After Li Cui left, Tao Xueming shared this bowl of dumplings with Bao Zhipeng.

After eating, Bao Zhipeng still smacked his fingers, the pork was so fragrant, and the family usually ate it once or twice a year.

"By the way, Taozi, did you say that someone helped us, otherwise why did you suddenly let the two of us out?"

Bao Zhipeng asked.

Tao Xueming shook his head, how is this possible, none of them know each other, and it doesn't have that relationship, no one can help them.

Then he went to wash the dishes, thinking that he would have time to send them over.

……

The next morning, at the gate of the coal plant, two men leaned against a telephone pole, cigarettes in their mouths, and their eyes swept back and forth over the women who walked by.

When you come across something good-looking, you just whistle.

The girls blushed and trotted away.

The two men laughed.

At this time, Team Leader Wang of the workshop walked out, he glanced at the two of them and raised his hand.

One of them reacted quickly and immediately took out a cigarette and lit it for Team Leader Wang.

"Yes, cigarettes with handles. ”

Team Leader Wang said happily, and the three of them walked forward together.

"I heard that those two silly boys opened a bathhouse before, let's go wash up?"

"Brother Wang, those two boys heard that they made a lot of money, but they envy the two of us. ”

"That's it, I've heard that I can make hundreds of dollars a day, and the guests who go to the bath never stop. ”

After listening to this, Team Leader Wang's eyes narrowed, hundreds a day, this is too much.

He has been in the coal factory for almost ten years, and he only gets a salary of more than 90 yuan a month, so why do two poor boys earn more than him.

"Let's go take a shower. ”

Team Leader Wang led the two of them over, and soon came to the bathhouse, and when they came in, they found that many people were queuing.

I just saw the door outside, and the sign said two cents per person.

Team Leader Wang walked over with a smile and patted the table with his hand: "Xiao Tao, business is good, business is so prosperous during the New Year." ”

"Team Leader Wang, Brother Li, Brother Zhang, why are you here. ”

Tao Xueming had a smile on his face, and took out a few pieces of candy and handed them over, saying Happy New Year in his mouth, Wishing you prosperity.

Team Leader Wang stuffed a mouthful of candy into his mouth and said lightly: "I haven't taken a bath for a few days, I want to go in and take a bath." ”

After listening to this, Tao Xueming said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, it's full of people, why don't you wait?"

Bang!

Brother Zhang slapped his palm on the table and glared angrily: "We are so familiar and have to line up, don't you give us face?"

Tao Xueming smiled dryly, and said: "How dare you, if the brothers don't dislike it too much, they can go in." ”

"Two cents for one person, six cents. ”

"What, you're still asking us for money?"

Brother Zhang smiled angrily, pushed Tao Xueming away hard, and the three of them went in directly.

Tao Xueming always had a smile on his face, and when he saw the three people entering, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

It's too much of a deception!

……

More than an hour later, Bao Zhipeng came out of the bathhouse, he walked to the front desk, and said to Tao Xueming cautiously: "Taozi, just now I heard Team Leader Wang say that he was going to do a big ticket at night." ”

"Are you sure?" said Tao Xueming.

Bao Zhipeng nodded hurriedly: "I heard it with my own ears." ”

"Got it, you don't care about it, you don't know what to do. ”

Tao Xueming advised.

Bao Zhipeng sighed, turned around and left.

After another half hour or so, the three team leaders Wang came out with red faces.

"Boy, your bathhouse is good, there is plenty of hot water, and we have a good time. ”

Team Leader Wang said, grabbed a large handful of candy and stuffed it into his pocket, and said at the same time: "Boy, if there is anything going on in the bathhouse in the future, just look for my brother Wang, and Brother Wang will cover you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang. Tao Xueming had a smile on his face.

"Shouldn't you mean that?"

Team Leader Wang said with a smile.

Tao Xueming secretly scolded in his heart, your grandmother is going to charge protection money, it's really hateful.

"Brother Wang is really joking, I'll send you out. ”

Tao Xueming said with a smile and pushed the person out, and Team Leader Wang showed an angry look on his face: "Boy, you show me a walk!"

"Brother Wang walked slowly. ”

Tao Xueming smiled and waved his hand, and closed the door casually.

"Phew. ”

Afterwards, Tao Xueming looked disgusted, took a bath for two hours, wasted an unknown amount of hot water, and finally wanted to collect protection money, dreaming of it.

"Buns, we close early in the evening, I have something else to do. ”

Bao Zhipeng asked, "Why are you going?"

"It's okay, don't ask more, let's start by tapping out how much you earned today. ”

Tao Xueming took out all the change in the drawer and began to settle the accounts.

After calculating the accounts, I found that I earned about 110 yuan today, and after deducting the cost, I could also earn 80 or 90 yuan.

This month, I can earn nearly 3,000 yuan.

The two of them shared the account, and they could each get more than 1,000 yuan, which was more than the adults earned in a year.

"Taozi, if your mother knew that she could make so much money in a day, she would definitely die of envy. ”

Bao Zhipeng grinned.

Tao Xueming snorted, how much money he made must not be known to his stepmother, otherwise the other party will definitely make trouble.

"You go to bed early at night, I have something to go out. ”

Tao Xueming took the bowl and about ten yuan in cash, and then walked out the door.

Walking on the street, Tao Xueming shivered coldly, and he began to think about how to find out the murderer tonight.

He himself suspected that the murderer was Team Leader Wang, as well as the two men.

But first you have to find evidence.

Tao Xueming walked and walked to the bottom of a building, he looked up and hesitated to go upstairs, this is Li Cui, that is, the home of the future mother-in-law.

"Hey, why are you here? ”

Li Cui happened to come down from upstairs to take out the garbage and ran into Tao Xueming.

"Sister Li, I'm here to deliver the bowl, by the way, I have something to do with you, is it convenient to chat?"

Li Cui threw away the garbage, reached out to take the bowl, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You say, what's the matter." ”

"That's the case...... Tao Xueming took a deep breath and said, "I probably know who did the murderer and the criminal case that happened in the county, but I need your help." ”

"Do you really know who the killer is?"

Li Cui said with a shocked expression.

Tao Xueming nodded: "I'm just the object of suspicion, but I'm not sure, I have to ask you to help me." ”

"Then you should go to my uncle and ask him for help. ”

Li Cui said.

Tao Xueming smiled bitterly: "Do you think he will believe what I say, and I don't dare to go in, in case I get beaten......"

Li Cui frowned, this kind of thing, what's the use of coming to her.

"How can I help you?" she asked.

Tao Xueming scratched his head and said, "I plan to let Sister Li use you as bait to lure those three guys out." ”

Li Cui groaned, let herself be a bait, it must be very dangerous.

"Sister Li, if it's troublesome, forget it, I'll find someone else to ......"

"It's okay, I promised. ”

Li Cui nodded happily: "But I don't worry about you alone, I called Xiaoqiang over, and you come with me." ”

As she spoke, Li Cui raised her head and shouted, "Mom and Dad, I'll go out, don't wait for me." ”

"Come back soon. ”

"Got it. ”

Li Cui pushed on the confident car, rode to the front, and let Tao Xueming get on the car.

Tao Xueming smiled, and then sat directly on his legs.

"Grab the corner of my coat, don't fall off. Li Cui said.

Tao Xueming shook his head, it's okay, he can ride on his own, and he won't fall down at all.

More than ten minutes later, Li Cui rode to a dilapidated porter.

After parking the car, Li Cui went to knock on the door, and after a while, Zhou Xiaoqiang opened the door and saw that it was Li Cui, he was very surprised.

Li Cui smiled directly and said, "I'll bring Xiao Taozi over, he has something to discuss with you." ”

Tao Xueming hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, I plan to ask Sister Li to help lure out the murderers in our county." ”

"No, no, I will never agree, you can't let Cuicui go. ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang's face changed suddenly, and ten thousand disagreed.

Li Cui snorted and said, "I agreed, why don't you agree, you're still not a man." ”

Tao Xueming is secretly happy, the mother-in-law is really still very strong, the old father-in-law was crushed to death by the other party in the previous life, and it is estimated that it will be the same in this life.

After Zhou Xiaoqiang heard Li Cui's words, his neck shrank, and he said weakly: "Cuicui, it's not that I don't want to catch the murderer, but it's too dangerous, not to mention the three of us." ”

"You go and call your uncle, we have a lot of strength......

"If there are too many people, it will be exposed, and the three of us are the best. ”

Tao Xueming hurriedly said.

Li Cui pinched her waist and said angrily: "You just said to go or not, I also want to catch those people, if he hadn't saved me last time, I would have almost had an accident." ”

"If you don't go, we both go. ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang cried with a sad face, isn't this forcing him.

"It's a shame that you're still a teacher, and you're so timid, I misjudged you. ”

"Let's go. ”

Li Cui pulled Tao Xueming and was about to leave.

"Wait, I promised, I promised. ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang said bitterly: "For Cuicui, I am willing to do anything, even if it is death." ”

"Phew, don't say such things during the New Year, you pack up, let's go. ”

Li Cui had a smile on her face, fortunately the man she fancied was a little backbone, otherwise she would have to consider breaking up with the other party.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xiaoqiang came out with two hoes from home, the hoes were only half a meter long, and there was no deterrent effect at all.

"Where are we going to find the prisoner?"

Li Cui asked.

Tao Xueming smiled and said, "You look so beautiful, just pretend that the bicycle is broken and push it on the street, and I will hide with Teacher Zhou next to you and be responsible for protecting your safety." ”

Li Cui nodded, and walked forward directly with the cart, Tao Xueming and Teacher Zhou slowly followed in a dark place.

Ten minutes later, Li Cui pushed her bicycle and passed by the coal factory.

After she walked away, two people came out of the coal factory.

"Just now, it seems that Li Cui walked over, and that leg is really fucking thin. ”

"Go back and tell the team leader that we might have a chance in the evening. ”

The two of them looked at Li Cui's figure and laughed cheaply, and they all flowed out.
