Lost and Spy

Chapter 517 Leaving Calmly
Meng Shaoyuan knew that his current situation in Nanjing was already very dangerous.

Now that the Japanese already know that they are in Nanjing, they will definitely try to find themselves.

Every extra day you stay in Nanjing means an extra day of danger.

Now that the film has been obtained, what needs to be considered is how to send these films out safely.

News just came from Shanghai:

Under the mediation of the Public Concession Industry Bureau, the military command has begun negotiations with the Japanese special agencies, preparing to end the long bloody assassination and welcome the arrival of the new year.

But the specific conditions are still in constant dispute.

As for the Japanese side, Hitotsu Matsumoto, Yoshio Manda, and Michi Tani Shigehara are the main persons in charge of the negotiations on the Japanese side.

What Meng Shaoyuan was waiting for was now.

Manako can play her bigger role now.

Now Manako is undoubtedly the happiest girl in the world.

No, she is no longer a girl.

but a woman.

Mr. Shaoyuan's woman.

Is there anything more gratifying than this?

"What? You want me to go back to Shanghai first?"

But soon, Manako was no longer happy. When she heard Meng Shaoyuan's request, she refused without thinking: "I won't leave, I want to stay with you in Nanjing."

"Listen, Makoto." Meng Shaoyuan said very sincerely: "I would like to be with you, and every day. But not now, my people need me, and I need you."

And I need you!

Men and women in love hope and like to hear this sentence most.

"Shaoyuan-jun, tell me, what do you need me for?" When she heard this sentence, Manako no longer hesitated.

"I have a box that I need you to take to Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice: "There is very important information in the box. This information is related to my people and our future."

"Our future?" Manako didn't understand at all.

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan nodded vigorously: "Let me tell you, we have internal regulations that prohibit unauthorized marriage, otherwise you will be severely punished, let alone you are Japanese..."

"But I..." Mana became anxious all of a sudden.

"Listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted her: "But there is a way, that is, if I make a great contribution, then I can use this as a reason to ask my superiors to approve the matter between us..."

Meng Shaoyuan knew that he would be struck by lightning sooner or later.

This mouthful of nonsense, is it a person who is ashamed to deceive such a pure and kind girl as Manako?

But for these films, Meng Shaoyuan didn't care much about it.

Makoto totally believed it.

A woman in love.

She became excited: "Mr. Shaoyuan, no matter what is in that box, I will give it out for you. I promise, for our future and happiness!"

"Thank you, Mainako." Meng Shaoyuan carefully ordered: "When you arrive in Shanghai, find an opportunity to send this box to No. 892 Albert Road and give it to a woman surnamed Wu. Your mission is completed."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Manako: "Tell me, you will do it!"

"I will do it, for Mr. Shaoyuan, and for our future!"

Meng Shaoyuan carefully observed Manako's expression.There is no expression of lying, firm eyes, full of longing for the future, and infinite trust in oneself.

Well, Manako is telling the truth, she will definitely complete the task.

Meng Shaoyuan also knew that he was despicable. When Ma Naizi treated him wholeheartedly, he was quietly observing whether she was lying or not.

But there is no way, it must be done.

These eight rolls of film are more important than my own life.If history changed wrongly here, Meng Shaoyuan swore that he would end his life with a single bullet.

No, even if he is about to die, he will not be able to atone for his sins.

Meng Shaoyuan took a deep breath: "Mainako, let me tell you how to leave Shanghai and how to protect this box..."

……

Habara Koichi likes to come to work very early, this is already his living habit.

He always believes that one's hard work will definitely be rewarded.

"Major Habara, someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

"A girl."

"Girl?" Yu Yuanguang was stunned: "Let her in."

When the girl came in, Habara Koichi suddenly showed displeasure.

Isn't it the reporter Manako who came with Shimamoto Narumi that day and made strange anti-war remarks?

Hikaru Habara showed displeasure on his face: "Miss Matsumoto, what are you doing here? Are you still planning to spread your dangerous remarks?"

"No, Your Excellency, Major." Today's Manako was holding a suitcase in her hand, pitifully: "I...I can't stand this place anymore, I want to go home."

If the people of the empire were like this, how could China be conquered?

Habara Koichi said coldly: "You are Japanese, if you want to leave, you can leave anytime and anywhere."

"I'm scared, Your Excellency, Major, I'm really scared." Manako's eyes were red again: "I dare not go home alone, Rukawa-kun who came with me said that he can't go back for the time being..."

Yes, of course Habara Koichi knew that the so-called "Rukawa-kun" Shimamoto Narumi was completing his mission in Nanjing!This woman was just an object he used.

"Your Excellency, Major, I would like to ask you to make a call to Shanghai."

"Sorry, we occupied Nanjing. The telephone exchange has been destroyed. Although repairs have been completed, only military telephones are allowed to make calls to other places. You have no right to occupy military resources!"

At that time, China's telephone system was relatively advanced.

Taking Shanghai as an example, it has been able to communicate with more than 40 Chinese cities, as well as many foreign cities such as Washington, Tokyo, Nagasaki, Manila, and Berlin.

In June 1937, there were 6 domestic long-distance calls and 33000 calls with foreign countries.

With the fall of Nanjing, all telephones became military supplies.

Manako hurriedly said, "I want to call my father, he is also a soldier."

"Your father is a soldier?"

"Yes, Hitotsu Matsumoto."

"Who?"

"Shanghai, Colonel Hitotsu Matsumoto."

Habara Koichi never imagined that the girl in front of her spreading anti-war remarks was actually the daughter of Chief Hitotsu Matsumoto, one of the "Three Tigers of the Empire"!
"You, are you really Matsumoto's daughter?" Habara Koichi was dubious.

"Yes, you can get confirmation as soon as you call, please."

Habara Koichi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly picked up the phone: "I want an outside line... Help me connect to the Shanghai Telephone Office, the Public Concession Telephone Office... Please help me transfer to Yun Mansion... Hello, I am Nanjing... Major Habara Koichi, Please find Colonel Matsumoto... Password, 379151... Your Excellency... May I ask if your daughter is called Manako..."

He handed the phone to Makoto.

As soon as Manako got the phone call, she immediately said with tears: "Dad, I am Manako, I am interviewing in Nanjing... It's terrible, it's really scary... I want to go home, I want to go back to you next to..."

She cried into the phone for a long time before handing the phone to Habara Koichi: "Daddy wants to talk to you."

"Your Majesty."

"Are you Major Habara Koichi?"

"Yes."

"Manako has caused you trouble."

"It doesn't matter, Your Excellency."

"Manako is too naive, but she's still a girl, I should have come in person, but I'm dealing with those military commanders, and I really can't do it alone, so I would like to trouble you to send her back to Shanghai."

"Okay, Your Excellency, I will personally escort Miss Manako to the train station, and there will be a special train in the afternoon. I will also arrange two men to protect Miss Manako all the way to Shanghai."

"Thank you for your hard work. I hope to have the opportunity to see you in Shanghai. Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

The phone hangs up.

Habara Koichi took a deep breath: "Miss Manako, it's dangerous outside, don't go out without authorization. And, please don't say what you said before, your father is a hero of the empire, so it's good for his reputation will have an impact."

"Yes, I will never leave my father's side again." Manako sobbed.

These girls don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

Habara Koichi sighed in his heart...

……

Nanjing Railway Station.

"Major Habara, why did you come in person?"

"Shi Shaozuo, you are on duty at the station today. This is the daughter of Colonel Hitotsu Matsumoto from Shanghai. She is going back to Shanghai. These two are escorting her. Please arrange three seats for them."

"Okay, since it's Colonel Matsumoto's daughter and you're personally escorting her, of course there's no problem. However, according to the regulations above, all luggage carried by non-military personnel must be checked."

"I see."

Habara Koichi looked at Manako: "Miss Manako, please open the box."

But Manako hesitated: "Just open it here?"

"Yes, that's the rule."

"I'm afraid...it's a bit inconvenient."

Habara Koichi showed a suspicious look: "Are you carrying something that you shouldn't be carrying?"

"Ah, no, no, then I'll open it."

Manako's face turned red for some reason, she put the suitcase on the ground and opened it carefully.

Immediately, Habara Koichi and Ishi Sasa knew why Manako was so hesitant and blushed.

In the suitcase, there are some women's products, such as women's underwear...

Shi Shaozuo was a little embarrassed, he flipped over symbolically with the command knife, and then said: "Okay, no problem, I'll take them into the car right now."

What an amazing Mr. Shaoyuan.

Manako closed the suitcase, and according to Mr. Shaoyuan's instructions, he generously handed it over to the special agent who accompanied him to Shanghai.

"Don't be afraid, be calm when you encounter anything." This is what Mr. Shao Yuan said to himself.

"What a troublesome woman." Watching the train slowly leaving the station, Habara Hikaru shook his head and said, "If she wasn't the daughter of Matsumoto, she wouldn't even be able to survive a day in Nanjing."

Shi Shaozuo has a good relationship with him: "Hahara-kun, do you have a crush on her?"

"No, I'm not interested in women at all." Habara Koichi said with a sneer.
