God's left hand?
In fact, there was no need for the Fifth Senior Brother to translate. When he first said that sentence in English, Shu Guan already understood the meaning of it.
And when he and Sang Liren walked into Fuhua Company's office in Jingcheng, the words "God's Left Hand" were still swirling in their heads.
It's really a... well, religious name.
Shu Guan now knows that the white people in the Western Continent of this world basically believe in a religion that is very similar to a religion in his previous life.

However, what is different from his previous life is that, according to what Li Zhixia told him, the so-called gods believed by ordinary people in the Western Continent are actually just a few practitioners who have inherited their Dahua Immortal Law.
Of course, those practitioners are very powerful, maybe even more powerful than the seven immortals in their Seven Immortals Alliance. The most important thing is that those few people are still alive.
If you have the chance, you can look for a few books on the religions of the Western Continent. You may be able to gain a partial understanding of those powerful practitioners.
Fuhua Company's office in Jingcheng is not far from Fuhua Warehouse. It is only separated by two roads. It is located in the Xuri State Concession. It is a two-story small bungalow occupying the land of two rooms. It doesn't look very big. It is a building full of Falan style. The door is painted with white powder and the words "Fuhua Ocean Trading Company Office in Jingcheng" are written in black paint.
"There are not many employees in this office. There are only eight people. Except for the general manager named Zhou Zhen, the others are all Jingcheng locals."
While walking towards the small bungalow, Sang Liren introduced Shu Guan like this.
He had been here a few days ago, especially after discovering the whereabouts of practitioners at Fuhua Warehouse. Sang Liren even did some things to every employee of Fuhua Company's Jingcheng office. investigation.
"Those are ordinary people, and according to my original investigation, those employees should be completely unaware of what their company is really doing."
Shu Guan was not surprised by this. How could a secret matter like human trafficking be made known to everyone? Especially if it was known to a few ordinary employees, there would be a risk of leaking the secret at any time.
Therefore, the staff working here are most likely to deceive others.
"Of course, this does not include general manager Zhou Zhen."
"I checked on him. He came to Jingcheng three years ago with the real boss of Fuhua Company. That boss left Jingcheng soon. Zhou Zhenzai has been responsible for the subsequent matters, including renting land. Build a warehouse.”
"Haha, we all now know that there is a cave underground under the warehouse. It was naturally built together when the warehouse was built, so how could Zhou Zhen not know about it?"
"And I also investigated. Well, I made an appointment with a typist from their office to have dinner. The typist told me that all the goods shipped by Fuhua Company to Shanghai were contacted by Zhou Zhen personally. Yes, he never let others get involved in this matter, naturally because in addition to ordinary goods, they also have some goods that cannot be known to others."
"Is the typist lady pretty?"
Shuguan asked with a smile.
"It's okay...oh, how did you know it was a lady?"
Sang Liren glanced at Shu Guan awkwardly.
...I don't think you would have dinner alone with a man... Besides, no one other than women would be tricked by you so easily...
"I just guessed."
Shu Guan chuckled and replied.
At this time, the two of them had reached the door of the small foreign-style building. The sky was already slightly white, but there were still no pedestrians on the road.
Because of the dreamy fragrance last night, all the ordinary people here are still sleeping.
It is impossible for employees of this company to come to work so early.
"That Zhou Zhen is also an ordinary person, but since he knows so many secrets, the senior brother thought that there might be some practitioners who had some tricks on him. At that time, in order to avoid alerting the snake, there was no opponent against him."
"Zhou Zhen usually lives on the second floor of this building. The first floor is his office and the second floor is his residence. In addition to himself, there is also an old servant woman who usually cooks and cleans for him."
The door under the small foreign-style building was locked tightly. Of course, this meant nothing to them.
As Sang Liren said this, he walked directly through the door.
It seems that the Sangli people investigated this place very carefully a few days ago.
Shu Guan also followed Sang Liren and stepped behind the door. His spiritual power has recovered a lot now, and at least there is no problem in using the wall penetration technique.
Just as they stepped into the foreign-style building, a faint smell of blood came from the tip of their noses. Sang Li seemed to smell the smell of blood, and the two looked at each other.
"not good!"
The Sangli man let out a low cry and immediately ran towards the second floor where the smell of blood was coming from.
Soon the two found the source of the bloody smell. It was a small servant's room. An old woman was lying on a wooden bed. Her throat had been cut. Blood flowed all over the bed and dripped from the edge of the bed. Tick-tick falling to the ground.
"It's the old servant who takes care of Zhou Zhen's daily life."
Looking at the old woman lying in a pool of blood, Sang Liren said seriously.
Soon after, Sang Li and Shu Guan searched the entire small foreign-style building and found that except for the old servant woman whose throat was cut, there was no one in the building.
The room that should belong to the master's bedroom was very messy. The bedding was opened and some clothes were thrown on the ground. Just like those rooms under the warehouse, it could be seen that the people here were busy leaving.
In another study-like room, it was also a mess. There was also a brazier on the ground with a lot of ash left in it. At this time, there were still wisps of black smoke and ash flying in the air. It seemed that there were a lot of papers just now. It was burned shortly after.
"He ran away and we were still a step too late."
The Sangli man sighed regretfully.
"Yes, but they can react so quickly. I guess they have hidden some strength in Jingcheng. They are independent of Fuhua Warehouse and have strength outside Fuhua Company. They are specialized in handling situations like today. So, senior brother, even if you monitor them these days, I looked at them without noticing any clues."
Shuguan thought for a moment and said.
This is an arrangement often made by latent intelligence organizations in spy films from previous lives.
Sang Liren glanced at Shu Guan in surprise, then nodded, quite agreeing with Shu Guan's inference.
"But that Zhou Zhen, why did he kill the maid who had been taking care of him before leaving?"
"Maybe this servant girl saw something she shouldn't have seen, or heard something she shouldn't have heard..."
A servant who takes good care of himself can indeed easily discover some of his master's secrets.
Of course, this is just Shuguan's guess.
However, that Zhou Zhen is really cruel and ruthless.
Shu Guan walked to the brazier. Among the ashes in the brazier, there were still bits and pieces of dark red fire. The people here would never leave for too long, and before leaving, he should have burned some documents that were difficult to carry.
Files that may not be that important, but must not be seen.
Shu Guan's eyes suddenly flashed, and he found that there seemed to be a piece of paper under the brazier that had not been burned, so he immediately bent down and picked up a stick beside the brazier and picked out the piece of paper from the brazier.
That's an envelope.
Most of it has been burned away, but there are still a few words of the recipient's address in the upper left corner.
"Shencheng Xiafei Road 7..."
As for what is behind the "7", it has been burned.
As for the recipient's name, there was only the word "古", and the words behind it were also burnt black and could not be seen clearly.
Shu Guan held the half-burned envelope and frowned. From these few words, he really couldn't deduce much useful information, but Shu Guan still collected the half of the envelope first.
At this moment, a huge whistle sounded outside the window.
Shu Guan walked to the window. The sky outside the window was already bright. On the dock in the distance, on the river under the morning sun, there was a warship slowly docking. On the bridge of the warship, there was a white flag floating in the center. A plaster-like flag with a red circle printed on it.
That's the flag of the Land of the Rising Sun.
So this is a warship of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
So Shu Guan frowned again.
Jingcheng is an important town in the heart of the Republic of China. Whether it is military, political, or economical, it is the most important city in the central region of the Republic of China. However, in such an important town, warships from other countries can operate openly. Drive in.
Then music sounded on the pier, and the national anthem of the Land of the Rising Sun was played.
Shu Guan could see from a distance that a group of people had disembarked from the warship. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black suit with a slight beard above his lips.
There was a group of people already waiting on the pier, and they quickly came forward to greet them.
…Today is Tuesday…
Shu Guan remembered a piece of news he had seen in Jingcheng Daily a few days ago.
It seems that the new consul of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun in Jingcheng will arrive in Jingcheng today.
It should be the middle-aged man who is stepping off the warship at this time, with an arrogant expression on his face!
Shu Guan stood at the window, looking at the dock in the distance, thinking so.
A white dove flew past his eyes.
…
The white pigeon continued to fly forward, flying close to the rows of houses on the roadside. After flying more than a hundred meters, it seemed a little tired and stopped in front of a window on the third floor of a house.
But as soon as it stopped, the window was pushed open from the inside, which frightened the white pigeon and had to flap its wings and fly away again.
What pushed open the window was a pair of slender and beautiful women's hands.
It's just that this woman's whole body is covered in a loose black hooded blouse, with a blood-red evil ghost mask on her face. Her face can't be seen, and she can only see a graceful back, and the figure exposed under the black robe. A pair of emerald green embroidered shoes came.
The woman in black robe stood at the window, seeming to be looking at the crowd on the pier over there who were welcoming the new consul of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
In the house behind her, there was also a man in black lying on the ground, with a similarly blood-red evil ghost mask and a pair of silver spurs thrown beside him.
The man in black was lying on the ground, his whole body trembling slightly, and his mood seemed to be extremely fearful at this time.
