Chapter 66: Malcolm's Cafe
Schultz was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
"Actually, if you don't come to me, I'll go to you, that guy from Beichuan hasn't been in the prison hospital for long, and the Japanese consul has come to me several times, saying that it is pointless to hold a prisoner who has lost his senses, it is better to hand it over to the Japanese army hospital with better conditions, and if it improves, he will be sent back to serve his sentence."
Schultz spread his hands, "The Japanese, you know, will definitely not come back if they are sent away." β
"Then I'll go see Beichuan!"
Geng Chaozhong stood up and left.
"Don't, don't!" Schultz grabbed Geng Chaozhong, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"I'm afraid that Beichuan won't live tomorrow if I see you, and I don't want to make a mistake before leaving."
Geng Chaozhong laughed, sat down again, gave Schultz a thumbs up, and said:
"It's a pleasure to talk to you foreigners, you know, it's really annoying to talk to those bureaucrats, you guess I guess everyone at every turn. What's the matter, Mr. Schultz, you make a condition, and then hand over Beichuan to me, and we will do a good business, how about it? β
Schultz nodded approvingly, after coming to China for so many years, what he hated most was ambiguous conversations with Chinese officials, and he still preferred the Western way of thinking - a deal is a deal.
After a moment of silence, Schultz made a condition.
"I know that Liu Yiban has been staring at me, and if Beichuan dies, I can't get out. Well, I'll give you Kitagawa, but you have to promise that he can't die until I leave. β
"No problem! It's a trivial matter, as long as he's in my hands, it's simple to let him die when, I don't need to break our contract. β
Geng Chaozhong nodded calmly.
"Well, but I have one more condition," Schultz's eyes flashed with a burning light, "and you still have to help me find that fortune, I now have a clear clue!" How about I give you half of the treasure when it's done? β
"Do you have a clue?" Geng Chaozhong asked with a surprised face.
What an international joke!
But looking at the excitement on Scholz's face, it really doesn't look like a pretend.
Could it be that what Zhu Fatzi told himself was fake, and that treasure really had something?
Geng Chaozhong's head was messed up.
"Wait, wait, let me think."
Geng Chaozhong shook his head, holding his head and thinking about it.
At that time, when Zhu Fatzi told him that the treasure did not exist, his expression was indeed a little strange, but he didn't care at that time, and now that he thinks about it, it does seem a little suspicious - to be honest, he really didn't dare to believe what Zhu Fatzi said, after all, Zhu Fatzi didn't lie to him once or twice! But I felt that in the matter of the priest's treasure, Zhu Fatzi really didn't need to lie to him.
Geng Chaozhong carefully recalled all the details of what happened in old Germany, and only one thing was not confirmed:
Was the bond in Liu Zhixun's hand given by Schultz?
Geng Chaozhong raised his head, looked at Schultz's burning eyes, and said:
"I have only one question before accepting your conditions. The bond in Boss Liu's hand, did you give it? β
"What bonds?"
Schultz was confused, and there was really no trace of falsification in his expression.
Geng Chaozhong lowered his head again.
The bond in Boss Liu's hand, Schultz didn't even know!
Why did Boss Liu lie to himself?! What is the need for him to lie to himself?! What's going on here?!
If the bond in Boss Liu's hand was not given by Schultz, who would it be?
Zhu Fatty!
Hou Chun!
This is the only way possible!
Could it be that Liu Yiban's judgment was correct, Boss Zhu got that fortune and ran away like this?
Liu Zhixun died, Zhu Mu ran away, this is an unsolvable answer at all!
I can only choose to believe Schultz and assume that this wealth really exists!
Whether it's true or not, as long as you follow the clues that Schultz said, you won't lose anything!
However, before this incident, Geng Chaozhong decided to take a gamble and see if Schultz really didn't know anything about it!
"Mr. Schultz," Geng Chaozhong looked up, "I know more than you think, the priest is your father, right?" β
Schultz was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, but he still nodded and said:
"That's right, the priest is my father. Is this what Fat Zhu told you? Only he knew about it. β
Geng Chaozhong nodded, gritted his teeth and continued:
"Zhu Fatzi also told me that this wealth was given to his father by your father, and then his father opened a welfare home in Weifang, Yantai, Jinan, and it was spent ten years ago!"
After saying this, Geng Chaozhong stared at Schultz's face tightly, he was very scared, if it was really like what Zhu Fatzi said, would Schultz go crazy!
Schultz's eyes widened, his expression became extremely surprised, his mouth was open enough to fit a large duck egg, but there was no sign of madness!
"Did he really say that?"
Schultz spoke, but not as crazy as Geng Chaozhong thought.
Geng Chaozhong's heart gradually sank, but slowly floated again, he looked into Schultz's eyes and nodded.
βscheine-hundοΌβ
Scholz's neck shrunk, and a German sentence popped out of his mouth β not a good word, based on Geng's limited German vocabulary.
After Schultz gasped heavily, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth like a barrage of curses:
"This guy has been bad since he was a kid! It's really bad! He kept playing pranks on me, and he shoved mice into my quilt! He's the biggest villain in the world! β
"And then?" Geng Chaozhong's eyes widened.
"That drunkard dad of his, died 20 years ago! According to him, my father sent the bonds to heaven! Oh no, it's not heaven, his dad doesn't deserve to go to heaven, and he doesn't deserve it! β
Schultz began to curse Zhu Fatzi endlessly, but after a moment he was stunned, because Geng Chaozhong also began to curse!
"his mother! Zhu Fatzi is simply the biggest slut in the world! I'll take his mother! I wish he had a son, he actually cheated on me! I still believe in him so much! @#οΏ₯#%@@%#%β
Geng Chaozhong blushed and cursed Zhu Fatzi with a thick neck, and he didn't stop scolding for 5 minutes, the Chinese language is so broad and profound that Schultz is dwarfed!
The two of them scolded for a while, until their mouths were dry and their voices were hoarse, and then they gradually stopped.
"So," Geng Chaozhong waved his hand weakly, "what exactly is the clue you are talking about?" β
"Don't worry," Schultz waved his hand weakly, "you tell me everything that happened in the prison first." β
Geng Chaozhong had to say it from beginning to end - he had nothing to hide.
Schultz lowered his head and thought for a long time before he spoke:
"Boss Liu can only tell you that the bond was given by me, and if it was given by Zhu Fatzi, it will only make Liu Yiban focus his attention on Zhu Fatzi."
Geng Chaozhong nodded, that's right, it's very reasonable.
"My father did come to see me for the last time in prison, but he didn't give me a single bond at all, they were lying to you."
Geng Chaozhong smiled bitterly and nodded, of course there was nothing wrong with this.
"I got this news from Malcolm Cafe, I believe that Zhu Fatzi is too, Liu Yiban is too, and Zhang Haogu is still the same."
"Malcolm Cafe?"
Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but ask.
"This is the largest place for the exchange of intelligence in the island city, where intelligence brokers from every country exchange or buy and sell information, and this news has been circulating there for more than fifteen years. I went there the day after I got out of prison and got the news. β
Schultz's eyes seemed to twinkle with something.
Geng Chaozhong looked at Schultz quietly, and suddenly smiled.
"So, you're a regular at that cafΓ©, and your identity isn't as simple as I thought?"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. There's a rule in Malcolm's Cafe β never ask about other people's secrets, but you can trade secrets for secrets, or buy them for money. β
Schultz smiled, turned and removed his top hat from the hanger, then took off his trench coat and draped it over his body.
"Let's go! I'll take you to see the club. He connects Tokyo, Frankfurt, London and New York, and if you don't know this place for espionage in the island city, then I can only tell you that you are a rookie in the middle of the word. β
