"Asshole! Who... drag him away? He can't do any work here, he's in the way..." the supervisor shouted loudly.
The injured person was dragged aside, and the people in the company let him wail and continued to move goods from the truck.
After a truckload of goods was unloaded, the coolies got on the truck and left. The supervisor looked around and closed the door.
At this time, the injured person was still lying in the corner of the alley, screaming to himself...but no one passing by paid attention to him. There were too many people like this every day in Shanghai, and it was difficult to see him.
At this time, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty ran over, and Ma Xiaoguang asked with concern: "Brother, how are you? Is your leg broken?"
The fat man rolled his eyes.
"Oh, please help me, take me to Youshou's place next door to have a look..." The wounded man gasped and begged.
After hailing a rickshaw, the two of them followed, and soon arrived at a bruises parlor called "Youshi Bruises" in a nearby neighborhood.
The doctor sitting in the hall is a middle-aged doctor in his forties, with a look of vicissitudes of life on his face.
This was a small orthopedic gym with a front door. The doctor had been wearing his clothes for who knows how long. The original color could not be seen clearly, and there was an indescribable smell.
This Mongolian doctor is more like a butcher of pigs than a doctor, but this is the reality at the bottom of the Shanghai stock market in the 1930s. White sheets and beautiful angels in white do not exist.
The doctor looked at the injured man's swollen and somewhat deformed feet.
After an inspection, he did not pretend like an ordinary doctor, but said directly: "The bone is slightly cracked, but the problem is not particularly big. I will straighten the bone for you, apply two patches of medicine, and then fix it with a splint. It's important." What’s more, you can’t move, you have to rest…”
The injured man heard this and said anxiously: "Doctor, is there anything I can do..."
The doctor seemed to know what he was going to say, his face changed, and he interrupted: "There is no way, you have injured your bones and you must rest. If you want to break your legs, just run around..."
Hearing this, the injured person turned pale and muttered to himself: "I can't be cured... I can't be cured..."
Seeing this situation, Ma Xiaoguang couldn't help but said to the doctor: "Doctor, doctors are like parents. Of course I won't let you work in vain. Treat! Please treat me well. The cost will be all mine." After saying this, he put two oceans in the doctor's eyes. on the table.
Seeing this, the doctor's face seemed to soften a little, but he only took a piece of ocean and said: "These are some herbs that only cost a few dollars, and the plywood is old wood. This disease is mainly caused by maintenance. I will not be greedy for God's merit... …”
Then he suddenly said to Ma Xiaoguang: "The main reason is that business is not good these days, everyone is on credit, and I don't have money to find supplies for you..."
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Ma Xiaoguang said cheerfully.
I heard the fat man comforting the injured and saying: "Brother, please relax. We are the brothers of Mr. Ding San of Taihu (Taihu water bandit). Don't worry about this small amount of money. You just need to rest in peace and recover. Everything is with our brothers." …”
The injured man was desperate and at a loss, he could only take one step at a time, so he had no choice but to rely on the fat man.
After sending the injured to a shanty town residence and leaving some money for recuperation, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty happened to inquire about the situation of Sanyo Trading Company.
"This is a Japanese trading house. They do everything, including cotton, silk, woolen cloth, flour... They also do opium. A few days ago, they vacated most of the warehouses. The stuff this time is different from before... …It’s not like opium, there seems to be something iron in it.”
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang understood a little and nodded secretly.
On the way back, he saw no one around. The fat man saw Ma Xiaoguang's expression was weird and couldn't help but ask: "I said Boss Ma, what do you think?"
When you go out, you can only call your boss, not your job, otherwise you will die quickly.
Ma Xiaoguang sighed: "Fat man, you said it would be great if the things in this warehouse belonged to us..."
The fat man almost fainted after hearing this. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Boss Ma, let's stop thinking about it, okay? How could it be ours? Steal it or rob it?"
The fat man sighed again, and said in a tone of hatred: "Even if we go and rob, first of all, how do you tell us how to get in? Of course we are agents, so there should be a way to get in, but what should we do after we get in? That's There’s a whole warehouse of stuff! How to get rid of it?”
For a long time, Ma Xiaoguang didn't say a word and seemed to be deep in thought.
The fat man added: "This is not jewelry or banknotes. I broke in, banged the door, grabbed it and ran away. I think those heavy boxes are all made of iron. I don't think there are more than ten trucks." It can't be done... Besides, do you have a truck? Even if you do, can you transport it that far? Even if you can transport it, where can you find ten drivers? Of course, you can find these ten drivers in Shanghai, but you have to do it no matter what. Will it be daytime tomorrow? Boss Ma, don’t think about it.”
"It's daytime tomorrow? I'll kill him tonight without leaving a hair on his head!" Ma Xiaoguang said harshly.
Then he let out a weird laugh and continued: "It's time to show your true skills..."
It's a dark night...
There were no stars, no moon, and no barking dogs.
As the saying goes, it is better to sleep in spring than in other seasons.
Early the next morning, the bleary-eyed warehouse guards of Sanyo Trading Company seemed to have slept much better than usual. When they came together, they found that their uniforms were gone. The saddest thing was that even the changes of clothes in the cabinet were gone!
I screamed in my heart, and ran out of the duty room crawling on the ground...
As soon as the door of the warehouse was opened, the two of them were petrified on the spot!
Overnight, the entire warehouse was evacuated!
And it was moved so cleanly that not even a single wooden or iron nail was left. Basically, only the two stunned guards and the load-bearing walls of the house were left.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I went to report to my boss, crying!
This is too bizarre. An entire warehouse of stuff is just gone!
Qi Zhaolin, the inspector of the French Concession Patrol Fang Hua, and Araki Kizo, the manager of Japan's Sanyo Trading Company, stood together in an empty warehouse.
"Mr. Araki, do you think this case could be caused by people below guarding theft..." Qi Zhaolin asked suspiciously after surveying the scene.
"Citizens of the Empire of Japan would never do such a shameful thing!" Araki said word by word with no expression on his face.
"That's strange. The door lock is good, the dog is good, and the people are good..." Qi Zhaolin muttered to himself.
"Baga, I don't care what method you use, you must find the thief as soon as possible, ah no, it's a robber." Araki roared.
"If you can't solve the case, we will let the Japanese patrol detective take over the case..." Araki was anxious, and continued to shout regardless of whether he had broken the rules of the concession.
"The concession is about law and order, and the patrol house will also ensure the safety of every taxpayer..." Inspector Qi said.
Continue to survey the scene.
After taking the cigarette handed to him by his subordinates and taking a puff, Detective Qi sighed: "It's so damn unlucky that I encountered such a case."
"The Japanese definitely didn't tell the truth. They said they lost some daily hardware and bench tools. What kind of thief would steal these things? They don't have enough gas money," Inspector Qi scolded.
Tianma Yangxing warehouse.
In the warehouse, the originally empty space had been filled. Fatty and Lao Li were as tired as two dead dogs, lying next to a pile of wooden boxes.
But both of them were laughing so hard...
Wu Qiuyi was registering at the side. Although she was not as unreserved as Fatty and Lao Li, she was also happy and her joy was beyond words.
There are boxes of 38 caps, Taisho 10-year-old grenades, and bullets, and several boxes full of explosives (but there are no detonators buried, so they won’t explode casually). In addition, There were also two boxes of Type 91 grenades that caused a psychological shadow on Ma Xiaoguang...
They are all army standard equipment. Except for the 92 infantry cannon and heavy machine gun, there is no problem in equipping a Japanese squadron or a reinforced company of the Chinese army. Although the Japanese equipment was actually very bad in the subsequent war, but It depends on who you compare with. Many elites in the national army do not have such good equipment.
In addition to arms, there are also a few light industrial products such as Japanese silk and British woolen products... These can all be converted into money.
Deputy Team Leader Ma looked at the boxes of supplies with some complacency, and couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, these little devils are so bad. You said it's not good for a trading house to do business well, so it has to stop doing its job and store so many weapons to do it." Well? Are they preparing to riot? "
Ma Xiaoguang actually had an idea in his mind, but he just didn't dare to say it out loud. If he said that, this was a long-planned plan by the little devils. They still have many such warehouses in Hongkou, and they are planning to distribute them to the overseas Chinese as soon as the war starts in two years. Japanese expatriates form the "Expatriate Volunteer Team". The Pearl of the East - Shanghai will become a bloody battlefield. Countless people will sacrifice their lives. The invaders will occupy this place. Maybe everyone will think that he is crazy because he wants to be promoted too much.
Lao Li was holding a 38-meter cap in his hand and was teaching the fat man how to use it. Hearing this, he couldn't help but interject and asked: "Sir Ma, how could you rob the entire Japanese warehouse at once?" ?”
How could Deputy Team Leader Ma let go of this opportunity to pretend to be a boy in front of his subordinates? He said proudly: "This is not robbery, this is just taking, at most it is stealing..."
The fat man smiled and said: "But you stole too much. You loaded a whole boat. Now, fat man, my waist is still sore. I stayed up all night..."
Ma Xiaoguang added: "Although we are taking money, we have to keep a low profile and not alert the patrols in the concession, nor let people from foreign companies notice. We are not just doing this kind of business in the Shanghai stock market, so we can't show up, even You can't even put makeup on it, and you can't make too much noise around it. The only way is to steal it! Steal it as quickly as possible."
"However, this is God's will. It happens that the foreign store is not far from Yujingpu. It is less than a mile even through alleys and alleys. The straight-line distance is actually less than 200 meters. Otherwise, the outcome is unpredictable..." Wu Qiuyi said.
"Yes, that's why we can use cars to transport boxes one by one. Although the number of trips is a bit more, cars are better than trucks. It takes more than three hours to work together..." Lao Li was still thinking to himself at the side.
"By the way, Lao Li, don't be too busy having fun. Let's do three things right away. Put the license plate on the car as soon as possible and return it to Feixing Motor Company. Secondly, dismantle the pulleys and ropes used for loading and unloading cargo. Burn what can be burned. Burn. Throw whatever you can’t lose into the Huangpu River, and burn the Japanese uniforms and other items together. Third, give the boss of the ship a sum of money to go to Jiangcheng as soon as possible and let him disappear for a while, or I will let him disappear forever..." Ma Xiaoguang He said harshly.
"Oh! I understand, why did you find this one instead of searching for so many Japanese companies? Why is our warehouse located here? It turns out it was premeditated! Aren't you afraid of the little devils investigating?" asked the fat man.
"I said, think about it with your head. This is the Chinese border. The patrol house in the French Concession and the daily arrests in the public concession can't control it. Besides, when the Japanese report the case, they certainly won't say it's arms, they can only say it's something else. , rather than showing it to us, it is better to show it to the Army, which is in charge of foreign companies, and publicly say that it has lost a warehouse of arms? What are you thinking, who are we, just kidding..." Deputy Team Leader Ma said proudly.
"So, we can only take, or steal, without making too much noise, and try not to use force, guns, or kill people," Li Shenming's brain became bright after following Deputy Team Leader Ma, and he added at the right time. .
Otherwise, if Deputy Team Leader Ma had to finish it all by himself, where would the commander's face be?
"But Fatty, the drug you made this time was really powerful, even the dog was stunned..." Deputy Team Leader Ma kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and still praised the new team members.
"Diaoyu, it's a joke." The fat man rarely talked back or boasted.
"By the way, when you let the ship boss leave, let him know that we are Taihu Ding San's people..."
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles...
On that day, many newspapers in Shanghai published a news article titled "Shocking Theft—Warehouse Materials Missing."
The storyteller in the teahouse came up with a new joke: "The story goes that the flying thief plucked onions from dry land, flew up to the ridge of the roof, flicked his hand, and threw three flying knives... The three guards just screamed and fell to the ground immediately. ! The flying thief used the method of shifting objects again, and with a "swish" sound, all the gold, silver and jewelry in the entire secret room disappeared..."
On the streets of Hongkou, all kinds of strange gossips are flying all over the place. Some say that the earth god showed up, while others say that a foreign bank assistant stole the boss's wife and the two of them guarded theft...
A more reliable theory is that this was done by Taihu water bandit Ding San, and the people behind it were the Shanghai Youth Gang...
But actually what happened is this...
The night before, Sanyo Trading Company.
The figure flashed, seeming to be busy with something. But there shouldn’t be anything special about it, the night watchmen were on patrol as usual.
The people at the Japanese company are really hardworking, and they are still loading goods at night. This time they are not stocking goods, but shipping. The Japanese are always sneaky in doing things, and it is common to work at night.
But today the Japanese were more friendly than usual, and Rendanhu even smiled at the night watchman. Maybe he made a lot of money from this business.
Not to mention that the people in other foreign companies are so happy. They actually use small cars to ship goods. They run back and forth so many times that they can’t even count...
But strangely enough, there seemed to be only two cars. They were going back and forth, but they didn't get very far...
The guards and dogs in the warehouse who were drugged by Fatty's exclusive secret recipe slept well, with smiles on their faces.
The Japanese used a truck, but our deputy team leader Ma didn't plan to move the truck. It made too much noise at night. So we rented two cars at Feixing Automobile Dealership and had their license plates removed. One of the most important reasons for choosing this warehouse is that it is only 200 meters away from the Yujingpu River. Although the car load is small, the two cars made more than 40 trips in three hours and 180 minutes without any problems. Loading and unloading did not require all manpower. He asked Lao Li to go to the dock to buy a lot of pulleys, hemp ropes, wooden bars, etc. for loading and unloading. He assembled two sets of boom pulleys by himself, which greatly improved the efficiency of loading and unloading...
Even with the help of machines, Deputy Team Leader Ma, Li Shenming, Fatty and the ship boss all worked hard and completed the cargo scanning task within the specified time. Later, seeing that there was still time left, Deputy Team Leader Ma moved the warehouse The other guys in the house had all pretended to be away. Anyway, they had cars and boats, so it was convenient. You don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when you’re not a householder. Everything is expensive in Shanghai, but banknotes are worthless.
The loading went smoothly, no need to mention the unloading...
Sure enough, technology is indeed the primary productive force.
The spies are not scary, but the spies are literate!
Deputy team leader Ma read the newspapers one by one with a narcissistic smile on his face. Lao Li looked at the arms happily as if they were treasures. Wu Qiuyi was writing seriously and was making the final statistical summary...
At this time, the fat man cleared his throat and asked Ma Xiaoguang: "Team leader, what are you going to do with all these Japanese arms?"
After hearing this, Deputy Team Leader Ma sat down on his stool as he came back to his senses.
