Chapter 98: The wholesale center is on fire
After waiting for two or three minutes, Jia Liang suddenly disappeared from the balcony, and then appeared at the door of the first floor, he came down to close the door.
He closed the four open doors one by one.
When it was time to close the fourth door, Zhu Xiaohua's big hand blocked the door.
Zhu Xiaohua dragged Jia Liang and dragged him into the darkness.
Jia Liang was about to shout, but Zhu Xiaohua covered his mouth and said, "It's me, don't make a sound." ”
Zhu Xiaohua put his face in front of Jia Liang and let him see it clearly.
After recognizing that it was Zhu Xiaohua, Jia Liang calmed down.
Jia Liang said: "Brother Zhu? Shouldn't you be watching a movie? ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "The matter is urgent, and there is no time to explain. I have something left at the wholesale center at the train station, and you take Old Joe to get it for me. ”
Zhu Xiaohua handed over the motorcycle key to Jia Liang.
Jia Liang was stunned: "Do you know that Old Qiao is here?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "I saw him. I don't care what he told you, but I believe you. I believe you are my good brother. ”
Jia Liang nodded: "You have a misunderstanding with Lao Qiao's family, and I am trying to persuade him." I hope you can get back together, and the three of us will continue to grow the popsicle business together, so that we can go to Los Angeles, go to the imperial capital, and do it all over the country. ”
Zhu Xiaohua nodded: "There are some things, I will explain to you slowly in the future." But now, I need you to ride a motorcycle, take Old Joe to the wholesale center at the train station, and remember that you must not follow Old Joe upstairs. Let him take it down for you. ”
Jia Liang: "What to take?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua: "A seagull camera, a few sacks of money." ”
All his belongings for popsicles are upstairs, and it should be 80,000 or 90,000 yuan.
Jia Liang looked sad: "However, I don't know the way to the wholesale center." ”
Zhu Xiaohua: "It's okay, Lao Qiao knows." Just let him take you. Remember, don't go near the shops, and don't go upstairs! ”
Seeing that Zhu Xiaohua was talking solemnly, Jia Liang couldn't help but pay attention to it, and nodded seriously: "I listen to you." ”
Zhu Xiaohua handed over the key to the wholesale center of the railway station to Jia Liang.
He pointed to the motorcycle at the entrance of the alley in the distance and said, "The car is there." Remember, let Lao Qiao go up alone, I believe that the people of Lao Qiao's family will not do anything to him. But don't come close. ”
Jia Liang had learned the power of the people in Lao Qiao's family during the day, and he felt that what Zhu Xiaohua said was not too much, and the matter might be true.
Although he didn't know what the specifics were, he believed that Brother Zhu would never be wrong.
Jia Liang took the key and went upstairs.
Not long after, Jia Liang and Lao Qiao went downstairs and went out.
The two walked not far away, and Old Qiao suddenly said, "Wait a minute, something I forgot." ”
Zhu Xiaohua hid under the steps of the shop, and couldn't help but be stunned, should Lao Qiao also be a participant, knowing the situation at the train station?
If this is the case, then Lao Qiao is not the old Qiao he knows at all.
He will be one of the masterminds who made the old Joe family pour gasoline!
Jia Liang asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Old Joe pointed to the door and said, "The door is not locked yet." ”
Jia Liang ran back and closed the door tightly, and said, "It's not locked, there's nothing valuable here, let's go on a motorcycle, and the round trip is very fast." ”
Jia Liang shook the key in his hand: "Brother Zhu promised me that his motorcycle is usually ridden by me." ”
Lao Qiao also saw Jia Liang riding a motorcycle during the day, so he didn't think it was strange.
The two found the motorcycle at the entrance of the alley in front of them, unlocked it, lit the fire, and rode away on the motorcycle.
After Zhu Xiaohua saw the two of them walking away, he pushed the door and went upstairs.
He urgently found paper and pen and wrote two letters, one anonymous and the other to Chen Xiangwan.
After writing the letter, put it in an envelope and put it in your coat pocket and go out.
He found an unlocked bicycle downstairs and rode it to the train station.
More than 40 minutes later, Zhu Xiaohua rushed to the railway station sweating profusely, only to see that in the wholesale center west of the railway station, the fire was soaring, and the flames illuminated the entire square as if it were day.
People came and went, screaming and jumping around.
Someone shouted: "It's on fire, hurry up and put out the fire." ”
Three or five other people were carrying water in pots and plastic buckets and pouring water into the fire.
The cold water poured down one after another, and the fire was extinguished in some areas, but after a few minutes, it rekindled and the fire flares again.
Someone shouted, "This little water is too little, more people will come to fight the fire." ”
However, there are few people who have tools, and there are many people who don't have tools, and most of them can only stand in the distance and watch the excitement, and they dare not approach at all.
Zhu Xiaohua found a familiar figure among the firefighters, only to see that his hair was charred and his face was black, and he was squatting on the ground, rummaging for something in the black mess.
Zhu Xiaohua walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
He turned around, and it was Jia Liang.
Jia Liang's tears welled up in an instant: "Brother Zhu, Lao Qiao, Lao Qiao is still on fire!" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "I didn't expect that the people of Lao Qiao's family would even burn Lao Qiao." ”
He looked at Jia Liang again and asked, "How did you get like this?" ”
Jia Liang said: "Not long after Lao Qiao entered, the fire suddenly burst out from all sides. I thought, we're here to get the camera and your sack of money. And he rushed into the fire. ”
Jia Liang took out the seagull camera from under him, the camera and film were still lying in the bag, but Jia Liang's clothes had been burned and rolled together.
Zhu Xiaohua took the camera and said, "Actually, if you really can't get it back, forget it, just buy another one." You don't have to throw yourself into the fire. ”
Jia Liang continued to rummage through the pile of black things on the ground.
Jia Liang said: "After I finished picking up the camera, I went to the second floor to carry your sacks of money. But the whole room was on fire, and the smoke was so loud that flames rushed in through the windows. I was choked to death in battle, and in an emergency I ran away with a sack that was not yet on fire.
"I ran downstairs with my sack, and in the staircase, the sack was also lit by a raging fire. I was sleepy there for three minutes, and I urgently found wet clothes to cover it and rushed out.
But when they came out, the wet clothes had turned into dry clothes and caught fire. The money in the sack is only these black wreckage. ”
Jia Liang directly flipped to the bottom, took out a few Great Unity banknotes that were not yet on fire, and said in surprise: "There are still those that are not on fire here." ”
Zhu Xiaohua stopped the person who was carrying a bucket to put out the fire, poured a bucket of water directly on the remains of the banknote, and followed Jia Liang to find it.
They poured all the black ashes on the ground and picked them up on the spot.
The banknotes that were in good condition, half-burned, were all gathered up and put into separate bags.
When he was done cleaning it all, he carried the bag, which still weighed a few pounds.
These intact and mutilated banknotes add more than 2,000 pieces in total.
