Chapter 223: Where Does This Begin?
"In any case, you have to contact Qin Guang first. Even if he doesn't run away, you have to find out about his situation first. Lin Chuang thought about it and felt that he couldn't spare Qin Guang, so he said to Wu Liangce.
"Okay, let's inquire about Qin Guang's situation first." Wu Liangce felt that Lin Chuang's words were reasonable, and nodded.
"Du Yang, go to the garrison headquarters." Lin Chuang said to Du Yang.
Du Yang drove to the garrison headquarters in the east of the city.
"Stop."
About 300 meters away from the garrison headquarters, Lin Chuang ordered to stop.
"Don't move in the car." Lin Chuang pushed the door and got out of the car and said to Wu Liangce.
Lin Chuang got out of the car and walked slowly towards the garrison headquarters with a fan.
Chairman Han's other troops were basically deployed along the Jiaoji Railway and the Jinpu Railway, and the only troops stationed in Jinan were Wu Wen's pistol regiment.
Therefore, the station of the pistol regiment was at the Jinan Garrison Headquarters.
The "Gaosheng Hotel" couldn't go back, Qin Guang didn't say where his family lived, and Lin Chuang could only go to his place of work to find out the news.
There was a grocery store opposite the garrison headquarters, and Lin Chuang pretended to be shopping and walked in slowly.
"What do you want, sir?" When the shopkeeper saw that the business was coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Shopkeeper, take the box and three forts." Lin Chuangjian saw that there were cigarettes to sell, so he took out a dollar and handed it to the boss.
"Here, I'm looking for you." The shopkeeper took the money, took out a pack of turrets, and handed it to Lin Chuang along with a dime.
Lin Chuang was stunned: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell these cigarettes?" ”
"Nine cents a box."
"A box of nine cents? Boss, are you mistaken? Isn't it a box of five cents? ”
"Sir, you don't like to smoke. Five cents was the price two months ago, and the old yellow calendar was over. The shopkeeper said.
"Shopkeeper, I really don't buy cigarettes often, and when I buy cigarettes today, I also go to the opposite side to do something, don't fool me." Lin Chuangdao.
"This gentleman, this kind of cigarette in the Three Forts is very ordinary, and everyone who sells cigarettes sells it. You go and inquire, if I sell it too expensive, you will smash my store. The shopkeeper said.
Seeing that what the shopkeeper said didn't look like it was fake, Lin Chuang muttered: "But whenever the goods suddenly become expensive, it's either out of stock or money." Could it be that the smoke of the Three Forts is so lacking? ”
"Shopkeeper, how much is your rice?" Lin Chuang asked.
"A pound, sir, come on? This is the best Yellow River rice, very fragrant. The shopkeeper said.
"A pound a piece? One hundred yuan of legal currency in Nanjing can buy one hundred and fifty catties of rice, why is Jinan so expensive? Could it be that there is inflation in Jinan? Money is worthless? Lin Chuang said darkly.
In order to prove his judgment, Lin Chuang asked several more commodities, and sure enough, without exception, they were more than 50% more expensive than Nanjing.
"Chairman Han has no economic experts under him, the money is so rich, won't Shandong's economy collapse soon?" Lin Chuang swept the cigarette in his hand and said in his heart.
This problem is an economic problem, and Lin Chuang is not very concerned about it.
According to Lin Chuang's memory, the large-scale depreciation of fiat currency was after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, but he didn't expect that there were already signs of depreciation in Jinan now.
"Will there also be a depreciation of fiat currency in Nanjing? If you want to say that it shouldn't be, you have just signed a 'tung oil loan' agreement with the United States, and the fiat currency should be strong. Moreover, when I left Nanjing, no such thing had happened.
From this point of view, the phenomenon of fiat currency depreciation in Jinan should be a problem in Shandong's economy, which is an exception and has not yet affected Nanjing. ”
With this judgment, Lin Chuang no longer thought about this question, but turned his attention to the present.
"Shopkeeper, did you see anyone caught in just now?" Lin Chuang's chin was raised, pointing to the opposite side, and asked.
"It's the police department's business to arrest people, and the other side generally doesn't care about it." The shopkeeper replied.
"Didn't arrest anyone either?" Lin Chuang asked again.
"Sir, I don't know how to answer your question. Who has the audacity to grow hair and dare to come to the garrison headquarters to arrest people? The shopkeeper said.
When Lin Chuang heard this, he was relieved, and at least he couldn't see any signs of Qin Guang's accident from the bright side.
"Shopkeeper, busy!" Lin Chuang said hello to the shopkeeper, walked out of the grocery store, and walked towards the garrison headquarters.
Just crossed the road, Lin Chuang found a figure behind a willow tree on the side of the road, and his figure was a little familiar.
Lin Chuang quietly walked behind the man and found that it was the young man who was grabbing a seat on the train.
"Hehe, Yi Lianhua's ghost is not gone. Obviously, this is tracking Qin Guang here. Lin Chuang immediately guessed the reason why this young man appeared here.
"Again and again, and again, and again, and again. Lao Tzu has already let you go twice, but I didn't expect this woman to still not give up. Well, that's for you. ”
Thinking of this, Lin Chuang didn't hesitate anymore, walked behind the young man, and suddenly made a move and grabbed his neck.
"Huh?! You......! The young man was suddenly conspired against, and he was taken aback, and when he turned his head to see that it was Lin Chuang, the look in his eyes quickly turned happy.
"Mr. Lin, I was looking for you, save my senior brother." The young man pleaded.
"Boy, don't play tricks on me! I think you're getting impatient! Lin Chuang thought that the young man was acting, grabbed his neck, and dragged him back.
"Mr. Lin, don't be busy yet, you listen to me first." The young man struggled and refused to go with Lin Chuang.
"What is there to say?" Seeing that the young man refused to go with him, Lin Chuang was angry in his heart, added force to his hand, and said in a low voice.
If it weren't for the entrance of the garrison headquarters, Lin Chuang really wanted to take out the gun and shoot him.
"Ouch, Mr. Lin, I'm really looking for you. My senior brother was arrested by the police, and my senior sister said that we can only save my senior brother if we find you, but we didn't find you, and I happened to see the person with you, and my senior sister asked me to follow you over to see if I could see you. Isn't this just the time to see you, Mr. Lin, please save my senior brother. The young man whispered, enduring the pain.
"Really?" Lin Chuang saw that what he said didn't seem to be fake, so he asked.
"Really. Why am I lying to you? The young man said.
"Okay, tell me, what's your name? What's your brother's name? Lin Chuang took his hand away from his neck, grabbed his shoulder, and pushed him against the tree.
I don't know, I thought the two were good friends, and they chatted together.
"My name is Liu Ermeng, Yi Lianhua is my senior sister, and my senior brother's name is Li Honglin, the one who pretended to be a fortune teller on the train to tell my senior sister." Liu Ermeng replied.
"Oh, who were you who came to my room to steal that day?" Lin Chuang asked.
"That's my second senior brother, but he fell out with my senior sister and has left us." Liu Er said fiercely.
"Why did you fall out?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Because of you." Liu Ermeng replied.
"Because of me? Where does this begin? Lin Chuang asked strangely.
