After Wang Tiemin left the magazine, he returned directly to Hongkou and came to the vegetable market where his wife Huang Juhua sold vegetables. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why did you come back so early today?" Huang Juhua, who was busy, looked up and saw Wang Tiemin coming to the stall, glanced at Wang Tiemin and asked.

"I'll be back today when the club is on holiday." Wang Tiemin said casually.

"Holiday? What kind of holiday do you have for no reason? Don't be lazy, Mr. Feng gives you such a high salary, when you meet this kind of nobleman, our family burns high incense, you have to follow Mr. Feng well, don't be cheating and tricky. ”

In Huang Juhua's mind, Feng Chen is the benefactor of their family, not only giving Wang Tiemin a salary of 50 yuan a month, but also giving 5% of the dry shares, when the couple is together, the most they say is to talk about Feng Chen's benefits, and they should give Feng Chen a good job.

"I know, you don't know how many times you've said that." Wang Tiemin had something in his heart and looked impatient.

"Don't be impatient, it's not Mr. Feng, just rely on the two of us to sell vegetables, and sooner or later we will starve a few babies to death." The number of yellow chrysanthemums fell on Wang Tiemin.

"Brother Wang, didn't you go to work today?" At this moment, Li Ergou, who was selling beef next to him, came out of the store with a large piece of steak, and greeted Wang Tiemin warmly after seeing him.

"Ergouzi, who are you going to send steak to, so much?" Wang Tiemin asked.

"Who else? It's the Japanese named Aoki who often comes to buy beef. Li Ergou said.

"Aoki? He buys so much? Didn't his wife and children go back to Japan? "Wang Tiemin knows this Aoki, who lives not far from the vegetable market and often comes to Li Ergou to buy beef.

"Maybe it's a guest, he met me in the morning and asked me to send him a big steak after I killed the cow." Li Ergou spoke, carrying the ribs and walking towards the outside of the vegetable market.

Wang Tiemin didn't take this matter to heart, after all, this Aoki loves beef, and most of the people in the vegetable farm know that most of the main customers of this vegetable farm are Japanese expatriates living in the Hongkou area.

Wang Tiemin sat in front of the vegetable stall for a while, but he couldn't help Huang Juhua, and he had been thinking about Hu Mei's affairs in his heart, so he got up and explained to Huang Juhua, walked out of the vegetable market, and came to the small grocery store at the intersection outside.

"Tiemin, didn't you go to work today? I heard your chrysanthemum say, you recently found a good job in the French Concession, and your monthly salary is very high. The shopkeeper, surnamed Sun, was an old man in his sixties, and when he saw Wang Tiemin walking into the store, he greeted him warmly.

"Uncle Sun, have we had any strangers here in the past two days?" Wang Tiemin asked.

"Strangers? There really is. Old man Sun replied.

"Oh? Who? Wang Tiemin's spirit was shocked.

"It looks like someone from the Green Gang, at about 11 o'clock last night, two people came to my store, called me up to buy cigarettes, and listened to the conversation between the two of them, it seems that they came to find Aoki from the Japanese Resident Corps for something." Old man Sun told Wang Tiemin mysteriously.

"Aoki?" Wang Tiemin asked.

"Yes, Tiemin, you don't know, do you? Is Aoki a disciple of the Green Gang? Old man Sun said.

"Oh, I don't know." Wang Tiemin said.

"Here in Hongkou, there are many Japanese, who have privately worshipped Zhang Xiaolin as an old man, tell me, why do these Japanese want to join the Chinese gang!"

Old man Sun's shop is at an intersection, and often some idlers like to chat and brag here when they have nothing to do, so they can't hide anything from this old man Sun.

Old man Sun's words made Wang Tiemin feel real, especially knowing that this Japanese Aoki was a disciple of Zhang Xiaolin, Wang Tiemin felt that it was very likely that Hu Mei was kidnapped here.

What to do?

You must find out what the hell this Aoki is messing with, how can I go to Aoki's house to scout?

While Wang Tiemin was thinking, Li Ergou turned back after delivering the beef.

"Ergouzi, so soon, is the Aoki family a visitor?" Wang Tiemin beckoned, called Li Ergou to him and asked.

"Well, there are four or five people, all of them are from the underworld, it seems that they kidnapped some female editor last night, and when I went, they were discussing how to extort a sum of money." Li Ergou looked around and told Wang Tiemin in a low voice.

"Did you see the female editor?" Wang Tiemin asked

"No, then you editor seems to be locked up in the back room, and those people are gambling in the living room." Sun Ergou replied.

"No wonder they buy so much beef." Wang Tiemin muttered.

"Brother Wang, you seem to be quite concerned about this?" Sun Ergou looked at Wang Tiemin suspiciously.

"Why do I care about this? They didn't tie my chrysanthemum, besides, my chrysanthemum is tied to someone and no one tied him, don't you say? Wang Tiemin joked with Li Ergou.

"Brother Wang, how about I have a pot of beef offal at noon, how about a drink at my place?"

Li Ergou is a little addicted to alcohol, but when he is drunk, he likes to play drunk, and his wife does not let him drink, often cooking a pot of beef offal or beef bone broth, and then calling Wang Tiemin to come home, Wang Tiemin often brings a bottle of liquor to accompany Li Ergou to have a good time.

"I have something to do today, I'll go to your house another day to drink enough with you." Wang Tieming said.

"Okay, I'll go back and drink together another day."

The information brought by Sun Ergou is too important, Hu Mei Bacheng is hidden in the Qinggang family, but how can I see her in person? If you don't see people in person, you can't feel at ease.

……

Just when Wang Tiemin discovered Hu Mei's clues, in the office next to the library of Fudan University, Feng Chen was reporting to Ma Chunshui, who had just arrived.

"Comrade Chunshui, Hu Mei of the magazine may have been kidnapped." Feng Chen said.

"Humei was kidnapped? Who did it? ”

Ma Chunshui was very surprised, because before he came, he had just received an order from his superiors to arrange for the comrades of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee to escort Hu Mei to Yan'an in the next few days.

"It's not clear who did it, but I analyze that it may have been done by Ji Yunqing or Zhang Xiaolin's subordinates of the Qing Gang." Feng Chen replied.

"Is it your article in Current Affairs Weekly that is to blame?" It seems that Ma Chunshui has also read that article.

"Did you see the magazine, too?" Feng Chen asked rhetorically.

"After reading it, you said you, why are you messing with these people?" Ma Chunshui complained to Feng Chen.

"I didn't expect that." Feng Chen said.

"Do you know Hu Mei's true identity?" Ma Chunshui seemed to have made a lot of determination to ask this sentence.

"I know, last time Comrade Zhida was in Shanghai, he told me that Hu Mei is our comrade, and Comrade Zhida also asked me to take special care of her safety." Feng Chen replied calmly.

"In that case, you still let her risk writing that article?" Ma Chunshui criticized Feng Chen.

"I thought that after those people saw the article, they would deal with me if they wanted to deal with me, but who knew that they did not come at me, but secretly kidnapped Comrade Hu Mei." Feng Chen also felt guilty in his heart.

"Don't talk about this now, I also violated discipline once today, and I won't hide some words from you anymore!"

Ma Chunshui seemed to have made a lot of determination, paused, looked at Feng Chen, and then said: "The two sisters Hu Mei are our comrades, and their organizational relationship is subordinate to the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee. ”

"Comrade Chunshui, I have arranged for someone to inquire about Comrade Hu Mei's whereabouts." Feng Chen said apologetically.

"Isn't Ji Yunqing your senior brother? Why don't you go look for him? Ma Chunshui asked.

"This person secretly colluded with the Japanese, and the article in the magazine was written against him, but his name was not mentioned, I suspect that Comrade Hu Mei was kidnapped by him, is it useful to find him?" Feng Chen replied.

"So what do you say you should do? How do I report to my superiors? Ma Chunshui asked with a frown.

"Comrade Chunshui, if you see if this will work, I will find a way, do my best, find out the whereabouts of Comrade Hu Mei before tomorrow morning, if possible, no matter how much it costs, I will definitely rescue her safely and hand her over to you."

Feng Chen assured Ma Chunshui.
