One hundred and thirty-two chapters important situation
For Shanghainese, the most enjoyable days are when they drink tea, go to bed in the morning, and take a bath in the afternoon.
There is more than just bathing in a bathhouse. Public bathhouses generally provide services such as back tapping, foot pinching, massage, and back rub.
Of course, if you don’t want to spend money, you can. If many people have nothing else to do, they can stay in the bathhouse, chat with others, play cards, chess, and even taste tea, making it a public place integrating leisure and entertainment.
.
Family matters and national events may become topics of conversation for bathers in the bathhouse, and many stories and gossip may originate from the bathhouse.
Nissin Bathhouse is such a public bathhouse.
The Rixin Bathhouse is located at No. 173 Wilmont Road, south of the road.
At half past eleven, Lin Chuang and others came to the Rixin Bathhouse.
At this time, it was the time when Shanghainese people were "meaty and wet", and the front door of the bathhouse was deserted.
Lin Chuang and others entered the lobby. The waiter had already invited the shopkeeper to come down.
When I saw Japanese military police standing outside the store, and several people in black clothes entering the store, the shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, and his face changed.
"The car and boat shop's teeth should be arrested even if they are not guilty."
Those who open shops are afraid of public servants.
What's more, there are Japanese people following us.
Seeing these people surrounding a young man in a suit, followed by a man in a Japanese military uniform, a beautiful woman in casual clothes, and a woman with a gun in her waist, he hurriedly walked forward, trembling, and hugged his fists.
He asked in a trembling voice: "Everyone... Boss, Taijun, I don't know if you are visiting our store to take a bath or to do business?"
"Are you from the shopkeeper?" Lin Chuang asked.
"yes."
"What's your last name?"
When the shopkeeper heard that he was Chinese, he felt a little relieved, and when he heard that the question was polite, he was mostly relieved. He thought to himself that maybe it was not the fault of his shop.
"I don't dare to be a chief. It's a noble name, but a humble surname is Tang." The shopkeeper said quickly and politely.
"Shopkeeper Tang, from what you said, do you have a mixed bath for men and women?" Lin Chuang glanced at Ning Xiaobo and asked.
Shopkeeper Tang quickly said: "Oh... sir, I misunderstood. The third floor of our store is a women's bath, and there are single rooms for couples to bathe together."
"Couples bathing together? Hahaha... Shopkeeper Tang, the people who come to bathe together are not necessarily all couples, right? Many of them are wild mandarin ducks, right?" Lin Chuang laughed.
"Oh, hehehe..., sir, you are joking."
Shopkeeper Tang apologized in embarrassment and felt more and more relaxed.
After hearing this, Ning Xiaobo thought to himself, does your husband have a hobby of bathing together? Not to mention, it would be very interesting to share a single room with your husband in such a messy bathhouse.
Well, I'll ask later.
"Shopkeeper Tang, we are... No. 76. There is a case involving your store. I hope you can cooperate." Lin Chuang said.
He wants to say that he is from the police station, but he feels that the deterrent effect is not enough. Who doesn't know that No. 75 is a devil's cave?
Then he changed his words again.
"We will definitely cooperate." Shopkeeper Tang quickly replied.
Then, shopkeeper Tang extended his hand and said: "Sir, please come to the second floor. We have several private rooms, which are very clean. Sometimes guests can take a nap in them after taking a bath. When they wake up, they can drink tea and listen to storytelling."
This was the first time Lin Chuang heard about storytelling in the bathhouse.
But when I thought about the smell of semen in the bathhouse, I couldn't stand it, let alone drinking tea in it, so I quickly refused: "No, no, no."
He glanced at the lobby and saw a coffee table on the west wall, as well as three sets of wooden chairs, one long and two short, and said, "Just here, it's more ventilated."
Shopkeeper Tang asked Lin Chuang and his entourage to sit down on wooden chairs, and ordered the waiter to serve tea. Yi Lianhua stopped them: "No need."
Shopkeeper Tang knew that these noble people were probably not used to drinking tea on such occasions, so that was all.
"Do you know this guy?"
Lin Chuang motioned to Yi Lianhua to take out Tian Qiyun's photo and handed it to Shopkeeper Tang.
"I know you, isn't this Mr. Tian? We are regular customers here and come here every now and then to take a shower." Shopkeeper Tang took it over, took a look, and said immediately.
"So familiar?" Lin Chuang asked in surprise.
"I've known Chief Tian since he didn't join the Secret Service. We've known him for a long time," Shopkeeper Tang said.
Lin Chuang thought about it, yes, Tian Qiyun was from the Qing Gang, and this bathhouse might be the property of the Qing Gang. How could he not recognize him?
However, judging from the politeness of his words, even if the Rixin Bathhouse is the property of the Qinggang, it probably does not belong to Li Yunqing, and it is more likely to be Pan Shou.
"Shopkeeper Tang, are you also from the Qing Gang?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Yes, I am working under Mr. Pan Wu to earn a living." Shopkeeper Tang replied.
"Oh, since they are all members of the Youth Gang, why do you still call Tian Qiyun Chief?" Lin Chuang asked in confusion.
"Hey, hey, when the shoulders are evenly aligned, they are brothers, and when they are not evenly aligned, they are superiors." Shopkeeper Tang said with emotion.
Hey, this is quite humorous.
"Does he often come alone or with others? Tell him about his situation. Remember, don't hide anything. Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you that my surname is Lin." Lin Chuang said.
Yi Lianhua understood Lin Chuang's intention and immediately introduced: "This is Director Lin of the police station."
"Oh..." Shopkeeper Tang said in a long voice and understood immediately.
This guy initially said he was from No. 76, but later he heard that he was Pan's subordinate, and then he revealed his true identity. So what else is there that you don't understand?
This is the person behind my eldest lady's back.
"It turns out to be Chief Lin." Shopkeeper Tang looked at Shibuya River and said immediately: "Sir, please don't worry. I, no, I must tell the truth and I don't dare to hide anything."
Lin Chuang nodded with satisfaction.
"Sir Tian..."
"Don't call him sir, just call him by his first name. It sounds hard."
As soon as Shopkeeper Tang started to speak, Lin Chuang stopped him.
"Yes. Tian Qiyun often comes here to take a bath. Sometimes he comes alone, and sometimes he brings a chicken. When he comes alone, he washes in the big pool on the second floor, and then sleeps in a single room on the second floor.
.When I brought the chickens, I washed the single room on the third floor.
Even if he shows his official status, no one dares to ask for money from him, and he won’t give it anyway..."
If he didn't know Lin Chuang's identity, he would never dare to say these words.
This kind of veteran Jianghu knows what to say and what not to say.
"Did he come into contact with others when he was taking a shower on the second floor?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Contact, why not contact? Sometimes someone will come into his private room to talk. It's so mysterious that even the waiters don't dare to enter." Shopkeeper Tang replied.
Lin Chuang glanced at Fu Yewen, who nodded knowingly.
"Tell me about the circumstances of his arrival the day before yesterday." Lin Chuang asked again.
"The day before yesterday..." Shopkeeper Tang thought for a while and said, "He came alone the day before yesterday. It was probably six o'clock when he came. It was already dark. He had a leather bag. He didn't seem to have taken a shower. He wanted it.
I stayed in a private room, talked to someone for a while and then left."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Tang paused and said: "By the way, there is another important situation..."
