The noisy footsteps outside the office, the screeching phone ringing, and the messy documents on the desktop, none of them did not make Bai Yunfei feel uneasy in his heart, he wanted to go out for a walk, breathe, sometimes he really wanted to jump out of this circle, get rid of this deceit, and live a cautious life step by step, even if he is just a vendor, a small boss of a pharmacy, or a policeman, at least he goes out openly, he doesn't have to hide himself all the time, as long as he is better than pulling a foreign car on the street when he first came here, he is satisfied, Everything has changed since he saved that person, his fate has changed, although he is in a high position, but he has no himself, even the little girl who was a childhood sweetheart, and he is in awe when he sees himself again, completely without the intimacy of his childhood, time changes people, rights change people, the environment changes people, people do not change, and their hearts have changed.

There was a knock on the door, and the secretary Xiao Wang came in and sent the security plan for the welcome ball, saying that the special high school department had called in the afternoon, and asked Director Bai to go to the special high school at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon to discuss the plan with the military police captain.

"Got it, let's put this first," tomorrow afternoon's meeting, the morning is completely urgent, Bai Yunfei simply looked at the security process and the participants, when he saw the name of a participant, he dialed home: Wu Ma, find Xu Kai, Kaizi, let's go to the scene of the mountain case to see, no, no, don't drive, don't take the shortcut you know, follow the line explained by Li Shun, and see you at the stall that Li Shun said at half past five.

The sun is gradually setting, the heat in the air is not so anxious, the two of them walked through the downtown area, walking slowly according to Li Shun's route, just after the kiln factory, the sky was already completely dark, the barren suburbs were pitch black, only occasionally heard a few autumn insects, Xu Kai turned on the flashlight to shine forward, big brother, the reservoir in front is the place where Tang San put down Yamamoto, and he has to look ahead. Go, Bai Yunfei took the flashlight, came to the edge of the reservoir alone, as soon as his feet landed, his shoes were stained by the mud on the side of the reservoir, and he looked forward by the light of the flashlight, and he could see the ruts and so many footprints, because the footprints were few, not messy, and he could even distinguish the direction of walking, Bai Yunfei asked Xu Kai: What do you think?

Xu Kai returned: There are few footprints, and they are still very recognizable by the size, it looks like there are two people walking here, the one in front is left by Tang San, and the other one should be Li Shun.

"It's just that the scene is too clean, which makes it even more suspicious, after Li Shun went to the gendarmerie to report, what about the people who came to investigate the scene, and the people who carried Yamamoto's body into the car?"

What does big brother mean? Xu Kai asked suspiciously.

"One of the footprints is Tang San's, the other is Yamamoto's, he walked out by himself, he didn't die"

The situation was tense, you didn't come to the level to confirm, maybe there was a slight noise outside the door, he might have just fainted from lack of oxygen at that time. As for this Li Shun, it's just that Xu Hongping found a personal testimony in order to let Tang San be reasonably exposed, and he was interrogated this morning, he always looked at me and Li Shuhuai with empty eyes, and now it seems that it is not because he is afraid of the chief, but because he is looking at Xu Hongping, waiting for him to give him a hint.

At this time, Xu Kai's heart was full of guilt, and the little confidence he still carried in the morning was blown away, "Yamamoto shouldn't have seen me, I ambushed behind him, he wanted to turn back several times, but I didn't give him a chance"

Bai Yunfei lit a cigarette and took a hard breath, the scarlet flame was particularly dazzling in the dark night, "It's a mirror, Yamamoto saw you in the mirror, no matter how bad a person is, he won't forget the person who wants his life."

Xu Kai was shocked in his heart, but he was still a little lucky, "Big brother, there has been no movement in the extra-high school class in the past few days, and there are so many people coming and going in the whole building, even if they are all called over to check one by one in front of Yamamoto, I'm afraid it will take a while for them to investigate,"

Bai Yunfei said: Yamamoto has been working in this building for more than a year, except for the people and women he knows, in providing some characteristics of one or two killers, I am afraid that the scope of the investigation of the special high school is only a few dozen people, and the reason why they do not arrest people now is that the Japanese army does not want to have the news of the assassination of Japanese executives when the observation group comes, even if it is an assassination attempt.

At this time, a cool breeze blew, and both of them felt a chill, Xu Kai unconsciously closed the opening of his coat with both hands and asked: Big brother, when will the special high school class start? Before that, we have to find Yamamoto in advance to avoid this danger.

"It's only three days."

How do you know, Xu Kai asked with some surprise

"This afternoon, the special high school sent a plan and an invitation list to participate in the welcome party, including the two of us and Chang Chenghu."

"The commander of the city defense? Usually a big old man, a gathering of high-ranking officials and business dignitaries invites him to do something"

"Because on the day of Yamamoto's accident, he went to the office building of the Chamber of Commerce, and took advantage of this party to gather all the suspects together, and find an opportunity for Yamamoto to recognize people, which is to save trouble, and not to startle the snake, it is really exhaustive."

"Then I'll inform the hoe squad right now, and tell them to find Yamamoto in the next few days,"

"It's not that easy, Yamamoto must be well hidden by the Japanese now, tomorrow I'm going to the military headquarters and the special high school gendarmerie to discuss the security plan for the welcome ball, let's find out the exploitable loopholes, so as to deduce where Yamamoto may appear at the ball, and then find an opportunity to get rid of him."

"Big brother, whether this will be too risky, I don't care, but if something happens to you, the intelligence station we established in Nanjing will be ......"

"The consequences of a failed operation are always to be faced, and we will talk about it after tomorrow's security meeting." Bai Yunfei's tone had always been as calm as water, but he knew in his heart that if he couldn't find Yamamoto at the ball, then there would be endless troubles.

"Since it's a peaceful welcome ball, I don't recommend having military uniforms and plainclothes in the hall on the dance floor, which will make all the guests feel uneasy, the identity of the guests entering the venue, and whether they are in danger or not, what do you think?" At this time, the three of them had been discussing the security of the dance for more than an hour, and Takeda and Suzuki's proposal was to increase the number of people in the venue, ostensibly for safety reasons, but in fact it was to hold the assassin of Yamamoto after the dance and find out the anti-Japanese red line behind the scenes. Just as the three of them were arguing fiercely, Fujita just pushed open the door of the conference room, paced around the conference room casually for a while, and before he could sit down, the accompanying officer who came in with him immediately handed over a cup of hot tea, Fujita motioned for him to put the tea on the table, and said: "Let's do it according to Director Bai's plan, the theme of this conference is Japan-China friendship, to show the neutral country observer mission the new situation we have created here, I hope to make everyone forget the war, military uniforms need to appear on the battlefield.

"Hi," Takeda and Suzuki responded at about the same time. Bai Yunfei looked at the spirit of obedience of the two, and couldn't help but think that the spirit of the Japanese was really terrible, there were still two days before the action, he had already seen the process of the dance before, and he had already roughly guessed where Yamamoto might appear at the party that day, but before that day, no one knew the final result. When Fujita just left the office, he smiled at Bai Yunfei and said, "Bai San, I hope you can have a good time that day."

"Thank you, Fujita-kun" Bai Yunfei also responded to Fujita with a smile.

As soon as he got home and entered the door, Bai Yunfei instructed Wu's mother to go grocery shopping, "Let's go to the market today to buy a fish, and then buy some mutton dumplings, the fish and sheep are fresh enough when they are put together, oh yes, don't put sugar when cooking fish, I still can't get used to the taste of the south after so many years." ”

"Okay, I know you don't like sweets," Wu's mother agreed with a smile.

As soon as Wu's mother left, Xu Kai came to Bai Yunfei's room, Bai Yunfei hand-drew a structural map of the dance venue, and explained to Xu Kai while painting, "When the Japanese didn't come, this was originally a theater garden, directly in front of the stage, and the audience was divided into two floors. With a large kitchen, a warehouse, and a passage to the second-floor auditorium, where do you think Yamamoto is most likely to be there? ”

Xu Kai carefully looked at the construction diagram drawn by Bai Yunfei and said: Many people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will participate that day, and many of them know Yamamoto, if Yamamoto appears openly, it will inevitably attract everyone's attention. The gendarmerie and the special high school definitely didn't want the Assassins to know that Yamamoto was still alive in advance, so as not to startle the snake and cause chaos in the venue.

Bai Yunfei put one hand on his cheek, thought for a moment, nodded in agreement with Xu Kai's reasoning, and continued

"There is a part of the dance party where the guests come on stage to interact, and I think the special high school is likely to use this opportunity to let the suspect interact on the stage, and Yamamoto will stand in the audience on the second floor to recognize people."

"That's what I thought, too, but where was he going to be before? When it comes to the stage identification on the second floor, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to start, and the slightest noise on the second floor will attract the attention of the whole venue. Bai Yunfei said worriedly.

Xu Kai said: Chef, there were 7 chefs that day, and they all wore masks and hats when cooking, and Yamamoto could completely mix in them.

Bai Yunfei thought for a moment, "The possibility is very small, the chef that day has a clear division of labor, there are Western food, Japanese food and Chinese food, who does what is arranged in advance, and having an idler there will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of other chefs." ”

Bai Yunfei carefully looked at the layout of the prom building he had just drawn, and pointed to a position, Xu Kai looked at it and said: Warehouse?

"For this ball, the concierge department specially mixed a lot of foreign wine from Japan and Nanjing, and these wines must be kept at the banquet to prevent anyone from stealing them, and the storage of the warehouse only needs one person, which is the least likely to be exposed."

"I'll do it that day, big brother, you can't be exposed easily."

"No, Yamamoto has seen you, if I see you on the second floor, I'm afraid it will cause a commotion,"

"But in this way" Before Xu Kai finished speaking, Bai Yunfei said: Obey the arrangement, this is an order.

Time is like a loaded bullet, and as soon as the muzzle of the gun is released, it flies forward. At this time, Akio Takeda stood in his office, staring at the sun flag hanging on the wall. The color of the sun on this flag is not as warm as the sun, but it seems to be stained with the blood of hundreds of people. Takeda looked at it, often thinking of his hometown of Hokkaido, where the climate is distinct, not as hot as the summer in Shanghai, when it snows heavily in winter, the family sits around the fire and drinks miso soup, his father is a carpenter in the town, whose things are broken, his father relies on his own skillful hands, can always restore accurately, not only furniture, the neighbor's children's toys are broken, the father can also find a way to fix it, he is very enthusiastic about everyone, except for his own son, in Takeda's impression that the father is not allowed to shed tears, Once, because he was bullied by the neighbor's child, he cried to find his father, and wanted his father not to repair things for the neighbor in the future, but his father not only did not comfort him, but picked up the waste wood next to him and beat him, telling him that manly crying is a sign of incompetence, and don't look for him for such things in the future. So when he was a child, he was very afraid of his father, whenever he was wronged, he had to go to his sister, who smiled and listened to him every time, and when he was finished, he also cried, gently stroked his head, comforted himself, this picture seems to be yesterday. I don't know when it began, many people wearing military uniforms and holding sun flags appeared in the town, and they often went from house to house preaching. It was then that Takeda got to know this flag, and then the eldest child who was bullied by the neighbor followed the man in military uniform, and then it came that the front line needed condolences and the production of military supplies, and the girls in the town were called to go to the factory and the front line, and my sister was forced to leave the house and followed the person in military uniform, and at noon on the day my sister left, many people on the street waved this flag to say goodbye, as if it was not a parting at this moment, but a kind of honor. Compared with the madness of the crowd around him, only he and his father were sad, because he knew that his father had drunk all night by himself the night before his sister left, and he crawled outside the sliding door, as if he heard his father's cry. He hated the war, and he hated these resisters even more, he mistakenly believed that it was because of these people that the war could not be ended, and everything he did was to hope to end the war as soon as possible and return to his hometown to reunite with his father and sister. Today's wine and food were of no interest to him at all, and he only wanted to catch the assassin who must have appeared at the banquet, this time close at hand, not looking for a needle in a haystack. Less than three o'clock in the afternoon, a few hours before the dance party that began at seven o'clock, Takeda arrived early and sat down in an inconspicuous corner, hiding himself like a cat, waiting for the prey to appear.

Just after six o'clock, the venue gradually became noisy, people entered the venue with invitations one after another, these so-called upper-class people with wine glasses, talking about economy and business everywhere, greeting each other, false compliments one after another, the palatial decoration, the intoxicating aroma of fine wine, as if making people forget the war, Baiyun Fei walked between the crowd, it seemed a little out of place, he was tired of the hypocrisy here, so he walked out of the crowd and came to a table, the waiter asked Mr. very politely Do you want red wine or champagne? I want champagne, thank you.

"Big Brother Bai, are you here today?" Bai Yunfei turned around, only to see a girl wearing a white cheongsam and a little twisted walking posture calling him, Bai Yunfei saw her walking like this and said: The first time I wear high heels, I am not used to walking, the girl saw him and saw it, so she replied naughtily: How do you see it, I will wear it in the future, I will definitely not let you see it, Brother Bai, the girl was a little shy, blushed and said: The dance will start in a while, can you come and invite me to dance, Bai Yunfei did not answer directly, said: After a while, he looked at the stage, The curtain on the stage has been drawn, and through the cracks in the curtain, the staff can be seen preparing, and it is clear that the show is about to begin. Seeing that he didn't answer positively, the girl was a little anxious and didn't show it too obviously, so she only said that I will sit there and don't forget it for a while.

As soon as Bai Yunfei and Xu Kai took their seats, the lights of the venue suddenly dimmed, the curtain of the stage slowly opened, and Fang Mengyun, a well-known singer in Shanghai, took the stage surrounded by 7 or 8 dancing girls. It attracted the attention of the audience. Bai Yunfei took the opportunity to get up, walked from the edge of the field to the stairs, and just went up to the second floor when he heard the sound of the stairs, and someone was following him? He stood still and untied the radar watch in his hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and pretended to wipe the watch, the watch is very beautiful, the watch body and strap are steel, but the buckle side of the strap has been sharpened like a knife, Bai Yunfei came to the toilet, took off his coat, hung it on the hook behind the door, just hung up the clothes and the door opened, the person who followed him turned out to be on the toilet, Bai Yunfei breathed a long sigh of relief, only to see that the person who came found a pit and squatted, and soon after squatting, there was a sound of objects falling, and it was really good to think about the digestive tract. Bai Yunfei put on his coat and walked straight towards the warehouse, at this time there was thunderous applause downstairs, obviously the first show has been performed, and there is a Japanese cherry blossom dance and European jazz dance behind, obviously the Japanese have been preparing for this conference for a long time, showing their cultural tolerance in front of the observation group, he must solve Yamamoto before the end of the program, otherwise it will be Fujita's speech and guest interaction, Bai Yunfei came to the door of the warehouse and took a deep breath, took out his watch from his pocket, and pushed the door open, Seeing a short man wearing a mask sitting on a chair, his entry obviously surprised the people who were sitting, now is not the time for the waiter to serve the wine, Bai Yunfei came in and said to him: Yamamoto-kun, the observation group is very interested in our wine today, Chief Fujita asked me to prepare 20 bottles to send to the hotel where they stayed, Yamamoto heard someone call his name, instinctively raised his head, and with the arrogance of the Japanese, raised his chin, signaled that the wine was there, go and get it yourself. At this moment, Bai Yunfei rushed up and grabbed his chin with his left hand, so that Yamamoto's throat was exposed as much as possible, holding the watch in his right hand, and slashing his neck with a sharp buckle, at this time Yamamoto was like an ant burned by a cigarette butt, his limbs were constantly twitching, Bai Yunfei pressed him on the table, comforting him and said: It doesn't hurt, soon, don't move. After doing all this, Bai Yunfei went to the toilet to wash his hands and then calmly returned to the venue, at this time the second show had just ended, Xu Kai's forehead was already oozing beads of sweat, Bai Yunfei couldn't help but joke when he saw this: Watching a show is also nervous like this, one day I will really use Li Shuhuai's medicine to make up for you. Xu Kai saw that he was nervous and asked calmly: Is the matter done? Bai Yunfei replied: I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm rusty.

After a few cheering performances, the lights on the live stage turned on again, and Fujita took to the stage to begin the so-called peace speech, and their arrival improved people's livelihoods, as well as the misunderstanding caused by false reports about them. Everyone present knew that Fujita's speech was hypocritical at this time, but most of them still stretched their necks, stared at their eyes, and pretended to make an expression of approval, after ten minutes of speech, Fujita once again thanked the guests present, and said that in order to enliven the atmosphere of the venue, the guests present would be selected to come to the stage to do an interaction, at this time a secretary walked in front of Fujita, avoiding the microphone in front of him whispered in Fujita's ear, only to see Fujita's eyes suddenly show a fierce light, and then confessed to the secretary, and then bowed to the guests, The stage was handed over to the secretary. The secretary announced that the stage was open and everyone could come to the middle and dance freely. The lights dimmed again, a pair of men and women walked to the middle of the stage and danced, in the dim light, Chang Chenghu, who was sitting next to Xu Kai, kept sighing, but he was not familiar with this place, and he didn't dare to invite rashly, so he could only use his eyes to constantly scan the beauties around him. The sound of high heels stomping on the ground came from far and near, and at the same time there was a strong smell of perfume, and you could guess that the owner of the perfume was a bewitching woman. Everyone looked up and saw Hanako Suzuki coming over and saying in blunt Chinese: Director Bai, can I invite you to dance? Bai Yunfei looked at her, showed a somewhat surprised expression and said: Miss Suzuki's invitation in the special high class, Bai was flattered. After speaking, he took Suzuki's hand and walked to the center of the dance floor, the music was melodious and pleasant, making people feel intoxicated, the two swayed and danced on the dance floor, Suzuki's long hair inadvertently swept to Bai Yunfei's face, the smell of perfume on his body and the fragrance of wine between his lips, I am afraid that ordinary people have long been unable to control it, Suzuki looked at Bai Yunfei, this man seemed to have no interest in himself, and said to him with some curiosity: What does Director Bai think of today's ball, is it a success?

"What is Miss Suzuki's point about, our security department is only involved in security in this event, and no suspicious elements have been found so far,"

Suzuki saw that he was a little confused, and he had no intention of breaking it, "Director Bai is really rigorous in his speech, and he doesn't leak, I can ask you a personal question."

"But it doesn't hurt to say"

"Director Bai is so good, many chiefs recognize you very much, and now you are still single, which makes me very curious, could it be that I have a crush in my hometown, so I am here" Suzuki said this, squinting his eyes and waiting for him to talk, it seems that she is a little drunk at this time.

Bai Yunfei smiled, "Your question is beyond my expectations, there is no one in my hometown, people like us who engage in intelligence, in this troubled world, maybe one day they will be in a different place, why drag others down, Miss Suzuki has so many suitors, isn't she also single."

"I'm not because of that." Suzuki seemed to be really drunk, looking at Bai Yunfei with a smile, a Qianqianyu hand swiped Bai Yunfei's abdomen, and asked a little ambiguously while touching: Then since you and I don't have a crush, why don't we ...... together tonight

At this point, the song ended.

Bai Yunfei grabbed Suzuki's hand that he was caressing, and replied ambiguously: So many people are watching, I don't want to become the public enemy of the men here tonight, point to point, point to point.

Suzuki heard him say this, although he refused, but he was also flattering and decent, Suzuki smiled and said, I will let you go today, let's come to Japan for a long time.

Bai Yun flew back to his seat and said to Xu Kai Go home, I'm a little tired today.

Xu Kai drove, Bai Yunfei sat behind with his eyes closed, Xu Kai knew that today's action was successful, and he was in a good mood, and said jokingly: Big brother, you are blessed today, Suzuki took the initiative to invite you to dance, you don't know how envious you are, especially that Chang Chenghu, when Suzuki put his hand on you, his eyes were straight.

"She's not seducing me, she's touching my coat for blood."

When Xu Kai heard him say this, he remembered that he cut his throat, blood was going to spray out, and it would be too difficult if his shirt didn't leave traces. Did Suzuki touch it?

"Don't worry, I'll go to the toilet and turn over my clothes to wear, in our business, details determine success or failure."

Early the next morning, Bai Yunfei just woke up and came to the dining table, and saw a newspaper on the table, with the headline saying that the ball that welcomed the neutral nation observation group last night was successfully held, giving the world a new understanding of the new **. Bai Yunfei was not interested, turned a few pages at random, and stopped in the third edition, which said a homicide case, a noodle stall vendor was strangled to death by gouging out his eyes for identifying anti-Japanese elements, and all walks of life in Shanghai strongly condemned this matter, Bai Yunfei handed the page to Xu Kai, Xu Kai read it and said: This is Xu Hongping's false witness, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

"Not only is it vicious, but it also blames the anti-Japanese elements, it seems that this young man is not simple, and we will have a strong enemy in the future."
