"Why is this foreign girl dressed like this? Hanfu lover or cosplay lover? Sha Ping asked.

"Whatever, little girl, she likes to play. She is of a quarter Chinese ancestry, and I heard that she was brought up by her Chinese grandmother. Her grandmother's enlightenment may have sparked her interest in Chinese culture. Li Man said.

"You knew she was going to let us in, didn't you?" Sha Ping asked Li Man while driving the car to the side road in front of the building.

"It's not that I know, it's that Mr. Zhang knows. How to say it, this girl's personality is a bit lively, and it's a bit of a good thing. Mr. Zhang said that as long as she knew that it was a federal agent who came to ask about the case, she would definitely be curious and let us in. You see, she just let us in. ”

"And then we'll get her dad back through her, won't we?" Sha Ping parked the car in front of the steps.

"Not bad."

"That means if her dad was at home, we probably wouldn't be able to get in, wouldn't we? Mr. Zhang is really strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. Even children are calculating. Sha Ping couldn't help but want to stab Zhang Fei when he mentioned it, although he knew that people were thousands of miles away, and he couldn't hear it at all.

After Li Man finished saying the word "good", he opened the car door and walked out, ignoring Sha Pingping's sarcasm about Zhang Fei. So House and Sha Ping also opened the door on their side and got out of the car.

"I think I heard someone speaking Chinese, didn't I?"

Sha Pingping and Li Man didn't expect that as soon as this very beautiful girl opened her mouth, she actually spoke a standard Northeast Dalian dialect. They both couldn't help but laugh when they listened to this accent with its own funny function.

Sha Pingren had a chance to take a closer look at the girl in front of him. Samantha did not have that kind of European and American appearance, but a mixed-race appearance that I couldn't tell what race it was. That is, there are Asian eyebrows and eyes, and Europeans have a straight nose and high cheekbones. Even if she is wearing a costume now, she can't even see any sense of disobedience, and she is full of things like that in her gestures.

House stepped forward and began to follow the steps of the investigative procedure: "Hello, I'm Federal Agent House. This is Mr. Sha, who was sent by China to learn detective techniques. This is Mr. Sha's bodyguard, Miss Li. ...... are you? ”

"My name is Samantha, and I'm Ritter. Peibo's daughter. Everybody, please come to the house. Something came to the house and said. Samantha said like an adult. The crowd followed her through the door. The interior of the building is not as luxurious as Sha Ordinary imagined, and the interior decoration as a whole reflects a simple and bright style, with few decorations.

"Is Mr. Peibo at home?" House asked.

"He's not here. I guess I'm going to work, I'm going to the office in Manhattan, or I'm going to the lab to the north, I don't know. But now that I am solely responsible for the external affairs of the Peibo family, if you have anything to ask, just ask me, and I will definitely try my best to help you get to the bottom of the matter. Samantha said as she feigned a determined look at each of the three guests. The three couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was a look of worry in their eyes.

"I'm sorry everyone, my grandma is watching TV in the living room, she is chasing "Country Love", the TV in the living room is bigger than other rooms, so she likes to watch there. Let's not disturb her, let's go to my dad's office and talk. Samantha led the group around the living room and continued inside.

Sha Pingxin said: "I'm afraid it's not for grandma to watch TV, but because there is surveillance video equipment in the office, the little girl is still quite cunning!" ”

"Look at your outfit, I guess you like to watch those big heroines' Xianxia web dramas, right?" Sha Ping said as he walked.

Hearing this, Samansha stopped and looked at the clothes on her body, then glanced at Sha Ping with disdain, and then said: "No wonder you want to come here from China to learn detective skills, your vision is really not good." If you are a real good detective, you should see at a glance that this is a pure historical real costume, which has been completely reproduced according to the real objects of the Song Dynasty through rigorous archaeological excavations, how can it be compared with the exaggerated costumes of those brain-dead web dramas? Alas, it's terrible to be uneducated. You are not a young comrade, and since you have come to the United States to study, you must look like you are studying. Quick, take out your notebook and write down what I just said, and it's not in vain that you came to the United States to study. ”

"Poof!" Li Man laughed on the side.

"This kid! The person is not big, but the tone is not small. This is really not the case. Sha Ping said with a smile in his eyes. He could see that the reason why this girl let them in was purely idle and panicked, and wanted to find a few playmates to accompany her to mess around.

While a few people were talking, they had already arrived at Peibo's office. It is said to be an office at home, but it is actually more like a study. The house is very large, more than 150 square meters. The interior style is similar to the outside, without excessive decoration. In the middle of the room was a circle of sofas, and in the middle of the sofa was a coffee table with a tea set and a coffee machine, as well as several bottles of wine. It looks like an arrangement to talk freely with your confidants at any time.

The north wall of the room is made into a huge bookshelf, and a whole wall of books is neatly arranged. Sha Ping stepped forward and took a general look, all of them were professional books on materials science. The south window is a desk, and there is a computer monitor on the desk, and connected to the monitor are four or five devices such as the chassis next to it, which look much larger than ordinary computer equipment. Sha Ping didn't know much about the usefulness of these electronic devices, but it was clear that they were certainly powerful. Under the east wall of the office is a long experimental bench with a sink, an alcohol stove, a small centrifuge, an absorption machine and other equipment. The part of the wall above the workbench that is less than two meters below is divided into large and small cabinets, and there are many things in the bottles and cans. Under the west wall is another large workbench, next to which in addition to a CNC machine connected to a computer, there are also some small equipment for fine metal processing, such as turning, milling, grinding and drilling. Sha Ping stepped forward to take a look, and saw that there were still some metal scraps under one of the vices on the workbench, and it seemed that Pei Bo had been doing research at home not long ago.

A large, half-metre-square photograph sits on the east wall, above the cabinets, and is the only decoration in the office. Sha Ping looked around, looked at the four corners of the room, and just glanced at it and found two surveillance probes. He guessed there wouldn't be just those two probes in this office.

"Sit casually. If you want to drink casually, I won't grind coffee, I will only make tea. Samantha took out a teapot from under the coffee table as she spoke, walked straight to the workbench under the east wall, and brushed the teapot in the sink. House and Li Man sat down on the couch. Sha Ping walked up behind Samantha and looked at the large picture above the workbench.

Judging from the clothing of the people in the photo, it has been at least 10 years since the photo was taken. He counted the 21 people in the photo, standing in two rows on the two steps, the typical kind of family portrait-style reunion photo taken on a whim when the entire unit of staff gathered together for something.

"Do you know all the people up there?" Sha Ping asked as he watched.

Samantha, who was washing the pot, raised her head and looked at the photo on her head, and said, "Most of them are a little impressed." At that time, I was still young, and I spent all day with my grandmother after school, and I didn't go to my parents' research institute to play. ”

"What ethnicity are these three Asians? Is there anyone of Japanese descent in it? ”

Samantha had already washed the teapot at this time, she looked up at the photo again, and then said: "I don't know if there are Japanese, I seem to remember that the one standing in the middle should be Chinese, and I communicated with him in Chinese." I don't know about the other two, but if you want to know the details, you'll have to ask my dad. With that, she came back with the pot to make tea.

"You don't have anyone in your family?" Sha Ping asked.

"Yes. But I didn't let them come. How can the FBI let those ordinary people know about the case? What if the secret is leaked? The less people know about the content of our conversation, the better, you have a good learning attitude now, just ask if you don't understand, I believe that soon you will become a qualified detective. I'm optimistic about you! ”

Sha Ping couldn't help but smile, nodded solemnly, and said, "Thank you for the compliment!" Your kid's mouth is a little broken, but his vision is not bad. ”

"So, what are you coming to my house for?" Samantha asked as she poured her tea.
