Chapter 13: "To the Axe Gang Residence!" ”
"Smack!"
"Boss, let's have a pot of Pu'er!"
"Okay! Boss, please sit down! ”
In the teahouse, on the edge of the wooden table by the window, Lu Qi was dressed in formal clothes, sitting comfortably on a wooden bench and shouting to the shopkeeper.
It was past noon.
But in the teahouse, business is still booming.
Most of the men sitting next to Lu Qi were men dressed in Republican robes, or suits like Lu Qi, who were sitting in the teahouse chatting.
At first glance, most of them should be businessmen.
As for Lu Qi, a pseudo-businessman, why is he here?
The purpose of this is naturally about to come out.
Find out what!
If you want to say that the easiest place to find information in this era, in addition to newspaper reporters, it is naturally this teahouse with a lot of traffic.
All kinds of characters, mixed with fish and dragons.
Lu Qi only needs to listen to one or two, and he can roughly grasp some of the things that are currently happening in Shanghai.
Of course, Lu Qi's biggest purpose here is to find out the specific locations of the Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang.
One might ask, isn't the Axe Gang's home in a cabaret? Isn't that simple?
Go directly to the various song and dance halls in Shanghai to find out.
However, have you ever thought about one thing, that is, in Shanghai in 1940, how many song and dance halls were there at that time?
Presumably, everyone is familiar with the song "Night Shanghai".
Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk.
Wake up hazy and tired, and dream as before.
At that time, the song and dance hall was the biggest place for Shanghai citizens to get drunk and gold.
It's also the most popular venue for gangsters!
It can be said that if a gang does not have a few large dance halls to support the scene, it will not be able to get on the stage and will not enter the stream!
Then it is conceivable that large gangsters like the Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang have at least the number of singing and dancing venues in their hands!
If Lu Qi was asked to explore it one by one, how would he know which was the venue of the Axe Gang or the Crocodile Gang?
As for asking someone, it will only make it easier to expose yourself.
Therefore, it is inferred from the daily habits of Shanghai citizens in 1940.
In the teahouse, it is easier to find some information, or meet some targets that Lu Qi is looking for.
For example, these two who just walked through the door.
"Ah Le, how long do you think it will take for us and the Crocodile Gang to get together?"
A man in a black suit said to the man next to him who was dressed like him.
"Oh, just how much of a threat can the crocodiles help those crooked melons and cracked dates? You're scared of a fart! Are we still afraid of this kind of small gang in the Axe Gang?! Amin, don't worry about it! Even if the sky is falling, there is still a tall one! ”
The man named Ah Le said impatiently.
When the two of them sat down on the table behind Lu Qi, the teahouse guests on the side almost instantaneously lowered the sound of the conversation by a geometric multiple.
I can't help but show nervousness in my eyes.
Everyone is afraid that if they accidentally come out of their mouths, they will get into unnecessary trouble!
Ah Le and Ah Ming simply ignored the reactions of the guests on the side.
As if he had become accustomed to them like this, he continued to talk to himself.
"Am I not worried? After all, even Brother Chen..."
Amin said the back, and involuntarily lowered his voice.
"Don't listen to the nonsense of those newspaper reporters, you weren't there at the time, you just didn't know the situation!"
"I'm telling you, at the time..."
Ah Le whispered to Ah Ming's ear, and his mouth squirmed quickly.
"Really... Are you sure?! ”
After counting the interest.
Amin suddenly asked with a look of horror.
"Shhhh Dinner, we'll stop here on these topics. ”
Ah Le looked at Ah Ming with a frightened look on his face, knowing that the impact of this incident was a bit big, so he changed the topic.
At the same time, he scanned the surrounding teahouse guests with fierce eyes, and almost no one dared to look at them wherever he looked.
Of course, this does not include Lu Qi, who has his back to the two.
"Interesting... Unexpectedly, I just wanted to try my luck here, but I actually bumped into it. ”
The corners of Lu Qi's mouth curled slightly, and he thought to himself secretly.
Because in the current time period, there are only some people who can have spare time to hang out in the teahouse, and there are only some people who live a wealthy life or are engaged in some gray industries.
Now that you hit the target, you can save a lot of time for it.
"This boss, this is the Pu'er you ordered, use it lightly."
Xiao Er put the tea ordered by Lu Qi lightly on the table.
"Hmm."
Lu Qi smiled and nodded in response.
......
"Whew..."
"The Pu'er of this teahouse is quite good, one bite down, the taste is light and astringent, after tasting it carefully, it is mellow and fragrant for a long time, and the tip of the tongue is slightly sweet."
Lu Qi usually drinks less tea, but it is not the first time he has drunk Pu'er.
I have to say that the tea in this era is still quite good.
"Ah Le, have you eaten enough? When we are full, we should go, Lin Er's family gathered the members of the gang today, saying that there is something important to announce, let's not be late. ”
After Ah Ming put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, he said to Ah Le opposite.
"Okay, I'm full, let's go." Ah Le nodded after hearing this.
Then, under the somewhat frightened gaze of Xiao Er on the side, the two of them calmly got up and walked out of the door.
"These days... Is it so natural to eat overlord meals? ”
Lu Qi looked at the two people behind him who left without paying, and couldn't help complaining.
But also, at this time, the current situation of the gangsters, people just eat overlord meals, and no store dares to come forward to ask for food.
Unless, it's the kind of stunned person who is not afraid of death.
Obviously, the little second in this teahouse has experienced this situation many times, and although he cursed the practices of these shameless gangsters in his heart, he still had a respectful smile on his face, and he had to happily say to them 'Welcome to the next time'.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Unless...
You want to die on the streets.
"Smack!"
"Little Er, pay the bill! You don't have to look for the rest. ”
After Lu Qi dropped a piece of the ocean, he got up and left directly!
"This..."
The shopkeeper glanced at the ocean that Lu Qi threw on the table, and then watched his back as he left quickly.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Why is the gap between this person and people so big..."
On the other side, Ah Le and Ah Ming were walking towards the front with their legs and feet.
Behind the two of them, who couldn't see them, Lu Qi, who had activated the stealth function in an uninhabited alley at the intersection, was following them closely.
Yes, Hidden Tailgator, Lu, Killer, Qi!
He! It's live!
"Let's go, fortunately it's not late, hurry in, Lin Er's temper has not been good recently, let's not touch his mold at this time!"
"Well, let's go!"
"Bang!"
Lu Qi, who was invisible, followed the two of them in, and the moment the door was not closed, his figure followed closely and entered an entertainment venue called 'Fa Zhongfa'.
I saw the inside, the crowd was surging!
Help everyone dress up in black suits and have solemn facial expressions!
On a high platform in front of the crowd, Lin Er's family stood expressionlessly in the middle of the stage, looking down.
Behind it, the three big scarlet characters of 'Axe Gang' are quite eye-catching!
