"Look carefully, is the letter the same as Zi Yuan's usual letter writing style?" Lu Ming asked.

"How can I tell that she hasn't written to me yet?" Yuan Mingzhu pouted and said, obviously upset. It stands to reason that Yuan Ziyuan's first letter should be written to her, but in the end there were three letters. , did not write a letter to her.

Lu Ming immediately realized, yes, why didn't Yuan Ziyuan write to Yuan Mingzhu? Could it be that she was afraid of implicating her?

"Then take a good look, is Ziyuan's tone in the letter the same as usual?" Lu Ming said.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Mingzhu's heart sank.

"No, I don't mean anything. I just want to know why she didn't come back. I just wrote letters. I haven't heard that she likes to travel around." Lu Ming said quickly.

"You mean she's in danger? But this letter is indeed her handwriting, it's not wrong, and she seems to be very comfortable reading the meaning of the letter." Yuan Mingzhu's willow eyebrows have already bent into a crescent moon.

"You and Ziyuan are sisters, so there should be telepathy. Since you think it's okay, then it must be okay. It seems that she will travel all over the three mountains and five mountains before she is willing to come back." Lu Ming forced a smile.

If there is anything strange about this letter, it is that Sheng Muyi and Yuan Mingzhu are not mentioned in a single word. If Sheng Muyi is with her, she must bring a few words home, not to mention that the letter is sent to Sheng Youde's.

What does this mean?

At least it can show that Yuan Ziyuan knew that Sheng Muyi had left, no matter whether they left together or separately, not mentioning Yuan Mingzhu was of course to protect her.

The calmness reflected in the letter is of course a disguise. Ziyuan's scheming is the deepest among the girls Lu Ming has ever met, forming a sharp contrast with Mingzhu.

"Since Yuan Ziyuan can send three letters back, it means that she is safe and sound, so don't worry about it, sister Mingzhu." Zhang Ziyang persuaded.

Of course he could see that something was wrong, but he didn't want Mingzhu to worry.

"I still want to look for her, I can't settle down if I don't see her." Mingzhu wrinkled her small nose and said.

"Old man Sheng has already contacted the police, gang leaders and business celebrities in Lushan and Tai'an, and asked them to help find Ziyuan and escort her back to Shanghai after finding her. This method is much more effective than us running to find her."

"Really?" Yuan Mingzhu became happy. After all, her sister is the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family, and the Sheng family will not ignore her.

"Of course it's true, I personally recorded the telegram." Lu Ming laughed.

Yuan Mingzhu didn't have to worry anymore, as long as Sheng Youdeken stepped forward, the matter would become clear.

The three of them relaxed and went home after eating and drinking.

The next morning, Lu Ming went to the photo studio to get the film and the printed photos, and then took the photos and looked at them repeatedly, but there was still nothing unusual.

Sheng Youde said that the layout and furnishings of the room were the same as before Sheng Muyi's accident, except that the "New Youth" magazine, the camera and a few new films were missing, there was nothing unusual.

"Sir, what are you doing taking these photos?" The people in the photo studio wondered.

In the photo is a boudoir of a lady, nothing special, why are you taking pictures from front to back, left to right?Films were very expensive at that time, so if you use expensive film to take this kind of photos, isn’t there too much money and no place to spend it?

"Oh, I just started learning photography, and I took a few indoor photos to practice my hands." Lu Ming said perfunctorily.

"Which eldest lady's boudoir is this? It's decorated like a fairy's residence." The guy envied.

Lu Ming ignored him, packed the negatives and photos and walked out of the photo studio.

Suddenly seeing a familiar figure walking by the door of the photo studio, he hurriedly took two steps and shouted, "Mr. Qiantian, why are you here?"

Hearing his voice, Qian Tian stopped, bowed and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I met Lu Sang here."

"It's a coincidence. I'm here to develop some photos. I seldom come to this area. It's a long way from your consulate, and there's not much scenery to see. Why did you come here?"

"Hey, I'm out to do some errands. Just after finishing my work, I just wandered around the street. I don't want to go back right away." Qian Tian smiled, then blinked.

Lu Ming also saw that Qian Tian was followed by several tails.

"Then let's find a place to have a drink or two?" Lu Ming invited.

"Drinking? It's too early." Qian Tian smiled.

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and it was indeed too early to drink.

"It's a rare chance encounter, just have a few drinks, whether it's early or late." Lu Ming warmly invited.

"Okay, since Lu Sang is so interested, I will accompany you."

The place is close to the British Concession, and the two found a restaurant in the British Concession. They only wanted a bottle of Scotch whiskey and nothing else. They drank after pouring two glasses.

The hotel waiter was a little dazed looking at these two weird guests. Even alcoholics rarely drink alcohol at this time. Generally, alcoholics are still drunk at this time.

"Has Mr. Benzhuang Fan gone back?" Lu Mingruo asked intentionally or not.

"It's been a long time since I've been back. He came to Shanghai for nothing. It seems that he just wanted to see your old Mr. Zheng." Qian Tian smiled.

"Running so far just to meet someone, and a hermit?" Lu Ming thought it didn't make sense at all.

"I don't know the details either. You know that the people in our consulate don't deal with them. They won't tell us what they are doing."

"So, your consulate is not as good as Mantie in terms of intelligence collection." Lu Ming laughed.

"Who said that, we are not vegetarians, and we have found out some inside information through various channels." Qiantian smiled proudly.

"How to say?"

Qian Tian looked around and made sure that there was no one else in the tavern. He leaned over and whispered in Lu Ming's ear, "I heard that a group of people in China wanted to take your Emperor Xuantong to Japan to raise him, but yours Emperor Xuantong was hesitant, and the main purpose of Zhuang Fan coming to Shanghai was to ask Mr. Zheng to go out and persuade the abdicated emperor."

"They have such good intentions?" Lu Ming wondered.

"Good intentions? Who knows. Let me tell you, we are also preventing this." Qian Tian said mysteriously.

"Why stop?"

"This group of people want to make a fuss about your Emperor Xuantong, which will obviously affect Sino-Japanese relations." Qian Tian laughed.

Lu Ming understood a little bit, it was just like Cao Cao hijacking Emperor Han back then, but Xuan Tong has abdicated, and now he is just an ordinary person, hiding in Tianjin as an apartment, and he heard that life is a bit difficult, and he was brought out from the palace by pawn sale The antique calligraphy and painting for a living.

Do the Japanese want to create a modern version of the emperor to command the princes?

They're not that stupid, are they?Don't they know that Xuantong has no appeal at all?

But this is also a very noteworthy trend, so I have to go back and study it carefully.

"By the way, is there a person named Pu Zhenchang hiding in your consulate?" Lu Ming asked again.

"Why are you inquiring about him?" Qian Tian asked with some vigilance.

"This bastard betrayed some of my friends. I want to beat him up and vent my anger." Lu Ming laughed.
