Inside the Shanghai Japanese Consulate, a young female staff member in civilian clothes said with a smile on her face: "You are here." These are the two occasions that need to be attended by Chief Mizuno today, so take them. ”

"Thank you, Kiko." Mitsuhide Fukada bowed slightly, took the notebook and glanced at it, and said, "Well, didn't you say that the celebration of the treasure of the east was canceled?" ”

Guizi looked at this handsome young man, still smiling from the bottom of his heart, and explained: "This is what Consul Arisaka meant, and Dongzhibao donated some funds to our diplomatic department and the Imperial Army fighting on the front line. Originally, Consul Arisaka planned to attend in person, but today there is an important itinerary, so I can only ask Chief Mizuno to attend on my behalf. ”

Fukada Mitsuhide nodded and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you, I'll go and inform Chief Mizuno." ”

Mitsuhide Fukada turned and walked towards the office of the vice consul of the consulate, but his heart was by no means as calm as he seemed. Because he felt that he might be suspected, in the past, the itinerary of the officials inside the consulate would be notified to the secretary's office four days in advance, but since the two presidents of the chamber of commerce were shot and killed, the itinerary was changed to be issued in the morning of the same day.

This is not something to change at random, maybe it is already suspicious inside? In the past few days that Mitsuhide Fukada has observed, he has not been able to make accurate judgments. This is mainly because there is another possibility, that is, the normal increase in the security level, after all, this happened, the Chinese agents acted again, so the security level of all officials was raised, which is also normal.

But in Mitsuhide's mind, the latter is more likely than the former. After all, he is a secret son who broke into the consulate, and as long as there is a little trouble, he has to think about the worst, so that his safety probability will increase.

In addition, he was also heroic that night, and when the two traitors walked out of the door of the nightclub, they were polite to Mizuno. And Mizuno needed to win over these two people, so he insisted on letting the two traitors go out first, but this made Mizuno escape by mistake.

When he saw that the two traitors were shot, he did not hesitate to pull Mizuno, who was also going out, because Mizuno also reacted at that time, and his body had already had an omen, and he should be going to the side and rear, dodging the wall inside the gate.

If Mizuno had made this move at that time, the probability of him being killed was actually very small, after all, Mizuno's body had not yet gone out. The attention of the gunman outside was attracted by the two traitors, and the possibility of killing Mizuno was further reduced. The one who pulls him by himself will be beneficial, so as not to expose himself, and it will also make Mizuno feel that he owes himself a favor.

After rethinking the situation of that night in a lightning flash, Mitsuhide Fukada had already come to Mizuno's office, he reached out and knocked on the door, and after hearing a voice from inside: "Please come in", Mitsuhide Fukada stretched out his hand and opened the door and walked in.

Just looking at the vice consul of the consulate, Mizuno Daisho was looking at a document very seriously. Mitsuhide Fukada walked a few steps to the other party's desk, bowed quickly, and said, "Sir, these are the two occasions you need to attend today, among which the East Treasure Club at noon was personally issued by the Consul General and designated you to attend on his behalf. ”

Mizuno Daxiang waved his hand, motioned for the other party to sit down, then took the other party's itinerary and glanced at it, and said, "Dongzhibao is in the jewelry business, right?" ”

Fukada Mitsuhide said: "Yes, in the past six months, Dongzhibao's stall has been very large, saying that it wants to fully occupy the Chinese market, and their funds are relatively sufficient, with at least three to five branches in Beiping, Harbin, Fengtian, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other big cities. Then he paused, and then said, "I heard Miss Guizi say that Dongzhibao donated a sum of money to us, part of which was for the Imperial Army, and the other part was for us. The Consul General takes this matter very seriously, otherwise he would not have asked you to attend on his behalf. ”

Mizuno Daisho said, "Well, the president of the East Treasure is also coming?" ”

Mitsuhide Fukada nodded and said, "It should be, it's written on the itinerary." ”

Mizuno Daisho pondered for a moment, and said with a slight palpitation: "Fukada-kun, I haven't been able to get out of the last incident yet, but on such an important occasion, I naturally want to attend." Oh! That's right. That day, it was really thanks to you that you pulled me, otherwise what would have been the consequences, it was really unimaginable. ”

Fukada Mitsuhide bowed slightly and said, "The chief is polite, that's my responsibility." Mainly relied on Captain Osawa's timely reaction, decisive shooting, and immediately repelled the gunman. ”

Mizuno Daisho smiled: "You're welcome, oh, by the way, there may be some personnel changes recently." Fukada-kun, you are so capable, I want to talk to the Consul General and transfer you from the secretary's office to serve as my assistant, would you like to? ”

After hearing this, Fukada Mitsuhide immediately flashed a grateful look on his face for less than half a second, and then bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you for the promotion, I am very willing to follow the chief and strive to share the worries of the chief." ”

Mizuno Daisho said with satisfaction: "Hey, you have this ability, don't thank me." Oh, by the way, Fukada-kun, you go and tell Osawa and them now, I'll attend the banquet of the East Treasure Club at noon, or let a few of them follow. ”

"Hi One!" Mitsuhide Fukada said, "I'll go now." Sir, I'll remind you again an hour before the time is up. ”

"Hmm." Mizuno Daisho also bowed slightly and said, "I'm in trouble with Fukada-kun." ”

"Please don't be polite, sir." Mitsuhide Fukada said, got up and walked out of the door. I went back to my office.

What was Mizuno's attitude towards himself just now? Mitsuhide Fukada took advantage of the fact that there was no one in his office and thought about it carefully. In the end, he summed up several possibilities: first, the other party didn't doubt himself, after all, he did pull him that day. Second, he doubts himself, so he may want to tie himself to his side, so that it is easier to see himself up close. Third, he doubted himself, but not as deeply as he doubted.

In the end, Mitsuhide Fukada carefully considered these three possibilities, and then combined with some of Mizuno Daisho's actions in the past few days, he found that the third possibility should be the highest. Skepticism, but not so deep. It may really have something to do with the fact that I pulled him that day. In addition, Mizuno Daisho has been very low-key and vigilant in the past two days......
