Chapter 144: Lu Laoqi
Han Laosi is just a small person, even if he is a "traitor", it is still necessary to say whether he can be on the "sanctions" list of the military commander, but it is not ruled out that someone will target Han Laosi against him.
"Lu Wei, where does Han Laosi usually like to go, you should be clearer, let's look for it again?"
"Third brother, I know there is a person ......"
"What kind of person, who is spitting and spitting, is there something unspeakable?" Chen Miao saw that Lu Wei also hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but scold anxiously.
"He met a dancer in the White Rose Cabaret, named Yuanqiu, who was very similar to his daughter-in-law who drowned in the water, and he was like a demon for the past two days, always talking about this woman......"
"If you don't say it earlier, let's go, go to the White Rose Cabaret." Chen Miao glared at Lu Wei, such an important situation, he didn't say it until now.
The general dance hall closes at eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and if the guests do not go back at this point, they will not be able to leave, and if they encounter a robbery along the way, it will be miserable.
Why is the silt in the Suzhou River fattened, that is, there is never a shortage of corpses that were tied to stones and thrown down, and the floating corpses on the river are all normal imaginations, and the corpse collectors can't finish their daily work.
Even if you can't run into a robbery, you will encounter a patrolling concession patrol, and you will be suspicious at night, and you will be caught in it, and you will be beaten up first, and then you will be asked to guarantee and pay money to ransom people, then it is inevitable to break your wealth and avoid disaster.
If it falls into the hands of No. 76, it will be even worse, and if you don't die, you have to shed your skin.
Although there is also a curfew in Huxi, it is basically non-existent, but going out after 10 o'clock in the evening is very dangerous, for ordinary people.
The White Rose Ballroom, compared to Paramount and Cirous, is naturally far behind, but it is also well-known in Huxi.
The consumption grade is slightly lower, the quality of the dancers is also good, and there is a good band, and many people in the society still like to go.
At this point, the dance hall that is still open for business is enough to show that the business is quite good.
Although Chen Miao's dress was more casual, the doorman also had a bit of eyesight, and when he saw Chen Miao's momentum and temperament walking, he hurriedly reached out to help him open the door of the dance hall.
"Sir, please inside."
Chen Miao used to work at the racecourse, and he was also a frequent visitor to places like dance halls, but most of the dance halls he went to were Ciroes, and he went to the dance halls on Nanjing Road and Xiafei Road.
In the western part of Shanghai, because of the chaos of public security, he rarely set foot in it, especially in a place like a song and dance hall.
What's more, collecting intelligence is the job of the intelligence team, and he is an intelligence editor and reviewer, so he will not go out in person.
There are still a lot of guests in the ballroom, and the attendance rate is three or four percent, at this point in time, there are so many guests, which is already very good.
If it's Paramount, it's probably a little more lively than here, and of course, the dancers are younger and prettier.
In the early years, there were also activities to run for the queen of the flower country, since the Japanese entered Shanghai, the entertainment industry has been hit hard, and it is no longer the grand occasion of the day.
Jiao'er is not only beautiful, but also talented, and the most important thing is that someone has to support her behind her, and if she wants to be popular, she has to pay the price.
This sounds fair, but many times, these well-dressed young women, once they become dancers, they can't help themselves.
As soon as Chen Miao and Lu Wei came in, a woman in her thirties, wearing a cheongsam and wearing heavy makeup, greeted them, who should be a foreman or something.
This kind of woman is generally very discerning, she can see at a glance whether the guest is a new customer or a regular customer, and can also recommend suitable dance partners to the guest according to the customer's clothing taste.
can be the dancer foreman of the dance hall, which is basically a dancer, and it is also one of the best, some are old, decayed, and can't find someone to marry, slowly do this, Shanghainese speaks of "white people", in fact, it is a female stream. People.
Wu Yunfu's wife Yu Aizhen used to be this kind of person.
"Is this gentleman, a little faceless, the first time you come to our White Rose Cabaret Bai Xiang (Shanghainese meaning, play)?" The woman looks okay, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes completely expose her age, and the makeup is too thick, but it is very in line with the current popular aesthetics, that is, Chen Miao doesn't like this kind of heavy makeup very much, he likes Liang Xueqin's natural light makeup, which makes people look very comfortable.
This face feels a kind of tiredness at first glance, not to mention, the strong smell of perfume, the perfume is not bad, but it is sprayed too much.
Chen Miao stretched out her hand and covered her nose slightly: "Well, it's the first time." ”
"The first time you come, what kind of girl do you need to accompany you, we have a fat swallow here, all kinds of things, do you like the little jasper, or are you knowledgeable, or cold and noble......"
Chen Miao directly took out ten oceans from his pocket: "I want to find someone, her name is Yuan Qiu, and she works in your dance hall?" ”
When the foreman heard this, his face changed instantly: "Yuanqiu is sick, I haven't come to work for a few days, sir, or you can find someone else, we have Wenjun, Xiaotong, Feifei, Keke...... here."
"I just want to see Miss Yuanqiu, you either call someone over to me, or tell me where she is?" Chen Miao tossed the ocean in his hand and made a crisp sound, "No matter which one you give me, this ocean is yours." ”
A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the dancing girl foreman, ten oceans, just change the news, this is too worthwhile.
"This boss, Yuan Qiu really didn't come to work today, but I know where she lives." The dancer foreman stretched out his hand to get the money, but Chen Miao shrank his hand, and the other party was suddenly empty.
"Boss, you're ......"
"How do I know if the address you gave is true or false, you have a choice, take us there, wait for us to get to the place, and after seeing Yuan Qiu, I will give you another twenty oceans, otherwise, these ten oceans will only be given to you later after we confirm it." Chen Miao smiled.
"If I take you there, are you really willing to give me another twenty oceans?" In the past, Lu Laoqi may have disdained it, but in today's concession, it is a lot of wealth, and in the case of continuous depreciation of paper money, only silver dollars and gold are hard currencies and maintain value.
"Of course, I mean what I say." Chen Miao nodded.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but I'll give you an account of the work first." Lu Laoqi thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, no problem, we'll wait for you."
"Third brother, should we really give her thirty oceans?"
"Of course, if she can take us to find Yuan Qiu and Han Laosi, of course I will give her this money, this is credibility." Chen Miao said, "If people don't have faith, they won't stand." ”
"Oh."
Ten minutes later, Lu Laoqi changed his clothes, and the heavy makeup on his face was also removed, she looked like this, she looked like no problem during the day, but in the middle of the night, if she suddenly appeared in front of people, she could really scare people.
"Yuanqiu's place of residence is not very far from here, but if you walk there, it will take at least twenty minutes, boss, but you are driving here?"
"I didn't open it today, I walked here." Chen Miao shook her head.
"Then let's go over, but this road is not smooth, who do you meet, you two want to protect me?" Lu Lao Qidao.
"No problem." Chen Miao nodded.
The three of them walked out of the White Rose Song and Dance Hall, walked in the direction of Jing'an Temple Road, walked for about ten minutes, and turned into an alley, which was pitch black, and they couldn't see their five fingers.
"Miss foreman, are you sure you are going this way?" Chen Miao and Lu Wei followed for more than ten meters, feeling that something was wrong, and stopped Lu Lao Qidao, who was walking in front.
"Yes, this is the road, this road is a short road, you can save at least five minutes!" Lu Laoqi turned around, showed an embarrassed smile, and explained.
"Really?" Chen Miao sneered.
"Of course it is, how dare I deceive you, boss?"
"I'm afraid you're treating us like fat sheep, aren't you?" Chen Miao sneered, this Lu Laoqi saw that she was rich, so he actually had a crooked mind and tricked him into this alley, ready to rob him!
Needless to say, arranging the work just now is to arrange the staff.
"What a fat sheep, this boss, don't get me wrong, I'm a weak woman, how could I do such a thing?" Lu Laoqi explained, but did not stop at his feet, but continued to walk forward quickly.
It's clear that there are ghosts!
It was really not a cry when he saw the coffin, Chen Miao snorted coldly and chased after him quickly.
Chen Miao's guess was not bad at all, there was indeed an ambush ahead, and just when Chen Miao was about to catch up with Na Lu Laoqi, three black-clothed men rushed out of the darkness, holding sharp blades.
There were also two people behind him, front and back, blocking Chen Miao and Lu Wei in the middle.
"Lu Wei, did you bring the guys?" Chen Miao saw that the idea of catching Lu Laoqi as a hostage had failed, so he could only stop first and join Lu Wei.
"Third brother, bring it." Lu Wei said honestly.
"Just bring it." Chen Miao smiled, coming out so late, of course he also brought a self-defense weapon, he is not stupid, in case of danger, if there is no guy in his hand, he will not even have a chance to fight back.
"You haven't killed anyone, have you?" Chen Miao took out a pistol, smiled fiercely in his eyes, and said, "Tonight, how did the third brother tell you to kill someone." ”
Bang!
The light was too dim, and the man in black who rushed in front of Chen Miao for the first time was holding a sharp axe, and when he saw the pistol in Chen Miao's hand, he was frightened.
Chen Miao pulled the trigger: "Lu Wei, hold the gun steady, aim and then fire!" ”
Chen Miao fired three shots in a row, rushing towards his three black-clothed men, all of whom fell down in response, except for the first one who hit the muzzle of the gun and killed with one shot, the remaining two did not hit the vital point, and fell to the ground screaming.
And Lu Wei shot at someone for the first time, and in one breath, he used up all the bullets in the magazine, and he deserved the bad luck of those two, such a small alley, they couldn't find cover to hide, and as a result, it was tragic, none of them survived.
But Lu Laoqi was scared half to death, she thought that the five of them were dealing with two people, it was not to be caught, and when the time came, she robbed him of the money and divided it equally, and then put the person into a sack, a series of stones, and threw it into the Suzhou River, destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, and the gods did not know it.
Who would have thought that two killers would be provoked.
This time stealing chickens did not make a loss of rice, three of the five died, and two were seriously injured.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me......" Lu Laoqi squatted on the ground in fright, holding his head in his hands, and kept begging for mercy.
"Lu Laoqi, you didn't do much in the past to kill people and rob money, right?" Chen Miao walked over and stood up with Lu Laoqi like a chicken.
"Big brother, you, how do you know about me?" Lu Laoqi trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to raise his head and look directly into Chen Miao's eyes.
"Take me to Yuanqiu." Chen Miao is too lazy to talk nonsense, the sound of gunfire will definitely attract nearby patrols, and as soon as the patrol comes, he can't get out.
"Yes, yes, I'll take my eldest brother there." Lu Laoqi hurriedly agreed.
