In the hotel room, Wan Xiangsheng looked around with his hands behind his back and said, "Well, the room condition is not bad. If I have enough time, I planned to take you to the Licha Hotel. Have you heard of the Licha Hotel? It is the most popular hotel in Shanghai.
A good hotel with air conditioners in the rooms and hot water supply for 20 hours..."
Jiang Rumeng said: "Mr. Wan, can you show me your pocket watch?"
"Pocket watch?"
Wan Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, then he made a knowing expression, took off his pocket watch and handed it over, smiling: "It's just a watch. As long as you like it, I can give it to you."
His idea was very simple. He believed that Jiang Rumeng had never seen the world. Seeing a gold-plated pocket watch for the first time, he was inevitably curious and wanted to see it.
On the cover of the pocket watch, there are four words "rarely confused" engraved on it.
This is the reason why Wan Xiangsheng specially found someone to engrave on the watch cover to show his way of conducting himself in the world.
Jiang Rumeng looked at the pocket watch for a while and suddenly said, "Do you know any folk remedies for treating asthma?"
Wan Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard this: "Why, someone in Miss Jiang's family has asthma?"
Jiang Rumeng said quickly: "My uncle has been ill for many years and asked me to help him find a folk remedy in Shanghai."
"It's a trivial matter. I happen to know an old Chinese medicine practitioner. I'll ask you about it tomorrow."
"Thank you."
"Between you and me, there's no need to be polite, right?"
Wan Xiangsheng took a step closer, reaching out to hug Jiang Rumeng.
"Mr. Wan, what do you want to do?"
"A man and a woman are alone in the same room, what else can you do?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Wan, you must have misunderstood. Miss Lan told me that you wanted to discuss the script with me. That's why I came here with you..."
"Okay, okay, I promise you, tomorrow morning, Nanhua Company will sign a formal contract with you, and the role of the second female lead must be yours." Wan Xiangsheng said impatiently.
"Sorry, you must have misunderstood. Goodbye."
Jiang Rumeng opened the door and walked out.
Looking at the unbuttoned gown and then at the empty room, Wan Xiangsheng sat down on the bed and murmured: "It's just inexplicable..."
After coming out of the hotel, Wan Xiangsheng got into the car with a gloomy face and ordered: "Go to Huade Road."
The desire aroused by Jiang Rumeng made him eager to find a woman to vent his desire.
It's definitely not possible to go to the almshouse in broad daylight.
If the tigress at home knew about it, it would be like a chicken jumping over the wall, and there would be no peace for a moment.
Therefore, Wan Xiangsheng could only find Yumei.
Yumei was his secretly raised outhouse, living in an alley near Huade Road.
He planned to stay at Yumei's house tonight. He spent a lot of money on this woman and did not dare to go there more than once a month. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was losing money.
…
In the evening, Hongkou patrol room.
Inspector Xu's Office.
Shinji Kuranaga stood at the door, looking at Xu Siqi in a daze.
Only then did he realize that the guy he met in the alley of Nanshi was actually Inspector Hua from the patrol room.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "You are hungry, you have to eat the dumplings while they are hot, you are welcome."
On the coffee table, there is a tray of steaming dumplings stuffed with three kinds of fresh food. Next to it are plates, chopsticks and spoons.
Shinji Kuranaga stood still, not understanding what Xu Siqi meant.
Xu Siqi said: "I know your father, no matter what, I should take care of you."
"You are lying."
"Oh, why did I lie?"
"Father never mentioned that he knew Inspector Hua from the patrol room."
"There are many kinds of acquaintances, and a chance encounter can be considered acquaintance. Are you right?"
“…”
"Why, the son of Cangyan Zongyan doesn't even dare to eat dumplings?"
For a proud young man like Shinji Kuranaga, a simple provoking method would work almost every time.
Without saying anything, Shinji Kuranaga sat down, reached for his chopsticks, picked up a dumpling, put it on a plate, and then slowly cut it open with a spoon. Even on such an occasion, the order of eating dumplings did not change.
Xu Siqi sat behind his desk and looked at Shinji Kuranaga quietly.
After a while, he suddenly asked: "Shinji, why do you want to eat the shrimps in the dumplings first?"
"I don't know." Shinji Kuranaga replied without raising his head.
"Were you like this when you were a kid?"
"Can not remember."
"What do you remember about your childhood? Can you tell me about it? I like to listen to other people's childhood stories the most."
Shinji Kuranaga stopped his chopsticks, looked at Xu Siqi carefully for a while, and said, "Excuse me, Detective Xu, do I know you well?"
Xu Siqi smiled: "Well, you only need to tell me one thing, the thing that impressed you the most, and I will let you go now."
Shinji Kuranaga's eyes flashed: "Really? Do you mean what you say?"
Xu Siqi said calmly: "As a detective, do I need to lie to a child? Besides, your crime is not very serious. Whether you let him go or not is a matter of my words."
Shinji Kuranaga was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The thing that impressed me the most..."
Xu Siqi said: "Shinji, you can't make up stories. I can tell whether it's true or false."
"To borrow what you just said, I don't have to lie to you."
"That's good. You continue."
"When I was four years old..."
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door.
A patrolman opened the door and walked in, bowed and said: "Inspector Xu, there is a Mr. Qiu Shan who wants to see you."
Xu Siqi frowned: "Which Mr. Akiyama?"
"It's Kaori Akiyama, the Japanese director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau..."
Before the inspector finished speaking, chaos suddenly broke out in the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, a clear female voice shouted in Japanese: "Shinji! Shinji! Where are you? Don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you!"
Shinji Kurunaga's eyes lit up and he immediately said loudly: "I'm here!"
The door was knocked open with a bang, and the little girl Yumi rushed in with a face of surprise. Regardless, she stepped forward and took Shinji Kuranaga's hand and said, "Shinji, are you okay?"
Xu Siqi stood up and said with a cold face: "Who allowed her to come up? Where is the patrol room! Someone, kick her out!"
"Inspector Xu, calm down."
A middle-aged man stepped in.
Shinji Kuranaga bowed and said, "Uncle Akiyama."
A middle-aged man named Akiyama Ka is the only Japanese director of the Public Settlement Industry Bureau. He has many businesses under his name, the most famous of which is Asia Steel Co., Ltd.
As the largest Japanese-owned steel company in Shanghai, Asia Steel has jurisdiction over Pudong Iron Works and Wusong Steel Works, with a 20-ton iron-forming furnace and a 15-ton electric arc steelmaking furnace.
"Inspector Xu, I'm very sorry. I was not strict in my discipline. If my daughter has offended you, please forgive me." Akiyama bowed in greeting.
Only then did Xu Siqi know that Yumi turned out to be Akiyama He's daughter.
As a director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, Akiyama He lowered his profile and apologized. Naturally, Xu Siqi couldn't care too much about Yumi's behavior of breaking into the patrol room without permission.
