Xu Mei cried for a while and was not in the mood to go to work. She asked for leave from her supervisor and followed Liu Changchuan home. She missed her sister-in-law and even more, the little bell, her brother's only flesh and blood.
"woo woo woo woo..."
After Liu Lan saw Xu Mei, they hugged each other and cried, and then Xu Mei hugged Xiao Ling and kissed several times. Liu Changchuan watched for a while and went into the room to exercise. He wanted to leave room for the two of them to talk privately.
I really didn’t expect that Xu Mei, who had been away from home for many years, would join the Red Party. This girl is really capable. Liu Changchuan was doing push-ups and thinking about Xu Mei who was hiding her identity in the cotton factory.
"Dachuan, come out quickly and go buy groceries."
Liu Changchuan opened the door and looked at Xu Mei, whose eyes were swollen from crying. He nodded, picked up the basket Liu Lan gave him and walked out. He passed by Lao Zhang's grocery store and walked in.
"Here's a pack of cigarettes."
"Xu Haifeng died in the hospital. Did the gunman escape?" Liu Changchuan asked in a low voice.
He was still very concerned about the gunman who took the risk to assassinate him. He killed him with one shot. He was definitely a sniper master.
"Don't worry, there are dedicated response staff above and they have returned to the French Concession."
"That's good. If nothing happens, I'll leave." Liu Changchuan raised his feet and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Lao Zhang quickly stopped Liu Changchuan in a low voice.
"Is something wrong?"
"Well, Shangfeng asked you to monitor a person named Huang Gengshu. This person is very important and needs to be monitored secretly. He will fly over from Hong Kong Island in the future and will stay in Room 205 of the Bell Hotel in the Public Concession."
Going to the public concession, Liu Changchuan frowned. He was reluctant to go to the concession area, not because he was afraid of trouble, but because his current position was the translator of the police department's special forces, and always going to the concession area made people suspicious.
"This task was not given by the station, but directly sent by the headquarters to our team, and we were warned not to tell anyone." Lao Zhang reminded.
The headquarters is worried about the Shanghai station leaking secrets. Liu Changchuan suddenly thought, this person named Huang Gengshu must be a big shot, otherwise the headquarters would not be so worried, so why should they pay attention to their group?
In fact, what Liu Changchuan didn't know was that since Yu Huai returned to the headquarters, he had worked in the Military Command Secretary's Office, and his superior was the director Mao Cheng.
And because of his experience working at the Shanghai Station and the discovery of barbed wire, he took over many intelligence agents who were out in the field, including a senior intelligence agent hiding in Jinling.
This time, Huang Gengshu, a senior official of the Kuomintang Party, went to Shanghai for an inspection. Military commander Dai Boss was ordered by the president to keep an eye on Huang Gengshu, mainly because he was afraid that Huang Gengshu would defect to the enemy when the situation was not good.
Boss Dai’s original intention was to have the Juntong Shanghai Station follow him. Later, Yu Huai suggested that Mao Cheng ask Liu Changchuan to follow him. Yu Huai introduced how Liu Changchuan used to keep an eye on Huang Song at the Shanghai Security Command and how he completed one task after another according to his instructions. .
Therefore, at Mao Cheng's suggestion, Boss Dai agreed to let the barbed wire team monitor Huang Gengshu, and also warned Liu Changchuan's team not to spread the news.
...
Liu Changchuan felt troubled when he left Lao Zhang's grocery store. The public concession was not as good as the French Concession. Although the Public Security Bureau of the French Concession openly cooperated with the Japanese in arresting anti-Japanese personnel, in fact it was still a bit uncooperative in private. If nothing else, there were several French Concession houses. Shancheng Bank is constantly sending funds to the rear, while France turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it, not to mention the tariffs in the concession customs area. The Ministry of Finance of Shancheng still has the final say, so you can say it is outrageous.
But the Public Settlement is different. The original name of the Public Settlement is the Anglo-American Settlement, which refers to the Americans and the British. These two countries knelt down when the Japanese army occupied Shanghai. Today's Public Settlement has fully moved towards Japan, even the public concessions. The deputy police chief of the Concession Patrol Room is the former head of the Japanese Concession Police Section. He is a real Japanese, which is simply outrageous.
Alas, we must take a long-term view. After Liu Changchuan bought vegetables at the vegetable market, he was thinking about finding a reason to follow Huang Gengshu in the public settlement. This was not a matter of following him for a few hours, nor a day or two. He needed to live in the public settlement to observe and monitor at close range.
On his way back, Liu Changchuan saw the signboard of Dr. Huang's Clinic. He had an idea. Doctor Huang said he bought sulfa in the public concession last time. How about he also engage in sulfa business? Then he can run in both the Chinese and public concessions. You can also stay in the concession area for a few days, um, that's a good idea.
The family had a happy meal that night. Although Xu Mei was still in pain after losing her brother, she was still very happy to see her sister-in-law and niece Xiao Lingdang. Seeing that her sister-in-law and niece Xiao Lingdang had no worries about eating and drinking, she felt comfortable living a comfortable life. not worried.
The next day, Liu Changchuan went to Huang Zhixin's clinic after breakfast. He planned to discuss with Huang Zhixin whether he could live in the public concession for a few days as an opportunity to start a sulfonamide business.
"Brother Liu is here. After the two got acquainted, Huang Zhixin stopped calling him Mr. Liu. It is obvious that they have a good relationship."
"Well, Brother Huang, do I have something to do with you?"
"What's the matter?" Huang Zhixin made a cup of coffee for Liu Changchuan and brought it over.
Liu Changchuan took a sip and said, "That's right, I want to do some business. You were caught last time for reselling sulfonamides. I thought the profit from that stuff was quite high, so I wanted to do it too."
"Well, I have the connections. I don't have much money, but I can't get much goods, but it's no problem to make a few hundred dollars. If I have the capital and the supply of goods, it's a trivial matter to make a few thousand dollars. But are you sure you can deal with the police department and the Japanese? "Huang Zhixin also wants to continue doing the sulfonamide business, but now he is too scared to do it.
"If you really can't, give them some money." Liu Changchuan glanced nonchalantly. Whether it's Yu Dadao or the gendarmerie, as long as you give money to sell sulfa to Shanghai, no one will care about you.
Also, Huang Zhixin agreed very much with what Liu Changchuan said. His brother-in-law could spend money to save him by printing anti-Japanese leaflets. Selling some sulfa to the common people was really not a big deal.
"Doctor Huang, do you think this will work? You can introduce me to your network. If I can get the goods, I will sell them in your clinic and you will get 20% of the profit." Liu Changchuan patted his chest and promised that he had already decided. Well, when the time comes, just give the Military Police Otani Shohei 20% of the profit to settle the matter.
Huang Zhixin was moved, 20% was a lot. Liu Changchuan would have spent 30%, or even more, to bring in the goods just to send the police. Why not do it when he could earn 20% just by selling the goods.
After Liu Changchuan got Li Sheng Yang Wilson's phone number from Huang Zhixin, he was going to take a tour of the public concession. Tomorrow he would be monitoring Huang Gengshu nearby.
Ah, Liu Changchuan suddenly remembered something. He had no money, but it was not that he had no money. He had saved at least 400 oceans and 300 French currency at home, but this amount of money might not be enough to start a sulfa business. Besides, the 400 oceans But my sister Liu Lan’s lifeblood cannot be spent.
Doctor Huang calculated it for him. If he bought a thousand oceans of goods, he could earn three times the net profit by retailing. At that time, the layman Liu Changchuan was shocked. It was so profitable.
