Chapter 216 Solvents
Chapter 216 Solvents
Xu Qingfeng followed He Yi into the office and saw a room full of people sitting in the office.
Somehow, his first reaction was to turn around and run away.
Thinking so, he actually did it.
He Yi quickly grabbed the man from behind and said, "Why are you running? Are you feeling guilty? Did you kill someone or set a fire?"
After being pulled by He Yi, he seemed to have reacted.
Yes, I didn’t kill anyone or set any fire, why am I running away?
He Yi pulled him in and made him sit on the stool. He also found an empty seat and sat down. He turned to look at him and said:
"Tell me what happened in the past few days."
Xu Qingfeng looked around at everyone in the office and unexpectedly saw his father in the corner.
He pouted at his father, then turned his body to the other side.
His son ignored him and Xu Tianyang was very anxious. He sat on the bench with a fidgety look, as if nails were hammered into his body.
Xu Qingfeng chattered on and on, describing what had happened in the past few days.
Including what he saw when he was conscious in the hospital, and why he conspired with Zuo Zixuan to act.
The Kyoto leader who came with Uncle He asked excitedly:
"Why didn't you call your superiors earlier to inform them that Sha Wenkun was a spy?"
Xu Qingfeng pouted and said, "How to fight? Shout from a distance?
They sealed my master and I in a coffin, and we only escaped death at the seaside in the late night.
It took them three more days to get out of the forest.
Even if we called and reported it right after arriving in Hualian Town, they would have already run away."
The Kyoto leader remained silent. Sha Wenkun did ask for personal leave the day after He Yi called him.
He said something urgent happened in his hometown in the countryside and he had to rush back to deal with it.
Now hearing Xu Qingfeng say that he was a spy from the island country and that he hasn't returned to the hospital yet, there is no doubt that he must have escaped.
“However, I know the true face of the person who disguised herself as Aunt Zhu.
There is another man, I don’t know his name, but I also know what he really looks like.”
It took Xu Qingfeng ten minutes to recount the conversation he heard while hiding in the bushes.
"Qingfeng, was the woman finally dragged onto a small boat and taken to the sea?"
Uncle He was holding a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes narrowed into slits by the smoke, and he blinked as he looked at Xu Qingfeng and asked.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Do you remember what the woman was wearing?"
"I remember that he wore a blue jacket on the outside, a white shirt on the inside, black trousers, white socks, and a pair of black leather shoes."
Uncle He and Father He looked at each other fiercely.
"The day before yesterday, the Huangxi Island Red Flag Brigade went out fishing and fished up a female corpse.
The female corpse had no face, as if her skin had been peeled off while she was still alive.
His whole body was in tatters, without a single piece of intact flesh. Preliminary judgment showed that he had been whipped before his death.
But one can still vaguely make out the color and style of the clothes she was originally wearing from the pieces of clothing she was wearing.
It’s just what you said.”
Xu Qingfeng suddenly burst into laughter.
People in the office thought he had been stimulated by something.
Xu Tianyang was so shocked that he quickly ran to his side, held his shoulders, and asked nervously:
"Son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare daddy..."
Xu Qingfeng still covered his mouth and laughed.
Everyone was extremely nervous. He Yi raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes at him and said:
"Only one spy died, not all of them. Is it necessary to laugh so happily?"
Xu Qingfeng nodded, "Why not be happy? One less person dies.
The woman should belong to the Nomoto family. From the content of their conversation, I could roughly piece together that her name was Nomoto Toshiko.
You can follow this clue and check her fiancé. Her fiancé is a key person.
I have seen what her fiancé looks like, but I don't know his name.
Their leader was a colonel named Madou.
From beginning to end, this person never showed up, and I don’t know what he looks like.
I have some impression of the other little Luo Luos.
However, even if their appearance is known, it is not certain that we can find them in China.
Because, they should have a mask-making master who is about the same level as my master.
If we want to break their mask, my master must find a way to develop a solvent that can melt the mask.
I've seen my master play with this thing before.
Just spray it lightly on the person's face and the mask will melt away like flour.
That stuff is only effective on masks made of mixed materials and is harmless to real skin.
And, I can guarantee it.
At present, my master is the only one in the world who can do this. No one else has the ability to do it.
Even the mask maker from their island country couldn't produce such a solvent.
However, my master is temporarily blind, so we have to wait until she recovers."
The leader of Kyoto asked excitedly: "Qingfeng, you are Xiao Zuo's apprentice, can you research this solvent?"
Xu Qingfeng pursed his lips and looked at the leader of Kyoto.
"Leader, you think too highly of me. If I could develop that solvent, would I still be your apprentice?"
"But, but if we wait for Xiao Zuo to get better, how long will it take?" the Kyoto leader said anxiously.
Xu Qingfeng shrugged and leaned back in his chair, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
Uncle He put the cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him and said to the leader of Kyoto with a smile:
"oops……
Chief Meng, isn't this the chance for everyone to make contributions?"
Section Chief Meng looked at Uncle He with a confused expression.
"Look, some time ago, didn't everyone say that my nephew's wife was paid an expert's salary but was slow and incompetent in her work?
They are also planning to send other experts to Huhu Town to replace her.
My nephew's wife is sick now, so this cannot be done.
Isn't this the chance for those experts to make contributions?
Let them do the research on this solvent. If they do it well, it will definitely be a great achievement."
Section Chief Meng smiled somewhat awkwardly.
That day, he joined the team that impeached the He family.
Seeing that the virus had been under control at that time, he wanted to push his brother-in-law, who was a researcher at the Academy of Military Science, to replace Zuo Zixuan.
But there was no way he would let his brother-in-law take over the work of researching solvents.
They don't even know what the human skin mask looks like, how can they study it? How can this be considered a meritorious service? It's something that will get them scolded to death.
"I will report this to the chief when I get back."
"Tsk..., it's better to do this sooner rather than later.
I will call the chief to explain the situation."
Uncle He grabbed the phone from the table and started turning the dial keys with his fingers.
Section Chief Meng raised his hand with a fidgety expression on his face, ready to stop Uncle He. But before he could say anything, the call was transferred.
"Hello, Commander, I am..."
Section Chief Meng sat beside him with a look of despair, listening to Uncle He giving his work report to the leader.
This completely disrupted his plans, as that was clearly not what he was going to report when he returned.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to impeach the He family for abusing public resources.
After this phone call, how is he going to make up a story when he gets back?
"The specific situation is this..."
In half an hour, Uncle He finished his work report.
“Okay, then let those experts who didn’t go to Chenghuhu Town do the work this time, so that Xiao Zuo can have a good rest.
As for Xiao Zuo, if you need any treatment, just ask, the government will provide it unconditionally.”
Uncle He hung up the phone. Section Chief Meng didn't need to put on any makeup, his face was so green that it could have been in a horror movie.
"Chief Meng, if your brother-in-law has made a great contribution this time, please don't forget my contribution.
A bottle of good wine is a must for a meal."
Section Chief Meng smiled uglier than crying and said:
"sure……"
After sitting for about ten minutes, Section Chief Meng felt that he could not pretend any longer, so he used the excuse of being busy with official business and asked the driver to take him to the train station to return to Kyoto.
Xu Qingfeng said that he was worried and didn't sleep well last night, so he went back to his previous room to catch up on his sleep.
As soon as he walked out the door, Xu Tianyang followed him out.
"Son, son, are you still angry?"
Xu Qingfeng snorted, turned his head to the other side, and said unhappily:
"Traitor, I will ignore you..."
"Oh, son...
Dad was forced to do this.
Aren't you also responsible for this?
You called me, but you didn't tell me that you eloped with Xiao Zuo. Then Commander He suddenly came to me and forced me to tell him your address.
They even threaten me with the central government. What can I do?
Okay, okay, I’m not angry anymore.
Next time you elope with Xiao Zuo, Dad will definitely cover for you, okay?"
Before Xu Qingfeng could say anything, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Do you still want a next time?
If you do it again, I’ll break your legs…”
Xu Qingfeng and his son: ...
Xu Qingfeng was extremely upset. It was clearly Zuo Zixuan who took him away, so why was he the only one who got hurt in the end?
Next time, no matter what Zuo Zixuan says, I will not run away with her. This is too humiliating.
The work in Huhu Town has entered the final stage, and there is not much to do. He Yi did not stay in the office, but went directly to the kitchen to cook porridge and carried it back to the room.
Zuo Zixuan was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even wake up when He Yi unlocked the door and entered the room.
He looked at the time. It was already past lunch time. If he didn't wake the person up, he would fall asleep.
"Wife, get up and eat..."
After calling out several times with no response, he had no choice but to sit down beside the bed and pick the person up in his arms.
"Wife, wake up. If you keep sleeping, you'll get too sleepy."
Zuo Zixuan nestled in He Yi's arms, humming and whining, but she wouldn't open her eyes.
He Yi had originally intended to get angry and decided not to give her a good face and continue to indulge her like that.
But when I saw her soft appearance, I couldn't muster up any strength.
He despised himself countless times for being useless and spineless.
But what can be done?
Who made me love her so much that I have fallen into love with her to my bones?
Without her, I don't even have the desire to live.
He stirred the bowl with a spoon and scooped a small spoonful of porridge into Zuo Zixuan's mouth.
"Be good, open your mouth..."
