Chapter 159: Suspicion

Johnson replied while rummaging through the drawers, during which he did not forget to raise his eyes from time to time to glance at Tang Shubai's reaction: "She kept saying that there were Oriental agents who kept following her and threatening her, and she decided to join me again in order to save her life, and she brought this to show her sincerity." You also know that I have always been very sincere, and I believe it when she says that. Then I sent someone to listen to the threatening phone calls she said, and guess what the result was?"

Tang Shubai stared at a manuscript in his hand expressionlessly, and even took the initiative to get up to pick it up.

Seeing this, Johnson expected that Tang Shubai would probably not answer, so he raised his eyebrows and asked himself: "There is another monitor in her apartment, and she doesn't know about it." ”

Tang Shubai looked at the English manuscript written by Li Fengzhu to Johnson, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice with a smile. Then, rather disdainfully, he threw the manuscript on the table and asked, "What did she say...... Oriental agents assassinated her?" The last word "she", Tang Shubai put a strong tone, obviously not a casual question.

Johnson's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up straight and asked him, "Isn't it?"

Tang Shubai tried hard to tug the muscles of his cheeks, but that smile still looked reluctant. He first took out the cigarette case and asked if he could smoke it. After receiving permission, he politely saluted Johnson first, then took one in his mouth and lit it, took two puffs, and explained slowly: "I don't know anything about this, and it is precisely because I don't know anything about it, so I have a lot of questions to confirm." Don't get me wrong, Mister Johnson, I don't believe you. This is all because the Oriental people have a bad job, they like to study the trivial questions, and if they can't answer them...... he said, and the hand holding the cigarette is raised high, and the thumb is constantly scratching in the hair, to show that his caution is purely due to the difficulty of his work.

Johnson touched his nose and repeatedly confirmed that his understanding of the idiom "minutiae" was correct.

Tang Shubai could vaguely sense that there was a hint of cunning in Johnson's voice, and he was already a little uneasy. In addition, Li Fengzhu's small actions behind his back were really out of his expectations, which naturally added a layer of anxiety. After waiting for Johnson's response for a long time, Tang Shubai's words inevitably became more: "But overall, the result should not be bad." Because as far as I know, we have not lost any personnel in the near future. ”

Originally, Johnson took the cigarette in his hand, but kept playing with it between a few fingers. At this time, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, just took the lighter and lit it and smoked it, and his idle left hand circled around the temple, indicating that he was recalling: "That night, Li almost ......" When he said, the two fingers of his left hand were clamped, stretched out to the side of his neck and pulled, and a low scream came out of his mouth, "Before my person made a move, a mysterious person shot first." You say, could the listener have been put by a mysterious person?"

Tang Shubai, who had a dignified face, spit out the cigarette in his mouth, as if he wanted to use the smoke to create a curtain that could cover his small movements. Johnson's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood from the beginning, undoubtedly trying to dig a hole for him to jump. Tang Shubai sneered twice, snuffed out the remaining half of the cigarette, shook his head and said, "Your statement is far from the rumors." ”

Johnson calmly and quickly asked, "Why, the results you found are consistent with the rumors?"

Sure enough, this performance was completely a sentence by sentence, and Johnson vowed to pull out the pigtails from Tang Shubai's mouth. Johnson sent Pitt to Li Fengzhu's apartment, which was very rewarding. Even Li Fengzhu was aware of this, so much so that he asked Johnson face-to-face if Pete had kept any information. This reserved information is now completely clear, that is, without Li Fengzhu's own knowledge, a monitor was installed in her apartment. After that, it happened, and the strange thing of killing a mysterious person to save Li Fengzhu's son was killed all the way. Johnson was puzzled and asked Pitt to review and analyze again. Pitt said that Li Fengzhu moved one after another, completely getting rid of the eyes sent by Johnson, so there are actually not many people who have the address of her apartment, and even fewer who can afford to have a listening device. As absurd as it sounds, Tang Shubai is the only suspect in Pete's mind.

In order to unravel this fog, Johnson decided to sell Li Fengzhu without hesitation, attract Tang Shubai, and try it step by step until the truth is revealed.

I saw Tang Shubai twist his neck, hide one hand under the table, rub the buttons on his clothes back and forth, and said with a forced smile: "I just started checking a minute ago, and I can't talk about any results." ”

Johnson let out a long laugh, but his face did not change any emotion, followed by a low snort, and said, "I thought you had already figured it out, after all, you are not ordinary about Li." ”

Tang Shubai's hand touching the button suddenly paused, lowered his head for a wry smile, and replied after a long time: "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, you have learned this sentence well." ”

Johnson stroked his sideburns, his face suddenly sank, revealing a ruthless look, and said: "I think that the person who can't be subdued is the enemy, and the enemy should let her disappear as soon as possible." I wonder if Misterton thinks that's right?"

Tang Shubai secretly gave Johnson a comment in his heart, thinking that he was unreliable in addition to being vicious, and Li Fengzhu was also blind, and he would come to take refuge in such a scum. Because of this, he didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly got up before he finished speaking, indicating that he wanted to leave: "The rule of my work is to obey orders." ”

"Good!" Johnson gave a thumbs up neatly, although he didn't fully understand the meaning of these four words, but the question he wanted to test could already find the answer in Tang Shubai's expression. Tang Shubai won't kill Li Fengzhu, at least not now.

As for why not killed, we need to continue to find the answer.

"I've always felt that Editor-in-Chief Tang is very special. Johnson's five fingers beat easily on the table, successfully leaving Tang Shubai, who was about to leave, in his seat, "You will look special when you stand in the Oriental consulate, because you don't seem to be as greedy for money as you appear." And you are still special in the bureaucracy of your country, because you have not shown enthusiasm for power either. If you don't love money or power, then what are you doing in Jinmen?"

Tang Shubai's slightly raised upper body had to sit back again, moving the muscles on his cheeks to make a smirk, and replied: "Chinese are very particular about learning and being useful, and realizing personal values and ideals is sometimes more attractive than wealth and power. ”

Johnson laughed three times in a row and said, "I see." I thought that only stupid people liked to talk about ideals, but I didn't expect that Editor-in-Chief Tang also had ideals. ”

Sometimes, if the joke is too big, it means that the other person is serious. Johnson has begun to doubt Tang Shubai's identity and the real reason why he bothered with Li Fengzhu. It's no wonder why there is a sudden overwhelming rumor that the Communist Party bravely rescued the son of the famous journalist Li Fengzhu in order to achieve the purpose of winning over and subduing him. It seems that Johnson preemptively concocted a plausible rumor to try to get the intelligence he wanted through the reactions of all parties.

Tang Shubai kept an expressionless face, tilted half of his head slightly, and stared at the cloudless scenery outside the window for two seconds. The corners of Johnson's mouth twitched upward, and he replied without showing anger: "You are also very special in this way." Your country's ideal of conquering the Far East has been around for a long time, so why did you choose a person like you who has a contemptuous attitude towards ideals to take charge of the news battlefield?" Then he stretched out a hand and said goodbye to him in an eager manner, "We must appreciate your kindness, as for what to do, I have to consult the upper peak to know." ”

Johnson calmly shook his hands back, making it quite strong, and even refused to let go for a long time: "I want to ask Goto to have a cup of afternoon tea, I don't know if I can bring you a word, can I bring it?"

"Of course you can bring it. Tang Shubai narrowed his eyes, hiding the deep disdain in his heart, "Goto-kun trusts me a lot, because I know everything about him. Then, with a flick of his arm, he tried to pull away. However, when he walked to the door and turned his head, he saw Johnson with a mysterious smile in his eyes, looking at him all the time.

Tang Shubai raised his shoulders, calmly walked back to pick up the manuscript on the table, and said with a smirk: "I almost forgot to take it, otherwise you should be suspicious that I don't report it." ”

Johnson didn't say anything, just leaned back in his chair and laughed. At this time, he believed in the saying "feng shui takes turns", no matter how unlucky a person is, it is impossible to make a wrong bet every time, and he is very confident that his achievements are close at hand.

###

On the other side, Tang Shubai rushed all the way into the car. After a few brushes, I pulled up the black curtains all around. took out the manuscript paper on his body, and almost crushed the footer with hatred, but he never had the intention of opening it and looking at it again.

At this time, the car door suddenly snapped twice, and suddenly opened and slammed again. Li Fengzhu, whose face was pale, appeared in the passenger seat, her trembling body like chaff, silently indicating that she had suffered a lot of fright: "If I were you, I would have borrowed a knife to kill people a long time ago." But why are you ......" Before the words were finished, a scene in Johnson's suite flashed in Li Fengzhu's mind. She saw Johnson's cold and treacherous attitude at that time, so she had to follow Johnson's footsteps and eat a closed door outside the bedroom door. Just as she let out a breath of turbid breath from her chest in despair, an orange light flashed and flickered at her feet, and it was about the width of a door. She shook her head dumbfounded, and after making sure that she was not mistaken, the cold sweat oozing from her back had already folded three layers.

Li Fengzhu didn't have time to think too much, she only knew that she was calculated by Johnson very much today. His right hand subconsciously reached out to the wall and touched it, and sure enough, there were two imperceptible cracks. In such a short period of time, it was impossible to understand everything, and her only thought was to leave quickly. As soon as she closed the door to the suite, her legs ran uncontrollably driven by fear. She ran all the way to the other side of the Hai River, and the wind on the bridge blew a little cool in her ears, so that she could gradually calm down. She almost collapsed when she ran under the bridge, and could only sit down on the edge of the pier, holding her head and gasping for air. And the light kept flashing in her mind, bewildering her.
