Alexandra shook her head: "Not too many, I only know a name, or more likely a code name." She closed her mouth, as if she had been brewing for a while, and then pronounced the name cautiously. "'Safrin'."
Chapter 45 Washing hands before meals
"Saflin." Murakami frowned, "A name I've never heard of before. Does any of you have an impression?"
The three Hand leaders shook their heads in unison.
You know, the Hand Association is a large organization that occupies the whole world, and these four people are the supreme leaders who lead the Hand Association.They are in different regions and different fields, each of them is a big figure who can shake the world. However, there is such a powerful existence in the world, even the four of them don't know it at all.
Mrs. Gao said before that she had heard of Sha Fulin's name, but in fact it was just a polite way, just like the ancient martial arts people liked to "look up" to each other no matter which side they met. .In fact, the Hand's understanding of this Shafulin is nothing more than rumors circulating among New York gangsters.And where did this rumor come from?It is said that it seems to come from Jin Bin
Such a character who can't see the end of the No. [-] dragon immediately attracted the attention of the leaders.They believe that the reason why they know nothing about each other must be because the other party is too powerful, as if most ordinary people have never heard of the existence of their hand.
As for the fact that "Saflin" was just fabricated out of thin air and didn't exist at all?
They didn't think about it for a second.
The story can be fabricated, but the death of Yoshioka Shin and Mrs. Gao could be a cover-up?
"On my side there is only one possible clue." Alexandra thought for a moment, and said, "Most of the gangsters seem to be inclined to think that Richard Lee, the newspaper owner of the Daily Planet, is related to this mysterious force, but I specifically I sent someone to investigate, but it seems that there is no definite evidence to prove it. Those gangsters are just taking it for granted, and there is no actual evidence."
This is the most interesting thing about rumors—it will continue to grow and upgrade itself as it spreads again and again.
In fact, the image of "Saflin" itself was born out of thin air because Jin Bing insisted that Richard had such a mysterious background. Secretly kept secret.So the vast number of "smart" people started to use their wisdom to make up their own brains, and gave this name an unfathomable background and extremely terrifying forces.
Developed to the current version, due to lack of evidence, the name "Saflin" has no direct connection with their Planetary Daily.
"A newspaper?" Sowanda expressed doubts. "What does such a big man have to do with a newspaper?"
"I don't know, but the possibility cannot be ruled out," Alexandra said.
Botu, a leader of the Hand with a beard, said in a deep voice: "In any case, we can't let go of any possibility. I can arrange the manpower now, let's arrest that Richard Lee and ask him."
"This cannot be reckless," Alexandra interrupted. "This may be the most serious situation that our Hand has ever encountered. We must proceed carefully. First we need to mobilize manpower, mobilize resources, if necessary." Even 'Black Sky' has to be activated. We must make the best preparations for war!"
As the chief culprit for making people panic in such a large world-class organization as the Hand, Richard knew nothing about it.Not only that, he is still leisurely preparing today's dinner in his kitchen.
After dinner was ready, he put the plate on the table and shouted loudly, "Hello, are you there? It's time to eat."
After a while, Jessica slowly moved out of her room.Her originally beautiful hair was a bit messy, and she was wearing a gray-black T-shirt that seemed to have not been washed for two days on her upper body, and the jeans on her lower body seemed a little crooked.
Richard couldn't help but wonder if all girls were so inattentive in their personal space or if Jessica was an exception.
Jessica went straight to the table and sat down.Before she had time to start, Richard tapped the mouth of the bowl loudly with chopsticks: "Wash your hands before eating."
Jessica glanced at him and murmured, "Washed."
Richard kept looking at her with a sneer.Hehe, do you believe this?
In the end, Jessica couldn't resist his staring eyes, and cursed in a low voice, she didn't know what, but in the end she obediently got up and went to wash her hands
In fact, Jessica herself didn't quite understand why she had to be so obedient.Just like Richard said no to drink before, she really hasn't had a drop of alcohol since then.
Is it because he is the boss and the landlord, and he is afraid that if he does not listen to him, his salary will be deducted and the rent will be raised?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not.Small things like washing hands before meals, in fact, even if she insisted not to listen to Richard, it would not be too boring to be too embarrassing.
Jessica returned to the table after washing her hands, and glanced at the fork and spoon on her place.She thought for a while, and seemed to have finally made up her mind.
"I don't want this." She pointed to the spoon on the table, "Bring me a pair of chopsticks too."
Richard raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Jessica hadn't mentioned the spoon and fork she had used for every meal since she broke a pair of chopsticks for the first time.Why did you suddenly have to challenge yourself again this time?
"Are you sure?" He felt that he needed to confirm again.
"Just don't talk nonsense to me."
Jessica snorted.Although she would never admit it to Richard, she actually went to Youtube to search for video tutorials on how to use chopsticks in private after that, and practiced hard for a while.That gaffe was really embarrassing, it was a stain on her life as Jessica Jones, this time she will definitely wash away the shame of the past
"Ok."
Since she insisted so, Richard let her go.He got up and took away the spoon and fork, and replaced her with a pair of wooden chopsticks like his own.
Don't mention it, Jessica really looks good when she uses chopsticks this time.Although the movement is still a little stiff, but the posture is still standard.
Richard said unexpectedly: "Huh? You've made a lot of progress, have you practiced yourself?"
Jessica was a little proud: "No, I just thought about it casually, and it doesn't seem too difficult."
She is lying, in fact, she secretly takes two pencils as chopsticks in the office these days, every time there is no one around, she secretly practices
Sure enough, hard work pays off.
Jessica was about to taste the first delicious bite with chopsticks, but she paused when she saw today's recipe, her smile froze on her face.
Today's recipe has a mapo tofu.
(Thanks to book friend 20190221200950770, Gu Yuexing's fat man, I am so confused now, this is a talented person but really handsome, special Kui, Liang Chen is not the reward of Ye! Thank you everyone!)
Chapter 46 Are vampires real?
Joy, no, it's mapo tofu, this kind of thing is simply the natural enemy of chopsticks beginners.When Richard prepared today's menu in advance, he never expected that Jessica would suddenly decide to go into battle and challenge the use of chopsticks again, otherwise he would definitely not come up with such a difficult dish.
It felt like Jessica practiced hard for several weeks and finally left Novice Village full of confidence, but bumped into a full-level boss at the entrance of the village. Even Richard thought it was a bit too cruel.
Jessica herself is a girl who refuses to admit defeat. Since everyone said that she was going to challenge, it is impossible to run away before the start, right?So she took a deep breath, stretched out her chopsticks cautiously and slowly, tried to pick up a piece of tofu, and cut the tofu in half as expected.
