Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Su Bai, Wan Qili and Xu Tianyi were having dinner upstairs. When they heard the noise downstairs, they immediately walked out of the room and looked down while holding the railing. They saw a special edition of a newspaper, which featured Su Bai's photo.

The newspaper was constantly being passed around in the crowd, and those who had read it were explaining something to those who had not. Gradually, Su Bai discovered that several people below had raised their heads and were looking at him, and their eyes were... unfriendly.

Someone raised a questioning voice: "Is this true?"

"How can it be fake when the evidence is in the possession of the person?"

"Yes, many of the rescue teams in our medical school have run out of penicillin, and we only have less than one box left here. It turns out that she was the one who did it!"

Su Bai immediately realized that when the Japanese issued this special edition, at least the people in the rescue team believed it.

What a coincidence, what a bad coincidence. Yang Rufeng had promised Wan Qili that as long as the Japanese released the photos, he would immediately ask the newspaper to issue a special edition to clarify the matter. But now, Yang Rufeng was in Wuxi, and he couldn't see the special edition for a while.

"Send a telegram to Luo Pinzhang, asking him to find a way to contact the 1st Military Police Regiment and tell Yang Rufeng about this." Su Bai felt that this was the only thing he could do at the moment. More and more people in the church hall looked up here. What Su Bai could confirm now was that the looks in most of them were not just unfriendly, but angry.

There were also a few people with doubtful looks in their eyes.

Wan Qili went back to the house to send a message. Xu Tianyi held the railing and explained to everyone that all this was a trap set by the Japanese to frame Miss Lan. The true situation of the matter had been explained clearly to the military police when Miss Lan was kidnapped and rescued a few days ago. They will prove Miss Lan's innocence.

Unexpectedly, someone immediately shouted: "Mandala? They are in the same group with you, right? Otherwise, why would they arrest so many of our doctors?"

Someone immediately followed up: "That battalion commander surnamed Yang must have been bribed by the Japanese, what a scum!"

Su Bai also turned around and went back to the house. This matter could not be explained here.

Fortunately, the wounded soldiers in the cathedral were not as radical as the medical staff and basically adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

You know, the guns sent down from above to protect the rescue team are in the hands of their lightly wounded soldiers. If they are as excited as the medical staff, they will probably rush upstairs.

At that time, should Xu Tianyi and Wan Qili open fire?

That would be difficult.

The Military Control Commission received Wan Qili's telegram and promised to inform Team Leader Luo immediately.

Su Bai deliberately did not close the door tightly so that he could hear what was happening below.

Soon, the special editions of several other newspapers were also bought back. From the arguments among the people below, it was learned that they were similar and the content was basically the same.

"Can you give me a copy? I want to see what lies the Japanese made up that made you believe them so easily?" Xu Tianyi shouted down loudly.

At this time, Xu Tianyi no longer dared to go out to buy the special edition, as Su Bai’s safety was the most important.

There are many young people among these medical staff, and they can do anything when they are impulsive.

The people below were very happy. As soon as Xu Tianyi opened his mouth, someone immediately crumpled up a newspaper and threw it to him. Xu Tianyi didn't dare to leave, he had to stay outside. He didn't even read the newspaper himself and stuffed it directly into the house.

Wan Qili opened the newspaper and a large headline caught her eye: The Light of East Asia, a female scientist who understands justice and stands on the right side of history!

There is a line of small words below the title, and the content comes from a newspaper in the Japanese-occupied area.

Further down, there are two photos. One was taken by Su Bai in that house under trickery. The caption below the photo roughly reads as follows: In order to support the holy war and realize the great dream of Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere as soon as possible, the female scientist decisively donated the new drug and production technology she invented to the Imperial Japanese Army.

The picture shows the two parties signing a formal cooperation agreement.

The photo below shows a Japanese military doctor injecting penicillin into a wounded soldier. The caption below says that this new drug has an excellent bactericidal effect, greatly shortening the time it takes for wounded soldiers to return to the front line, and providing strong support for the holy war.

There is more text below these two photos, which details how after this female scientist invented this new drug, she initially planned to donate it to the national government to fight the holy war. But after countless failed applications for government support, she finally realized that there was no hope for this corrupt and incompetent government. Only by supporting the holy war and establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere as soon as possible can the people live a stable and prosperous life soon. So she resolutely chose the right path.

This paragraph is described in great detail, even going so far as to mention that Su Bai sent the drugs to the Health Bureau for inspection through the Military Control Commission. However, it did not mention that Su Bai used Analgin instead of penicillin, which caused the Director of Health to become furious. Instead, it said that although the Health Bureau organized personnel to conduct inspections, they threw the inspection reports aside and completely ignored them.

The article also talked about the difficult process of Su Bai submitting the new drug to multiple military and political departments such as the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Health Bureau. Some of the information was true, while some was fabricated by them.

But they all describe a lot of details.

On the surface, it seems to be an explanation for Su Bai, saying that it was only after many fruitless attempts that he suddenly realized and joined the jihad. At the same time, he also wanted to use this article to arouse people's dissatisfaction with the government.

At the end of the article, it was again noted that the above content came from newspapers in the Japanese-occupied area, and it was hoped that the relevant government departments would thoroughly investigate the matter and severely punish the traitors.

This was all the work of the Japanese, with only one purpose, which was to make people who read the newspaper believe that Su Bai had really surrendered to the enemy.

No wonder the people below are so angry.

Wan Qili thought this was a good thing, as it would immediately draw the government's attention to this new drug.

The article did not mention Lan Jieru's name throughout, and always referred to her as a female scientist. It also did not mention that the new drug was called penicillin, let alone erythromycin.

It was only mentioned once at the end of the article that in addition to this new injectable drug, there is also a special oral drug that is more convenient to carry and use.

Although Lan Jieru's name was not mentioned, the first photo was taken clearly and many people in the rescue team organized by the medical school recognized Lan Jieru.

Why didn't you mention the name?

Obviously, the Japanese have not given up their fantasy of getting Su Bai. What they are doing is just forcing Su Bai and leaving her with no way out.

What they really wanted was penicillin, and they didn't want to use any other methods before they got the production technology.

"Wishful thinking!" Su Bai angrily threw the newspaper to the ground.

Wan Qili picked up the newspaper and walked outside, holding the railing and loudly told everyone that everything above was fake, and asked everyone not to be fooled by the Japanese.

But no one believed her explanation. The young men below actually wanted to arrest Su Bai and send him to the police station.

"Stop! If you take another step forward I'll shoot!" Xu Tianyi roared.

At this time, the highest-ranking battalion commander among the wounded soldiers stood up with a cane and said, "Don't get excited, everyone. We have to find out whether this is a trap set by the Japanese. I don't think Doctor Lan is that kind of person."

After he said this, the young medical staff immediately transferred their anger to him.

The battalion commander said slowly, "Listen to me, I didn't say that Doctor Lan is innocent. This matter has become so serious that someone from above will definitely come to investigate. Don't rush upstairs without permission. Once the gun is fired, more than one or two people will die. If you make a mistake, won't you fall into the devil's trap?"

The battalion commander suggested that nothing should be done to Dr. Lan until the facts were clarified, but Dr. Lan could not leave the cathedral anymore.

To put it bluntly, it means: putting Dr. Lan under house arrest.
