Chapter 9: Shocking
Back in the dark room, Zhou Lin quickly fell asleep.
Until a phone rang, Zhou Lin woke up from his sleep.
It was a bald call, and all the people couldn't find Zhou Lin, only he was able to find it.
"Section Chief, Master Chang is here, and Kobayashi Taijun is also here."
"What time is it?" Zhou Lin wondered why these people were so active.
"It's half past nine. Come back soon, Kobayashi Taijun is angry. The bald head said.
Zhou Lin was startled, immediately jumped up from the bed, ran outside, and drove the car away.
Along the way, it was a lightning speed, and finally arrived at an office building.
As soon as he entered the building, Zhou Lin came to the front of the Ministry of Small Forestry: "Xiaolinjun, I'm sorry, I overslept." ”
The small forestry department knew the relationship between Zhou Lin and the head of the agency, but he just snorted coldly and didn't talk about anything more, this Zhou Lin has no concept of time, and he has worked in the detective department.
Chang Liang smiled and asked, "How many did you find last night?" ”
Zhou Lin's face was straight: "Master Chang, what did you say?" I'm just a little tired, how did I think about that? ”
"I rummaged through the pearl and couldn't find your person, and the bald head didn't say the address. Where else can you go if you don't go there? ”
Zhou Lin raised his hand and made a wave, and Master Chang smiled and did not speak again.
Zhou Lin looked at Master Chang: "Cash?" ”
Master Chang patted the suitcase in front of him: "It's all here." ”
"Let's go!" Zhou Lin took the lead and walked towards the dock.
On board, a total of five dinghys flew to the freighter in the open sea.
Smith and the captain greet them on the freighter.
"Dude! What to drink? Smith asked.
"Not in the mood! Why don't you come into the port? Zhou Lin asked.
"It's expensive to enter the port, and it's a lot of trouble." The captain told the truth.
"Where's the goods?" Zhou Lin scanned the entire surface of the ship and found no goods.
"Where's the money?" Smith didn't answer where the goods were, but asked for money.
Master Chang put down the suitcase and took two steps back: "Please check the money." ”
Smith tilted his head, and a crew member went up and opened the suitcase, in which stacks of dollars lay in lies.
"It's real money!" The crew member counted after checking the money: "The purchase price is correct." ”
As soon as Smith beckoned, a crew member opened a hole of five or six square meters from the middle deck, and the five people on it pulled up a large net with all their might.
In the net is a box of goods, and the outer packaging is "Pennidonlin".
Division Commander Chang asked a young officer to come forward to inspect the goods.
Soon, the officer shouted in surprise: "It's Penitonlin of American origin." ”
Master Chang pushed the box in front of Smith with his foot, pointed to the goods in the net, and said, "Take the money!" I'll take the goods! ”
Smith smiled and twisted the box: "The money and goods are clear!" If you have time, I'll invite you to a glass of wine. Made in France. ”
Master Chang clenched his fists: "That wine is boring!" I like to drink the second pot head. Leave! ”
Zhou Lin also said goodbye to Smith, and after the cargo was transferred to the dinghy, he jumped into the dinghy with Commander Chang, and the dinghy headed towards the dock.
"Why are you still here?" Zhou Lin faced the wind.
"I was pulled up by Kobayashi Taijun in bed." Master Chang said helplessly.
The dinghy docked, the cargo was quickly pulled onto the van, and the Ministry of Small Forestry drove out of the dock with ten gendarmes escorting the van.
Zhou Lin found that as soon as the goods left, the idlers at the dock walked three-quarters of the way at once.
Many people have bulging waists, and they know that they are guns at a glance.
It seems that Yamada is not lying, and many people with a heart are eyeing this big fat meat.
Zhou Lin had a check in his pocket, 25,000 US dollars, which was the intermediary fee that Master Chang secretly stuffed into him just now.
Zhou Lin drove away from the dock and came to Smith's residence.
"Here's the commission for you!" Smith gave Zhou Lin $40,000.
"Are you happy?" Zhou Lin asked while drinking red wine.
"I'd be happier if I could do it again." Smith clinks glasses with Zhou Lin.
"I'm sure I'll do it again in three months." Zhou Lin said with great confidence.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Smith sent Zhou Lin out.
"The freighter needs to be overhauled for three days, and on the 23rd, it will officially return. I've spoken to the captain. As soon as he heard that it was our friend's parents, he happily arranged a luxurious house. Smith boasted.
"Tell Mr. Captain that he is welcome to come to me next time with the goods." Zhou Lin opened the car door.
"I'm going to be looking for you." Smith kept waving Zhou Lin away.
After Zhou Lin left, he went directly to the gendarmerie headquarters without delay.
Zhou Lin took out fifty-five thousand dollars and pushed them all on Yamada's table.
"Isn't it only six percent?" Yamada asked with a smile.
"Master Chang gave twenty-five thousand dollars."
Yamada praised: "It's quite honest!" How much do you want? ”
Zhou Lin: "I will hand over $30,000 to the Gendarmerie Headquarters, and the other $25,000, and ask Uncle Yamada to hand it over to my grandparents on my behalf, so that they can eat better." ”
"Hmmm! Not bad! Yamada patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder: "It just so happens that someone will return to Japan tomorrow, and I will ask them to give it to the teacher in person." ”
"Thank you!" Zhou Lin bowed and said, "There is one more thing to report to you." ”
"Say!" Yamada waited for Zhou Lin's report.
Zhou Lin will use the name of the Zhou family to go through customs clearance and earn customs clearance fees from it.
"Something wrong with their goods?" Yamada asked.
"If there is a problem, I will definitely not let it go. Those goods that are on both sides, I say it has a problem, it has a problem. If you don't pay, you can't get out. In addition, some goods need to be hurried, and if you don't pay the money, it becomes a slow walk. This has always been the case. Fifty percent of the money collected was given to the Gendarmerie Command, 25 percent was handed over to the department, and the remaining 25 percent was retained in a section as a subsidy for expenses. ”
In fact, Zhou Lin was going to make fake accounts, and 20% of his income would be accounted for, and the rest would be handled by himself.
Yamada: "Let's try it first, the key thing is: you can't put illegal drugs out of the pearl." ”
"Yes!"
Leaving the gendarmerie headquarters, Zhou Lin returned to his parents' residence.
Zhou Huaxun liked to come out to greet her, while her parents stood at the door and watched the two of them fighting.
"This is the material for household registration after arriving in the United States, as well as the bank deposit certificate." Zhou Lin took it out and handed it to his mother.
"And the fifty thousand dollars." Zhou Lin called out to his mother who was going to put things away.
"You don't keep a little money?" Mother asked.
"I have a big fat shortage now, and if I say I don't have money, no one in the world will believe it." Zhou Lin laughed at himself.
Father: "I know you're measured, but I say, don't let people ......"
Without waiting for his father to finish speaking, Zhou Lin said: "I know! Rest assured. ”
"It's late at night in the United States. That's right! If you call me in the future, you must remember that this is 12 hours away from the United States. Don't call me at noon in the United States, when it's time for the child. ”
"Eat here at noon?" The mother's eyes revealed hope.
"Eat here, I want to eat my mother's cooking."
"Then I'll prepare your favorite dish." The mother lifted her feet and left.
"Lin'er, take me around the outside of the Zhou family's compound." My father hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.
When my mother heard this, she ran out and sighed: "Let's go and see, this time, I don't know what year and month it is." ”
Zhou Lin stood up: "Isn't my mother going?" ”
Fang Qiuqiu sat still: "I'm not going!" Flowers stay with me at home. ”
Zhou Lin knew that the Zhou family had broken his mother's heart.
The car circled outside the Zhou family's compound, and the father suddenly said, "Find a place where no one is around, and I'll tell you something." ”
Zhou Lin drove the car to the dark room and came to the basement of the dark room.
"Is it safe here?" My father was still not at ease.
Zhou Lin checked again and again: "No one can hear our conversation. ”
Zhou Siyuan took a sip of red wine: "Remember two months ago, I went out for seven days?" ”
"Remember! Mother also had a fight with you. Zhou Lin said with a smile.
"I'm looking for our roots." Zhou Siyuan said.
"You're saying you've found grandpa." Zhou Lin said in surprise.
"I found it, but your grandparents died. Our family is ours, and there is no one else. Zhou Siyuan cried.
"Where is our hometown? I'm going to definitely check it out. Zhou Lin said excitedly.
Finding roots is the hope of father and son.
"Fenghua Xikou, Ningbo, Zhejiang." Zhou Siyuan's words surprised Zhou Lin.
"That's Jiang ...... Hometown! ”
"It's also our hometown." Zhou Siyuan affirmed.
"We are related to him by blood?" Zhou Lin asked worriedly.
"Nope!" Zhou Siyuan's words made Zhou Lin's heart settle down.
But Zhou Siyuan's next sentence made Zhou Lin almost jump off the building.
"But your grandfather has taken care of Jiang ** for more than ten years."
"Why is that?" Zhou Lin called out.
"Your grandfather saved him once when he was a kid. After my disappearance, your grandmother couldn't stand the blow and died young. Just your grandfather lives alone. Later, he knew your grandfather's situation, so he arranged for someone to take care of your grandfather, until last year, your grandfather died, and he still asked him to do the funeral. Zhou Siyuan said gratefully.
"Is Grandpa's surname Jiang?"
"No, your grandfather's surname is Mao, and we are both surnamed Mao. When I arrived in the United States, I changed my surname to Mao. ”
Zhou Lin immediately said: "No! As soon as you change your surname, the Japanese will find out about our family's relationship with him. The United States also has Japanese spies. ”
Zhou Siyuan looked very unwilling, sitting there smoking.
"When the Japanese leave, I promise to change back to the surname Mao, and our family will vigorously go to incense my grandfather and recognize our ancestors in front of his old man."
"Good! We'll just wait for that day. Zhou Siyuan's heart knot was untied.
The father and son took a sip of wine from each other, and Zhou Siyuan's unhappiness for more than a month also dissipated.
"Lin'er, how to go on your road, I don't need to say. I'm sure you can get hold of it. Zhou Siyuan looked at Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin nodded: "I know who I am!" ”
"Also, if you have the opportunity in the future, thank him for taking care of your grandfather on my behalf."
Zhou Lin said strangely: "Father, who is he?" Who am I? He and I are from two worlds, and I don't have a chance to thank him. ”
Zhou Siyuan smiled: "I have studied the I Ching for more than 20 years, and I have some experience. Otherwise, you won't be able to find your grandfather. Trust me, you'll meet one day. And you'll save him again. ”
Zhou Lin stretched out his hand and tried his father's forehead: "Father, you don't have a fever?" ”
Zhou Siyuan knocked on Zhou Lin's head: "It's not big or small, let's see." I have only one request, if you can save him, be sure to save him. We should pay off our family's debts. ”
"Know! Be sure to save! Do you tell your mother about this? ”
Zhou Siyuan shook his head: "When I get to the United States, I'll tell her when I have the opportunity." Tell her now, and only add to her troubles. ”
Zhou Lin was secretly amused, his mother was also preparing to go to the United States, so he told his father about his uncle, and in the dark, they all had an agreement.
Zhou Lin knew the grievances and grievances between Jiang ** and his own organization, and he didn't know how to face it, but fortunately, now, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are resisting Japan, and the relationship has eased a lot.
Of course, there was one thing he understood, he was a communist and that he would dedicate his life to the cause of communism.
Coming out of the dark room, Zhou Siyuan's mood changed a lot.
So much so that when eating, my mother kept staring at my father.
After eating, when Zhou Lin returned to the dock, he deliberately went to the place of the dead mailbox.
The letter had been taken, and there was a garden ring with a fork in the outer pole of the dead letterbox.
This is a signal to meet, and Li Qiang wants to see himself.
Zhou Lin hurriedly turned the head of the car and drove towards the telephone and telegraph office.
Along the way, he made a few turns, and when he was sure that there was no tail behind him, he stopped outside the telegraph office and went inside. And then only go out.
Back to the car, he was about to open the door when he stumbled upon a bookstore.
So he walked towards the bookstore.
As soon as he entered the bookstore, he saw Li Qiang sitting there settling accounts.
"Shopkeeper, is there a fine version of "Dream of Red Mansions"?" Zhou Lin turned around and asked.
"There's a set in it, do you want to see it?" Li Qiang looked up.
"Check it out!" Zhou Lin followed Li Qiang into the backyard.
"The organization has agreed to send another person to Mingzhu to discuss the matter of the batch of white cloth with Chang Liang. Someone will arrive at the Pearl tomorrow. ”
"Is it our comrade?" Zhou Lin asked.
"No, it's a merchant in Beiping, and we take the goods from him."
"Beiping is here by car, and I won't be able to arrive tomorrow." Zhou Lin reminded.
"The others are in Nanjing now, and the train will go to Mingzhu tomorrow."
"Is there anything I need to do?" Zhou Lin asked.
"Inform Chang Liang and ask him to send someone to pick him up at the train station tomorrow, this is the information of the businessman. The rest is none of your business. Li Qiang said.
Zhou Lin originally wanted to report what his father said to the organization, but a customer shouted in the store, Li Qiang was busy going out to receive customers, and Zhou Lin had to leave the bookstore.
