"Mr. Matsuda, I didn't expect that you also like to read this kind of novel. I have read this book many times." Oyama Suzuya's interest in Zhou Ke, the handsome man, began to gradually grow.

Even though her father had emphasized to her to stay away from Zhou Ke before he left, and as someone who came back from the "Western free country", her main character was rebellion.

"Then I recommend Miss Ling Ya to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. That book is the sequel to the one you are reading."

Zhou Ke started to recommend another book by Mark Twain. It seemed that Dashan Lingya was a little bored in the ward and was reading to kill time.

"I've also heard about that book from my friends, but unfortunately I've never been able to buy it. I wonder if you have it at home, Mr. Matsuda?" Oyama Suzuya asked expectantly.

"I have to go back and look for this. I have a lot of books at home." Zhou Ke did not agree to it. After all, he was not sure whether Mark Twain's books could be bought in Shanghai at this time.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Matsuda. By the way, Mr. Matsuda, do you have a collection of poems at home? If it's convenient, could you lend me one?" Oyama Suzuya gave Zhou Ke a sweet smile in return.

She felt that the handsome guy in front of her was quite honest, so she wanted to date him. Most importantly, Zhou was the only person of her age who had read Mark Twain's novels.

"Have you read the Manyoshu in China? I have several volumes at home." Zhou Ke asked. This book was Kogoro's favorite when he was alive, and his family had several Manyoshu with different printing styles.

"That couldn't be better. Please, Mr. Matsuda, bring me two volumes of the Manyoshu!" Oyama Suzuya said. Then, as a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, it began to rain.

"The day has changed so quickly."

Without waiting for Dashan Lingya to get up, Zhou Ke quickly walked to the window and closed it. Looking at the tall back of the man in front of her, Dashan Lingya completely lost interest in those blind dates.

Recently, she has been urged to get married by all the elders except her father. This handsome man who suddenly appeared in front of her might be a good choice compared to those blind dates with whom she has no common language.

"There is faint thunder and a gloomy sky, but I hope the wind and rain will come and keep you here." Dashan Lingya murmured as she looked at Zhou Ke's back.

"There is a faint rumble of thunder and a gloomy sky. Even if it doesn't rain, I will stay here." Zhou Ke, who had watched The Garden of Words many times, quickly added the second half of the sentence.

"Lunch break is almost here, Ms. Suzuya, I'll take my leave now."

Pointing at Aniya, who was lying on the small table with snot bubbles coming out of her nose and had fallen asleep without knowing when, Zhou Ke smiled and quickly left the ward under the gaze of Dashan Lingya's sparkling eyes.

It is not appropriate to continue with this line of poetry. The original person is not a person who likes poetry collections. If Oyama Suzuya asks one more sentence about the Manyoshu, he will be exposed.

It seems that I should consider exchanging more Tang and Song poems with Oyama Suzuya in the future! As long as you have attended nine years of compulsory education, you will know something about this.

But overall, today was a good start. Don't rush into picking up girls at the beginning, otherwise it will easily disgust the girl.

"Mr. Matsuda, is there anything that brings you to my niece's ward?" A cold voice sounded from behind Zhou Ke.

"Hello, Senior Dashan, I just came to understand the situation!" Zhou Ke couldn't help but shiver when he saw Dashan Changheng who suddenly appeared behind him.

"What a joke you guys are! Why didn't you even inform me when Senior Dashan came?" Zhou Ke turned the topic to his accompanying subordinates.

"Brother, I just arrived too! Have you made any progress in the case? Why did you look so happy when you left?" Dashan Changheng asked Zhou Ke with a sharp gaze.

"Forehead....."

Just when Zhou Ke didn't know what to say, one of his military policemen wearing a raincoat ran over hurriedly.

"Sir, we caught two suspicious elements downstairs!" the military police reported. However, the military police was a little confused when he saw his colonel's grateful eyes.

"I have official business to attend to. Uncle Dashan, I'll be busy now!" After saying this, Zhou Ke didn't wait for Dashan Changheng to say anything else. He quickly pulled the subordinate in the raincoat out of the corridor.

"Don't let me catch you again, kid!" Dashan Changheng muttered secretly as he watched Zhou Ke's back disappear at the stairs.

..........

"You're a good boy, you have good eyesight!" Zhou Ke took out a stack of Japanese yen and stuffed it into the hand of his military police.

"Sir, this is our duty!" The military police appeared neither humble nor arrogant, but he was very happy in his heart.

Reporting the news today actually brought him such a benefit. He only climbed a few floors and consumed only one twentieth of a rice ball.

"Who is the suspect?" Zhou Ke asked as he walked.

"Sir, they are people from the Mei Agency. We stopped them when they went out through the main gate at first, and then caught them red-handed through a dog hole!" explained the military police.

"From the Manchurian Railway faction?" Zhou Ke asked again.

"This has not been clarified yet, sir. Do we need to question the people in Mei's agency now?" the military police asked.

"Let's wait a moment." Zhou Ke decided not to say anything for the time being. He would meet the two suspicious persons and understand the situation before saying anything else.

"Brother Matsuda, are you going out for something?" As soon as Zhou Ke arrived in the hall, he met Kojima Hiroichi who came in from outside wearing a raincoat.

"Brother Kojima, my men have arrested two suspects. Are you out on business?" Zhou Ke asked, looking at Kojima Hiroichi's attire.

"Brother Matsuda, is the person you captured someone from the Manchurian Railway Department of the Umeki Agency?" Kojima Hiroichi asked hurriedly after hearing Zhou Ke's answer.

"I don't know if they are from the Manchuria Railway, but they are definitely from the Mei Agency! Brother, have you found anything?" Zhou Ke asked curiously. It seems that Kojima Hirokazu has also set his sights on those two people.

"That's pretty close. I don't know what Sengoku Hisamitsu told those two people. My people lost their target after they found something wrong with them. I didn't expect to be caught by your military police."

Hirokazu Kojima breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving the news that the target was lost, he prepared to inform Zhou Ke as soon as possible.

"What is Hisamitsu Sengoku up to again? These two were planning to sneak out." Zhou Ke put on the raincoat handed to him by his subordinates and followed Kojima Hiroichi out of the hospital building.

Soon, in the guardhouse of the hospital requisitioned by the military police, Zhou Ke saw two suspicious men who were tied up and had familiar faces. They were the two men of Hisamitsu Sengoku.
