After Wei Ran finished speaking, he lit up a cigarette and was the first to go in the direction pointed by the waiter. Pretending to be casual, he put some distance between himself and Tao Canhua and Qiushi, creating some opportunities for these two young people.

After walking all the way, the three of them didn't take long to see a barber who was setting up a stall in an open space at the entrance of an alley.

With just one glance, no matter Wei Ran, Tao Canhua or Qiushi, they all recognized that the bearded master shaver with a broken felt hat on his head was really Cao Mute!

Next to Cao Dumb, there was a shoe shiner who put his hands in his sleeves. The shoe shiner was wearing a light blue torn scarf and a somewhat bald dog skin hat on his head.

In front of him, there was a wooden box for shoe polishing.

While Wei Ran was subconsciously observing him, the shoe shiner looked at Qiushi with surprise. However, when he saw Qiushi quietly tugging at the pockets of Tao Canhua's woolen coat, his eyes were filled with surprise.

It immediately dimmed and was taken back.

Could it be...

Wei Ran suppressed the doubts in his heart and saw Tao Canhua and Qiushi looking at him, so he smiled and said, "This is it. I'll try this master's skills first. After he finishes cutting for me, if you think it's OK,

Let’s invite him back to shave everyone’s hair.”

“Then give it a try”

Tao Canhua said nonchalantly, "Why don't you cut it first and we go for a walk around?"

"also"

Wei Ran took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then looked at the shaver Cao Yuba who was sitting by the stove warming himself, then looked at the service content written on the cloth sign, pointed at the sign and asked, "Master

, how long does it take to get a short Western-style haircut?”

Hearing this, Cao Mute stretched out his hand and gestured with three fingers.

"He said thirty minutes," the shoe shiner introduced in a hoarse voice, "just cut it here, this old guy is very good at his craftsmanship."

"Then let's have short, Western-style hair,"

While Wei Ran was talking, he had already sat down on the folding stool that Cao Duba had given up, and said to Tao Canhua and Qiushi, "You go shopping first, and we will meet at the entrance of Buzhuang in half an hour. By the way,

Do you want me to give you this guy to hold for self-defense?"

"Need not"

Tao Canhua patted his own waist and said, "I have it here. Don't wait too long."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't worry, there is no delay in getting a haircut."

Wei Ran waved his hand, and together with the shoe shiner next to him, he watched Tao Canhua and Qiushi join the crowd holding hands. At the same time, Cao Mute had already put a clean scarf on Wei Ran, and then took it

I took out a hand clipper and a comb and started working.

"Sir, would you like to have your shoes shined by the way?" the shoe shiner said, already dragging his shoe shine box over.

"Wipe it." Wei Ran looked around, and then asked in a low voice, uncertainly, "Xiaoguan?"

"it's me"

The shoe shiner responded in a low voice, and at the same time, he quickly placed the shoe shine box directly in front of Wei Ran. After he straddled it and sat down, he signaled Wei Ran to put one foot on the shoe shine box and extend it.

on the T-shaped handle.

"When did you come back?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.

"It's been more than half a month," Guan Bingwen responded in a low voice while using a brush to clean Weiran's shoes.

"Where's your sister? How is she?"

"She's fine"

Guan Bingwen looked around and continued to whisper, "I gave birth to a girl last month. My sister named her Tongqiu, Tang Tongqiu."

"Do you share the same hatred with me? It's a good name."

Wei Ran muttered for a while and then sighed, looked around and asked in a low voice, "She's back too?"

"She'll be back soon," Guan Bingwen replied in a low voice, "but I don't dare to let her go home now."

"What's going on?" Wei Ran asked, and then he thought of the answer.

"My father was ignored"

Guan Bingwen said in a low voice, "My father has a confidant named Hu Dacai. Before the Japanese occupation of the British Concession, Hu Dacai suddenly turned against me. Not only did he alienate my father, but he also wanted to replace my father and cooperate with the Japanese."

After a short pause, Guan Bingwen signaled Wei Ran to switch to one foot, and continued to clean the dust carefully with a brush while saying, "In addition, when Dogfish and Keqin were killed before, including my sister and I who were targeted by the Japanese, we all got away with this Hu Dacai.

It doesn’t matter.”

"He was also responsible for Gu Yu and Ke Qin's death?" Wei Ran immediately frowned.

"My father secretly sent me the message. At that time, Hu Dacai went behind his back and secretly led people to arrest several students' federation members who secretly posted big-character posters in the Japanese Concession at night, and deliberately let a few of them escape."

Guan Bingwen gritted his teeth and continued to explain in a low voice, "After Pike and Keqin killed Walker, they originally planned to drive his car that night and go with a few others to rescue the captured students.

As a result, they were all ambushed by Hu Dacai and a wave of Japanese immigrants. Xiuyu and Keqin took the initiative to stay behind and let the others drive away with the wounded and rescued people.

And my sister, the reason why she was exposed along with Brother Tang was because Hu Dacai sent people to follow her and found out the clues. This matter was said by Hu Dacai himself when he showed off my father in person after he had blackmailed me. "

"So that's it..."

Wei Ran murmured in a low voice, and then fell into silence at the same time as Guan Bingwen because of several pedestrians walking from a distance.

After a few pedestrians carrying baskets passed by them and walked away, Guan Bingwen continued, "Unlike my father who didn't want to offend anyone, this Hu Dacai really wanted to flatter the Japanese. And we suspect that

, Hu Dacai wanted to replace my father, most likely with the support of the Japanese."

"Ueda?" Wei Ran subconsciously revealed the suspect.

"I guess so"

Guan Bingwen said in a low voice, "Since the Japanese took over the British Concession, Mr. Ueda has been nowhere to be found. Not only him, but his daughter Yumei has also disappeared since she left your place."

"So the problem still lies with Hu Dacai." Wei Ran asked in a low voice, "Shovel him?"

"Um"

Guan Bingwen said in a low voice, "Hu Dacai must be eradicated. He is helping the Japanese find our radio station, and he has recruited many subordinates who are familiar with the terrain. He is a great threat to us."

Hearing this, Wei Ran's heart sank, "Where does he live?"

“I just live there with no care”

Guan Bingwen replied in a low voice, "Half a month ago, Hu Dacai bought the teahouse diagonally opposite Taihua Building.

Recently, whenever we start shooting newspapers, someone will rush out of the teahouse looking for the radio station. They were watching too closely a few days ago, and we couldn't do anything about it, so we asked your backup radio station to be turned on once, and the result was that that day

At night they headed towards the British Concession."

"What are you going to do?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.

"Let's start tomorrow night, New Year's Eve"

As Guan Bingwen spoke, he stuffed a piece of paper into Wei Ran's shoe with the action of shining shoes, "The plans are all here."

"Okay" Wei Ran responded.

"Qiushi...is she with Canhua?" Guan Bingwen asked, changing the topic to a more personal topic.

"Hmm...probably..."

Wei Ran responded vaguely, and when Guan Bingwen stopped talking, he looked at Cao Muba, "Master's skills are very good. Please finish cutting for me later and follow me back. I have many younger brothers and sisters at home. Let's go."

Let’s give them a haircut, the price is negotiable.”
