Chapter 2: Karma Arises Like Birth [Act 4] Mistaken Body (8)
Confused, Anstar grabbed the only hand-cranked phone in the office, got in touch with Emma, the housekeeper of Andrew's Castle, and soon learned that Lin Jingru had attempted to escape yesterday and was whipped by Andrew. Not only that, but Emma claimed on the phone that the woman had no chance of getting out, which reassured him and Andrew.
"That's right! How could it be her? Putting down the phone, Ancoste remembered the situation in the Far East that was published daily in the major newspapers, and slapped the table heavily -- at present, the Japanese army is in a state of strength, and there is a great possibility of completely annexing Chinese territory in the near future, with Lin Jingru's pro-Japanese family background and her cowardly and indisputable character, how can he fight the Japanese without fear?
It can be seen that the so-called 'Mia' in the mouth of the dormitory manager is by no means Lin Jingru! Moreover, she was able to make the dormitory manager and his girlfriend not notice the abnormality, presumably her appearance was very similar to Lin Jingru!
So, who is the woman who lives with Christina now?
Ancoste's thick eyebrows were frowned, and he was about to contact the secret agent and informant lurking in the school for questioning, when the plainclothes partner who threatened the housekeeper just now suddenly patted his head and shouted: "That's right! The black 'Beetle' that almost collided with our military card just now was not Mayor Shuze's private car? No wonder the driver looked so familiar! Could it be that Miss Shuzer is in that carβ"
"! Don't chase it yet! Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Ancoste threw the cigarette butt in his hand in frustration, raised his tall black boots and crushed it a few times, hurriedly left the dormitory department, and walked quickly to the well-groomed lawn outside the door. There, an iron-gray Volkswagen military truck from the Munich branch of the Gestapo was parked.
For a while, the sirens on campus sounded, and the students and professors walking on the campus looked frightened and avoided them. When the military card was about to hit the rusty iron gate of the University of Munich, the doorman hurriedly pushed it open and let it go away, not daring to stop it head-on and check its identity as usual. They saluted the car with a look of awe-inspiring fear until the military card with the black 'SS' license plate disappeared from sight.
At this time, in the center of Munich, two women held the dark brown paper bag in their hands and turned back the way they came.
Although the originally bustling shopping streets and markets have been significantly depressed since Kristallnacht, pedestrians are also in a hurry and have solemn faces. Christina was in high spirits until the paper bag in her hand was almost broken by the snacks. In contrast, Yuwei only bought a few canned bacon and crude black bread, which looked quite poor and sour.
Along the way, Christina frequently looked at the paper bag in Yuwei's hand, shook her head and sighed: "Mia, you are too saving!" Don't forget the 10-hour journey, eat this and not starve you? β
"Hey, there is a difference between China and the West. That's enough for us Chinese. Besides, it's not easy for parents to make money, so it's better to save as much as possible. Facing the curiosity of her roommate, Yu Wei smiled quite awkwardly, knowing that Lin Jingru was born in a businessman, and she had no worries about consumption. But now that he has taken a share of her, how can he embezzle her money again? This purchase is also a last resort!
What's more, God knows if this money is now Lin Jingru's family in the Japanese-occupied area, wantonly exploiting the income of compatriots? How can we use the ill-gotten gains of traitors to shop overseas on a large scale worthy of those compatriots who are starving and unyielding in China, as well as those anti-Japanese soldiers who are fighting bloody battles but have little military pay?
"Ha, in fact, your family hasn't sent money over, right? Because you didn't have a lot of money to spend beforehand. Christina smiled with relief and was full of emotion, "Thank God that I rejected my father's proposal to study in Oxford at that time and resolutely chose to study in China, which is really prescient!" β
Yu Wei's heart was relieved, and she was glad that Christina's big personality was very good, if she was replaced by a careful person, she would be able to easily find that Lin Jingru was completely different from her just by the detail of expenses. In the blink of an eye, she suddenly remembered Xu Pingjun's doubtful expressions and questions about her before, and her heart tightened.
That day, when she had a dispute with the Japanese, Xu Pingjun's words could be described as logical and sharp, and just by her conversation, it could be concluded that this person was meticulous, and it was by no means comparable to Christina's rough lines. Also, this Xu Pingjun's conversation and temperament are so similar to Ruotong's conversation and temperament, no, it should be said that it is almost the same, what is going on?
