Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 376 Harvesting Information
Hu Wenzhi is a man who knows current affairs.

A seasoned, intelligent man.

Perhaps when he was young, he also had a naive and innocent side, but after being tricked by Di Bujuan and Di Bujuan's sister-in-law, he has changed.

In the past 20 years, Hu Wenzhi has been alone in a foreign country with constant wars, and only he knows the danger and bitterness in it.

His ability to survive in the end and get to where he is today is enough to prove that his dual quotients have been honed thoroughly.

Therefore, after simply weighing the pros and cons, he quickly reached a "reconciliation" with Shuangxie and Keijiro.

And when I say "reconciliation," you can also pronounce the word "surrender."

This account is not difficult to calculate: the companion Murakami has been captured by his opponent, and he is one against two. One of them is a member of the Huangmen family known for his "lightness skills, poisoning, and hidden weapons", and the other is a man with a long spear. It doesn't look like an ordinary character either. If he chooses toughness, the probability of getting out is almost zero. It's not bad if he can fight to the death.

Originally, he was only working for the Miyoshi family, and he was not his son, so what kind of life was he playing?
To make a long story short, after Hu Wenzhi chose to be arrested without a fight, Sun Huang and Keijiro escorted Hu Wenzhi and Murakami back to the room next door, and began the "interrogation".

Some people may find it a bit strange to see this. They fought and fought in the middle of the night, leaving two corpses on the ground, and then they went back to the next door so calmly?Aren't they afraid of alarming other villagers?

Harm, are you a good person when you are other villagers?We all belong to the same village. A traveler who stayed in a certain family in the village disappeared mysteriously at night. Can the neighbors not know what happened?

To put it bluntly, the six or seven guys before were just "the ones in charge". This village occasionally stabbed passers-by, murdered people and robbed them of their wealth. In fact, the whole village was involved.

This is how this village survived in this era of chaos and chaos. They themselves were oppressed and plundered by bandits, soldiers, or those powerful people, and then turned around to rob people who were weaker than themselves. Something is wrong, or even if you know it is wrong, you will gradually be forced by reality and have to act in this way.

"Tell me, what did you do in Chuanpengzhuang?" Sun Yixie sat down and asked Hu Wenzhi directly.

Here we have to make a digression, that is, there is a small problem in the last book, that is, when Huang Donglai talked to Hu Wenzhi at the beginning, he spoke Chinese, but what the other party heard was translated Japanese, that is to say At that time, "Ke Yan Xun Lie" was in effect, and when Sun Yixie rushed to the scene later, he said, "Eh? What's the situation? Brother Huang, I seem to hear someone speaking our Central Plains dialect?" Hu Wenzhi heard Chinese is directly in Chinese, how is this going on?

The key point here is that when Huang Donglai first communicated with Murakami and Hu Wenzhi, he didn’t know that Hu Wenzhi was from the Central Plains. Until Hu Wenzhi said that he admitted that he was from the Central Plains, Huang Donglai was at most suspicious, so Huang Donglai’s subjective consciousness at that time He was still talking to the Japanese, and as long as he had this awareness, Hu Wenzhi, whether he was the direct object of Huang Donglai's dialogue or a third party, would hear only Japanese.

The sentence that Sun Yixie shouted when he ran over was directed at Huang Donglai. On this occasion, if there are Japanese people who don’t understand Chinese, those Japanese will still hear Japanese, but because Hu Wenzhi is from the Central Plains At this time, as a third party, he will hear Chinese when he hears what Sun Ge said when he subjectively said "people from the Central Plains speak to people from the Central Plains".

So, here I would like to ask you a question, if there is a "Japanese who understands Chinese" present, what will happen?
the answer is--

When Shuangxie doesn’t know that the Japanese understands Chinese, they speak directly to the Japanese, what this Japanese hears is Japanese, and when they speak to another Japanese near the Japanese, what the Japanese hears is still Japanese, but when they speak to a person near the Japanese who they clearly know is from the Central Plains or who can speak Chinese, the Japanese who understands Chinese will hear Chinese.

And when Shuangxie knows that the Japanese understands Chinese, whether the Japanese is their direct conversation partner or a third party (as a third party, if Shuangxie is talking to a Japanese person, then Shuangxie still needs to know that he is present. ), you will hear Chinese.

Is the setting description I mentioned above a bit like "K language"?
Anyway, if you understand it, you will understand it, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, because this matter is actually not very important. Here is a reminder for those who prefer to ponder the details, so as to prevent Kamo Hayato from appearing in some occasions later. When a similar situation happens, you have a tangled feeling that the shit is not clean.

Closer to home...

"Since you all know that we did it after looking at the weapons, do you still need me to tell you the story again?" Hu Wenzhi answered Sun Yixie's question in a neither humble nor overbearing way.

"Tsk..." But Sun Yixie is well known to everyone. After he takes control of the situation, he has his usual routine, "Let's say it out and explain it to yourself. Do you know that there is a difference in this nature?"

This is not the first time Brother Sun has said this phrase, of course there is something to it...

As the saying goes, "the more you talk, the more mistakes you make." If you let a person explain himself, often "you have to say something if you have nothing to say."

Then you have to ask: "How can you tell something about nothing?"

Then I can only answer: "It's because there's nothing wrong now, so this...doesn't something happen?"

Anyway, everyone is familiar with this word, right...

"Okay..." Right now, being bullied by Sun Yixie, Hu Wenzhi really began to explain while thinking.

In fact, Hu Wenzhi and Murakami's plan was very simple: on the day of the assassination of Zhutian, because Hu Wenzhi had the ability to detect the movement of Zhutian by ear at a long distance, he and Murakami decided from the very beginning not to set foot in Chuanpeng Village; The two of them have been cats in the woods outside the hotel wall since the afternoon, patiently waiting for an opportunity for a bamboo field to be alone. Take out the iron mound and take Zhutian away, and then you can walk away.

The advantage of this plan is that the two of them don't have to show their faces in front of others from the beginning to the end, as long as no one nearby happens to witness the murder process during the killing, that is, in the short few seconds (with Hu Wenzhi's ear skills) investigation, this is also guaranteed), then they can retreat calmly after they are done, and even if Zhutian's body is discovered immediately and causes a commotion in the hotel, it is not a big problem... because after seeing that " After blunt trauma", the first reaction of the investigators must be "Taketa was beaten to death from close range". On this basis, the first thing they suspect and investigate is undoubtedly the person in the hotel.

Even if the investigator guessed that "the murderer jumped over the wall and ran away after killing someone", they would still think that the murderer was an employee of the hotel or a passenger with a check-in record, because normally, only by entering the hotel in advance can they lock and track Zhutian and find him. The time to strike.

Unless Kumagai can guess out of thin air the two pieces of information that "someone can lock Takeda from outside the hotel wall and can launch a long-range attack that is the same as melee blunt damage", otherwise he will not launch "the murderer is from the beginning to the end. Those who have been in the hotel" such a conclusion.

So, that afternoon, Hu Wenzhi and Murakami began to act according to the plan.

To Hu Wenzhi's surprise, the VIP suite where Takeda and Kumagai lived had a separate latrine, which was not connected to the outer wall, so the supposedly ideal assassination opportunity of "Takeda went to the latrine" did not exist.

Of course, we all know that even if the VIP room does not have a separate toilet, Hu Wenzhi and the others can’t do anything about it, because Huang Donglai basically “stationed” in the ordinary toilet of the hotel from afternoon to night that day. If Zhutian really went to use the ordinary toilet, There is always a witness there.

In this way, until midnight, just when Hu Wenzhi felt that there might be no chance that day, Zhutian came to the door by himself.

This matter can only be said to be fate...

That day Zhutian and Kumagai were in a good mood after talking about the matter, so they had a banquet together until very late; later Kumagai went back to the room to rest, but Zhutian was still very excited and didn't want to go to bed, so he called some girls to the room to accompany him.

After the cloud and rain, Zhutian was sweating all over, and he was a little sober from the wine, so he wanted to take a bath, sweat off before going to sleep.

And because he had just finished his work at the moment, he had sent all his entourage outside the house before, and he just wanted to wash up before going to bed, so he didn't deliberately go outside to ask people to follow him, but he Go out from the corridor of the back door of the VIP room, pass through the wooden house where you change clothes, and go soak in the pool.

He didn't expect that once he left, he wouldn't be able to come back.

As for Hu Wenzhi and Murakami, they were also very cautious and calm. After Zhutian entered the hot spring alone, they didn't do anything immediately.

I've been waiting until this moment, and it's not too late.

In order to prevent the opponent from dodging the attack by relying on the "instinctive reaction when encountering a frontal attack", or failing to kill with a single blow due to a slight tilt of the head, they waited for a few more minutes until Zhutian came out of the pool and turned to leave. Just started.

Facts also proved that their caution was correct, because it was late at night, and the sound transmission effect was better than during the day, so Murakami's "lock sickle" made a certain movement before shooting and when it broke through the air... This movement is The source of the surprised expression on Zhutian's face, but because the attack came from behind, even if Zhutian had realized something, he couldn't dodge it.

"Hmm... It seems that you two are quite professional." Hearing Hu Wenzhi finished explaining the details of the assassination, Sun Yixie pondered thoughtfully, and then said, "Isn't this the first time you have done this?"

"Oh, that's right." Hu Wenzhi smiled and didn't deny it, "I'm a martial arts practitioner who has left my hometown. In this wild place, if I don't do this kind of thing, what else can I do?" He said, Then he glanced in the direction of the outside of the house, "I will either do things for others in exchange for rewards, or I will do the same thing as the villagers here, just do the money-killing business."

"Oh...'doing work for someone', right?" Sun Yixie quickly caught the most crucial words in this sentence, then paused, and said in a serious tone, "For whom?"

You see, isn't this just saying something out of nothing?
"Mr. Araki!" At this moment, Murakami couldn't help it anymore, he hurriedly said, "These people are either Maori or Nizi, we can't betray them just to save our lives..."

"Hahahaha..." Unexpectedly, before Murakami finished speaking, Keijiro interrupted him with a big laugh, "Uncle, by saying this, isn't it tantamount to admitting that you are a member of the Miyoshi clan?"

Murakami was stunned again by the other party's point.

Seeing this, I think everyone can feel it. Whether it was a misunderstanding with Huang Donglai before, or being overreacted by Keijiro's words repeatedly and showing his feet, it all shows the fact that Murakami is not very smart.

Based on the background of the times at that time, the Murakami was definitely not ordinary stupid if Miyoshi could arrange Hu Wenzhi, an "outsider" from the Central Plains, as his boss; Based on his background, he should be the one to lead Hu Wenzhi.

"Alas..." Two seconds later, Hu Wenzhi sighed, "Mr. Murakami, let me say something."

Now, it’s useless to talk about it. Everyone knows the current situation of the three families of Mori, Nizi and Miyoshi. Hu Wenzhi and Murakami have killed a person who is very important to the Mori family. If you think about it with your ass, you will know that the two of them are messing up the situation for Miyoshi.

"Ha!" Sun Yixie was also happy, and blurted out at that time, "So there are ninjas as mentally handicapped as you?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Wenzhi was slightly startled again.

At that time, the information was underdeveloped, and people in the Central Plains knew little about overseas customs, and many information would be distorted after being circulated. Even Hu Wenzhi did not know what a "ninja" was until long after he came to Japan.

But Sun Yixie revealed Murakami's "ninja" status as soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, which shows that he not only knows about "ninja", but also has a considerable understanding of it.

"You..." Murakami's performance remained stable, "How do you know..."

"Don't you know?" Sun Yixie didn't have to wait for him to finish speaking, "Look at the props you are wearing, it's clear at a glance."

This is true. After subduing Hu Wenzhi and Murakami just now, Sun Huang and Sun Huang took down all the weapons in Murakami's hands. Anyway, if they want to disarm, the other gadgets hidden in Murakami's clothes must also be confiscated. .

And these props, in the eyes of Sun Yixie, the inheritor of "Unlimited Martial Arts", naturally understand by analogy, and one can guess the purpose at a glance.

"Your Excellency is really knowledgeable." Hu Wenzhi saw that the situation was not good, in order to prevent Murakami from being manipulated by Sun Yixie, he quickly interjected, "So...Your Excellency, are you also a member of the Huang family?"

"Why?" Sun Yixie turned around and smiled when he heard the words, "I'm afraid I'll interrupt our conversation if I get the words of you ninja brother out, and use my identity instead, right?"

Hu Wenzhi saw that his intentions were instantly seen through, and he was also speechless.

"Okay, brother Hu, you don't have to struggle anymore." Huang Donglai also joined the conversation at the right time, and began to raise his eyebrows, "I might as well just say that we are not working our lives for some gross profit or nizi at all. Yes, from just now until now, you two have been overreacting and guilty, which led to constant conflicts with us..." He paused, "But since the matter has come to this point, if you still want to get out of here , then you have to give me a reason to let you leave alive."

Hu Wenzhi also understood Huang Donglai's account in his heart.

Tonight's incident can only be said to be a coincidence, from the initial misunderstanding and conflict with Huang Donglai, to the game between the two sides testing each other's identities from the Central Plains, to Sun Yixie's unintentional exposure, Keijiro's words, and Murakami's Overreaction, it can be said... If there is a missing link, neither side will reach this point.

Now that Hu Wenzhi and Murakami's identities as Miyoshi's subordinates have been exposed, and they know the identities of Shuangxie Central Plains people, from the perspective of Shuangxie, let them go, then if they go back and report this matter , wouldn't it be extraneous?

If it’s okay, it’s okay. If the Sanhao Army has some doubts about the purpose of these two Central Plains masters, conducts an investigation, or allows this information to be passed on to other daimyos, will it affect their mission in the future? It's hard to say...

If the positions were reversed today, assuming that it was Hu Wenzhi who came to help Emperor Damen, and then ran into two spies of Japanese warlords who saw through his identity as a Central Plains man, then he would not hesitate at all, and it would definitely be the safest way to kill and silence.

"Then how about we make a deal?" Hu Wenzhi thought for a moment, and then said to Huang Donglai, "As long as you let us go today, we will neither talk nor inquire about your affairs; and what we do, you Don't let it reach the ears of Maori or the Nizi army, is this fair?"

"Forget it!" Before Huang Donglai responded, Sun Yixie jumped up first, "What is the reason for the murder in Chuanpengzhuang? Even if you go to the Maori army and surrender now, they may not pay attention to you."

"That's right." Huang Donglai immediately followed up, "This condition...is not enough, and it's not appropriate."

"Then how about..." Hu Wenzhi said again, "Your Excellency can use your Huangmen's poison technique to inflict a poison on us that won't break out in a short period of time, as a guarantee?"

I have to say that this Hu Wenzhi is brave and resourceful. Anyway, his and Murakami's lives are in the hands of others right now. Compared with dying immediately tonight, the condition of "being threatened with an antidote" is completely acceptable. that's it.

"Hey~ That's so troublesome." Huang Donglai said, "If you really do this, it means that after we finish our work, we have to come back to help you detoxify, or find a way to bring the antidote to you?"

"Oh? Your Excellency already thought of that step?" Hu Wenzhi said in a slightly surprised tone, "So you are really trustworthy people... Generally speaking, under this condition, what you should worry about is how to detoxify afterwards. We are the poisoned side, right?"

"Ha!" At this moment, Sun Yixie interjected with a smile, "What do you mean generally speaking? Generally speaking... If I were you, when I offered to ask the other party to poison me as a guarantee in exchange for temporary freedom At that time, I had already figured it out, as long as I get out tonight, I will immediately send rescuers, and when I turn back, I will bring people back to kill and catch these poisoners, and force them to hand over the antidote immediately."

His words once again punctured the "best policy" that Hu Wenzhi had in mind for alternatives.

Hu Wenzhi also gradually discovered that the more he talked with these two young people, the more frightened he felt—these two guys' sophistication in "considering all other people's behaviors with a villain's heart" made Hu feel inferior.

"Hey, Kameda-san, how can you say that..." A few seconds later, Huang Donglai raised his eyebrows and took over Brother Sun's words, "We are chivalrous men, and we mean what we say."

Hu Wenzhi was stupefied by the hypocrisy of these words, his scalp was numb for a while, he shivered, and tried to continue the negotiation: "Then what do you think is 'enough' to let us go? "

"Well..." Huang Donglai pretended to think about it for a while, and then turned to me, "If you are willing to give me some other information, let us pick a few that sound valuable and enough to threaten you to grasp, That's okay."

"What do you want to know?" Hu Wenzhi asked again, "Also... even if I am willing to tell you, can you be sure that what I am telling is the truth?"

"Oh...that's easy." Sun Yixie smiled again and took over the conversation, "I asked you and Murakami separately, interspersed with some of the same questions, wouldn't that be enough?"
