Chapter 777 I Help You

Junji Ito at around [-] p.m.

Bai Zeshao also left the detective team after get off work, but instead of going home, he came to Nong Liwei's residence.

When he entered the room, he also found Wang Gang there, but he didn't look too good.

"Sit down first," Nong Liwei greeted Mr. Bai Ze.

After Bai Zeshao sat down, Wang Gang also told what happened at the pier this afternoon.

After listening, Master Bai Ze said in surprise: "So, our losses are more serious than what the Japanese announced?"

"That's right, and I'm afraid the Shanghai station has lost a lot, otherwise they wouldn't agree to cooperate with us," Wang Gang said.

"Currently, what we lack most is intelligence support. Do you have any news?" At this time, Nong Liwei said.

"No." Bai Zeshao shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid that the news about this is top secret even among the Japanese."

"You have to start with Keiko Ikegami, she is your breakthrough point," Nong Liwei said cautiously.

"I know, let's do this for now. I'll go to the Japanese Military Club first." After finishing speaking, Master Bai Ze stood up and left.

Not long after, Bai Zeshao also appeared in the club.

The club is full of Japanese soldiers, except for a few big traitors, there are no Chinese at all.

Originally, with Bai Zeshao's level, he was not qualified to come here.

However, when Keiko Chigami was still in the special high school, he had brought him here several times and got him a pass.

Later, he and Ito Junji also drank here several times.

However, although Bai Zeshao came here many times, he was not very familiar with many of the layouts inside.

However, most of the people in the club were senior officers from the Japanese garrison. While wandering around casually, Master Bai Ze paid attention to the conversations of these people.

Bai Zeshao really discovered something.

All these soldiers were talking about was the gunfight that took place on the pier at noon today.

Among them, an officer who personally participated in the dock incident also gave a general account of today's events.

For a moment, it also attracted the interest of many people, and Bai Zeshao also moved his steps lightly and moved forward.

Through the officer's description, Master Bai Ze was once again certain that Yingfu Ikegami had arrived in Shanghai.

However, at this moment, Miura, who was in the extra-high class, suddenly came to the officer who was briefly describing what happened.

Then he whispered a few words in his ear, the officer's expression changed, and then he ended the previous topic.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Bai Ze felt a little regretful in his heart.

Then, he found a corner and started drinking alone.

"Captain Bai?" Not long after Mr. Bai Ze sat down, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Ito-kun, you're back." Bai Zeshao turned his head to look at Junji Ito who came over, and said with some surprise.

Today, when Bai Zeshao made a phone call to the Confidential Office of the Special High School, the other party told him that Jun Ito was not there, saying that he had returned to his hometown.

Therefore, when he saw Junji Ito here, Shirazawa was also a little surprised, and at the same time a little bit more surprised.

"Yes, I just came back this afternoon. I saw you as soon as I entered the club. Why are you sitting here alone?" Junji Ito asked curiously.

"There have been a lot of things lately, and I feel very irritable, so I came here to have a drink. The main reason is that it is very safe here," Mr. Bai Ze explained.

"Safe?" Junji Ito was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood why Mr. Shirasawa said that.

He had already heard the news about Mr. Bai Ze being assassinated, and then sighed: "Yes, it is indeed very safe here."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it by himself.

Ito Junji's state made Mr. Shirasawa frown and couldn't help but say, "Ito-kun, is there something on your mind?"

"Nothing, let's drink." Junji Ito obviously didn't want to say anything more and raised his glass again.

Because Bai Zeshao had something on his mind, he didn't ask Junji Ito any more.

Neither of them spoke again, they just hid silently in the corner, drinking continuously, which seemed out of tune with the excitement in the club.

I don't know how long it took, but there was bursts of loud shouts in the center of the club.

Mr. Shirasawa and Junji Ito also turned around and looked over. It turned out that these soldiers were comparing the number of kills they had killed.

And the people they kill are of course Chinese.

When Bai Zeshao saw that the Japanese were so unscrupulous, his face was also very unsightly. He was so angry that he withdrew his gaze.

Then, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Click!

Suddenly, there was a sound of broken glass, and Bai Zeshao turned his head to look, and found that Junji Ito smashed the glass in his hand a little angrily.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Bai Ze was really surprised.

He was understandably angry. After all, even if he surrendered to the Japanese, he was still a Chinese.

But Junji Ito is a Japanese, and even if he can't stand these behaviors, there seems to be no need to be so angry.

Therefore, Mr. Bai Ze finally asked: "Ito-kun, what is going on?"

"Hmph, these fanatical radicals of the military department, for their so-called goals, how many innocent people have been caught up," Junji Ito said bitterly.

"Did Ito-kun return to China this time? What happened?" Bai Zeshao asked tentatively.

Although Junji Ito didn't like war in the past, he would never say so in front of him.

However, being so out of character now made Mr. Bai Ze have to think more.

But Junji Ito was stunned for a moment when he heard Bai Zeshao's question, and then let out a hard breath.

Then he said leisurely: "You are right, something did happen when I returned to China this time."

"If you find it inconvenient to say it, forget it," Mr. Bai Ze said deliberately when he saw Ito Junji's hesitation.

"There's nothing that can't be said." Junji Ito sighed, picked up the wine glass on the table, took another sip of wine, and then began to tell.

"I returned to China this time because I received a letter from China. The letter was written to me by my mother."

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that the mainland was recruiting troops again, and my brother was among them."

"My being drafted into the army was already a great pain for my mother. Now that my brother is facing the same fate, my mother is even more worried."

"Unfortunately, as the eldest son in the family, I can't do anything, and my brother himself doesn't want to be a soldier."

"So, when no one was paying attention, he boarded a ship and left the country."

"Where has he gone?" Mr. Bai Ze suddenly interrupted at this time.

"I think I came to Shanghai," Junji Ito said with some uncertainty.

"With your intelligence capabilities, you haven't found out where your brother has gone." When Master Bai Ze spoke, his face was full of surprise.

He is very clear about Junji Ito's intelligence capabilities.

And this matter is related to his younger brother, so how could Junji Ito not work hard.

The final result was what surprised Mr. Bai Ze.

"Because the ship my brother boarded should be a French ship," Junji Ito explained.

In an instant, Bai Zeshao understood the key point.

The Japanese are very afraid when facing other Western countries.

"However, I have been following that ship, and it should dock tonight," Junji Ito said again.

"Then you also know where they landed. If there is anything I can help, you can just ask," Bai Zeshao said directly.

"Thank you, Captain Bai, I really need your help with something."

"Say it"

"My brother boarded the ship secretly, so when the ship docked, he would be caught by the police in the French Concession."

"As far as I know, you are very familiar with Inspector Henry from the French Concession."

"So, I want you to come forward and get my brother out. As for the cost, you don't have to worry about it."

After Ito Junji finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Shirasawa nervously.

At this moment, Bai Zeshao understood that Junji Ito appeared here today because he was looking for him, and it was not a coincidence at all.

However, in response to his request, he still said happily: "Just leave the matter to me. As for the cost, you don't have to worry about it."

"It's just, Ito-kun, even if I get your brother out, do you have a place to arrange for him?"

"And, as far as I know, the punishment for those who escaped the conscription is very severe, and it may even implicate you."

"Have you thought about how to deal with the aftermath?"

Listening to Mr. Shirasawa's question, Junji Ito smiled bitterly.

He didn't have time to think about what Mr. Bai Ze said. When he learned that his brother had left the country, he returned to Shanghai without stopping.

His most important thing at the moment is to get his brother out of the hands of the French first.

For the rest, he can only think of a way later, if it doesn't work, he might as well send him abroad.

It's just that he knows Bai Zeshao very well. Since he asked this question, he probably has some plans.

So he said in a deep voice, "Captain Bai, do you have any good ideas?"

"The matter of your brother is not a big deal to some people," Bai Zeshao said meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Junji Ito looked at Mr. Shirasawa in confusion.

"Keiko Ikegami"

"Her? This matter is really not a big deal for the Chishang family, it's just a matter of one sentence"

Junji Ito smiled bitterly, and then said self-deprecatingly: "But it's impossible, our relationship is not worthy of her doing this."

"Isn't it me anymore?" Mr. Bai Ze pointed at himself.

Looking at Mr. Shirasawa, Junji Ito was a little tempted.

Perhaps Keiko Ikegami might really be able to give Mr. Bai Ze some face. After all, the relationship between the two has always been somewhat ambiguous.

At the moment, I was also a little excited.

And Bai Zeshao has been paying attention to Ito Junji's expression, and immediately said: "I will help you, but I can't find her"

"Leave the whereabouts of Keiko Ikegami to me," Junji Ito promised.

Hearing this, Mr. Bai Ze also laughed inwardly.

He didn't expect that when he met Junji Ito today, there would be a bright future, as long as he found out the whereabouts of Keiko Chigami, he would find something.

Immediately, Bai Zeshao asked, "When will your brother's boat dock?"

"09:30"

"Then I'll go to the French Concession to find Henry now." Bai Zeshao looked at the time and said directly.

"Well, this is his photo, his name is Ito Namiji." When Ito Junji spoke, he also handed the photo to Shirasawa.

"I'm leaving first," Mr. Bai Ze said as he put away the photo, turned around and left.

Junji Ito looked at Bai Zeshao's leaving figure, took a sip of wine and left.

He was rushing to find out the whereabouts of Keiko Chigami.

Since Bai Zeshao is so enthusiastic, of course he won't hold back so much.

If he finds Keiko Ikegami earlier, his brother's matter can be resolved earlier, which will save the mother at home from worrying.

……

French Concession.

Henry is drinking wine at home, listening to music and dancing emotionally with his wife.

When I heard the knock on the door, I felt a little upset. I didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the knock on the door kept ringing.

Finally, I had no choice but to open the door.

However, when he saw Bai Zeshao outside the door clearly, he felt even more upset.

He also heard about what happened in the past few days, and he thought that Bai Zeshao, the scourge, was really dead, so he was happy for a while.

I don't want to, but in the end this guy appeared alive and kicking again.

Young Master Bai Ze at the door didn't care what Henry thought, when he saw Henry, he immediately gave him a big hug.

At the same time, he walked into Henry's house very consciously, without any embarrassment.

Henry from behind looked at Bai Zeshao's back, shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything, because he didn't want to anger this lunatic either.

Inside the living room.

Young Master Bai Ze didn't show up, picked up Henry's coffee, and took a sip: "Dear friend, long time no see."

"You should just talk about your business directly." Henry looked at Bai Zeshao's appearance, cursed the bastard secretly, and said directly.

"I just like your character Henry." Mr. Bai Ze put down the coffee in his hand and said directly: "I want you to make a profit."

Immediately, Bai Zeshao also handed over the photo.

"Who is he?" Henry asked, glancing at the photo.

"My friend's brother, named Ito Haji, smuggled you to France. The ship should have docked at this point. If he guessed correctly, he has been locked up in your patrol room," Shirasawa explained.

"Japanese?" Henry frowned.

"That's right" Mr. Bai Ze nodded.

"What is his identity?" Henry continued to ask.

Bai Zeshao knew that Henry was worried about some things, although the Japanese generally would not make trouble in the concession.

However, if something really happened, the Japanese would not be unreasonable with their barbarism.

Understanding Henry's worry in his heart, Bai Zeshao also explained: "He is just an ordinary Japanese who sneaked onto your ship in order to avoid conscription in Japan."

Hearing Bai Zeshao's explanation, Henry didn't believe it all, because he always felt that things would not be so simple.
