didn't have the usual heavy makeup of women at that time, and if you didn't even look carefully, you couldn't see that Chu Jiao had put on makeup.

The hair is black and smooth, but the front is so simple to comb to the sides, the forehead is scattered, and the back of the head is loosely tied; Pale pink shirt with small lace, loose white pants......

It's not very accurate, but it's not quite the same as the skirts and cheongsams that women were used to wearing at that time. Moreover, it makes people look very foreign at first glance, and it is the appearance of a rich lady.

"Miss Chu is brilliant, and she is really like two people when she first met." Ma Mingyu complimented: "In the lonely military camp, I don't dare to admit it." ”

"At that time, I was disgraced, and of course I couldn't see the true face."

Chu Jiao praised others that she was good-looking, beautiful, and already had immunity, and she didn't care whether it was a compliment or sincerity, she just smiled faintly, "When it comes to brilliance, it's really a prize." ”

"Natural, fresh, beautiful, and well-deserved." Ma Mingyu didn't say anything else.

Sensitive, sensitive, suspicious, cautious, and of course, ruthless when sniping devils.

But seeing Chu Jiao giving alms to beggars in the ancient temple, Ma Mingyu redefined the object of coldness back to the Japanese.

"That's all?" Chu Jiao took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile, "Is it worth it for these?" My conditions are both many and harsh, and I also need you to mobilize manpower and material resources to help get things done. I don't want to join the organization yet, I just want to exist as a supernumerary or a hired person, do you think it's worth it? ”

"It's worth it!"

Ma Mingyu is not duplicitous, and things have come to this point, he doesn't want to be too pressed, and wants to change slowly.

Because, Chu Jiao's temperament, he thinks he still knows something.

"Miss Chu is the most outstanding woman I have ever met, and this alone is worth it." Ma Mingyu continued: "What's more, doesn't Miss Chu still want to surprise me? ”

Chu Jiao basically believed in Ma Mingyu, at least for the time being, it would not be unfavorable to her.

What's more, she and Shen Chen, as well as Zhao Youcai and Zhang Chengfu, will also need the resources and intelligence of the military commander in the future. Ma Mingyu can make so many concessions, and she also has to have dealings.

……………

The zodiac will be finished.

Even if it can be organized again, it will not be possible to do it in a short period of time and start to act.

Shen Chen knew about this, but the news didn't come out, so he could only continue to mix in the special patrol team.

Because Chu Jiao was receiving special training from Ma Mingyu, Shen Chen also got a relaxed time. Going to work, getting off work, patrolling, very regular work and rest.

I leave work that night, and tomorrow is my day off. Luo Deng suddenly found Shen Chen and invited him to the dance hall to enjoy it, along with several members of the special patrol.

Shen Chen hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and made an appointment with Luo Deng and the others on the time and place.

This is not the first time Luo Deng has invited, and Shen Chen feels that if he always refuses, it will be too out of place.

Moreover, Shen Chen will have to act at night in the future, so if he goes home so late, going to a dance hall or nightclub can be regarded as an excuse.

Shen Chen went home for dinner first, and bought a few books on the way.

Booksellers, or street vendors, were easy to find in Shanghai at the time. They all carry a kind of bookshelf that can be folded in half and solicit business on the streets.

This is also Shen Chen's preparation, pretending to read and study often, to lay a foundation for the future, or to find a reasonable explanation.

After dinner, Shen Chen told Da Mei that she might have to come back very late, so she didn't have to wait for him, so she went back upstairs to rest.

In order to be able to enter and exit quietly in the future, and try not to alarm others, Shen Chen replaced the latch of the back door with iron chains and locks.

In this way, the door can be pushed open a gap, and people can't get in, but they can reach out and unlock it from the outside.

There are now six tenants living in the house, and in addition to the female teacher who lives in the miscellaneous room, the storage room is also rented to a teacher, a man.

Obviously, Shen Chen didn't have that much time to receive tenants, while Professor Luo preferred to teach as a scholar.

There are too many tenants, and the original stove in the kitchen is not enough.

Shen Chen asked the mason to add two more stove eyes, and added a folding bed in the living room, so that Da Mei could move there to sleep. You can also answer the phone and call someone.

Up to now, Shen Chen, the second landlord, deserves his name.

The surplus rent can also cover his salary as a patrolman, and even if he has no job, he does not worry about eating and drinking.

Of course, Shen Chen still likes his current profession, and he can openly compete with spies and thugs in the concession, which is still a good cover for his identity!

At nine o'clock, Shen Chen began to dress and clean up. In addition to wearing a special patrol gun, the Continental Picker, he also tied a dagger and the 6.35mm Browning pistol to his calf.

Lao Tzu is a patrolman, and the chance of being searched is simply too small.

After getting dressed, Shen Chen went downstairs without alarming others, walked out of the back door, and went straight to the dance hall.

After Shanghai became an isolated island, there was a large influx of people, there were not a few people with net worth, and cheap labor was everywhere.

As a result, the concession soon became an incredible economic center in the Far East, with factories and a deformed boom.

Brothels, wine shops, singing houses, and dance halls also flourished, especially dance halls. The lights are bright and green, and the sound of swallows and warblers attracts countless men and women to indulge in this.

Punctuality is one of Shen Chen's habits, but Luo Deng and the others obviously don't have this good concept.

When he arrived at the dance hall, Shen Chen first went to buy a dance ticket, and then sat in the foyer, smoking and waiting.

A dance ticket is not an admission ticket, but the equivalent of a voucher. Dancers will give the dancers one or two tickets for a dance, and then the dancers will settle accounts with the ballroom with the tickets.

At that time, the ticket prices of cinemas and cinemas were only a few dimes, and one yuan was already a high-priced ticket.

In contrast, dance tickets are expensive, and dance tickets for first-class dance halls are usually one yuan, three per book, and each one can invite a girl to dance once.

The second-rate dance hall is one yuan and five dances, the third-rate one yuan and seven dances, and the non-mainstream ones are cheaper, with one yuan and ten or even fifteen dances.

But dancers are usually familiar with dancers, and they are embarrassed to tear up only one ticket, so they will always give a few more, or even one for each dance, and they have to add extra stuff if they want to get involved.

Add to that other expenses, such as champagne and refreshments, which will cost tens or hundreds of dollars, so that you can imagine how much you spend every night.

At that time, one yuan could buy seven or eight hairy crabs, and sometimes the dancers laughed at themselves that they were "not as valuable as crabs", but they were much higher than the average citizen.

Of course, if it's a red dancer, it's not something that one or two dance tickets can send away. It is also common for the prodigal son of the bee butterfly to use a lot of money to please him.

Therefore, some red dancers live a very luxurious life, there are cars to pick them up, and they do not sit on the stage after arriving at the dance hall, and there are specially arranged rooms for her to rest. When invited by dancers, the style can be compared to that of a movie star.
