Lost and Spy

Chapter 333 A Pearl

Bai Mingshan, male, 59 years old, is from Maoming, Guangdong.

He learned the double shape of tiger and crane since he was a child. He came to Shanghai with his master at the age of 8. At the age of 24, he founded "Tiger Hall", which became popular in Shanghai for a while.

Later, it is said that he offended the assassination king Wang Yaqiao, and was cut with an ax in the chest. He had to lie on the bed for a year before he could get out of bed.

He defected to the Japanese very early and worked hard for the Japanese. The disappearance of patriots, anti-Japanese pioneers He Shuangtai, Liu Jiumei and others are all related to this person.

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, they actively waved the flag for Japan, advocating that China is by no means an opponent of Japan, and that the Nationalist government should surrender as soon as possible to avoid the loss of life.

Ranked fourth on the military command assassination list.

This person must go to the "Tianshui Tower" every afternoon to drink tea, and he takes two bodyguards with him, and the bodyguards carry weapons.

This is the material that He Ruyi has mastered.

It has been a long time since he went to the front line to perform tasks in person.

But this time he decided to go out and move.

Meng Shaoyuan is in trouble.

The front-line agents are being repaired, and the agents who were originally active in the concession were transferred up, just in a gap period.

He was understaffed and had to do many tasks by himself.

There is no way, the students are in trouble, so I can only help myself as a teacher.

There are still many guests in the "Tian Shui Tower", and everyone is discussing the ongoing battle of Shanghai.

There was an empty table with an empty teapot on it.

At that time, I told the guests that this was reserved by regular customers, and even if the store was full, this table had to be reserved for the guests.

He Ruyi ordered a pot of tea, put a palm-sized box there, ate a melon seed, and drank the tea.

I haven't lived such a comfortable life in a long time.

After a while, three people entered the door.

The one in the middle is wearing a long gown, and the two on the side are both wearing suits.

Bai Mingshan!
This person likes to be arty, and likes to show that he is very enlightened and progressive, so all the bodyguards around him wear suits.

The reserved table was indeed theirs.

"Master Bai, are you still the same?" The man hurried over to say hello.

"Old rules."

As soon as the tea was served, He Ruyi stood up holding the box and walked towards the table.

"stop."

A bodyguard stood up and stopped He Ruyi.

He Ruyi took off his hat, and bowed respectfully: "Is it Master Bai of Bai Mingshan?"

"Who are you?" Bai Mingshan gave him a cold look.

"My surname is He, and I'm from Hangzhou. I want to discuss some things with Lord Bai."

Bai Mingshan pursed his lips, and the two bodyguards immediately checked He Ruyi carefully whether he was carrying a weapon under the eyes of everyone, and even pinched the top hat.

When he wanted to check the box, He Ruyi shook his head: "Master Bai, there are too many people here, so don't check it anymore. If you are worried about what's in it, I can leave it to you for safekeeping."

"It's done, let him come over." Bai Mingshan took a sip of tea.

He Ruyi sat across from him: "Master Bai, I came to Shanghai to do some business. Later, a friend introduced me that you have a lot of people. Let me come to you to find a way. Maybe there is a way."

Bai Mingshan said lazily, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate." He Ruyi sighed, and his voice was deliberately lowered: "The dog is studying in Shanghai, and he refuses to study hard. He usually goes to some parades and rallies. China and Japan are at war. What does the student have to do with it? As a result, he ran to the gate of Yuanhua Gold Bank to protest, but that night, he disappeared."

Bai Mingshan smiled, of course he knew what was going on.

Yuanhua Gold Bank is the secret agency of the Japanese "Sakura Association". You, a student, went there to protest, would the Japanese be willing?

Nine times out of ten, he was secretly caught by the Japanese, and it is estimated that there is more than good luck now.

In Greater Shanghai, in the International Settlement, missing a student is nothing.

"Master Bai, it is said that you have a good relationship with the Japanese, so I would like to ask if you can find a dog?" He Ruyi pleaded.

Bai Mingshan guessed in his heart that the body of this son surnamed He might have been thrown into the Huangpu River, but since he asked him to do things by himself, he would definitely bleed.

Why don't you take this opportunity to get a vote?
He is a foreigner, even if he is cheated, where can he go to seek justice?

"This, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle." Bai Mingshan sighed: "Japan is a tiger, what about China? A sheep, how can a sheep fight a tiger? If your son falls into the hands of the Japanese, they will say that I am white." So-and-so has a good relationship with the Japanese, but this matter is difficult, difficult."

"That's why I came here to ask Master Bai for help. Master Bai, I know this matter is difficult, so I will definitely not let Master Bai be busy in vain." He Ruyi pushed the box towards Bai Mingshan.

Bai Mingshan opened the box carefully, but only opened a crack, and his eyes immediately became straight.

What a big pearl!
"Master Bai, there are many people with mixed eyes." He Ruyi reminded in a low voice.

Bai Mingshan understood immediately, and quickly closed the box: "Man, open a private room for me."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, and his tone became a lot more polite: "Mr. He, please."

"Master Bai please." He Ruyi picked up his hat and stood up.

When they came to the private room on the second floor, a bodyguard went in to check it carefully, and then came out and nodded to Bai Mingshan.

Immediately, Bai Mingshan walked in with He Ruyi, and the bodyguards closed the door, standing at the door one on the left and one on the right.

As soon as he got off, Bai Mingshan couldn't wait to open the box.

What a big pearl!
It was pure white, crystal clear, with faint hints of lavender luster faintly flashing in it.

Bai Mingshan almost stopped breathing.

"Master Bai, what do you think of this pearl?" He Ruyi deliberately raised his voice.

"Good, good." Bai Mingshan was full of praise.

"Hold on."

He Ruyi opened the door and called in a bodyguard: "Master Bai, let's stop ordering tea for now, I'm worried that someone will leak it."

"Yes, yes." Bai Mingshan stared at Pearl, without raising his head: "I have seen quite a few good things by someone Bai, but this is the first time I have seen something like this. No one is allowed Come in."

"Okay, Lord Bai."

The bodyguard closed the door again.

"Master Bai, this is called 'Hai Yuanzhu', and it is a family heirloom of my He family. This time, in order to save the dog, I had to take out all the heirlooms."

"Your son's matter is easy to talk about." Bai Mingshan said perfunctorily, all his attention was on "Hai Yuanzhu".

"Not only this sea yuan pearl, but even the box containing the pearls is also specially made." He Ruyi stood beside Baiming Mountain: "Master Bai, please pick up the sea yuan pearl."

Bai Mingshan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and carefully picked up Hai Yuanzhu.

"Master Bai, this box is made of decent rosewood, so it's very heavy. Look."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Bai Mingshan only had pearls in his eyes, he didn't even bother to look at rosewood.

He Ruyi smiled.

Then, he violently raised the rosewood box and hit Bai Mingshan hard on the temple.

Bai Mingshan remained silent.

The moment his head fell to the table, He Ruyi held his hand holding the pearl with one hand, and with the other hand, held a rosewood box on his chin, and slowly put his head on the table. On the table.

Then, he suddenly changed his voice, and said loudly: "Good thing, I'm sure someone has opened his eyes today!"

His tone of voice was somewhat similar to that of Bai Mingshan.

He Ruyi put away the pearls, took the top hat, removed the inner lining of the top hat, and pulled out a steel wire from it.

In order to ensure that the top hat will not lose its shape, many hats have spacers and the like inside, which is absolutely not suspicious.

While moving, He Ruyi said, "Master Bai, please help me with the dog's matter."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." He Ruyi seemed to be singing a one-man show there, and immediately imitated Bai Mingshan's voice: "I, Bai, is still very respectable in front of the Japanese."

In fact, he imitated Bai Mingshan's intonation, but it was somewhat similar, but at this time the door of the private room was closed, although it was loud, the voice that came out would definitely be distorted.

In addition, he added the word "someone Bai" to every sentence. When the bodyguards outside heard it, they would naturally think that it was Bai Mingshan who was speaking there.

Otherwise, who else is there besides these two in the private room?

The bodyguard came in just now.

He Ruyi took the steel wire and came to Bai Mingshan, supported his head, pointed the steel wire at the sunken temple, stabbed it hard, and gave him several lashes.

Bai Mingshan may be saved before, but in this way, it is dead.

He Ruyi pulled out the steel wire and threw it aside: "Master Bai, you have to look carefully at this sea yuan bead, it can change color when exposed to light."

"Oh, really, then I beg someone to take a good look at it!"

He Ruyi turned the chair that Bai Mingshan was sitting on towards the bright light, and then let his body lean on the chair, with his back to the door, put his hands on his chest, and looked from behind, as if he was admiring the sea. Yuanzhu.

"Master Bai, please take care of everything."

"Don't worry, Mr. He, with someone from me, Bai, what can't be done? When you go out, close the door and tell my bodyguards not to come in!"

"Okay, Lord Bai."

He Ruyi picked up his top hat, put it on, and walked to the door calmly, opened the door: "Master Bai said, don't allow others to disturb you."

The bodyguard had heard it a long time ago, and looked inside, where Bai Mingshan was concentrating on admiring the pearl.

He Ruyi closed the door, took off his top hat, and bowed slightly to the two bodyguards: "You two brothers, thank you for your hard work."

"Go, go." The bodyguard said impatiently.

He Ruyi smiled slightly: "Please tell Master Bai when he comes out, I will settle his tea money."

Seeing the back of He Ruyi going downstairs, the two bodyguards glanced at each other with some sympathy.

This old gentleman's young master is probably no longer alive.

It's poor, but he is still wishful thinking there.
