"A few years ago, there was a left-wing organization called 'Golden Violin' at the University of Berlin. Its members were mainly college students and professors. At the beginning, it was just a discussion of different ideologies. Later, it was ordered to disband and it lost its voice. I did not expect that last year At first the organization became active again. We have reliable information that last Tuesday at around three o'clock in the afternoon at the Hansel Bauer Café on Gieselbrecht Strasse, a leading member of the organization will meet with a foreign spy .I had arranged enough monitoring personnel around the cafe in advance, and I was going to catch them all. Unexpectedly, a quarter after two o'clock, Zhen Yu came to the cafe. The fight caused quite a commotion, and the police were called in. As you can imagine, our operation failed, and no one to be arrested showed up. I had to ask Zhen Yu from the police, and we needed an explanation .”

This greatly exceeded my expectations.Left-wing organizations, opposing the government, inciting sabotage, and treason are all serious crimes. Yu is a foreigner, that is espionage and can be executed at any time.It's no wonder that Mr. Zhen had to inquire about Mr. Zhen through official, diplomatic, and private channels, but no one paid any attention, and no one dared to help. No wonder they can detain and detain him without any scruples, and they are charged with espionage.If it is true, or if there is no strong evidence to dispel doubts, then Yu... I feel cold sweat running down my spine.I stubbed out the cigarette butt, trying to control it so that the trembling of my hand would not be too obvious.Schulenburg handed over another one.

I pretended to be calm and asked while lighting a cigarette. "You mean Yu is here for the joint?"

"No, of course not. If she was, she wouldn't mean to provoke the police."

"Intentionally provoke? Why did she intentionally provoke?" I grinned.This is the first conscious expression I have made since facing him, and it may not be in place. "Maybe the wait staff pissed her off, maybe she was just upset. She's pregnant and pregnant women can be very grumpy."

"But it is very rare for a Chinese to lose his temper on the streets of Berlin and do something to a German."

This statement makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but it is true.

"Anyway, you can't arrest her on that alone."

"There are records that Zhen Yu participated in the 'Golden Violin' once or twice in 1936 shortly after he came to Germany. At that time, this organization was still open."

"Is she a member?"

"No, she's just attending."

"The enthusiasm and curiosity of young students?" I tried another smile.We were both heavy smokers, and the room was full of smoke, which was good, and gave me the courage to look him in the eye through the smoke.

I suddenly noticed one thing, he stopped smiling.Before that, he had always had a reserved and shy smile on his face, as if that smile was inherent, but it took a lot of effort to put the smile away, or it was his expression whether to say or not to smile.Now he doesn't smile, his face is expressionless.He had a scar on his chin that was cute when he smiled and blended into the smile, but now the scar was ugly again.

"It should be. So we don't think she is the person we want to arrest, but this is already very clear. Zhen Yu should know all the key members of the 'Golden Violin' organization."

My brain turned quickly.What on earth does he want?What evidence does he want?Is it evidence that Yu is not guilty?Or is it evidence of Yu's guilt, confession, and atonement?Which evidence is the most favorable to Yu?

"You think Jade was there to warn them?"

"That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out."

"You didn't ask her? No, you did. You did it the Gestapo way."

Facing my ridicule, he just frowned, and immediately returned to his expressionless face. "I'm so busy I haven't had a chance to ask in person yet. But I told them to be polite and I think her explanation didn't satisfy my people."

"It doesn't satisfy you either?"

"I'm only interested in the facts. But when you look at the situation, I think it's better to leave her alone."

"What do you want to know?"

"Facts. What is she going for? Who sent her?"

I thought of Jade's aunt saying that Jade had received a call, and wondered if Schulenburg knew about that.

"You want me to..."

"I ask you to help me, and I am helping your friend."

"What if she told me what she told you? What if that was the truth?"

Schulenburg shook his head. "I'm sorry, Baron. I trust my mind, my understanding. A pregnant woman who is seven months pregnant will not go wandering alone in the street for no reason and cause quarrels for no reason. I believe there must be a reason and a master. , I just want to know that person’s name. Think about it, your friend Mr. Fu and Zhen Yuan planned to return to China together, but Zhen was pregnant, and Mr. Fu entrusted her to you, but Zhen still wanted to return to China. After the child. The German matter has nothing to do with her. We know that after 36 years, Zhen Yu has not contacted the 'Golden Violin' organization for 4 years. I guess this time it must be her former friend who asked her to meet , or ask her to remind someone, whether she knows it in advance, she is being used, I just need to know the name of that person. She is alone, she is lonely, sad, lonely, she values ​​​​friends, And when she participated in the activities of the 'Golden Violin' organization, the organization was openly legal, and she probably thinks it is still. In short, she was used by others."

I want to say that Yu will not betray her friends, otherwise she has already said that six days of intimidation and inhuman treatment, you don't need to ask me for help.But it's no use talking to him.

Schulenburg seemed to see what I was thinking, and continued: "If you think you can't betray your friends, then you don't have to. Since six days have passed, since that day, last Tuesday, the leader of the 'Golden Violin' People know that we have the whole situation, they must have taken remedial measures long ago, and whatever Zhenyu says will not do her friend any harm. I can also tell you, Baron, that we have already grasped several of the organization Members, we all know what we need to know, and we have already taken the actions we should take. No matter what Yu does, she is only responsible to herself, only for her children, and will not hurt anyone.... I don’t want Yu to do it again Go back, and I don’t want what happened today to happen again. You are her friend, baron, and Zhao entrusted them to you. You must take on your responsibilities, help Yu, protect Yu, protect Zhao’s wife, and protect their children. Birth. I need your help, Baron, Jade needs you too, give me a reason to help Jade."

I looked at the big hazy eyes hidden behind the smoke, listened to the earnest and soft words echoing in the air, and nodded deeply.My heart is touched.He is right, he knows everything, this person knows everything, not only does he know everything, but he is also considerate of others, he is very thoughtful, practical, and sincere.I suddenly had a desire to open my mouth wide, wanting to say something.But those eyes are becoming more and more hazy, and I can't see clearly.For things that I can't see clearly, I always remind myself to maintain an indifferent and alienated attitude, or forget it, and talk about it after seeing clearly.
