Chapter 357 Hongwen Library

On the other side, the middle-aged man on the train finally arrived at his destination. Outside a large bookstore, the middle-aged man paid the car, stood at the door of the bookstore to sort out his clothes, and then walked into the bookstore with his feet.

The bookstore is called Hongwen Bookstore. Although it is just a medium-sized bookstore, it can be seen from the customers entering and leaving that the bookstore is well run.

"Oh... Boss Su is back. Have you ever bought any good books this time?"

"Yes, yes, yes... I've been in a lot! I'll be here in a few days, remember to visit me!"

"It must come, it must come..."

"Boss Su, have you found the book I asked you to help find?"

"I found it, it will be here in a few days. Remember to come and pick it up..."

…………

The middle-aged man walked into the store while smiling and dealing with the customers who were coming forward to say hello.

The middle-aged man's surname is Su and his name is Renqing. He is the owner of this Hongwen Bookstore. This time he went to Shanghai to buy new books for this bookstore and help customers find books.

After all, at this time, Shanghai was China's printing and publishing center, with various publishing and printing companies in Shanghai, and it was the best place to choose books in China.

When Su Renqing got rid of the customer and entered the store, a middle-aged man came up with a smile and asked, "Boss, is it going to Shanghai this time smooth?"

"What can happen if it goes smoothly? Lao Yu, what about the store? Nothing happened, right?"

"No……"

The middle-aged man who came here was named Yu and his name was Kezhi. He was the manager of Hongwen Bookstore. He was responsible for the daily work of the bookstore. After all, Su Renqing often had to run around many places and did not have much time and energy to take care of the bookstore.

While Su Renqing asked Yu Kezhi about his situation during his time out, he walked around the bookstore to see the specific situation.

There are three floors in Hongwen Bookstore, and the first floor sells all kinds of best-selling books, magazines, novels, and other newspapers. However, many bookshelf spaces were empty at this time, and it was obviously very well sold.

On the second floor of the bookstore, there is a place similar to a library, with dense bookshelves and books in the middle, and on both sides are two rows of tables and chairs for customers to read.

There are many more books on the second floor than on the first floor, but compared with bestsellers on the first floor, books on the second floor are much more unpopular, so naturally there are not as many customers as on the first floor.

As for the third floor of the bookstore, it is a place where offices, warehouses, and bookstore clerks can rest and live for a short day.

After Su Renqing walked on the first and second floors, he took Yu Kezhi up to the third floor and prepared to go to the office. However, as soon as he went up to the third floor, he saw a pile of books and newspapers at the end of the third floor.

"Oh... why are these things still there? That boy Lin Mo hasn't come here to take them away yet?"

When Yu Kezhi heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't know what's going on. It's been more than a month, and he hasn't been here once. Do we need to put these down to sell?"

"Forget it, keep it for him! There must be something delayed." After saying that, Su Renqing opened the office and walked in with Yu Kezhi.

Hongwen Bookstore is where Lin Mo would come to read books every week, but during this period, Lin Mo was busy catching Japanese spies, and after the arrest, he was involved in intense training. On the weekend, Liu Shiya wanted to accompany him, so he couldn't find time to come.

As for the pile of books and newspapers, Lin Mo entrusted Su Renqing to help search, mainly books and newspapers printed and published in China, and the contents were all interesting to Lin Mo.

There are also some books and newspapers obtained from Japan or the Japanese-occupied area, but Lin Mo has never learned Japanese and Japanese. These things are translated by Su Renqing for someone to find.

Since it was looking for someone, Lin Mo must have to spend money. He also invested a lot of money in Hongwen Bookstore, and he is considered a big customer of Hongwen Bookstore.

Lin Mo asked Hongwen Bookstore to help find these things, but in fact it was earlier than asking Herbert to help find them. Later, he found Herbert, mainly because Herbert had a lot of relationships in Europe and the United States.

After Yu Kezhi came in, he locked the door and sat on the bench in the office.

"Lao Yu, there have been many big things happening in Nanjing during the time I was not in Nanjing! Tell me everything you know!"

When Yu Kezhi heard this, he nodded and replied, "Old Su, Nanjing is really lively during this period. He first dug up the treasure, causing news of various treasures to fly all over the sky.

Then a large arrest occurred. On that day, people were arrested everywhere in the city, and gunfire and explosions almost spread throughout Nanjing. We were so scared that we were so scared that we were not for us.

However, before the lively days had passed, the incident in Hongkou in Shanghai was again, and the newspapers in Nanjing rushed to report it again, and the city was just around the corner to celebrate.

Lao Su, you were in Shanghai at that time. I told me what happened. I read some reports in the newspaper. I heard that firecrackers were celebrating in the SH city at that time."

When Su Renqing heard this, he did not answer, but asked, "Old Yu, you should talk to me about the arrest first! I will talk to you about the Shanghai matter later."

When Yu Kezhi heard this, he nodded and introduced: "It was noon one day at the end of January. Suddenly, a place in the city started to fire guns, and then there were continuous gunfire explosions in various parts of Nanjing City.

According to the news we found out afterwards, there were about a dozen places where people were arresting people, and fierce gunfights broke out in four or five places, and even grenades were used. I heard that many bodies were carried out afterwards.

At that time, we were very worried that something would happen was our comrades. The bookstore was also closely guarded, but the arrest was over and no one came.

Later, it began to spread in the market again. It was our people who were arrested, which made the bookstore panic. Fortunately, the news was conveyed to us in time, and it was not our comrades who had the accident."

After hearing this, Su Renqing asked again: "Did anyone say who was arrested? Who were arrested?"

When Yu Kezhi heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Old Su, how could he convey so much information to us? Even the news passed down is just to calm people's hearts. You don't know how confidential it is in Nanjing.

However, we have also found out a lot of these situations in the market and customers, and among the arrested people were policemen and another group of casual clothes.

At first we thought that the group of casual clothes should be from the agents headquarters, but a customer later mentioned it to us, and I realized that this was another spy organization in the Kuomintang, which belongs to a department under the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

We are not very clear about the more detailed situation. Lao Su, you want to know! You can ask the above, and the above should know some inside information.

As for whom I was arresting, I can only be sure that it was not ours. There are many rumors in the market, including Japanese and foreign warlords. I guess it might be targeted by which warlords."

"No..." Su Renqing shook his head and said, "It's not a warlord's subordinate, the one who was arrested should be the Japanese."

"Ah?... Japanese? How is this possible? There are still people in the government dealing with the Japanese? Could it be a mistake?"

"You can't be wrong..." Su Renqing shook his head and explained: "The people you are talking about should be the Second Department of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission, referred to as the Military Intelligence Department. I have heard of this department in Shanghai.

They have a Shanghai station in Shanghai and have fought with the Japanese Special High-tech in Shanghai many times, but they didn't expect that they were so strong that they could launch such a big operation in Nanjing to target Japanese spies. It seems that they should not be underestimated!"

"This... this is impossible! There were dozens of people arrested that day. If they were all Japanese spies, their strength would be too... too terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Su Renqing continued to explain: "It should be impossible to be wrong. Now it seems that the matter in Shanghai should be related to them.

The night before Hongkou was burned, I was outside and saw several well-trained groups of people. From the perspective of organization and action, they were clearly from the army.

I used to think that it was done by a Kuomintang military force or someone who had gathered the army, but now it seems that it is a member of the Military Intelligence Department."

"This...This...Old Su, you...Don't scare me! If they did the Shanghai thing, then their strength..."

"Oh... Lao Yu, please listen to me first!" At this point, Su Renqing continued to speak: "The Shanghai incident should be an accident, but there is indeed a driving force behind it.

First of all, the source of everything, the ten-yen yen denomination, those ten-yen were exchanged outside Hongkou that day.

Although those newspapers have the same ideology as saying that Shanghai TK Technology is doing it, as far as I know, some people submit the things reported by the newspaper to the newspaper, and it is obvious that some people poured dirty water on TK Technology.

But that batch of ten yen was a real real currency, which can be seen from the actions of the Japanese bank, and the Japanese have never said that these were fake coins from beginning to end.

Then the source of these ten yen is worth examining. I guess it should be the one that fell into the Military Intelligence Department during the arrest in Nanjing.

Then these people went to Shanghai to exchange the yen for other currencies, but unexpectedly caused a portion of the 10 yen to flow into Hongkou. This caused panic due to some reasons, which triggered a series of events that followed.

This is the first depreciation of the Japanese yen we saw. Next, other banknotes also depreciated, forming banknotes fluctuated many times in one night, sweeping away the wealth of the Japanese Hongkou expatriates.

And in the meantime, these people are definitely inextricably fueling the fire. Their reaction is so fast that I saw them when I depreciated for the first time.

They should be indispensable in all the things that happened later. They must have contributed to the newspaper and led the anger of the Japanese expatriates to TKTech.

The conflict between Japanese expatriates and TKK has developed to draw their guns and face each other, and they will definitely be necessary to fuel the fire.

As for Qiaokou’s smashing, looting, and burning, especially burning, these people are definitely doing this.

To sum up, it is not someone planning the matter in Shanghai, it is an accident, but these people have not been missing from beginning to end, and they have fueled the fire again and again, which has finally developed to a level."
