Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen Accidental or Inevitable?

The lights in the windows went out.The sudden darkness instantly extinguished Qin Zheng's memories.He shuddered, as if a sleeping person was suddenly awakened by a basin of cold water. "What's wrong with me? How many important tasks are waiting for me to finish! The day that Zhao Fengnian said is getting closer. But the location and details of the joint are still unknown. And that strange note , What kind of information does it contain?" Qin Zheng couldn't help but blamed himself deeply. Back at the clinic, he held the photo with the note in his hands and thought hard.The more confused and disorderly he became, the more nervous and flustered he became.When it was almost dawn, he managed to sleep for a while with the help of medicine.

That morning, he called the team together.He spread out the map and allocated the urban area and the concession area to everyone, including Guzi.According to his request, everyone should keep the content on the note firmly in mind. "Looking is your only task. Whether it's a store, a tavern or a hotel. Whether it's a signboard, a menu, or a movie ticket. As long as there is a foreign language, you must read it in detail. Once you find the same foreign language as the note, let me know immediately. "Although Qin Zheng knows that this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, this is the only thing he can do so far.

And Qin Zheng locked himself in the room.He no longer held that photo.Because the handwriting on the photo has long been deeply engraved in his mind.He closed his eyes to calm himself down, and carefully analyzed the ins and outs of Lao Zhao's arrest in order to obtain clues.Three days passed without even a faint spark lighting up in his mind. On the evening of the third day, He Sihai was the first to return to the clinic.He didn't pay attention to Qin Zheng who was sitting in the chair thinking hard, and threw his body on the bed all at once. "Doctor, can you give me another task, I'm dying." He Sihai said while throwing a piece of cardboard on the table in front of him.

"Where have you been today?" "I've finished running in the French Concession, and I made a round trip to Zhabei today." He Sihai said weakly.Suddenly, he saw Qin Zheng jump up from the chair and grab the piece of cardboard on the table.The originally bleak, bloodshot eyes shot out a light of surprise. "Where did you get this?" Qin Zheng asked eagerly. "It's stuck between the doors of the clinic. What is this?" He Sihai also turned over and sat up. "This is an advertisement, a leaflet from a western medicine company." He Sihai felt that Qin Zheng's words were trembling slightly with excitement.

He Sihai leaned over: "Is this important?" "Nothing else is important, only this is the most important." Qin Zheng pointed to a word and said. He Sihai didn't know the meaning of that word, but he was familiar with the second half of it: Eprazinone-mucitux. After a while, Qin Zheng calmed down.His clinic has received similar ads before.But is it just a coincidence this time?Having worked underground for so long, the word accident does not exist in Qin Zheng's dictionary.Maybe the insider comrades handed it over to Shen Qiong, and Shen Qiong stuffed it into the door of the clinic?Although there is such a possibility, Qin Zheng feels that this does not seem to be Shen Qiong's style of doing things.How could she not hand over such important information to him personally.But in any case, the matter has reached a very urgent moment.Because the enemy must have got this ad card too.

"What the hell is this, doctor?" He Sihai couldn't help interrupting Qin Zheng's meditation. "This is a newly marketed western medicine for cough relief." "What should we do next?" "The first thing to do is to go to this western medicine company." Just as he was talking, Liao Yan and Gu Zi came back at the same time.Qin Zheng briefly told Liao Yan about the situation.He asked Liao Yan to go back immediately and prepare a reporter's credentials overnight. Liao Yan came early the next morning.From his red eyes, it can be seen that he has not slept all night.Qin Zheng took the certificate and opened it for a look.

"Declared, can you see it?" "Okay, very well done." At this time, Qin Zheng was already dressed neatly in a suit and leather shoes.With a hairstyle parted in the middle and round glasses, he looks like a reporter.Out of caution, he decided to change to rickshaws several more times on the road.When he took the last rickshaw and went straight to the pharmaceutical company in the International Settlement.He didn't expect that a group of uninvited guests had already ushered in the manager's office. Relatively speaking, Team Leader Wang is a Chinese who is "relatively" appreciated by the Japanese.This is not only because this person is proficient in both English and Japanese, but also because he is tactful, alert and sensitive.As the rulers of most of Shanghai, the Japanese already have some disdain for the blond and blue-eyed Westerners who control the concession.Facing the arrogance of the Japanese, these British and Americans did not buy it, and they clearly showed a non-cooperative attitude when they needed some contact.There have been officers of the Japanese army who quarreled with them in the concession, but there is no precedent for getting things done.The Japanese knew that one day, sooner or later, the empire would occupy this piece of land that the Chinese called the "isolated island" and send all these arrogant and rude Westerners to concentration camps.But right now, the time is not yet ripe.So in general affairs, they would rather let the Chinese work in the concession.Team Leader Wang, as the team leader directly responsible for tracking down the "note", took on this task duty-bound after he obtained information on the content of the note related to a new drug from a British pharmaceutical company in the concession.

Early in the morning, he took a dozen brothers into the International Settlement.According to the rules, he found an English detective who had dealt with before, and when a stack of banknotes was stuffed into his pocket, he happily took them to the pharmacy.Unexpectedly, after all the good words, the manager of the pharmacy flatly rejected his request. "That's impossible. I would never give you my client's address. You know, no one wants to deal with the police." Team Leader Wang turned around and looked at the white detective accompanying him as if asking for help. The detective shrugged his shoulders: "I can't do anything."

"This is a big case, a big case related to the Communists." Team leader Wang was a little anxious. "I don't care what the Communist Party is. I only know that these people are our customers. And customers are our God." The manager of the pharmacy was not accommodating. "It seems that I have no choice but to take you to the Chief Inspector. After explaining the situation, he may issue a search warrant for us." After all, the Inspector received money, and he wanted to do his best to help Team Leader Wang. When Team Leader Wang and his party left the medicine store, they passed Qin Zheng at the door.Team Leader Wang paused for a moment, and looked back at Qin Zheng's back, as if he felt familiar.But I couldn't remember it for a while.He couldn't help thinking about it because of the heavy responsibility, so he got in the car and went straight to the police station.

Qin Zheng also had a sense of déjà vu, but he didn't look back, but slowly searched for this face in his memory. Maybe it's because of his handsome and elegant appearance, maybe because of his fluent English.As soon as they met, Qin Zheng left a good impression on the manager of the pharmacy. "I'm the manager, what can I do for you?" After signaling Qin Zheng to sit down, the manager returned the press card to him. "Currently, I'm writing a report on the popularity of Western medicine in China." "I thought it must be interesting." "As far as I know, your company has been sparing no effort to promote Western medicine to the Chinese public, and some of them are new medicines that have just come out."

"indeed so." "However, you have to admit that most ordinary Chinese people have a feeling of resistance to Western medicine, and they still trust Chinese medicine more." "Yeah, this is a problem we have been worrying about. Our prices have dropped again and again." Qin Zheng's words obviously touched the manager's mind. "Sir, I think it's not just a matter of price, it's more a matter of habit." The manager nodded thoughtfully. "The point of my article is that Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own strengths and are suitable for different diseases. For example, for respiratory diseases such as asthma and pneumonia, the effect of Western medicine will be better." "I very much agree with your point of view." "Then you must be willing to provide me with distribution channels for some expensive medicines. I really want to get the opinions of those doctors and patients on those medicines." "Extremely happy." The manager stood up, turned and walked to a filing cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out a stack of receipts and put them on the table. "At present, our medicines are only wholesaled to some practicing doctors in the British Concession, and they will prescribe them to patients. You will definitely get the most authentic answers from them. You can copy a list of our customers." After Qin Zheng thanked him, he took out a notebook and a pen with one hand.The other hand opened the document.His fingers moved quickly on the document, and soon he clicked on the name of the new drug - Eprazinone-mucitux.He turned to the corresponding page number, and there was a large list of doctors' signatures and the name and address of the clinic. Qin Zheng began to record the list in his notebook.He stopped recording suddenly.His finger was on a doctor's signature. Manfred is the surname part of that signature.The letters "n, e" in it exactly match the handwriting on the note. Qin Zheng suppressed his excitement, and copied the list of several medicines before closing the slip and handing it back to the manager. "Thank you for your help." "I look forward to reading your wonderful article." Qin Zheng finally remembered the scene in the library at the place where Team Leader Wang passed by when he came to the door.Moreover, he suddenly understood why he had a strange feeling at that time. He remembered that there were seven or eight other people in the library besides this young man, but none of them sat at the reading table to read. Everyone stood in front of the bookshelf and flipped through the pages quickly, as if they were looking for something. Now it seems that their goals should be consistent with their own. Then they are all traitors and spies!
