Tan Jing didn't get the news for the first time, and when the agent was arrested, he was still performing hard at the front desk. The name of Matsumoto Akishita, who he painstakingly investigated, is Sugida Noichi at the moment, and his identity is a famous Japanese early childhood educator.

Matsumoto Akishita soon found that Tan Jing came prepared, because his questions had become more and more professional, and he quickly dug out his little education-related knowledge. The host of this press conference was Tang Qiao, he was embarrassed to stop the competition from asking questions, and at the same time listened to another reporter's questions, after a few innocuous questions, the on-site question session ended successfully, several vice deans on the stage moved to the stage, and the children studying in the college poured up and began to perform some programs that had been prepared for a long time.

As soon as Tang Qiao sat down in the audience, a grim-faced person hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. Tan Jing didn't notice this scene, and when he moved his eyes to the audience, he found that Tang Qiao and Ono Meidai were gone.

He began to feel uneasy, and several times he couldn't hold back, wanting to find out the situation himself. Karahashi returned, but Ono was never seen, and even the concluding speech that she was scheduled to deliver on behalf of Sukawa Shun at the end was changed to a speech by Karahashi at the actual conclusion.

After the press conference, Tan Jing returned to the club from Yuxian College, passing by Boss Wang's fried steamed bun shop halfway, and paid attention to take a second look. Boss Wang made an appointment with him that if there was any task or information that needed to be conveyed in person, he would hang the sign of "Liuzhou Herbal Tea" outside the steamed bun shop, and if not, he would not hang anything.

The steamed bun shop was empty, the door was wide open, and Boss Wang was settling accounts behind the greasy counter, without raising his head.

Tan Jing stayed late in the newspaper office, and after writing the report of Yuxian College, he deliberately rubbed it for a while. When he got off work, he passed by the steamed bun shop again, but the door of the store was still empty. He kept his anxiety back home—he had already moved into the new house with the study, only to find a plainly dressed woman standing at the door of the new house.

"Sir." The woman bowed to him, "I have come to serve you, and my name is Branch." ”

Tan Jing was silent for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and took out the key to open the door: "Come in." ”

The door opened and closed, and the woman named Zhizi stood timidly by the door with the corner of her clothes pinched, so nervous that she didn't know where to put it.

Tan Jing sat down on the sofa and looked at her inexplicably: "Come and sit." ”

Zhizi looked at the clean floor, looked down at his cloth shoes covered with stains and dust, hesitated, took them off, and stepped on the floor with socks.

The socks were made of various rags, and the branch wore them and walked over and sat down on his knees at the coffee table.

Tan Jing asked her in Japanese, "What's your name?" ”

The edako also changed to Japanese, as if relieved: "Naoko, Oda Kiri Naoko." ”

Tan Jing asked again: "Who called you here?" ”

"Mrs. Sasaki is looking for someone who can speak Chinese in Kagoshima." Koreko replied, "Secretary Ono sent me here to deliver a letter to you. ”

Tan Jing nodded: "How can you speak Chinese?" ”

"My neighbor, Grandpa Song, is from the Qing Dynasty, he taught me a little bit, and he also gave me the name Zhizi." Zhizi showed a sad expression, "It's a pity that I haven't learned much more, and he died." ”

Tan Jing didn't know if what she said was true or not, but he had no intention of getting to the bottom of the problem. Whether they know these things or don't know, they won't help them get along in the future.

He got up from the couch, this apartment had only one bedroom, and the branch had to be left behind, so he could only sleep in the study.

"No, no, sir," Kodeako was still in Japanese, "I don't live here, I only come over every day to cook and clean for you, which was arranged by Secretary Ono." ”

Tan Jing frowned, not knowing what Ono Medai meant by this arrangement. He gave up the idea of arranging a place for the branch and returned to the living room: "Then you came here today, do you have any letter to give me?" ”

"Secretary Ono asked me to tell you," Zhizi lowered her voice and spoke very slowly, "This afternoon at Yuxian Academy, she caught someone. ”

Tan Jing's brain thumped, and he felt that the skin all over his body was tightened, and cold sweat seeped out from every pore. He disguised his sitting posture and tried his best to disguise his tone as if he was nonchalant: "Got it, she told me what this was for." ”

"I don't know," Branches shook her head, "she asked me to come to you today and tell you about it. ”

Tan Jing snorted and looked the branches up and down, "Then are you going to stay here tonight, or go back?" ”

"I ...... I'm going back," Zhizi panicked, not even daring to look into Tan Jing's eyes, "I'll ...... tomorrow I'll clean up the house for you tomorrow. ”

Tan Jing unbuttoned his neckline, as if he was a little impatient: "Then let's go." ”

The branch got up slowly, his eyes dodged, and the whole person was timid: "Sir...... You...... You...... You ......"

Tan Jing became impatient and frowned, "What? ”

His tone of voice was a little heavier, causing the branch to shrink like a frightened quail, and quickly lowered his head to avoid his gaze: "No, nothing, I'll go first, I'll come back tomorrow......"

As she spoke, she walked backwards towards the door, and before she could even put on her shoes, she ran for her life.

Tan Jing collapsed on the couch the moment she closed the door. He wanted to go to Boss Wang, but he wasn't sure if this news was deliberately released to him by Ono Meidai, so that he would panic and show his flaws, if so, then Zhizi or other people in the consulate must be staring at him secretly at this moment.

He suddenly jumped up from the couch and searched the entire apartment for a bugging device that could not be easily detected, but found nothing. In fact, what if you find it? If he took the searched bugs and questioned Maida Ono, then the final result would be that all the bugs were not hidden and were placed in his house openly.

Tan Jing sat down on the ground next to the desk, racking his brains about how to rescue his captured comrades. It was a battle-hardened old agent, otherwise he wouldn't have given him such a dangerous mission, and Tan Jing couldn't figure out why such an old and spicy figure could fall off the horse as soon as he came out, unless there was a trap waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Tan Jing suddenly jumped up from the ground, and he remembered his other identity, he was the head of the special high section of the police station under the consulate, and he had the right to ask about these things.

The office of the police station is not located in the consulate, but it is not far from the consulate. When Tan Jing arrived, Ono was coming out of the interrogation room, and the two met in the corridor, and before he could speak, he had already seen a drop of blood splashed on the placket of Ono's clothes.

"I've seen Naoko, Naoko Odakiri." He succinctly explained why he was here, and then asked, "What about people?" ”

"Dead." Ono Meidai didn't even give him a straight look, her expression was gloomy and her face was ugly, and after giving a reply to these two words, there was no other explanation, and she wanted to leave bypassing Tan Jing.

Tan Jingyi grabbed her arm and asked incredulously, "Dead?" ”

Midai Ono was forced to stop: "What, do you think he doesn't deserve to die?" ”

"You!" Tan Jing took a deep breath, "You didn't interrogate him and sentenced him to death directly?" ”

Midai Ono showed an incredulous expression: "You want me to interrogate him?" ”

Of course, Tan Jing didn't want Ono to interrogate him, because he wasn't sure if the man could resist the Japanese torture, but he didn't want to get the current result - if Ono Midai interrogated him, it would at least give Tan Jing a chance to find a way to rescue him.

"I've already interrogated," said Ono again without waiting for a reply, "he didn't say anything, he committed suicide." ”

No one has ever been able to commit suicide in a Japanese prison cell, because they have 10,000 ways to survive without dying, and they have never allowed a prisoner to die an easy death until a "useful person" has been completely tortured and abolished.

"Tan Jing, you're late." Midai Ono broke her arm out of Tan Jing's palm and said something inexplicable, "You are always like this, no matter when, you are always one step late." ”
