The Philippines has entered a dry season.
It’s summer in the Philippines in March.
Originally, Filipinos at this time were supposed to spend their summer vacation leisurely and comfortably, but with the arrival of the Japanese, things became completely different.
Under this brutal and high-pressure rule, every Filipino is living in fear.
No one knows whether his life will belong to him in the next minute.
The Japanese began a frantic labor capture phase across the Philippines.
This has resulted in the fact that in several major cities in the Philippines, the proportion of women and children far exceeds that of men.
Almost all the strong laborers were captured.
In Sumalaga, the situation is even worse.
While ensuring frontline labor, the smooth completion of the tunnel project must also be ensured.
Even stronger women have become laborers.
Meng Shaoyuan held a fan and fanned it "whooshing".
hot.
"Your Excellency Taniguchi, we are here."
Two military policemen brought Takasago Makoto over.
"Takasago-kun, please sit down." Meng Shaoyuan didn't even look at him: "It's so hot. You're in the military police. Are you okay?"
"Very good." Takasago Makoto sat down next to him expressionlessly: "Except for the three meaningless interrogations every day, there is nothing that worries me anymore."
"They didn't do anything excessive, like torture you?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with concern: "In any case, you are a member of the Mountain Lily Society. If they go too far, I will lodge a serious protest."
Takasago Makoto sneered.
You hypocritical wolf.
If it weren't for you, would I be in this situation now?
Li Zhifeng brought a bucket.
It was filled with well water and brewed with beer.
Li Zhifeng opened two bottles and placed them in front of the two people.
"Drink some, it's the best thing to cool down and quench your thirst." Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of beer.
Takasago Makoto was not polite and took a sip as well: "What do you want to know? Tell me, Mr. Taniguchi."
"We are all colleagues, and I don't want to see you end up in this situation." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Although you refuse to admit that you have anything to do with stealing gold, you think your secret can always be kept keep?
They won't do anything to you in Sumalaga, but I can be sure that you will be transferred back to the country. Are you prepared to maintain this attitude when facing His Excellency the Prince? "
Takasago Makoto continued to sneer.
"You always think you are smart, but you still fail in the end." Although every word Meng Shaoyuan said was calm and even sounded like persuasion, in fact, every word was hurting Takasago Makoto's self-esteem. :
"Everything you have carefully planned cannot be hidden from me at all. Do you feel frustrated? I can understand your mood, really.
You are like a lost traveler who suddenly encounters a bad wolf. You run as hard as you can and are about to escape. Suddenly, another cliff appears in front of you. Are you desperate, Lord Takasago? "
Takasago Makoto's hands trembled slightly.
Meng Shaoyuan spoke unhurriedly and in a gentle tone, but every word struck a chord in his heart.
Everything he was proud of was quietly crumbling.
However, Meng Shaoyuan was not ready to let him go just like this: "What you are most proud of is not your wisdom, but the engineering skills passed down from your family.
Your father, I admire him very much. He helped the Philippines build the first cemetery in the history of this country. His name will be remembered forever. And you? what have you done?
】
You built a tunnel, but what does that mean? Soon, with a bang, the tunnel will be blown up. Is this your masterpiece? A pile of ruins? Is this the result of your hard work? Don't you think it's ridiculous? "
Takasago Makoto's body shook even more violently.
The Takasago family has been engaged in engineering and construction for generations, and each generation will produce an outstanding talent.
Especially in his father's generation, the name of the Takasago family has been engraved in the history of a country.
The reputation of the Takasago family reached its peak because of Takasago Kijiro.
And now, in Takasago Makoto's generation, only a pile of upcoming ruins is his masterpiece?
This huge insult has deeply hurt Takasago Makoto!
"I am working for the empire." Takasago Makoto shouted hoarsely: "Even if it turns into ruins, it is for the empire!"
"You are not worthy!" Meng Shaoyuan said this calmly: "You may not admit it, but we all know that you stole the gold, and the truth will be revealed sooner or later.
You have brought shame to the Takasago family, and you have also brought shame to the empire! You are not an engineer, you are just a thief, a pickpocket! "
Li Zhifeng was always listening.
He was always vigilant, guarding against any drastic actions by the angry Takasago Makoto.
He just felt weird.
What happened to the boss today? Why are you trying so hard to stimulate Takasago Makoto?
Is there any benefit to this?
At this time, Takasago Makoto has reached the edge of explosion.
He was holding the beer in his hand tremblingly. What he wanted to do most was to give the hateful guy in front of him a bottle.
But he finally restrained himself from this terrible thought.
He raised his beer and drank half of it in one breath before barely controlling his emotions.
However, a new round of blows came to Meng Shaoyuan: "I have always been curious, what method can you use to transport the gold you stole? In fact, you only have one stupid method.
You will temporarily hide the gold in a place you think is safe, and then wait for the tunnel to detonate before looking for an opportunity to transport it out. Maybe it's Thailand, maybe it's a nearby country. In short, it's much more convenient and safer than shipping it directly to the country. "
Takasago Makoto suddenly sneered.
Meng Shaoyuan immediately knew that his judgment was wrong.
Although he was curious about Takasago Makoto's transportation method, it was no longer important now.
"Does the beer taste good? Do you need another bottle?" Meng Shaoyuan showed a smile on his face: "Drink a few more bottles, and you will return to your hot and humid confinement room in a while.
A dignified engineer was actually imprisoned like those prisoners. Your father in heaven must also feel sad for having a son like you, right? "
"Shut up!"
Finally, Takasago Makoto couldn't bear it anymore and smashed the beer bottle with all his strength: "You can doubt me and insult me, but you can't insult the Takasago family!"
"Calm down, Lord Takasago." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Go back and think about it carefully. Soon, you will find that I am right."
"Boss, what exactly are you going to do?" Li Zhifeng asked curiously as he watched Takasha Cheng leave.
"It's nothing, let's chat with him." Meng Shao said with a smile: "Maybe there is something wrong with the way I chat, but Takasago Makoto is too easily excited. This habit is really bad!"
