With the admission of defeat in the European battlefield, Germany officially became a defeated country, its position in the international arena plummeted, and their interests in the Chinese region have also been greatly affected, China as a member of the Entente, is also one of the victorious countries, the news of the victory in the European battlefield spread to the country, so that many people are excited, they all think that through this victory can at least get rid of the German oppression and exploitation of China, can let the German side return the Chinese land that was once occupied as a concession.

Dong Zhijun was also excited about this, he was full of expectations for the future, and made his own inferences about the future ownership of the Jinmende Concession.

Lao Hongtou is also quite concerned about national affairs, chasing Dong Zhijun and asking non-stop, Luo Lie did not show any excitement, the seed of wisdom planted by his father in his body has already infiltrated the historical trend of the future period of time into his blood, he knows that China, as the victorious country, did not get any benefits from the victory of this war, and the German concession and interests in China were not returned to their original owners, but were given by the great powers to Japan, a close neighbor who was eyeing each other.

This shameless plunder has completely awakened the young people, and an epoch-making change is coming.

Luo Lie picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, history was already doomed, and what role he would play in history, an indescribable sense of loneliness came to his heart.

Dong Zhijun noticed that Luo Lie didn't have much interest in what he was telling.

Lao Hongtou asked: "Governing the army, which means that you don't have to do things for the Germans in the future?"

Dong Zhijun nodded and said: "I am now working for the Jinmen government, and this time I went to Huangpu to close some old cases in the past." ”

Luo Lie's heart couldn't help but move when he heard this, he thought of Bai Yunfei, who was rumored to have assassinated the German consul, put down the tea bowl and said, "Bai Yunfei's case is also closed?"

Dong Zhijun nodded and said, "It's over, Bai Yunfei is dead!"

"Dead?" Luo Lie said in amazement.

Dong Zhijun said: "There is a rumor that the German consul was killed by the Japanese, and Bai Yunfei was just a scapegoat, and the Japanese took a fancy to his business, so they killed two birds with one stone, killed the German consul, and blamed Bai Yunfei for robbing him of his territory in Jinmen." ”

Lao Hongtou slapped his thigh angrily and said, "Damn! There is no good thing in Little Japan!"

Dong Zhijun said: "You are old and discouraged, it's just a rumor. ”

Luo Lie said: "Groundless wind may not be without cause, I think this rumor is not far from ten." ”

Dong Zhijun said: "Bai Yunfei is indeed dead, I have seen corpses, and one of the tasks of going to Huangpu this time is to identify corpses." ”

Luo Lie and Bai Yunfei have also had a few experiences of suffering together, although he disagrees with some of Bai Yunfei's practices, but he has to admit that Bai Yunfei is also a generation of heroes, and when he heard the news of Bai Yunfei's death, he was also a little disappointed in his heart, but he felt that it was not very reasonable for Bai Yunfei's kind of capable character to die like this, but Dong Zhijun said it conclusively, as Yingzi's husband, he didn't need to lie to them.

Dong Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As soon as Bai Yunfei dies, this case is finally over." He has always been in charge of this case, although the German side was defeated, but for him, this case is not closed for a day, and a stone in his heart cannot land.

Lao Hongtou said: "It has been more than three months to identify the corpse?"

Dong Zhijun said with a smile: "It naturally doesn't take more than three months just to identify the body, and the boss arranged for me to participate in the training in Huangpu." ”

Luo Lie said: "It seems that I am going to cultivate my brother-in-law." ”

Dong Zhijun couldn't suppress his joy, and said modestly: "Where, where! By the way, when will my brother come to Dejinmen?"

Luo Lie said: "It's been a while, I'm not planning to leave." ”

When Lao Hongtou heard that he was leaving, he was stunned and said, "Let's go, why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

Dong Zhijun said: "No, you're going to leave when I come, don't you don't like my brother-in-law?"

Luo Lie smiled: "I always have something to do, and I can't do anything if I'm so idle all day long." ”

Dong Zhijun said: "Aren't you a pastor? Xikai Church is about to be built, have you considered seeking a priesthood?"

Lao Hongtou hurriedly shook his head and said, "What kind of pastor should you be? ”

Dong Zhijun smiled: "Grandpa, you don't understand. ”

Lao Hongtou said: "What do I not understand? Isn't it a foreign monk? There is no difference between a church and a temple, and you can go inside to recite scriptures." ”

Luo Lie couldn't help laughing, looking at the big bowl of tea, his eyes became a little confused: "I have a small church in Huangpu, I think, it's time to go back and have a look." ”

Lao Hongtou's face was full of astonishment, he had never heard Luo Lie talk about it.

The courtyard door was knocked gently, Luo Lie got up to open the door, it shouldn't be Yingzi, she wouldn't knock on the door so elegantly, opened the door, but saw Tang Bao'er standing outside the door, Luo Lie was stunned, but Tang Bao'er said with a face full of surprise: "Sure enough, it's you, Luo Lie, do you remember me?"

In fact, Luo Lie was worried that she would recognize Tang Bao'er when he saw him yesterday, which was one of the reasons why he was preparing to leave recently, he didn't expect Tang Bao'er to go and return and find here.

At this point, there is no need to deny it, Luo Lie smiled and said, "Of course I know, Miss Tang is good!"

Lao Hongtou and Dong Zhijun both knew Tang Bao'er, the noble eldest lady was extremely famous in Jinmen. They wanted to get up to say hello, but it could be seen that Tang Bao'er had come to visit Luo Lie this time, so they finally didn't go over.

Tang Bao'er got straight to the point and said, "I have something to look for you." ”

Luo Lie invited her and said, "Come in and sit." ”

Tang Bao'er shook her head and said, "Let's go out and talk." She waved her hand to Lao Hongtou and Dong Zhijun, and said with a smile: "Excuse me!" laughed and revealed two cute rabbit teeth, this young lady is approachable in the world.

Luo Lie said to Lao Hongtou, accompanied Tang Bao'er to leave, and the two came to the woods on the east side of the campus, it was late autumn, the leaves were golden, and the orange sunlight projected into the trees through the leaves, leaving mottled shadows of different shades.

Tang Bao'er stepped on the soft leaves, carrying a beautifully crafted black leather bag in both hands, she wanted to walk more casually and elegantly, but Luo Hunt's steps were very large, so she had to speed up her pace, complaining in her heart that Luo Hunt's performance was not gentlemanly enough.

Luo Lie seemed to realize this, stopped on the path, habitually took out a box of cigarettes, and politely asked Tang Bao'er for his opinion.

Tang Bao'er nodded, she doesn't mind men smoking, she has traveled to study countries since she was a child, although she has an oriental face, but her heart is tolerant and open, she even likes the way men smoke.

Luo Lie lit a cigarette and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't bother to greet you yesterday." ”

Tang Bao'er smiled: "I didn't recognize you at the time, I just felt that the back was a little familiar, and the more I thought about it after I left, the more familiar it became, so I called Qinghong." ”

Hearing Ye Qinghong's name, Luo Lie's hand holding the cigarette obviously paused, the autumn wind blew through, blowing away the cigarette ash, Luo Lie put the cigarette in his mouth again, squinted his eyes at the leaves above his head that were translucent by the sun, and said softly: "She is also in Jinmen?"

Tang Bao'er shook her head and said, "She is in Huangpu, and she asked me to come to you." ”

Luo Lie nodded, he still felt a warmth in his heart, there are still people in this world who remember him, he and Ye Qinghong met in a conspiracy, the exact relationship between them should be an employment relationship, after Mu Sanye's death, their relationship no longer exists.

I remember that when we were separated in Beiping, Ye Qinghong once offered to go to Europe with him, but in the end he refused, and unconsciously more than half a year had passed, he thought that Ye Qinghong had gone to Europe, and maybe he would never set foot on the land of China again, after all, this land had brought her too much harm, and she could hear the news that Ye Qinghong was in Huangpu from Tang Baoer's mouth.

Luo Lie's first thought was the wealth left by Mu Sanshou, could Ye Qinghong's return have anything to do with those wealth?

Tang Bao'er said: "Qinghong has been thinking about you all the time. ”

Luo Lie frowned at Tang Bao'er's statement.

Tang Bao'er sighed and said, "I really don't understand, she is so good to you and so good, why don't you even react at all?"

Luo Lie laughed: "How should I react to Miss Tang's meaning?"

Tang Baoer said: "If I were you, I would definitely love her so much that I couldn't extricate myself!"

Luo Lie laughed.

Tang Bao'er was stimulated by his laughter, stomped her feet and said: "What are you laughing at? Do you know that Qinghong had a serious illness just after returning to Europe, and decided to come back to look for you before the illness recovered, during the time you were missing, she went to Manchuria, Beiping, Jinmen, and every place you could go, just to find you." When she said this, her eyes flashed with tears, and she was obviously moved by Ye Qinghong's infatuation.

Luo Lie took a puff of his cigarette and said, "She used to be my employer, and she and I are not even ordinary friends. ”

Tang Bao'er's eyes widened: "You...... You're so ruthless!"

Luo Lie said: "You are still young, and you don't understand emotional matters." ”

Tang Bao'er clenched her fists angrily, her face flushed: "Of course I understand, it's not that I haven't been in love, Luo Lie, I didn't want to say that Qinghong has a terminal illness, and the doctor said that her life will not exceed three months!"

Luo Lie was stunned, until the wind blew the soot down his hand, and the burning pain brought him back to reality, if he didn't have any feelings for Ye Qinghong, it would be to deceive himself, but after Yan Tianxin's accident, he no longer considered any questions about feelings. After a pause, he said to Tang Bao'er, "Miss Tang's story is good. ”

Tang Bao'er opened her handbag, took out a medical record from it, and handed it to Luo Lie: "Look carefully, you can see clearly,"

Luo Lie hesitated for a moment and took the medical record, the medical record was written in German, from the world-famous German Brain Hospital, Ye Qinghong had a brain tumor, and the diagnosis time was seven months ago.

Tang Bao'er said, "Do you need me to translate it for you?"

Luo Lie shook his head, and he returned the medical records to Tang Bao'er: "When did it happen?"
