Chapter 801 Comrades Are Also Friends
Jiang Jiyuan said to himself, "So this is the problem. No wonder my uncle and sister are so active. They are planning to take all these prisoners away at once!"
He sighed helplessly, turned a blind eye to all this, and turned to leave.
However, just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped as if under a spell.
He slowly turned his head and stared at his uncle and sister, guessing that the two of them cooperated perfectly and it was obviously not the first time they did this.
Jiang Jiyuan's doubts grew deeper and deeper. He immediately contacted Ma Chao and asked him if he knew what happened to the prisoners captured in previous battles they had participated in.
After the call was connected, Ma Chao felt a little puzzled by Jiang Jiyuan's question, but he still answered truthfully that he didn't know and he would contact him later and get back to him.
After hanging up the phone, Ma Chao quickly contacted relevant personnel in several other regions, hoping to get some clues from them.
After receiving the news, Ma Chao sat there with an increasingly strange expression on his face.
He seemed to be thinking about something important and didn't notice Qi Feng walking towards him with a lunch box.
Qi Feng couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Ma Chao's expression. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Ma, have you heard anything about Xiaoyun and the others? When will they arrive?"
Ma Chao took the lunch box he handed over and said, "It will be soon. They will probably be able to enter the territory of Gan Province in a few days."
Jiang Jiyuan was awakened by the vibration of his phone before dawn the next day.
He picked up the phone sleepily and saw that the caller ID was Ma Chao. He answered the phone and said, "Hello, Brother Ma, what's the matter with you calling so early?"
There was a hint of hoarseness in Jiang Jiyuan's voice.
Ma Chao on the other end of the phone said solemnly, "Jiang Jiyuan, all the captives your uncle and sister came into contact with have died one after another. I even contacted Xiao Fu in the Northeast overnight, and he also said that they were all dead. The causes of death were all bizarre, but they all died of vomiting blood."
Jiang Jiyuan's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "What? They're all dead? How could this happen?"
Ma Chao sighed and continued, "Fortunately, they died after the hostage exchange. The Japanese doctors examined them and found that they all had various health problems and eventually died of organ failure."
Jiang Jiyuan's mind quickly flashed back to the scene of his sister tinkering with some strange poisons. His uncle often followed her to help, and he must have learned some skills.
He gradually had a guess in his mind that the deaths of these people might be related to the two of them.
If you calculate it this way, my uncle and sister must have killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers!
Just as Jiang Jiyuan was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the front.
He turned his head and saw his uncle and sister squatting together brushing their teeth. Both of them had white foam in their mouths and looked at him innocently.
Jiang Jiyuan looked at the two people, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said, "Come over and wash your face and eat. It's time for us to leave."
"Here it comes!" Jiang Wenming quickly continued brushing his teeth.
Jiang Jiyun also turned around and sped up his hands, and they were finally able to leave.
Jiang Jiyuan hurried to Political Commissar Xu to say goodbye to him. Time was running out and they had to leave this place as soon as possible.
Jiang Jiyuan knew that there was a Japanese general named Watanabe imprisoned in his sister's space, and the Japanese were now negotiating an exchange of prisoners.
According to his sister and uncle, they originally planned to kill the old man directly.
After all, he was a Japanese general, his hands were stained with the blood of countless compatriots, and he deserved to die.
However, after repeated persuasion from Jiang Jiyuan and Zhang An, they finally gave up the idea.
This prisoner exchange was a rare opportunity to rescue those underground workers captured by the Japanese and those captured on the battlefield.
If the exchange fails because they privately execute Watanabe, the lives of these people will be threatened.
After a difficult ideological struggle, his sister and uncle finally agreed to let him go temporarily and give him a way out.
However, Jiang Jiyuan still noticed that the two men were secretly adding something to Watanabe's food.
Jiang Jiyuan was a little suspicious, but he didn't say anything.
He carefully observed Watanabe's reaction and found that he did not show any abnormal symptoms such as poisoning or diarrhea.
In this case, Jiang Jiyuan felt that there was no need for him to meddle in other people's affairs. As long as Watanabe was not dead, it would not affect the plan of exchanging prisoners.
Political Commissar Xu watched the two cars drive out of sight one after the other before turning back to continue arranging work.
Jiang Jiyuan was sitting in the car in front. He held the steering wheel steadily and drove the car forward.
Jiang Jiyun and his uncle sat in the back seat. As the car bumped along, their bodies swayed up and down from time to time, making it impossible for those who were dozing off to sleep.
Jiang Jiyuan couldn't remain silent because of the doubts in his heart. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what did you feed the prisoners?"
His voice seemed a little abrupt in the carriage. Jiang Wenming was frightened and choked by the wind blowing in through the window. He suddenly started coughing: "Cough cough cough..."
Jiang Jiyun closed her eyes tightly and refused to open them. Although she seemed to be dozing off, she was actually eavesdropping on the conversation between the two with her ears perked up.
Anyway, she was asleep now and didn't know anything, so she could avoid being drawn into this discussion.
Jiang Wenming looked down at his little niece sitting next to him. She had her eyes closed, but her little head kept moving from time to time. It was obvious that she was not really asleep. He felt amused and thought that the little girl must be pretending to sleep.
There were only three people with the surname Jiang in the car, so Jiang Jiyuan asked so unscrupulously. He saw from the rearview mirror that his sister was pretending to be asleep and his uncle was coughing but didn't answer him.
Seeing that he couldn't escape the question anyway, Jiang Wenming simply acted like a rogue and said to Xiao Yuan, refusing to admit his mistake: "Xiao Yuan, there are some things that we should keep secret. That way, we can still be good friends."
However, what Jiang Wenming never expected was that his words actually caused Jiang Jiyun beside him to burst out laughing.
Jiang Jiyun originally wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he had to open his eyes and look at Jiang Wenming with a playful expression.
She teased, "Uncle, you're so funny! You and my brother are clearly uncle and nephew, how can you say we're friends?"
Facing Jiang Jiyun's sabotage, Jiang Wenming was not angry. Instead, he laughed and explained convincingly, "You don't understand this, right? Although there is a generational difference between uncle and nephew, we can still be good friends! Moreover, we are now comrades fighting side by side. Aren't comrades also friends?"
