"Boss, it seems that someone came in our store last night, but nothing was lost." Early in the morning, He Caishan received a call from Le Yan, "Do you want to come back and have a look?" ”

"Don't move, I'll be right back." He Caishan hung up the phone, woke up Zhao Mingding and Zhang Bao, and immediately drove back to Tanzhou.

"Every night, I lock it up. Last night, my family had a fellow come over, at two o'clock in the morning, I closed the door of the store and locked it, and went to accompany the fellow to have supper, because I hadn't seen each other for a long time, I slept at the villager's house, and when I came back this morning, I found that the back door was hidden, and my clothes had traces of turning, but I didn't lose anything, and I didn't take the 3,000 yuan in the cash register. ”

He Caishan came to the back door and didn't find anything unusual, but Le Yan's clothes were turned over in a mess, obviously someone was looking for something.

"Did you notice anything unusual during the day yesterday?" Zhao Mingding asked.

"Yesterday during the day...... I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary...... Oh, by the way, yesterday evening someone came to buy cigarettes and asked me, 'Have you changed your boss?'" I didn't pay much attention at the time, so I casually said 'um'. The man said 'oh', bought the cigarette and left. ”

"Male or female?"

"Male, tall and thin, in his twenties, wearing a pair of sunglasses and a sun hat."

Zhao Mingding, He Caishan, and Zhang Bao glanced at each other, and basically eliminated the drunk man they met by the river in the Tanzhou vegetable market. The drunkard was tall, but he was fat, and he wasn't thin at all.

"It's fine. This should be the thief stepping on a good point, and after seeing you leave, he came to steal, probably scared away by the police passing by and patrolling. He Caishan explained, "In the future, whenever someone asks about the boss, you will say that the previous boss will not do it and will transfer the store to you." If someone is looking for trouble, don't get stuck with them, call me immediately. When you go to bed at night, as long as you lock the door, no one will dare to steal. ”

Le Yan thought for a moment and nodded. Every night, several patrolling policemen passed by the door of the store on motorcycles, and the burglar heard the noise and fled, which is also justifiable.

"Things seem to be getting a little more complicated." On the way back to Zhuhai, Zhao Mingding analyzed, "The person who came probably saw that there was a change of people in the store, and Le Yan also told him by mistake that he had changed the boss, so he hurriedly entered the store to verify." If this person is not in the same league as the drunk, then who could it be? ”

"You mean, besides the figure in the ancient city, there are other people following us?" He Caishan asked.

"It's possible." Zhao Mingding said as he sped up the car, "You two pay attention to observe and see if there are any cars following us?" ”

The silver-grey Land Rover began to weave through the traffic on the streets of downtown Zhuhai, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if it was evading or dodging something, while He Caishan and Zhang Bao watched for cars to follow behind. To be on the safe side, Zhao Mingding drove around the city for nearly two hours before finally returning to the community where he lived, and found no suspicious vehicles tracking.

For the sake of insurance, Zhao Mingding drove around the city for three days in a row, and did not find any suspicious vehicles tracking, so he was relieved.

"Strange, why didn't the other party move?" Zhao Mingding was puzzled, "Could it be that we have revealed any flaws?" ”

"Is it possible that the other party has been hiding in the shadows to observe or follow us?" Zhang Bao asked.

"I don't rule it out." He Caishan replied.

"Oh no, is it possible that the other party deliberately showed up to attract our attention, but in fact he was stepping up the excavation of the ancient city?" Zhao Mingding suddenly thought of a question.

"That's very simple, let's go back and take a look, won't it be clear?" Zhang Bao replied.

As soon as they left, the three of them drove to the ancient city, but they still didn't find any clues, but in the ancient city, they got a few more treasures.

"By now, it seems that we haven't revealed our whereabouts yet. We must find out where that man is and why as soon as possible. Zhao Mingding thought for a while and said, "Since that figure appeared in the ancient city, and this time we went to the ancient city again, and we didn't find anything unusual, is it possible that the figure we saw before was not a figure at all?" ”

"If that figure in the ancient city is not a human figure, then how can the drunk man by the river in the Tanzhou vegetable market explain it?" He Caishan patted his head, "Why don't we monitor that shop in my Tanzhou and see what happens?" I think that the other party will definitely not easily believe the matter of changing the boss of the shop, and will definitely spy on it, so let's have a counter-surveillance. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Ha ha! ”

"Maybe it's the way to go." Zhang Bao agreed.

In order not to startle the snake, they went to Tanzhou in the evening, and rented a room on the 5th floor of the rental house 50 meters behind the shop. Day and night, the three of them hid behind the curtains, taking turns monitoring the shop with high-powered military binoculars, and at the same time, observing the surrounding situation.

Three days passed, there was no movement, in the early morning of the fourth day, just when everyone was about to give up, I saw Le Yan carrying a basket out of the door in the direction of the vegetable market, after less than two minutes, a figure came to the back door of the shop, opened the back door a few times, walked in, and closed the door again.

"Let's go!" Zhao Mingding gave an order, and the three of them quickly went downstairs and came to the back door of the shop.

Zhao Mingding's mind moved slightly, and he used the dragon scale heart armor to protect his whole body, indicating that Zhang Bao would guard the door, and he and He Caishan would live in Lichong.

"Who?" Zhao Mingding suddenly pushed the door, touched the switch next to the door, turned on the indoor light, and under the light, a young man who was busy rummaging became panicked, looking at the figure, it seemed to be the drunk man by the river in the Tanzhou vegetable market last time.

Zhao Mingding didn't talk to him, his thoughts were everywhere, and Tianyan had already tied up the other party, no matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless.

In order not to disturb Le Yan, the place of interrogation was changed to a rental house. Through identification, everyone confirmed that this person was the drunk man who was by the river in the Tanzhou vegetable market last time, but no matter how he said it, he didn't say anything, insisting that he came to find someone and went to the wrong door. When I asked him his name, he didn't answer, and searched his body, but there was no one except more than 500 yuan, and he didn't bring his ID card.

Looking at his face, Zhao Mingding had a sense of déjà vu, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen him in the antique city in Dongguan, which was the time he met Peng Xiaoye. That day they took the white pebble to someone for identification, in the third shop on the right hand at the entrance of the antique city. At that time, this person was dusting the antiques on the Bogu shelf with a feather duster in the shop. Because this person is tall and magnificent, he took a second look, and sighed that it was a pity that this person was not a movie star but a buddy in an antique shop.

Seeing that this person was silent, Zhao Mingding had nothing to do, so he called Brother Hua and asked him to come over to deal with the matter, and at the same time, asked him to check the information of the third shop on the right hand at the entrance of Dongguan Antique City.

If you can run the monk to the temple, with his foothold, it will be easy to do, and you can follow the vine and touch the melon.

Because this matter is very important and may involve the new United Nations, Brother Hua personally came to mention the person, and promised that Zhao Mingding would be notified as soon as there was the latest news, and he had already ordered him to go down and strictly control the shop.

Brother Hua had just taken people away, and Zhao Mingding received a call from Yang Changsheng here: "Brother Jiu, are you free at noon?" Sister Yan wants to have lunch with you and introduce a few friends to you. ”

"Haha, you have to be free." Zhao Mingding smiled, "What kind of wind is this that blows you over today?" ”

"The hotel is about to open, Sister Yan came over to see the preliminary preparations." Yang Changsheng said, "At 12 noon today, I will try the skills of my own chef in the Chinese restaurant of my hotel. ”

"Okay, be on time!" Zhao Mingding replied.

"See you at noon." Yang Changsheng said and hung up the phone.

Since the renovation work of the hotel was completed ahead of schedule and the preliminary preparations were completed, He Chaoyan decided to open early.

After the phone call, the servants returned to Zhuhai, changed their clothes, and walked towards the hotel. He Caishan finished checking the security work, and called Jiang Qianli to inspect the hotel inside and out, and explained the work, and then came to the Chinese restaurant with Zhao Mingding and Zhang Bao, waiting for He Chaoyan's arrival.

Baiyan Hotel is one of the most luxurious seven-star hotels in Zhuhai, integrating accommodation, entertainment and commercial activities, and many chefs are directly recruited from high-end hotels abroad. Because food and beverage will be one of the main features of Baiyan Hotel, a high-end chef is a must.

To Zhao Mingding's surprise, the Chinese restaurant, which had originally placed tables and chairs, was empty at the moment, except for a large round table under the background wall at the end of the restaurant door, on which was a large disc that rotated automatically, and could seat about fifteen or sixteen people.

There were three young and beautiful waitresses who were setting up the tableware, and when they saw Zhao Mingding and his party coming in, they bowed down and said welcome, and one of them immediately made a pot of tea and brought it to the three of them.

"No, remove the tea first, and then brew it when the guests come." He Caishan waved his hand and turned to Zhao Mingding, "Brother Jiu, should we go to the door below to greet Sister Yan first?" ”

Zhao Mingding nodded, and the group of three walked downstairs. The Chinese restaurant is on the second floor, with a wide staircase spiraling down to the lobby.

The three of them just walked to the door of the hotel, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom also stopped steadily at the door, Yang Changsheng got down from the co-pilot, opened the back door of the car with his left hand, and protected the top with his right hand.

On the other side, the driver also opened the back door of the car and escorted the other lady out of the car.

The second car was dismounted by two men in their mid-thirties, one with an Asian face and the other with blonde hair and blue eyes.

The third car got out of the car with two young white men in their twenties.

The last car to get off was two Chinese in their twenties.

Zhao Mingding and He Chaoyan said hello, and took the lead from the stairs to the Chinese restaurant on the second floor.
