"Checked?"

"The phone call came from a public telephone booth on Xujiahui Road. Brother An Zi, why did you ask me to check this phone?"

"The assassination of Su Xiwen is hiding in a building near this telephone booth." Lu Xiyan whispered.

"That Ichiro Asano..."

"Shh, whisper, maybe they have already transferred at this moment, but they are not ordinary people. I asked you to check this phone number just to confirm my inference."

"So, Brother Anzi, you knew about them..." Meng Hao said in surprise.

"Although I was blindfolded, for me, every street and every alley in the French Concession is imprinted in my mind. As long as I want to know, I can know."

"Brother An Zi, you are so awesome. Otherwise, stop being a doctor. Come to our police station to be a policeman." Meng Hao admired him very much.

"I'm not interested, but if you lack a forensic doctor in your police station, I can consider working part-time." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Forensic, isn't that coroner?"

"Don't underestimate this coroner. This is a great science. Sometimes dead people can speak. My teacher in France, Professor Daniel, is not only a skilled medical practitioner, but also a senior forensic doctor. Many cases that cannot find any clues can be provided. Only forensic doctors can provide first-hand information, which becomes the key to solving cases."

"After you said this, I really underestimated this coroner, no, this forensic doctor?"

"Let's have a meal. I just said this casually. Uncle and Meimei have called each other twice..."

...

"I'll go to Grandma Cai today. She said that the sixth day of the lunar calendar is a good day. Meimei, Xiao An, you are a big boss, so let's settle the wedding in advance."

"No, uncle, didn't we agree? Isn't it in a hurry?"

"You don't have to worry, I'm anxious. Meimei is still working in your clinic, neighbors, gossip, and the spitting stars can drown people."

"Dad, can you give us some time? Besides, it's a serious job for me to go to Anzi Ge's clinic."

"You two have been together since childhood and know each other. I can trust Xiao An's character. Meimei, you are a little willful. Once you get married, I feel relieved if someone takes care of you..."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of Meimei."

"I'm still called uncle?"

"dad."

"Oh!" The old man agreed so happily.

...

"The old man is happy. He has drunk too much. He just shouted that he would hold his grandson early. This, Meimei, I am also a stopgap solution. If you don't follow your father tonight, he will get angry..."

"Brother An Zi, I'm sorry." Meng Fanxing raised his head slightly and stared at him.

"Meimei, I know, you are in a dilemma. Brother Anzi has no unreasonable thoughts. At present, you can delay as long as you can, and this is the future..."

"I know, if we can survive this war, I will put on my wedding dress and be your bride to Brother Anzi." Meng Fanxing said with a lip with a slight bite.

“Meimei…”

This came so suddenly that I felt like I was knocked out by happiness.

...

"As soon as the sun is burning. Look at your saliva, you are dreaming about spring?"

"What are you doing? It's the New Year, so don't let someone have a good sleep. I won't be on duty today." Meng Hao hummed and pulled the quilt back.

"Dad, why did you come in?"

"What, the old man is here..." Meng Hao sat up and saw that he hadn't seen the old man at the door. He breathed down, "Brother An Zi, wouldn't he be so good to not bring such a playful person?"

"Get up, put on your clothes quickly and accompany me to do something."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Don't ask so much, hurry up." Lu Xiyan urged.

First Shi Department Store.

"Miss, how do you sell this radio?"

"Hello sir, we have all kinds of radios here. What price do you need?" The sweet sales lady came up.

"On average, it's useful to relieve boredom."

"Sir, I recommend you to buy this one. It is the latest model this year. We just arrived. New Year's promotions. In addition to discounts, you can also get discounts."

"Is that true? Then buy two!"

"Brother Anzi, why are you buying two?" Meng Hao was confused.

"I have one there, uncle has one there!"

Dahua Bookstore.

When they entered, they had empty hands, and when they came out, everyone was carrying a stack of books in their hands.

"Brother Anzi, why are you buying so many books?"

"Didn't your sister drop out of school? I'll buy books to make up for her. And you have to learn with yours."

"So much, when will my sister and I finish learning?"

"Life until you are old, learn until you are old, don't worry, learn slowly..."

"Have you found out what the people around the clinic came from?" Lu Xiyan didn't want to live under the eyes and noses of others every day.

"Wu Sibao, a gangster leader, robbed, sold opium, forced good people to become prostitutes, and did everything bad."

"This guy defected to the Japanese?"

"It should be that his wife is the goddaughter of Ji Yunqing, the boss of the Qing Gang. Ji Yunqing has an ambiguous relationship with the Japanese. This is not a secret in the French Concession."

...

"Brother Anzi, Xiaohao, where have you two been going this morning? How do you buy more things..."

"I didn't buy anything, I just bought some items for my family." Lu Xiyan smiled, "I bought a radio for my dad. My dad was alone at home, so I was quite bored. I listen to the radio if I have nothing to do. There is the opera singer on the radio. Don't my dad like to listen to Mr. Yu Shuyan's opera? It's available on this radio, and I can also listen to news and so on. In addition, I also bought one..."

"Xiao An, you still know what I think. That brat Meng Hao doesn't know how to care about me at all."

"Dad, why don't I care about you anymore? Aren't you serving you with food, drink, defecation and urination?" Meng Hao said aggrievedly.

"Meimei, I bought this for you. How can a girl go out without a bag?" Lu Xiyan handed over a goose yellow cowhide bag, which is a popular style this year. "I don't know what style you like. I think this one is quite suitable for that dress, so I bought it."

Although Meng Fanxing is not the kind of vain girl, she was still a little moved in her heart when someone bought her a bag for the first time.

"I have a bag at home, why are you spending that money in vain?"

"Sister, Brother Anzi has bought you a lot of books, saying that he wants to give you some lessons!" Meng Hao said without hesitation.

"Go, no matter which pot you don't open, you can pick it up!" Lu Xiyan glared at Meng Hao fiercely.

"Studying makes people progress, Haozi, you should also study more in the future. Don't think that if you become a police officer, you will not seek improvement!" Meng Fanxing picked up his sister's face and gave a lesson.

"It turns out that it's not a family. If you don't enter the family, you two are not married yet. This is the same tone!" Meng Hao screamed strangely.

"Haozi, I'm not looking for a fight..."

"I have something to do with this, so I'll go back to the clinic first..."

"Go back after dinner?"

"No, when I came back, Haozi and I had already eaten."

...

Buying a radio is to add more information. It is inconvenient to be at home. Meng Fanxing must need a source of information to accept outsiders.

The concession has become an isolated island. Although the Japanese did not restrict the entry and exit of personnel in the concession, they blocked external news very strictly.

News control is even more powerful.

It is quite difficult for ordinary people to get information from outside.

One thing is that radio waves cannot be blocked, and the concession happens to be not directly under the jurisdiction of the Japanese, so it is relatively loose here.

The so-called democracy and freedom in the West have saved a large number of people who are lofty and ambitious who have hidden in the concession.

The Japanese continued to put pressure on the concession, and for various reasons and the appeasement policies of European and American countries, they would sooner or later surrender to the Japanese's tyranny.

In this war concerning the fate of the country and the nation, it is probably impossible for an individual to survive alone.

Forget it.
