Chapter 224: On the Train
Sakurako Ikeuchi must be on a secret mission, and this mission is related to this person named Ozaki, but this Ozaki is Japanese.
Why did she attack a Japanese?
That's what he couldn't figure out.
But it's certain that there must be something in this suitcase that interests her in this Ozaki carry-on, and what it is is unknown.
Sakurako Ikeuchi should have wanted to start in the hotel, but I guess I didn't find the opportunity, so I thought of asking him for help, but she came out to perform the task alone, and she didn't even bring a helper.
I'm afraid this task is also extraordinary, otherwise, she wouldn't have had that agreement with him.
In any case, he can't refuse Sakurako Ikeuchi, and this is also a good opportunity, if he can take this opportunity to gain Sakurako Ikeuchi's trust, it will also be beneficial for him to lurk in No. 76.
Fortunately, he didn't take what Chen Mingchu gave him with him, if Sakurako Ikeuchi found out, it would be a big trouble, maybe she wouldn't care about this.
But who knows what will happen to her after she knows?
Let Liang Xueqin return to Shanghai with evidence, even if his identity is exposed, he can ensure the safety of those "evidence".
There is one day left in the Mission's activities in Nanjing, and tomorrow afternoon it will return to Shanghai by train.
Chen Miao deliberately chose the group that was active with Ozaki, and along the way, he was observing this person, this person was indeed very vigilant, he carried a small suitcase with him, and almost never left his body.
Take it with you wherever you go, and don't let anyone touch you when you eat or go to the toilet.
His behavior naturally aroused the curiosity of his companions, and his explanation was that the suitcase contained confidential documents from the "Manchurian Railway Investigation Department", and he must not make any mistakes, and he must carry them with him.
The explanation is reasonable, important documents and materials do need to be properly kept, and once lost, the custodian will be severely punished.
In addition to this incomprehensible behavior, others are still very kind and talkative, and at lunchtime, Chen Miao also talked to him for a few words, and they knew each other.
At around 5 p.m., the delegation left Nanjing and boarded a train to Shanghai.
Although Chen Miao, the reporters who followed the interview all the way, were also sleepers, relatively speaking, their conditions were much worse, and they were four people in a room.
The observation group got on the train in advance, and then they and ordinary passengers, Liang Xueqin and they also took this train, but they had no chance to sit in a sleeper, so they could only buy a hard seat.
It is an eight-hour drive from Nanjing to Shanghai, and it is almost there when I wake up, but when I arrive at Shanghai Station, it is not yet dawn, and it is estimated that I will have to wait until dawn to return to the concession.
Chen Miao grabbed a place in the lower berth in advance, opened the window, and saw a long queue waiting at the ticket gate to get on the bus.
There are a lot of people, and the speed can't be fast at all.
In the crowd, he saw Liang Xueqin and his party, carrying four or five boxes and a basket of roses, which he bought for her last night, she was reluctant to throw them away, and took them back to Shanghai together.
Seeing this scene, Chen Miao couldn't help but feel a trace of indescribable sweetness in his heart, although the environment in which he lived was dangerous and harsh, as long as he could be with his beloved, he would have infinite courage to face it.
The crowd kept moving forward, and Liang Xueqin and the others quickly passed through the ticket gate and began to rush towards their respective carriages.
"What are you looking at, Sanshui-kun?" Xiao Yuan came over curiously, this guy had to share a carriage with him, changed places with another reporter, and slept on his top bunk.
"It's nothing, I'm wondering, in your Japan, is this the scene of ordinary people taking trains?"
"It's similar, but theirs is much cleaner than you Chinese." Taro Obuchi replied very seriously.
"yes, what's the reason for that?"
"This has to do with the quality of the people...... "Obuchi is very happy, someone is willing to listen to him, he is a person who likes to talk loudly.
In the accompanying press corps, Chen Miao was the one who was willing to discuss the topic of the differences between China and Japan with him, and other people were either unwilling to deal with him, or they didn't dare to have an equal dialogue with him, and always agreed with him, only Chen Miao would argue with him from time to time.
This is also the reason why he likes to be with Chen Miao, this kind of improvised patchwork activity, of course, has to find someone to talk to.
While speaking, the other two roommates came, looking at the outfits, they were obviously also Chinese, and they saw that Xiao Yuan actually had such a good relationship with Chen Miao, and there was obviously a trace of respect in their eyes.
We've been together for so many days, and we naturally know each other.
Obviously, there were two factions in this small sleeper room, one was Chen Miao and Xiao Yuan, and the two were chatting as if no one was around.
The other group was the two people who came in later, each lying on the bed, one closed his eyes to recuperate, and the other, after putting down the suitcase, took out a notebook, and recorded something in the notebook by the light in the car, and neither of them paid attention to each other.
"Sanshui-kun, where did you go last night, but I heard that you came back late last night?"
"It's nothing, I just haven't been to Nanjing for a long time, and I went to walk around the Qinhuai River." Chen Miao replied perfunctorily.
"You're looking for a girl, aren't you?"
"Xiao Yuan-kun, you think of me too vulgarly." Chen Miao snorted in disdain, then pulled the quilt and pillow, pillowed under him, closed his eyes, and lifted Erlang's legs.
"Why, haven't you thought about it?" Xiao Yuan didn't seem to intend to let him go.
"I've been tired of interviewing for the past few days, and I have that thought, and I'm thinking about how to communicate with the newspaper after I go back." Chen Miao said.
"Yes, I'm going to think about it too."
……
The train finally started, nearly half an hour later than the scheduled time, because of the Mission, the train not only increased the security force, but also added a dining car, separating the ordinary dining car from the special dining car for the Mission, and delaying the time with ticket inspection and security checks.
Ordinary passengers are not eligible to go to the special dining car for meals and consumption, only the observer group and the accompanying reporters, as well as some people with special certificates on the bus.
"Sanshuijun, let's go, let's eat." In a daze, he heard a voice calling him, and when he opened his eyes, it was the abyss on the upper bunk.
"What time is it?"
"At seven o'clock, the dining car starts at half past six, and we are already half an hour late." Xiao Yuan said in a hurry.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom and wash my face first." Chen Miao got up, rubbed her face and said.
"Hurry up, it's too late, and the delicious food will be gone." Xiao Yuan urged, he was right, the ingredients prepared on the train are limited, if they are ordered by the people in front, then if they go to the back late, they will naturally not be able to eat.
"Then you go first, I'll be there in a moment." Chen Miao deliberately dropped a position, he had to take a look, this Ozaki was not in the carriage, but he promised Sakurako Ikeuchi that he would cooperate with her actions on the train.
Of course, the best chance is in the dining car, but if that doesn't work, there is a backup plan, and the only way to do it is to do it in the car.
"Okay, then hurry up, I'll order food first." Xiao Yuan left Chen Miao and went to the dining car in front.
Chen Miao opened the door of the bathroom, walked in, and after solving the physiological problem, he turned on the faucet, rinsed his face, and put on his glasses.
The carriage where Ozaki lives is a room for two people, which is much more comfortable than their quadruple room, with one bed per person and a bedside lamp.
When he got on the bus, he missed meeting Sakurako Ikeuchi and told him the car number where Ozaki lived.
Chen Miao looked for them one by one.
Some carriage doors are open, others are closed, while Ozaki's is in the No. 5 carriage, and when Chen Miao passes by, the door is closed.
There were police officers patrolling back and forth in the carriage, and Japanese soldiers with guns on their backs, Chen Miao could only stop for a moment at the door of the No. 5 carriage by smoking.
Although I couldn't go in and investigate, I was basically sure that there was no one inside.
Ozaki is not in his own car, so it is only in the dining car, Chen Miao smoked a cigarette while thinking about what to do next.
Walking through the dark corridor, Chen Miao pushed the door and walked into the restaurant.
The restaurant was very lively, there were people in almost every seat, Chen Miao walked forward slowly, and the first thing he saw was Sakurako Ikeuchi who had turned into a waiter in the dining car.
She also made some disguises, for fear of being recognized.
Looking at her skillful appearance, you know that she has done such a job before, otherwise, a new hand would not be able to do this.
"No. 7, the suitcase is on his left hand side of the carriage." Ikeuchi Sakurako also saw Chen Miao, walked past him with a tray, and lowered her voice to inform.
"Find a way to make the seat behind him vacate for me." Chen Miao said.
"Hmm." Ikeuchi Sakurako glanced at Chen Miao, a little puzzled, but still nodded and agreed.
Sakurako Ikeuchi still has this ability, and after walking over and talking to the guest sitting behind Ozaki, the guest really gave up his position.
Chen Miaoqi seized the opportunity and walked over and sat down.
"What do you want to eat, sir?"
"A salmon and cheese spring roll, charcoal-grilled beef short ribs, tuna hand rolls, seaweed sushi, and sake." Chen Miao commanded.
"Okay, wait a minute." Sakurako Ikeuchi agreed.
Chen Miao saw Xiao Yuan, but there were already several familiar friends sitting beside him, so he naturally didn't need to go over to join in the fun.
The person who ate with Ozaki was also a member of the observation group, Kihisa Ogura, who was a financial expert, and the two ordered seven or eight dishes, chatting while eating, and they were very harmonious.
……
"What's the matter, what I want is salmon cheese spring rolls, what are you giving me, and also, this charcoal-grilled beef short rib, so hard, how can you let me eat it......"
Chen Miao picked up the dishes on the table and angrily smashed them in the face of the waiter in the dining car.
"Sir, you are angry, I will change the plate for you......" The waiter of the dining car who was called over was stunned for a while, and before he could understand it, he was dumped with vegetable soup.
"This gentleman, the dish was delivered incorrectly, and it is not to your taste, you can't do it, right?" Seeing this, Ozaki stood up angrily, turned around and questioned.
"I'm teaching the waiter who did something wrong, what's the matter with you?" Chen Miao snorted coldly, with an unforgiving face.
"Bastard, I order you to apologize to this young lady!"
"Command me, what right do you have to command me?"
"I know you, you're not Japanese, you're Chinese......" Someone suddenly pointed at Chen Miao and shouted.
What, Chinese?
Dare to ride on the head of the Yamato nation.
As soon as I heard that Chen Miao was Chinese, he was still playing tricks on the train and bullying the Japanese dining car waiters on the train, and suddenly the Japanese in the entire dining car were in a commotion.
And Kihisa Kokura, who was sitting opposite Ozaki, also stood up and walked over to support his friend, but at this time, a hand quietly reached over, quietly dropped a bag from Ozaki's suitcase, quickly stuffed it under the dining car, and quickly left while the chaos.
