No trace of espionage

Chapter 1179 Evacuation from Shanghai (The Finale)

Because he was an official of the new government, Wu Sibao's funeral was carried out according to the new law—that is, unnecessary superfluous texts were removed, and the focus was on mourning. No matter whether he was a dutiful son or a poor guest, he was not allowed to kneel down and pay respects.

According to this regulation, both She Aizhen and Ah Gen should stand in front of the coffin to pay respects.

But because She Aizhen was pregnant, she was afraid of being attacked by ghosts, so she moved to Lanyuan on the grounds of excessive grief.

All the funeral affairs are entrusted to Lin Chuang.

Impatient with trivial matters, Lin Chuang assigned the post of chief funeral director to Pan Shou, who arrived at the first time, and Prime Minister Wu Sibao's funeral affairs, while he hid in the east wing to take charge of the funeral.

There are many hangers.

Most of them are Wu Sibao's former colleagues, disciples of the Youth Gang, and of course officers from the police station and tax police station.

The latter came to offer condolences, of course not to look at Wu Sibao, but to look at Lin Chuang.

In addition, there is basically no heavyweight.

It's really cool.

Due to the hot weather, it was not easy to preserve the dead body. After discussing with Pan Shou, Lin Chuang and Pan Shou decided to set the funeral period as three days.

The next night, a heavyweight hanger--Lan Xiangping suddenly came.

Although he and Lan Xiangping were not on good terms, Lin Chuang still welcomed them out when they came to express their condolences.

Lan Xiangping bowed three times to the portrait of Wu Sibao, comforted A Gen, and followed Lin Chuang to the East Wing.

It was just the two of them in the room.

After a few gossips, Lan Xiangping said, "I heard that the funeral is only for three days?"

Lin Chuang replied: "Yes, it's safe to put it in the ground. The weather is too hot to let it go. It's already smelly now."

"Not waiting for Deputy Director Li?" Lan Xiangping asked.

Lin Chuang glanced at Lan Xiangping, his heart moved, and he said: "Deputy Director Li has called, saying that he is busy with military equipment and has no time to return to Shanghai in the near future."

"They have a deep brotherhood, so it's a little unreasonable not to come back for the funeral. Orphans and widows, as Captain Wu's closest relative, he should come back for the funeral." Lan Xiangping said.

Lin Chuang frowned, and said: "Dean Lan makes sense. But, this corpse can't be kept for a long time, I'm afraid it will rot before Deputy Director Li comes back."

Seeing that Lin Chuang was not on the right track, Lan Xiangping said in a low voice, "Deputy President Zhu asked me to tell you that I hope you can make this happen."

Lin Chuang glanced at Lan Xiangping and said to himself, are you so impatient?

Getting rid of Li Shiqun is also Lin Chuang's goal. On this point, the two who have always been at odds agree.

Also, being cuckolded "out of nothing", Lan Xiangping must be very angry and anxious, and must be eager to find an opportunity to take revenge.

But Li Shiqun stayed in Jinhua, Zhu and Lan couldn't reach there no matter how long their arms were.

Now that Wu Sibao's death has given them a chance, can they make good use of it?
"Well, Mrs. Li is here, why don't you talk to him in person?" Lin Chuang said.

"That's fine, please invite Mrs. Li over here." Seeing that Lin Chuang was slippery, Lan Xiangping had no choice but to persuade Ye Jiqing himself.

After Wu Sibao passed away, Ye Jiqing stayed at Wu's house and helped receive the female family members.

Lin Chuang asked Ye Jiqing to be called into the East Wing, and left on the pretext of having something to do.

He didn't want to be blamed by Ye Jiqing afterwards.

I don't know what to say, but soon, Lin Chuang noticed that Ye Jiqing left in a hurry.

After she left, Lin Chuang returned to the East Wing. Lan Xiangping smiled and said, "Mrs. Li is very sensible. She also thinks it's not good for Deputy Director Li not to come back, so she went to send a telegram."

"The funeral date cannot be changed. I wonder if Deputy Director Li can come back?" Lin Chuang asked.

Jinhua is more than 600 miles away from Shanghai, and it is not easy to get back overnight.

What's more, as an important government official, Li Shiqun didn't just leave alone.

"He can go to Hangzhou by car, and then take the train. If he can come back in time, he won't miss the funeral." Lan Xiangping said.

"Okay, tomorrow's funeral will go on as usual." Lin Chuang said.

Lan Xiangping smiled and left.

……

Li Shiqun received his wife's telegram, and rushed back starry night, and finally arrived in front of Wu Sibao Ling at ten o'clock the next day.

Seeing Wu Sibao's remains, Li Shiqun shed tears even though it was as deep as the sea.

Even though he was very tired, Li Shiqun insisted on going home to rest after the funeral was over in the afternoon and Wu Sibao was buried.

After three days of busy work, Lin Chuang was as tired as a dog, and fell asleep when he returned to Orchid Garden, and slept until the next day.

After breakfast, Lin Chuang was discussing with She Aizhen when to go to Hong Kong when he suddenly received a call from Ye Jiqing to She Aizhen.

Ye Jiqing cried and told She Aizhen that Li Shiqun went to the banquet for Quan Yangjian and Zhu Daoshan last night, and when he got home he complained of a stomachache, and he passed away this morning.

After answering the phone, She Aizhen was stunned for a long time.

Lin Chuang asked her, she just told the news of Li Shiqun's death, and said that after Nakano Yunzi checked Li Shiqun's death, he slandered that Ye Jiqing and Zhu Linsun poisoned him, and the Japanese have now captured Zhu Linsun , and she herself was under surveillance, and she was in danger of being taken away at any time. Let her talk to Lin Chuang and let Lin Chuang save her.

When Lin Chuang heard the news, he thought in his heart that Li Shiqun finally did not escape the historical track, and died in the hands of Zhu Daoshan and the Japanese.

However, in history, he died in the 32nd year of the Republic of China, but now it is the 30th year of the Republic of China, and he died two years earlier.

Well, this matter cannot be entirely pushed to the Japanese and Zhu Daoshan, and Lin Chuang is also credited with flapping a few times with the small wings of a butterfly.

For She Aizhen's sake, Lin Chuang stepped forward to save Ye Jiqing and Zhu Linsun.

But the Japanese have a condition, that is, Ye Jiqing should stop talking nonsense about the cause of Li Shiqun's death.

Ye Jiqing didn't dare to provoke the Japanese, so he could only agree.

……

Time flies, and soon came August 1945, 8, the day after Japan announced its unconditional surrender.

At the gate of the China-Japan Cultural Exchange Center, Lin Chuang directed Xi Wenxin and others to remove the plaque with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Quan Yangjian, Nakano Yunzi and Shi Gongxian came in a car.

The three of them looked serious.

Seeing that the plaque was being unloaded, Fairy Shi Gong said: "Lin Sang, you can go to Japan with us, so as not to be overturned."

"Yeah, Lin... Sang, you have already bought land in Kyoto, so go live in seclusion in Japan. You probably won't be able to keep the property in Shanghai. Zhang Jinlu, Mrs. Jingxin, and She Aizhen have all gone to Hong Kong. There is nothing to miss here. Yes, it just increases troubles." Nakano Yunzi said.

She wanted to call him "Official Lin" as in the past, but these days she was in a bad mood and couldn't make jokes, and it didn't fit the atmosphere of the scene, so she changed the words to "Lin Sang".

Lin Chuang was in a good mood.

The surrender of the Japanese was, in any case, a great joy.

But unfortunately, these three people will withdraw to Japan in a few days and escape the trial of the Chinese people.

Lin Chuang looked at them, shook his head and said, "I will go to Japan, but not now."

"why?"

Fairy Shi Gong looked a little anxious, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Mr. Quanyang knows my ideal." Lin Chuang replied.

Quan Yangjian said: "Lin Sang, you still cling to the ideal of saving the country through industry? Actually, I didn't tell you that your ideal has been proven in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and it will not work."

"The time is the same. When the country has sovereignty and the relations of production no longer hinder the development of productive forces, China will definitely prosper and prosper, and there will be a day of prosperity." Lin Chuang replied.

Inuyang Ken was silent when he heard the words. After a while, he finally nodded and said, "You are right."

He said again: "Lin Sang, we have known each other for several years, and I already regard you as a good friend. Can you promise me a request?"

"please say."

Inuyang Ken pointed to the removed plaque, and said: "When the day you said comes, I hope you can say more good things for Japan and do more things to enhance the friendship between China and Japan."

Lin Chuang said coldly: "Mr. Inuyang, the Japanese invaded China, causing the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese, and almost subjugated the country. This hatred has penetrated deep into the bones of the Chinese people, and generations will never forget it. So , Forgive you, don’t even think about it, it’s impossible.”

This statement sounds completely inconsistent with Lin Chuangping's usual remarks. It seems that in his heart, he has already regarded people like himself as enemies.

Yunzi Nakano blinked, and suddenly thought of the large number of Japanese spies he had captured when he was in Nanjing, and thought of his suspicion of Lin Chuang.

She tentatively asked: "Lin Sang, are you a military commander or an underground party? We will leave China the day after tomorrow, so you don't need to hide it?"

Lin Chuang smiled slightly and said, "Guess?"
