Chapter 38: Cai Lao appears
Director Tang continued: "Officer Lu, later, I will lead you to the duty room of the second district, tonight, you will make do there, by the way, this duty room is opposite the antiques of Zangshanzhai." ”
"That's great, it's convenient."
"Director Tang, at night, are the gates of the three districts locked?"
"Yes, but every business owner has a key in their hand."
"They have the key too?"
"Isn't the business owner going to buy goods? There are many people during the day, and it is inconvenient to buy goods, so they usually load the goods after the market closes and before the market opens the next day. ”
"When is the market closed?"
"Close the gate at nine o'clock in the evening."
Lu Qian wrote down the license plate number of the van and got out of the car.
Director Tang led Lu Qian to the second district.
"Xiao Lu, how do you solve your dinner? The canteen of our management center is only open for lunch and is not open in the evening. Director Tang said with concern.
"It's not a problem, I can solve it myself, is there a store selling food around here?"
"Yes, opposite the gate of the third district, there is a pastry shop next to the tea building, steamed buns, buns, flatbreads, noodles, porridge, and soy milk, which are open twelve hours a day."
"Okay, as long as there's a place to eat."
"That's going to make you feel wronged." Director Tang lamented that the work of the criminal police is really not easy.
"Director Tang, don't say that, you have done so much for us, and we haven't thanked you yet. It's a daily routine for us. ”
"There is boiling water in the duty room."
The two of them whispered and walked into the first area, Director Tang looked at his watch, the time was 4:45.
At this time, there was no sign of a decrease in the number of people in the market, and there were people wandering around the shops, and the stalls were also full of people.
The customer looks at the goods, inquires, and bargains, and the seller has a smile on his face and patiently answers the customer's inquiry.
Two people go through the first block and enter the second block.
Director Tang beckoned to a man wearing a red armband.
This person strode up to Director Tang: "Director, what do you command?" ”
"Xiao Deng, this is Xiao Lu, a comrade from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he and another comrade are going to borrow your duty room for a few nights, and you and Xiao Wei should take more care of it. Remember not to make a noise. Director Tang said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, director."
"Do whatever you have to do."
"Understood." The young man understood the director's commands.
To the east of the duty room is a small antique shop in the mountains, and to the west is an antique shop in the four seas.
Lu Qian glanced at the signboards of several antique shops in the surrounding area, and the names of the shops were all strange.
Xiao Deng led Director Tang and Lu Qian into the duty room. There were two folding beds, a table, and two chairs in the duty room, with the table in front of the window and three thermos underneath.
Standing in front of the table, almost all the shops and stalls in the first district can be seen. The duty room is about a meter above the shop, and the windows facing south are in a circular shape.
Xiao Deng continued to patrol the market, and Director Tang and Lu Qian sat on the chairs in front of the table.
Not far from the duty room is Cai Yaohui's Zangshanzhai antique shop, with two floor-to-ceiling tempered glass on both sides of the door, giving you an unobstructed view of the situation in the store.
Some customers came in and out, four guys were busy, and inside the counter sat a man with glasses and a thin face.
The man was about thirty years old, and he had a newspaper in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth.
"Xiao Lu, sitting at the counter reading the newspaper, that person is Cai Lao's brother-in-law, Wei Qiliang. He is actually the second treasurer of Zangshan Zhai. ”
"Director Tang, since there is a Qiliang in Zangshan Zhai to take care of it, why does Cai Yaohui have to come to reconcile the accounts every day?"
"You haven't done business, that's why you ask this, Cai Yaohui is not at ease with his buddy, although they are relatives, he will not be particularly at ease with his brother-in-law."
"It's hard for anyone to reconcile accounts every day. During the day, Wei Qiliang may not be in the store, but at night, he will definitely be in the store. ”
"On the surface, Cai Yaohui is an account for the four guys, but in fact, it is also an account for Qiliang."
"Did the four guys never be on duty in the store?"
"There is a Qiliang in the store, there is no need for men to be on duty, they are here during the day, and they will leave at night."
"When will Cai Yaohui come?"
Director Tang looked up at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, the time was 4:55: "Around five o'clock, Cai Lao will arrive." ”
When the hour and minute hands of the electronic clock reached 5:58, Director Tang patted the back of Lu Qian's hand: "He's here." ”
"Where?"
"Under the torii - he just walked past the torii, wearing a beige suit, a white shirt, a blue tie, and a cigar cigarette in his mouth, and he was the one who talked to two people."
Lu Qian finally saw Cai Yaohui's true face of Lushan.
This person is about 1.74 meters tall, slightly chubby, with a receding hairline, not much hair, but shiny and shiny, and relatively white skin.
Cai Yaohui walked all the way to Zangshan Zhai, and from time to time someone greeted him, he nodded and returned the salute from time to time, with a smile on the corner of his eyes and mouth, it seemed that he was in a good mood!
When Cai Yaohui walked to the door of Zangshan Zhai, Wei Qiliang greeted him from the store.
The two men spoke each other outside the door, and then walked into the store.
A guy walked up to Cai Yaohui with a ledger and calculator with a smile, and Cai Yaohui took the ledger and calculator and walked to the counter.
A guy moved a chair and placed it next to the counter.
Cai Yaohui sat on a chair, lying on the counter, with his back to the door, and Wei Qiliang and his buddy stood on either side.
Cai Yaohui pressed the calculator while talking to his buddy.
Another guy made a cup of tea and put it on the counter.
Cai Yaohui drank tea and reconciled the accounts.
Lu Qian could see at a glance that this Cai Yaohui was very shrewd.
He comes to Zangshanzhai every day to reconcile the accounts, which shows that the business of the store is good, and he can effectively control the business of Zangshanzhai by reconciling the accounts once a day.
At around 5:20, Cai Yaohui straightened his waist and put away the account book.
Cai Yaohui squinted and took a few sips of tea from his teacup, and then stayed in front of each counter for two or three minutes.
Wei Qiliang and a guy gestured from time to time, and Cai Yaohui nodded from time to time - as if he was matching the goods.
At 5:32, Cai Yaohui walked out of the store, and Wei Qiliang and four guys sent him to the door.
In the end, Wei Qiliang followed Cai Yaohui and walked towards the big archway.
Lu Qian quietly walked out of the duty room and followed.
Because there were more people moving around in the trading market, Lu Qian followed more closely, only a dozen steps.
Cai Yaohui and Wei Qiliang walked and said something to each other, Cai Yaohui also gestured with his hand from time to time, and Wei Qiliang nodded from time to time.
Exiting the gate of the first district, the two of them walked straight towards the parking lot.
Lu Qian's arrow was like a fly, quickly flashed past a dozen people, rushed into the parking lot in advance, and got into his jeep.
Sitting in the car, the parking lot is clear at a glance.
This parking lot is small and can accommodate up to a dozen cars.
At the moment, there are only five cars in the parking lot, and there is indeed a Blue Bird brand car parked next to the van of Wei Qiliang.
Cai Yaohui took out the car keys from his pants pocket, opened the door, closed the door, and rolled down the window.
Wei Qiliang leaned his head to the window, and the two talked again.
After a while, Lu Qian heard the sound of starting the car, Wei Qiliang took two steps back, Cai Yaohui rolled up the window, and the car drove out of the parking lot.
After a short pause, Wei Qiliang walked towards the gate of District 1, he was here to see off Cai Yaohui.
According to the orders of Team Zhao and Linghu Yunfei, Wei Qiliang was the focus, and Lu Qian could only continue to stay in the antique trading market.
After watching Wei Qiliang walk into the door, Lu Qian drove to the noodle shop next to the tea shop, bought eight steamed buns, returned the same way, parked the car in the same place, and returned to the duty room.
Director Tang was still waiting for Lu Qian in the duty room.
Director Tang saw the steamed buns that Lu Qian was carrying in his hand: "Xiao Lu, how can you only eat steamed buns?" ”
Director Tang said as he took a teacup, scalded it with boiling water, poured a cup of water and put it in front of Lu Qian.
"Director Tang, thank you, get busy with your go!" Lu Qian nodded in gratitude.
"I'm fine."
"It's time for you to get off work!"
"We don't leave work until nine o'clock."
"Oh, then you can go back to the office, one of my colleague ponies will come to your office to find me later, please bring him here."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
"Director Tang, when will the door close here?"
"At nine o'clock, the market closes. Don't worry, I'll drop you the key before nine o'clock, and the shops here have keys to the gates. ”
Director Tang understood what Lu Qian meant, and if he couldn't get out of the gate, Lu Qian wouldn't be able to track Wei Qiliang.
Director Tang walked out of the duty room and walked towards the west gate of District 1.
Lu Qian looked at the electronic clock on the wall and his watch, the time was around 5:50, and the electronic clock was less than a minute slower.
Lu Qian drank a few sips of water, took out two steamed buns that were still a little steamy and ate them.
In Director Tang's opinion, the errand of the criminal police is really hard, and in Lu Qian's opinion, it is nothing.
He grew up in southern Xinjiang and lived a hard life with his parents for a while.
For him, if he can eat a full stomach, he can't complain.
In southern Xinjiang, his family's staple food is naan cakes, and compared with naan cakes, steamed bread is not known how many times better it tastes.
In the letter, his father repeatedly warned him that he must endure more hardships, work harder, and cherish the opportunity of this internship.
It is his eternal pride that his son can engage in the profession of criminal police and stay in the criminal investigation team of the Jingxi Public Security Bureau.
When Ma Jianping came, Lu Qian didn't know, but he took Ma Jianping into account when he bought steamed buns.
When Lu Qian was eating steamed buns and drinking boiling water in the duty room of the second district of the Hukoumen Antique Trading Market, Ma Jianping was sitting in the Red Maple Coffee Shop, waiting for the arrival of Xu Xiaolan and Teacher Qi restlessly.
