Hearing that Gu Dabiao was willing to help, Lin Jiangbei naturally couldn't ask for it. At that moment, he and Zhang Shixue took Gu Dabiao and stopped a taxi outside, and rushed to Hongkou Park at the intersection of North Sichuan Road and Jiangwan Road.

After arriving at the gate of Hongkou Park, the three of them got out of the taxi, led by Gu Dabiao in front, and came to the gate of the Shanghai Pigeon Club set up in Hongkou Park.

Gu Dabiao was about to lead them in, but Lin Jiangbei stopped, attracted by a red list on the wall outside the pigeon club.

Gu Dabiao saw Lin Jiangbei looking at the red list on the wall, so he hurriedly stopped and introduced to Lin Jiangbei: "Boss Cheng, this is the results of the Suzhou sprint race held a few days before the Shanghai Pigeon Club. The old drunkard's pigeon won second place in this race. ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded, pointed to the name of the first place on the red list, and asked Gu Dabiao: "Xiao Gu, are you familiar with this person?" ”

"You mean Mr. West Bryan?" Gu Dabiao stretched his neck to look at it, and then said, "I am also familiar with his situation. I heard that he joined the Shanghai Pigeon Club at the beginning of its establishment, and he is the oldest qualified member of the Shanghai Pigeon Club. It's just that his pigeons didn't do very well before. It was from last year that he didn't know where he got a pigeon, and then he started to win a few top prizes in various races. We have several pigeon masters in Shanghai, Guo Ziyi, Li Meiling, Zhou Changshan and Ouyang Huimin, all of whom regard him as a strong competitor! ”

"Since you are familiar with him," Lin Jiangbei touched his chin and asked again, "So what nationality is this West Brian?" Do you know what it does? ”

Gu Dabiao stretched out his hand and scratched his head, not knowing why Lin Jiangbei suddenly began to care about West Bryan's news. Didn't you say okay, come here to find the old drunkard? Pressing the wonder in his heart, he replied, "Mr. West Bryan is an American. As for what he does, I've heard from people in the pigeon club that he is a translator in the U.S. Marine Corps, right? ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded secretly.

The American, who is also a translator in the U.S. Marine Corps, should be the same person as the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai who was originally a translator at the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai and later transferred to the U.S. Marine Corps Fourth Expeditionary Force Command as a translator.

And Lin Jiangbei still clearly remembers that Robert George also said when he introduced West Bryan to him that when his wife gave birth, West Bryan once gave him two pigeons to nourish his wife's body.

According to Gu Dabiao's introduction, West Bryan was the earliest member of the Shanghai Pigeon Club, and he should have raised a lot of pigeons at that time, so it is not surprising to give Robert George a few eliminated pigeons for his wife to nourish her body.

"Do you know how West Bryan is doing with the old drunkard?" Lin Jiangbei asked Gu Dabiao again.

"I don't know much about their relationship in private. But when there was a public event in the pigeon club, I saw that the two of them were still quite familiar. Gu Dabiao replied.

As he was talking, he saw the door of the pigeon club be pushed open from the inside, and a large white man in his early fifties with a large rosacea came out of it.

"Boss Cheng," Gu Dabiao hurriedly poked Lin Jiangbei's arm lightly, and whispered: "He's an old drunkard, aren't you looking for him?" ”

He's an old drunkard?

Lin Jiangbei was about to hesitate, but he saw a breeze blowing from the direction of the old drunkard, and Lin Jiangbei smelled a strange fragrance on the tip of his nose.

Lin Jiangbei's face suddenly changed. Because with his superhuman sense of smell, Lin Jiangbei immediately recognized that the main body of this strange fragrance was composed of Cologne perfume commonly used by Western men, and it was also mixed with a very light and very light smell of dried bonito smoked from longan wood.

And this kind of smell, in the early hours of yesterday morning, when Lin Jiangbei followed Tao Pengshi to the warehouse of the post office on Target Road to check the parcel of Hengshan Qiuma, he happened to smell it.

Thinking of the old drunkard, as a tailor, often in and out of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Robert George bumped into him at the shoeshine booth at the Broadway intersection two days ago, and the true identity of the old drunkard can be said to be revealed.

Lin Jiangbei immediately made a decision, immediately moved his legs, walked quickly to the old drunkard, and said, "Hello, are you Mr. Rodyodov Lionovsky?" ”

The old drunkard stopped, did not answer Lin Jiangbei's words, but glanced at Lin Jiangbei arrogantly, and asked in a strange Shanghainese dialect: "Who are you?" How did you come here to find me? Who told you I was here? ”

"Oh, Mr. Rotyodov Leonovsky!" Gu Dabiao hurriedly ran over and said, "I told Boss Cheng that you might be here, and brought him over to find you!" ”

When the old drunkard saw Gu Dabiao, the gloom on his face receded slightly. After all, Gu Dabiao is the grandson of Gu Lao Deacon of the Xuanyuan Hall Industry Association, and he is also a member of the Shanghai Pigeon Club, so he has a little affection in it.

But even so, he still reprimanded Gu Dabiao and said, "Gu Dabiao, if you want to bring someone here to find me in the future, you must ask for my opinion first, and don't bring some inexplicable people over without my consent!" ”

When Gu Dabiao saw that the old drunkard dared to insult Lin Jiangbei, he immediately became anxious! Lin Jiangbei is a good friend of Chairman Zhu, and he also hopes to go to Chairman Zhu through Lin Jiangbei to say a few good words to get Chairman Zhu's support!

"Old drunkard, you borscht mouth clean up for me! Which do you think you are? I respect you a little that I call you Mr. Rotyodov Lionovsky. Gu Dabiao pointed at the old drunkard and scolded, "Boss Cheng is a good friend of my boss, you dare to say that he is a nonsensical person, believe it or not, I beat you?" ”

Although the old drunkard said that he secretly colluded with Yokoyama Akima and secretly served the Japanese, but after all, his public identity was just a Belarusian tailor, and if he really had a conflict with Gu Dabiao, a young man, he might not be able to get any good. What's more, there are still two people standing next to Gu Dabiao, Lin Jiangbei and Zhang Shixue?

For a while, his arrogance couldn't help but weaken, thinking if he was going to turn around and hide in the office of the Shanghai Pigeon Club to avoid the limelight?

"Xiao Gu, why are you talking so loudly to Mr. Leonovsky?" Lin Jiangbei sniffed the faint smell of dried longan wood bonito from the old drunkard, waved his hand at Gu Dabiao with a smile, and then said to the old drunkard: "Mr. Leonovsky." Let me introduce myself first, my surname, Cheng, I am a small boss of Ma Hong's semicolon. I heard from a few big bosses in Ma Hongji that your skills in cutting suits are very good, and I want to entrust you to help me tailor a few suits. It just so happened that Gu Dabiao also said that he knew you and knew that you often came to the carrier pigeon club in Hongkou Park, so I took the liberty to ask him to take me to look for you! ”

I heard Lin Jiangbei say that he was the small boss of Ma Hong's score. The old drunkard couldn't help but be shocked again.

He has been in Shanghai for so many years, why doesn't he know that Ma Hung Kee is the largest dung gang in Shanghai, and the huge and terrifying power hidden in it? Not to mention that he is just a tailor who fled from Belarus, even if it is Britain, the United States, Japan and France, who dare to easily offend a dung gang like Ma Hongji? If you are not careful, you will be put into a sack and sink into the Huangpu River, and you will inexplicably become a missing person!

Thinking in his heart, the old drunkard's attitude became polite, "Oh, it turned out to be the boss of Ma Hong's semicolon!" Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

The old drunkard arched his hand at Lin Jiangbei and said, "I usually don't make suits for Chinese guests. But since Boss Cheng is the boss of Ma Hong's score, and Xiao Gu is the introducer, it is impossible for me to resign. ”

"In this way, my tailor shop is located next to Yongan Department Store on Nanjing Road, and its name is White Russia International Tailor Company. You see when it's convenient for you, please move to my tailor's shop, let my staff help you measure the size, give you a special mark, and then choose the fabric on the spot, and when I look back and see your mark, I will personally go into battle and make a suit for you. ”

Lin Jiangbei came over this time, and he was able to meet the old drunkard and confirm the relationship between him and Yokoyama Qiuma, which was already a very rewarding gain. Hearing what the old drunkard said, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then trouble Mr. Leonovsky!" ”

"No trouble, no trouble, just a gesture! I still have something to do here, so I won't accompany you bosses! The old drunkard arched his hand at Lin Jiangbei and the three of them again, and then left quickly.

"Boss Cheng, what should we do now? Do you want to go to the Belarusian International Tailor Firm next to Yongan Department Store to get your measurements? Gu Dabiao looked at the back of the old drunkard and asked Lin Jiangbei.

Lin Jiangbei originally planned to go to the office of the Shanghai Pigeon Club to inquire about West Bryan's situation in detail. But now that he has bumped into the old drunkard and said that he was looking for him to order a suit, it is naturally not good to go to the office of the Shanghai Pigeon Club to inquire about other things about West Brian.

He groaned for a moment, turned his head and said to Zhang Shixue and Gu Dabiao: "Shopkeeper Leng, Xiao Gu, since I have figured out the location of the old drunkard's tailor shop, I can go over by myself, and I won't bother you two to accompany me anymore!" ”

Correction: In the previous chapter, the Japanese pigeon was actually purchased by Shanghai pigeon master Guo Ziyi, the author mistakenly thought it was Li Meiling, and now it is corrected.

Note: Guo Ziyi is a Japanese pigeon imported from Japan in early 1932, and the word "kamikaze" is on the ring. It was sold by a "Mochida store owner" in Japan. This pigeon flew very fast and won the spring race with Xiqiao in Fengyang, Anhui Province in 1932.

At the end of 1931, Li Meiling spent 5,735 silver dollars to introduce 5 pairs of breeding pigeons from Germany, including Belgium Weiqi series, Gunai series, German military pigeons, etc., which was the first time in the history of Chinese pigeon racing to introduce excellent breeding pigeons to Europe. After careful cultivation, in the autumn race of 1932, Li Meiling used the newly introduced good seed generation pigeons to participate in the competition, and won the top five races in Tianjin in one fell swoop.
