“…… Radvie Street is not a Chinese quarter, and in previous years, there were no Chinese New Year celebrations. It was only after the two major gangs occupied the place that it began. It is said that the leaders of the two gangs are Chinese, and not only during the Spring Festival, but also during the Mid-Autumn Festival or Dragon Boat Festival, they will also organize activities and distribute free rice dumplings and mooncakes to the citizens who attend. ”

"In the case of zongzi, the meat dumplings are not delicious, but the bean paste filling is delicious. I only like the soft and crispy kind of mooncakes, and the five-bean mooncakes are really unpalatable......"

"Five-bean mooncakes, it should be five-kernel mooncakes!" Chu Yang muttered to himself, but his heart was full of curiosity and admiration for the leaders of these two gangs. To be able to develop the gangster business so much in a foreign country, all TM is talented.

“…… Although there are no big celebrations on Radway Street on New Year's Day, there are still smaller celebrations, so it's still very lively in the evenings these days......

In the introduction of the driver, the taxi slowly stopped at the intersection of a street not far from the city center, and this is the destination of Chuyang's trip - Baker Street.

The street is not wide, only seven or eight meters in shape, and there are rows of plane trees neatly planted on both sides of the road, and the lush branches and branches shade the entire sky above the street, and I think that the dense shade of the trees will bring a lot of coolness to this neighborhood in summer. However, by this time, the leaves had already fallen off, and the bare tree poles were covered with a layer of white snow, which was somewhat gloomy.

"This should be it." Looking at the "99 Baker Street" marked on the door number, Chu Yang stopped looking.

This is an old-fashioned two-story building with a brick and wood structure, and the gray and white walls have been somewhat mottled, revealing the original dark red of the wall tiles. A tall chimney was built up along one side of the wall, presumably connected to the fireplace in the living room.

In front of the house is a small courtyard fenced off by an iron fence, in which some unknown flowers and trees are planted.

At this time, there was a gray-haired fat old man in the courtyard with a pair of scissors pruning flowers and trees, and when he noticed Chu Yang and Richelieu standing outside the door, he directly opened the courtyard door and asked, "Do you need any help?" ””

"Uncle, this is 99 Baker Street, right?" Chu Yang confirmed.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, and the city government staff didn't get the door number wrong, this is 99 Baker Street, my name is Jack, and the neighbors call me Old Jack, and I am the owner of this house." The fat old man was very funny, and as he spoke, he moved away and invited Chu Yang and Richeliu into the house.

"You're here to rent a house! It just so happened that the previous tenant moved out half a month ago, and the rooms and attic on the second floor were empty, so I will take you up to see it first, and then you can decide whether to rent it or not. ”

"No, no, uncle, I think you misunderstood, we are not here to rent a house, we are here to find someone."

"That's okay, it's cold outside, let's talk about it first."

“。。。。。。” Looking at the fat old man who disappeared behind the door, Chu Yang and Richelieu glanced at each other, lifted their suitcases and followed in.

The room is not big, as soon as you enter the door, there is a living room of about twenty or thirty square meters, with sofas and coffee tables and other furniture. It's just like this house, the furniture inside is also very old, but it is very clean by the owner's house.

There is a fireplace on the east wall of the living room, and the charcoal fire inside is burning vigorously, so that the temperature in the whole room is very suitable.

After inviting Chu Yang and Richelieu to sit down, and brewing a cup of coffee with the two of them, the fat old man asked, "Who are you looking for?" Have you ever rented a guest with me? ”

"Yes, uncle, I want to ask you, more than three years ago, was there a ...... with pink medium to long hair, red eyes, and flesh on his face" Chu Yang recounted as he tried to recount while recalling the image of Tirpitz in his mind.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the fat old man.

"You're talking about the North House! Who are you? ”

All right! is worthy of being a lazy and wasteful Tirpitz, who is not even bothered to come up with a serious pseudonym, and directly replaces it with a nickname.

"Yes, it's Beizhai, we're her friends."

"Young man, you are not honest." The fat old man shook his head and said, "If I hadn't looked away, you would be the Admiral, and the girl sitting next to you should be your ship's wife!" ”

"Don't be surprised, I used to be a soldier in the navy, and before the eighties of the last century, I fought side by side with the ship's mother many times, and I also had many contacts with the admiral, so the old man thinks that he is not blind in his eyes, and he will not admit his mistake. So, young man, it's time for you to tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Beizhai! ”

"The North Mansion is the shipwit of my Admiral." It was Richelieu who spoke. "In the past, everyone was separated because something happened to the town guard mansion, and recently the admiral just got the news that the north mansion is here, so he came over directly."

"Girl, if this sentence was said by your admiral, I will definitely drive him out, how can a admiral who can even abandon his own ship mother be a good person." As he spoke, the fat old man glared at Chu Yang before he spoke again: "But since these words came out of your mouth, there must be something hidden in them, and the old man will no longer be nosy." ”

“。。。。。。” Chu Yang was speechless. By the way, he's an admiral! In human society, you can be regarded as a successful person, is your character so insecure in your old eyes. However, compared to the ship's mother, he is more willing to believe Richelieu's words.

Who let the ship mother be the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty in the eyes of those who know a little about them, there is one to say one, there is two to say two, and they will never lie, and the credibility is just now.

"Then, uncle, do you know where Beizhai has moved?"

It's just that the fat old man didn't answer Chu Yang's question directly, but said with a little recollection: "That was probably in March of 2014!" Beizhai found this place with a big suitcase in tow, and wanted to rent a room here. However, she told me that she had no money and that she would not be able to pay the rent until a few months later. But what does it matter, even the old man's life was saved by the ship's mother, even if she doesn't pay the rent, there is no problem at all if she wants to live here...... At the beginning, Beizhai was very withdrawn, rarely spoke, and almost never came downstairs except for eating. Later, she slowly got better, and occasionally said a few words during dinner, and the old man only knew that she was a ship girl abandoned by the admiral...... She cooperated with the publishing house on the street, as if she was drawing some comics for the publishing house to earn money...... Three years ago, on New Year's Day, a ship girl dressed in black found this place and took the North House away......"
