Chapter 384: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
The Army Hospital was not quiet at nine o'clock in the evening, so naturally no one paid attention to a little civet cat.
The door of the emergency room was opened, and the tired Dr. Kawada met several pairs of expectant eyes.
"The bullet is hitting his lungs. If he survives the high fever and infection, he may still survive."
The tired Yukiko Matsui felt a dull pain at the broken part of her arm.
He turned around and slapped the person behind him, "Waste!"
After being beaten, the man quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Ms. Yukiko, I'm really sorry. Nagano Akira said that after the boatman shouted the wind, he pretended to bite his tongue to commit suicide, so he had no choice but to..."
Yukiko Matsui had recently been exhausted by the treasures in Badaowan. When she heard that an important anti-Japanese element in the northwest had been captured, she returned overnight and snatched away this almost foolproof mission.
I was fooled today.
"Ms. Xuezi, should we interrogate Gu Donglai again..."
Matsui Yukiko was extremely intelligent. She stared at him and asked, "Are you saying that Northwest is doing this to plant Gu Donglai in the empire?"
The subordinate nodded respectfully, bearing the mark of the slap.
Yukiko Matsui took a look in the ward and knew in her heart that this was a master.
After learning that Gu Donglai had betrayed, he knew that the contact person would be killed without a doubt. In order to protect the contact person, the acting secretary pretended to betray and staged a scene of tipping off at the dock.
This not only protected the contact person, but also put Gu Donglai in an embarrassing situation.
The empire's trust in him has been greatly reduced. A traitor who is not trusted has no future.
She was now very curious about who this big shot of the Shanghai underground party was trying so hard to protect.
"Are there any suspicious people among the people who got off the ship today?" asked Yukiko Matsui.
"People in the International Settlement are not cooperating, so the Foreign Affairs Department needs to step in."
The Bund Pier belongs to the International Settlement. They are very dissatisfied with the actions of the Japanese this afternoon and are unlikely to cooperate with them.
"Notify me as soon as there is news."
Yukiko Matsui felt the wound on her broken arm was cold and painful, and she really didn't want to waste any more time here.
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, she saw a slender figure jogging towards her in the distance, with unmelted snowflakes in her black hair.
"Sakura, why are you here?"
Kobayashi Sakura's fair face was frozen red, and there were water droplets from melted snow on her long eyelashes. When she looked at Matsui Yukiko, a smile finally showed on her tense little face.
She hurriedly pulled Yukiko Matsui's arm, but pulled an empty sleeve. Yukiko Matsui's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Xiaolin Ying was unaware of this, and pulled the man to a corner before lowering her voice and saying:
"Ms. Xuezi, something happened in Badaowan."
"what?"
Yukiko Matsui's exclamation caused several people at the emergency room door to look around frequently.
"What's going on?" Yukiko Matsui asked in a low voice.
It was clearly when she left that she fished out a brightly colored snuff bottle from the water.
"It's too cold underwater. More than a dozen of the captured wax figures froze to death in the water. Now they refuse to go into the water. They are acting on impulse. The details are not clear right now."
"Baka!" Yukiko Matsui cursed, her young face full of anger.
After she finished cursing, she realized that Kobayashi Sakura was looking at her with concern.
She reached out and stroked her delicate cheek, "Sakura, don't be afraid."
Xiaolin Ying looked at her with clear eyes and held her only good hand. "Ms. Yukiko, I'm not afraid. I'm worried about you. You're still a child."
Yukiko Matsui was held in her warm and soft hands, and her hard heart softened for a moment.
The raccoon cat in the corner of the corridor looked at the two girls' backs as they left, with a strange and puzzled look in its glassy eyes.
In a car with the lights off next to the hospital, Wei Miao, wrapped in a fluffy fox cloak, slowly opened his eyes.
In the dark and quiet space, there were extremely eager eyes staring over.
"Awake?" Lu Pingsheng's throat was a little tight.
Wei Miao touched the hand warmer in his arms, sighed, and without further ado told the whole story of what he had seen.
When Lu Pingsheng heard that the boatman was still alive, for some reason, his eyes became wet and his throat rolled for a long time before he asked:
“Will penicillin solve the problem?”
Wei Miao thought for a moment and said, "Penicillin is definitely more effective than sulfa."
After listening to this, Lu Pingsheng started the car.
Wei Miao tucked his head into his fur collar and continued:
"The matter in Badaowan should be settled before the New Year, otherwise there will be more trouble at night."
"Ah."
Lu Pingsheng was obviously not interested in the Badaowan incident. At the moment, his mind was full of thinking about how to give penicillin to the boatman.
Colleagues began to pay more attention to Uncle Zeng Bao.
According to A Miao, the whole process was almost exactly as Uncle Zeng Bao had guessed.
He was shocked to realize that maybe Uncle Zeng Bao had already known about his more secret northwestern identity.
"Brother Lu, when we threw things into Badaowan, did we throw away a jade snuff bottle?"
Lu Pingsheng already had a plan in his mind, and just as he was about to relax, he heard Wei Miao's questions.
After thinking for a moment, he said affirmatively: "The artifacts I picked are all those with marks and are not easy to sell. Most of them are silver and porcelain. There is not a single jade."
Wei Miao stroked the beautifully carved hand warmer, his mind racing, "So, who put it there?"
Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao both have the answer in their hearts. The only smart person who is related to this matter is the very smart Uncle Zeng Bao.
"A Miao, what do you think he is going to do?" The car moved slowly over the snow, like a turtle crawling.
The two people in the car, one adult and one child, were lost in thought.
"So Brother Lu, should we go back and see if my gold is still there?" Wei Miao felt empty inside.
Lu Pingsheng was calmer than her, "Don't worry, no one can get in without your clubs."
Wei Miao was quite speechless, "You forgot, when we entered the cave, the clubs were still outside."
Lu Pingsheng chuckled, "Ah Miao, Brother Lu is not like you, who only cares about money."
Wei Miao curled his lips and said nothing.
As the car passed Comfort Street, the lanterns with black words on white paper made the snow look pale.
From the pub came the sounds of men shouting, women giggling, and the melodious and sad Japanese folk songs.
Wei Miao made up his mind to go back to Chrysanthemums to take a look early tomorrow morning.
The gold and silver in the vault were the reward for her hard work in digging the ground, and no one could take them away.
If Mr. Zeng took it away, she would be angry.
Wei Miao touched his bag, wondering what position the old monk held in Mr. Zeng's heart. He wondered if the two relics could help persuade him.
While Wei Miao was daydreaming, the car had already driven into Lu Pingsheng's villa.
Lu Pingsheng did not get out of the car, but lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely to Wei Miao:
"Go back and have a good rest. By the way, let Feng Zhenzhen get dressed and tell her that I'll be waiting for her in the car."
Wei Miao was just getting out of the car when he heard someone stepping on a fox cloak and fell directly into a pile of snow.
"Kekeke~~~"
Feng Zhenzhen, who was wearing a fox fur coat, saw Wei Miao's miserable appearance and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
Laba quietly walked up to Wei Miao and pulled her out of the snow.
Wei Miao picked up the hand warmer, took Laba's hand, and walked in angrily.
