" Brother, help me see how much this jade bracelet is worth." A young man dressed sloppily walked into the pawnshop. Zhou Qiong said as he fiddled with his abacus," Jade bracelet? Whose things did you steal again?"
This young man was called Xiao Hei. He lived as a beggar in Nanjing. When he got the chance, he would also do some petty things.
" A woman who followed a foreigner. She looked down on us beggars. She took off the bracelet when she was doing a facial. I took it," Blackie said and placed the jade bracelet on the table.
Zhou Qiong observed it with a magnifying glass for a while before touching it with his hand. He said to Little Black,""This bracelet is very dry and not moist, let alone transparent. The caliber is not suitable for the masses. It's too small, so the price will be lower when it's sold…"
Before Zhou Qiong could finish, Xiao Hei interrupted him,""Big Brother, I don't know much about these things. Just tell me how much they are worth.”
Zhou Qiong extended two fingers.”
"So many!" Blackie was shocked. Zhou Qiong knocked Blackie's head and said," It's only 200 yuan. If that foreigner treats this woman well, how can he afford it if it's not worth 2,000 yuan? You haven't seen the world."
" Big Brother, I'm just a little beggar. How can I compare to you?" Blackie said with a smile.
Zhou Qiong took out a piece of paper from the drawer. After writing something on it, he took out the ink pad and let Little Black stamp his fingerprint.
After the handprint was done, Zhou Qiong took out 200 yuan and gave it to Little Black. Little Black stood on the spot for a while, looking very conflicted, as if he wanted to say something.
Zhou Qiong thought that this kid had struck it rich and wanted to take some money to show his respect, so he couldn't help but look forward to it.
After waiting for a while, Blackie finally said,""Brother, do you think I can get a wife if I earn 200 yuan a day?”
" Get lost!" Zhou Qiong was amused by Blackie. Before Blackie left, Zhou Qiong reminded him kindly," 200 yuan is enough to spend for a while. Don't commit crimes too frequently. Be careful."”
"Alright, Big Brother."
After Blackie left, Zhou Qiong lay on the table, waiting for the next customer to arrive.
Zhou Qiong had been in Nanjing for a few months. He thought he could play with Lan Yanzhi and Feng Manna in Nanjing, but he didn't expect that he didn't have the time to create a relationship.
He didn't know when the higher-ups would call and send a secret letter, so he had to stay in the pawnshop. Even the food was ordered from the restaurant on the first day in Nanjing and delivered on time.
In the past few months, other than passing on information, he had helped some people who needed money to identify the items they pawned.
Although it was a pawn, not many people would redeem it. Pawning was divided into dead pawn and living pawn. Every time Little Black came, he would be dead pawn. Because it was a time of war, the pawn shop only had a month to live. If no one came to redeem it in a month, the items would be confiscated by the pawn shop.
After the items were confiscated, the organization would send professionals to take them away and resell them. The money earned would be profit. Zhou Qiong could take two layers of the month's profit as income every month.
After staying here for a few months, Zhou Qiong already had more than 3,000 yuan in savings, including his salary as a special agent.
"Boss, can I use a living person as collateral?”While Zhou Qiong was lost in his thoughts, a neatly dressed man wearing a black hat walked into the pawnshop. Compared to Blackie who had left earlier, this man looked rather wealthy.
When Zhou Qiong heard this, he said lazily,""It depends on whether it's a man or a woman.”
"How much is a man? How much are women?" The man continued to ask.
Zhou Qiong stood up and chuckled.”
Then, Zhou Qiong closed the door of the pawnshop and entered the inner room with the person.
" Sit." Zhou Qiong poured a cup of tea for the person. The person took off his hat, revealing a face that Zhou Qiong was very familiar with.
It was Zhou Yuhao.
The previous conversation was a secret signal that Zhou Qiong and Zhou Yuhao had agreed on.
If the pawnshop wasn't safe, Zhou Qiong would say " no " when Zhou Yuhao asked if he could use a living person as collateral. Only when the pawnshop was safe would Zhou Qiong continue with the secret signal.
Although it wasn't easy for the two of them to meet, at this moment, the two of them didn't chat about their daily life. Instead, they went straight to the point.
A few months later, Zhou Yuhao was now a major staff officer of the Nanjing Military Council.
" According to my investigation, there is a person in the committee who is a spy of the Japanese. His name is Zhou Hanguang, codenamed Shadow, and he is in cahoots with Feng Zixiong, the director of the military supplies department in Shanghai," Zhou Yuhao said.
"How did you know he was a mole?”Zhou Qiong sipped his tea and waited for Zhou Yuhao to continue.
" This time, the national army is going to implement the plan to block the Yangtze River. He spread the gist of the plan. I followed him and met the contact," Zhou Yuhao said.
"Who is it?" Zhou Qiong asked.
"North Boat Ryuji."
Ryuji Kitashuen, Special Higher Police Agent.
