Liao Yaquan watched Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi go out with a smile. After the two left, she suddenly put away the smile on her face and said to Liu Wu: "Mother Wu, you go back first, I will take care of the rest."
"How can a college student like you do this kind of menial work?" Liu Wu said in a flattering tone. She already regarded Liao Yaquan as her concubine. Otherwise, why would she have been living in Mr. Zhou's house?
Liao Yaquan had no choice but to help Liu Wu with her work and send the old woman away early. She then entered Zhou Hexuan's bedroom and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets with great care, hoping to find any clues.
She often went in and out of Zhou Hexuan's study and took the opportunity to rummage through it, but this was the first time she entered the bedroom.
"Huh!"
Liao Yaquan found a safe in Zhou Hexuan's closet.
The box is not only locked with a chain, but also has a combination lock.
Liao Yaquan immediately took out a piece of thin wire and opened the iron lock without any effort, but she found it a little tricky when it came to the combination lock.
The combination lock has three digits in total. Liao Yaquan wrote down the number currently displayed, put his ear against the safe, and gently turned the combination wheel to listen for the sound.
"Kakaka..."
It took Liao Yaquan half an hour to decipher all the codes, and the excitement at the moment of unlocking was like beautiful music to her ears.
Liao Yaquan couldn't wait to open the safe and saw three items lying inside. She only recognized the necklace and watch, but she didn't know what the small square box was.
The front of the box is as smooth as a mirror and pitch black. The back is shining with bright silver, with a bitten Apple logo on it and the English and numeric symbols iphone7 written on the bottom.
"iphone7?"
Liao Yaquan spelled out the English combination on the box and said to herself: "I have never heard of this word at all. Could it be that iPhone is the name of an organization, or a subsidiary of a mysterious organization? And this box is the identity of Zhou Hexuan
According to the evidence, he is ranked seventh in the organization?"
Liao Yaquan checked the phone repeatedly and couldn't figure out the functions of the camera and the entrance port, but she could vaguely guess the buttons on the side. Well, she thought the power button was the startup mechanism, but after pressing it a few times, nothing happened.
Thanks to Apple making the phone completely sealed, Liao Yaquan did not dare to violently open it, so she had to keep the appearance of the phone in mind and turn to study the necklace and watch.
"patek_philippe," Liao Yaquan spelled out the small characters on the dial and said to herself, "This seems to be a European watch brand, but why doesn't he wear it on his body but hide it in the safe?"
Liao Yaquan thought hard and determined that the watch and mobile phone were identity tokens of the mysterious organization.
Finally, Liao Yaquan picked up the necklace and started researching it, but unfortunately there were fewer clues. Her eyes were almost blurred, and then she vaguely discovered some traces of engraving behind the platinum base of a diamond.
"Go get a magnifying glass another day!"
Liao Yaquan made up her mind, put everything back in its place, restored the numbers on the combination lock to the original, then locked the chain and left the bedroom.
…
Zhou Hexuan knew nothing about this, and even if he knew, he would not stop it.
Zhou Hexuan had burned ID cards, banknotes and other things a long time ago. The Apple mobile phone had long been out of power, and he had also placed the charging device in the 21st century hotel. Who knows what Liao Yaquan would find.
Today they were going to a dance party. Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi had not gone far in a rickshaw when they saw American soldiers playing in the streets in twos and threes.
“Wine, chinese_alohol…”
A soldier made a gesture of raising a glass and drinking heavily, and said in broken Chinese: "Bounce the ball, shoot the ball!"
The shop owner, with his head full of black lines, muttered: "If you drink, just drink, what kind of ball do you want to shoot! Do you want it in bulk or in bottles?"
"This_one!" Ding Bing shouted, pointing at the liquor on the shelf.
"This is a high-end product, it costs 1 yuan," the store owner raised a finger, "one, one_yuan."
"Yes, yes, i_kon." Dabing made another gesture of writing.
The shop owner smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's a bookkeeping thing, okay. I'll have to pay another day."
General Butler's friendly act was obviously very effective. From Tianjin's politicians and wealthy businessmen to ordinary people, their impressions of Americans have greatly improved, and they have reached a level of trust that allows them to give credit to American soldiers.
Just a few days ago, a fire broke out in a street in Tianjin. Butler led his officers and soldiers to the fire scene and personally participated in the fire-fighting operation. On such a cold day, Butler's clothes were soaked with sweat. This move greatly moved the people of Tianjin.
The military and civilians are in a fish-water situation!
Not only that, the 4,000 U.S. Marines were not stationed in military camps after arriving in Tianjin. Instead, they rented in residential buildings and paid the rent in U.S. dollars.
To put it very ridiculously, Tianjin people's attitude towards American soldiers now far exceeds that of China's own warlord troops.
Especially those businessmen, they wish that American soldiers could stay here for decades. It is best not to leave forever, as they can make money and have a sense of security.
The store owner wrote the IOU in Chinese, and the American soldier signed his name in English. The two parties reached a friendly deal and happily waved goodbye to each other. The scene of harmonious coexistence is amazing.
Zhou Hexuan witnessed this scene, immediately ordered the driver to stop, walked to the store and said: "Boss, can you show me the IOU just now?"
The shop owner was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, just take a look."
Zhou Hexuan looked at the signature on the IOU and was immediately dumbfounded. He saw "George Washington" written on it.
"American soldiers always pay on credit?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
The shop owner smiled and said: "I guess I have spent all the US dollars I used at the beginning. I have been paying on credit in the past two days. But it doesn't matter. The American soldiers have money. When they are paid next month, they will naturally make up the money."
."
"Do you trust them that much?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
The shop owner gave a thumbs up and said: "These American soldiers are different. They are benevolent soldiers who never do bad things. Their general even helped put out the fire a few days ago. It would be great if these soldiers had been in Tianjin.
It’s safer to do business, and even local gangsters don’t dare to come and cause trouble.”
Zhou Hexuan said: "Show me all the IOUs."
The store owner quickly pulled out dozens of pictures from the counter drawer, and Zhou Hexuan was speechless after reading them.
Just judging from the signatures on the IOUs, these American soldiers are all great men!
Coolidge, Washington, Franklin, Lincoln...there are several American presidents.
Moreover, American soldiers are also very humorous. Some signed "Smedley Butler" (their commander), some signed "Carrie Nassing" (American anti-alcohol activist), and some signed "Wall
Ted" (Congressman who advocated prohibition of alcohol).
From the signatures on these IOUs, we can see how much people resented Prohibition in the United States.
Zhou Hexuan smiled, took out the money and said to the shop owner: "Sell me all the IOUs, and I'll go talk to their chief."
Haha, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
