Chapter 125: Something Happened in Sicheng
After Apollo left, Bai Zhengqing looked at the list carefully, and luxurious antiques came out of the list, but he excluded them one by one.
After looking at it for a long time, he just felt that this number was really rich, and these antiques could probably add up to buy a small country.
Flipping through the pages, his eyes were sour at the end, and he was going to give up, but seeing that there were only a few pages left, he still planned to grit his teeth and read it.
In the end, these are the relatively least valuable things in No. 1's hand, so Bai Zhengqing turned it over quickly.
By the time he reached the last page, he should have swept it away, but he stopped.
Unlike the previous pages, which contain detailed information about the objects, this page contains only a single photograph.
Bai Zhengqing stared at the hoe photo, and a not very deep memory in his mind was quickly connected to it.
He remembered that last night, Wu Na had told him that Governor Locke was born into a peasant family and had been farming with his father since he was a child.
And the hoe is the tool of the farmer to do farm work, how can such an ordinary object appear in the list of antiques in No. 1.
It was so unusual that he had to link the two together.
Without recruiting Apollo, he contacted Wu Na directly.
Soon Wu Na came to his room.
He handed this page to Wu Na and said, "This is one of the collections of No. 1, you can help me investigate what is special about this, and see if it can be related to Governor Locke." ”
Wu Na picked up the information and looked at it, but she really didn't see anything special, she said uncertainly: "You have doubts just based on this photo?" ”
Bai Zhengqing nodded and said: "To be able to sit in the position of governor, I think there must be chaebol support behind it, so I don't think ordinary treasures should be able to impress the other party." But children born to poor people generally miss the old love more than children from rich families, so I think if this thing is really related to Locke, maybe One will really succeed. ”
At this time, Wu Na's expression became solemn, she nodded, took the information and left.
The action was going to be tomorrow afternoon, and she had to find out what was wrong before she could act.
This time, it was not something that could be found out by rummaging through the information in the intelligence system of the General Bureau, so she took Ma Jian and Ni Daqiu and rushed to Waga City overnight.
Fortunately, the city of Wagga is very close to the city of Pella, less than 200 kilometers, so their group arrived here at about 8 o'clock in the evening.
At this time, most of the people in this small town have not yet slept.
So, they launched an investigation into it.
Locke is a local legend, and what a miraculous thing it is to go out of such a small place and eventually become the governor of the country, so almost all the residents here know about him.
Many of them were his neighbors when he was a child.
From those people, they learned a lot about Locke's farming as a child, and an old man recognized the little hoe.
Locke's home had a fire before, and most of the things in the house were burned out, and there was very little left behind.
And this hoe was used when he was a child, and he happened to borrow it at that time, so he escaped the catastrophe.
And the reason why he was so impressed was that someone came to the door some time ago to ask about it.
After hearing the news, Wu Na immediately understood that it must be someone sent by No. 1.
He sent someone to look for the relics of the Locke family, and later found the little hoe through some means.
In other words, Bai Zhengqing's guess was correct, and the target of No. 1 was indeed Governor Locke.
After confirming this, she immediately drove back to Bella City and informed Bai Zhengqing of the news.
From this, Bai Zhengqing was even more sure that there was indeed a problem with the governor's itinerary the next day.
Therefore, he paid more attention to this operation.
But on the morning of the operation, Apollo came with bad news.
The National Banknote Printing Factory, located on the outskirts of Si Cheng, was robbed.
This is the lifeblood of the entire Shahai Kingdom, and a large part of the reason why the Xicheng Demon Investigation Bureau has been stationed in Xicheng is that the banknote printing factory is there.
Unexpectedly, after a few days in Bella City this time, it was lost, which made Apollo impatient.
In fact, Bai Zhengqing had already reminded him to pay attention to the side of Xicheng, but in the past few days, Apollo has been concentrating on investigating the matter of the hotel and No. 1, so he ignored it.
This made Bai Zhengqing really helpless.
It's mostly a matter of trade-offs.
In Apollo's opinion, there are many direct clues to be found here, and the effect is much better than looking for a needle in a haystack in Sidcheng.
Bai Zhengqing can fully understand this, so he doesn't intend to blame him.
Xicheng was Apollo's territory, and he was the first person responsible for the accident at the banknote printing factory, so Bai Zhengqing did not blame him for his position.
"They must have done it on purpose, to draw our attention here, and then to make a move from the east to the west."
In the hotel conference room, Apollo walked back and forth restlessly.
Bai Zhengqing looked calm, and didn't forget to remind him: "That cry hits the west." ”
Apollo looked at him with a resentful expression, as if he was complaining, did you miss the point?
Bai Zhengqing was also speechless.
It was the first time he had seen a wise man so irritable.
However, no one stipulates that a person with a high IQ must have a calm personality, and a high-IQ businessman with such a violent temper can also have such a violent temper.
In essence, IQ is not the same thing as EQ and emotions.
But there is always something unique about high IQ.
was disturbed by Bai Zhengqing like this, but Apollo quickly calmed down.
He quickly dismissed his opinion: "No, there is a problem here. ”
Arthur on the side was also very anxious, he originally wanted to ask Bai Zhengqing if he wanted to withdraw to Xicheng immediately.
But before the words could be spoken, Apollo's reversal immediately stunned him.
He asked instead, "Brother, what's wrong?" What did you find? ”
Apollo frowned and said, "If his target is Congressman Stephen, then it is not a simple ...... for him to rob the banknote printing factory."
Speaking of which, he suddenly got stuck.
Arthur reluctantly reminded: "The sound is striking the west." ”
Apollo nodded and said, "Yes, the sound of the east strikes the west, this is not necessarily the sound of the east and the west, maybe it is another sound of the east and the west." ”
Most of the people at the scene were stunned by his words.
Bai Zhengqing explained for him with a smile: "What the director means is that this robbery of the banknote printing factory may be the real one, in order to lure us back to Xicheng, so that they can do something in Bella City." ”
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
Apollo glanced at Bai Zhengqing gratefully, which made Bai Zhengqing quite speechless.
The Chinese language is still too broad and profound, and it is really difficult for ordinary foreigners to learn it well.
Apollo said this a little incoherently, but it can be regarded as a living study.
At this time, Eiko Miyagawa, who was sitting next to Arthur, asked with a smile, "Bai Jun, what do you think?" ”
Compared with Apollo, she is more familiar with Bai Zhengqing, so she naturally trusts him more.
And Bai Zhengqing arranged a secret operation in the afternoon, and Miyagawa Eiko and Arthur also had to participate in it, so she was very sure that Bai Zhengqing must have her own opinion.
