Chapter 22: Adventure and Temptation

Regarding the short-clothed young man and the middle-aged man wearing a top hat who followed Yuan Zuocai at the same time, Lin Chuang believes that one of them must be Japanese, and the other is very likely to be an underground party.

Obviously, in the current China, apart from the government of the Republic of China, that is, Japanese spies and underground parties are operating in secret, there are no other forces.

And the purpose of both parties is that huge amount of money.

Lin Chuang was not surprised at all that the underground party could obtain the 200,000 fiat currency that Yuan Zuocai had defrauded. Because he knows that the strength of the underground party on the hidden front is very powerful, the ability to move is very strong, and the experience is very rich.

This is due to the fact that they have been in a weak position in the long and brutal struggle. It is this weak position that forces them to continue to explore and grow.

Just like the caption of a picture of a bullet-riddled plane in later generations: If you don't experience a rain of bullets, how can you have rough skin and thick meat?

So, what is the identity of this young man in short clothes?

In Lin Chuang's view, there are no more than three possibilities.

One is that he is neither an underground party nor a Japanese, and his appearance behind Yuan Zuocai is purely coincidental.

The second is the Japanese;

The third possibility is the underground party.

For the first possibility, Lin Chuang believes that it can basically be ruled out.

Those who engage in intelligence work do not believe in coincidences. Anything that seems to be coincidental is a high probability of being inevitable.

So is he an underground party?

It's easy to prove it. Lin Chuang has two ways to prove it.

The first, the simplest, is to find a reason to arrest him, beat him, torture him to the point of extreme mental exhaustion, and use a trick - psychohallucination, let him say it himself.

The second one is also simple, and you can try it with the Japanese connector code. If they don't react, then there is a high probability that they are an underground party, and if they are stunned for a moment, it means that they are Japanese.

Both methods are extremely simple, but the difference is that they also face many dangers.

For example, if the youth is an underground party, what will happen after learning their true identity? If you put it, how can you put it so as not to attract the attention of others? Especially now that Chen Huaijun is stepping in, it is not easy to hide from him.

For example, if the youth are an underground party, it is best, and you only need to remind them not to show up again, and you can eliminate their danger invisibly. And what if they are Japanese? Isn't it bare the horse's feet?

Of course, Lin Chuang didn't have to rush to verify their identities, but if they were really the organization they were looking for, it would be too dangerous for them.

Because Chen Huaijun will not let them go, he can't catch the Japanese, and it is also a great credit to catch a few communists.

Unable to think of any other good way, Lin Chuang decided to take a look first, if he couldn't do it, he would take a risk, and he couldn't watch the organization suffer.

He walked to a corner, opened the safety of the pistol, inserted it into his waist, and then Shi Shiran entered the "Yonghui Warehouse".

There were only two people in the warehouse, a middle-aged man in a robe, wearing glasses, who was on the counter and keeping accounts. And the young man who Lin Chuang is tracking is sorting out the goods.

As soon as Lin Chuang took a look, he saw that there was something wrong with this warehouse.

The so-called warehouse is actually a commodity distribution center, mostly concentrated in land and water terminals. The way the warehouse operates is to buy large quantities of goods from cargo ships or trucks, store them, and then sell them to retailers in the city. This way of doing business is similar to that of wholesalers in later generations. Therefore, the goods in the warehouse are generally more complex and numerous.

In addition to this, the warehouse also has a storage function and a lodging function, and there will always be a warehouse and guest rooms behind the store.

And this warehouse is in the wrong location. Although it is not far from Zhongshan Gate, it is also a convenient place for transportation, but after all, it is too far from the wharf and does not meet the basic requirements of the warehouse.

However, if you are a secondary wholesaler, this position can still be explained.

What is even more suspicious is that the items in the warehouse are relatively simple, there are three kinds of coal stoves, diesel stoves and kerosene lamps, and the number does not seem to be very large.

Lin Chuang entered the store, and the shopkeeper and the young man were busy, so they didn't see him, so they had to say hello first.

"Shopkeeper, busy?"

"Yo, sir, welcome to our store." The shopkeeper looked up and saw a stranger enter the store, and hurriedly came out of the counter to greet him.

"What would you like to buy, sir? Do you want to buy in bulk or in vacuum? ”

"I want to approve the coal stove. Is this all in stock now? Lin Chuang said nonsense casually.

His purpose was to take a look at the storeroom and guest rooms behind the store.

"Alas, Mr. Don't hide it, the store has difficulty in capital turnover, and there is only so much inventory, if Mr. wants to buy a large amount, the store does not have this ability for the time being." The shopkeeper replied with a sigh.

This sentence suddenly dispelled Lin Chuang's idea of going to the back to have a look.

"Shopkeeper, how did you build the warehouse in this location? It's too far from the docks, isn't it? Lin Chuang asked.

"Alas, Mr. doesn't know, the small shop is small, and the scene in Nanjing City can't be opened, so I can only take the goods from others, and mainly sell them to the counties and countryside below." The shopkeeper replied.

Lin Chuang nodded, this explanation is reasonable.

Lin Chuang noticed that during his conversation with the shopkeeper, the young man dressed as a guy cast a vigilant glance at him from time to time.

Lin Chuang couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that he saw me just now?" It's impossible, it's so far away, and I haven't seen him turn back, it's impossible to find me. So what is the reason? Whatever the reason, there must be something wrong with this warehouse. It doesn't feel like a serious seller, but rather a transit station built specifically for storing and receiving customers. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Chuang was basically true, this was not opened by the Japanese.

Because the Japanese specialize in spying on intelligence, isn't it superfluous to get a warehouse and guest rooms?

Then, their identities are almost on the verge of being revealed.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuang decided to take a risk and try again.

"Okay, I'll buy two coal stoves and two kerosene lamps first, how much?"

"Ten bucks in total."

"You deliver it, right? I came out alone, but it was not easy to take it. ”

"Of course, but if the gentleman lives far away, please give him a few foot money."

"I live in Shuanglong Lane, Baotai Street."

"Yo, that's not close." When the shopkeeper heard this address, his eyes flashed.

"How about adding a dollar to the foot power money?"

"Then thank you, sir. What is your surname? ”

"Your surname is Chen, your name is Chen Tianyi, you will know as soon as you inquire when you get there."

Lin Chuang bit the three words "Chen Tianyi" very clearly, his eyes stared at the shopkeeper for a moment, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand to his waist and quietly held the ...... of the gun.
