After ordering two rickshaws, Lin Jiangbei took Hu Desheng and Li Zhichuan to the old Shanghai tailor shop.

Similar to the situation of Xiangxing ready-to-wear shop, the old Shanghai tailor shop also went up from the inside, and the rare light came through the crack in the door, and there was a faint sound of sewing machines inside.

Lin Jiangbei waited for Hu Desheng to ambush both sides of the door with pistols, and then went up to slap the door panel of the tailor shop.

"Is Tailor Liu here?" He banged on the door and shouted in L.A. dialect.

Inside, the sound of the sewing machine stopped, and a man with a distinctly Shanghainese accent asked inside, "Who?" What's the matter? ”

"Customer, come to Tailor Liu to order a suit!" Lin Jiangbei replied.

"It's too late, you can come tomorrow!" The Shanghainese man replied.

"No, I'm in a hurry to use it tomorrow, please ask Tailor Liu to help, I can pay for it!" Lin Jiangbei said.

There was a sound of footsteps inside, and only a creak was heard, and a door panel was removed from the inside, revealing a shrewd face in his early forties. He looked Lin Jiangbei up and down, and said suspiciously, "You haven't been here before, have you?" I didn't remember seeing you! ”

"I haven't been here before, but this time I came to you after listening to the introduction of my classmates!" Lin Jiangbei said as he handed over a large front door, "You should be Tailor Liu, right?" Here, smoke a cigarette. ”

"No smoking in the tailor's shop!" Tailor Liu waved his hand, but he was still blocking the gate, "You want to use it tomorrow, why did you think about it until this time?" ”

"It's hard to put into words!" Lin Jiangbei stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case and said with a look of annoyance, "I originally had a set." Because I'm going to use it tomorrow, I'll take it out tonight and ask my sister to iron it for me. Who knew that my sister was clumsy and burned a big hole in the chest of her clothes. It's not like there's no way, I just came to you Tailor Liu. ”

"Where do you work? It's not cheap to make a suit! Tailor Liu looked at Lin Jiangbei.

"I know it's not cheap, but can't I help it?" Lin Jiangbei said, "I work for Eurasia Airlines. Tomorrow afternoon, the company's German manager will come to Jinguyuan Airport to inspect, and I, as an escort, must wear a suit! ”

Eurasia Airlines' flight from Shanghai to Xi'an landed at Jinguyuan Airport in Los Angeles last year. Later, because of the small passenger flow in Los Angeles, it was changed to land at Zhengzhou Wulipu Airport. However, Luoyang Jinguyuan Airport is still used as an alternate airport, and special left-behind personnel are set up to liaise.

These were all introduced by Lin Jiangbei on the plane to listen to the crew, and at this time they were used to deal with Tailor Liu, and he was not worried about goofs.

"So it's on Eurasia Airlines? Then you're a real boss! Tailor Liu took a step back and let Lin Jiangbei in.

"What kind of boss am I? Aren't you eating with the faces of foreign devils? Lin Jiangbei walked in with a grin.

"What's the boss's last name?" Tailor Liu asked, following behind.

"Don't be expensive, your surname is Zhao." Lin Jiangbei casually reported a surname.

"Then I don't know what kind of suit Boss Zhao is going to make?" Tailor Liu asked.

Lin Jiangbei put his hands behind his back, casually looked at the layout of the tailor's shop, and said, "What materials do you have here?" ”

"Basically, I have all the material on the ground in L.A. here. I have the material that I don't have on the ground in L.A. Tailor Liu said.

"When you say that, I'm relieved! It seems that my classmate's introduction is not wrong! Lin Jiangbei laughed and said, "You just take out your best fabrics, and I'll choose them!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute!" Tailor Liu stepped on the stool, selected three rolls of cloth from the shelf, and carried them to the tailor's table one by one.

"Tailor Liu, why are you alone in the store? Are there no helpers and apprentices? Lin Jiangbei asked strangely.

"It's too small, and they're all working in the backyard!" Tailor Liu replied, and then tore apart the three cloth rolls and showed them to Lin Jiangbei, "This is a twill imported from the United States; This one is a beep imported from the UK; This one is a direct tribute imported from Japan. If you choose the first two materials, the price is a little more expensive, even with the material, a set of 18 yuan, if it is tomorrow morning to pick up the goods, but also add four yuan expedited fee. In the latter case, a set of 14 yuan is 14 yuan, and the expedited fee is also 4 yuan. ”

"What's so expensive?" Lin Jiangbei said, "I heard from my colleagues in our company that they were looking for their own tailors in Shanghai to do it, even if they used imported materials, and a set was only twelve or thirteen yuan. Tailor Liu, you're not a little expensive! ”

"How can that be the same?" Tailor Liu said, "I am a tailor of the Red Gang, and the craftsmanship of this gang of tailors is completely different!" ”

The so-called Bengang tailors are specialized in making clothes for Chinese, and generally do not dare to accept orders for foreigners' clothes. The Red Gang tailors, regardless of Chinese or foreigners, dare to take orders, and they are mainly foreigners, so the quotation is naturally a lot higher than that of the Gang tailors.

"It turns out that Tailor Liu turned out to be a tailor on the Shanghai Red List, which is disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lin Jiangbei arched his hand from Tailor Liu, "I don't know if Tailor Liu has made a finished product for other customers, bring it to me to see, is it a good one?" ”

"Medium, why not! Is the real craftsmanship still afraid of people looking at it? Tailor Liu turned around and smiled, and went to get the finished product.

Lin Jiangbei looked at Tailor Liu's back, his face cloudy.

Whether it was the layout of the tailor's shop, or Tailor Liu's speech, as well as Tailor Liu's dress and even his hands, he had carefully observed it and found no flaws.

Could it be that he is suspicious, Tailor Liu is really just a Red Gang tailor with a keen sense of smell and strategic vision, who went to Los Angeles to seize business opportunities?

He planned to take a look at the finished suit made by Tailor Liu, and if he didn't find anything suspicious on it, he would take out the wisp of camel hair tweed fiber in his pocket and ask Tailor Liu to help identify it.

Soon, Tailor Liu took a suit from the ready-to-wear rack next to him, put it in front of Lin Jiangbei, smiled, and said, "Boss Zhao, at this time, I made the finished product for the customer, you can just look at it." If you can find the slightest flaw, then I can give you a suit for free! ”

"Yo, Tailor Liu is so confident! Then I'll have to take a good look, maybe I can earn a suit for nothing! Lin Jiangbei said as he swept his gaze to the suit in front of him.

Under this sweep, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

It turned out that his guess was not wrong, this tailor Liu was really problematic.

So what's the problem? It's in the way the buckle of the suit is nailed. The real Red Gang tailors, when nailing buttons, all adopt the criss-cross nail method. This is because the birthplace of the red list tailor was in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and the foreigners received by Ningbo people at that time were all Dutch, French, British and other Europeans, and the Europeans adopted the cross method for nailing buttons. The so-called Red Gang tailors learned the sewing methods of these red-haired devils' suits in the original way.

The Japanese opened the port under the coercion of American warships, so the tailors on the Japanese side began to learn to sew suits, according to the habits of the Americans, and the Americans used the parallel line method when nailing buttons, and the stitches of the two pairs of buttonholes were parallel. And this method is the one that the Red Gang tailors will never use.

The reason why Lin Jiangbei knows this is because of Kazutaka Yamada. At the beginning, Yamada Kazutaka ordered a suit in a Red Gang tailor shop in Hangzhou, and because the buttons were sewn in the wrong way, he was furious and almost scolded the guy who delivered the clothes to death in the tailor shop.

Unexpectedly, today Lin Jiangbei used it to discover the flaws of Tailor Liu.

"Well, it's really good, whether it's the fabric workmanship or the version, I can't find any problems!" Lin Jiangbei quietly checked the entire outfit, and handed it to Tailor Liu with a smile, "Then help me make a set of beep suits imported from the UK!" ”

According to his plan, he was to stabilize Tailor Liu first, and after he left, he immediately notified Zhong Yingcai to send someone over to surround this tailor shop and catch it all.

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll help you measure the size when I hang up my clothes!" Tailor Liu hung the suit back on the hanger, and carried a soft ruler to measure the size of Lin Jiangbei.

Lin Jiangbei couldn't let Tailor Liu measure at this time, because he had a gun hidden in his waist, and Tailor Liu would definitely find out when he measured the size.

Just as he was thinking about how to refuse, he heard a creak at the back door, and a figure walked in with a big bowl, "Master, my mother has cooked the wontons, let me bring them to you." ”

Lin Jiangbei's gaze fell on the face of this figure, and he couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart: Isn't this the staff officer Wu Wenjun who absconded from the Staff Department of the Zhejiang Security Department? How did he end up here?

Thinking in his heart, Lin Jiangbei stretched out his hand to touch the gun on his waist, but unexpectedly, Tailor Liu behind him had a hideous face, and the soft ruler in his hand was turned over, and it was already put on Lin Jiangbei's neck, and his hands were forced, and he strangled it fiercely!
