At this moment, thousands of miles away in Shanghai, there is also a continuous spring rain, but the early spring in Shanghai is much warmer than the early spring in southern Shaanxi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe warm, humid air currents from the Indian Ocean brought warm, humid air from the Tibetan Plateau and brought the first rain of spring 1942 in Shanghai.

At a Japanese izakaya called "Naniwa" on the North Sichuan Road, near the headquarters of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army, Captain Yoshino was drinking his fourth bottle of Japanese shochu tonight.

Yoshino was a regular visitor to the izakaya, and as usual, he occupied the seat by the window and poured himself a drink. Through the rain-drenched glass windows, you can see the occasional passing car and hurried passerby on the cold street under the white street lamps. You can also see a papier-mâché white lantern with the word "Naniwa" written on it fluttering in the wind and rain outside the store.

The few snacks he ordered when he first entered the restaurant had already been swept away by Captain Yoshino, who asked the proprietress to serve teriyaki chicken thighs, tempura, and grilled eel.

It's getting late, and the customers are almost gone. Although a group of young officers from the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters were frequent visitors here, people were too lazy to come out to drink on rainy days, and second, before the time for payout, the junior officers had already had empty pockets, and even those who wanted to come out to drink were reluctant to drink.

Yoshino is different from ordinary petty officers, although he is also single, although he does not have a girlfriend, he never goes to the comfort station or the like to vent **** Although he is only a captain officer, and the military salary of other junior officers is pitiful, but as the adjutant of General Haruki, the head of the plum organ, he can also receive a considerable amount of social expenses and allowances every month, even if he comes out to drink every day, he can still save enough money to remit back to his home in Japan. What's more, he is here to drink and kill his sorrows today.

Since General Haruki came to Gabriel's Hospital this morning to "convince" Sheh Manshi to "cooperate" with the Mei Agency, Yoshino has officially begun his work - to obtain "the price of the bride".

She Manshi is weak, but she is also very cooperative.

Yoshino's first question was, "Miss Sheh, can you tell me where the secret book numbered 'I-1939-Nakata-7301' is?" ”

She blinked her bandaged eyes slightly, and for a few seconds, Captain Yoshino thought that her eyes were firing at her, or that she was trying to deceive herself by making up a lie. But it was clear that She Manshi was planning to cooperate with Mei in good faith, and her voice was very soft, but Yoshino was able to hear it clearly: "It's in my hands!" ”

It was the first time Yoshino had spoken to her, and the first time he had heard her answer formally.

"Her voice is so beautiful!" Yoshino thought to himself, and words like "Yingming Green Valley" unconsciously popped up in his heart. The thought that maybe he would be able to hear this beautiful voice every day in the future made Yoshino want to laugh happily.

When Captain Yoshino heard She Manshi on the hospital bed confess to him that the secret book of "I-1939-Nakata-7301", which had cost many lives, was in her hand, she somehow suddenly felt an inexplicable disappointment in her heart.

"In your hands? You're saying that the secret book numbered 'I-1939-Nakata-7301' is in your possession - can you tell me where you put it? Yoshino tried to speak as slowly as he could, and his tone was as polite as possible.

She must have been thinking about it, because Yoshino saw that her dark eyes were rolling.

"She looks so beautiful when she thinks about it!" Yoshino admired in his heart.

"I hid it in my safe house in Dasheng Alley!" She seemed tired, as Yoshino noticed that her voice was getting softer.

"Dasheng Hutong in my safe house!" These words exploded in Yoshino's ears like thunder, and the agent's sensitivity told him: There is a play! "So she still has a 'safe house'? I don't know who provided it to her? Could it be that she is connected to the CCP underground organization in Shanghai again? Could it be that Li Shiqun's anti-introductory plan failed? Countless thoughts flashed through Yoshino's mind, but his quick mind immediately grasped the gist of it: "Hold on, Shesan." Here's a problem -- a little bit of a question -- as far as I know, you should have hidden this secret book in the safe deposit box of the Shanghai branch of Zhengjin Bank! Since you said that the secret book is in your hand, then do you have two secret books? ”

Yoshino sees this as a flaw -- an important flaw in Sheman's poetry. "Does she have any doubts that make her refuse to work with us honestly? Or was she just lying, and what she just said was just a temptation? ”

This kind of thing has not happened before, as a veteran spy worker, Yoshino has followed Shogun Hariki to rebel against many important people of the enemy, so he has a certain understanding and analysis of the psychology and reaction of the target of the rebellion.

Now, Yoshino's eyes were fixed on She Manshi's face on the hospital bed, to be exact, staring at her eyes, trying to catch every trace of her gaze.

"Yes, I have two confidential books, one of which I hid in the entrusted safe deposit box of the Shanghai branch of Zhengjin Bank...... It's a Japanese bank, you can't doubt it. After being seriously injured, She Manshi's body was extremely weak, and she was a little out of breath after saying these few words. She paused, closed her eyes and rested for a moment before continuing: "There is another copy that I copied by hand and hid in the safe house of Dasheng Hutong where I live. ”

After speaking, She Manshi glanced at Yoshino again, as if to say, "I'm not lying, do you believe me?" ”

"I see!" Yoshino, of course, believed that She's words sounded logical, so he almost knelt down and kissed She's hand and said, "I believe it, I believe it all!" I believe everything you say! ”

"What a woman with a heart like hair!" Yoshino began to admire in his heart again, "It's hard to imagine that such a weak and beautiful woman is also a careful and professional agent!" ”

As the goddess in his heart, Yoshino will not be stingy to dedicate all his praises to Shemanshi.

Sure enough, as General Qingqi expected, she actually hid the original copy of the secret book in the safe deposit box of Zhengjin Bank - and then was snatched back by Wu Sibao who robbed the gold by mistake - and Wu Sibao also paid the price with his life. It seems that I still have to thank Wu Sibaoli, if he hadn't happened to rob the safe deposit box of Zhengjin Bank, She Manshi would not have heard the news and came to check the safe deposit box, let alone fall into the hands of my Yoshino - isn't this the favor of Amaterasu? Yoshino thought to himself, as if there was really an invisible hand in the dark that sent She Manshi to him.

- Is this providential? (To be continued.) )
