Chapter 138: Losing Conscience

Sir George's words left no room for anything, and Kagesashi didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Heiichiro Ono smiled lightly: "It's Ono who is abrupt." As an instructor at the Royal Military Academy of the Duke of York in the British Empire, how could Sir George condescend to his dignity and personally instruct Shadow Zuojun's subordinates? Shadow Son, I think it's better for you to ask Sir George for advice in person, or ask Sir George's teaching materials to let your subordinates with mediocre qualifications slowly understand. Isn't that good? ”

Before Shadow could speak, Sir George once again explicitly refused: "I think my words have been made clear enough. When the war is over, you are welcome to visit my farmhouse in Scotland. At that time, we teachers and students could learn together. ”

Shadow Zuo Zhen Zhao secretly said that this old gentleman is really stubborn and unreasonable, the war is over, what are you doing with all this? Forget it, why should teachers and students break up unhappily? Let him go. He was about to speak, but he didn't expect Charles Ingalls to say a few words that surprised everyone present: "Ying Zuojun, don't get me wrong, my father is not just for you, he said the same thing to Guo Xuan yesterday." "George Ingalls wanted to stop his son, but it was too late.

Guo Xuan? Yesterday? Kagesa Showa and Ono Heiichiro glanced at each other, and Kagesa Zhenzhao asked, "Sir, did you see Guo Xuan yesterday?" What is your relationship with Guo Xuan? Where did you meet him? ”

Why is the son so naΓ―ve? China and Japan are at war, and Guo Xuan and Kagezo Zhenzhao are enemies. But Sir George didn't take it too seriously, and said perfunctorily: "He is also my student, three years later than you, and when he came to England, you just graduated." It was just a chance encounter on the road and a few words of chat. They broke up in a hurry. ”

A chance encounter on the road? There is no such coincidence in the world. Although Kagezo Zhenzhao was still smiling, the smile only floated on his face: "Where did you meet by chance?" What did they talk about? Is Guo Xuan a person? How long have we been talking? ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's question made George quite displeased, and replied coldly: "I am not familiar with Shanghai, and I don't know where the place where I met Guo Xuan is." What did you need to know? I'm British, do you want to interrogate me? ”

Shadow Zuozhen said curtly: "Sir, you misunderstood, Shadow Zuo didn't dare." ”

Heiichiro Ono did not have any scruples about the status of teacher and student, and said: "Sir, you also said just now: Japan and China are in a state of war. Guo Xuan was an enemy of the Japanese Empire and was at the top of the wanted list of the Songhu occupation army. Sir, you are also a soldier, and you should know the duties of a soldier. Now that the traces of this wanted criminal have been found in Shanghai, how can Ono and the others not go all out to arrest him? ”

Sir George sneered, "Then you go and arrest him, and I won't stop you." ”

Shadow Zo Zhenzhao was about to speak, but Sir George waved his hand to stop him: "Okay, what you want to do is your business." Our father and son are neither Japanese nor Japanese soldiers, and we have no obligation to obey orders. ”

Sir George's words were not leaky, and Britain and Japan did not fight each other, so Shadow Akira could not take extraordinary measures openly. He glanced at Li Shiqun, and Li Shiqun whispered a few words to the small wild crane beside him. Ono Tsuruko got up and walked over to Kagesa Zhenaki and whispered in her ear. Kagesa nodded. Li Shiqun smiled and said "unaccompanied", got up and left the table, and came outside, Liu Zezhi hurriedly got up to greet him, Li Shiqun ordered: "Call the unit and order Ni Xin and Tian Chengxi to wait for me in the office immediately." ”

After Liu Zezhi finished calling, Li Shiqun quietly left with him and returned to No. 76. Liu Zezhi is very strange: Li Shiqun was invited to attend the dinner, why did he have to leave so soon? And he didn't bring his wife Ye Jiqing.

Back on No. 76, Tian Chengxi and Ni Xin ushered in. Li Shiqun instructed: "Captain Tian, organize manpower to seal St. Mary's Church in the name of the city police station and the military police regiment. Put all the Chinese inside in Tilanqiao Prison. Zezhi, you go with Captain Tian. Ni Xin, follow me. ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said with a smile: "Don't talk about these digressions. Today is to catch the wind for the teacher. You are right, Britain and Japan are normal diplomatic relations, and you cannot be disrespectful to you in public or private affairs. Come, I'll give you another drink. ”

The guests and hosts have their own thoughts and are bound by etiquette, although this dinner is not unfinished, it is also unhappy. The Ingalls father and son rejected the offer of Shadow Akira to send their own chauffeur to see him off, ordered two three-wheeled vehicles, and returned to St. Mary's Church.

At the entrance of the church, four armed gendarmes stood and two jeeps sped away in front of the Ingalls sons, and in a hurry, Pastor Charles saw only two Chinese orphans he had adopted sitting on them. The incident happened suddenly, and the father and son were dumbfounded.

Mr. Coase, a probationary priest, ran out of the church and said in horror: "Mr. Charles, a large number of people have just arrived, saying that we are suspected of colluding with Chongqing spies to engage in illegal acts against the Japanese Empire. Pastor Tan, two co-workers, and six children were all taken away. I was left alone, saying I was British, so they didn't arrest me. ”

Charles was stunned for a long time before asking, "Who is here?" City Police Department? Or the Gendarmerie Corps? Agent 76 headquarters? Collusion with whom? What activities were you engaged in? I don't understand at all. ”

Unlike his son, who was ignorant of the world and devoted himself to serving his heavenly father, Sir George saw the crux of the problem at a glance, and a wave of anger rose up at once, which could hardly be contained, and he endured and endured, admonishing himself not to lose his gentlemanly demeanor in the face of these Japanese military police. To his son and Pastor Kos, he said, "Mr. Kos, please keep watch over the church here. Charles, let's go, go find Kagesa Zhenzhao! ”

The father and son went to the Japanese headquarters in Songhu, and the doorman politely said that General Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was only here during work hours. However, I heard that the general is not in good health these days and is unable to work hard, so he has to recuperate for a few days. Sir George, who had hit a soft nail, was pondering the intentions of Shadow Akira. Charles asked, "Then what are we going to do to find General Kagesa Zhenzhao?" ”

Sir George couldn't stop him, thinking that his son would hit a big nail, but the doorman surprised Charles to tell Charles the address of Shadow Akira's house. Sir George thus affirmed his judgment that he was going to take three Chinese adults and six Chinese children in the church hostage to force himself to cooperate with him. He silently calculated: It is absolutely not okay to hand over Guo Xuan, doing so has broken through the bottom line of his own life, not to mention the vast sea of people, where can he find Guo Xuan? Then I can only agree to hold a short-term code-breaking training course for half a month for Kagesa Zhenzhao. Fortunately, I can still grasp what to teach and what to teach. Alas! Being coerced by others is really unwilling! How could Kagesa Zhenzhao become so inferior, it is really a discredit to Japan.

In the apartment of the senior Japanese military officer in the Aili Garden, the doorman stopped the Ingalls son, interrogated their identities, and made several phone calls, and then said: "The general's secretary said that the general is not at home, please come to his office to talk about anything." ”

Worried about whether the nine people who had been captured would be mistreated, and being instructed back and forth by Kagesa Zhenzhao's subordinates, Sir George was furious and about to have a seizure. A black official car drove out of the gate, drove twenty or thirty meters and then stopped, and Heiichiro Ono stepped out of the car: "Isn't this Sir George?" We meet again. How did you end up here? Are you here to find Kagesa-kun? He had a bit of a trivial affair and went to Nanjing overnight. I wonder if I would have the pleasure of serving you, Sir Sir? ”

Sir George couldn't see that this was all a pre-arranged scene, and under the eaves of people, he could only pretend to be confused, and said: "There is really something to trouble Kagesa-kun, since he is not there, it is the same as General Ono......"

Before Sir George could finish speaking, Ono smiled politely, "How can I let you stand here and talk?" When Kagesa-kun found out, he would definitely blame me for neglecting his mentor. Please take a seat in the humble house. ”

Heiichiro Ono's driver got out of the car and respectfully opened the door, and Sir George had no choice but to get into the car. In the car, Sir George talked about the situation roughly, and very tactfully asked Heiichiro Ono to help inquire, and smiled, and said: "In the next half a month, it will be boring to stay idle, and when Ying Zuo Zhenzhao returns to Shanghai, I want to talk to him." Teachers and students have been separated for a long time, and there are no more topics except for majors, so they have to chat about some boring telecommunications knowledge to pass the time. ”

Heiichiro Ono listened with a smile, noncommittal. Arriving at a single courtyard where Heiichiro Ono lived, Ono Tsuruko and a Chinese man in a gray shirt greeted him. Heiichiro Ono took his seat and said, "Please sit down for a while, and I'll inquire about the situation." ”

To the west of the living room is a living room symbolically separated by a multi-treasure pavilion. The sound of Heiichiro Ono's phone call was heard clearly by several people in the living room. The first call seemed to be to the secretary. "I'm Heiichiro Ono, can you check which department handled the action against St. Mary's Church tonight? Why exactly? Will there be any misunderstanding in this, and tell me as soon as there is news. ”

Putting down the phone, Heiichiro Ono went out for a while and changed into a kimono casual clothes. Before he could speak to Sir George in the drawing-room, the telephone rang. Heiichiro Ono picked up the phone: "Oh, so it's a unified operation of the gendarmerie and the city police department, what?" Conclusive? Is that the Chinese trainee pastor with the surname Tan ? Oh, he's a military commander...... What the? Those two workers are also military commanders? What did you say? How so? Assault on the police? Is the injury serious? He's dead? Killed on the spot? What's going on in the church? Confiscated? I know. ”

When he heard that someone had died, the Reverend Charles stood up suddenly, and Sir George took his son by the hand and motioned for him to rest easy. Heiichiro Ono put down the phone, walked back to the living room, and said apologetically: "Sir George, you may have heard it: Pastor Tan attacked the police and was killed. I'm sorry. You may not know it: I was taken advantage of last year because I was unfavorable, and I was punished. After coming back, he didn't reinstate, and I couldn't command these people, so I could only wait for Kagesa-kun to come back, and he would come forward to see if he could release them first. Needless to say, those children were locked up in Tilanqiao Prison, where there was no light and many grievances. ”

What did Heiichiro Ono mean by this, could Sir George understand it? He stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go find him when Kagesa-kun comes back." ”

Heiichiro Ono said politely: "St. Mary's Church has been seized, where are you two going?" Why don't you just give up your grievances for a night? ”

"No need, farewell."
