Chapter 49: Retreat

Because Li Fengzhu is a first-time visitor, he is not familiar with the road, so he naturally has to follow slowly. And Mayumi Kaneda is dressed in a grand and beautiful costume, and the small steps are really slow. They were only five or six paces away, but within a few steps there was already a conversation in the room.

"By the way, if my brother can meet Mr. Yuanshan later, you can bring one for me!"

"Has Tang Jun been busy lately?"

"It's still the same, it's just that it's strange that Mr. Toyama likes to go to bed early lately, so it's not likely to be able to meet. By the way, is he busy?"

"I guess I changed my lifestyle for the sake of my body. ”

"Also, business here is much more stable than when it first opened, so you don't have to drink with your customers until dawn. ”

Li Fengzhu listened attentively, and found that Tang Shubai's every sentence was very relaxed, and there was hardly any time to think. Sakamoto Hayashi Tomoto is different, and every time he answers, he has to be stunned for more than a second. I don't know if it's a habit, or if it's deliberately avoiding, I hope to talk about it when she is far away. Although Li Fengzhu wanted to hear more content, he couldn't arouse the suspicion of others for the clues on the two of them, so he could only regret letting the conversation below slip away in vain. But at the very least, she also confirmed that the new owner of the Toyama Mansion was indeed "coincidentally" running an izakaya that often entertained spies and traitors across the street from the Ta Kung Pao Mansion.

Sakamoto Lin Zhi looked at Tang Shubai, who was not as energetic as in the past no matter what he did or said today, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Shubai, you shouldn't have mentioned Yuanshanjun just now." ”

Tang Shubai understood his scruples, thought about it for a while, and then replied: "What does it matter if you ask, I have a good relationship with the overseas Chinese in the Japanese Concession." Unless someone turns their heads and deliberately provokes the matter, it is not taboo to care about friends. Here, he stretched out his finger and rubbed it on one eyebrow bone several times, and the corners of his mouth were raised, "I have always respected your wishes and tried to treat you as an outsider. Are you going to go back and report it in every detail, saying that I don't pay attention to secrecy?"

Sakamoto Hayashi raised his glass and explained, "I am grateful to you for respecting my position, so I kindly remind you that this lady who is now worshiped by you as a god and ordered you to fall for is really not suitable to know even the slightest little thing about Toyama-kun. ”

Tang Shubai was invited to raise his glass and touch it, and gestured a few times with his hand in mid-air: "I think the deep meaning of the location of the izakaya is to make the unsuitable become suitable." It's you—" The elongated tone suddenly stopped, and he just looked up and down, and said no more.

Sakamoto Hayashi was stared at uncomfortably, raised his hand and touched his chin: "What's wrong with me?"

Tang Shubai frowned tightly and said: "Say that you are loyal to the emperor, you don't want to put the great future of the navy aside; say that you hate war and sympathize with the weak, and you don't relax in your work at all." I've been thinking a lot lately, are you really the same traveler with me?"

Recently, the Japanese Consulate has frequently adjusted and reorganized its subordinate institutions, which was a necessary preparation before the war. The Japanese do not have much trust in the Chinese who surrender, and from the information available to the consulate, vigilance is absolutely necessary. Even people who rebelled against the country gathered together, greeted their bosses with their will, and disdained their colleagues and six relatives. If something happens, they collude up and down, conceal it and do not report it.

For these situations, Sakamoto Hayashi knows a little bit. If this matter is combined with Tang Shubai's performance of not leaving the whistleblower, I am afraid that the fire of the consulate has already burned to the daily news agency.

"It seems that you looked away with people and things last night, right?" Sakamoto Hayashi raised his eyes, and when he got a positive look, his expression became relieved, "I said, you are really a little ...... today."

Tang Shubai was annoyed, and his fist hit his forehead one by one: "My mistake is the opponent's chance." As he spoke, he looked at the other side, with a hint of request in his tone, "For the sake of our good relationship in the past, give me an answer, so that I know how bad I know how bad I am at seeing people." ”

Sakamoto Hayashi Tomoto avoided this topic very much, personally took the wine cup from Keiko Kawashima, and poured it over the table: "You should be a very good Jedi counterattacker." ”

Tang Shubai put his palm on the wine glass, and without saying a word, he focused his gaze on Sakamoto Lin Zhi.

In desperation, Sakamoto Lin Zhi had to ask him with a smile: "Do you want to ask Sakamoto, or Lin Zhi?"

"Isn't it different?" Tang Shubai slowly let go of his hand and asked rhetorically with confusion, he neither understood nor understood Sakamoto Hayashi's complex state of mind.

As soon as Sakamoto Hayashi picked up his chopsticks, he put them down again, his knuckles lightly clasped on the table, and he could see that he was tired of constantly explaining his position: "Why do you have to choose a side? I think love and peace are the themes of the future world." When the dust settles, we will all be ashamed to look back at the ugly face now. I don't want to get involved in the mid-day issue, I just want to be an idler. But I can't get rid of my old friendship, and I really can't refuse Nozaki Shaosa's invitation. Since I promised to work for him for three months, I naturally had to abide by my promise, and there was no reason to slack off. Therefore, I must correct your mistakes, but only to correct them. In fact, I am proud to say that in this circle, I think I am the one who is the most sober and the most pure in human nature. ”

Tang Shubai sighed first and then said, "You can think about it...... But you're different from me, and you can be right wherever you go. ”

Sakamoto Hayashi asked along the topic: "Since you have to talk about this, I will also ask to understand." Sakamoto and Lin Zhi, together they are two forks in the road, if we want to go the same way, which one will be the same?"

I saw Tang Shubai looking at the ceiling with white eyes, and sighed with emotion: "According to my meaning, I always want to lift myself to a high place, but today there is a lady who loves to tear down the stage, I'm afraid it's better not to boast." Why don't you just ...... Fortune road. After making enough money, I really want to live an ordinary life. Wife and children hot kang head, do you understand this?"

Judging from the state of mind in which he said this, I am afraid that he is no longer just worried about the matter of the consulate adjusting the organs. Sakamoto Hayashi secretly exchanged a look with Keiko Kawashima, and then said to Tang Shubai: "But your performance in front of the lady today is not good." Speaking of which, Tang Jun should understand these truths very well. ”

"Yes, yes......"

Sakamoto Hayashi said with a smile: "It's about a human relationship, and because it's true to this person, it's hard to use reason." ”

Tang Shubai frowned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Chinese is getting better and better." Then he glanced at the wall clock and muttered, "How long has this been?" before the words fell, and put on his shoes and went out to find someone.

Keiko Kawashima craned her neck and waited for him to be far away before kneeling to the other side and whispering in Japanese: "Sakamoto-kun, Tang Jun seems to have almost killed his president last night." ”

"Where did the news come from?" Sakamoto Hayashi froze, really startled, and didn't say anything else for a long time.

"Mr. Consul just left before you came. Keiko Kawashima snapped her fingers to remember how many songs she had sung in total, and then said, "We talked for almost two hours!"

No wonder Tang Shubai seems to have changed as a person, completely giving up his due vigilance, and all he says is retreating.

Thinking about it, Sakamoto Hayashi couldn't wait to follow up on the matter: "Quick, tell me in detail." ”

Keiko Kawashima smiled and recounted: "Tang Jun made an appointment with a guest last night to negotiate a huge antique business at the club, but who knew that the buyer turned out to be a killer. Fortunately, the bodyguards present reacted quickly, and the bullet only grazed President Fang's arm, and the doctor said that it would be good to rest for a while. Mr. Consul investigated the scene overnight, and the bullet was the most common gun on the market, and it was difficult to judge the mastermind. And Tang Jun, as the manager, at least made the mistake of slacking off his work. This may not seem like a big problem to the inferior people, but Mr. Consul would never entrust the great cause of the empire to such a person. ”

But even with such a major mistake, Tang Shubai is still here to explain that the results of the preliminary investigation did not sentence him to death. With his status in the newspaper office and even in the Japanese consulate today, it is very fatal if he has a different heart. But he is so scheming, and he will never do things without a calculation. It's a lot like the actions of some small scattered organization, naively fantasizing that if you kill a person in front of the stage, you can achieve some victory.

Then again, Jinmen is so uncalm, Fang Qian will always let Tang Shubai set up many checkpoints before meeting people, and he can only make an appointment after careful consideration. At this point, one cannot help but suspect that there is something strange in it. Or, to say a thousand things and ten thousand, the topic has to go back to the beginning. The Japanese military and political leaders in Tianjin have long reached an agreement, and the guilt of the Chinese who surrender to sincerity before others and prefer others to bear others is really a big hidden danger. Otherwise, without the help of the club's insiders, they will not fall into such an embarrassing situation as being calculated by small non-governmental organizations.

"The truth should not be simple. Sakamoto Lin Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, it was inevitable that he was a little active, and wanted to go back to the mansion to inquire about the matter, and waited to see if Tang Shubai, an old Jianghu, still had the ability to survive in a desperate situation this time.

###

said that Tang Shubai couldn't find Li Fengzhu's figure outside the bathroom on the second floor, so he went downstairs to find it.

Li Fengzhu relied on a little friendship when he first came, and secretly asked the waiter to come here to incense, and was carefully rolling up a handkerchief at the moment.

The moment she put the evidence in her briefcase, the voice she didn't want to hear landed overhead: "Do you need to collect evidence here for any new cases?"

Li Fengzhu's hand paused for less than a second, then he accelerated the bag behind his back, turned around and replied with a smile: "I want to take a humane standpoint to care about the Japanese women in Tianjin who have no choice but to laugh, so that you don't always say that I am a narrow nationalist." ”
