Ryuichi Hiraoka is right, Toyoichi Nakamura of the Hong Kong Consulate didn't take Li Shiqun in his eyes at all, and he didn't care about Li Shiqun, a small fish and shrimp, at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shiqun lives idly in Hong Kong, and he has been worrying about Ye Jiqing in his heart, wondering if she really took her mother-in-law to Zhuzhou to find herself.

Seeing that the solar calendar has entered 1938, Li Shiqun has been living in a snail's nest, relying on the meager expenses given by Toyoichi Nakamura, excluding rent and water and electricity bills, barely enough to live.

Li Shiqun's life was very poor, he felt very regretful that he came to Hong Kong to find Sheng Xiangjun, and when he was alone, he remembered all the good things about his wife Ye Jiqing.

Li Shiqun was going to write a letter to Ye Jiqing, telling her how he came to Hong Kong, telling her his helplessness, telling her how much he loved her, asking her for guilt and asking for her forgiveness.

However, when he picked up the pen, Li Shiqun suddenly thought, what if Ye Jiqing left Shanghai? What should I do if I can't receive my letter? If the letter falls into the hands of someone in the Military Control Bureau, won't his whereabouts be leaked?

After thinking about it, Li Shiqun put down his pen again and sat there thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, why not write a letter to Feng Chen, who runs a magazine in the French Concession, and ask him to help him inquire whether Ye Jiqing is still in Shanghai.

Li Shiqun believed that Feng Chen would not betray himself, Li Shiqun vaguely knew that Feng Chen had actually joined Dai Li's Second Division of the Military Command Bureau, and was now the head of the Major General's Intelligence Group, and it was a piece of cake to help inquire about individuals.

Li Shiqun knows very well that Feng Chen still has something to do with the Communist Party, Feng Chen relies on his deep background, and he is very popular in any force, and he also knows Feng Chen's identity as a green gang, as well as the relationship between Feng Chen and Du Yuesheng.

After thinking about it, Li Shiqun picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Feng Chen, he briefly told Feng Chen about his embarrassing experience in Hong Kong, and asked Feng Chen to inquire if Ye Jiqing's mother and daughter were still in Shanghai.

After the letter was sent, Li Shiqun went to the Japanese consulate in Hong Kong several times, and he counted on Toyoichi Nakamura to assign him a job to do.

However, every time he went, Toyoichi Nakamura just gave him some money, asked him to familiarize himself with the situation in Hong Kong first, wait slowly, and arrange for him as soon as a suitable position was available.

Many days have passed, and during the Spring Festival of the 38th year of the lunar calendar, Li Shiqun spent himself in Hong Kong alone, but he never looked forward to the job arranged for him by Toyoichi Nakamura.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Shiqun went to the Hong Kong Consulate in Japan again to see Toyoichi Nakamura, who was still very polite, but a conversation made Li Shiqun stunned.

"Mr. Li, we have new considerations for your work." Toyoichi Nakamura said.

"Mr. Nakamura, please." Li Shiqun listened respectfully.

"We've thought about it, you're not familiar with Hong Kong, and it's difficult for you to play your role." Toyoichi Nakamura stared at Li Shiqun and said slowly.

"Mr. Nakamura, I'm much more familiar with it now than I was when I first arrived." Li Shiqun hurriedly explained.

"That's right, Mr. Li, I'll introduce you back to Shanghai, the dignitary of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, I've already contacted the military attache of the Great Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Kagesa Sadaaki, you go to him."

This decision of Toyoichi Nakamura made Li Shiqun feel frightened, he was unwilling to return to Shanghai or Nanjing, he clearly knew what he would face when he went back, but he did not dare to say the word "no".

After leaving the Hong Kong Consulate in Japan and returning to his residence, Li Shiqun unexpectedly received a letter from Feng Chen, in which he told Li Shiqun that Ye Jiqing had taken her mother to Hankou a year ago, and now I don't know if she is still there.

Seeing Feng Chen's letter, Li Shiqun felt even more uneasy, he didn't know if Xu Enzeng would detain Ye Jiqing's mother and daughter as hostages because of his defection.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Li Shiqun decided that it would be better to return to Shanghai first.

……

A passenger ship from Hong Kong to Shanghai, sailing in the South China Sea, the sea is calm, the sun shines on the sea, the floating light is gold, a flock of seagulls soar around the passenger ship, happily playing, if not for the wartime, this peaceful and tranquil scenery, is indeed intoxicating.

Li Shiqun stood on the deck, letting the sea breeze blow gently.

This is also Li Shiqun's second trip to the sea, which is very different from the previous trip from Haiphong to Hong Kong, and he feels very comfortable and comfortable at this moment.

Facing the calm sea like a mirror, Li Shiqun couldn't help muttering to himself, it turns out that the sea is also quiet, and the quiet sea is so beautiful.

When Li Shiqun received Feng Chen's letter and knew that Ye Jiqing's mother and daughter had gone to Hankou, it happened that Toyoichi Nakamura was about to send him back to Shanghai, so he immediately packed his bags and made all preparations to return to Shanghai.

Originally, he Li Shiqun was going to return to Shanghai via Guangzhou, but at this time, Guangzhou had already fallen, and he was afraid that the road would not be safe, so he decided to take a British ship back to Shanghai by sea.

A few days later, a British passenger liner slowly sailed into the Huangpu River.

Li Shiqun stood on the deck, looking at the undulating river, and his heart was tumbling and uneasy, what is Shanghai like now? If Ye Jiqing knew that he didn't go to Zhuzhou to take office, would he return to Shanghai?

When the passenger ship was about to dock, Li Shiqun caught a glimpse of Feng Chen waving his right hand vigorously at him in the crowd of people picking up passengers.

As soon as he landed, Li Shiqun only held Feng Chen's hand gratefully and said, "Brother Feng, thank you for coming to the dock to borrow me, Shiqun, I am grateful!" ”

"Brother Shiqun is polite, but I haven't found out the whereabouts of my sister-in-law, I have contacted Hankou, they said that my sister-in-law's mother and daughter have been to Hankou, but they left the next day, and I asked Zhuzhou again, and there is no news of them."

After Feng Chen replied to Li Shiqun, he did go around to help him find out Ye Jiqing's whereabouts, but there was no news of Ye Jiqing in several possible places.

"Brother Feng, as long as my Li Shiqun has a bright day, I will never forget my brother's kindness!" Li Shiqun held Feng Chen's hand tightly and said very gratefully.

"Brother Shiqun, I have registered a room for you at the Fuyuan Hotel on Xiafei Road, you stay there first, and then we will slowly inquire about my sister-in-law's whereabouts." Feng Chen was very thoughtful about Li Shiqun.

"Thank you, brother!"

Li Shiqun followed Feng Chen, came to Feng Chen's car, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Brother Shiqun, why did you go to Hong Kong, I heard that Xu Enzeng didn't appoint you to go to Zhuzhou on business?" After the car started, Feng Chen asked.

"Brother, it's really hard to say, Zhang Yinong and Tong Guozhong, those two bastards, can make me miserable." Li Shiqun shook his head and said.

"What? You still can't control the two of them? Feng Chen asked.

"It's not that I can't control it, these two bastards on the eve of the Japanese attack on Nanjing, they secretly took money from the Japanese and secretly released Nanzao Yunzi, and the result was planted on me, you say that if I don't escape, Chen Lifu can bypass me?"

Li Shiqun poured the bitter water in his stomach, in fact, he didn't tell Feng Chen the truth, the real reason was that he couldn't forget Sheng Xiangjun's beauty in his bones, he secretly ran away in order to find Sheng Xiangjun, and Nanzao Yunzi's escape was just a fuse.

"Where did Zhang Yinong and Tong Guozhong run away?" Feng Chen asked.

"I don't know very well, I analyzed that they probably went to the Japanese and let Nanzao Yunzi go without permission, which is to kill their heads." Li Shiqun replied.

"Brother Shiqun, what are your plans for the future?" Feng Chen asked tentatively.

"Alas, let's take a step and take a look, find your sister-in-law first, she will pay more attention." Li Shiqun sighed.

As he spoke, the car had already arrived at the Fuyuan Hotel on Xiafei Road, the car stopped, and Feng Chen took Li Shiqun to room 208 on the top of the second floor of the hotel.

In fact, room 208 of the Fuyuan Hotel was a room specially chartered by Feng Chen after the establishment of the Songhu Rangers, where he had a secret meeting with Wan Molin to discuss things, and no one stayed at night.

"Brother Shiqun, you take a bath first, rest in the room, and I'll come over to pick you up at night, oh, by the way, you can use the money first, and then go buy a good set of clothes." Feng Chen settled Li Shiqun and left him a few hundred dollars before leaving the Fuyuan Hotel.
