Chapter 333: Building a Prison
The next day is the weekend.
Zhao Qingru had to go to school on duty today and was about to go out.
Liu Long, wearing a neat suit, was already waiting for him at the door.
"Chief Liu, so early?" Zhao Qingru glanced around nervously.
Compared to Zhao Qingru's nervousness.
Liu Long was very steady. He handed over a book and smiled slightly: "Last time you taught me, a book was left here. I specially returned it to you."
"Oh, thank you for taking the trouble to deliver it." Zhao Qingru took the book.
Liu Long looked like an old rogue. When Zhao Qingru took the book, he pulled Zhao Qingru's hand and touched it: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, but Teacher Zhao's little hand is still so slippery..."
Zhao Qingru blushed instantly.
Could it be that Liu Long came here early in the morning just to return the book and tease her at the same time?
Then Liu Long took her hand and gently patted the cover of the book.
There is something inside the book cover.
Zhao Qingru understood, blushed and nodded, quickly retracting her hand: "Chief Liu, please don't be like this, I still have to go to school for duty, I'll leave first."
Zhao Qingru took the book and put it in her bag, then lowered her pretty chin and walked away shyly.
"I'll take you there?" Liu Long shouted behind him.
"No thanks, thank you Chief Liu for your kindness!"
Zhao Qingru left quickly and reached a corner where no one was.
He then breathed a sigh of relief, looked around to see that there was no one around, and quickly opened the cover of the book. There was a note inside.
Zhao Qingru wrote down the content and quickly tore up the note.
He went to Mingwu Trading Company again to pass on the message to Lao Zhao.
On the way to the Qi family residence, Liu Long deliberately passed by the police station.
I looked at the condition of the prison building.
The buildings during the Republic of China were not like those of modern times. They were all made of steel bars and then poured with cement.
Very convenient.
Here, we lay the foundation first, then build the basement, and then build the first floor.
Bricklaying requires a lot of manpower.
The foundation has been laid. Liu Long is a supervisor appointed by the Police Department and the Security Bureau. With his hands behind his back, he checked the progress in a very stylish manner like a small leader.
"Here, here, it must be solid!"
"Hi! Hi!" The Japanese engineer from Sanyo Trading Company bowed quickly.
You know what, these Japs really didn't cut corners and built a very sturdy product.
Liu Long watched the workers work for a while and estimated that they would start laying bricks for the basement in the afternoon.
With his hands behind his back, he thought to himself, hoping that Lao Zhao would receive his message as soon as possible so that he could make plans early...
Cao Naihan came a little later, bowed and smiled as he handed Liu Long a cigarette. Liu Long didn't take it, frowned and said, "My boss is starting to urge me to finish the work. Don't be so joking. Go to the West Street in the afternoon and find a few more workers to help. We have to finish the work within a month."
"Okay, got it, Chief Liu. I'll arrange it right away."
Cao Naihan put away his cigarette awkwardly: "Brother Liu has been busy these days, right? I heard from my niece that he is entertaining the queen."
"Yeah. It's not easy to serve you! I've been busy like a grandson all day..." Liu Long pretended to sigh, as if talking to himself: "I heard that a lot of people have been arrested recently. Xiao Jixin, this grandson, has made merit again. He has been showing off in front of me all day. I don't know if he has arrested the underground party members, but the Kuomintang..."
Liu Long activates his skill of knowing people's hearts today.
I want to test Cao Naihan.
I heard Cao Naihan's inner voice: The underground party doesn't know, anyway, we didn't catch the core members of the Military Control Commission, we caught a few peripheral small characters whose roles we don't know, and we will report to that bastard Xiao Jixin, and they will be released sooner or later...
Cao Naihan spat on the ground in disgust, and echoed righteously: "He must not have been caught! Just relying on him, Xiao Jixin? I think such a heavy burden as the Criminal Division should be shouldered by someone as capable as Chief Liu. Xiao Jixin is nothing..."
This flattery is... so smooth.
Liu Long chuckled: "Come on, I won't talk nonsense with you. Find a few professional bricklayers this afternoon. This is prison work, don't be vague! If anything goes wrong, I will only ask you."
"Okay, got it, I'll definitely make it right."
Cao Naihan agreed readily.
After Liu Long left, Cao Naihan actually went to the West Street intersection to find a job at the labor market.
As soon as the car from Cao Naihan Fire Department stopped, people surrounded it.
"Boss, what kind of work do you need? Come to us. We can do anything!"
"Sir, do you need a bricklayer? I've been doing this for more than ten years, and I'm quite skilled!"
Cao Naihan looked at the person who came and looked him up and down. He was wearing a tattered straw hat, dirty cloth shoes, mud between his fingers, and carrying a tool basket. He really was a bricklayer. "What's your name? How many people are there?"
The man smiled flatteringly and pointed behind him: "My name is Yu Liu, I'm very good at work. There are five fellow villagers here, we are all from the same group, I guarantee that we can do a good job for you!"
Yu Liu was tactful and whispered: "Sir, if we work for the government, we will give you some money per head. I know the rules. It's not easy to make a living nowadays..."
Cao Naihan was quite satisfied and thought this man was smart.
"Okay! Then all of you, follow me!"
These people got on the truck bed that the fire department usually used to transport people. They passed the entrance of an alley where a man was standing.
It was Old Zhao wearing a top hat.
Yu Liu, wearing a straw hat, held the bike with one hand and gestured to Lao Zhao in the alley with the other hand.
Old Zhao nodded, smiled slightly, and left quickly.
These bricklayers, headed by Yu Liu, were all arranged by Lao Zhao.
Yu Liu and his colleagues were also diligent. When they arrived at the site, they kept building brick walls for the basement.
Yu Liu didn't eat any of the big pot meals at noon.
It was almost dark.
Cao Naihan, who was on the top of the pit, took a look and shouted, "Hey! You're really quick! Almost there! It's getting dark, let's clean up and continue tomorrow!"
"Okay! This is the last bit! Come on guys, work harder!"
Yu Liu shouted and winked at the people around him.
This side is the basement wall on the southeast side facing the street.
Yu Liu did not use cement and sand to lay bricks, but used loose loess. When he was grouting the outside, he added some cement to fill the gaps.
In this way, a person can enter and exit a small piece of basement wall by bending over. Yu Liu and several of his brothers did it this way.
In fact, Old Zhao asked them to do this based on the note Zhao Qingru gave him in the morning and Liu Long's instructions.
Liu Long was at Qi's house, drinking and gambling with Jun'ichi Watanabe, while they were holding Hua Girl.
"Commander Watanabe, I didn't expect you to be so lucky! You won again!" Liu Long pretended to be surprised.
As Jun'ichi Watanabe counted the money, he laughed out loud: "Yasu-san! You make money so easily! I really like to make friends like you!"
Not only did Yanagi Ryu get closer to Jun'ichi Watanabe, but he also helped buy time for that perverted devil Yamada.
Jun'ichi Watanabe took the money and said with emotion, "But good days like this won't last long! In a month at most, we will have to go south to lead the troops in battle, and then we won't be able to have fun like this!"
"Going south, where are we going?" Liu Long asked curiously.
