Gu Dabiao easily found an opportunity to be courteous to Lin Jiangbei, how could he let it go? Hearing that Lin Jiangbei said that he didn't want them to accompany him and wanted to go alone, he hurriedly said: "Boss Cheng, the Yongan Department Store is the most prosperous area on Nanjing Road, and even if the old drunkard's White Russian International Tailor Firm is opened there, it will not be too big a façade, and it will definitely not be easy for you to find it alone." It just so happens that I don't have anything to do now, and I'm more familiar with it, so why don't you let me continue to accompany you! ”

"That's right, Boss Cheng, you still let me and Xiao Gu accompany you, three pairs of eyes are better than one pair of your eyes, don't you say?" Zhang Shixue didn't want Lin Jiangbei to go alone at this time.

After all, things have come to this point, the identity of the old drunkard is about to come out, and it is the time to close the net and produce results, if he doesn't go over, won't this credit become Lin Jiangbei's?

As soon as Lin Jiangbei heard it, he understood that Zhang Shixue had misunderstood him, and he was afraid that Zhang Shixue would come over to fight for merit. But with Gu Dabiao on the side, it was not easy to explain much, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, as long as Xiao Gu doesn't think I'm delaying your time, go with me and Shopkeeper Leng!" ”

The three of them walked out of the gate of Hongkou Park together and waited for a taxi on the side of the road. It's just that at this time in Shanghai, the number of taxis is limited. Although Hongkou Park is a prosperous area, the density of taxis is also more and less, and three people stood at the gate of Hongkou Park and waited for nearly 20 minutes, and there was no empty taxi passing by.

Just when Lin Jiangbei was waiting a little impatiently and was about to talk to Zhang Shixue, the three of them took a rickshaw to the old drunkard's tailor on Nanjing Middle Road, when they saw a silver taxi carrying guests from a distance and was parked at the gate of Hongkou Park.

Lin Jiangbei stared at the taxi with his eyes, and made sure that the guests on the car got off in Hongkou Park, so he was ready to step forward to stop the empty car.

I saw the taxi door open from the inside, and an officer in the uniform of a major in the United States Marine Corps came out of it carrying a pigeon cage. Lin Jiangbei looked over from the side, and only felt that this officer was tall, blonde and blue-eyed, and his appearance was not weaker than that of later Hollywood movie stars.

Looking at the pigeon cage carried by this officer again, Lin Jiangbei couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, could it be that this officer is West Bryan, the translator of the Fourth Expeditionary Force Command of the United States Marine Corps?

Thinking in his heart, Lin Jiangbei turned his head and asked Gu Dabiao: "Xiao Gu, this officer who just got out of the taxi is not the West Bryan of your Shanghai Pigeon Club?" ”

Gu Dabiao's vision happened to be blocked by Lin Jiangbei and Zhang Shixue, and he didn't see who came out of the taxi. Hearing what Lin Jiangbei said, he hurriedly stretched out his head to look in the direction of the officer, and then nodded and said, "Boss Cheng, yes, he is West Bryan of the carrier pigeon club." ”

Just as he stretched out his head, West Bryan's eyes happened to look this way, and he saw Gu Dabiao at once.

"Hey, Gu Dabiao, why are you here?" West Bryan walked over to Gu Dabiao with a smile while carrying the pigeon cage.

"Hello, Mr. Brian!" Gu Dabiao hurriedly responded, "My boss's friend wanted to find Leonovsky to customize a suit, so he asked me to come to Hongkou Park to find Mr. Leonovsky!" ”

"Oh, is it? Did you find Leonovsky? West Bryan asked Gu Dabiao.

"Found it!" Gu Dabiao hurriedly replied: "Mr. Leonovsky asked us to go directly to his tailor's shop to measure the fabric!" ”

West Bryan looked at Lin Jiangbei and Zhang Shixue, and then said to them, "Well, you two have good visions. Leonovsky is very good at making suits, and you won't regret asking him to make a suit for you! ”

Lin Jiangbei didn't expect West Bryan to be so humble and peaceful, and he would take the initiative to come over to greet Gu Dabiao, an ordinary Chinese guard. In this respect, his characteristics in this regard are very similar to that of his former colleague Robert George in the U.S. Consulate General, and they are very approachable, completely lacking the arrogant and condescending attitude that most Americans have towards the Chinese.

This is also in stark contrast to the old drunkard's attitude towards Gu Dabiao before.

Whether it is said that West Bryan's attitude is deliberately pretended, or whether he is originally this kind of character, this is a good thing for Lin Jiangbei to ask for. Lin Jiangbei also wanted to test whether there was anything to do with West Bryan and the old drunkard.

After all, there are too many coincidences in between.

"In that case, Mr. Brian must have asked Mr. Leonofsky to customize the costume." Lin Jiangbei continued West Bryan's words and said, "Otherwise, how would you know that Mr. Leonofsky's craftsmanship in making suits is very good, and we will definitely not regret finding him to make suits?" ”

"Of course!" West Bryan laughed and said, "I met Leonovsky five or six years ago and became a loyal customer. It can be said that in the years I have been in Shanghai, except for the uniforms issued by the army, all the other clothes will be customized by Leonovsky! ”

"Really?" Lin Jiangbei said in surprise, "In this way, my friend didn't lie to me!" I thought my friend was bragging, thinking of an old drunkard who drank all day long, and no matter how good the tailor's skills were, they were limited! ”

"Believe me, friend, your friend is not bragging! The only drawback of the old drunkard is that he likes to drink too much, and if he were not so drunk, the level of his craft would be at least two percent higher than it is now. West Bryan couldn't help but pause and grin again, "It's also fortunate that he likes to drink heavily, and his craftsmanship is maintained at the current level, otherwise with his greedy personality, I don't know how much the design fee and the manual fee would have increased!" ”

Lin Jiangbei originally suspected that West Bryan had colluded with the old drunkard, but at this time, after hearing West Brian's admiration for the old drunkard's tailoring skills, he couldn't help but doubt his previous inference.

If you listen to West Bryan's words alone, he is more like a customer who appreciates the old drunkard's tailoring skills than a mole from a Japanese spy organization that has colluded with the old drunkard.

"Mr. Brian, if our meeting is a coincidence, I wonder if you have taken Mr. Leonovsky's advertising money and worked hard to sell him!" Lin Jiangbei laughed.

"How is that possible!" West Bryan said, "Do I still need to work hard to promote Eleonovsky's reputation in Shanghai?" To be honest, if it weren't for Gu Dabiao saying that Leonovsky promised to let you go over and his tailor to choose the fabric and measure it, I wouldn't have bothered to tell you this. Because of Elionovsky's high fees, not to mention you Chinese, even we Western expatriates, may not be able to afford it! ”

"Hehe, Mr. Brian, we Chinese are not as poor as you Western think. Since I dared to ask Leonovsky to customize a suit, I must have known his fees in advance. Lin Jiangbei said with a smile. Seeing that West Bryan was about to open his mouth to refute, he waved his hand, pointed to the pigeon in the pigeon cage in Brian's hand and said, "Mr. Brian, your pigeon looks very handsome, I like it very much, I wonder if you can transfer it to me?" ”

West Bryan was like a cat with its tail stepped on, and his voice suddenly raised an octave, "Transferred to you?" How can it be? Do you know how hard it took me to get this pigeon from Leonovsky? ”

What the! This pigeon in the hands of West Bryan was actually bought from Leonovsky?

Lin Jiangbei's heart was shocked, but his face remained silent, and he still said with a smile: "It turns out that your pigeons were bought from Mr. Leonovsky!" No wonder you just had to desperately advertise him and say good things! ”

"But if you don't want to transfer the pigeons, you don't want to go, why are you talking so loudly? Isn't it just a pigeon? Since you bought it from Leonovsky, we can buy it from Leonovsky! ”

"A pigeon? You're talking light! Seeing Lin Jiangbei despise his pigeons so much, Wester Brian's nose was almost crooked, and he pointed at Lin Jiangbei with his hand and said, "My pigeon has just won the first prize in the Shanghai Pigeon Club Suzhou race. With this result alone, you don't have two or three thousand oceans, don't think about buying it! ”

"Besides, even if you are willing to give two or three thousand oceans, Leonovsky will not have any such pigeons to sell you. There are only two pigeons of this breed, Leonovski. Except for the one he gave me, he only had one left in his hand. I don't believe in Eleonovsky's character and would be willing to sell you another pigeon! ”

Leaving these words, West Bryan didn't bother to bother with Lin Jiangbei anymore, and strode towards the gate of Hongkou Park with his pigeon cage.

Lin Jiangbei stood in place, touching his chin, and looked at West Bryan's back thoughtfully.

Originally, when he was looking at the score list at the gate of the Shanghai Pigeon Club in Hongkou Park just now, Lin Jiangbei's first reaction was that West Bryan was very suspicious of the Japanese mole hidden in the United States Marine Corps that he was tracking.

As for the old drunkard Leonovsky, the middleman between West Bryan, the Japanese mole, and Akima Yokoyama. Sometimes, after getting information from West Bryan, the old drunkard took advantage of the opportunity to cut clothes at the Japanese Consulate General and handed it directly to Yokoyama Akima. Sometimes the old drunkard would put the information at the shoemaker at the Broadway intersection and take it from the shoemaker when Yokoyama Akima was shining his shoes.

But now, after Lin Jiangbei met West Bryan himself, he had strong doubts about the inference he had drawn before. Not to mention anything else, West Bryan's personality alone is absolutely unsuitable to be a spy and a mole. Because as a spy or a mole, West Bryan has so much to say.

The key is not that West Bryan behaved like this after Lin Jiangbei found West Bryan, which can also be explained as West Bryan's deliberate performance in order to clear his suspicions.

Now West Bryan and Lin Jiangbei don't know each other at all, but after seeing Gu Dabiao next to Lin Jiangbei, he came up to say hello, and then heard that Lin Jiangbei was going to find an old drunkard to customize a suit, so he croaked and said a lot.

I have to say that such a natural talkative character is indeed suitable for being a translator, but for spies on a mission, this is a fatal shortcoming.

Zhang Shixue obviously has the same judgment as Lin Jiangbei. He saw that Lin Jiangbei's gaze was still suspiciously resting on West Bryan's back, how could he not understand Lin Jiangbei's thoughts?

"Xiao Gu, you said before that this West Bryan seems to be a translator in the U.S. military?" Zhang Shixue said to Gu Dabiao on the side, "I think he is quite interesting, not like the American translator I usually remember!" ”

"That's right, cold shopkeeper!" Gu Dabiao hurriedly said, "I think so too. Mr. Bryan is indeed not like the average American military interpreter. Ordinary pigeon enthusiasts like me in Shanghai usually come to Hongkou Park to participate in activities, and other Western pigeon breeders are reluctant to deal with me. But Mr. Brian, who would talk to me a few words after meeting him often! ”

"I thought it was because his pigeons didn't do well that he wanted to associate with us ordinary pigeon fanciers in the area. Since last year, his pigeons have started to show results, and after meeting me, they still have the same attitude as before, and every time they take the initiative to say a few words to me, a few words of homely things. ”

Hearing Gu Dabiao say this, Lin Jiangbei was even more puzzled in his heart. It seems that West Bryan is indeed not a disguise, he is really such a natural character who likes to communicate with people.

But is such a talker really the Japanese mole hidden in the US Marine Corps that they want to track?

Lin Jiangbei shook his head slightly, put this thought aside for the time being, and decided to put his mind on the old drunkard first. Regardless of what changes have changed on West Bryan's side, the identity of the old drunkard's Japanese spy can almost be said to be imminent.

It's just that he was delayed by West Bryan just now, and the silver taxi that sent him over had already left. The three of them were going to the old drunkard's tailor's shop, and they were going to intercept the car again.

Fortunately, they didn't delay for long this time, and a few minutes later, an empty car happened to drive by, so Lin Jiangbei hurriedly waved to stop it, and the three of them boarded the taxi and drove towards Yongan Department Store on Nanjing Middle Road.
