What is Liu Pengcheng doing with a quick-acting heart-saving pill in his hand?

He was afraid that the old man would pull it over.

So what did he show the old man?

It is a photograph of the scene of Lao Du's murder, a color photo.

The old man looked at the tragic situation of Lao Du's murder, and his hands trembled. He muttered: "He's a good person, even if he goes, he shouldn't walk like this!" ”

Liu Pengcheng took the photo back in his hand and put it back in his handbag. said: "Mr. Du was very happy after reuniting with you, and said to his driver that he actually met his childhood friend, if you don't speak, Mr. Du will end up, alas! ”

The old man returned to the chair he sat on every day in the house, took a sip of water, calmed down and said, "You are not a friend of Lao Du's son-in-law, are you?" ”

Liu Pengcheng first saw that there was indeed nothing abnormal about him, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said: "I am not lying to you, I do know his son-in-law, but I am not a friend, I am a policeman." ”

Liu Pengcheng handed his ID to the old man.

What Liu Pengcheng gave him was not the certificate of the deputy director of his Qinghu Branch, but the certificate of the associate professor of the crime center.

The old man put on reading glasses, looked at them carefully and returned them to Liu Pengcheng, and then said: "Associate professor, it's very powerful, it's only been a few days, every time Young Master Du comes alone, you still find me." ”

Liu Pengcheng said: "Then, let's talk?" ”

The old man said: "Alas, I have nothing else I can't let go, that is, my daughter, a secondary school student who studied finance and accounting well, was laid off." The child still has to go to school, and the son-in-law is not angry, how good do you say! ”

All three of them understood. This is the old man's condition.

Xiao Liu is the only Mingzhou native among the three of them. Xiao Liu said without hesitation: "No problem, I can introduce your daughter to a foreign-funded enterprise." And I promise that you will surrender yourself, and if what you say really has something to do with our eucalyptus, I will count you as a meritorious service. Even if you commit a crime, I promise you won't be sentenced to a physical sentence. ”

In fact, the first of these guarantees is true, and the remaining two are false. Why? Because if you want to recommend someone to a foreign-funded enterprise, either you are very familiar with the other party, or the person who speaks is very "hard", and Xiao Liu is a policeman, it is estimated that there are not many police officers like Liu Pengcheng who have made a Hong Kong clothing company by themselves, so this is still difficult.

And the old man has not been taken coercive measures, and there is no evidence of any crime, he now takes the initiative to say the gold thing, of course you have to be regarded as someone surrendered, and if what he said is really a major clue, you must be regarded as a meritorious person for such a big eucalyptus.

There is also a third one, a seventy-year-old technical otaku, the crime he committed is not a violent crime, you sentence a physical sentence to try, the Justice Bureau is the first to be anxious, the lawyer and the prison are from the Justice Bureau!

The old man looked at Xiao Liu: "What can you say?" ”

Xiao Liu took out his ID and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked at his documents and said softly: "The instructor of the Comprehensive Brigade of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Mingzhou City Public Security Bureau seems to be okay." ”

Liu Pengcheng also knew for the first time that Xiao Liu was actually the instructor of the comprehensive brigade. sat in this position at such a young age, and just now he agreed to the old man's conditions lightly, and added two by himself, which shows that this young man's background and ability are not given in vain.

The old man sighed, "Alas, then let's talk about it." Let me start with one thing, Young Master Du and I really can't be called friends. When I met him, I had just been apprenticed to Master for a short time, and sometimes Mrs. Du would bring Master Du to the store to see if there were any new styles of fashionable jewelry. Mrs. Du has to talk to my master, and I will be responsible for taking Young Master Du to play. I am a junior apprentice in a jewelry shop, so what kind of friend can I be. ”

The old man took out a Shilin cigarette and struck a match several times but did not light the fire. Liu Pengcheng took out his Dupeng lighter and lit it for him.

In the green smoke, the old man continued: "Young Master Du has a good heart, and after getting acquainted with me, every time he comes, he brings me some small gifts, sometimes a pencil, sometimes a piece of Western dim sum that I have never eaten. At that time, the army was chaotic, and Mingzhou was not peaceful, my master accidentally offended the nobles, so he took his family and I to Shanghai overnight, and after that, I and Young Master Du did not meet. ”

The old man was silent for a long time, and Liu Pengcheng and the three of them did not interrupt the old man's memories until the cigarette butt was hot, and the old man took out another cigarette and lit it with the cigarette butt before continuing: "Until a few years ago, I remember that it should be 93 or 94 years, one day, I was basking in the sun at the door of the store, and Young Master Du came to choose a birthday gift for his children, and then we met again.

He recognized me first, and then he often came to see me, and we two drank some wine and talked about the past, and talked about the present. When it comes to friends, that's when we really become friends. ”

The old man paused again, sighed and said, "Alas, after about a year, he told me that he was retired and didn't want to do it anymore. Then he asked me if I could get gold. At first, I thought he was going to make jewelry, but it wasn't, he wanted gold gourds. ”

Liu Pengcheng sighed in his heart, Lao Du was born in a commercial family, and he actually wanted to save gold gourds.

So what is a golden gourd? At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the merchants of the Qin and Jin Dynasty merchants used to make gold and silver into the shape of gourds, which were golden gourds and silver gourds. Compared with gold and silver ingots and later international standard gold bars and gold bricks, the gourd is of course huge! It's also very heavy, so why did you make the silver deposit in this shape?

First, it is not easy to lose. You get gold bars, today the family steals one, and tomorrow the concubine takes one away, isn't this, what else is hidden?

Second, it is not easy to be stolen, and the two snitches came in, dodged the family all the way, rushed into the silver vault, and then sadly found that they couldn't move!

Third, it is conducive to large transactions. Needless to say.

Fourth, it's convenient to give gifts! The twenty-eighth concubine of the governor celebrates her 23rd birthday, is it convenient for you to send a box of ingots, or is it convenient to send a gourd? Besides, the nature is not the same, the governor was born in the two lists, how many years have you read the books of sages, you send some gold and silver vulgar things, who are you buried? Of course, if you give something to someone, won't people laugh at it?

Later, with the help of Qin and Jin merchants to go to Jiangnan, this habit of storing gold and silver was also learned by the merchants in Jiangnan.

Liu Pengcheng asked, "Do you remember the quantity?" ”

The old man nodded: "I remember, I hit twice, once twenty catties, once thirty catties, and all of them were hollow gourds with a diameter of half a meter." ”

Liu Pengcheng and the three of them were greatly excited, the motive, they should really have found it!

So why did the old man keep it a secret, and even why didn't Lao Du tell his daughter that he had this gold?

Because in 1997, it was illegal to buy and sell gold privately!

In fact, when Liu Pengcheng saw that there was a gold shop on this pedestrian street, and the owner of the gold shop was an old man who was likely to know Lao Du, he basically determined that Lao Du's money was to buy gold!

This also explains why at the beginning, Lao Du was willing to find a childhood friend with Xiao Xia Xianbei, who was silent, but later he didn't mention a word.

Because by that time he had already made up his mind to buy gold.

At the same time, Liu Pengcheng can now be absolutely sure where Lao Du's money was before he met this old friend. Cash savings, not cash savings.

There is a high probability that half of it was deposited in the bank according to the ratio of one to one, and half was hidden in cash.

However, the long-term storage of banknotes will be not small in terms of risk and consumption, so Lao Du thought of a better idea after connecting with this master by chance, that is, storing gold!

In fact, Lao Du's mood is absolutely understandable, the old man has experienced the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the ups and downs after the founding of the People's Republic of China all his life, from a young master to a hawker who wants to do some business and has to buy salted fish on credit, how strong the insecurity in his heart is, just think about it.

Liu Pengcheng retracted his thoughts and continued to ask, "Old man, who knows about this matter?" ”

The old man looked at Liu Pengcheng: "Can anyone know, can you still go out and shout everywhere about this?" Lao Du told me that he didn't even tell his daughter, and he planned to talk about it when he was not well. No, there is one more person who knows! ”

ps: Continue to ask for tickets, monthly passes, recommended tickets, the data is too miserable!
