got a little closer, and Li Yu suddenly found that the figure turned out to be Brother Cheng who sold steamed buns on the street.

He was in a hurry, walking in the direction of the big world.

Li Yu followed him and gradually walked out of the area of the four roads and came to the territory of the French Concession.

This made him can't help but wonder, what is Brother Cheng going to do when he comes here so late?

Soon, Brother Cheng came to the back door of a single-family courtyard and looked back and forth vigilantly.

Li Yu hid behind the shadow at the entrance of the alley and quietly observed.

I saw Brother Cheng cover his mouth and learn to meow twice as a night cat, and the back door squeaked open from the inside, letting him dodge in.

Seeing this situation, Li Yu suddenly became vigilant, could it be that Brother Cheng still has any unsavory deeds?

After waiting for a moment, he walked briskly towards the single-family courtyard and came to the back door.

Without knocking on the door, he looked at the courtyard wall, estimated the height, ran two steps, jumped up, and climbed the courtyard wall lightly.

With the strength of his arms, he pulled himself up, poked out half of his head, and looked into the courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, unguarded, and there were lights on in the side rooms, and there were faint figures.

With a slight tap of his toes on the wall, he flew over the courtyard wall with the help of his strength, and then landed lightly on the ground.

Hunched over, he hurried to the window of the side room and listened.

Brother Cheng's voice came clearly: "Boss, I heard that you have the best imported tobacco to sell here?"

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, what is Brother Cheng doing when he buys tobacco soil? Could it be that he is also infected with that kind of vice?

A male duck appeared and asked with a big grin, "Where did you hear that?"

Brother Cheng laughed with him: "I listened to Wang Er, the street slipper, he said that the boss of your tobacco paste here is thick and tasteful, and the price is fair, my wife is about to give birth, the doctor in the hospital said that she is weak, and I am afraid that this production is a little difficult, so I want to buy some good tobacco paste to relieve pain during production......"

"Alright, alright!"

The male duck said impatiently, "What do I care you do with it?

"Brought it. ”

Brother Cheng hurriedly replied: "I'll buy half a catty." ”

"Half a catty?"

The male duck was unhappy: "You should buy spices? Grandpa doesn't do small business, at least buy one!"

One?

Li Yu noticed this particular quantifier.

Among the tobacco, only the best Bengali soil is kneaded into balls and sold.

The tobacco was produced in India and was shipped to East Asia by the British East India Company for sale.

The packaging boxes of this kind of tobacco are long wooden boxes made according to unified standards, and the box is divided into two layers, and each layer is placed with 40 tobacco balls wrapped in cloth or sun-dried large fireworks petals, and the space between the balls will also be filled with chopped and dried stem and leaf residue.

These fillers are all gifts, in addition to these fillers, the net weight of the tobacco itself is 164 pounds, according to the current unit conversion of 125 catties, a tobacco ball is 25 taels.

This kind of high-end goods has always been enjoyed by rich people in the private rooms of tobacco houses, and this courtyard is clearly an ordinary homestay, how can there be good Bengali local sales?

Could it be a smuggler?

"One!"

Brother Cheng couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this: "We can't use so much!"

The male duck's voice was not ambiguous at all: "I don't care if you use it?" cut you half a catty, and tell me to sell the rest? At least one!

"This ......"

Brother Cheng made a difficulty.

After thinking for a moment, he said helplessly: "Okay, just one for one, but I didn't bring that much money." ”

"How many did you bring?"

"Two oceans. ”

"Well, it's not enough, there's still twenty-three pieces missing. ”

As he spoke, there was a clanging sound, as if the male duck's voice had snatched away two pieces of ocean.

"Huh?

Brother Cheng was surprised and asked, "Twenty-three yuan, so expensive?"

"Too expensive?"

The male duck sneered: "It's too expensive to smoke red clay?

"You!"

Brother Cheng was angry: "That red clay is poisonous, sucking too much urine and blood, aren't you cursing my family?"

"Hey, you little red guy, you can't afford to buy goods, you talk a lot!"

Brother Cheng was so angry that his voice trembled a little: "I came to buy it when I heard that the price here is fair, and the public class soil in the tobacco house is only ten yuan a catty, and you sell it too expensive!"

"I don't care how much the tobacco house sells, I only sell it for one dollar or two here, sixteen yuan a catty, what's wrong?"

Brother Cheng snorted and gasped, and suddenly spoke: "I won't buy it! Give me back the money!"

"What are you doing, what are you doing, are you trying to rob it?"

"Oh fuck! dare bite me!

Hearing that his hand was moving inside, Li Yu's expression froze, and he hurriedly pulled out his gun and was about to break in.

Just as he was about to bang on the door, he heard a "bang" of gunfire in the room.

Bang dang!

He slammed open the door and saw Brother Cheng, who was standing at a wooden table, holding his stomach and slowly falling to the ground.

"Brother Cheng!"

He stepped forward and helped Brother Cheng.

"Inspector Li ......"

Brother Cheng's stomach was bleeding, and he closed his eyes in pain.

He looked around and saw that the room was empty except for Brother Cheng, and the window on the other side was wide open, swaying by the night breeze.

Putting down Brother Cheng, he pulled his legs and ran to the window.

Climb through the window and you'll find the backyard façade.

He jumped up, turned over the wall, looked back and forth, but there was no sign of the duck's voice.

That's a run?

Worried about Brother Cheng's safety, he jumped off the outer wall and returned to the side room, only to find that Brother Cheng had disappeared, only the door was wide open.

He was shot, and if he ran around again, it would be easy for the bullet to deflect, causing his life to be in danger.

He chased out of the gate and looked around, but he didn't see any trace of Brother Cheng.

How so?

He returned to the courtyard and came to the side chamber.

This time, he saw the layout of the room clearly.

On the right side of the entrance is a desk and a chair, and there is a wooden cabinet and a bookshelf behind it.

There was a yellow-black ball of tobacco on the wooden table, he reached out and grabbed it, only to feel that his tentacles were soft, and it smelled like urine, it was indeed the public class soil that Brother Cheng wanted to buy.

On the walls on both sides of the room, there are long wooden boxes, and there are hundreds of them.

He came to the wooden box, and pried open a wooden box with an iron rod standing by the wall, and saw forty balls neatly stacked inside.

Two more were pried open, and so it was.

Li Yu looked at the rows of wooden boxes and was shocked in his heart.

So much tobacco, according to the market price, this is more than 100,000 oceans!

This is a shocking case, and he does not dare to take it lightly.

He walked quickly to the door, stopped the watchman, and asked him to help find Xiang Zhabei, where he personally guarded.

waited until the sky was bright, and then he waited for the hurried Xiang Zhabei and the watchman.

Seeing the room full of opium, Xiang Zhabei was also startled.

After learning that they didn't see Brother Cheng on the way here, Li Yu arranged for Xiang Zhabei to stay here to guard, and he rushed to the chief patrol room.
