While in Japan, the anti-war alliance often organized protest rallies, and Xu Siqi saw the dove-shaped logo more than once.
That time when he and Gu Linglong went to Takeuchi Bookstore, Takeuchi Ryota accidentally dropped the sign. He thought the customer didn't notice it, but in fact Xu Siqi had already seen it.
………
After listening to Xu Siqi's report, the nurse said to Takeuchi Ryota: "What is your relationship with Yamamoto Kosuke?"
Ryota Takeuchi hesitated for a moment and said, "Relationship between fellow countrymen."
The nurse glanced at him, reached for the phone and dialed a number. After the call was connected, she said: "I am the receptionist of the hospital. Please tell Chief Inspector Stewart that there is a person who claims to be a friend of Yamamoto Kosuke. The matter of Yamamoto Kosuke. Yes, okay, okay..."
Takeuchi Ryota couldn't understand English and could only ask Xu Siqi with his eyes.
Xu Siqi glanced at him and saw that the nurse was concentrating on the phone. He couldn't care about it for the time being, so he smiled and said to Ryota Takeuchi: "The nurse is calling the patrolman. You may be in trouble."
Takeuchi Ryota's expression suddenly changed. He looked around and said, "I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon..."
After saying this, he walked quickly to the other side.
No matter where he goes, as long as time permits, Xu Siqi will check the terrain first to prepare for unexpected situations that may arise at any time.
He could tell that Ryota Takeuchi was very familiar with the hospital. There was an exit where he went and he could leave through the side door of the hospital.
The nurse quickly asked: "Where did he go?"
"He said he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and went to the bathroom." Xu Siqi replied.
The nurse was a little uneasy and leaned over to look around from time to time.
After a while, with several police officers shouting at him, Stewart hurried to the front desk and asked: "Ms. Nurse, where is that person?"
"He went to the bathroom." The nurse pointed.
"what kind of person?"
"Not tall, short and fat, wearing a pair of glasses and a blue and white striped suit..."
Stewart waved his hand, and his patrol officer immediately ran over and searched the bathroom area carefully, but could not find Ryota Takeuchi as described by the nurse.
"Chief Inspector, we didn't find that person. He must have left through the side door." The patrol officer came back and reported back.
Stewart was silent for a moment and then ordered: "From now on, people from the patrol room must be on duty at the front desk of the hospital. Anyone related to Yamamoto Kosuke must be strictly interrogated. If necessary, you can report to me at any time!..."
Regarding the murder of Kosuke Yamamoto, the Japanese Consulate issued an official statement, requiring the concession authorities to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise they will take "necessary measures" to protect the lives of their own citizens.
The so-called necessary measure is to urge the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau to approve a bill proposed by a Japanese director to allow special forces to station in the concession to assist the patrol house in handling cases.
In fact, everyone knew very well that the Japanese side was nominally assisting in handling the case, but in fact it wanted to penetrate its power into the concession.
Under pressure, Stewart personally took charge of investigating the case. Suddenly a man claiming to be a fellow Yamamoto appeared, and of course he was ready to interrogate him.
…………
evening.
No. 330 Foch Road.
Xu Siqi returned home and reached out to turn on the light. He saw a note on the coffee table: I am going to Suzhou for a week on business and will be back at the end of the month. Don't read it. Solemnly.
Xu Siqi smiled and threw the note into the wastebasket. He knew very well that he must have been assigned a new task by the Secret Service.
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door.
Xu Siqi came to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Zhou Weilong's voice came from outside the door.
Xu Siqi opened the door and let Zhou Weilong in.
"Is it convenient at home?"
"Convenient. My friend is on a business trip and has been away from home for the past few days."
"oh……"
"Mr. Zhou, please sit down."
After sitting down, Zhou Weilong said without too many polite words: "Brother Xu, I came here last time, but it's a pity that I didn't wait for you. Counting these two days, it will take a total of five days. You should be able to give me a reply."
?”
Xu Siqi nodded and said seriously: "I have thought about it carefully. You are right. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Instead of living a mediocre life, it is better to do something vigorous and vigorous! So, I agree to join you!"
"You can think so, Zhou is very pleased."
Zhou Weilong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't finish the things that Boss Dai had taken care of, he would always feel uneasy.
He opened his briefcase, took out a neatly folded object, and unfolded it into the air with a clatter. It turned out to be a flag with a blue sky and a white sun.
There was a landscape painting hanging on the east wall of the living room. Zhou Weilong looked at it for a while, reached out and took down the landscape painting, and then said to Xu Siqi: "Here, help me hang the flag."
The two of them each took a corner and hung the blue sky and white sun flag on the wall.
"Xu Siqi, come here and swear an oath to me. I will read one sentence, and you will read one sentence with me." Zhou Weilong looked solemn and solemn, standing at attention facing the flag.
Xu Siqi straightened his clothes and stood side by side with Zhou Weilong.
Zhou Weilong clenched a fist with one hand and said in a deep voice: "I swear to join the group sincerely, obey the leader, strictly abide by group secrets, obey orders, and abide by group disciplines. If I violate my oath, I am willing to suffer the severest punishment! The recommender, Zhou Weilong. The person who made the oath.
,Xu Siqi."
Xu Siqi followed Zhou Weilong's example and repeated it.
After taking the oath, Zhou Weilong put away the Blue Sky and White Sun flag, folded it neatly, and put it back into his briefcase.
This means that in Shanghai, if you develop new people in the Northeast, this link can be avoided. Carrying the national chess piece with you behind enemy lines is equivalent to carrying a thunder that can explode at any time.
Zhou Weilong looked at Xu Siqi and said: "From now on, you are an agent of the National Government! On behalf of the Secret Service and myself, I welcome you to join!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Xu Siqi bowed and said.
Zhou Weilong waved his hand, indicating that Xu Siqi need not be formal, and continued: "You can just listen to the following conversation. Your organizational relationship is affiliated with the Intelligence Division of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service. I am the Station Director of Shanghai Station and concurrently serve as the Director of the Intelligence Division.
, that is, your superior."
"Since you have chosen to join the Secret Service, you need to have a basic understanding of the Secret Service. Let me briefly introduce it first, and you will learn more about it later. The predecessor of the Secret Service was Fuxing Society, also known as the Blue Clothes Society.
Our core idea is to obey the leader, protect the leader, and defend the leader! To put it bluntly, the Secret Service is only responsible for the commission, and no other government department has the right to interfere with our actions!"
"Within the Secret Service, any betrayal will be severely punished. You must keep this in mind!"
