Chapter 390: Roundabout Searching
It happened that the Japanese sentry had seen Li Yixin and knew that this person was Nomura Shaosa's guest, so he did not stop Li Yixin from approaching, but picked up the phone at the sentry post and reported to Nomura Hideki.
Hideki Nomura, who was busy with official business, was a little surprised when he heard that Li Yixin was coming on crutches, but he still ordered the sentry to let Li Yixin in and find someone to follow Li Yixin up the stairs, so as not to repeat Li Yixin's injuries after he fell.
After a while, Li Yixin finally walked into Nomura Hideshu's office, and as soon as Nomura Hideki saw Li Yixin, he first hurriedly beckoned Li Yixin to sit on the sofa, and also ran a cup of tea for Li Yixin and brought it to Li Yixin to put down.
At this time, Nomura Hideki asked Li Yixin with some doubts: "Li Sang, your legs and feet are inconvenient, why don't you rest at home, and you still come to me?" ”
Li Yixin replied with a smile: "Nomura-kun, my injury has improved greatly, and this is the conclusion reached by the doctor from the Imperial Army Military Hospital who personally came to examine me. I've been resting at home for more than half a month, and I've gained some weight by either eating or sleeping all day. So I decided that I should go out for a walk, and today is the day I go back to work in the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Division, and I was a bit bored in the office, so I came to you to visit you. ”
"Oh, I see, I see. You came to me today to make sure there was nothing else? Nomura nodded, indicating that he understood.
It's just that Li Yixin's arrival this time made Nomura Hideki very happy, because he was worried about how to discuss the follow-up business between them with Li Yixin.
Since two consecutive businesses have made Hideki Nomura a lot of money, Hideki Nomura's appetite has also grown. He didn't want to just get by, but wanted to make more money, so he wanted to ask Li Yixin when it was time to make the next transaction.
And such a thing was said on the phone, but Hideki Nomura didn't dare. He was a little worried that the phone would be tapped, so from the beginning to the present, Hideki Nomura has adhered to the principle that he will never talk about business with Li Yixin on the phone, but must have two people talk face-to-face.
Today's sudden visit by Li Yixin finally gave Hideki Nomura a chance to discuss the next transaction with Li Yixin.
At this time, Li Yixin replied: "Actually, it's not that there is nothing at all, but I went to Murakami-kun's place today, and when I came out, I happened to see a big truck in your logistics office parked in the courtyard of the special high school, which seemed to be loaded with a lot of big boxes." It occurred to me that I hadn't been to you for a long time, and you had been busy lately and didn't have time to go to my house, so I wanted to come and have a good chat with you about our business. ”
"Hahahaha, according to you Chinese, this can be described as a hero's vision, and I was also trying to talk to you about when our next transaction will take place." If you don't see the car of our 18th Division Logistics Office today, don't you still remember to look for me? Hideki Nomura said jokingly.
"Yes, due to the inconvenience of my legs and feet, I stayed at home all day, and many things were delayed. I'm a little strange, why is it that the extra high school class is also starting to do business now? Still need to send cargo vehicles from your 18th Division's logistics department in Stone Town? Li Yixin deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"Li Sang, you think too much. How is it possible for a special high school to do business in private like we do? I did send out that truck, but this was also the kind of temporary call that Murakami-kun called me this morning, saying that he was going to the train station to pick up a batch of important goods. I thought the same strange thing as you at the time, thinking that Murakami-kun and the others were also starting to do business secretly. So at that time, I asked a few words on the phone. Murakami-kun said that this was a secret operation, and that it was related to the newly established 'Pine Agency' in Shanghai. Of course, he was also vague, and I didn't go any further, apparently thinking that I shouldn't know too much about the details of this covert operation. Nomura replied a little nonchalantly.
Picking up your goods at the train station? Or this morning? Wasn't that exactly the time when Qu Zhonghan was beaten? Now it's right!
Li Yixin continued to pretend to be casual and asked Hideki Nomura: "What is the origin of this 'pine mechanism'?" How can Murayama-kun pay so much attention to secrecy? ”
"You ask this? I really don't know the answer, but I've heard a little bit about this 'loose mechanism'. That is, this 'loose organ' was newly established by the War Department in Shanghai. According to the grapevine, this organ is specifically engaged in economic warfare against the Chongqing government. I guess the goods I picked up at the train station this morning should be related to the 'pine organ', but I don't know what the specific goods are, but the owner of the goods asked us to transport him and the goods to the special high class, which seems a little strange, this cargo owner has never walked out of the door of the special high class since he arrived at the special high class. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about what will start our next transaction, and what kind of materials the buyer is going to buy this time. ”
Hideki Nomura was obviously not very interested in the topic provoked by Li Yixin, but quickly brought the topic to the business between them.
Of course, Li Yixin understood what Nomura Hideki was most concerned about, and he had already made a basic judgment from Nomura Hideki's casual words, that is, the owner of the goods who beat Qu Zhonghan was a member of the newly established 'Pine Agency', and he had brought so many large boxes to Stone Town to carry out a secret mission.
Li Yixin finally had a little gain, he saw that Nomura Hideki had changed the topic, and he did not continue to delve into it, but replied according to Nomura Hideki's words: "Nomura-kun, this time there is a businessman who wants to purchase a few boxes of stockings. So I came to you today to ask Nomura-kun if you have any channels or ways to get such goods? ”
After listening to Li Yixin's words, Hideki Nomura was very moved in his heart. Because he knew very well that this kind of thing invented by Europeans and Americans was very popular, and few people on the market would have such goods.
But it is also the case, scarce is expensive, stockings are often priceless, who has this kind of thing, there will be a large number of people with banknotes to buy, not worried about not selling. So the stockings are a seller's market entirely.
According to Li Yixin's words, there are buyers who are willing to spend money on stockings, which makes Hideki Nomura very interested. Because of the smuggling of such goods, the risk will be very small, after all, the stockings are just a luxury and not a variety of sensitive equipment related to the military.
