Chapter 2: The Thief

During the Japanese occupation of the Northeast, many teams within the Anti-Japanese Federation were changed from the silks, like the old north wind Zhang Gonghai, all walks of life Zhenshan are good, even Xie Wendong has resisted the Japanese, this is why there is the sentence 'Northeast bandits burn, kill and loot, the only bright spot is to resist Japan', so can there be no thieves in this group of people? Of course not.

Lu Xiang was a famous thief in the Northeast when he was not yet resistant to Japan, to what extent, it is said that this kid once went to Cangzhou, Hebei Province to apprentice with Yanzi Li, and after coming back, he learned a body of ability, and he can shine in the sky.

Swallow Li, refers to Swallow Li San, Swallow is a nickname, Li is the surname, line three, in fact, the rivers and lakes are only called Swallow Li, because often stolen things to the poor, this has a chivalrous name, and then the Japanese are too oppressive of the people, the people gritted their teeth and hated so much that they simply gave this person to the myth.

But according to Lu Xiang, Yanzi Li is not as divine as everyone says.

Night, deep.

When a Japanese military vehicle approached the street, it slowly stopped, and the officer in charge of military discipline got out of the car and kicked down the soldier who was sitting on the roadside steps and was napping.

Lu Xiang didn't understand what he was scolding, but he analyzed another thing, that is, there were not many Japanese troops in Beiman City, otherwise the Japanese soldiers were trapped to such an extent, why didn't they find someone to change shifts?

Seeing this, he admired the embroiderer even more, this woman was as careful as a hair, if she didn't have such a careful analysis and bold decision, she might have missed this opportunity.

Scold.

Lu Xiang took two steps back in the alley, then stepped up to the wall, jumped up and kicked the wall and stretched out his hand to pick up the wall, climbed into it along the outer wall of the Railway Department, and squatted in the shadow of the corner of the wall after landing on the ground, without making a sound at all.

The courtyard of the Railway Department was empty, and the detained goods were placed on both sides covered with canvas, and Lu Xiang was squatting in the corner of the small building of the Railway Department, seeing the situation in the courtyard clearly, and he, dressed in black, seemed to exist in the shadows at all.

Lu Xiang observed the situation and moved his steps cautiously, he was particularly cautious about this place he had never been, and quietly approached the wall of the small building before looking at the door......

In the entire railway department, only two Japanese soldiers stood guard at the gate!

Lu Xiang was a little excited, he hadn't entered such a stealing official yamen for a long time, and he had never felt so righteous and awe-inspiring when he opened the door and stole the hole, and he was so happy in his heart.

He took out a sharp-spiked file from his bosom and began to pry the putty along the window next to him, and when the putty was almost done, he unloaded a complete piece of glass with his hand.

Most of the windows of this era are wooden frames, and the wooden frames are divided into three steps, and each step is a square glass that looks like the whole window is slender and long, which is very good-looking, and such windows are very popular in those days, so thieves carry sharp-mouthed files in their pockets no matter where they go, in order to pry putty to walk through the windows.

When the glass was removed, the lock on the window was useless, Lu Xiang directly opened the window and jumped in, and after entering, he quickly went up the stairs, this is the experience of a habitual thief.

If the official doesn't work on the first floor, won't he be a doorman, so as soon as Lu Xiang came in, he went straight to the stairs, how big can the railway department in Beiman be, isn't the whole building only two floors, and when you go to the second floor to look for it, can you still find the director's office? What's more, many Japanese characters are used, and Lu Xiang believes that he can understand it as long as he comes up.

Sure enough, in the dim light, the sign of 'Director's Office' was hung at the end of the corridor, and Lu Xiang almost didn't laugh when he walked in, the so-called 'Director's Office' was actually locked by an all-wooden door, or a simple lock with a keyhole the size of a silver dollar installed under the doorknob. This thing is not to mention a thief, and anyone with a stronger physique can kick it open.

Lao Lu stretched out his hand and pulled out two wires in his pocket and stabbed the door open in a few clicks, and when he entered the house, he closed the door, and under the moonlight, the safe engraved with the chrysanthemum pattern of the sixteen-petal eightfold table was in front of him.

This is a safe made in Japan, the principle is to add a layer of mechanical insurance on the anti-theft lock, to open this safe needs two unlocking methods to cooperate with each other, the first is the password, after the password is determined, the mechanical insurance will be lifted, the keyhole will be exposed, and then insert the key to complete the unlocking, the safe will be opened.

It's a headache.

But Lu Xiang didn't care, he poured a glass of water without knowing the password at all, then put the water on the top of the safe, and then began to twist the password knob.

Like this kind of safe, generally by the number lock control the key to unlocking, the common number lock has three groups of unlocking numbers, each group has two digit numbers, three groups of number locks inside there are three rotating disc wheels, left and right rotation dial, such as the number is aligned with the outer ring marking line of the number dial respectively, through the transmission device to drive the three wheels to rotate, can make the three disks appear gaps.

When designed in a straight line, the beam that drives the latch falls into the notch of the three platters, and the keyhole where the key can be inserted is now exposed in the very center of the chrysanthemum petals.

For ordinary thieves, this thing is simply an anti-theft artifact, and even many thieves don't know what such a big cabinet is for, but for Lu Xiang? That's a piece of shit.

He stood in front of the safe and twisted the knob in a dashing manner, each movement was very slow, but his eyes never looked at any number, but kept staring at the water glass. That's how he tested the code!

Doesn't your safe have a gearing?

Then you drive, Lu Xiang doesn't believe that the water in the cup will shake for no reason without power, but as long as the water in the cup moves, even if he doesn't feel any movement at all, it means that the transmission device is activated.

Stupid people can't be thieves, especially the famous thieves, none of them have bad brains, even if you have the best lock in the world, you can't stand their research. When Lu Xiang was learning art, he and his master Yanzi Li specially bought safes from various countries in order to study safes, which were studied one by one.

Click.

The faint shaking of the water flow in the water cup three times made Lu Xiang twist the knob right, and then the stamens of the sixteen-petal eight-petal chrysanthemum were removed, and the keyhole was exposed, Lu Xiang didn't even see what the keyhole looked like, took out a key from his pocket and went directly into it, twisted it, and then touched the handle of the safe and broke it down, and the cabinet door was opened without resistance.

Immediately, Lu Xiang showed a contemptuous smile on his face, and said sarcastically: "You little Japan are embarrassed to study locks?" Luban lock is the real king of anti-theft in this world. ”

Mechanical.

When Lu Xiang took out a brown paper belt printed with the words "secret" from the safe, he immediately opened the bag and took out a stack of documents printed with Japanese, although he couldn't understand this thing, but the names of the origin and destination places with the words "Fengtian", "Wuchang", "Xinjing" and so on were written on the grid completely, as well as the marked time and train number, and there was almost no need to ask what this thing was.

Lao Lu put the things back in the bag, and was about to go out but stopped.

If he took it away like this, would Nichiko not know? People modify the shipping time, and everything they do is not all in vain?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang picked up the pen and paper on the desk, reopened the brown paper bag, pulled out the document, and copied it word by word.

When everything was finished, he stuffed the brown paper bag back again, stuffed the densely packed pieces of paper with the words written in his arms, and then turned to leave.

Along the way, how did he get in and how he ran out, he didn't alarm anyone, and when he came out of the wall, Zhang Ziqiang, who was looking at the wind at the mouth of the alley, was in a hurry, and was looking forward to it.

"Why is it so slow!"

Zhang Ziqiang also complained: "Is there anyone watching inside, do you have to do it?" ”

The confident expression on Lu Xiang's face rose, and he slapped it into his arms with a smile, and when the sound of the paper came out, Zhang Ziqiang's face was full of shock: "It's here?" ”

This is the moment of greetings, Lu Xiang didn't pay attention to him, he hurriedly glanced at the street and said, "Stunned and withdraw!" ”

……

Early in the morning, Miki drove to the Railway Department, and he was as proud as usual. At that time, the Railway Administration had already changed its appearance, and the merchants who were waiting here early were greeting each other, and they did not dare to follow the place where Miki passed by and shouted with their feet crossed: "Miki-kun, batch a wagon, if my goods are in spring, they will be all over!" ”

Wagons are the most tense materials in the Northeast, almost everything has to be transported by train, and the highest priority is military supplies, but I don't know what's going on recently, the entire Northeast seems to be in a stage of wagon shortage, and even the railway bureau in a big place like Harbin has to call Miki to ask if there is any spare wagon.

Miki can't even keep his own people busy, and will he still pay attention to the Chinese?

As if he hadn't heard, he walked to his office, the task of the day was to adjust the time for the military supplies to be brought back from Arthur anyway, and the order from above was that 'any unnecessary train must give way'.

What time does that train arrive?

Miki, who deals with numbers every day, couldn't remember a little, he walked into the office, took off his hat and put it away, didn't even have time to drink saliva, immediately walked to the safe and twisted the knob, and when the keyhole at the stamen popped out again, he inserted the key in.

Click.

Miki opened the door of the safe, and was about to reach for the brown paper bag, only to find that the object had changed from the position he had placed yesterday.

It shouldn't be......

Wasn't this thing supposed to lay flat next to the little bag of silver dollars, and why was it stacked on top of each other, as if it had been stuffed in a hurry?

Yesterday...... There was no emergency yesterday, so I couldn't have put it that way...... It's broken, the office is in!

Miki hurriedly checked the desk, trying to find out the traces of people entering this room, but it turned out that the traces of torn paper holes on the letter paper on the desk were still there, and even the placement of the pen was not where it was when he left yesterday...... Someone has taken action on the timetable of military train transportation.
