Chapter 224 A crescent moon

The curtain of night slowly pulls up, and a crescent moon hangs quietly in the night sky.

No matter how you look at this crescent moon, it looks like a shiny sickle.

At this time, a car drove into the door of the Eagle Bureau. Liu Qixiong got off the car and looked up at the upstairs. He found that the lights were on in the room of the head of the agency, Morikawa, and hurried into the building. In the lobby inside the building, he met Kawamoto Nakasa and two strangers chatting, and asked, "Is General Morikawa here?"

Kawamoto nodded.

Liu Qixiong said "yes", lowered his head and strode up the stairs upstairs.

Yuan Shu waited for Liu Qixiong to go upstairs and asked casually: "Who is this? It doesn't look like you are from the Eagle Organization?"

Kawamoto made a "shhh" gesture and said softly: "Liu Qixiong, the former commander of the 260th Brigade of the 71st Army of the National Army..." As he said this, Kawamoto lowered his voice even more and more, "He who just surrendered is now appointed as the commander of the Nanjing Guard."

"Oh, so that's it!" Yuan Shu suddenly realized, "No wonder I see him being extraordinary."

Liu Qixiong took three or two steps to Morikawa's office and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Morikawa opened the door and saw that the person coming was Liu Qixiong, and immediately said surprise: "It turned out to be General Liu. Come in quickly. I will introduce my friend to you, Mr. Iwai Hideichi Iwai from the Shanghai Consulate."

Liu Qixiong Yu Guang had noticed Iwai and hurriedly said, "It turns out that General Morikawa has a guest, so I'm disturbing him!"

"It's okay, General Liu is out of here!" Iwai is also a Chinese expert and replied in skillful Chinese.

"This is the current commander of the Nanjing Guards..." Before Morikawa finished speaking, Iwai snatched the words: "General Liu Qixiong, lucky to know!" As he said that, he stood up and looked at Liu Qixiong with a smile.

"Do you know me?" Liu Qixiong looked puzzled.

"It's not just about knowing..." Seeing the doubts on Liu Qixiong's face becoming more and more exaggerated, Iwai twisted: "It's a long story. I remember that your wife, Ms. Jiang, was the one I arranged for someone to escort to Nanjing!"

Morikawa slapped his head, "Look at me, I forgot about this!"

Liu Qixiong also understood everything and tried his best to hide the ten thousand grass mud horses in his heart. His smile was obviously not very natural: "It seems that I owe Iwai Kun a favor!"

"How do you say this?" Iwai looked angry: "Where does General Liu start with this? It seems that the general is blaming me?"

"Sir, don't get me wrong!" Liu Qixiong's mind was very quick, "I heard from my wife later that it was that escort that caused you to lose several capable subordinates!"

One sentence evoked Iwai's sad memories, and he sighed infinitely: "I have been resentful of the death of Yamaguchi Jun, and I still can't accept such a reality until now!"

Morikawa walked to the window, looked up at the moon, pulled up the curtains, turned to Iwai and said, "Don't be sad anymore, we already have a look in that case."

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

Morikawa raised his hand and looked at the time again, hurriedly pulled Iwai out, and said, "It's not too early, we should go for dinner, and then we will eat and chat!" As he said that, he did not forget to remind Liu Qixiong: "Lu Jun goes together, I will invite you to a full vegetarian banquet at Lu Liuju!"

The group went downstairs in a mighty manner. It happened that Guya led a team to return from Yuexi Road to investigate the case. Guya was about to report, Morikawa waved his hand and said, "Master Guya will get in a car with me, let's talk about it on the way!"

Six or seven people got on two cars and rushed towards the Green Willow House on Taiping Road.

Kawamoto took Yuan Shu and Ueno into the first car, Morikawa, Iwai, Guya and Liu Qixiong got into the second car. As soon as the car started, Guya reported: "General, I have visited Yuexi Road. Sure enough, there is a secret room. As Lei Yuan said, everyone inside has been transferred, but I carefully inspected the secret room and found this..." As he said that, Guya took out something from his bag and handed it to Morikawa.

Morikawa took advantage of the dim street lights and looked at it carefully. It was a diode.

"You mean, is this a radio accessory?"

"Yes, all signs indicate that this secret room was once a hidden radio station in Chongqing. I also found some telegram papers, but the damage was very serious and it was not easy to distinguish."

“Discover something of value?”

"Yes, one of the telegrams was not completely burned down, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry to retreat. On the draft, I saw a code name that matched, or maybe someone."

"explain!"

"Hornet!"

"Haha, the wasp that stung whenever you see someone."

The ancient house did not follow Morikawa's idea, "I think Mr. Lei did not hide it from us, at least he did not deliberately conceal it. He seemed to be sincere."

Iwai, who was leaning against the other side of the car door, couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Who is this Mr. Lei Yuan?"

He suddenly felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"In Chongqing, we are now locked in Tiger Bridge Prison, but he seems to have the intention to surrender to us..." Morikawa remembered that there was some inevitable connection between Mr. Lei and the former martial officer Yamaguchi of the Shanghai Consulate, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​calling him to ask Iwai to interrogate the truth.

"I'll arrive at Mizuru later..." Morikawa said to the Ancient House thoughtfully: "Call the Warden Takeui and ask him to send someone to send Mr. Lei to Mizuru as quickly as possible. Mr. Iwai wants to ask him."

"What does this have to do with me?" Iwai was puzzled.

"He has clues about Yamaguchi Jun's murder. Iwai Jun isn't interested?"

"Oh, really?"

You said and said, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the car was already driving on Taiping North Road.

The ancient house's eyes wandered around and suddenly stopped on the sign of a shop in front of him.

In a shop that specializes in funeral supplies, a lantern was hung in front of the door, and a big word on the lantern could be vaguely seen.

"think".

This strange store name suddenly evoked some memories of the ancient house, and she hurriedly reminded Morikawa.

"General, look at that coffin shop."

Morikawa followed the ancient house, but found no abnormality.

“Is there anything special about it?”

Liu Qixiong, who was in the front passenger seat, also saw the shop and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say, "I remember, I was in front of a teahouse on Tiger Bridge Road a day ago..."

Morikawa's memory suddenly became clear: "Are you talking about the young man who saved people? He seemed to have said that he was a coffin shop, so it was here!"

The car is about to pass quickly, and the Hanya asks Morikawa for his opinion without hesitation: "General, why don't we come down and take a look?"

"Okay! Stop!" Morikawa ordered.

The car made a harsh brake sound, and the body shook violently, and it stopped reluctantly in the middle of the road.

Several sideboard motorcycles from the front and rear guards stopped quickly. All the Japanese soldiers looked around vigilantly.

"Arrival?" Iwai Masaru closed his eyes and rested. He drove from Shanghai for hundreds of kilometers early this morning. He was already exhausted. After only a while, he fell asleep. The violent vibration of the car body woke him up. He thought he had arrived at the destination, so he quickly pulled his clothes and prepared to get off the car.

"It's not here yet, but it's almost there." Morikawa continued to explain, "We want to come down to see this shop..."

Iwai looked closely and found it was a coffin shop. His eyebrows were twisted into a knot and said disgustingly: "What's the good looking coffin shop in a coffin shop? You Eagle Agency wants to buy coffins?"

"No..." Kunya denies it. Just as he was about to push the door, Liu Qixiong turned around and woke Morikawa up with one sentence.

"General, we Chinese all think it's an unlucky thing to see the coffin shop, and it's too late to hide!"

"Liu Jun reminded me that I will not watch it anymore. Iwai Jun must be hungry. Take the time to have a meal!"

The ancient house quickly retracted his hand.

"That's it." Iwai leaned on the back of the chair again and closed his eyes slightly.

...

Zhang Erhe, the owner of Green Willow House, heard that Morikawa from the Eagle's agency was about to come, and as usual, stood outside the store and waited for the welcome.

As soon as Morikawa arrived, Boss Zhang immediately brought everyone into the largest private room on the second floor. The ancient house put down his luggage and followed Boss Zhang downstairs. As he walked, he asked: "Where is Boss Zhang's phone number? I need to use the phone number."

In less than a minute, the ancient house was in contact, so they went upstairs and entered the private room. Everyone had already started to sip tea and brag. When Morikawa saw the ancient house coming in, he asked, "Have you informed that Mr. Lei?"

"Wu Nai agreed to arrange for someone to come by car and promised to bring the person there in half an hour."

This sentence entered Iwai's ears and asked with great interest: "Does this Mr. Lei really know the details of Yamaguchi's assassination?"

"Mr. Lei was rushing back to Nanjing from Shanghai on the day of Yamaguchi's assassination."

"Such a coincidence?" Iwai put the teacup in his hand on the table, "Did he have any explanation?"

"In his confession, he said that Yamaguchi's murder is most likely caused by the Communist Party in Shanghai."

“The evidence is conclusive?”

"It's not entirely true, it's just some of his speculations, I think it's not unreasonable."

"How could he appear in Shanghai?" Iwai must break the casserole and ask to the end.

"It's a long story. Mr. Lei went to Shanghai to complete a task assigned by the Communist Party. He is from Chongqing. Are you ridiculous? Iwai Jun, don't blame me for not reminding you. It seems that the Kuomintang and Communist Party of China are already in a mess!"

"I have made a judgment on this. At the beginning of last year, I also reminded the young and strong officers to consider such factors, but they took it as a warning to them."

"Yes, the radicals of the Empire always underestimated the risks of war and almost ignored the consequences when doing things!"

Iwai sighed: "If you don't mention these, why do you tell me what Mr. Lei went to Shanghai to do? I'm very interested in knowing."

"This person has a girlfriend, who is a sender from the Nanjing Communist Party. You said that the Communist Party is not funny, and you really do everything you can. In order to achieve your goal, she actually asked her to come forward and convince her boyfriend to complete a joint task for them..."

"What specific task?" Iwai asked again.

This sentence also evoked Morikawa's infinitely sad memories. He remembered the Emperor's accountability telegram and sighed: "It's not the cultural plunder and leak that caused a lot of not long ago. The initiator was Mr. Lei. I did not plug the loophole, and I, Morikawa, cannot refuse to blame!"

Iwai comforted me: "Myamakawa-kun doesn't have to worry too much. I have forgotten about this matter for a long time. Has your current achievements already surpassed those mistakes? For example, General Liu's surrender, who else can compete with you except you, Moyamakawa-kun?"

"I hope so!" Morikawa smiled friendlyly at Liu Qixiong.

Liu Qixiong had an awkward expression and didn't know how to say it.

"Besides, you are not catching the initiator now? By the way, Morikawa Kun knows the details so well, is that female Communist Party also captured by you?" Iwai asked further while comforting.

"Yes, I've caught it!" The young man was unwilling to be lonely and rushed to answer for Morikawa, and added, "Not only did I have caught it, we are also preparing to punish her at this week's award ceremony!"

"Is that true?" Iwai widened his eyes, "Is this person worth digging?"

"No..." Morikawa said helplessly, "That woman is too stubborn!"

"The punishment doesn't work? She's just a woman!" Iwai didn't believe it.
