Quartermasters can also fight the devils

When the woman heard Zhang Wenwu want her to drink with him, she laughed even more happily and deliberately moved closer to Zhang Wenwu when she sat down.

Zhang Wenwu took out ten yuan in French currency and handed it to the woman. He knew that no one would drink with you for free. The dancers in the dance hall who made a living had to be paid for drinking and dancing. They also had to pay a certain fee to the dance hall every day in exchange for their own safety in the dance hall and outside. If anything happened, someone would help them settle it. It was also to buy a license for them to make money in the dance hall.

When the woman saw that Zhang Wenwu directly gave her a ten-dollar French franc tip, her eyes were immediately filled with surprise. This was a big boss. You know, normally if you accompany guests to drink, you can only get a tip of at most five French francs. She had been looking for business for a long time but couldn't get any. She didn't expect that she would accidentally meet a big client.

After quickly taking the ten yuan in French currency that Zhang Wenwu handed over and putting it into a small white shoulder bag she was carrying, the woman quickly said, "Thank you, big boss."

Zhang Wenwu smiled, he also knew that it was not easy for everyone these days. If it wasn't for the other party, who would be a dancer? Besides, the money came from the Investigation Office's funds, so he could just consider it as a relief to others.

"What's your name, miss? What would you like to drink?" Zhang Wenwu asked casually.

"Boss, my name is Yan Shanshan, you can just call me Shanshan, that's what everyone in the dance hall calls me. I'll just drink beer, boss, what's your name, you look like a big businessman, right?" Yan Shanshan introduced herself charmingly, and also wanted to test Zhang Wenwu's background. If this is a big boss, she must serve him well, and the tips she gets will definitely be quite a lot.

"Oh, Miss Shanshan, it's an honor. My last name is Huang. I run a small business in Shanghai, but I can't be a boss. This time I heard from a friend that there is a woman named Hong Qiangwei who came to Jinling today to do some business. It's a good opportunity for me to come and take a look." Zhang Wenwu ordered a beer from the waiter at the bar, and then told the purpose of his visit with a longing look on his face. This made Yan Shanshan unhappy. All men are not good things. How can you be so longing for other women when she is right in front of you?

Yan Shanshan was not feeling very comfortable, but still said with a smile: "Oh, Boss Huang came here specially to see Qiangwei. Then Boss Huang might be disappointed. Qiangwei hasn't come for many days. I guess Boss Huang might go back disappointed today." She was indeed a little jealous. Red Qiangwei was beautiful, but she had not been here for many days, and she was still stealing business. It was so hateful.

"Ah, Hong Qiangwei is not here, when will she come back? I have to go back to Shanghai in a few days." Zhang Wenwu asked anxiously. But in his heart he was very happy, it seemed that Yan Shanshan knew Hong Qiangwei, or at least had seen her, which was a good thing.

Yan Shanshan took the beer from the bartender, took a sip and said, "I don't know when Qiangwei will return to the dance hall, but I don't think she will come back."

"Huh? Why, she doesn't do it anymore? What happened?" Zhang Wenwu asked curiously.

"I don't know about that. Someone came to look for her in the dance hall a few days ago, and it was Hong Tao, a subordinate of the dance hall's owner, Mr. Xie, who stepped in to help settle the matter. I heard that Hong Qiangwei seemed to have committed a crime, and those people came to arrest her. Alas, I don't know what crime Hong Qiangwei had committed. She was just a dancer and drinker, what crime could she have committed?" After Yan Shanshan explained the situation, she also complained a few words. In her opinion, that group of people must have found some excuse to come to the dance hall and extort money.

Zhang Wenwu was also stunned for a moment. There was no need to think about it. It must be that the people from the Investigation Bureau who came here did not conduct detailed inquiries to the people in the dance hall after accepting the gift from the dance hall. From what Yan Shanshan said, it can be clearly felt that the people in the dance hall who knew Hong Qiangwei had not been questioned. As for the practice of the dance hall, he could understand it. After all, if the people from the Investigation Bureau questioned the waiters and dancers on a large scale, it would easily cause panic among everyone. Maybe by then, if the matter of Hong Qiangwei was not made clear, they would reveal some other things, which would be fun. What's more, if the guests knew that there was something wrong with the dancers in the dance hall, it would be a fatal blow to the business of the dance hall.

No wonder I saw so little information about Hong Qiangwei in the investigation department. It turned out that there was no investigation at all. The people who came to investigate took the money from the dance hall and simply made a big deal out of it. The report said: No one in the dance hall knew Hong Qiangwei, and many people who were asked said they had no impression of this person.

Zhang Wenwu suppressed his urge to curse and asked Yan Shanshan, "From what you said, it seems that you know Hong Qiangwei. You don't even know what happened. It seems that those people are just looking for trouble. Alas." After saying that, Zhang Wenwu lit a cigarette for Yan Shanshan.

Hearing what Zhang Wenwu said, Yan Shanshan took a puff of cigarette and nodded quickly, saying, "Boss Huang, you are too accurate. That group of people obviously came to the dance hall to ask for money. If something serious happened to Qiangwei, they would ask us sisters about the situation." Yan Shanshan was a little angry when she talked about the people in the Investigation Office. After taking a sip of beer, she continued, "Of course I know Qiangwei. She is a nice person, but she doesn't like to talk much. I met her on the first day she came to the dance hall, and we had dinner together. She is also a poor person. She found an unreliable man and was cheated of her body and money. Later, she had no choice but to come to the dance hall to work and make money. On the first day she came to the dance hall, she met a rich man. The sister who accompanied this guest told me that the man was an official in the Jinling Court. Qiangwei is too easy to trust people. She just met that man and didn't come to work in the dance hall the next day. It's only been a few days and something happened. Hey, I guess she was cheated by that man again."

Shit, Zhang Wenwu cursed the people from the Investigation Department in his heart. This is such an important clue, how can you handle the case like this? With your way, who can you catch? This is ridiculous.

"Oh, then I guess it was that the guy got into trouble and implicated Hong Qiangwei. Otherwise, how could a weak woman like her commit such a crime? What a pity. I was looking for a chance to ask Hong Qiangwei out for dinner." Zhang Wenwu sighed with regret.

"Boss Huang, I didn't realize you were so infatuated. You're much better than those stinky men. You haven't even met her, but you've already started to have a one-sided crush on her. Hahaha." When Yan Shanshan heard that Zhang Wenwu also acknowledged that Hong Qiangwei was innocent, she immediately thought that Zhang Wenwu was a good person.

"Ah, it's business that delayed me, otherwise I would have come here a long time ago. What a pity. By the way, Miss Yan, do you know where Hong Qiangwei lives? I'll go to her house to look for her, maybe I can meet her. I have to go back to Shanghai soon, and I really don't want to give up." Zhang Wenwu thought about it and felt that he should re-investigate the information about Hong Qiangwei himself. He couldn't just look at the crappy information from the Investigation Office. It was too unreliable.

"Haha, Boss Huang, you want to see Hong Qiangwei so much? Her house is not far away, but I don't think you can see her. I went to look for her two days ago, but there was no one in the house. If you really want to go, go to No. 28 Huimin Street." Although Yan Shanshan was not very optimistic about Zhang Wenwu's idea, she still gave him the address of Hong Qiangwei. After all, this customer gave her a ten-dollar tip in French francs, so she still had to maintain a good relationship with him.

Zhang Wenwu also laughed and said that he was just giving it a try. He had finally come here and he still wanted to see the red rose with his own eyes.

The two of them started drinking right away. Before leaving, Zhang Wenwu gave Yan Shanshan a 20-yuan tip in French currency and told her his contact number, asking her to call him after seeing Hong Qiangwei. He would give him a bigger tip then.

Yan Shanshan happily took the money and said that if she saw Hong Qiangwei, she would definitely call Zhang Wenwu.

After Zhang Wenwu walked out of the dance hall, Yan Shanshan's face immediately turned serious. She had been a dancer for such a long time and had seen many kinds of men. It was obvious at a glance that Zhang Wenwu was not the kind of man who came here to have fun. Moreover, he asked her for information about Hong Qiangwei, which meant that he was obviously here to investigate Hong Qiangwei. However, she and Hong Qiangwei were just acquaintances, and if she could exchange Hong Qiangwei for some money, she would be happy to do it.

Thinking of this, Yan Shanshan was also thinking in her heart, should she also go to look for Hong Qiangwei? She had seen Hong Qiangwei shopping in the mall once. Why not go there to see if she can meet Hong Qiangwei? If she does, Boss Huang will give her a lot of money.

Zhang Wenwu's face was in a very bad state now, and he was walking on the streets of Jinling City with a livid face. He had just learned from Yan Shanshan about Hong Qiangwei's residence. This address was in completely different directions from the address where the Investigation Department had gone to arrest people before. It was really damnable that those people in the Investigation Department didn't know such important information. If he hadn't come here today with the idea of ​​giving it a try, he would never have known this important information.

At this time, Red Rose, also known as Minamizō Reiko, was tasting red wine in a small villa in Jinling City with a very comfortable look on her face. She didn't show any fear or panic at all. If Zhang Wenwu saw this, he would have exclaimed: She is not hiding at all, she is living a more comfortable life than I am.

At this time, Reiko Minamizō was thinking about one thing, that is, whether to go out and meet that person for dinner and a date tomorrow.
