Aoki Mansion.
Kawashima Naniwa and Uchida Yasuya also had no expectations for the development of things.
What makes them even more distressed is that both "Ta Kung Pao" and "Shen Shen" reported this matter.
"Japanese ronin chased and killed the emperor's master in the streets! The reason was actually to catch wind and shadow!"
Then he also put in relevant evidence and the confessions of Russian diplomats.
Shame on Dafa!
Kawashima Naniwa couldn't explain much to his Ronin men. They were still asking whether their senior died because of Li Yu's tip.
Now that the Russian letter has been confirmed to be fake, Kawashima Naniwa has no choice but to explain that the investigation is still pending.
The wanderers were unhappy, but they didn't think about admitting their mistake to Li Yu.
The most unjust person was Xiao Zuo Xiang. It was obvious that such a perfect plan, from the investigation order to the expected follow-up interrogation at the patrol hall, should have been under his control. Now it turns out that the success fell short because something went wrong with the Kawashima Naniwa faction.
Can you not be angry?
If it had been another two years, it might not have failed like this, because there would have been formal patrols by then, but the newly established patrol office at this time still used the officers and soldiers of the former infantry commander's office, that is, the nine admirals.
Kawashima Naniwa knew that he had messed up the matter, and said to Xiao Zuoxiang: "I don't blame you this time, but we still have a chance."
Little Zuo Xiang was dejected. He knew what it meant to scare off the enemy. It would be difficult to succeed in the future. Maybe it would take Senior Sister Konoe to use a beauty trick to do it.
But his fists were clenched, as if he didn't want things to come to that point.
I was able to do it myself, but now I was fooled by my boss and ruined the big thing. The mute eats Coptis chinensis and can't tell the story of his suffering.
He walked out of the Aoki Mansion and walked hesitantly for a while. When he came to Beicheng, he saw Xiao Wang running towards him.
"Sir, can you get me some happiness potion?"
Little Zuo Xiang is very angry now: "If things go wrong, what more medicine do you need? Get out of here!"
Xiao Wang looked aggrieved: "But, I did everything you asked."
Xiao Zuoxiang knows the secrets of espionage very well. After a plan fails, there is absolutely no reason to use it again. In his opinion, Xiao Wang has no use value.
Moreover, the Japanese themselves feel that addicts cannot be relied on for a long time, and it is okay to use it for a short period of time.
Over time, addicts will no longer recognize their relatives and have no control at all.
Xiao Wang knelt down and kowtowed to him anxiously: "Without medicine, I will die!"
Little Zuo Xiang kicked him away in disgust: "It's none of my business whether you live or die!"
After that, he walked away.
After Xiao Wang returned to the mansion, his eyes were empty.
He has stopped taking medicine today. Although he doesn't know why his cough is better, he still can't help but want to take medicine, but he knows the consequences of not having medicine.
When he went to bed at night, Xiao Wang's withdrawal reaction finally broke out. He scratched his ears and cheeks frantically, and grabbed the ground with his head.
Uncle Wang, who lived in the same room, was frightened and tried to hold him down, but he couldn't hold him down at all.
Xiao Wang then smashed wildly, seemingly unable to see anyone in his eyes, and soon alerted others.
Zhao Qian and Fengling were the first to rush over. Seeing the scene in front of them, they asked, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with your son?"
Uncle Wang was confused: "I don't know either!"
Zhao Qian wanted to go up and talk to Xiao Wang, but as soon as he approached, he was punched two or three times in a row, which made him confused: "Boy, are you crazy? I am Uncle Zhao!"
Uncle Wang sighed: "He even beat me."
Zhao Qian was a little angry: "Rebel him!"
At this time, Li Yu also wrapped up his clothes and came to the door of the yard, and asked inside: "What happened? There is so much noise in the middle of the night."
Zhao Qian said: "Sir, Xiao Wang has lost his mind and gone crazy for some reason."
Li Yu walked in and saw Xiao Wang's appearance, and was shocked, was he really this kid?
Uncle Wang knew that Li Yu had great supernatural powers, so he stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with my baby? I've never seen him behave like this."
At this time, Xiao Wang was heard shouting in pain: "Give me medicine, give me medicine!"
Li Yu asked: "Is he sick?"
Uncle Wang said: "I had a cough a few years ago, but it's gone now."
"cough!"
Li Yu was completely convinced now, because "Heroin" is used as a cough medicine for children.
Li Yu solemnly asked: "Xiao Wang, I can think of a way, but let me ask you, have you ever approached the Japanese?"
As soon as Li Yu asked this question, everyone present was stunned.
Xiao Wang crawled to Li Yu's feet: "Master, I looked for the Japanese, and I secretly placed the letter. I'm sorry for you! Please give me some medicine, I'm going to die from discomfort!"
Uncle Wang's forehead exploded in an instant and he kicked him on the head: "You bastard! Master has been so kind to us, but you actually want to harm me! I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful villain!"
Xiao Wang ignored Uncle Wang's kicks and clung to Li Yu's trousers: "Master, give me the medicine. I've already said everything. It's really uncomfortable!"
Xiao Wang scratched his face until it was covered with blood, and he looked very scary in the middle of the night.
Li Yu closed his eyes, feeling like a knife was twisting in his heart.
Zhao Qian and Fengling were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Uncle Wang suddenly picked up the scissors on the table and said, "I'll kill you, you beast!"
Li Yu quickly grabbed his hand and took the scissors: "Uncle Wang, what are you doing!"
Uncle Wang suddenly knelt in front of Li Yu and said painfully: "Sir, please kill me too. I really have no face to face you!"
Uncle Wang burst into tears.
Xiao Wang on the side was still crying and asking Li Yu to give him medicine.
Li Yu said to Zhao Qian: "Find a hemp rope and tie him up first."
After Li Yu spoke, Zhao Qian dared to act and quickly found a rope. Xiao Wang screamed at the top of his lungs for more than an hour. He had no strength left and was tied up tightly.
After a while, when he calmed down, Li Yucai squatted in front of Xiao Wang and continued to ask: "Where did you meet the Japanese?"
Xiao Wang said feebly: "Here, in Beicheng."
"What's the other person's name?"
Xiao Wang shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that he said that he was a doctor in Japan and had an overseas recipe for treating coughs."
"Where's the medicine?"
Xiao Wang looked at his pillow. Fengling immediately went over to rummage and took out several medicine bottles from underneath.
It is indeed a "heroin" medicine.
Fengling asked: "It's really foreign language, what is this?"
Li Yu said: "The king of drugs that is countless times more powerful than tobacco."
When he heard that it was heavy smoke, Uncle Wang became even more furious and almost smoked it, but Zhao Qian quickly pressed the button again.
Uncle Wang cried and said, "It's over, you're done!"
Li Yu continued to ask Xiao Wang: "What else do you know?"
Xiao Wang said: "The doctor took me to a place, but he was blindfolded in a carriage. When I entered, it was so gloomy that I didn't see anything."
Li Yu thought: "So, you have only met one Japanese person whose name you don't even know? What does he look like?"
Xiao Wang said: "He was wearing sunglasses and a big hat. He couldn't see clearly, but his voice should be audible."
Li Yu sighed. This kid was really too young in front of professional espionage personnel, and his voice was probably imitated by him.
The most important thing is that even if he can identify it, no one will believe an addict's words.
Li Yu stood up: "I know everything."
Zhao Qian asked: "Sir, how will Xiao Wang be arranged...?"
Uncle Wang said: "What are you going to do? Just kill them! I, I don't want to live anymore."
Li Yu knew that Xiao Wang was his only son, and sighed and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and he is just a pawn. Let him get over his drug addiction first."
Uncle Wang burst into tears: "Thank you, Master, for not killing me."
Li Yu said to Zhao Qian: "In the past few days, let him be alone in a room and tied tightly to the bed. His mouth should be stuffed with a piece of cloth to prevent him from biting his tongue. Just feed him some rice porridge when he eats."
Zhao Qian asked: "Can I quit?"
Li Yu said: "I just hope the drug addiction is not serious, otherwise... well, it all depends on his own destiny."
——
Once the Japanese are found, there is really no way to push them away.
As early as the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, the Qing government declared "partial neutrality" and now it dared not mess with the Japanese casually.
Li Yu had already expected it, so he was not in a hurry.
On February 2, he went to a foreign store to buy some glasses and foreign wine, and asked Fengling to buy a lot of cooked food, and cooked a large table of dishes, and everyone sat down to eat together.
Li Yu said to everyone: "I have escaped from death this time. It can be said that I survived a catastrophe. I will be blessed later. I have said that bad things are not necessarily bad things, so we should celebrate. I specially bought French red wine and tasted it with everyone. Drink. For red wine, you must use a glass.”
Everyone filled their glasses with wine, and Li Yu took the lead in drinking.
Then he continued: "But this incident taught me some lessons, so I bought the latest American-made fireproof safe from a foreign company, specially used to store letters."
There will be more letters in the future, and Li Yu will indeed do this.
In this era, letters are almost the most important method of communication, and many secret events break out from letters.
For example... Marie Curie, who had just won this year's Nobel Prize and was very popular in Europe, was troubled for many years by a few letters a few years later.
At that time, Pierre Curie had passed away, and rumors suddenly spread about Madame Curie's affair with her student Lang Zhiwan.
Langevin was a student of Pierre Curie, which meant that Madame Curie was his mistress.
Moreover, Lang Zhiwan is already married and has children, and for some reason there are rumors about him and Madame Curie.
It didn't spread too widely, but Langevin was really careless and let his wife sneak into the office and steal several letters written by Madame Curie to him.
This can kill you.
In 1911, the first Solvay Conference was held in Brussels, and Marie Curie and Langevin attended the conference together.
Mrs. Langevin was furious and went to the newspaper office with the letter.
For a time, there was an uproar in the city of Paris. The love story of Marie Curie and Professor Langevin was reported on the front page of "Daily News".
The reporter added fuel to the fire and portrayed Mrs. Langevin in the article as a weak, pitiful person who had lost her husband and even her child. She had no choice but to resort to public opinion for help. In contrast, Madame Curie was portrayed as an "old shrew" (harridan, this word is used to comment on Madame Curie who has already won the Nobel Prize, it is quite strong) who robbed other people's husbands and destroyed other people's families.
Afterwards, Marie Curie wrote a stern statement, accusing the publishing house of prying into her private life for no reason, saying that she was not ashamed of what she had done, and that she wanted the publishing house to compensate for it.
The newspaper eventually retracted the report, and the writer apologized to Marie Curie.
However, the incident has greatly affected the image of Madame Curie.
Because Madame Curie had already become famous through the Nobel Prize in 1903.
When Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry again for her discovery of radium in 1911, French domestic newspapers barely mentioned the Chemistry Prize when reporting on this year's Nobel Prize. This is a huge difference from 1903, when Marie Curie first won the award.
As the first scientist in history to win the Nobel Prize twice and an outstanding female scientist, this period should have been the most glorious moment in Marie Curie's life.
But because of this incident, she was not only criticized by the public, but also ostracized by her peers.
You know, in France at this time, it was common for men to have extramarital affairs, and they were even proud of it, but it was not allowed for women, especially a foreign woman.
After the Swedish Nobel Prize Committee learned of this incident, it threatened to deny Mrs. Curie the opportunity to be nominated for the Nobel Prize if it had known this, and even asked her not to come to Stockholm to receive the award.
Marie Curie fought hard and claimed that the Nobel Prize had nothing to do with her private life, and then she kept her second medal.
Anyway, the story between Marie Curie and Langevin ended there.
But many years later, their grandchildren, Madame Curie's granddaughter and Langevin's grandson, actually became partners, which finally brought an end to this feud.
Later generations rarely know this story, but in fact, at that time, Mrs. Curie's situation was quite sad.
It’s all because the confidentiality measures are not in place!
Near the end of dinner, Li Yu said casually, intentionally or unintentionally: "I just made some important discoveries on radio recently, and I will send the materials to the United States in two days."
If you drop the bait, the other party will definitely bite it, and only those who are willing will take the bait.
Because once the safe arrives, the letters will definitely be difficult to access; and Li Yu knows how keen the Japanese are on radio now, and they will definitely not be able to bear it.
When Konoe Akiyuki heard the news, he was already eager to go to the Aoki Mansion to report the situation.
Li Yu happened to say something else: "I will go to the hospital for a review tomorrow, I won't be at home."
Konoe Aki felt that something was a little strange, but there were too many strange things in the past few days, so it was better to ask Naniwa Kawashima and Yasuya Uchida before deciding on the next move.
After all, radio technology is related to the war situation. The Japanese are too crazy about the war now and are trying every means to win the war.
Especially now, the war is in its early stages, the situation is not clear at all, and the real bloody battle has not yet begun. To be honest, the Japanese are not very sure that they can defeat the Russians.
So they hope to tilt the balance of war toward their side at all costs.
Wireless technology is undoubtedly a key weight.
In Japan, the most "noble" navy has purchased Marconi's radio equipment, but now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Yu's equipment is better, how can we not be greedy?
Even the "Army Red Deer" that the Japanese navy looked down upon have now tasted the benefits of wartime wireless communications, and the pressure has been put on Uchida Yasuya and Kawashima Naniwa in the capital.
