Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sending Lori Home

Junko was rolling in the storage room next to Geng Chaozhong's room.

Junko is so happy now.

Her fat face was filled with a happy and innocent smile, happy like a little mouse that had fallen into a honeypot.

There are a lot of fun things in the storage room, brooms for cleaning, cotton balls for wiping things, kimono belts and clothes, and most importantly, a lot of conch and shells! As for some children's toys, she didn't like them very much. Because her toys at home are bigger and better than that.

She wears Grandma Date's kimono and dresses up like her mother.

She was dressed in Fang Zhitong's clothes and dressed as those staff members in the mansion.

She also put a conch to her ear, which her mother said would allow her to hear the sound of the sea.

Mom also said that the sea in Yokohama is more beautiful, and the conch there is bigger.

My mother also said that the rice balls made by my grandmother in Yokohama were delicious, and there were round shrimp balls and tender crab meat in them.

Goo-dong, goo-dong.

What's ringing?

I'm hungry and I miss Mom!

Junko suddenly wants to go home.

At this time, the sound of opening the door sounded downstairs, and Fang Zhitong's voice came: "Junzi!" Junko! See what I've brought you? ”

"Brother Shida!"

Junko jumped up and rushed downstairs.

Fang Zhitong stood in front of the door, and behind him was the smiling Geng Chaozhong.

"This is the sushi I bought for you, this is the matryoshka doll I bought for you, how is it, is it pretty? And this, this. ”

Fang Zhitong spread out a large number of gadgets bought from the street like a trick and put them in front of Junko.

Junzi's eyes were shining, and soon he narrowed into a slit again, and he couldn't put it down, picked it up, put down that, and then Fang Zhitong took out a small wooden barrel from his back.

"Junko, and this."

The barrel was full of seawater, and in the clear water, there were a few small fish, shrimp and crabs dancing with their teeth and clawsβ€”all of which Fang Zhitong bought from the fishermen on the trestle.

"Wow! Cute! ”

Junko's eyes lit up, and she threw aside all the other toys at once, squatted on the ground, and looked intently at the small animals in the water, as if she had thrown all the things about her hunger out of the clouds.

"Here's the little crab and conch I caught for you from the pier, but if you eat those sushi first, I think you'll be hungry."

Fang Zhitong also squatted down, and a big head and a small head touched together.

"But, I miss my mother... Mom must be worried that she can't find me. ”

Chunzi suddenly raised his head, looked at Fang Zhitong, said very seriously, and then secretly glanced at Geng Chaozhong.

"By the way, Junko, did anyone knock on the door during the day?"

"Yes, but I listened to my brother, hid upstairs and didn't say a word, and after a while they left."

Well, it seems that the Japanese consul has sent someone to secretly search the neighborhood, but the neighborhood is full of Japanese expatriates, and generally no one deliberately hides it and does not report it, so now their search scope should have expanded to the surrounding neighborhoods.

"After eating, we'll send you home so you can find your mother." Geng Chaozhong said.

"Yes, although it's fun outside, your mother must miss you too, maybe she's looking for you right now, you don't want to see your mother worried and sad, right?"

Fang Zhitong also said.

"Well, then I'm going to eat sushi, and I'll go home after eating sushi." Junko also seems to have made up her mind, she is already thirteen years old, and she is no longer a child who doesn't understand anything.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with your brother Ida, and I'll send you home in a while." Fang Zhitong glanced at Geng Chaozhong, and the two of them stepped upstairs.

"What to do? Let's send her back together? Fang Zhitong asked.

"No, I don't know Japanese, I will definitely be exposed, if Koizumi Keiji knows that I am a Chinese, maybe he will have other ideas, and it will not be good to cause trouble at that time." Geng Chaozhong shook his head and refused.

Geng Chaozhong thought in his heart that if the Japanese consul knew that the little girl was taken in by a Chinese, whether he was grateful or suspicious, he would bring trouble to himself, even if he went to the police station to send a pennant and a letter of thanks, it would make the surrounding colleagues and even the people have some dissatisfaction and even resentment towards him, after all, the Japanese at this time were particularly unwelcome.

If it is doubtful, then the trouble is even greater, a Chinese deliberately approached the Japanese consul, and it is the local police, it is difficult to ensure that Koizumi Keiji does not have some other ideas.

Therefore, it is better for Fang Zhitong, who is proficient in Japanese, to complete this task.

After thinking for a while, Geng Chaozhong continued:

"Zhitong, your current name is Shunsuke Shida, my name is Date Nosuke, you must remember it, I am also Japanese, I am the long-lost son of Old Lady Date, I just moved here, and I am not very familiar with the situation. If you figure out how to make up the rest yourself, I can't help you. Also, you can't be a police officer by profession, so you say that you illustrate newspapers, do you understand? ”

"Understood, just to be so complicated? As long as the other party is not inhumane, he will definitely be grateful to us?! Fang Zhitong didn't understand what Geng Chaozhong was thinking at all.

"If you were an ordinary Japanese expatriate, it would have been so, but if you were a Japanese consul who was also on a mission to collect intelligence, the idea would not be so simple. So let's be careful. ”

"Okay," Fang Zhitong replied as if he didn't understand. "Why don't you watch from afar?"

"No, I believe you, it's getting dark, you can go now. The Japanese consulate is very close to here, go early and return early. ”

After a while, Junko finished eating and began to pack up the toys and small fish and shrimp that Fang Zhitong brought him, and it seemed that she was going to bring these things back to the consulate.

"Big Brother Ida, won't you send me back with you?" When he was about to go out, Junzi looked at Geng Chaozhong with innocent eyes and asked.

"No, it's enough to have your brother Shida, I still have something to do at night."

"Oh," Junko nodded disappointedly, "Daddy will thank you very much." ”

Watching Fang Zhitong lead Junko Koizumi out of the door, Geng Chaozhong thought for a while, and decided to follow the two of them, so as not to have any accidents, this matter is really not an accident at all, otherwise it will bring endless trouble to himself.

But everything seemed to be going well, until Fang Zhitong led Junzi to knock on the door of the Japanese consulate, and nothing happened.

Watching Fang Zhitong walk into the door of the consulate under the guidance of the Japanese staff, Geng Chaozhong finally put his mind at ease, he stood not far from the consulate and waited silently.

However, I really have to start learning Japanese, staying in the Japanese expatriate area but not knowing Japanese, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, at least, once there is any search and other incidents, the first suspect must be himself, a Chinese who does not speak Japanese.

Fortunately, he now has one of the best teachers.
