Chapter 516: It’s just being a dog. I, Tiandao, can do it too!
Lin Ze did not refuse Brother Miyamoto's invitation.
After all, the two of them are good partners who work closely together. If you always refuse when someone invites you to their home for dinner, it would seem a bit unkind.
Because the weather was hot, Mieko dressed coolly and had already prepared a few side dishes.
They even went to the trouble of setting up a small charcoal stove and grilling some chicken skewers, um, they call it yakitori.
It’s not suitable to drink liquor in this hot weather, so I called someone to send me a can of Shuanghesheng Five Star Beer.
This wine is quite delicious. The hops are imported from the Czech Republic and the yeast is from Denmark. It won a grand prize at the exposition a few years ago. People in Brussels all say it is good.
It's really good when served chilled with grilled skewers.
"Mr. Lin, I've always been grateful for your care. Please have a couple more drinks today. I toast to you!"
Miyamoto was very humble, holding a large glass in both hands and took the initiative to toast.
Lin Ze was very considerate and raised his glass, saying, "We are all family, no need to be polite. Brother Miyamoto, you have worked hard too."
Mieko also drank, but she didn't use a big glass. She poured a little into a small cup and took a sip.
A small taste will help you perform better, but drinking too much may delay your work.
The sitting positions of the three people were somewhat strange, with Miyamoto sitting alone on one side, and Mieko and Hayashi Ze sitting on the other side.
Although beer can cool you down, the more you eat the skewers, the hotter you get. Mieko's delicately dressed face was covered with tiny beads of sweat. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or the heat, but her cheeks were flushed, and even her neck and collarbone were pink.
I don’t know if Miyamoto was too busy recently or what, but after drinking two glasses of beer, he couldn’t hold his liquor anymore.
She took the initiative to say, "Lin-san, I'm so sorry! I can't drink any more. My head is dizzy. I'm going to take a nap first. Mieko, please stay with Lin-san."
Mieko was busy eating the skewers and responded hesitantly.
Brother Miyamoto went back to the house with rapid breathing.
....................
Jinmen.
Office of the North China Liaison Department of the Institute of Asian Development.
This time, Tiandao did not sit upright as usual, but was half lying on the couch.
He was holding a book of unknown material in his hand and looking at it closely.
"Boom boom boom!"
Tajima put down the materials and said, "Come in!"
A young assistant opened the door, took off his shoes, walked in, turned around and closed the door.
He walked closer and knelt there respectfully.
The color of the floor where he was kneeling was darker than other places.
The young assistant knew that it was most likely stained with the blood of the previous assistant.
Thinking of this, his whole body tensed up and he could even suppress the sound of his breathing, for fear of angering Tajima Hikotaro.
"Well, have all the gifts been delivered?"
Tiandao asked the question seemingly casually, but ever since he had the intention of alienating Lin Ze, he began to look for gifts to give to Lin Ze.
The woman also looked for some, but none of them were particularly suitable. However, there were many valuable things.
Tianjin is a big commercial port, and its prosperity at that time was even comparable to that of Shanghai. There were countless big businessmen, and those people gave him countless priceless treasures in order to please him.
He selected carefully and filled a large suitcase with the items before asking someone to send it to Lin Ze.
I even wrote a letter specifically for this purpose, with sincere words, saying that due to various accidents in the past, I had some unpleasant things with Mr. Lin, and I hoped that you wouldn't mind. I sincerely hope to make peace with someone like Mr. Lin.
The assistant spoke hesitantly, but did not dare not answer.
"It was sent..."
Tajima sat up, "What did he say?"
"It wasn't Mr. Lin who collected the things. It was one of his servants, whom everyone calls Director Niu. He made a list and asked me to sign it."
Nani! ?
Tajima Hikotaro was a little confused.
What does this mean? If you accept a gift, just accept it. Why do you have to register it and ask the gift giver to sign?
Could it be that Lin Ze was going to mess with me again and make public the fact that I gave him a gift?
But on second thought, doing this would not do him any good!
Nowadays, you can create any kind of personality except that of a clean and honest person.
The whole of Pingjin is filled with either Japanese invaders or traitors. Who are you trying to show your integrity to?
If Lin Ze was really so stupid as to make such a fuss and express his opposition to such bribery, Tajima would be very happy.
Because in this way, Matsuzaki might be very satisfied, and those who are of the same status as Lin Ze would be embarrassed.
You can lick your boss, but you can't step on your colleagues to lick your boss.
The former is not a character issue, the latter is.
Tajima muttered, what on earth does this mean...
This shows the difference in history and culture between the two countries.
Even someone as smart as Tiandao couldn't quite understand this kind of thing, but this kind of handling method had been recorded in Chinese history.
Niu Saner registered the gifts sent by Tiandao, and then Lin Ze handed the book to Matsuzaki.
He said that these were all sugar-coated bullets from Hikotaro Tajima. I thought they were good things, so I accepted them, but it was not appropriate for me to keep them, so I gave them to you, so that Tajima would lose more than he gained.
Naoto Matsuzaki laughed loudly, symbolically picked one or two items, and then waved his hand: "Mr. Lin! When he gives you gifts in the future, just accept them with confidence. Don't I trust you?"
This is the thing. If he doesn't do this, Matsuzaki will find out about it later. Even though he knows that Lin Ze will not do anything with Tiandao, he will still feel a thorn in his heart. If he does this, even if Lin Ze really flirts with Tiandao in the future, Matsuzaki will still think that Lin Sang is just pretending to be nice to him!
In the Liaison Department office, Tajima Hikotaro thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news from Yamashiro?"
The assistant also became serious.
"We activated Akita Inu, and he revealed that there was a high-level spy whose files were highly confidential and he couldn't access them. But before that, the people in the Translation and Telegraph Section were often isolated, and then that person disappeared. He should have been specially protected and was only responsible for the communication of that high-level spy. At the same time, there was an additional Class C station in the Beiping area, so he guessed that this high-level spy was in Beiping!"
A top spy!
Anyone who is so valued by the Military Control Commission must have infiltrated our organization!
It could be either the security forces, the administrative committee, or even the gendarmerie headquarters!
Tajima Hikotaro thought maliciously that it would be great if this person was by Lin Ze's side, so he could take the opportunity to bring Lin Ze down.
But he also knew that this was just a thought. Lin Ze was a ruthless person, and he was very successful as a traitor. Even he himself was defeated by him...
Forget it, just don’t mention it!
In short, he must find this spy and restore his image, and then work hard to get the opportunity to report to General Sugiyama Madoka in person!
It’s just being a dog for the general. I, Tajima, can do it too!
Matsuzaki, I'll let you be proud for a while. When I accomplish a great deed, that will be the time when you lose face!
So he decisively ordered: "Contact that person, give him some information, and ask him to investigate the senior spies in Peking!"
