On the other side, when Lin Mo turned out of the street just now, his steps slowed down and he stood on the side of the street with an expressionless face, thinking quietly.
To be honest, Lin Mo already noticed something was wrong the moment he went out, but he just acted out the whole way to avoid alerting the other party.
The flaw also stems from the answer to patents. At this time, the Republic of China did not have a formal patent protection law, and not many people knew about patents, let alone had patent protection awareness.
What's more important is that the store owner's previous conversations with Lin Mo were all humorous and full of jokes, but he changed his style when it came to the patent's answer. Lin Mo had reason to believe that the store owner knew about the patent, but finally let it slip.
panic.
Why are you panicking? This is worth considering. Although it is possible that the past is too painful to look back on, as an intelligence worker, any clue is worthy of his investigation.
Lin Mo is now assuming the identity of the store owner as an espionage agent. Now he is struggling with whether the other party is a member of our party. He is afraid of launching an investigation into him. In the end, he will be self-defeating and harm his comrades.
After some consideration, Lin Mo decided to conduct a simple investigation first. The main purpose was to rule out the identity of the other party's Japanese spy. As long as he was not a Japanese spy, Lin Mo would just pretend that nothing happened today.
After thinking about it, Lin Mo bought some other clothes, then went to a nearby hotel to get a room and give himself a makeover.
Although the conditions were limited, Lin Mo still put in a lot of effort. He got a gray plaid peaked cap on his head, removed his glasses and beard, and applied something to his eyebrows to make them appear darker and thicker.
The upper body is made up of a gray plaid vest, a light gray shirt underneath, and a down vest that changes the shape of the body. This time I chose a slightly thinner one, and there is almost no problem with it from the outside.
The lower body is wearing gray plaid trousers, a dark gray copper-buckle canvas belt, and on the feet is a pair of classic high-top canvas shoes. Converse has appeared in 1902. There is no doubt that they are the kind of canvas shoes that everyone remembers.
With this outfit, Lin Mo immediately looked young and energetic. From the image of a somewhat serious young teacher just now, he suddenly transformed into a student exuding youthful vitality.
After checking his whole body and making sure that there was nothing wrong, Lin Mo picked up his bag and went downstairs, taking advantage of the break to leave the hotel, and left quietly.
In the tailor shop, the shop owner was thinking about the problem, and the young apprentice was rolling his eyes aside. He hesitated several times and finally spoke.
"Second uncle, do you think he is the group of agents who have been causing a lot of trouble recently, the group that caught Japanese devils, and his name is so-and-so."
"That's right..." The shop owner suddenly remembered what the traffic officer had told him before, telling them to be wary of this new group of Kuomintang agents. However, he had never dealt with them before, so he didn't think about these people for a while.
But after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong. I turned around and stared at my little nephew and said, "I remember I didn't tell you about this! Have you forgotten the disciplines I told you..."
"No, no..." the shop owner's tone increased unintentionally. The young apprentice was startled, and quickly waved his hands, explaining: "You spoke a little too loudly that day. I was standing outside and vaguely heard some of it. I even told you afterwards
You mentioned that your voice was too loud! Have you forgotten?"
The store owner remembered that this was indeed the case, and felt a little embarrassed. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Yes, I wrongly blamed you. You see, your mind is thinking very fast now. Do you know that you will continue to work hard in the future?"
"
"Hmm..." The little apprentice nodded like a fool. In fact, he was a little embarrassed by this compliment. Although he didn't mean it that day, he was still eavesdropping. He was so excited that he couldn't forget what the store owner just said.
When he mentioned that this special agent was not simple, he immediately thought of those people.
On that day, in order to attract the shop owner's attention to this matter, the traffic officer even talked about the intelligence office's recent achievements in dealing with Japanese spies. When it comes to treating the Japanese, even if they are enemies, they can't help but feel happy, so the traffic officer can't help but talk about it.
The sound was amplified, and the little apprentice outside the door also felt excited when he heard it.
The shop owner didn't care about the little apprentice, but carefully recalled the situation introduced by the traffic officer at that time. It's not that he didn't pay attention to the situation, but he always regarded the Intelligence Department as the same existence as the secret service headquarters, and they were all Kuomintang agents. In his heart
The two are not clearly distinguished.
"Alas..." the shop owner sighed and said with a wry smile: "I thought the news from my comrades was a bit exaggerated before, but now it seems that it is not exaggerated at all, and is even far more difficult and cunning than what the intelligence said.
"
After hearing this, the young apprentice tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Second uncle, since they are dealing with the Japanese, we have nothing to worry about, right? After all, these are powerful, and the ones who have to deal with them are little Japan."
"You can't say that..." After coming back to his senses, the shop owner said: "Xiaojie! It's true that they are dealing with the Japanese. We need to be sure of this, but after all, we are in different camps and are still hostile to each other.
camp, this sharp knife can best be pointed at our common enemy, but it may also be aimed at us, so the precautions and vigilance we should have are also indispensable."
The store owner also saw it. His nephew obviously didn't hear the whole situation. The intelligence department was dealing with the Japanese, but it was also dealing with them at the same time. It's just that they weren't in the same wave. Those targeting him didn't seem to be that powerful.
He estimated that if the person just now was really from the Intelligence Department, he would most likely be the one who dealt with the Japanese.
However, these shop owners will not explain it to the young apprentice for the time being. For the same reason, his nephew is still too young. If he points it out to him, his efforts to divert his attention will almost be in vain.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's get down to business first! I still have a few sets of orders that I haven't finished yet! Now hurry up, after we finish, we will go find channels and find ways to get some down."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Uncle, are you really going to make that down vest and sell it? Is this necessary?"
"That's natural..." The store owner smiled and said: "Otherwise you think I wasted my breath by mentioning this to others? The organization's funds are relatively tight now. We must seize this opportunity and earn some activities for the organization.
Funding.”
"Oh..." the young apprentice responded, his little face wrinkled again, and said: "Second uncle, is this unreliable? Winter has passed long ago, and summer is coming soon. If you make something at this time, you can sell it.
?"
Hearing this, the shop owner smiled and said: "You don't understand this. The plum rain season is about to enter in Jiangnan. It will rain continuously, humid and cold, which will not be comfortable.
When the time comes, you have to wear winter clothes, which are bulky and inflexible. Winter clothes can easily get wet when worn outside. During that time, you can't even wear normal clothes, let alone winter clothes.
The rainy season is not like winter, it is just a kind of cold, not as cold as the cold wind blowing. Such a small waistcoat is enough to keep warm without affecting the flexibility of the body. Wearing it inside will not get wet even if it rains a little.
There should be quite a market for it when it is launched.”
"That's it..." The young apprentice's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly answered: "Second uncle, I'm afraid there are not many people who can afford down vests. Are you getting some cotton wool and making cotton vests for sale?"
"Greedy..." After scolding the little apprentice with a smile, the shop owner said: "There are only two of you and me in this shop, and you can only do a little bit at most. I can only sew as much as I can. Do you think we are running a factory?"
Or do you think I’m a machine?”
After hearing this, the young apprentice was still a little unwilling to give up and said: "Second uncle, can you talk to the organization and send us more manpower, or ask other qualified comrades to follow suit?"
"Why are you so stubborn?" the store owner said to the young apprentice, but in the end he patiently explained: "Don't forget what our mission is? Making money is just a way to supplement some funds.
Making money is only for underground work. Ensuring the success of the mission is the prerequisite for making money. Sending more people to us will not expand the scope of knowledge of this secret location? This is against the discipline of underground work.
As for asking other qualified comrades to follow suit, do you think the spies are fools? Once the involvement of everyone is exposed on a certain day, and once the spies find out the connection, how many comrades will be exposed to danger?
Even if you have such an idea, it seems that the requirements for you are indeed too loose. I'm afraid I won't have much time to teach you if you follow me. I'm wondering if you should go back to school again."
"I..." The young apprentice wanted to object, but looking at the protective face of his second uncle, the young apprentice's objections were blocked in his throat and could not be uttered.
The young apprentice used to go to school in his hometown and went to junior high school. However, since his parents passed away, he no longer had the intention to study. Later, he was brought here by the worried shop owner.
To be honest, the store owner had thought about letting his nephew go back to school before, but the nephew never went, so he never got his wish. But what happened today made him make up his mind that a specialized place like school would be more suitable for his nephew.
growing up.
"Xiaojie! At your age, it is still suitable for you to be in school. I will think of a way to entrust you to others to take care of you and arrange for you to continue to go back to school."
Speaking of this, the shop owner saw that the young apprentice was still reluctant, so he continued: "I know what you mean, but you are still young and can't help much now. You can learn a lot from me."
limited.
Go to school and study hard. When you grow up and learn your skills, you will be able to do more. This is the real thing you should accomplish at your age. Besides, your parents are here to urge you to work hard.
Just study.”
The shop owner has been in Nanjing for a long time and has a clear understanding of the situation. In the past seven years, the party organization in Nanjing has suffered seven major damages, various minor damages, and countless arrests. They say that Nanjing is their dragon's pit and tiger's den.
It's not an exaggeration.
To be honest, I have no regrets about bringing my nephew here rashly. It is impossible. It is too dangerous for my nephew to stay with him and it may also affect his work, especially today's emergency.
This cunning spy sounded the alarm for him.
"Old Xu, go take a bath..." The shop owner was about to say something to the young apprentice when a shout came from outside the door.
At this time, Lin Mo happened to walk to the tailor shop. When he saw someone calling him the shop owner, he turned around and quickly walked into the snack bar next to him. He chose an empty table at the door and quietly peeped at the movement outside the door.
At this time, Lin Mo had changed again compared to when he left the hotel. His cheeks were fatter, he looked a little baby fat, and he looked younger. His handbag was gone and replaced with a brown paper bag of various preserved fruits.
He looks like a greedy young man.
Of course, Lin Mo didn't have the ability to suddenly gain weight. He just put two preserved plums in his cheeks. It was so sweet that it made his teeth hurt. However, in order to change the shape of his face, he had to endure it.
As for the handbag, he originally planned to find a store to store it, but when he met a coachman he knew on the road, he gave the bag to him for temporary storage.
The man calling was in his fifties, with some gray hair, but his face was always cheerful and energetic. He was holding a small bamboo basket in his hand, and you could see towels and soap in it.
"Old Tian, you can go alone! I may be busy recently and don't have time!" The store owner went out and said hello to the old man.
The old man's surname is Tian, a neighbor next to his shop. He is an old Nanjing native. Two large tile-roofed houses were passed down to him from his ancestors. One of them was on the street next to it. They were converted into several shops for rent. The family relied on the rent to live a prosperous life.
Recently, a new bathhouse opened nearby. Old man Tian, who usually had nothing to do, became obsessed with bathing for some reason. He likes to bathe for half a day almost every day.
The shop owner usually needs to personally receive customers who come to the door and keep it clean. There are many things in the shop and he is busy alone, so he doesn't have time to boil water and take a bath. The new bathhouse is not far away, so he has a habit of going there from time to time to wash himself. After a few times, he has developed the habit.
Got into the bathing habit.
We are close to each other and see each other often. Mr. Tian is also a talkative person who can't stop talking. One of them is good at talking and the other loves to talk. After going back and forth, the two of them have become familiar with each other.
"You can work at any time. If you miss one day of bathing, won't you miss one day of bathing in your life?"
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Seeing what this nonsense said, I was speechless. Did the bath water get into my brain?
The shop owner slowed down and said with a wry smile: "I'm not your old man, I still have to earn money to eat! I'll earn him a fortune after working hard for a while, and then I can have a good time like you."
Or rather, one could talk and the other could talk. The two of them started chatting at the door, talking about everything from today's newspaper news to...
The small shop that Lin Mo entered sold duck blood vermicelli. After already eating, Lin Mo ordered a bowl of small portion. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the landlady brought it, he asked the landlady about the door in a tone of watching the excitement.
Two people chatting happily.
The proprietress was enthusiastic and easy to talk to. There was no one in the store after dinner time, so she started chatting with Lin Mo. Not only did she talk about the two of them, she also mentioned the newly opened bathhouse and complained that her man had to take a bath.
Spend money randomly to go to the bathhouse.
However, while she was complaining, the smile on her face did not diminish. It was obvious that the relationship between the couple was not bad, and yes, even going to the bathhouse and spending money was a waste of money, which meant that her husband usually spent a lot of money on other places.
There are many temptations in this era. Pornography, gambling, and drugs are basically open to the public. If you have the money and can avoid these things, such a man is indeed a good man, and it is normal for a husband and wife to reconcile.
