Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 249 Goodbye Mieko

At nine o'clock in the morning, on Xiafei Road, in front of Yisikang Apartment.

Lu Feng was dressed in formal attire, holding a souvenir in his hand, and explained his purpose to the guard at the door.

The tall Belarusian guard dialed the phone directly in the guard room and spoke in Russian that Lu Feng could not understand.

Lu Feng felt that he might never be able to learn this skill in his tongue.

While the other party was on the phone, Lu Feng also took a look at the thirteen-story high-end apartment in front of him, which was considered a relatively famous high-end apartment in the French Concession.

As a building that was completed just over two years ago, Lu Feng’s first impression of this Yisikang Apartment was that it was new.

This newness is reflected not only in the appearance of the building, but also in the overall style of the building.

Compared with the gray or white exterior walls of reinforced concrete buildings these days, this apartment has a layer of beige facing bricks on the exterior wall.

And prominent locations such as balconies are painted white, with white decorative strips hanging from the roof to the ground.

This yellow and white style makes people feel that it is much more pleasing to the eye than the houses next to it.

It’s no wonder that it has become a favorite place to live for many foreign expats.

Just as Lu Feng was looking at the apartment building, he noticed a middle-aged man walking out of a balcony on the fifth floor.

It was the Chinese-Italian, Fan Shibai.

Fan Shibai looked at Lu Feng at the door, and Lu Feng raised his hand to greet him.

Fan Shibai obviously recognized Lu Feng. He nodded, then turned to face the room and said something.

Soon, the guard hung up the phone and walked out of the guard room.

He opened the iron door and said in awkward Chinese:

"Please come in."

"Thank you."

When you walk into the gate, you are greeted by a small fountain with a sculpture of a little boy standing in the center of the fountain.

It's not the kind of standing and peeing, but holding a big fish in my arms, which feels a bit like a child in a New Year painting.

It can be regarded as a combination of earth and foreign countries, a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

After turning a corner, Lu Feng walked into the apartment building and took the elevator all the way to the fifth floor.

The door to the suite at the end of the fifth floor was open.

As soon as he walked to the door, Lu Feng saw Fan Shibai inside.

"Hello, Mr. Fan Shibai. I came to the door in a hurry. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

"Mr. Ma, you're welcome. Please come inside."

Although Fan Shibai didn't know why Lu Feng came to see him, his last meeting with Lu Feng gave him a pretty good impression of Lu Feng, so he didn't turn Lu Feng away.

Unexpectedly, Lu Feng saw another acquaintance here.

"Miss Mieko, long time no see."

Lu Feng said hello to Miezi in the living room.

Since the last time Lu Feng took Miezi to see with her own eyes how the Japanese were doing evil, Miezi had quit her job in the propaganda agency and didn't know what to do.

I didn't expect to meet her here today.

Seeing Lu Feng, Miezi's expression changed slightly, but she soon calmed down, nodded to Lu Feng and said:

"Mr. Ma, long time no see."

"Mr. Ma, please sit down. Would you like some tea or coffee?"

"Just tea, no need to bother."

"Leah, make another pot of hot tea and come over."

"Ok."

In the kitchen, a slightly thin Belarusian woman looked at Lu Feng, then turned to boil water and make tea.

Lu Feng noticed that the door of a room was ajar, and someone seemed to be looking out secretly.

Lu Feng estimated that those should be Fan Shibai's two children.

Not long ago, the Japanese released Fan Shibai's wife and children from the Northeast through exchanges with the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

After their family reunited in Shanghai, they moved into this apartment building.

For now, their family's situation should be pretty good.

"I would like to ask, Miss Mieko, what are you doing?"

Rather than looking for Fan Shibai to "consult clues", Lu Feng was more interested in the reason why Miezi appeared here.

Mieko looked at Lu Feng, hesitated for a moment and then said:

"I'm here to help Mr. Fan Shibai with his translation work."

"Translation work?" Before Lu Feng could continue asking, Fan Shibai explained from the side:

"Well, I'm going to sort out the articles I've written and then print them.

After learning about it, Ms. Mieko offered to help me translate the content into Japanese and publish it in Japan. "

Fan Shibai's tone was obviously filled with admiration.

The articles written by Fan Shibai were almost all about Japan's brutal atrocities in Manchuria, as well as various black materials exposing the Kwantung Army.

When it was published in newspapers, it was vigorously suppressed and smeared by the Japanese government.

After hearing that Fan Shibai was preparing to compile a book, the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai made efforts from all directions to try to sabotage Fan Shibai's plan.

However, with the help of left-wing groups in Shanghai, Fan Shibai finally succeeded in compiling this book "Japanese Espionage in China".

However, what surprised Fan Shibai was that shortly after the book was released, Miss Mieko came to visit her.

Fan Shibai originally thought she was looking for trouble and didn't pay much attention to her.

But after several repeated attempts, Fan Shibai finally had to have a conversation with Miezi.

It was only after this conversation that Fan Shibai discovered that this Mieko seemed indeed different from other Japanese.

Soon after careful inquiry and understanding of the specific circumstances of the characters in her book, Mieko disappeared for a while.

When she appeared again, she asked Fan Shibai to help him translate the book "Japanese Espionage in China" and prepare to get it to Japan for printing and distribution.

After listening to Fan Shibai's words, Lu Feng looked at Miezi and said after a long time:

"Thank you, Miss Mieko."

"You're welcome, I'm a reporter and it's my responsibility to report the truth to the world."

Mieko's face was full of seriousness.

Lu Feng and Fan Shibai looked at each other but didn't say anything.

They know very well that with the current publicity trend in Japan, it will be extremely difficult for this book to be published in Japan.

Even with Mieko's family background, it's the same.

But as long as someone has this intention and is still taking action, then Lu Feng and Fan Shibai are worthy of admiration.

"Mr. Ma, why did you come here today?"

After talking about Miezi, Fan Shibai asked about Lu Feng's purpose.

Lu Feng looked at Miezi, thought for a while but didn't say anything about avoiding it, and asked directly:

"Mr. Fan, that's it. I would like to ask you, did you hear anything about bacterial weapons when you were in Northeast China?"

"Bacteriological weapons?"

Fan Shibai was stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly:

"I have heard some rumors about this kind of thing, but I have never actually seen it."

What is needed is hearsay.

"What kind of rumors are they? Can you tell me about it conveniently?"

Fan Shibai looked at Lu Feng, then at Mieko, who was full of interest next to him, and then spoke after thinking about it.

The rumors Fan Shibai mentioned mainly include two things:

One was in the 24th year of the Republic of China, when the Anti-Japanese Alliance attacked the Zhongma City Prison in Beiyinhe, Wuchang County.

He heard words like "bacteria" and "poison gas" from the mouth of the secret service chief in Bingcheng.

Another thing is that the Kwantung Army issued a strange order a few years ago to purchase live rats in large quantities and forced the people to catch rats.

As for the whereabouts of these mice, no one knows.

After recording these two incidents in detail, Lu Feng deliberately brought the topic to cholera and plague.

And Fan Shibai lived up to Lu Feng's expectations and told an important piece of information.

In the first half of last year, among a group of captured resistance fighters exchanged with the Japanese, some died of cholera.

Moreover, the sudden outbreak of cholera caused huge casualties to the Anti-Union stronghold.

Hearing this, Lu Feng's eyes lit up.

This is most likely an experiment by the Japanese on the use of that poison.

After all, any new weapon must undergo actual combat testing before it can be put into use.

But this will inevitably leave traces.

The piece of yellow mud I wanted has arrived.
