When Xie Xuan returned home at night, he found a car parked at the door and two people standing outside the car, including a woman wearing a cheongsam.
Secretly alert, he took out his gun and turned on the safety.
Xie Xuan is also ranked among the traitor agents in Shenpu. The military commander has assassinated him, and the underground party also wants to take action against him. Various anti-Japanese organizations in Shenpu have probably listed him as an assassination target, so they have to be careful. .
"Is this Mr. Xie?"
As soon as Xie Xuan got out of the car, the woman came over. She sounded about forty years old.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Lou Liping. I heard that Mr. Xie has great powers, so I came here to ask for help."
"Go in and talk. Your driver, don't come in."
After entering the house and turning on the light, Xie Xuan saw clearly the woman named Lou Liping.
He has a dignified appearance and is dressed in jewels. Although he is in his forties, he has a flat belly and a well-maintained figure.
Xie Xuan asked: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Xie, this is just a small thing, please accept it."
Lou Liping put a gift on the table, wrapped in paper and containing four things.
Xie Xuan shook his head: "I can't sleep and eat well because I received the salary for no merit, so I asked Mrs. Lou to take it back."
Xie Xuan is a very principled person. He easily refuses to accept other people's things. If he accepts things, he has to do things for others.
Lou Liping put his hands by his side, bent down, and saluted Xie Xuan: "My husband, Bao Lifeng, was arrested a few days ago by the people in the patrol room with Japanese soldiers, saying that he was an enemy. Now the store is closed. The warehouse has also been sealed, and our family can only live in the house. We are in fear all day long. We are really desperate and listened to people's advice, so we came to trouble Mr. Xie."
Xie Xuan asked noncommittally: "What does your husband do?"
"We mainly sell various dyes."
"Dye is a military material. If it is sold to non-security areas, it will of course be used by the enemy."
"Others come to buy it, and we just sell it. Who knows where it will be sold? If someone buys a knife and kills someone, is the knife seller also responsible?"
"You can't say that. When someone comes to buy dye, you have to review it. If something goes wrong, of course you have to take responsibility. Don't think that you are in the concession and that it is a place outside the law."
Lou Liping said: "Please help Mr. Xie. As long as you can rescue my husband, I will thank you very much."
Xie Xuan said calmly: "Let me go to find out the information first and see where he is being held. If he is really an enemy, he will be sentenced."
"Thank you sir for your help. Please accept this kindness first. It's just a small thing."
Xie Xuan understood that this gift was not a snack, there must be something else inside it.
After Lou Liping left, Xie Xuan opened the gift. There were three boxes of snacks inside, but the other box was empty with two gold bars inside.
"Madam, is it done?"
After Lou Liping came out, the driver immediately came up to him and asked.
"I've collected the stuff, but I don't know if it will be done yet. Let's wait for his call. These people will still do things as long as they give them money."
Xie Xuan had been looking for the Soviet man named "Ivanov" during this period. He found the patrol room from the Secret Service. The Soviets had detained several people, but none of them were named Ivanov.
Just as he was about to go to the gendarmerie to search, Lou Liping came to the door, giving him an excuse.
Naturally, Onojiro should not be disturbed by things like looking for someone.
Xie Xuan had been ordered by Ono Jiro to release people at the Military Police Detention Center several times before. He had already established a good relationship with Ichiro Aoki at the detention center.
Ichiro Aoki came back from the front line. His leg was injured and he walked with a slight limp. He was originally going to be demobilized. However, the military doctor judged that he could still participate in the war, so he was left in Shenpu.
For this reason, Ichiro Aoki was particularly angry. He missed his hometown, his wife and children at home, and he was filled with resentment because he could not return home.
Xie Xuan handed over a cigarette and said with a smile in Japanese: "Aoki-kun, how are you doing lately? How are your relatives in China?"
Ichiro Aoki cannot speak Chinese, so apart from a few translators in the Secret Service Department who can communicate with him, only Xie Xuan and a few others who can speak Japanese can deal with him.
Xie Xuan knew that he valued his relatives at home, and Ichiro Aoki would be filled with complaints whenever this topic was brought up.
"They don't even have enough to eat. I am bleeding here and they are suffering at home. What has happened to our country? The war ended in three months and it has been three years and it is not over yet."
Xie Xuan comforted him: "You can send some money back, we can't let our family suffer."
Ichiro Aoki sighed and said: "Domestic prices have skyrocketed, so I have sent all my allowance back."
Xie Xuan suggested: "Let's have a drink together tonight?"
Ichiro Aoki said hurriedly: "Okay, the food of the Military Police is not for human consumption. I just want to eat something good."
"Okay, after I finish my work, I'll go to the Japanese tavern last time."
"What do you want to do?"
Xie Xuan lowered his voice and said: "Same as last time, find a few people. This time it's not a serious business, and they have extra money. When the time comes, I will collect the money and leave a share for Mr. Aoki."
Ichiro Aoki asked: "Is it because you have such extra money that your life is so smooth?"
Xie Xuan said: "This kind of extra money can only be done occasionally. After all, real anti-Japanese elements cannot be let go."
Ichiro Aoki said: "As long as it doesn't violate the rules, there will be no problem."
Ichiro Aoki is the director of the detention center. He took Xie Xuan in without any obstruction.
"Who is Bao Lifeng?"
The Gendarmerie Detention Center is no better than the Secret Service. There are a lot of people detained here. There are more than 30 people in a small cell, and men and women are imprisoned together. In their eyes, there is no respect for women at all.
"I, I, I am Bao Lifeng."
A fat and haggard middle-aged man immediately raised his hand and said.
He was wearing a rumpled suit, his hair was messy, and his face was dirty.
Xie Xuan said: "Come out, let me ask you a few questions."
"Sir, can you take me with you? My name is Ouyang Jie, and I am friends with Bao Lifeng."
A man wearing a robe and small glasses rushed to the cell door, stretched out his hand and waved to Xie Xuan.
"Stop having random relationships."
Xie Xuan has seen many people like this. As long as he can get away from this ghost, he can say anything.
"One thousand dollars!"
When Ouyang Jie saw Xie Xuan was leaving, he immediately shouted.
Xie Xuan still ignored him and asked the military police to open the cell door and let Bao Lifeng out.
Ouyang Jie shouted: "US dollars!"
Xie Xuan finally stopped, turned around and asked, "Is your name Ouyang Jie?"
Those who can pay high prices must be wealthy, and they are unlikely to be real anti-Japanese resisters.
"Yes, yes, I, Ouyang Jie, make imported hardware machines."
Xie Xuan asked: "Why did you come in?"
Ouyang Jie said: "I was framed. Japanese businessmen wanted to steal my business. Only by bringing me in can Japanese machinery and equipment open up the market in Shenpu."
Xie Xuan shook his head: "Your matter is more difficult to handle, and one thousand US dollars is not enough."
Ouyang Jie secretly complained that this person's appetite could swallow a cow.
