Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Thousand-Footed Mayfly (Part II)

Takahashi Jiro's reason surprised Tang Qianlin a little, but he only understood part of it.

Tang Qianlin asked: "Do you mean that if the scar on your body is exposed, you will be taken to that mysterious army by the military department?" ”

Takahashi Jiro said: "Yes, they will not let go of this great research opportunity, for them, as long as there is research value, they don't care who the other party is, unless they are in a high position, otherwise, what a soldier like us can do is to sacrifice his body and life for the emperor." ”

Tang Qianlin knew that this was an opportunity, a good opportunity to dig out the intelligence of that force.

So, Tang Qianlin asked: "Last night, the soldiers in that carriage were the research results of that unit?" ”

Takahashi Jiro hesitated and said, "Yes, it is a medicine, but the effect of the medicine is only two days, and after two days, the injected soldier will die of physical failure." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "What about you?" Have you also injected? Last night, when I saw you take out your bullets, you didn't use anesthetic. ”

Jiro Takahashi refused to continue: "What I said just now is already a handle in your hands for you, and I am very sincere enough to use my weakness as a condition in exchange for your help. ”

Tang Qianlin thought for a while and said, "You answer my question just now first." ”

Takahashi Jiro frowned and thought for a while: "You are very smart and know where the cause is. I did get the injection of that drug, I originally planned to break the jade last night, but I didn't expect that I didn't die. ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "Hearing you say this, the matter of injecting medicine should not only be known to you and those ten soldiers. ”

"Of course, the whole process is supervised by the epidemic prevention and water supply force." Takahashi Jiro said lightly, "Originally, this medicine was not allowed to be used on our soldiers, but those madmen insisted that this medicine varies from person to person, and those with good physical fitness will be fine." ”

Tang Qianlin asked again: "They haven't done experiments beforehand?" ”

Takahashi Jiro said coldly: "I don't have the right to know this, I just obey orders, and besides, these ten soldiers are not Japanese." ”

Tang Qianlin frowned: "What are you kidding, it's not Japanese, is it a soldier of the so-called Manchukuo Defense Forces?" ”

Jiro Takahashi shook his head slightly: "Five of them are from the 20th Division of North Korea, and there are five brigades from Taiwan." ”

Tang Qianlin didn't react at all, because he didn't know how the divisions and brigades of the Japanese army belonged at all.

After the Japanese invasion and occupation of Korea by the 20th Division, a division under the command of the Korean Army was established, most of the soldiers in this division were Koreans, and this division also participated in the 77 Incident, and later withdrew to Seoul to garrison.

The Taiwan brigade is after the Japanese invasion and occupation of Taiwan, China, the establishment of a total strength of more than 10,000 Taiwan troops, in 1937 participated in the Battle of Songhu, because of the Taiwan garrison commander Shigeto Chiaki as the detachment leader, also known as the Shito Detachment, also known as the Taiwan Brigade, and at that time the Taiwan Brigade composed of Taiwan's local Tu troops was also called the Takasago Volunteers.

Later, this unit was assigned to the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army, and was also known as the Hatada Detachment because of the detachment leader of Hakuda Shigeichi, and it was not until 1939 that this unit was renamed the "Taiwan Mixed Brigade".

Takahashi Jiro smiled disdainfully: "Unless they have to, they will not experiment with the Japanese, of course, if necessary, there will be many Japanese who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the emperor and the empire." ”

Tang Qianlin thought for a while and asked, "Why do you want to be injected?" ”

Jiro Takahashi pointed to his shoulder: "After I have this thing on me, I know that I don't live long......"

"Wait." Tang Qianlin interrupted him, "Why do you know that you won't live long?" You don't even know what that thing is. ”

"Probably ......" Takahashi Jiro said two words, pausing for a long time before saying, "Probably that's a curse, the man said, if you don't help, I won't live for half a year." ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "You go on, we still have some time." ”

Jiro Takahashi raised his hand to look at his watch: "There is no time, do you agree or not?" ”

Tang Qianlin nodded again: "I promise." ”

Jiro Takahashi got up: "Okay, after the train leaves again, we'll talk in detail." ”

Takahashi Jiro said that he was about to leave, limped two steps and stopped, turned his head and said, "Be careful of that person named Qian Sinian, his identity is not just a security bureau agent. ”

Tang Qianlin asked again: "Who is he?" What are the people I don't know about this team? ”

Takahashi Jiro didn't say anything anymore, just slowly walked out of the train.

When Takahashi Jiro walked out, Li Yunfan and the others immediately turned their eyes over, and it was not until they saw that Tang Qianlin walked out safely and sound, and then they were relieved.

Takahashi Jiro was supported by Jun Cao and went to the train station to rest and change dressings, while Tang Qianlin and the others stayed on the platform in the bitter cold wind, watching the Japanese soldiers carry the Buddha statue out and put it into a train of carriages that were rehung in the rear.

Li Yunfan looked around and said in a low voice: "Last night, the armored train had been following behind, but something went wrong, it didn't keep up, and it was exploited by the military commanders. ”

Tang Qianlin asked: "The four last night, are they really from the military command?" ”

Li Yunfan said: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, this kind of task is generally carried out by the military commander, after all, most of the people in the military command are from the military, by the way, the cigarette butt found some clues to the year of the money......

As he spoke, Li Yunfan informed Tang Qianlin that he had touched Qian Sinian's wallet with his cigarette butt last night and found a business card and a pass.

After listening to this, Tang Qianlin looked at the cigarette butt who was smoking in the distance: "You little brother, it's really useful at the critical moment." ”

Li Yunfan nodded towards the cigarette butt in the distance, and said: "I suspect that Qian Sinian, like Park Byung-jung, is a North Korean, first of all, he has a special pass for Manchuria to enter and exit Korea, and it can be judged from the fact that he carries it with him, he will go to North Korea from time to time." Second, the business card was from a North Korean tavern in Harbin, selling local North Korean food and wine. If Qian Sinian has nothing to do with the North Korean side, he doesn't have to hide this, what do you say? ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "That's right, there is a problem with Qian Sinian, Takahashi Jiro told me personally." ”

Li Yunfan was stunned: "Jiro Takahashi told you this?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I made a deal with him. ”

Li Yunfan hurriedly asked: "What transaction?" ”

Tang Qianlin called Li Yunfan to the side and retold the conversation between him and Takahashi Jiro.

After hearing this, Li Yunfan was extremely surprised: "Even this kind of person is afraid of being put into the epidemic prevention and water supply force, but it is conceivable that it is even more hell than hell." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I can now fully confirm that the Japanese have my peers, even if they are not hunted, they are also from the rivers and lakes, and they are extremely smart and good at setting up and reconciling the situation." In addition, there is indeed a problem with Qian Sinian, and besides, Takahashi Jiro also said that the purpose of setting up a bureau to arrest you is also to uproot your father and the military commander's action team in Harbin, and we must pay attention to these aspects. ”

Li Yunfan said: "He didn't say, how will he set up a situation?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I didn't say it, but I will ask him again." ”

Li Yunfan nodded, and remembered something again: "By the way, what is that scar on his body?" ”

"Crawler." Tang Qianlin said in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, that thing is called a thousand-foot mayfly." ”

Li Yunfan asked, "Thousand-legged mayflies?" What's that? ”

An hour later, waiting for the train to restart, in the carriage where the Buddha statue was kept, Jiro Takahashi asked the same question.

What is a millipede?

Tang Qianlin stood in front of the Buddha statue and explained: "In traditional Chinese culture, there is a kind of foreign culture, which is a general term, that is to say, strange forces and gods, feng shui and strange arts, are collectively called foreign culture. The millipede is a kind of insect that exists in other cultures, belonging to the category of ghost insects. ”

Jiro Takahashi looked puzzled: "Different cultures? Ghost bugs? I've been in China for many years and have never heard of it. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Of course ordinary people don't know, even if they do, there are some rivers and lakes that can be seen everywhere, and in the different rivers and lakes, there are many unknown sects, such as our hunting faction is one of them, and the rest are coffin openers, sewing thousands of corpses, earth phases, lonely soldiers, cargo chasers, dark ears and so on. ”

Jiro Takahashi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "And these sects, although they don't show up on weekdays, when the national disaster is at hand, they will stand up and do what they have to do." ”

Jiro Takahashi diverted the topic: "I just want to know what a thousand-foot mayfly is, how can you save me?" ”

Tang Qianlin stared at the Buddha statue for a long time and said: "The thousand-legged mayflies produced in different places have different solutions, like the thousand-legged mayflies on your body that can climb to this part, I still see it for the first time, it is close to the heart, right?" ”

Takahashi Jiro nodded: "Yes, the military doctor of the epidemic prevention and water supply unit also said so, and after he finished the examination, he said that I would not live long, so I decided to inject that medicine and fight to the death, even if I die, it will be considered glorious, and I will not disgrace the Japanese family......"

At first, the military doctor refused because there were rules that did not allow Japanese soldiers to be injected with the drug, but then he changed his mind and agreed to Takahashi's request.

When injecting, Jiro Takahashi saw the greedy eyes of the military doctor, and he suddenly understood that the military doctor wanted to wait for him to die, take his body back for study, and most likely make it into a specimen.

"I don't want to be a specimen, I don't want to be a test subject, even if I die." Jiro Takahashi clenched his fists, "I decided, before I died, to self-destruct. ”

As he spoke, Jiro Takahashi took out a grenade: "If I blow myself to pieces, no one will notice the thousand-legged mayfly on my body, so I secretly asked the military doctor out at night and killed him." ”

Tang Qianlin looked at Takahashi Jiro: "But an accident happened, you who should have died with those ten soldiers last night, but you didn't die, which gave you hope again, you recalled that person's words, so, you thought of me." ”

Takahashi Jiro nodded: "That's right, it stands to reason that even if I don't inject that medicine, I won't live long, but after injecting that medicine, I don't have pain anymore, I don't know why, maybe it's some kind of chemical effect." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "You are miserable, you may die faster." ”

Takahashi Jiro was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"If a person loses the ability to feel pain and discomfort, the body becomes numb and thus loses basic judgment." Tang Qianlin stroked the Buddha statue, still wondering what was inside, "Just like a person coughs when he has a cold, wind and cold, if he doesn't cough and can't feel uncomfortable, he won't take any measures, and his condition will get worse and worse until he dies." ”

Jiro Takahashi stood there pondering, and did not respond.

Tang Qianlin turned to look at him again: "If you want to live, you have to tell me, where did the thousand-legged mayfly on your body come from?" What happened? Also, what's in this Buddha statue? ”
