Chapter 357: Surprise (6)
But Yoshino's tone was not fierce at all: "You immediately take someone to detain all the idle people in the church, and give me a careful search to see if the secret book is still on one of them, and ask if there are any acquaintances missing from them?" Also, all rooms and every nook and cranny of the entire church must be thoroughly searched, and no trace can be missed! ”
"Yes!" Honda's heels came together and saluted and took orders. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Suzuki!" Yoshino sent Honda away, and called the spy Suzuki.
Suzuki also came out as if he had come out of the ground: "Here! ”
"You go and inform Father Heinrich that because of the urgency of the situation, we must search every corner of the church and ask for his help. Also, ask him to help investigate whether there are any clergy missing from the church. Yoshino commanded.
"Yes!" Suzuki also took the order.
Yoshino turned, dragging his right elbow with his left hand and touching his chin with his right hand, waiting for the result and the answer of fate. He knew that the man who had secretly taken the secret book had either been in the crowd last night, or had been hiding in some unknown dark place, and had waited until the dead of night before sneaking out to cast the incense. Then it is possible that this person, in addition to being a refugee who has taken refuge, may also be mixed with the clergy of the church. So, he had to screen all the people on the scene. Of course, the probability of catching an opponent on the spot is close to zero, and at most some clues can be found.
However, Yoshino also imagined that if his opponent was too cautious, perhaps he would hide the secret book somewhere in the church when he succeeded, and then come back to retrieve it when the limelight had passed. Of course, this is not very likely, so we can only try our luck.
Now, when Yoshino was finally able to calm down, he began to think about how to report the humiliating incident to his leader and teacher, Shogun Hariki, who had lost twice to the same opponent, but he also knew that it was impossible to keep the news from him. With his understanding of Qingqi, it is better for him to hurry up and admit his mistake to General Qingqi after losing the battle. Generally speaking, General Qingqi is still very tolerant of his subordinates with a sincere attitude.
"Go bow to that old pervert?" Somehow, since he "audited" the Haruhi General *** Yoshiko Hirosue, Yoshino became angry at the thought of Hariki, and his former respect and admiration were gone. "Besides, I'll figure it out when everything here is done."
……
Let's say that Miao Cuihua finally bought lotus heart, longan and millet in the south goods store on Gurdian Road, and was excitedly planning to rush home immediately to make porridge for her Lao Jin to drink, but suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder: "Miao Cuihua, see where you are running!" She was really taken aback, and her first reaction was: "It's bad, it's really as Lao Jin expected, this world is not peaceful, it's hard for me to come back to the door and run into a robbery!" ”
She was about to run away, but the man grabbed her shoulders and said, "Good sister, don't even recognize me?" I'm Ah Xiang! ”
Miao Cuihua looked at it, and saw that the person in front of her had a yellow face and thin muscles, was wearing an old cotton robe with flowers, and his long hair was pulled at the back of his head.
"It turned out to be Ah Xiang!" Of course, Miao Cuihua remembers her, thinking that when she was still the "Changsan" in the yard (in the old Shanghai regular brothel, she received three oceans for wine, tea, and overnight, so she was called 'Changsan') when Ah Xiang was her best sister, but her down-and-out appearance made Miao Cuihua really dare not recognize her, only Ah Xiang's eager gaze and face seemed to be the hearty and smiling woman in the past, but she hadn't seen her for a year, and her once plump figure was actually skinny, which really made Miao Cuihua unexpected.
"Ah Xiang, how are you ...... How did you lose weight like this? Miao Cuihua is an emotional person, especially Ah Xiang, who has suffered with her like this, which makes her even more worried, and before she can say a word, the corners of her eyes are already wet.
"It's hard to do business, and life is sad!" Ah Xiang has completely lost her original look, choked up and couldn't speak anymore.
In Miao Cuihua's view, Ah Xiang in front of her is like herself a few months ago. "If it weren't for Lao Jin's 'long-term meal ticket', maybe I would have been as depressed as her!" Looking at the poor Ah Xiang, Miao Cuihua's heart was very sad.
Miao Cuihua did not dislike the dirty, smelling smell of Ah Xiang at all, and hugged her shoulders, two women who were once the same fallen people at the end of the world, but now they are very different, hugged and cried, and even the owner of the roadside south goods store couldn't help but be moved.
After a long time, the two gradually stopped their grief, Ah Xiang held Miao Cuihua's face and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but stroke Miao Cuihua's soft golden gun shawl and praised: "Yo, Ah Lian is still the same as before, has not changed at all, and her skin is more delicate and clean than before, unlike my sister and my old pearl yellow...... Ay...... You're wearing a shawl of golden guns, aren't you? Did you do it at Hongxiang at the intersection of Tongfu Road? That's a place that only the ladies and wives of big families can afford! ”
Miao Cuihua felt so proud when she heard her say this, her tears were still hanging in her eyes, but the smile had already bloomed in the dimples at the corner of her mouth: "What's that?" How can I afford to go to that place, I bought this shawl from Mrs. Green House. ”
You must know that at that time, the most famous men's and women's fashion stores in Shanghai were concentrated in the area of Jing'an Temple Road and Tongfu Road. The four suit shops known as the Four Heavenly Kings were all located on the north side of Jing'an Temple Road (today's Nanjing West Road), and from east to west, they were Pelomont, Royal, Longmao and Hengsheng, and among the four stores, Pelomont was the most famous.
Opposite these suit shops are many famous women's clothing stores. It is concentrated on the section of Jing'an Temple Road from the intersection of Seymour Road (now North Shaanxi Road) to Tongfu Road (now Shimen 1st Road). One of the most famous is the "Hongxiang" company, and there are several women's clothing stores with considerable scale in the vicinity of Hongxiang. Although Hongxiang's fame was famous, it was not the best women's clothing store in Shanghai at that time, and it was not even in the "eyes of those famous ladies and wives" at all. In their view, only a high-end store like MadumGreenhouse is worthy of their identity - this store has a Chinese name "Mrs. Green House", and the store is also located at the intersection of Tongfu Road on Nanjing West Road, which is She's favorite fashion store when she used to connect with Shixin, and is a "holy place" for countless women of all classes and ages in Shanghai.
