Dong Zhengguo lit a stick of incense with a solemn expression, muttered something in his mouth, then inserted it into the incense burner and bowed to say goodbye.
This is the mourning hall Li Cuiqun set up for Lu Changxin inside No. 76.
The mourning hall was set up secretly. After all, according to the Japanese, Lu Changxin finally chose to commit suicide because of the murder of Fushimi Gong Junyou.
Cao Yu held a cigarette in his hand and watched this scene calmly. He handed a cigarette to Dong Zhengguo, who winked at him after taking the cigarette.
The two came to the rooftop to smoke.
"Have you found anyone?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"She has disappeared long ago." Cao Yu shook his head and then sneered, "This woman is not simple, she left very decisively."
News of Lu Changxin's death in Qingdao spread back to Shanghai. Before Li Cuiqun and others returned to Shanghai by ship, Lu Changxin's concubine took the money and fled Shanghai.
Li Cuiqun was furious and ordered his men to dig three feet into the ground to find the woman.
…
"No one thought that Chief Lu went to Qingdao and lost his life there." Dong Zhengguo sighed.
"I heard that Section Chief Lu was..." Cao Yu looked around and asked in a low voice, "He was killed by the Japanese."
"Where did you hear the rumor?" Dong Zhengguo narrowed his eyes and said.
"Brothers all say so in private." Cao Yu said.
Dong Zhengguo, who wanted to warn Cao Yu not to talk nonsense, shook his head. The real cause of Lu Changxin's death should have been extremely secret, but now it was widely circulated within No. 76. This must be someone adding fuel to the fire.
So, who is behind this?
This made Dong Zhengguo very alert, his heart sank, and he decided not to get involved in this matter.
Cao Yu took out a gold watch from his body, "I heard that my brother's pocket watch was broken, and my little brother just happened to touch a watch..."
Dong Zhengguo took the gold watch and looked at the smiling Cao Yu. He asked calmly, "This watch is not cheap. As the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit. Brother, this is..."
"Brother, aren't you just saying this?" Cao Yu said with a smile, "Brother, you happen to be short of this thing. I happen to have an extra in my hand. It's just a dead object. Instead of collecting dust in the box, it's better to let it
Contribute to peace and salvation of the country.”
"Brother Cao, you have such a clever mouth." Dong Zhengguo smiled and fumbled with his gold watch, "It seems that in order to better devote myself to the work of peace and national salvation, I must accept this watch."
"It must be accepted."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
…
Extraordinary courses.
On the steps of the stairs, Cheng Qianfan, leaning on a crutch, stepped onto the steps with another person almost at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled.
"you first."
"Miyazaki-kun, please."
"You know me?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised.
He didn't have much impression of the person in front of him. Could it be that he was newly transferred to the special high school class from somewhere else?
The most important thing is that this person called him 'Miyazaki-kun', not 'Mr. Cheng', 'Mr. Cheng', etc.
This shows that this person knows his identity, whether he knows the identity of "Kentaro Miyazaki" or the identity of "Kazuo Miyazaki".
In the former case, Kentaro Miyazaki's identity is a certain level of confidentiality within the Special High School Class, or 'Miyazaki Kazuo' is Cheng Qianfan's Japanese name. In most cases, these ordinary agents within the Special High School Class are more likely to use Cheng Qianfan's name.
Addressing him based on his status, especially those agents who have obtained the 'Jiujiu Trading' vouchers, will often warmly address him as 'Mr. Cheng'.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan is more inclined to think that this person refers to him as "Kentaro Miyazaki".
This makes Cheng Qianfan not interested in this person. When a person whom you have no impression of has a very complete understanding of you, even involving confidential information, he will not want to be with you more.
Be friends, especially within the secret service.
…
"Miyazaki-kun, didn't you hear my voice?" Shinji Hirai smiled slightly and cleared his throat, "Cheng Sang, the section chief is available from 3:15 to 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon..."
Cheng Qianfan looked at the other party in astonishment, and then revealed a look of realization, "It turns out that you answered my call yesterday."
"Super High School Zheng Zhishi, Hirai Shinji." Hirai Shinji stretched out his hand.
"Hirai-kun, nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly, looked at his crutches, and apologized to Hirai Shinji.
"How is Miyazaki-kun's injury?" Shinji Hirai asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, "The recovery is going quite smoothly."
"That's good." Shinji Hirai raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, "The section chief should be waiting for you. Miyazaki-kun, follow me up."
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
He specially used his cane to extend his hand to invite Shinji Hirai to go ahead, and was one step behind Hirai Shinji.
Hirai Shinji saw this in his eyes and raised a proud smile at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at Shinji Hirai's back, Cheng Qianfan's eyes were gentle and a warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't have much impression of Hirai Shinji from Zheng Zhi's room. This person seemed to pop up suddenly:
The call he made to Mimotojiro's office was answered by Shinji Hirai. The most important thing is that Cheng Qianfan did not get the opportunity to talk to Mimotojiro on the phone yesterday - Shinji Hirai held the phone in the middle and passed it.
Obviously, this was approved by Sanbonjiro.
But today, when he came to visit Sanbonjiro, Shinji Hirai actually took the initiative to lead the way enthusiastically.
From a human psychological point of view, whether Shinji Hirai did it subconsciously or deliberately to show off, he was treating himself as the master of the family.
In addition, Shinji Hirai seems to have a warm attitude, but he is not polite when facing a disabled person like himself. This in itself is enough to explain a lot of problems.
How long has it been since I came to the Special High School to report on my work? Where did such a guy come from?
Also, what is the meaning of Mimotojiro allowing Shinji Hirai to treat his sincere confidant like this?
Are you, the section chief, simply expressing dissatisfaction with his ability, attitude, or performance of something?
Or...a measure of sincerity.
…
Come to the second floor corridor.
To reach the section manager's office in the middle of the corridor, you have to pass by Araki Harima's office just to the side.
Coincidentally, Araki Harima walked out of the office, stretched, and then turned around and saw Kentaro Miyazaki.
"Miyazaki-kun, how are you injured?" Araki Harima was very happy and walked up to ask with concern.
"Two days ago, I could only use a wheelchair, but now I can use crutches." Cheng Qianfan was very happy to see Araki Harima.
"Just in time." Araki Harima walked back to the office, "I have prepared several birthday gifts for Nobutora, and I don't know which one Nobutora likes. You, a father, can help me give some advice."
Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
With Shinji Hirai leading him, it was impossible for Araki Harima not to know that he was here to meet Sanbonjiro. Under such circumstances, Araki Harima intercepted him midway for a legitimate reason.
He knew Araki Harima well and immediately knew that Araki Harima had something to say to him.
"Araki-kun is interested." Cheng Qianfan looked very happy and walked into Araki-Harima's office on crutches.
Then he turned to look at Shinji Hirai with an embarrassed look, "Please Hirai-kun please tell the section chief that Miyazaki will come over right away."
"Okay, okay." Shinji Hirai's expression changed slightly, and then he said calmly with a half-smiling expression, "But Miyazaki-kun, please come here quickly, so we don't want to keep the section chief waiting too long."
"Thanks for the reminder." Cheng Qianfan took a deep look at Shinji Hirai and said.
…
After entering the room, Cheng Qianfan's expression darkened.
"Bag Yaluo." He looked at Araki Harima, frowned and asked, "What's going on with this stupid and weird guy?"
Cheng Qianfan said, tapping the cane on the ground, "When did this headquarters have such a shameless smiling tiger?"
"What's wrong?" Araki Harima said with a smile, "I see that you and Hirai Shinji are having a very happy conversation."
Hearing Araki Harima calling Hirai Shinji directly and the teasing tone, Cheng Qianfan still didn't understand that Araki Harima also had a bad opinion of this person, and it was even possible that Araki Harima and Hirai Shinji had a bad relationship.
"Okay, Mr. Araki." Cheng Qianfan said impatiently, "It's not like you didn't hear. This guy just deliberately said not to keep the section chief waiting too long. He is a villain who speaks treacherously and sows dissension."
"Hahaha." Seeing his friend's angry look, Araki Harima couldn't help laughing, and then he quickly said before Kentaro Miyazaki could get angry at him, "I went out specifically to intercept Miyazaki-kun, just to talk to you.
Let’s talk about this Hirai Shinji.”
"This guy has ill intentions towards me, I can feel it." Cheng Qianfan snorted and said, "He is a new transfer to the headquarters? Why don't I have any impression of this guy?"
"No, Hirai Shinji is from Zheng Zhishi. He was transferred to Shanghai from Suzhou more than a year ago." Araki Harima shook his head and said, "It's just that this guy has always been very low-key in Zheng Zhishi. He can even use
It's very common to describe it, so you just didn't notice this person."
"Is this so?" Cheng Qianfan looked surprised, with an expression of disbelief, "Such an insidious guy actually..."
He frowned and asked, "For such a villain, how could Hirai Shinci be so favored by the section chief?"
When he said this, Cheng Qianfan's expression and words revealed undisguised dissatisfaction and jealousy.
…
No. 76, Jisfield Road.
Dong Zhengguo flicked the ashes from his cigarette, then bit the cigarette and offered a cigarette to Cao Yu.
The two chatted for a while, and Dong Zhengguo left on the grounds that he still had official business to deal with.
Looking at Dong Zhengguo's leaving figure, Cao Yu's eyes were deep, and there was a hint of a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. The sun was shining, and it was projected on half of his ears on that side. Cao Yu couldn't help but subconsciously rubbed his ears.
itch.
Dong Zhengguo returned to his office. He took out the gold watch from his pocket, but his brows furrowed slightly.
What did Cao Yu want to do by suddenly giving him such an expensive gift?
