Chiba Prefecture, a chain of cafes.

There are sun umbrellas and folding chairs outside the café, because the weather is gloomy and the heavy rain is coming, there are no customers under the sun umbrellas, and even there are only a few people in the café.

Behind the counter, the waiter supported his chin with his hand, stumbling and drowsy, for some years, the slightly yellowed air conditioner with a slightly yellowed shell was weakly blowing out the cold air, and the red ribbon tied to the air outlet blade was fluttering in the cold wind blown by the air conditioner.

Even when the air conditioning temperature is turned to the lowest, you can still feel the stuffiness outside, as if it can pass through the glass window and force it into the café.

Jingle Bell Bell Bell ......

Pushing open the door of the café, the wind chimes hanging in the door make a crisp sound.

Jiang Wei and Saito Suke walked into the café.

The medium-old decoration and medium-priced coffee are destined to not be such a high-end chain café.

But even if it's not a high-end chain café, it's not something that Saitosuke can consume at will, and Saitosuke still remembers the last time he was here, it was last year.

Sitting down by the window, Jiang Wei took out a pair of over-ear translation headphones and handed them to Saitosuke, motioning for him to put them on to facilitate their communication.

The crisp sound of the wind chimes made the waiter, who was originally sleepy behind the counter, immediately wake up, pick up the order book and walk towards Jiang Wei and Saitosuke, who were already sitting at the window.

"Cappuccino."

Jiang Wei didn't even open the order book, and directly told the waiter what he needed.

"Just like him."

The waiter took the notebook and turned to leave the table.

Although Jiang Wei was almost twenty years younger than Saito Suke, who was sitting opposite him, in terms of aura, Jiang Wei firmly suppressed Saito Suke.

Picking up the sticky notes and pencils on the table, Jiang Wei wrote a set of numbers on the sticky notes, then tore off the sticky notes and handed them to Saitosuke, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Help me find the wreck, and you will get the honorarium of the above amount...... And it's in dollars. ”

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ......"

Saitosuke looked at the string of "0" after the number "2", and his eyes were a little straight. Finally, it was clear that there were a few "zeros" on the sticky note.

That's 2 million in total, and it's still in dollars!

Saito Suke can swear that he has never seen so much money in his previous life.

"Goo-dong!"

Saitosuke swallowed hard, the note paper in his hand seemed to have been turned into a check that could be exchanged for cash directly at the bank, exuding a strong magnetic force that attracted his attention.

Thundered!

Outside the café, there was a rumbling thunder in the thick clouds, and blue-purple electric snakes the thickness of a person's arm were rolling and walking through the clouds, and the heavy rain was coming.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

The bean-sized raindrops hit the glass window of the café with a "popping" sound, as if it was about to smash the glass window. The rain poured down, enveloping the entire city in the blink of an eye, and the black Toyota Corolla parked across the street also became a blur in the rain.

The sun umbrellas that stand outside the café are blown from side to side by the wind, and they do not provide any shelter to the folding chairs and tables placed outside the café.

Jiang Wei didn't urge Saitosuke, drank the cappuccino sent by the waiter, and waited for Saitosuke to make a decision.

After a long time, Saito Suke took his gaze back from the sticky note in his hand, raised his head to look at Jiang Wei, and asked, "I want to ask why you chose to cooperate with me." If you're salvaging a shipwreck, you're looking for a more professional agency entirely, I'm just an ordinary geography teacher. ”

Jiang Wei's remuneration had a fatal attraction to Saito Suke, but Saito Suke was extremely sober at this time, and did not agree to Jiang Wei's cooperation because of this high honorarium.

"Because only you can help me find this wreck."

Jiang Wei took out a yellowed old photo from his pocket, put it on the table, pushed it in front of Saitosuke, and said, "Do you know the person in the photo?" ”

Saitosuke picked up the photo, looked at the black-and-white photo of Saito Scone wearing a World War II-era neon army uniform, nodded slowly, and replied, "He's my grandfather." ”

"Your grandfather, Saito Scone, served in Unit 731 and participated in the study of plague and smallpox."

Jiang Wei took back the photo from Saito's assistant, put it away again, and said: "After the Pearl Harbor incident, because of the entry of the Americans, the entire battlefield situation has changed dramatically, and the neon country has suffered heavy losses in the Pacific theater. The Neon Navy's command decided to transfer the newly developed plague virus and smallpox virus from the laboratory of 'Unit 731' and put them into the Pacific theater to reverse the disadvantage of the war. ”

"In order to prevent the ship transporting the virus from being detected by the US Air Force and bombed. The Neon Nation Navy Command used a freighter for transportation, probably because the sky was going to destroy you, and the freighter was caught in a storm after entering the Pacific Ocean and finally sank. ”

"If the plague and smallpox transported on this freighter had been successfully transported to the Pacific theater, the war might have taken much longer to end, and it is unclear what the final outcome would be."

Saitosuke listened to this little-known history in Jiang Wei's mouth in a daze, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

After a while, I came back to my senses.

"Does this matter have anything to do with my grandfather?" Saito suke asked Jiang Wei.

Saitosuke had already understood that Jiang Wei's purpose was the plague virus and smallpox virus on that freighter.

"According to the information we have gathered, the plague virus and smallpox virus on that freighter were sealed and packed by your grandfather Saito Scone himself, and the transportation route of the freighter was also set by your grandfather." Jiang Wei looked at Saito Suke and said.

Saitosuke shook his head lightly and said, "My grandfather has passed away for many years, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

Saito suke bowed lightly to Jiang Wei, took off the translation headset hanging on his ear, and got up to leave.

"Mr. Saito, please listen to me."

Jiang Wei stopped Saito Suke, who was about to leave, and said: "I know that your grandfather has passed away for a long time, and you don't even know your grandfather's past, but your grandfather should have left his diary, as long as you can find your grandfather's diary, and find the location of the sinking of the freighter that year, the reward of these two million dollars is still yours." ”

Saitosuke sat back in his chair, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But after all these years, I'm afraid the things on the freighter no longer exist, right?" ”
