Seventy-six suits
The day before, Han Daring came home and looked for the casual clothes he usually wore, and there were two sets of suits from school, but they were already a little old. Seeing that Christmas is only a few days away, Han Daring is thinking about going to the George Brown exhibition, he has to dress formally, and if he can't make a suit, he has to take a break to buy a new suit in the past two days.
Early the next morning, he wanted to go to the Investigation Section of the General Office for a while, and then go to the French Concession. As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he heard the news of the thief last night, and You Fei had already been sent to the hospital at this time.
After Han Da'er inquired clearly, he found out that in the first half month, this thief had already patronized twice, and counting You Fei's hand, it was already the third time. It's just that the first two times, although someone watched a figure, no one was hurt, and in the end nothing was lost, so it was better to have more than one thing.
This time, before You Fei was injured, he watched the masked man go to the evidence room, and only then did someone notice the pry marks on the big lock of the evidence room. And this pry mark doesn't seem to have been caused once, it is estimated that this guy tried to pick the lock the first two times, but he couldn't pry it open.
This time, the pry marks were only at the location of the keyhole, and it may be that the masked man couldn't pick the lock before, so he changed the tools this time, but it was still in vain.
Han Daring didn't dare to speak out, after all, he was the one who took the words to send the masked man to the main hall, who would have thought that the masked man was so old that he really dared to come to the tiger's den in Longtan! This time You Fei was injured, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he thought about buying something for a while and going to the hospital to see You Fei.
The captain of the reserve team was scolded by the director of the hall, but Mei showed his face this time, and the old policeman who had just been transferred under his hand fought to the death with the gangsters, and finally tried his best to repel the bandits, although he failed to find someone to catch, but he saved a lot of face for the main hall.
Mei was praised for her ability, and she kept saying in tears that it was all thanks to the wise leadership of the director that everyone under her command could take the lead. A sycophant, and the director of the hall is so comfortable!
I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless! Han Daring knew that Mei loved to blow big pears, but he didn't expect this product to be so good at blowing big pears, blowing big pears while patting on the back, talking nonsense is more like the truth than telling the truth, tears come when they say, and their faces are not red when they talk nonsense.
Still fighting to the death? Do everything in one's power? Although Han Daring felt that he couldn't stand You Fei, but He knew You Fei very well, although You Fei's marksmanship was good, but he really started to move, it is estimated that as soon as the masked man raised his hand, he would have to lie down, all thanks to the German lock in the evidence room, and the main hall would have no loss.
It is estimated that this masked man doesn't know what is in the ebony box, otherwise he will directly set a fire in the main hall, and when the fire burns, everyone will go to fight the fire, and he will have time to rob while the fire is burning. He may also be afraid of burning the camp, and then burn the ebony box together, then it is really called a rice ball is not a rice ball, and a white pill (play)!
Han Daring felt that this masked man had not been able to get his hands on it several times, and he would definitely come again. But he couldn't say it clearly, he used nonsense to bring the masked man to the main hall. If Mei had known the truth, she would have run away if she hadn't done it properly.
In fact, he really thought wrong, Mei had the ability to know that this was attracted by Han Da'er, the first thing was to let him not mention anything, pretending to have nothing to do with this matter at all, saving himself, the most important thing was to cause trouble for him!
Han Dada'er told Mei that it was estimated that there were snitches who were worried about the property confiscated from the previous case of the Sanyang Sect Nine Dao Bends, and a few Tanglin funeral goods. In fact, the funeral goods had already been sent to the Nanjing government at this time, and there were two other things that Mei had kept secret. However, the property of the Sanyang Sect is indeed temporarily stored in the evidence room, and it is indeed a trouble to think about it.
In fact, after the case was concluded, the evidence was either stored or destroyed, and because the evidence was a large amount of gold and silver property, it was temporarily stored here. To put it bluntly, the director of the hall and some of the upper echelons of the general hall have also taken a fancy to this ill-gotten gain, and it is their consistent style to take it from the people for themselves, but they want to wait for a while, and things will fade away, and how to distribute the property with the cards.
A duck can't just fly like that, and let the thief worry about it. So the director of the hall sent three teams of heavily armed policemen to patrol the door of the evidence room in shifts every day. With these dozen guns watching, the Arhats who are beaten by your copper-cast diamond iron want to break in and rob and steal, and it is also overwhelming.
At noon, Han Daring went to buy some fruit snacks and went to the hospital to see You Fei. You Fei is now living in the inpatient unit of Madaifu Hospital.
Han Daring carried his things, and when he entered the ward, he saw that You Fei was sitting on the bed and nibbling on apples!
He was hanging a gauze bandage on one arm, there was no painful expression on his face, and his complexion was not bad, he didn't look like he had suffered an internal injury, but he bared his teeth as soon as he moved his shoulder, it seemed that the injury on his shoulder was definitely real.
There was a woman sitting in front of his bed, accompanied by a sick child. The last time that child Han Dada'er saw him in the teahouse, that woman should be You Fei's wife.
You Fei saw Han Daring coming, and hurriedly asked the woman to move a stool for him to sit down. His voice was quite loud, and the people in the bed next to him cast displeased expressions, but he didn't care at all, just like the one who didn't see the race.
You Fei introduced to Han Da'er:
"I haven't seen it yet, this is your sister-in-law!"
Han Dada's child was injured, and when he saw his family, he couldn't help it, so he quickly nodded and bowed:
"Hello sister-in-law! Hello sister-in-law! ”
You Fei's wife looks generous, unlike ordinary housewives, who are more shy and introverted. After nodding and returning the salute with Han Daring, he counted You Fei two sentences, saying that he would turn off that little salary in a month, thinking that he would be able to rise when he was transferred to the main hall, but who knew that he would encounter danger as soon as he went. He also said that when this errand is done, you have to think that there are still two mouths at home, and if there is danger, you should brake backwards, don't rush forward for everything, and think about your children if you don't think about your wife!
You Fei saw that Han Dada'er was there, and his wife said that it was not good, so she said that the food in the hospital was not delicious, and urged his wife to quickly take the child and go home to make dinner.
His wife chattered him a few more words, and then spread the quilt for him, patted the pillow, and let him sit comfortably on the pillow, and then led the child to say goodbye to Han Da'er and left.
Han Daring and You Fei chatted and found out that although You Fei's arm was dislocated and his bones were a little cracked, he didn't suffer internal injuries at all, it was he who bit his tongue when he fell, so he spit out blood! Zhang Biao was panicked at the time, and when he saw the blood, he thought that You Fei was really seriously injured!
You Fei is a smart person, such a good opportunity to get sick, and it doesn't hurt to "be heavy"!
In fact, although this injury is a wound to the muscles and bones, if you go to Su Langzhong, who specializes in treating bone injuries, to get a plaster, it is estimated that it will return to normal in more than a week, but now it is considered a work-related injury, and the hospitalization is paid by the main hall, so he still doesn't take the money from the main hall, and he is lazy in the hospital, not to mention that he has to live for ten days and a half months before he can stop.
Han Daring saw that You Fei was not seriously injured, and he felt a little relieved in his heart. Anyway, it's not a big deal, there are doctors and nurses in the hospital watching, and Han Da'er is too lazy to worry about it, so he gets it in the hospital.
After going to the hospital, Han Daring went back to the main hall first, changed into civilian clothes in the main hall, and told the rice bucket that Mei had to ask about other things, so he said that he went to visit the clues of the case, and then went out.
Fan Tong saw that Han Daring had changed into civilian clothes and went out, thinking that there was something good, so he leaned over to get wet, but as soon as he heard him say that he wanted to visit the clues, he immediately retreated. has done errands with Han Daring several times, all of which are full of thrills, and of course this trick can still be hidden.
Han Daring originally wanted to find a tailor-made suit, after all, with his height, it was not easy to buy ready-to-wear. But I often go to that suit tailor shop, and today the proprietor has a happy day off.
In fact, there are a few good suit shops in the Japanese concession, such as "Suzuki Dress" and "Okada Dress", which Han Daring also went to a few years ago. Don't look at the Japanese are all small people, but the style and size of the suit can be complete, and the service is thoughtful and attentive.
Although Han Daring has two Japanese classmates and knows two people in the Japanese concession, he still hates this group of Oriental files very much in his bones.
At this time, not long after 918, the Northeast established the puppet Manchukuo, and the domestic anti-Japanese wave was very loud, and Tianjin Wei was also the time to boycott Japanese goods. Therefore, he will not go to the Japanese concession unless he has to, and before that, he was trying to verify the case, and he would not go to the Japanese hospital laboratory if he was either killed.
At that time, the Central Plains Company was a department store after liberation, and it was a shopping mall building jointly opened by overseas Japanese and two Cantonese. At that time, although it was mainly entertainment, there were many shops selling suits in the shopping mall, and the colors and sizes were complete, but the bad thing was that it was opened in Xu Street in the Japanese Concession, so the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and the Central Plains Company was also very depressed in the past two years.
Han Daring thought about it, but decided to go to the French Concession. The French Concession is full of tall foreigners, and there are more people in large suits. So I went around several shopping malls in Quanyechang, Tianxiang, and Taikang, but it didn't fit well, or I didn't like the color. Later, I finally found a fitting one in "Ni Yuanji", but it was a pure white suit, Han Daring was tall and strong, wearing a pure white suit on his body, and he always felt that it was really awkward to compete with the filial piety robe!
In the end, Han Daring remembered Xiao Bailou's "tailor". In fact, it was originally called "Jiangxiali", because there were hundreds of skilled "Red Gang tailors", so it got such a nickname in the tailor. At night, every house here is brightly lit, and the Red Gang tailors use German hand-cranked sewing machines and American pedal sewing machines to make suits for customers.
Among them, there is a suit master He Qingqi, his craftsmanship is second to none in the suit tailoring industry, and there is an endless stream of people looking for him to make suits, even many celebrities and dignitaries from all walks of life come here to customize suits.
Han Dada'er also wanted to try her luck and went to the tailor.
When I got there, there were really a lot of people who made suits, and I said that He Qingqi, and other families estimated that they would have to wait for ten days and a half months. Han Dada'er still went to He Qingqi's house to ask, and learned that it would take at least three months to get a suit before it could be ranked.
When he had no choice but to turn around and leave, he was stopped by He Qingqi's apprentice. I don't know why, Master He suddenly said that he had time to make a suit for Han Da'er, and he would have it in three days.
Han Daring was quite surprised, he thought that the master would let the apprentice do it at most, tailor it for him, and make a suit, who knew that when he entered the house, it turned out that Master He did it himself, and personally tailored it to Han Daring. It is said that except for a few high-profile customers, Master He rarely tailors his customers by himself.
Although Master He was just a craftsman, Han Da'er suddenly felt flattered.
Master He said that he knew that he was a famous detective Han Daring in Jinmen, and in order to thank him for catching the murderer and taking the thief and keeping the people safe, he wanted to make a suit for him in person and give it to him, without receiving a penny.
Han Daring resigned again and again, but Master He was also very stubborn, he insisted on not accepting money, and if he continued to talk about it, he would get angry. Han Daring said that Master He just didn't take money, and in the end he could only follow Master He's wishes.
In fact, Master He's handmade money is not low, you say that he respects the detective Han Daring in front of him, but it is naturally impossible for him to work and produce materials at the same time, a person who does business.
All because at that time, Master He had a customer who came to order suits, this status is not low, and he is Master He's old customer, he saw Han Daring coming to make suits, so he secretly made the best material money, and even the salary had to be paid together, but Master He knew that the tall man in front of him was the detective Han Daring who captured the murderer and the thief, and decided not to pay him to make a suit for free, which is indeed a heartfelt respect.
After measuring the body, Master He asked him to pick up the ready-to-wear clothes three days later, or give an address, which could be delivered directly to the door, and Han Da'er thanked him and rode away.
At this time, the patron in Master He's house who paid the money was secretly watching the back of Han Da'er's departure.
On the way back, Han Daring was also thinking, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and the price was not cheap to choose the materials and make a suit. Although his family has money and makes suits, the tailor master because of his fame, he even brings materials and gives away a suit for nothing, which seems unlikely for a person who does business. Could it be that someone is secretly helping? But if it's an acquaintance, you don't have to hide your head and show your tail, this matter is really incomprehensible.
It was difficult to be kind to Master He just now, but he couldn't take a suit from someone else, so Han Daring made up his mind that he would not pick up the clothes after three days, but still buy a suit and ready-to-wear.
Han Daring saw that it was not far from Lao Bai's tavern, so he went to ride a bicycle to find Lao Bai, and wanted to go to Nanshi to eat water and explode his stomach together. When he arrived at Lao Bai's house, Han Daring said that he was making a suit just now, and it was a coincidence, Lao Bai had just made a new suit some time ago, so he asked Han Daring to take it directly.
Originally, the family introduced a Russian girl to Lao Bai, who was also a descendant of the exiled Tsarist nobles, who had just moved to Tianjin Wei a few years ago, and the family was in business. The family wanted Lao Bai to wear this suit and go to a ball held by a Russian family with the girl.
Listening to Han Daring's talk about making suits, let Han Daring wear this suit directly to the banquet, Lao Bai and Han Daring are about the same height, and Han Daring also fits very well in a suit. But after all, this is done by people on a blind date, and it is really inappropriate to let yourself wear it before you get on.
Lao Bai said that this suit will not be worn until the New Year's Day ball, and Han Da'er will wear it on Christmas Eve, just give it to him when he comes back, besides, there are a lot of suits at home, and he can wear any of them. The most important thing is that Lao Bai is still quite resistant to this kind of thing, although the new suit is done, he doesn't want to go at all. Even if Han Daring doesn't wear it, he may not be able to wear it.
With the relationship with Lao Bai, Han Daring did not shirk, took a suit and Lao Bai went to find a little Jew, and the three of them had a meal of water and burst their stomachs together, got drunk, and almost left the suit on the belly stall.
Three days later!
The next day I was going to George Brown's Christmas Eve mini-show. When I got up early in the morning, someone called the door at the door of Han Daring'er's house, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was He Qingqi's little apprentice in the tailor, and the child was standing at the door with a ready-to-wear box, and came to send a suit to Han Daring.
Han Daring thought that he hadn't said where to live that day, and this tailor's ability was too great, so he could find a home. He wanted to refuse, but the little apprentice said that he couldn't explain if he didn't take it back.
Han Daring asked the little apprentice who was in the shop when he went that day, and the little apprentice said that he really didn't know, so he turned around and left. Han Daring stopped him, and still according to the official price, he forced the money for the suit and even the work materials to the little apprentice.
The little apprentice didn't accept it, but Han Daring scared him a few words, and said that he would take the clothes back if he didn't collect the money, and the child was only over ten years old, about the same age as Wei Xiaowu.
Han Daring took the suit back, he didn't wear it, he was afraid that this was a conspiracy of the Sanyang Sect, but he opened the box carefully, and found that the suit was not the material he chose that day, and he had doubts in his heart. He quickly took out his clothes and shook them, but found that there was nothing unusual, so he put them back in the box and put them on the desk.
He didn't expect that fortunately he didn't wear this suit, and he escaped a catastrophe, but if he dodged, others might not be able to dodge!
