Chapter 94: The Whale in the Fish Pond
"Since the eldest lady has this heart, why don't we go to the northern suburbs. Fang Bei had an idea, and thought to himself, why not take the opportunity to go out with Song Xinxin and investigate Xia Wenluo's drug warehouse by the way?
But Song Xinxin refused for the following reasons. "What's so fun in the northern suburbs? Poor countryside, if you want scenery but no scenery, if you want famous places without famous places, you are playing me?"
"No, you're wrong. In fact, small villages also have the fun of small villages, as long as you experience them with your heart, whether it is a place of interest or an ordinary village, you can find happiness. In order to persuade Song Xinxin to change his mind, Fang Bei had to use his acting skills and start a serious nonsense and blow the conch.
“...... Okay, I'll trust you once, go to the northern suburbs to have fun. Song Xinxin hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to believe Fang Bei's nonsense very stupidly and naively. Fortunately, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Fang Bei's gourd, otherwise her eldest lady would have a temper attack, and it was estimated that she would be able to turn the whole house upside down.
Fang Bei's face was full of joy, and he didn't want to be seen by Song Xinxin. Then the two got on Song Xinxin's mini together, drove out of the city, and went to the northern suburbs.
A large expanse of fields came into view, and the breeze blew on her face, which made Song Xinxin feel very comfortable, and the long-term boredom was also swept away. She smiled and said to the other party: "It seems that what you said is really right, the countryside also has the benefits of the countryside, although there may not be any unique scenery, but as long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely be able to gain something." ”
"Hahaha, I'll just say it. How dare I deceive Miss Song?" Fang didn't care about him, joking with Song Xinxin on the surface, but secretly began to silently observe the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues.
But the area of the northern suburbs is so large, the two of them have only seen the tip of the iceberg at present, and they have not really entered the depths of the northern suburbs. And Xia Wenluo, as a drug supplier, is very shrewd, how can he set up the warehouse in the closest location to the city?
"There's a small town ahead, let's go down and buy something nice to eat and relax. Song Xinxin proposed. The so-called eating, drinking, and having fun, since it is to come out to have fun, of course, eating and drinking are indispensable.
Fang Bei is Song Xinxin's exclusive bodyguard, and he can only do what the eldest lady says, and it is difficult to refute. What's more, Fang Bei also wants to go to the town to find someone to ask about the situation. So the two came to an agreement and soon entered the town.
While Song Xinxin was enjoying the fun of ordering food in the restaurant, Fang Bei excused herself to go to the toilet under the pretext that she was in a hurry and went outside. He wandered the streets aimlessly by himself, almost purely for luck. After all, if you really have to find someone to ask, you don't know how to open your mouth to be safer.
Imagine if you didn't just grab someone on the street and ask, "Hey, do you have any small drug workshops here?"
What kind of reaction will the other party have? Eighty percent will treat Fang Bei as a psychopath. Taking 10,000 steps back, Xia Wenluo probably wouldn't allow such a confidential matter to be casually known by outsiders, otherwise there would be no need to worry about Fang Bei and Xu Lin, his warehouse would have been reported a long time ago.
"Handsome guy, good ......" A beggar with a dirty face came over to beg for a broken bowl with a missing corner at the mouth of the bowl.
Although Fang Bei is kind-hearted, he really wants to help the beggar. However, there are too many cases of fake beggars cheating money these days, so he has to be careful. Fang Bei looked at the other party carefully, and keenly noticed that there was something strange about the beggar.
The beggar's face and neck are dirty, and people can't bear to look at them directly. But the skin on his wrists under his sleeves was relatively white and clean. Based on this alone, Fang Bei was almost certain that the beggar was fake.
He scoffed at the fake beggar, but instead of debunking it, he began to seriously reprimand the other party. "Uncle, I didn't say you. If you look at yourself, you have hands and feet, is it difficult to find a serious job? What are you not doing well, but you want to learn to be a beggar, is it very promising?"
"You are ......" The beggar was a little angry after hearing Fang Bei's words, but he quickly dissipated his anger and continued to smile, brazenly speaking. "Handsome guy, I won't tell you. Although I appeared to be in good health, I was actually suffering from a serious illness and was weak and weak. It's not that I don't want to look for a job, it's that I'm afraid that people won't accept me if I go......"
The beggar chattered after Fang Bei and confided, as if he wanted to pour out all the bitter water in his stomach and share it with Fang Bei. The more Fang Bei listened, the more bored he became, and finally had to admit defeat, take out a hundred yuan and stuff it into the other party's bowl, and asked, "Is it enough?" ”
"Thank you, handsome man, you are such a good man!" the beggar hurriedly took a hundred dollars into his arms, leaving only a few cents in the broken bowl, and then he quickened his pace and approached Fang Bei.
Don't be angry, he has already given the other party a lot of faces, and he didn't expose it even if he knew that the other party was a liar. But this fake beggar is very dissatisfied, and he has to make inches, and he is almost touching the bottom line of Fang Bei.
"Don't follow me, beware of me turning my face!" Fang Bei gave an ultimatum, and at the same time waved the sandbag-sized iron fist intentionally or unintentionally.
"Handsome guy, you are upright, you look like a talent, and your temperament is extraordinary, you must be a great character. "Somehow, the beggar actually started to pat Fang Fei's ass.
Although the beggar revealed a good conversation between the lines, it proved the fact that he was a fake beggar on a certain level. But who doesn't like to listen to the beggar's words so well? Even Fang Bei unconsciously took the beggar's words deep into his heart and felt very proud.
"Little brother, I think you are either an official or a righteous policeman. I have news for you. The beggar's words when he saw him seemed to be very useful to Fang Bei, so he pushed the boat down the river, determined to share a very heavy and exciting news with Fang Bei.
Fang Bei's eyes lit up, and his intuition told him that what this fake beggar was about to say must be very involved, and he couldn't wait to urge: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you want to tell me, hurry up and say it directly." I made an appointment and was in a hurry. ”
"From the town, all the way north, a few kilometers away, there are a few fish ponds......" The beggar lowered his voice, pulled Fang Bei aside, and whispered his secret.
"And then?" Fang Bei felt that things were not simple, as if some kind of big news was about to come out.
"But you know what? There are no fish in those fish ponds, and this is the strange place. There were no fish ponds but there were people stationed in the neighbouring houses, and as far as I know, every once in a while, a group of men in suits and leather shoes from the city would go to those fish ponds. The beggar spoke eloquently, and his tone was very sincere, telling Fang not to doubt and not to start.
In the countryside, the residents look down and don't look up, and they generally have a good relationship with each other. Therefore, there is almost no constant guard next to the fish pond, and there is no need to worry too much about someone stealing fish. Under such a premise, the things that the beggar said became more and more bizarre. A fishpond with fish is not guarded by anyone, but a fishpond without fish is always noticed, isn't it a sign that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?
"Strange, what is it for?" Fang Bei fell into deep thought, he thought about it, and after a while, finally thought of another very important detail. "Every once in a while, someone goes to the fish pond. What are those people going to do? Are they there to visit the fishpond keepers? No, even if the fishpond keepers' relatives come back from the city, they won't go there even often, right?"
A flash of light flashed, and Fang Bei finally understood all the truth. Everything can be explained as long as it is linked to drugs. The so-called fishponds are in fact the hiding places of the drugs, which is why there are no fish in the fishponds, and those who go to the fishponds from time to time are either buyers or transporting drugs.
"Jiang is still old and spicy, Xia Wenluo, that old guy is really scheming. Hiding drugs around the fish pond, if you don't have the intention to observe, who would have thought of it?" Fang Bei sighed with emotion, and turned around to thank the beggar, only to find that the other party had long since disappeared. I guess when he was thinking hard about the problem just now, they left.
