Du Changshui bought braised vegetables and wine and returned home happily.
He is the youngest in the family. His brothers and sisters are all in other places, so he is the only one who stays in Shanghai to serve his mother. The month after Du Changshui was born, his father told him to go into business and make a lot of money, but he never came back.
It was his mother who went through all the trouble to pull and beat their brothers and sisters.
Du Changshui has always been filial to his mother.
He is thirty-four this year and is not married yet. Firstly, he has to take care of his old mother. Secondly, it is not that easy to get married in the military, especially in such an emergency period.
Du Changshui didn't care either.
As long as the old mother is here for one day, her marriage will not matter.
Today is his mother's sixtieth birthday. Du Changshui specially asked for leave and came back to spend time with his mother.
As soon as he entered the door, Du Changshui raised his voice and shouted:
"Mom, Mom, I'm back."
"Changshui." Mother Du's voice came from the room: "You are back. Come in quickly. Your friend has been waiting for you for a long time."
friend?
Du Changshui was startled, he didn't invite any friends?
As soon as I entered, I saw two men and one woman. The woman was quite beautiful and quite young.
"Who are you?" Du Changshui asked doubtfully.
"Hello, Mr. Du, we are your friends." A man said: "Today is your mother's 60th birthday, so we came here to celebrate. It's not respectful."
Du Changshui saw many expensive gifts on the table.
He became even more strange: "No, I don't..."
"Mr. Du." The man interrupted him: "Your mother has been talking to us for a long time. I think she is also tired. Otherwise, why don't we talk somewhere else?"
"That's OK." Du Changshui was full of doubts: "Mom, I'm going out for a while and I'll be back in a while."
"Hey, go ahead, mom is waiting for you."
…
"Mr. Du. Let me introduce, this is Ms. Aisa Akagi, and this is Mr. Kenji Takagi. I am their translator."
Japanese?
Du Changshui's expression changed drastically.
"Don't worry, Mr. Du." Akagi Aisa said calmly: "If we wanted to hurt you, we wouldn't wait until now."
Du Changshui felt a little relieved.
But he was still wary: "Why did you come to me?"
"I'm here to make friends with you, Mr. Du." Aya Akagi said very calmly: "Please don't worry, I'm not from the Japanese secret service, I'm just a Japanese, an ordinary Japanese."
Aya Akagi said it very cleverly. She first clearly told the other party that she was not a Japanese spy, so she eliminated the antagonistic relationship between the Japanese secret service and the military.
Sure enough, Du Changshui's vigilance disappeared slightly.
But he still didn't understand that if the Japanese secret service found him, it would be excusable, but for ordinary Japanese? What is the purpose of looking for yourself?
Aya Akagi winked, and Kenji Takagi quickly took out a thick envelope: "Mr. Du, here is five thousand yen. It is another birthday gift for your mother. I hope it can show our sincerity in making friends. .”
Five thousand yen?
This is definitely a huge sum of money.
However, Du Changshui did not dare to accept it at all: "No, no reward for no merit. Tell the truth. What is the purpose of looking for me? I am very busy. If you have nothing to do, I will go back."
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Du." Akagi Aisha said slowly: "My husband, Chimu Chi, is dead. Please tell me, was it Meng Shaoyuan who killed him?"
"I don't know." Du Changshui said flatly: "I'm just a driver. I basically don't know anything about military command, so you don't have to waste your time."
"You may not know, but I firmly believe that he did it." Aya Akagi was not surprised at all: "So, I want to kill Meng Shaoyuan to avenge my husband."
Kill Director Meng?
This woman is crazy.
Du Changshui shook his head: "I don't know if you can kill Meng Shaoyuan, but it has nothing to do with me. Goodbye."
"Goodbye?" Akagi Aisha sneered: "Mr. Du, now that I have found you, do you think it is so easy to get away?"
Du Changshui was not afraid: "Do you want to kill me? Please do so. I have been prepared from the first day I entered the military command."
"You are so brave." Akagi Aisa said with sarcasm in her tone: "You can face death calmly, but where is your mother?"
"What do you want to do!" Du Changshui's expression changed drastically: "It won't harm my family, as long as you dare to touch my mother..."
"You are too naive, Mr. Du." Akagi Aisha smiled: "My husband is dead. In order to avenge him, I don't care about doing anything or killing anyone. Of course, I will not kill you immediately. Instead, your mother will kidnap her and torture her slowly. As we speak, your mother is no longer at home!"
"you!"
Du Changshui screamed miserably and ran towards home...
…
My mother is gone, my mother is really gone.
Du Changshui's face was pale, and his lips were trembling.
"I will not kill your mother immediately, but will kidnap her and torture her slowly."
These damn Japanese.
They will do so.
Akagi Aisa walked in slowly with her people: "Mr. Du, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Du Changshui wanted to fight them, but he didn't dare, really didn't dare.
Nothing can happen to my mother, nothing will happen to her.
"Mr. Du, we don't want you to be a traitor." Akagi Aisha said confidently: "I know that your military commander has his own family law, but you have not betrayed the military commander's interests. Moreover, I am not asking you to help me kill Meng Shaoyuan. I just I want to know some information that interests me, isn’t that nothing?”
"You...what do you want?" Du Changshui asked tremblingly.
"I would like to know some of Meng Shaoyuan's habits, especially what he usually does when he is alone?"
Du Changshui knew why she asked these questions. She... wanted to do something to Director Meng.
Can't say, must not say.
The family law of military commander...
Also, Director Meng was really kind to me. On his mother's birthday, he even asked Assistant Wu to give him a gift.
But what about the mother?
She worked hard to bring up her brothers and sisters, and finally she was able to enjoy the blessings...
No.
Aya Akagi is not a Japanese spy. Besides, she has not betrayed Director Meng or anything, she is just talking about Director Meng's living habits.
Yes, yes, this is definitely not a betrayal.
When people are desperate, it is easy to make up some lies to anesthetize themselves.
Du Changshui is like this: "Meng Shaoyuan doesn't have any special hobbies... However, if he is free, he always likes to go to the 'Lao Fu Ji' noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles alone..."
"morning?"
"Yes, morning."
"Is there a fixed time?"
"No."
"one person?"
"Yes, alone."
"you sure?"
"Sure."
"Very good, Mr. Du, we are really friends now."
Aya Akagi took five thousand yen from Kenji Takagi and put it into Du Changshui's hand: "Mr. Du, we will take good care of your mother. When our affairs are finished, I will definitely take care of you." The mother sent it back.”
Du Changshui trembled and trembled all over.
He sat down on the chair dejectedly.
However, at this time, he still had some questions in his mind. How did these Japanese know that he was Director Meng's driver?
…
"Meng."
Several stacks of Japanese yen were placed on the table, and Hawes had a bit of pride on his face: "This is the latest version of Japanese yen. It has reached a completely new level in terms of printing and verisimilitude. I believe that if you are not an expert, it will be difficult to tell whether this is a counterfeit banknote.
We accepted the counterfeiting expert’s words that banknotes that were too new would arouse others’ suspicion, so with his help, we started... to make them old, yes, to make them old. I have put a batch of banknotes on the market, and the response has been very good. A total of 1,800 yen have been used, and none of them have been exposed. "
Meng Shaoyuan took a stack of Japanese yen and read it.
Not bad, not bad, more perfect than the previous batch: "So, treat Xin Yichen well, he is a treasure."
The implication is that Xin Yichen will never be let go until the last bit of value is squeezed out of him.
Thinking about it again, even if Xin Yichen handed over all his knowledge to Hawes, would Meng Shaoyuan and Hawes let him go?
After all, he knew the secret of these counterfeit banknotes.
"Also, Meng, the military tickets you gave us last time."
Some time ago, Meng Shaoyuan asked someone to find a batch of military coupons issued by the Japanese during the Northeast period and gave them to Hawes for research.
The emergence of military tickets was also a means used by the Japanese to plunder the resources of the Northeast.
If they occupy Shanghai, they will definitely do the same thing.
It never hurts to prepare in advance.
"The production process of this kind of military notes is not complicated and is much lower than that of banknotes." Hawes took out a military note and said: "This kind of military notes can be issued in large quantities and does not require a reserve. From this point of view It can be seen that the Japanese are still very cunning. However, this also provides us with opportunities. In order to ensure the authenticity of the manufacturing of counterfeit Japanese yen banknotes, the manufacturing cost is higher. But military notes are different. We can easily Manufacturing in batches.”
"No." When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he said categorically: "I also know that military stamps are easy to produce, but there is a very important issue. Once the Japanese discover a large number of fake military stamps on the market, they can stop the circulation of military stamps at any time. . Then the large amount of military currency we produced will be wasted in our hands. What about the Japanese yen? We no longer have such worries."
Hawes nodded.
He was very glad that he came to China and that he met Meng Shaoyuan.
There is gold everywhere here.
There are many opportunities in war.
You will make a fortune here.
In particular, Meng Shaoyuan's special identity can also give him strong protection.
No one can touch themselves.
In this sense, have you become a part of the resistance war?
