Chapter 90 Dark Sword Silent 30
After confirming that Li Qinglin had no "tail" behind him, Pan Kewei led Li Qinglin into the Fuzi room upstairs.
In order to call the young man who could speak Japanese, the three of them began to check Kobayashi's belongings.
Originally, such a small thing did not require Pan Ke to do it for someone of this level. Since Nokawa recognized the wrong person last time, he had a plan in his mind, that is, to let Li Qinglin continue to pretend to be a Japanese Kobayashi and let him penetrate the Japanese. However, there is a prerequisite for the implementation of this plan, that is, this Japanese is very important or able to contact particularly important people, and only such Japanese are valuable.
After carefully examining Xiaolin's belongings, Pan Kewei was greatly depressed.
Kobayashi's items are very simple and not worth much. In addition to a few clothes sent by the army, a little savings, there are more than a dozen diaries and photo albums, as well as some documents he kept since childhood, and two large envelopes Nokawa had just handed to Li Qinglin.
Two envelopes were first opened. One was equipped with Kobayashi's service. The documents of retirement proved that from these documents, Kobayashi was just an ordinary soldier, and the highest rank before retirement was just a private. Although he was from Tokyo, he was an orphan since childhood. He was taken to the Northeast by his only uncle in 1931. Kobayashi later joined the Japanese Chinese garrison army and officially retired this year.
The second envelope encapsulated the reward paid by Sato's agency to Kobayashi, which was a stack of banknotes issued by the pseudo-Manchurian Central Bank.
Kobayashi's diary and photo album are big heads. It seems that he has a good habit of keeping diaries. His diary has been recorded since he was in junior high school until now. Kobayashi is not a person with good literary talent. He recorded the diary as a record of the diary, and it only recorded the process of an ordinary Japanese growing up from Japanese soldiers.
After reading all the things, Pan Kewei confirmed that Kobayashi was an ordinary person who was too ordinary to be more ordinary. Such a person could only be the most ordinary Japanese even if he returned to China or stayed in China. Kobayashi's identity was worthless to Pan Kewei.
Pan Ke was extremely disappointed, and he couldn't help but curse: "Ma, this little Japanese has no background and no ability, why was Tanaka selected to carry out the mission?"
Pan Kewei cursed Xiaolin and gave up on his plan to let Li Qinglin pretend to be him.
Li Qinglin heard his scolding, and thought Pan Ke was angry that he had not found any valuable clues. If he knew that Pan Kewei had such an idea, he would not have come to collect Xiaolin's belongings even if he had beaten to death today.
Li Qinglin smiled and said to Pan Kewei: "You forgot that he has specialties, that is, Mandarin and drawing skills. Kobayashi's fluent Mandarin is the reason why Tanaka chose him."
Pan Kewei nodded and said, "Yes! It's enough to perform these two tasks."
Seeing that the young man he brought was still taking the camera and photographing the pile of things, he snatched it and turned off the camera lens, saying, "What's the point of shooting this pile of garbage? It's just a waste of film! The Japanese say that our Mandarin is more authentic than ours, and that's the difference! After I go back, I'll find a good Japanese teacher for you. You will be more authentic than the Japanese in the future!"
Seeing that Pan Kewei was already trying to leave, Li Qinglin pointed to the pile of things and asked Pan Kewei, "What should I do if these things and money?"
Pan Kewei waved his hand and said, "You can do this pile of rags."
Kobayashi's items were a little savings, and Sato's agency had just sent some rewards to Kobayashi, but they were all banknotes issued by the "Manchurian Central Bank".
In June 1932, in order to economically control Northeast China and plunder economic resources from China, Japan established the "Manchurian Central Bank" in the Northeast. In 1932 alone, the puppet Manchurian Central Bank issued 320 million yuan of paper money, referred to as "BOC Certificates". It was Japan who used the issuance of currency to plunder a large amount of materials from Northeast China, thus passing the cost of war on the Chinese people, and in fact achieved the goal of "fighting war with war."
The banknotes issued by the "Manchurian Central Bank" are equivalent to a pile of waste paper locally. It was useless to collect them, so they took them out and handed them to Pan Kewei and said, "If you have a way to spend them, it's better for you to take them away. I'll pack up the rest and take them away later."
For a while, Pan Ke took the stack of banknotes and said, "Then I will accept it, just buy this outfit in front of you."
Li Qinglin and Pan Ke joked: "I will help you with work today. It would be fine if you don't pay the wages. Now I actually want me to buy clothes and shoes by myself. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
Pan Kewei also smiled and said, "If you can find a few more Japanese spies, I will give you a bonus."
Are you going to help him find a spy again? Is the money from this Kuomintang spy so easy to get?
Li Qinglin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Looking for spies is your profession! I will still farm and drive the big cart in the future and live my own little life."
While speaking, Li Qinglin had tied the pile of things. He put the package on his shoulders and then said goodbye to Pan Kewei and went home.
The street was still very lively, and Li Qinglin slowly swayed along the street. There was a radio at the door of a shop. At this time, the radio was broadcasting news. The shop turned on the radio loudly in order to attract customers.
There are two main news today. One is that the Kuomintang Legislative Yuan passed the "Draft Constitution of the Republic of China", and the radio station is now stepping up publicity to the whole country; the other is that the "**" who traveled to northern Shaanxi have "turned back" to the west under the attack of the brave national army.
This so-called "Draft Constitution" was the result of the Kuomintang Central Committee's preparation of constitutional activities since December 1932. Because it was officially announced on May 5, 1936, it is also referred to as the "Five Five Constitution Draft". Although this "Five Five Constitution Draft" has a bourgeois democratic character in terms of text and form, it actually strengthens the integration of the party and the state and safeguards individual dictatorship, which will naturally be opposed by the people. Due to the full outbreak of the War of Resistance and the subsequent civil war, this so-called "Five Five Constitution Draft" was still in the womb, and it was not officially implemented until the Kuomintang fled the mainland.
Li Qinglin paid special attention to the news of "retreat". From the analysis of the news, the Red Army entering Shanxi in the Eastern Expedition repeatedly won many battles. Chiang Kai-shek urgently ordered Chen Cheng to command the Central Army along Zhengtai Road and into Shanxi on Tongpu Road. The Central Army and the Shanxi Sui Army were about to form an encirclement of the Red Army in the Eastern Expedition. In order to avoid the outbreak of a large-scale civil war, unite all forces that can be united and accumulate revolutionary forces, from May 1st to 5th, the main force of the Red Army and headquarters personnel of the Eastern Expedition crossed the Yellow River to the west and retreated to northern Shaanxi.
Li Qinglin finally got the news from the Red Army, and the wheel of history was still moving along the established road.
When the sun sets, Li Qinglin, wearing a top hat, long gown and sunglasses, returned to Xiaoli Village with a bag on his back in the sunset.
