Chapter VII Entry
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Red party elements committed murder on the street, and three people in Xinshengtai shoe store died! β
Early the next morning, the newsboys on Zhongshan Road began to sell along the street, and in a blink of an eye, the news of the Red Party elements killing the traitors spread throughout the island city, especially the neighbors seven aunts and eight aunts, who flocked to the door of the Xinshengtai shoe store and pointed at the faΓ§ade of Xinshengtai, but no one dared to come in and take a look.
"I heard that the three Red Party members yesterday were all sharpshooters, one shot at a time, and only three shots were fired, and those three traitors kicked their legs and returned to bliss!"
"Nonsense, I heard that it was with a knife, and as soon as the knife went down, the heart and liver with a big fist were dug out, not to mention how miserable it was!"
"What a traitor, that's a member of the party-state, pay attention to what you say, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." An old man reminds everyone seriously.
Zhao Chunlai, who was nesting in the store, listened to it for half an hour, couldn't hold back any longer, walked out of the store with his waist crossed, and pointed to a group of idlers who were watching the excitement and scolded:
"A group of maidservants, who have never seen a dead man? Today my family is dead, and tomorrow it will be your family's turn! Don't just look there, everyone come in and sit down and have some joy! β
Seeing the lively melon-eating crowd, they hurriedly spit a few mouthfuls of saliva, for fear of being exposed to Xinshengtai's bad luck, and they scattered in a hurry.
Old man Zhao dispersed the crowd, walked into the store in a few steps, sat back behind the counter, and sulked there with a puffed face.
"Oh, old man, don't be angry, now our store is famous, you have saved a lot of advertising costs!" Geng Chaozhong sat on the rattan chair that Wang Fuyuan sat on yesterday, drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, and teasing the shopkeeper with a match.
"Get out! Lao Tzu usually opens a store well, you will encounter this kind of bad luck as soon as you come, don't wait, just now, pack your luggage and get out of the way for Lao Tzu! β
Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, although this old man Zhao said that he was mean-mouthed, but he treated himself well on weekdays, what does it mean to leave by himself so coldly?
"What are you stunned for, get out of the house after drinking this cup of tea, Lao Tzu doesn't raise idlers!"
Geng Chaozhong is also a half-sized boy, how can he stand this gun with a stick, pick up the tea bowl and raise his head to mutter, a large bowl of tea is poured into his stomach, and then slam the tea bowl on the table, without saying a word, stand up and go out.
As soon as he walked out of the door, an object smashed into the back of Geng Chaozhong's head, Geng Chaozhong subconsciously tilted his head, and the thing fell directly in front of him over his head. Geng Chaozhong looked at it and saw that it was a money bag.
"Reward you with a few meal money, don't starve to death and lie down in front of Lao Tzu to ask for food, take the money and leave quickly, don't come back from your frustrated goods, otherwise Lao Tzu will fight once you see it!"
Geng Chaozhong's heart just warmed up, and he was filled with black lines in his head by Old Man Zhao's words, and just wanted to talk back, only to hear a bang, and the doors of the store were closed.
Geng Chaozhong glanced back at Xinshengtai's signboard, smiled bitterly, and then bent down to pick up the money bag, pinched it, and there were a few Yuan Datou inside!
This is the cost of a few meals, save a little money, half a year's food money is enough!
Thinking of yesterday's events, Geng Chaozhong was moved in his heart, Old man Zhao, old man Zhao, you look down on people too much! I, Geng Chaozhong, am also a man who stands up to the sky, how can I be afraid of things and hide from things! But since you're out of this door, there's no need to go back, wait for the master to mix up his personal appearance, and come back and look at your old face!
Geng Chaozhong didn't look back, and strode towards the Sifang Road police station across the street, although a good man is not a soldier, but now there is no other way to go, I can't say it, I have to go to Zhu Muyun's men to beg for food!
Turn around the Sifang intersection, it is Zhongshan Road, almost all of this road are banks, Bank of Communications, Bank of China, Bank of China, Jincheng Bank are all gathered here, and it is also the financial center of the island city. At present, Zhongshan Road is one of the three major commercial streets in China, along with Nanjing Road in Shanghai and Wangfujing in Beijing. The biggest feature of this street is that there are many exotic buildings on the street, with pointed roofs, strong colors, and even exaggerated shapes, which are different from traditional Chinese architecture.
Geng Chaozhong walked west along the Sifang Road, passing by the Fulushou Cinema, Shandong Grand Cinema, Huale Grand Cinema and other cinemas, which are the most foreign and fashionable places in the island city.
Walking through the Huale Grand Theater, it is the Sifang Road Police Station. The police station is a three-storey building, only one alley can enter and exit, sandwiched between the surrounding high-rise buildings seems particularly incongruous, but people can not be disguised, the Sifang Road Police Station is the largest of the nineteen police stations in the entire island city, and the jurisdiction is also the most prosperous commercial area in the island city, managing the two largest commercial streets in the island city from Zhongshan Road to Sifang Road. In particular, Zhongshan Road, with a total length of about 1,500 meters, was built in 1897 and was originally planned and designed by the Germans, and was divided into two sections, the southern section near the sea is called Feidieli Street, and the northern section is called Shandong Street. The southern section is mainly a residential area for foreigners, and it is a commercial street that focuses on building.
Zhu Muyun can be a detective here, it is definitely not a fluke, in the past, this was a serious concession, and now although the Republic of China has recovered the concession, there are still a lot of foreigners here, Germans, Japanese, Russians, Koreans, Jews, and even Indian Ahsan is not a few. To be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the police station here, it is definitely a snake with hands and eyes that is all-encompassing, the Germans and the Japanese have not considered replacing people, but every time they change people, there are constant accidents, and there is no way to invite Zhu Muyun back to this big Buddha.
Geng Chaozhong said his name to the porter, and stood at the door waiting for Zhu Muyun's call, the porter nodded again and again after making a call, and then raised his head and said: "The third floor, the director's office." Motioned for Geng Chaozhong to go in.
Geng Chaozhong climbed up to the third floor with a little apprehension, and saw an office with a sign of the director's office hanging on the window near the end of the corridor, so he walked straight over and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Zhu Muyun's deep voice came from inside.
Geng Chaozhong pushed the door in, and saw Zhu Muyun wearing a neat uniform, sitting behind his desk, with a dignified face.
Seeing Geng Chaozhong walk in, Zhu Muyun owed slightly, untied the top wind and discipline buckle, and nodded to Geng Chaozhong to sit on the sofa opposite.
"Figured it out?" Zhu Muyun raised his eyelids and glanced at Geng Chaozhong.
"If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to do it." Geng Chaozhong dragged a sentence.
"That's right, it's not that the poor can't find a way out, who will do this bloody business." Zhu Muyun smiled.
"Literate, huh?" Zhu Muyun asked.
"Graduating from high school."
"Follow me in the future! It just so happened that I was short of an envoy, and the last secretary was hit in the head by a stray bullet when the Japanese landed last year, and I have never found a suitable one. Since you are literate, you can do things by my side, help me write something, run errands, and block the gun when it comes. β
