Chapter 21 Selling Tobacco
The detective department returned to the nest victoriously, and hurried back to divide the money, and everyone could share a few oceans.
After Zhou Lin's affairs are done, there is no need to join them anymore.
After leaving, Zhou Lin rushed to the dark room and wrote a secret letter to Yang Kun.
In the letter, Zhou Lin proved with the identity of the party: the leader of the Zhongtong Pearl Group is a traitor.
The other man, the squad leader, is a hero.
Zhou Lin suggested that the captain of the action team should be credited.
Subsequently, Zhou Lin rushed to the public toilet in front of No. 23 Jinan Road.
He saw a long braid on a telephone pole, and Yang Kun wanted to see him.
Zhou Lin drove to a corner three hundred meters in front of the "Calligraphy and Painting Hall" on Sichuan Road, parked the car, observed carefully for a while, and found that there was no one, so he came to the back door.
After Zhou Lin knocked on the door, the door opened, and when Yang Kun saw that it was Zhou Lin, he motioned for Zhou Lin to enter, and then he bolted the door.
"Has the plan been implemented?" Yang Kun asked.
Zhou Lin took out the secret letter and handed it to Yang Kun, the letter had been written and written comprehensively.
After reading the letter, Yang Kun burned the secret letter and said to Zhou Lin: "I know that you are in a bad mood, but you have to remember: there will be sacrifice if there is struggle." Today I am the captain of the Pearl Group, tomorrow I am another comrade, and maybe one day it will be me. ”
"Old Yang ......" Zhou Lin didn't want to hear it.
Yang Kun continued: "I want you to know that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will sacrifice many people. You are no exception, but your value is greater than ours, so whenever there is danger, my comrades and I will do everything to cover your survival, because you can make several times more contributions than us. So don't be psychologically burdened. If the Captain knew that he would use his life to help you clear the way, he would not hesitate and be proud at the same time. ”
Zhou Lin nodded with tears in his eyes, although he and they are members of the same party, but in the great cause of resisting Japan, everyone is brothers.
Yang Kun asked some details again, and felt that Zhou Lin did it very skillfully, and the Japanese would not have thought that Zhou Lin took advantage of their loopholes and dealt with traitors.
Leaving the calligraphy and painting hall, Zhou Lin came to the dead mailbox.
Sure enough, the guess was right, and Li Qiang also sent a signal to himself to meet.
He didn't drive to Li Qiangna, but returned to the dock.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Lin came to Li Qiang by water.
"What's the gunfire going on today?" As soon as they met, Li Qiang asked.
Zhou Lin reported today's events again, but there was no sadness.
"The point of Zhongtong was connected to the pot, which sounded the alarm bell for us. It seems that we also have to do a few more escape routes at this point. Li Qiang said.
Zhou Lin nodded in agreement, he thought of an idea: "The soil here is very hard, you can dig a passage to the back of the telegraph office." If one day the bookstore is discovered and blocked, you can escape through the passageway! ”
Li Qiang thought about it and thought it was a good idea. He was going to work secretly with the telegraph operator and take some time to dig out the passage.
"When Yamada comes back tomorrow, he will definitely look for me, but I have already figured out how to say it, and I can pass it. I'd like to test Yamada's tone tomorrow to see what he's doing with the rock candy business. Zhou Lin said his next plan.
"Yes, if Yamada doesn't agree, don't take the risk and explain it to Wuhan, I believe that Wuhan will not let you favor Hushan." Li Qiang's heart is most opposed to Zhou Lin doing a rock candy business that is not sweet at all.
"Okay! Tomorrow's results, I will tell you the results by 6 p.m., through the dead letter. ”
After running two places, Zhou Lin was able to rest well.
He had a feeling that he was being divided into pieces and couldn't handle it.
The next morning, Zhou Lin received a call from Xiao Lin asking him to go to the military police headquarters.
Zhou Lin knew that he was going to come, and after arranging Corey, he drove to the gendarmerie headquarters.
Kobayashi was waiting for him at the door and took him directly to Yamada's office.
Yamada was looking down at things, Zhou Lin knew the rules, sat on the sofa far from the table, took out a cigarette and smoked it. He was thinking about how likely Yamada would agree to run the business if he told him about rock candy.
"What are you thinking?" Before Yamada knew it, he was already sitting on the main couch.
"I'm guessing where my parents are at this time?" Zhou Lin stood up.
Yamada motioned for Zhou Lin to sit down: "What's the use of guessing, only when you arrive in the United States, there will be a phone call." ”
"If I had known about these two guys' lair, I would have killed them earlier, and my parents would not have had to go to the United States to hide." Zhou Lin said regretfully.
"Childish! The order to kill your parents was given by Wuhan, and even if these two people die, they will send other people, and everyone else will still carry out the order. Yamada retorted.
An embarrassed smile appeared on Zhou Lin's face.
"Tell me what happened yesterday from beginning to end." Yamada ordered.
"Yes!" Zhou Lin will know how to get the news yesterday, how to call Yamada, but Yamada is not there, how worried that the people in the Central Union have run away, so he went to find Zhou Chang. How to ask Zhou Chang for instructions, please go out of Zhongzuo, and report it until the death of those two people.
"You mean, you got the information?" Yamada stared at Zhou Lin and asked.
"Yes! It was a merchant who had been shipping to come to me, and many people at the dock knew that he came to me yesterday. Zhou Lin is not worried, this person was arranged by the military commander, and that person had already left Mingzhu yesterday afternoon.
"What did he say?" Yamada asked.
"He said that he knew the leader of the Central Union, and the team leader was the head of the Central Union of Mingzhu before the imperial army came, and he also played mahjong with him and won him a lot of money." Zhou Lin said.
"He provided information gratuitously for free?"
"How is that possible? He said to sell me the information. Zhou Lin's voice rose.
"How much did you pay for his information?"
Zhou Lin stretched out three fingers: "Three little yellow croakers!" Originally, he asked for five, but in the end, I lowered the price with him, and three were sold. ”
Yamada had already scolded Zhou Lin in his heart, but he couldn't scold it.
The defection of the head of the Central Command Team was known only to him and Kobayashi, and the rest of the gendarmerie did not know, and it was originally for security reasons, but in the end, some people did not know that the head of the Central Command Team had worked for the Imperial Army, and killed him as an anti-Japanese element.
"What's that man's name? Where to stay? "Yamada wants to check.
Zhou Lin did not hide the name of the man, as well as his company address.
Yamada asked Kobayashi to check on the person immediately to see if he was still there.
"The commissioner suspects there's something wrong with that man?" Zhou Lin can't pretend to be stupid too much.
"The purpose of his appearance is too clear, why didn't he go to the detective team, and he didn't come to the gendarmerie, but he wanted to look for you?"
Zhou Lin tilted his head and thought for a while: "Why! ”
"Because you have an enmity with the Central Union! Because you can say that Zhou Chang sent troops. Because of your impulsive character. As long as he tells you, you will definitely not let go of the people of Zhongtong. ”
Zhou Lin twisted his head: "Of course I can't let them go, it hurts my parents to leave their hometown, it's light to kill them, I can't wait to use a knife to slowly cut his flesh." ”
So his plan worked! Lend your hand and kill those two. ”
Zhou Lin couldn't figure it out: "But why did he want those two people to die?" ”
"There are many possibilities, maybe as he said, they knew each other a year ago, and there is hatred between them. Perhaps he was instructed to die. Yamada pondered.
"If you want those two people to die, it can only be the imperial army! Zhongtong will definitely not kill his own people......" The phone on the table interrupted Zhou Lin's words.
Yamada went over to answer the phone, put down the phone and came back and said, "That person is gone!" ”
Zhou Lin didn't know: "It must be hiding!" But who is he afraid of? ”
"I don't know for the time being, but I won't know until I'm caught. What have you been doing all this time? Yamada asked casually.
Yamada originally asked casually, but unexpectedly, Zhou Lin was a little nervous: "Uncle Yamada......"
"Say! What bad things did you do? Yamada said viciously.
"It's nothing, it's just a small warlord in Sichuan, who sent someone to find me." Zhou Lin said hesitantly.
"Sichuan? Little warlords? What are you looking for? ”
"He's the cigarette we sold...... of cargo owners. ”
"He's coming to trouble you? What a guts! Why don't you report it? ”
Zhou Lin hurriedly waved his hand from side to side: "He's not here to find trouble, but to do business with us." ”
"Doing business? How? "Yamada is interested.
"Two ways. The first is that he borrows the road and gives us how much toll each shipment takes. Second, he sells it to us, and we sell it to the Taiwanese at a high price. Zhou Lin finished explaining the situation one by one.
"What did you say?" Yamada looked at Zhou Lin.
"I said I would consult with my elders to see if I could do this. How the elders agree, I will call Sichuan tomorrow. Zhou Lin looked at Yamada timidly.
"Hmmm! That's a good answer. Did he say how much he had? Yamada was very satisfied with Zhou Lin's performance.
"It's worth less than $10 million! Of course, he shipped in batches. Oh, he said we could trade the supplies that were in short supply in the mainland for cigarettes. ”
When Yamada heard the 10 million US dollars, his eyes straightened: "It doesn't work to borrow the way, we only took a running money." Buy his goods and sell them for spending. We can requisition Mingzhu's materials, it's better to exchange materials, he didn't say what materials he wanted. ”
Zhou Lin took out a pen, found a piece of paper on the coffee table, and wrote in Japanese: "He wants 3,000 rifles, 200 light machine guns, and 50 heavy machine guns......
Yamada interrupted Zhou Lin's words: "He is a warlord, it is normal to buy a gun. But he can go to Wuhan and buy it. ”
Zhou Lin said with a smile: "He has no money, only cigarette ......, will the people in Wuhan let him exchange cigarettes for guns?" Definitely not. And the warlord in Wuhan who hates it the most just makes him find a reason to suppress it. That's what the man's representative told me. ”
Yamada nodded: "That's right to think about it!" What more could he want? ”
Zhou Lin continued to write, all the goods that are not beautiful in the mainland have been written. Of course, those drugs can't be written.
Yamada took the list and looked at it: "Hmm! Except for a few that cannot be provided, most of them can be provided. Is this something else, a small amount can also be given. ”
Zhou Lin's eyes widened: "Uncle Yamada, what do you mean by being able to give it to him?" ”
Yamada put the note away: "Zhou Lin, I will give you a task now." ”
Zhou Lin immediately stood upright: "Please give an order from the head of the organ!" ”
Yamada: "A tobacco sales team was immediately set up, with Zhou Lin as the deputy leader of the tobacco sales team. The leader of the cigarette sales team is Kobayashi-kun, but the actual person in charge is Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin was in charge of trading with the Sichuanese. In principle, we try to give them the goods as much as possible, so that they can exchange cigarettes for goods. After changing to cigarettes, he immediately contacted the Taiwanese and took back the gold. ”
"Director, our negotiations did not come to an end in the end."
"Why? Isn't it possible to exchange an item? I can also give him a gun. ”
"Chief, the key is that the goods can't be delivered to him, the noses of the people in Wuhan are smarter than dogs, and it is impossible to hide from them. And the Sichuan people also took this into account, they said: it is okay to exchange the goods, but they must be sent to Sichuan. Zhou Lin explained.
"That's a problem!" Yamada looked at the car key that Zhou Lin put on the coffee table, and suddenly laughed: "I have a way!" ”
Zhou Lin didn't believe it: "The people of Sichuan and I haven't come up with a good way yet. ”
Yamada pointed to the car keys, and Zhou Lin understood. But he still didn't understand: "It's more dangerous to transport it by car, and there are more checkpoints on the road than cow hair." ”
This guy is so stupid! Yamada scolded secretly: "Who said that it was transported by car? I mean, let the American freighter help us load the cargo into Sichuan. If you want to pay the freight, you will give it to them, and there is not much money. ”
Zhou Lin slapped his legs vigorously with both hands: "That's right! The people of Wuhan were afraid of the Americans, so they let American freighters carry their goods. They saw it, they knew, and they could only sigh. ”
"Yes, yes! Let them sigh dryly! Yamada laughed.
"You must call tomorrow, no, telegraph!" Yamada said.
Zhou Lin nodded: "I'll go to send a telegram as soon as I get up tomorrow." ”
"What time do you wake up?" Yamada stared and asked.
Zhou Lin was embarrassed: "I have developed a habit in Japan and get up at nine o'clock every day." ”
"Wake up at nine, have breakfast at half-past nine, and drink coffee at ten. What time are you going to send the telegram? Yamada asked.
"Twelve, I promise to send it before twelve. Besides, it's not good to start early, Sichuan people are also people who like to sleep. ”
"No! Tomorrow morning before ten o'clock must go to the telegraph office to send the telegram. Yamada said with a straight face.
"Yes! The telegram had to be sent to the telegraph office before ten o'clock. Zhou Lin shouted loudly.
"You can go!" Yamada waved his hand and asked Zhou Lin to leave.
Zhou Lin wiped his sweat and ran out of Yamada's office with a puff of smoke.
Xiao Lin, who was about to enter the door, looked back at Zhou Lin: "Zhou Linjun can participate in the Olympic Games." ”
Yamada smiled: "I was reprimanding him just now,"
"If it's a problem with him sleeping, then it doesn't work. He is what the Chinese call a lazy worm. Xiao Lin guessed why Zhou Lin ran so fast.
"As long as he can do something for us, let him sleep!" Yamada came to the desk: "Kobayashi-kun, now I will give you a great task. ”
"Please give the order from the general!" Kobayashi standard salute.
A cigarette sales team was immediately established, with Kobayashi Jun as the leader of the tobacco sales team and Zhou Lin as the deputy leader of the tobacco sales team. The group is directly accountable to me. The group was responsible for transactions with the Sichuanese. In principle, we try to give them as much as possible, so that they can exchange cigarettes for goods. After changing to cigarettes, he immediately contacted the Taiwanese to recover the gold and use it for military expenses. Yamada gave the order.
"Yes!" Xiao Lin was happy in his heart, and he had another chance.
The last time I sold a watch to a Taiwanese, Xiao Lin harvested ten small yellow croakers. He was so happy that he didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and he got a golden disease from then on.
Now that he is in charge of the work of the cigarette group, wouldn't that make him fall into the money pit again.
It looks like I'm going to have to buy a few more old watches, which are antiques and worth a lot of money.
