Boss Li smoked a cigarette for a long time, took the purple clay pot on the kang table and drank two sips of tea, and then choked on pine nut candy, and then said: "Originally, there was none, but since yesterday afternoon, my colleagues have received a message from the authorities: temporarily confiscate this medicine, and you can get it back in three days." Because everyone knows that I don't do this business, just ask me and I'll pass the test. Such a big movement will not be without reason, so a junior brother who is helping asked me to collect a few boxes for him, and I agreed. How? Mr. Chen, do you need this medicine? ”

"Mr. Li's threshold is really fine, yes, I want two boxes, let's make a price." Someone collects it, someone needs it urgently, Boss Li is taking the risk to hide a few boxes, he didn't ask for him and there was no loss, in case someone wants to take advantage of the fire to rob.

"Two little scalpers in a box."

Chen Ming was taken aback and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, you have increased the price twenty times at once, which is too ...... Can you give me a face and quote a real price. These words are the words that have to be said, in fact, Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he made the worst plan: Boss Li has no goods here, and he has no time to look around, so he has to kidnap Boss Li and force his disciples and grandchildren to come forward to look for him.

Boss Li said with a meaningful smile: "Is there a black market, go with the market, the authorities confiscate it, but Mr. Chen is in a hurry to find this medicine, the risk is ...... In our business, I don't ask about your identity, and you don't dislike the price I offer. ”

Chen Ming pleaded: "Come to Japan, Mr. Li Da will give me a face, I don't have enough money, a small scalper, sell me a box." ”

Boss Li laughed: "That's it, every time I trade Mr. Chen, I come and go in a hurry, I want to make you a friend, I have no chance, this time I will keep you for three days, and I will send you two boxes after three days." ”

Chen Ming secretly hated in his heart: Take advantage of the fire to rob, and wait for me to free up my hands and clean you up! But his face did not show any light, and said: "Three days? Mr. Li Da joked, I also have a heart close, helpless...... In this way, according to your price, Boss Li loves and wants to make friends with Zaixia, Chen is flattered, what are the ready-made and not too pretty goods in Brother Li's hands? Can you give me some? ”

The rules of running the rivers and lakes, you can't do things perfectly, Li Lao laughed and said: "It's good to say, business is business, friendship is friendship, I happen to have a box of Chinese patent medicine, the buyer has changed the hexagram, I have already received a deposit, the loss is not much, you don't dislike it, just take it." Mr. Chen has to take care of himself, and I won't keep you. ”

Chen Ming couldn't help but feel distressed, took out four gold bars and put them on the kang table, Boss Li got up from the couch, leaned over and pressed a piece of floor, pushed hard, took out two boxes of dimercaptopropanol from a dark compartment, and pointed to a small cardboard box in the corner of the wall and said, "Do you want me to find someone to move out for Mr. Chen?" ”

Chen Ming smiled: "No need, Brother Li stays and comes back to disturb later." Chen Ming, who was carrying a cardboard box, walked to the door of the hotel and saw a discarded red paper on the ground, so he picked it up.

As time went by, Zhang Chi, who was waiting outside the operating room, became more and more anxious, and at five o'clock, Cui Feng came over and reported: "Deputy Director Zhang, Team Leader Feng's call back came, saying that he not only sent people to the black market to find it, but also sent people to two hospitals, one of which met a middle-aged woman who committed suicide by taking poison for family trivialities in the outpatient hall of one of the hospitals, the doctor said that it was arsenic poisoning, but there was no special antidote in the hospital, so he could only lavage the stomach, and as a result, the patient died, and the family cried and died, and they wanted to settle accounts with the hospital, but they were arrested by several plainclothes. When the people we sent saw this, they did not dare to act rashly. Team leader Feng said in a telegram that he speculated that other hospitals in Shanghai and Nanjing with special drugs were also monitored, so he gave up. Several batches of people who went to the black market also did not get anything. ”

Zhang Chi's heart tightened, but he could only reply: "I know, he did the right thing." ”

Dr. Qiu came over and said, "Captain Sun has not recovered, and this emergency has caused a high fever, and I am worried that postoperative complications will kill him, and there are no anti-inflammatory drugs in the hospital, so I can only physically cool down." ”

Zhang Chi sighed and asked, "Doctor Qiu, Ge Jiapeng and Lin Shirong are not out of danger yet, can you go back to the operating room...... I know I've tired you today. ”

"It's okay for me to work hard, but there is an antidote, whether I am there or not, it doesn't hurt; There is no antidote, Hua Tuo is reincarnated, and it is ...... By the way, I propose to transfer Commissioner Liu, who is still in a coma, to the ward, and when he wakes up, if he learns that Team Leader Ge and they died because of all the antidote left for him, this blow, I estimate ......."

"Thanks to your reminder, Zezhi is a person who suffers from gains and losses, and always likes to carry some responsibilities that have nothing to do with him on his back, and he blames himself deeply. Cui Feng, you assisted Dr. Qiu in transferring Commissioner Liu to the ward, and when he woke up, you looked at him and didn't let him hear anything that was not good for his recovery. ”

Cui Feng agreed to enter the operating room with Dr. Qiu, Zhang Chi walked to the end of the corridor, looking at the sunset in the west, full of thoughts: Did you really give up Wushun and Ji Gang like this? Will Ge Jiapeng and Lin Shirong still have a chance to be treated? Chen Ming, the only hope, can he get an antidote? Who exactly is the murderer?

On the way, seeing Chen Ming driving unhurriedly, Xiao Kong, who was eager to fly back with wings, couldn't help but urge: "Mr. Chen, can you drive faster?" It's almost six o'clock! ”

"I'm still in enemy-occupied territory, and I'm worried about being noticed. Keep calm. ”

Xiao Kong couldn't sit still, and said to Wang Geng in the back row: "I don't know if the medicine is enough?" What's in that box? ”

Chen Ming nodded: "What's the matter?" Can't you two just sit back and watch for me behind and on both sides for any suspicious movements? In any training class of the military command, if the instructor sees this, will he still have your good fruit to eat? If you're in a hurry, you might just do it! ”

Xiao Kong and Wang Geng could only sit patiently. Chen Ming said again: "Xiao Kong, have you seen that red paper?" Tear it to shreds. ”

Although Xiao Kong was puzzled, he still did as he was told.

At a quarter past six, the car drove three kilometers away from the junction of the occupied areas of the two sides, and Chen Ming said: "Xiaokong, do you see the big locust tree in front?" You take a box of medicines, get out of the car there, take the only pass in the car, try to get through the checkpoint yourself, and I'll teach you: you can disguise yourself as a businessman who buys and sells back and forth for profit. If we make it through, we'll drop a handful of confetti on the side of the road two kilometers away from our occupation zone, and there's no need to rush back when you see it. If you don't see it, no matter what you think, even if it's a gun and a car, rush back to the military hospital as quickly as possible. ”

Xiao Kong asked, "I took the pass, what should you do?" If you are in a hurry to leave, you should just find a few more documents. Xiao Kong is very worried: when he came, in order to avoid the checkpoint, he made a big circle, and when he came back, it was too late to detour, not to mention that at night, the day puppet would strengthen patrols, and when he came, he avoided it, which did not mean that he could avoid it smoothly when he went back. In addition to special permits, Japanese puppet checkpoints may not be able to release vehicles with ordinary documents, but they are even more unlikely to be released without documents, and may be impounded because they are unknown.

"Where is all this nonsense? I have my own arrangements. Looking for more? Only the photo on this ID has a few resemblance to yours. ”

Xiao Kong didn't dare to ask more, and got out of the car with a box of medicine and a pass.

Chen Ming explained a few words to Wang Geng while driving.

At half past six o'clock, as twilight fell, the truck drove to the checkpoint set up by the puppet army, Chen Ming slowed down, rolled down the window, and gestured with an empty leather of documents in his hand.

There were four puppet soldiers at the checkpoint, one of whom was checking the documents of several vegetable vendors, and the other two were on guard with guns, and one came up to him and said: "All people in the vehicle must get out of the car and be checked." ”

Although both sides had to agree that the residents of the occupied areas could pass, they both put in place strict management measures, and drugs ranked second on the list of contraband in the Japanese theater after arms. Regardless of whether there is a pass or not, the entrainment of medicines, once found, will be seized on the spot.

Chen Ming smiled all over his face, took back his documents, and seemed to open the door and get out of the car.

The soldier's hand to take the certificate failed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Give me the certificate first, pull over, and then get out of the car for inspection, and I don't have any eyesight." ”

Chen Ming smiled: "Look at me, I'm confused, the chief has worked hard, here you are." ”

The soldier reached out to take it, and Chen Ming started the car, as if preparing to pull over.

The soldier opened his ID and looked: How is it an empty skin? Without waiting for him to ask, as soon as Chen Ming stepped on the accelerator, the truck swooped out and broke the crossbar! Wang Geng, who was sitting in the back row, spoke at the same time with the gun in his hand, and knocked down the soldier who was inspecting with one shot!

The other three puppet soldiers were all stunned for a moment before they reacted: someone rushed through the pass with arms!

Chen Ming shot backwards while driving, and hit another soldier! Wang Geng aimed at the tin room at the checkpoint and threw a grenade, blowing up the communication equipment in the house. Several pedestrians who had been inspected screamed and fled in all directions.

The remaining two soldiers shot back! Bullets hit the compartment of the enclosed wagon, and sparks flew everywhere! Chen Ming poked his head out, and with another shot, another soldier at the checkpoint who was about to shoot the tires of the truck was shot and fell, but the last soldier hit Chen Ming's left arm that poked out of the car!

The truck is speeding away! After driving two or three kilometers, Wang Geng, who was relieved, scattered the confetti, only to find that Chen Ming's face was pale, and blood had soaked through his gray coat and dripped down his arm.

Chen Ming asked, "Xiao Wang, do you know how to drive?" ”

"No, Mr. Chen, are you alright? Parking is a must. ”

Chen Mingqiang drove the car to a wasteland and said: "Xiao Wang, when I came, I got a first-aid kit from the hospital, and in the carriage, you bandaged it for me, and the bones seemed to be broken - what are you crying about?" Unpromising! I can't die. ”

Wang Geng's hands were bandaged tremblingly, and he said with a crying voice: "The bullet is still inside, there is a lot of blood, what should I do?" It's all because I'm not good, I've wanted to learn to drive for a long time, and I haven't had the chance...... I'd rather I'd be injured, I'd be killed, and I'll be fine, but you'......"

Chen Ming endured the severe pain, helped with his right hand, and squeezed out a smile to comfort: "Silly boy, I'm fine, I drove with my right hand...... When I get back, I'll teach you how to drive - okay, so you can make do with driving back. There are still more than ten minutes until seven o'clock, and no matter how soon it will be delayed, I don't know if Team Leader Ge can hold on. ”
