Chapter 0228: The Fourth Lady
The next morning, Lin Jiangbei took 30 sulfonamide injections, boarded a train bound for Shanghai, and then arrived at Shanghai Railway Station at 1 p.m. after a five-hour journey.
As soon as he walked out of the station, Liu Xuan, who arrived in Shanghai an hour earlier than him, greeted him, "Boss Cheng, hard work all the way!" ”
Lin Jiangbei shook hands with Liu Xuan with a smile, and said according to the pre-agreed title: "It's not hard, but Boss Zhang has been waiting for a long time!" ”
The two of them then looked at each other and smiled, and walked out with the flow of people out of the station. When the flow of people was sparse, Liu Xuancai slowed down and asked Lin Jiangbei: "Boss Cheng, what is our next step?" ”
"Find a place to settle down first!"
As he spoke, Lin Jiangbei stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, pulled Liu Xuan into the car, and then explained to the driver: "Master, let's go to the Lafei Fang on Lafeide Road." ”
Lafeide Road is an east-west arterial road in the French Concession, and as mentioned earlier, the radio class opened by the telecommunications department and Wei Xiaoming to screen talents for the telecommunications class in Hangzhou, that is, the famous three-pole radio training center, was opened on Lafeide Road.
As for La Fei Fang, it is a new lane residential area on La Fei De Road. While serving as an instructor in the Hangzhou telecommunications class, Zhang Huanian also served as the dean of the Tripolar Radio Training Institute, so he rented a private house in Rafeifang as a residence.
After Zhang Huanian left the Sanji Radio Training Center, this residence was vacant, so it was taken by Zhou Fengshan and used as a secret base in Shanghai, which was convenient for him to travel to and from Shanghai to do business. This secret stronghold Zhou Fengshan is usually handed over to a relative to take care of, except for Zhou Fengshan himself and a few people Du Chenghu and Zhang Huanian, few people know about this secret stronghold.
This time Lin Jiangbei came to Shanghai, and Zhou Fengshan specially arranged for him to live in this secret base. In addition to the consideration of security concealment, there is also the most important reason, that is, Du Yuexiao's fourth aunt, Yao Guanglan, also lives in La Fei Fang, which is a distance of 100 meters from Zhou Fengshan's secret stronghold.
In this way, as long as he contacts Du Yuexiao in advance, Lin Jiangbei can quietly go to Yao Guanglan's residence to meet Du Yuexiao, instead of going to the Du Mansion on Huagezhen Road to visit the door with great fanfare - you must know that in Shanghai nowadays, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Du Mansion day and night!
La Fei Fang is not far from the train station, less than five kilometers away, and after more than ten minutes, the taxi will be in the place.
Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan got out of the car and quickly found a three-story single-family house built of red bricks according to the address Zhou Fengshan said.
It didn't take much time, and an old man in his fifties walked out of the building, looked at Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan through the courtyard gate, and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”。
"You're Uncle Zhou, right?" Lin Jiangbei first handed Zhou Fengshan's business card from the middle of the iron railing, "My surname is Cheng, Cheng Weilan, Director Zhou introduced us!" ”
"You're the boss, huh? I've heard Fengshan explain! Zhou Bozhen saw that the business card was correct, so he nodded at Lin Jiangbei with a smile, opened the courtyard door, and invited Lin Jiangbei to enter with Liu Xuan.
Lin Jiangbei walked into the courtyard with Liu Xuan, and by the way, handed Uncle Zhou a packet of brown sugar in his hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, this is the Yiwu Qing that Director Zhou asked me to bring to you, please be your old subordinate." ”
Yiwu green is a kind of brown sugar that is a special product of Yiwu in Zhou Fengshan's hometown, because the color is tender yellow and slightly green, so it is called "Yiwu green". And Yiwu people eat sugar and pay special attention to it, as long as they have tasted Yiwu green, their mouths can no longer tolerate other brown sugar. Therefore, Lin Jiangbei came to Shanghai this time, and Zhou Fengshan specially prepared five catties of Yiwu Qing for Lin Jiangbei to bring to Zhou Bo.
Sure enough, looking at the heavy bag of Yiwu green in his hand, Uncle Zhou's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, but he said in his mouth: "Fengshan is really true, you came all the way from Hangzhou, and asked you to bring such a big bag of brown sugar, I don't think you are panicked!" ”
The guest room is located on the third floor, one on the left and one on the right, both facing the street, and Uncle Zhou cleaned it up early in the morning. Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan each chose one to move in.
When Lin Jiangbei and Liu Xuan put down their luggage, Zhou Bo handed him the two keys and said, "Boss Cheng, please keep the keys to these two gates, if you encounter me when I go out temporarily, you can open the door and come in directly." ”
Then he pointed outside again and said, "There is a separate sink and toilet on the third floor, you can use it directly." The phone is in the study on the second floor, and the study is not locked during this time, so you can call directly when the time comes. ”
"Alright, you two clean up slowly. I live on the first floor, and if you have any needs or instructions, just go to the first floor and find me!" ”
After Zhou Bo went down, Liu Xuan came to Lin Jiangbei's room, closed the door, and handed the ultra-long secret telegram on his body to Lin Jiangbei.
After Lin Jiangbei saw it, he learned that in 1933, Gansu Masahiko had set up a private labor liaison office in Shanghai, engaged in the activities of collecting intelligence and sending laborers to the puppet Manchukuo. Later, because the business of importing laborers did not go well, he returned to Tianjin in 1934 and established the Dadong Company in Tianjin, which instead sent laborers from Shandong and North China to the puppet Manchukuo.
As the business of the Dadong Company in Shandong and North China became more and more questionable, Gansu Masahiko made the idea to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions headed by Shanghai, and sent his confidant Araki Oi to Shanghai to restore the labor business in the Shanghai area, and at the same time had the task of collecting intelligence.
As for the address, it is still the original site of the labor liaison office set up by Masahiko Gansu in 1933 on the upper floor of the East Theater on Zhapu Road in Hongkou District.
After reading this information, Lin Jiangbei pondered for a while, and then said to Liu Xuan: "Old Liu, since the Labor Liaison Office is set up on the Donghe Theater on Zhapu Road in Hongkou, then Araki Oi's residential address must not be too far away from the Donghe Theater, and it should be within the jurisdiction of the Public Concession. According to the regulations of the Public Concession, Araki Oi must go to the Public Concession Patrol House to go through the relevant registration procedures if he lives in the Public Concession for a long time. ”
"In this way, you first go to the Hongkou Patrol House in the Public Concession to find a detective named Ruan Yihui, one is to ask him about the specific situation of Zhapu Road Donghe Theater, and the other is to ask him to help you investigate and see the specific residential address registered by Araki Oi in the Hongkou Patrol House in the Public Concession."
"Stationmaster Lin, who is this Ruan Yihui, is he reliable or not?" Liu Xuan asked with some concern.
Lin Jiangbei naturally understood Liu Xuan's worries, after all, they were dealing with the Japanese on this trip, and the senior staff in the Hongkou patrol house in the public concession, in addition to people of British and American nationalities, there were also some Japanese who held middle and upper positions in it. If this Ruan Yihui has a slight problem and leaks the news, they will go to deal with Araki Oi, but they will fall into the net.
"Hehe," Lin Jiangbei laughed, explaining to Liu Xuan: "This Ruan Yihui is extremely reliable. He is not only a member of our intelligence department, but also a classmate of Director Duan's sixth phase of Whampoa. His position as a detective in the Hongkou patrol house in the public concession was bought by Director Duan for 500 yuan. ”
After listening to Lin Jiangbei's explanation, Liu Xuan was completely relieved, if the classmates here were not reliable, I am afraid that there would be few reliable people in the entire intelligence department.
However, he still exclaimed in surprise: "Five hundred yuan can buy a position as a patrol house detective, I knew this, I also scraped together five hundred yuan to go to the public concession to get a detective to do it, it is better than staying at Henan Station to fight the autumn breeze." ”
Lin Jiangbei also shook his head and smiled, and said: "Yes, if it weren't for Principal Zhou telling me, I wouldn't have thought that five hundred yuan would be enough to buy a position as a patrol house in Hongkou in the public concession - originally I thought that even if it was a patrol house in Hongkou in the public concession, the price would be more than five hundred yuan!" ”
After sighing, Liu Xuan asked again: "Then how should I go to meet Ruan Zhaohui?" ”
Lin Jiangbei took out a box of Shengli brand cigarettes from his suitcase and handed it to Liu Xuan, saying: "There is a Nanyang café diagonally opposite the Hongkou patrol room, you go and order a large cup of butter coffee, and then take out a five-dime tip and put it on the table, and use this box of victory cards to press on the tip, naturally someone will lead you to see Ruan Yihui!" ”
"Stationmaster Lin, without further ado, then I'll rush over now, right?" Liu Xuan said.
"Okay, you go over, be careful on the road!" Lin Jiangbei nodded, handed Liu Xuan a key to the gate, and asked him to go first.
After Liu Xuan left, Lin Jiangbei came to the study on the second floor, picked up the phone, dialed Zhou Fengshan, and simply reported the situation to Zhou Fengshan on the phone.
"Well, Uncle Zhou has already called me just now to tell me the news that you have arrived." Zhou Fengshan said, "On the side of Araki Dajing, Liu Xuan will keep an eye on it first, and on your side, hurry up and handle Zhang Chaoyang's affairs first." ”
"Du Yuexiao's side, I have already contacted it. If you see a pot of cacti outside the window on the second floor, it means that Du Yuexiao has arrived at Yao Guanglan, you can go over and ring the doorbell, with two long and one short as the code. ”
"When the time comes, if the servant comes out and asks who you are looking for, you will say that you are a doctor, and you can come to Ms. Yao's door to diagnose Ms. Yao at the invitation of Ms. Yao!"
"Okay, Principal Zhou, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiangbei returned to the room on the third floor and took a nap. Seeing that the time was almost 2:40, he stepped downstairs and walked out of the courtyard.
Lafeifang itself is not big, more than 90 houses are gathered together, Lin Jiangbei didn't spend much time, and he found the bungalow at No. 16 Lafeifang.
He looked up at the top of the bungalow, and saw a pot of cacti outside a window on the second floor.
Raised his watch and looked at the time, it was only two fifty o'clock, Lin Jiangbei waited outside for another ten minutes, and saw that the time was exactly three o'clock.
Soon, a maid opened the door, and when she heard that Lin Jiangbei was coming to see the hostess, she immediately led Lin Jiangbei to the second floor.
Lin Jiangbei followed the servant into the second floor, and saw that in addition to a fashionable woman wearing a cheongsam, another man in a robe was sitting in the middle of the study.
This man was playing with a snuffbox in his hand, and when he saw Lin Jiangbei coming in, he didn't look at it angrily!
