Chapter 11 Preliminary Contact
"It's a pity that I haven't tasted the food of my hometown yet, and I haven't even had time to take a sip of the sake of my hometown......" Geng Chaozhong sighed and returned the salute to Yoshida.
"I'm sorry to disturb your wanderer's homecoming," Yoshida felt a sense of guilt inexplicably in his heart, "If it weren't for the repeated urging of the Kanto Agency, I wouldn't have come to you so early, Yoshida is really sorry in his heart." ”
"It's nothing," Geng Chaozhong shook his head and put his glasses back on, "Excuse me from Vice Minister Yoshida, what instructions does it have for me?" ”
"Hey!" Yoshida nodded hurriedly, his expression became serious again, "The news of your return to Japan, only Chief Hashimoto and the police officer I know, and the rest of us don't know anything." Chief Hashimoto has instructed, except that you must be found and confirmed as soon as possible, and the rest of the arrangements are completely up to you. This is the secret phone number of Chief Hashimoto, and you can contact him at any time! ”
With that, Yoshida took out a piece of official paper from his arms and handed it to Geng Chaozhong.
Geng Chaozhong casually glanced at the phone number on the paper, and after memorizing it in his heart, he returned the paper to Yoshida and said:
"May I ask Yoshida-san, where is Chief Hashimoto now?"
"Back to Momiji-sama, Chief Hashimoto is now in a meeting in Gobucho, if you want to see him, you can wait here for a while, and I'll arrange it." Yoshida replied.
"No need for the time being," Geng Chaozhong shook his head and looked outside, "I haven't been out for a short time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go back too late, what's more, there are many people in the police town, and when the time is right, I'll contact Chief Hashimoto again." ”
"Hey, listen to Lord Momiji, if you have any requirements, I can try my best to meet them, you have been in China for so long, I'm afraid you miss the mountains and rivers of your hometown very much, right? If you wish, I can arrange for you to take a trip back to Hokkaido. Yoshida said sincerely.
"Well, it's time to go back," Geng Chaozhong's eyes seemed to have a mist in his eyes, "There is a poem in China: The young man who left home and the eldest returned, and the hometown accent did not change and the sideburns declined." I don't know if the sky in Hokkaido is still so blue, and the water in Hokkaido is still so clear and sweet; Are the people of Hokkaido still so hospitable.......
"Your Excellency Momiji, you have worked hard!" Yoshida lowered his head again.
Today's Lord Momiji seems to be a little sentimental, but Yoshida can understand - this imperial elite who has been on a mission in China since he was a teenager is really normal for this kind of parting after returning to his hometown, which can be seen from many veterans who have returned to Japan, and it seems that even an elite like Momiji is no exception.
"Alas, although people are not old, their hearts are old, which really makes Yoshida-san smile," Geng Chaozhong suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "Then, you can arrange for me to leave now." ”
Yoshida nodded, bowed to Geng Chaozhong again, and then pushed open the iron door and walked out, and after a while, Yun Wei walked in with a mysterious face.
"Sixth brother, Vice Chief Yoshida is your contact?" Yun Wei asked as soon as she entered the door.
"You guessed it?" Geng Chaozhong smiled.
"Well, Vice Minister Yoshida instructed me to send you back if nothing happened, Sixth Brother, what are your plans?" Yun Wei asked.
"For the time being, I think the Japanese won't let me stay idle for long." Geng Chaozhong's eyes showed a look of thought.
The most important task of this visit to Japan is to participate in the preparatory work for the establishment of the "spy training center," but this purpose cannot be clearly stated to the Japanese, and can only induce or imply that the Japanese will use themselves, and there is still a lot of work to be done.
"Well, the acting boss also ordered, wait and see. On my side, I have proposed to the Japanese that this spy training center should not only train Japanese but also some Chinese, and sometimes trained Chinese are better than the Japanese, and it is easier for them to rise to high positions within the Nanjing government. Yun Wei said in a low voice.
"Well, this method is good," Geng Chaozhong bowed slightly, "What is the step of this 'spy training center'?" ”
"The school building has been built, just outside of Tokyo, and the teaching materials are almost ready. Yun Wei replied.
"Okay," Geng Chaozhong began to straighten his clothes, "Go back first, today is not the time to talk in detail." ”
Yun Wei nodded, indeed, since Yoshida had spoken, it was not appropriate for him and Geng Chaozhong to stay for too long, he stretched out his hand, shook Geng Chaozhong again, and then walked out.
.........
"Mr. Zhou, you're scared! It was just a misunderstanding, so please don't be surprised! Gu Tian walked in and apologized "sincerely" to Geng Chaozhong.
Although he didn't know what was going on, the deputy head of the side and the deputy head of the transition came in to meet with this Mr. Zhou one after another, which still made Gu Tian smell a trace of unusualness, but the strict discipline of the spy work made him not have any thoughts of asking.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not hurt, sir, you don't have to apologize." Geng Chaozhong over there was still that cowering look, which made the suspicion that had just risen in Tanida dissipate a lot - perhaps, Vice Minister Yoshida just came in just to see Deputy Chief Watanabe?
"Let's go, I'll send you back." Gu Tian had a smile on his face, even if there was nothing abnormal, he would not lose anything to himself by temporarily changing his attitude towards this Mr. Zhou.
"No, no, no," Geng Chaozhong waved his hand repeatedly, "I'll just go back myself." ”
"Hey Zhou Sang, since I picked you up, then naturally I will send you back," Gu Tian stretched out his hand and grabbed Geng Chaozhong's arm, "Let's go, I'm going to go out anyway, it's not bad to send you back by the way, Tokyo is so big, what if you get lost?" ”
"Okay then......" Geng Chaozhong looked like he wanted to refuse but didn't dare to refuse.
Going out and entering the car, Geng Chaozhong sat next to Gu Tian again, and Gu Tian asked seemingly casually while starting the car:
"What did Watanabe-san ask you just now?"
"It's nothing, it's just some Chinese customs and current affairs, in fact, I haven't been back from Hong Kong for a long time, so I can't say too much." Geng Chaozhong replied.
"Didn't ask anything else? For example, do you have a wife or family in China? We also have a lot of agencies in China, which can help you bring some news to your home. Tanida smiled, and there was a hint of threat in his words.
"No, no, just a few questions, and another chief came in." Geng Chaozhong replied worriedly.
"Oh? That officer is also interested in you? Gu Tian squinted at Geng Chaozhong.
"No, he only talks to that Watanabe-san." Geng Chaozhong hurriedly replied.
"Oh......." Tanida didn't speak again.
Gu Tian drove the car and sent Geng Chaozhong all the way back to the gate of Tokyo Normal School, and when he got off the car, he said in a low voice:
"Today's matter, I don't think you will tell anyone else, Mr. Zhou, right?"
"No, no, I just went and filled out a form and nothing else happened." Geng Chaozhong hurriedly denied it.
"That's good." Tanida nodded and drove away.
