Chapter 376 Why Baodi
Chapter 376 Why Baodi
Jiao Zhenguo was waiting for Meng Shengyu to ask him for something, so how could he refuse at this moment? He immediately said generously: "You call me brother, do you think we should be strangers? It doesn't matter if it's a small matter or a big matter, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you."
Meng Shengyu moved closer and whispered, "Brother, when we registered the stolen property in my house, did the servants say there was yellow stuff?"
Yellow goods are gold bars.
Jiao Zhenguo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Brother, the steward of your house is quite loyal. He immediately checked what was lost. Not only the yellow stuff, but also this, right?"
As he spoke, Jiao Zhenguo gestured the number "six", which means opium.
Meng Shengyu smiled and took out a deposit certificate from his pocket. It should be the bearer type with a deposit of one thousand yuan.
"My steward had never seen the world before, and the thieves were frightened. Some bottles and jars were indeed stolen from my house, and several hundred dollars in cash were also lost. As for pornographic goods and opium, of course there was none. Big brother, this is a deposit certificate from Citibank, with my signature on the back. I will cash it on sight. Buy me some tea."
Jiao Zhenguo was stunned at first. What kind of operation was this?
You lost the gold bars and opium, why do you say you didn't lose them?
This is only Lao Jiao. If it were Lin Ze, he would have reacted before coming to eat.
After being stunned for a moment, Lao Jiao figured it out and cursed in his heart, "Damn it, you guys are really evil!"
He lost something but didn't dare to make it public, insisting that he didn't lose anything. How did this thing get here? I guess there must be a reason. Considering Meng Shengyu's identity as the director of the Military Supply Management Office, this guy is so bold that he even dared to touch the Japanese's military supplies.
Then again, if they have the courage to do this, there must be a reason. The Military Supply Management Office not only handles a part of the Japanese's military supplies, but also mainly supplies food and wages to the tens of thousands of people in the Security Army. Maybe this grandson has some relationship with Qi Ying, the commander of the Security Army.
At present, the security forces are being defeated by a group of peasants in eastern Hebei, and they are very ashamed. If it were to be revealed that a large amount of gold bars and opium were stolen from the home of the Quartermaster General, wouldn't that be a disgrace?
Jiao Zhenguo has now trained himself and has no psychological burden in accepting this kind of money.
He couldn't help but think that these guys were really rich. They spent a thousand dollars at a time. How much was Manager Sun's annual budget?
With this money, we can subsidize Manager Sun, or exchange it for supplies and transport them to the Pingxi base.
Thinking of this, I was suddenly stunned.
When did I become so noble?
He took the deposit slip with a smile, put it in his arms, picked up the wine glass and asked, "Brother, what if we catch the person and get the things back..."
Meng Shengyu said sternly, "There is nothing there, how can we retrieve it? Even if we find something, it was stolen by the thieves from other people. It has nothing to do with me. Big brother, just deal with it as you wish."
Jiao Zhenguo chuckled and said, "Don't I know whether there is anything or not? I was the one who arranged for people to rob them. I originally wanted to get close to Meng Shengyu by using the excuse of quickly solving the case and returning the stolen goods. Now that Meng Shengyu is so understanding, Jiao Zhenguo had no choice but to accept this deposit certificate along with the gold bars and opium."
After resolving this matter, Meng Shengyu apparently felt relieved and drank even more heartily.
He was not satisfied with the small wine cup, so he asked the shopkeeper to change it to a large cup, lit a Luzon cigar, poured some brandy, and started to enjoy the food and wine.
If you mix white wine with foreign liquor, it will definitely make you drunk. The two of them talked back and forth, throwing out affectionate words as if they were free.
Jiao Zhenguo was trying to get closer to Meng Shengyu. Let alone Meng Shengyu, who wouldn't want to make friends with the detective captain? He was a serious boss with people and guns under his command!
After eating and drinking for a long time, Meng Shengyu, who was drunk and wanted to get along well with Jiao Zhenguo, said: "Brother, since we get along so well, I have a business to do, you might as well give me some advice."
"What deal?"
"The higher-ups are going to arrange a batch of supplies to go to Baodi recently, and there are still many that have not been gathered. Of course, there is food, cloth, medicine, and fuel. As long as we have the goods, the money will be no problem. I don't know why the higher-ups are so happy this time and allocated the funds early. In the past, the higher-ups would not let our military supply department handle such large quantities of supplies. This time, it should be because the grain stations on Taijun's side have all gone to the south, so they used us. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune!"
Jiao Zhenguo had a bitter look on his face. "Brother, it's true that there is an opportunity to make a fortune, but I don't have a way to get food and fuel! Forget it, forget it, I'll find a way first. Come on, have a drink!"
Meng Shengyu stopped there. His disclosure of the news was already a strong gesture of goodwill. If Jiao Zhenguo could get the supplies, he would certainly purchase a batch and make him a small fortune. If he couldn't get the supplies and couldn't get on this train, it wouldn't be his fault.
Although he was chatting and drinking with Meng Shengyu on the surface, Jiao Zhenguo was actually muttering in his heart, Baodi, Baodi.
Why Baodi?
.........................
"The Third Brigade? Are you sure you heard the Third Brigade?"
In a secret room of the restaurant, Lin Ze looked at Xiao Jiang Dagui opposite him with some confusion.
Xiao Jiang Dagui said confidently, "Last night, several staff officers from the front came to drink. I've seen one of them before. He's a deputy in the General Staff. After monitoring, we found that they did mention the Third Brigade. It was because one of them drank too much, and the leader quickly stopped their conversation."
Lin Ze lit a cigarette and waved his hand to let Xiao Jiang Dagui go out and do his work.
Xiao Jiang Dagui saluted, turned around and walked out quietly so as not to disturb the team leader's thoughts.
The Third Brigade, which Third Brigade is it?
Is it from the Kwantung Army or the North China Front Army?
Now, because of the Jiangcheng Battle, the organization of the North China Front Army has become a complete mess.
Previously, the front army had two armies, namely the 14st Army and the 20nd Army. The 108st Army had the 109th, 16th, 16th and 5th Divisions. It also used to include the th Division, but later the th Division was transferred to the nd Army. Then, for the battle of Jiangcheng, the entire nd Army was directly assigned to the Central China Expeditionary Army. Perhaps the higher-ups felt that this was not very fair and that it would weaken the North China Front Army too much, so two months ago, the th Division was transferred over, which was the Itagaki Division that had been beaten badly in Taijiazhuang.
There are so many divisions and many third brigades. How can we determine which one those staff officers are referring to?
This is also the norm in intelligence work. Often the information obtained is fragmented and needs to be processed so that these fragmented pieces of information can be pieced together to eventually present a complete piece of intelligence.
Lin Ze kept thinking. Before, Kitahara Ransuke asked him to collect information about Linyu and Funing areas. So, could this Third Brigade be a brigade under the Kwantung Army?
If that's the case, we have the approximate number of troops so far, and the marching route is almost there!
