Chapter 1004 The Fall of Constantinople

"Miss Zhou." Datou was washing the car in the yard. When he saw Zhou Ru coming out, he asked politely, "Do you want to use the car?"

Not counting the bodyguard vehicles, the Cheng Mansion also has two private cars, one is Cheng Qianfan's personal car, and the other is for Bai Ruolan's use.

Bai Ruolan had already given instructions that Zhou Ru was qualified to use the family car.

Cheng Qianfan once frowned and said that the car was specially used for Bai Ruolan, so what if it was used by the cook? Bai Ruolan said that the last time she met Shangguanwu's wife, Shangguan's wife showed off that their nannies were always young when they went out. car:

 Their nanny takes a car, and my cook also uses a car!

 This reason is so strong that Cheng Qianfan has nothing to say.

 In this case, Zhou Ru is qualified to use a car.

 “No need.” Zhou Ru shook his head.

If Datou drove her back, got out of the car, picked up the wine and was about to come back, there would be no time to carry out the tasks assigned by the team leader in code.

 Whether Cheng Qianfan returns home at noon or whether he eats sea bass is a preset code in itself.

If Cheng Qianfan returns home on time and says on the phone that the fish can be killed and steamed, it means there is nothing abnormal, or that he has not grasped the new situation for the time being.

 He ​​said that he would not go home at noon, which means there is something wrong. At the same time, if he said that the bass does not need to be kept and steamed for Mrs. Cheng to eat at noon, it means that the situation is complicated and further inquiry is needed, which means that Zhou Ru does not need to take any action.

Saying that he would not be back at noon, and saying that he would save the seabass and come back to eat in the evening, meant that something was wrong. It also meant that an order was issued to Zhou Ru, because Zhou Ru no longer needed to steam the fish, so that she could have free time to leave the Cheng Mansion. .

Constantinople on the phone, spices, red wine, which row in the wine cabinet, etc., are all intelligence codes.

Go and get the wine, which will further give Zhou Ru a legitimate reason to leave Cheng Mansion.

There is no need to steam fish at noon and go to Father Jin Road to get wine. Both are reasons to leave Cheng Mansion. The subtext of the former is that there is an urgent need to leave immediately, while the latter is the most reasonable way to leave.

 …

"Datou, please drive Miss Zhou back." Bai Ruolan walked out with Xiao Zhizhi in her arms and ordered, and then told Zhou Ru, "I think you are a little tired. Take a good rest after you go back and take a nap before coming back." Bar."

 “Thank you, Mrs. Cheng.” Zhou Ru said quickly.

"Da Tou, come back after seeing Miss Zhou off. I need to use the car at noon." Bai Ruolan ordered Da Tou.

“Thank you for your hard work, Master Datou.” Zhou Ru said with a smile, “Go back to Father Jin Road.”

She was happy in her heart. Mrs. Cheng was a very kind person, and Bai Ruolan's concern was just what she wanted. She could seize the time to return to Father Jin Road without having to worry about other problems.

 “Okay.” Datou responded quickly.

 …

 Father King Road.

Zhou Ru got out of the car. Although she was anxious, she looked calm and took two steps. Then she came back and said to Datou, "Master Datou, wait a moment."

 “What’s wrong, Miss Zhou?” Datou asked.

 “Wait a moment.” Zhou Ru opened the door with the key and entered the room. He quickly brought back two things wrapped in brown paper, one large and one small.

"Miss Bao likes to eat fried fruits. I fried some and asked Master Datou to bring them back to Miss Bao." Zhou Ru said, "The big ones are for Miss Bao and the small ones are for the rain."

  Rainwater is Big Head’s sister.

“Thank you, Miss Zhou.” Datou thanked him happily, took the fried fruit and put it on the passenger seat, waved to Zhou Ru and drove away.

Zhou Ru stood at the door, watching Da Tou drive away, turned around and entered the house. After closing the door, the whole person started to be busy like an electric rabbit on clockwork.

 …

"sea bass."

"steak."

 “Medium rare.”

 “Constantinople.”

 “Herbaceous.”

 “Wine cabinet.”

 “Eat in the evening.”

 “Live fish.”

 “To kill now.”

 “Sober up.”

 “Bordeaux red wine.”

 Zhou Ru first wrote down the code words on paper, and then opened the book to decode them.

“The enemy has launched an arrest operation. The Shanghai area is in danger. It is exposed and a warning is issued.”

Zhou Ru frowned and thought as she stared at the translated information, exposed, who was exposed?

 The sentence "exposure" should be preceded by a person's name or a place name.

  No, it’s not a place name. Place names should be monitored, not tracked.

 What is missing here is a name.

 She felt something in her heart.

 Third row, second bottle of wine from the left.

This was originally the location of the bottle of wine in the wine cabinet mentioned by the team leader, but Zhou Ru knew that the bottle of Bordeaux red wine that Peter gave to the team leader had always been kept here, and in Zhou Ru's impression, Chengfu Wine The second wine compartment on the left side of the third row of the cabinet is always empty.

She had previously thought that the team leader said that the bottle of Bordeaux wine was in the empty wine compartment to create an excuse for her to come to the residence to get the wine.

 However, Zhou Ru now thinks about it. With the resourcefulness of the team leader, it should be more than that simple.

“Third row, second bottle of wine from the left!” Zhou Ru read softly.

 Intuition told her that the answer to that person's name was in it.

 Suddenly, Zhou Ru rushed directly into his bedroom.

 …

 There is a simple bookcase in her bedroom.

 The books placed above are all the books she usually likes to read, or that are used as cover-ups.

In addition, Cheng Qianfan sometimes comes here to eat small dishes and read books in his spare time. Therefore, there is a row of bookcases dedicated to Cheng Qianfan's books, and the team leader also specially asked that his books are not allowed to be used. Move around.

Although Zhou Ru also criticized the team leader for being stingy, it was just some books and periodicals, so they were not valuable. However, after Cheng Qianfan spoke, Zhou Ru really didn't dare to touch those books.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Ru subconsciously did not think of the books in the third row of the bookcase.

 Third row, second bottle from the left.

 Zhou Ru's eyes were fixed on a book called "A Brief History of the International Chronicle".

"A Brief History of the International Chronicle" is an internal publication written by the professors of the History Department of Fudan Public School. It is a relatively solid book.

 She picked up the book from the bookshelf and opened it to see that it was filled with important events titled the Christian era.

 This made Zhou Ru frown even more tightly, and she felt like she had nowhere to start.

 Her mind went through all the code words again.

There are two words that are not used. To be precise, there are two place names that are not used, namely Constantinople and Bordeaux.

 Constantinople.

 Bordeaux.

 What do these two place names represent?

 Zhou Ru scratched her head and ears.

Suddenly, Zhou Ru remembered the time when the team leader was eating Xiaozao here and asked her casually, "Zhou Ru, let me test your history."

“What events marked the end of the Middle Ages in the Christian era?”

 Zhou Ru shook her head and said she didn't know.

Cheng Qianfan knocked her little head and said, "Remember, it was 1453, the fall of Constantinople."

"1453, the fall of Constantinople!" Zhou Ru breathed quickly, and she immediately looked in the catalog, "1453, 1453, on page 100."

“Page 100, Thyme!” Zhou Ru was stunned. She instantly felt that she was so stupid. The team leader had already given so many hints, but it took her so long to react.

Zhou Ru quickly turned to page 100 and looked at it intently.
