Ni Xin got out of the car, and Song Ningsheng ran over to report: "There was no one in the car where the explosion occurred, so the time was deducted, the handbrake was put down, and the vehicle slid down the gentle slope over there." The people in the car ran away. ”

You Hanbo also came over to report: "Director Ni, the sniper has run away." Yesterday, the subordinates were ordered to observe along the way, and they all arranged for people to be on duty in places where sniping was possible, and the location where people could be hidden was beyond the effective sniping range of the road. It is estimated that the sniper uses a new sniper rifle. ”

Ezaki Takayuya got off the car that Fengwen was riding under the rockery, walked up to Ni Xin and said: "Team Leader You is right, this is the bullet fired by the sniper, it is an American-made M1903-A 40.30-inch sniper rifle, an improved product put into production at the beginning of 1943, it should be the Americans to assist the Chongqing government, and the effective sniper range is farther than our common Meiji 38 Type 97 rifle." ”

In front of several subordinates, Ni Xin asked perfunctorily: "General Yamashita Fengwen is not frightened, is he?" ”

Takayuki Ezaki replied, "The general was calm and ordered us to set off as soon as possible. ”

Ni Xin ordered: "Team Leader Song, you stay here to continue the investigation, hunt down the murderer, and the others get in the car and set off." ”

At one o'clock, Yamashita Fengwen and his entourage arrived at the Ministry of Defense of the Nanjing Government, and the participants of the high-level military conference had arrived and waited, and after a simple rest and meal, at two o'clock, Yamashita Fengwen and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao went to the conference room, and Ni Xinjing accompanied the last seat. ，

At the same time, in the small fishing village, Cui Feng sent a telegram: "Director Zhou, a secret telegram from the Nanjing Action Group. ”

Zhou Chengbin took out the code book and translated the telegram and said, "Please Deputy Director Liu to see me." ”

A few minutes later, Liu Zezhi came, and Zhou Chengbin said: "A telegram from Bao Zuzhang: Retreat after the sniper operation, there were no casualties, but it is estimated that there is no gain. Yamashita Fengwen and his entourage went directly to the Ministry of Defense of the Wang puppet government in Nanjing, and his attaché and some agents of No. 76 went to the Central Hotel. Saber had already borrowed money from Mingqi's hand to deliver the application item to Peng Weiwei, who must have called it. ”

"So far, so far, everything is going well. Lao Peng's father is an old pedant who has tried and tested for a long time, and he used such a rare word to name his son, most people don't know him, and they call him Lao Peng from top to bottom. Let's hope he'll get the job done. Is it still necessary for us to stay here? ”

"You also said that Lao Peng may not necessarily succeed. In the call, Bao Zuzhang also said that he would send a second telegram at this time tomorrow, so let's wait patiently. ”

"It's okay, it's rare to have half a day of leisure, I have a pair of chess in the car I drove, and I will accompany you to play two games."

Zhou Chengbin thanked Bumin, waved his hand and said: "Let's go, I don't play chess with you, the level is too far behind, and you can't win." I have a set of fishing gear in my car, so let's go fishing together. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after checking the security measures again, Asano breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would attend a dinner party in the evening, so he took the time to go back to the room to change his clothes, passing by Lao Peng's room, only to see the door ajar, Lao Peng half lying on the bed bored and reading the newspaper, stopping and saying: "Peng Sang, you are very leisurely." ”

Lao Peng sat up and beckoned, "Asano-kun, come in and sit down, the coffee that was just brewed was sent by the attaché of Yamashita Fengwen, and it was produced in Sumatra." ”

Asano came in with a click and said strangely: "The general's attaché gave you a gift?" You're big enough of face. He took a sip of coffee and praised, "It tastes good." ”

Doctor Peng replied while making coffee for himself: "The general is allergic, and his military doctor came to me to discuss the matters to be paid attention to in the Songhu area, as well as whether the amount of vitamin C commonly used by the general needs to be adjusted, I suggested that he add pine pollen, and he gave me two catties of coffee, I like to drink tea, and I am very general about coffee, you can take some in a while." ”

"You better send Director Ni, he likes this mouthful."

"Forget it, just such a thing, why are you embarrassed to give it to Director Ni? You and I just have to divide it. Actually, I didn't need to come, General Yamashita had a medical officer in his own attaché. ”

"It's one thing for the general's attaché to have a medical officer, and we have to prepare for it as well. Besides, you have been on the 76th for many years, checks, tests, autopsies...... That's everything, it's all connoisseurs. ”

Doctor Peng smiled and said, "What are you talking about?" Autopsy? Don't use this specialty. ”

As soon as the two chatted for a few words, You Hanbo came to Asano with a click: "Asano-kun, it turns out that you are here, let me find it easily." The food for the dinner has been delivered, and after you bring someone to inspect it, it will be handed over to the kitchen. ”

Asano drank dry coffee with one click, got up and said, "Yusang, you go to the people from the technical department and ask them to go to the warehouse too, Pengsang, let's go together." ”

Lao Peng carried a toolbox containing laboratory equipment and followed Asano to the basement with one click. In accordance with the requirements of No. 76, the Peace Hotel deliberately vacated three small warehouses in the basement for their exclusive use. Asano looked at it with one click and ordered: "Peng Sang, you sample and test the drinks, and you go to assist Peng Sang." Seeing You Hanbo arrive with two technicians from the technical department: "You Sang, you two check vegetables, meat and other ingredients; You come with me and check the staple foods such as snacks and flour and fruits. ”

There are two kinds of wine for dinner, one is Japanese sake, a box of six jars, one and a half catties per jar; One is a French wine, with twelve bottles in a case. Doctor Peng opened a bottle of wine and said to the assistant that Asano sent to him with one click: "You go to Team Leader You and ask for two PH reagent papers." ”

That person was You Hanbo's subordinate, and he found You Hanbo first and relayed Lao Peng's request. You Hanbo waited for a while, and saw that the people from the technical department checked the celery in hand before saying, "Lao Peng wants PH reagent paper." ”

The technician took off his gloves, opened the toolbox, took out a few of each one, and said, "I don't know which one Lao Peng lacks, you can take two of each." ”

The specifications of the dinner were very high, but the participants were only three tables, and the ingredients were not much, more than half an hour, and the other inspections were over, only Lao Peng took out two small glasses, poured half a glass of each wine, and observed carefully.

Asano asked with one click, "Peng Sang, how long will it take?" Did you find any problems? ”

"No problem, you see: no sediment. Wait a minute—" Picking up half a glass of white wine and drinking it in a few sips, he drank very little, and immediately blushed.

Asano said, "There will be a special person to taste the food before the dinner. ”

You Hanbo, who was quite good at the contents of the glass, interjected: "I will drink this glass of wine for you, the aging of France, which has not been seen for many years." ”

Doctor Peng said with a smile: "There are only three tables at the dinner, twelve bottles of wine, you can't finish drinking, and the rest is yours." Asano-kun, where to sign? ”

Asano handed over a form with one click: "Here, and here, you have to sign it, okay." Team Leader You, you take someone to the kitchen to supervise the work. ”

At half past six in the evening, the dinner was held as scheduled, and most of the people in the audience were Japanese, and most of them chose to drink sake. The Japanese army was caught in a bitter battle on all fronts, and these senior commanders, who knew the situation of the war, were in a bad mood, and at half past eight o'clock, the dinner was over.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, after a busy day, Asano took a shower and was about to rest, when Qian Mingqi, who was on duty, accompanied the accompanying medical officer of Yamashita Fengwen: "Asano-kun, the general's hives have recurred, and they are still very bad, and they can't rest at all." ”

Ni Xin, who happened to talk to Kagezo Zhenzhao after finishing his work, also came to Asano with a key, and when he heard this, he said, "Did the general have this old disease before?" ”

Asano introduced with one click: "This is our Director Ni. ”

The medical officer replied, "I know, Director Ni, hello. The general is allergic, he used to have urticaria, and in the past few years, he has fought in the Philippines and other places, and after recuperation, he has been much better, but who knows that he suddenly relapsed today. ”

Ni Xin replied: "It may be that the general has just arrived in Songhu, and he is not accustomed to the water and soil, and there are two dishes of seafood at the dinner, which will also induce urticaria." Doctor Peng, there are many causes of urticaria, you can help to see, it is best to take Chinese medicine for treatment. ”

The medical officer was surprised by Ni Xin's erudition: "Thank you, Director Ni, you are really knowledgeable. The last time the general came to Shanghai, he took traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect was very good. What is the path of that Chinese medicine practitioner...... I can't remember, by the way, last time Ezaki-kun was also involved in the general's defense, so I went to ask him. Peng Sang, you can also come with me to have a look. ”

After the two left, Asano took a cup of coffee with one click and said, "Director, please take a seat, this is the coffee that Lao Peng gave me, you taste it, it's not bad." What do you want me to say? ”

Ni Xin sat down and replied: "There is still half a day left in the military meeting tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon, General Yamashita Fengwen will separately summon the officers above the regimental level who are about to be transferred to reinforce the Pacific Theater. On the morning of the 24rd, I went to Shanghai at 5 p.m., stayed at the Peace Hotel, held a work meeting of various departments in Shanghai on the morning of the 24th, and held a banquet at noon to entertain the leading figures in Shanghai's political, banking and business circles. Seven or eight of them were summoned individually in the evening. These occasions, of course, were attended by the general himself. At 3 p.m., the press conference was mixed, and after the persuasion of General Kagesa, General Yamashita agreed to have a stand-in appear. ”

"So we're going to focus our work on the luncheon at the Peace Hotel on the 24th, more than sixty people? Can you persuade the general to also come forward by a stand-in? ”

"Persuaded, the general disagrees, let's do what the general wants. You go back two hours early and check the security work again with Liu Weiping. ”

Asano replied with one click: "Yes, it's not early, you should rest early." ”

Ni Xin looked at his watch, got up and said, "The general is unwell, I will visit you politely, you have worked hard in the past few days, rest early." ”

Asano got up with one click, opened the door, and said, "Hives aren't a serious disease, are they?" Director Ni, I didn't expect you to know so much about urticaria, an uncommon disease, and I haven't heard that you have this disease. ”

Ni Xin suddenly stopped, looked at Asano fixedly, thoughtful.

Asano was very uncomfortable to be looked at one click, and said with a smile: "Director Ni, you ...... What's wrong? Did the subordinate say something wrong? ”

Ni Xin turned around and went back to his room, and ordered: "Asano-kun, immediately order Ezaki Takagen to come to see me—wait, first ask General Yamashita's adjutant to come to General Kagesa's room to see me, and say that I have something urgent to find him, don't alarm others, and ask him to hide from all the people." ”
