Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 20 Two Good Helpers

"You can recover here with me first. Your legs are broken anyway, and you won't be able to escape for a while. It's safe here. You can make plans after you recover."

"Yongsu, it's a coincidence that you're here. You're studying engineering, and your school curriculum includes teaching on the design and construction of secret passages and chambers, right?"

"Yes, this is my specialty! But I can't use it now."

"Of course it's useful! I'm planning to open a pharmacy with this house and the shop in front. My idea is to build a secret room in the pharmacy and a secret room in the house. The two secret rooms can be independent or connected, and there must be an absolutely feasible escape route. But you can't use the conventional construction methods taught in school to build the entrances, camouflage, and so on for the entire secret room and secret passage! Can you do it?"

"This house and the shop in front both have basements. Don't you want to use them? We Fengtian people like to dig a basement under our houses."

"A basement known to everyone, is that still a secret room? At most, it's simply decorated to be a pseudo-secret room to confuse the enemy!"

"How about this, you two? I'll give you both the front shop and the back room. I'll open the front as a pharmacy, and I'll use the back room to perform surgeries and save lives, just like what I did with Liu Junze this time. The basement will be used as a warehouse. The doors to both the back room and the basement must be concealed, and the back room must have at least one quick escape route."

"The back room is for living, and the basement is also for living, so there's no need to hide anything. The three of us will live in the back room, and we'll build another room in the basement, and also make a secret room in the back room."

Zhou Yongsu wanted to hit someone after hearing this! You are really rude!

"Do you think I made this for my own use?" Seeing Zhou Yongsu's eyes, Chen Jiehua understood his thoughts.

After saying this, Chen Jiehua took out another bundle of Japanese yen and placed it on the table. "Take these for now, but when renovating the shop and this house, remember to do the normal renovations during the day, and try to do the renovations after dark. And don't make too much noise. These are your specialties, so I won't ask any more questions."

"Find your Army Academy diploma and keep it with you. It's more useful than you think. If the Japanese military police arrest you or harass you, you can basically get away with it by showing it! At least that's the case in Japanese-occupied territory."

"You, Zhou Yongsu, need to review what you learned in school and figure out how to do tracking, stalking, and counter-tracking. What you did this afternoon definitely won't work! You were following me! I spotted you the moment I left the house! Think about it, if it were any other Japanese officer, you would have at least used half of the ten tortures by now."

"I was just anxious to save Junze, I didn't think too much about it!"

"You're still making excuses!"

Liu Junze on the bed couldn't bear to watch it anymore and winked at Zhou Yongsu.

"Okay, it's getting late. You're all smart people, you'll understand it immediately. Just take your time to figure it out."

"Winter in China is too cold. Yongsu, go get some beds and bedding tomorrow. Don't burn charcoal in the house, but you can set up a charcoal burning area in the shop in front. I'll stay in a hotel for the night."

After saying this, Chen Jiehua went out directly and walked towards the hotel where he stayed last night, thinking as he walked.

Even if headquarters finds out and asks about these two students, there's proof they're from the 17th Army Academy class, and headquarters has their records on file, so there's no problem. But I haven't told them anything else yet. Let's observe for a while to avoid ending up like Zhao Yiyue, and end up in a passive position. As for renovating the house and shop, let's just give Zhou Yongsu some practice. If it works, I'll bring him along. The selection and renovation of safe houses requires people, and we'll need them more in the future. Asking strangers isn't as reliable as asking two classmates, and classmate relationships are a natural camouflage!
In addition, looking at Liu Junze, he would rather have his legs broken and almost die than betray and frame Zhang Xiaoliu. This shows that Liu Junze's character is also fine.

It would be a happy thing if you could gain two capable partners right after returning to China!
On the other side, the Kwantung Army Headquarters compound.

After killing the man, Chen Jiehua just left without burying him. But he couldn't just leave Sakurada Takeshi's body in the compound, right?

After the audience left, Class 2 was responsible for collecting the bodies and cleaning the ground. Kawamoto Daisaku figured out the whole story, first gathered the interrogation class together and gave them a lecture, got Liu Junze's interrogation records, and then went upstairs to report to the commander and the chief of staff. The chief of staff also had to write a report to report to the headquarters.

The Chief of Staff received a reply from the headquarters with just six words: appease Aoki Qiao
Chief of Staff Saito Tsune was confused. This new recruit killed a colonel on the second day of reporting for duty, and the headquarters only responded with these six words?
"What's this Aoki Takashi's background?" Saito spent the better part of the night asking several friends at headquarters. He was shocked to learn: Aoki Nobuzumi's grandson! The new Emperor and Empress' cousin! The Emperor bestowed Aoki Takashi upon him, and the Empress personally named him the Shimazu God of War!
The key is that they have connections in the United States! They have connections with American pharmaceutical manufacturers. The last batch of aspirin that just arrived was obtained from them! This is the most real thing!
What the hell, what the hell, a bunch of blind people, how could they have offended this ancestor! So Saito Tsuneya went to give the interrogation class a lecture!
The next day, Qingmu Qiao went to work. From the moment he entered the gate, he was greeted with "Hello, Mr. Qingmu!" and other respectful greetings one after another!
Become famous in World War I!
When we got to Class 1 on the third floor, all the colleagues came up to greet us admiringly, which was really a great honor for Class 1! The beautiful office girl Haruko clung to Aoki Qiao's arm and refused to let go!
That morning, Chief of Staff Tsune Saito personally summoned Aoki Takashi and handed him the interrogation records, stating that the incident was a private operation by Sakurada and that the interrogation would not be recorded, thus clearing Liu Junze. Since Sakurada Takeshi was already dead and the Chief of Staff had personally intervened, Chen Jiehua, no fool, immediately thanked the Chief of Staff, and the matter was put to rest.

In Chinese cities, what spreads the fastest? Rumors and gossip!
Zhou Yongsu was out purchasing supplies during the day when he heard from the people that a shocking life-and-death showdown had taken place in the compound of the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters last night!

A newly arrived Japanese lieutenant colonel used just one blow to chop Colonel Sakurada Takeshi in half, and there was no blood on the knife after the chop! So cool!

In the end, a new soldier killed Japanese Colonel Sakurada Takeshi with a knife for a beautiful woman!
Zhou Yongsu asked around and found out that the stories were varied and the causes were different, but the result was the same: Sakurada Takeshi was dead, and someone saw Japanese soldiers carrying the body in a coffin out of the compound and loading it onto a ship back to Japan!
Zhou Yongsu returned to Qingmu Qiao's house and excitedly told Liu Junze the news. They both wiped away tears with excitement!
It must be Qing Mu Qing Xuan! He came back last night with a knife in his hand. I even smelled blood, but I didn't pay attention at the time because I thought it was my own blood.

But he sought justice for me last night by killing Sakurada Takeshi! Wasn't he afraid of the military's punishment? Why would he do this? And he didn't even tell anyone about it!

The two of them discussed quietly while decorating the house, feeling uneasy, afraid that Qingmu Qingxuan would not come back! They were really afraid that he would not come back! Otherwise, why would he give us the house and so much money?
The two people waited anxiously for a whole day, and in the evening, Qingmu Qingxuan finally came back!
Why are these two people looking at me so excitedly? Chen Jiehua felt a little uncomfortable and looked at them in confusion, "What are you two doing?"

"You went back to the headquarters last night to kill Sakurada Takeshi?" Liu Junze asked in a trembling voice, leaning sideways and supporting his upper body with one hand. If he got an immediate affirmative response, he would probably kneel down!
Chen Jiehua had already seen Liu Junze's posture, so he did not answer directly. Instead, he turned around to close the door, walked to the bed, and asked Liu Junze to sit down.

"Just sit down and recover. It's just killing a colonel, don't take it so seriously."

Zhou Yongsu saw everything that Qingmu Qingxuan did. Such a thoughtful person, taking care of Liu Junze to the point of being meticulous! There was no need to think too much!
When Chen Jiehua and Liu Junze were talking, Zhou Yongsu next to them knelt down!

"Hey! Yongsu, what are you doing?!"

"Qingmu Qingxuan! Liu Junze and I have discussed this! Just because of your style of doing things, Liu Junze and I are willing to follow you! We don't care if you are Qingmu Qingxuan or Chen Jiehua! We don't care if you are Chinese or Japanese! We don't care if this is a self-torture tactic! Even if it is a self-torture tactic, we will accept it!"

Holy crap! Killing Sakurada Takeshi has this benefit! I was just thinking about how to recruit these two students as assistants, and they actually offered themselves up!
Chen Jiehua turned to look at Liu Junze, and Liu Junze nodded heavily with excitement in his eyes!
"Okay, since you two have decided, I won't be pretentious. I also need an assistant!"
