Chapter 1223: Screaming in fear(2/3)
"Can I buy a pack of cigarettes first?" Wei Ran finally asked as he passed by Zhongyuan Company.
"Of course," Yukio Sometani nodded.
Hearing this, Wei Ran looked around and seemingly casually stepped on the brakes in front of a cigarette vendor.
"The cigarette seller, come here!"
Wei Ran rolled down the car window and shouted at the vendor who had already approached him.
Hearing this, the young man in ragged clothes immediately ran over and tried his best to put the cigarette case against the car window, "Sir, what kind of cigarette do you want? We have everything here."
He casually glanced at the red and black rag strips tied to the handle of the other party's cigarette case, and Wei Ran said, "First get me a pack of Qianmen and a pack of Camels."
"okay!"
The young man immediately picked out the cigarettes Wei Ran wanted with quick hands and feet, and at the same time stretched out a little black hand covered with frostbite, "There are two packs in total, Chenghui..."
"It's not over yet, don't worry."
Wei Ran turned to look at Yukio Sometani behind him, "Do you need a pack?"
"I'll forget it." Yukio Sometani waved his hand, "I still have it here."
"How many packages of Fairy Brand do you have here?" Wei Ran turned back and looked at the vendor outside the car window.
"Ouch! Let me count!"
As soon as the hawker saw the big business, he immediately took out all the Fairy brand cigarettes from the cigarette case and the bag, "Master, there are 14 packs left. Are you..."
“Want it all”
Wei Ran said, took out a few pieces of ocean from his pocket and threw them into the other party's cigarette case, "Is that enough?"
"Enough! That's enough!" The young man hurriedly picked up the big pieces and put them into his pocket. "Sir, can I pack your cigarette bag for you?"
"Give me the front door and the camel, and seal the rest!"
As Wei Ran spoke, he took out the silver cigarette case, opened it, put the last cigarette deliberately left in it on the cigarette holder and lit it, and then took the two packs of cigarettes handed in by the vendor. He opened the second cigarette.
A pack of cigarettes was taken out from the front door and put into a cigarette box.
At the same time, the cigarette vendor also took out half a newspaper from his satchel, neatly stacked the dozen packs of cigarettes skillfully and flexibly, and said at the same time, "Master, I will give you four packs of matches.
You wrapped it up."
"Wrap it up"
Wei Ran waved his hand casually, "Give me an extra pack of matches, my lighter is almost out of gas."
"Sure! I can give you two more packs!" said the hawker, and immediately took out two packs of matches from the cigarette case and handed them through the car window.
"Just one pack is enough. This crap is not for eating or drinking." Wei Ran said as he threw the extra pack he gave him into his cigarette case.
"Hey! What I'm talking about is, who treats matches as food?"
As he spoke, the young man wrapped up those Fairy brand cigarettes and the extra matches, then took out a bamboo tube the size of a toothpick tube from his pocket, and picked out a small amount of paste the size of a soybean from it with his fingers.
Dip the newspaper wrapped in cigarettes tightly, hold it in both hands and pass it through the car window.
He casually took the cigarette and put it on the passenger seat. Wei Ran rolled up the window amid the vendor's unusual auspicious words, stepped on the accelerator again and drove towards the direction where Someya and his wife lived.
At the same time, the young cigarette dealer who had just made a big deal was again at the gate of Zhongyuan Company, holding his precious cigarette case and started shouting.
However, his frostbitten hands and even his thin body were trembling more and more seriously in this freezing cold weather.
Compared with the patient young cigarette dealer, Wei Ran raised the question that had been pressing in his mind while driving the car - how were Chen Xiuyu and Xu Keqin caught, and were they really the Guan family siblings?
Traitor father?
The reason why he had doubts about this was because when he was at the Haihe River, the behavior of the Guan family uncle made him feel a little unnatural.
Although he only glanced at the big fat man briefly, he could still see the undisguised helplessness on his face. It seemed that he didn't want to be there, and it seemed that... he didn't want to take the blame.
Think about it on the other hand, this uncle of the Guan family is certainly a traitor, but what does the traitor want? To make contributions? Don't be ridiculous, who really wants to make contributions and be a traitor?
What they want is nothing more than to gain glory and wealth by cheating and cheating.
Do you really expect the traitors to work hard? It would be better to expect the Americans to drop ten or eight more nuclear bombs on the Japanese island.
What's more, the uncle of the Guan family is not a fool. What good does it do him to arrest Chen Xiuyu, Xu Keqin and others? Just to expose the rumor that Wei Ran ruined his daughter? Don't forget, although this rumor is unpleasant, but
But he was saving his daughter's life.
Once the rumors about Wei Ran and Miss Ling Lu are exposed, the only difference between directly killing his own daughter and then committing suicide is that doing so will bring more disaster to himself——
Even if he only has one life.
In other words, from the perspective of the Guan family uncle, even if he is a traitor, he will never touch Chen Gouyu and others who helped spread rumors.
Even if conditions permit, he might even help Chen Dogfish to cover up, so as not to cause death for his daughter or even himself.
Since there is no reason for Mr. Guan to arrest Chen Gouyu and others, who else besides Ueda is leading this matter?
Wei Ran couldn't help but frowned. Obviously, Zhida, who was hiding in this matter, must have been involved in this matter, but he probably didn't have the thought or energy to control the Guan family uncle himself.
From this point of view, someone may have been planted beside Mr. Guan, and that person may be the real culprit who killed Chen Xiuyu and Xu Keqin.
It's a pity that although from an emotional point of view, finding and killing the opponent and avenging Chen Gouyu and others is a necessary option without hesitation.
But from a rational point of view, helping Mr. Guan to get rid of this person now not only has no benefit, but it is also very likely that the other party has already laid a trap using Mr. Guan as bait, and is just waiting for the Avengers to come to your door.
But...can Cao Dumb and the others...keep their sanity? Before he could continue to think about it, the car also drove to the door of the Somegu couple's house in the Japanese Concession.
"Come up and sit down?" Someya Yukio opened the car door and issued an invitation at the same time.
"Then I'm not welcome," Wei Ran said, and opened the car door.
The house Somegu and his wife live in is much smaller than the Love Letter Apartment, but the location is really good. Not only is it not far from the Haihe River, but it is only two streets away from the French Concession next door.
Following Someya into the locked door, the first thing Wei Ran saw was a Japanese-style shrine.
Without stopping, Sometani Yukio led Wei Ran into the living room and signaled him to wait a moment, then went upstairs alone and picked up a locked suitcase.
Immediately afterwards, he went upstairs again and made Wei Ran wait for half an hour before walking down again carrying two suitcases that were also locked.
"Help me carry the one just now"
Someya Yukio pointed to the box that was delivered first with his chin, and then walked out of the door without stopping.
Seeing this, Wei Ran bent down and picked up the suitcase next to the sofa, but then he frowned. This suitcase weighed at least sixty or seventy pounds. Obviously, it could never contain anything.
Supplies such as a change of clothes.
Could it be a bomb? Wei Ran subconsciously thought of the worst possibility, and even continued to subconsciously ponder, if such a heavy "bomb" exploded, how many intact bricks would be left in the Love Letter Apartment in the end.
After coming back to his senses, Wei Ran carried the heavy suitcase and followed Yukio Sometani out of the room, stuffing it into the car in the back row.
After the former locked the door and got into the passenger compartment, Wei Ran started the car and asked as he drove back, "Where are we going?"
"Let's go to the French Concession first," Yukio Sometani replied while fiddling with the camera hanging around his neck.
Hearing this, Wei Ran didn't ask any questions and drove his car into the French concession, which was also occupied by nuclear-promoting devils.
In the afternoon that followed, Wei Ran drove Yukio Sometani around the streets of the British and French Concession. From time to time, he would visit some well-known British businessmen or wealthy Chinese businessmen, conduct some interviews with them, and collect some information.
Their views on the current situation, etc.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Taking advantage of this interview opportunity, Wei Ran also used his own camera to take pictures of the various evil deeds committed by the Japanese soldiers recruiting nuclear weapons, as well as the roadmap
Various corpses appeared around.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them returned to the Love Letter Apartment in a car. After Someya Yukio left all the luggage carrying work to Wei Ran, he also gave his camera to Wei Ran and asked him to help.
Use the darkroom on the second floor to develop all the photos taken today.
As for Sometani Yukio himself, he took his notepad and anxiously walked into the storage room that had been lent to him as an office. After Yukio moved all the suitcases in, he locked the door and started working hard.
The man wrote the press release with a quick pen.
Instead of rushing to help Sometani Yukio develop the photos, Wei Ran first went to Tao Canhua's room next door and took a look. Unexpectedly, he discovered that at this time, Tao Canhua was lying on the bed covered with a quilt. Beside his bed, there was actually Ben sitting there.
Qiushi should take the girls and hide in the basement.
Seeing Wei Ran come in, Qiushi immediately made a sign of silence.
"What's wrong with him?" Wei Ran looked at Tao Canhua, who had a towel on his forehead, and then looked at the washbasin on the table next to Qiushi.
"Fever"
Qiushi sighed and said worriedly, "Mother Yang said she was scared. The Japanese doctor who just treated Miss Youmei gave him an injection. Mother Yang also asked Uncle Meng to help her say 'scared'.
I don’t know if it will work or not.”
He reached out and touched Tao Canhua's neck. The hot temperature and slightly trembling body made Wei Ran sigh secretly.
He knew that Tao Canhua, who was lying in bed, was suffering from a heart disease. Simply relying on injections and medication would be of no use.
And what Qiushi said just now, "I asked Uncle Meng to help me shout 'scare'" is still popular in Wei Ran's childhood memory, a feudal superstitious behavior called "scare".
This "screaming scare" not only has different trends in different places, but also every household wants to have different methods.
According to his grandparents' method, the most effective way is to ask the butcher to borrow a sharpened butcher's knife, put it under the pillow and sleep, and wait until the next day.
But according to Suisui's method, the person who was frightened needs to stand at the gate, and then the elder will solemnly call out his name and ask him to go home for dinner. The person who is called should answer loudly.
