"Last night, Cangyan Zongyan went to Wusong Steel Works again."
"How long were you there?"
"Forty minutes."
"Has Akiyama Ga also gone?"
"No."
"Prepare a black Dodge sedan, license plate number Shanghai 30575."
I solemnly thought about it: "Dodge car, 30575 ... seems to be a car from Wusong Steel Works?"
Xu Siqi nodded: "Yes."
"Whose car?"
"A special car belonging to Koichi Oshima, the head of the steel plant."
"what's your plan?"
"The next time Souen Kuranaga goes there, he pretends to be Oshima Hiroichi and goes in. The guard at the gate never checks his car and lets him go when he sees the license plate."
"If you ask me, it would be better to pretend to be a worker and sneak in. It would be easier to get a factory entry permit..."
"Kuranaga Soyan is riding in a car. Can you still expect two legs to catch up with four wheels?"
“…”
"Send Shen Qiujun this time. He can speak Japanese and may be able to use it then."
"good."
After thinking seriously, he said: "Si Qi, who is Cangyong Zongyan? Let's not worry about him for now. Siyuan is your brother, so you can rest assured and let him continue to live in Cangyong's house? You have been separated for fourteen years. , it’s really hard to tell whether he is close to you or to Kurunaga Muneyan.”
"Then what do you think we should do?" Xu Siqi asked.
He said solemnly: "Let Siyuan move out earlier. What's the matter with Tian'er living with a Japanese for more than half a month? Of course, one code comes down to the other, and the Kurunaga family is pretty good to Siyuan. As for What Kusanagi Soyan does secretly is a different matter."
Xu Siqi said: "Yesterday, Siyuan's graduation exam results came out, ranking first in the school."
He solemnly froze for a moment and said: "I would like to congratulate you first. However, why do I feel that we are not talking about the same thing."
Xu Siqi smiled: "Listen to me first..."
I solemnly lit a cigarette and waited to hear what was going on.
Xu Siqi continued: "He got good grades in the exam, and he was very happy. He called me specifically and asked me if I could accompany him to go roller skating in the Great Happiness. As you know, the Great Happiness is in Zhabei. Normally, from Waibaidu Bridge Walking is the shortest way..."
There are many amusement places in the concession, and there are many tourists coming to visit. Naturally, Huajie is very excited to see them.
As a result, Zhabei also established a playground called Great Happiness.
The facilities inside the Grand Happy House are relatively complete, including billiard rooms, roller skating rinks, billiard rooms, tennis courts, dog racing tracks, indoor swimming pools, slides, giant steps, sand tables, etc.
The most distinctive one is the roller skating rink.
Compared with the roller skating rink in the concession, the Happy Roller Skating Rink covers a larger area and is obviously more attractive to roller skating enthusiasts.
Xu Siyuan is also a roller skating enthusiast.
On the public holiday, Xu Siqi took Gu Qingcheng, Xu Siyuan and Qiu Shan Yumei and rushed to the Happy Amusement Park via Waibaidu Bridge.
As an expensive steel frame bridge, the Waibaidu Bridge cost a lot of money, and the entire cost was borne by the British Concession Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Since the construction of the bridge was completed, there has been an endless stream of citizens coming here to see it.
Even though I had nothing to do, I still wanted to stop on the Waibaidu Bridge and take a few photos as a souvenir.
To ordinary people, this is not just a bridge, but a wonderful scenery.
In order to recover the investment as soon as possible, a toll station was set up at Waibaidu Bridge. Foreigners and civil servants living in the concession are free of charge, while others need to pay a dime.
Others, etc., mainly refer to Chinese people.
In order to prevent the Hua arresters from taking advantage of the opportunity to allow the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family to cross the bridge for free, the patrol room specially arranged for the Yin arresters to be responsible for guarding the bridge.
After hearing about this regulation, people from all walks of life in Shanghai were in an uproar, thinking that this was pure discrimination.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the Shanghai City Hall sent representatives to negotiate with the British Concession Industry Bureau, hoping that on the Waibaidu Bridge issue, both Chinese and foreigners could be treated equally.
The Ministry of Industry and Industry made a concession and changed the fee from 1 dime to 0.5 cents.
As the saying goes, people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.
Chinese people are deeply influenced by Confucianism, and the three words "harmony is precious" are ubiquitous.
Now that the British have compromised, why do they still have to deal with it?
It only took less than a month from the uproar to the silence, and no one asked about this matter again.
0.5 cents each time is not much, and over time, it becomes a moderate expense.
As long as you take a detour from other places, you can save tolls.
Of course Xu Siqi didn't have to go around. He was a civil servant in the British Concession. As long as he showed his pass, he didn't have to pay the money.
When talking about this, Xu Siqi also lit a cigarette and said: "Later, I discovered that someone had touched my briefcase."
"Don't you always carry your bag with you?" he asked solemnly and puzzled.
"When I went to the bathroom, I handed my briefcase to Qingcheng for safekeeping."
"Qingcheng..."
"She never messes with other people's things. I am no exception."
"Could it be, Siyuan?"
"That's right."
"Didn't you just say that the briefcase was given to Qingcheng?"
"Qingcheng was not prepared for Siyuan." "Have you asked Qingcheng about this?"
"No. It's best that she doesn't know anything."
"Si Qi, I think we should be cautious about this kind of thing. You can't just rely on speculation and think that Si Yuan has touched your bag. Don't forget, there is also Akiyama Yumi."
"Yumi is pure and upright, she is definitely not her."
"It's okay if you moved it, maybe just out of curiosity. By the way, is there anything missing from the bag?"
"Nothing is missing."
"Since nothing is missing, how can you conclude that someone has touched the briefcase?"
Xu Siqi said: "Recently, I have made secret marks on my briefcase. Not only the briefcase, but also many places in my home. As long as someone has touched it, I will definitely be able to tell."
For an agent, if an abnormality is detected, strict precautions will be taken.
Zheng Zheng is very clear about this common sense issue.
Who is Xu Siqi guarding against?
Apart from Gu Qingcheng, the other person who visits the house frequently recently is Xu Siyuan.
Is it possible that Xu Siqi has been wary of his younger brother for a long time?
It doesn't seem strange when you think about it. After all, Siyuan was raised by Japanese people. It's hard to make a conclusion about what he is thinking, at least in a short period of time.
"Seriously, I need to keep an eye on Siyuan recently to see who he has been in contact with. You should handle this matter yourself."
"Even if he turns towards the Japanese, he is still excusable..."
"I will explain the rights and wrongs to you in detail later."
Xu Siqi opened the briefcase, poured out all the contents, and looked through each item carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the pass.
Recalling that when passing the Waibai Crossing Bridge, he handed the pass to the bridge guard, Xu Siyuan, who had always been taciturn, suddenly started talking to Yumi about roller skating skills.
