"Aren't the best living rooms in China all in European style?" Sasaki seemed a little annoyed.
"There are some quaint old study rooms in China, which are quite elegant."
"Do you think a girl like this is suitable for an old study?"
"Ah, that's true. It would be better for her to stay in such an exquisite European-style living room."
Sasaki held a thin brush and was drawing a delicate watch strap on the beautiful girl's wrist. After that, his brush hovered over the girl's wrist and stopped moving.
Okamoto was also very smart and quickly guessed what Mr. Sasaki was hesitating about and couldn't help laughing.
He whispered: "Such a beautiful girl must be wearing a Kun watch. Square? Round? Oval?"
Sasaki frowned, tried hard to remember, and said, "It doesn't seem to be the case. Have you noticed?"
Okamoto shook his head, "I'm not that meticulous to pay attention to her watch."
"Aren't you an agent? A trained one."
"But I don't observe girls who have nothing to do with me. She is not my task!"
"Then what kind of Xiaokun watch is most suitable for her to wear?"
"She looks good in anything she wears. You can draw it whatever you want, any shape will suit her."
Sasaki pouted and looked carefully at the beautiful girl in the painting, trying hard to think about what kind of watch would look best on her.
He let out a long sigh and muttered: "No, absolutely not! I can't draw any way I want!"
He put all the paint tubes into the paint box with great precision, washed the brush and small plate in the basin. Finally, he put the exquisite watercolor painting into a paper clip.
He waved his hand to Okamoto, "Sleep! Sleep! You know how to sleep! What a bastard!"

In the morning, at dawn, Chen Zifeng's brothers all got up.
Breakfast has been delivered. Red bean porridge, pancakes, steamed buns, a large bowl of pickles, and two duck necks per person.
The brothers were sitting and squatting, eating and snoring, which was delicious.
Qiao Yanfang held a duck neck in her hand, stood in the middle of the living room, and began to assign tasks.
Today's task is mainly surveillance. Two people work together to monitor Geng Tianyou, He Jingwen, and the bearded director of Xinxiang repair shop. There is also another person, Tanaka Fu, who has disappeared!
She said: "Today is surveillance! Please be careful, don't let others see the truth! Look who they meet and where they go! If you find important clues, send a brother back to report! Keep your eyes open.
! Another thing to say is that in such a big Wuhan, there are no buses! So, if you need to take a rickshaw or horse-drawn carriage, take one! If you can’t come back to eat, just eat! Remember the money and find me when you come back.
to reimburse!"
She looked at Xiao Ancheng and said, "Zifeng and brother Xiao have other tasks."
She slowly came over, took a pickle from Chen Zifeng's bowl, put it in her mouth and chewed it, and said, "Zifeng, do you want me to go with you? I have experience in dealing with the police."
Chen Zifeng tilted his lips and said, "Okay, you, Leng Yue and Qiang Hu will each lead a team, and they must be experienced."
Qiao Yanfang gritted her teeth and whispered: "Look at your moral character! Okay, let's do this!"

Fu Xuelan got up very early.
After she finished washing, the most important thing was to clean the room.
She took a snow-white rag and carefully wiped the tables, chairs, windowsills, and small objects placed everywhere.
Gui Longhai helped find the house. It has two rooms, inside and outside, and is located on the third floor. Standing in front of the window, you can see the Yangtze River in the distance. The freighters and sailing ships sailing on the river are framed in her window like paintings.
The furniture in the house was very complete, not to mention the small items. She wiped the wood carvings and porcelain on the table, the windowsill, and the porcelain plates hanging on the wall, guessing that the original owner might be an artist.
She doesn't have to cook here. She eats three meals in the hospital. It's only a 20-minute walk from the hospital. In the words of Wuhan people, the hospital is at the doorstep of home, so close!
Before going out, she put away her usual light woolen coat and wore a long trench coat over her military uniform.
It's March and it's already quite warm in Wuhan. It seems to be warmer than Shanghai.
She went downstairs, walked through a corridor, and soon reached the intersection.
Out of habit, when she walked out of the street, she casually looked around. At this moment, she saw a person standing next to a big tree across the street.
She was extremely shocked to recognize that it was Lin Jiatai!

Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng had eaten, packed up their belongings, and watched the brothers leave the station in groups and walk in different directions. Qiao Yanfang's group came out last, waved to them, and left.
They warned the brother who was looking after the house, and then went out and walked south along Alexander Street.
Alexander Street is the most important street in Hankou. There are many high-end shops on both sides, as well as some company buildings, all of which are Western-style, exquisite and luxurious. Mixed in there are countless bars, restaurants, bookstores and other shops.
So, even though it's only about nine o'clock in the morning, it's already very lively here.
After passing Boundary Street, there was Hubei Street. They continued walking south.
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng were both wearing half-worn suits. Although the leather shoes on their feet were old, they were very clean. They looked like two company employees going to work.
But as they walked on the road, they looked at each other and realized that they were both being followed!
The current situation is weird and complicated, and it is almost inevitable that they will become a thorn in others' eyes and flesh!
But who this stalker is and which force he belongs to arouses their curiosity.
They changed the way they walked, stopping from time to time to look at the display windows, and even went into a small store to take a look.
After a while, they felt strange. The stalker behind them was not the stalker they imagined.
Chen Zifeng tilted his mouth and said, "An Thief, who do you think is behind you?"
Xiao Ancheng also tilted his lips and said thoughtfully: "It seems, not very professional."
"Why do I feel that this guy is a bit arrogant and looks like a tiger?"
"If that's the case, it should be someone from a gang, right?" Xiao Ancheng whispered.
"We didn't provoke them."
"It's offending! Yesterday, the Chi family wanted to fight with me! That Cui Huai was also on guard against us! Let the repair shop stop working!"
"Then what, just let him follow?"
"If we don't hurt him, it's okay to ask."
Chen Zifeng laughed and said, "Okay, let's ask him!"
They continued to walk forward, but their eyes looked to both sides, trying to find a suitable place.
After a while, they walked into an alley side by side, quickly ducked into the corners on both sides, and waited quietly.

Qiang Hu took a brother and quickly arrived at Wangjiaxiang Pier.
Their mission today is to continue to monitor Geng Tianyou. Qiao Yanfang told them that no matter where Geng Tianyou goes, they must keep an eye on him!
She said: "There must be something wrong with this guy!"
The place where they stayed was exactly the surveillance point established by Leng Yue yesterday, in a room upstairs in a small hotel.
They sat in front of the window and quietly observed the busy handling of goods at the Wangjiaxiang dock.
At around nine o'clock, they saw Geng Tianyou enter the dock and watched him walk into the small building of the management department.
Now, they can only be patient, take turns observing, and wait for him to go out!
This guy will only be in trouble if he leaves the house!

Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng hid in the corner, and soon saw the stalker appearing at the entrance of the alley.
This guy was wearing black clothes, wearing a top hat crookedly, and his shoulders swayed to both sides as he walked, looking like a thug.
He saw the two people in front of him entering the alley, so he walked a few steps to the alley entrance and looked inside. But there was no one in the alley. He was a little surprised, looked around, and slowly walked into the alley.
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng emerged from behind him quietly, sandwiched him on the left and right, and walked side by side with him.
Chen Zifeng stared at him sideways and asked in a low voice: "Brother, which way? Tell the truth!"
The stalker looked back and forth at them in surprise, even more surprised. He wanted to leave here, but his arm had already grabbed him.
Chen Zifeng asked: "Tell me! Hongmen or Pengchuan Gang! If you don't tell the truth, we will be rude to you!"
This guy didn't speak, he just gritted his teeth and stared at them. The muscles on his face were trembling, and a black mole on the edge of his mouth became more conspicuous.
He suddenly shouted, broke away suddenly, ran out of the alley, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Such a way of escaping once again confirmed their suspicion that this guy might indeed be a gang member!
Xiao Ancheng said: "Don't worry about him! Just remember the mole on his mouth."
They looked around, returned to Alexander Street, and continued walking south.

The teahouse is very quiet. It will take a while for Wuhan people having morning tea to pour into the teahouse.
Fu Xuelan and Lin Jiatai were almost the only guests in the teahouse.
"Have you had breakfast?" she asked.
"I came out early and didn't take care of it." Lin Jiatai said with a smile.
Fu Xuelan ordered xiaolongbao and rice flour from the waiter, and asked for a pot of tea.
"How do you know I'm here?" she asked again.
"I actually knew it a long time ago. I just didn't want to cause trouble, so I didn't come to see you."
"By the way, people like Chen Zifeng have also been in Wuhan for several days!"
"I just found out about this, so I came to see you." Lin Jiatai said, still smiling.
Fu Xuelan looked at him in surprise, "So, you came to me today for something? And is it related to them?"
Lin Jiatai nodded to her, "I can't say yet. But this is definitely a way! Let me tell you, Lao Liu is also in Wuhan!"
This time, Fu Xuelan was really surprised, "Why? He has a job in Wuhan?"
"Yes, he works in the Eighth Office and is now the Secretary-General of the Eighth Office. He lives in Changchun Street. He originally only returned to northern Shaanxi to report work, but as a result, he never returned to Shanghai. The central government sent him here
Come to work. The focus is on cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."
