good night my sir

Chapter 71 The Sakura Banquet

On the ninth day after Mingtai was arrested on No. 76, the Super High School hosted the "Sakura Banquet" at the Licha Hotel.

After working in the new government, many Japanese left their hometowns and came to Shanghai. They could not enjoy the cherry blossoms with their families in their hometown in spring, so this kind of dinner was arranged to bring the Japanese people in Shanghai together.

Originally, the dinner party should have been suspended due to the assassination of senior officials, but it had been planned for a long time, and it was also an event that Yoko Nanda strongly promoted during his lifetime, so Yoshimasa Fujita decided to hold it as usual.

He also intends to let the super high class have a little breathing space in the recent gloomy clouds.

In addition to dressing up, the guests present wore a yellow ribbon sent by the organizer on their chests to express their nostalgia for Mr. Nantian.

Minglou was one of the few Chinese invited to participate, and he was included in the invitation list because of his special relationship with the Japanese side.

Ah Cheng, as the head of the secretariat and Ming Lou's personal assistant, of course also participated.

The two of them wore complete suits, as usual, simple and neat, and they also tied a yellow ribbon folded in half on their chests.

In fact, the two glanced at each other when they got the yellow ribbon, but Ah Cheng fastened it on himself without hesitation, and then tied it for Minglou.

Nantian's death, the two instigators wore yellow ribbons that symbolized missing her, which is quite ironic, but they didn't care.

Compared with the stormy sea outside, this is just a small matter with a breeze.

On the stage, Chen Xuanyu sang to express her heartfelt love, humming a tender and romantic charm in her melodious voice.

Holding red wine, Minglou looked at this beautiful and moving singer from the audience. She was wearing a long white cheongsam, which set off her like a lotus, which lacked the beauty of the past, but added a bit of brilliance.

"What? Someone saw an old lover, and Fan's heart was greatly moved?" Ah Cheng walked over at some unknown time, and whispered next to Minglou.

"Jealous again? They say we have nothing to do." Minglou smiled and whispered, "I won't even let me see women after I dare to love you?"

"Let's talk casually, why are you so serious?" The corners of Ah Cheng's mouth rose slightly.

Ming Lou leaned into his ear as if nothing had happened, and said, "What do you think will happen if I kiss you now? Will the Japanese be frightened?"

Hearing this, Ah Cheng quickly took a step back.

Seeing this, Minglou smiled slightly and said, "Just say it casually, why do you have to be so serious?"

Ah Cheng rolled his eyes at him.At this time, Chen Xuanyu just finished a song, stepped off the stage and came to Ming Lou, and asked with a smile: "Brother Lou, how did I sing today?"

"The oriole out of the valley is always beautiful." Minglou's comments are always short and powerful. Chen Xuanyu giggled, looked at Ah Cheng, and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Ah Cheng?"

"Just as Mr. said." Ah Cheng responded with a public relations smile.

In fact, Ah Cheng didn't have any prejudice against Chen Xuanyu, he just felt that she was hiding something, so he was unavoidably wary of her.

"Mr. Ming, are you still used to the food tonight?" Fujita Yoshimasa came to greet him.Contrary to his usual military attire, he is wearing a dark gray kimono today with a black overcoat. It seems that he has lost the fortitude and solemnity of a soldier, and has more literati style.

"Very good. They are rare and authentic Japanese dishes."

"These are all arranged by Section Chief Nantian, so no matter what, I still try my best to hold this Sakura Banquet, which can be regarded as a little sympathy for her."

"Mr. Fujita is also a long-term lover."

"I have been an old colleague for more than ten years, and we have worked together in a foreign land. Even if we are not relatives, we must have family ties." Fujita Yoshimasa sighed, then suddenly changed the subject, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Ming, have you heard of falcons? "

Ming Lou and Ah Cheng were taken aback at the same time, they didn't expect Yoshimasa Fujita to ask such a question.

Minglou came back to his senses first, and said, "Are you talking about the Falcon of the Communist Party?"

"Yes, do you know anything about him?"

"Yes, he used to be a well-known figure in the industry, but he has disappeared for many years and is said to be dead."

"I think he might have something to do with Yoko Nantian's death... To be precise, it should be something to do with you."

Hearing this, Minglou and Ah Cheng were slightly startled, wondering if Yoshimasa Fujita had grasped the key?It can be seen that his expression is normal, so Minglou asked nonchalantly, "Why did Mr. Fujita say that?"

"Before the dinner started, I received news that on the day Mr. Nantian was assassinated, someone ordered a falcon to attack Minglou's car."

"There is such a thing? Who ordered it? How did you know?" Minglou asked in surprise, and the surprise was not feigned, because he really didn't know why this item suddenly appeared and was not in the plan s arrangement.

"Director Liang just brought some telegrams to me in the special high school, all of which were secret correspondence with the Communist Falcon, which he discovered in Director Wang's office."

"Liang Zhongchun found it in Wang Manchun's office?" Ming Lou was slightly startled.At this point, I quickly understood.Although it was unexpected news, but since Wang Manchun was targeted, and Liang Zhongchun and Falcon were involved, this should be a trap set up by Luo Fangxiong.

Maybe they just had some kind of opportunity, so they created this plan temporarily.

"Yes, the message also includes colluding with Falcon to use your younger brother Mingtai to deliver the cipherbook film, planning to frame you in the future and falsely accuse you of being a member of the Communist Party." Fujita Yoshimasa took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ming, If this is really what Wang Manchun did, it would be terrible, and this is definitely the most deeply hidden espionage case in the history of the new government."

"Using Mingtai? That's right! That's it! I'm right. But I don't believe it. How could it be Manchun?" Minglou pretended to be shocked.

"The evidence is right in front of me. Now I'm just afraid of alarming the enemy, so I didn't arrest her immediately, but came to discuss with you first."

"It's not good, if she did it, then wouldn't the codebook film be invalid?"

"You can rest assured that when the password book is copied, it will be monitored by the people of the super high class, and the super high class will take over after copying. I think Wang Manchun will find an opportunity to go to the super high class to tamper with the content soon. Fortunately, we got the news earlier.”

Hearing this, Ming Lou nodded and said, "Actually, what you said reminded me of an earlier event. When I went to the Spring Festival Reception of the Shanghai Business Circles the month before last, I was shot by an assassin and shot in the right shoulder. At the same time, Wang Manchun happened to pass by Sheshan to suppress the bandits, thinking about it now, maybe her appearance was not a coincidence.”

"Indeed." Chen Xuanyu, who was silent from the sidelines, suddenly interjected, "I will also attend the Spring Festival Gala that day."

After hearing this, Yoshimasa Fujita became more certain about his judgment, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked, "Why didn't I hear Mr. Ming mention this before? The top secret committee was attacked, how can such a major event Do not withdraw the investigation?"

"With all due respect, although I serve on the special committee, I am also a financial adviser to the Economic Department. My primary responsibility is to maintain the stability of Shanghai's economic situation. That day is the most important gathering of Shanghai's business community every year. If news of the anti-Japanese attack comes out, I think, The economy and the stock market are probably the first to cause panic and turmoil, so I can only choose to investigate secretly."

Minglou's answer made Yoshimasa Fujita at a loss as to how to react.He thought for a while and asked, "But even if Wang Manchun is a Communist Party member, she doesn't need to put you to death. She has a solid foundation in No. 76, and she has plenty of ways to pull you down from high positions, so why take the risk of assassinating you?"

"I can't answer this for her. Maybe she has other ideas, but what is certain is that she hates me very much." Minglou took a sip of red wine and said slowly: "She hates me for my sister's words back then. She left her without words and failed to preserve the relationship between us. Over the years, she has blamed me for everything that goes wrong."

Hearing this, Fujita Yoshimasa was thoughtful, and said, "It seems that the rumors that you two were lovers in the past are really true."

"Mr. Fujita, my sister really cares about Mingtai very much. If it proves that Mingtai was framed maliciously, will he be allowed to go home? He is an innocent civilian, and he has been arrested in No. 76 for so many days. They all suffered great harm." Minglou persuaded, and said: "If he is released, I can take him into custody at home, and I will bear the responsibility. As long as you need it, you can interrogate him at any time. I promise you find him."

"I fully understand your considerations, but after all, my younger brother has handled the clues of the anti-Japanese elements. Please allow me to think about it again. I will definitely give you an answer at noon tomorrow at the latest." Fujita Yoshimasa said solemnly.

"Okay, Mr. Fujita, please seriously consider my suggestion." Minglou nodded.

After the dinner, Ah Cheng and Minglou returned to their room and began to discuss what happened tonight.

"Brother, about the Falcon, it should be arranged by Uncle Luo and the others, right?"

"Falcon has always been in charge of Luo Fangxiong's contact, it should be his temporary plan. This trick is very clever, the most amazing thing is that Liang Zhongchun's position on the surface is already neutral, let Liang Zhongchun go to Fujita Saying these things in front of Yoshimasa will win the trust of Fujita Yoshimasa."

Ah Cheng took off his suit jacket, then removed the yellow ribbon on it, and threw it into the trash can.Said: "This move is clever, but tonight I was even more surprised by Chen Xuanyu, she is quite capable in front of the Japanese."

"I doubt that Chen Xuanyu may know something about me. On the surface, she has a background in the Japanese army, but in private, she is friendly with the Qing Gang. In fact, the Qing Gang is also inclined to resist Japan. I am obviously an official of the new government, and she deliberately got close to me before. Occasionally, I have a feeling that she is just pretending to the outside world, and the real her may be unexpected to us."

"I asked Uncle Du and Ruolan about Chen Xuanyu, and they seemed to trust her quite a lot, and they didn't shy away from letting her hear many things. I thought, since she didn't harm us, maybe I don't have to worry about her for the time being. "

Minglou looked at Ah Cheng, and suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Cheng asked.

"Every time you mention Chen Xuanyu, you seem to be a little jealous. It's not normal until now."

"Is there? Who is jealous?"

"No? Aren't you afraid that people will fall in love with me and that I will run away with them?"

"Stop putting gold on your face."

"Speaking is becoming more and more unruly." Minglou's tone was pretending to be severe, but the lines at the corners of his mouth revealed a smile, and he said, "I decided to clean up the family tradition, come here, let me give you a good meal."

Minglou pretended to look fierce.But Ah Cheng was not afraid at all, raised his eyebrows, walked over with a provocative expression, and said, "I call it telling the truth."

The more Ah Cheng has this expression, the happier Ming Lou feels.He just loves Ah Cheng's slightly domineering appearance, the more he looks like a master in front of him, the happier he feels.

Sometimes Minglou even felt that he was a little bit abused. In front of Ah Cheng, he didn't mind being a servant at all.

The man who said that he wanted to clean up the family tradition finally opened his hands and took the young man who seemed to be favored and proud into his arms.
