Li Fengzhu immediately spoke: "Director, I have two requests. ”

Xu Xinqi laughed: "With the current situation, even if you have ten requests, the editor-in-chief will not dare to refuse." ”

Li Fengzhu pinched each other's left and right hands, and walked step by step in an orderly manner: "I want to move to a dormitory in the back street, which not only saves me the cost of renting and transportation, but also makes it very convenient for me to work." ”

There is no difficulty in applying for a dormitory for non-Tianjin employees, Xu Xinqi nodded non-relentingly, and then asked: "Are you in a hurry for this month?"

Li Fengzhu thought for a moment and replied: "Before the trial of the abandonment case, for now, I'm afraid we will have to stay up all night for this case!"

Xu Xinqi slowly took out the list of applying for the dormitory from the drawer, raised his head, and carefully recalled the dormitory occupancy: "For the sake of convenience and safety, it does make sense...... However, if you are in a hurry, there are no private rooms for the time being. ”

As long as he moves into the apartment, no matter where he goes, he can temporarily ensure his safety for a few days, Li Fengzhu naturally has no picky conditions, and promised: "It's okay to live together." For the time being, the dormitory seems to me to be just a place to lie down when I'm tired. ”

However, Xu Xinqi was a little reluctant: "If you want to rush the manuscript in the dormitory, we have something to say first, and the details of the abandonment case must not be spread." Oh, and by the way, there's a single room in the attic. Because it was very uncomfortable to live in this season, the colleague who lived there before rented another house, so it was vacant. ”

He was already excluded from the post of deputy editor-in-chief, but if there is a major breakthrough in the case of family abandonment, then the situation may be reversed. In this regard, on the premise of not affecting the completion of the report, Xu Xinqi also does not want to share this credit with the fourth person.

It's hard to live in an attic in the summer, but it's also better than being watched.

However, in order to achieve the next request, Li Fengzhu pretended to be embarrassed, his right hand slightly clenched his fist and knocked on his forehead, and hesitated: "I...... Well, I can bear to watch it for the sake of work. The other thing is...... Can you pay me this month's salary in advance?"

This is a very difficult condition for Xu Xinqi. If the employee has special needs, there is not much problem with the advance, but the trouble is that he has not had time to make a final conclusion on Li Fengzhu's treatment.

Naturally, a journalist who runs in the field is paid a higher salary than an office, and since the title of "Deputy Director of the Department of Information" is printed on the business card, it cannot be completely unindicated. But how much should I say, especially after the unexpected peachy news caused Wang Fuchun's dissatisfaction, how should I talk to the above?

Originally, there was a month to slowly buffer and slowly think of ideas, but unexpectedly, Li Fengzhu was in a hurry to make this request, which caught Xu Xinqi off guard: "Your salary, I want to take advantage of the editor-in-chief's happiness to mention the issue of allowances, and the specific amount of money you will be paid for a month will be ...... temporarily."

The difficulty of obeying the voice is not that the advance is not allowed in the charter, which is enough to solve the urgent need. Li Fengzhu hurriedly sat up straight, and begged politely: "Is it okay to give me my share according to the standards of ordinary field reporters in the agency first......?" I'm in a bit of a hurry at home. ”

Saying the words of picking up the family to the north directly is very conducive to obtaining Xu Xinqi's consent, but it will inevitably increase the danger of the journey. Therefore, Li Fengzhu could only vaguely deal with the matter.

"That's right...... I'll have to ask first. Xu Xinqi picked up the pen, lowered his head and quickly filled in a few strokes on the dormitory application form, and peeked at Li Fengzhu who was still anxious, and knew that there was indeed something unspeakable. With the current situation, he naturally decided to help, "However, there should be no problem." ”

Li Fengzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together, and made a gesture of gratitude: "Then there will be labor." I'm really just having a temporary hard time, and when this month passes, everything will be fine. ”

Xu Xinqi nodded, and he didn't dare to be curious about her private affairs. Silently filled out the form, pointed to the signature box at the bottom, and asked her to write her name. When she buried her head inadvertently, she pretended to casually ask a question: "By the way, there is a big mistake in the Daily News Agency, do you know about this?"

When Li Fengzhu heard this, he drew the last hook extremely hard. It seems that when he met Tang Shubai at noon, he still didn't tell the truth. Something more serious than an antique failure should have happened last night. But didn't he say that he didn't want to be embarrassed, or did he just want to negotiate with Sakamoto Hayashi Zhi alone, and it was inconvenient to talk about it in front of Li Fengzhu, or was he deeply involved and was reprimanded by the Japanese and ordered not to leak it to the public?

No matter what it is for, it has nothing to do with Li Fengzhu. What she should do now is how to avoid being suspicious of the people around her and getting closer and closer to the Daily News Agency, so she replied with a deep meaning: "I don't know! I am a person with almost no personal communication, and I occasionally interact with people out of work needs, so I have to be perfunctory." ”

Xu Xinqi smiled awkwardly at the corner of his mouth, and then continued: "This is also what my colleague who runs diplomatic news told me." The consulate is keeping this confidential for the time being, so there is no completely conclusive information at the moment. But...... I'm afraid that Tang Shu Baijun has an unabscable responsibility. ”

This is right, and the abnormality that Tang Shubai showed just now is completely reasonable to connect with such a antecedent. Traitors are a group of people who have no way out, they are not welcome anywhere, and if they lose the protection of the Japanese, their lives will be in danger. Even if he can find another backer in a short time, such a repeated position will almost be a blind man riding a blind horse and approaching a deep pool in the middle of the night for the future.

The Japanese Consulate, this seems to be another clue that will intersect with Ma Shouhua's abandonment case.

Li Fengzhu was entangled repeatedly, and finally put aside all kinds of personal inconveniences without accident, and expressed concern about this: "What kind of situation is it?"

Xu Xinqi looked at her and smiled slightly, and then replied: "There is a killer who has infiltrated Fang Qian's club, although he is lucky and only slightly injured, but he can't stand his advanced age, it is difficult to say that there will be sequelae." ”

The seriousness of the matter has reached the point where Li Fengzhu has no time to avoid suspicion. She wrinkled her brows and carefully recalled the scene at lunch, and immediately judged that Tang Shubai's current situation was very bad, and hurriedly asked: "Then what kind of suspicion did the consulate use to investigate Tang Shubai, dereliction of duty or rebellion? I think that Tang Shubai's previous investigation into the failure of the assassination plan of the Aoki Mansion can almost conclude that he is involved in the spy spy on Ma Shouhua. But from the perspective of the Japanese, Tang Shubai inadvertently let us get the news, which was a major mistake in his investigation. It was only a few days before the news came out that he had angered the consulate, could it be that he was playing on the topic?"

Xu Xinqi touched his chin and thought for a while before replying: "Judging from the fact that he has not lost his freedom of movement, it seems to be the former." You have to know that the official meals of the Japanese consulate are by no means as delicious as those of the national government. Ignoring this excuse for a while, he can accept it with the attitude of the government as long as he has connections, but the Japanese are so that the smaller the mistake, the more unforgivable it is. ”

Li Fengzhu folded his fingers and sorted out his thoughts for a moment: "I always feel that things always coincidentally revolve around Ma Shouhua, and the shadow of the Japanese lingers. Another thing is that Fang Xiaorou's position was first aimed at Ma Shouhua, and this morning's editorial was very aimed at Ji Bingzhi. I think that the Daily News Agency played a key role in the case of family abandonment......"

Xu Xinqi agreed with this, but there were no ripe conditions for him to expand the scope of the investigation for the time being, so he sighed: "It's easy to think, but it's difficult to collect evidence." You have to know that if there is such a big problem, whether it is the Daily News Agency or the Japanese Consulate, the security work will be doubled. ”

Li Fengzhu also agreed with the view of not moving, but there was more hope in his heart than in his heart: "At present, it is inconvenient to make a big move, but there is no need to completely give up this idea." Do you think that the Japanese are not targeting Ma Shouhua alone, so how can the newspapers under their jurisdiction only muddy the waters in this regard? At present, we still take the case of abandonment of relatives itself first, and even if the Aoki Mansion and the consulate are involved in the future, it should be handled slowly in the future. When things settle down a little bit, there will always be some negligence on their part, and then we will find a feasible solution. ”

###

The attic mentioned by Xu Xinqi is empty, as long as you don't mind being tired of sprinkling and sweeping, you can get the key immediately under the pretext of rushing the manuscript. However, Li Fengzhu didn't want to move immediately, or didn't want people to see that she was moving.

When it was nearly dusk, she remembered that she had agreed to talk to Mrs. Li on the phone at this time. He walked to the telephone, but he lowered his head and put the phone down.

Then, hurry back to the apartment. When you enter the house, the curtains are completely open. After meditating for a second, he opened the window for ventilation, and closed the curtain again, leaving only a small slit. As the night breeze blows, when the curtain is raised high, it can still allow those who are interested in peeping to get some information, but it will not form a strong contrast with the crazy vigilance in the morning.

I walked to my desk, turned on the light calmly, took out the manuscript paper, and wrote as usual.

About an hour later, Li Fengzhu stretched his waist and got up, showering and changing clothes as usual. As used to work night shifts, lock the windows. The only difference was that I put a change of clothes in my briefcase, and then gently threw the notebook into the inner corner of the desk.

Go out the door, insert the key into the keyhole, and turn it slowly. When he turned to leave, his movements quickly returned to his former sharpness, only when he stepped down, he deliberately stepped on it heavier.

The tea room of the apartment heard the movement of leather shoes, raised his head and said, "Is Miss Li on the night shift again?"

Li Fengzhu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, nodded his head a few times, and then said "yes" from his mouth.
