It’s almost the end of August in Shanghai, and it’s still extremely hot at night.
Rich people turn on the fan and put a big basin filled with ice cubes underneath, making the room cool.
Then I took out the watermelon or plum juice that had been chilled for a long time from the refrigerator, and refused to leave the house that night.
Poor people also have their own poor people's ways of cooling off.
Some simply sleep outside, light mosquito coils at their feet, and fall asleep soundly with a fan.
Some wipe the mat with hot water. When the child sleeps on it, it is cold.
Or just take out the watermelon that has been soaked in the well water for a long time, and when you eat it, you will naturally feel the slightest chill.
But this kind of life has nothing to do with Hahara Koichi.
He didn't care whether the weather was sweltering or not, and he didn't care whether there was iced watermelon to eat today.
For him, only one thing is most important:
Work!
Unless he was asleep, work was all he had.
"Hahara-kun, Kong Jinhui brought you."
"Has anyone discovered it?"
"We have repeatedly confirmed that no one has discovered it."
"Okay, take him to the interrogation room, I'll be right back."
…
Kong Jinhui has never been a patriot, let alone firm.
As soon as he entered the Japanese interrogation room, he was so frightened that he wet his pants.
No matter what the Japanese asked him, he answered everything accurately.
Except for the unpleasant smell in the interrogation room, Hahara Mitsuichi was satisfied with everything else:
"Mr. Kong, what else is there, think about it carefully?"
"No more, really no more." Kong Jinhui said in a panic.
"Don't be anxious." Koichi Hahara said pleasantly: "Some details, such as the first time you met Meng Shaoyuan, what are the memories that impressed you?"
It was only at this time that Kong Jinhui realized that the person he saw in Juntong that day was actually Meng Shaoyuan.
He tried his best to remember: "Nothing special, very young...ah, by the way, I always like to eat bananas..."
What he said was completely consistent with the information he obtained. Koichi Hahara asked someone to walk up to Kong Jinhui with a photo:
"Look, is it this person?"
"Yes Yes."
Kong Jinhui looked at it for a while: "That's him."
"His current identity is Ouyang Rong?"
"That's right, Ouyang Rong." Kong Jinhui said with certainty, "I personally arranged for them to meet. During the chat, Ouyang Rong, no, Meng Shaoyuan also ate a banana. He seems to like eating bananas."
"Are you sure he is pretending to be Ouyang Rong now?"
"Taijun, I will guarantee it with my head." Kong Jinhui patted his chest and said, "I saw Meng Shaoyuan as soon as I arrived in Shanghai. It is impossible for me to admit my mistake."
"Okay, Mr. Kong, thank you for your hard work."
Hahara Koichi said with a smile: "You can rest here with us for the time being. We will let you go after tomorrow."
Kan Nagashima opened the door and walked in. Without even looking at Kong Jinhui, he walked directly to Koichi Hahara and whispered a few words to him.
"I know, I'll go right away."
…
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhongshan."
Koichi Hahara bowed deeply.
"Habara-dono, Nagashima-dono, this is my mission, there is nothing hard about it." As one of the "Nagashima Thirteen Guns", Nakayama Yukie said immediately:
"Since I received the task of lurking around Kong Yuxun, I have been careful to ensure that no one discovers the identity of me and my companions. Kong Yuxun will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow. I used the excuse to be one step ahead of him. I entered Shanghai. At that time, I avoided all places where I might be exposed, so I can guarantee that I don’t exist in Shanghai!”
"Your Excellency Ying Zuo, it is the greatest honor to have a subordinate like you."
Hikaru Hahara glanced at Hiroshi Nagashima.
Nagashima Kan knew it was time for him to take action, and he took out a suitcase: "According to your description, we customized a suitcase that is exactly the same as Kong Yuxun's luggage, but inside, we put the most advanced time bomb."
"Time bomb?"
"Yes, as long as you set the time, it will explode on time."
Hahara Koichi suddenly smiled bitterly.
Time bombs, to them, are advanced weapons.
They just managed to get it from the United States, and the quantity was very small.
But he was able to confirm that Meng Shaoyuan had used time bombs many times before.
In terms of technology alone, Japan has fallen behind Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan's success does not only rely on his mind.
However, Nakayama Xingjie became excited: "I understand. Tomorrow, I will exchange these two suitcases, then take them with me and put them in the most suitable place."
"Zhongshan-kun, that's what we mean." Nagashima Kuan hesitated for a moment, then said: "We know that Meng Shaoyuan is a very, very cunning person. If you put the suitcase next to him, he will definitely become suspicious..."
At this point he remained silent.
Nakayama Yukie was startled, and then he understood what he meant: "Sir Nagashima, what you mean is that one person must always carry this suitcase."
"Yes, that's what we mean." Nagashima Hiroshi said with difficulty: "This is the safest way, but there is absolutely no chance of survival for the person carrying this suitcase."
But Nakayama Yukie smiled: "How lucky I am to be able to assassinate Meng Shaoyuan, the devil of Shanghai, the public enemy of Japan, and the most powerful agent on the surface! That will be the honor of my life."
"Zhongshan Jun..."
"No need to say more." Nakayama Yukie interrupted them: "I will carry this suitcase, but I don't trust the timed detonation. Mr. Hahara, Mr. Nagashima, I have a request."
"Please say."
"Tie explosives to my body, make the fuse as short as possible, and it will explode as soon as I pull it! Only in this way, and with this suitcase, can we be foolproof!"
How tragic this is.
"We sent a total of two people to lurk beside Kong Yuxun, besides you, there is also Katayama-kun." Nagashima Hiroshi stared at him: "This mission, even if it succeeds, you and Katayama-kun... "
"A worthy death is for a strong man." Nakayama Yukie said with emotion: "Compared to the imperial warriors fighting on the battlefield, what do the lives of two mere agents matter? Please don't hesitate any longer."
"Then, I will help you arrange the explosives immediately." Han Yuanguang said heartily: "I made this plan, and I am sorry for you!"
"Habara-kun, why should you blame yourself? There is a saying in Shina, which says that no one who has ever died in life should leave a loyal heart to reflect in history!" Nakayama Yukie didn't care:
"But Kong Yuxun can't escape the disaster? He has many followers in Shandong and across the country."
"he?"
Koichi Hahara sneered: "The warriors of the empire can die, why can't he die?"
"I understand, Hahara-kun."
Nakayama Yukie laughed: "Then, let's get started."
Let's begin, the comprehensive counterattack against Meng Shaoyuan and the military commander has officially begun!
