Crow of the Pretender

Nanjing……

After the fall of Nanjing, two years after the people of Nanjing experienced a bloody massacre, the city gradually returned to normal, and there were more people on the streets.

But the hell-like picture two years ago will not disappear from the hearts of Nanjing people. They have become numb from fatigue and fear.

From Xinjiekou to Zhongshan Street, there are ordinary homes.Here, a household is surrounded by familiar neighbors, and the surrounding small vendors are all fixed points.

Mingtai and Yu Manli were condescending, on the roof of a house, looking at the husband and wife in a small shop across the street from the sight of scopes and binoculars.

The couple, who appear to be in their early thirties, are affable.People around greeted them whenever they passed by.

And this couple is the target of Mingtai and Yu Manli's mission this time - Mrs. and Mrs. Zhang.

"Manli, are we really going to kill them? They look like an ordinary couple, right?"

Mingtai looked at the couple through the scope, they were diligently busy with the work in hand, he had doubts in his heart.

A little beggar ran over, and the wife took a bun from the steaming steamer and handed it to the child.

"This is our task, and we must complete it." Although Yu Manli couldn't bear it, she still felt that she should complete the task according to the order.

"But...they don't look like bad guys? Could it be that the teacher made a mistake?" Mingtai originally thought that he was here to kill the Japanese, but he never thought that the target of the mission was an ordinary couple.

Yu Manli looked at Mingtai, she saw the unbearable and soft heart in his eyes, she pursed her lips: "If you don't want to do it, I'll do it."

"Manli. Wait." Mingtai stopped Yu Manli from holding the gun, "We are here to kill the Japanese, and we shouldn't point our guns at civilians. I...I don't want to do this mission anymore. "

After hearing this, Yu Manli was surprised.

"Do you want to give up the mission?" Yu Manli hesitated, "But we are soldiers, and soldiers should follow orders. Besides, Instructor Su and Teacher...how should we explain it?"

Mingtai looked at the couple again, and his eyes became firm: "But I don't want to carry out this kind of order that hurts ordinary people. Don't worry, Manli, if they pursue it, I will bear it alone. Anyway, I started the action plan." /Gun, you investigate. If you can’t blame you, just say you can’t stop me.”

"What are you talking about! Mingtai! We are life and death partners, how can I let you bear it alone! But, have you really... thought it out?" Yu Manli asked seriously.

Mingtai looked at Yu Manli and felt a little ashamed of his partner, and he would definitely be punished after returning home.

"I, I've made up my mind!" Mingtai gritted his teeth and said.

Yu Manli smiled: "Okay. Then I will bear the consequences with you."

Mingtai and Yu Manli packed up their things, left as quietly as when they came, and returned to the place where they stayed.

As soon as he entered the door, Mingtai saw that Bo Ning had changed out of his suit and was wearing a dark leather coat. He was sitting on the sofa with a lighter in his hand, exuding a cold and stern aura that Mingtai had never felt before.

"I'm back. Is the mission complete?" Bo Ning asked without looking up.

Mingtai and Yu Manli looked at each other, and he replied, "We have given up on the mission."

Bo Ning's hands that were playing with lighters stopped, the atmosphere froze, and no one spoke.

There seemed to be a chill in the air, Mingtai felt a little weak in his heart, swallowed secretly, and Yu Manli hid behind Mingtai.

"You guys, give up?" Bo Ning slowly raised his head, his previously indifferent eyes were now full of coldness.

"Yes! It's impossible for me to point my gun at an innocent person!" Mingtai puffed out his chest in awe-inspiring manner.

"Innocent people? Heh!" Bo Ning almost laughed angrily when he heard that, he stood up and walked to Mingtai, "Have you thought about the consequences?"

"Of course! I've made up my mind, so I will take it on myself!" Mingtai replied.

Bo Ning's expression flickered, he stopped talking, and after glancing at Yu Manli, he was about to leave.

Mingtai was taken aback for a moment, he seemed to have seen the flash of disappointment in Su Cheng's eyes just now.

"You stay here honestly, wait for me to come back, and leave for school." Bo Ning's voice sounded like icicles from the door into the ears of the two people in the room.

Bo Ning's face was sullen. He thought that Mingtai's mission might be slow, he might miss it, he might be very angry when he came back, and he would question him loudly.But he didn't expect that Mingtai would give up the mission directly!

This is ridiculous!As a soldier, I regard orders and tasks as nothing.No investigation, no suspicion, wasted half a day, only brought back a result of "abandoning the mission"!

Could it be that I saw the wrong person?Did the teacher see the wrong person?Did you see the wrong person?Bo Ning thought, maybe Mingtai is not something to make at all?

He is just a naive young man from a rich family, that bit of patriotic blood may be just the insignificant influence of the people around him, or it may just be the result of his vigorous energy at this age.He doesn't know what patriotism is at all, it's just a young man's ideal heroic plot!

Bo Ning is really disappointed with Mingtai at this moment, and it is the same with Manli.

As Mingtai's partner, she did not try to dissuade her, nor did she choose to persist in completing the task when Mingtai gave up, but let it go, which is no different from watching her partner die!

It was not difficult to kill the couple. In fact, the most difficult thing was the process of obtaining this information.

Parkin moved his hand at dusk, this is the moment that belongs exclusively to the black crow.When the couple closed the store, Bo Ning entered the store like a ghost, and under the astonished eyes of the couple, he shot two shots and ended their lives.

The next day, when their bodies were found, there was chaos, the police, gendarmerie and people from the special high school were all present.And Bo Ning, Ming Tai and Yu Manli were already on the train back to school.

Special training class...

In the director's office, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

The three of them had changed back into military uniforms.

Wang Tianfeng sat in front of the table, staring at Mingtai expressionlessly. If eyes could kill, Mingtai would be a corpse now.

"You have given up the mission." This was a declarative sentence, but it made Mingtai and Yu Manli shiver.

But the young master still looked firm at this time: "Yes, teacher. I don't want to kill innocent people!"

Wang Tianfeng smiled sinisterly: "You still feel very proud of yourself, don't you?"

Mingtai didn't speak, but this was already acquiescence.

"Su Cheng, let him see if he has the right to be proud." Wang Tianfeng said coldly.

Bo Ning walked up to Mingtai and Yu Manli, slowly opened a file bag, and took out the photos inside: "Otani Haruko, female, 28 years old, came to China in 1931, a major intelligence officer of the Japanese Special High School, a senior lurker Spy; Benshang Takato, male, 29 years old, came to China in 1937, a major intelligence officer of the Japanese Special High School, and a senior latent spy."

The two photos were held up in front of Mingtai and Yu Manli. When seeing the people in the photos, Mingtai's eyes widened in shock, and Yu Manli's face turned pale.That was exactly what they had been tasked with before, the couple.

"The tasks of these two people in China include instigating rebellion, lurking to steal information, and tracking down anti-Japanese elements. At about the end of June 1938, the Headquarters of the Special Higher Education Department secretly sent two people to Nanjing to secretly lurk, and formed a "fishing team" to specialize in trapping activities in Nanjing The anti-Japanese fighters and even Chinese agents, the team code name, Bobcats. "

Bo Ning's tone didn't fluctuate, but every sentence hit Ming Tai's heart like big stones.

"The "Lynx" group pretended to be a couple surnamed Zhang, they could make friends with the neighbors around them, and they behaved enthusiastically and kindly.They showed their hatred of the Japanese on the grounds that their children were killed by the Japanese.

They never mind showing their closeness to anti-Japanese fighters, and have expressed their hope that they can help those people.As a result, some people who didn't know fell into the trap and ruined their own and even the lives of their companions! "

Bo Ning raised his tone of voice at the end, Mingtai finally staggered a step, and almost sat down.

He saw the photos of those anti-Japanese people who were killed by Bo Ning who fell on him, and it was like a slap in the face.

"I... I don't know about them, but it's not in the information. I..." Mingtai stammered, a little trying to quibble, feeling grievance and guilt overflowing from the bottom of his heart.

"I don't know? It's not in the information? Haha, it's so funny!" Wang Tianfeng stepped forward and looked at Mingtai like an angry lion, "Have you returned everything you learned at school to your instructor? You don't know Investigate! You should investigate when you start to doubt!

Find out where they go, what they do, and who they interact with!Even if you give up the first time, what about after that?

I haven't clearly given the time limit for the mission, why don't you check it out!On the contrary, he gave up the mission in a majestic and dignified posture! "

Mingtai had nothing to say and lowered his head.

"You were just fooled by false appearances. Do you know how many patriots they killed? You don't know anything, but you dare to ignore military orders, give up the mission privately, and you can't even produce decent evidence when you come back. Just one ridiculous, self-righteous remark! Are you worthy of being a soldier! Are you worthy of this uniform!"

"Do you know what this uniform means? When you wear it, you must be ready to fight and sacrifice for the country and the people! You don't know what patriotism is, and you are nothing like those so-called literati who only talk about military affairs in newspapers." The difference, I'm afraid you are just moving yourself in your patriotic feelings from the beginning to the end?"

Wang Tianfeng grabbed Mingtai's collar and yelled. Finally, he pushed Mingtai away with a disappointed tone: "You go. Get out of here."

Mingtai was stunned, and looked at Wang Tianfeng in disbelief, seeing his disappointed expression, which was the same as Su Cheng's expression at that time.

Yu Manli didn't expect that she was standing aside, feeling cold.

"Let's go. Don't you already have the heart to go? Maybe I was wrong. You can't bear the responsibility of a soldier, and you can't bear the weight of this military uniform. You...Young master, you are not suitable for this place. "Wang Tianfeng didn't say the word "deserter", "Qiyun, send him away."

"Wait, teacher. You can't completely deny me just because of one mistake!" Mingtai was a little anxious, he was very proud, and he might not care if others praised him.But if others say he can't do it, he will refuse to accept it.

"One mistake? Then do you know what consequences will be brought about by your flirty "one mistake"! "

Wang Tianfeng pointed back at Bo Ning, "Because you gave up the task easily, Instructor Su had to clean up for you. Have you ever thought about whether Instructor Su will be in danger?

You don't!This time there is Instructor Su, what if there is no one?Then there will be such a task in the future?Let those Japanese spies continue to kill our comrades-in-arms and compatriots! "

Mingtai was in a daze, unable to utter a word, and was taken away by Guo Qiyun in a daze.

Only Yu Manli was left in the office, Wang Tianfeng looked at her, his tone was soft but almost devilish: "You know the consequences, why do you let it go?"

Yu Manli lowered her head and flinched.

"You're in love with him, aren't you?"

Wang Tianfeng's words were like thunder, exploding in Manli's heart, she raised her head in panic, and looked at Bo Ning as if asking for help.

Bo Ning was also taken aback by the teacher's words for a moment, and looked at Yu Manli with complicated eyes, he was always more partial to Manli than Mingtai.

After all, he had taken care of Yu Manli like a younger sister for several months. He knew very well that this little girl lacked love. As long as he treated her a little better, she would be easily satisfied.

As for Mingtai, although he is a young man from a rich family, he has a natural gentleness and kindness in his bones. His care for Manli inadvertently can easily touch this girl's heart full of scars.

"Teacher..." Bo Ning called out softly.

Wang Tianfeng paused, looked back at Bo Ning, and then looked at Yu Manli: "This is very good. However, whether you can continue to get better depends on whether Mingtai will come back before dawn. The teacher will help you Let's see if Mingtai has you in his heart."

After all, Wang Tianfeng waved his hand, and the soldiers took Yu Manli down.

Bo Ning was silent for a while and said: "Teacher, I didn't expect Mingtai to give up the task directly."

After hearing this, Wang Tianfeng smiled wryly: "I didn't expect that either."

"Mingtai, will you come back?"

"He will..."

Although Wang Tianfeng answered in the affirmative, he was also prepared. If Mingtai really left like this, then he would let go and let Mingtai return to Viper to be his young master.

Otherwise, forcing them to stay will only add new graves to old ones.But if Mingtai comes back, then Wang Tianfeng will train him more severely, let him understand his mission, and make him the most important chess player in that plan!
