Lu Baoqiang scratched his head, ”The two of them came to China to act as evil officers here. They weren't liked here, nor were they respected in their own country. Tamura's friend once grabbed his collar and shouted at him, 'Nandai konna mono iikai s.h.i.+nji masuka?!'”

After all, he was an actor. He acted very convincingly and amused the police officers present. Chen s.h.i.+ asked, ”What does that mean?”

”It means, 'Young fellow, why do you want to act in this kind of thing?!'”

”Lu Baoqiang, your j.a.panese isn't bad. I asked you what Fujiwara had said yesterday. Why didn't you tell me then?”

”Actually, I don't understand j.a.panese at all. This is what Old w.a.n.g had told me.”

”Old w.a.n.g? Call him over!”

After a while, Old w.a.n.g came. When he saw all the police in the room, his expression was a little fl.u.s.tered, but it was only for a moment. He immediately recovered his smile, ”You're looking for me?”

”I heard that your j.a.panese isn't bad.”

Old w.a.n.g waved his hands. ”It's not good at all. I only know a few sentences. I learned them while filming.”

Chen s.h.i.+ said to Lu Baoqiang. ”Repeat the sentence from just now.”

Lu Baoqiang said it again. ”It took me so long to learn this sentence and I was taught by Old w.a.n.g. Bird language is really difficult to learn.”

Old w.a.n.g was slightly startled. He seemed to have understood who had “sold him out”. Chen s.h.i.+ said, “I don't believe that you can say such a complete sentence without any j.a.panese foundation. It seems that your j.a.panese isn't too bad?”

”Ahem, I know a little bit. I learned it while chatting with j.a.panese actors. I had learned this sentence from Tamura. I just learned the p.r.o.nunciation.”

”What did Fujiwara say that day?”

”He said...” Old w.a.n.g recalled. ”Tamura's family is in a difficult position, and his wife is sick.”

Lu Baoqiang said, ”Old w.a.n.g, I remember Fujiwara saying a lot that day!”

”You don't know this, but the j.a.panese are very verbose in their manner of speech. They can speak for half a day just saying one thing. Furthermore, my j.a.panese isn't very good and I can only understand the gist of it.”

”Why didn't you say this yesterday? You only said this after an accident happened today!”

”What accident?” Old w.a.n.g suddenly seemed very nervous. At this time, Chen s.h.i.+ deliberately talked about a flaw.

”It has nothing to do with the case. Answer my question.”

Old w.a.n.g licked his lips. ”Officer, you've seen how it is. We all despise the j.a.panese. If I said that I could understand j.a.panese, they'd laugh at me. I've been working as a featured extra for ten years. I can be regarded as the most senior among all the extras, so I have to pay attention to my image.”

”That's a good reason!” Chen s.h.i.+ nodded.

”It isn't an excuse. It's a fact.”

Chen s.h.i.+ looked around. ”You two live here?”

”Yes, I share the rent with Baoqiang.”

There was a bunk bed in the room with an iron frame. Chen s.h.i.+ asked him who slept on the top bunk. Old w.a.n.g said that he slept on the top bunk himself.

This answer was a bit different from what Chen s.h.i.+ had expected. He was just a little suspicious of Old w.a.n.g, but if Old w.a.n.g slept on the upper bunk, it wasn't too easy for him to enter and exit the room.

”Okay, I've finished asking!”
