"The station ahead is Suzhou Station, and the parking time is 15 minutes. Passengers getting off the train, please prepare in advance. There is no Suzhou Station ahead, and the parking time is 15 minutes. Passengers getting off the train, please prepare in advance..."
Accompanied by the piercing whistle, the train slowly drove into Suzhou Station.
The total length of the Shanghai-Nanjing Line is 311 kilometers, starting from Shanghai North Railway Station, passing through Kunshan, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Danyang, Zhenjiang, and ending at Nanjing Railway Station.
The maximum parking time at other stations is ten minutes, and some even only have five minutes. Because Suzhou has a large passenger flow, the parking time is also relatively longer.
"Tuan Gao, fragrant and sweet Tuan Gao..."
"Cigarette soda orange popsicles..."
Small vendors carrying bamboo baskets solicit business from tourists from time to time.
Gu Linglong looked outside for a while and said to Xu Siqi: "You haven't smoked for so long, can you bear it?"
Xu Siqi smiled: "Fortunately. My addiction to cigarettes is not that big."
"Go ahead, park for fifteen minutes. It's good to get out of the car and get some fresh air." Gu Linglong said warmly.
Xu Siqi hesitated for a moment and looked up at the luggage rack.
Gu Linglong immediately said: "I'm looking at something."
"Ladies first, you better get out of the car, I'll stay in the car..."
"Okay, please be polite for a moment, the car is about to leave. Besides, I don't smoke."
Xu Siqi stopped being polite. He stood up and walked a few steps. After thinking for a while, he turned back and asked, "Linglong, Tuan Gao, which flavor do you like?"
Gu Linglong said: "Whatever."
Xu Siqi got out of the car, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one.
"Inspector Xu?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Siqi turned around and saw that it was Shibuya Hideaki from the advance team, so he took a few steps to meet him and said, "Major Shibuya, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Shibuya Hideaki smiled and said, "Yes, you have an old saying in China that we meet each other everywhere in life. I think it is very suitable for this moment."
Xu Siqi nodded: "It is indeed very suitable."
"Why did you come to Suzhou?" Shibuya Hideaki asked.
Xu Siqi said: "I was passing through Suzhou and got off the car to get some fresh air."
Shibuya Hideaki said with a smile: "We are the same. I have been in the car for a long time, so I got out of the car to stretch my muscles."
Xu Siqi asked: "Where are you going, Major Shibuya?"
"First go to Nanjing to visit a friend, and then transfer to Manchuria. Also, don't call me Major anymore? I was dismissed from the command? Now I am just an ordinary Japanese expatriate." Shibuya Hideaki said with a wry smile.
Xu Siqi had already known about Shibuya Hideaki's dismissal? He pretended to be surprised and said: "How could such a thing happen?"
Shibuya Hideaki sighed: "Huh? It's hard to explain in one sentence. It involves military secrets? I'm sorry I can't tell you too much..."
Gu Linglong in the car leaned out and pointed at her wrist, signaling Xu Siqi to pay attention to the driving time.
Xu Siqi smiled and waved.
Following Xu Siqi's gaze? Shibuya Hideaki suddenly realized that he had mistaken Gu Linglong for Gu Qingcheng. The two of them were traveling to Nanjing in the future, so he said: "Inspector Xu and Miss Gu are talented and beautiful? They are really enviable.
A pair."
Xu Siqi didn't explain too much. It was good to let Hideaki Shibuya misunderstand. He said: "Thank you for the compliment. It's almost time and it's time for me to get in the car. Shibuya-kun, I hope we can meet again if we have the opportunity in the future."
"I hope so. Inspector Xu? It's a great honor to meet you." Shibuya Hideaki nodded slightly in greeting.
"Me too. Shibuya-kun's demeanor is impressive. You are the most cultivated officer among the Japanese soldiers I know."
"Thank you. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Watching Xu Siqi get into the car, Shibuya Hideaki couldn't help but sigh softly.
He went to Northeast China this time and had no intention of returning to Shanghai. He followed the advice of his uncle Saburo Shibuya and submitted a resignation report to the Marine Corps Headquarters.
With Shibuya Saburo's abilities, he can completely help his nephew make a comeback. There is no need to compromise and continue to stay in Shanghai as a young second lieutenant with no future.
…
After returning to the car, Xu Siqi put a box of dumpling cakes on the table and said, "Whatever you say, I have to buy a little of each, mung bean cake, mint cake, rice maple cake, just these three, no other flavors."
"There are more than 20 flavors of Tuan Gao. In June, only these three are usually sold..."
Gu Linglong glanced outside the car and asked, "Who is that person talking to you?"
Xu Siqi said: "A Japanese major who was dismissed from his post is named Shibuya Hideaki."
"Are you friends with him?"
"With my status, how can I be friends with a Japanese officer?"
"But, the way you just acted, you seemed to have hit it off very well. For those who didn't know, you thought you were old friends for many years."
"Stationmaster Zhou once said that being a patrol officer is actually the same as being an agent. You talk to people and talk to ghosts. You make more friends and fewer enemies. You may be able to use them in the future."
Gu Linglong was silent for a while and said: "At the beginning, when we first met, were you also telling lies to me?"
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "I wanted to give you an example and teach you a lesson in advance, but I didn't expect that I would be misunderstood."
"You just said that you can talk to people and talk to ghosts. Who knows if you want to take advantage of me..."
"Stop thinking so wildly. At that time, I had not yet joined the Secret Service."
"Really?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
Gu Linglong sighed quietly and said softly: "Since knowing your identity, I am not sure which of what you said before is true and which is false..."
Woo——
Woo——
Woo——
The whistle blew and the train left Suzhou Station.
Along the way, Gu Linglong seemed worried. How to get along with Xu Siqi in the future is a problem that must be faced.
This person is now my sister's boyfriend. Judging from the current trend, their relationship is stable and their relationship will most likely go further in the future.
In other words, Xu Siqi may become his brother-in-law...
"Linglong, Linglong?"
"ah?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"No, I didn't think about anything...where is the car?"
"Just passed Danyang."
"It's getting dark..."
Xu Siqi glanced at his watch. It was now a quarter past six and said, "If it's not late, we can arrive in Nanjing at ten o'clock in the evening. Linglong, if you are tired, just take a rest."
Gu Linglong shook her head: "I'm not tired. I slept for a while at noon, and now I feel very energetic. But you didn't even blink during the whole journey. You should take a rest."
After riding in the car for a whole day, saying I'm not tired is just an excuse.
Xu Siqi crossed his arms on his chest, leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
After what seemed like more than ten minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes and happened to see Gu Linglong, who looked panicked, and hurriedly turned around to look out the window.
