Chapter 3433 Takeda Etsuo
Chapter 3433 Takeda Etsuo
Takeda was cautious from the moment he came in.
No matter how people in the restaurant mocked and cursed him, he kept his head down and dared not say a word.
For him, days like this have long been commonplace.
It was only thanks to the restaurant owner who dissuaded the guest that Takeda's humiliation was temporarily stopped.
Then, another waiter waved to Takeda.
Takeda soon came to him.
The waiter took out a bag and handed it to him. It looked like it had been prepared long ago.
Takeda nodded and bowed, saying thank you repeatedly.
Then, he took the bag and hurriedly left the restaurant amid the ridicule of everyone.
All of this fell into Li Zhifeng's eyes.
He looked at it curiously and casually asked the waiter beside him what was going on.
The waiter smiled contemptuously and told Li Zhifeng the man's origins.
This man's name was Etsuo Takeda. He was originally a Japanese official of the Manila City Government, specifically in charge of Manila's engineering and hydraulic facilities.
During the Japanese colonization of the Philippines, there was no engineering construction at all, except for the construction of fortifications for the Japanese army.
After the liberation of Manila, a large number of Japanese officials were captured, including Takeda Etsuo.
Later, during the reconstruction of Manila, Takeda Etsuo, who was originally imprisoned, was released for unknown reasons and was assigned a job.
It's at a construction site nearby.
Since most of the workers at the construction site were Filipinos, they refused to eat and rest with Takeda Etsuo because of their disgust for the Japanese.
The person in charge of the construction site was really at a loss, so he found this restaurant and asked them to take charge of Takeda Etsuo's meals.
The restaurant owner originally disagreed, but he was a relative of the person in charge of the construction site, so he reluctantly agreed for the sake of face.
However, Takeda Etsuo was not allowed to dine in the restaurant, and food was always prepared for him to take away.
It's not a good thing either, just some leftovers.
After hearing this, Li Zhifeng finally understood.
It seems that this Takeda Etsuo must have some skills or special talents, which is why he was noticed.
As for whether he will escape?
There is no need to worry about this.
He had absolutely nowhere to go.
It’s already lucky that these Japanese are still alive. Where else can they run to?
Besides, Takeda Etsuo only knows Japanese. Even if you let him run away, a Japanese who only knows Japanese will probably not survive half a day walking on the streets of Manila.
"Thank you."
Li Zhifeng stood up and left the hotel slowly.
As soon as I went out, I saw Takeda Etsuo taking food out of the bag and eating it with relish at the corner of the restaurant.
These are all leftovers from the guests, but for some people, they are the most delicious food in the world.
Li Zhifeng observed quietly for a while.
Having followed Meng Shaoyuan for such a long time, although he was not fond of studying, Li Zhifeng had learned some simple knowledge of psychology through observation and osmosis.
He found that when Etsuo Takeda ate these foods, he not only did not feel disgusted, but on the contrary he actually enjoyed it.
Even, there is some meaning of happiness.
Well, when a person is about to starve to death and suddenly gets food, will he show these expressions?
Will not.
When a starving person gets food, he will just be thankful that he is still alive.
There will definitely not be any expression showing happiness.
Besides, although Takeda Etsuo didn’t eat very well, at least he didn’t have to worry about going hungry every day.
Why does he have that expression?
Unless he has accepted his fate.
He gave up struggling and gave up fighting against fate.
After finishing his meal, Takeda Etsuo did not forget to pack up the bag.
At this moment, a cigarette was handed to him.
Li Zhifeng!
Li Zhifeng noticed that Takeda Etsuo's right index and middle fingers were yellow, which is a characteristic of chronic smokers.
Takeda Etsuo was startled. When he saw who handed him the cigarette, he stood up quickly and bowed deeply.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
He didn't know Li Zhifeng, but this had become his habit.
"smokes."
Li Zhifeng said in Japanese.
Although the language wasn't very standard, at least there was no problem with communication.
"Yes, sir, thank you."
Takeda Etsuo took the cigarette.
Li Zhifeng took out his lighter, lit it and handed it over.
Takeda Etsuo was flattered, and hurried over to light the cigarette, then bowed again: "Sir, I am Takeda Etsuo, I wonder if there is anything I can do for you."
"It's okay, just chat, sit down."
Li Zhifeng said this and sat down on the ground.
Takeda Etsuo hesitated for a moment and sat down as well, but he humbly kept a certain distance from Li Zhifeng.
Li Zhifeng lit a cigarette for himself: "I heard that you used to work in engineering hydraulics?"
"Yes, sir." Takeda Etsuo quickly replied: "When I was in Tokyo, Japan, I was in charge of engineering. Later, the war broke out, and I was first assigned to Singapore, and then transferred to Manila."
As he spoke, he seemed to want to explain something: "In Manila, I was not actually responsible for the construction of civil engineering projects. I was mainly responsible for the military. Your Excellency, I am just an ordinary person. I have no way to disobey the orders of the military, but I can be sure that I have never hurt any innocent person."
"Really?" Li Zhifeng said coldly, "Maybe you didn't kill anyone directly, but how many people were killed indirectly by the military facilities you were responsible for? How many civilians died in the construction of military facilities in Manila? When we attacked Manila, how many soldiers fell in front of the bunkers you were responsible for building?"
Takeda Etsuo was frightened, and hurriedly stood up again and bowed again: "Sir, I was wrong, I am guilty."
"Sit down, sit down." Li Zhifeng asked him to sit down again: "For what you did, someone will naturally judge you. What makes me curious is that you should have been imprisoned, so how did you get released?"
Takeda Etsuo did not dare to hide it: "Sir, I was indeed detained, but one day, two Filipino officials found me. They encountered an unsolvable problem on a construction site, so they found me on the recommendation of others.
After getting the Americans' consent, I followed them to the construction site and soon found the problem. Sir, I am quite confident in engineering. However, in solving this problem, I also need an expert to guide me, so they kept me for the time being.
A few days later, the problem was successfully solved. I thought I would be imprisoned again, but soon someone found me again and told me not to go back to prison for the time being, but to stay on the construction site to help until all my crimes were completely redeemed. "
