Lin Hai asked Zhu Muya for three things, namely a box of Hardman cigarettes, a radio, and a khaki striped scarf.

He remembered that Lin Hai liked money, and Lin Hai told him that money could buy women.

So in the "No. 76" prison, Zhu Muya took him out, regardless of Lin Hai's unclear suspicions, and still kept him by his side.

"I'll give you both money and women, and you're going to do things for me."

Takekiya clearly remembered that Arakawa Engen, the section chief of the Mei Agency, had warned him, but at that time he only cared about taking Lin Hai back to Sakuragi House.

Arakawa Engen said to him,

"Mr. Takeki, we are all loyal to the Emperor."

"Chinese, not worth trusting."

Yes, when Takekiya gave Lin Hai a short knife that he had designed himself, and Lin Hai used it to try to attack and blackmail him, he decided to abandon Lin Hai.

The words he had with Tachibana and Kazuya all night were actually for himself.

No one knows how many notes Zhu Mu Ya played "Sakura" on the day when she decided to finally squeeze all the remaining value of Lin Hai.

That Harmani's piano carries Takekiya's ambition, and his regret and reluctance.

Lin Hai was the only one who seemed resolute in the morning light?

Masara Takeki never forgot his mission.

But in the explosion that he had carefully designed, Takekiya felt an inexplicable panic.

All desires fell apart, and all schemes vanished in that moment. He only remembered the song "Cherry Blossoms", but despite this, he still played a lot wrong.

A lot.

When he heard his subordinate Shiro Kawamura say that he had informed Tang Yin to bring Lin Hai back for treatment as he had instructed, Takekiya stabilized his mind.

What he needs is victory, and what he needs is the penicillin that was stolen due to the dereliction of duty of the previous chief of the special high section. And Tang Yin, that woman, will be forced to use the batch of drugs that have not yet been shipped out of Shanghai because of Lin Hai.

Tang Yin is the first lady in Shanghai and an excellent businessman, but unfortunately, she is a Chinese.

What's even more a pity is that she is a woman.

In his eyes, women are the creatures that are most easily swayed by feelings.

In that explosion, Zhu Muya remembered the dumplings that Lin Hai cooked for him, and the taste and appearance were really not flattering. But at such times, it brought back his memories.

He seemed to smell the smell of gunsmoke. A smell of gunsmoke that doesn't exist.

A month later, on a cold and gloomy evening, he attended a banquet hosted by a German colonel at the Licha Hotel on the east side of the north side of the Waibaidu Bridge. The tall colonel looked like a clown.

But Zhu Muya didn't expect that in the end, it was because of this unknown thing that his plan was ruined.

When he took Lin Hai out of the woman's house, he felt like he was holding a fragile glass doll.

Takemuya didn't know if Lin Hai would be able to wake up again, but he knew that he had failed this time. Fortunately, he still has some thin face in the military, and if he just returns to Japan and starts living in seclusion, he will not be stopped.

But Zhumuya won't go back.

What he needs, he says, is victory.

Only with victory can you return to your hometown and enjoy the beauty of Mt. Fuji again.

It's not a complete defeat yet.

That night, the ghost of Takemu Ya sent a god to stay by Lin Hai's bedside for the whole night.

Just like the day when Lin Hai was driven away and froze on the street, he sat on the edge of his bed, dozing off but unwilling to close his eyes.

That night, Takekiya came up with a crazy and ridiculous idea.

He thought that if Lin Hai woke up that night, he would tell Lin Hai and he would take him back to Japan. At dawn, Takekiya would join him on the steamer.

Even if at this time, Takekiya did not usher in the victory he had been longing for.

Even if he goes back as a loser.

Even if this game is not a dead game.

But Lin Hai slept very hard, and his closed eyes showed no sign of opening at all.

At dawn, Zhu Muya remembered the last time he took Lin Hai out of Tang Yin's house and sent him to Tongren Hospital. He knew that Lin Hai was not asleep at that time, and the agents were not very careful in moving him, and in that bumpy, Lin Hai must have been awake.

It's just that he doesn't want to open his eyes to face him.

Zhu Muya smiled sadly, he knew that Lin Hai was afraid of him, and he also knew that under that layer of fear, there was endless disgust and hatred.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered Tang Yin, the woman who loved Lin Hai so much, once asked him at the banquet when he was looking for a girl.

Takekiya replied casually at the time.

"When the war is over, I will return to my hometown and marry a virtuous woman."

He has always believed that Japan will definitely be able to defeat China, and this is the trend of the times and the torrent of history, and no one can reverse it.

Takekiya is an excellent teacher, but not a safe soldier. He likes to gamble, and unlike ordinary gamblers, he knows the probability of winning things very well, and he will only act after he has done everything he can.

But he was shackled to the chessboard of the gears of fate.

He is not a chess player, he is a pawn of history.

When Zhu Muya went to see the woman, he wrote a letter, a letter that could never be sent. That night, he took it out of the drawer and wanted to read it word for word to the unconscious man.

"I need your ......"

But after only four words, he could no longer make any sound.

Takemu Ya and Lin Hai are enemies.

It was in the beginning, and it is now.

Lin Hai is not an ordinary person, he, like Lin Hai, is a soldier.

Chinese believe in life, ghosts and gods, and reincarnation.

Takekiya had despised their ignorance before, and now, he had begun to believe in it.

He remembered the words of the blind fortune teller.

"Count the heavens and the earth, count the world, and in the end, you can't count yourself."

In a word, it is a prophecy.

In the spring of 1941, Takekiya put the ring on her index finger on her little finger.

He said

"I used to have lovers."
