Ma Shouhua confirmed without hesitation: "I have been living here since I called Jinmen." ”

Chen Yanping's pen paused for a moment, and in addition to the contempt that couldn't be concealed, there was also a little envy in his light smile, "His news is really easy, especially compared to the colleague in our company, she is really ......."

Ji Bingzhi understood what he meant, but he was always silent. She has a lot of clues like this, and if she points out any of them, she can not only end the lawsuit immediately, but also completely expose the mastermind behind the scenes to the sun. However, she always remembered what Ma Shouhua said: There are no regrets in this life when you die on the battlefield, and you will never look blind when you fall to the Jinmen guards!

I only heard Ma Shouhua continue to narrate: "Secretary Yu told Ma Ren that although our general Ma has the same surname as your family, and you and your youngest son have the same word 'Shou', their age and experience are different. What does the serious old lady of the Ma family look like here, several of our old subordinates know it, you are looking for a son and recognize the wrong person, hurry up and look elsewhere. As for Ma Ren, he insisted that as long as he met me, he would know if it was true. As soon as I heard this, there was nothing wrong with it, whether it was true or false, I couldn't have an eyebrow, so I agreed to meet him. ”

"What about after the meeting?"

"Ma Ren looked at me, shook his head again and again, and said, 'No, no, it's wrong.'" Ma Shouhua raised his hand and touched his head as he spoke, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "By the way, didn't you go to audit, Ma Ren is short and has nothing to do with my body at all!"

After hearing such antecedents, Chen Yanping was even more puzzled: "Then why did you go to the court to sue you later?"

Ma Zhanshan sighed, stood up and said, "Then it's a long story, after a few months, Ma Ren came again and talked about the car wheel that lost his son. All the people here who have taken pictures of my father when he was alive, or who have followed me back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, have taken turns to explain to him, and it is useless to be stunned, he just admits this death. As he spoke, he opened the drawer of his desk, picked up a letter between his fingers, and shook his head helplessly at Chen Yanping.

###

said that Chen Yanping was making rapid progress, and Li Fengzhu was not idle. At about half past ten, she took a tram and walked around the major foreign companies in the Japanese concession.

"Excuse me, I want to buy this incense. ”

The clerk took the incense that Li Fengzhu brought and smelled it, knowing that it was not his own goods, he still smiled and asked her to wait, and then took the same amount from the counter and gave it to her. Unfortunately, she didn't come to buy it for pleasure, and she couldn't accept a substitute: "It doesn't taste like it's the same." ”

"Then you can take a look elsewhere. "The clerk can only regret sending off customers.

There are too many conversations like this, and Li Fengzhu, who is already in trouble, almost loses his patience. Walking to the few shops at the end of the street, she didn't even bother to look up at the signboard before entering.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly became clear, and finally a person from a foreign company swore and replied: "This incense comes from the mainland of Japan, and there are many expatriates who come to ask, but unfortunately there are not many goods, and there are at most three foreign companies that we can get the goods." ”

"How to sell it?" Li Fengzhu glared at his bloodshot eyes when he heard this, and he was overjoyed and ready to take out the money.

The clerk turned around and saw her take out a whole bill and stuff it over, and knew that this was a business that could sit on the ground and raise the price. didn't speak, just smiled and took it, and casually drew two change bills and returned them. He said, "Is the guest officer going to give it away?" I'll wrap it for you beautifully. ”

Li Fengzhu looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was more than ten minutes before twelve o'clock, and he rushed back to the office to talk to Shanghai on the phone first, and then had a small meeting with Xu Chen and the others, and there was still more than half a day left to prepare for tomorrow's trial. The calculation in my heart was quite smooth, and I couldn't help but smile on my lips.

But in the next second, fear and panic replaced lightness and pleasure. A Japanese soldier brought in a group of plainclothes soldiers, who shouted "temporary inspection, all come out," and purposefully interrogated the customers in the foreign store: "Documents!"

In the shortest possible time, Li Fengzhu memorized the clothes and faces of several plainclothes in his mind, and then calmly took out his documents.

The plainclothes who came up were about the same height as her, wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes, no different from ordinary Chinese people.

"Occupation. ”

The pronunciation of these two words is effective information, and the probability of not being able to make a tongue roll sound, and being short in stature is not large.

Li Fengzhu smiled before he could say anything: "Accountant." ”

In the past few years, he has lived in the Japanese Concession and worked in the British Concession, and he has trained Li Fengzhu to be completely calm and calm in the face of identity checks. After 918, the Japanese launched the highest level of control measures in their sphere of influence in order to blockade the news of the Northeast, and reporters became a thorn in their side for a while. Therefore, while Li Fengzhu obtained the qualification of a reporter, he enrolled in a business cram school at night school, and through the secret operation of the Jinmen Times, he had a secure professional identity. In the absence of clear clues and intelligence, Chinese with official status and occupation, as long as they remember to laugh more and talk less, will always be able to pass the test.

"What did you buy?"

Shangsheng didn't pronounce it right, and cherished the words like gold, there is no doubt that he is Japanese.

Li Fengzhu's smile never dared to disappear, and replied softly: "Hmm...... An incense from your hometown. My boss is, huh...... He is very ...... Japanese culture, "She deliberately dragged out her tone very long, euphemistically stating the nationality of plainclothes, and the result was not denied.

Another plainclothes person casually stood up from the side and asked, "Dare to ask, who is your company?"

Li Fengzhu still maintained the habit of smiling in front, and recalled the pronunciation and words of this person at the moment when his eyes intertwined, and secretly guessed that the later person was very likely to be the role of a traitor, and then replied: "A small bookstore near the library, the surname on the counter, the surname is ......."

No, a group of people were randomly checking a store at the same time, and the surrounding shops were not affected, which should be a premeditated inspection with a strong purpose. There is another suspicion, the identity check in the Japanese concession is handed over to the Japanese police for action. Think back to the scene where the spies of the Nozaki Mansion burst into the Chen Kee tailor shop and arrested people, and they were wearing Japanese uniforms. However, why did they disguise themselves as plainclothes of the Chinese people to search this time? Could it be that they had a clear target to follow and were ready to take people when they saw the opportunity?

So, who are you going to take?

This change of thought suddenly gave Li Fengzhu a sense of crisis. The person who slipped into the apartment could also be a Japanese spy to search her for the progress of her investigation into the abandonment case.

Just as she was thinking, a passing car suddenly stopped less than five paces away from her, making a screeching sound of brakes.

"Miesli!"

Li Fengzhu looked up and saw Tang Shubai, who had a solemn expression, vigorously pushed open the back door, sat with his legs apart, and stared at people with a bit of gang sharpness. He's in the back seat, so the car isn't his private driver.

Turning his eyes to the license plate, it was the sign of the consulate. Looking back, there was a man in a black suit in the back seat. left a short sanitary mustache, and most of his face was covered by Tang Shubai. It should be a high-ranking official of the consulate.

But from the standpoint of the consulate, Tang Shubai was still a dangerous person yesterday, why did he have a bit of a guest at this time?

"What a coincidence. Tang Shu greeted with a smile and closed the door shut, and a vague "goodbye" was caught in the noise, making people not hear it very really.

The plainclothes people looked at the people in the car, turned their heads and looked at Li Fengzhu at the same time, and then evacuated as if nothing had happened.

Li Fengzhu took his documents, closed his eyes slightly, and thought about it repeatedly, and soon had a new speculation. It is true that Japanese agents are following her, but the reason may be different from what was guessed five seconds ago. Through Sakamoto Lin Zhi's misunderstanding, it is certain that Li Fengzhu and Tang Shubai have been tied together in their circle. And he is free of action at the moment, and he should have just resolved the crisis. In the style of a Japanese spy, the crisis is not only directed at him, but also all the "close people" around him. Therefore, the first time he was free, he declared his innocence with a brief appearance, and by the way, there was also a warning. The spy saw with his own eyes that Tang Shubai could sit in the consulate's car again, so he naturally gave up the operation.

###

The facts were indeed as Li Fengzhu expected, Tang Shubai completely reversed the situation with his three-inch incorruptible tongue: "Consul Goto, if I am really the mastermind behind the scenes, I really can't wait to take the position, I will never use such a clumsy method." For example, it is rumored that I solved my ex by accident, although that is not the best policy, after all, it is still a hundred times better than instigating an assassination with no chance of winning. ”

Heijiro Goto, the newly arrived vice consul, was full of confusion about everything here, especially questioning: "Is that car accident really none of your business?"

Tang Shubai lit a cigar and sneered: "I didn't think it before, but now, I think it's probably because of me." ”

Goto let out a long breath of turbid air and leaned back, "You explain both things as - blame?"

Mars continued to rise and fall with Tang Shubai's hand, and the trajectory drawn in mid-air could fully reflect his violently fluctuating emotions at the moment: "President Fang has taught more than once that before there is a new situation in North China, infighting is a big taboo. But there is a tricky problem here, although I don't move, there are still people who are not willing to be lonely. If you have murderous intentions and then pour dirty water on me, it's like killing two birds with one stone!"

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' plan is very thorough, and when the bribery is at a certain stage, it is time to test the loyalty of the team. However, the mess in Tsumon made Goto very sad: "Is there a suspicion?"

Tang Shubai smiled and spat out a puff of white smoke: "The old people of Beiyang, the new upstart of the national government...... They all seem to be good at these means. ”

Because of his sneer, Goto's face became a little ugly: "You mean that the partners selected by our consulate are not qualified?"

"The problem lies in the word 'urgent', once something is done in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes. Tang Shubai moved to the middle, "Consul Goto, you must know that it is easy to conquer the land, but it is difficult to conquer the hearts of the people. I am young, and I have the capital and ambition to create a new situation. But are you so patient to wait for that day? Except for people like President Fang, who have been loyal to the empire for half their lives, the rest of the wall grass is naturally all eager for quick success. Ten years later, the empire, ten years later, North China, they don't care, they just want to make a big profit, and then cross the ocean to enjoy leisure. ”

Goto shook his head and groaned, "But, it's only three months......"
