9 Shopping and investigation
"I remember it was a civet cat."
After feeding the animals in the cage, He Biao walked upstairs and muttered to himself, it had been a day, and he still hadn't figured it out.
Dragging his load-bearing steps into the toilet, he stood in front of the washbasin and looked in the mirror, in which was a tired and haggard face, and suddenly, he saw a civet cat in the corner of the mirror, and the civet cat was still winking at him.
He hurriedly turned around.
No civet cats, nothing.
"Am I having a nervous breakdown? Or is there something dirty? The civet cat is considered a type of civet cat, right? I've heard that this thing is very weird, and when you die, you might turn into a ghost. He Biao couldn't help but shudder.
When he turned around, he saw a civet cat standing in front of the mirror, staring at him with large, round eyes, and there seemed to be two swirls in the dark pupils......
The next moment he lost consciousness.
"That's it." The civet cat made an OK gesture.
Jiang Ning turned out from behind the door: "Hurry up and ask." β
"Well, well, no sense of humor at all." The civet cat shrugged its shoulders, and it turned to face He Biao: "Where did those animals come from?" β
"I don't know." He Biao lengthened his voice, as if he was in a dream.
"Who knows?"
"I don't know." It's the same answer I just had.
"And who sent it?" The civet cats are a little crazy.
Fortunately, this time there was an answer: "It's Brother Zhuang." β
"What's your full name?"
"I don't know." He Biao began to ask questions again.
"Where can I find him?" The civet cat was very helpless, it suddenly felt that even if there was no Jiang Ning, it could escape, this guy was too stupid.
"3rd Floor, No. 12, Lane 376, Tianjin Road." He Biao actually knew this time.
"Ask him, what is that place?" Jiang Ning interjected.
"What's that?" The civet cat hurriedly asked.
"His house."
"Is there anyone else in there?" Jiang Ning simply asked directly, he didn't know if this would work?
"There's another woman, it's his concubine." He Biao actually answered, and there was a hint of obscenity on his face.
"Alright, let's go." Jiang Ning turned around and walked out of the toilet, the smell inside was too bad.
"What's next? Looking for the past? The civet cat asked.
"Now the person surnamed Zhuang may not be at home, wait until the evening, I have to go to class." Jiang Ning walked very fast.
Classes are always in place, and although the university he attends is very loosely controlled, skipping classes all day long will still leave a bad impression on the professors who teach, and if they are in a bad mood, they may have to hang up on the final exam.
The second class in the afternoon was another big class, the whole department went together, Jiang Ning went to the lecture hall early, found a place in the most inconspicuous place in the middle and sat down, after a while Lao Dai came in, he sat next to him, and asked casually: "Look at you listless, what's wrong?" β
Jiang Ning didn't even know what he was thinking? So many things happened yesterday, the whole Sanguan collapsed, and he couldn't even count as a person, and at the moment his mind was a mess, but he couldn't say it, even if he said it, Lao Dai wouldn't believe it, so after hesitating for a moment, he replied lazily: "I'm investigating something." β
Lao Dai misunderstood: "What? Are you going to fight back? I've said a long time ago, don't be polite to that birdman. He looked excited, as if it was his business: "Do you want a miniature camera?" Last time you got a random camera, it was still connected to the computer, how could this not be discovered, that guy was very thief. β
"Miniature camera?" Jiang Ning's eyes lit up suddenly.
Why didn't he think of it?
The road on the magic side doesn't work, he can choose the technology side, isn't there such a sentence? The saying that the poor rely on mutation and the rich rely on technology is valid in the Marvel world, and it should be useful here as well. If you take the scientific and technological route, the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering has a unique advantage.
"Where did you get the miniature camera? Don't tell me it's a treasure. "He came interested.
"That's why I told you to work less, join a club, and make more friends, otherwise you will be out of touch with society." Lao Dai shook his head and sighed.
"What about you?" Jiang Ning urged.
"It's in the circle of the university, the main force is a group of juniors, what miniature cameras, wireless image transmission, drones, multicopters, robots, a lot of things, more derivations, bugs, ultrasonic radars, GPS positioning beacons. Of course, if you want to say that these are toys, many detective agencies use them anyway. Lao Dai explained.
It turned out to be this, Jiang Ning had heard of it before, in his opinion, it was the level of toys, high-tech toys, but it was indeed usable, at least not much worse than the professional spy equipment in the eighties.
"Someone in our school also plays this?".
"Nope." Lao Dai shook his head: "Our third-rate university doesn't have that ability, it's all a group of people from X University, University of Science and Technology, and University of Science and Technology, and I'll give you a website." As he spoke, he pulled out his phone.
The website is designed to be very simple, and at first glance you can tell that it is from an engineering student, and there is no bells and whistles.
Jiang Ning first browsed through the items, and then clicked on the list of items.
There are indeed a lot of things in it, more than a dozen categories, thousands of things, which is dazzling.
Jiang Ning flipped it and thought thoughtfully.
For him, many of these things can come in handy, and even more useful when taken apart, such as the ultrasonic radar, with his hearing, he doesn't need the ultrasonic receiving part at all, as long as there is a transmitter, but the filter is more useful. The biggest problem with his ears is that they are too sensitive, they can hear too many sounds, and the useful signals are drowned out in a large number of useless signals, but with this filter that can adjust the frequency, he can extract the useful parts of the sound.
Good stuff, really good stuff, but when he saw the price, it was immediately not good.
Don't forget that he was poor, and he had to work three jobs for a rent of 15,000, and the price of these high-tech toys was not cheap.
Fortunately, he was not a month and a half ago, Jiang Ning picked up his mobile phone and dialed out.
"Brother Gou."
"What's the matter? I'm busy. "In addition to the roar on the other side, there is also the electronic sound of the game, which seems to be a recently popular online game, the kind of special kimchi.
"I want to borrow some money." Jiang Ning made a long story short, he didn't want to disturb others playing games.
"How much?" Gou Desheng is also refreshing.
"One hundred thousand." Jiang Ning gritted his teeth, to be honest, he hadn't had so much money in his life.
"One percent interest."
"Every year?"
"If you want to count it on a monthly basis, that's fine." There was a burst of laughter.
"I borrowed it." Jiang Ning made up his mind.
"Are you crazy?" The face of Lao Dai next to him changed.
"Don't worry, I have a way to make money."
"Robbing a bank?" Lao Dai didn't believe it at all.
"I took a few photos and sold them to the magazine, which is the photos of so-and-so from the obstetrics and gynecology hospital, 1,000 each." Jiang Ning deliberately pretended to be proud, in fact, he didn't care about this money for a long time now.
"So earned?" Old Dai opened his mouth wide, which made him look even more old-fashioned, and then he suddenly said, "So you want the miniature camera to do this, I thought you were going to take revenge on that birdman." β
"Surely there will be revenge." Jiang Ning originally didn't expect that he would be mentioned by Lao Dai three times and twice, and he also had some ideas in his heart.
The so-called half-demon, neither a human, nor a demon, between man and demon, if you are happy to enmity and enmity, live a chic life, it can be called a demon, if you cower and live depressed, that is a demon, this is still a choice?
Of course, the premise of everything is to borrow money.
However, before that, he still has to go to No. 12, Lane 376, Tianjin Road, to find that Brother Zhuang, I hope that guy knows where the civet cat was caught?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and look at it.
It's only half past five, and I hope that Brother Zhuang is a good man and can go home before eight o'clock.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The night was dark, there was silence all around, and it was already eleven o'clock.
Brother Zhuang only returned home half an hour ago, but fortunately, this trip was not in vain, and the matter was finally clarified.
Jiang Ning dragged his tired body home, he carried a scooter in one hand and a plastic bag containing civets in the other, the civet cats were already asleep, otherwise it would not have been so quiet.
He didn't go back to his house first, but knocked on the door of 302, he didn't want to wait until tomorrow to come back, and he also looked at Gou Desheng sleepy, and in his sleepy eyes, he waived the interest.
It's a pity that he was disappointed again, Gou Desheng didn't sleep, this guy was still playing games.
Jiang Ning entered Gou Desheng's home for the first time.
According to his original guess, it should be a veritable kennel, which must be more chaotic than Sister Cat's house, so when he entered, he immediately had a feeling of disbelief.
It's just the opposite of Sister Mao's house, there are a lot of things in this veritable kennel, there are a few awards next to a yellow-haired old calligraphy and painting on the wall, and a long knife is hanging at the bottom, which feels like it should be a real guy, opposite is a pictorial from the Cultural Revolution, and there is a signed poster of Ruan Lingyu behind the door, and in the middle is a mahogany table of eight immortals, on which are placed enamel bowls and enamel tea jars with slogans, and they are printed with "Celebrate the completion of the victory oil field". A chest of drawers from the Republic of China was placed in the corner of the wall, full of things, there was a broken and old white red turban, a purple clay pot that looked like the vicissitudes of time, a pair of finely made cloisonnΓ© vases, and an old-fashioned black-and-white TV with knobs and FM, but what surprised him the most was an old-fashioned transmitter, which can only be seen in movies and television.
Although there are many of these things, they are neatly arranged and arranged in a staggered manner.
"You've used all of these?" Jiang Ning asked, how did he look at it, he didn't think Gou Desheng looked like a collector.
"This is my hobby, every once in a while, I will change an identity, Dao Guangnian I am a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, Xianfeng Nian I joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, after Tongzhi I went to the United States, dug gold mines, built railways, at that time mixed with Hongmen, Guangxu returned to Shanghai in three years, followed Ma Yongzhen, did Du Yuesheng's follower during the Republic of China, after the liberation can not go down, worked as an oil worker in the Shengli Oilfield, worked as a rebel during the Cultural Revolution, became a self-employed person in the eighties, and went to steel when the Soviet Union collapsed, got the approval, became a city manager in 02, and in recent years, he has been fooling around. Gordon recounted his experience.
Jiang Ning was really speechless, such a colorful life made him envious.
"What about the others? Is it so colorful? He couldn't help but ask again.
"That's not necessarily, everyone has their own way of living, Zhu Shilu has always opened a restaurant, She Manjing has been fishing for Kaizi, Ma Jiahua has always been a little white face, Niu Shouyi has always been a living by transporting goods, it used to be called a foot line, now it is called a transportation company, these guys are the other extreme, only one line, and the others are between me and them."
"One thing is for sure, you don't care about money." Jiang Ning muttered, his eyes were fixed on the mahogany Eight Immortals Table and the Republic of China Chest of Drawers, these two things are worth hundreds of thousands, not to mention the pair of cloisonne, if you can't get it, it's one or two million.
"That's true, but don't expect to borrow money and not pay it back." Gou Desheng bared his teeth.
"I didn't think about paying the bills." Jiang Ning muttered again, and then remembered another reason why he came here: "By the way, that matter has been clarified, all the wild animals come from a place called Le Shi, and now the scope is much narrower, it should be easy to find." β
Gou Desheng took out his mobile phone, searched on it, and then nodded and said, "It's close, it's in the next province." β
"Okay, it's nothing for me to do now." Jiang Ning yawned.
"What's your business? Come with me on Saturday, and don't forget, you're the one in charge of the investigation, and I'm just here to help. Gou Desheng said angrily.
"Wouldn't it? Do you have to keep looking? Jiang Ning let out a wail.
