Chapter III Granary Investigation

In the backyard of the Fugui Grain Station, Liu Qi pointed to a door, "This is the batch of grain stored here." "The key to the grain depot is in Liu Fugui's personal hands, since this batch of grain is military food, it is not trivial, and if something goes wrong, you will lose your head! Liu Fugui didn't feel at ease when he handed over the key to anyone, and even when he went to the thatched house, he carried it closely.

But of course, these can't help Liu Qi, who has been mixing on the road for a long time, and has learned a few tricks, and opening a lock is not a piece of cake.

I don't know where Liu Qi found a thin wire, grabbed the big copper lock, and after tinkering twice, the lock opened with a "click".

Liu Qi pushed the door and wanted to go inside. As soon as the door of another room in the courtyard opened, a middle-aged woman came out, "Liu Qi, what are you doing?" "This woman is wearing a silk dress, and she looks like a boss lady or something.

Gao Quan was nothing, Qian Sixi immediately became nervous, stretched his hand to the back of his waist, and already held the gun handle, Gao Quan quietly waved his hand at him, meaning not to move. He found that Liu Qi was not overly nervous, so he wanted to see how this Liu Qi coped.

"Boss, these are grain merchants from Tanggu, I'll take them to see the quality of the grain, it's okay, you're busy, the boss is out, it's estimated that it's noon when you come back." Liu Qi really lived up to expectations and answered like a stream. The proprietress didn't seem to be interested in the contents of this warehouse at all, and just now she saw a few people at the door and asked casually. After hearing Liu Qi's answer, he stopped expressing his opinion on it, said hello, and went out from the gate.

"The proprietress is going to the card field. Our boss lady just likes to play mahjong and doesn't care about anything else. Liu Qi explained to Gao Quan and the others in a low voice, "Liu Fugui put the matter of his own military rations here, and even the proprietress hid it, except for himself, no one told him." ”

This guy is either afraid that after being known by others, he will scold him for being a Han Jian, or he is afraid that there will be many people with mixed eyes, and there will be accidents with more people who know. This batch of grain is the devil's military food, and if something goes wrong, Liu Fugui can't eat it and walks around.

From the outside, the door is not big, but when you go inside, it is really large. When I entered the warehouse and looked up, I saw that it was black and cold, and I couldn't see the end at a glance, and a smell of wheat came to my face. Liu Qi lit a lamp to illuminate it, and then he saw that there were at least thousands of square meters in the warehouse, and a pile of neatly stacked sacks filled the entire warehouse, almost next to the ceiling. Gao Quan found one at random, and pierced a small hole with a dagger, and what flowed out of it was white rice. The common people in the Beijing-Tianjin area do not eat white rice, bud grain and wheat are the main grains, and the residents are also mainly pasta, and so much rice is stored in areas where the people do not take rice as the staple food.

Gao Quan's general glance shows that the grain here must be more than 100,000 catties! It's also a big transit station for devil rations!

"Let's get out." Now that it has been decided, of course it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it is only right to go out and think of a solution.

"Liu Qi?" As soon as he walked out of the door of the grain depot, a cry of surprise came from the door of the lobby.

Liu Qi looked back, and his face immediately changed. "Shopkeeper." Barely squeezing out a smile, Liu Qi's face had become sallow. Regardless of his boldness, it is not a good thing to be caught by others.

Three people walked in from outside the lobby door, in the middle was a devil officer in an earthy yellow military uniform, on the left was a fat man with a round face, wearing a small round hat on his head, a robe and horse hanging, looking like a shrewd businessman, and on the right was a tall thin man with glasses, who looked a bit like Mr. Bookkeeper. At this moment, the fat man was looking at the few people who came out of the warehouse with a surprised face, as if it was strange that there was no key, how could Liu Qi bring outsiders into his warehouse?

"You, how did you get into the warehouse? Who are you? The fat shopkeeper pointed to Liu Qi and Gao Quan, and asked in surprise. Since Liu Qi calls him the shopkeeper, then this fat man doesn't need to guess, it is Liu Fugui, the owner of the house.

Before Liu Qi could answer, the devil officer asked first: "Liu Sang, is this the warehouse where grain is placed?" ”

"Ah, yes." Liu Fugui's face can't be said to be laughing or crying, I guess I feel a lot of emotion at this time, right?

As soon as the devil heard that this was the place where the military rations were stored, and Gao Quan and the others came out of the warehouse where the grain was kept, it seemed that they still didn't get the permission of Boss Liu, and the devil officer immediately turned his face, "What are you doing?" As he spoke, he was about to reach out his gun from his waist.

The devil will not reason with the Chinese, and the answer is not right in one sentence, but he will really pull out a gun and kill people! Liu Fugui's face immediately turned white, and his body hid to the side. As soon as the gunshots rang out, the devils in the city would immediately surround this place, and Gao Quan hadn't come up with a perfect plan for this batch of grain, how could he be ruined by a devil officer?

"Officer, which part of you are from?" At the critical moment, a fluent Tokyo accent blurted out again, and this dialect has helped him more than once.

Sure enough, the devil officer suddenly heard the familiar words, and the hand that pulled out the gun immediately stopped, and looked at Gao Quan suspiciously, "Are you yourself?" ”

Gao Quan didn't answer his question, but took out the red book from his arms again, this time he didn't put it away in a flash, but held the red book in his hand, and walked over to the devil officer step by step, apparently wanting the other party to check it. The devil officer's doubts disappeared suddenly, of course he recognized such a red book, he himself had one, it was in his jacket pocket, this is the military officer card, and the person who came was also an army officer.

Although I don't know why this military officer is wearing Chinese civilian clothes, since everyone is also an emperor [***] official, of course, even if they are their own people, everything can be discussed. The devil officer completely let down his guard, and at the same time put down the hand that wanted to draw the gun, and walked over to his companion. Now the devil officer doesn't know what rank this plainclothes counterpart is, and if the rank is higher than him, he will hurry up and salute. It is said that the army is highly hierarchical, and when a junior officer meets a superior officer, he must first salute, and before he knows the details of the other party, the officer does not dare to stand in place and wait for the other party to come over, otherwise, it will be easy to be rude. From this point of view, the devils are actually very polite and polite.

The two walked opposite each other and soon came together. Gao Quan did not hand over the red-skinned officer ID card in his hand to the devil officer who came over, but raised his hand and put it in his pocket. The devil officer was stunned at the time, and he had to let himself see it just now, how did he come to him, and this one was put away again?
