Chapter 48: The Ice Project

The neon lights of the ballroom swirl and flicker, colorful and ambiguous. The king wore a fake beard and a top hat, and while sipping red wine, he enjoyed the graceful dancing on the dance floor.

On the dance floor, Zhang Yibo was dancing with a tall and beautiful woman with better skin than snow. The woman gently pressed her body into Zhang Yibo's arms, and it could be seen that Zhang Yibo was intoxicated.

Liu Dada sat next to Shinmi Kato, chatting with the teacher while secretly observing the dynamics of the ball hall. At the end of the song, Wang Zhong was gone, and the graceful woman who danced with Zhang Yibo was gone.

An ominous premonition strikes that something is going to happen in the ballroom!

The soft music sounded again. A young woman walked up to Zhang Yibo and wanted to invite him to dance. Zhang Yibo sat there motionless, like an old monk in a fixed place. She couldn't help but push forward as if she was snorting, plopping, and Zhang Yibo fell to the ground......

"Oh no, it's dead!"

The young woman's heart-rending scream resounded across the dance floor. When the dancing people heard that the dead man was dead, they left the dance floor in a panic and rushed out the door.

Music stops. The dance floor is as bright as day.

Outside the door, the military police in charge of security rushed in one by one with loaded guns and ammunition. Kato Shinmi was frightened, Liu Dacheng and Kawashima Hideko were like two generals, one left and one right guarding him, and kept comforting: "Teacher, don't be afraid." It was just an accident. ”

......

After a while, the dignitaries on the dance floor left one after another. The rest are military figures and Japanese puppet agents.

Zhang Yibo fell to the ground and died of exhaustion. Hideko Kawashima stepped forward to check it out, and there were no gunshot wounds or knife wounds.

Zhang Yibo was drunk to death? Or is it over-excited, cerebral hemorrhage?

Shinmi Kato, as a medical scientist, also came in. He was as careful as a hair, and found a small red dot on Zhang Yibo's arm. The red dot was a little bigger than a sesame seed, and it had turned purple and yellow.

"He was bitten by a black spider. This is a black spider from the rainforest, which is hugely poisonous. It doesn't take ten minutes from the time you are bitten to the time the toxin is emitted all over your body. Not even God could save him. ”

Strangely, where did the black spider come from on the noisy dance floor of the Imperial Hotel? And also from the rainforest?

The Japanese army took Zhang Yibo's body away, and a welcome banquet ended with the dead.

Shinmi Kato lives in Room 803 on the eighth floor of the Imperial Hotel. Liu Dada received his warm invitation and came to his room as a guest.

Tada Jun and Section Manager Yoshida and their entourage bid farewell to Kato Shinmi one after another. They strengthened the hotel's security by increasing the number of gendarmerie units to a squadron. Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and also added a dark post and a mobile post.

Teachers and students reunite after a long absence, and there is always something to say. Kato Shinmi had already learned from Masao Yoshida and Jun Tada what happened to Liu Dacheng after returning to China, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Da Jun, I really didn't expect you to embark on this path. You're just a medical student, how did you become an agent, what is this called? Fighting wars and killing people are all menial work done by soldiers, what does it matter to us? ”

Speaking of this, the two whiskers on Shinmi Kato's lips trembled with anger, looking funny. Although he is a scientist, he never dreamed that this Liu Da Da would not be the other Liu Da Ye!

Liu Dada quietly started "mind reading" and found that Shanghai was not his final destination, and his goal was to go to Nanjing and Northeast China.

Spring Festival is a traditional festival for Chinese. Why does Kato go to these places even more? What is his mission?

Thinking of this, Liu Dada asked tentatively, "Teacher, I wonder when you will return to Tokyo?" I would like to accompany you to take a walk around Shanghai and enjoy the wonderful scenery of Shanghai Tang's Ten Mile Ocean Field? ”

"Oh, you're welcome. I have other tasks to complete. The main reason for this visit to Shanghai is to visit Tada, who is my best friend. If you have any requirements in the future, just look for him. Provided, of course, that the interests of the empire cannot be harmed! ”

"Well, thank you for your concern."

After all, Kato is a scholar, not a politician, and does not have the vigilance that an agent should have. He told Liu Dacheng about his trip from Tokyo, Japan to Shanghai, Nanjing and Northeast China.

According to Shinmi Kato, he was the chief scientist invited by the military to provide scientific guidance on the biological experiments conducted by the military. This reminds Liu of the notorious "germ plan" in history. The Japanese army brutally used Chinese to conduct live experiments, research and manufacture plague viruses and chemical weapons, and applied them to the Chinese battlefield to carry out inhumane massacres against Chinese soldiers!

In Liu Dada's impression, Kato Shinmi was an honest anti-war person, how could he participate in the study of bacteriological warfare? Judging from the importance he had just attached to the interests of the Japanese Empire, he had a hint of foreboding. Shinmi Kato has become an accomplice of Japan's ****!

Thinking of this, Liu Dacheng decided to test it and said, "Mr. Kato, the student intends to invite you to spend the Spring Festival in Shanghai before leaving, I don't know what you think?" ”

"No, I'm sorry that the teacher has a task on his side. However, I will definitely have an explanation for Tada Jun, and with his care, I didn't dare to bully you in Shanghai. ”

Kato Jinmei said this, but he was thinking in his heart that the Kwantung Army Headquarters of the Cold Ice Plan was in a hurry, and it was impossible to spend the Spring Festival in Shanghai.

......

On the fourth day, Kato Shinmi really left Shanghai and took a special train to Nanjing. When he left, Tada Jun, the commander of the military police dispatched by Shanghai, personally saw him off. Liu Da and Hideko Kawashima sent him to the platform, and the life of the teacher and the student was inseparable, and they seemed very affectionate.

Looking at the train that was gradually moving away, Hideko Kawashima said with deep emotion: "Da Jun, it seems that Professor Kato values you very much." ”

"He wanted me to stay in Japan to study for an MD because I wanted to go home. I really failed the teacher's kindness. ”

Liu Dada's extremely lonely expression, Hideko Kawashima couldn't help but feel a little heartache. If it weren't for the war, Liu Dacheng might have become a great scientist. A student who can make Kato Shinmi valuable, the academic level must not be bad.

What a pity!

Tada Jun waved his hand to the two young men and said, "Kato-kun has already left." What are you doing in a daze? Let's go, now take some time to accompany me to Liu Sang's Huahong Woolen Mill to inspect. Yoshida-kun, you can go too. ”

There is a saying that money can make ghosts grind. Hideko Kawashima has already made a deal with Tada and Yoshida Masata, and her "boyfriend's" company can give them 10 percent of each share. So, now that he has some time, he wants to go to the company to have a look. In this day and age, as long as the machine turns, there will be a steady flow of money into the pocket.

Why isn't Masao Yoshida in this mood? At this time, Liu Dacheng was a little nervous, but fortunately, the basement of the office area had not been excavated. Otherwise, their sudden "inspection" might have smelled the dangerous smell of the woolen mill.
