At this time, Xiao Sun had already pulled the towel from the basin rack, took it out of his clothes to wipe his sweat, and smiled with a bit of ridicule: "I said Mi Sili, have you never been to the Italian concession? Along the road, there are all small Western-style buildings, and it is very luxurious to settle down there, even if it is not to buy property, to rent a house to live in! Moreover, Italians are naturally romantic, and they do not want to let the business houses get together, nor do they like to build more boxy apartment buildings. Therefore, the boundaries of the land they are in charge of are all mansions with detached families and large yards. It's still called the door, our poor sour appearance is to beat people in front of the door, and we have to be counted out of two sentences. Let's just say that the windows of the row of houses I saw were not used to dry clothes at all, but a display table of various flowers. Tell me, will people who have the leisure to enjoy the flowers be reduced to the point of having to squeeze under the same roof with seven or eight families?"

When I heard this, many people in the editorial department laughed bitterly, and then began to gossip all over the world.

"Little grandson, don't you understand, why is there no phenomenon of group living in the Italian concession? Lord Yang is very particular about life, and in terms of a single servant, those with thick hands can only do chores, and only those with tender hands are qualified to fold quilts and make beds. And that's not even counting the chef or driver. By the way, there are also old mothers who watch their children. If you think about it, are these coolie sellers also blessed that one person and one house cannot be accomplished? If there really is such a good thing, I will resign today, go to the Italian concession to be an errand boy, and write memoirs when I am old, and there will always be a wide life to brag about. ”

"So, isn't there still a social life? ”

"Yes, even those comprador houses are just as exquisite. The house full of furniture, without three or five account rooms, is not to be taken care of. The Chinese also talk about spreading branches and leaves, marrying several aunts and wives, and each room also requires a rough envoy. In a few years, there will be a young master. Since they landed, they had to ask an old mother to follow them, to say the least. When you grow up, you have to have a companion to read, and when you are older, you have to add a secretary to help you carry your bag. If the old and young from Beiping are left, they have to drag the old slave, and the slave will also have to spread out. ”

Xiao Sun was also happy when he heard it, and said, "Yo, under your calculations, I'm afraid that a house will be squeezed into seventy or eighty households!"

Although this kind of joke is loud, it seems to be separated from Li Fengzhu by an invisible barrier, and they are not compatible with each other. She quietly retreated to her seat. Of course, having said that, with her current popularity, she is stepping harder, and I'm afraid no one will take care of her.

Not to mention these topics that have nothing to do with saving the son, let's talk about the concessions of the nine countries, from the layout, you can see the customs and customs of different countries and different nationalities. In the early years, there was an explicit decree in the Italian Concession that shops were not allowed to open on the main street, and there were also strict requirements for the erection of buildings that were not to be identical. Therefore, the area around it is a gathering place for high-end western-style buildings. Based on Li Fengzhu's experience in running news for many years, this layer of common sense should not be ignored. Then, when she heard the answer "Italian Concession" from Pitt's mouth, she should first come to the conclusion that the Iron Fist is not capable and impossible to settle there.

In summary, the method of tracking the telephone signal is not completely absent, but it is by no means as useful as it seems.

The clues were still scattered and unstrung together, but her nerves were stretched to the limit, and she began to make frequent mistakes that she shouldn't have.

No, it can't be delayed any longer. Li Fengzhu looked at himself, and he was becoming more and more inconsiderate. Even, just a few minutes ago, almost made the terrible mistake of exposing himself. Even she couldn't hold it anymore, let alone her young son and elderly mother?

###

Coincidentally, while Li Fengzhu was eager to solve the trouble completely, Johnson, who had a different purpose but was equally anxious, was also driving to find her. Halfway through, Johnson honked at the speeding rickshaw. On the surface, the two are always peers who eat news, so meeting in public cannot be said to be a real move.

Taking advantage of Johnson's efforts to find a private room that suited his heart, Li Fengzhu's brain began to run rapidly. However, the results do not seem to be very good. She still couldn't understand the deep meaning in Pete's eyes last night. It looked like he had made a special discovery, and he didn't want to tell her. Could it be that Pete was prevaricating, could he have gotten the exact coordinates and chosen to keep them a secret?

This kind of speculation can explain the look in his eyes when he left, but how to explain it before? In Li Fengzhu's later memory, when the phone rang, a trace of strangeness flashed in Pete's eyes, and it disappeared again in an instant.

What does this mean exactly?

Ten minutes later, when the West Cub brought authentic English black tea to Johnson. After he took a small sip, he talked about serious things, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "You said that you were willing to hand over your mother to show your sincerity to me, but as a result, you hid your pillow and clothes in the quilt to deceive me." ”

Li Fengzhu's hand under the table was pinching his thigh, using this to restrain his inner anxiety, and he bluffed and sneered before speaking: "Have I said such a thing?" Are you sure?"

Johnson raised his palm to cover his mouth and rubbed it back and forth twice, secretly cursing an unpleasant swear word, and then rolled his eyes and said, "The one who is close to ink is black...... A new idiom I just learned. ”

This tone, which is indescribably strange, not only expresses dissatisfaction with her cunning, but also secretly carries a bit of curiosity. I was probably curious about what method she had used to make Tang Shubai so attentive to surround her.

However, this curiosity of his is both a force that can be used and a crisis at the same time. If he started to investigate on the side in order to satisfy this curiosity, then Li Fengzhu's big lie would cause a monstrous disaster.

Thinking like this, Li Fengzhu sighed in his heart, and then asked in a calm tone: "What Pete said is reserved, right?"

I don't know if it's because the two have played against each other many times, and even fought for their lives when they were the most intense, so things have developed to this point, and no one dares to rush indiscriminately, for fear that playing the wrong move will affect future actions. Therefore, under the quiet appearance, there is a strange stagnation in the atmosphere.

After going back and forth many times, Johnson moved his back molars and smirked, "I want a detailed translation of the plan." ”

Li Fengzhu also squeezed out a stiff smile: "I want a son." There is a date between us. ”

The two of them collided with perfunctory smiles, and their hearts were disgusted enough by each other, and they hurriedly staggered their eyes left and right.

Johnson wrapped two fingers around him, secretly thinking that he himself was doing intelligence work, and he was most taboo about having spies around him. People like them are like a fleet of ships that sail far away. The helmsman hired the crew at a high salary, and these people were required to work hard. But now it is clear that someone is making money with one hand, and the other is secretly dismantling the planks of the cabin in the shadows. If we don't find out the dogs in and out of the food as soon as possible, the boatload of people will be in danger of losing their lives. In such a critical situation, we must deal with it with 12 points of caution, and we must not mix too many personal grievances.

When he peeked at Li Fengzhu, he couldn't help but recall the tear between himself and her by the window of the high-rise building in Lishunde. This is a wicked woman who eats soft rather than hard, and is full of scheming, and now she has added a fox and witchcraft, which gives Johnson a headache. For her, it is difficult to be ruthless, and it is difficult to be angry when you are respectful. Therefore, he had to put on a paralyzed face that did not show his anger.

As for Li Fengzhu, one hand grabbed the armrest of the chair, and a few fine sawdust that had just been scraped off were embedded in the two nails that had been erected. She is a person who refuses to stop her mind even if her hands and feet stop. However, at this moment, she could still feel the weight of the head on her shoulders, but the brain cells inside seemed to be emptied, so empty that she had no thoughts. Usually, people always use the word "mess" to describe troubles, but for Li Fengzhu at the moment, chaotic thoughts have become a luxury. Messy, it means that there is still a clue to sort out, that is, there is still a way, and it will not end up in such a helpless predicament for her.

In retrospect, what happened was unexpected, but it didn't get out of hand. The process was very bumpy, and there were many crises, but after some hard work, the development of things will most likely follow Li Fengzhu's wishes. And at this critical moment when she was only about to kick the door, her whole person seemed to be dumb, and she didn't know how to continue.

In the end, it was Johnson who was the first to speak, breaking the silence: "Yes, you can wait for my good news tomorrow afternoon." But only if you have the full translation delivered to my desk tomorrow morning. ”

Li Fengzhu lowered his head and secretly thought, at this time, he should throw him a bait, so as to whet his appetite, so he said: "Okay, a word is a deal! Maybe you are too anxious when you wait, I can reveal some useful news to you first." I remember that in the original article, Kanaya applied to the Ministry of War for a budget of about 3,000 yen per company, and the five newspapers calculated it was 15,000. In addition to the 5,000 yen for emergencies, they will spend a huge amount of 20,000 yen a year in the Tsumen press. ”

It is difficult to report to the higher authorities what they say without evidence. Even if it is published in the form of a wire newspaper, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and it is easy to be caught by the handle, which in turn will attack the British media for not acting rigorously.

Johnson thought about it, then shook his head, and said, "You should be very aware of our style of doing things, I need to prove it." Therefore, in addition to giving me a translation, you must also provide strong proof. ”
