Chapter 6: Co-habitation

However, activating the backup plan requires finding a place to stay and also involves expenses. With no other choice, she can only return to Anping Clinic once again to seek assistance from Lu Xiyan

Anzi Ge, how do you know these things

"Come here, you are already so grown up, afraid of the pain from changing the dressing. How can you be a constable like this?" Lu Xiyan picked up the gauze and scolded.

After returning, he remained upstairs and did not come out again

After that, Meng Hao came again, and in order to avoid drawing attention, he did not go out again

You say I am your relative, a distant cousin?

I was being followed by someone, a Japanese plainclothes officer. Lu Xiyan took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door, then walked over to the sofa and sat down, saying

I waited for about 10 minutes, and it seems they came to change the dressing

... ...

Meng Fanxing nodded

... ...

You should sleep first, and I will discuss it with Haozi again tomorrow

Meng Hao also directly set down his belongings and said something through the door

You are crazy, why did you come so early

I won't waste time chatting with you. What did you discover when you came over last night?

"It should be the clothes I bought for you today that were seen by that Asano, which led to the suspicion," Lu Xiyan said, "However, he only has suspicions and has not been able to find any evidence"

You have already caused us trouble, Ichiro Asano suspects me, and their suspicions are not unfounded. They have traced back along the line we initially ran, and as soon as they discover any anomalies, they will be labeled as suspicious. I am not the only one, but I have certainly been placed on the list for close observation

I asked Haozi to go home and inquire about Uncle Xiangsheng's situation, let's see what he says. You can stay here with me for now, and during the day, you can help out at my clinic, as I happen to need an assistant.

"My teacher at the University of Paris is not only a skilled surgeon but also a forensic expert, frequently invited by the Paris police department to assist in solving cases and to give lectures. Having seen and experienced much, he naturally knows a thing or two," explained Lu Xiyan.

"What should I do, Brother Anzi? Can you help me?" Meng Fanxing said pitifully

Ah?

... ...

Any expert in criminal investigation, if he wishes, can also be a high-IQ criminal

What should I do? I can't just hide here and not go out forever. Meng Fanxing said anxiously

Uncle Xiangsheng has had a difficult time over the past three years, do you know? Now that you have returned, you are actually so heartless as to not even go see him once. Have you considered his feelings?

"Don't tell me you want to be like Da Yu, passing by your home three times without entering?" Lu Xiyan was genuinely a bit angry, as he slammed the chopsticks on the table. What could be more important than a family reunion?

Originally, Meng Fanxing was supposed to go out yesterday afternoon, but because Monte brought the Japanese guests, she was forced to hide in the attic. Fortunately, the Japanese plainclothes officer who went up was startled by a cat, and later, for reasons unknown (it was dark under the light), he did not notice her, thus narrowly escaping a disaster

I am not at ease with either of you, Paris, France, what kind of place is that, what kind of character do the French have, you have been out there for such a long time

Even tigers have their moments of dozing off, solutions will always present themselves. Lu Xiyan rubbed his temples and said, "The Japanese can send someone to follow me, and they might also send someone to keep an eye on the clinic. You need to have a formal identity to enter my circle of life, and it must not be too abrupt."

At 6:40 in the morning, the constable named Meng Hao came by. It was he who led the team to intercept us on Xifai Road three days ago

"Why don't you talk about your situation? What are your thoughts moving forward?" Lu Xiyan needs Meng Fanxing to have the clearest thoughts at this moment.

Anzi Ge, I haven't thought it through yet

Stop it, even if I have this intention, your sister does not. For the past two days, I have been sleeping on the sofa in the living room while she sleeps in my bed, and even the bedding is new. Are you reassured now

... ...

Has Haozi been here?

Ichiro Asano has doubts about you

I followed him all the way; he met with a young woman who was very beautiful. The two appeared to have a close relationship. After having lunch, they went shopping together and bought quite a few things. Around 2 PM, they returned to the clinic together

Meng Fanxing is still intentionally avoiding.

Speaking of this, Ichiro Asano couldn't help but reach out to touch the corner of his mouth, for he had experienced a punch from Meng Hao. Although the injury was not severe, it caused him considerable pain for a long time before it subsided

A face squeezed in at the door.

Anzi, I can only bring them danger if I go back, do you understand

Japanese people

Having found the firefighters, under the pretext of a safety inspection, Meng Fanxing effortlessly slipped out from right under the noses of the plainclothes officers in Japan, completely unnoticed.

"Dangerous, if you do not go back, will they no longer be in danger?" Lu Xiyan scolded, "Do you think the Japanese are so kind-hearted? They will not spare their weapons just because you are innocent?"

Well, it can only be this way

I have said that you can stay here for as long as you want, but the issue is under what pretext, and also, when others ask, how should I introduce you

She feels very conflicted inside; the job she is currently engaged in is too dangerous. If she were to return, it would put her family at risk. If it were not for the chance encounter with Lu Xiyan, she would also not wish to disturb his peaceful life

"Are you worried about me, or are you worried about your sister?" Lu Xiyan asked while putting on a white lab coat

This is a long story, let me find some time...

Around 9:00 AM, the personnel from the French Concession police station came to inspect the safety and fire prevention work

Hi!

At this moment, there can be no room for complacency; even a minor mistake will not only cause trouble for her but will also implicate Lu Xiyan.

Immediately investigate this woman's identity, I want to know everything about her! A glimmer of excitement flashed in Asano Ichirō's eyes

"What do I have to worry about, Anzi? After all, you and my sister have been betrothed since childhood. Even if you sleep together, it doesn't matter." Meng Hao suddenly chuckled and gave a thumbs up.

Meng Hao's work efficiency is still quite fast

"Where is that woman?" Ichiro Asano asked fiercely, glaring at his two subordinates.

Well, however, with the New Year approaching, what excuse should I find...

"Hmm, he just left not long ago. He brought me some food and said you sent him?" Lu Xiyan hasn't returned, and Meng Fanxing doesn't dare to turn on the light

"My sister is living with you, and I really can't feel at ease." Meng Hao clearly hadn't slept well all night, arriving with a pair of panda eyes.

Anzi, your approach is rather heavy-handed this time

Have you seen her coming out from the second floor before

Doctor, I have a stomach ache and have been experiencing diarrhea all night. Could you please take a look at me quickly

... ...

"Indeed, it seems that you are quite clever, Brother An!" Meng Hao's eyes lit up as he slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, Brother An, how did you come to know our patrol leader, Monte?"

Ah, what? I am a doctor, you are a constable. If you cannot handle this matter, I suggest you do not expect to become a detective either

In fact, she had planned to leave without a trace today, but having missed the scheduled rendezvous time, she could not send out the intelligence. She had no choice but to stay and prepare to implement the backup plan to establish contact with her superiors

On such a cold day, one must burn charcoal for warmth indoors. Moreover, finding an excuse for setting off fireworks is not easy, and there are safety hazards. Lu Xiyan slightly shook his head and reminded, "If you are afraid of exposing yourself, you can ask the fire brigade for help, and afterward, just treat someone to a meal."

"Your sister is going out today. You need to find a way so that when she returns, she can reveal her identity openly." As he stood up to see Meng Hao off, Lu Xiyan whispered this in his ear

"Anzi, please don't pressure me. I truly do not want to cause them any trouble," Meng Fanxing said, covering her face, filled with deep guilt.

Early the next morning, Meng Hao arrived at the Anping Clinic, which had just opened its doors not long ago.

Haozi already knows, do you think it can still be kept a secret?

In fact, you can go home today. In the evening, Lu Xiyan prepared several dishes and sat down to have dinner with Meng Fanxing.

Anzi, you are correct. There are indeed some unknown individuals near your clinic, and they have just moved in right behind the alley, diagonally across from your staircase.

It was approximately 11:30, the clinic closed, and Lu Xiyan changed into a new outfit and went out, presumably for a date

Initially, he intended to separate work from life, so he rented this apartment, which he found quite satisfactory at the time. However, it has now become a troublesome matter.

In the French Concession, apart from her family, he was the only one who could help her

I may need to stay with you for a couple more days

Hmm, there is a strong odor on the body

"Isn't it your job to check for suspicious foreign individuals? Can't you just find an excuse to investigate?" Lu Xiyan rolled his eyes and said, "Do I really need to teach you this?"

Please wait

Lu Xiyan felt a twinge of regret; if the staircase had been located inside the clinic, this matter would have been much easier to resolve. Meng Fanxing could have easily disguised herself as his patient and exited through the clinic's main door

No ! ''
