The secret war is silent

This is the piano score, what's there to study... Gong Hui took it and flipped through two pages and said.

Although she can play the piano, she can only play a few simple pieces, and she hasn't touched the piano for many years. It's hard to say whether she can still talk about it now.

But I still know the musical notation.

Take it back.

good.

Since Luo Yao said so and Gong Hui no longer insisted, maybe he had discovered something. It would be a pity if he missed it.

Has all the garbage at Sakurako Kondo's house been checked?

I checked and found nothing.

Is there any hidden compartment in the house? Have the safes been checked?

No hidden compartment was found, but there was a safe. In the study, I found some cash and jewelry, as well as a camera and film.

film?

The film in the camera has been taken out and handed over to the photo team for development and printing. The rest is blank film.

After printing, send it over immediately.

yes.

Give me a copy of the registration form for the items in the safe. Luo Yao ordered.

OK.

Although Kondo Sakurako has not been in Shancheng for a long time, she is still a slightly famous movie star, plus Li Haihuai usually gives her.

Kondo Sakurako has accumulated a lot of wealth. She basically has no money to store in the bank. Instead, she converts it into hard currency such as gold and US dollars and puts it in a safe at home. She usually only keeps part of the legal currency for her own use.

The money will naturally be confiscated.

Kondo Sakurako's residence was very clean, and no unusual items were found except for the musical score.

Then Luo Yao went to the company where Kondo Sakurako signed a contract and searched the dressing room where she usually works.

Didn't find anything useful.

Although she uses the dressing room alone, it is a public place after all, and people come in and out from time to time.

If there is a secret, it would be too dangerous to hide it there. If someone discovers the secret, it will be a disaster.

Searching the dressing room was just to ensure that no suspicious place was missed.

…

Yan Feng, ask your Xiaoling to help me make an appointment with Zhou Ran, and tell her about my business. Luo Yao returned to the military technical room and called Yan Feng over.

Okay, I'll tell her when I get back.

You go tell me now, I want the exact information. Luo Yao said, regarding the music score, he knew people who could play the piano and were proficient in music. After thinking about it, Zhou Ran was the only one, and Gong Hui was only semi-professional. Bottle of water.

Are you in a hurry? Yan Feng asked.

Yes, very urgent.

Then I'll go now. If Zhou Ran has time, when do you plan to meet? Yan Feng asked.

The sooner the better, preferably today.

Okay, I understand. Yan Feng nodded and immediately went back to find his wife. Although he was very familiar with Zhou Ran, he was a married woman after all. Even if the relationship was close, he should keep a distance.

…

Because of the summer vacation, Zhou Ran was resting at home and basically had nothing to do. Apart from participating in some social activities, he spent most of his time at home.

Of course, there is another important thing, which is blind date.

At her age, she was not married yet, so her family was naturally anxious. After all, women were not admitted to college.

Zhou Ran has a lot of friends. After all, his family is wealthy, but he doesn't have many real close friends, namely Hu Xiaoling and Jiang Lin.

Except for Hu Xiaoling, a good friend from her student days, most of them are single. Once a woman gets married, she doesn't have so much freedom.

When she was bored at home, Hu Xiaoling's arrival gave her a feeling of escaping from prison.

Without saying a word, he packed up and left.

Sister Xiaoling, what do you want from me in Luo Yao?

I don't know either. I was just ordered to come here to invite you. Hu Xiaoling chuckled. She knew what her friend was thinking, but she knew very well that no matter how hard Zhou Ran tried, it was all in vain.

There's no way this is possible.

You and Yan Feng are now working with Luo Yao. Finally, Ji Tai is here. Zhou Ran was actually a little envious.

We have no choice. If Luo Yao hadn't taken us in, our future life would have been even more difficult. He is so busy that he can't always pay attention to it. Hu Xiaoling is very aware of the dangers of the world. Even if Luo Yao helped the couple get their money back, Fair enough, but this is only temporary. Unless they move their family away from the mountain city, they will have to find someone to protect them. Who else can compare to Luo Yao?

What exactly does Luo Yao do? I asked you several times and you didn't tell me? Zhou Ran asked curiously.

Xiao Ran, it's not that I don't say it, but I can't say it. This is a confidentiality rule. Yan Feng and I have signed a confidentiality agreement. If you violate the rules, you will be severely punished. Hu Xiaoling said.

Hey, I knew you would say that...

Okay, if you want to know, you can ask Luo Yao directly. If he tells you, there will be no problem.

Why can't he just tell me the rules?

He made the rules, you said he can't say them? Hu Xiaoling smiled slightly.

He's too domineering. Didn't you see him like this when you were in school? Zhou Ran muttered dissatisfied.

That's because you don't understand how he got here all these years. Hu Xiaoling said.

Sister Xiaoling, do you know how he came here all these years? Zhou Ran asked curiously.

I also heard something from Yan Feng, but I'm not very clear about the specifics. Hu Xiaoling hesitated and said.

Say it quickly, say it quickly...

Along the way, Hu Xiaoling told Zhou Ran about Luo Yao. Of course, this was limited to what she knew and could say.

She doesn't know what she can't say.

Of course it was impossible for Luo Yao to meet Zhou Ran in the military technical room. After all, Zhou Ran was just a teacher, not even a government official.

There are secrets in the military technical room. How could she, an ordinary person, enter at will? Who will bear the consequences of leaking secrets?

Therefore, he decided that the meeting place should be at home.

There is no problem meeting your college classmates at your own home.

Here we are, Xiaoran, park the car on the roadside in front. Hu Xiaoling pointed to the corner of the roadside in front and said.

Is it okay to park here? Zhou Ran was a little worried. His car had been stolen before. If it weren't for the strength of his family, he might not be able to get it back.

Don't worry, this is in Huangjiaoya, the area with the best security in the entire mountain city, bar none. Hu Xiaoling said.

ah?

You will know this later. Hu Xiaoling was mysterious. She thought it was incredible at first, but then she gradually understood and realized that here is the government's largest secret agency, the military technical room. Whether it is the police or gangs, they are all closely guarded. The control is in the hands of Luo Yao, the deputy director of the military technical room.

This place is equivalent to a small independent kingdom, with Luo Yao's people from top to bottom, and there is not even any Zhongtong or Communist Party activities here.

Anyone who wants to come in will be quietly sent out with courtesy.

This is also the model area of ​​the Mountain City Three Youth League...

After getting off the car, Hu Xiaoling led Zhou Ran into an alley, and someone immediately stepped forward and stopped them.

It's a secret whistle.

Only when people you don't know enter the alley will they be stopped. If you know them, the time of coming and going will only be recorded.

Hu Xiaoling is obviously not a frequent visitor to Luo Yao's house, and Zhou Ran is here for the first time. Both of them are relatively unfamiliar faces.

After checking Hu Xiaoling's ID and confirming her identity and purpose of coming, they were allowed to continue walking inside.

This scene made Zhou Ran feel a little nervous.

It was obvious that she had not encountered such a situation yet.

Don't be nervous. It's just your first time here and you're like this. It was the same when Yan Feng and I came here for the first time. You'll just get used to it in the future.

Can I come again?

It should be no problem. Luo Yao only has a few of our classmates in the mountain city. Is it possible that he and his classmates are missing?

Oh, let's go. The yard where he lives has to be walked a little further.

There are no small stone lions at the door, and the gate is also a very ordinary courtyard gate. The gate is closed, but there must be someone inside.

Hu Xiaoling reached out and knocked on the door.

coming.

Uncle Dong. The person who opened the door was Old Dong, and Hu Xiaoling naturally knew him.

This is Mrs. Yan, please come in quickly. Mr. Luo called back and said he will be back in a moment. Old Dong led the two girls in and explained as they walked.

The little black eyelid that was enjoying the coolness in the corner of the wall raised slightly and then closed it again. If there was no danger, it would not bother to move.

You two, please sit down. I'll make you tea. Lao Dong was at home alone. After Kondo Sakurako was arrested, Yu Jie no longer needed to act. He did not come back immediately, but went to accompany Sister Xing. These days, he also owes his wife.

Yang Fan is basically away from home during the day and only comes back at night. Only Lao Dong, Luo Nan and Xiao Hei are at home.

Luo Nan is at the hospital at the moment.

So there was only Lao Dong at home. He was taking a nap just now. Luo Yao called back and found out that Hu Xiaoling was bringing someone with him.

Thank you, Uncle Dong. Hu Xiaoling said hurriedly, and Zhou Ran also thanked Hu Xiaoling.

It's hot, I'll turn on the fan for you, so it'll be cooler. Old Dong turned on the ceiling fan in the living room, and the wind blowing down instantly cooled him down a lot.

He stared for more than a quarter of an hour.

Old Dong went to open the door again, and it was Luo Yao who came back. Of course, he was not the only one, but also Yan Feng and Gong Hui.

The three of them walked into the courtyard together.

Entering the living room, Zhou Ran knew Yan Feng, but was not familiar with Gong Hui yet. However, he was still a little cautious when meeting under such circumstances.

Yan Feng, please accompany Xiaoling. I have something to discuss with Zhou Ran. After a brief greeting, Luo Yao went straight to the topic.

Okay. Yan Feng nodded.

Zhou Ran followed Luo Yao into the study, and Gong Hui followed naturally.

Zhou Ran, I asked Xiaoling to invite you here because I want you to help me look at this music score. Luo Yao handed over the music score he found at Kondo Sakurako's house.

Zhou Ran took it doubtfully, opened it, and glanced at it casually: This is a piano etude composed by Mr. Chopin...

sure?

Yes, but there seems to be something wrong in the back... Zhou Ran didn't think that Luo Yao came to him for a simple matter of appraising the music score. There must be a deeper reason.

Oh, what's wrong there?

Someone has changed this etude.

Can you play it?

I don't know, there's no piano here...

I have a piano at home, do you want to give it a try? Gong Hui said, not long after Kondo Sakurako's piano was moved back.
