Chapter 220: Covert Investigation

Liao Wan? As she walked from the cabin to the deck, her eyes squinted by the harbor sun, she glanced back at the boundless sea, and then looked down at the shore as she regained relief from the fear she felt after the shipwreck.

Although she also knew that she would not be so unlucky, and she would encounter a situation on the ship, but the tragic situation of the passengers before the silence of the steamer, the fighting and killing each other in the sea for a lifebuoy, and even the difficult survival experience on the isolated island, everything is vivid.

In particular, the look on the look of the child, whom she did not save in the end, and the look of the mother who entrusted the child to her, made her look restless after the sailing.

According to the arrangement of the seventh master, Zhu Tao still accompanies Liao Wan? went south to Luzhou, but this time she didn't pretend to be Liao Wan like Zhifeng and Xiaoxiao? , but directly pretended to be her sister.

At first, she thought Liao Wan? was worried about Xin Xiaoyue, and later saw that she seemed to be drowning in her dream when she was sleeping in the cabin, and after waking up, she asked, Liao Wan? I talked to her about the shipwreck.

It was the first time she had been with the same outsider to describe her experience carefully.

After hearing this, Zhutao understood that she was not afraid of the sea, but that when facing the sea, she would think of those people who had died in front of her eyes, and enlightened them for a while before she soothed them to sleep again.

After that, she put on her coat, took a cigarette and a match and walked up to the separate deck of the first class in the night, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

She didn't persuade her to forget, because she knew that such a scene could not be forgotten. After all, nearly two or two years have passed since their family was killed by bandits, and she can still remember the eldest brother who was lying on her at that time, and she didn't look blind.

She used to be a little called Huazi, through money and food, and later someone lied to her that a big family would not starve when she was a maid, but she didn't know until she went that it was not an ordinary big family, and their group of seven or eight-year-old children were not going to be girls from rich families.

Fate always brings ups and downs when she is unprepared, and she has no choice but to accept it.

Like Liao Wan? All the same, they are just puppets played by fate in applause.

But even if they are being pulled by the invisible thread of fate, they always have to make unlimited efforts in limited choices.

"Sister, I'll help you mention one." This time, there was no Qian Er to accompany him, and the people sent by Xie Yuru were secretly protecting, although Zhu Tao insisted on carrying two boxes by herself, Liao Wan? Still embarrassed.

"This weight is really nothing to me, you haven't slept well in the past few days, I see that I dream every night, so save some effort!" Since knowing about the shipwreck, Zhu Tao to Liao Wan? The tone of the speech was better than before.

Liao Wan? The strength is indeed not as great as the bamboo peach, she refuses to let go, and she can't grab it, so she follows behind her and walks to the shore step by step.

The wooden staircase under his feet was clattered by high heels until it finally fell to the ground, Liao Wan? I felt a palpable sigh of relief.

She didn't tell anyone when she came back this time, the house she rented earlier to live with her brother had already been withdrawn, and she went directly to Lin Keji's house for fear that there would be too many people and spread the news of her return, so she planned to stay in a hotel with Zhutao for two days, inquire about the situation in Luzhou, and then choose a place to rent a suite as a place to stay.

Out of the port, the two took a rickshaw together for the convenience of talking, but fortunately, they were both slender figures, and they actually had some surplus after sitting down.

"Uncle, how have you been doing business lately?" Zhu Tao is experienced and knows that these people who do hard work at the bottom of the society, especially the rickshaw drivers, are the most well-informed, so not long after getting in the car, she began to talk.

The coachman looked to be in his fifties, because he was in the middle of the sun, thin and dark, and after hearing the guest's question, he said "oops", "What to do, now many places have been taken over by the Japanese, and outside the concession of Wulongyu, life in Luzhou City is not easy." ”

He pulled the car around an intersection, and had to stop because he was dodging a car with a Japanese flag, "You see, this kind of car is Japanese, you have to give way, otherwise you will be killed in vain." ”

Liao Wan? Remembering a small group of Japanese soldiers patrolling the port, he asked, "Could it be that the port has also been taken over by the Japanese?" ”

The rickshaw driver picked up the towel around his neck and wiped his face, "That's not true, the port is still Mr. Lin's territory, and we are still under Mr. Lin's care." It's just that Mr. is not easy. ”

Liao Wan? It is conceivable that Lin Keji is not a person who likes to cheat in the rivers and lakes, he only wants to teach, if it weren't for the thousands of people in various industries under his command, he would have been a simple teacher long ago.

Now the Japanese are arrogant, and Lin Keji is under a lot of pressure in order not to make his subordinates suffer too much loss.

"Hey, two young ladies, you haven't said where you're going!" When the coachman was in the port before, he saw the Japanese soldiers coming, so he hurriedly pulled the car and ran away, without asking the customer's destination, and then he remembered apologetically.

"You can just send us to a hotel, it doesn't need to be too expensive, and it doesn't need to be in a bustling place in the city, quiet and quiet."

The coachmen ran around on the road all day, knowing best whether the streets were noisy or quiet, where the hotel environment was good, saying that it was no problem, pulling the car and running again.

After arriving at the place, Liao Wan? After paying the money, I walked into a place with a plaque that said "Comfort Hotel", and after driving through the room and settling down, the two of them checked the suite separately, and sure enough, it was as they asked the driver, clean and tidy, but also quiet and quiet.

"Sister, what should I do next?" The seventh master trusted Zhu Tao very much, and instructed Liao Wan before leaving? Be calm, and be sure to discuss with Zhutao before doing anything.

Zhu Tao stood by the window, picked up a gap in the white transparent gauze curtain, and observed the backyard outside the window from the gap, "You don't want to do anything for the time being, I am a fresh face, and I am not afraid of being recognized anywhere." Therefore, in the past two days, I have been inquiring about various places where there are many people. We always have to know what kind of status and ability Zhen Gu is in Luzhou now, so we can find a way to move him. ”

Liao Wan? Although he has been away from Luzhou for a long time, after all, he is a native of Luzhou, and there is still the possibility of meeting past acquaintances on the street, and Zhu Tao thinks very carefully.

After the two reached an agreement, Zhu Tao did not stay in the hotel to rest, but seized the time to take a shower and change her clothes. I went to the largest and most visited café in Luzhou City.

Zhu Tao has a gorgeous appearance, and the carefully painted makeup is even more eye-catching, and the waiter at the door of the café politely leads her to a table with a good view, and politely serves the menu.

"I've heard that you guys are the most authentic café in Luzhou, or is it true?" The bamboo peach accent is not from Luzhou, and it is simply not hidden.

When the waiter heard such a beautiful lady ask him, of course he answered attentively, "Don't hide it from Miss, our family in Luzhou is definitely the most authentic and has the most complete variety of coffee beans." ”

Zhu Taoyu swiped across the various coffees on the menu, and finally showed a distressed expression, "If you recommend me the best one you make." ”

"Okay, okay, does Miss prefer something bitter or sour?"

"I don't like it, I like it sweeter." With that, she winked at the waiter.

The young male waiter hadn't seen beautiful women, but most of those women were not very close, not as talkative and lively as the one in front of him, so he stared at Zhu Tao for a while, if Zhu Tao hadn't called him, he didn't know when he would have seen it.

Zhu Tao doesn't have a special preference for coffee, and she didn't come here to taste coffee, so she asked the waiter to arrange it at will, and she took out the makeup mirror and lipstick in her handbag and touched up her makeup in a big way.

She observed the person behind her through the small mirror that kept changing direction, and the lipstick in her hand kept dotting on her lip flap for dozens of seconds before she put away the mirror and lipstick.

When the waiter came with coffee again, Zhu Tao gave him five yuan to consume, and the tips of his fingers touched the palm of the waiter's hand as if nothing, and Zhu Tao showed a bright smile after seeing him tremble for a while.

"You say that you are the best in Luzhou here, but I don't believe it, you see, your guests here look really ordinary."

The work that the little waiter was proud of was questioned, or was questioned by the young lady who thought it was beautiful, so he naturally had to explain it to himself, he leaned over slightly and approached Zhutao, lowered his voice and said, "Miss, don't talk nonsense, many of the customers in our store are big people, although they look inconspicuous, they are low-key." The old gentleman behind you, although he doesn't look luxuriously dressed, is a big man in our Luzhou government. ”

He turned his gaze in the same direction, "The gentleman who reads the newspaper at the two tables to your left is also a good speaker at the police station." ”

Zhu Tao's eyes rolled, and she looked impatient, "Then I heard that there are a few characters in Luzhou who are top quacks, and they all come to you?" ”

The waiter scratched his head when he heard this, "I don't know exactly what you said about the small ones, but recently, a few Japanese officers and Mr. Zhen, the most powerful of the younger generation in Luzhou, have come often." ”

Zhen Gu's surname is relatively rare, and after hearing it, Zhu Tao was sure that it was Liao Wan? The person who said it had to ask, "Mr. Zhen, what I know is Mr. Zhen Gu Zhen, right?" ”

When the waiter heard her say this, he thought they knew each other, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it's Mr. Zhen Gu Zhen." It's a pity that the gentleman comes every morning, and you missed it today. ”

Zhu Tao nodded as if she didn't care, thinking that her luck was really good, and when she arrived at a café, she actually found a habit of Zhen Gu, and then she went to other restaurants or clubs to investigate, and she didn't believe that she couldn't figure out Zhen Gu's daily habits.
