Crow of the Pretender

In the small apartment not far from Hong Kong University, Bo Ning stood by the window feeling a little uneasy.Half an hour has passed since the time he agreed with Takaki Inoue.

The 15-year-old Bo Ning has grown taller and no longer looks thin, with a slight frown on his youthful face.

The white shirt is paired with black trousers. Anyone who sees it can't help sighing: "What a young man!"

"Crack!" The door slammed, and Bo Ning immediately became alert.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Xiaobai-jun, I've been late for so long!" Eighteen or nineteen-year-old Takaki Inoue entered the door sweating profusely.

Seeing Takaki Inoue heaved a sigh of relief, Bo Ning went to the door and looked outside, and saw that no one had closed the door.

"What happened, Inoue-senpai?"

Inoue spoke Japanese, and Bo Ning also spoke Japanese.

Inoue Guishu took a gulp of water when he arrived, and then he often let out a sigh: "On the way, I met a few military police who bullied a school girl from the University of Hong Kong. I...I couldn't hold back."

Bo Ning sighed upon hearing this.

Takaki Inoue came to Hong Kong with his two elder brothers, Sanshu Inoue and Akiki Inoue.Guishu is studying at the University of Hong Kong, his elder brother Shenshu is in the Shanghai Navy Department, and his second brother Mingshu is in Hong Kong.

The Inoue family did not like the war against China.Because their parents died in this war.So they joined the Anti-War League after they came to China.

Of course, Guishu's two elder brothers disagreed with his joining. One was to protect, and the other was that Guishu had an impulsive personality, and would often run up to fight with the military police who bullied the Chinese when he got hotheaded.

According to Akira Inoue, if Guishu had no brother, he would have been arrested and taken to the gendarmerie long ago.After all, even if you are a Japanese citizen, it is not acceptable to provoke the military police again and again.

"Then are you okay?" Bo Ning asked.

Takaki Inoue shook his head: "It's okay. That's right, I'll be scolded by my second brother again when I go back."

"Be careful, Senior Inoue. After all, the identities of your elder brother and second brother are also very sensitive."

Takaki Inoue scratched his head: "Understood." After he finished speaking, he took out a pocket watch from his bag and handed it to Bo Ning, "By the way, this is for you."

Bo Ning took the watch, it didn't look new.But it is well preserved, and it can be seen that the owner cherishes it very much.There is a cherry blossom on the dial, which is very delicate.

"This is?"

"Aren't you going home soon? The gift I gave you before parting. Thank you for teaching me Chinese. This watch is mine before. If you need any help when you return to Shanghai, you can bring it to my elder brother. He sees I will definitely help you." Takaki Inoue said with a smile.

Bo Ning looked at his watch and pursed his lips: "Senior Inoue also taught me Japanese."

Speaking of this, Bo Ning took out a long small box and a stack of copybooks from his bag, "This is the pen I picked, and there are also copybooks with Chinese block letters. Didn't Senior Inoue always want to learn how to write in Chinese? Just I have no chance to continue teaching you."

Takaki Inoue was very happy to see Bo Ning's gift. He liked Chinese very much, no matter it was language or characters.

"This gift is really great!" Takaki Inoue laughed.

Bo Ning returned to his residence, and he looked at the cherry blossom pocket watch in his hand, feeling warm in his heart.

The first time he met Takaki Inoue was because the military police were bullying a girl.Bo Ning didn't hold back, and Takaki Inoue followed him.

Afterwards, Bo Ning wrote a letter to the teacher, but he was scolded by Wang Tianfeng, saying that he acted impulsively.

Bo Ning was very puzzled by Takaki Inoue's behavior. Would the Japanese help the Chinese?Bo Ning asked Wang Tianfeng.

Wang Tianfeng asked him to investigate by himself. Since he had doubts, he had to confirm it by himself instead of looking for answers from others.

So Bo Ning deliberately approached Takaki Inoue, using the excuse of wanting to learn Japanese.I thought it would be difficult, but the other party agreed without even thinking about it, and said that he wanted to learn Chinese with Bo Ning.

After half a year of probing and investigation, Bo Ning knew that Takaki Inoue and his brother had joined an organization called the Anti-War League.He also established a friendship with Takaki Inoue, although Bo Ning still felt a little awkward at first.

Bo Ning wrote to Wang Tianfeng again, asking what to do next?

And Wang Tianfeng's answer was: "Ask your own heart."

From then on, Bo Ning began to make serious friends with Inoue Takaki. This Japanese boy who was a few years older than him was always quite naive and kind, sometimes a little silly, but Bo Ning didn't hate him.After studying in Hong Kong for three years, besides his classmates, Bo Ning only made a friend with Takaki Inoue.

A week later, Bo Ning walked out of the school with his luggage.He has already learned everything he can learn here. In three years, Bo Ning has completed all the courses in the school's elementary school, junior high school, and achieved excellent results.

The principal praised Bo Ning again and again, saying that it would not be a problem for such a child to go to any university in the future.

"Teacher!" Bai Ning left the school, and saw Wang Tianfeng in front of the black car at the door.

Since Parkin came to Hong Kong, Wang Tianfeng said he would come, but in fact, he only met twice in the past three years, mostly by letters.

The 27-year-old Wang Tianfeng is more calm and stern than three years ago. He is wearing a black coat and looks at Park Ning, who is already a young man.

"That's right, you've grown taller, Bo Ning." Wang Tianfeng gave a rare smile, which surprised the new junior lieutenant behind him, Guo Qiyun.

After all, since he followed the poisonous bee, he has never seen the poisonous bee smile normally at anyone except sneer and sneer.

"Teacher, shall we... go home?"

Wang Tianfeng glanced at Bo Ning, then patted Bo Ning on the shoulder: "Let's go back to Shanghai."

In the small and dark basement, there were two men wearing gendarmerie uniforms tied up. They looked frightened and uneasy, their mouths were gagged and they could only make a "woo hoo" sound.

Suddenly, someone opened the basement door, dragged them out, and threw them into a slightly dim room.

"Teacher, they..." Bai Ning frowned and looked at the Japanese military police in front of him.

Wang Tianfeng smiled strangely: "Do you still remember how your uncle and aunt died?"

"Remember..." Bo Ning clenched his fist.

Wang Tianfeng pointed to the two people on the ground: "They are the two Japanese military police who killed your uncle and aunt."

"Ah!" Bai Ning opened his eyes wide and turned to look at those two people, "They are..."

"The teacher always remembers, so when you came back this time, the teacher caught them. I will hand them over to you and handle them with my own hands." Wang Tianfeng stretched out his hand as he said, and Guo Qiyun behind him put the / gun in his hand with both hands.

Wang Tianfeng handed the gun to Bo Ning: "Take it."

Bo Ning looked at the gun in front of him, and took it silently.

"The opportunity for revenge is here, Xiao Ning. Turn around, shoot/shoot, and everything will be over." Wang Tianfeng seduced softly.

Bo Ning's hand holding the gun trembled slightly. He looked at the two gendarmes on the ground, recalled the corpses of uncles and aunts on the mass grave, took a deep breath and raised the gun to them.

Seeing the guns pointed at them, the two people on the ground trembled and struggled. Their eyes were terrified, just like the ordinary people he saw in Hong Kong when they saw the Japanese.

Bo Ning's hand holding the gun trembled, he was still a child after all, and he didn't actually know how to use a gun.

"What's the matter? Oh, look at the teacher's memory. You still don't know how to use a gun." Wang Tianfeng seemed to have really forgotten that Bo Ning couldn't use a gun. "It doesn't matter, the teacher will teach you now."

Wang Tianfeng walked behind Bo Ning, he was much taller than Bo Ning, he just held Bo Ning in his arms.Wang Tianfeng held Bo Ning's trembling hand with calloused cold hands.

"Look, Xiao Ning. This is the insurance." Wang Tianfeng whispered in Bai Ning's ear, "Just open the insurance, put your hand on the trigger, and press it—you can take revenge, it's very simple."

Bo Ning's index finger was on the trigger, and he couldn't let go. After all, he still didn't dare to kill, even if he said "you can teach me to kill" at the beginning.

"Bo Ning, they are the ones who killed your uncle and aunt, so why hesitate? Shoot, Bo Ning!" Wang Tianfeng raised his voice.

Bo Ning shuddered, besides respecting and relying on Wang Tianfeng, he was somewhat afraid of him.

Bo Ning looked at the people on the ground, he thought of the corpses of his uncle and aunt on the mass grave, Bo Ning thought that he should shoot, but a suspicion suddenly arose in his heart—these were two Japanese military policemen!

Although Bo Ning is in Hong Kong, he is not completely ignorant of the situation of the military command where Wang Tianfeng is.With the current situation in Shanghai, it is impossible for the military to kidnap two Japanese gendarmes like this.

There is a strict time for the changing of the gendarmerie. These two are still wearing gendarmerie clothes. They can't be tied up right after the changing of the guard, right?The military commander has not reached the point of frenzy and went to the gendarmerie to kidnap people.

Those two people...

Bo Ning looked at the two gendarmes from head to toe.Finally found the problem -

These two people looked wretched, with shriveled skin. This was completely different from the physical condition of the Japanese military police who ate and drank every day.

Listening carefully to their mouths gagged with rags, the few scattered pronunciations are not Japanese.

"Teacher, they are not Japanese." Bo Ning said.

After hearing this, Wang Tianfeng let go of Bo Ning's hand and straightened up: "Tell me."

Bo Ning told Wang Tianfeng his speculation, Wang Tianfeng raised his chin, and Guo Qiyun walked over and took the cloth from the mouths of the two unlucky guys.

Those two people really started to wail, saying that they are not Japanese, let them go!

"Although at first, when you held the gun/hand trembling, I really wanted to kick you, but it was expected." Wang Tianfeng glanced at Bo Ning with his hands behind his back.

Bo Ning touched his nose, but said nothing.

"Your performance just now was not bad. You didn't get carried away by hatred, and you were able to think calmly in time."

"Teacher, what if I fail to calm down and shoot/shoot?" Bo Ning frowned and looked at the two people on the ground.

Hearing this, Wang Tianfeng raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.

Bo Ning was startled, and those two people were even more frightened and closed their eyes.

However, the gun / did not go off, and the gun / had no bullets in it.

"Remember, Xiao Ning. As an excellent agent, you have to be vigilant at all times, and you have to be suspicious and vigilant about anyone's words." Wang Tianfeng put down the gun and waved his hand.

Guo Qiyun dragged the two of them out.

"Anyone, including you, teacher?" Bo Ning asked in a low voice.

"Yes..." Wang Tianfeng said in a very serious tone, "including me. The two points of suspicion are not to make you trust your comrades in arms, but to leave it to you to investigate. No one can guarantee 100% that the information will not be leaked. Is it the enemy? trap. You have to be responsible for yourself and your downline. This is my first lesson for you.”

"Yes, teacher, I understand."

Wang Tianfeng glanced at Bo Ning inexplicably.He knew that Bo Ning was a child after all, and he was too young to understand.

People only really understand something when they suffer, get hurt, or feel pain.

However, Wang Tianfeng did not want Bo Ning to suffer a loss from the bottom of his heart, because he might lose his life.

"Also, the weight of a gun with or without bullets is different. I will teach you about these later."

In June 1935, Bo Ning was sent to the Central Army Academy by Wang Tianfeng.

In August 1936, Bo Ning graduated and entered the Hangzhou Police Academy in the same year.

In 1937, the Second Songhu Battle broke out, China was defeated, and Shanghai fell completely. However, Bo Ning had just graduated from the spy class and left Hangzhou to prepare for his first mission.

The author has something to say:

Qi Jun swears that Teacher Wang and Xiao Ning are really teachers and students!Although...a little bit...but it's written like this, and Qi Jun is reluctant to change it.

Teacher Wang is really touching!

Xiao Ning's growth must be very fast, because the main plot is behind, and Qi Jun has to think about the first mission.
