Chapter 506: Silver Makeup Knife
"Sir, it's so late, what else do you want to ask me?" Lao Ma was also surprised. It was a little bit. What did Lu Xiyan ask him for?
Has something big happened? When he thought of this, he directly made a coat and hurriedly followed Yan Lei.
"Old Ma, you are the oldest and knowledgeable at home. Please help me see if you recognize this pattern?" Lu Xiyan handed him the white drawing of the dagger handle pattern that Yan Lei had just given him.
"This pattern..." Lao Ma was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was a big deal. He actually called himself to see the picture, but what's the secret of this picture?
No matter what, Lu Xiyan called him to recognize the picture, which must have a deep meaning, otherwise there would be no need to do so.
"How is it, Lao Ma, have you recognized it?" Lu Xiyan asked with a look of hope. Lao Ma is not old, he is indeed experienced and knowledgeable. The organization sent him to him, one to protect himself, and the other to help him at any time.
"It seems a bit familiar..." Lao Ma hesitated for a moment, and saw Yan Lei standing aside, and stopped talking.
"It's okay, Lao Ma, you said that Yan Lei is his own."
Of course, Lu Xiyan saw that Lao Ma was worried. After all, there were outsiders present, so he couldn't say a lot of things.
"Then I said, I have indeed seen ornaments similar to this thing, but I don't know if it is, it is called a silver makeup knife. It is a kind of ornament, but it is also a self-defense weapon, usually used by women."
"Silver makeup knife, used by women, is that a specific woman?"
"Looking at the pattern on it, it seems to be a kind of azalea. I can't say what kind of it is," said Lao Ma.
"Silver makeup knife, azalea?" Lu Xiyan murmured to himself.
"Sir, why do you need to know the origin of this pattern?" Lao Ma asked nonsense.
"Oh, I'm just curious. You know more about flowers and plants than us, so I asked Yan Lei to come up." Lu Xiyan explained.
"That's right, sir, do you have anything else? If not, I'll go down and rest."
"Well, okay, go ahead. If you remember something about this pattern, turn around and say to me." Lu Xiyan ordered.
"Okay, don't worry, if I think of something, I will tell you."
...
"Yan Lei, I'll ask someone to inquire tomorrow. Masters with experience in antiques, calligraphy, painting and jewelry must figure out the origin of this thing."
"I understand, sir."
Chu Ze hangs Sun Yanan for ten days, which makes Sun Yanan so anxious, but he has no chance to go out in the flour mill, and he is also injured.
Finally, his injuries were healed, and Chu Ze came over again.
Since you need to distinguish, then don’t make a fool of yourself, so as not to be seen by the other party, and let the person dry first. This is also a routine procedure.
"Chu, Mr. Chu..."
When he officially met Chu Ze, Sun Yanan showed a look of surprise on his face. He wanted to hide this expression, but he still showed it unconsciously.
"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Chu Ze smiled, "Have we met once at the Six Kingdoms Hotel?"
"No, no, I didn't expect it was you..." Sun Yanan was indeed surprised, as if everything had come to understand.
"This is not the first time we meet?"
“Yes, yes…”
"Tell me, why do you pretend not to know me when you saw me at the Six Kingdoms Hotel?" Chu Ze sat down and asked casually.
"Mr. Chu, I was surrounded by someone at that time, so..." Sun Yanan said.
"You are lucky this time. Dai Yunong also sold the military advisor's face and didn't kill you." Chu Ze said.
"Military advisor..." Sun Yanan hurriedly said, "Yes, if it weren't for the military advisor, my life would have really been explained to the hands of the military advisor."
"Okay, I heard you are in a hurry to see me. Is there anything wrong?"
"Mr. Chu, I have a female companion. The one you have ever met is my fiancée. I have been brought back by you for so many days. She can't find me. I should be very anxious. I'm afraid something happens to her. Can you let me go out to find her?" Sun Yanan said anxiously.
"No need to find your female companion, ah, fiancée, in the hands of the Military Commission, should be locked up somewhere now." Chu Ze said directly.
"Mr. Chu, can you..."
"You want me to save her?"
"Yes, she used to be a soccer girl, a dancer. She didn't dislike me for being disabled, so she followed me. But she didn't know anything and was innocent. Can you rescue her?" Sun Yanan begged.
"Do you know why the Military Control Commission arrested her?" Chu Ze's face turned a little cold.
"I know, it's just to control me and let me do things for them." Sun Yanan said.
"What else?"
"Among you undercover, please pass on your movements at any time." Sun Yanan said with a embarrassed look on her face.
"I have been waiting for you to take the initiative to explain this matter, but when you see me, you only ask your fiancée. For a woman, can you betray the military advisor who once cultivated you and your oath?" Chu Ze asked sternly.
"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, I really don't think so. I, I want to tell you the whole thing, but I'm afraid..." Sun Yanan knelt down with a thud and eagerly defended herself.
"At up, men have gold under their knees. Can you learn to kneel down in the Military Control Commission?" Chu Ze said angrily.
Sun Yanan quickly stood up again.
"Can a woman turn you into this, can you make such a success?"
"Mr. Chu, I admit that I didn't attend at all, but I am the only one in the family. I finally had a woman who like me and could pass on my family line. I..."
"Confused, pedantic!"
"Yes, I'm confused, I'm pedantic, but Xiaoying is innocent, and he has no idea about my affairs." Sun Yanan begged, "Mr. Chu, you must save her."
"Save her, she is in the hands of the Military Control Commission. You don't know how powerful the Military Control Commission has in Hong Kong?" Chu Ze said angrily, "You can think of it when you save people from the Military Control Commission."
"Mr. Chu, I know I'm sorry for you and the military advisor, but I can't watch Xiaoying suffer, as the military commanders are inhumane."
"You have participated in the Hanoi Slayer operation, right?"
"yes."
"Write the process of participating in the Hanoi slaughter, the more detailed the better." Chu Ze ordered.
"Mr. Chu, they just arranged for me to let go of the outside world. I really don't know the specific process of the action, and I dare not inquire about it..."
"Sun Yanan, you know, everyone who comes back from an undercover must be identified. You know the rules." Chu Ze said, "So, don't I have to say more to you, right?"
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Chu, I'll write it." Sun Yanan agreed repeatedly.
"From the future, call me Mr. Yi in front of outsiders, and my name is Yi Xing'an now."
"Yes, Mr. Yi."
"Give him pen and paper." Chu Ze ordered the guard to order the guard.
"yes!"
"Mr. Yi, the cobbler is here." Chu Ze's entourage walked in and whispered quietly in his ear.
"I understand, please ask him to go to the office for a while, and I will be there soon." Chu Ze ordered.
...
Another day later, Lu Xiyan finally received a handwritten letter from his supervisor Daniel from France. In addition to telling him about his doctoral thesis, a large part of it was about the European war situation. The professor also expressed his concerns about his safety in Shanghai in the letter.
After all, China and Japan are in a state of war. Although the French Concession is relatively safe, it is not absolutely safe. Relatively speaking, France is safer.
Professor Daniel hopes that he can go to France and serve as an assistant to his laboratory.
The European war is about to break out. Daniel is a scholar after all. Although he has a good relationship with those politicians, he does not know some top secret news.
Although the relationship between the French authorities and the German government is ambiguous, the hatred that Germany and France have formed in World War I, if Germany expands heavily, then France will definitely be in a World War I?
France is still basically in an optimistic attitude, which can be seen from the content of Professor Daniel's letter. People like Saul have a closer relationship with senior management and have more profound secrets, so their attitude is even more pessimistic.
In France, Lu Xiyan will definitely not go back. He can't leave the people and things here now, and runs to Paris alone.
Also, going to France is not necessarily safer than staying in Shanghai.
But he was still very worried about the teacher's safety, but he had not yet decided how to reply, because Professor Daniel tended to return to France to defend his doctoral thesis.
But he can't go back at all now. If he goes to France, even if he takes the fastest flight, plus the time for the thesis defense, it will be at least one month.
He can't leave for a moment now, let alone for so long a month.
How to explain your thoughts to the teacher, and also remind the teacher to be careful and not be too optimistic about the authorities' propaganda. This requires careful consideration before replying.
However, Professor Daniel still admires his doctoral thesis very much. He has many opinions, which are very novel and wants to communicate with him in person. This is one of the reasons why the professor wants him to go to France.
When I wrote a reply, recalling every bit of studying and living under Professor Daniel, Lu Xiyan really didn't know how to start this.
The professor can be said to have taught him all his money to China from the East without reservation. He has expressed his meaning to leave him more than once, but he is afraid that he will let him down.
"What's wrong? Your teacher doesn't approve of your paper?"
"No, the teacher asked me to go back to France to serve as his assistant. I don't know how to reply to him." Lu Xiyan put down his pen and sighed.
"You're not going back?"
"What do I do when I go back to France? My wife, my home, and my motherland are all here. When I went abroad to study medicine, I was able to learn to come back to serve my country and save more patients." Lu Xiyan said, "It's just that the teacher is old and there is no one to take care of me, so I'm a little worried."
“Does Professor Daniel have no children?”
"Yes, but their relationship is not very good, and foreigners do not have the concept of raising children to prevent old age. They all live their own life after they become adults," Lu Xiyan explained.
"So that's the case, so you're in a dilemma. You don't know how to write a letter to reject his kindness, right?"
"yes."
