Sophie scared everyone in the living room to their feet.
"Miss, don't scare me?" Love's voice changed a bit.
"Really! I just packed my luggage, went to the study to get the scroll, opened the safe, and the scroll was gone!"
"I went to look for other people, and when I got to Zhan Shilin's room, he was gone too!" Sophie's voice was filled with tears.
"Okay! Don't worry, let's go take a look together. Maybe we'll find it if we keep searching..." Master Senpo (Ma Xiaoguang) comforted Sophie.
Everyone came to the study room first. The study room was very tidy, and except for the safe, nothing else had been touched.
The safe door was open, but it was empty.
"I didn't put anything else, just the scroll." Sophie said.
"Obviously, there's nothing left to see." Master Senpo said.
"Do you still need Zhan Shilin's room?" Andre asked.
"No, there's nothing to see. This Zhan Shilin seems to have planned it in advance, or this person is not Zhan Shilin at all."
Master Senpo sat down, lit up a Hardwood stick, took a deep breath and said.
"But this man is exactly the same as Zhan Shilin in the photo my grandpa gave me." Sophie said doubtfully.
"There are several possibilities. One is that Zhan Shilin betrayed him for some reason, the other is that the people are similar, and the third is that someone put on makeup..." Master Senpo said several possibilities in one breath.
"Definitely not the first one!" Sophie said firmly.
"There are other possibilities. Don't be anxious. It's useless to be anxious." Master Senpo didn't seem surprised at all.
"Jack! You have to help me find this man and the scroll." Sophie said with earnest eyes and tears in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, let's wait." Master Senpo said calmly.
"What are you waiting for?"
Everyone was a little puzzled and asked in unison.
"Wait for Fatty. Judging from the time, it should be a while. Let's go downstairs. If we don't find anyone later, this guy will be surprised again."
Master Senpo said, stood up and walked downstairs.
Everyone followed Master Senpo downstairs. As soon as they reached the living room, they heard the sound of a car engine outside.
Soon I saw the familiar figure of Fatty.
"I mean, you guys, are you still here grinding away? Run away quickly, you won't be able to run away after a while!" the fat man urged.
"What's going on?" Love was a little confused.
The rest of the people, except Master Senpo, all looked confused.
"Has everyone's luggage been packed?" Master Senpo asked aloud.
"alright."
"We don't have time. Now, hurry up and load your things into the car! Let's wait until we get in the car." Master Senpo ordered.
Everyone was busy loading their luggage into the pickup truck driven by the fat man with suspicion.
Although this car is smaller than a large truck, it is larger than a car. It can accommodate seven or eight people without any problem.
Pulling up the tarp, the fat man stepped on the accelerator and the car jumped out of the courtyard gate of the small foreign-style building.
As soon as I turned a corner, I saw several cars driving past the opposite side, heading towards the small western-style building like lightning.
"What do these people do?" Sophie asked in confusion.
"Cultists, neon ronin, neon agents... there are all of them, but they are all not good products anyway!" Fatty spat as he drove the car.
"how so?"
"My eldest lady, haven't you figured it out? This Zhan Shilin is an undercover agent! He's come here to try on our scroll. They may not only want the fourth scroll!" Master Senpo also spat.
"Then what should we do now?" Sophie opened her beautiful eyes and asked as if she was struck by lightning.
"It will be clear if you ask Zhan Shilin later." Master Senpo said with a smile.
"Isn't he missing?"
"Well, isn't that just..."
Master Senpo pursed his lips, pointed at a sack next to a pile of luggage, and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Bu Wei hurriedly opened the sack.
Sure enough, Zhan Shilin was lying unconscious inside, still holding the box containing the scroll tightly in his hand.
"Oh my god...Jack!"
Sophie was a little incoherent when she saw this. In less than twelve hours, she had experienced such great joys and sorrows, and then reached the great joy again. It was really exciting!
No wonder the romantic little beauty is a little speechless.
The three humble guests looked at the two agents with admiration on their faces.
"Don't be too busy being grateful, then who... Andre, take the co-pilot, you are more like the boss of Romantic Country... so that the patrol will not ask too many questions and cause more trouble." Master Senpo ordered.
Under the careful arrangements of the two agents, the pickup truck successfully left the French Concession, crossed the Haihe River, and arrived at the former Russian Concession, now the third district of Jinment, the national capital.
Fatty seemed to be more familiar with this place than the French Concession. He quickly arrived at the courtyard of a Russian-style villa.
The old servant quickly closed the courtyard door, everyone packed up everything, carried the sacks in, and the master came out.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Natasha!
"Don't be surprised. It was the house I asked Natasha to find. Wake this guy up and ask him about his situation. Come and tell me." Master Senpo ordered.
Zhan Shilin was quickly woken up, but he found that he had been tied up and unable to move.
"Tell me, who are you? Where is the real Zhan Shilin?"
Bu Wei asked fiercely, fiddling with the gleaming knife in his hand as he spoke.
The other party looked at everyone with contempt, lowered his head and remained silent.
"Let me tell you, Old Bu, your romantic country doesn't have any means at all, right?" The fat man said with a joking smile at Bu Wei.
"Don't waste your time with this guy!" Love snapped.
"Andlu, help me, I'll light the sky lantern for him!" Bu Wei gritted his molar teeth and said with a fierce look.
Andre tied "Zhan Shilin" to the pillar and found a hemp rope, which was soaked in kerosene.
Bu Wei wrapped the rope around "Zhan Shilin" in a circle, and extended a long section above his head to make a wick shape. Then he found a lighter and lit the rope above "Zhan Shilin".
The flames above "Zhan Shilin" flickered, and the rope became shorter little by little...
The pungent smell of kerosene filled the air.
"Ma Dan, these foreigners are so cruel!" Master Senpo complained.
"Too cruel!" The fat man naturally agreed with the young master's opinion.
After a while, the rope became shorter, and the smell of burnt hair filled the air again.
"No! Don't burn it, I say, I say everything!" "Zhan Shilin" shouted in a high voice.
Soon, the flames went out, but the rope was still on "Zhan Shilin".
"My name is Zhan Bolin, and I am Zhan Shilin's twin brother. We separated when we were very young, so few people know about this..." Zhan Bolin confessed dejectedly.
"Oh! I wonder why it's exactly the same as in the photo." Sophie sighed after hearing this.
"About a month ago, someone came to me and gave me a photo... That's when I knew I had a very rich brother," Zhan Berlin said.
"They said they could let me live the same life as my brother. I didn't have to do anything but dress up as Zhan Shilin. But I didn't know French, so I could only pretend to be dizzy..." Zhan Bolin continued.
After listening to Zhan Bolin's confession for a while, Master Senpo lost interest and carried the Hard Gate to the outside yard. The fat man also followed suit and walked out, leaving the three cheap guests and Sophie to continue questioning.
"I'm afraid that smoking will ignite the kerosene and cause a fire. Why are you out here? Don't you want to listen to a forced confession in the Romantic style?" Master Senpo lit the cigarette and smiled at the fat man.
"MoDan, those three mallets, and a silly girl... this guy talks so much about cheating, do they believe it?" the fat man said with a sly smile.
"How to say?"
"You've only been here for a month? You know how to break into a safe? Why can't you live better than Zhan Shilin with this skill?" the fat man spat.
"Oh, what the hell, let him make it up...otherwise we have to find a way to wipe our butts." Master Senpo said quietly.
"What's next?" Fatty asked.
"Next? Well, didn't you follow that Zhan Bolin to that house? We still have to be good people and see if we can rescue Zhan Shilin's family." Master Senpo said with a sigh.
"With just our few guns? I'm afraid it won't work!" Fatty said anxiously.
"Of course not. There is the Romantic State Patrol Room, Jinmen Police Station... As long as we are dealing with cults, we should be well-known." Master Senpo said leisurely.
"Then we won't be able to take action... Oh, no, there is still a labor fee of 10,000 pounds."
The fat man reacted and smiled evilly, and what he received in response was Master Senpo's approving eyes.
That night, outside the nouveau riche house in the south of the city where Master Senpo and Fatty once visited, there was a large crowd of people getting ready to go.
Sophie reported to the police station in the name of Qichang Foreign Company, and the police station contacted the local police station. Since a foreign bank comprador was involved, and Zhan Shilin was also a well-known figure in Jinmen, the police station naturally did not dare to neglect it.
Hou Qingquan, director of the Southern District Bureau, ordered his troops to go into battle in person. The patrol room also sent French detective Yan Ke (French name Jacob) to help out with a dozen patrol officers.
Naturally, Master Senpo, Fatty, the three cheap guests and Sophie were all present. It is everyone's responsibility to oppose the cult!
"Report to the director, the other party has been surrounded by us!" A policeman in charge of communications ran over from the observation post in front and reported to Director Hou.
"Inspector Yan, what are your instructions?" Director Hou glanced at Inspector Yan Ke with some doubts and asked.
"Everyone divides up to outflank and secure each intersection. Director Hou, lead the charge first, and we will cover you." Inspector Yan Ke commanded without any doubt.
Although he was dissatisfied with the bossy tactics of Detective Romance, Director Hou still accepted the move for the sake of all aspects and Dayang's sake.
"Pass my order, load the guns, spread out in battle formation, all units block the intersection, and the patrol team rushes forward." He turned around and ordered the patrol captain.
After receiving the order, the patrolmen pulled the bolts and loaded their rifles, and rushed into the house in battle formation.
