Chapter 226 A Big Dream (Sixty-six)



Therefore, the entire Shanghai market was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror, and the bodies of foreigners could be seen on the streets every day.

The difference is whether he has yellow hair or wears a loincloth!

Ordinary people are fine as long as they don't get close to the Japanese concession and the American embassy or consulate. At this point, the situation has nothing to do with ordinary people.

The more noisy they are, the easier it is for Jiang Cha to move around, after all, there is always someone to blame for everything.

Later, when they realized that it was really difficult to enter the Japanese camp, they went to the homes of the wealthy businessmen and traitors who had defected to the Japanese.

"Wow! As expected of the guild president's home, it looks truly special. Every ornament in the living room is a treasure! If I were to have another life, selling just a vase would be enough to support me for half my life!"

The president of the Shanghai Business Association was elected by the Japanese. As the president of the Shanghai United Chamber of Commerce, he is in charge of the economic lifeline of the entire Shanghai city.

Many businessmen were eventually robbed of their property by various means. Although they were already wealthy, they ended up with their families broken up and their lives ruined.

No matter whether it was a factory, a business, or a property that the Japanese took a fancy to, the president would rush forward with his dogs at the command of the Japanese.

Finally, he wagged his tail and begged his new master to reward him with some money. Thanks to the bad things he had done over the years, he finally saved up a fortune.

Jiang Cha also observed for a long time before deciding to take action against him, because after her period of surveillance, she found that this family was probably afraid that the conflict between the Japanese and the United States would affect him.

So they have been quietly dealing with their family property in recent times, and those shops and factories have also been quietly changing hands. Every day, you can see several young masters of their family going around to exchange US dollars and yellow croaker.

According to her inference, it should be in the past two days, because the scalper selling boat tickets at the dock recently made a big deal.

It is said that someone booked all the first-class cabins on a ship. If I am not mistaken, it should be their family.

When I came here today, I saw that it was indeed the case. There were several unpacked boxes in the living room.

Yishui's wooden box was covered with a thick quilt, on which vases, plates and other porcelain items were placed, separated by straw.

There wasn't a single servant in the yard. They must have sent everyone away for fear that the secret would be leaked.

These treasures were collected by their own family, so the living room is a mess.

After taking away all the things downstairs, I carefully went upstairs and prepared to search every thing one by one.

Since you are leaving, the things you take with you must be good things. Since you are here, why not put them away?

He put on a gas mask and started to light the incense, but was afraid that the drug was not strong enough, so he took out a large handful.

Anyway, she did it herself. In her previous life, she worked in a steel factory and happened to encounter someone who lit a knockout incense and tried to steal her things while she was on a business trip.

It happened that she felt that the guesthouse outside was too cold that day, so she moved into the space. The thief thought she was asleep after a long time, so he picked the lock and came in, and happened to run into Jiang Cha who was coming out of the space to get something.

As soon as he saw something was wrong, he put on a gas mask and started a one-sided fight. In the end, the thief contributed his ancestral method of making smoke to save his life.

I didn't expect that I didn't use it when running around all over the world in my previous life, but I often use it to find things in this life.

They pushed open the doors one by one and let the smoke in, leaving no one behind on the three floors.

When the time was almost up, they began to search every room, not leaving out anything, even the quilts they covered themselves with and the beds they slept on.

If she doesn’t need it, she can give it to someone else!

Many poor families only wear one pair of pants, so why would they be picky about whether they are used by others?

What's more, the president's family uses the best products. The silk quilt cover is filled with a silk quilt or a thick cotton quilt. A skillful woman can also make several cotton-padded clothes for the whole family to use during the winter.

Following this line of thought, Jiang Cha even didn't spare the curtains in the house. The thick fabric had patterns on it, so what could go wrong?

There were luggage of all sizes in each room, as well as specially prepared underwear with things sewn into them.

If you squeeze it with your hands, it should be a check or something like that, and there are some gold leaves that rustle.

After searching all the rooms, Jiang Cha began to look for a secret room in the house.

After reading so many novels, I felt that there must be many things that I haven’t found. Sure enough, there is a secret passage behind the house.

If it hadn't been dark and she hadn't tripped, she wouldn't have stumbled upon the mechanism that opened the secret passage.

There was a nice-looking swing on the lawn next to the wall behind the house, made of cast iron and firmly cast into the ground.

She walked over in the dark and tripped over the swing leg. When she got up, she felt a small bump where the cement was poured.

You probably can't see any difference with the naked eye. Who would sit on a swing except little girls?

Children would never turn over the dirty grass and soil. They are spoiled children and they are very disgusted with it.

Press the bulge hard, and soon a board will slowly rise up from under the swing.

Jiang Cha used the flashlight to see the raised board under the swing, and found that he just had to lift it up, but he couldn't let go.

Because the board will close when you let go, it was probably designed to prevent thieves from sneaking in and taking things.

Unless the gang goes ashore, but that is not safe, after all, they plan to leave some loyal servants at home to look after them.

Move a large stone out of the space, tilt it to block the board from closing, and then go down the ladder.

I saw that the secret room was surprisingly large. It was probably made by hollowing out the entire house.

The boxes below were packed densely together, and there were also many sacks of ginger tea. I didn't look at them carefully and just put them away and went up the ladder again.

Fortunately, the president is a nouveau riche with no background, otherwise which family’s secret room would be as crude as a cellar for storing cabbage and potatoes?

It hasn't even been treated to be moisture-proof. Considering the humidity in Shanghai, unless it is something like big yellow croaker porcelain, it will be ruined over time.
