Chapter 686 Eyes Are Everywhere
When the plainclothes man was handing over to the waiter, Zuo Zhong was not idle, he listened to the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up, and his heart paused when he heard the words "secret service".

Sure enough, it was the gang of traitors from the Harbin Police Department. It was probably just an excuse to take a look along the way. The other party did not come early or late, but he came at this time. There must be something wrong with it.

Just as he was thinking, the members of the secret service department dispersed and approached him. The leader walked up to him with his ID card, looked down at the photo on it, and then looked up at himself.

Maybe he didn't find the problem, so the person closed his ID and asked in accented Japanese: "Mr. Okamoto, hello, I'm Gao Bin, Chief of the General Senior Section of the Harbin Secret Service Division.

You and Mrs. Okamoto came from the Northeast from the area under the jurisdiction of the national government. Can you tell me where you started from, what places you passed along the way, and whether there are any witnesses.

Also, whether your trip is for business or to visit relatives, according to the regulations of Manchukuo and the Kwantung Army, anyone who comes to Harbin must explain the purpose to prevent saboteurs from mixing in. "

"Hello, Gao. Section Chief."

Faced with the question from agent Gao Bin, Zuo Zhong stood up in a daze, as if he didn't know how to address him, he hesitated for a while and greeted him with his surname and position.

An ordinary person who has just arrived in Harbin should not know what the Secret Service Department is, and this person did not explain this when he introduced himself, obviously he was testing.

The so-called ordinary high-ranking unit is one of the three departments under the Secret Service Division. The other two are the inspection unit responsible for reviewing texts and books and the special high-ranking unit, that is, the ultra-high-level unit.

And the job duties of this ordinary high-ranking unit are a bit like the detective brigade of the Jinling Police Department, which specializes in major and important cases, so the other party found them for a certain case?
Many guesses flashed through Zuo Zhong's mind, and then he replied in standard Japanese: "My wife and I opened a pharmacy in Wucheng, Hui Province, Republic of China four years ago, and the business was pretty good.

It's a pity that the situation has become more and more unstable recently. Many Chinese students came to my shop to make trouble. For safety, we can only reluctantly end the business there, damn Chinese. "

When he said this, he gritted his teeth, and then quickly bowed in response: "Sorry, Gao Sang, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about those anti-Japanese personnel."

"It's okay, Mr. Okamoto."

Gao Bin didn't change his face, and raised his finger to the sofa: "Sit down and talk, you will be safe when you arrive in Manchuria, please continue to answer the question I just asked, this is very important."

"Hai, thank you. We took a bus from Wucheng to Jinling, and then took a train to Daocheng, Lu Province. Finally, we took the Jinlu Maru and disembarked in Guandong Prefecture."

While sitting down, Zuo Zhong took out a stack of well-kept ticket stubs from his pocket: "These are the train tickets and boat tickets on the way, and the sailors on Jinluwan can also prove it for us.

This time we went to Northeast China and wanted to reopen a pharmacy, which was originally planned to be in Xinjing, but when we arrived there two days ago, we found that there were a lot of pharmacies, so we decided to come to Harbin temporarily. "

"Well, that's it."

Gao Bin, who was a bit fat, took the ticket stub, flipped through it casually, and handed it to his subordinates for recording. Businessmen are sensitive to money, so it is normal to keep the receipt well.

During this period, he quietly observed the reaction of this Mr. Okamoto. If the itinerary was faked, the other party might show abnormalities when seeing this scene, such as nervousness or fear.

But he was soon disappointed, the other party didn't care about this matter at all, there are two possibilities, either the identity is fine, or there is a big problem, which one will it be?

Gao Bin thought for a while and started chatting with Zuo Zhong: "Mr. Okamoto is from Tokyo, Gao was lucky enough to go there when he was receiving training, it is a very beautiful place.

What impresses me the most is Ueno Park, where the cherry blossoms bloom beautifully every year during the Cherry Blossom Festival, and the zoo in the southeast corner, where the rare and exotic animals are eye-opening. "

"Ueno Park is indeed a must-see in Tokyo. Besides cherry blossoms, there are many peonies, but Gao Sang must have remembered wrongly. The zoo is in the northwest of the park, not the southeast."

Zuo Chong smiled and corrected a mistake in the other party's narration, and talked about the origin of the statue of Takamori Xixiang in the park and scenic spots such as Kan'ei Temple and Tokugawa Family Temple with great interest.

There were some uncommon names and allusions in the middle, which made Gao Bin upset, but because of his duty, he had to bite the bullet and listen to the talkative Japanese in front of him talking non-stop.

After chatting for a long time, while Zuo Zhong was drinking water, he asked again, "Mr. Okamoto, what do you think of Manchukuo? By the way, there is also Mrs. Okamoto."

Openly talking to the other wife in front of her husband is a bit disrespectful, especially in Japan, where folk customs are more conservative, Zuo Zhong's face immediately changed ①.

"Gao Sang, our choice to come to the Northeast speaks for itself. Your Majesty Tian Locust and the Empire help the persecuted Manchurians to establish their own country. As subjects, we naturally support it.

In addition, please don't harass my wife. I am willing to accept the investigation to fulfill my civic duty, not to be afraid of you. My classmates and friends are working in the Imperial Council. "

"Uh, haha, my fault."

Gao Bin was startled when he heard the words, he laughed and patted himself on the head: "I forgot the tradition of your country, Mr. Okamoto, don't care about it, two, I apologize to you."

He Yijun first looked at Zuo Zhong, saw that the other party nodded slightly, then crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, folded his left hand on top of his right hand, bowed lightly and shook his head with a faint smile.

Her actions conform to the etiquette requirements of Japanese society for housewives. She accepts the other party's apology without being too close. There is no fault in this scene.

"Gao Sang, this is a very serious matter."

Zuo Zhong added, and asked a question with a dark face: "By the way, I don't know why you want to investigate us, is it because Manchukuo doesn't welcome the Japanese?

If this is the case, we will leave Harbin tomorrow. Although the Kanto Prefecture is leased to your country, it is still an imperial territory, and it is the same for me to open a pharmacy there. "

A Japanese citizen can be polite to his dog, but he cannot obey unconditionally. He has to be tough when he should be tough.

Among the two Japanese moles he developed in Ningbo, Fu Ichiro Lin was a distinguished viscount, and his father was also the Japanese earl who was in charge of such a behemoth as Mantie.

If necessary, it can be released to support the scene. Of course, this is the last choice. Moles who develop through forced means cannot be trusted, and to be precise, all moles cannot be trusted.

especially the Japanese,

Be more careful when using it.

Besides, when Gao Bin heard the words that the Japanese were not welcome to come to Manchuria, he was startled. If the news got out, he would be shot, he hurriedly explained.

"I definitely don't mean that, Mr. Okamoto, a Japanese was killed not far away just now, that's why we dispatched to check the accommodation staff.

For the sake of your safety, it is best not to go out after dark. In case of sneaky people, please notify the police immediately, and they will be there within 10 minutes. "

"Nani, a citizen of the empire was killed?"

Zuo Zhong's tone seemed a little nervous: "It can't be the anti-Japanese elements. It's really a headache. I didn't expect that even Manchukuo is like this. I knew it would be better to stay in Wucheng."

"Mr. Okamoto, don't worry, our police department will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible and give an explanation to all the citizens." Gao Bin gave an official answer seriously.

"Yaoxi, very good."

"Then don't bother, goodbye."

Feeling that there would be nothing to gain, Gao Bin didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he quickly got up and said something, at the same time, he winked at his subordinates who had finished taking notes, and left in a hurry.

Walking out of the Yamato Hotel, he pondered for a moment and called a special agent, gave a few instructions in a low voice, then left him and took the others into the car, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The person left behind walked into the alley not far away, staring at the hotel with both eyes. Obviously Gao Bin was still worried about Zuo Zhong and the two, and specially arranged for surveillance personnel to follow.

Zuo Zhong and He Yijun in the house took the key and went to the guest room. After closing the door, they did not check whether there was any bugging equipment like they did on Jinluwan, and took a quiet wash and rest.

Because so what if you find it, tear it down, that’s not asking yourself, why don’t you just leave it like this, besides, a couple who have traveled a long distance will not be in the mood to do certain things.

Silent all night.

When the sky was bright, there was the cries of peddlers selling Leba outside, Zuo Zhong and He Yijun walked out of the room fully dressed, and enjoyed a Japanese breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel.

It is worth noting that when they were eating, the hotel waiter passed by several times, as if secretly observing something, Zuo Chong lamented that Harbin is really full of eyes.

After the meal, the two came to the lobby to wait for the taxi they had booked last night. Not long after, the Belarusian driver named Torreta came and warmly invited them to the car.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Go to the Zhengyang Street and Central Street you mentioned, or the place you think is suitable for opening a pharmacy. Please rest assured that I will give you another sum of money as a thank you fee."

Hearing the driver's question, Zuo Zhong drew a large cake in a big way. The other party is the Japanese eyeliner and the best witness. He can use this person to confuse the Japanese.

Torrieta didn't know what he was thinking, and nodded with a smile, started the car and drove out, leading the two of them around the bustling streets of Harbin for a whole day.

When passing by Zhengyang Street and Central Street, Zuo Zhong pretended to get out of the car and asked about the rent of the shop, but when he heard the specific figure, he turned around and left without even intending to stop for a while.

Torreta saw all these in his eyes, and looked at his watch from time to time to record the time, while He Yijun in the back row looked out the window, watching the other party quietly through the reflection.

After walking around like this for three days, Zuo Zhong finally rented a [-] to [-] square meter frontage in Wutang Street between Futou and Xin'anbu, lived in the front shop and opened a small pharmacy.

The name of the pharmacy is simple,
Jiren Pharmacy.

It sounds like it has something to do with Ling Sanping's Renxin Hospital, but that's not what he really thinks. Zuo Zhong will never forget Zhang Anren and the ruined Jishi Pharmacy.

He wanted to use this name to remind himself that if it came to the last moment, he would be like the other party, without any hesitation, without any hesitation, and die with the Japanese.

Never be a traitor,

Never betray the country and nation.

　①Don't be ridiculous, that was Japan in the 30s, not now.There is an interesting knowledge point. It is said that when Korea was invaded, even the Japanese felt that the local Luru costumes were immoral.
