Chapter 499
Xu Xiaozhen was concentrating on searching for the English books on the bookshelf. When she found Arthur Conan Doyle's third Holmes novel "The Hound of Baskerville", she couldn't help but feel happy.
According to pages 17, 18, 19 of these English books, she may find two useful and consecutive groups of words. When searching page by page, she is attracted by the tense plot in the book, not only can't let go of it.
This is a series of "Riverside Magazine" from August to April 1901. It can be called the most famous detective novel story. It was a great success when it appeared in the magazine. Under the request of readers, it was difficult to meet the needs if it was printed seven times in a row.
Just when Xu Xiaozhen was attracted by the story in the book and couldn't let go of her love and concentrate on reading, a gloomy question suddenly came from behind her, "What are you looking for?", which was so scared that she subconsciously shook her hand. The book "The Hound in Baskerville" in her hand was about to fall to the ground after she was out of hand.
Seeing that the book was about to fall to the ground, it was caught by the person talking behind him and asked again: "What are you looking for?"
Xu Xiaozhen was so panicked that she didn't turn back to look at the person talking, but just asked nervously: "When did you walk into the study room? You've been in the study room all the time? Why didn't I see you? There was no sound of footsteps?"
"Is that so you are too focused on finding things, so you don't feel someone behind you tell me what you are looking for."
After a few seconds, Xu Xiaozhen forced herself to calm down, slowly turned around and looked at the person who was asking, and shouted in surprise: "Brother Du, you are so scared to death."
"Azhen, I'm asking why you walked into my study without authorization. What are you looking for on my bookshelf? Please give me a satisfactory answer." Du Zongbi, who suddenly appeared behind Xu Xiaozhen to ask, was a devil in Xu Xiaozhen's eyes at this time.
"Brother Du, Mr. Adri and I finished our meal at Shass Restaurant. The hospitality Mr. Adri sent me back to the door and invited him in and left after he was refused. When I returned home, I lay on the sofa in a tired manner.
I accidentally found that the door of the study was not closed. I thought you were in the study, so I left the sofa and walked to the door of the study. In order not to break the rules that you were not allowed to enter the study without permission, I called you twice at the door.
There was no echo of you in the study room. I walked into the study room with concern and saw that there were many books on the bookshelf. I curiously searched for a book I liked to spend my time. I just found the book "The Hound in Baskerville" in your hand and read less than four or five pages, and I heard you ask me behind me.
Brother Du, I know I broke your rules, but I was locked at home all day long and had nothing to do. I saw that the door of the study was not closed and wanted to close the door for you, but I was attracted by the books you collected on the bookshelf. I broke the rules without controlling myself for a while.
If the only brother thinks that I have ulterior motives to go into the study and look for something, then you punish me or drive me out of the house."
"Azhen, don't say that. The books in the study are collected for people to read. You can get my guidance to find you when I am at home. Will you be more smooth?"
"So Brother Du won't punish me anymore? I broke your rules, but I do feel bored at home alone. Besides, I am a knowledgeable young man, especially with a special liking for foreign literature, so..."
Du Zongbi handed the book in his hand to Xu Xiaozhen: "Azhen, since you want to read the novel "The Hound in Baskerville", then take it and read it. Can you recommend a few books to you when I'm at home?"
"Thank you Brother Du for your tolerance for me, and thank you very much for your life-savior for taking me in. I will behave well at home in the future and will never..."
"Ah Zhen is blaming me for saying this? Hahaha, it was Ah Zhen who offended me, who was a villainous practice. But you see that he was so obsessed with the contents of the book. Didn't you hear any sound in the study?"
"Yes, I'm so obsessed with reading. I really didn't hear anything in the study, so you didn't hear any noise even when you walked behind me. You almost scared me to death when you suddenly asked behind me."
Xu Xiaozhen said suddenly and asked, "Brother Du, you rarely leave the military camp during the day to go home. Why do you have to come back today if you have important things? Is there anyone who needs my help?"
Just as Du Zongbi and Xu Xiaozhen were testing each other in the study, the phone ring suddenly sounded. The frightened Xu Xiaozhen suddenly rushed into Du Zongbi's arms and shouted tremblingly: "Who is it, who is calling home now? It's so sudden that it's going to scare people."
Du Zongbi saw Xu Xiaozhen being frightened by the phone ringing, and threw herself into her arms. This was the first time that Xu Xiaozhen had been brought to his house for more than half a year, the two of them were so close.
He did not take advantage of others' danger to take bad actions against Xu Xiaozhen, but instead held up Xu Xiaozhen's beautiful face with both hands. Looking at his pretty face with frightened muscles, he suddenly laughed "haha":
"My beauty is so timid, not afraid. With me here, even the devil will retreat."
The phone kept ringing, and Du Zongbi gently pushed Xu Xiaozhen away and said, "This phone should be for me."
Du Zongbi was about to pick up the phone on the desk, but suddenly stopped and said to Xu Xiaozhen, who not only changed the topic, "Azhen, are you looking for your phone number? Because my friends all know that I am in the military camp during the day and will not call the phone at this time."
He said and signaled Xu Xiaozhen to go to the hall to answer the phone, but he did not answer the phone in the hall and hung up the phone in the study.
Xu Xiaozhen quickly walked out of the study and headed straight to the phone on the table in front of her. She didn't know who called the phone, but what she was most afraid of was Lei Yunfeng or Adri calling at this time.
Once Du Zongbi was hiding at home, he found clues from the call content, it would not only seriously affect the secret investigation mission to be carried out later, but also likely to bring her very great danger to Xu Xiaozhen and them.
"Well, right, is it Miss Xu?" A nervous and urgent urge came out on the phone. Xu Xiaozhen immediately heard that it was Adeli's call, and she was so scared that she quickly said: "Mr. Adeli, did you say you had something to do after you break up? Why......"
"I, suddenly I forgot to tell you one thing, that is, I want to invite Chief Du to dinner tonight. I wonder if Chief Du can be appreciated. Please ask Miss Xu to help communicate? I will call you at 5 pm."
Thankfully, this Adrie did not call him at the time he shouldn't have to talk about some topics that shouldn't be. Xu Xiaozhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Adrie, Chief Du is now at home. Can you tell him directly?"
Aderi on the other end of the phone was not surprised when he heard Xu Xiaozhen say that Du Zongbi was at home. Instead, he covered the microphone and looked at Lei Yunfeng who was coming beside him and whispered a few words. Lei Yunfeng immediately signaled to talk to Du Zongbi to find out the truth.
"Miss Xu, I didn't expect that Chief Du happened to be at home. If Chief Du doesn't mind, please ask him to answer the phone. I personally invite him as my guest. Let's have a party together. I hope Chief Du can give me this face."
"Mr. Adri, please wait, and I will ask Chief Du to answer your call immediately."
