Chapter 3: Promotions

The Detective Department was a busy mess, with phone calls and shouts everywhere.

Zhou Lin returned to his office and threw himself on the chair.

At this moment, Zhou Lin's heart was like fifteen buckets of waterβ€”seven up and eight down.

I wonder if the transaction will go smoothly after leaving the city? The little tree in the field doesn't give birth to any demon moths, right?

Was my uncle evacuated safely? Is it safe on the road?

"Team Leader!" The door was pushed open, revealing a bare head.

"Bald! Come on in! Zhou Lin lay on the chair, stilted his feet on the table, squinted at the door and said.

The bald head nodded and came in, picked up Zhou Lin's cup, and went to the water bottle to help refill the water.

Zhou Lin took the teacup handed to him by the bald head, took a sip of tea, and motioned for the bald head to sit down.

The bald head sat down with a flattering smile, and was about to speak, but Zhou Lin threw over a pack of cigarettes.

"Take it and smoke it!" Zhou Lin lit a cigarette and said.

"Thank you, team leader!" The bald head hurriedly tore open the package, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He took a puff and smoked a quarter of his cigarette.

The bald head is called Zhang Zhiqiang, and he is a member of Zhou Lin's group. is also the most intimate person with Zhou Lin.

"Team leader, you know what?" The bald head who came back to his senses asked.

"What's the matter? I'm also new to work. ”

"The intelligence head of the Communist Party has come to Pearl City."

Zhou Lin retracted his feet and stood up: "Why don't I know?" No one informed me. ”

The bald head said angrily, "They are hiding it from us." Our detective department captured a communist liaison and interrogated him for a day and a night, and finally brought his wife in before he spoke. ”

"Confessed?" Zhou Lin asked casually.

"Confessed! He was a traffic officer of the underground party in Mingzhu City, and according to him, a big cadre came to Yan'an, who came to meet those overseas Chinese. ”

"See?"

"See! Moreover, the overseas Chinese had already left yesterday. ”

"What about the big Communist Party cadres?" Zhou Lin was worried about finding Lotus Lane.

As long as you find Lotus Lane, some people will suspect that the collapsed wall.

"After meeting the overseas Chinese, the senior Communist Party official disappeared."

Zhou Lin: "Where did you go?" ”

"I don't know! Even their Pearl Municipal Party Committee does not know. Are they looking for someone too? The bald man smiled.

"The location of the Communist Party Pearl Municipal Committee, the renegade should know, right?"

"You know, he started to confess at noon today. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Hua and the second detachment followed the Japanese military police. ”

Zhou Lin said angrily: "It's the second detachment again, no matter how good things are, let them all take it." ”

The bald head also said angrily: "We don't have this good thing in our detachment." Blame our squad leader for being too soft. ”

Zhou Lin punched the table: "If Lao Tzu is the captain of the detachment, Xiang Hua is cool and where to stay." ”

The bald head stretched out his head: "Team leader, I heard the news, and the boss decided to let you be the captain of the first detachment." ”

"You know better than I know what I don't know?"

Bald head: "It was the secretary of the division who said that at noon today, when the second detachment was arranged to carry out the mission, your uncle, the director of the Yamada department, asked the director to arrange for you to be the captain of the first detachment." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there are good things, I will definitely not forget my brothers."

"Thank you, Team Leader! No, thank you Captain! ”

Zhou Lin looked at the time, it was half past three in the afternoon, and he had to go back and wait for the call.

"Bald, I'll go back and rest. Something called me, do you know where to call? ”

The bald head handed Zhou Lin a coat and hat: "I know!" Darkroom. ”

Zhou Lin patted his bald shoulder and left the detective office.

When we got to the dark room, it was 3:50.

Zhou Lin sat on the sofa and took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

took out the lighter and lit it, but it couldn't be used, so angry that Zhou Lin threw the lighter in the garbage basket, thought about it, and threw the cigarette in his mouth into the garbage basket.

"Tell ......"

The phone on the coffee table rang, startling Zhou Lin.

He pounced, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone.

"Sir, do you want puffer fish? We just fished out of the water, ten oceans. ”

Zhou Lin roared angrily: "Little red guy, go and deceive the ghosts!" The puffer fish is still wintering. Want to deceive Lao Tzu? No way! ”

After saying that, he put down the phone.

However, Zhou Lin, who put down the phone, smiled happily! Uncle is safe!

Zhou Lin, who was relieved, was about to go out.

The phone rang again, and he turned around and picked it up: "Which one?" ”

Zhou Chang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Lin, it's me!" ”

Zhou Lin immediately said seriously: "Captain......"

"How many times have I said that I was called brother outside the Detective Office!"

"Yes! Elder brother! You're not there? I've heard it's been a busy day. ”

"Flutter! The first two hours of our people went, they all ran. ”

"Is it empty? Or is it a fake address? Zhou Lin probed the wind.

"I'm sure it's empty! If you had known the address three hours earlier, it would have been a pot. ”

"It's a pity!" Zhou Lin sighed.

"Come and eat with me, Chunxianglou." Zhou Chang's tone indicated that he was in a bad mood.

"Yes! Twenty minutes to come! ”

Zhou Lin, who put down the phone, was not in a hurry to go out, but sorted out the situation of the day, and only after he had no problems did he go out and drive towards Chunxiang Building.

It took exactly twenty minutes to get to Chunxiang Building.

Zhou Lin came to the door of the luxury private hall on the third floor and saw Zhou Chang drinking tea.

Zhou Chang beckoned, and Zhou Lin came to sit down opposite Zhou Chang.

"Looks like the eldest brother is unhappy?" Zhou Lin took out a cigarette and found that he didn't bring the cigarette and lighter, so he took Zhou Chang's cigarette and lighter.

"It's not today's operation, when it comes to grabbing credit, the Operations Department and the Intelligence Department are more fierce than anyone else, but after the air is pounced, the responsibility is passed on to our Detective Department." Zhou Chang slapped the "horn" on the table.

"Why?" Zhou Lin asked with a grim head.

"They all said that if we had told them three hours earlier, none of the communists would have escaped." When Zhou Chang said this, he didn't get angry anymore and sat down depressedly.

"Who doesn't know that the Communist Party is more difficult to deal with than the military and the central government! We can still pry open the mouth of the Communists, and replace them, maybe they are still consumed. Zhou Lin said indignantly.

"Don't be angry! Fortunately, you led people to kill the four communists in the morning, and earned some breath for our detective department. Zhou Chang picked up his glass: "Come, cheers for the success of Lotus in the morning!" ”

Zhou Lin took one bite and said: "Big brother! This man's luck comes, and the door panel can't stop it. When I went, I didn't have much hope and was ready to go on an empty run. As soon as I rushed through the gate, a few gunshots rang out, and when I saw our people fall, I knew I had hit a big luck. ”

"Yes, Xiang Hua still regrets it, saying that if he knew about it, he wouldn't push it to you." Zhou Chang narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Lin laughed: "It turned out that he didn't want the credit, and he rewarded me." I said that he usually looks like a monkey, no, he is better than a monkey, why did he suddenly become Zhu Bajie? ”

Zhou Lin's words caused Zhou Chang to laugh: "He has always wanted to be promoted to deputy director, but he has no outstanding merits." If the credit for Lotus Lane is in hand, he will be the deputy director nine times out of ten. ”

"This kind of villain? If he had become the deputy director, the eldest brother would not have been so stable. ”

"Yes! That's why I proposed to Chief Yamada that you be promoted to the captain of the first detachment. What Zhou Chang said seemed to be true.

If he hadn't known the news from the bald head in advance, Zhou Lin might have been really confused by Zhou Chang's performance.

But Zhou Lin still took it seriously: "Thank you, big brother, for your support!" In a word, where the big brother points out, I will fight! ”

Zhou Chang picked up his glass: "Go to work tomorrow morning, and you will be the captain of the first detachment of the Detective Department." Congratulations! ”

Zhou Lin took one sip: "Everything is in this glass of wine." ”

Zhou Chang took a bite of food and watched Zhou Lin pour him wine: "When I have time, I met President Yamada, and I will say a few more kind words for me." ”

Zhou Lin patted his chest: "This Sunday, I may go to see him, and the old lady asked me to send some sushi to the director." I will definitely explain my eldest brother's difficulties to the head of the agency. ”

"Good!"

At this time, the door of the private room opened, and Zhou Chang's secretary Xiao Lin came in.

Seeing Zhou Lin there, he moved his mouth and didn't speak.

"What's the matter? There are no outsiders here, say! Zhou Chang glared at Secretary Lin.

"Director, I just got the news that the people from the Central Command will make a move to Team Leader Zhou tonight."

When Zhou Lin heard this, the chopsticks fell on the table.

"Brother!" Zhou Chang shouted with concern.

Zhou Lin came back to his senses: "Big brother, do me a favor." ”

"You say, as long as I can do it, I will do it." Zhou Chang said briskly.

"Please take my parents to the Zhou family compound."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, and arrange for someone to protect them."

"No need, I've already arranged a place, people have already picked it up, and someone is there to protect it."

The sound from the door made the three people in the private room immediately stand upright.

"Chief." The three saluted.

Yamada waved his hand, and the others retreated, leaving only three people in the private room.

Yamada sat down and looked at Zhou Lin: "You are now in the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." ”

Zhou Lin said loudly: "Hang up, hang up, let them come!" As long as my parents are safe, I am not afraid of them. ”

Yamada nodded appreciatively: "I know, your biggest weakness now is your parents." Any plans? ”

"I'm worried that they won't be able to help me and take revenge on my parents." Zhou Lin's face showed an anxious look.

"Let them go back to Japan." Zhou Chang came up with an idea.

"No, if you go back to Japan, if you say something wrong, it will bring danger to my grandparents." Zhou Lin denied it.

Yamada thought for a moment: "One, if you can't stay in Shina, their assassination will be endless. Second, Japan can't go, so they will still send people to go, which is a threat to teachers. Third, you can only choose a third country, hide there for a while, and come back when the rumors subside. ”

"Which third country to go to?" Zhou Lin scratched his head.

"Germany and the United States." Yamada made an observation.

Zhou Lin took two steps: "Germany is at war and is not safe. Also, my parents didn't know German, so life was very difficult. ”

Yamada agreed: "Then go to the United States, your parents can speak English, and they will soon integrate into society, so that they can find a place to live in seclusion, even if the Communist Party of China goes to the United States, it will be difficult to find." ”

Zhou Lin loosened his brows: "I'll go to the concession to find that American car dealer." The last time he was kidnapped by bandits, I led someone to rescue him. If he doesn't help, unless he doesn't want to do business in Mingzhu anymore. ”

"Yes, that's a good idea! As long as he still wants to do business in Mingzhu, he must arrange his uncle and aunt. Zhou Chang agreed.

"Is it enough to go to the U.S.?" Yamada stared at Zhou Lin.

"Uncle Yamada, I won't hide it from you, I did some business and made some money. That's enough for my parents to live in the U.S. for three or five years. Zhou Lin said embarrassedly.

Yamada stiffened his face: "You think I don't know about your abduction business?" If it weren't for your parents' lives, I would have given them permission to raid your house. ”

"Brother Lin, why don't you say that you are short of money? With my brother here, you won't be short of money. In this way, my uncle and aunt went to the United States, and I paid 100,000 US dollars. Zhou Chang hurriedly said.

Yamada smiled, and Zhou Chang understood what he meant. With 100,000 US dollars, you can live a relatively wealthy life in the United States. If it is convenient, let the teacher and his wife also go to the United States.

"Three days later, there was a cruise ship to the United States. You go to the Americans tomorrow and ask him to come forward to book a ticket, and you don't come forward, in case the news leaks. And this thing can no longer be known. Yamada looked at Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang swore: "I just keep my mouth shut even when I sleep!" ”

"Alright! It's arranged. Let's talk about the next thing, tonight's action schedule. Yamada picked up the glass on the table and sniffed it.

Zhou Lin immediately said, "I'm going to ask for sake." ”

With that, Zhou Lin walked out of the private room and beckoned to Xiao Er outside the private room.

"Gongzi Zhou!" Xiao Er hurriedly trotted up.

"The most authentic and best sake." Zhou Lin waved his hand and asked Xiao Er to do it quickly.

Soon, Xiao Er came up with wine, Zhou Lin took out a wine glass, poured a glass of sake, and let Xiao Er drink it.

Three minutes later, Xiao Er left without any trouble, and Zhou Lin entered the private room with sake.

Yamada likes wine, which Zhou Lin knew from his mother.

Outsiders don't know, because outside, Yamada never drinks.

Zhou Lin poured himself a glass of sake and drank it in front of Yamada: "Uncle Yamada, this family has authentic sake, my mother has come here to buy it a few times." ”

Yamada picked up the sake cup, poured a glass and drank: "Well, it's really good!" Where did they get this wine? ”

Zhou Lin said softly: "It flowed out of the 18th Division. ”

Yamada knew about it, and didn't say anything more: "Tonight's plan is not to dispatch the imperial army, and all of it will be handled by your detective department." If there are not enough personnel, members of the Intelligence Service and the Operational Team can participate. ”

Zhou Chang thought for a while: "Chief, you don't need help. I'm in the detective department. ”

Zhou Lin: "Yes, I'll be the bait, all the way home, and all the people in the detachment are ambushed in my house." ”

Zhou Chang continued: "I will lead the second team to attack together, and the third team will support 500 meters outside. As long as they come, let them stay forever. ”
