After arriving in Nanjing, Shinoko probably still hadn't woken up from the sadness and fear, so he stayed in the hotel without going out.
It wasn't until the next morning that she mustered up the courage to take to the streets of Nanjing.
The sky is gloomy. There is a smell in the air that makes people feel sick.
This was her first time in Nanjing and she didn’t know the way around at all. To avoid being accidentally injured by Japanese soldiers, she held a small Japanese flag in her hand.
She didn't know where to go, so she just walked numbly on the street.
She saw many facts that she didn't want to believe even if they were told to her in the past.
She now no longer believes the nonsense spread in Japanese newspapers that China took the lead in provoking the war and Japan was forced to fight back. Even if they occupied Shanghai and Nanjing, the Imperial Japanese Army would not commit any crimes. .
fraud!
You are all liars!
These people are innocent, why should they be treated like this?
"Ma Naiko?"
A voice full of doubts sounded.
When Makoto saw it, he was startled at first, and then looked surprised: "Ogino-kun?"
Daisuke Ogino, a former Japanese expatriate.
When his grandfather brought him to Shanghai, Ogino Daisuke lived next door to their family. He respected his grandfather very much and treated himself as a younger sister.
Later, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Ogino Daisuke, like Manaiko's grandfather, joined the Japanese Expatriate Volunteer Corps, and there was no news about him after that.
For a time, Shinoko thought he had died in battle.
But I never expected that I would meet him in Nanjing.
"It's really Makoto." Ogino Daisuke was surprised and happy. He asked his two companions to look around. He came to Makoto himself and said with a smile: "I thought I was deceived. .Shen Naiko, it’s been a long time since I last saw you.”
"Yeah, it's really been a long time since I last saw you." It's always nice to meet a friend from the past here.
"I heard that grandpa..." Ogino Daisuke was worried about causing Makoto's sadness. He felt it was inappropriate as soon as he said it, so he quickly changed the subject: "How did you come to Nanjing?"
"I'm here to do some interviews." Speaking of interviews, Makoto remembered the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing, which made her feel sick: "What about you? Ogino-kun, weren't you always in Shanghai before? Why did you come to Nanjing? ?”
"When I was in the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Corps, I was injured, but it wasn't serious." Daisuke Ogino immediately replied: "Later, a special agency of the consulate recruited people there and found me who had recovered from the injury. They thought that my performance in the war was outstanding. They were very brave and let me join their organization. After the occupation of Nanjing, our embassy was short of manpower, so I was transferred here."
Makoto suddenly thought of something, and his face changed slightly: "Ogino-kun... you... are you here to kill these poor Chinese too?"
She was worried that Daisuke Ogino would do something worse than a beast.
"No, no." Ogino Daisuke hurriedly explained: "I'm not a soldier, I'm... Listen, Makoto, I'm an intelligence agent. I shouldn't have told others about it, but who told you to be Where is Makoto? We received a secret order from Shanghai this time. Meng Shaoyuan, a senior Chinese agent, has arrived in Nanjing, and we are ordered to arrest him!"
"Meng Shaoyuan?" Zhen Naiko thought for a moment: "I seem to have heard this name from my father. What kind of person is he? Why do so many people seem to be afraid of him?"
"I don't know how to describe him to you." Daisuke Ogino really didn't know what to say: "Maybe even your father, Colonel Matsumoto, can't say it accurately... Ah, I didn't know it until later. I know, your father turned out to be Colonel Matsumoto... But yesterday, we learned that Meng Shaoyuan and a young woman left in Shanghai on a military train..."
Makoto's expression suddenly changed: "Yesterday?"
"Yes, yesterday." Ogino Daisuke's answer was very certain: "We don't know how he managed to sneak into our military ranks. Our captain took us to Nanjing Railway Station and was ordered to arrest him, but he waited until everyone All the people have disappeared, and we haven’t found any trace of him. This man is so cunning, we have no idea how he disappeared.”
"Is it possible that your information is wrong?"
"Impossible." Daisuke Ogino said flatly: "That was discovered by one of Meng Shaoyuan's men."
Then, there is only one possibility. Shinoko described such a scene in his mind... He took a woman on the military column, and then entered the officer's compartment... He was drunk and changed his clothes... …He swaggered off the train with a group of Japanese officers…
Makoto is naive, but not stupid.
So, when I saw "Rukawa Kaede" for the first time, the news about the Japanese Expatriate Volunteer Team was leaked... The poor president Urakawa Tatsuhiko thought it was his responsibility...
Therefore, when he met "Rukawa Kaede" for the second time, he used himself to publish a piece of news, successfully allowing the target to be captured to escape, but he was taken away for secret interrogation...
Therefore, this time, he deliberately brought himself to Nanjing, because his father and his identity could provide him with the greatest cover...
Makoto's heart was broken at this moment... The man she liked turned out to be a Chinese agent who used her...
"What's wrong, Makoto?" Daisuke Ogino noticed something was wrong with Makoto's mood.
"Ah, it's nothing, maybe it's too cold..." Shinoko told her first lie today.
"Yes, winter in Nanjing is really cold." Daisuke Ogino felt the same way: "By the way, when did you come to Nanjing?"
For some unknown reason, Shinoko replied smoothly: "I've been here for a few days."
This is the second lie that Makoto told today.
"Come alone?"
"Yes, I came alone." Shinoko told the third lie of the day.
Many people have had this experience. They could tell the truth, but for various reasons, they just told a lie.
Then, you have to make up the second and third lies to make up the first lie... After that, you fall into endless troubles...
Makoto is not stupid, but he is really naive...
"It's too dangerous for a girl to come to Nanjing alone." Ogino Daisuke never thought that Makoto would lie to him: "If possible, go back as soon as possible."
"Thank you." Makoto smiled reluctantly: "It's really dangerous to be alone. Ogino-kun, do you have a gun?"
"Gun?" Ogino Daisuke was startled.
"I think I need a gun to protect myself." Makoto became firmer: "Please lend me a gun, don't worry, I will ask my father to return it to you when I return to Shanghai. "
Ogino Daisuke hesitated for a while, but still took out his gun and handed it to Makoto: "This is also very dangerous, this is not a toy."
"I know this is not a toy." Makoto put the gun in his bag: "I also know the purpose of the gun... Ogino-kun, you are very busy. I also want to go back to the hotel. It's really cold outside. …”
Yes, it's really cold outside...
…
Meng Shaoyuan got eight rolls of film.
Crucial film.
What we have to consider now is how to take these eight rolls of film out.
Nothing can go wrong.
Otherwise, you will become a sinner.
How is Makoto doing?
When he came to Nanjing, he threw her into the hotel.
I came back very late yesterday and went out early this morning.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time and saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
He hid the film and knocked on Manaiko's door: "Manaiko, are you resting? I am Rukawa Kaede."
"Rukawa-kun."
The door opened, and Shinoko welcomed "Rukawa Kaede" with a smile.
"Have you eaten?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with concern.
"Eat." Shinoko was still smiling: "I ate a lot at lunch. It turned out that I had no appetite at all, but I found that if I don't eat, I can't do anything."
After speaking, she pointed to the box beside the bed: "Rukawa-kun, there, I prepared a gift for you."
Gift?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "You're so polite. What kind of gift are you preparing for me?"
"Go and have a look, Rukawa-kun, I don't know if you like it or not."
"Hey, thank you, Makoto."
Meng Shaoyuan opened the suitcase excitedly, but except for daily necessities and some women's clothes, there was nothing else inside.
"Ma Naiko, what did you give me?"
Meng Shaoyuan was full of doubts. When he turned around, the smile froze on his face.
Makoto held a gun in his hand, and the black muzzle was pointed at himself.
"Manako, what are you doing?"
"Are you asking me what I do?"
Makoto no longer smiled, and what appeared on his face was the anger and pain of being deceived: "You actually asked me what I was doing? Who are you? Tell me, who are you?"
"Me? I'm Rukawa Kaede." Meng Shaoyuan looked innocent.
Makoto smiled again, but this time he smiled sarcastically: "Really, you are Rukawa Kaede? The Rukawa Kaede who once fought alongside grandpa? Or should I call you Meng Shaoyuan?"
If you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts!
Meng Shaoyuan never expected that he kept changing his identity and wandered among the Japanese without any trouble. But today, a little girl discovered his true identity.
"Meng Shaoyuan, right? I didn't call you wrong, did I?" There was infinite hatred in Zhen Naiko's tone, and her hand holding the gun trembled slightly: "You have been deceiving me and using me, haven't you? Until now, you are still unwilling to admit your identity? Do you still think you are Rukawa Kaede? Or do you think I am a fool? "
"I surrender, I confess." Meng Shaoyuan was not afraid at all, and even raised his hands in a decent manner: "Yes, I am that great Meng Shaoyuan!"
