On the left side of Jixiang Rice Store, there is a person reading a newspaper and two people chatting. On the right side, there is a mobile vendor selling cigarettes, and another person is helping others shine their shoes.
These people are all between 20 and 45 years old and are young adults. It is a bit abnormal for five or six young adults to appear around a rice store at the same time.
Are they targeting themselves or Midian?
Liu Dacheng waved to a rickshaw, got on the rickshaw, and said, "No. 76, Jisfield Road."
"Okay."
The rickshaw driver ran as fast as he could, and he only heard the whistling of the wind along the way. Liu Dacheng looked at the mirror in his hand and found that the young and middle-aged people had not left, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Since those people are not targeting you, they are probably targeting Midian. If Midian is targeted by them, the consequences will be serious.
Liu Dacheng realized that he was really short of manpower! In this troubled world, if he did not control enough armed forces, he would never be able to straighten his waist.
To master such a force, it is impossible without money.
Liu Dacheng realized the importance of money and immediately asked the rickshaw driver to go to the industrial area of the French Concession. The Huahong Woolen Textile Factory was the Liu family's old industry. Since the killings a few months ago, only the Liu family's blood relatives were left.
When Xia Liu was reached, the factory was abandoned.
There is also a director of Huahong Woolen Textile Factory guarding the gate. He is Zeng Zhiquan.
Zeng Zhiquan never imagined that Liu Cheng would suddenly come to the factory.
"Mr. Liu, you are finally back? Where have you been these past few months?"
His face was filled with tears when he talked about it. Liu Chengda and Zeng Zhiquan hugged each other and cried.
"It'll be good if you come back. There will be hope for the Liu family when you come back."
Zeng Zhiquan wiped his tears while forcing a smile. After all, the Liu family still has a single seedling left!
The tragedy happened while Liu Dacheng was injured. At that time, Liu Dacheng himself was uncertain about his life or death. Later, he joined the Japanese Army Special High School and was trained in isolation for three months. Therefore, he did not have time to go home and take care of the property.
"Uncle Quan, you have spent most of your life working on the Liu family's property. Even if I come back now, I won't have time to take care of the business. I will still have to rely on you to run it."
"Young master, are you going abroad again?"
"No, I am on duty on the 76th now."
"What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? You turned out to be a traitor?"
Zeng Zhiquan was like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly barking. Liu Dacheng could feel it, he was very disgusted in his heart!
Zeng Zhiquan was an elder who watched Liu Chengda grow up. When he was a child, Liu Chengda would sit on his shoulder and ride a "horse" when he had nothing to do. Now that he heard that Liu Chengda was working for Wang Puppet Government, an inexplicable anger burst out from his heart.
Zeng Zhiquan's feelings are very fiery. Liu Dacheng needs this kind of fieryness!
"Uncle Zeng, don't worry. Sit down first and I'll tell you slowly."
...
After coming out of Honghua Woolen Mill, Liu Dacheng felt relaxed all over.
As long as the Honghua Woolen Mill is revitalized and enough money is made, there will be opportunities to do more useful things for the country.
When he came to the street, Liu Dacheng used a public phone to call Jixiang Rice Store to remind Wei Qiang to pay attention to the people outside the door, and then took a taxi to the Japanese Military Police Special High School.
Hideko Kawashima was surprised by the arrival of Liu Cheng. She was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic and heroic.
Kawashima Hideko was well aware of Liu Dacheng's recent activities, especially since he was assigned by Li Shiqun to investigate the robbery case at Wanfu Cigarette Shop, and his attitude was very ambiguous.
She asked: "Liu Sang, do you have any clues about the Wanfu Cigarette Shop case?"
"No." Liu Dacheng took Hideko Kawashima's tea cup and said: "To be honest with Miss Hideko, this is an unsolved case. The murderer was too heavy-handed. Butler Chai was beaten into a vegetative state and there was no way to record a confession. There was no way to record a confession at the scene.
No valuable clues were left."
Hideko Kawashima sneered at Li Shiqun's actions and was very dissatisfied. She said: "Director Li has gone too far. He treats you all as his domestic slaves. Who doesn't know that he occupies the opium den?"
Eighty percent of the shares? He uses his power for personal gain and doesn’t even need a fig leaf. For this reason, Section Chief Yoshida has an opinion."
With Hideko Kawashima's words, Liu Dacheng knew what he should do. It was just to hang around behind Zhang Jiangsheng.
Want to solve a crime? Dream on!
"Miss Xiuzi, does Director Li have any other purpose for sending me to assist Director Zhang in solving the case?"
"What purpose could he have? It's just to show me. He wants to declare to me that he has the right to mobilize my people!"
Kawashima Hideko hit the nail on the head. Liu Chengda did not expect this level. The influence of official circles turned out to be so complicated.
"Liu Sang, you came to see me, are you okay?"
"Miss Xiuzi, it has been almost four months since the Liu family tragedy. I don't dare to go back and face it. Today I went to Huahong Woolen Textile Factory, which was my father's property during his lifetime. Now it is deserted. There is only one factory guard.
My hometown slave. If possible, I would like to restore it to production. I wonder if it is feasible?"
"Of course. Shanghai is our rear area, and its economic prosperity is more conducive to the empire's cause. What help do you need from me?"
"At the very least, don't have too many military personnel to interfere with the company's production. Therefore, I want to take 40% of the shares of Huahong Woolen Mill and allocate them to military personnel, such as Miss Kawashima and Section Chief Yoshida
, Commander of the Military Police, Commander Shun Tada, and others.”
When Hideko Kawashima heard this, his face felt hot, as if he had been slapped, and he said angrily: "If it's done, I don't need it. Section Chief Yoshida and Commander Tada Shun should consider it. Besides, the woolen mill produces
Our products are both civilian products and strategic materials. Without the support of the military, you will be unable to move forward."
"Miss Hideko, if you don't want my shares, I will feel uneasy!"
Hideko Kawashima rolled her eyes at him and thought to herself, sooner or later you will be mine, let alone a small woolen factory? Liu Dacheng couldn't help but panic when he caught such information.
Hideko Kawashima has always been inseparable from love for her budding feelings. The thirty-six scars on Liu Da's body seem to have been deeply burned into the deepest part of her soul.
"Natsuchi-kun, don't come forward on this matter. Let me negotiate with them. I think Yoshida-sensei will still give me some face. Commander Tada Shun is Yoshida-sensei's fellow Osaka fellow. In this way, everything will be fine.
Everything will fall into place.”
Hearing this, Liu Chengda stood up and bowed to Hideko Kawashima to express his gratitude. Kawashima Hideko held his shoulders and said with an affectionate look: "Chengda, I don't like you doing this to me."
"You are my superior."
"But I'm your friend too!"
"Thank you, Miss Hideko, for your kindness. I'll take my leave first."
Under the loving eyes of Hideko Kawashima, Liu Dacheng left the special high school class. The streets were bustling with people. The sunshine was a little blurry. Thinking of the strangers outside the Jixiang rice store, he could not remember who they belonged to.
