Chapter 7 Fishing
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
If it weren't for the wigs pretending to be ghosts and scaring people, Qinghe Lane would have been an obscure alley.
Standing at the mouth of the alley, you can see the mottled walls on both sides, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, the potholes, the slippery moss spreads along the corners of the wall, a few children squatting at the door of the house to play games, you give me a leaf, I will give you a stone, and go to buy another child's fried buns with mud. Zhao Nan was dressed in a suit, holding a briefcase, his hair was oily and slippery, and he used Ye Quan's sneer to describe that flies couldn't stand up, so he dressed like a staff member of a foreign company.
"Excuse me......" Seeing a few women washing vegetables at the water pipe on the side of the alley, Zhao Nan leaned over and asked, "Mr. Xueqing's family lives here?" β
The women looked at him and shook their heads, and one of them put the celery down and said, "I don't know this person." β
I don't know? But the scalp said that the person was named Xueqing.
"Madam, think about it again, is there such a person around here?"
Several young women shook their heads and chattered that they had never heard the man's name.
Zhao Nan looked at the woman who had just chosen celery, and she replied to this person, I don't know.
If there was no such person here, I wouldn't have answered that. Thinking of this, he sighed deliberately, showing a look of regret: "It's a pity, such a large amount of property, but I can't find Mr. Xueqing, how can this be good." β
"Property? What property? β
The woman who chose celery rolled her eyes.
"This, hehe, it's not convenient to say, I've been investigating for a long time, Mr. Xueqing lives here, and now I see that my investigation was wrong, so I'm disturbed."
Zhao Nan held the briefcase and nodded politely.
He deliberately walked forward as if nothing had happened, until he reached the mouth of the alley, without looking back, but listening intently, there were hurried footsteps behind him.
"Hey, sir, wait a minute, wait a minute."
The celery woman, with an apron tied around her waist, was trotting over.
"Madam, is there something wrong?" Zhao Nan looked at the woman.
She looked like she was in her forties, her hair was permed, the ends of her hair were a little yellow, it seemed that she had been permed, and she also saw traces of fat powder on her face, she should be a very beautiful woman, but she was dressed very ordinarily, a cotton cheongsam with flowers, the rolled edge was a little white, and she was wearing a blue cloth apron, and the woman was obviously a little nervous, and she couldn't help wiping her hands with the apron in front of her waist.
"You just said property, what property?"
Zhao Nan shook his head: "Madam, it's a matter of personal privacy, and I can't disclose it." β
"Well, maybe I can help you find out if there's such a person nearby."
The woman's eyes were spinning, and Zhao Nan was even more convinced that she knew this person and had a great relationship with this person.
"It would be great if you could help me inquire, madam. I've been looking for a long time, but there's only this one name, it seems to be a short, square-faced, red-faced man, and the man told me that he only knows that this person's name is Xueqing, and this name is a bit weird, like a French name, right? β
When Zhao Nan said this, he saw that the woman nodded involuntarily, and instantly had an idea in his heart, and continued to speak: "That's the case, an old gentleman, an old gentleman who is doing business in Hong Kong entrusted our foreign firm to find this person named Xueqing, and only roughly talked about the appearance and characteristics of this person, saying that he seems to live near this Qinghe Lane, this old gentleman fell ill on the ship that came to Shanghai in Hong Kong in his early years, and was saved by this Mr. Xueqing, the old gentleman is old, and the only son left him the year before last, and he has no heirs. He donated all his property to Mr. Xueqing, one was to repay the life-saving grace of the year, and the other was to hope that this property could help good people. β
When the woman heard this, she kept wiping her hands with her apron, which were not wet, and she was forcibly suppressing her excitement.
"That's it, Ou Yo, it's a good thing, a pie in the sky."
The woman still couldn't hold back her excitement and smiled like a flower.
"Yes, I have investigated for a long time, and I determined that there should have been a gentleman named Xueqing who lived here, but it turned out that there was still none, so in two months, I can't find this gentleman again, according to the law over there, this property will be donated, and it will be considered for the benefit of the society."
"Donate? Why! β
The woman's voice suddenly raised.
"There's no way, I can't find that person."
"But why don't you just find someone named Xueqing?"
The woman seemed to have remembered something.
Zhao Nan remembered some details that the human skin later recalled and said: "The old gentleman said that Mr. Xueqing had a hairy black mole on his chest, which was very large. β
The woman's eyes lit up suddenly: "A black mole? Still hairy on it? β
"Yes, it was summer when I rescued people, and people wore thin clothes, and I saw it occasionally, and the old gentleman's gift document indicated this, if that Mr. Xueqing was short, with a square face, a red face, and a long hairy black mole on his chest, then it must be, the document is very clear, I don't think there are many people who meet these conditions, right?"
"Not much, not much." The woman nodded again and again, and asked tentatively, "Did the old gentleman say what that Mr. Xueqing did?" β
Zhao Nan saw the hope in her eyes, and thought about it: "He guessed that it might be a Taoist priest or something, right?" β
Sure enough, the woman involuntarily grinned: "Yes." β
Zhao Nan hurriedly asked, "Mrs., do you know this person?" β
"Huh? I just asked, curious, hehe, don't worry, I'll help you inquire, so where can I find you? β
"I'm from Hong Kong Huasheng & Co., and my name is Li Long."
Zhao Nan handed over the fake business card printed, pointed to it and said, "Here is my phone number in Shanghai, if my wife can find out about this person's situation, you can call me." β
The woman took the business card and carefully tucked it into her pocket.
Zhao Nan looked at the woman's back, and a smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth: Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, sure enough, drawing a big pie and tempting with money is the best trick.
In the afternoon, the woman dressed up and walked out of the alley with a bit of fancy meaning.
"Go to Niutou Mountain."
The woman waved a rickshaw.
Although Niutou Mountain is named with a mountain, it is not a mountain, but a Taoist temple.
Zhao Nan drove all the way and followed not far away, and saw that the woman got out of the car in front of the Niutou Mountain Taoist Temple, but did not go in, but walked around the Taoist Temple and came to a small courtyard, knocked on the door gently, the door opened, and she entered in a flash.
For fear of being discovered, Zhao Nan couldn't see the face of the person who opened the door, and when he saw a branch sticking out of the corner of the courtyard, he took out the pier from his arms, tied a small bag to it, and whispered, "Go ahead, see what the people in there are talking about." β
