Chapter 10 Chapter Nine New Year's Eve Evening

Just as Yoshimura was about to answer, a soldier rushed over and reported excitedly: "Captain, we found that man's footprints!" In the darkness, Yoshimura Hidezou's eyes lit up suddenly, he immediately waved his hands at the soldiers, turned around and said to Xu Congliang, "I still have business here, let's get together some other day!" After looking at the dishes on the table, Xu Congliang turned his eyes to the friends sitting around the dinner table—Lin Sen, Lin Dan, Liu Chuang, Caixia, Sour Monkey, Big Cigarette Pot, and Big Sun. Xu Congliang has lived for 30 years, and he feels that this year is the only time to really pass the New Year’s Eve. In the past, no matter how good the food was, he didn’t feel at home, but now it’s better. Brothers and sisters sit together for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and it’s like a fairy day !"

"That is, eat and drink enough, have a happy New Year, and then go on beating little devils, this is the life of men!" Liu Chuang said happily while pouring wine into bowls for everyone. Lin Sen raised the wine bowl in front of him, and sighed suddenly: "It's a pity that Lijun and those sacrificed comrades don't have this good fortune. Come on, let's offer the first glass of wine to these sacrificed heroes first, and hope that they will be blessed by the spring." Let's drive the little devil out of the Northeast as soon as possible!" The day after the "rescue" of Matsuze Keiko and Huyan Xiaoqiu, Li Lijun died in prison because of his injuries.Speaking of Li Lijun at this time, the eye sockets of all the people present were moist, and seeing everyone's mood became depressed, Xu Congliang rolled his eyes, stood up and solemnly spilled the wine in the wine bowl on the ground, but he chattered endlessly in his mouth: "Old Li, although you enjoy the blessings over there, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink such good wine. Drink two more glasses!"

Lin Dan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Xu Congliang meant by "enjoying blessings". Xu Congliang saw Lin Dan's doubts, smiled at her, and continued to shake his head and said: "Old Li, what kind of ghost is this in the underworld? We Chinese know it best. The little Japanese devils are guaranteed to find no way out when they go there. When you get there, you will definitely have the wind and the rain. You should bully the little Japan for us first. The little Japanese over there If there are not enough devils, our brothers will kill a few more and send them to you!"

Hearing Xu Congliang's glib words, Lin Dan burst out laughing. Although there were still tears in his eyes, he felt much better. Take it easy." Seeing that everyone's faces were no longer dignified, Xu Congliang pouted at the sour monkey, and the kid happily brought a big bag over. "Boss Tuolin, Lin's sister, and Mr. Liu, my elder brother has been enjoying the spring breeze these few months, just in time for the Chinese New Year, and brought some good things to have fun with everyone." As he said that, he first took out a few colorful bottles from his pocket and handed them to Lin Dan and Caixia: "You two beauties, this is the perfume that my elder brother asked someone to get from France, specially for you two. "

Caixia took it with a smile on her face, but Lin Dan couldn't help but pouted at Xu Congliang with a smile. She knew that the sour monkey was pretending to be mysterious-no matter how many people Xu Congliang had, it would not be possible for friends to bring things from France.The perfume must be genuine, but nine times out of ten it was given by a businessman friend, and it lost its shape when it got in the mouth of the sour monkey. When Xu Congliang saw Lin Dan's gaze turned towards him, his heart was intoxicated, and he kicked the sour monkey under his feet again.The sour monkey didn't give his elder brother any face at this time, he smiled and muttered: "I know, I know, I can't take the same gifts you gave to the sister of the Lin family and Caixia! You are embarrassed to give these things yourself, and you have to give them to me." I'm making a fuss!"

This made everyone understand Xu Congliang's thoughts, Caixia poked Lin Dan quietly, and Lin Dan was already blushing. The sour monkey smiled and took out a few more paper coupons, blinking his eyes and said: "Don't underestimate these papers, they are always useful - this is the VIP coupon of Qiulin Company. When drinking that day, Qiulin The boss of the company said that with this coupon, not only can you enjoy VIP service, but you can also buy in-demand products that can only be used by little devils, and you can get a 40% discount!" Liu Chuang couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly asked, "Then where are the gifts for me and Boss Lin?"

Hearing this, Sour Monkey's face suddenly became serious, and without moving his hands or feet, he carefully put a small bag on the table. "The gifts from your two big bosses are much heavier!" Lin Sen was taken aback by these words, how much can be put in a small bag?Seeing this, Xu Congliang laughed and said, "The sour monkey can also joke. The things here are not important, but important." As he spoke, he took out a small package from inside and handed it to Liu Chuang: "Master Liu, I know that many poor people from Guanli defected to you, but your wood gangs do manual labor, and some people can't do it." Logging, it means that you have raised dozens of people. I have a piece of land in the outskirts of the city, 180 mu. If you let those people farm the land, isn’t it the best of both worlds? This is the title deed, you take it !"

Liu Chuang was surprised, how could he expect to receive such a big gift?A pair of big hands shook in a hurry: "This is no good! This is no good! Brother, if you plant this piece of land for us, we will enjoy great blessings. How can we ask for a land deed!" Lin Sen also persuaded him from the side: "Xu Congliang, you should keep the land deed. This land is under your name, and the surrounding government officials don't dare to make mistakes, and don't dare to collect excessive taxes. If it is in the name of Liu Sanye It is estimated that the food is not cooked yet, and people will starve to death long ago."

Seeing what the two said, Xu Congliang no longer forced himself to take back the land deed.He changed hands and took out a thick cloth bag, and smiled at Lin Sen: "But this one, you must grab it." Lin Dan touched it curiously, and felt that there was a thick stack of square books inside, and asked with a smile: "What is this? Could it be a picture of a girl, you want to protect my brother's media ?” "What happened to your brother's marriage? I wish he had a family." "Why?" "He has a family, and you still rely on your brother-in-law's house? Then you have to find your in-law's house." Xu Congliang said with a smirk.

Seeing that his younger sister was blushing again, Lin Sen smiled and brought the topic back: "Xu Congliang, don't be a fool, what kind of treasure is this?" Xu Congliang opened the cloth bag, and Lin Sen's eyes lit up immediately!There are more than 20 documents in it! "Brother Lin, your guerrillas often need to change their appearance to enter and exit Harbin and nearby towns. With these documents, there will be a lot less interrogation. By the way, I also specially obtained two special passes for you and your sister. As long as they are Within the scope of the three provinces in the Northeast, you two can just stroll casually."

This is a gift more precious than gold!Lin Sen excitedly held Xu Congliang's hand and thanked him again and again.Xu Congliang laughed, and said: "How is it? Your sister always says that I am a fool and make friends with those who are not good at anything, but how can I get these treasures without going through these people? You guys are good at everything, just It’s too serious. No matter what you do, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed.” As soon as he started speaking, Lin Dan stopped him with a smile. She grabbed Xu Congliang's wine glass, poured a full glass of white wine, and stuffed it into his mouth: "Okay, I'm afraid no one will know that you can speak! Come back again, when did I speak ill of you?" Xu Congliang was already drunk and everyone was drunk, holding a glass of wine and giggling, he was speechless for a long time.Seeing that Lin Dan treated Xu Congliang submissively, everyone couldn't help laughing, and everyone raised their glasses of wine in the laughter. People in the Northeast are fond of drinking, or more precisely dare to drink. Not all of them have a high capacity for drinking, but no one is afraid of drinking when sitting at the wine table.The table was full of delicacies and the sound of firecrackers outside made it even more enjoyable to drink. Just after taking a few mouthfuls of the dishes, the two large pots of small cooking were already half-drinked, and everyone's faces flushed red. , There are more and more topics. Over the past few months, Xu Congliang often passed on the news he had obtained to Lin Dan's brothers and sisters, and the relationship with them became more and more warm, and Lin Dan smiled at him more and more.Xu Congliang could see that it was a sincere smile, not the usual smile to cater to guests.Seeing Lin Dan and Caixia chatting affectionately at this time, he suddenly had an idea, and smiled at Caixia: "Caixia, my brother has a house now, and he only needs a wife. Please help pay attention, if there is a suitable one." Let me introduce one." While speaking, he kicked the sour monkey under the table. The sour monkey is a roundworm in Xu Congliang's stomach. He immediately understood what he meant, and while hiccupping, he shook his hands repeatedly and said to Caixia: "Pull it down, you If there is a suitable one, I will introduce it to my elder brother, how can there be any reason why the elder brother is not married and the younger brother has a wedding?" How could Caixia have such scheming as Xu Congliang, she pulled Lin Dan's hand beside her and said, "I think the girl from the Lin family is pretty good." Xu Congliang was waiting for this sentence, and quickly continued: "The sister of the Lin family is so beautiful, how can I have a crush on Xu Congliang? I am content to dream of the big girl every night." The words were so ambiguous that anyone could understand the meaning behind them. Lin Dan blushed even more, but she reacted quickly, and continued with a sharp tongue: "Captain Xu is so handsome, why do you need others to introduce him? I see you and Hu Yan Xiaoqiu is quite suitable, last time Huyan Xiaoqiu was injured, Captain Xu was more anxious than himself! And that Keiko Matsuzawa, it is said that Captain Xu carried him into the car with his own hands!" Being exposed by Lin Dan, Xu Congliang didn't blush, he smiled and looked at Lin Dan, it seemed that as long as Lin Dan talked to him, he would listen to whatever it was.Seeing Xu Congliang's virtue of being a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Lin Dan was about to insult him a few more words when he heard a rush of firecrackers outside the window. The sour monkey said with a smile: "Who is so discerning that he fired a cannon when he heard that my elder brother was going to get married?" Xu Congliang didn't laugh, he listened to it twice, then his face darkened, and he said in surprise: "It's not the sound of firecrackers, it's his grandma's gunshot!" Lin Sen and Liu Chuang also heard the clue, stood up abruptly, took out their pistols and rushed to the window.Lin Sen gently opened the curtains and looked out, only to see a dozen or so devils swarming towards this side in the night, bullets pierced the night sky, whistling one after another. "Damn it! Did the devil discover this place?" Liu Chuang cursed, buckled the safety of the pistol and was about to go downstairs. Lin Sen grabbed Liu Chuang and shouted: "Don't be nervous, if the devil finds out that we must be surrounded secretly, they will never make such a big noise. Let's see!" Sure enough, a dozen devils rushed to the house, suddenly changed direction, and chased to the other side.But there were two people who looked like military officers stopped in front of the house and looked at it carefully.Everyone was nervous again, but Xu Congliang let out a long breath. "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be this kid. It's okay, you can continue to drink at ease. I'll go out and say hello to him." After speaking, Xu Congliang walked out. "Oh, what wind brought Captain Yoshimura here?" Xu Congliang trotted over as soon as he went out. "Captain Xu? Why are you here?" It was Yoshimura Hidezou who led the team, and he looked at Xiao Bailou suspiciously, "Captain Xu doesn't live here!" Xu Congliang laughed: "This is the old house of one of my brothers. On the night of the New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together to have fun. By the way, I heard gunshots just now. Does Captain Yoshimura still have missions tonight?" Just as Yoshimura was about to answer, a soldier rushed over and reported excitedly: "Captain, we found that man's footprints!" In the darkness, Yoshimura Hidezou's eyes lit up suddenly, he immediately waved his hands at the soldiers, turned around and said to Xu Congliang: "I still have official business here, let's get together some other day!" run everywhere. Xu Congliang went back to the house full of question marks, and described what had just happened to everyone, and everyone immediately started talking about it.After listening to a few words, Lin Dan looked at Xu Congliang and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" Seeing Lin Dan's smile, Xu Congliang knew that she had made a judgment in her heart, and thought that this was my chance to show my face in front of pretty girls, so he shook his head and said, "The gendarmerie came out to arrest people on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. , this person must be very important. And that boy Yoshimura has always been calm, but he was very surprised just now, and he left without saying anything to me. This person must be a big shot! If my guess is right, it is likely to be People in your organization." Lin Dan proudly shook his head at Xu Congliang, then turned to Lin Sen: "Brother, what do you think?" Lin Sen was not as relaxed as his younger sister. He pondered, "There hasn't been much activity in our organization recently. That person shouldn't be our comrade, could it be an agent of the Kuomintang?" There is no answer, but this is the best possibility.Xu Congliang's heart suddenly rose, and he subconsciously felt that this matter would have something to do with that beautiful Huyan Xiaoqiu.Lin Dan looked at Xu Congliang's raised eyebrows and pouted slightly. The Spring Festival is a festival for drinking, especially in Northeast China. From the night of New Year's Eve until the seventh day of the New Year, Xu Congliang almost soaked in the wine tank.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he gathered his subordinates from the police department together, and had a day of drinking and gambling, and in the next two days, Ye Yong took him to drink twice.Ye Yong and Xu Congliang have been very close since the incident at the Modern Hotel, plus Xu Congliang has now become a Japanese celebrity, and Ye Yong is even more brother-in-law.Xu Congliang was naturally happy to get closer to Ye Yong, after all, he could get a lot of gossip about Jin Ronggui, Bai Shoutian and Cai Shengmeng from this kid. As soon as a person gains power, he has many friends, even farts are delicious, and those who were previously unattainable will be squeezed into the circle of friends-people from the police department, city hall, businessmen, and even a few Japanese businessmen try their best He invited Xu Congliang to their banquet.Xu Congliang is a person who likes to be lively. Although most of these people are friends, Xu Congliang doesn't care. What's more, all kinds of news, interpersonal relationships and a lot of money that come with these "friends" are all from him. irresistible. However, reciprocity is also indispensable. After a few days, Xu Congliang spent countless money. The sour monkey felt distressed when he saw it, and secretly advised him: "Brother, your money didn't come from the wind. Bar." Xu Congliang curled his mouth: "What do you know, the money I'm spending now is usury, and you can wait for the cashier in the future. Let me tell you, if you spend one penny, you will get ten pennies. This is the way to spend money." money expert!" But on the seventh day, Xu Congliang's body couldn't bear it anymore.When attending the banquet held by Section Chief Huang of the city hall, while drinking, his stomach kept regurgitating acid water into his throat. Afterwards, he felt dizzy even after smelling the wine, so he had to leave the wine room early with the sour monkey. Bureau. He wanted to go home and have a good sleep, but as soon as he opened the door, his small eyes immediately widened.He stopped the sour monkey who was about to turn on the light with his left hand, and quickly pulled out the pistol with his right hand.Although the sour monkey didn't see the clue, he immediately understood that Xu Congliang had noticed something strange, and hurriedly took out his pistol.At this moment, a woman's ecstatic laughter sounded from the dark corner of the living room. "Hey, Captain Xu is really alert, and his reaction is still so fast after drinking so much." "Hehe, it's because of my quick reaction, it's because of Miss Huyan's body fragrance. I've never smelled it before, but I'm sure I'll never forget it!" After finishing his glib words, Xu Congliang turned on the light. Under the warm and soft light of the wall lamp, Huyan Xiaoqiu, who was lying on the sofa, looked even more charming. The sour monkey knew that it was inconvenient for him to be there, so he took a greedy look at Huyan Xiaoqiu before moving away.As soon as the sour monkey left, Xu Congliang laughed and sat opposite Huyan Xiaoqiu, and began to look carefully.Huyan Xiaoqiu looked like she had just attended a dinner party. Under the gorgeous fur coat was a lavender low-cut evening dress. The big V-neck set off her plump breasts mouth-wateringly. "Have you seen enough?" Huyan Xiaoqiu lit a cigarette, and moved around by the way, a little further away from Xu Congliang's bewitching gaze. "Hey, I can never get enough of it. But Miss Huyan must have something important to come so late, how dare I delay Miss Huyan's business!" "Captain Xu is becoming more and more reasonable." Huyan Xiaoqiu smiled, then straightened his face, and said, "Don't tell lies in front of people, the gendarmerie has been searching for a person these days, I know the relationship between Captain Xu and Yoshimura Hidezo Not bad, so I would like to ask you to help find out some news." Xu Congliang's mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately answered with a smile: "Miss Huyan has given me a big problem. The relationship between Yoshimura Hidezou and Matsuzawa is so strong. If there is news about Yoshimura, Matsuzawa must know. If Matsuze knows— —" He glanced at Huyan Xiaoqiu ambiguously: "Miss Huyan, don't you already know? Conversely, if you have no news, Song Ze has no news, and Yoshimura is the same. No matter how good my relationship with Yoshimura Hidezou is It's also useless!" Huyan Xiaoqiu laughed tremblingly: "I used to know that you were good at handling cases, but I didn't expect you to be so quick-spoken that you could catch up with tongue-twisters." After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked slowly to the wine cabinet, After a few glances, he opened a bottle of French brandy, poured a glass of wine, and came back Yingying. "That being said, one moment is another moment." She took a sip of brandy slowly and sighed quietly. Seeing Huyan Xiaoqiu's slightly twitching orchid fingers, Xu Congliang's heart swayed, and he said with a smile: "What's the difference between now and before? Miss Huyan is even more charming!" "Since the kidnapping of Matsuzawa Keiko, Matsuze has been with his precious girl almost after get off work, and rarely comes to me. And I feel that his vigilance has been more vigilant than ever Gao, when he was with me, he never mentioned work matters. I have a hunch—Songze must suspect that there are agents of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party around him, and even if he doesn’t suspect me now, he is doubly wary.” When Xu Congliang heard this, his face immediately blossomed with joy, and he said "yes" a few times.Huyan Xiaoqiu stared at him fiercely: "I didn't expect you to be good at gloating!" Xu Congliang waved his hands again and again, and said solemnly: "I am really not gloating, but happy from the bottom of my heart. You are beside that old man Songze, and you are worried every day. You have to suffer a lot of grievances! Songze must be more vigilant." Well, if you can't get the information, this task will be cancelled, and you don't have to be by Matsuzawa's side, I'm naturally happy!" These words were so sincere that Huyan Xiaoqiu was stunned to hear them, and there were tears in his eyes.But when Xu Congliang finished speaking, her expression returned to normal, and she sighed: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, so they can only take one step at a time, at least this hurdle in front of them must be passed." "Who is this person, and why is it so important?" Huyan Xiaoqiu pondered for a moment, and said: "Since I asked you for help, I will not hide it from you. This person is my liaison officer sent by Shangfeng to connect with me. We don't know each other. According to the plan, it should be on New Year's Eve. He met me in the evening, but there was an accident that day, the gendarmerie discovered the whereabouts of the special commissioner, and both sides opened fire, but I don’t know if the special commissioner was arrested or not.” "It must have been caught, otherwise I should have contacted you in the past few days?" "That's not necessarily the case. We have three meeting dates. If we don't meet on the 30th night due to various reasons, we will change it to ten days later. My contact person and I gave up the meeting because of the unexpected situation that day." Xu Congliang understood. "Are you afraid that this contact person will be arrested and betrayed, and you will be tricked by the devil during the next meeting?" "So you know why I was in a hurry to find you? There are only three days left before the next meeting, if there is no accurate news—" "Then I may never see you, a beautiful woman again." Xu Congliang took the words, and then raised his hand, "Don't worry, this matter is on me, you can go back and sleep in peace!" Huyan Xiaoqiu didn't expect Xu Congliang to agree so happily, he stared blankly at him for a few times, and smiled: "This is strange, you get what you pay for, why didn't you mention the money this time?" "Hey, for others, money is definitely indispensable. But this is your own business, Miss Huyan, and I'm willing to pay for it! Besides—" Xu Congliang glanced at Huyan Xiaoqiu's looming cleavage again, and said with a smile , "If you leave Matsuzawa Enji in the future, our relationship may be several steps closer. When we lie on the same bed, what will be yours and mine?" Hearing these obscene words, Huyan Xiaoqiu lost her temper, twisted her waist and walked up to Xu Congliang, and said with a smile: "It's okay, even if I don't leave Songze, we may still be together." "Is there such a good thing?" "Of course." Huyan Xiaoqiu smiled secretly, "I'm a woman who doesn't have steel and iron bones. If I enter the interrogation room of the gendarmerie, I will definitely not call myself. Since Captain Xu wants to be with me, I will satisfy you. wishes!" Xu Congliang blinked his small eyes several times, and sighed sadly: "You woman, you can really torture people!" Huyan Xiaoqiu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Hey, I firmly believe that there will be a man who came to this world just to be tortured by me." After finishing speaking, before Xu Congliang could react, Huyan Xiaoqiu had already twisted Xiaoman's waist and walked out.When the back disappeared at the door, a sweet and greasy voice also floated in: "No. 18 Huayuan Street is a small beige western-style building. It is easy to find. I have been there for the past few days. If you have news, go find me there." Just do it." The sour monkey came out and saw Xu Congliang helpless, so he sighed: "Brother, you like Lin Dan for a while, and Huyan Xiaoqiu for a while, who do you like?" Xu Congliang rolled his eyes at the ceiling a few times, thinking: "Although this Huyan Xiaoqiu has a pretty face, there is such an evil spirit in her bones, you have to be more careful when you are with her, or else I will be killed. I have to count the money for her after selling it; Lin Dan makes people feel at ease, but her organization has too many rules, if there is someone next to your pillow who always tells you this big truth, that big awakening, it will be annoying to death, what? Are you still thinking about doing something?" The sour monkey patted his ass and walked out. As he walked, he said: "If you choose a wife like this, you will not be able to marry a wife in ten or eight years. According to your standards, I think the quiet and obedient baby in Songze A daughter is quite suitable. By the way, when Keiko Matsuzawa left that day, she sneaked a few glances at you, maybe that little Japanese girl has taken a fancy to you!" "Hey, there are no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, and you can hear birds singing everywhere. Just fuck your own heart, kid!" After Hu dragged a poem, Xu Congliang crossed his legs and drank the brandy left by Huyan Xiaoqiu.However, I don't know whether the words of the sour monkey hit Xu Congliang's mind or inspired him. In short, after the sour monkey went out, Xu Congliang kept muttering the words "Keiko Matsuzawa" from time to time. He actually laughed out loud. On this night, the four of Jin Ronggui and Bai Caiye were also drinking and talking happily, but behind the smiles were their own secrets. Every year during the Spring Festival, Jin Ronggui would hold a family banquet and invite these three confidantes over for a drink.This is of course the respect for Cabbage Leaf, and at the same time, he is also observing and assessing these three people at this time.People are like this, the mask that they wear on weekdays is easiest to take off when they are full of ambition and have a good time.But tonight, Jin Ronggui discovered that the masks of the three cabbage leaves had never been taken off. Even though they were laughing heartily, there was a bit of falsehood hidden behind their voices. Jin Ronggui understood where the problem was.Ever since Bai Shoutian was promoted and Cai Shengmeng was demoted, conflicts among the three emerged.In the past, although the three of them also competed in secret, they were able to balance their power, and they were able to live well under mutual restraint.But now it is different, Bai Shoutian has become the second in command of the police department, it is naturally impossible for him to return to the previous "harmonious" situation. The thought of his three dogs going to bite each other made Jin Ronggui's teeth itch with hatred.He is well aware of the purpose of Matsuzawa Enji, which is to prevent the police department and prevent him from having a stable small circle.Once you have a circle, you will start to form a party for personal gain. In that case, you will not feel at ease to do the "business" sent by the Japanese.But even though he understood, there was nothing he could do about it. If cabbage leaves were his three dogs, then he was Matsuzawa Sonoji's big dog, and it also depended on the face of the Japanese master. "Damn it, a traitor needs to have capital to be comfortable!" This sentence is what he often scolds recently. Whenever this time, Jin Ronggui is inexplicably envious of Xu Congliang. As he climbed higher, not only did he get along well with Bai Caiye and the other three, but he was also highly valued by the Japanese, which he did not expect.In addition, Jin Ronggui unconsciously admired Xu Congliang a little bit. Although this guy climbed fast, he didn't seem to covet higher power, he just wanted to make more money.This is Jin Ronggui's favorite and most assured subordinate, just like Bai Shoutian and Cai Shengmeng before. Thinking of this, Jin Ronggui looked at Bai Shoutian and Cai Shengmeng thoughtfully.These two people have changed now, one wants to climb higher, and the other tries hard to get back his seat. Although they are both amiable on the surface, they both want to kill each other secretly. useless.Sometimes Jin Ronggui even started to get bored with these two people. The wine was neither fragrant nor stinky, nor lukewarm, and Jin Ronggui felt depressed all the time. It wasn't until the cabbage leaves were sent away that he felt his breathing became easier. Mrs. Jin came over and asked, "Old Jin, why are you unhappy tonight?" Jin Ronggui sighed: "If the world is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. The three of Bai Caiye are not far from having a meal." "Then what should we do? You need capable people by your side!" Jin Ronggui lay on the sofa, lit a cigarette, looked at the slowly rising smoke and said thoughtfully: "I have a candidate in my mind, but I have to investigate further, after all, he is too close to the Japanese. I'm a little worried." "You're talking about Xu Congliang, right? Are you so optimistic about him?" "I have no other abilities in my life. I am not bad at judging people. That kid Xu Congliang is definitely the first-class material." Mrs. Jin burst into laughter: "In your opinion, what kind of people are there?" Jin Ronggui said solemnly: "The bottom class people have a big temper without ability, like Ye Yong; the second class people have skills and temper, like Masaichi Shimamoto of the Japanese Gendarmerie; the first class people have skills , No temper, Xu Congliang is like this, laughing and joking every day, he can't see any scheming, but in fact his brain is turning faster than anyone else. Bai Shoutian originally belonged to the category of first-class people, but since he was promoted, he got carried away. Not enough concentration!" Mrs. Jin was very interested, but after Jin Ronggui finished speaking, she sighed: "To be serious, let's think about the future, the Japanese's job is not so good, these little devils will turn their faces when they say they turn their faces. It's simply not something that people raise! If we don't make some plans early, we will not be far from suffering." Jin Ronggui's words about planning for a rainy day came a little earlier, at least Matsuzawa Enji hadn't moved his mind yet. At this time, he was drinking sake with Xiao Linjue and Yoshimura Hidezo.Matsuzawa Sonoji, who took off his military uniform and put on a kimono, looked much more refined, but the hostility in his eyebrows was hard to get rid of. Only when his daughter came in with dishes and sake did his gaze change. Soften up. "Keiko, you don't need to be with Dad anymore. We just had a good time drinking tonight, and we have to drink for a few more hours. You should go to bed early, your body hasn't fully recovered yet." Song Ze said lovingly. Matsuzawa Keiko responded obediently, but then whispered a few words in her father's ear, and then bowed to Xiao Linjue and Yoshimura Hidezo respectively, and retreated on tiptoe. "Miss Huizi seems to be recovering well, and she has been freed from the shadow of kidnapping." Xiao Linjue raised his glass and respected Matsuzawa.Matsuzawa Enji was in a bad mood just now, and this loyal subordinate was always worried, so he took the opportunity to comfort his boss.While speaking, he also poked Yoshimura Hidezo lightly. Yoshimura understood, raised his glass and said, "Teacher, I will keep an eye on the gendarmerie. Once there is news about the Kuomintang commissioner, I will immediately report to you." report!" Matsuzawa drank the sake in the glass, shook his head and said with a smile: "Masaichi Shimamoto is not a dry man, he must have blocked the news of the Kuomintang commissioner like a national treasure. That is a big fish, and if you follow the vine, you may be able to find it." Find out the key members of the Blue Shirts Society lurking in Harbin. If you hadn't caught that special commissioner, our secret service headquarters might not have heard anything about it." Yoshimura Hidezo sighed: "Although I caught him, he was handed over to Shimamoto within half an hour, and the subsequent interrogation was completely blocked, and I couldn't get any news." Hearing this, Xiao Linjue thumped the table hard, and said angrily: "General, what the Army Headquarters did is too much. This matter should have been handled by our secret service headquarters, but it was handed over to the gendarmerie!" Xiao Linjue's anger was justified. Before the Spring Festival, the Army Headquarters received a piece of information that the Kuomintang spy organization, the Blue Shirts, sent a special commissioner to connect with the secret agent code-named "Silver Fox" lurking in Harbin.However, this important task did not fall to the headquarters of the secret service, but to Masaichi Shimamoto! Although they were angry, Matsuzawa Enji and Xiao Linjue were helpless, because the prison car escorting the prisoners of war was robbed some time ago and the No. 4 warehouse was attacked, so they were reprimanded by Shangfeng. Great punishment is sure to come.Matsuzawa Enji knew that in the eyes of the Army Headquarters, the Gendarmerie was already a head above the Secret Service Headquarters. If he continued to fail, he would have to walk with his head bowed in front of Shimamamoto. However, there was one more thing that made Matsuzawa Sonoji feel stuck in his throat.He drank a glass of sake and said thoughtfully: "Since Shimamoto stole the limelight this time, let him steal it. It often happens that extreme joy gives rise to sorrow. As for us, we will continue to do our best to investigate the Blue Shirts lurking The 'Silver Fox' in Harbin, judging from the intercepted enemy telegrams, he planned the attack on Warehouse No. We must dig out this 'Silver Fox' before Shimamoto! In addition, there is another important matter that cannot be delayed." "General, what's the matter?" Xiao Linjue immediately put down his chopsticks and listened intently. "Judging from the kidnapping of Keiko, Shimamoto must have placed an insider here, otherwise he would not get the news so quickly. We must find out the insider, otherwise our secret service headquarters will become the backyard of the Shimamoto family Already!" Yoshimura Hidezou frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Teacher, if there is an inner ghost, I think it should be in the police station." "Let's talk about it." Matsuzawa Sonoji took a sip of his wine, and slowly ate his food. Obviously he already had a goal in his heart, and he just took this opportunity to examine the students' abilities. "Masaichi Shimamoto sent a lot of eyes and ears to spy on us, including secret surveillance. This is what we can think of. In fact, last time he found out that Kobayashi Kobayashi had taken Li Lijun away from the police department, he began to suspect us. Prepare to exchange hostages. This is where the problem lies. Kobayashi feels that the removal of Li Lijun is extremely confidential. Although Masaichi Shimamoto knows that we have taken the prisoner, he does not know who is taken away, and how he obtained accurate information. What about it? He will definitely not be able to open a gap with Colonel Linjue, the only thing he can use is the police department, so I suspect that there are people from Shimamoto in the police department, and their positions are not low!" Matsuzawa Sonoji smiled and nodded: "That's right, this ghost can't get away from Jin Ronggui, Baicaiye and Xu Congliang, especially Bai Shoutian and Xu Congliang, they are responsible for interrogating Li Lijun, and Xiao Linjue took Li Lijun away Well, the two of them were the first to know about it. However, Bai Shoutian was promoted by us just now, and Xu Congliang also made great efforts in rescuing Huizi, so they are still loyal to us in principle. Therefore, the investigation of other people cannot be relaxed Well, the Chinese are good at adapting to the wind, and Shimamoto has become so popular recently, it’s hard to say whether they will hug Shimamoto’s thigh.” After finishing speaking, Songze gritted his teeth fiercely: "If you can't find out, just kill what they should kill and withdraw what should be killed. It is better to kill a hundred by mistake than let Shimamoto's mole stay with us !" The wine during the Spring Festival did not dizzy Xu Congliang's mind. After the festival was over, when he returned to the police station, he smelled uneasiness.This smell comes from cabbage leaves. Although the three people have almost the same friendly smiles every time they meet, Xu Congliang feels that behind the smiles are three bloody mouths that are ready to move. Congliang took a bite. 白受天的“血盆大口”一直是许从良警惕的东西，所以他对白受天的笑里藏刀并不觉得意外，但让他出乎意料的是蔡圣孟，虽然表面上和以前一样，但许从良从他游弋不定的眼神中品味出一种幸灾乐祸的滋味，除了这些以外，似乎还透着一股古怪，甚至是仇恨。 他原以为白受天被提升以后，自己和叶勇、蔡圣孟的关系会变得更加紧密，但这种短暂的“友好”关系只维持了几个月，看来就要分崩离析了。 许从良不知道蔡圣孟的变化从何而来，只是下意识地觉得不对劲。于是处事更加小心谨慎。他知道自己现在在警察厅里的地位并不是金荣桂给的，而是日本人给的，虽然金荣桂和白菜叶暂时还不能对自己怎么样，但嫉恨肯定萦绕在他们心头，一旦有个机会就会置自己于死地，更何况有了松泽园治的器重和提拔也不是上了保险，这帮小鬼子天生就是翻脸不认人的东西，一秒钟前对你笑容可掬，一秒钟以后就可能心狠手辣地送你一颗子弹。 但现在许从良暂时还顾不上考虑这些，现在摆在他面前的难题是如何打探到呼延小秋需要的情报。但从哪里能打探到呢？ 从现在的情形来看，松泽园治那里也没有得到情报，否则呼延小秋怎么也能探听到只言片语。只有华山一条路，就是从岛本正一那里得到消息。但自己和岛本只有挨巴掌的“交情”，从他那里得到情报简直是痴人说梦。想来想去，许从良只好抄起电话拨通了吉村秀藏的号码，虽然觉得希望不大，但有一线希望就要试一试。 “吉村队长，我是警察厅许从良。” “许队长，有什么事？” “哦，是这样，我一直想就侦破的技术问题向吉村队长请教一下，顺便请吉村队长吃顿便饭，不知道您这几天哪天有空？” “呵呵，是这样啊，我看看日程安排啊。” 许从良屏气静听，不多时，听筒里传出吉村的声音：“许队长，正巧这几天我都没有任务，都有时间，你定吧。” 许从良心头一喜，忙说：“那就后天晚上怎么样？我在家里准备几道地道的东北菜，请吉村队长尝尝我的手艺。” “好，那后天下了班，我就去你那里。” 放下电话，许从良点燃一支香烟，美美地吸了一大口。吉村秀藏答应在后天，也就是呼延小秋和特派员第二次接头的日子赴约，就意味着那天宪兵队没有什么行动，再接着推导，就意味着宪兵队没有抓到特派员，或者是特派员虽然被捕，却没有叛变泄密。 总之，呼延小秋在后天去接头，最坏的可能就是没有接上，绝不会有生命危险。这真是踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫！ 不过除此以外，还有一件事情让他牵挂。许从良把王强叫进来，寒暄了几句后压低声音说：“王强，暂时把别的活儿都放下，替我办一件事。” “什么事？”王强忙问。 “替我盯着蔡圣孟，一举一动都不要放过。”看着许从良若有所思的表情，王强把张了几下的嘴闭上，重重地点了下头。他知道该知道的时候，许从良一定会告诉他实情。 将手头的活儿安排完毕，许从良兴冲冲地直奔花园街十八号呼延小秋的那幢别墅。 呼延小秋的别墅距离特务机关本部不远，只隔着两条街，不过这里没有刺刀和铁蹄的痕迹，反而处处透着安静和惬意，这里原本是苏俄商人的别墅区，所以长久以来就规划得十分别致，现在又距离特务机关本部十分近，闲杂人等乃至车辆更是寥寥可数。许从良开着摩托车，一路上也没见到几个人，就更不用说形迹可疑的人了。 来到花园街十八号那幢米黄色的小洋楼前，许从良不禁啧啧称叹。别墅不大，只有二层，典雅古朴的穹顶之下是精雕细琢的门楣和墙体山花，柔和的曲线和色彩将这座砖石别墅衬托得动感十足。至于楼体的砖石和门楣栏杆所用的木料，一眼看上去就是上等货，工艺和造型就更不用说了。 “唉，这才是别墅啊，我的那个二层小楼也就在贫民窟里才能称得上别墅。”许从良不禁想到了敲诈何大牙得到的那处房子。 突然，二楼阳台上传来呼延小秋妖冶的声音。“许队长怎么唉声叹气了？这可不是您的风格呀。” 许从良抬头看去，只见呼延小秋慵懒地倚在阳台上，烫着大波浪卷的长发披在裹着貂绒披肩的肩膀上，脸上略带睡意，看来刚从温暖的被窝里爬起来没多久。 “唉，和大美人近在咫尺，却连上楼的机会都没有，换了哪个男人不得唉声叹气啊？” 呼延小秋抿嘴笑道：“行了，你有贫嘴的工夫赶快把摩托车停到后面去，我可不想这么快就被宪兵队的人注意到。” 许从良忙把摩托车推到后面的庭院里，等他再返回来的时候，别墅的大门已经敞开，呼延小秋立在门口一个劲地招手，许从良刚一进屋，她就立刻把房门关得严严实实。 “如果以后有人问起来，你就说这附近发生了盗窃案，你来调查。”呼延小秋说着，轻轻把窗帘拉开一条缝向外打量着。 “你可真是滴水不漏，什么事都往我脑袋上推。” “你不是口口声声说喜欢我吗？这么点事都担不起来，我这个人你还能担起来吗？”呼延小秋伶牙俐齿地回了一句。 “好，说不过你，我回去再弄一份假的盗窃案卷宗，你总可以满意了吧？” 呼延小秋笑了，言归正传问道：“特派员的事情是不是有消息了？” “哎呀，我第一次来你家，连口热茶都没讨上，你这个主人做得也太说不过去了吧！”许从良抱怨着，踱步往客厅走，高档的皮沙发、精美的家具和别致的房屋造型让他连连咽着口水。 “你就别卖关子了，等这事情了结后，你要什么我给你什么！”话一出口，呼延小秋就觉得不妥，脸刷地红了。许从良岂肯放过这个机会，立刻转身向二楼走去。 "What are you doing?" “你的卧室不在二楼吗？你刚说了，事情一了结，我要什么你给我什么，咱们不如现在就颠鸾倒凤去吧！” 呼延小秋杏眼一瞪刚要发火，忽觉得许从良话里有话，忙拽住他的胳膊问道：“你快说清楚，事情怎么就了结了？” 玩笑开到这个份上也就够了，许从良脸色一正，将从吉村秀藏那里打探到的消息一五一十讲给呼延小秋。他本以为呼延小秋听完以后会大喜过望，却没料欣喜之色只在她的脸上停留了几秒钟，随后眉头就紧蹙起来。 “怎么了？有什么不对劲的地方？” “你想过没有，我们的推断是建立在吉村秀藏了解详情的基础上的，如果他也蒙在鼓里呢？这个情况是很可能的，想想看，岛本正一如果抓到了特派员，或者从特派员嘴里拷问出他需要的情报，他会告诉吉村秀藏吗？” 许从良愣住了，这个问题他确实没考虑到，在和吉村通完电话以后他完全陷入了兴奋之中，满脑子想的都是尽快把这个好消息告诉呼延小秋，却没再细细琢磨一番。 他一屁股坐在楼梯上，瞅了瞅楼梯上卧室的门，苦笑道：“看来今天我是无福消受了。” 呼延小秋笑道：“别总想着乱七八糟的事儿，以你的脑子，要是把心思用到正地方，一会儿就能想出办法来。对了，趁这工夫咱们俩确定一个联系方式，免得出现紧急的情况时咱们联络不上。” “好，许队长洗耳恭听。”许从良兴致勃勃地点着头。虽然以前听干爹讲过一些特工的门道，但有美女亲自讲解，他自然乐意奉陪。 呼延小秋敛住笑容，严肃地说：“我家里的电话轻易不能打，除非是刻不容缓、需要立刻通知的，但是打电话之前你也要想好理由，也绝对不能用你家的电话打给我。” "I understand that." “如果事情没到十万火急的地步，你可以让酸猴子来传递情报。但要让他化装成收破烂的，一会儿我们商定一个暗语，这样才稳妥。” “那如果你不在家，或者你当时不方便出来呢？” “这个也好办，我们通常都会设立一个'死信箱'。实际上就是一个经过挑选的无人交接点。这个地点很隐蔽，尽可能不被发现；同时这个地方还容易让来接头取情报的人识别，而且设立它的地方必须是我们随时都可以'有理由'去的地方。比如栅栏处、公园、咖啡馆、酒吧、影剧院坐椅下或者是墓碑缝隙里、厕所水箱里这些无人问津的地方。” 许从良笑道：“说来巧了，我家后面那条街上有一个布告牌，布告牌紧贴着墙，勉强能伸进一只胳膊，里面有个暗槽，那就是本大队长的死信箱。” 呼延小秋奇道：“你对那里怎么那么熟悉？” “嘿嘿，狡兔三窟的道理我比谁都明白，我在那里藏了一把枪，就为了不时之需。” 呼延小秋憋不住笑：“你呀，鬼点子一个接一个。对了，我的死信箱就在话剧院剧场里，14排28座下面有一个暗格，你有事情的话就把消息放在那里。我几乎每天都会'顺便'路过那儿的。” 许从良听完，却皱起了眉头，呼延小秋忙问：“怎么了？不是挺好记的吗？难道你的脑袋记不住这两个数字？” “嘿嘿，我想的不是死信箱，而是忽然想到一个你和特派员接头的办法。”许从良神神秘秘地凑上近前。 “什么办法？”呼延小秋忙问。 许从良避而不答，反而又问：“后天你和特派员接头地点是哪里？” “古玩市场。”呼延小秋奇怪地答道，“这和你的办法有什么关系？” “我听说绑架事件以后，好像你和松泽惠子的关系不错呢。”许从良又一次答非所问。 “是呀，从同病相怜变成好朋友了，怎么呢？” “那就好办了！” 许从良小眼睛更亮了，趴在呼延小秋耳旁低语了好几句。 呼延小秋听得目瞪口呆，但沉思片刻后又点了点头。“虽然冒险，但看起来也只有如此了。我就知道你一肚子坏水，到头来又把难题交还给我！” 许从良哈哈一笑：“你还想要我怎么样呵，我为了想出这个主意，连吃奶的劲儿都使上了。”他瞟了瞟呼延小秋高耸的乳峰，色色地说：“又没地方补充奶水，我容易吗我！” 刚说完，他就发觉不对，呼延小秋的眼神里若隐若现地显出一丝诡秘的神情。 “你不会是又让我干什么危险的事儿去吧？” 呼延小秋哑然失笑：“我怎么会让你冒险？你不是满脑子都想着色的事情嘛，那我就帮你个忙，撮合一个大美女给你。”这回轮到许从良目瞪口呆了。 呼延小秋收回笑容，一本正经地说：“古玩市场那里流氓地痞非常多，松泽惠子一个大家闺秀能去那里吗？我和她接触这些天，从没听她说过对古玩有爱好，她不见得喜欢去。话又说回来了，我虽然和她关系不错，但还没有到特别好的地步，你以为我一个电话就能把她约出来？但你却不同了，我倒是发现惠子小姐看你的眼神很爱慕呢，前几天她不是还登你家的大门了吗？所以得你出马，她才有兴趣去古玩市场。” “真是越来越不能小瞧你了，调查得真清楚，连她去我家都知道！”许从良的嘴撇到了南天门，但心里却在认真地思量呼延小秋的提议。 寻思了半天，他嘟囔起来：“罢了罢了，谁让我喜欢你呢，喜欢上一个女人就得为她赴汤蹈火不是？” “这话说得，怎么就让你赴汤蹈火了？好像惠子是凶神恶煞似的。” “她不是，他老子可是！要是松泽知道我亲近他姑娘，还不活剥了我的皮？”许从良说完，拍拍屁股转身就走，留下一串唉声叹气。 呼延小秋看着许从良的背影忍不住笑，虽然没有得到想要的情报，但她心情却也不坏，这个邪性十足的警察仿佛是个开心果，莫名地就让她放下了心中的包袱。刚才她甚至几乎忍不住想亲上他一口。 许从良开始行动了。三天的时间，要让松泽惠子答应去古玩市场，这比把他灌醉都难。但没办法，灌他这杯酒的是他喜欢的呼延小秋。 想来想去，许从良冲着扑面而来的飞雪呸了一口唾沫：“奶奶的，老子只好使出大献殷勤的手段了。” 从这个妖艳的美女家出来，许从良跨上摩托车直奔木帮。要想得到松泽惠子更多的好感，就要投其所好，而松泽惠子喜欢的东西就在木帮。 此时已是接近正午，一想到刘闯那里的大铁锅炖肉，再加上肉汤里滑腻腻的土豆、绿津津的豆角和黄灿灿的玉米棒子，许从良的口水就禁不住流，油门也踩到了底。 来得早不如来得巧，远远地就看见刘闯的大木棚子上的烟囱冒着白烟，许从良咽了咽口水，把摩托车往旁边的一棵大树上一撂，三步并作两步冲进了刘闯家。掀开门口的棉毡子，他就直奔厨房，但马上就愣住了。 飘进鼻子里的不是肉香，而是一股烂白菜的味道。许从良掀开锅一看，里面果然炖着一锅冻白菜和土豆，竟连一片肥肉都没有，就更不用说瘦肉了。他再掀开饭锅，随着腾腾的热气，棒子面窝窝头的味道扑鼻而来。 这小子什么时候变得这么抠了？ 许从良转身向大堂走去，一边走一边喊：“我说刘闯，你这个木帮三当家该改名叫丐帮三当家的了，这年还没过完呢，你就给我彩霞妹子吃糠咽菜了？” 正喊着，彩霞闻声跑了出来，上前拽拽许从良的袖口，小声说：“许大哥，我家当家的正犯愁呢，你快帮他出出主意吧！” “咋了？年三十晚上不还乐呵呵的吗？”说着，许从良走进了大堂，只见刘闯、孙大个子和大烟袋锅子默不作声地坐在凳子上，都是一脸的愁容。 见许从良进来，几个人眼睛都是一亮，孙大个子嚷道：“真是说曹操曹操到，许大哥，我们刚才还寻思找你出主意呢！” 许从良从怀里掏出两包三五香烟，撇给三人，又喝了一大口浓茶，才问：“出啥事了，说来听听。” “大烟袋锅子，你说吧。我这嗓子都急得说不出话来了。”刘闯扯着沙哑的嗓子，冲大烟袋锅子怒了努嘴。 大烟袋锅子吧嗒两口烟袋，叹道：“许兄弟，是这么回事儿，我们一直和吉林那边有生意来往，都七八年了，一点问题也没有。可前天那边来了信儿，说过了年以后，不再和我们做生意了。这还不算，北边几个镇子的买卖也都黄了，这不等于断了我们的活路了吗！眼瞅着开了春就该大干一场，可现在即便伐了木头也没人要，三当家的担心以后几个月都没活计，这可是二百来张嘴呢，于是就吩咐把粮食和猪肉都储存起来，勒紧裤腰带先扛一段日子。” 对于木帮的买卖，许从良只了解个大概，怎么谈生意更是一窍不通，但分析起问题，他的脑子比谁转得都快。他眼珠转了几转，沉思道：“这些事情都赶在一起，太蹊跷了，这里面一定有猫腻！要我说，你们盯住一个人准没错！” “谁？”屋子里的几个人异口同声地问。 “你们木帮的二当家——齐春海！” “这个……”刘闯咳嗽了几声，迟疑地说，“其实我们也怀疑过他，毕竟这小子始终和我们不对付，也一直想抢我们的生意，但是和我们做生意的都是老主顾了，齐春海即便能抢到一两单生意，也不可能把我们的财路都断了啊，他绝对没有那么大的能耐！” “他没那么大的能耐，可别人有，你以前不是说他是宪兵队岛本正一的狗腿子吗？这年头再有钱的人也怕端刺刀的，要是有宪兵队撑腰，齐春海的腰杆子可要硬许多呢！” 许从良的这句话提醒了众人，几个人的眼睛一亮，但马上又黯淡下去。孙大个子也失去了往日的嗓音，无力地说：“要是那样的话，俺们更没指望了，和宪兵队的鬼子较劲，那就是鸡蛋碰石头啊。” 许从良嘿嘿一笑：“别愁嘛，车到山前必有路，大活人还能让尿给憋死？先把事情弄清楚了是真格的，等弄明白了是怎么回事，咱们再一起商量对策。现在嘛——”他瞅了瞅几个人的脸色，从兜里掏出几张票子。“瞧瞧你们几个，好像八百辈子没吃过肉似的。大个子，去弄点猪头肉回来，再整点好酒。赶明儿我让酸猴子在送点票子过来，咱不管咋的，日子总要过得舒服才行。” 刘闯眼睛一红，刚要开口就被许从良拦住了。“行了，你那破嗓子可别说话了，我听了就不想喝酒。钱那东西就是用来花的，我没老婆孩子，自然要给兄弟们花，客套话就全免了吧。再者说，我还有事求你们呢。”说着，他把目光瞟向大烟袋锅子。 “说吧，许兄弟，有啥事需要我大烟袋锅子的？” 许从良笑道：“我说了你可不能急眼呵。” “哎呀，你就说吧，兄弟一场怎么还能急眼呢！” “那我就说了，我是想管你要几张秘方，就是关于针灸穴位的，多了也不用，治疗外伤的针灸方子就行。” 大烟袋锅子舒了一口气，一边敲打着烟袋锅子一边呵呵笑着：“我当是啥大事呢，敢情就这么点屁事呵，好说！字我是不会写，不过我画得也像模像样，我这就给你画几张！” 这倒大出许从良的意料，他原以为大烟袋锅子会把这些秘方当成命根子一样紧紧攥着，没想到他答应得这么痛快。 大烟袋锅子瞧出了许从良的心思，吧嗒吧哒抽了两口烟，神秘地坏笑道：“许兄弟，你有所不知，针灸最讲究的是手法，轻重缓急差一点都不行，至于那些方子只是个配件而已。” 许从良哈哈大笑：“原来如此，不过我有那些方子就足够了，你的命根子我可不敢要，您老人家一会儿就安心地喝酒吧！” 酒足饭饱之后，许从良又跨上摩托车奔回市区里，他先找了一家装裱店把大烟袋锅子的针灸“图谱”精致地装裱一番，然后才回家捎上酸猴子径直向满铁中心医院而去。 一路上他嘴没闲下来，冲酸猴子说了一路的话，直听得酸猴子丈二和尚摸不到头脑。到了医院门口，许从良摸摸酸猴子的头，笑道：“记住喽，到时候快跑上去才演得真！”说完，许从良整理一下衣服，迈步走进了医院。 松泽惠子正独自一人在办公室里写着病历，忽听门口响起两下敲门声，抬头一看竟然是许从良。 “许队长，你怎么来了？”松泽惠子一愣，随即就紧张地问，“是不是哪里受伤了？” “没受伤就不能来看看美女医生了？”许从良笑道。 松泽惠子松了一口气，心情顿时变成了喜悦，但见到许从良那副放荡不羁的模样又禁不住想揶揄他几句。 “现在可是工作时间，怎么，许队长春节过得不喜欢上班了？” “班还是要上的，不过眼下有一件比上班还重要的事情，我得先把它做完了才能安心办案。” “哦？什么事呀？”松泽惠子好奇地问，她心知许从良口中所说的事情一定和自己有关，却猜不出是什么事情。 “我们中国人有句古话：来而不往非礼也，惠子小姐前几天送我那么多礼物，我要是不回赠岂不是失了礼数？”说着，许从良从皮包里掏出一个精美的紫檀木方匣递了过去。 作为松泽园治的掌上明珠，她收过太多的馈赠：从玛瑙、珍珠到各种首饰，再到名牌衣服、鞋帽，乃至成捆的钞票。只要有一个机会，就会有无数的礼品冒出来，这些送礼的人里面自然有不少对她想入非非的男人，但一看到这些东西，松泽惠子的鼻子里就闻到了男人的铜臭味，再英俊潇洒的男人她也瞧不上眼了。此时，见许从良递过来的匣子也像是装着金银首饰，虽然欢喜，但心里隐隐还是有些失望，淡淡地笑了笑说：“那就恭敬不如从命了。” “不打开看看？”许从良看出了松泽惠子的心思，胸有成竹地指了指紫檀木匣子。 松泽惠子漫不经心地打开，却看见里面只有几张装裱的“字画”，她好奇地拿出来一看顿时喜形于色。 “哎呀，这是你们中医针灸的图谱呀！” “这可不是一般的针灸图谱，市面上虽然有不少中医针灸书籍，但那都是大众化的，真正的好东西都被中医名家珍藏着，谁会拿出来？我告诉你，这可是我一位老朋友的传家之宝，这都是治疗外伤的独家密法！” 松泽惠子如获至宝地看着，兴奋的红晕铺满了脸颊，看了好几遍她才感激地问：“你是怎么知道我喜欢这个东西的？” 这话问到点子上了，许从良心道：
