Chapter 82: An Inch of Mountains and Rivers, an Inch of Blood
The newspaper was taken home by Xiao Wu and handed over to Eagle Wing.
The expression of the eagle wings at that moment was almost indescribable! His hands shaking as he held the newspaper!
Seeing this, Fang Wuying pulled Xiao Wu's sleeve, and the two quietly exited the room.
"Tomorrow, I'll investigate the cause of Long Yusheng's death." Fang Wuying whispered, "Once Long Yu lives and dies, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of this side." ”
"Which side is doing it? I really can't think of it. Xiao Wu's voice was a little hoarse.
"If what Cangchuan said is true, then everything is possible." Fang Wuying said, "The military commanders, the central commanders, and the Japanese can't escape." ”
At that time, the two sat side by side on the steps outside the church, with Maria accompanying the eagle wings in the room.
"You know what? Today Cangchuan asked me to give him a lecture. Xiao Wu said suddenly.
"What class?"
"Queen's main word."
Fang Wuying looked at him with stunned eyes!
"He asked me to tell him about the queen of Li and the meaning of each word."
"In Japanese?"
"Hmm. Also, the writing background, the dictionaries, and the rules of the word board. ”
“…… It's uncomfortable, isn't it? ”
There was a long silence.
"I've never felt that way, I don't think I deserve to live." Xiao Wu suddenly whispered, "On the day the city is broken, you should be hanged in front of the temple." If you live hard, just live hard, what words do you write? Leaving it for future generations to become ironclad evidence, so that everyone in the world knows what it means to be self-inflicted and not to live, and what is the voice of the country......"
Fang Wuying was silent for a while, and shook his head: "If you say this to 10,000 readers, 10,000 people will not agree with you." ”
"But now the devil is reading my words! They kill people during the day, and at night they recite my 'Xiaolou was the east wind again last night', and then step on the bones of the victims and say, this is the sad song left by the slaves of the dead country! ”
"Your words are not wrong, Xiao Wu, you shouldn't have said that." Fang Wuying interrupted him sharply, "At least you saved Eagle Wing, and the message to Long Yusheng also saved a lot of lives, Long Yusheng's death has nothing to do with you!" ”
Xiao Wu hugged his knees and trembled and pressed his face to his legs. In the gloomy sky, he curled up, looking as small as a snail.
Fang Wuying didn't hear the sound, but he knew he was crying.
He stood up, pressed Xiao Wu's shoulder, and turned to enter the church.
The next day, the eagle wing disappeared.
He left while Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying were not at home, Eagle Wing didn't take anything else, and only the palm thunder disappeared. In the evening of gloomy weather, Xiao Wu looked around the church for a long time, and finally returned disappointed.
"Where can he go like this? The injuries haven't healed yet......"
"It's out of danger, and if you pay attention, you shouldn't be able to die." Fang Wuying comforted, "Besides, he still has a gun in his hand." ”
While they were discussing this, Mary was always watching them with trepidation.
"I ...... This morning, I noticed some strange people at the door. She finally interrupted them with a loud voice.
"Strange people?" Fang Wuying immediately became vigilant, "What kind of person?" ”
Maria shook her head: "I don't know, some are dressed as newsboys, some are like coachmen...... Repeatedly dangling at the door of the church, and constantly looking in, the look is not quite right......"
"Oops, looks like there's a target here." Fang Wuying said.
Xiao Wu was silent for a long time before he said, "It's time to go." ”
Fang Wuying nodded.
"But until then, there's something to do."
Ignoring Fang Wuying's surprised expression, Xiao Wu turned to Maria and said, "Mama, you are the ticket the day after tomorrow, right?" ”
Maria nodded.
"Now listen up, Mama Mary, don't go back to Germany." Xiao Wu said word by word, "Go to the United States." ”
Maria looked at him in amazement: "To the United States?!" ”
"Yes, don't go back to Germany, don't go back to Dresden, you know? It's very dangerous, and it's about to become hell. Xiao Wu paused, "American...... Do you have any relatives? ”
"Well, my aunt and uncle have moved to Dallas."
"That's good, it couldn't be better." Xiao Wu looked at her seriously, "Go to the United States and find your uncle and aunt." Don't go back to Germany......"
"But my parents' house is still ......"
"Nothing is more important than life, Mary, money can be obtained later, and if life is lost, there is nothing! You trust me. ”
Mary hung her head, and finally, she spoke, "All right." I'll find a way to transfer to the United States. ”
After explaining this, looking at Maria leaving, Xiao Wu turned his head and said, "Now let's talk about today's gains." ”
"I went to the old house of the Long family, which has been sealed off, but I asked someone to inquire about it, and I made some money for the people who stayed behind in the patrol house, and now I have received information from all sides that the biggest suspect is the Japanese."
"The same as I felt today." Xiao Wu nodded, "Today, Cangchuan is half an hour late. ”
"Really? How? ”
"When he came in, I saw blood on his white gloves." Xiao Wu's voice trembled a little, but he looked calm, "When he noticed that I had noticed, he explained that he had encountered some difficult prisoners. ”
"He's tortured?"
"I'm afraid so." Xiao Wu nodded, "He said, I just arrested the ...... yesterday One has already died, and there is only one left. ”
"Something to do with Long Yusheng?"
"He didn't say it, but when I mentioned Long Yusheng's death, Cang Chuan seemed very happy." Xiao Wu said, "He said that the long-term trouble has finally been solved. ”
“…… At least he can't get out of it! Fang Wuying said, "In addition, I have heard that several businessmen who have close contacts with the Huxing Chamber of Commerce have been raided, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”
Xiao Wu lowered his head, and after a while, he suddenly raised his eyes: "Captain Fang, tomorrow night, Cang Chuan invited me to his residence. ”
"Huh?!"
"There's a treasure he wants me to see." Xiao Wu said, "When the time comes, he will send a car to pick me up." ”
Fang Wuying looked at him, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.
Xiao Wu stretched out his hand: "Captain, give me the knife." ”
"I know the idea you played."
"It's my own business." Xiao Wu gritted his teeth, "It's me who wants to take revenge, Captain Fang, you don't have to be involved in this matter, and you only have to punish me when you go back and be punished." ”
"Fool." Fang Wuying rolled his eyes, "In this era, there is no personal vendetta. ”
"Captain Fang?!"
"I'll go with you." He said, "Don't mistreat people for Chinese." ”
At about six o'clock the next evening, after saying goodbye to Mary, Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying came to the door of the church together.
After a while, they saw a car approaching in the distance, and finally stopped in front of the church.
Seiichiro Aokawa stepped out of the car, and when he saw Fang Wuying, his expression was slightly surprised.
"My brother." Xiao Wu introduced, "Because I always talk about you at home, and he also hopes to meet Cangchuan Nakasa, so he begged me to bring him." ”
Cangchuan laughed, the kind of smile that was full of superiority and quiet.
"Absolutely." He said, "The teacher's brother is my brother. ”
Just right, Fang Wuying nodded and handed over the certificate of good citizenship, Cang Chuan glanced at it, and motioned to the driver to open the car door and let Xiao Wu and them get in the car.
In the car, Cang Chuan said to Xiao Wu: "Yesterday, I got a baby. ”
Xiao Wu smiled reluctantly: "What is it?" ”
"Well, you can show it to the teacher when you get a place." Cangchuan's expression was very proud, "It's a treasure that has been passed down for a thousand years." ”
Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying glanced at each other and didn't speak.
After a few days of heart-to-heart conversation, Cang Chuan seems to have let down his due vigilance against Xiao Wu, and he didn't think that this thing in his mother tongue is really magical.
The car drove for a long time and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.
got out of the car and followed Cangchuan into the courtyard, and several Japanese soldiers stood up to him. It seems that this is Cangchuan's private residence in Shanghai, and the fact that he can bring Xiao Wu and them here shows his trust in Xiao Wu.
Following Cang Chuan into the house, a woman in a moon-white kimono served tea, and then hung her head and retreated.
"Please wait a minute, I'll go get the baby."
Cang Chuan walked into the inner room, and after a while, he walked out with a big lacquer box, and then put the lacquer box in front of Xiao Wu.
"This treasure, I guess you haven't seen it, teacher." Sokawa smiled mysteriously, then reached out and opened the lacquer box.
Inside, it turned out to be a brocade embroidered with peonies!
Cang Chuan carefully took out the piece of brocade from the box and put it under the light, and for a while, Xiao Wu felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the brocade actually reflected a dazzling golden light!
"This is the brocade of the Tang Dynasty." Cangchuan said softly, "It is woven with the superb technique of twisting gold thread, and I have checked, and what is mixed into the silk thread is a gold thread made by pure gold drawing and pressing. ”
Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying's eyes were all focused on that piece of tapestry!
"This tapestry, I've always wanted it, I've dreamed of it for a long time, and I didn't get it from someone until yesterday."
"Someone?"
Cang Chuan smiled very proudly: "This thing is Long Yusheng's treasure." ”
After he finished speaking, he spread out the brocade, "My sister will get married next year, and if she wears such a kimono to appear at that time, it will definitely surprise those ministers and the Chinese people!" ”
"Going to ...... Make a kimono out of this brocade? ”
"Yes! How appropriate! ”
Xiao Wu's expression was complicated, and Fang Wuying quietly pulled his sleeve.
"Ah, what's getting dirty here?" Fang Wuying's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the edge of the brocade had stains as small as rice grains.
"Well, it's a pity." Cang Chuan shook his head, "It seems that it was made many years ago, and it can't be cleaned anymore, so it will have to be cut when the time comes." It's a pity. ”
"Silk technology was already in place before the Tang Dynasty. But this kind of twisted gold wire technology was not matured until the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Wu said in Japanese, "Mr. Cangchuan, can you be sure that this is a fabric from the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"Absolutely!" Cang Chuan said, "I asked an antique expert to identify it, and the age of the finished product is about the Xuanzong period." It's a rare thing from a thousand years ago that it's so well preserved, the texture is still soft and shiny, and the pattern is clear! ”
"Then congratulations to Mr. Cangchuan." Fang Wuying smiled and said, "This is a rare treasure. ”
"yes." Cang Chuan laughed, he got up, "I'll go get some wine, it's rare to be so happy today, let's have a drink!" ”
As he spoke, he walked to the wine cabinet: "I have a lot of wine here, what do you two drink?" ”
At this time, Fang Wuying saw that Xiao Wu stood up quietly, his hand gently brushed his waist, and when he continued to walk towards Cangchuan, the thin, almost imperceptible protrusion on his waist disappeared.
Cang Chuan heard the creaking of the floor, but he didn't look back, and only asked casually, "Come and clear the bar." ”
"Well, anything goes." Fang Wuying said. He knew that Cangchuan would not turn back, because in Cangchuan's common sense, no one would commit murder in such a tightly guarded place where there was no escape, except for the twelve soldiers in the courtyard, there were also personnel from the security station on the periphery, and besides, he himself was such an arrogant conqueror.
But today's situation obviously exceeded his common sense, Cang Chuan saw a shadow of an arm shaking on the wall, holding a slender unnamed knife in his hand, it shook up and down lightly, this action was not in a hurry, so that Cang Chuan even had time to identify this upper limb and this knife, it was Xiao Wu's right hand holding the knife. But then, Xiao Wu's movements were as fast as lightning, which gave Cang Chuan no time to move his hands and feet, the knife quickly slashed his neck, it did not encounter the slightest resistance, Cang Chuan Seiichiro, the veteran Nakasa, just when the knife passed, he gently sideways his body along it, and muttered in surprise: "Why ......" His limbs didn't move, and he slowly leaned on the wine cabinet and fell to the ground, out of breath.
The blood spurted and slowly stopped.
The two of them quietly looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and the throat of the corpse was gushing with blood.
"He didn't think to resist." Fang Wuying kicked Cang Chuan's corpse. He bent down and quickly grabbed the Tang Dynasty brocade and stuffed it into his arms.
"Who called him noble and arrogant enough, we should be glad for that." After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he walked to the table, bent down to pick up the book of "The Main Words of the Southern Tang Dynasty", and walked back to the corpse.
"The last imperial decree: Whoever has the words of the widow will be killed."
After speaking coldly to the corpse, Xiao Wu stuffed the book into his arms: "Let's go." ”
…… After losing their traces for more than 72 hours, Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying finally returned safely.
But when the glass door opened, everyone was shocked!
Xiao Wu's body was splashed with blood, and there was also blood on Fang Wuying's sleeve.
After a dead silence for five seconds, Su Hong weakly held on to the fire hydrant next to her and slowly sat down: "...... Which of you two was hurt? ”
"No one was hurt." Fang Wuying smiled, walked to the pool and washed his hands first.
Xiao Wu took off his clothes, and he also went to the pool to wash his hands.
Fang Wuying walked into the office: "Hey, come here!" ”
Everyone woke up and rushed into the office in a hurry.
I saw that Fang Wuying grabbed a towel to wipe his hands clean, carefully took out something from his arms, and put it on the table.
“…… Taken from the hands of devils. He whispered, and then glanced around the crowd, "Everyone, this is the precious Tang Dynasty 'gold everywhere' colorful peony brocade." ”
All of you, hold your breath!
"Take it back?" Lei Jun looked at him, "You mean ......"
"Killed a devil."
Xiao Wu said behind him.
Lei Jun looked back at him in shock: "What?!" ”
"Devil." Xiao Wu said lightly, "A Zhongzuo." ”
No one spoke for a moment.
Su Hong struggled to slowly walk to the table, she bent down and picked up the peony brocade with her hand.
Her expression became very weird!
"Strange, this ...... I've seen this thing. She stared at the tapestry in amazement, and whispered, "I...... I've definitely seen this tapestry......"
"Where have you seen it?" Wei Bin asked, "Museum?" ”
"No, I...... That's how I held it and watched it. Su Hong raised her head and stuttered a little, "I'...... I think I've been watching it for a long time......"
Sensing the strangeness in everyone's expressions, Su Hong came to her senses, she laughed dryly, and put down the brocade: "I'm sorry, maybe I've seen the picture." ”
Xiao Wu turned his head to look at Ling Juan: "Director, I killed someone." ”
Ling Juan shook his head: "Don't mention this first, Xiao Wu, Captain Fang, you go and clean up first, and then everyone will have a collective meeting later." ”
With that, she turned and walked towards the conference room.
Fang Wuying patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, his expression was very relieved.
Appendix
It is likely that the twisted gold wire (round gold wire) technology was introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, and it matured in the Tang Xuanzong period. Of course, this high-end fabric can still be woven today, but because the finished product is too expensive, it is rarely sold in China, and the main customers are Japanese.
They used it as a sash for their kimonos.
