In addition to going in and out of cars and living in bungalows, the wealthy people in Shanghai also have a more common feature, that is, most of them have safes in their homes.

Rich people seem to think that their homes are safer than banks, or that banks are unreliable.

This kind of psychology is more similar to many elderly people in rural areas, who like to hide their money at home.

Even in later generations, surveys have shown that people who have worked with the land all their lives rely more on visible and tangible entities than anyone else.

And this kind of habit is now cheaper than Shen Chen, Chu Jiao and others. The money robbed from Gao Jinbao's family is roughly estimated to be nearly 300,000.

Of course, many of these cannot be spent for the time being, and some of them need to be remodeled, such as special gold, silver, and jewelry.

These are just small regrets, not a big problem, and there are ways to solve them.

After getting so much at once, Gao Jinbao seems to be "losing" for a long time, and Chu Jiao feels that it is a big success.

Moreover, she thinks that she can continue to do it, anyway, there are many guys who have ill-gotten gains. Just like the "Blood Flag Gate" blackmail, this method seems to be more deterrent and the way to get money is simpler.

But Shen Chen didn't think so, his reason was to wait a little longer and observe the actual effect. After all, such an action is very conspicuous, killing people and robbing money, increasing the risk of exposure.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed a large amount of money urgently, he could still hit Wu Shibao, and it was a reversal blow to his assassination, Shen Chen really didn't want to be so excited.

"Gao Jinbao is Du Yuesheng's person, and Du Yuesheng can be regarded as helping me. Therefore, this operation should not be reported in the newspaper, but should be carried out by someone else. ”

Shen Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Rent a house in the Public Concession and the French Concession as a foothold. If possible, there should also be a place in western Shanghai. If it is not convenient, you can also choose a concession house close to Huxi. ”

"I think Yuyuan Road is good!" Chu Jiao said: "There is also Jing'an Temple Road, half of which is in the concession and half is in western Shanghai. ”

"It's okay, look for it slowly, it's not very urgent." Shen Chen said: "Recently, I have stopped collecting more information, practicing more skills, and maintaining the state of my body. You can even learn a little Japanese, which will be useful in the future. ”

Chu Jiao nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay." Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, my father's birthday, my brother also found a female foreign devil, and I have to help ease the messy things in my uncle's house, and it looks like he will be very busy. ”

Shen Chen nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Who has something to do, I also have trouble here, and I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet, let's mix it up like this first!" ”

"What's the trouble?" Chu Jiao asked curiously, "Didn't Lu Shuang and Weiwei send them to Macau?" ”

Shen Chen spread his hands and said, "Send two away, and four more will come." Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, niece, and a small hair. ”

Chu Jiao immediately became interested and asked what was going on.

Shen Chen recounted the matter, and said helplessly: "There is no way for the time being, I will live and recuperate first, and I will say to outsiders that it is my fellow countryman." ”

Chu Jiao thought for a while and said, "It should be okay in a short time, right?" If you don't want to buy a passport to send to Macau, I'll talk to Ma Mingyu about it, and send it to the rear, right? ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "This is more convenient, they should have a way to retreat." Wait a little longer, I'll think about it again, and I'll prepare it for them in advance. ”

"So much money, you can spend it as you like." Chu Jiao said generously: "As for me, I may need tens of thousands of yuan." You say, isn't it more convenient to open a car repair shop than to rent a house? ”

"That seems to work." Shen Chen looked at Chu Jiao, "Do you have enough energy?" Take care of two factories. ”

Chu Jiao smiled and said, "This factory has been smoothed out, I will promote a deputy manager, and I can move it step by step." Actually, I go to the factory every day, just sitting, nothing happens. ”

"If you can get busy, then it's fine." Shen Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Jing'an Temple Road is the first choice. Everett revealed to me that the police force intends to mobilize some elite soldiers to fill the Jing'an Temple. I have a hunch that it might be on the list. ”

"People like you who are not afraid of the Japanese and dare to work hard, and they are sorry for you if they don't use you as a gunman." Chu Jiao said with a smile: "Who made you show off, the patrol of the entire public concession, if you dare to say second, no one will dare to call it first." ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "No way, I am destined to be an ordinary but extraordinary person." ”

Hehe, Chu Jiao laughed twice, seemingly a little disdainful of Shen Chen's boasting.

……………

"Can this thing find my brother?" Yujuan looked at the telephone on the table with a completely incredulous expression.

Da Mei was so entangled by Yujuan that she had no tricks, so she was about to call, and when she saw Yujuan's suspicions, she explained: "In the evening, Mr. Shen came home from work, let's call again and let you talk to Mr. Shen." ”

"At night!" Yujuan looked outside and pouted, "I have to wait that long." ”

"Isn't Mr. Shen fine!" Da Mei comforted: "Maybe I'll come to see you in the next two days?" ”

Yujuan's brows widened a little, but she still looked very worried, and muttered while going upstairs: "I said I would come in two days, but it's been three or four days." The newspaper said that three hit one, and there were guns ......"

There are several tenants living in the Shikumen house, and it is estimated that in addition to Damei, there are also newcomers Yujuan and others, all of whom have read and write, and there is no shortage of senior intellectuals like professors.

Shen Chen doesn't raise the rent much, and the tenants live for a long time. After a long time, it will naturally become familiar.

When the weather is not cold, at night, most of the people sit in the patio and talk about the world, and the news in the newspaper is naturally a topic of conversation.

Da Mei, usually there is no entertainment, every time at this time, boil water and add tea, take a small bench and sit on the side as if listening to a commentary.

Therefore, although Da Mei doesn't go out much except for grocery shopping, she also knows a lot of things outside.

Yujuan and the others had just arrived, and they were not familiar with these tenants, but when they opened the window, they could hear the conversation of the people below. It was also a coincidence that Ah Xiu heard the tenants talk about the assassination of Shen Chen and the killing of three gunmen.

Hearing it exactly, Ah Xiu told Yujuan again, Yujuan was anxious and worried, and went to ask Damei again.

In this way, Yujuan knew that her brother did not tell a lie, and he really offended many people, and he was not an ordinary person. They all have guns, and this alone is enough to make Yujuan worried.

Watching Yujuan go upstairs, Da Mei felt a little apprehensive.

Although Shen Chen gave her the phone number of her new residence, he also said that there was nothing particularly urgent, so don't call.

Before dinner, Yujuan went to Da Mei again, so that Da Mei couldn't even cook. It's good to talk about it, and finally agreed to fight again after eating.

When the call came, it was He Xiaoyan who answered.

Although he set up the phone, with Shen Chen's explanation, almost no one called in to find him, but he occasionally called to find someone. Then there was the patrol room that came in once, and there was a more urgent case, and Shen Chen had to deal with it.

He Xiaoyan called Shen Chen over, and while arranging the dishes and chopsticks, she heard a few words.

"Who is Da Mei?" Shen Chen sat down at the table to eat, and He Xiaoyan asked casually.

"It's a maid." Shen Chen told him about renting a house, watched by the maid, being the second landlord, and a few villagers from his hometown coming to take refuge.

"Ah, you're really money-minded." He Xiaoyan said with a smile: "There is a second landlord over there, and this side is also a second landlord." It's just that you probably didn't expect to make much money by hiring tenants like me and Dani, right? ”

"Making money is one thing, but I also like to be quiet." Shen Chen said: "Besides, I've been promoted to detective, can I still have no extra income like a small patrol?" So, I don't care about that little money anymore. ”

"You're pretty straightforward." He Xiaoyan said: "Additional income? Well, it's more accurate to call it gray income, right? ”

Shen Chen waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter what it's called, anyway, I can take it with peace of mind." ”

He Xiaoyan pursed her lips and said, "Let's eat." I don't say much, and when you say it, you will prevaricate with the sentence 'what kind of good person you are to me', and I will be speechless. ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "I won't come back tomorrow night to eat." Invite a few fellows to have a meal, I've been here for a few days, and I haven't seen them, which is really a bit unusual. ”

"Got it." He Xiaoyan suddenly smiled and said: "That maid named Da Mei is really lucky, she has a place to live, food to eat, and a job to earn." I envy her! ”

Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, stopped his chopsticks, and asked suspiciously, "You're not hinting, because I eat the food you cooked, and I want to give you a gongtian, right?" ”

He Xiaoyan blinked, thought about it thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm not so stingy." ”

Shen Chen felt that this was a little wrong, she was not stingy, could it be that she was stingy?

"Well, the rent is free." Shen Chen waved his hand, recharged his generosity, and raised his eyebrows at He Xiaoyan, "I'm not so stingy." ”

He Xiaoyan smiled happily, thanked her, and then secretly rejoiced that the conspiracy had succeeded.

……………

After getting off work the next day, Shen Chen drove around according to his habit. He didn't find anything unusual, so he went to a restaurant next to Shikumen's residence, ordered a few dishes, packed them in a food box, and then went home.

Yujuan talked to her brother on the phone yesterday and felt a lot more relieved, but she was still anxious to see her brother, and she could finally rest assured by seeing it with her own eyes.

As soon as Shen Chen went upstairs, Yujuan, who was waiting anxiously, greeted him, looked and touched, and asked in his mouth, and tears almost fell.

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't even hurt a single hair!" Shen Chen was also very moved, after all, this is the true expression of affection, he patted his sister's shoulder, and touched her hair, moderately expressing the closeness of his brother and sister.

"When I heard someone shoot you, I was so worried that I couldn't even sleep." Yujuan grabbed her brother's arm and didn't let go, "The villains all have guns, or three, just thinking about it will scare you to death." ”

Shen Chen smiled, stretched out his hand to say hello to Erzhu and Ah Xiu, who came out of the voice, and sat down directly in the dining room.

Two large food boxes are opened, and the same dishes are put on the table, with elbows, chicken, fish and other dishes bubbling with fragrance, as well as hot dumplings, which make people salivate.

"Brother, these good dishes cost a lot of money!" Yujuan wants to eat, but also feels sorry for money.

Shen Chen smiled: "It didn't cost a few dollars. As I said, I'm going to treat you to a big meal. I thought it was convenient at home, so I didn't go to the restaurant. Come, eat it while it's hot, and you're welcome. ”

According to Shen Chen's explanation last night, Da Mei made some rice, made a soup, and served it.

Shen Chen looked at these relatives, although it was only a few days and it was impossible to gain weight, but their faces were much better.

Ah Xiu was still very reserved, holding a bowl of rice and eating it in small bites, only holding the dish in front of him.

Shen Chen picked up the public chopsticks and gave each sister and Ah Xiu a chicken leg first. While eating, he kept giving the two of them elbows and dumplings.

"The landlord's family can't eat such good food." Yujuan nibbled on the chicken, sighed, and asked Shen Chen, "Brother, the villains won't come to harm you again, right?" ”

"Not anymore." Shen Chen smiled and comforted: "If you scare their dog guts once, how dare you come again?" ”

Yujuan knew that it was comfort, but her heart was somewhat relaxed. Next to her brother, she felt grounded and smiled.

"Brother Chen—" Ah Xiu plucked up his courage and said, "You can find me a job to do!" It's not a problem to be idle all day. ”

"And me." Erzhu swallowed the dumplings in his mouth hard, and then said: "I asked Damei, and she said that pulling a rickshaw is the easiest and easiest way. I have the strength and my legs and feet are fine. ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, you guys get used to it first, and I'll keep an eye on you." ”

Yujuan said: "Ah Xiu is helping Da Mei with her work, learning and doing at the same time. ”

"That's good." Shen Chen was perfunctory and said to Ah Xiu: "It's not as good as my hometown, and even cooking is different, but I have to learn to do it!" ”

"And Yujuan." Shen Chen turned to the girl and said, "Learn from Da Meiduo, and in the future, this rent will have to be handed over to you, and you have to calculate how to spend it, and you are the master." ”

Yujuan showed a look of embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "With your fingers, you can still count a few counts." If it's too much, I'm afraid I can't figure it out. ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "That's why you want to learn, follow Damei out to buy vegetables, buy rice, and pay electricity bills and phone bills, isn't it all learning and exercising?" After a long time, it will come naturally. ”

Yujuan smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.

As he spoke, the sound of a child crying could be heard in the house. Yujuan hurriedly went in and picked up the little doll who had just woken up.

The little doll has changed a lot in the past few days, her face has become ruddy, and her crying voice has become louder.

Yujuan held it in her arms and coaxed her, while Ah Xiu consciously went to make milk powder and stuffed it in the child's mouth.

"It's delicious!" Shen Chen touched the little doll's face with his hand and smiled happily.

"When you eat and drink, you cry." Yujuan seemed to be very annoyed when she said it, but her face was that kind of maternal affection, and she patted the little baby's feet.
