Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bird with the Bow
Within two or three days of Li Youtang's death, Luo Sibao, a member of the maintenance association, fell into the water and drowned; Li Zixian fell to his death from the top floor of his small western-style building; and Zhang Xianlin, a member of the Japan-China Goodwill and Friendship Association, was seriously injured and fell unconscious after rolling off a cliff on Baiyun Mountain.
In the past few days, there have been several cases of unnatural deaths in Guangzhou, and there was such a note at the scene of the crime: "Betraying the country for glory will not be a good death." For a time, traitors of all sizes in Guangzhou were like frightened birds, afraid that they would be eliminated like Li Youtang.
Feng Lianfa learned that Li Youtang and some members of the maintenance association had died unexpectedly, and that they had left a threatening note at the scene, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out all day, for fear that he would suffer the same fate.
The phone at home rang, and Feng Lianfa picked up the phone: "Hey, which one?" ”
"I'm Kazuo Yamada, I heard that Mr. Li was unfortunately killed, and the position of vice president of the maintenance association is vacant, didn't you ever complain that you don't have an official and a half-position, and now the opportunity has come, please take over Mr. Li's position and serve as the vice president of the maintenance association."
"No, no, Mr. Yamada, the situation is different now, haven't you heard that several members of the maintenance association and the goodwill association have died unexpectedly recently? Mr. Yamada, would you like to ask for another master. ”
"Eight Ge, you coward, are you scared?" Yamada's words were full of anger.
"My gallbladder is really not good, so I'll recuperate at home and we'll talk about it when I'm well, okay?"
"Eight Tooth Road." Yamada slammed the phone on the table.
Watanabe has been under a lot of pressure recently, and in just a few days, the accidental deaths of traitors in some Japanese puppet institutions in Guangzhou have emerged one after another, and there is such a note at the scene that "traitors seek glory and will not die well"; obviously, this is the work of the underground anti-Japanese armed forces to deter traitors, and these dead traitors are so highly consistent with the top-secret document "List of Friendly Friends between Japan and China in Guangzhou" that he has to suspect that this document has been leaked.
Watanabe opened the safe and was relieved to see that the document was still there, but after thinking about it, could it be stolen by someone, he picked up the document and took a closer look to see if there were any other fingerprints, but unfortunately he didn't find any flaws.
He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, thinking about it for the past few days hurt his brain, so he stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and stretched. Suddenly, he noticed a button under the curtain, and Watanabe picked it up and compared it with the button on his military uniform, and found that this button was very similar to the button on his military uniform, but the decoration was different. Apparently this is not dropped by insiders. So whose buckle would it be?
Watanabe remembered the day Yurong delivered the soup, he drank the soup, and suddenly had a stomach, and then saw a figure flashing at the end of the corridor, it was the figure of a Japanese officer, but that night, all the soldiers who stayed in the secret service were soldiers, and there were no officers, could this button have fallen from that military uniform?
Watanabe came to the sentinel's room and asked about the sentry who was on duty that day.
"Four or five days ago night, did you ever see a tall Japanese officer come in or out of here?"
"I think about it, it looks like a tall Japanese officer has gone out from here. I haven't met this guy before. ”
"Do you remember what he looks like?"
"It was late, it was dark, and it was fleeting, so I didn't have much of an impression."
Watanabe was a little disappointed, but one thing was certain, someone pretended to be a Japanese officer and entered the army secret service that day. He then recalled that Yu Rong came to bring him soup that day, and asked him to run to the door to pick it up in person, so was this a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? Could it be that Yurong is also an accomplice? Then the day before, Yu Rong came to deliver the military uniform, walked into his office, and opened the safe in Yu Rong's presence that day. And what about the day before yesterday? Lu Yixiang invited him to the 100-day banquet, at the banquet, Yurong soiled his military uniform, and then he went to take a bath, Yurong helped him wipe his back in the bathroom, and the key was in the military pants at that time, if it was really Yurong, then she might steal his key.
Watanabe's mind was like a movie, and he played all the things related to Yurong in the past few days, and all the doubts seemed to point to Yurong. If Yurong really has a problem, it will be terrible.
He immediately thought of Kazuo Yamada, why Lu Yixiang, a hard bone, was unwilling to cooperate with the Japanese and become a traitor, but why did he suddenly feast on his rival, is this another conspiracy? It seems that the Lu family is not simple.
Watanabe wants to meet the people of the Lu family for a while.
Lu Yixiang learned that there had been inexplicable deaths of traitors who had defected to the enemy for a while recently, and he was overjoyed.
"This is really retribution, those traitors and lackeys who have taken refuge in the Japanese should end up like this, which is really happy."
"This must be the manifestation of the Bodhisattva, to punish those wicked."
"Who would do this? It really seems to be the work of those loyal people in the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness. Chivalrous and courageous, punish adultery and eliminate evil. ”
"That must have been done by the heavenly soldiers and generals sent by the Bodhisattva, you see, until now, the police have not caught the murderer, these people must be three-headed and six-armed, with great magical powers."
"Ruqin, don't be nonsense, how can there be any three-headed and six-armed heavenly soldiers, not the work of flesh-and-blood chivalrous men like us."
Yulin and Shuxian walked in, today they wanted to have a showdown with their parents.
"Dad, Mom, you're all here, we just have something to tell you."
"What's the matter, so serious." Mrs. Lu felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen.
"Dad, you know that many traitors in Guangzhou City have died recently, and the whole city has been a sensation."
"Yes, the common people are applauding, saying that this is evil and evil retribution." Lu Yixiang had a smile on his face.
"A total of twelve traitors were killed, and four traitors were seriously injured and fell into a coma." Shuxian told the second elder the specific number.
"Really, so much?" Mrs. Lu's eyes widened.
"Do you know who did this?" Lu Yulin deliberately sold Guanzi.
"Who?" Lu Yixiang was eager to know the answer.
"It's Shuxian's sister and brother-in-law."
"Huh?" Lu Yixiang's mouth opened wide, doubting his ears.
"And the guerrillas they are in have done it." Shuxian added.
"Shuxian, it turns out that your sister and brother-in-law are both communists?" Lu Yixiang suddenly realized.
"Actually, so is Shuxian and I." Yu Lin proudly confessed to his parents.
"Lin'er, Shuxian, are you too?" Lu Yixiang was dumbfounded, carefully looking at his son and daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Lu felt that it was a fantasy.
"Dad, then do you know how to get the list of these traitors, and who did it?" Lu Yulin looked proud.
"Who?"
"Far away in the sky, close in front of you, it's me, your son Lu Yulin, and Yurong."
"Yurong? Yurong, this girl is also one of yours? Mrs. Lu's open mouth was no less than Lu Yixiang.
"Well, Yurong is very smart and capable." Shuxian admires Yurong very much.
"I really didn't expect it, it turns out that you have been fighting together for a long time."
"Dad, do you know now why I let my mother and Shuxian come back from Hong Kong, why I held a 100-day banquet for Ming'er, and why I invited so many traitors and devils to come, right?"
"It turns out that you have already planned it, and you kept your father in the dark, and that day I saw that you had invited so many pseudo-traitors, I was really mad. Looks like Daddy blames you. Lu Yixiang remembered that day when he almost lost his temper with Yu Lin in public, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Dad, Mom, we are talking to the two of you about this today, the first is to hope for your understanding and support." Shuxian held Mrs. Lu's hand and looked at her parents-in-law gently but firmly.
"We definitely support this, as long as it is an anti-Japanese thing, I raise my hands in favor. And we will fully cooperate and actively support. Lu Yixiang was very excited when he heard that the children were fighting against Japan.
"The second is 。。。。。。" Shuxian wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's the second one?" Lu Yixiang asked curiously.
"I'll tell you." Yu Lin grabbed the conversation: "Dad, Mom, the second is to let you cooperate in acting a bitter trick." ”
"Bitter Meat Trick?"
"This is also for our own safety considerations, you think, now the traitors of all sizes in Guangzhou City have been hit, and our family has just hosted so many traitors and devils, if we are not damaged at all, then everyone may focus their suspicions on us, so we directed and acted on ourselves a bitter trick to confuse the public and make the enemy not suspect us."
"Yes, yes, yes, or you are thoughtful." Lu Yixiang deeply praised this strategy.
"That's what Shuxian reminded me."
"Shuxian is right, so what kind of bitter trick do you say?"
"Then we have to make the second elder suffer a little, and I will tie you up later, and then the house will be a mess and a mess." Shuxian blushed and said, "The child is not filial, please forgive the second elder." ”
"Shuxian, you are doing this for the good of our family, where is it unfilial, come on, take the hemp rope, you should smash it, you should smash it, but it's best not to break the blue and white porcelain vase on the Bogu shelf, it's an old antique, it's quite valuable."
"Ruqin, you still care about this, you can do whatever you think it looks like. Don't care if it's worth anything or not. ”
"Oh, when you drop something, carry Ming'er to the lawn, don't scare him." Mrs. Lu instructed again.
"yes, got it."
After discussing with his parents, Yulin began to implement the bitter meat plan, he smashed the bottles and cans at home, and then found a few hemp ropes, tied his parents to the Taishi chair in the living room, and then put a note on the table that "betrayed the country for glory, and must not die well". Shuxian was tied to the room on the second floor, while Ming'er was asleep on the bed. Then tie Uncle Yao, Fat Aunt, and Tiger Boy in the restaurant.
