In the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China,
November 6th.
It's a good time to buy property, treat illnesses, start a business, do business, and meet relatives and friends. The weather is so warm that even the Manchukuo police have lost their former ferocity and stand on the street with their sleeves folded, whispering to each other.
In the past few days, the "Anti-League" who had been killing people and setting fires everywhere stopped their activities, and the market gradually returned to calm. They could finally work normally without having to get up early and work late at night to find the platoon.
On this beautiful day, outside a shop facing the street in Qinjiagang, Harbin, a dozen guests stood on the side of the road covering their ears, and someone lit a long string of firecrackers.
"Crackling~"
Amidst the loud sound of firecrackers, five or six oily-faced young people gathered around and loudly congratulated Xu Enzeng, whose pseudonym was Xu Haer, and Ling Sanping, whose pseudonym was Ling Yunsheng.
"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Xu Da and Shopkeeper Ling Er. I wish you a prosperous business all over the world and a prosperous wealth reaching Sanjiang. We pooled our money to buy some good things that the Japanese used for their business."
As they spoke, they pointed to the colorful round objects placed at the door, with proud expressions on their faces, as if they had done something extraordinary.
"Niangxi..."
Xu Enzeng almost cursed when he looked at the pile of wreaths. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Sanping quickly tugged at the corner of his clothes. He had to hold back his anger and said through gritted teeth.
"Many... thank you very much. You must have two more drinks later. No one is allowed to leave without drinking. Shopkeeper Ling Er and I are risking our lives to accompany you today, and we must keep all your friends company."
He smiled politely and made up his mind to drive these bastards to death. After being the director of the department for so many years, he still had this strength despite his experience in officialdom.
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
"Is that necessary~"
Not knowing that they were about to face revenge, the playboys smiled happily and dragged the two of them to the sign. Under everyone's applause, the two pulled off the red cloth covering the sign.
A plaque with gold characters on a black background appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with the four characters "Risheng Liang Store" written on it. Some knowledgeable people recognized that this was the handwriting of a calligrapher from the city hall.
As for the relationship between working in the city hall and writing well, that can only be understood but cannot be explained. Anyway, the resources to polish the pen are indispensable, and this is a matter of course.
"Every day makes money...
"Congratulations..."
"Good luck opening the store..."
The guests all opened their mouths to congratulate each and every one of them with sinister looks, and none of them seemed to be good people. This was indeed the case. These people were either traitors, profiteers, or bullies.
Even the few female guests were all women. They were either concubines of puppet Manchukuo officials or the side wives of powerful organizational bosses. It could be called a gathering of scum.
By arresting them all, the police department's one-year KPI will be completed, but this is impossible. The world is so funny. Good people don't live long, but bad people can live in peace.
"Same joy, same joy..."
Being among a group of human scum, Xu Enzeng felt extremely adaptable, as if he had returned home, greeting his friends in every possible way, and letting out exaggerated laughter from time to time.
Ling Sanping stood aside quietly, surrounded by cute tigresses. Someone brought water, and someone handed out pills to prevent heatstroke in the subzero weather.
I don’t know what these women were thinking. Maybe this is love. The scoundrels watching the excitement around them cried and howled when they saw this, and almost called in the Puppet Manchukuo police patrolling around.
"By the way, have you heard?"
After the people present walked into the store and sat down, one of the well-informed people said half a sentence without starting to finish. Seeing that the others looked impatient, he continued with satisfaction.
"Last night, several large pharmacies opened by Japanese were robbed, and all the controlled drugs were thrown away. Those bastards from the Special Service Department went to investigate the scene early in the morning.
It is said that no traces were left behind. Oh, no, it cannot be said that there were no traces at all. The thief left a "Z" drawn with a dagger at every scene. Do you think it is strange or not? "
"Zorro!"
An elite scumbag who had been in the United States was shocked and blurted out a name. Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, he quickly showed off his study abroad career.
"You don't know. It's normal. You haven't been to the United States. Brother, I heard a legend when I was studying. It said that there was a thieves named Zorro in South America.
This man was originally the son of a landlord, but he was willing to act chivalrously, eliminate violence, rob the rich and give to the poor. He wore a black mask, a black hat, a black cloak, a black mount, a sword and a long whip. "
"thug!"
"robber!"
"I bother!"
Otherwise, the butt determines the head. As soon as everyone who was a little curious heard what the other party did, they immediately corrected their class position and expressed their disdain for this criminal behavior.
If there really is such a person doing chivalry and righteousness in Harbin, they will be the first to be unlucky. Who among you is not domineering, committing crimes and committing crimes, and is notorious.
No, we must urge the trash in the police department to catch someone as soon as possible. The sages of society were filled with indignation and cursed the thief who imitated Zorro bloody.
"That's right, that's right."
Xu Enzeng was also worried. In the past few months, his reputation had been quite prominent in the neighborhood. Of course, he chose to side with his friends. He agreed and then asked the whistleblower.
"Is your information accurate? I think the police are on the street well. If this kind of thing really happens and they are so free, don't be the one spreading rumors.
The National Police Agency and the Japanese are worried about not being able to find the person who burned the warehouse. Be careful that trouble comes from the mouth, and you will be used as a scapegoat by the people from the Secret Service. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you. "
"boom!"
The other party was not happy when he heard this. He slammed the table and overturned the water glass. He patted his chest in the face of questioning eyes and proudly told the inside story.
"You know what the heck, my uncle is a clerk in the general high-level section of the Secret Service Section. He said that because the case involves controlled drugs, it is inconvenient to conduct a public investigation and can only be verified secretly.
In addition, a dozen guards died at several scenes, all of whom were Japanese veterans. The case was serious and sensitive, so ordinary police were not allowed to take over, you know. "
Secret Service Section,
Common high-end stocks.
Xu Enzeng and Ling Sanping, who had successfully finished their conversation, met their eyes and showed the original expressions on their faces, but their minds were guessing which group of people had done it with such cruel methods.
With the personnel quality and tactical level of the Kwantung Army, it would be very difficult to kill so many former professional soldiers, even if they are not on active duty, without a trace.
Fortunately, the Secret Service has at least a few people who can do it, such as Gui Youguang. The secret service headquarters is in ruins. Counting police dogs, there is not a single operational master of this level.
I'm not embarrassed,
It’s other people who are embarrassed.
Director Xu knew this well, and chatted with the guests for a while with a smile, and then went to a restaurant in groups. If they wanted to ask about business, they had to wait until they sobered up.
At the dinner table, scumbags with different identities revealed a lot of information intentionally or unintentionally, involving all aspects of the Japanese and puppets, which made Xu Enzeng take a look at Ling Sanping with some meaning.
His meaning was very obvious, he just wanted to tell the other party that his way of making friends and obtaining information was correct, and this guy was still brooding over Zuo Zhong's veto.
idiot.
Complete idiot.
Ling Sanping commented silently in his heart, if there wasn't that large-scale grain store, do you think these people who are smarter than monkeys would pay attention to you, a small shopkeeper?
The point of disguising your identity is not whether you are willing to spend money. The point is whether you have an industry. Having an industry means you have a background, and the money you spend has a clear source.
The two of them can't keep pretending to be thieves embezzling money from Mo's employer. If they come into contact with a certain level of targets in the future, they will not accept people with questionable character or ethics.
good man,
Not everyone may like it.
bad guy,
Will definitely be hated by everyone.
During the banquet, the demons and monsters drank and drank. Ling Sanping occasionally took a sip from his cup, focusing on the content of the conversation between these people, and soon overheard a conversation.
"You know the Toad Pond Village in the southern suburbs? The Japanese have stationed a squadron there. With the recommendation of my father-in-law, the meat supply for these 193 people next year will be mine."
"Your father-in-law is the director of the Ministry of People's Livelihood of our Mite Island Country. Even the Kwantung Army will have to give him a bit of face if he comes forward. Brother, just wait to make a fortune. Come and touch one."
"Here, touch one."
The two guys, whose faces were red from drinking, swirled their tongues, clinked their glasses while holding each other's backs, and drank down the drink. The first man's eyes immediately straightened, and his forehead hit the table.
Boom...dong-dong...dong-dong-dong
Seeing the drunkard's head bouncing on the table like a rubber ball, Ling Sanping felt that an opportunity had come. He smiled and told the people at the table that he would send this person back to the grain store to rest first.
At this time, no one cared about what he said, including the female hero, who temporarily forgot about him and stepped on the bench with one foot to punch. Only the waiter helped the two of them open the door.
After hailing a taxi and returning to Risheng Liang Store, Ling Sanping helped the person onto the bed on the second floor of his residence, opened his eyelids with an indifferent expression, and then clenched his fists.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
The fist hit the drunkard's lower ribs one after another. The force was neither light nor heavy, and it was precisely between severe pain and injury. No one can pretend to be asleep in front of a doctor.
The unlucky guy was hammered three times without any change in his pupils. Ling Sanping let go of his hand with satisfaction, put on his gloves and took out a small notebook from the opponent's pocket.
He took a quick look at it under the sunlight. It recorded the situation of the Japanese squadron and the basic information of the chief officers. Doing business is like fighting a war, and you have to work hard at key positions.
Ling Sanping did not use pen and paper to record, but relied on memory to force the information into his mind. He calmly put the notebook back, took off his gloves and walked out as if nothing had happened.
After a long time, the drunkard lying there shivered. The cold wind outside the window gradually became stronger, and the sky gradually turned gray. The first snow in 1935 finally came.
Take a day off during the Dragon Boat Festival~~
