Chapter 229 Fujiwara helps you fulfill your wish
For safety reasons, Xiang Chu tried his best to avoid contact with people who knew Fujiwara no Daisuke.
As a descendant of a top noble family, he didn't need to bother with menial tasks like Hase Ichiro.
He took Gan Rong and quickly came to his first-class cabin.
The Akita Maru is a luxury cruise ship that travels between Shanghai and Osaka, and the first-class cabins are private rooms.
Gan Rong closed the door and whispered, "Fujiwara-kun! Fortunately, there was that policeman on board just now. Can we have a deeper relationship with him?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The police are all looking at us with scrutiny, and Hase Ichiro already knew Fujiwara Daisuke, and given our identities, we must not have too much contact with him."
"understand!"
Gan Rong nodded heavily.
Xiang Chu instructed: "Nobi-kun! We both need to quickly improve our studies and get familiar with everything as soon as possible. We will also go to the library on the cruise ship to learn about the current Japanese society. Let's go!"
"Hello!"
Gan Rong accepted the order and played the role very well.
"Yoshi!"
Xiang Chu nodded approvingly.
When Gan Rong left with his suitcase, Xiang Chu immediately closed the cabin door, took out Fujiwara Nobita's notebook, and read it carefully from beginning to end...
Nanjing, a meeting room of the Political Department.
The Minister organized a meeting to investigate the attack on the "Fifth Column" at Purple Mountain.
In addition to the director and deputy director of the Political Department, the directors of the Confidential Department, the Party Affairs Department, and the Military Intelligence Department, as well as the heads of the Confidential Section of the Confidential Department, the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Party Affairs Department, and the Intelligence Section of the Military Intelligence Department were all participants.
Dainong also took it for granted that he brought Kang Ce, a suspected Japanese spy who should be put in solitary confinement.
Because Xiang Chu believed that Kang Ce was a Japanese spy, the canteen of the Military Intelligence Department became a place where everyone was in danger.
All departments followed the example of the operations department and either went out to eat at restaurants or went into the kitchen to cook and eat immediately.
The kitchen was formed into a situation where each department took turns cooking, and the canteen was very lively, but no poisoning incidents occurred.
Needless to say, everyone in the Military Intelligence Department targeted the new Intelligence Section Chief Kang Ce, with Deputy Intelligence Section Chief Xia Shengyuan being the most active promoter.
Dai Nong was really helpless and had to take Kang Ce with him wherever he went.
He announced to the public that he personally identified the Japanese spies and wanted to clear Kang Ce's name.
Xu En, executive director of the "Fifth Column", reported on the investigation of the attack on the secret base in Purple Mountain.
Finally, he made a summary speech: "Everyone! Based on the above circumstances, this attack should be carried out by the Red Party 'Phoenix' and at least three accomplices. Their careful planning, swift actions, cruel methods, quick retreat, and no trace of the attack are really incredible."
Everyone gasped, feeling that the "Phoenix" was more powerful than before and had even trained helpers.
The minister looked around and asked in a deep and powerful voice: "Everyone! Who among you knows who the 'Phoenix' is? Where is he hiding in Nanjing?"
After a long while, Mao Feng's subordinate Lei Gang raised his hand and said hesitantly:
"Minister! I think there is only one person in Nanjing who has this ability."
The minister shouted, "Speak quickly! Don't hesitate."
"Yes!"
Lei Gang hurriedly accepted the order, stood up, pointed at Dai Nong and said,
"Acting Director! I believe that the 'Phoenix' is Xiang Chu, the deputy director of the operations section of your department."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Dai Nong was pointed at and scolded by a section chief. He immediately got angry and stood up and shouted:
"Lei Gang! You were taught a lesson by Xiang Chu, so don't come here to vent your anger."
Mao Feng naturally wanted to help his confidant, and said loudly:
"Acting Director! Our Chief Lei is right. We all went to the scene today and saw that two patrol members were killed by the Willow Leaf Flying Knife. I heard that everyone in Xiang Chu's elite special forces team can use the Willow Leaf Flying Knife."
This is unreasonable. It's a stunt that everyone can do, but he has to attribute it to Xiang Chu alone.
Dai Nong couldn't help laughing and said, "Director Mao! Xiang Chu caught you two days ago for burglary. Why don't you stop holding a grudge against him? Besides, Xiang Chu was driven out of the pass by the Madam yesterday at noon. How could he come back to kill someone overnight?"
Deputy Minister Xie was very grateful to Xiang Chu and said with a wry smile: "Director Mao! The acting director is right. The guy was chased to the Military Intelligence Department by the Madam yesterday at noon and was exiled to Dalian on the spot. Everyone knows this. Right!"
After he finished speaking, he even looked at the minister on purpose.
The minister shook his head and said, "I'm so worried! From yesterday afternoon to the end of this afternoon, the door of me and several other ministers was kicked down by a certain young lady. What does it have to do with us? It's not us who sent that kid out."
When everyone heard this, they all knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to laugh and had to hold it in.
Deputy Minister Xie continued, "If that guy is the Red Party's 'Phoenix', why did he save the gentleman and the lady so many times? Does this make sense?"
"Yes! That's unacceptable."
Everyone agreed.
The minister nodded repeatedly and asked with a smile: "Dainong! What is Xiang Chu doing outside the pass?"
Dai Nong was very hesitant. If he said it here, and someone leaked the secret, Xiang Chu would be in great trouble.
But Mao Feng said, "Isn't it just to go to Dalian to assassinate members of the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet North China Autonomous Congress? Who asked that boy to pursue a certain young lady?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp. This was a life-threatening mission, and the eldest lady was completely sending the man pursuing her daughter to his death.
Dai Nong said angrily, "Director Mao! Do you think it's easy to carry out assassinations in a place full of devils?"
Deputy Minister Xie said anxiously, "Stop talking! You are straying from today's topic. Director Xu! Please state your judgment."
Xu En shook his head and said, "I really can't judge. This 'Phoenix' is too smart. Maybe it's sitting in our meeting place."
"what?!"
Everyone was stunned.
He was referring to something, because Kang Ce heard that Xiang Chu had gone out of the pass to Dalian to carry out an assassination, and he was very eager to leave, standing up and sitting down several times.
His behavior was consistent with the testimony of several people at the scene against the "Phoenix", making Xu En think that he wanted to escape at any time.
However, without evidence, Xu En could not point out to his face that Kang Ce was the "Phoenix".
In a certain area of the East China Sea, the Akita Maru was cutting through the waves and heading towards the Japanese country.
Xiang Chu stood on the top deck with his hands behind his back, as if watching the bright moon rising from the sea.
Inwardly, I was calculating: It would take two days to get from Shanghai to Osaka, one day to purchase the items needed by the Anti-Japanese United Army and contact the shipping company for transportation, one day to visit Nobita Fujiwara at Tsukimidai in Tokyo, and two days to take a cruise from Tokyo to Dalian...
"Fujiwara-kun!"
Hase Ichiro's voice brought him back from his thoughts.
Xiang Chu regretted going on deck and meeting someone he didn't want to meet.
However, he still said politely:
"Hmm! Hase-kun, why are you still awake so late?"
Hase Ichiro sighed, "I have trouble falling asleep because I am worried. Alas!"
Xiang Chu pretended to be concerned and said, "Hase-kun, why don't you tell me and see if Fujiwara can help you."
Hase Ichiro smiled bitterly and said, "My father passed away. As the only son in the family, I could neither marry my beloved classmate Miss Junko nor hold a grand funeral for him."
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and said sincerely: "Hase-kun! It turns out that you are a filial son. I decided to sponsor you 10,000 yuan to fulfill your wish."
Hase Ichiro was incredulous and said excitedly: "Fujiwara-kun! Is this true?"
"Of course! Wait here, I'll go down and get the money for you."
Xiang Chu said solemnly, turned around and ran down to the top observation deck.
Soon, he handed 10,000 yen to Hase Ichiro and said with a smile:
"Hase-kun! Please keep this money. You don't have to pay it back. Just think of it as Fujiwara helping you fulfill your wish."
"Thank you! Thank you, sir!"
Hase Ichiro took the money with trembling hands, bowed 90 degrees to Xiang Chu, and did not get up for a long time...
