The plane went down in the sea ten nautical miles off the San Plus Strait of Panama.Most of the passengers were seriously injured, and they were taken to a dedicated hospital at an air force airfield at the east end of the canal for treatment.
"Tonight is Christmas Eve."
The next morning, Zhezhu heard Rivamore talking to a woman in the ward.He walked over to take a look and found a Japanese woman in the room.The woman was twenty-four or five years old, wearing a coat with a black lace collar, and she looked very delicate.
"This is my secretary, Ms. Takami Manaya."
Rivamore introduced to Zhezhu.
The incident happened suddenly, and Ms. Maya came to the hospital immediately after getting off the plane.Rivamore entrusted her with some matters, mainly instructing several trading companies under her to take holidays during the Christmas period, and said that she wanted to go to the warm California for the holidays.In the afternoon of that day, Zhezhu invited Ms. Maya to take a walk on the embankment.
"How many years have you worked with Mr. Rivermore?"
"It's been four years." Ms. Maya's answer was very succinct, she didn't seem to like being invited by Oretake.
What a girl of few words.Oretake also immediately noticed that Ms. Maya's attitude towards him was very cold.I don't know why Rivermore hired such a quiet woman as a secretary.Looking at her cold and cold appearance, it seems that she is practicing in order to erase her own feelings.
The two were relatively speechless, and walked back to the hospital in such an embarrassing manner.That night, Masaya planned to take a flight back to New York.
Zhezhu offered to take her to the airport again.
"It will take a long time to fly to New York. You'd better take a sleeper plane as a woman."
"The sleeper plane departs at 11:50, and costs three dollars and seventy-five cents more than a normal plane."
The night in the South China Sea at eight degrees north latitude is so charming, because it is located in the windless zone, so there is no wind at night.The leaves of the coconut trees remained motionless, casting their shadows on the ground.Zhezhu and Miss Maya walked forward silently stepping on the shadows.Zhezhu is still thinking about this girl's mind, he really doesn't understand why she treats him so coldly.Maya holds the ticket in his hand, and before long, the girl will board the plane and disappear from his eyes like a gust of wind.After that, the two never saw each other again.This girl must have a secret in her heart, she kept biting her lip as if she wanted to say it but couldn't, it seems that what she wanted to tell me must be not simple.
When Zhezhu thought this way, the weather forecast suddenly came to his ears.
"There is heavy snow in New York. The lowest cloud cover is 300 meters, and the visibility is only about one and a half meters. The temperature is forty-two degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity is thirty-five. There will be another heavy snow on Christmas Eve."
It's snowing in New York on Christmas Eve.For some reason, Zhezhu felt very melancholy.He saw Maya sitting on the seat through the door of the waiting room, his shoulders trembling as if he was crying.Would that frosty Miss Maya cry too?Zhezhu felt very puzzled, quietly walked to her side, stroked her shoulder and asked:
"What's wrong with you, can you tell me why you are crying?"
Hearing someone talking to herself, the icy-cold Miss Maya suddenly raised her wet cheeks and looked at Zhezhu.Zhezhu originally thought that the girl would cry and throw herself into his arms.But Masaya still suppressed his feelings, and the cold sadness on his face could not be easily erased... After a while, Ms. Masaya spoke to Zhezhu for the first time in a feminine and weak tone.She began to explain why she was crying.
"You also heard the broadcast just now. Tonight, on Christmas Eve, there will be heavy snowfall in New York. On Christmas Eve five years ago, my brother was taken away by the prosecutor. My brother Soji, Takami Soji, you know ?"
"I know, I heard that he is a master at making mechanical models. So you are Zong Erjun's younger sister..."
"Yes. Brother Zong has been in prison for five full years. Before he was taken away, he had been making a model of the Panama Canal without sleep or food."
"What? A model of the canal?" Zhezhu became interested.
"I don't understand. The Panama Canal is a great project. Because this canal was dug for shipping and has no military purpose. Therefore, the government will not stop its information from being released to the world. Ordinary universities There should be a model of the canal in it, why did he make one specially?"
"Actually, the university commissioned him to make the model. The place where my brother made the model is the factory of the university. Once when my brother was making a model, he accidentally dripped red ink on the model. Because of this, he was taken away. gone."
Wouldn't it be unbelievable to be arrested and locked up just because you dirty the model?But the well-informed Zhezhu knew that there must be an unknown reason behind this.The Panama Canal has three locks, named Gatun, Miraflores and Pedro Miguel.And there was a strange accident near the Pedro Miguel gate, which caused the water near the gate to be dyed red.This is the biggest accident since the opening of the Panama Canal.It seems that the girl does not know the reason for this.
The culprit that stains the waters near the gates red is a red silt.Someone poured red silt into the pipes of the gate storage tank, and the lake was stained red.Later, this strange mud was found at the bottom of the lock chamber of the Gatun lock.
This incident made the managers of the canal, that is, the Americans, very sensitive. They suspected that this was a preparation for the destruction of the canal.
After the red ink dripped on the model, Zeng Er didn't wipe it off.And it just so happens that where the ink fell was where the red ooze was found.When the person who received the model saw the ink print, he immediately thought of the accident that happened not long ago, and suspected that Zongji was related to the sabotage incident, so he notified the US side and had him taken away and detained.
In fact, what is really incredible is the silt, and Zongji's bad luck led to the prison.
"It's really unfortunate." Zhezhu said with a sigh.Once it has something to do with national defense, the government will not give up easily.If such a thing happened in an ordinary murder case, it would definitely be treated as a coincidence.Oretake believes Souji is innocent.
He wanted to help this young man, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to the suffering of his compatriots.The thought of the innocent young Japanese being secretly arrested by the American police made him feel his blood rushing to his heart.Makoto continued:
"After my brother was arrested, I had to find a job to support myself... At that time, Mr. Rivermore approached me and asked me to be his secretary."
This is really strange, Zhezhu thought to himself.Why did Rivamore insist on finding Masaya to be his secretary?Does he have eyes and ears in the Japanese stock exchange?Even those things that are not written in the newspapers, he can get news through his eyes and ears.Maybe he kept Zhenya by his side in order to ask Zong some important secrets after he was released from prison after serving his 20-year sentence.For these, he really put in a lot of work.
You nicknamed "Black Bishop", that's why you let Masaya work for you?And you asked me to find some platinum is just an excuse.The ghost knows what conspiracy and tricks are going on behind your back.
Such a treacherous man must not be careless.Zhezhu thought to himself in his heart.At this time, Maya said to Oretake again:
"I'm such a bastard, no matter what happens to me, it will be messed up, and the people with me will also be unlucky. Sometimes I even think, I just find someone I don't like and marry him off. Oh, how stupid of me to think that. How stupid of me..."
Maya supported his head with his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly.My beloved elder brother suffered misfortune, and his life became lifeless.For the first time, she told others about the depression in her heart.In her opinion, Zhezhu is a kind and dependable man.Otherwise, I wouldn't open up my heart in front of him.
Maybe this man can help me and save my brother.For some reason, Maiya subconsciously came up with such an idea.As long as I hold on tight to this man and keep him by my side, I will be happy.
Perhaps seeing hope, Masaya did not leave the hospital in a hurry.After about a week or so, Rivamore's serious injury was basically healed.When he played chess with Zhezhu, he said: "Oh, my queen was attacked by two of your knights. Isn't this move called 'Kaima's attack' in Japanese?"
In the second half of the chess game, Zhezhu fell into a hard fight.He was cornered by Rivamore's "Black Bishop".Rivamore had a smile on his face.For the sake of profit, the country is of no importance to Rivamore, and this is the reason why there is no business and no evil.For Zhezhu, the outcome of this chess game is only secondary.What happened afterwards made him finally understand the real reason why Zong Er was arrested.
