Beacon 1937

Morning, February [-], [-]

According to the custom here, Xiang Yinglan's funeral was held three days after her death.

There was no rain on this day, and the sun was obscured by clouds, making the temperature low.Koji Ito ordered someone to park the car on a street corner slightly away from the cemetery, not too close, because there were quite a few people who came to the funeral, and many of them were prominent figures in Shanghai.No matter what her status was, her death was inseparable from the Japanese. In order not to embarrass the doctor beside him, he really felt that he had done his best and considered it quite thoroughly.He would not go in with Aiwen, only let Tanaka follow closely behind.Almost all of those people knew Koji Ito, but few remembered Shuichi Tanaka.

"Doctor, you'd better give up the idea of ​​running away, my adjutant will watch you."

"..." Ai Wen wrapped his cashmere scarf and got out of the car without a word.His complexion hasn't been good for the past two days, but it's not too bad either. He honestly stays in the mansion more and more taciturn day by day.Every night when Ito Koji hugged him in his arms, kissed and bit him, he would not resist.However, it made people even more uneasy, always feeling that this American doctor would disappear in a flash when the time was right.

Ivan, who was dressed in black, walked towards the opposite cemetery, and Hideo Tanaka, who was also dressed in black, lowered the brim of his hat to cover most of his face and followed closely behind.

Xiang Yinglan was not yet married to Frank, so the funeral was carried out in full accordance with the customs here, and the remains could not be transported back to the Eliade family cemetery.

Frank still kept himself clean and decent, but with a scruffy beard and sunken eyes, he looked much older.He shook hands politely to all the people who came to express his condolences, and he did not cry but it was better than crying.It wasn't until Ai Wen walked in front of him that the French nobleman had a different reaction: "..." He wanted to say something to his friend, but when he caught a glimpse of Tanaka Xiuyi who was at the side, he frowned and hesitated to speak .

Aiwen is very unfamiliar with these people who came to the funeral... except Boss Yan.The moment he saw the Chinese businessman, his dull blue eyes flashed again, and it was fleeting, because Adjutant Tanaka behind him would not let him get close to anyone other than Frank.

As soon as Boss Yan saw Tanaka Hideichi, he realized that he couldn't get close to the American doctor, so he nodded politely to Ai Wen.

When the funeral was coming to an end, the sky began to drizzle with rain. The rain was not heavy but very dense, and soon wet Ivan's hat and coat.

"Doctor, go back to the car!" Hideichi Tanaka, who had been silent all this time, suggested.

Ivan looked at Frank who was not far away, and walked out of the cemetery helplessly.

"Ewen!" His friend suddenly stepped forward and stopped them, "You don't have to be manipulated by them at all, follow me back to the mansion."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Iliad. The doctor negotiated the conditions with us, and he must work for our Great Japanese Empire!" Tanaka Hideichi stood in front of the silent Aiwen. In fact, his voice was not loud, but in this The solemn cemetery has become the focus of attention.

"Conditions? Ha! Yinglan has already died under your wheels, and now you want to imprison an American doctor? What a big joke!" Frank taunted Adjutant Tanaka loudly, and the sadness on his face suddenly turned into anger.

"Mr. Eliade, your fiancée's death was purely accidental. Our chief has fulfilled the prior agreement with the doctor. If you didn't act impulsively at that time, but kept an eye on your fiancée, things wouldn't be the same. So her death has nothing to do with We have nothing to do, and it doesn't contradict the conditions that the doctor negotiated at the beginning." Tanaka Shuichi not only denied what they did to Xiang Yinglan, but also shifted all the responsibility on Frank.

The French aristocrat was furious and rushed forward to beat the Japanese to death, but Boss Yan stopped him in time.He had already noticed that Adjutant Tanaka's right hand was always behind his back, and he concluded that he was holding a gun in that hand.

Ivan still didn't say a word, his face had never been so indifferent, so that Frank couldn't read what he was thinking at the moment: "Ivan?"

The American doctor finally looked at his best friend again, but his originally beautiful blue eyes were dull and looked very haggard: "..." He was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion behind him.

A few men in black domineeringly pushed the crowd aside, and Koji Ito, dressed in black and black gloves, walked forward arrogantly. Barely keeping up with their Colonel.

"Doctor, we should go back." The Japanese officer didn't even look at Frank and the others. He put his arm around Ivan's shoulder and snatched the black umbrella.

He didn't want to come in at first, but Koji Ito, who was pinching his watch and counting the time of the funeral, didn't want to wait a second longer. When the time came, he rushed in with several military police lurking around.Although Tanaka Hideichi is beside Aiwen, if the Frenchman deliberately makes things difficult and detains him, Tanaka will be outnumbered... There must be no accidents to make Aiwen Abel escape from him.

Their appearance caused panic around them, and a funeral changed instantly, but that was not what the parties concerned were concerned about.
