After the establishment of the Lisha communication base station, Zhang Jian'an and Ning Xiaoman, who were in charge of external liaison in the division of labor, took over the task of maintaining 24-hour listening, did not take the initiative to contact without special circumstances, and avoided the technical interception of Chiba Island.

During this period, Liu Zichen visited Halloween Square non-stop for many days, and questioned Yu'er, Dongfang Yue, Wang Song and even Ke Ming (indirectly) and others in detail through the two-way contact between Shen Mingyue and Xiaoguoyuan, and gained some gains, of course, this is far from enough.

On the evening of the third day after the call for help was issued, Dongfangyue finally received a clear reply signal: the sea formation had successfully locked on the location of Chiba Island and approached to a suitable distance. However, they could not strike Chiba Island without permission from their superiors, unless Chiba Island attacked first. Dongfang Yue knew that this possibility was not very large, and with his understanding of the eighth master, his opponent was a brave and resourceful veteran professional soldier.

In a word, deterrence is deterrence, and the rest is still up to them, including rescuing hostages.

What Dongfang Yue didn't know was that at this time, Liu Zichen had already embarked on the path to Chiba Island, but fortunately, before walking into the stone bridge, Ning Xiaoman rushed to inform her of this important feedback news.

"Sister Zichen, why don't you go?" Ning Xiaoman said worriedly.

Liu Zichen thought for a while, and then said resolutely: "No, no matter what, we can't take the initiative to show our cowardice, otherwise Tianyu and their lives may be in danger." Although we now have the support force, the strength of Chiba Island should not be underestimated, so in order to avoid the eighth master suspecting the dark ghost and taking extreme measures, I still have to go this time. ”

Ning Xiaoman said hurriedly: "If they detain you again, won't we lose our troops again?"

Liu Zichen smiled slightly: "At that time, we were weak, Chiba Island didn't do anything to me, and now that the soldiers are in the city, we don't have to be afraid of them; ”

"The most important thing is to stabilize them, to know what is at stake, and to avoid losing both. Liu Zichen had made up his mind, and Ning Xiaoman had no choice but to turn around and go back to report the news.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Chiba Island, Hachima's small courtyard.

Hara Heihachiro met Liu Zichen alone, he really didn't expect that this bold woman would dare to come alone, so he also had a trace of admiration in his heart out of professional soldiers.

However, his face was not revealed: "Very good, the time limit we agreed on is almost up, I wonder if you have a reply to me?"

Liu Zichen smiled slightly: "Of course, I came this time to give the eighth master an explanation." However, whether my friend is safe or not also needs a clear answer from the eighth master. ”

"Rest assured, I'm a soldier who keeps my promises. Hara Heihachiro said lightly.

Liu Zichen bowed his head: "That's good, I'm also a person who keeps his word." ”

She stopped being verbose and went straight to the point: "After my investigation in the past few days, I suspect that this matter is purely carefully planned by Guan Jindao, trying to eradicate our official forces under the pretense of Chiba Island, and then lead the troubled waters to Chiba Island. She already knew the movements of the naval fleet, so she said this very confidently.

Hara Heihachiro remained silent, and said with a cold face: "Joke! Guan Jindao has been loyal to us for decades, how do I know if you are sowing discord?"

Liu Zichen chuckled: "Of course I have a basis, and I will never talk nonsense for no reason." With the wisdom of the eighth master, it is impossible to be fooled by a little woman of mine, right?" She already knew that the person in front of her obviously had the same suspicion in her heart, otherwise it would be impossible to give her a chance to investigate and explain.

"Speak. Hara Heihachiro was also dry, he nodded slightly to a little girl standing next to him, and the little girl bowed down and served Liu Zichen a cup of tea.

Liu Zichen nodded and thanked the girl, and thought for a while: "Eighth master, we don't say secret words, our last night attack was not aimed at Chiba Island, the goal was just to rescue a friend, you know the cause and effect of this incident, right?"

Haraji Heihachiro's face was grim, his eyes were level, he didn't know whether it was clear or not, he just waved his hand and motioned for her to continue.

"But in fact, this person was not in Chiba Island from beginning to end, but someone distorted the facts and tried his best to inform us that this person was detained by Chiba Island and his life was in danger at any time, doesn't the eighth master think there is a problem?......" Liu Zichen took a sip of tea, and did not taste the taste of this tea, but it was like barley tea in an ordinary restaurant.

"Who is this friend of yours? As far as I know, Chiba Island has not detained anyone except for this surprise attack of yours, and in recent years, I have been a little lazy. Hara Heihachiro said lightly.

Liu Zichen nodded: "It doesn't matter who it is, there is a fact that cannot be denied, we disturbed Chiba Island precisely to rescue a non-existent target, as for who revealed this news to us, I guess the eighth master has already guessed." ”

This time, Haraji Heihachiro nodded slightly: "Well, you continue." ”

"Okay, let's just think it's just a misunderstanding, then, at this time, there is a strange thing, how can we, who have never entered Chiba Island, be so familiar with the terrain of Chiba Island? Liu Zichen said slowly.

Haraji Heihachiro was not surprised: "You have the defense map of Chiba Island in your hands, so you are naturally familiar with it." ”

"But how can we have a defense map?" Liu Zichen asked rhetorically.

Hara Heihachiro snorted, "Someone must have provided it to you." ”

"Yes, we definitely can't buy such important military drawings, so who will provide us with such drawings?" Liu Zichen continued to prompt.

She struck while the iron was hot: "In the past few days, according to my investigation, in fact, the relationship between Chiba Island and Guan Jin Island is just an employment relationship, and most of the income belongs to Chiba Island, but the specific business operation is completely handed over to Guan Jin Island, may I ask, are they really convinced?"

Hara Heihachiro said lightly: "Everyone takes what they need, there is nothing to be convinced." What's more, without the protection of Chiba Island, Sekijin Island would not be able to make money. ”

"I understand this, but will long-term mental imbalance produce some different ambitions?" Liu Zichen held an attitude of letting you guess for yourself, avoiding talking to death.

Heihachiro Hara still did not show the leakage, but keenly grasped a loophole: "According to what you said, there are people on Sekijin Island who want to take the opportunity to bring down Chiba Island with the intention of taking advantage of the fisherman, is that what you mean? Or is it that the entire Sekijin Island is ready to be my enemy?"

Liu Zichen was noncommittal, she was thinking about countermeasures, but she pretended to be drinking tea.

Hara Heihachiro said suddenly: "If I tell you now that you attacked Chiba Island at night, someone has already informed us that Chiba Island is deliberately luring the enemy deep and then taking the opportunity to catch you all, do you believe it?

Although Liu Zichen was calm as usual, he was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that as the eighth master said, Beiting and his party had fallen into a carefully laid trap.

She didn't panic, she just chuckled: "If that's the case, why did the Eighth Master have to deal with the little girl for so long, and the defense map is such an important military secret, the Eighth Master is really so generous, and it is easy to fake others? ”

Heihachiro Haraji didn't speak, but lightly slapped his palm three times.

An old man with a dignified face walked out of the back hall unhurriedly, and it turned out to be Ke Hongyou, the lord of Guan Jin Island.

"Hongyou, can you explain to this girl?" a strange and mocking smile appeared on Haraji Heihachiro's face.

Liu Zichen was shocked, confronted in the court, she was really unprepared, she couldn't hold back the tension in her heart, she had an idea, and asked preemptively: "Master Ke, since you are open and honest, I didn't say a word of lie just now, right?"

Ke Hongyou glanced at her coldly: "Miss Zichen, what you said is roughly right, but this is all a predetermined plan between me and the Eighth Master, and the purpose is to let you be revealed." Do you think that just a few empty words from a yellow-haired girl can confuse the public and sow discord?"

Changing into an elbow, Liu Zichen knew that she had no way out, she decided to make a desperate bet and continue to gamble on whether the relationship between these two people was really unbreakable.

"Eighth master, please forgive the little girl. Have you ever imagined that it is entirely possible for this Ke Island Lord to secretly cross Chen Cang on the plank road, cooperate with you on the surface, and lie that he will jointly set up a plot to destroy us, but he has other plans in secret? It is true to join forces against us, and it is also true to lure the naval fleet to Chiba Island, as long as Chiba Island is destroyed, he can rightfully replace him and become the new overlord of Chiba Island...... The poisonous plan of killing three birds with one stone is really scheming and ill-intentioned!"

Ke Hongyou suddenly changed color, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, where did the naval fleet come from, do you think the eighth master will believe your words? Our Ke family is loyal to the eighth master, how can we allow you to slander you? You are looking for death! uh......

With a sudden crisp sound, Ke Hongyou clutched his chest in disbelief, a wisp of bright red color slowly overflowed from his hand, and his eyes revealed despair and incomprehension.

Hara Heihachiro stood behind him, put away the delicate silent pistol without changing his face, and said coldly: "Hongyou, no matter what this little girl said is true or not, anyway, you are also old, and many things are really powerless, and you can't keep up with my rhythm." It's better to hand over the cause of Guan Jindao to Ke Ming from now on, you have worked for me for so many years, and I will never treat your children and grandchildren badly. Let a young man like Ke Ming take over as soon as possible, I am also purely thinking about your Ke family, don't you say?"

"Eighth Master, you ...... You ......" Ke Hongyou opened his eyes and pointed angrily at Hara Jiheihachiro, but his tall body slowly fell to the ground, although he knew the danger of seeking skin with the tiger, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

Hara Heihachiro put his hands behind his back and turned around unmoved: "Come on, drag him out to feed the fish." ”

Several Japanese sergeants quickly walked in and dragged the body away, skilfully wiping the blood as if it were commonplace.

Looking at Liu Zichen's stunned expression, Hara Jiheihachiro looked at Liu Zichen slyly: "What, you're scared? Isn't this exactly what you want to fight for? People who are enemies of me will always have the same fate...... Also, I admire you, so you can stay in Chiba Island with peace of mind in the future. ”

At the gunfire just now, a few drops of blood splashed on Liu Zichen's face, making her feel the fear that was close at hand for the first time.

Hahaha! Hara Heihachiro laughed out loud a few times and then left happily, leaving Liu Zichen alone, trembling and standing in the living room.
