Episode 32 Searching for an Old Friend

After listening to Xiang Xiaoqiang's "eloquent story", the fourteen grids were already there, like a stone statue, motionless, and his face was pale.

"Finally......" whispered to Xiaoqiang, "I saw that person in the group of reporters...... Lee Bird Watching. I can't be mistaken about what that man looked like, and I could recognize him everywhere at a glance. ”

He looked up at the appearance of Fourteen Gege, lowered his head again, and sighed helplessly:

"I know it sounds like nonsense to you...... This is not surprising. If someone suddenly came up to me and said that, I would think he was insane......"

Fourteen Gege was still expressionless, slowly burying his face in his palms and sobbing deeply.

"Ah...... Ah Fang," Xiang Xiaoqiang gently shook her shoulder, "......Are you okay?" Alas, don't take it to heart, since he's here, he'll always look for ......"

Fourteen Gege suddenly let out a heart-rending cry, and his whole body trembled as he cried.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was frightened, immediately hugged her, and comforted:

"I didn't ...... It's okay, don't worry...... I...... I'm all ......."

Fourteen Gege touched the tears on his face and stood up, choking up:

"Xiang Xiaoqiang...... Afternoon...... I'll take you to the doctor......"

Then he walked out of the room without looking back, crying and trembling.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sat in a daze, dumbfounded, and became like a stone statue, unable to say anything. But he began to scold in his heart, scolding Li Guanniao, scolding himself, and using all the foul language.

……

After a while, he dragged his heavy body and struggled to stand up, slowly picked up the big copper bell on the table, just wanted to shake it, thought about it and put it down, put his fingers on the electric bell at the corner of the table, and pressed it twice.

According to the rules of the Xiangfu, ringing the copper bell is to call a servant or maid, and pressing the electric bell is to call a guard.

A moment later, a personal guard entered. He was a man under Wu Yanbin.

"My lord," the guard asked, "what do you command?" ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang held his faint forehead, and commanded while thinking:

"You ...... You go out into the streets and find someone for Lonely...... Leave this matter to the security team and let them go to the secret investigation...... Give it directly to Ziteng, don't tell Princess Liaoyang......"

The guards noticed something unusual. But he didn't dare to ask, so he had to ask:

"Lord Wang...... Who are you looking for? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang raised his head, played with a pen in one hand, pinched his chin in the other, and said slowly:

"Hmm...... This man is a journalist, or rather, he is a journalist now, but he is not a journalist, he is a very dangerous spy. His real name is Li Guanniao, but he must have used a fake name...... He pretended to be a reporter to attend the Guangwu trial just this morning, and he saw it with his own eyes. This person is about 1.75 meters tall, not fat or thin, does not wear glasses, his skin is neither black nor white, and his accent is ...... It's official, but it's a bit of a southern accent...... He was wearing a gray suit with a gray plaid vest underneath...... Well, it looks like a gray checkered ...... Wearing a top hat, it seems to be gray as well...... I didn't see the shoes, they should be leather shoes, I don't know what color they are......"

As he spoke, the guard busied himself with his small notebook. After the recording, both of them found that this is a "standard person", which means that there are no characteristics of Shenma. People who fit this characteristic grab a handful on the street. The guard felt that it was unrealistic to find someone like this, so he asked again:

"Lord Wang, do you remember what he looked like?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang slowly pinched his forehead and tried to recall it little by little, but it was clear that his face was still very clear just now, and now he wanted to deliberately say "what does it look like", but he couldn't remember it at all. He waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, you can just let Du Ziteng come to see Lonely."

The guards were ordered to go out.

……

Since Xiang Xiaoqiang took Zhao Cunnian, especially after marrying Zhu Yourong and becoming the prince, he has a stomachache and has become more and more loyal to him. Now when he heard this, he did not dare to slack off, and soon ran over:

"Lord Wang, do you want to check people?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang told him what he told the guards again, and then asked:

"Can you check it?"

His stomach hurt and he frowned, his eyes rolled, and he hesitated and said:

"This ...... Don't hide it from the prince, you can check it, but you can check it, but ...... It's quite difficult. Because there are so many people who fit these characteristics...... Lord, as far as the minister can see, this man is worthy of being a dangerous spy, you see how carefully he dresses himself...... Chen dared to say that what he wanted was this effect, and what he wanted was that if it was seen by someone he knew, it would be difficult to find it...... Everyone in our business knows that the best spies must be the most ordinary, not easy to impress, so that they are the safest......"

Waving his hand to Xiaoqiang, interrupting his teasing, he said:

"Ziteng, the widow asks you, is there such a talent in our security team? It is...... It's a kind of painter who can draw a person's face based on other people's descriptions, and he can also paint the best ......."

I was stunned for a stomachache, and immediately smiled:

"Yes! Lord Wang, of course there is! Not only do we have it, but we also have it in the East Factory, and there is also the police station. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a simulated portrait at this time. In his impression, that thing is a high-end technology, something that only the FBI in later movies have. He couldn't help but ask:

"Ziteng, when did we introduce this thing?"

Stomach ache smiled:

"Introduction? It's not introduced, it's there in ancient times! ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly realized, and immediately remembered, what he said is yes! Isn't this thing from ancient times? Wanted criminals in the imperial court, "Zhang Bang Hai Catch", aren't they all posted a portrait at the city gate? That's probably the most primitive "criminal investigation simulation portrait". It's just that with the introduction of Western sketches into China, the level and realism of analog portraits have continued to improve.

The stomach hurt and immediately asked people to go to the portrait artist of the security team. After a while, the portraitist came. Xiang Xiaoqiang sat on the sofa, recalling little by little according to the inspiration of the portraitist, and the portraitist also sketched a rough facial outline with charcoal strips little by little.

"Look, isn't that the case?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang squinted his eyes and said:

"This ...... This chin doesn't quite resemble ...... It doesn't seem to be so narrow, a little wider ......"

"Okay......," the portraitist said, revising it, "what about that?" ”

"Well, the jaw is almost off...... Eyes, the distance between the two eyes is a little wider......"

"Okay...... So what about this? ”

……

About an hour later, a sketch of a similar face came out of the cage. Look left and right at Xiaoqiang and nodded:

"Well, almost, that's him."

Stomach ache and immediately instruct the portraitist:

"Take it to your department and take a photo, and make twenty copies first."

After the portraitist withdrew with the easel in his hand, his stomach hurt and he tried to inquire about the details again. On the one hand, curiosity, on the other hand, more information always helps to find people. But Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't tell him anything else, except that this person was a special person on the Soviet side, and the last time he spent his honeymoon with Shishige and was in Dihua, he saw this person wearing the uniform of a Soviet officer and the NKVD logo, following Tukhachevsky, inspecting the mosque together. As for the rest, nothing is known.

Indeed, apart from this lie, Xiang Xiaoqiang really doesn't know anything else about Li Guanniao.

As soon as I heard that it was such a big fish, my stomach hurt and I immediately became excited, and at the same time, my expression became solemn. - Soviet uniform, Chinese face, that is probably a Mongolian or something Soviet...... I thought about my stomach ache.

He took over the task and went to do it very solemnly.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at his watch, it was already time for lunch. But he didn't have an appetite at all. He wanted to comfort Fourteen, but he knew it wouldn't work. At the moment, Fourteen Gege will not listen to his own comfort, and believes that he has a mental problem. Moreover, the most important thing at the moment is not to comfort anyone, but to figure out what that guy wants to do here...... It's not even five years before he's here......

No matter how you think about it, Xiang Xiaoqiang has a very bad premonition. He always felt that Li Guanniao was coming, and it was definitely not as simple as seeing himself on a whim. And although he has great power in this time and space, he is as weak as an ant in front of the powerful beast of the "Time and Space Administration".
