it, he could explain to the Japanese and puppets that he came to look for clues and find out who erected the tombstone.
There was a better reason for the military commander, which was to pay homage to Station Master Zeng. He didn't even need to explain anything, he just said that he drank too much Ray-Ban and insisted on making a bet with himself.
But if he goes to see Chen Dasheng's tomb, he has no excuse, especially the murderer hiding in the dark. He must really want to know who Chen Dasheng's subordinates are, and maybe they are watching nearby...
After getting in the car, Ray-Ban leaned on his seat and fell asleep within five minutes. He was really drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go to the Tomb of Heroes and drink like crazy.
Jiang Xinyu drove Ray-Ban to the door of his house and pushed him twice: "Hey, wake up."
"Where is this?" Lei Ban sat up sleepily.
"Do you want me to take you inside your home?"
Lei Ban sat in silence for a moment, and finally regained some consciousness. He opened the door and stepped out of the car, waving his hand and saying: "I'm going back, please go slower on the road..."
Before he finished speaking, he staggered and almost fell.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Xinyu opened the car door and wanted to get out of the car.
"No, no, I wasn't paying attention just now... We have roots on the soles of our feet..." Ray-Ban took three steps, took out the key, unlocked the door and walked in.
…………
"Ring ring ring ring ring!" The bedside phone rang.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, slacker, haven't you gotten up yet?" Hattori Mina's charming voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's your day off, why are you getting up so early..."
"It's early, it's already eight o'clock."
Jiang Xinyu picked up the watch on his pillow, took a look at it, and said, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"
"Of course I can, I'll be there when you call."
"We haven't seen you for a few days, you are so glib..." Hattori Mina said softly.
Jiang Xinyu also felt that his attitude was a bit frivolous, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Actually, I woke up early, so I lay down for a while if I had nothing to do."
"Ayako has found a new house. If you are free, how about we help her move?"
"She lives in a hotel, what does she need to move?"
"Luggage and people need to be moved."
"...Okay, where are you? I'll pick you up."
"I'm in the gendarmerie."
"Okay, wait for me."
Jiang Xinyu put down the phone and meditated for a while, then got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, wrapped the poisonous mushrooms from the game house in paper and put them in a drawer.
An hour later, Jiang Xinyu's car arrived at the gate of the gendarmerie.
The guard called the team headquarters to report. After a while, Hattori Mina walked out quickly with a paper bag in her hand.
"This is for you." Opening the car door and sitting in, Hattori Mina handed the paper bag to Jiang Xinyu and turned to the side with a blushing face.
"For me?...What is it?"
"Stupid, wouldn't you know if you open it and take a look?"
Jiang Xinyu opened the paper bag and found a dark gray woolen scarf inside.
"Do you like it?" Hattori Mina asked in a low voice.
"I like it. I just need a scarf. Thank you."
Jiang Xinyu put the scarf back into the paper bag and put it on the back seat.
Hattori Mina glanced at Jiang Xinyu resentfully and said, "I knitted this myself, why don't you try it?"
Jiang Xinyu felt a little touched in his heart. No matter what the purpose of approaching her was, Hattori Mina's feelings were unadulterated and unreserved.
Hattori Mina took out a scarf and put it on Jiang Xinyu. Her eyes were shy and timid, with indescribable tenderness. The two looked at each other for a while and slowly embraced each other.
At this moment, Kako Nakamura was patrolling the machine gun nest. He had an excellent view from a high position. Unexpectedly, he witnessed this intimate and erotic scene. He gripped the handle of the saber tightly, and his heart was full of jealousy and resentment!
Asia Hotel.
Chang Hongling has packed her luggage and is waiting for Hattori Mina and Jiang Xinyu in the room.
“Tuk-tuk!”
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Chang Hongling immediately stood up and walked to the door, took a look in the door mirror, and then opened the door.
"Thank you very much for your hard work today, Chief Jiang." Chang Hongling bowed.
"Miss Ayako, you're welcome, this is all a simple matter."
Hattori Mina said: "Ayako, my brother is busy with military affairs and can't get away. Let me say sorry on his behalf."
"Major helped find a house, which is already a great help. One day I should come to thank you."
