Chapter 107: Fu Manchu

"Do you have any friends in Chinatown?" Monet asked in surprise.

Chen Yuanqi gave him a blank look: "Nonsense, you don't really think that you can accomplish so many things by me alone, right?" Someone has to help me find out and answer! Not strictly speaking, you're one of them. ”

Monet thought about it, but he did help him find out something, so he changed his words: "Actually, I'm mainly worried that too many people know and leak your identity." ”

"You know who I am, do you think I need to worry about you?" Chen Yuanqi asked rhetorically.

Monet replied without hesitation: "Of course you don't need it!" ”

Chen Yuanqi spread his hands and said: "Isn't this it, they don't need it, and even in my eyes, they are more trustworthy!" ”

"Well, it's good if you have faith!" Monet replied with a shrug.

Because for the time being, the "Professor Moriarty" had not threatened Mary, so Monet was not anxious about Chen Yuanqi's investigation of him, but when he read the newspaper in the morning a few days later, he was suddenly stunned, because he saw a report in the newspaper: "Because "The Mystery of Fu Manchu" denigrates the image of Chinese, the Chinese Robin Hood predicts the murder of the author Sachs - Romer!" ”

Although it will take decades for "Fu Manchu" to be filmed, the image of "Fu Manchu" appeared as early as 1875 ("Sherlock Holmes Encounters Fu Manchu", is there a feeling of gourd baby vs. Transformers...... Last year, that is, in 1913, "The Mystery of Fu Manchu" swept the whole West, sold millions of copies, and was translated into more than a dozen languages.

The reason why "Fu Manchu" is to slander the Chinese people is because the author admits that "Dr. Fu Manchu was inspired by the boxers of the Boxers, and integrates the intrigues and tricks of all Orientals", and the image is even more creepy "tall, thin, shrugging, bald, with a pair of thin eyes with long upside-down eyebrows emitting green light, a sinister and hideous face, walking without sound, and his gestures all imply conspiracy and danger......"

This image undoubtedly caters to the psychological expectations of some narrow racists, who want to see an evil Oriental devil with a hideous face, mastered in obscenity, dressed in exotic clothes, planning a shocking conspiracy, and finally being defeated by brave and righteous white people...... (By the way, the main actor in Fu Manchu is Saruman in The Lord of the Rings.) )

Monet naturally has no sympathy for such an author, he is worried about Chen Yuanqi, the "Chinese Robin Hood", you say that you will assassinate you, why do you still have the whole teaser letter? Are you Chu Liuxiang or Kidd the Blame Thief?

So he immediately drove to find Chen Yuanqi, but before he could open his mouth to ask, Chen Yuanqi smiled bitterly and asked first: "You won't read this newspaper, right?" As he spoke, he shook the newspaper in his hand that was exactly the same as the one Monet had seen this morning.

Monet was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and asked tentatively, "You didn't do this?" ”

"Isn't this nonsense, I'm not stupid, even if I really want to kill this guy, I won't write to him first to remind him, do you see my previous actions I wrote in advance?" Chen Yuanqi asked rhetorically.

Hearing him say this, Monet breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't do it, I'll just say, there shouldn't be such a fool among my friends!" ”

At this time, Chen Yuanqi said again: "Although this guy is using my name, I really don't feel unhappy, because this saxophone - Romer I also want to clean him up, but he ranks second to Jack London in my mind!" (Because Jack London is referring to the name of the Chinese, the "yellow peril theory" is what he proposed, and even expects to use a virus to exterminate China, so normally his level of hatred is stronger than that of Sachs Romer.) )

"Jack London, you don't have to rush, as far as I know, this guy won't live for two years." Monet hurriedly persuaded.

"Huh? Why do you say that? Do you know that someone is going to deal with him? Chen Yuanqi asked curiously.

Monet shook his head and replied: "That's not it, I just know that his health is not good, he has uremia, and he also has the habit of smoking XX, so he can live another two or three years at most!" ”

"Oh yes, it doesn't really need to get my hands dirty. As for this saxophone, Romer, it's up to this brother who uses my name to succeed, and if he misses, then I'll take it! ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll go to Sheriff Klein to inquire, in short, safety first!" Monet persuaded, and then drove to the police station to find Sheriff Klein: "I heard that Chinese Robin Hood is out again?" ”

Sheriff Klein sighed and said: "You also know that the drunk guy last time was not a real Chinese Robin Hood at all, so it's normal to come out this time, but why does this guy love to make trouble for our police so much, fortunately, the person in charge of this case is not me, otherwise I would have a headache to death!" ”

"So that means that your police still took over the case?" Monet asked tentatively.

Sergeant Klein nodded and replied, "Of course, how can we police ignore such a blatant act?" ”

Then he asked rhetorically, "Tony, why are you suddenly interested in this Chinese Robin Hood?" Looks like you came to inquire last time, right? ”

"Because I think this person is very interesting, I plan to add him to my "Detective Downing"." Monet explained.

For Monet's explanation, Sheriff Klein was still acceptable, but still kindly reminded: "Oh so that's the case, but Tony I suggest you still don't write well, because now the Chinese are very sensitive to this subject, you have to favor them will have a lot of people scold you, but if you write this Chinese Robin Hood to death in it, I'm worried that the guy will turn his head and stare at you, this guy is too cunning, our police have never found useful clues, I don't want your good friend to have an accident!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll wait until you catch him before I write it!" Monet replied very warmly.

PS: This chapter is inspired by the fact that "Shangqi" actually made a death to use Fu Manchu, it seems that the "pride and prejudice" in the bones of Americans for China cannot be removed, so say goodbye to the Chinese market in the future!

PS: Take a day off, and I won't update it tomorrow on June 1st, but I'll have two updates a day for the next six months!
