NFBE Chapter 207 Shanghai Arsenal Custody Office
Chapter 207 Shanghai Arsenal Custody Office
When it came to bargaining, Chen Yan, based on the principle that if you don't pick up money when you go out, it's considered lost, started to play tricks on Charles.
Of course, doing business is a matter of mutual consent, and no one would do a business that would lose money.
Li Yunlong looked like he was about to enter the bridal chamber, and he was extremely excited.
Li San said with a worried look on his face: "Don't be happy too soon. If we can't come up with the money, no matter how low the price is, it will be useless."
"Well, then you don't know Chen'er at all," Li Yunlong said cunningly, "This matter is not about the amount of money."
After coming out of Charles Trading Company, Li San hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, do you have enough money to buy so many equipment?"
Chen Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fuck, of course not."
"Then why are you chatting so enthusiastically with the American devils?"
"Tsk, so what if I don't have money? What I'm thinking about now is getting the equipment, not the money. It's not like we haven't done that kind of thing before."
"That kind of thing..." Li San kept muttering, and suddenly his pupils contracted, "You are not planning to cheat and rob in Shanghai, are you?"
Chen Yan said impatiently: "I told you, this is what you said.
Let's go, Charles said he would treat us to a meal, let's go together."
At this time, Li San was alone and disheveled in the wind.
Li Yunlong came up to him and said proudly: "I think the American devils are stupid. They even invited us to dinner.
Hahaha...".
Although Chen Yan said that, it was just a last resort when he had no other options. If he could raise the money, he would still be willing to make an equal deal. He believed that Charles had many connections and they could have long-term cooperation in the future.
......
In order to complete the task assigned by Team Leader Li, Qiao Shuxin went to the archives of the Municipal Bureau to look through historical materials.
Since the Japanese invaded Shanghai, all the major agencies of the National Government moved to Chongqing, but the police station was the only one that did not move, except for some of the epaulettes with bars on their shoulders.
In the words of the government, it seems that we have moved and the people of Shanghai can leave us, but they cannot leave you police officers. The people of Shanghai rely on you.
After saying this, the senior official jumped into the car and left in tears without looking back.
Therefore, if he wanted to understand the situation in Shanghai over the years, only the archives of the police station would be the most complete, and he believed that he would definitely find clues in them.
The police station has always had lax management, and Qiao Shuxin was popular, and the news that he would be transferred to the Municipal Bureau had already spread like wildfire, so the administrator gave him face and let him in without wasting any time.
He looked at the dazzling archive room and couldn't help swallowing.
Damn, is it really that much?
It can’t be that all the trivial matters are archived.
He found four rows of archive shelves from 31 to 37.
The reason he did this was that during the period of Nationalist Government management, the Shanghai Arsenal's production and manufacturing capabilities were second to none in the country.
It has everything, including machine factories, gun factories, cannon factories, artillery factories, and gunpowder factories, and it also once produced armored vehicles.
Qiao Shuxin believed that he would definitely be able to find the clues he wanted from here.
He simply made up his mind that he would be killed whether he stuck his head out or not.
Do it big and disperse early.
hoohoo!
Stand up!
At the same time, Chen Yan was not idle either.
Although he saw hope from Charles, he still did not dare to take it lightly until the matter was settled.
He sent people to Tang Caiying's mansion to check out the situation, and sure enough, this woman had strengthened security.
"Brother, the security level of Tang Mansion is not low. There are regular and irregular patrols in the front and back yards, and there are visible and hidden sentries. There are also guards in the house. The number of people is unknown. I estimate that the total number is no less than 30 people."
After hearing Li San's report, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile into a perfect arc.
"With such a big fuss, this woman is really going to fight me. It's obvious that she's coming for me.
There was also a secret sentry. It seemed that she had learned her lesson this time. She was not looking for the little Kalemie from the Green Gang, but a soldier.
But that’s true, people who have a good relationship with the Song family should have this ability.”
Suddenly, Chen Yan's eyes sparkled, and he said with a half-smile:
"Okay, you want to play, right? Then let me see if I can't kill you tonight.
If I don't strangle you to death, you will bite me sooner or later."
He stood up, put on his coat, held a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at Li San:
"Move all the brothers out, get a car, and then go to the river to get a fishing boat.
Tonight I am taking Miss Tang on a romantic trip. We are going to cruise along the Huangpu River at night."
......
The clock on the wall had already pointed to 8 o'clock, and the lights in the archive room were on.
Qiao Shuxin slumped on the ground, his carefully combed and styled slicked-back hair now frizzy.
Damn, you silly boy are so tired.
The director's child's one-month-old celebration was also recorded, but I really have nothing to write about because I'm so free.
At first he read it one by one, then he read ten lines at a glance, and finally he read it page by page, as fast as he could.
Because he was so depressed, the pieces of paper flew past his eyes quickly.
brush brush...
Wait, what was that page just now? It dazzled my titanium dog eyes.
When he got back the piece of paper and sorted it out again from beginning to end, his originally excited emotions once again slammed heavily on the ground.
My eyes are dazzled and I saw it wrong again.
Damn, the silly boy is full of energy and sets sail again.
He encouraged himself, cheered himself up, and continued to search for information.
He looked down at the text on the document, and suddenly a passage aroused his curiosity.
He knocked his confused head and tried to cheer himself up.
This seems to be useful.
In July 32, under the order of the Songhu Garrison Commander, the Shanghai Municipal Police Corps assisted in the security work of the Shanghai Arsenal transportation and maintained public order. At the same time, the Shanghai Arsenal Management Committee of the Ordnance Department was established in Shanghai.
Looking at this sentence, he fell into deep thought, his brain working rapidly, as if he was recalling something.
He had just joined the police system that year, and had not yet joined the organization, so he was considered a rookie in the workplace. But he was born and raised in Shanghai, so he knew something about this matter.
After the military conflict between China and Japan in 32, the Nationalist government felt that Shanghai could no longer be defended, so it transferred machinery and materials to various inland arsenals, some to Nanjing, some to Gongxian, and some to Shanxi.
However, some machinery and equipment that are inconvenient to move will remain in Shanghai temporarily, waiting for the right time to relocate.
He nodded slightly and continued reading the information.
"In December, the Shanghai Arsenal Management Committee of the Ordnance Department was abolished and the Shanghai Arsenal Custody Office was set up to guard it, and the Police Department sent personnel to assist."
Qiao Shuxin murmured to himself: "A guard at the Shanghai Arsenal Custody Office... I remember he died in 37, and no one has mentioned him in the past two years."
He stood up quickly and searched the filing rack.
"Here it is, the police files from 1937."
After Qiao Shuxin opened it, the more he read, the more heartbroken he became.
