At 10 o'clock on February 22, 1938, Zhou Lin sat at the triangular tip of the "Black Café", reading the newspaper with his back to the hall.

At a table next to him, Li Qiang was reading the newspaper with his back against Zhou Lin.

"A third of that batch of white cloth has been intercepted by us." Li Qiang said.

"When did you act?" Zhou Lin asked curiously.

"At three o'clock this morning, when the cargo was being loaded onto the ship, it was attacked by the New Fourth Army, and the ship and cloth entered the base area as planned."

"Then Dong doesn't look for a regular claim?"

"Dong is our relation, and the plan is what he did. The plan was to take a third of the ship in chaos. The rest of the ships continued on their way to Tianjin, and a hundred miles ahead a group of ships would join their fleet, just to make up for the one-third of the white cloth that had departed. In this way, even if the enemy checks, it can only find that the goods returned to Tianjin safely. ”

"What a brilliant plan! Seamless. Zhou Lin praised.

"The superior called, praised you!" Li Qiang said.

"I didn't do anything." Zhou Lin felt that the success of the matter had nothing to do with it.

"Without your news, without your matchmaking, how could there be this harvest, this praise should belong to you."

After speaking, Li Qiang put away the newspaper and left the "black café".

Zhou Lin leisurely returned to the dock all the way, and came bald as soon as he stopped.

"The adjutant of the commander of the division is calling, please go to St. Martin's Hospital." The bald head reported.

"St. Martin's Hospital? Who is sick? ”

"It seems that Master Chang was injured and hospitalized."

Zhou Lin hurriedly got into the car, drove to the hospital, and when he passed by, he bought some supplements.

As soon as he entered the Changliang ward, Zhou Lin looked Changliang up and down.

"What are you looking at? Schadenfreude look. Chang Liang was embarrassed.

"I'm thinking about how the heroic commander Chang fought bravely to kill the enemy, was hit by multiple bullets, was seriously injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire, and finally ......"

Chang Liang interrupted Zhou Lin's words: "Don't be the last, you don't have a last, it's just that I can't get up when I lie down." ”

"What will? You can't end up owing me money! ”

"Haha! It may be that the money owed to you has not been repaid, so the bullet missed and only hit the arm," Chang Liang said with a smile.

Zhou Lin said solemnly: "Isn't it just selling cloth to people, why was it bitten by a bullet?" ”

"It's a long story!" Chang Liang told Zhou Lin about the situation.

After listening, Zhou Lin asked: "The New Fourth Army got the news in advance and was waiting for you in advance?" ”

Chang Liang shook his head: "No, if there is an ambush in the New Fourth Army, it won't just come with a thousand people, and a thousand people won't be able to eat me." ”

Zhou Lin nodded: "That is, you happened to meet the New Fourth Army passing by, and the other party saw your car and thought that there was oil and water, so they started fighting." ”

"Yes! I also didn't think of an ambush, and as soon as the guns rang out, my first thought was to order the troops to cover the cargo on board. As long as I get on the boat, the loss is not my loss. When the goods were loaded onto the ship and left, I found out that there were only more than 1,000 people in the New Fourth Army chasing and fighting us. ”

"So you turn around......" Zhou Lin worried.

"There's no going back! In order to cover the cargo on board, we died more than 300 and wounded more than 800. There are only 2,000 tired people left, can they chase? It was their base area, and in order to prevent reinforcements from the New Fourth Army, we ran back in fear. Chang Liang's two fingers moved.

Zhou Lin understood what he meant, took out a cigarette and put it in Chang Liang's mouth, and helped him light it.

"How much is the loss?" Zhou Lin asked.

"Three hundred and thirty-one dead, three hundred and sixty seriously wounded, and five hundred lightly wounded. Alas, the newly created regiment is gone. Chang Liang sighed.

"How did you report to the top?"

Chang Liang blinked: "Five hundred and sixty dead, five hundred and ten seriously injured, and eight hundred lightly injured." ”

Zhou Lin smiled: "The pension is for you to catch again." ”

"But I also lost a thousand guns, which money bought."

"The Imperial Army didn't say to compensate you?" When Zhou Lin heard that the New Fourth Army had captured thousands of guns, he was very happy in his heart.

"Of course I have to make up for it, but I did what they ordered me to strike. They promised to give me 1,200 guns, and they didn't care about the cost of the wounded. Chang Liang finally smiled.

"Got the money?"

"Rogered, cash dollars. One hundred thousand dollars. Chang Liang took out $10,000 from under his pillow and handed it to Zhou Lin: "This is yours." ”

Zhou Lin put away the money and said, "I need money recently, so I'm not welcome." ”

Chang Liang smiled: "I didn't suffer a loss, the inventory was exchanged for money, and the lost guns here can be replaced, in general, I have earned." ”

"What if the Imperial Army knows about the cloth?" Zhou Lin looked outside the door: "Your thousands of people, can you guarantee that they don't tell the truth in front of the imperial army?" ”

Chang Liang said in a low voice: "Mr. Dong confessed when he left, and when someone asked, he said that someone from Peking contacted me first, and that person's phone number and name were told to me." The people around General Kenji Dohihara are looking for me, and I dare not sell it? ”

Zhou Lin stretched out his thumb and shook it: "This great god, no one dares to check." ”

"When I'm healed, please drink! Bring a gift then. Chang Liang said.

"Marry my aunt's wife again?" Zhou Lin asked with wide eyes.

"Marry whom? It's a promotion! ”

"Commander?"

"Deputy Army Commander and Commander of the First Division!" Chang Liang originally thought of the army commander.

"Who is the commander? And the credit is greater than yours? With the hole in your hand, you should be the commander of the army. Zhou Lin said unevenly.

"The original commander did not leave, and continued to stay as a military commander. Can I steal his place? ”

Zhou Lin then stopped: "Then wait another year, you will definitely be able to be the commander." ”

"Don't think about that yet, I'm looking for something for you." Chang Liang had another purpose in looking for Zhou Lin.

"Say it! I'm just an errand runner. Zhou Lin helped Chang light up another cigarette.

"Penny Donlin." Chang Liang took a heavy puff of cigarette, choked, and coughed.

Zhou Lin was also choked and coughed: "I said that you just took in a batch of medicine, and it only took a few days to use it up?" ”

"Run out!" Chang Liang said: "There are more than 2,000 new and old wounded, how many days did it take? ”

Zhou Lin rolled his eyes: Trick the ghost! Would you use this medicine on soldiers?

Chang Liang also saw Zhou Lin roll his eyes and understood what it meant.

"Brother, my brother's family has a big business and a big expense, and ......"

Zhou Lin stopped his words: "How much?" ”

"It's still half a million dollars." Chang Liang knew that Zhou Lin would agree.

"But it won't arrive in a month and a half. China has no goods, so it can only be transferred from the United States. "Zhou Lin is not afraid of Chang Liang knowing the details. Knowing that, Smith wouldn't deal with him directly.

"I'm not really using it, I'm just making money." Chang Liang took out five stacks of dollars from under the pillow again: "Fifty thousand dollars, deposit!" ”

Zhou Lin approached Chang Liang's ear: "Have you sold all the goods in your hand?" That's a lot! ”

Chang nodded brightly: "Ten times more, there will be no stock." ”

"I'm going to get them in a month."

After speaking, Zhou Lin took the money and left the hospital.

Zhou Lin broke into Smith's office and shouted, "Old Shi, do you have any good wine?" ”

"Please call me Smith, don't call me Lao Shi, I don't have the same surname as 'five hundred years ago'." Smith shouted close to Zhou Lin's ear.

"It's no business to call Smith! Tell Lao Shi to make money immediately. Are you sure you're not called Lao Shi? Zhou Lin sat down: "Coffee!" ”

When Smith heard this, he ran to pour the coffee in the coffee bowl for Zhou Lin: "Then you still call me Lao Shi!" ”

Zhou Lin waited for Smith to sit down, took out his bag, took out $50,000, and threw it to Smith: "Last time's business, do it again." ”

Smith grabbed the money: "The delivery time is a month, and we borrowed it from Singapore." When your parents' boat comes back from mainland China, you will return the goods from Singapore. ”

"When will you be on board tomorrow?" Zhou Lin's excitement was gone.

Smith knew Zhou Lin's displeasure: "Dude, it's just a temporary separation, and because of your friendly relationship with us, our American company has already completed all the formalities, just waiting for your parents to go over and become emperors." ”

"Thank you!" Zhou Lin stood up and made an American salute.

"Say thank you, I should say thank you to you! If it weren't for you, I might still be a failed businessman who calculates a hundred and ten dollars in profit and loss. Smith said sincerely.

"It's going to be a million dollars in profit and loss." Zhou Lin said arrogantly.

"That's right! Million Dollar Business! Hahaha! ”

After spending an afternoon in the office of the first section of the wharf and signing dozens of release slips, Zhou Lin went to the wharf to take a turn.

The bald head followed Zhou Lin: "Section Chief......"

Zhou Lin glanced back at his bald head: "What's the matter?" ”

"It turns out that the brothers of the first detachment want to treat you to dinner." The bald head whispered.

"I know what they think in their hearts, do you feel itchy when you see you looking like five or six people?" Zhou Lin continued to inspect.

"That's exactly what they thought."

"Not now! How many people have to do with it are staring at this good unit that has no danger and can make money after investigation. When I have the opportunity and need people, I will consider them. ”

"Yes!" The bald head said happily. When the section chief said this, he still had old colleagues in his heart.

"Is there anything unusual about Corey?" Zhou Lin took the bald cigarette.

In the past, in the detective department, the bald head had no money to buy good cigarettes, and Zhou Lin rewarded him for his good cigarettes.

Now that the bald head has the money to smoke well, it's no wonder that all the people are red-eyed and have been punished.

The bald head helped Zhou Lin light a cigarette: "Those three people are much more honest now." Since Li Hu's incident came out, they didn't dare to make more money and received some cigarettes and alcohol gifts. There is money to collect, and it is all small money. ”

Zhou Lin nodded: "These are no problem!" But don't treat me as blind and deaf! Remember who is in charge of a subject. ”

Bald head: "I'll tell them the section chief's instructions." ”

After Zhou Lin looked at the residential building, he said to the bald head: "You and Wang Hu's family can take it over, anyway, there are a lot of dormitories in this dormitory, and they should be allowed to enjoy themselves." ”

The bald head said in surprise: "Thank you, section chief!" In fact, Wang Hu's family and I have been here a long time ago, and we have been living in a rented house, which is very close to the detective department. They really wanted to come and stay with me, hehe, come home from work, and I made them happy. ”

"Tell the three people as well, if you want to come, you can come, and if you don't want to come, you don't care."

After speaking, Zhou Lin drove away from the dock.

Tomorrow, my parents will leave Mingzhu and China, and tonight, Zhou Lin will chat and talk with my parents.

When I got back to where my parents lived, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

Mother made a table of sumptuous dishes and asked Zhou Lin to steal a piece to eat from time to time.

Just like when he was a child, his mother would gently slap Zhou Lin's hand and laugh at him.

And the father watched the mother and son laugh and watch.

In the end, Huaxun also joined the team to grab vegetables.

The father took out a "daughter red": "There are more than ten days left, and it is the traditional Chinese Spring Festival." At that time, the three of us on the boat celebrated the Spring Festival together. But Lin Er can't spend this Spring Festival with us. Therefore, we will advance the Spring Festival to today! ”

The mother poured four cups full of wine: "Come, let's celebrate the Spring Festival!" ”

Zhou Lin raised his glass: "Happy New Year!" ”

Zhou Huaxun: "Wishing you prosperity!" ”

The four cups stepped together, and in the sound of "cheers", the rice wine in the cup was drunk.

After everyone sat down, Zhou Lin said: "There are Chinatowns in the United States, and whatever you need, there are all in Chinatowns." If the U.S. doesn't have one, tell me, and I'll ask Smith to bring it to you. ”

"You gave that much money, we can be rich in the United States, don't worry about our lives. It's you, in Mingzhu, you should pay more attention, safety first. Father admonished.

Zhou Lin smiled and said: "I am now in the Economic Supervision Department, not the detective department that charged in the past, where is the danger?" And I'm the section chief, I don't use my hands when I move, and I'm also a person below when I'm in danger. ”

"Yes, my son has a future, and when he becomes the section chief, I will reward you with a chicken leg!" Mother sandwiched a secret chicken leg for Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin quickly ate the chicken legs: "Remember! Call me every Saturday at 11 p.m. US time and call me to the dark room. At that time, I would definitely wait in the dark room. Also, for safety, please call me from a different phone line in a different place. Because you often call in one place, it is easy for others to find you. ”

Father: "You know, what if your dark room is exposed?" ”

Zhou Lin wrote down a phone number: "This is my second dark room phone, if no one answers the first dark room call for two consecutive days, and I don't deposit $1234 into your account, then you can call the second dark room on the second Saturday." If no one picks up in both dark rooms, and I don't deposit $1,234 into your account, it means I'm on a business trip, or I'm hiding. You don't fight anymore, wait for me to save money and go in and give the news. Don't worry, if anything, I'll ask a friend to help me deposit dollars for you, and you'll know. Don't come back! Because my weakness is you! My enemies also want to seize you and persecute me. ”

"Lin'er!" The mother burst into tears.

"Brother!" Zhou Huaxun also began to cry.

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "What I'm talking about is just in case, it's the worst plan." I'm a lucky general, maybe this worst plan won't come to fruition at all! ”

"That's right! Right! My son has always been blessed and lucky! The mother wiped away her tears.

The family finally finished eating, and they all had to eat, and the most supportive was Zhou Lin.

Then everyone sat on the sofa and talked until twelve o'clock, and finally they couldn't hold it anymore, so they went to their respective rooms to rest......
