Yang Qingshan felt that he dared not say that Bai Chongxin was really a match for Kong Ming, but his cunning plan was really surprising!
However, they are afraid of saying a "but" in everything! No matter how smart, wise and cunning Bai Chongxin is, Yang Qingshan at least wants to say a "but" to him in his heart! This "but" is that Bai Chongxin secretly communicates with the Japanese!
In the past, in order to deal with the Chen Zifeng gendarmerie and the Chi family of the Pengchuan gang, the enemy of the enemy is a friend! This is nothing!
But now in Chongqing, there is no tentacle to help the Chi family! Chen Zifeng's gendarmerie has almost become his own, and the matter of secretly communicating with the Japanese has a different meaning!
However, he may still need Bai Chongxin in the future, and he cannot break this path!
Therefore, he agreed immediately, "Okay, let's meet at Sichuan Shu Restaurant at noon today."
16-29
In order to show respect, Yang Qingshan arrived at Sichuan Shu Restaurant ten minutes early.
But when he entered the door, he saw Bai Chongxin sitting in the corner! He immediately realized that Bai Chongxin coming to him was not an ordinary thing!
At this time, Bai Chongxin stood up to greet him, and Yang Qingshan also clasped his fists and saluted. The two of them were smiling brightly, humbly taking their seats, clinking glasses to each other, and chatting with each other for a while about the weather, the war, dock business, etc.
At this point, Bai Chongxin slowly turned to the topic.
"Brother Qingshan, I have a favor to ask for today." Bai Chongxin put down his wine glass and looked at Yang Qingshan with a smile.
"Brother Chongxin, no matter what, just say it!" Yang Qingshan always called Bai Chongxin Lao Bai, and Bai Chongxin called him Boss Yang. Today, he suddenly changed his name to "Brother Qingshan", which really made him a little uncomfortable, so he had to follow suit.
He changed his tune.
"Brother has recently taken on a special task, which has caused a lot of trouble." Bai Chongxin said lightly.
"Brother Chongxin, no matter what, as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"
"This is a secret mission, and orders from above are strictly confidential." Bai Chongxin gradually lowered his voice, looking very mysterious.
"Secret mission! You don't want to be promoted, right?" Yang Qingshan laughed after saying this.
"Brother Qingshan is making a joke. Gao Sheng is out of the question. The key is that this is kept strictly confidential!"
"Please tell me, I will try my best!"
"In a few days, a government ship will dock at the pier, and I'm asked to find a safe and secure pier. As for why this is happening, to be honest, I don't know much about it! I've thought about it a lot, and I can't believe it.
The only one who can keep the secret is your brother Qingshan's Fenghuang Terrace Pier 4." At this point, Bai Chongxin's eyes became even more mysterious!
"Lao Bai," Yang Qingshan returned to his old nickname, "the government ship is going to dock at my Pier 4, so what else can I say? There is absolutely no problem! The cost is also easy to talk about! Is this okay?"
"Boss Yang," Bai Chongxin also used the old title from the past, "the key is that no one can know that this is a government ship that undertakes secret missions! No one can know! Including Director Yang of the National Investigation Agency, including Chen Zifeng
The gendarmerie!”
Yang Qingshan was greatly surprised by such a request. The Wharf Inspection Office and Chen Zifeng's gendarmerie belonged to the government, but they couldn't be informed. This was strange!
"Why?" he asked casually.
"Boss Yang, no matter how much it is, I don't know much about it. I only know that this ship has a secret mission! When others see this ship, you can only say that it is an ordinary merchant ship that is temporarily parked at the dock for a few days. No matter how much it is, it can't be
said."
Yang Qingshan thought about it for a moment. The government has a secret mission ship docked at Pier 4. It may be something that Lao Bai promised. After all, this is the government's business and has nothing to do with my terminal business. It is just occupying the pier.
It’s just a berth, so it’s not a big deal!
He said readily: "Lao Bai, don't worry, it's no problem! When the ship comes, you say hello to me and I will make sure to arrange it. If others ask, I will say that this ship is waiting for goods.
Just load the goods and leave, okay?"
Bai Chongxin burst out laughing, "This is the best, this is the best! You helped me do this, and it also helped me gain face in front of the superiors. If Boss Yang can use me in the future, just say, I will definitely
try best!"
A matter that sounded very mysterious was discussed and decided. They had a few more glasses before taking their leave.
16-30
Bai Chongxin left Chuanshu Restaurant, found a public phone on the street, and called Mr. Makino.
He said: "Mr. Makino, the berth you want has been arranged, and it is at Pier 4 of Phoenix Terrace."
Yingji said on the phone: "Okay, okay, Mr. Bai, I believe you also told Mr. Yang to keep it confidential."
Bai Chongxin said: "This is certain, please rest assured! However, you must tell me in advance when the ship will arrive, so that I can inform Boss Yang to make early arrangements. If I arrange a berth temporarily, people may notice it!"
Takashi kept saying, "Absolutely, definitely. I'll give you two days' notice. That should be enough."
Bai Chongxin said: "That would be the best. If there is anything else you want me to do, just say it."
Afterwards, Bai Chongxin said goodbye to Mr. Makino on the phone and walked quietly on the mountain road back.
At this time, Bai Chongxin didn't have much thought about this ship.
He had a vague feeling that the boat arranged by Mr. Makino should be to deal with Chen Zifeng's gendarmerie! Okay! As long as it is to deal with Chen Zifeng's gendarmerie, I will have no problem here!
I can suggest that Boss Yang establish a relationship with Chen Zifeng! That is business behavior, nothing! But Mr. Makino wants to deal with Chen Zifeng, that is what I am most happy to see! Nothing more!
16-31
As mentioned before, Qiang Hu’s mission this afternoon is to look for poker cards in various commercial streets!
Before going out, he and his three brothers carefully observed the two bloody playing cards!
Qiang Hu is good at playing cards. He knows that the j of diamonds is Hector, who is the attendant of Charles I. In "Gongzhu", it is "sheep", which is a positive score. And the q of spades is Pallas, she
She is the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, and is the only queen among the four queen cards who holds a weapon. In "Gong Pig", it is a "pig", a negative score, and a card that no one wants.
The colorful patterns of these two portrait cards and the blue patterns behind them are the most common ones. They are so commonplace that they don't actually make much sense.
However, Qiang Hu still raised his head and stared at them and asked, "What problem do you see?"
One of the brothers came here with Han Jindong, his name is Ge Baoshan. He is thinner than Li San, and he is also a speedster.
He blinked and said, "Brother Hu, how do I look at it? This card is a bit big."
Qiang Hu laughed loudly and said, "What a good eye! There is a deck of cards under my pillow. You can go and get it."
Ge Baoshan was really a quickie. He only went out for a minute and then he brought the poker under Qiang Hu's pillow.
The heads of these two cards are the same, and the blue pattern on the back is quite similar, with only a slight difference. But when the two cards are put together, it can be seen that the blood-stained playing card is slightly larger. Qiang Hu took a ruler and measured it.
Two millimeters wide.
He looked up and said: "We are looking for cards of this size today! Let's go!"
16-32
At this time, the situation is not only strange, but even a little dangerous!
Therefore, Qiang Hu did not dare to let the brothers search separately! But if four people search together, it will obviously be slower.
Qiang Hu's method is to walk in pairs on both sides of the street. When he encounters a store, he goes in and takes a look. When he sees playing cards, he measures them with the small ruler in his hand. If the size is not right, he comes out again.
They walked eastward from Zhongshan, then turned onto Zhongzheng Road. The road gradually curved northward, and finally reached Xiaoshizi.
Xiaoshizi is almost the most prosperous place in Chongqing. There are many shops on both sides of the street, one after another. Department stores, restaurants, restaurants, bookstores, theaters, antique shops, bookstores, etc., there is everything.
After Qiang Hu and his three brothers walked around in a large circle, when they got together again, they all had doubts in their eyes. They looked at each other, as if they wanted to find out the answer from others' eyes.
.
Qiang Hu said: "What's going on? What do you think? Just say it!"
Ge Baoshan looked at the brothers beside him and finally said: "The poker cards in our hands are actually the most common poker cards!"
Qiang Hu nodded, "That's right! Go on!"
Ge Baoshan added: "These pokers are sold everywhere in small department stores of all sizes! But damn, they are not of this size! Isn't this a strange thing? The place where you can buy this kind of poker is either not in Chongqing
!Either it’s a very special place! There’s nothing else like it!”
Qiang Hu tilted his lips and smiled sinisterly, "Brother, you have the same idea as me! Point in a direction!"
Ge Baoshan seemed a little proud, and pointed to the west, "Brother Hu, in the direction of Tongyuan Gate! There is Consul Lane there, where foreigners are most concentrated! I think that place is very special!"
Qiang Hu nodded vigorously, "Let's go! Go to Tongyuanmen!"
16-33
Qiang Hu and his three brothers walked westward along Zhongzheng Road, crossed Jiaochangkou, got on Heping Road, and continued westward. An entire hour later, they saw the small building of the German Consulate.
I know it's not far from Consul Lane.
There are many foreign consulates in this area of Consul Lane, hence the name Consul Lane.
In addition, there are many foreign trading companies and companies here, and even more foreigners live here. The life scene in this area is very different from other places in Chongqing, and it almost has its own system and pattern.
A major feature of this area is that there are many coffee shops, bars, Western restaurants, bakeries, and Western-style tailor shops. All of these shops serve foreigners living in this area.
Naturally, there are many large and small department stores here!
At this time, something strange happened. Qiang Hu and his brothers entered many department stores in the small streets and alleys near Consul Lane. As long as they sold poker cards, they had to go up and ask, and get some.
They came out to take a look, and finally took a small ruler to measure, but they didn't find the size they were looking for!
