Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Tide Surges

Although Qin Xiao talked to Donny this time, he never forgot to focus on fishing, and the fish at night would not be as alert as during the day, so as soon as Qin Xiao mentioned the fishing rod, he saw a big fish that couldn't tell what kind of fish was pulled out of the water.

Xu Shaoqing couldn't help but glance back at Qin Xiao and said, "It seems that this fish has not passed the estrus period in winter, and is willing to listen to the dialogue between men and women, rather than come to me as a bachelor." But Qin Xiao, you don't delay chatting and fishing! ”

Qin Xiao laughed twice, continued to release the bait, and prepared to go down the second rod, but at this moment, suddenly Qin Xiao saw a bright light appear by the river in the west, he turned his head to take a look, and saw that it was not anywhere else, it was the light of the medicinal herb acquisition center by the river of Zhang Zhengguo, which was particularly dazzling in the wilderness by the river.

Qin Xiao noticed it, why didn't Tang Ni and Xu Shaoqing notice it? It's just that Xu Shaoqing didn't care much about these changes at all, and still watched every move on the surface of the water intently, while Tang Ni also looked curiously at the medicinal herb acquisition center.

I saw that the light was on for about a minute, and then it was turned off, and Qin Xiao and Tang Ni both fell to the ground in their hearts, but Qin Xiao suddenly noticed that on the writing in the distance, there was a starlight, and a person could be seen coming out of this medicinal herb acquisition center and walking onto the pontoon bridge next to the acquisition center. Qin Xiao is very familiar with this pontoon bridge, he was there when he was a child, and he has been constantly strengthened and updated by Zhang Zhengguo over the years, just to facilitate the farmers who go up the mountain to collect medicine to come back and sell it directly to this medicinal material acquisition center, which also shows the subtlety of Zhang Zhengguo's marketing strategy.

However, there are many farmers who grow some precious herbs in their own yards, but they don't know how to grow herbs, and the quality of herbs here is good precisely because of the good water and soil, so Zhang Zhengguo feels that even the herbs grown by farmers themselves are also high-quality products, so they buy them together. Even when Qin Xiao didn't have pocket money when he was a child, he would go to the mountains to catch scorpions, catch turtles, dig herbs, and then come back and sell them directly to his grandfather. In exchange for pocket money.

However, at this moment, Tang Ni and Qin Xiao both noticed the whereabouts of this person, and this person walked quickly across the pontoon bridge without turning on the flashlight. I went into the woods and disappeared.

Tang Ni was already silent at this time, thinking about this situation, Qin Xiao also noticed Tang Ni's concentration, but he didn't say anything. Rather, he said:

"Donnie, did you say that I caught one first this time, or did Xu Shaoqing catch it first?"

Donnie ignored it, but said, "What do you think this person is going to do, he is going to the mountains on the other side of the river......

Qin Xiao replied, "What are you doing so much?" We all run to the river in the middle of the night to fish, and we are not allowed to go to the mountains at night to breathe in the fresh air! ”

However, Qin Xiao would not believe his nonsense, his heart was already full of doubts, but he couldn't confirm this suspicion one by one, it was really uncomfortable. But he still pretended not to know anything, because he understood. He should be like this, otherwise once it is known that he is paying attention to something, especially Zhang Zhengguo, it may affect the direction of the whole incident.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Qin Xiao and Xu Shaoqing counted their gains one by one, Qin Xiao laughed and said, "How about it, I won this time!" ”

Xu Shaoqing smiled: "You won, so what, it's just luck." ”

Qin Xiao said: "Actually, you still pay too much attention to me. Dante is not entirely right, we should think more about how to follow our own path, and less hollow out to become the focus of others' words. ”

Tang Ni didn't understand what Qin Xiao meant, but Xu Shaoqing did. He knew that Qin Xiao was talking about him, Thailand was concerned about his affairs with Donny, and although he was "going his own way" and didn't care what others said, he was also neglecting to be the focus of others.

So, Xu Shaoqing smiled. With a fishing rod in hand, he went home with Qin Xiao, and Tang Ni didn't stay anymore, so he drove back to the county seat directly.

The next day, Qin Xiao got up very late, so he simply finished washing up slowly, and drove to the county seat to find Luo Chuan without eating, although Old Man Luo asked him not to go to work on time, but if he didn't help Luo Chuan at all, he couldn't be busy, Qin Xiao still couldn't bear it, so he drove to Daixi Pharmaceutical Company.

But on the road, my stomach growled, and there happened to be a breakfast stall selling chaotic tofu brains on the side of the road, and I hadn't tasted tofu brains for a long time, so I parked the car on the side of the road and came out and said to the boss:

"Boss, bring me a bowl of tofu brain, three fried dough sticks, and more chili peppers and leeks!"

The boss responded, Qin Xiao found an empty seat and sat down, and after a while, the fritters were cut and put on a small plate and served with tofu brains, Qin Xiao couldn't help but gobble it up when he smelled the aroma of the leeks.

At this moment, a person suddenly knocked Qin Xiao's shoulder from behind, Qin Xiao turned his head suddenly, and saw that it was none other than Master Wang, who was doing decoration work together back then! Qin Xiao immediately asked Master Wang to sit down as well, and also asked Master Wang for breakfast, and the two ate together.

Master Wang said: "Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao, we all know that you have become the manager of Daixi Pharmaceutical Company, why do you still eat this in the morning?" ”

Qin Xiao smiled: "There's no way, I just can't change this mouthful, I haven't tasted it for so long, come here to eat some, why are you here?" ”

Master Wang said: "Hey, you don't know, we usually don't eat in the morning, but as soon as we get a job, we will eat and work, and this is not another job." ”

Qin Xiao wondered, "Why don't you eat in the morning?" Is business not doing well now? ”

Master Wang smiled and replied: "Where, since you helped us, the benefits have been very good, a few days ago I also tiled a pool by the river in the north, and our brothers worked hard for several days to complete it." ”

When Qin Xiao heard the "pool", he couldn't help but be suspicious, so he asked, "What kind of work is this?" ”

Master Wang replied: "It's a medicinal herb acquisition center on the side of the Daixi River, by the way, it's the place where the death occurred a few days ago, we just finished it at the time, and then someone died, and then I heard that it was an accidental death, and it's a pity......

Qin Xiao was like a treasure and said, "Then tell me, what kind of scene is that pool?" ”

Master Wang said: "The pool is not small, it is the size of a private swimming pool. It's all in the past, what do you ask for? ”

Qin Xiao immediately replied, "Hey, I'm just curious, Master Wang." Tell me what's going on in that pool? ”

Master Wang smiled: "Qin Xiao, you are still so studious, many of our co-workers were not happy when you followed me, but I felt that you were different from others." I like to ask more questions and learn more, and it's still like this, okay, I'll tell you, there are a lot of machinery around this pool, which is used to clean Chinese medicinal materials, and the river can be opened and flowed out below, and what's even more peculiar is that there is an iron gate under the pool......"

Qin Xiao immediately said, "What iron gate?" Did you open it during construction? ”

Master Wang replied, "No, the employer just sued us." It is an iron door that is opened to facilitate the repair of machinery and equipment, so that when the machine is broken, people can go directly from below to repair it. ”

Qin Xiao let out an "oh" and said, "I see...... so he immediately turned around and said:

"Okay, Master Wang, since you have found a job, I will not delay your time, if it is really difficult to work, come to me, and I will find you some work. Package you are satisfied. ”

When Master Wang heard this, he said gratefully: "Okay, with your words, I know that you haven't forgotten us workers." I'll be sure to give them a message. ”

Qin Xiao immediately said: "Don't bring words, don't bother them, come to me when you have something." ”

Master Wang nodded and said, "It's still thoughtful, okay, then I'll go first." ”

Qin Xiao also nodded and saw Master Wang leave. In fact, he didn't want more people to know what information he heard from Master Wang, so he said this. Qin Xiao thought about it, it turned out that Zhang Zhengguo had a dark room in that place, no wonder so many things had happened around a medicinal herb acquisition center recently, and even Americans came to join in the fun, it turned out that the mystery was here. However, this is only Master Wang's words, and if you want to confirm it, you have to think of another way.

After eating, Qin Xiao also drove to the office building of Daixi Pharmaceutical, and when he arrived at the office, he found that YiqiΔ“ was as usual, and there was nothing major, and Luo Chuan was also conveying the latest indicators and specific planning plans to his subordinates, especially the areas that had not been developed, how to cooperate with agents, how much profit to give up, and so on.

Qin Xiao stopped for a while, feeling that there was no problem, so he found a gap and returned to his office to rest, after all, he didn't sleep much at night, and he was very tired. But just when he was sitting on the chair and just closing his eyes, he received a call from Liu Dongsheng, Qin Xiao impatiently picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter, platoon leader?" ”

Liu Dongsheng was over there but whispered, "Where are you?" Is it convenient to speak? ”

Qin Xiao knew that Liu Dongsheng had something important, so he also said solemnly: "Say, just me, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Dongsheng said on the other side of the phone: "I want to discuss something with you immediately, where are you?" I'm going to look for you. ”

Qin Xiao immediately replied: "I'm in the company, you can come directly." ”

Liu Dongsheng immediately said: "Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes, don't leave." With that, the phone hung up.

Qin Xiao knew that Liu Dongsheng didn't give himself any other choice, so he had to wait in the office, and after a while, he heard the secretary report that a police officer was coming to him, so he immediately asked the secretary to let him go, and not long after, Liu Dongsheng entered Qin Xiao's room and said:

"Is it convenient to talk here?"

Qin Xiao said: "Of course it's convenient, this is my office." ”

Liu Dongsheng found a seat and sat down, and continued: "Oh, that's good, I just want to discuss with you what to do next in this case." ”

Qin Xiao couldn't help but wonder, "What else can I do?" You've all closed the case, and there's no room for any progress. ”

Liu Dongsheng poured himself a cup and said, "I know, didn't you also persuade me to close the case like this first, and you are making plans?" I just did what you said, and Sun Ju also agreed to do it, I didn't ask about this person's murder, but how to deal with the conspiracy behind Zhang Zhengguo that you speculated? ”

Qin Xiao let out an "oh" and said, "Just follow what we discussed, and strive to secretly check Zhang Zhengguo's next account, and we will definitely be able to find a breakthrough, especially the fund transfer and the deficit of the accounts that he made under his false name." ”

Liu Dongsheng said: "I know, I just don't know how to deal with it before I came to you." ”

Hearing this, Qin Xiao thought for a moment, but suddenly he was about to say something, but he stopped and said no more. Liu Dongsheng was a little anxious and said:

"Don't be so surprised, I thought you had something to do!"

Qin Xiao immediately said: "No, I'm just the author is uncomfortable, move a little." ”

In fact, Qin Xiao suddenly had a plan in his heart, but he was worried, thinking that this method was also a little inappropriate, so he didn't open his mouth, so he choked back what he wanted to say.

However, Qin Xiao suddenly remembered something and said, "Platoon commander, I want to ask you, do you have any diving equipment there?" ”

Liu Dongsheng said: "No, what are you going to do, do we have any good diving places here?" ”

Qin Xiao said: "No, I suddenly got a news, that is, there is an iron gate on the edge of the cleaning pool of the medicinal herb acquisition center by Zhang Zhengguo's Daixi River, which is said to be used by them to repair the part of the machine hidden below the water surface, I want to go with you to explore the secret, do you dare to go?" ”

Liu Dongsheng immediately became alert and asked, "How did you learn this information?" ”

Qin Xiao then told him how he met Master Wang, and not long ago, before Wen Zhiqiang and Wang Mei died, he had received the decoration work of Zhang Zhengguo's medicinal herb acquisition center, and then found out about the water gate and told Liu Dongsheng, and then Qin Xiao added:

"This matter, you and I can just know it, at most you can sue your director, and others don't sue sΓΉ, I'm afraid that it will be bad for Master Wang. If Zhang Zhengguo knew that this secret had been leaked, he would immediately deduce that the police had asked about Master Wang's decoration team, then their safety would not be considered for the time being, and Zhang Zhengguo would take immediate action to destroy the clues. ”

Liu Dongsheng nodded and said, "You mean to say, we found the diving suit and went to find out?" What's not to dare to do here? ”

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, and go in the middle of the night to die, that is safer, it is now the period when the river is cut off, and the reservoir will not release water, so there is no danger in this regard, but we also have to let Zhang Zhengguo know that the situation suddenly turned on and hanged us inside, so this matter, before we go to explore the secret, you had better not tell your director first, in short, the fewer people who know about this clue, the better." ”

Liu Dongsheng nodded and said: "I understand, you just wait for my news, I will go to a coastal city to rent two sets of wetsuits, and we did this unknowingly." (To be continued.) )
