"How much?"
As soon as he heard the word "money", Lao Bacon's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qiu Xingchang felt that he was losing all his face.
Who is this?
Is this still his relative? Recruiting people into the military system yourself?
Serving the country, where does the term "money" come from?
Shame on you!
However, Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "If you catch a traitor, you will get five yuan, and if you catch a traitor, you will get ten yuan."
The price is not low anymore.
The problem is, Lao Bancou actually thought about it seriously: "Traitor, it's almost the same, but Japan, the price is lower."
"Pan Dashuang!" Qiu Xingchang couldn't bear it anymore: "Who are you? You are a military command agent and an intelligence officer. It is your duty to catch Japanese special agents!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." To his surprise, Meng Shaoyuan was not angry at all: "Listen to him. Old bacon, you name the price."
"You know the value of a Japanese special agent better than I do." Lao Barou said very calmly: "If you catch one, you can involve a group of people, and maybe you can crack a Japanese special agency. Especially when the government moves the capital to Chongqing, that little Japan smells like shit like flies..."
"Pan Dashang, watch your words." Meng Shaoyuan's face darkened.
The old bacon quickly slapped himself: "Damn it, damn it, it should be said that it is like a hungry wolf smelling blood. Not to mention anything else, there must be Japanese traitors gathering in Chongqing now, and they all want to spy on information. , to assassinate important people, if the commander can capture and kill a group of people at this time, it will be a great achievement."
A smile flashed across Meng Shaoyuan's lips: "Tell me, how much do you want?"
"A little traitor is not worth anything. He needs five ocean dollars. A traitor of any size, at least thirty dollars." Old Bacon made some calculations there: "Japanese specials cannot be worth less than a hundred ocean dollars."
"That's unreasonable." Qiu Xingchang sneered: "Pan Dashuang, you are like a lion. You can double it ten times. Are you crazy about money?"
Old Bacon just pretended not to hear: "If you catch the head and head, the price will be more than this."
"make a deal!"
Meng Shaoyuan didn't have time to think: "Every one counts, all will be settled now, and there will be no default."
But I didn't expect that the old bacon started to bargain: "Sir, I'm talking about Dayang. You can't give me French currency. I look at it like this, and French currency will continue to fall."
"Pan Dashuang." Qiu Xingchang felt extremely embarrassed: "French currency is the only legal tender of the National Government. You are making false claims about the national currency. It is not unfair to arrest you now! Chief Meng, I am not strict in discipline, it is me..."
"It's done, it's done." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him: "They all show up in the ocean. If it doesn't work, I'll give you a small yellow croaker."
The old bacon smiled happily.
Qiu Xingchang was puzzled, what happened to Chief Meng? An old bastard, all he talks about is money. Why is Chief Meng so tolerant to him?
Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "Old bacon, I have agreed to all your requests, but I am new here, so you have to give me a meeting gift no matter what, right?"
Old bacon was a man of spirit, and he immediately understood when he heard it: "Sir Meng, you know how to do business. If you do business, you will definitely be better than our Qiu family."
Qiu Xingchang curled his lips disdainfully.
What is "our Qiu family"? You are just a distant relative of the Qiu family.
"Let's do this." Old Bacon pondered for a moment: "It's a greeting gift. You send me a person, and I'll go to the street and catch one for you now. Whether it's a traitor or a Japanese special, I can't say for sure. If you catch him Who counts."
Qiu Xingchang was dumbfounded, were there any traitors caught in Rite?
"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan looked very satisfied: "Qiu Xingchang, call a few people, and I will lead the team myself. By the way, the man named Tang Zhang, take him with you."
"yes!"
Qiu Xingchang murmured in his heart.
What's going on, there are so many passionate young agents who don't care, but Chief Meng still wants to trust this old bastard, Old Bacon?
The problem is, this is an order from Chief Meng.
…
Chongqing people like to drink tea and have their own unique tea culture.
The root cause is that Chongqing people are generous, enthusiastic, and humorous. Men, women, and children alike love to chat, and they can talk endlessly. Teahouse is the best place for people to gather and chat.
"Putting up the Dragon Gate Formation" is the favorite thing of Chongqing people. Sitting in a teahouse, with a cup of tea in hand, free and unrestrained, the sea and sky are vast, the world is north and south, the three emperors in the past and the five emperors in the past, through the ages, cats and mice, are all the topics of conversation.
Here you can hear anecdotes and gossip that you cannot hear at home and that are not found in newspapers.
Chongqing teahouses are different from teahouses and tea gardens in other cities.
The high tables and benches and large porcelain teapots and bowls in northern teahouses make it difficult for tea drinkers to sit for long periods of time. Chongqing people believe that making tea in a large pot is not durable, and it especially loses the fun of drinking tea.
In traditional Chongqing teahouses, there is a small tea table in front of the bamboo recliner, where you can lie down or sit on it. You will not feel tired after sitting for a long time. It is convenient to drink tea and put tea on it. A "covered bowl", slowly sipping tea, you can sit there for as long as you want, and the owner will not issue an eviction order.
It was such a traditional Chongqing teahouse that Lao Barou took Meng Shaoyuan and the others to.
It was raining lightly outside, so everyone went indoors. He asked several agents to sit across from them and monitor them. He took Meng Shaoyuan, Qiu Xingchang and Tang Zhang into the teahouse and asked for a "covered bowl".
Meng Shaoyuan didn't ask why Qiu Xingchang brought them here. He just said: "Old bacon, show some skills and teach these young people."
"Oh, sir." Old Bacon said in a low voice, "What do I have to do?"
"Don't be modest, I know you are capable." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "As soon as you come in, your eyes are rolling around. I'm afraid you've looked at all the guests here, right? Tell me, I'll give you the money and you'll be treated as such. Your reward for teaching your skills.”
"That's it." When he heard that he was rich, Old Bacon immediately became energetic: "The man on the left wearing a long gown is a foreigner. You can tell from his accent that he is in business, and he is either in the tobacco or smuggling business. "
"Why?" Qiu Xingchang suddenly became curious.
"It's simple." Old Bacon disagreed: "Look, the position he is sitting in is very far away, in the corner. Why? It is convenient for people to not hear when talking. Have you seen the suitcase in his hand? From the moment he came in, he placed his right hand against the corner of the wall, pressed it tightly with his right leg, and glanced at it from time to time.
As soon as he came in, he immediately opened the window. It was cloudy today with light rain. Why did he come in and open the window? It's convenient to be able to escape when something goes wrong, otherwise who would open the window on a rainy day when they're full? The most important thing, I remember, look at the shoes he is wearing, they are specially thickened, soft and elastic, and they are called "a gust of wind" in the world. "
"Speak clearly." Meng Shaoyuan also became curious.
"Those who work in the world are ready to run away anytime and anywhere. These shoes can make you run fast. Moreover, the soles have been processed so they won't slip on rainy days. If you have fast feet, wearing these shoes will make you run faster." I couldn't catch up, so I called it 'a gust of wind'."
This knowledge is all the experience gained by Lao Barou after being a policeman for so many years. Qiu Xingchang and the others would never be able to learn it in the training class.
"You all should learn from it carefully." Meng Shaoyuan also gave a special instruction: "Do you know why Old Bacon brought us to the teahouse?"
"I know." Qiu Xingchang's reaction was relatively quick: "Chongqing people like to drink tea. Dragons and snakes are mixed in the teahouse, so it is relatively hidden to make small moves."
"That's the truth." Old Bacon's voice was even lower: "Sir, don't you want a meeting gift? I originally wanted to give you a traitor, sitting on the west side of the second floor. His name is Fan Yinhua. On the surface, he is a businessman, but in fact He secretly flirted with the Japanese. Before the government moved the capital, this kid often traveled to Chengdu and had very close contacts with a Japanese trading company in Chengdu.
I have been keeping an eye on this guy for a long time. I guess he wants to help the Japanese trading company in Chengdu establish a contact point in Chongqing. The chief wants someone, so I thought it would be considered a meritorious service to hand him over to you. Hey, but who would have thought that we would be lucky today? We don’t want this small fish like Fan Yinhua. There is a big fish, Xiao Qiu, Tang Zhang, don’t look at it, just think that we are setting up a dragon gate formation. "
Who is he talking about? Qiu Xingchang and Tang Zhang didn't find any "big fish" either?
"At the table to the north, there is a man in a suit." Old Bacon said in a low voice: "He is facing the door, keeping his eyes on who is waiting there. From the time we came in until now, his body has been sitting upright, normal. Who among the tea guests would do this? He didn’t even drink a sip of the tea in the tureen. Xiaoqiu, what did you see next to the tureen in front of him? "
Meng Shao originally had his back to the man, but Qiu Xingchang was facing him. He picked up the tureen and took a sip. His eyes naturally glanced at him:
"There was a box of cigarettes, a box of matches on top of the cigarettes, and a banknote underneath."
"That's the joint code." Old Bacon sneered: "You still didn't look carefully. There are two cigarettes half exposed in the cigarette box. He has never touched this box of cigarettes. Every time he smokes, he smokes from his pocket. He took out a new cigarette and smoked it. Hey, if he wasn't a Japanese, I would twist off his head and use it as a chamber pot for you."
"Then we can't be so sure that he is Rite?" Tang Zhang was a little unconvinced: "What if he is one of us?"
"Boy, you are still too young." The old bacon seemed particularly conceited: "The tea waiter came to give him more tea twice. He made the same move every time. He stretched out his right hand to express no need, and then his body naturally leaned forward. The action of bowing the head slightly is a habit that has become natural. We are used to bowing every day. Our people are all used to treating themselves as uncles..."
When I mentioned this, I realized that I had let it slip. Isn't Commander Meng in front of me also a military commander?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and didn't take it seriously at all: "Remember what the old bacon said carefully. Don't rush to take action. Wait until the people who are interacting with him come in, and then arrest them."
Qiu Xingchang and Tang Zhang were both doubtful and doubtful. Is what the old bacon said so mysterious true?
If you make a mistake, you will make a fool of yourself!
