Chapter 364: Story
Bai Hong rang the doorbell, and the door of the Tan family slowly opened.
The housekeeper Lao Song saw that it was Zhang Siye, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Fourth Master, please." β
Zhang Siye took Mo Yanfei's hand and walked into the courtyard.
Steward Song led them through the hanging flower gate, turned the stone shadow wall carved with wealth and wealth, and came to the door of the main house.
Tan Wenqing heard the voice and greeted him, "Fourth master, I can look forward to you." β
"Ninth Master!" Zhang Siye hugged his fists, "There is something at home, and it is delayed." β
"Fourth master, please." Tan Wenqing said and let Zhang Siye go in.
A few people walked into the house. The two people sitting in the room hurriedly stood up when they saw them come in.
Tan Wenqing introduced: "Fourth master, this is Cai Jiaming, Sheriff Cai of the Lushun Police Department. β
"Sheriff Cai, this is our young and promising Fourth Master Zhang in Fengcheng. The one next to him is his fiancΓ©e Mo Yanfei. β
Mo Yanfei's face turned red. When she entered the hospital, Tan Jiuye ignored her, she thought that she was just a foil, and it didn't matter if she didn't get into Tan Jiuye's eyes.
But Tan Jiuye introduced himself to this Sheriff Cai like this, and Mo Yanfei began to think about what Tan Jiuye's idea was.
She smiled shyly: "Hello Sheriff Cai." β
After a few people sat down, Tan Wenqing said: "Fourth master, I invited you and Xiao Fei here today to ask you to do me a favor." β
Tan Wenqing pointed to the middle-aged man sitting on the side, "He is my shopkeeper Gao Yang in Lushun Commercial Bank." β
Mo Yanfei smiled at the shopkeeper Gao, she saw that the shopkeeper Gao was a little restrained, and immediately understood that it was the shopkeeper Gao's goods that were lost.
Tan Wenqing said: "Let's not waste time. Shopkeeper Gao, tell the fourth master and Xiao Fei what happened. β
The shopkeeper nodded and replied, "Yes." Then he told the story in an orderly manner.
It turned out that Tan Jiuye bought a batch of goods from Germany, the most valuable of which was three boxes of silverware.
After the cargo ship arrives at the port, the cargo is unloaded in the port terminal warehouse. When the high shopkeeper counted, the number of boxes matched, and everything was normal for loading and pickup.
On the way to Tan Jishang, the four carriages had an accident.
A horse was frightened, and the convoy was thrown into disarray. The carriage pulling the silverware box rushed out uncontrollably and fell into the cliff on the side of the road.
Fortunately, the coachman and the chauffeur were clever and jumped out of the carriage early, only slightly injured.
After controlling the other carriages, the shopkeeper Gao sent the injured person to the hospital. Later, they sent people to look for the carriage under the cliff, but found that there was a beach under the cliff, and the two horses and the goods on the cart fell into the sea.
Shopkeeper Gao was short of manpower at that time, so he had to leave one man to guard the local area, and then organize the other men to transport the goods on the other three carriages back to the trading house.
By the time they returned in the wagon, it was getting late. The tall shopkeeper was at the bottom of the cliff but didn't find the guy.
The broken carriage frame was also gone, and the shopkeeper Gao thought that he had remembered the wrong place, and several guys searched left and right along the shore, but they didn't find the guy Sun Chen who was guarding here.
Shopkeeper Gao immediately sent someone to notify the police, and when Sergeant Cai arrived with his personnel, it was already dark.
Everyone held torches and searched for a long time under the cliff before they found Sun Chen, the guy who stayed behind at the mouth of a cave.
His hands and feet were firmly tied with ropes, and his mouth was stuffed with an old towel, and he was exhausted and dying.
When his hands and feet were released, he could no longer move. After feeding him a large sip of liquor, he slowly came to his senses.
Sun Chen said that he was sitting on the shore and saw a few dock workers coming over, but he didn't care.
But when they got closer, they looked at the broken carriage racks on the shore.
Curiously asked what was going on, Sun Chen explained that the carriage had fallen into the sea and was waiting for the shopkeeper to send someone to fish the horse out.
The four of them laughed at him at first, what was the use of fishing out a dead horse. One of them suddenly asked, "What is the wagon pulling?" β
Sun Chen had a heart, and only said that it was the porcelain that was pulled, and it was all over now.
The dock worker sneered and said, "Are dead horses and broken porcelain worth waiting here for someone to fish?" β
When the other three workers heard him say this, they immediately moved their minds.
A worker stepped forward and attacked him, Sun Chen had also practiced martial arts, but he was lonely, and was thrown to the ground by a worker and lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself lying at the mouth of the cave under the cliff with his hands and feet tied. With an old towel stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't make a sound anymore.
The police began to search for the four dock workers, but it was already dark and the four men had long since disappeared.
The next day, the shopkeeper and his men carefully examined the shore again, and although they found broken carriages and dead horses on the seashore, they did not find the three boxes of silverware.
The police asked Sun Chen to describe the characteristics of the four dock workers and began to look for people.
Sheriff Cai led the personnel to investigate the dock for a long time, but found a few workers who were similar to the people in the portrait, but none of them were the ones who knocked Sun Chen unconscious.
The price of those three boxes of silverware was very expensive, and the shopkeeper Gao saw that he couldn't explain the matter, so he had to invite Sheriff Cai to return to Fengcheng together and explain the situation to Tan Jiuye.
Tan Jiuye knew that there was a guy here, but he didn't have a clue. He originally wanted to ask Mo Zhiyuan for help. But Mo Zhiyuan, as the police chief of Fengcheng, was inconvenient to go to Lushun to handle the case privately.
Tan Jiuye thought of Mo Yanfei, this girl can be regarded as the one he has seen since he was a child. He knew that several major cases in Fengcheng were said to be solved by Sun Hongwen and Zhou Feng on the surface, but in fact, Mo Yanfei was missing in every case.
But Mo Yanfei is a girl's family after all, and it is inconvenient for Tan Jiuye to invite Mo Yanfei directly. He had some friendship with Zhang Zongkui, so he asked Zhang Zongkui to come forward and tell Zhang Siye about the situation.
The eldest brother spoke, how could Zhang Siye not agree. Besides, Zhang Siye also has his plans, Tan Jiuye takes the sea, and all the goods that come in are foreign. He wants to open a club and build a western-style building, so naturally this foreign goods are indispensable to decorate the faΓ§ade.
Although Zhang Siye has a lot of things to do now, it is not delayed that he will take this opportunity to take Mo Yanfei to Lushun to play around and purchase some foreign goods.
After listening to the shopkeeper Gao, Mo Yanfei asked, "Those three boxes of silverware, how big are the boxes and how much they weigh?" β
"A one-meter square box, how much does it weigh......" The shopkeeper thought for a while, "about two hundred catties." β
Mo Yanfei nodded, "Oh, it's not very heavy." β
The shopkeeper explained: "The silverware is very thin, it doesn't weigh much, and the heavy weight is the box and the packaging inside. β
"Is the shore below the cliff a sand or a reef?"
"Reef, of course." Shopkeeper Gao was a little disappointed, he didn't understand what Tan Jiuye meant by finding such a girl who didn't know anything, and asked East and West.
Mo Yanfei didn't care about the attitude of the shopkeeper Gao, she continued to ask, "Is the sea water on the shore deep?" Can you make a boat? The latest chapter of "Hundred Plating" Cute Detective of the Republic of China: Curiosity Kills Cat's Paw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
