Not long after lunch, the phone rang again.

Fan Yanqiao stared at the telephone next to him for a long time, only to see that the person was quite persistent. It rang for a long time, and he didn't hang up.

Fan Yanqiao raised his head and glanced at Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan understood, and reached out to pick up the phone.

As soon as Xiaohuan picked it up and didn't speak, he heard the person over there say softly in broken Chinese: "I'm Michiko, the wife of Koichi Nakamura of the Japanese Consulate, and I called this morning. ”

Xiaohuan listened and hurriedly said, "Hello Mrs. Nakamura, do you have anything to do?" ”

Michiko's voice was still gentle: "Miss Fan is there?" I wanted to visit her in the afternoon. Don't know if she's available? ”

Xiaohuan glanced down at Fan Yanqiao, Fan Yanqiao nodded lightly, and Xiaohuan said to Michiko on the other end of the phone: "Miss is here, I just ate and rested, otherwise my wife will let me go up and report it?" ”

When Michiko heard this, she hurriedly said, "Thank you then." ”

Xiaohuan held the phone and nodded: "Okay, I'll call you back later." ”

There was a promise, and Xiaohuan hung up the phone.

Fan Yanqiao lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Xiaohuan, "You come with me." ”

Xiaohuan saw the solemn expression on her face, and hurriedly followed her upstairs.

When he arrived in the bedroom, Fan Yanqiao turned his head to Xiaohuan and said, "Go and close the door." ”

Xiaohuan hurriedly reached out and closed the bedroom door.

Fan Yanqiao walked around to the side of the dresser, reached out and pushed the dresser forward. The dresser was made of yellow rosewood. Naturally, it was heavier than the average one, so she only moved a little bit under a push.

Xiaohuan didn't know what she meant, but she still walked over quickly to help her push.

Fan Yanqiao waved his hand at her and said softly, "No need to push." That's enough for the cracks......"

As she spoke, she reached for the back of the dresser, touched something wrapped in a newspaper that was attached there, and tore it off.

When Xiaohuan was wondering what it was, he saw Fan Yanqiao take a pair of gold scissors from the dresser and slowly cut the tape.

A pale yellow jade plaque was revealed.

This jade brand Fan Yanqiao took it with him when he went to Japan, and later hid it in its place when he came back.

Fan Yanqiao lowered his head and pulled out the jade card, and glanced at it expressionlessly. Then he handed it to Xiaohuan and said in his mouth: "This is a jade plaque for withdrawing money, you can take it to the central bank, or go to Citibank, you can take out that money with just it, if I don't come back tonight, you will immediately take Elaine out of Mukden early tomorrow morning......"

When Xiaohuan heard this, her face changed color, she looked at Fan Yanqiao with a white face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Miss!" You're ......."

Fan Yanqiao glanced at her, stuffed the jade card into her hand, and said in a low voice: "Michiko must be looking for me for Kazama's affairs, Kazama's death they have suspected me, Michiko called again and again today to ask me out, must be to lure me out and ask Kazama's cause of death......"

When Xiaohuan heard this, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she grabbed Fan Yanqiao's hand and choked and asked, "Miss!" Then you don't want to go! If you are really asked by them about something, they will definitely not let you go, then Kazama is so important to the Japanese army, the Japanese are ruthless, but they don't recognize people, don't say that Dashao and they are allies, but when it comes to this kind of thing, Dashao just wants to protect you, I'm afraid it won't be able to protect you completely, is it difficult for Dashao to really be able to turn the face for you and Japan? Miss...... You must think twice about this...... If you don't go to her appointment, she will not dare to come to the marshal's mansion and drag you out, but once you leave the marshal's mansion...... Miss...... It's really bad luck for you to go......"

Fan Yanqiao smiled lightly: "How bad is it? I wish I had more luck than I could......"

She took a deep breath, looked at Xiaohuan and said word by word: "I'm gambling with them with my life this time, betting that I don't matter in Xue Shao's heart, Xiaohuan, to tell you the truth, I don't plan to come back alive this time......"

"Miss!" Xiaohuan's tears fell out at once.

Fan Yanqiao shook his head: "Listen to me, if Xue Shao really has me in his heart, only if I die at the hands of Nakamura, he may fall out with Japan, as long as he falls out with Japan, then Qin Overseer will have a chance to take advantage of this opportunity to propose an alliance......"

Fan Yanqiao looked down at Xiaohuan and said softly: "Qin Overseer has already said that in front of me, besides, he has the world in mind, I really have respect for him in my heart, what he said is very right, only if he and Xue Shao are allied, can the Japanese be driven out of China, the only difference between him and Xue Shao is that Xue Shao is too conceited, he can use all means to develop and consolidate his power, but he can't think about the people a little more......"

When she said this, she sighed softly: "Actually, I know what he thinks, he seems to be friendly with the Japanese on the surface, but in fact he is just using them to deal with Qin Yucheng, and then turn around to clean up the Japanese after eliminating Qin Yucheng in one fell swoop, but he thinks Qin Yucheng is too weak, so although his power has expanded a lot over the years, he has never been able to ...... Qin Yucheng."

"Miss...... Since you know Da Shao's thoughts, you can completely break this sentence with Da Shao...... Miss, don't you go...... The Japanese don't have a good thing...... Miss...... Listen to me......"

Fan Yanqiao stared down at Xiaohuan for a long time, and said softly, "Do you think he will listen to me?" He is self-conceited, and he will not listen to a woman in government affairs, Xiaohuan, although he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but I ...... with him"

When she said this, there was a slight pain in her chest, she paused and continued: "Me and him, after all, have come to this point, as he said, he has only used his sincerity to me over the years, and I believe what he said...... So, I'll use his sincerity to gamble on me, if he really has me in his heart, once something happens to me, he will definitely refuse to let go of Nakamura and them, if they can really turn their backs on me, I will die, what is there to regret? ”

Xiaohuan looked at Fan Yanqiao and was about to speak, Fan Yanqiao reached out and gently covered her mouth, one hand reached behind her back and hugged her tightly, her head was pressed against her neck and whispered: "Don't persuade me, you should know in your heart that everything I say is the truth...... Xiaohuan, I don't ask you for anything else, I just ask you to help me take care of Elaine growing up......"

When she said this, her voice gradually choked up, she closed her eyes and whispered: "My parents died at the hands of Xue Shao, but I and Xue Shao are like this, I am already his person, and although he has treated me indifferently over the years, but in the end he has my heart in his heart, since I knew the truth about my parents' killing, every day with him has been tormented physically and mentally, so, death is just a relief for me, I feel more uncomfortable to live than death...... Xiaohuan, you have followed me since I entered the mansion, you know what kind of life I lived, and now that I am finally free, you should be happy for me......"

After she finished speaking, Xiaohuan's tears had already fallen, she reached out and hugged Fan Yanqiao hard, crying and said, "Miss, don't worry...... I will definitely do what you tell me to do, and I will definitely treat Elaine as if she were my own daughter......"

Fan Yanqiao took a deep breath on her shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "That's good, then I can close my eyes if I die......"

She easily opened the small ring, lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, this is my choice, if after I die, Xue Shao can really ally with Qin Yucheng, then it will be worth my death......"

Xiaohuan looked at her with teary eyes: "But...... However, if Da Shao still doesn't ally with the Qin Overseers, wouldn't Miss be ...... Isn't it ......?"

Before she could say the next words, Fan Yanqiao looked at her and laughed softly.

She lowered her head and took a handkerchief to wipe her face, and said softly: "I said, living is a torment for me, my parents are dead, Kazama is also dead, and ...... And my and Xue Shao's children are gone......"

When she said this, her voice trembled suddenly, she clenched her fists hard, gritted her teeth and said: "That child thought she had the foresight to know that she would not be welcome in this world, so she left me early, Xiaohuan, you say, so many important people have died, what is the point of my life?" Even if the alliance doesn't work out, then I'm relieved......"

She had already said this, Xiaohuan didn't say more, she held Fan Yanqiao's hand, choked up and said: "Miss, don't worry, I remember everything you said, if it comes to that moment, I will do everything you tell me......"

Fan Yanqiao nodded and said softly, "Then I'll rest assured......"

In the bedroom, she told Xiaohuan how to use the jade card in detail, and then went downstairs.

When they just walked to the flower hall, they saw Uncle Fu walking out quickly, and when they saw Fan Yanqiao, they hurriedly said, "Miss, the Japanese consulate called, and Mrs. Nakamura asked if you got up?" ”

Fan Yanqiao nodded and said lightly: "I know, I'll call her back......"

As she spoke, she walked into the flower hall, then slowly sat down on the sofa and lowered her head to hold the telephone receiver and pull out the number.

As soon as the phone was connected, Michiko's gentle voice came from there, Fan Yanqiao reached out and hooked the phone line, and said softly, "Is it Michiko?" I'm Fan Yanqiao......"

As soon as Michiko heard Fan Yanqiao's voice, she hurriedly said, "Miss Fan, are you awake?" ”

Fan Yanqiao smiled: "I'm sorry, I have a habit of taking a nap after eating, so I kept you waiting for a long time......"

Michiko: "No, Miss Fan is right, I shouldn't have called you at this time......"

She paused for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Miss Fan is so stuffy in the mansion?" Why don't we go out for a walk together in the afternoon? You say, okay? ”

Fan Yanqiao looked at the ink chrysanthemum inserted in the crystal vase next to the telephone, was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "It's okay, I also want to go out for a walk......

Michiko thought for a while: "Otherwise, Miss Fan will wait a little at home, I will come over in ten minutes, you don't have to take the driver, just take my car, the two of us are closer in a car, and it is convenient to talk......"

After Michiko said this, she quietly waited for Fan Yanqiao with a breath.

Fan Yanqiao's face suddenly turned pale, and her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

She gritted her teeth and said softly, "It's okay, then I'll wait for you in the mansion......"

Michiko smiled: "Okay, I'll go to the Marshal's Mansion......"

Fan Yanqiao hung up the phone, looked at Xiaohuan with a pale face, his eyes swayed, and he laughed at the corners of his mouth.

"Wait a minute......," she paused, "wait a minute, Michiko herself will come and pick me up...... You remember what I said......"

Xiaohuan looked at her with the same pale face, and nodded silently: "I remember ......"

Fan Yanqiao slowly stood up and said softly, "Help me change my clothes, it's not appropriate to let her wait for a long time......

She said as she slowly lifted her feet upstairs.

Xiaohuan was silently helping her change her clothes, when she heard footsteps in the corridor, and after a while, Baoyun knocked on the door and walked in, and said respectfully to Fan Yanqiao: "Miss, Mrs. Nakamura is here, and she is waiting for you in the flower hall......"

Fan Yanqiao glanced up at her and nodded lightly: "Got it...... Go down......"

She looked into the mirror as she spoke, she stared at the still very young face in the mirror and smiled, looked down at Xiaohuan and said, "Okay, I'm leaving......"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaohuan's face instantly turned pale.

Fan Yanqiao turned around and walked out, and said in a low voice: "You are here, you don't have to watch me go out......"

Xiaohuan stood in front of the dressing mirror, and tears fell all at once.

Fan Yanqiao slowly went downstairs with her skirt, and Michiko, who was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, heard the sound of someone coming downstairs, and hurriedly came out to take a look, and when she saw that it was really Fan Yanqiao, she smiled early: "Miss Fan, am I coming a little fast?" ”

Fan Yanqiao smiled: "It's not that you came quickly, it's that the consulate is too close to the Marshal's Mansion......"

Michiko's face stiffened when she heard the three words of the consulate, she coughed lightly, and said with an extremely uncomfortable expression on her face: "Yes...... It's very close......"

Fan Yan pretended not to see the change in the expression on her face, lowered her head and pulled her coat away, and said softly, "Then let's go......"

After the two of them got into the consulate's car, they had just turned the road in front of the Marshal's Mansion, but Michiko reached out and patted her forehead, and said with an embarrassed face: "Miss Fan, look at my memory, I forgot to take my wallet......"

As she spoke, she said to herself, "What else can I buy when I don't have money to go out......"

She turned her head to look at Fan Yanqiao, but saw that she was also looking at her intently, her expression was obviously with a look of understanding, her face was panicked, but her heart was inexplicably nervous. Shimabu throws brother.

Her eyes dodged for a moment, and she said in a panic: "Miss Fan, if this is the case, let the driver turn around and go back to the consulate first, and I will go back to get my wallet, and then we will go shopping, okay?" ”

Fan Yanqiao stared at her for a moment of silence, then slowly turned her gaze out of the window, and said softly: "Mrs. Nakamura can do whatever she says, anyway, if she comes out to relax, it won't be bad for a ......moment."

Michiko listened, the expression on her face became solemn, and she whispered to the driver, "Let's go back to the consulate first......"

The driver listened, then turned the car around and went in the opposite direction.

When she arrived at the door of the consulate, Michiko looked at the door of the consulate, turned her head to Fan Yanqiao and said, "Miss Fan, why don't you go over and sit down for a while?" Haven't you been to the consulate yet? Shall I show you around? ”

Fan Yanqiao smiled slightly, stared at her and said lightly: "It's okay ......."

She said as she followed Michiko out of the car.

Michiko walked into the courtyard of the consulate side by side with her, her voice softly introduced the various precious plants in the garden one by one, and Fan Yanqiao also pretended to listen carefully to her words with interest, but there was an unfamiliar air flow between the two of them.

The more Michiko continued, the more difficult her voice became, Fan Yanqiao twisted her head and looked at her for a moment, Michiko finally couldn't say any more, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Her footsteps stopped suddenly, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Fan Yanqiao.

The corners of Fan Yanqiao's mouth gradually hooked up a smile, and she asked softly, "What's the matter, Michiko?" Why didn't you say it? ”

Michiko's face became panicked, she turned her head to look around, and said in a hurried voice, "Miss Fan, you should leave now!" You go back to the Marshal's Mansion right away......"

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Fan Yanqiao, tugged at her sleeve and pulled her out, but said in a low voice, "Miss Fan, you go quickly...... Go out and call a rickshaw immediately and go back to the Marshal's Mansion as soon as possible......"

Fan Yanqiao's heart trembled, she grabbed her arm and asked softly, "Michiko, what's wrong with you?" What are you doing with me? Don't you want to go out shopping? ”

Michiko's eyes instantly became anxious, she pulled Fan Yanqiao hard, and said with a panicked face: "Miss Fan, let's go shopping again when we have time, I suddenly feel uncomfortable...... Miss Fan, listen to me and go back to the Marshal's Mansion immediately......"

Fan Yanqiao listened to her words, but she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, she gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand to drag Michiko, and whispered: "Michiko, don't be ...... like this"

As soon as Michiko heard her words, her eyes suddenly turned red: "Miss Fan, please listen to me this time, I'm for your good...... I...... Something to say...... I can't tell you...... Miss Fan...... Please...... You're a good guy...... You go quickly...... You ......"

Before her words fell, she suddenly heard a low and hoarse male voice behind her: "What are you doing here?" Why did Miss Fan come once and you picked up someone's house? How can you treat guests like this? ”

As soon as Michiko heard this, her face suddenly became panicked, she suddenly let go of Fan Yanqiao's hand, stood aside honestly, lowered her head and said, "I ......"

Nakamura glanced down at Michiko and smiled at Fan Yanqiao: "Uchiko is not sensible, Miss Fan, let you see ...... smile"

Fan Yanqiao was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "It's okay, Mr. Nakamura, it's too serious for you to say this......

Nakamura smiled, reached out and grabbed Michiko's arm and said softly: "Miss Fan finally came here, if I hadn't come out to meet her, she would have been driven away by you......"

Michiko lowered her head and whispered, "I was thinking of inviting her another day." ”

Nakamura smiled: "It's such a coincidence today, since it's already here, why don't Miss Fan go and sit inside...... We often go to the Marshal's Mansion to talk about it, so today we might as well let our husband and wife do their best to the friendship of the landlords......"

Fan Yanqiao glanced down at Michiko and said lightly, "It's okay ......."

Nakamura smiled and stretched out his hand: "Miss Fan, please ...... inside."

Fan Yanqiao was silent for a moment, then raised his heel and walked in behind him.

As soon as he entered the corridor, he was greeted by a corpse covered in a white cloth in the middle of the corridor.

As soon as Fan Yanqiao saw the cuffs of the sweater that the corpse peeked out from under the white cloth, his whole face suddenly turned pale.

Her body shook, and she reached out and grabbed the wall.

Seeing this, Nakamura's face suddenly became gloomy, but he said, "Miss Fan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Fan Yanqiao gritted his teeth, his eyes stared at the corpse, but the whole person was silent.

Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red.

Nakamura looked at her thoughtfully, and said to Michiko in a low voice, "Go upstairs!" ”

Michiko's face hesitated, and Nakamura's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Go upstairs!" ”

Michiko shuddered and obediently walked through the corpse and went upstairs.

Nakamura looked at Fan Yanqiao and said lightly, "Miss Fan, do you know who he is?" ”

Fan Yanqiao closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

Nakamura looked at her and frowned, and was about to speak, when he heard heavy footsteps next door, he turned his head to look, only to see Tsuchihara and Fujii walking out of the conference room next to him with a solemn face.

Nakamura hurriedly lowered his head and shouted, "General, Dazuo." ”

Kenji Dohihara nodded, glanced at Fan Yanqiao, and said in a low voice, "Miss Fan, it's been a long time......

Fan Yanqiao's eyes slid over Fujii's face, then stared at Kenji Dohihara's face, clenched his fists hard, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Tohihara, long time no see......"

Tu Feiyuan slowly walked in front of Fan Yanqiao and said thoughtfully, "Miss Fan, I remember that you studied under Fujii, right?" ”

Fan Yanqiao was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Kenji Dohihara continued: "Then you must know this person too?" ”

As he spoke, he bent down and lifted the white cloth covering Toru Kazama's body, and said, "Toru Kazama, you must know ......."

Fan Yanqiao closed his eyes abruptly the moment he lifted the white cloth.

Kenji Dohihara frowned: "Miss Fan, Kazama's body was found in the movie theater, I got the exact news, you also went to the movie theater today, right?" ”

Fan Yanqiao gritted his teeth, opened his eyes and looked at him, and said word by word: "Yes, I have been to the cinema......"
