Sakurayuki was only reprimanded by Kurokawa Shikibu, she bowed her head and was silent, and Kurokawa Shikibu had nothing to say, so she let her go.

That night, Nagagawa Taka's secretary gave a report to Kurokawa Shikibu, handing over all the affairs that Nagakawa Takashi had started before his death to Kurokawa Shikibu, and when he saw a document, he stopped.

"What's wrong?" Kurokawa Shikibe asked.

"This-" The secretary handed a report to Kurokawa Shikibu.

Kurokawa Shikibu took a look at it, and it was a report from Nagagawa Hawk's subordinates investigating Kawashima Sakurayuki.

"What are you doing investigating Sakurayuki Kawashima?" Kurokawa Shikibu looked at the report and thought, "This investigation is not over yet, it seems that as soon as Nagagawa Taka dies, this mission will be put on hold." ”

"Go on." Kurokawa Shikibu said to the secretary, but he was lost in thought and didn't want to listen.

On the morning of the second day, Harada Akie had a secret conversation with Kurokawa Shikibu alone, and Sakura Yukika spent the morning asking the participants about other situations at yesterday's meeting, but to no avail, so she was depressed.

Yesterday the Kato Battalion Action Group smashed two contact points and arrested an informant.

At noon, a person came to the intelligence department, and he asked to see Kurokawa Shikibu by name, and Kurokawa Shikibu asked him to come in, it was Kojunda Lang. He was wearing a long black windbreaker, a black hat, and a black leather bag. ”

"Well, after ten days of checking, I hope you really found out, let's say." Kurokawa Shikibe leaned back in his chair and said solemnly.

"Little junior sister is a Chinese!"

Kurokawa Shikibu bounced up from his chair and yelled roughly, "Chinese? ”

He suddenly realized that his voice was too loud, so he lowered his voice, sat down with a dark face, and said, "Speak carefully." ”

"Yes." Kojunda Lang said, "There are three people in Kawashima Sakurayuki's family, in addition to her, there is also her brother, Kawashima Ino; She also has a younger sister, Momozawa Kawashima; These are actually their pseudonyms, Kawashima Ino, whose Chinese name is Zhuang Sheng; Kawashima Sakurayuki's Chinese name is Zhuang Die; Her sister's name is Zhuang Yunyun. The three of them came to Japan three years ago, first borrowed and lived in the house of government official Kitaiwa, then moved with Hokam and then moved out of Kitaiwa's house to buy a house in Xinyuan District and settle down, where they still live. Kawashima Ino used to work at the military newspaper, and later helped Kitam with business until now. Kawashima Sakurayuki has always been with Kawashima Ino and has not been separated for a long time until she was taken away by the teacher more than half a year ago, until now; Momozawa Kawashima spent more than a year with the family and spent almost a year studying at Sakata University before being expelled from school. Some of these things are inquired, and some are inquired, and some are documented, such as when Kawashima Eno worked at the newspaper, and Kawashima Momozawa was in school or was expelled, there are records. Especially this Kawashima Momozawa, the school's information shows that she is a Chinese, and she is not very good at Japanese, good at Chinese, this can't be hidden, she must be a Chinese, the other two are inquired and inferred. ”

Kurokawa Shikibu's mood has not yet calmed down, thinking, no wonder Nagakawa Takashi also asked people to investigate Kawashima Sakurayuki, and he should have found something.

"Director, what's next?" Junda asked.

"No hurry, what about Yanosa?"

"Still following."

"Did he know that I came here?"

"I don't know."

"Since I'm here, it's convenient to come and go, so you can go and ask him to report first."

"Yes." Junro Oda opened the black leather bag and said, "This is the information, do you still have it?" ”

"Stay, you go." Kurokawa Shikibe said.

Junro Oda then left.

Kurokawa Shikibu looked at these materials one by one and sighed to himself: "Kawashima Sakurayuki, no wonder you are silent and indifferent, it turns out that you have such a big secret hidden in your heart, and you actually hide it from the world, and even your teacher doesn't know it." ”

Kurokawa Shikibu's heart was pounding like a drum, and he became more and more panicked, and couldn't help but think to the worst: "I won't train a top agent for the Chinese, right?" Is her usual performance pretending? ”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he connected the recent events, "On the surface, she is a spy sent from the intelligence department to the Huaxing Society, but in fact?" Will she help the people of Huaxinghui? Nagawa Ying is dead, died in the time she was investigated, could she have killed her? Does Shinobu Miyazawa know? The two of them are so close, it's hard not to lie to me together! He couldn't stop thinking.

"If it turns out the worst I thought, then my life's reputation will be destroyed, I have made an unforgivable mistake, and I will not be sorry to die......" Kurokawa Shikibu only felt a chill down his spine and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Calm down, calm down......," Kurokawa Shikibe muttered, took another sip of tea, and said to himself, "I must first find out the truth, if it is really as I think, I will do my best to save it, I will not let her become a sword used by China against the Japanese Empire." ”

"No matter what, she must not be allowed to run to Huaxing Club anymore at present, and the plan of action here must not be leaked at all! Then stabilize her and figure out where she stands. Kurokawa Shikibu shouted, "Someone! ”

One person opened the door and came in, and Kurokawa Shikibu said, "Let Kawashima Sakurayuki come to see me." ”

After a while, the person replied: "She left the intelligence department an hour ago and has not returned." ”

Kurokawa Shikibe nodded, his hands resting on the table, and pondering.

On the afternoon of the next day, the shipping company issued a notice: due to the recent abnormal weather, fog at sea, and the intensification of cold, the passenger ship has repeatedly broken down, and the day before yesterday caused a major accident and many casualties. After study, it was decided to suspend the operation of passenger ships from December 23 until the weather improves and the breakdown is repaired.

On the morning of the second day, the Zhonghua section of the Military Newspaper published an article on the revolutionary situation in southern China, pointing out that the revolutionary situation in some areas was critical and that success or failure was imminent.

Huaxing will thus fall into a dilemma.

Kawashima Sakurayuki was ordered by Kurokawa Shikibu to be on standby at any time and prepare for action and ordered not to leave the intelligence department to act alone for the time being, and Sakurayuki had to follow, so she couldn't go to Li Chengqi and them. Recently, I've heard a lot of bad news, and I can't tell it by myself, and it's especially uncomfortable, and she still has some questions, no one can ask, so I have to find Miyazawa Shinobi.

"Senior brother, do you know the news of the suspension of the steamer outside?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know."

"Do you read the newspaper?"

"Don't look."

Sakura Xue sank and asked again, "That-yesterday at noon, I heard that there was a meeting, were you there?" ”

"I'm not here, just Chief Harada and the teacher, the two of them, held a secret meeting, and the content was not revealed at all."

"Can you- can you go to the teacher and ask, I...... I would like to know what the meeting will be about. ”

Miyazawa Shinobu sneered: "Since it is deliberately secrecy, how can it be leaked, Harada Akie doesn't trust me at all, and gave me the position of head of the Operations Division, but he delegated power to the Kato Battalion, and the teacher didn't argue, what can I do." Again...... I also don't want to know what they talked about. ”

Ying Xue was in a worse mood, she knew that she and her senior brother were in a different situation, with different positions, she shouldn't ask him to do anything for herself, and she also had words first, but after all, there was no place to vent the boredom in her heart, so she had to complain to this closest senior brother, so she said angrily: "I'll ask myself." He got up and left.

"You are stupid," Miyazawa Shinobu reprimanded, "he imprisoned you in disguise for such a reason, there must be a reason for it, it is definitely not the reason he said, you still ask, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

"Huh." Ying Xue smiled bitterly, "I didn't think that you would be in charge of my business again at this time?" I also thought about the consequences for me, I asked you a sentence, you don't know a sentence, I asked you ten sentences, you don't know, and now I haven't asked, you know my consequences? ”

"Don't be forceful." Miyazawa Shinobu lowered his eyebrows and said, "I said earlier that I don't care about you, and I just don't know what I shouldn't know." ”

Sakurayuki walked up to Miyazawa Shinobu side, opened the drawer, took out a dusty dagger, stared straight into the eyes of her senior brother and said, "Don't lie to me, I can still smell the blood on this blade." ”

Miyazawa Shinobu was already prepared in his heart, and there was no need to lie to her at this time, he only glanced at Sakura, and then turned his head to look at the wall in a distraction, and gradually, his blood surged, coughed, and gasped from time to time.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Sakurayuki threw the knife and leaned over to ask.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Miyazawa Shinobu waved his hand, covering his chest with one hand and taking the medicine in his arms with the other.

Ying Xue hurriedly helped him take it out, "When did you start taking medicine?" Sakura Xue asked, pouring a glass of water in a panic.

Miyazawa Shinobu drank a sip of water, and suddenly choked, but spit out a mouthful of water, coughing even more, and his face turned crimson.

"Senior brother, you-" Ying Xue hurriedly wiped it, anxious to beat her back and stroke her chest, and she was also anxious to sweat.

Miyazawa sat crookedly in a chair, one hand propped up on his lap, the other on the table, his head bowed and slowly relieved, sweat slowly sliding down the tip of his nose.

"I'm sorry...... Senior brother, I didn't mean to make you angry, I'm very uncomfortable, no one can talk, I can only-"

"I don't blame you." Miyazawa Shinobu pulled Sakura's hand that was still in a cold sweat and held it tightly, "There is still medicine in the drawer next to it, give it to me." ”

Sakura opened the drawer with one hand and took out the medicine with shaking hands, Miyazawa Shinobu ate it, and after a while, everything returned to normal.

"When you started taking your pills, I don't know." Sakura asked.

"That night, I exercised too much, inhaled the cold wind, and I was out of control, and I couldn't do it without taking medicine." Miyazawa shook his head weakly.

"You take care of it, I won't make you angry, you still don't ask about these things, and I won't tell you anymore."

Miyazawa smiled helplessly and said, "I can't go back, do you think that if I don't care about anything, this disease will be cured?" I'm sick of old age......" Shinobu Miyazawa thought to himself, "No matter which path I choose, I can't escape this life and death catastrophe, Sakurayuki, let me help you one last time, as for my sins, I will atone for them in my own way." ”

"Senior brother, what are you thinking?"

Miyazawa Shinobu smiled and said: "It's nothing, you listen to me, just sit here obediently, I know what is in your heart, and now we will bear it together." ”

"But—"

"You can forget what I said before," said Miyazawa Shinobu "and pour me another glass of water." ”

Sakurayuki poured him water, and he didn't know what to say.

Miyazawa Shinobu fell into deep thought: "Yesterday, the teacher was not suspicious of Sakura Xue, but today he forbade her to go out, just to prevent her from contacting the people of Huaxinghui, is he suspicious of her, did he find something by himself, or did someone tell him something?" Qianben knew, but he didn't dare. ”

Ying Xue stroked his back, feeling very uncomfortable, she was tired of her senior brother, and she blamed herself in her heart.

Miyazawa Shinobu thought again: "Someone looked for a teacher yesterday, could it have something to do with this?" ”

Suddenly, he spoke: "Ying Xue, go to the gate and ask the person on duty, do you know the person who looked for the teacher yesterday, you can also look at it yourself." ”

"Okay."

"Wait, these people, you give them some money, they have nothing to say."

Before Sakura Xue arrived at the gate, the two people watched from afar, and when Sakura Xue approached, they greeted him and said, "The director has ordered, you can't go out." ”

"I'm not going out, I just want to ask you." Sakura Xue took out some money and stuffed it into them, and the two of them looked at each other and accepted it willingly.

"Someone came to see Director Kurokawa yesterday, did you report it?"

"Yes."

"Do you know each other?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before, it's the first time I've come."

"What does it look like?"

"Tall and thin, dressed in black."

Sakura Xue couldn't think of anyone coming, so she only said, "If he comes, I'll inform Chief Miyazawa again." ”

"Yes."

In the afternoon, a man on duty came to inform him, saying, "That man is here again, and with another person he doesn't know." ”

Miyazawa informed and asked Sakurayuki to go and see, but Sakurayuki saw two people standing guard in front of the Kurokawa-style department, and she didn't dare to approach, and she couldn't hear what was being talked about inside. So after waiting for half an hour, the two of them came out, they put on their hats again, bowed their heads and strode away, Sakura Xue stared at them intently and walked towards them, and for a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and they all paused in surprise, and then walked away.

Sakurayuki hurriedly reported to Shinobu Miyazawa: "It's Junda and Yanosa." ”

"The two of them?" Miyazawa Shinobu said to himself, "The two of them are really ghostly, I don't know what they're doing." ”

While Miyazawa was pondering, someone announced: "Sir, someone has a message: four o'clock in the afternoon at the old place." ”

At the same time, this sentence was also obtained by Kurokawa Shikibu, and he thought that this should be what Yano Saku said about Kitawa meeting Miyazawa Shinobu, what is the relationship between them? Kitam has a relationship with Kawashima Sakurayuki's family, does this Miyazawa Shinobu know? Beiyan and Miyazawa Shinobu have met many times, since Miyazawa Shinobu and Kawashima Sakurayuki are close, she must know, so these three must be closely connected, what is the secret between them?

Kurokawa Shikibu thought frantically, feeling that everything was slowly moving towards an unknown outcome.

At half past three in the afternoon, Miyazawa Shinobu was about to go to the appointment, thinking that Beiyan should inform him of his itinerary to China, and suddenly remembered something and asked Sakurayuki: "The notice issued by the steamship transportation company, what is the suspension of operation?" ”

"December 23rd."

"Today is the 18th, and there are four days left," Miyazawa said, "and you don't go anywhere, think about the recent events for yourself." With that, he pushed Sakurayuki to the chair, pressed her shoulder, asked her to sit down, and turned around and walked away.

"There are so many things, and my head is messy, what do you think?" Sakurayuki stood up and asked.

"Then I'll remind you of it," Miyazawa said, pushing her down again, "One, the teacher doubts you, think about why, what should you do next." Second, Junro Oda and Yano Saku suddenly appeared, so what have they been doing for the past ten days? What did you report to the teacher when you came back this time? Three, what kind of ship shutdown and newspaper nonsense must be a conspiracy, what will your Huaxing do? Fourth, time is running out, Beiyan will go to China to take up a post, where are you going, what about your brothers and sisters? ”

"How did you think of so much?" Sakura asked admiringly and curiously.

"Because you're stupid, you're not a spy, at most you're a sharp weapon, and you're just a weapon, but I don't want you to be reduced to a weapon...... Oda became a weapon, and then she killed herself. ”

Sakura Xue was stunned.

Miyazawa turned around and went out.
