Siheyuan: Kill Han Qingkui, Tian Zao is entangled with me

Chapter 149: The Second Master of the Lou Family was kidnapped, and the target was Shibei Hutong
"I only know how to make noodles with soybean paste, and that's all I can do. But your spicy chicken is really good. I smelled something similar when I passed by a Sichuan restaurant."

"So you went to hang out somewhere again, huh?"

"We patrolmen can go anywhere. By the way, Chaoyang, let's get back to business. Do you want those books of mine? If you really want them, I'll sell them to you at a lower price."

"Look, the big boss is here, just send all those books here later!"

Lou Zhenhua immediately became interested and asked in detail about many related books.

"All of them are ancient books in Manchu? Aren't the audiences too small?"

"It is of great collection value. Don't be so ungrateful if you get a bargain. I can't fit it in my house, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get it at such a good price!"

"So it's Mr. Lou who's interested in it. Then..."

"According to the old rules, all the 50,000 copies will be taken away!"

After Zheng Chaoyang finished speaking, he clicked his tongue and blinked at Duomen, "This is the price I negotiated with him at the time."

"Okay, since you said so, I will definitely give Master Duo this honor. Master Duo, please send the things you want to sell to this address later."

Duomen's hands were shaking with excitement. How much would it cost to sell a book for 50,000?

How much noodles with soybean paste?

Soon, the dishes arrived, including several roast ducks.

"Officer Zheng, how do you eat this roast duck?"

"That's enough. It's all wasted if we can't eat it all."

"What does it have to do with you? Uncle Rengui is asking how to eat roast duck, so let's just eat it three times!"

"Got it!"

Peking duck, roast duck rack, duck liver jelly.

After being scolded by Zheng Chaoyang, Hao Pingchuan immediately picked up a roast duck and started eating it raw.

The guy in charge of slicing the duck felt a little embarrassed.

"Let him be! Give us more spring rolls. Since we are all in Sijiu City, let's try the local specialties."

"If I knew you were going to do this today, I would have to go to Quanjude!"

"Come on! The only authentic thing about Quanjude is its duck. Although it serves Shandong cuisine, it has both duck and noodles with soybean paste. After that, you can even listen to opera next door."

During the process, Lou Zhenhua and Zheng Chaoyang went to the bathroom one after another and handed over three brand new duck ticket books.

"When will your second child leave?"

"I think it will be soon. What's wrong?"

"The city is not safe these days. Let's go south to Hong Kong as soon as possible and set up the plate first. Once we deal with those foreigners, things will be much easier later."

"I know all this. The Lou family also has connections overseas. You found a good buyer for those booklets last time."

"It's considered as my investment capital. You know it would be troublesome if a large amount of money appeared around me."

"Then why do you need the ticket? If you really want to eat it, why don't you just mention my name when you pay the bill?"

Zheng Chaoyang smiled as he washed his hands, "These are baits. I have to throw some bait so that the big fish will take the bait."

Lou Zhenhua didn't want to interfere in his affairs, so he asked about his injury.

"By the way, if Director Luo or anyone else asks you about the bulletproof vest, you should admit it first, and then try to evade the question as much as possible."

"Bulletproof vests can also be made by my clothing factory, but the effect won't be that good."

Zheng Chaoyang lifted up his coat, revealing the bulletproof vest underneath.

"If you can really replicate it, I'd like to ask you for help."

"I need to know what material it is made of, right?"

"I'll go to your house later. There are too many people here."

When we returned to the private room, all the dishes on the table had been eaten up, leaving only some soup.

"Did you really make that cream stew yourself?"

"What? You don't believe it? Why is it gone?"

"Let them all eat it up!"

When I smelled the milky aroma coming from her, I knew that Bai Ling had eaten a lot of this stew.

As for the spicy diced chicken, they were all eaten by Algebra and Hao Pingchuan.

"Is that enough? If not, lick a few more dishes! Manager Suo!"

When Suo Qian arrived, he was followed by several waiters, holding trays with food boxes in their hands.

"Boss, I guess they didn't have enough to eat, so I left some food boxes for them to take back."

"Manager Suo thinks comprehensively and does a good job!"

Suo Qian was all smiles after receiving recognition from his big boss.

"Old Hao, please take the food boxes back and divide them up, and then let them get them themselves later."

"It's only a few steps back and forth. I'll send it back here after I'm done!"

Algebraic honesty said a few thanks, got on his bike and left first.

I spent my perfect Sunday moving to Bai Ling's new home.

"You guys go back first! I'm going to Mr. Lou's house to discuss something. Master Duo, you can pack up the stuff yourself and let Brother San take it to that address. Don't forget to pay Brother San for the car fare!"

"That's impossible. After such a good meal, how can I ask for taxi fare?"

"One thing is another. Since you are pulling a cart, you have to pay the price."

"How can I lose him? At worst I can just charge less rent next month."

Everyone laughed.

Bai Ling is now anxious to return to her residence, wanting to verify the effectiveness of the equipment.

He tied the bicycle to the back of the Lou family's car, sat on the back seat, and headed towards the Lou Mansion.

The car started to emit white smoke when it was halfway along the road.

"Misfortunes never come singly! Are there any tools in the trunk?"

"Can you repair cars?"

"How fresh! There are only a few auto repair shops in the city. If you don't learn some repair knowledge yourself, how long will it take to queue up?"

Lou Zhenhua got off the car and watched Zheng Chaoyang's performance with interest.

Lao Qian handed the toolbox from the trunk to him.

"Your Bentley is well maintained, but some of the wiring is aging. Are there any replacement parts available in China?"

"You really know him? Oh, I underestimated you!"

"Tsk, who are you looking down on? Qian Bo, start it and see!"

"Master, it's OK."

[The repeatable task has been completed, social car use has returned to normal levels, reward car repair and maintenance function, points +1500, (the task can be completed repeatedly, and the reward is randomly refreshed according to the result)]

"Next time your car breaks down, feel free to call me and I'll treat you. You know we have rules."

The two men got back into the car and headed towards Lou Mansion.

Hearing the sound, Tan Yali opened the iron gate and let the car in.

"Why so early today?"

"Zhenxing didn't come today?"

"Is he still working on his fried chicken recipe? I haven't seen him in a while."

"Mrs. Lou, I am here to bother you again."

"Officer Zheng, please come in! Do you need some coffee?"

"No, I came here after having a full meal. I'm sorry to have cost Mr. Lou money again."

When Zheng Chaoyang said this, Tan Yali just covered her mouth and laughed. She knew the ability of her husband's friend and also knew that he was joking.

In the study, Zheng Chaoyang seemed to hand the bulletproof vest he was wearing to Lou Zhenhua, but in fact he took out another one from the space.

"Just one?"

"Come on, do you think it's cabbage?"

"What if"

"There is no such thing as a last resort. I only know that there are several composite materials that can achieve bulletproof effects. One is nylon, one is graphene, or metal, which is heavier and lacks flexibility."

"I will try my best to analyze the material inside. It may take a long time."

"I can wait. At worst I won't take risks next time."

The two chatted a lot in the study. When Lou Zhenhua heard Zheng Chaoyang talking about the exciting parts, his palms were sweaty.

"So thrilling? You are really brave!"

"How many revolutionaries are timid? By the way, find a few trustworthy people to help me pull a cart of corn pulp back to Beijing."

"How much? A car? A truck? My goodness, are you getting rich? I'm sorry, I know you can't get rich in this business."

"Just count it as equity for me. Coincidentally, those guys hid a batch of this in a warehouse near Qinglong Bridge. It's just a dispensable thing for others, but for your pharmaceutical factory, it should be able to cure many lives, right? But you have to be careful, there's no guarantee that those unscrupulous businessmen won't find out about you."

"So this is why you asked me to send Xiao'e and the others to Hong Kong as soon as possible!"

"You are a person who doesn't listen to the whole story. No matter where you go, they will treat you well. No one can predict what will happen in the future. It is inevitable that the general will die in battle!"

"Are those cotton-padded clothes from Maozi enough? Do you want my clothing factory to fully produce cotton-padded clothes?"

"Then you can make it yellow like this. Prepare more fabric, maybe you will need to put some patches on it!"

After all, Lou Zhenhua is a professional, so he reported a long list of basic medicines.

"I inquired through existing channels and found that penicillin was blocked, just as you guessed."

"Don't be too pessimistic. Some people on the list of those who surrendered know a lot of the supplies that the Japanese left behind in some military bases in Hebei when they withdrew from the city."

"Even if there are drugs, they should have expired after such a long time, right? Are you addicted to cheating people? Just like when we cooperated to deal with the two tigers? It was okay once, but if I come forward the second time, those people will probably be alert and will not be fooled, right?"

"You reminded me. I have a way to get those unscrupulous merchants to buy our products. First, we can get some ill-gotten gains from them, and then find a way to buy some from Big Brother. It's like transferring goods from one hand to the other, and we won't lose anything!"

Lou Zhenhua was amused by Zheng Chaoyang's vivid explanation.

"Is there anything wrong with your second child?"

"I feel the same way. No matter how busy the store is, you shouldn't be away from home for several days, right?"

"You didn't receive any kidnapping phone calls or letters?"

"Don't scare me. He's already a grown man. If he's really kidnapped, I'm afraid the other party won't let him live."

"Contact me as soon as you have any news! I'm going back first."

Zheng Chaoyang rode his bicycle out of Xiehe Hutong, looked around, and when he didn't see anyone suspicious, he turned and went to the police station.

Tan Yali knocked on the door and entered Lou Zhenhua's study, holding an envelope in her hand and walking over with a nervous look on her face.

"What do you have in your hand?"

"The kidnappers sent it."

"What? Why didn't you take it out just now?"

"Take it out in front of Officer Zheng. What if those kidnappers hurt my second brother?"

"You are too clever for your own good! I'm going to go out for a while!"

The eldest wife came down from upstairs after hearing the noise. Seeing Tan Yali with a sad face, she asked the reason and shook her head. "Sister, do you think I did something wrong?"

"As a brother and sister-in-law, you are right. But Officer Zheng has a close relationship with the master, he is not an outsider!"

While driving to the Public Security Bureau, Lou Zhenhua caught up with Zheng Chaoyang who was riding a bicycle.

"Why? A letter?"

"In fact, he should have come a long time ago, my husband."

"show me."

Zheng Chaoyang took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, took the kidnapping letter, then took out a bottle of powder, sprinkled some on the surface of the envelope, blew it gently, and soon several groups of irregular fingerprints appeared.

In fact, he did this on purpose for Lou Zhenhua to see.

The white and green dialog boxes have proved that there are at least five sets of fingerprints on the envelope.

"You and your wife have both touched the envelope. Has anyone else touched it?"

"Probably not, or"

"Take me to Yandaixie Street. I'll ask my colleagues for help."

Letting Bai Ling get involved would make it more convincing.

"Oh, Mr. Lou, you came in person! I'll take out all those ancient books and antiques right away!"

"Master Duo, don't worry, take your time!"

Bai Ling opened the door and saw two people outside, and she knew something was wrong.

"It's only been a short while, what happened?"

"His brother is suspected to have been kidnapped. Take a look at this envelope and collect some suspicious fingerprints."

"You are quite conscious and even wore gloves."

There were all kinds of detection tools in the room, and five sets of fingerprints were collected quickly.

"You and your wife have had contact, so that means there are at least three sets of suspicious fingerprints on the envelope? Let me continue to open the letter and take a look!"

"Four sets of fingerprints were collected on the letter paper, and they matched exactly with those collected on the envelope."

"It means your wife has read the letter."

Is not this nonsensical?

How do you know it was sent by the kidnappers if you haven’t seen it?
"This kidnapper was very careful. He used words cut out from newspapers to piece together the words."

"Wait a minute!"

A golden conversation box suddenly appeared on the clipped papers.

"what happened?"

"It has a wonderful fragrance. Smell it!"

"Is this scent perfume?"

The only thing on Bai Ling's mind was the brand of perfume, and she was unable to understand what was going on for a while.

"No, no, no, it's not the scent of perfume. This scent is more like the scent of vanishing cream."

After all, he owns a pharmaceutical factory, so he is sensitive to fragrance.

“It’s still the scent of Pechoin!”

"I can't be sure what brand it is for the time being, but it's possible that Shanghai-branded vanishing creams like Pechoin are very popular in Beijing."

"You know so much!"

Bai Ling was speechless. It was rare to find a man who knew more than a woman like her.

"What kind of people often need to apply vanishing cream? It's obvious that the kidnapper only thought about not leaving handwriting but ignored the smell."

"She probably never thought that there are people in the Public Security Bureau with a sharper nose than a dog!"

"If you want to call me a dog-nosed man, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"So, we have basically got the profile of the kidnapper: a female, between 25 and 30 years old, and a hands-on professional."

"There are quite a few people in the city who can afford Pechoin. At present, it seems that there are several professions. However, according to your second son's fickleness, the most likely ones are medical staff, and nurses are the most likely among them."

"I've said it before, this guy will die on a woman's belly sooner or later. There are so many hospitals in the whole city, both public and private, and so many nurses, how can we find one?"

Zheng Chaoyang suddenly thought of Nan Yi and Lao Yuan who were poached by Lou Zhenxing, "Where are the two cooks poached by your brother now?"

"Not far from here, Nanchizi Street!"

Bai Ling carried the toolbox on her back and followed the two men out of the room, where she saw several people stuffing ancient books and antiques into the trunk of a car.

"Master Duo, are all the antiques real?"

"How could it be false? They were all confiscated when my grandfather was alive."

"Then take these first. There's no more room. Send the rest to that address and someone will settle the bill with you. I'll count these books."

"Mr. Lou, you are open-minded. I can't be so ignorant. Just give me one million for these!"

Without thinking, Lou Zhenhua opened the glove cabinet, took out a small yellow croaker and handed it to Duomen.

"Oh, it won't take that much!"

"Master Duo, you too, where can you get someone to give you a million in cash? Take it first, and return the excess and make up the shortfall. Don't you have a bunch of junk? Keep an account first! We have something else to do, so we'll leave first! I'll leave my bicycle in your yard first, it's a public property, don't lose it."

"It can't be lost! If it's placed in our yard, who dares to take it away?"

The person who spoke was Geng San, who is now a senior figure and the vice chairman of the trade union.

Looking at the heavy small yellow croaker in his hand, Duomen fell into deep thought.

Should I collect it or not?

“Is one million too much?”

"It's not much, a senior technician can earn hundreds of thousands a month nowadays. The key is that these are good things! People in Liulichang don't know the value of things, but he is Mr. Lou!"

"Well, that makes sense. Then I'll keep it first, and I'll refund the extra money and make up the extra money!"

Zheng Chaoyang: Just those two volumes of "Elements of Geometry" are worth more than a hundred large yellow croakers!
When Lou Zhenhua drove to Nanchizi Street, he saw a long queue outside that little-known fried chicken shop.

The kitchen was bustling with activity and Nan Yi's body was soaked with sweat.

"Nan Yi, hurry up, there's no place to sit outside!"

"Master, it's too hot here! Why do so many people in this city like to eat fried chicken?"

"I didn't understand it clearly. I said that it's understandable to spend a few dollars on roast duck, but it's incomprehensible to spend money on fried chicken!"

"Master Yuan, are you still not done? There's a long line outside again!"

The shopkeeper came to the kitchen personally to urge the order.

"Shopkeeper, the big boss is here, he's outside!"

Whatever you do, you will get. The shopkeeper dare not complain to the boss because the business is just too good.

It’s almost catching up with Bian Yi Fang.

If Bian Yi Fang wasn’t located in Chongwenmen, the shopkeeper there would have been slapped in the face.

At first, this shop only did takeout, but now it is simply too busy to handle the workload.

It will take a long time for the guy to go out and deliver the food.

Zheng Chaoyang smelled the smell of fireworks as soon as he got off the car. "That's the smell. Nan Yi is really good!"

"My brother has been kidnapped, and you still have the mind to drool?"

“Does this store have chicken tickets?”

"You can come anytime you want to eat. Why do you need a ticket? Are you trying to smear me?"

The shopkeeper came out, bowing politely with both hands.

"How long has it been since Zhenxing returned to the store?"

"Oh, he hasn't come these days. I thought something happened at home!"

Then he saw Nan Yi and a few apprentices who were older than him coming out with golden fried chicken nuggets sprinkled with secret powder. The aroma filled the air, attracting more people.

"Master Nan, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

"Boss, I don't deserve it. If you have anything to say, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

I didn't dare to look at Zheng Chaoyang and Bai Ling from beginning to end.

"Zhenxing, when was the last time you saw him? Was there anyone with him?"

"Come to think of it, the boss hasn't been in the store for a few days. Last time, he asked the shop assistants to deliver food to Bada Hutong. I'll go back and ask where they delivered it!"

Soon, Nan Yi got a ticket (a ticket for door-to-door service) in his hand.

"Shibei Hutong? It really is the Eight Great Hutongs! This brat!"

"Hey, that's not right! Almost all of the Eight Great Hutongs have been banned, how come they are still there?"

"Those are all secret brothels, not open ones. Otherwise, where did the ticket come from? That doesn't make sense! If there was a ticket, shouldn't they have been sent to Shibei Hutong?"

"You know so much!"

"I am just speaking the truth, please don't accuse a good person!"

Lou Zhenhua was amused by the conversation between the two people. It was such a late hour and they were still bickering.

"Alright, alright, now that we have a clue, go back and wait for news! Go back with him, and if the kidnappers send us more news, you can notify the bureau immediately. What are you looking at? What is Shibei Hutong? Do you want to go and have a look?"

Bai Ling spat and got into Lou Zhenhua's car.

"Master Nan, pack me a portion to take away!"

He quickly picked up a portion of fried chicken and went to find the food box.

"No, no, just wrap it in oil paper and I'll take care of it on the way. Aside from sprinkling powder, is there no other dipping water these days?"

"The boss is also having a headache about this matter!"

"Then, ask your boss to send someone to the grocery street over in Longxugou to find a Mingyuan pickle restaurant and say that Officer Sun pushed you in. Maybe you can get a cheaper price."

Nan Yileng said that the Lou family's reputation was much more famous than that of the police, but after listening to his master talk about the ways of the world, his previously prickly personality had become much smoother.

[Side quest has been activated, find the missing Lou Zhenxing, you must survive]

[Known clues: three groups of unknown fingerprints on the kidnapping letter, the scent of vanishing cream on the kidnapping letter, (medical staff, brothel girls, etc.) to be confirmed, a ticket to Shibei Hutong]

Walking into Xinhuamen on foot is Shibei Hutong.

His police uniform was too eye-catching, so he had already changed his clothes.

"Sir, come in and play!"

"The stone tablet is right here! Is your boss here?"

"Hey, sir, what's the point of looking for our boss? Sister has delicious food here!"

"Get out of the way and get your boss out!"

The prostitute outside the door had never seen such a ferocious man before. She went in and started shouting and yelling. Suddenly, several thugs in black clothes and black pants rushed out.
