"Your Majesty Colonel, it is my honor to meet you."

Hahara Koichi was very polite: "I'm really sorry, it's really rude to disturb you while you are eating."

"It doesn't matter, Hahara-kun." Matsumoto Nitsuji said calmly: "In Nanjing, you helped my daughter. I haven't had the chance to thank you yet. Since you are here, let's have a meal together."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

"It's okay if I say yes."

"Then I won't be polite."

What is he here to do?

Zhen Naizi looked calm on the face, but suddenly became nervous in his heart.

Shao Yuanjun and himself took advantage of him and successfully sent themselves back to Shanghai.

Did he discover something to expose himself to his father?

"Miss Manaiko, was it a smooth journey back to Shanghai from Nanjing?" Hikaru Hahara asked as he sat down one by one.

Makoto replied politely: "It's too troublesome for you. The people you sent are very attentive. Without you and them, I really don't know how I would have returned to Shanghai."

"Miss Manaiko is safe, so I can rest assured." Koichi Hahara said immediately: "In Nanjing, many enemy armed forces are still active, and it is very unstable there. Especially the enemy's agents are always there.

They are trying every possible means to undermine our management of Nanjing, and always want to bring out some illegal intelligence through various means."

He knows... He knows...

Makoto kept saying this in his mind...but why didn't he say it directly instead of going in such a circle?

Maybe it's because he doesn't have enough evidence?

Matsumoto Nitsugi frowned: "Hahara-kun, it seems that there is something in your words?"

"No, no, His Excellency Colonel." Koichi Hahara said hurriedly: "I will never dare to say anything obscure. It is already a great honor for me to meet His Excellency Colonel today. However, Miss Manaiko ran away alone.

Nanjing, yes, one person... is too dangerous, and may even be used by enemy agents. If such a terrible thing really happens, it may be a kind of damage to the reputation of His Excellency Colonel."

Matsumoto Hitsugu narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"I am able to come to Shanghai to see His Excellency Colonel today all because of the receptions that will be held simultaneously in Shanghai and Nanjing tomorrow. I will be responsible for the contact with Shanghai on behalf of Nanjing." Koichi Hahara said respectfully: "If not

I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to meet His Excellency Colonel this time. Well, I won’t delay His Excellency Colonel and Miss Makoto’s dinner and take my leave.”

Matsumoto Hitsugu nodded and said nothing.

"Miss Manaki, take care of yourself." Hikaru Hahara stood up and bowed deeply to Matsumoto Nitsugi and Manaki.

After he left, Matsumoto Nitsugi remained silent and didn't say a word.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Shinoko asked cautiously.

"This person is not simple."

Matsumoto Nitsugi finally said: "Manako, you didn't go to Nanjing alone, someone took you there, right? I know that my daughter is actually a very stubborn person. Once she decides something, she will never do it.

Changed. Whatever my daughter doesn’t want to say, no matter how hard I try, she won’t say it.

Makoto, Koichi Hahara came here today specifically to tell me that you did something that you shouldn't have done in Nanjing. He knew it, but he didn't tell anyone. He was keeping it a secret. But why should he keep it a secret? Because I am you

My father. He is very smart and knows not to expose the truth, not only to protect you, but also to protect himself."

"Father, he is talking nonsense." Shinoko raised his voice.

"No, he is telling the truth." A smile appeared on Matsumoto Nitsugi's face: "Look at my true nature. When I lie, I still hold on to my clothes just like when I was a child. Do you think

Even if you really do something, will my father be willing to blame you? Even if it's a big deal, I will help you cover it up."

At this moment, Shinoko almost cried, and she almost told her father the whole truth.

I can't say it, I definitely can't say it, because this matter is too important.

"Dad doesn't want to know the truth of the matter." Matsumoto Nitsugi continued: "But, Shinoko, you must not do similar things again in the future. You have to know that dad is just a colonel, and there are many officials who can control him.

I, if some bad things get spread, even dad will not be able to protect you."

"I understand, Father."

What an innocent child. In one sentence, he is admitting that all the facts are true.

Matsumoto Nitsugi didn't want to ask any questions. He only knew that as long as he was alive, he had to protect his dear daughter no matter what...

…

The sound of firecrackers outside has started to crackle.

Everyone's faces turned red.

It's because of the alcohol and the heat in the room.

At 10 o'clock, Cai Xuefei had already left.

For her, it was already very late before she went to bed.

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly stood up: "Which of you wants to see what New Year's Eve in Shanghai is like?"

"Okay, okay." Yuri Ai Yamashita was the first to call out.

She drank a lot today and looked a little drunk.

Wu Jingyi also drank a lot of wine, but she still remained calm and sober: "Director Meng, there are only a few of us. If we encounter any danger, we should call a few more people together..."

"How can there be so many dangers?" Meng Shaoyuan looked at it but didn't care at all: "This is Shanghai, Shanghai in China. I am a Chinese, even when I go out, I have to look forward and backward. If the news spreads, it will make people laugh! Let's go, let's go,

Everyone, let’s go! By the way, bring me a few packages of vegetables and a few bottles of wine, I want to see a few people.”

…

Outside, there are trees and flowers.

The firecrackers kept going off and the fireworks kept going brilliant.

The children ran around excitedly, clapped their hands and screamed with joy as they watched the fireworks.

There is no war.

There was no sound of gunfire.

All this has been temporarily away from all Chinese people.

Foreigners living nearby also came to the balconies and doorsteps of their homes in twos and threes to watch the happiest festival of the year in China.

"It's beautiful." Hawes praised: "This is our Christmas that is different. On Christmas, the whole family gets together, and that is the greatest warmth. But here, it is even more lively and joyful."

"Do you know why? Because of people." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "People will always temporarily forget their sorrow and pain during such festivals. There are many, many people in China. In such special festivals, happiness will continue quickly.

."

He led a group of people and walked slowly.

In front, there are several low houses, which look out of place with the surrounding bungalows.

This place is affiliated to the Hushang Electric Lighting Company and is mainly responsible for the surrounding street lighting. Usually, there is always a lighting inspector living here. It is directly under the management of the inspector.

The electric light inspector in this area is named Li Ajiu. He is from outside and has been working here for almost a year. He is alone and has no wife or children. He is usually very honest. When people around him have something to do, he will ask him to help.

, he is also particularly willing to do it.

Meng Shaoyuan and his people actually came to the house and knocked hard on the door.

The lights inside were still on, and it was obvious that Li Ajiu hadn't slept yet, but after a while, a voice came out: "Who is it? It's so late."

"it's me!"

This way of calling the door is very strange, but it is also very effective. Is it me? Who are you? But in most cases, the owner will still open the door.

Sure enough, the door opened, and Li Ajiu looked at the group of people outside the door doubtfully: "Who are you?"

"Come here to see you." Meng Shaoyuan said to himself and forced his way in.

As expected, Li Ajiu was still awake. On a small table, there was half a fish, a vegetable, and half a bowl of wine.

"This is too hard." Meng Shaoyuan took two packages of vegetables and a bottle of wine and put them on the table: "Here, I'll add some vegetables for you."

"Sir, I don't know you." Li Ajiu was confused.

"You don't know me, but I know you." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "You are forty years old this year, right, Fukushima Koki?"

The sound of "Hongyi Fukushima" made "Li Ajiu"'s face change drastically.

"Don't be afraid, today is New Year's Eve, I won't kill anyone." Meng Shaoyuan still said with a smile: "Besides, you are just an outside agent, responsible for monitoring this area, there is no benefit if I kill you. I, Meng Shaoyuan, will not kill you.

Such a nobody!"

Meng Shaoyuan! This person turned out to be Meng Shaoyuan!

Fukushima Koki felt that his whole body was cold.

This person is actually a Japanese special? Even Wu Jingyi didn't grasp this situation.

"You have worked hard here for a year, and you said that your boss didn't even come to express condolences to you." Meng Shaoyuan actually patted him on the shoulder: "But it's no wonder that you haven't made any achievements this year.

What useful information has been passed on? No wonder your boss doesn't want to see you. It's the Chinese New Year, so I have to give you extra food.

Tomorrow, report the information about my visit to your place to your superior. I know exactly how many contact points you have in the public settlement and who is responsible for where. Also, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is a good time.

Day. I heard that your consulate will hold a reception, and I will remove your contact points one by one on this day!"

Fukushima Koki has never seen such an arrogant person, who actually told the enemy his plan clearly.

At this moment, Wu Jingyi suddenly understood why Meng Shaoyuan did what he did.

He will do a big thing at the Da Guangming Cinema tomorrow. He must minimize all risks and allow his plan to be executed smoothly. And the best way to make the Japanese special organization become a mess and be at a loss is to:

Meng Shaoyuan wanted to kill someone!

The Chinese and Japanese secret services have just ceased war, and during the negotiation process, Meng Shaoyuan never showed up, which will definitely make the other party worried.

Now, he suddenly revealed his plan to kill people openly and openly.

It is completely conceivable that even if the Japanese cannot determine whether it is true or false, they will definitely be in chaos.
Chapter completed!
