Chapter 66: Friend or Foe

Duran stood outside the door with a tray of snacks.

"Is it for me?" Nagumo asked.

"Yes, the kitchen is fresh out of the oven. Duran said.

"Thank you. ”

Nanyun dodged out of the way, and Duran entered with a tray and put it on the coffee table, and when he straightened up, his eyes swept over the bookcase.

"Miss Xiu, have you flipped through all these books?"

"Ahh......h

Without saying a word, Duran walked over to the bookcase and looked at it for a moment, repositioning some of the books with a quick movement.

Nagumo was speechless.

She thought she had put the book away, but she didn't expect Duran to see the deviation in order at a glance.

How good is this eyesight?

"Miss Xiu, what the hell are you looking for?" Duran threw her a sharp question in surprise.

"I didn't look for anything, I just flipped through it and didn't find anything I was interested in. Nagumo said.

Duran obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't expose her, but said lightly, "This one is all historical records and scriptures, and few women will be interested." ”

Nanyun glanced at the bookshelf, and sure enough, it was as Duran said.

Previously, she was so busy looking for things that she didn't even pay attention to the title of the book.

This Duran seems to be quite cultured.

Nagumo smiled and said, "There are too many books, it's hard to find." ”

"If you want to write essays, you can go to the bookshelf over there and find them. Duran pointed to the bookcase on the other wall and said, "Sir has been studying the Analects lately, and if Miss Xiu doesn't have a book she particularly wants to read, she can look for it and have a look, so that she and Mister will have a common language." ”

"......" Nagumo was even more impressed by her, feeling that she didn't look like an ordinary maid, but like a female gentleman hired by a noble family in the past.

"Okay, thanks for the suggestion. Nagumo said, "I'll come back after lunch." ”

"It's still early for lunch, you can watch first, and I'll call you when the meal starts." Duran proposed.

Nagumo thought she was weird, wondering if she was deliberately testing me, or trying to secretly observe me while I was looking for a book?

"I'm a little tired and want to go back and squint for a while. Nagumo said, "Anyway, it's not a particularly important matter, and it's okay to come back in the afternoon." ”

Duran seemed to be a little disappointed, didn't force it anymore, and said lightly, "Miss Xiu is at her own convenience." ”

"Can I take this away?" Nagumo pointed to the dim sum.

"Yes. Duran nodded.

"Thank you. Nanyun walked out with a snack, and Duran closed the door and walked side by side with her.

"There are several editions of Mr.'s Analects, some with large fonts, some with small fonts, and different covers. Duran said.

Nanyun looked at her suspiciously, not understanding why she wanted her to read the Analects so persistently.

Is it really so that she can have a chat with Hu Guangzong?

Nagumo is puzzling.

The two parted in the glass hallway.

As he walked, Nagumo pondered about Duran's eccentricity, walked through the corridor, turned into the West Building, and met Jade Hibiscus.

"What a coincidence. Jade Hibiscus said, "I was about to go to you." ”

"What are you looking for me?" asked Nagumo.

"Chat. ”

"Okay, it just so happened that Duran gave me a plate of snacks, let's try it together. Nagumo said.

"Is even Duran's nobody's eyes starting to stammer you?" said Jade Hibiscus sourly.

"Not really!" Nagumo opened the room and invited her in, then locked the door and said, "So you have to find a way to send me away quickly, or you will continue to be jealous." ”

"That night, I thought you were dead. Jade Hibiscus said.

"Got you down. Nagumo said, "The protagonist doesn't die." ”

"What kind of protagonist are you?" Jade Hibiscus was slightly angry.

"At least for now, I'm the heroine of this villa. Nagumo smiled and handed her a piece of pastry.

Yu Furong didn't answer, "I don't eat sweets, I will get fat, and Mr. doesn't like fat." ”

"The king of Chu loves a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace. Nagumo sneered, "Is it worth it for a man?"

"It's worth it. Jade Hibiscus said, "Sir deserves all the women to die for him." ”

It's really poisoned, Nanyun thought to herself, but she didn't plan to wake her up.

There is a saying that you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Jade Hibiscus is the same as the women in this garden, she is paralyzing herself, and she is willing to sink into Hu Guangzong's false gentleness.

"Do you have a way to get me out?" asked Nagumo.

"Two days later, a person I know will come to deliver fruits and vegetables, in order not to attract attention, Steward Zhen stipulates that he will come at night every time, and when the time comes, I will tell him, you go out in his car. Jade Hibiscus said.

"Is it reliable?" asked Nagumo, "a food delivery guy, how dare he take this risk?"

"You don't have to worry about that, he listens to me. Jade Hibiscus said.

Nagumo looked at her, "Could it be that he has a leg with you?"

"Yes. Jade Hibiscus said.

"......" Nanyun was dumbfounded, and he was hit casually, this mouth is really effective.

Yu Furong has a deep love for Hu Guangzong, and she will actually split her legs to deliver food, is she unwilling to be lonely and red apricot out of the wall, or Hu Guangzong robbed the people's female stick to beat the mandarin duck?

Nagumo wasn't interested in knowing, she just wanted to leave early.

Sending away the jade hibiscus, Nanyun was in a daze at a plate of dim sum, thinking about whether to go to the study again in the afternoon to continue looking for it?

That Duran was elusive and unusually cautious, and she was worried that she would see through it.

Nanyun sighed, took a bite of the snack, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, Duran repeatedly emphasized that she wanted her to read the Analects, what did it mean, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a hint in it?

What's in the Analects?

Could it be an account book?

Nagumo almost bit his tongue and stood up.

Duran definitely has a problem!

She put down the half-bitten snack and ran out, wanting to go back to the study to see what was the difference between the Analects.

With her hand on the doorknob, she calmed down again, wondering if this was too anxious, if Duran was really testing her, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Forget it, just wait!

Hu Guangzong was not at home, lunch was much simpler than usual, and after lunch, Nanyun squinted on the bed for a while before going to the study again.

It was quiet all around, Duran was nowhere to be seen, the door of the study was not locked, Nanyun opened the door lightly and went in, and locked the door again.

Locking the door is actually more suspicious, but it can give you a buffer time in case of an emergency.

Nagumo had a clear purpose this time, and went straight to the bookshelf where the Analects were placed.

As Duran said, there are indeed seven or eight versions of the Analects, and Nanyun took out a copy and flipped through it, but found nothing unusual, and put it back as it was.

It's normal to flip through four books in a row, and Nagumo is a little skeptical of his judgment, thinking that maybe Duran just wants to introduce her to the book.

She pulled out the fifth book a little abandoned, flipped to the middle at random, glanced at it, and immediately gasped.

The cover of this book is the Analects, but inside it is actually a notebook, and the pages are densely packed with accounts.

The pores all over Nagumo's body exploded.

Not just because the account books were found, but also because of Duran.

Who is Duran?

The thought that she had most likely gained insight into their secrets made Nagumo shudder.

She shuddered through the account books and filmed them with the invisible camera she had with her.

Behind every transaction record with a different amount, there is a bloody killing, especially the transaction with Meng Chaojie, not only killing, but also animal product processing, domestic and foreign smuggling, Meng Chaojie used his identity as the chairman of the wild protection to match Hu Guangzong, every time a business is introduced, there are huge kickbacks, and the collaborators come from all over the country, including Northeast Chinese.

Nanyun focused on taking a photo of Meng Chaojie's pages with his mobile phone, closed the account book, and gasped against the bookcase.

When she was out of breath, she carefully restored everything to its original state and quietly left the study.

She really wanted to steal the account book directly, but Wan Shan and Feng Hao hadn't come back yet, even if they stole it, it would be impossible to leave it today, in case Hu Guangzong came back and found that the account book was gone, it would be completely over.

The hallway was still quiet, but Duran was still nowhere to be seen.

Nanyun couldn't care about thinking about Duran at this time, returned to his room, hurried to pass the photographed things to the connector, and then sat restlessly waiting for Wanshan and Feng Hao to come back.

At dusk, Hu Guangzong came back with Wanshan Feng Hao, looking at the spring breeze on his face, the trip should be very smooth.

Nanyun greeted them at the door, and Hu Guangzong asked immediately, "Xiu'er, do you miss me?"

"Nope. Nanyun said, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Wan Shan, and he wanted to talk to him if he had a stomach.

Wan Shan's face was faint, but his heart was sour, he hated this powerlessness to death.

Hu Guangzong was not angry, and walked to the hall with Nanyun in his arms, saying, "I know that you are bored at home, and I will take you up the mountain to hunt tomorrow, okay?"

"What are you hunting?" asked Nagumo.

"Do you remember the leopard we met that night?" Hu Guangzong slapped him and said, "Someone came up with this number today and wanted to buy a leopard as a pet, and I took the order." ”

Nanyun chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Wanshan who was walking beside him.

Wan Shan was expressionless, and he couldn't see any clues.

Nanyun thought to himself, Hu Guangzong should not let Wanshan participate in the hunt, as soon as the thought came up, Hu Guangzong spoke, "Dapeng, you have a good rest tonight, and we will go together tomorrow." ”

"He's not healed. Nanyun blurted out, and was afraid that Hu Guangzong would suspect him, so he hurriedly said, "We just guessed that night, and we weren't sure that it was the real money leopard, besides, it was a big living thing, wandering all over the mountains, and it was impossible to wait there." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, we have our own way. Hu Guangzong said, "Although I didn't see it clearly that day, but from its size, speed and strength, eight out of ten is correct." ”

"Oh. Nanyun replied in vain, and his heart was worried about the money leopard.

During the night, Nagumo ventured out and slipped into Wanshan's room.

Wan Shan and Feng Hao hadn't slept yet, and Nanyun didn't have time to talk nonsense, so he directly told him about finding the account book.

The two were overjoyed.

"It just so happens that Hu Guangzong is going to take us up the mountain tomorrow, and then we can take the opportunity to slip away and return to Banna. Feng Hao said excitedly.

The days of not seeing the light of day can finally come to an end.

Wan Shan was also very happy, but compared to Feng Hao, he was a little more cautious.

"You must be careful tonight, that Duran doesn't know whether he is friend or foe now, if it passes safely tonight, it means that she didn't tell Hu Guangzong, otherwise, we will be in danger tonight." ”

"I'm more of a friend right now. Nanyun said, "Otherwise, she could expose us as soon as Hu Guangzong returns." ”

"Yes, I think so. Feng Hao said, "Maybe she was also sent by an undercover agent from some department." ”

"Anyway, be more careful tonight, if nothing happens, after entering the mountain tomorrow, let's not disperse and find a chance to escape. Wan Shan said.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Nagumo said.

Wan Shan sent her to the door and repeatedly instructed, "You must be careful yourself, don't sleep too hard, I wear headphones, and call me if you have something." ”

"Got it. Nanyun reached out to pull the door, the phone suddenly vibrated twice, Nanyun took it out and saw that it was a message from the connector.

The message is to the effect that photos and videos are not enough to build a case, and that they must find a way to get the originals.

The three of them were dumbfounded.

At this time, it is impossible to go to the study again, and tomorrow morning I have to go up the mountain again, so how can I have time to get the account book.

And in this way, the plan to escape tomorrow by hunting will not work.

"What should I do?" asked Nagumo in frustration.
