It was another newspaper, which made Zhou Lin nervous.

"Second brother, there was a big flood in Anqing's house, and Goth came to find his brother to get back 57 pieces of ocean to make a living. My brother is temporarily living in the church on Sichuan Road, so come and see me. ”

The whole notice, on the surface, there is no problem.

But it just so happened that there was no problem, because of the meaning in the middle, Zhou Lin understood it at a glance.

Kyungdae appears in a sentence, which means that this is Dai Li's person.

Inside the Sichuan Road Church as written, it is not at the church joint, but outside the church, at No. 13 Sichuan Road.

The meaning of recovery is double subtraction. Even numbers 22, 44, 66, 57 are less than 66, and can only be 22, 44. 57 minus 22 equals number 35, and 57 minus 44 is number 13.

The number 35 can also be double-subtracted, and the number after subtraction is also 13.

Zhou Lin remembered that No. 13 was a calligraphy and painting shop, and there were many celebrity calligraphy and paintings.

Zhou Lin once went there to buy Yamada a painting of cattle herding by an early Qing painter.

57 minus 24 hours is equal to 33, 33 can be subtracted again, and another 24 hours is 9.

Today and tomorrow at 9 a.m., No. 13 Sichuan Road.

That's what this notice is about.

Zhou Lin looked at the time, 8:30, the time was just available.

In the name of going out for breakfast, Zhou Lin drove to the "Calligraphy and Painting Hall" on Sichuan Road.

Along the way, Zhou Lin paid great attention to whether there was a tail behind him.

After confirming that there was none, he parked the car next to the door of the "Calligraphy and Painting Hall".

"Boss, is there a picture of Tang Bohu's ugly girl?" Before Zhou Lin's people entered the door, their voices could be heard left and right.

A forty-five or sixteen-year-old man in the store was cleaning, ignoring Zhou Lin.

"What about you? Why not answer? Zhou Lin's angry voice.

"Childe, I only heard that Tang Bohu can draw pictures of ladies, and those ladies are all beautiful women, but I have never heard of Tang Bohu painting ugly women."

"Yes, yes! That's the lady picture! But the woman in the painting is too thin and has no sense of flesh, of course she is an ugly girl. Zhou Lin is reasonable.

The men on the left and right laughed when they heard it, but the women on the left and right puffed up their chests: How about it, a plump woman like Lao Niang is a beauty.

In fact, the conversation between the two has already completed the joint code.

Zhou Lin took the pen on the table and wrote down the words "Fifteen o'clock in the statue of a fisherwoman in Suzhou Creek Park".

After the shopkeeper saw it, he took out a match and lit a cigarette, and burned the note at the same time.

Zhou Lin walked out angrily, and kicked the door of the store before leaving.

"I don't even have Tang Bohu's fat girl paintings, and I dare to call it "Calligraphy and Painting Hall", so it's better to sell xiaolongbao instead. ”

After speaking, Zhou Lin drove away from Sichuan Road.

At nine o'clock, Zhou Lin sat in the triangle, and Li Qiang was back to back.

"Dai's man has arrived! At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, make an appointment to meet at Suzhou Creek Park. Zhou Lin said softly.

"Be careful! We'll talk to me in the evening. After Li Qiang finished speaking, he left the "black café".

Zhou Lin didn't move, still drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

At half past ten, Zhou Lin returned to the dock and returned to the office.

When he parked the car, Zhou Lin saw the bald head smoking and making candy everywhere.

He went into the office, and the bald head also entered the office, and put a small bag on the table.

"What's that?" Zhou Lin opened the small bag, and there were fifty oceans inside.

Zhou Lin pointed to the ocean: "Borrowed it, right?" Get it back for me! After following me for more than a year, I still don't know my temper, when did I suck the blood of my brothers? ”

Bald head: "I can't afford to invite you to dinner, so I'll give you some money for coffee." ”

Zhou Lin: "If I take your money, I will treat you as an outsider, do you still want me to collect these dozens of oceans?" ”

When the bald head heard this, he hurriedly put away Dayang, took out a cigarette and a pack of sugar, and timidly handed it to the table.

Zhou Lin smiled: "This is the joy of tobacco and candy for your promotion, I will accept it!" Rejoice, rejoice! ”

"If it weren't for the director, I would still be working as a minion in the detective department who gets five oceans a month. How can you think of the beauty difference of the deputy section chief. The bald head said gratefully.

Zhou Lin took out a piece of candy and put it in his mouth: "Although it is the deputy section chief, the affairs of the three departments are all under your control." I'm just a name, and I don't have much time to worry about that. ”

The bald head stood up straight: "No matter what the three departments do, I will report to you, and if you approve it, I will do it." ”

"Hmmm! Go ahead and send candy! Call Wang Hu to me. ”

The bald head said yes and ran out.

Soon, Wang Hu walked in and sat on the sofa silently.

"Have you eaten the bald candy?" Zhou Lin asked.

"Didn't eat! Seeing his smug look, I didn't want to eat the candy. ”

Zhou Lin scolded with a smile: "You are just a wood, you can't fake." Do you want to be an official? ”

Wang Hu said softly: "Yes!" The bald head now earns six times more than me. ”

"Do you know why you don't have a bald head? Let me tell you, it's your mouth that looks like a needle sewn up. will not flatter people, will not please people, will not tell lies, these three will not stop you from the officialdom. Zhou Lin pointed out to him one by one.

Wang Hu said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't be an official, as long as you don't dislike me, captain, I will follow you for the rest of my life." ”

"! I'm the team leader, you follow me, I'm the captain, you have no problem with me, I'm the section chief, you still have something to do with me. If I become the commissioner, what can you do with me? So you have to learn to change yourself and learn to be an official. You know? Zhou Lin's fingers almost hit Wang Hu's head.

Wang Hu is not stupid, what Zhou Lin said, he has thought about it countless times, and he has also thought that if Zhou Lin becomes the director, he really can't do things for Zhou Lin. Because those who do things are at the level of section chiefs, they have a chance.

Zhou Lin scolded him, making him feel kind, at least the captain still had Wang Hu's position in his heart.

After scolding, Zhou Lin took out a cigarette, Wang Hu thought about it, learned from the bald past, and lit a cigarette for Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin said with satisfaction: "Hmm! I can teach! Learn to be flexible. Don't look at me in front of you, I don't dare to raise my head in front of the director. Hurry up and learn! ”

"Yes!" Wang Hu thought about it, it is not very difficult to flatter people.

"You are more responsible for the current affairs of a subject. The key is to keep an eye on the point and prevent it from going wrong. You will be transferred to the day shift and take over the bald head. But on the night shift, you also have to arrange someone to keep an eye on you and report to you at any time. ”

"Yes! Captain! Mission completion guaranteed! Wang Hu's voice came from afar.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Lin came to Suzhou Creek Park.

He pretended to be leisurely and leisurely and slowly admired the scenery, and soon came to the statue of the fisherwoman, and sat down against it.

And on the side of the statue of the fisherwoman, there is also a person, because his position is against the statue of the fisherwoman, facing the sea, so it is difficult for people on the shore to find him.

"My name is Yang Kun, Yang of Poplar, Kun of Qiankun." Yang Kun spoke first: "From now on, I am your upline, and I will convey the instructions from above to you." ”

"Your calligraphy and painting shop is not good! In Mingzhu, I know that Zhou Lin doesn't like Chinese calligraphy and painting, and if I go to you too much, others will doubt it. Zhou Lin said politely.

"If you like women, I'm not going to open a brothel." Yang Kun said.

"I like to drink coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon and evening, especially Tieguanyin tea." Zhou Lin ignored the other party's displeasure.

"I know! I'm going to open a tea house, a Japanese tea ceremony. Yang Kun decided immediately.

"If it's a Japanese tea ceremony and the craftsmanship is good, I'll introduce some Japanese officers to taste it. The key is that the tea art is higher than the tea houses in the market. Zhou Lin tempted.

As soon as he heard the introduction of the Japanese officer, Yang Kun's eyes lit up, this is a good place to get information.

Zhou Lin immediately poured a basin of cold water: "Don't install eavesdropping devices in the tea house, the Japanese will pay attention to your new shop, and many of the Japanese officers I know have intelligence skills, you can't fool them." ”

"I know, I'll let you know when the tea house is done. How will I notify you? ”

Zhou Lin thought for a while and said: "The public toilet in front of No. 23 Jinan Road is a place with a lot of personal flow. When I go to the 'Black Cafe' every morning, I have to pass by that place. If there is information to be transmitted, draw a turtle on a telephone pole outside the toilet. When I see a turtle, I will go into the third pit to get information. If it's a notice meeting, I'll draw a woman with long braids, and I'll go to the calligraphy and painting shop. Anything else? ”

Yang Kun looked around: "The old man personally sent a person to meet you, and this person is now in the small courtyard at No. 17 on the Bund." Seven o'clock in the evening, see you or leave! ”

"Why do you still have to meet? Why is it so troublesome, how is it ......"

Zhou Lin's third one hadn't said anything yet, and he found that Yang Kun had already left.

No one found out how he went! He's a master!

Zhou Lin sat in front of the statue of the fisherwoman and smoked a cigarette before leaving.

Before leaving, he looked at the statue of the fisherwoman and found that there was only one road leading to the statue of the fisherwoman, but how did Yang Kun leave? didn't know the foundation of the opponent, Zhou Lin was very uneasy.

Although Yang Kun is now his own connector, in Zhou Lin's heart, he has always regarded him as his enemy.

Leaving Suzhou Creek Park, Zhou Lin went to Huangshi Road and left a secret letter in the dead mailbox: "Uncle Cousin is here." I have met and arranged my cousin. But my cousin's cousin also came, waiting for me to come and visit. Details later. ”

All afternoon, Zhou Lin was thinking about a question: What did the old man send people for?

Originally, there was Yang Kun, and Zhou Lin didn't need to appear for everything, but why did he send another person to come, and he met him directly.

couldn't think of a reason, so Zhou Lin spent the afternoon like this.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Lin came to the small courtyard at No. 17 on the Bund as promised.

On the way, he disguised himself, and he didn't recognize him at a glance.

After Zhou Lin entered the courtyard, he entered the house directly without delay.

Seeing a person with his back to him, Zhou Lin said the code: "Uncle Cousin asked me to visit an elder." ”

"Is your elder's surname Mao?" The man on his back asked.

"No, his surname has changed twice in three days. I don't know what his last name is? ”

The code was matched, and the person carrying it finally turned around: "My surname is Chen, and I used to be your grandfather's tea friend." ”

Zhou Lin was confused: "There is no such thing in the code?" ”

"Haha! I'm Chen," the man said with a smile.

Zhou Lin's scalp tightened: "You are Minister Chen?" How did you get here? Both the Japanese and the traitor spies have your portraits. ”

"Didn't you recognize me too?" Minister Chen sat down: "What I said is true, I am your grandfather's tea friend." ”

Zhou Lin didn't believe it: "How do you know my grandfather, an old man from the countryside?" ”

"Ten years ago, the chairman of the committee asked me to arrange to take care of an old man, the old man was called Mao Dazhuan, who was on the back slope of Xikou. I followed the chairman's order and paid someone to take care of the elderly. Until the death of the old man last year. Minister Chen took out a photo: "This is a photo left by your grandfather on his 70th birthday, and the chairman asked me to give it to you!" ”

Looking at the gloomy cloud on the old man's brow in the photo, Zhou Lin's tears flowed, and his grandfather had been looking forward to his father's return.

"Thank you! Thank you for taking care of my grandpa! Zhou Lin stood up and gave Minister Chen a Chinese salute.

Minister Chen sighed: "Alas! If only the old man could hold on for a few more years, then he could wait until your father. Don't be sad, let's get down to business now. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Lin put away the photo and sat down.

"You seized a batch of tobacco soil and sold it to the Taiwanese."

Zhou Lin couldn't think of this: "Yes, Yamada said that the Japanese army needed a lot of money, so I asked me to sell the tobacco soil to the Taiwanese." ”

"That batch of tobacco is ours." Minister Chen said.

Zhou Lin stood up: "The government is not ......"

Minister Chen asked Zhou Lin to sit down: "When the war broke out, government spending has surged, and there has been a huge deficit, and in order to increase the strength of the war of resistance, a large amount of money is needed. That's why we contacted the Taiwan side and exported tobacco to them. And stipulate that these tobacco clays cannot be sold on the mainland, but can only be sold overseas. ”

"Is tobacco native to Sichuan?" Zhou Lin knew that the Sichuan warlords had organized the production of opium.

"In fact, these tobacco soil are also contributed by those people, and they are also actively involved in the anti-Japanese war, and the Sichuan army is also good."

"How much is this bit of tobacco worth? Sixty small yellow croaker. Zhou Lin disagreed.

"This is what we took out to test the waters." Minister Chen said softly.

Zhou Lin's body was shocked: "That's that there are many more." The number is small, and I can still deceive it, but when the number is large, it attracts attention, and the Japanese are not easy to fool. ”

"So the chairman asked me to come and talk to you personally, what he means is that I hope you can turn this tobacco back into tens of millions of dollars for him, and he wants to use this money to buy American arms." Minister Chen didn't force Zhou Lin on the surface, but he was actually forcing him.

Suddenly, Zhou Lin thought of an idea: "I have an idea. ”

Minister Chen: "Tell me, maybe you can come up with a golden idea." ”

"Find a small warlord in Sichuan to come to Mingzhu to find me, this person must have no background in the government, and he must be a closed little warlord. I told Yamada about him again, and with Yamada's consent, I asked the Taiwanese to resell the goods overseas. ”

"Will Yamada agree to do it?" Minister Chen was not convinced.

"The Japanese army is now working on a plan that requires a lot of money! Otherwise, how could the last batch of Yamada be released? ”

"Do you know what the plan is?" Minister Chen asked with interest.

"How can I, the chief of the Economic Investigation Section, know this? It is estimated that no one in the Chinese knows. I guess the plan is definitely about China, and most likely against you. ”

"You're saying that the Japanese are working on a plan against us?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten! Because Yamada is short of money. If it is a plan coordinated by the Japanese headquarters, Tokyo will allocate funds, and will you need to make money like this? ”

That shows that the Japanese army stationed in China planned the plan itself, and the plan of the Japanese army stationed in China must be related to the war situation in China. Most likely, it was aimed at Wuhan. ”
