Mitsui Jiro hung a stethoscope around his neck, opened the medical records on the table and asked: "What did you find when you came to my place today?"
Liao Yaquan said: "Last time I found a safe in Zhou Hexuan's room. There was a strange box, a diamond necklace, and a Patek_Philippe brand Western watch in the safe."
"That's all?" Mitsui Jiro wrote down the information in the medical record.
Liao Yaquan added: "Both the necklace and the watch are very exquisite. They are not ordinary items that can be bought casually. In addition, the strangest thing is the small box. I don't know what material it is made of. There are two lines of characters on the back.
The combination, one line is iphone7, the other line is designed_by_apple_in_caliornia_assembled_in_china, and there are a few symbols with unknown meanings at the bottom."
"iphone7?" Mitsui Jiro frowned, "What does this mean in English?"
Liao Yaquan said: "I looked through the English dictionary and couldn't find this word. I guessed that iPhone should be an organizational group, and the '7' represents Zhou Hexuan's number in the organization."
"Well, it's very possible," Mitsui Jiro said, "but what does designed_by_apple_in_caliornia_assembled_in_china mean?"
Liao Yaquan analyzed: "This mysterious organization was established in a place related to Apple in California. Perhaps because of some accident or some mission, the organization was reorganized in China, or the members of the organization were in China
collection."
"The information you brought is very important. I will notify the headquarters and ask them to send people to California to investigate," Mitsui Jiro said with appreciation, and then asked, "Is there anything strange about Zhou Hexuan?"
Liao Yaquan said: "His lifestyle is very simple. He usually works at a broadcasting company or newspaper. After get off work, he stays at home and writes articles. When he is free on weekends, he goes to a folk club to have fun. The only suspicious thing is that he often hangs out with Westerners in the club. I guess there must be someone in the club who passes information to him."
"Who is he closest to in the club?" Mitsui Jiro asked.
Liao Yaquan said: "There are Hervé Jacques Césaire, the French Consul General in Zimbabwe, Brigadier General Mesdely Darlington Butler of the U.S. Marine Corps, and Raul Bert, the bartender of the club. These three people, together with
Zhou Hexuan chats the most."
"That's right," Mitsui Jiro thought, "that mysterious organization should have high-level participation from European and American ghosts, otherwise it would be impossible to obtain the empire's confidential information."
Liao Yaquan added: "I have studied Zhou Hexuan's "Guns, Bacteria and Steel" repeatedly, and the various information and data in it are extremely difficult to obtain. When Zhou Hexuan wrote this book, he did not read any information at all.
It was written from memory. This person’s mind is extremely scary and I don’t know what’s inside.”
"How is your relationship with him going?" Mitsui Jiro asked.
Liao Yaquan said: "I often hint that I admire him, but he pretends not to know and deliberately avoids my closeness."
"Did he become suspicious of you?" Mitsui Jiro asked.
"It's very possible," Liao Yaquan said, "When I went to open the safe for the second time, everything inside was gone. He wore the watch himself and gave the necklace to his fiancée. These two things should not matter. But the most important thing is
The mysterious little box disappeared without a trace. He may have hidden it somewhere else."
Mitsui Jiro said: "Zhou Hexuan once said that he was a member of the Hongmen in the United States. The headquarters sent intelligence personnel to investigate the Zhi Gong Party in the United States, but all the members of the Zhi Gong Party said that there was no such person as Zhou Hexuan."
Liao Yaquan guessed: "Could it be Hongmen's secret agency?"
"It seems possible," Mitsui Jiro said, "You step up your efforts to seduce Zhou Hexuan. If you can become his pillow, you might be able to get more information."
"I will work hard." Liao Yaquan said.
Mitsui Jiro waved his hand: "Go ahead and proceed with caution. This Zhou Hexuan deserves a long-term investigation, so don't be too anxious."
Liao Yaquan did not leave the Japanese concession immediately, but went to the department store to buy some things before slowly returning to Zhou Hexuan's home.
Zhou Hexuan originally wanted to air the interview program "Seven O'clock Gossip" every day. However, because it is too expensive to invite celebrities to do interviews, and content planning also takes time, it can only be aired every Saturday.
Today is the weekend, Zhou Hexuan went to help Sun Yonghao as a matchmaker in the afternoon and went to the woman's house.
The woman's father was just a carpenter. When he saw Mr. Zhou coming to the door in person, his face suddenly felt bright, and he agreed to the marriage with a smile. The two parties were going to ask a fortune teller to pick a date, and they were just waiting for the appointment and official marriage.
As soon as she returned home, Zhang Leyi asked: "Is it done?"
Before Zhou Hexuan could answer, Sun Yonghao said overjoyed: "It's done, it's done, I'll go find a fortune teller to pick a date tomorrow."
Liao Yaquan smiled and said: "Brother Yonghao, you have to thank Mr. Zhou very much."
"That's natural, haha." Sun Yonghao kept giggling.
After dinner, Zhou Hexuan sat in his study and thought hard, unable to write for a long time.
Zhang Leyi came in and asked, "What trouble did you encounter?"
"I'm not sure about the ending of "The Dog Officer"," Zhou Hexuan explained. "The male protagonist was skinned and eaten by the soldiers. If it ends here, the overall structure of the novel will be more complete. If I wake up and find that it is a
A big dream, and then he changed his ways and wanted to be a good person, but was ostracized and framed by his colleagues and died. This ending is even more ironic and beneficial. Which ending do you think is better?"
Zhang Leyi said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing about this? Write both endings."
Zhou Hexuan was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "This is a good idea. The first one will be the official ending, and the following content will be serialized as a side story."
"You write slowly, I'm going back to Wanrong's place. I'm sweating from the heat of shopping today, and I need to take a shower to feel better," Zhang Leyi said, "I'll heat up the midnight snack in a pot, and you can bring it to yourself later."
"Leyi, you are so kind to me!" Zhou Hexuan stood up and hugged Zhang Leyi.
He was about to kiss her, but Zhang Leyi quickly pushed away: "Stop hugging me, I sweat a lot today and it's sticky."
"Even if you are sweating, it is the fragrance of a beauty." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Zhang Leyi felt sweet in her heart and spat: "You are used to saying things like this to coax me. I really fell into your trap."
Zhou Hexuan said: "The war between the North and the South should be over. I will go to Lushan to visit my uncle in a while and finalize our marriage."
The Northern Expedition is indeed coming to an end.
Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu suffered heavy losses last year, and the combat effectiveness of the remaining troops was pitifully low. Sun Chuanfang was still somewhat elite, but he had no choice but to encounter two pig teammates. Under the influence of Zhang and Chu's continuous defeats, Sun Chuanfang could only
Follow and retreat.
Zhang Zuolin's direct lineage of the Fengjun army was particularly powerful. They drove Yan Xishan back to Shanxi, then turned around and beat Feng Yuxiang to a pulp, and even surrounded Feng Yuxiang's main force. Chang Kaishen quickly changed the battle plan and dispatched Yan Xishan to attack in the direction of Zhengtai Road, intending to attack
Cut off Fengjun's retreat.
Fengjun was afraid that his retreat would be cut off, so he quickly withdrew and retreated. Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan took the opportunity to launch a major counterattack.
Now the Northern Expeditionary Army from Shandong has occupied Jinan, and the Northern Expeditionary Army from Hebei is pointing to Shijiazhuang, Peiping, and Tianjin, which will soon become the front line.
Zhang Leyi left in a happy mood, focusing entirely on her future marriage. Although she was happy, she was also uneasy, fearing that her father would firmly oppose this.
At night, Liao Yaquan secretly got up and got into Zhou Hexuan's bedroom.
The female spy couldn't wait any longer and made up her mind to capture Zhou Hexuan.
