Chapter 306 The Night Breaks into the Bookstore (2)
"Shen Baixiang." Jin Hu said on the phone.
Mu Tian pondered for a moment and felt that as a contact point, it was understandable to prepare an escape route in case of an accident. However, Jin Hu said that there was also a small darkroom, which made him feel strange, and made him want to know who the contact person was. Liu Qinghuai obtained intelligence and instructions here, and also transmitted intelligence and instructions to the outside world through here.
It would be terrible if this contact point were to be taken down.
He decided to use the issue of Hu Ti's wedding photos another day to investigate again. The most important thing in front of him was about the necklace. This was not just a problem on Watanabe Avenue, but about the Xuan Sheng Gui. Mu Tian wanted to find it. and take it back.
Amei Tong’s bookstore opened on Sichuan North Road near the Suzhou River. It was originally a wetland swamp full of reeds. Later, the Ministry of Industry and Industry filled it in and sold it to a British businessman. They developed a house and named it In Luhuali, an alley is directly connected to the main road, making the transportation very convenient.
Tong Amei's house is also a small single-family building, with three floors above and three floors down. All the houses in Luhuali are below three floors, probably because of the foundation problem.
The doorbell rang for a while, and Amei Tong went downstairs to open the door herself.
As soon as she saw Yingzi, she took her hands affectionately and kissed her on the cheek.
Yingzi was not used to this kind of French greeting ceremony. More importantly, she felt like there was a layer of powder on her face. She wanted to wipe it off, but it felt rude, so she tried her best to endure it.
When Tong Amei saw Mu Tian behind Yingzi, she was not only enthusiastic but also surprised.
This man is so handsome that it burns his bones and his heart. Looking at his demeanor, he is absolutely radiant, like a bright light in the night sky.
Amei Tong was stunned for a moment, regained her composure, and quickly invited them upstairs, saying that the guests were all waiting upstairs. She also said that everyone didn't drink much, so they were just waiting for Yingzi, a peerless beauty.
Amei Tong's study apartment is very standardly furnished. There is a guest dining room in the middle of the first floor, and the kitchen next to it to the north. There is an old woman and two maids living in each of the three rooms. The old woman looks like an honest country girl, judging from the accent She was from the Ningbo area. The maid seemed to be from somewhere in the north of the Yangtze River. She was tall and thick, and she looked like she was used to do some heavy work.
Amei Tong said that this was her distinguished guest, and told the old lady and the maid to look at them in the future. The two of them hurriedly bowed to Yingzi and Mutian, and then returned to their room.
Up the second floor is a rather spacious living room, but it looks very private. The four transparent windows at the front and back are all covered with scarlet curtains. The curtains are a bit old, and there are faint traces of cigarette burns on the corners. But it Reflecting the bright electric light in the room, everything became red and exuded an indescribable ambiguity.
Five or six fashionably dressed young women with different appearances were surrounding a man who looked quite dignified, wearing a navy blue plaid suit and a black tie. He was very muscular, with meticulous and smooth hair.
The man seemed to be telling them a story. When Tong Amei led Yingzi and Mu Tian up, the women were laughing in disgustingly. It was probably because the man told a funny plot.
"Sisters, come, let me introduce you." Tong Amei clapped her hands and shouted.
The women turned their attention to Yingzi beside Tong Amei.
"Oh, she really looks like a fairy."
"That's right, where did Sister Tong find this?"
"Sister Tong is going to get rich now."
"That's right, no man can stand up to such a woman."
"It's so beautiful that even I'm jealous."
"Even if I were a man, I wouldn't be able to move even if I saw such a beauty."
"So what if you're a man? I didn't see him bringing his son with him."
Amei Tong waited for them to discuss for a while, clapped her hands, and introduced Mu Tian.
As soon as they finished speaking, the women's eyes lit up.
The man stood up and extended his hand to Mu Tian.
"Qin Liansheng. He's a member of a single gang." The man didn't shy away from this title, which shows that he has grown up and is very confident.
"Qiao Yitian, let's do some small catering business." Mu Tian stretched out his hand to shake Tan Liansheng's hand and said mockingly.
As soon as Mu Tian said this, Amei Tong rushed over and said, "Oh, you must not believe in small businesses. Mr. Qiao is the owner of the newly opened Danghaichao Restaurant, just on Hankou Road. They also do inland shipping.
In terms of business, there are several large steamers alone."
As soon as the women heard this, their eyes shone with different lights. They gathered around Mutian a little and began to ask questions about the features of the restaurant and where the ships went.
Seeing that she was suddenly ignored, Yingzi sat directly on the sofa in front of Tan Liansheng and introduced herself again, obviously because she had nothing to say.
Tan Liansheng also mentioned once again that he was a member of the gang.
"What are you doing, Mr. Qin?" Yingzi asked.
"You can do everything, just run away if Shanghai is short of anything?" Tan Liansheng was still a little wary.
"Oh, aren't you rich then?" Yingzi's surprise was deliberately pretended, "At this time, the single-running gangs are very powerful. I heard that the people in the refugee camp and the single-running gangs have all bought houses in the concessions and moved out of the refugee camps.
.”
"Ha, yes, there are many, both young and old. Some people say that gangs are trying to make money for the country." Tan Liansheng was testing.
"What's the point of not making a fortune? You don't have to worry about so much. If you don't make a fortune for the country, you still live in a refugee camp? Besides, who caused the national crisis? You can make the country in trouble, but you don't want others to make a small fortune. What if I were
Ah, when encountering this kind of situation, I might as well go out and help make money from the national crisis." What Yingzi said was completely nonsensical.
"Running single gangs are very profitable, and there are many successful ones, but the risks are still very high. It is not suitable for girls. Sister Qiao will never reach this point in her life if she guards a big boss like Qiao Shikuan." Tan Liansheng laughed.
Laugh.
"That's not necessarily the case. Besides, I also want to make some money on my own so that I can spend it conveniently. If I want to buy a necklace, I have to ask for it from my brother, which is annoying just thinking about it." Yingzi said with self-pity, subconsciously pulling on his collar, revealing
There is nothing on the pink and white neck.
Tan Liansheng couldn't help but take a peek, then quickly looked away, concealing his impatience, "A necklace is not worth much, is your brother very strict with you?" Tan Liansheng remained silent during the entire conversation.
He glanced at Mu Tian from time to time, paying attention to his movements.
At this time, Mu Tian was chatting with a tall but plump woman by the window.
The woman dressed up very artistically. According to Tong Amei, she was a piano player and played in the band of a drama troupe.
Seeing that Tan Liansheng was looking at him, Mu Tian raised the wine glass in his hand to signal.
Tan Liansheng also raised his hand to signal, turned to Yingzi and said: "Your brother seems to be a nice person, he doesn't seem to be someone who has strict control over you. Why don't you buy you a necklace?"
"You don't know, Mr. Qin, what I want is not an ordinary necklace, but the same type of necklace that Sister Tong wears around her neck." Yingzi said earnestly.
Tan Liansheng immediately grimaced upon hearing this.
"What did you say?"
"It's the one that Sister Tong is wearing. There is a drop of blood on the jade pendant. She said it was given by Mr. Qin. I was about to ask Mr. Qin where he bought it?" Yingzi explained nonchalantly.
"Amei!"
Tan Liansheng shouted loudly, stood up suddenly, looked angrily at Amei Tong who was walking towards me in a confused way, and said to himself, "This prodigal bitch, don't let her wear it to show off! It's only been a day and she can't bear it anymore.
.”
Yingzi listened to him talking to himself and started to fight, but dropped her satchel on the ground.
Seeing Yingzi drop her satchel on the ground, Mu Tian turned around and opened the curtains a crack. He ignored the tall and plump pianist opposite and walked over to Yingzi.
