Chapter 156: Hidden Treasure (4)
According to the news from the inquiry, the two found Li Tiedan's shop, whose name was "Wanjin Pavilion Antiques". But the bronze door of the antique shop was locked, and no one answered the knock. Liu Li thought to herself, if this matter was related to the treasure, it was also an indispensable responsibility of the imperial thief family.
"There's something wrong with this Li Tiedan." Liu Li knew that today was a trip for nothing, and was about to go home, when Hou Yi suddenly made a discovery.
There are a few red footprints on the ground, and the direction is towards the antique store. Crouching down to observe, the two of them determined that it was not blood, but red paint. Although it didn't look very elegant, Liu Li still lay on the ground and took a hard breath, he confirmed that this was not a red pigment made by the local method, but a high-grade architectural paint synthesized using a special technology from the West.
If you don't say that people are students who have stayed abroad, you just smell it and you have a spectrum in your heart: this grade of paint may not even be bought in the huge Liu Mansion, so there are only a few households in the entire Hanjing City that can use it.
"If there are only a few footprints, this person should have taken a rickshaw, got off from here, and went inside." Liu Li said: "There is a lot of dust on it, and it doesn't look like it was left today." It should have been two or three days ago...... Just find out which house has recently used red paint to find clues. I went back to my house to find out what I had brought back from abroad, and to find out what exactly this pigment was used for, and who would use it. As far as I know, this kind of high-grade pigment that can't even be washed away by rain may not be able to be bought at a high cost. ”
"Then I'll go find leather shoes and inquire, and go our separate ways." Hou Yi looked at the sun in the sky, heard the sound of guns and cannons in the south, and couldn't help but sigh for the people's poor life.
……
In the southern part of Hanjing City, a car was driving on a bumpy road, and the sound of rubble colliding and rustling could be faintly heard. Hao Yingxin had no intention of watching the beautiful scenery outside the window, only occasionally glanced at the startled birds, urging the driver to speed up.
"Young master, this is the fastest speed."
Three years ago, because of an arranged marriage, Hao Yingxin and his father quarreled, and then rushed from Hanjing to Qincheng by train, and went to his cousin who opened a trading house. Not long ago, he received a telegram and learned that the eldest brother in the family was critically ill, so he immediately took care of the affairs over there and hurriedly rushed back, in fact, this was an excuse for the master of the Hao family to trick him into coming back to serve as the head of the security regiment, Hao Yingxin had already seen it, because he had other purposes for returning to Hanjing this time. But no one expected that at this time, the train track had just been destroyed by bandits, and the Jinpu Railway was temporarily suspended. So the Hao family sent a driver, Wang Yanbin, to pick him up, and drove back to Hanjing overnight.
When it comes to the Hao family, people will think of the famous Chashan Antique Chamber of Commerce. However, Hao Yingxin himself seems to be more famous, because he once scattered his daughters in the Drunken Flower Building and monopolized the Oiran, so that Su Randong's subordinates were not hit. This heroic and generous young master is one of the four beautiful men in Hanjing City. The other three are: Chao Jiji, the only male teacher of the women's normal school, Fan Xiaohua, the pillar of the police station who has better marksmanship than brains, and the last one is the well-known opera genius Hou Boss.
In fact, Liu Li's appearance is not very bad, but he disguises himself too much like an ordinary young master, and few people pay attention to his existence, so naturally he can't be rated as a beautiful man.
Although Hao Yingxin is a playboy and a gentleman, although he is not very humble, he is still affectionate. Thinking of his former friends, lovers, and family, he couldn't help but sigh, but he was sighing, and with a sudden brake, Hao Yingxin's head hit the car glass. Fortunately, the speed of the car is slow, otherwise the small life will be lost.
Hao Yingxin hissed, and then reprimanded Wang Yanbin.
Wang Yanbin's face was full of shock, and he pointed forward. In the middle of the road, there was a person walking sideways, and if he hadn't braked in advance, he would have run over this person.
Hao Yingxin looked up and saw that a man in his 30s was lying in the middle of the road, as if he had been shot.
In these days, most of the people who were shot would not be ordinary people. "Let's not care, people with guns can't afford to offend. In addition to suppressing bandits, Commander-in-Chief Su is suppressing students, who knows what kind of master is lying on ......the ground" Wang Yanbin advised Hao Yingxin to leave this person alone, in today's world, Mingzhe protects himself and meddles in his affairs.
"No matter what his identity is, it matters to save people." Hao Yingxin took a closer look. It was confirmed that the person was not dead, but was unconscious.
"Open the rear door and lift him inside."
Wang Yanbin was hesitant and unwilling to do this. Isn't it a hassle to save an unidentified person home!
"There is not enough medical equipment here, bring him back first, at least take out the bullet first." Hao Yingxin glared at him: "Hurry!"
"Young master, I'm ...... I remember! Wang Yanbin couldn't believe it: "Isn't he just on the notices posted on the streets and alleys, the bandit leader is one million!" ”
Seeing Wang Yanbin's nervous and anxious appearance, he picked up Gao Yuan and carried it to the car. "What are you still doing! Drive! ”
Soon several military cars also drove over, and an officer stepped out of the car. "What's the use of you bunch of waste, you can't catch up with two legs in a car!" This person's name is Jia Yan, and his unit is subordinate to the Hanjing Bandit Suppression Command, and he is Su Randong's subordinate.
"Boss...... In fact, it's not that we are slow, it's because we are not familiar with the roads here, and there are ...... "The bandit suppression headquarters was established temporarily, and most of the people in it are ruffians and don't have much real skills."
Jia Yan turned around and slapped him: "Can you still run away if you are shot?" I don't believe it! Jia Yan's eyes were blazing, he looked around, and finally he found a flaw, the blood disappeared in one place, and there were marks of a car, "I said that it was impossible for this high million to fly with wings, and it was really rescued by someone." Get me in the car and chase! ”
……
The little leather shoes chatted with Hou Yi while polishing their shoes.
"Western red paint, that's really rare, isn't Liuliyuan doing business with foreigners? Can you check the foreign goods they are dealing with? ”
"In terms of business, I'm afraid I don't have the right to investigate."
Sitting on the side of the road, there are occasionally a few people who greet them. While talking, a car drove by, splashing Hou Yi and the little leather shoes with dirty water.
The little leather shoes scolded, and Hou Yi hurriedly stopped it, this may not be the car of the official's family.
"I don't mind, I can't afford to stain Boss Hou's clothes. I'll find some paper for you to wipe it in. ”
The two hurriedly found paper and wiped it, and before the anger was gone, another car passed by, and the old water of the two people was not dry, and new water was added. The little leather shoes just wanted to scold, but was stopped by Hou Yi again.
