Chapter 90: Teng Jianmin's Ledger
It turned out to be what was recorded in the ledger. It doesn't look like a hotel's purchase and expense records, and the content is a bit metaphorical, but it reads roughly as follows.
Time; Early 1998.
Place; Old stalls.
Personnel; He Qingwu, Meng Dong, Chen Dian.
Event; The old stall received, a total of four, the silk is long, and the porcelain is clear.
Summary; The total expenditure is 70,000, 40,000 on a black background, and 30,000 for each of the rest. The receiver is the old stall lame man's house, and he returns to the store in three days.
Each record is thus divided into several elements, time, place, people, time, and summary. The words are quite subtle and difficult to understand, and they are also very concise. There is a record of this every few months, and sometimes the event is a receipt that has been seen before, but in a different location.
Sometimes the event is changed to Dingbao, and sometimes it is called a clip. I'm dazzled by the variety of terms.
And every time the event is different, the people in the company will also change, such as two or three people when receiving the goods. Dingbao also has seven or eight people, and there are more than a dozen people. Names that usually appear once rarely appear a second time, except for the one I saw above, Chen Dianhu, who has him every time he receives the goods.
The more Lao Meng looked at it, the tighter his brows locked, as if he saw something.
"What, do you see something?" I asked him.
Old Meng shook his head in confusion, "That's not right, they also keep accounts like this?" ”
"What do you call them too?"
Lao Meng pointed to the words on the account book and said to me, "I don't understand this receipt, but Dingbao is the so-called dragon search point outside, looking for the feng shui treasure tomb." Walking the clamp is to clamp the lama, and find more helpers to go to the ground together through a layer of relationships. ”
It seems that this Teng Jianmin is really tired.
If this is really Teng Jianmin's ledger, then it also explains why the hotel is so crowded but still able to feed so many people. The hotel is a money laundering business, so as to legalize the money earned by clamping lamas and robbing tombs, so he will not pay attention to whether the benefits of the hotel are good or bad.
The corners of my mouth were frivolous, and I smiled, now I finally have a bit of Teng Jianmin's handle, and I will not be completely passive. Even if he has any disadvantages for us in the future, at least he can pull this matter out and block the knife.
Lao Meng still looked at the ledger in a daze, looking a little strange, "But how do you know these terms?" I asked him.
Lao Meng sighed, "It's strange that this is not a term at all, nor is it a black word in the industry, this is the code name of my dad and his gang of guys when they study these issues in private, the silk refers to the size of things, and the porcelain refers to the color... ”
I didn't think it was a serious problem, "I didn't prepare anyone to listen to it, and then I thought it was okay and used it." ”
Lao Meng shook his head resolutely, "Impossible, first of all, when we talk about these things again, we will definitely choose a place where no one eavesdrops and disturbs." And even if someone listens to it, they don't necessarily know what it means. If you look at what is recorded in this ledger, it is clear and accurate, and you must know the meaning of these words clearly. ”
"Are you suspicious?"
Lao Meng pondered, "I don't know, my father has rarely let me meddle in his affairs for so many years. In the past, I said that I was still young and there was no need to understand this. Later, when I grew up, he sent me directly to become a soldier, and I didn't think he had any intention of letting me inherit the mantle, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now that I think about it, the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes. ”
"Your dad used to make a living as a tomb robber?"
Lao Meng put the ledger aside, "As far as I know, since my grandfather's generation, he has been pouring antiques, I have never heard of tomb robbing, and no one has told me the truth." ”
"It's possible that these words have been around since your grandfather's generation, but you don't know it."
Lao Meng looked entangled: "Do you know how I feel?" It's like when I go to class every day and tell my table mate that our teacher is a fool, but the teacher turns out that the teacher is my tablemate's father. ”
"I don't know how you feel, but you describe it very well... I still don't quite understand what Lao Meng's tangled points are, they are just two pronouns, and they are not secrets.
But when I think about it later, there will be many problems with this extension. For example, if he has a way to know these two code words, then he may also have a way to know what plans he has when he says these words, which is a very terrifying thing.
This means that there are two possibilities, either Teng Jianmin and Meng Laosi have been in contact for a long time, or Meng Laosi thinks that the trade secrets have already been spread.
But when I think about it, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand.
"No, you think so, maybe these account books are not Teng Jianmin's at all? You also know that this industry has a small circle, and there are so many people going around, in case your father's buddy was dug up by Teng Jianmin, it is not impossible to leave these account books. ”
I analyzed it for Lao Meng, and I suspect that this account book may not be his. ”
Lao Meng shook his head, I'm in a mess now, I actually don't want to see anything related to my dad anymore, I have a headache. We don't have to go through such muddy water, he has to stir up something. ”
I know Lao Meng's mood, probably just like me a few months ago, wishing that I was as far away from this matter as possible, and every time something was involved, I could be uneasy for a while.
I simply flipped through the stacks of ledgers next to me, and there was nothing else special. You can't stay here for long, in case anyone thinks of getting up and coming down to see me and Lao Meng, it's very likely that they will be arrested.
"Put things down and go." I urged Lao Meng.
Although Lao Meng put the account book back, he still looked back and stared at it unwillingly. I pushed him from behind, and the two of them went up the stairs again. Based on my previous experience, since it was smooth when I came down, the way back will definitely not be easy, but it is beyond my imagination. After I was prepared for all kinds of unexpected situations, the two of us walked out safe and sound.
After the iron door was locked, my heart returned to its original place, today is an auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to be sneaky...
Lao Meng has been thinking about it since he came up from the basement, I really can't see his Lin Daiyu appearance, so I had to ask him, "Is there anything else you can't think of, say it, let me scold a few words." ”
Lao Meng thought about it, and suddenly sat up from the bed, I felt that my father was an old fox. Lao Meng said thoughtlessly.
"So what?"
"So if Teng Jianmin digs up his buddies and leaks these special words, it is impossible for him not to know." Old Meng stared at me, as if to remind me of what he was going to say next.
"You doubt your dad?" I'm not sure about asking.
Lao Meng nodded slightly......
Tusuo, who had been watching TV with Erlang's legs crossed, suddenly laughed, and Lao Meng, who was already in a bad mood, threw over a pillow and scolded, "Laugh." ”
Tu Suo raised his long legs and kicked the pillow away, and said casually, "It's funny to laugh at you two, both dads are full of bad water." ”
This is an ugly thing to say, and my first reaction was to refute it, but if I think about it, Tuso's summary is quite in place. My dad disappeared inexplicably, and he deliberately set a trap to play all of us around. Lao Meng's father was mysterious, pretending to be a good person at first, but now he is starting to show his fox tail.
The biggest enemy we met along the way was not a ghost keeper, but these two uneasy fathers.
As I was talking, the phone in the room rang suddenly, and I picked it up and listened to it, saying that there was a courier for me at the front desk.
Lao Meng asked me, "Have you bought something?" ”
I shook my head stunned, I didn't order food, and I didn't shop online, how could there be my courier downstairs?
I've only been at this hotel for two days, so could it be that I've been targeted?
It's useless to just think about it, I simply put on a dress and went downstairs, Lao Meng said that he wanted to accompany me and I refused, I don't believe that anyone dares to send me something that will explode in broad daylight?
The lady at the front desk handed me a package, and when I opened it on the spot, I found that it contained a fishbone carved from mahogany.
The bones are about the size of the palm of my hand, and the bones are not sharp, not unlike wooden comb teeth.
I took a closer look and found that the bones were stained with blood, and I could even smell the fishy smell when I got closer.
I glanced at the sender of the courier, and it was blank.
I asked the young lady at the front desk who sent it.
She only said that she was just a fat man in blue short sleeves, and said that she would hand it over to Xiao Ding of 507.
I pretended to be, thanked me and took the elevator upstairs, not noticing that anyone was walking with me, and was all about the fishbone.
Another mysterious courier, another object I had never seen before, and I had a faint feeling in my heart that this thing was a bait that was fishing me to go deeper and darker.
After the door opened, I followed the person in front of me down the elevator, and when I turned a corner, I realized that this was not the floor I was on, but the top floor of the Tengtu Hotel.
The top floor doesn't seem to be a guest room, but an office room.
I was about to turn around and leave directly, but at this moment, the door at the end of the room opened, and a woman in professional clothes walked up to me, "Mr. Xiao, Boss Teng is invited." ”
I hesitated, but walked over with the woman.
Hiding is not a way, since this surnamed Teng dares to take the initiative to find me, it means that he is ready to lead me like a trap. I can't do enough, I definitely can't dodge, it's better to just go head-on.
On the way, I quietly used my mobile phone to send a text message to Lao Meng - top floor, Teng Jianmin.
Walking into the office, a figure looked out the window with his back to me.
The woman knocked on the door and motioned for the man to say that Mr. Shaw had arrived.
Teng Jianmin turned around leisurely, and after seeing me, he pretended not to see me for a long time.
Fake stand up and thank me, "Chong Chong said that he brought a few life-saving friends back, and it was really fate, it turned out to be the nephew of the Xiao family." ”
I let him shake my hand, wondering which one he was going to sing again?
