() "Huacong Daily" is a tabloid founded in the Japanese Concession in 1927 in the 16th year of the Republic of China in order to cater to the prosperity of the prostitution industry in the Japanese Concession.

The newspaper featured a special description of the lives of prostitutes, and it also published advertisements for famous prostitutes in several major brothels in the concession, and it was also very popular not only in the Japanese concession, but also in the whole of Hangzhou.

And what really makes "Huacong Daily" sell well in Hangzhou is not the ** articles in the newspaper that describe the life of prostitutes and the advertisements of famous prostitutes, but the monthly evaluation list of "Huacong Daily".

The "Huacong Daily" evaluation list imitates the electoral system in the early years of the Republic of China, printing ballots in the "Huacong Daily", and readers can cut out the ballot and fill in the name of their favorite prostitute, the address of the brothel where they work, and the merits of the prostitute, and then send it back to the "Huacong Daily" newspaper.

The "Huacong Daily" newspaper has set up a special person to count the votes received every day, and publish the statistical results in the "Huacong Daily" on the next day, and then take the last day of each month as the deadline to select the ranking of the current month's flower list, and announce it in the "Huacong Daily" on the first day of the next month.

A total of three people were selected on the list, and they were named "President", "Vice President" and "Prime Minister".

Thirty people in the second class will be named as president, minister, and deputy minister according to the number of votes.

Thirty outsiders are all included in the top three.

Since the establishment of the flower list system, "Huacong Daily" has been surprisingly popular. In order to get a little higher on the flower list, some prostitutes do not hesitate to spend money to buy many newspapers, fill out the ballots, and send them back to the "Flower Grove Daily" newspaper.

Therefore, the matter of swiping tickets is really not invented by the author of the starting point, and in the Republic of China, the prostitutes in Hangzhou were well versed in this.

As a result, "Huacong Daily" has become the best-selling newspaper in Hangzhou, as long as you can get the newspaper, you can stop at the door of the major brothels in Hangzhou, and it will be robbed in minutes.

As a newsboy, Zhao Xiaolong's favorite thing to sell is "Huacong Daily", as long as he can get it, even if he doesn't go to the door of the prostitute, he can basically sell it out.

It's just that newspapers are not something that Zhao Xiaolong can get if he wants to, not only the best-selling "Huacong Daily", but also other newspapers.

In Hangzhou, newspaper boys selling newspapers need to go through a newspaper delivery union.

The distribution of newspapers and periodicals in the Republic of China was mainly through newspaper vendors, and it was like a small society internally, with its own newspaper distribution unions and its own leaders, big newspaper sellers.

The big newspaper sellers wholesale directly from the newspaper distribution office, and control the newspaper office, the main hub of newspaper wholesale.

Under the big newssellers, there were all kinds of small newssellers, who received newspapers from the big newssellers and then sold them wholesale to street vendors and street newssellers.

Newspaper boys belong to the street newspaper sellers and are at the bottom of the newspaper vendor society. Newspaper boys need to go to the newspaper distribution office every morning or evening to open the newspaper, sell the morning newspaper in the morning, sell the evening newspaper in the afternoon, and get up to 10 or 20 copies of each newspaper each time. And for a best-selling newspaper like "Huacong Daily", there are restrictions on the dispatch office, so they will not give more.

For example, the major brothels and other big customers are arranged by the newspaper sellers of the newspaper delivery union, and the newspapers are delivered directly. The newsboys could only carry newspapers and sell them on the streets.

Lin Jiangbei has been in Hangzhou for more than two years, so naturally he will not be unaware of this wonderful tabloid known in Hangzhou.

And because "Huacong Daily" was relatively easy to sell, Lin Jiangbei also specially asked the instructor of the police academy who served in the Second Sub-Bureau at that time to come forward to greet the newspaper office, and asked the newspaper office to give Zhao Xiaolong a double copy of "Huacong Daily" every time.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of hiding in the Japanese concession of Hangzhou, No. 2 Mole actually knew the newspaper "Huacong Daily", and also bought a copy from Zhao Xiaolong.

"Xiaolong, have you heard of any other newsboys who went to Toyama to sell the "Flower Grove Daily"?" Lin Jiangbei asked.

"Nope!" Zhao Xiaolong shook his head, "I heard Brother Xiaogang say that it was at the door of the Fushan Commercial Bank." ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded.

It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

I was worried about finding a way to sanction No. 2 Mole, but I didn't expect No. 2 Mole to take the initiative to send it to the door.

"Xiaolong," Lin Jiangbei said, "After you get the newspaper from the newspaper office tomorrow, don't rush to the Japanese concession to sell it, go back here first, and let me deal with it for you." ”

Although Zhao Xiaolong didn't know what Lin Jiangbei wanted to do, out of trust in Lin Jiangbei, he still nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, Brother Dahei, I know!" ”

The next morning, Lin Jiangbei went to the Japanese concession to collect the gold juice, and after sending the gold juice to the dung wharf at Wayaotou, he immediately rushed back to his office of the Mongolian Bridge Zhejiang Police Alumni Association, and then carefully took out a small glass bottle from the safe, which contained a small half bottle of colorless and transparent powder.

Don't underestimate this small half bottle of colorless transparent powder, its scientific name is wheat/horn/acid/di/ethyl/yl/acyl/amine, referred to as l/s/d, even in later generations, it is also the most powerful hallucinogen.

It is odorless, colorless and odorless, and is one of the most potent hallucinogens, equivalent to one-tenth of the weight of a grain of sand can cause poisoning to users.

As for its source, it was half a year ago when Lin Jiangbei moved from the Zhejiang police to the Hangzhou Training Class at No. 30 Xiongzhen Building to receive training, when he was helping to clean up the warehouse of the canteen, he found a large bag of moldy rye from the corner of the warehouse.

Lin Jiangbei remembered the knowledge he learned when he was a forensic doctor in the previous life, and he could use wheat/horn/amine, wheat/horn/new/alkali in these molds on rye to make wheat/horn/acid/di/ethyl/yl/acyl/amine, the most effective hallucinogen.

Now that he has joined the Hangzhou training class and become a trained agent of the Intelligence Division, having one of the most powerful hallucinogens will definitely be of considerable help to him in his future career as an agent.

So Lin Jiangbei went to his forensic instructor, Professor Mao Xian, to get the key to the forensic office of the police academy, and then used the equipment and medicine of the forensic medicine room to make this small half-glass bottle of wheat/horn/acid/di/ethyl/yl/acyl/amine (in order to avoid harmony, it will be referred to as No. 1 medicine in the future) from the large package of moldy rye.

Agent 1 was originally used by the CIA as an "honest drug" to make interrogators confess. However, after further testing, the CIA found that Agent 1 would cause paranoia in the test subject, and the content of the confession was not true, so the use of Agent 1 in the interrogation was abandoned.

It is precisely for this reason that Lin Jiangbei did not use this hidden weapon when Gu Siqiang refused to confess.

But since listening to Zhao Xiaolong say that No. 2 Mole likes to read "Huacong Daily", Lin Jiangbei finally found a use for No. 1 Elixir, that is, to use No. 1 Elixir to achieve sanctions against No. 2 Mole!

After getting the No. 1 potion, Lin Jiangbei rushed back to the Anwu in Dadazhi Lane, teasing Xiao Hei with Xiaohu while waiting for Zhao Xiaolong's return.
