Top of my list of wonderful wives!
"Of course," Deng Tong pointed outside, "Look, what can you see?"
Fang Zhiqiang looked at it in confusion for a while, then hesitantly said: "Hotel? Shopping mall? Streetlight? Beauty?"
Deng Tongtong: "What is missing?"
Fang Zhiqiang thought for a long time and asked: "What is missing."< br />
Deng Tong patted the table and said: "Fog!"
Fang Zhiqiang was even more confused: "Fog? What's wrong with the fog?" Deng Tong sighed and shook his head: " No, you don’t even understand this, do you? Think about it, you are standing here at night, the surroundings are gray, even the street lights can only see vague shadows, and a large group of heavily armed people are looking for you on the street. . What about you? You hid behind the pillar, listened to the slight footsteps, found your position, jumped over, and chopped down a person with a brush. The people around you screamed and shot in your direction. As a result, you Smiled
Smiled, took a few steps back, and the whole person disappeared into the white mist. Isn’t it cool?”
Fang Zhiqiang held his forehead and said: “So , your regret is that you have never experienced the feeling of being a middle schooler?"
Deng Tongtong: "That's not true, a man should be passionate and enjoy this super cool fighting method. It's a pity that this This place has never had a chance of fog."
Fang Zhiqiang exhaled and said: "There has been no fog here for a long time. The title of Fog City was probably half a century ago. It's settled."
Just as he was talking, the person he had arranged to meet finally arrived.
The visitor was in his forties, wearing a black windbreaker and a black top hat. He was dressed like an old-school aristocrat and looked polite in every gesture. Seeing Fang Zhiqiang, he immediately took off his hat and extended his hand enthusiastically. Fang Zhiqiang looked at his behavior, and the word "gentle beast" came to his mind. Maybe this man was indeed a true gentleman, but his bones bled dirty blood. His ancestors used plunder and killing to accumulate wealth for future generations.
With a huge amount of wealth, everyone of their generation looks like a pious philanthropist, which is quite ironic when you think about it.
Carter said: "Mr. Fang, although we didn't communicate much last time we met, I was very impressed by you. It's a real honor to meet you today."
He shook hands with Fang Zhiqiang, and then quickly put his hands back into his wide sleeves, as if he was hiding something.
Fang Zhiqiang vaguely remembers saying a few words to him, but they only met and chatted casually on the road, and chose to contact him only because of that intersection. At this moment, people from Dongji might have set up surveillance here. Fang Zhiqiang said calmly:"I have admired you for a long time, especially the land where you are. Every time I mention this city, I always think of two people."
Carter asked: "Who are the two people?"
Fang Zhiqiang said: "The first one is naturally the famous detective. When I first read A Study in Scarlet, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night." Carter said with surprise and joy: "It turns out that sir is still interested in this. To tell you the truth, when I was very young, I also imagined that I could transform into a great detective. I tried to submit mystery novels when I was in high school, and even now I still
Sometimes I take out what I wrote at that time and read it.”
Fang Zhiqiang pretended to be interested With a look on his face, he said: "Is there such a thing? Then I'm very interested. If I have the chance, I must read Mr.'s masterpiece." Carter was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Really? Then invite Mr. to my house Sit down, I remember the last time I took out those things was last year. My son accidentally dug them out. Where did he put them after reading them?
Fang Zhiqiang was speechless, thinking it was true or not, brother, why don't you be so upright? I'm just being polite.
Thinking about it, for him now, the most important thing is to make Tony believe as much as possible that he has a close relationship with Black Pearl. Going directly to someone else's house seems to be a good choice.
So he said: "Then please lead the way, sir."
Following Carter into the car, Fang Zhiqiang noticed that since shaking hands, this man's hands have always been hidden in his sleeves Even after getting into the car, he didn't stretch it out. I don't know if this is his habit or if he is hiding something in his sleeves.
The driver drove the luxury car forward smoothly, and soon he reached the Thames River and drove along the riverside for another twenty minutes. Carter led Fang Zhiqiang and Deng Tong into the mansion, served them tea, and then entered the room. When he came out, he had changed into a set of clothes, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were also exposed. If it weren't for the fact that he was actually holding rags in his hands
, Fang Zhiqiang will definitely wonder if he is rushing home just to change clothes.
"Mr. Fang, this is what I wrote when I was in high school. If you are interested, take a look." Carter handed over the tattered notebook. After Fang Zhiqiang took it, he put his hand back into his sleeve. inside.
Fang Zhiqiang smiled awkwardly and read on, during which he noticed that Carter's eyes were very expectant. Due to the language difference and the sloppy handwriting, it took him a long time to read it.
The story is very simple. In a manor, a servant killed his master with a frozen sword. After the ice melted on its own,The murder weapon disappeared, so the police spent a lot of money to find the murderer.
Seeing Fang Zhiqiang closing the book, Carter couldn’t wait to ask: "Mr. Fang, how do you feel?"
Fang Zhiqiang was very confused. This man seemed to be You really care. Would it embarrass him if you tell the truth?
Carter saw his difficulty and added: "It's all from high school. The submission was rejected by the editor at that time. If you think there is anything wrong with it, feel free to say it."
Fang Zhiqiang said: "Then please forgive me for offending me. First of all, the method used by Detective Cole in your novel to solve the problem is a bit cheating. I guess you reached that point when you wrote it and found that you couldn't continue. It was just a temporary flaw."
Carter said: "Mr. Fang, you are so smart, you saw what I was thinking at once. Is there anything else?" Fang Zhiqiang said: "Also, the murder scene you designed and the motivation of the servant seemed to be just to complete the task of killing people with an ice sword. The reasons given were all far-fetched. It even made me feel that all the designs looked like
It’s to let the old man die."
Carter patted his thigh and said: "You are so right, you are really my confidant."
Two After personally discussing this for a long time, Carter's enthusiastic attitude almost made Fang Zhiqiang forget the purpose of his trip.
Finally after discussing the story, Carter turned to ask: "Mr. Fang, you said before that you remembered another person, who is this person?"
< br /> Fang Zhiqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was finally getting to the point, and said, "I haven't read much about this person's works, but there is one sentence that I believe most people have heard of."
Carter asked: "Which sentence is it?" Fang Zhiqiang said: "tobeornottobe,that"sthequestion."
