Chapter 387 It's Mr. Wen's bad luck
Guangan Market.
The detective team stormed into the market and began checking each stall one by one.
Even though these detectives were not good at catching spies and would hide behind when they heard gunshots, they were really majestic when they saw the common people. They straightened their backs and spoke louder. One stall took two apples and that stall took two pears. The stall owners could only be angry but not say anything.
After all, eating two fruits is good. If you really offend them and put you in the detective team's cell, you can't get out without a hundred or eighty dollars.
Several old men selling tea in the market came up quickly, bowing and greeting.
Why is it the tea seller who comes up to speak?
These people are like the managers of the market. They boil tea in large kettles here before dawn every day. All vendors and shops come here to buy tea. Each stall costs 40 taels of silver and no one can refuse to buy.
The water they boil comes from bitter wells, and these vendors have only a few cents in their pockets. Who would drink this kind of water?
So this money is protection money.
You pay for tea, and if something happens in the market, these people will come forward.
It has formed a unique order.
Jiao Zhenguo looked at the detectives searching everywhere with a look of disdain.
An old man selling tea came over carefully, bowed, and smiled, "Sir, hey, sir, what happened to disturb your noble carriage? This place is full of sewage. It would be not worth it if your boots were dirty. If you have any instructions, just tell me. Whether it's money or people, it's all yours. Whatever you want!"
As he said this, he turned around and winked at a man, who then came over with a bag of silver dollars wrapped in red paper, which must have been at least a few dozen yuan.
This old man has been hanging around in this area since the emperor was still in power. He knows that he cannot afford to offend those who come to Guang'an Market to search and confiscate things in a brazen manner, and that spending money to avoid disaster is the best solution.
Because even if there are no spies hiding in the Guang'an Market, it cannot withstand investigation.
Now the Japanese have listed all kinds of things as controlled items. Not to mention those who secretly sell grain in the market, let’s just talk about those who sell southern products. Where do these goods come from?
These days, even the bristles on brushes are important military supplies!
There is a row of stalls selling fish in the Guang'an Market. It is already afternoon and the ice has melted. The unsold small fish are piled up on the ground, giving off an unpleasant fishy smell.
Detectives passing by this place would pinch their noses and look at it.
It is true that fishmongers love to fight, but they are also easy to deal with. No matter whether there is life or death in the fight, they never alarm the government and always pay the due respects.
Seeing the detective's inspection, several burly fishmongers all bowed and nodded without any backbone. One of them even said in a gruff voice: "Sir, you can take these remaining fish home. Put some small fish on pancakes and add two ounces of hot wine. It's better than anything else!"
The detective was furious. "Bullshit! I can't even eat at the eight major restaurants, who wants to eat your stinky fish!"
After saying that, he could no longer bear the fishy smell and turned and left.
The fishmonger was not angry. One of the men continued to smile apologetically and then narrowed his eyes at the detectives.
Is the secret exposed?
How did they find this place?
That shouldn't be the case, otherwise they would have arrested people long ago. This should be a routine search.
In any case, since they have searched this place, they have to be careful not to fall into the trap. For now, it is better to hide.
He immediately said to several fishmongers around him, "Brothers, I'm going to Tianjin to sell fish this afternoon. If the market is good, I'll stay there for a few days and take the truck to Beijing. You guys should be on the lookout outside the city to receive the goods."
The fishmongers all agreed, "Boss, you better be careful. Tianjin is not peaceful right now. The fishmongers are fighting every day. I heard that one of them turned to the traitors and became a traitor. They even used firearms!"
Jiao Zhenguo waited until the detective finished searching before taking the bag of silver. He then waved his hand and said, "This old man openly bribed people. We have witnesses and evidence. This place is really full of filth. There might be spies there! Take him away!"
The old man was dumbfounded when he heard this, you really are not a thing that eats food!
Then Jiao Zhenguo shouted in a deep voice: "Listen to the rest of the tea vendors, hurry up and hand over the evildoers in your market, otherwise, this old man will not be able to get out."
Everyone looked at each other, you guys are the ones doing the evil!
....................
At night, Lao Gao called again, "What a damn bad luck! This rickshaw driver is actually a dead man's food. How can he be a spy?"
Lin Ze was a little surprised. The person caught was not the real boss?
"Director, are you eating the dead's food?"
"Yeah, I have to go to the restaurant to soak tonight. It's so damn unlucky. This grandson and a group of people are digging up graves in various charity gardens. If they dig up good things, it's good. But if there are no burial objects, they will take off the clothes, wash them, and sell them to the clothing store. How heartless is that!"
Lin Ze was also speechless. Lao Gao caught a low-level tomb robber and ended up making a lot of phone calls out of exhaustion.
"Okay, Director, don't be too anxious. The people who should be caught can't escape. You can go to the restaurant to rest tonight. I will tell them to prepare well."
Lao Gao also has a special private room in the restaurant. He is very touched by this arrangement. You know, only talents like Kitahara Ransuke can have a private room in the restaurant, and he, Lao Gao, also enjoys it. Isn't this Kitahara-level treatment?
At night, at a car factory in South City.
A rickshaw driver was squatting there cleaning his rickshaw. The people who were collecting rickshaws nearby were watching and laughing at him. "I say, Wen San'er, when did you become so diligent? You neither go to Shouchang Street nor look for the secret door. Even if you squat here and make sparks, it won't quench your thirst!"
Everyone laughed.
If it were in the past, the coachman Wen Saner would have retorted no matter what he said, but today he was preoccupied with something and was upset, so he didn't react for a while.
At this time, the owner of the car dealership came out with a small teapot, "I say, after you buy the car, come and hand in your share of the car. What are you talking nonsense for? Is it a bother for you that Wen San'er is cleaning the car? You run around outside every day without caring for your life, and you don't clean up the car when you come back. How many years will I lose from using this car! Hurry up and hand in your share of the car. Wen San'er did a good job. I'll save you half a day's share of the car!"
It's not that the boss is kind-hearted. He is using Wen Saner as an example to criticize those rickshaw drivers who don't take good care of their rickshaws.
Wen Saner didn't take it seriously. He had five dollars in his pocket, which was heavy, so he didn't care about the twenty-dollar taxi fare.
Thinking of the five dollars, he felt a little regretful.
There are only patrol police and detectives outside today. Needless to say, they are looking for those people!
Fuck! If I had known this would happen, Mr. Wen would never have taken this deal. It was also Mr. Wen's bad luck. He drank too much at the big wine jar and slept until the middle of the night. He was half asleep and driving the rickshaw back to the rickshaw shop. How did he run into those people? !
But Wen Saner is not stupid. He knows that this money cannot be spent for now!
