Text IX. Black Market

In late autumn, the light blue canopy of the sky, like a clean velvet, is inlaid with yellow gold edges.

There was a golden sun embedded in the canopy, and a white cloud was like a lone sail on the blue sea floating in the clear sky.

In Jiangcheng, on the "Thousand Sealed Road", passing vehicles are endless, and a black Audi sedan is driving slowly.

Inside the car, Xiao Moran, who was wearing a brown windbreaker, was intently looking at the road conditions in front of him and the vehicles coming and going, and Lu Haoxuan, who was sitting on the back seat, was wearing a well-tailored charcoal gray suit, a spotless Egyptian cotton white shirt and a straight light blue tie;

The moment I swiped my finger across the screen, I suddenly noticed a new "competitor", which was still a newly incorporated company.

Click into the company page to view the official information, and suddenly saw an "acquaintance", Yan Jinyu, "Yan's Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." ”CEO。

"You really don't give up, do you have to wait until you hit the south wall to turn back?" Lu Haoxuan looked at the woman with a spring breeze on the screen, and shook his head helplessly.

"Master, what you are talking about... Sister Jinyu?" Xiao Moran, who was concentrating on driving in the front seat, asked with some curiosity.

"If it's not her, who else could it be, it seems that she was really angry with me last time, and this time she set up a new real estate company, and she is still the main contender in this bid. Lu Haoxuan gently placed the tablet in front of his right knee on the leather seat, and said in a casual and slightly playful tone.

"You didn't seem sincere like that last time, and she didn't know the key to this, so she will naturally get angry."

"In other words, you are now more and more towards your "Jinyu" sister, and it seems that I am not close to people. Looking at Xiao Moran's incomparably clear eyes flashing out of the rearview mirror in the car, carefully observing himself, a hint of banter suddenly rose in Lu Haoxuan's heart.

"No, no, Xiao Mo didn't mean that, it's just that after all, she and we were also "old acquaintances", and she will recall a lot of things when she was a child, and we were all so naΓ―ve ...... back then."

Yes, there is no taboo in childhood, no guesses in the two children, how beautiful, how many troubles and troubles like now.

Lu Haoxuan, who seemed to be reminded of a trace of past memories by Xiao Mo's words, sighed, immediately looked at Xiao Moran again, and said with a smile: "Xiao Mo, why don't we go to give you Sister Jinyu a cheer next time, and then give her a handwritten handwriting; β€œ

"Okay, the master has a heart, I think Sister "Jinyu" will be very happy after receiving it, and she will naturally slowly improve her attitude towards you. Xiao Moran has always hoped that these two former "playmates" can become more "intimate", at least not to be the hostile person.

I saw Lu Haoxuan sighing softly and not speaking, but his eyes were scattered in the "vast sea of people" outside the car window with the inexplicable emotion.

........

Jiangcheng, the southeast of the "Huanbei" market, here gather all kinds of all kinds of traders, traders.

This is the largest "black market" in Jiangcheng; several "arms smuggling cases" have occurred here; out of consideration for the protection of the rights and interests of legitimate businessmen and the safety of people's lives, the government has repeatedly and strictly ordered the removal of this place. In addition, apart from a few smuggling cases with serious circumstances, there was very little chance of catching a current person who was trading in this area; over time, apart from a few serious smuggling cases, the government did not introduce any new favorable policies for the time being, except for strengthening its strict management over the area.

The autumn "Huanbei" market is a little depressed, and the usual crowded market seems to be a little "unattended" at this time.

A shop in the north corner, the top of the pavilion hangs the plaque of "the first knife in Jiangcheng", the shop is not big, there are some fragmentary blades, knife handles, whetstones and other objects scattered inside; the boss is a somewhat greasy middle-aged bald man, who is "closing his eyes and recuperating", sitting and waiting for the guest to come to the door.

In the autumn afternoon, there was a little coolness, a gust of autumn wind blew, and the middle-aged bald man who felt a little chilly muttered a deep sigh on his lips, stood up and walked to the back room.

When he walked out of the back room, the bald man, who was already dressed a little well, saw two customers coming to the store.

This season, the business was already a little deserted, and finally the two of them came, and the bald boss hurriedly greeted each other with a smile: "Two of you, what do you want?"

One of them, a slender man with a slightly Sven appearance, stepped forward and asked softly, "Boss, are you in the wholesale business?"

The bald man listened and glanced at the burly man in a black leather wallet beside the Sven man, thinking that it was a big list, and then said with a smile: "Do it, you have to do it, what size do you want?

Looking at the bald man's somewhat flattering face, the Sven man took out a silver knife from the black bag he was carrying with him and handed it forward.

The bald man took the knife and weighed it carefully, then slowly put it on the counter in front of the table, was silent for a moment, and sighed and said, "Dare to ask where you got it from? I'm afraid I don't have the good fortune to take this list." ”

Looking at the bald boss who sighed a little, the Sven man seemed to hear that there was another "meaning" in his tone, and hurriedly asked, "Why? I got this knife from a friend who likes to collect weapons, what's the problem?"

The bald man looked at the man with a puzzled face, but did not say a word, but gently put away the knife and returned it to him, and then said: "You guys go, it's better not to do some business that can't be done, and you don't wander around this market, I can guarantee that no one in this area can do this business." ”

The Sven man looked at the bald man's appearance of "wanting to speak and stop", and wanted to come forward to ask for clarification again, but he heard the burly man beside him who had been silent speak: "A few days ago, I just talked to "Cheng Ye", saying that this piece of business has been so cold recently, and it is time to hurry up to raise some rent, otherwise it is not a matter for the brothers to be hungry all day; β€œ

Listening to the burly man mentioning "Chengye", the bald man was suddenly a little stunned, and after a while, the previous somewhat indifferent face instantly recovered into a hippie smiling face like a "changing face" in Sichuan opera.

This brother, oh, big brother, do you still have this relationship with "Cheng Ye"? No wonder, as soon as you entered the house, I knew that you must not be an ordinary person. β€œ

I have to say that the bald man's "face-changing" kung fu and this "sycophant" ability really "complement each other".

The Sven man looked at the bald man's face and silently disdainful it, but the burly man next to him smiled and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, look at you, it's your own family, give you a reminder." Whoever is hungry cannot let his own family go hungry. ”

After speaking, he turned around and secretly glanced at the Sven man beside him, and walked straight out of the store.

Just as he was about to step out of the store, he suddenly heard the bald boss hurrying over, walked up to the two of them, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Two big brothers, I was presumptuous just now; it's just that what you asked is really not easy, and I am afraid that it will lead to a "disaster", so I have not dared to speak out; now I see that the two are also unusual people, so I will point in the direction with you, you can go to the "Ning's antique shop" in the west corner to find a person nicknamed "Old Knife Handle" to ask, maybe you will have some clues. ”

Looking at the bald man's serious eyes and sincere attitude, the burly man knew that he had gotten the answer he wanted, and he held back some excitement in his heart, and then said with a smile: "If you have a heart, you will talk to him about the "Cheng Ye" another day and take care of you as a good student in the future, and help you talk about the rent by the way." ”

Listening to the man's "promise", the bald man hurriedly flattered: "Thank you, thank you big brother, you will be useful to your brother in the future, just open your mouth;

After a bunch of meaty words, the two walked out of the "knife word" store.

On the path in the market, the burly man sighed to the Sven man beside him and said: "In any case, I finally have a clear direction, these days, after listening to Lu Haoxuan's words, I have privately investigated most of the "black market" in Jiangcheng, and there is almost no useful information, and the brothers are tired enough; ”

Listening to the burly man's words, the slightly worried Sven man said slowly: "Team Song, that bald boss doesn't look like a credible and reliable person; ”

"Whether it's true or not, you and I will know it when we see it in the past. ”

The burly man who spoke was none other than Song Qingcang, the captain of the Jiangcheng Detective Team, and the Sven man next to him was his "apprentice" Wang Hao.

The two walked one after another, striding towards the "target" in front of them.
