Chapter 14: Being Stalked
It's been a week, and no one seems to remember the shooting of foreigners, and this matter has passed like this, but Xiao Zhenlei is more cautious, this matter on the beach is very evil, no one can say for sure, the more you scream, the faster you often die, even people like Huang Jingrong are generally reluctant to move guys to engage others, and try to solve things that can be solved with money, so as not to provoke crazy revenge, unless it is absolutely necessary, they will use knives and guns.
A few more people came to the dock that day, but these were not patrolling, but the children of the Green Gang wearing black cardigans, cyan bloomers, and a pair of old-fashioned cloth shoes on their feet.
After the children of the Green Gang entered the wharf, the foremen in charge of the coolies were called to a small bungalow next to the gate of the wharf, which was the small office that managed the wharf.
"Master Liu, what kind of wind blew you here today, please sit, please sit!" A foreman had a flattering expression, and hurriedly took out a pack of old knife brand cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Liu Fubiao.
Liu Fubiao took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, and a subordinate next to him took out a foreign fire and lit it for him, he took a few puffs, stretched out his right hand to the top of his head, grabbed his slippery scalp, looked at the room full of contractors and said: "Foremen, don't be afraid, I didn't call you here today to find trouble for you, nor to raise the pumping of the wharf, this newspaper must all know about it, right?" ”
A newspaper appeared in Liu Fubiao's hand, that is, the back photo of Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang killing the British soldier in the evening eight days ago, of course the foremen knew it, and the literate should have read it, and the foremen didn't know why Liu Fubiao mentioned this matter, they all looked at him and listened to him say the following.
A foreman asked for everyone: "Master Liu, isn't this matter over?" The two murderers were shot dead in the legal arrest room, and the foreigners in the public concession also closed the case, why are you ......."
Liu Fubiao didn't answer the man's words, and continued: "I called you over today to ask you, is there anything similar to the backs of these two people on our dock?" Whether there is or not, I am not allowed to say this matter when I come to ask you today, if anyone says it, don't blame me Liu Fubiao for being ruthless, tying a stone and throwing it into the Haihe River to feed Wang Ba is light! If any of you know or have seen such two people's backs similar to those in the newspaper but don't say it, and I know afterwards, hehe, it's you who deliberately deceived me Liu Fubiao and deliberately couldn't get along with me, then I can be sorry, you all understand, right? Okay, has anyone ever seen such two people? If so, say it! ”
The foremen listened to Liu Fubiao's words and talked in a low voice, but Liu Fubiao silently scanned every foreman present with eagle-like eyes, when one of the foremen found that Liu Fubiao was staring at him, he panicked, thinking that Liu Fubiao saw that he had something hidden in his heart, and hurriedly stood up in fear and said: "Liu, Liu Ye, I know that there are two people's backs that are similar to the patterns on this newspaper, but I don't know if they are them, they are ........"
"Wait, this one stays, everyone else goes out, remember, forget what happened just now, I haven't been here, you haven't been called over for questioning, nothing has happened!" After Liu Fubiao finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Go, go, go!" ”
When the other foremen heard this, they turned around and left in turn, leaving only Liu Fubiao and his men in the house, plus this foreman, Liu Fubiao drove out all his subordinates, and in the end, only Liu Fubiao and this foreman were left.
"Alright, now you can speak!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The foreman hurriedly agreed, swallowed his saliva and said: "Master Liu, these two people are working under me, they are from Anhui, one is called Ma Xiaoshuang, the other is called Xiao Zhenlei, Ma Xiaoshuang came for two days first, and then introduced Xiao Zhenlei to work!" ”
"Xiao Zhenlei?" Liu Fubiao raised his eyebrows, "What a domineering name, if it was really done by the two of them, it really lived up to his resounding name!" Oh, you go on! ”
"Yes!" The foreman said: "I also found out that their backs are similar to those in this photo when others were joking, and one coolie joked that it might be them, but the others didn't believe it, because these two brothers are honest mud legs, and they usually can't make a fart with a stick, and they have the courage to do that kind of earth-shattering thing?" Don't say those coolies don't believe it, and I don't believe it either! ”
Liu Fubiao thought for a moment after the foreman finished speaking and asked, "Then do you think the two of them did it?" ”
The foreman hurriedly said: "Don't don't, Master Liu, I just told you what I saw, as for whether they did it, I really don't dare to draw conclusions, in case it was really them, if they knew that it was me who told me, with the means of those two, I'm afraid that I will die with more than 100 catties and no place to bury, Master Liu, don't be embarrassed for me!" ”
Liu Fubiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, did I say it's difficult for you?" You go back first, remember what I said, don't chew your tongue outside, and don't blame me if something happens! ”
"Yes, yes!" The foreman agreed, turned and left.
In the afternoon, it only took two hours to finish work, and the goods on the steamer on the dock are now completely finished, and as for whether there is any work to be done tomorrow, we will have to wait until tomorrow morning to know, if there is no bag tomorrow, these coolies will have to find other work to do, and they can no longer wait here.
After getting off work, Ma Xiaoshuang and Xiao Zhenlei walked out of the dock, and Ma Xiaoshuang asked, "Brother, it's still early, should we go back to the city or what are we going to do?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei thought about it and pulled Ma Xiaoshuang and walked towards the French Concession: "Xiaoshuang, we don't seem to have a good visit to this big Shanghai, anyway, it's still early, and I don't know if there is any work to do tomorrow, let's go shopping now, take the tram to see all parts of Shanghai!" ”
Ma Xiaoshuang also wanted to go around, and of course agreed with Xiao Zhenlei's construction, and the two walked to the French Concession, where there were trams to Shanghai County and other parts of the concession.
The two of them walked around like this for an afternoon, and when it was dark, they walked to the territory of Baoshan County, north of the eastern area of the public concession, seeing that it was about to get dark, Ma Xiaoshuang said: "Brother, let's go back, it's dark, go back early, maybe you have to work tomorrow!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "Well, let's go, let's walk along the Huangpu River to the public concession and take the tram back!" ”
The two walked for more than ten minutes, Xiao Zhenlei felt that the person behind him had finally disappeared, this whole afternoon, since the sixteenth shop pier came out, he felt that someone was following, and he also used all kinds of opportunities to spy on the people who were tracking, and soon he found the figure of the person who was tracking, if the expectation was good, it should be someone in the gang, and it was a member of the Green Gang, it seems that some people are still thinking about that matter, and are still looking for his brothers, and they are even more suspicious of them, and the children of the Green Gang in the afternoon should be here for this matter, The foremen were all called away, which means that the foreman betrayed his brothers!
Foreman? Hmph, dare to betray Lao Tzu, since you don't want to live anymore, then Lao Tzu will fulfill you! Xiao Zhenlei clenched his fists and said in his heart that there are still those people who are following, Lao Tzu wants to see who is investigating Lao Tzu!
The two walked along the Huangpu River for a while, at this time the sky was completely dark, from the afternoon to now the sky has not been very good, gloomy, after the dark outside is pitch black, reach out and see the five fingers, not long after, it actually rained lightly.
"It's over, brother, what should I do now?" Ma Xiaoshuang asked with a sad face, touching the raindrops on his face.
Xiao Zhenlei looked around and found that there was a dark shadow on the side of the road in front of him, which should be a shack, and he didn't know what it was for, so he pulled Ma Xiaoshuang and ran over to hide under the eaves of the shack facing the Huangpu River to avoid the rain.
The rain has been falling for more than an hour and has not stopped, and Xiao Zhenlei is now when, I only feel that the stomachs of both of them are growling with hunger, but now if they are drenched in the rain this season, it is very likely to be infected with wind chill and fall ill, even if he is very hungry, Xiao Zhenlei also prevents Ma Xiaoshuang from going back in the rain.
