Xiaoya's room is not the point, then the focus is the master bedroom. The bedroom was also carefully searched by the police, and they carefully checked the wardrobe, bed, wall, and floor, and found that the floor under the hanger behind the door was somewhat unusual. Take away the hanger and carefully inspect the floor, sure enough, there are some marks, the design is very ingenious, it looks like there is a dark grid, but there is nowhere to take the floor away. After thinking about it, I pushed the floor hard against the wall, and a crack opened in the floor, and there was a place to focus on. Removing the floor, there was a Browning M1911 pistol, a Parker gold pen, and a copy of Zhang Hatshui's "Curved Bow Collection" published by Yuanheng Books in Beiping in 1932. Close the floor, there are only five bullets in the pistol magazine, and there are no entrainments and marks in the anthology, a gold pen is a little more valuable, it should be used in Xi'an, it is disassembled, the ink has completely dried up, I thought about it and looked at the cap and sleeve of the pen, and a paper roll was found in the sleeve.

Carefully cut out the paper roll, and open it to a one-inch-wide and three-inch-long strip of paper; Densely written numbers, in groups of four, and finally a signature with the word "shadow". Try to translate the text against the "Curved Bow Collection", and the words that come out can't be connected into sentences, and it should be that the numbers have also been encrypted. There is no doubt that the father has his own secret mission, and no evidence has been found to support the speculation, and the speculation is meaningless. It seems that these three things are the only clues to trace the identity of the father, so he took the briefcase that his father hung on the hanger, put away the three things, and handed them to Dawu for safekeeping.

Instructed a bodyguard to rummage through all the pockets of his clothes upstairs, and picked up the phone in the living room to call the factory, where the housekeeper was and told him that he was waiting for him at home.

The factory is not far away, and the butler will be back in a classic Ford car in ten minutes. When the old housekeeper in his 50s saw me, tears fell, and he bowed and said, "Young master, young master, you are here!" ”

looked at the butler, who was already full of gray hair and had followed his father for nearly 20 years, he helped him up and said, "Uncle housekeeper, don't cry, I'm here, everything will be fine!" ”

"Yes, yes! Young master, sit down, I'll boil water! ”

"You also sit, Dawu, you go boil water and make tea! Tell me about my father. ”

The butler sobbed again, and finally calmed down. The housekeeper is the father who just came to Tianjin to meet, earlier than Aunt Liu, not so much a housekeeper, but the director of the factory, my father mainly contacts the business, the factory management is basically done by the housekeeper, and the housekeeper lives in the factory. The factory is not doing well, it is just barely maintaining the level, and now there are only 3 workers left in the factory and him.

The factory itself does not have its own main products, and it is good to be able to maintain it by making some accessories for others.

He knew even less about his father's murder, and only after the police informed him that he had learned that his wife in Shanghai and his grandfather in Xi'an had not replied, so he had to buy a cemetery by himself, claim the body, and bury it; There was no follow-up from the police, and he went to the police station several times to hear about it, but no one told him. It seems that the police don't want to be in trouble anymore, or want to protect him.

According to him, his father rarely had a grudge against anyone, and occasionally went to the factory to raise donations and hooligans to extort money, and he really couldn't think of any enemies or anything like that. After all, in the concession, hooligans don't dare to go too far!

The housekeeper's wife died relatively early, and when the two sons got married, he was not comfortable in his hometown, so he came to Tianjin, and he couldn't find a living, and when he met his father, his pocket was already penniless. When he arrived in Tianjin, he basically didn't go back to his hometown to see, and his sons didn't come to see him, except for asking for money and letters, there were no letters.

I couldn't ask anything, so I said: "Uncle housekeeper, I've suffered you during this time, and thank you for burying my father!" Come with me to Xi'an, there is also a hardware factory, and there is a shortage of people to manage it. You have been with my father for more than ten years, you have worked hard, and I will give you a pension when you are old! You see how. ”

"Young master, your father is very kind to me, and he should do it! Don't you need people here in Tianjin? ”

"I've decided to sell here, my father is gone, and I don't want to keep a sad place. I won't look at the factory, you can complete the contract of the factory as soon as possible, and after three days, the other party will come to hand over. You are responsible for going through the formalities with the other party, and when the time comes, I will call Dawu to come over and cooperate with you. I don't have a lot of money now, and after selling the factory, you give the workers 100 oceans per person as severance pay. I'll take some money, you go back to your hometown to settle down, after all, it's far away to Xi'an, and it's not easy to go back to your hometown. ”

"Thank you, young master, I listened to the young master's arrangement. Alas, I won't go back to my hometown first, and I'll talk about it later! I feel that I can still work for a few years, and I can repay the kindness of my lord again! ”

"Okay, that's it for today, after the business is done in a few days, then you can take me to see my father. You can clean up the house hard, except for the father's photo and commemorative things, as long as the workers do not dislike it, give it to them! ”

I turned around the villa again, took the photos on the desk and bedroom wall and took them with me, and went back to the hotel. Although I have practiced with a stable mentality, I am still in pain!

There are many famous places in the concession in the past life, such as Jingyuan, Zhang Garden, Duan Qirui Mansion and so on. In order to maximize economic benefits, the Japanese viciously allowed drug use in the concession area, legalizing the drug industry, and the Japanese concession became the place where the tobacco houses and brothels in Tianjin were most concentrated.

The restaurant is located in the prosperous area of the Japanese Concession, Asahi Street, which is the most prosperous Heping Road commercial street later. When he came to the restaurant, the plainclothes Ikegami Faichi was already waiting at the door, thanked Cao Chang for his guidance, and arranged for Dawu and two bodyguards to accompany Cao Chang to eat separately. After thanking Ikegami for his politeness, he went to a large and bright private room. There were only two of us, and when we sat down, Ikegami clapped my hands and ordered the food to be served! Seeing the doubts, Chi Shang said that they still need some time, but they are just a housekeeper, so don't pay attention to them; The class concept of the Japanese is really strong enough.

According to the Japanese etiquette that I had practiced with Chiyo, I should have basically done it in place, and even Hosegami asked if he had been to Japan. I took the opportunity to brag about how I learned under Chiyo-chan's strictness, and how I worked hard, so as not to lose etiquette and embarrass Chiyo-chan when I went to Japan to meet their family! I heard Ikegami laugh and say, you can't be too polite to women! The atmosphere at the wine table was also warm, and Ikegami boasted about how hard he studied, how he excelled in the military school, how he performed well in the army, and his military rank was already the highest existence among his classmates! Boast about how you have a good woman's relationship and so on! I talked a lot about how to ski and dive in Germany, how I hurt Masao, and how I framed myself ....... Ikegami asked suspiciously, when do you have classes? It's really a pot that can't be opened! He immediately said that Masao's ambition is to be a diplomat, and it is a pity to go to the navy for talents; My ambition is to do business and make a fortune! Make a fortune! The other party is also a good amount of alcohol, four bottles of Japanese sake per person, and there is no difference between the two sides and the state of not drinking at all!

After drinking for an hour, I finally waited for the knock on the door. As soon as the door opened, a little Japanese little Japan popped in—Anna? Seeing how surprised I was, it made Ikegami laugh! No wonder it's called a Japanese devil! Playing the card of Anna, it is really interesting, and I want to continue the relationship, and I want not to lose! Anything!

When she saw my Anna, she shouted and pounced on me and said in German, "Brother Li, the chocolate is gone!" Mom's food isn't tasty! He threw himself into my arms and kissed me a few times on the cheek. It seems that there are sequelae in Germany, and the mother tongue is not learned well.

picked up Anna and complained: "You are so relieved that she will come to China!" Really! On the other hand, he had to appease Anna and said, "No hurry, no hurry!" Chocolate will have it! ”

"Dawu! Dawu! "I shouted Dawu and ordered me to go to the French Concession to buy chocolates, and I was not allowed to fool Anna with Japanese chocolates. Anna also shouted happily when she saw Dawu: "Brother Dawu, it should be as delicious as in Germany!" ”
