Chapter 203: An Investigation Separated by a Wall
Just when the young boss Xiao Barr was talking and connecting, a wall away, Lu An was also curiously inquiring about the identity of the young boss.
"Is he in the antiques business?"
"What? Antiques business? ”
"yes, not in the antiques business? There are so many books out there, I thought he specialized in selling antique books. ”
Lu An scratched his head, it seemed that his guess was a little too ridiculous, and Su Ruyu was confused by herself.
When Su Ruyu heard his ridiculous speculation, she glanced at him angrily, shook her head and said, "He is actually an intermediary." ”
"Intermediary?"
"Well, in fact, he collected information and then matched the deal with the two interested parties. It's just that in this 'Sherlock market', buyers and sellers in many transactions do not deal directly, and they all facilitate transactions through such channels. So if you really want to talk about it, he's actually more of an intelligence dealer. ”
Lu An nodded, although he was still puzzled as to why there were so many messy stacks of books in the studio-and-reception room and living room that looked like a shop and the young man outside, but he understood why Su Ruyu brought him here.
In many black markets, there are actually many intermediaries like the teenager outside, doing the work of intelligence traffickers.
In the heart of the Sherlock market, the smugglers of the trading networks who stand, crouch, or sit are actually of a similar nature. It's just that those snakeheads are basically dedicated to a trading network, and they are supported by a huge system to stand behind them, and they are generally those large-scale black market underground transactions.
And the likes of this young boss, Barr, are basically the ones who come and go in many piecemeal deals, but pick opportunities to make money.
It's like the difference between herbivores and omnivores.
For these intelligence dealers, keeping customer secrets is their most basic professional ethics, once there is a leak of information and other unclean actions and is discovered, then they will basically be smashed out of the black market.
Although the black market seems to be a so-called dark underground market, in fact, in this kind of place, the rules are far more cumbersome than those above board, and these rules are the rules of survival left over from the fierce struggle for survival, in fact, they are more intimidating than those punishments that are often intimidated and threatened. Because the so-called law of survival is that once it is violated, it will be eliminated, and it is basically difficult to have other benefits, but the so-called punishment is not.
Lu An is not a newcomer who doesn't know anything about this, he has also been in the black market all year round, so he understands why Su Ruyu took him here to hide. Because she was sure that the young boss would not easily betray the whereabouts of the two.
"So, you're here to buy something from him?"
"yes. I used to know his father, and this shop was originally his father's. Later, when his father died, he inherited the shop, and I came to him every time. It's you, what the hell happened just now? The group of anti-smuggling officers I saw earlier is what you just said. ”
Lu An shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I don't know why they found me, but it doesn't seem to be an important matter, I just got through in a hurry and deceived them temporarily." If they come to their senses and come back to me, it will be a bit of a problem, so I want to hide first, and then when the matter is over on your side, we will leave quietly. ”
In fact, there has always been a dark cloud lurking in Su Ruyu's heart, that is, the "masked" troops who don't know when they will come. So what Lu An said was in line with her plan, so she nodded and said, "Okay, when everything I want in the evening is ready, let's leave as soon as possible." ”
"Okay."
Lu An nodded, but his fingers quietly tapped in the brain on his wrist, and he secretly asked Tanaka Baie: "Help me find out when we can leave at the earliest, and what happened to the things prepared by little Barr outside?" ”
"Okay, you wait."
However, just a moment later, Tanaka Baie's voice sounded in Lu An's ears again, and there was a very strange meaning in her voice.
"Uh, Lu An, I think your luck today is really good."
"Ah, what's wrong? Is it ready now, and we can go in a moment? Lu An typed in very uncertainly, and there was no sense of happiness for him in Tanaka Baie's tone.
Tanaka Baie resisted the urge to cry and laugh, and replied in Lu An's ear: "No, didn't you pretend to be a member of the anti-smuggling team youth league in front of that group of anti-smuggling team members just now?" ”
"yes."
"However, there is a real member of the Youth League standing outside now......"
Lu An was taken aback by Tanaka Baie's words, he really didn't expect such a thing, is there really such an ethereal thing as fate in this world? After he had just pretended to be a member of the Anti-Smuggling Squad Youth League, he threw a real member of the Youth League to his side, and let the two of them face each other. If it weren't for Lu An with the assistance of Tanaka Baie, I'm afraid no one would know about such a coincidence.
W-What is this? Could it be that you have walked too much at night and bumped into a ghost? Is it true that people can't lie casually? Or is this some kind of bad taste of fate?
……
Lu An was really speechless.
However, what Tanaka Momoe said in his ear afterwards shocked his heart.
"It's nothing, the point is that I don't know why, he is now contacting their head and investigating Li Yi, who has just met him......"
Investigating Li Yi? Why? He just had a face-to-face with him, and he didn't even say more than ten sentences, why did he start investigating himself as soon as he turned around?
Lu Anxin was very puzzled, he didn't seem to have any particularly suspicious actions just now?
Even if he just said that he had a misunderstanding with the anti-smuggling team, but a member of the Youth League turned around to investigate his identity, instead of taking the opportunity to contact himself to learn more information, this does not seem to be the kind of loyalty to duty!
"Did I catch his attention somewhere? Or is there really something secret about the identity I use now, and it deserves to be so wary of me by all the people in the anti-smuggling team? ”
Lu An's fingers flicked quickly, and he asked Tanaka Baie.
"Probably not, and I just looked it up, and the member of the Youth League outside has not received a wanted warrant from the headquarters of the anti-smuggling team. So, he shouldn't have known your identity beforehand......"
Why is that? Could it be that the young boss named Little Barr outside just wants to investigate his identity just because he doesn't like him? I'm not such a hateful and annoying person.
Lu Anxin thought so, but became more vigilant.
Today, he was suddenly issued a wanted warrant by the staff office of the anti-smuggling team headquarters, and finally deceived the members of the anti-smuggling team in the past, and then was taken by Su Ruyu to a place that seemed very safe, and as a result, he crashed headlong into the shop of a member of the Youth League who he was pretending to be just now, a real member of the Youth League, and then between the two of them, he turned around to investigate himself.
"Could it be that during the more than two months I stayed in the base of No. 265, something happened that I didn't know had a major impact, so I seemed to have become the target of public criticism, but whenever I appeared in front of these people, I would be wanted and investigated by them for no reason?"
Lu An was so suspicious, while asking Tanaka Baie to help investigate the news of Ethan Li or Li Yi, he sat down on Su Ruyu's side, and then asked flatteringly: "Doctor Su, how can we get out later?" ”
Su Ruyu leaned on the chair and replied lazily: "Xiao Barr will take us to pick up the goods in a while, and then we will follow him." ”
Lu An frowned secretly, and then asked with a smile: "Little Barr, by the way, you just said that he inherited his father's shop, is his father Old Barr?" ”
"yes, then you still need to ask."
"Oh, he's inherited his father's business at such a young age, I'm quite surprised, haha, I thought he was a student like me,......"
"He seems to have gone to college a long time ago, but because of his father's connection, he deliberately graduated early and returned here to inherit the shop."
Graduating early?
Lu An raised his eyebrows, but he was really surprised.
Being able to graduate early instead of dropping out of school, dropping out of school, etc., all show that the young boss who inherited his father's business outside is a brilliant person.
But considering what Hyamoe Tanaka said just now, it's not surprising.
The so-called Youth League of the Anti-Smuggling Team is the reserve force of this organization that has been inherited for more than 400 years, and it is the core guarantee for the continuation of this organization.
"Oh, graduating early, that's amazing!"
Lu An's praise was heartfelt.
"Lu An, found ,......"
"Hmm." Lu An nodded and motioned for Tanaka Baie to continue.
Tanaka Baie whispered in Lu An's ear: "I just found out a piece of news, at the end of last month, someone on Mars suddenly investigated Ethan Lee, and it seems to be so powerful that almost all the family forces on Mars are involved......"
"Who is it?" Lu An quietly asked Tanaka Baie on his brain.
"I haven't found out the identity of that person for the time being, only a video of him, I don't know his name yet, and almost all of the Martian family don't mention his name when they mention him, they all say that person, that person more than forty years ago, that demon, that captain, ......"
"That person? Forty years ago? Captain? Lu An was a little confused by Tanaka Baie's words, and asked rhetorically on the brain.
"Well, I'm also very strange, there is almost no information about this person, I just looked it up, it's really strange, it's the first time I've seen such a difficult person. You see, it's this man......"
Tanaka Momoe took control of Lu An's brain and projected the only image she had just captured into Lu An's pupils.
Lu An couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the hologram that appeared in front of him.
This......
