Chapter 260: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Ichiro Watanabe nodded casually. He certainly knew that the problem was not with the gendarmerie, but now everyone hoped that it was with the gendarmerie. What could he do?
"At the very least, when the treasures were loaded onto the ship, all the departments in Shanghai could testify that they were indeed antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry."
Ichiro Watanabe nodded. Of course, after the Osaka military police stole the gold, all the items in the boxes were re-counted and recorded, and then sealed.
As for whether the officials left anything behind when they were counting, he, a small captain, had no idea.
"If there is no problem with the seal, it only means that there is a problem on the ship or in the mainland," said Lu Pingsheng.
After hearing this, Ichiro Watanabe put the cup in his hand heavily on the table.
Yes, a seal! They put a seal on it.
How could I forget such an important detail?
"No, it's not that they forgot. It's that the local guys deliberately didn't mention it in order to shirk responsibility."
Watanabe Ichiro stood up excitedly and bowed to Lu Pingsheng, "Lusang, Arigato!"
Lu Pingsheng stood at the door and watched the backs of Watanabe Ichiro and the other man disappear before he turned around and went back to the room.

In the next few days, Wei Miao raised Yuanbao and hydrangeas with Laba at Lu Pingsheng's house.
“I don’t know how many people out there can’t afford to eat, but they are giving fresh meat to two lions.”
Lu Pingsheng, who was smoking, happened to hear Yang Qiushi muttering.
He looked towards the backyard and saw Laba and Wei Miao each hanging a piece of fresh meat above the heads of the little lions to lure them to move.
"If these two lions are well raised, they may be able to defeat ten thousand armies." Lu Pingsheng joked.
Yang Qiushi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly:
"Mr. Lu, it's not that I can't stand it, but when I went out to buy groceries today, I saw the skinny people on the street and felt bad."
Lu Pingsheng patted his shoulder and asked, "How is Laba doing in his studies recently?"
Speaking of this, Yang Qiushi perked up, "Although Laba is a little mute, he has great talent and is a natural-born shooter."
Lu Pingsheng spit out his eye circles, and the smile on his face became more sincere. "Well, teach him well. The future will be very uneasy. Follow me, and you will definitely not starve."
"Yeah!" Yang Qiushi nodded happily.
For Yang Qiushi, the best life is to have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear and not be bullied.
Besides, Mr. Lu saved his life, so no matter what he does, he will follow him.
After feeding the little lions, Wei Miao was too impatient to play with them. On the contrary, Laba was very attentive to the two little guys and even secretly hugged them before going to bed at night.
Wei Miao thought, why not bring Ali over to stay for a while.
Take care of the two little ones, otherwise how will these two little lions and Laba Xue, who are so popular, survive in the future?
"Wash your hands, put on your clothes and let's go." Lu Pingsheng spoke to Wei Miao with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets.
Today is Wang Sanqiang's wedding. According to Shanghai customs, the second wedding is held in the afternoon and the wedding banquet is held in the evening.
The dresses were prepared yesterday. The two of them, one adult and one child, changed into the clothes and drove off with the red envelopes.
I still turned onto the street full of izakayas. Even in the morning, it was still bustling with noise and laughter.
Occasionally, Japanese songs floated out, the tune was gentle and feminine, accompanied by white lanterns blown by the cold wind, and an eerie feeling rose from the soles of the feet.
"Are you still afraid of this?" Lu Pingsheng saw Wei Miao touching his arm, and he seemed to be shaking with goose bumps.
Wei Miao said unhappily: "I am also a human being, why am I not afraid?"
Lu Pingsheng was choked. "These few days, you have been with Laba every day, how come you have become so sharp-tongued?"
Wei Miao curled his lips, "Brother Lu, are you mocking Laba for not being able to speak?"
Lu Pingsheng shut up.
Wang Sanqiang held a completely Western-style wedding. The bride was blonde and blue-eyed, with a plump figure and a white veil on her head. Standing together with him, they looked like a perfect couple.
"Brother Wang, congratulations." Lu Pingsheng walked forward with a smile and hugged Wang Sanqiang, who was dressed in a suit and tie.
This was not Lu Pingsheng's habit, but a new habit that Wang Sanqiang developed in the International Settlement.
After Wei Miao exchanged greetings with the other two, he congratulated Wang Sanqiang with a smile and also congratulated the bride in English.
The chubby bride's eyes lit up, she took Wei Miao's hand and kissed it.
"Thank you for your blessing, child."
This made Wang Sanqiang say to Lu Pingsheng: "Brother Xiao Wei is still likable."
As he spoke, he started talking about the scene when Wei Miao calmly negotiated with the Japanese military police on the bridge.
"I was so shocked at that time. Brother Xiao Wei was neither humble nor arrogant. I thought at that time, who is this kid who came out to gain experience?"
Lu Pingsheng looked proud, "This kid is quite clever."
Before Wang Sanqiang could say something, other guests arrived. He apologized and went forward with the woman.
Wei Miao looked around the crowd and didn't see his three children, so he sighed slightly.
"Don't sigh. I heard that this hotel's braised pork is quite famous. You are lucky."
Shaking water is the fish's tail.
This hotel uses the tail of black carp, and only the tail of a large black carp weighing six or seven pounds is taken.
The fish tail was coated with batter and fried, then braised in a pan, thickened and served on a plate. The fish tail was bright red in color and the fish skin was picked open with chopsticks to reveal the snow-white and tender fish meat inside. Wei Miao enjoyed the meal very much.
Another delicious recipe in my mind.
Beside her, Lu Pingsheng was having a very pleasant conversation with the Japanese inspector. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, the two of them would have wanted to become sworn brothers immediately.
Onozo hooked his arm around Lu Pingsheng's shoulder and muttered, "Lu Sang, you are so great, I met a good candle..."
Lu Pingsheng's cheeks flushed, obviously drunk, and he burped and said:
"Little bastard, you are so great too, you are the best bastard I have ever met!"
"Hahahahahaha~ Cheers!"
After the two of them drank another cup, Ono Zong was obviously not sober anymore, and he laughed at Lu Pingsheng:
"The bitch from the Special High Technology Department asked me where I was that night, and I said I was having fun with you guys in the small western-style building..."
When Lu Pingsheng heard the words "Special High Technology", he was shocked.
The Japanese are neither stupid nor foolish. They did not investigate carefully before in order to shift the blame to each other.
But as long as you carefully investigate from beginning to end, there will always be doubts and clues.
"Ms. Yukiko even asked me what I was doing that night!!! I told her that that night, we slept two women in the same bed..."
Lu Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehehe" the two of them let out obscene laughter.
When Lu Pingsheng turned his head, he saw Wei Miao puffing up his cheeks like a squirrel, but the look in his eyes was very strange.
He wanted to tell the brat that he was innocent, but then he thought, why should he tell that brat, he thought he was incompetent!
