"Haha, sister Mingzhu is such a coincidence, Buping just left for less than half a day, and you ran into me, what a coincidence!" Zhang Ziyang said with something in his words, clapping his hands and laughing.

"Zhang Ziyang, you still have the nerve to talk, and you still have the face to be funny?" Yuan Mingzhu pointed at Ziyang's nose.

"What's wrong with me, I don't even have this right... huh?"

Zhang Ziyang was confused, thinking that I didn't do anything bad, I didn't take Lu Ming on any evil paths, I just did my business all day long, it's fine if I didn't get praised, why don't I have the face to talk funny?

"I'm not talking about you, can I talk about personal hygiene in the future?" Mingzhu went straight to the point.

"Personal hygiene? I'm pretty good. I take a shower every day and change clothes every two days." Zhang Ziyang looked at himself up and down, and there was nothing wrong with him.

He just took a shower this morning and changed his clothes. His hair was meticulously combed, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. Although his suit was not as expensive as Lu Ming's, it was passable, at least without wrinkles.

"How can people enter your house, how can people live there? The smell inside is deadly, did you really kill someone inside?" Mingzhu asked angrily.

"Ah, you went to my house? How did you get in? I don't usually live there, so of course...it's not very clean." Zhang Ziyang seemed to be frightened, so he quickly shied away and winked at Lu Ming.

"You asked him, of course I went with him. Is your defense useful?" Yuan Mingzhu pointed at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was a little embarrassed, as if he was the one who did the wrong thing and not Zhang Ziyang: "We went there yesterday to avoid people from the Green Gang."

"Hey, Lu Ming, you're not mean enough, why don't you tell me when you go to my house. Why are you hiding from those scumbags from the Youth Gang?" Zhang Ziyang couldn't figure out what happened.

"I can't explain clearly in a few words. Anyway, we hid at your house yesterday, and we were almost suffocated to death. There, um, it's a bit like a crime scene." Lu Ming smiled.

This is a great opportunity to repair Zhang Ziyang, of course he will not let it go.

"We went in and took a look. It was estimated that there was a murder case here, so we almost called the police. Then we thought it was wrong, this is the residence of the great detective Zhang Ziyang, so forget it." Yuan Mingzhu sang along with Lu Ming.

It is true that Zhang Ziyang hasn't returned to his nest for a while, and he has no idea what the house looks like, but thinking about the pile of dirty clothes and broken wine bottles he threw in the house, the smell in the house must not be much better, but it's not so bad It became a crime scene.

There was a burst of despair in his heart, he never thought that Yuan Mingzhu would follow Lu Ming to his room.He never allowed outsiders to set foot there, and no one knew where Detective Shanghai Bund appeared in the morning and at night.If he knew that these two people would go, he must have found a bunch of people in advance to clean the inside and outside of the house.

"Sister Mingzhu has offended someone from the Green Gang, I will help you to kill him later." Zhang Ziyang slapped the gun on his waist, and the level of changing the subject was okay.

"Liu San is ruthless." Yuan Mingzhu said with a smile.

"Ah? Who is not easy to touch, why do you touch him." Zhang Ziyang was discouraged.

It's okay for others to say that Liu Sanruan didn't dare to touch him, but he is a great hero of the Qinggang, and moving him would be like slapping the Qinggang in the face.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, the Sheng family has settled it for us." Lu Ming laughed.

"What's going on? Generally speaking, Liu San won't take the initiative to cause trouble?"

"We didn't provoke Liu Sanrui, it was Cao Boren who provoked us. We beat him up, so we provoked Liu Sanruin in a disguised form." Lu Ming said.

Lu Ming briefly talked about what happened yesterday.

"Injustice, you are dishonest. How could you not take me with you for such a fun thing?" Zhang Ziyang was delighted to hear that, but he also felt great regret that he could not fight side by side with Lu Ming.

"I'm going to have tea with them, why bring you? Isn't it reasonable to become unreasonable?" Lu Ming said.

"That's right, I forgot I was still wearing this skin." Zhang Ziyang nodded.

Fights between gangs, whether it is a trivial matter or a river of blood, are not allowed to bring in the power of the government and the police. This is the consensus among the gangs to prevent someone from using the authority of the government and the police to bully each other.

While the three were talking, the waiter drove Zhang Ziyang's Chevrolet and stopped in front of them.

Zhang Ziyang greeted Lu Ming and the two to get into the car, and sat in the driver's seat by himself.

"Oh, Zhang Ziyang, have you made a fortune and started driving cars?" Mingzhu asked in surprise.

"This is the police station's bus. Whoever has something to drive will drive. In fact, whoever snatches it will drive. I'm not on official duty." Zhang Ziyang laughed.

At that time, there were not many people in Shanghai with cars, and chartered cars were more respectable. Being able to charter a rickshaw as a special car was already very prestigious.

But Lu Ming never rides a rickshaw, he thinks it is a slave, since they all have legs, why let others drag him around, can't he walk?

He didn't buy a car either, supposedly he could afford a Chevrolet, the price of such a Volkswagen is less than a thousand dollars, that is, less than three thousand dollars.

But he still likes to walk. If the road is too far, he will take a tram or a rented carriage. He has nothing to do with enslaved horses. The egalitarianism he supports has not yet been extended to horses.

Sometimes he would call a taxi in case of emergency, but there were too few taxis on the market, and he had to make an appointment to be guaranteed. The situation of waving for a car could only be seen on the movie screen at that time.

"Hey, do you think it's good for us to buy a car? Don't buy something too expensive, just like this car." Yuan Mingzhu poked Lu Ming with his elbow.

"Okay, let's buy it if you like it." Lu Ming bit the bullet and said, what he was thinking was not very good.

Because Ning Xiner often took Mingzhu out for a ride in the car, and occasionally tried to drive her. Today, when she met Zhang Ziyang driving again, she felt itchy in her heart, thinking that she had a car.

Yuan Mingzhu has been begging her family to buy her a car for some time, but she has not agreed to her parents who have always been obedient, saying that she is crazy enough not to drive, but if she buys a car, she is not crazy enough go.

"You should buy a car, especially if you are not fair, how can you be a detective without a car?" Zhang Ziyang said while driving.

"You want Lu Ming to buy a car, so you can drive it if you have nothing to do?" Yuan Mingzhu snorted.

"Haha, Mingzhu is smart, she guessed what I was thinking right away." Zhang Ziyang laughed.

"Let's talk about it later, I'll go to the car dealership someday." Lu Ming said vaguely.

Generally speaking, car dealerships do not have stock in stock and need to be reserved. After the buyer pays a certain amount of deposit, the car dealership will ship them from the United States. The same is true for German, British, and Italian cars. However, British cars are too expensive and cheaper than American cars. The car is several times more expensive.

In the 30s and [-]s, in the major international cities of Beiping, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, relatively cheap and high-quality American cars ran the most on the roads.

"Which car dealer should you go to? If you want to buy one, just ask my elder brother to get one. The price is still cheap." Mingzhu said proudly.

"Smuggling?" Lu Ming asked.

"What is smuggling? It's so ugly, isn't it just not paying taxes?" Mingzhu said.

Both Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang laughed. Isn’t importing goods smuggling if they don’t pay customs duties?She was so impassioned by what she said.

"Don't worry, with my elder brother covering you, no one in Shanghai would dare to check where your car came from." Mingzhu said carelessly.

In fact, no one dared to stop the car even if no one was covering it. There were only so many cars in Shanghai at that time, and most of them were driven by foreigners.

"Well, if you agree, I will tell my elder brother." Mingzhu said eagerly.

"Okay, just ask your elder brother to get you one, and I'll pay for it. Don't buy a Chevrolet, just buy a Pontiac driven by your elder brother." Lu Ming laughed.

Mingzhu's posture is not asking Lu Ming to buy a car, it is clearly asking him to deliver the car.

"Okay, when the car is bought, I'll be your driver." Mingzhu was so happy that she almost jumped up from the car.

Lu Ming thinks about it, he has never bought any expensive gifts for Mingzhu, and there is no shortage of clothes and jewelry, and it is reasonable to buy her a car for fun.

He didn't think about buying a car before because he was always spending money from his parents, and he was a little embarrassed. Now the Sheng family gave him 2 yuan in one go. This is a huge sum of money, and he can spend it generously once. , Spend on Mingzhu, of course it can be regarded as being used wisely.

"Are you talking about Chevrolet or Pontiac? I heard that Chevrolet is more famous than Pontiac in America." Zhang Ziyang asked.

"In fact, they are almost the same. Chevrolet depends on which year it is produced and which model it is. There are also high-end models. Pontiac is a new model. It has just been launched, so the price is naturally higher. The main reason is that Pontiac's production is small, so everyone I think Pontiac is better." Lu Ming said.

After studying in the United States for six years, he has a natural understanding of the American auto industry. He even visited the Detroit GM car factory. The car he drove in the United States was also a Chevrolet, and he disposed of it as a second-hand car when he returned to China.

Zhang Ziyang drove to a restaurant they frequented. This place mainly serves Huaiyang cuisine. Yuan Mingzhu likes this place the most. Lu Ming's taste for dishes is not afraid of hot and sour, and he can bend and stretch. When he is really hungry, the pickled vegetable pancake is also a meal.Zhang Ziyang is more particular about eating and drinking, and Shanghai Xiaokai's mentality is beyond words.

With the 1000 yuan from Lu Ming in his pocket, Zhang Ziyang immediately regained his energy.He came here not only to treat Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu to a good meal, but also because he had already paid more than 100 yuan here, and he happened to settle the bill while he had money in his hand.

When the restaurant staff saw the three people coming in, they warmly came up to greet them, and led the three of them to a private room without telling them, which was almost Zhang Ziyang's exclusive private room, and he was indeed qualified for this according to his status in Shanghai.

The dishes ordered by the few people are basically the same. The menu of this restaurant has been fixed for a long time, and the dishes they like to eat are basically the same.

"Is there any crab?" Yuan Mingzhu asked the buddy.

"Of course there are. The authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are fat and just arrived this morning."

"How much is a catty?" Yuan Mingzhu asked.

"Never mind the price, give me ten catties first." Zhang Ziyang waved his hand.

"Let's talk about the small ones. Crabs cost one yuan and twenty cents a catty." The man laughed.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the yuan referred to the ocean. The silver yuan issued at that time was one yuan, five jiao, also called half yuan, and one dime or two. The most famous one was the one yuan silver yuan, which was commonly known as Yuan Datou.
