Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 35

"Help save tickets?" Sun Kecheng, the old shopkeeper of Qiwei Escort, rolled his eyes a few times, staring at Sun Chang who came to invite him.

Sun Chang, the child, is said to be his nephew and has a little relationship with him, but he is too straightforward to be liked by others.After being exiled in Guangzhou, he simply went to be a servant of others, and he often felt a little regretful—it was a pity that his effort was wasted.

He wanted to find a job for him in the security agency, but the market of the security agency has been bad these years, and the business is not as good as before.Escorts are no different from other businesses. Adding people and mouths is nothing more than a pair of chopsticks. The business of Escorts is a radish and a pit. Only people who have business will have people. If there is more business, people will be added. Adding people will increase expenses, and there will be no great profit. .If there is little business, there will be no layoffs, and everyone has to work hard and work hard together.Business is not good, so naturally there is no way to add people.

"Yes, my master invites you to go over and discuss."

Sun Kecheng was a little fuzzy, he remembered that Sun Chang worked as an errand for the wealthy businessman Gao Gao on Haopan Street.This Mr. Gao is also a figure with all-hands and eyes in the city of Guangzhou. He has been attacked by bandits who do not invite official figures. What do you ask them to do?

When it comes to saving tickets, the Escort Bureau is not very interested.The relationship between the Escort Bureau and the bandits is based on peace, emphasizing "spring" and "making friends". They are not happy to chop and kill.Going to save tickets is tantamount to snatching food by wolf's mouth-the gangsters who dare to kidnap tickets in this majestic provincial capital are not ordinary young people-it is a life-and-death fight at every turn, and no matter whether you succeed or fail, as long as you intervene After revealing his identity, he formed a bond with the bandit.

But the situation is not good right now.Since the first year of the apocalypse, chaos has gradually arisen everywhere, and the road of escorts has become more and more difficult.Income decreases.There are hundreds of people in the bureau...

After much deliberation, he finally agreed to the deal.One is that this business can relieve most of the economic situation of the Escort, and the other is that the nephew said that his new owner is an Australian maritime merchant—this made shopkeeper Sun interested—Australian products have recently become famous.This group of maritime merchants is not only rich but also generous to others, and he is also specially allowed to return to his original surname. He is a gentleman of benevolence and righteousness.You have to help with this for love and profit.

Xiao Zishan and Ran Yao looked suspiciously at the treasurer of the Qiwei Escort that Sun Chang strongly recommended—they thought he must be a burly man with a beard, like a character in a martial arts movie, but unexpectedly he was an old man. Wearing a silk scarf and a four-span shirt, he is no different from ordinary people walking on the street.Although he walked steadily, he did not look like a martial arts hero.

But right now they urgently need someone to inquire about the news. Although Gao Di has volunteered to go out, no one dares to put all their hopes on the children.Immediately, I told the story of what happened and the results of the survey.

After listening to Xiao Zishan's introduction and the conclusion of the survey, Sun Kecheng nodded:

"My lord, there are tall people here."

"We are not familiar with the place and the situation in this city, so we have to ask shopkeeper Sun for help."

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Sun Kecheng nodded with a smile, "Sun Chang is highly regarded by you. Based on this, the Qiwei Escort Bureau has to help."

"What do you think of Shopkeeper Sun?"

"Didn't this Master Ran say that there is a person who is barefoot. In the city of Guangzhou, even if the villagers from the four townships go to the city, no matter how poor they are, they have to wear a pair of clogs and sandals. There is only one kind of person who is always barefoot regardless of the season. People - Dan family."

"Dan family?" Xiao Zishan seems to have heard this saying, it seems to belong to a kind of ancient untouchables.

"Exactly. Masters don't know the Danjia?" Sun Kecheng explained that the so-called Danjia, also known as "egg households", are water dwellers distributed in coastal harbors and inland rivers in the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi. "The survivors live in boats and fish, and they know there are dragons by distinguishing the color of the water. They were called Longhu in the past, and the people of Qi called it 'Danjia'".

"Is it a fisherman?"

Sun Kecheng said: "Although the Dan family makes a living on the water, some of them are fishermen. But not all the fishermen are from the Dan family." He explained that the Dan family does all kinds of business on the water, and there are them almost everywhere at the forks of the Pearl River. ship.

The Dan family members were among the kidnappers, so this matter is much clearer.It is very likely that Mr. Wen was hidden on a certain boat on the water. This is Nancheng, and the Pearl River is just over the city wall.As long as the bandits get on the boat, they will have a bright future.Moreover, the Dan family is a very closed social group with different dialects and customs from those on the land. It is difficult for people who are not familiar with them to get news.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but their hearts sank.This is not good.

"There are not tens of thousands of boats on this water, but thousands of them. It would take a month to investigate." Ran Yao became distressed, forgetting that he had no right to investigate in this time and space.

"Masters don't need to be depressed. Things are not that difficult. Although the Dan family and the people on the land have never been in touch with each other and are hostile to each other, they will not be the instigators of the kidnapping. It should be colluded by bandits from outside. The water prostitutes on the flower boats. This kind of prostitutes often do some illegal activities-the suffocating fragrance is not a common thing in the rivers and lakes, but it seems to be used by the water prostitutes to steal people's money."

He smiled confidently: "Master Wen should be on that flower boat."

"Where are the flower boats moored?"

"Most of the Dan family's flower boats are in the Baie Lake area of ​​Shicui Island. When I go back next time, I will send escorts out to inquire. There are a few things that I will explain clearly to you. Don't be afraid."

The first is to avoid reporting to the officials. Although a single post can mobilize the police in one prefecture and two counties in Guangzhou based on Master Gao's face, but these people are villains themselves, and fat sheep will come to your door. Silver will not have any action.Maybe they will collude with bandits.

The second is not to arrest messengers. This kind of people are either beggars found on the street temporarily, or ordinary gangsters.

"In the end, don't act rashly. They must have eyeliners around the mansion. But these eyeliners are also recruited helpers, and they won't find anything out of investigation."

After sending shopkeeper Sun away, everyone discussed that waiting for news like this is not an option.Fortunately, the other party intends to pay for the ransom, so letters from both parties will inevitably be delivered—this is a clue leading to the kidnappers.Although it is not possible to track in the city of Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, modern technology control and defense are no problem.At present, cameras are installed everywhere in the courtyard, and a monitoring host is set up in the courtyard, powered by several sets of batteries. 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring of the surrounding area.Lin Shenhe walked around along the road, and installed several wireless cameras on the roof of the front yard to monitor the street.He put on a camouflage jumper himself, took binoculars, night vision goggles, walkie-talkie and rifle to the only big tree in the yard, built a bunk among the dense branches, and took turns with Bei Wei on duty, ready to respond at any time.

Ran Yao changed into the servant's clothes, with a DV around his waist, led by Zhao Chang, and walked back and forth around Haopan Street.

"I found the follower!" When he came back, he put the DV on the table and said.

Everyone cheered up and quickly gathered around.

"There are four people who are following." Ran Yao turned on the DV to show everyone, "Look here," he pointed at the peddler on the screen, "absent-minded, his eyes have been peeking at the gate of Gao Ju's house.

"Here, even though he is dressed as a Huazi, he doesn't beg for food in the busy street, but hides in the alley of Gaoju's corner gate.

"This is the gate to watch over here.

"And this one—the ones drinking tea alone in the teahouse are probably the leaders. They may have one or two people as maneuvers to report the news at any time. Let's print out the photos of these people first, and each has a copy."

"it is good!"

"Do you want to capture them?"

"Most of these people are peripheral elements, not necessarily familiar with the situation."

"It would be nice to be able to follow up. The boss should meet and contact the leaders inside."

"Possibly. Too bad I can't track it."

"How about putting a wireless beacon on him?"

"Then it's better to just put the wireless beacon in the ransom. You can go straight to the lair."

"Theoretically yes. We don't have a map or GPS here, so we can't make precise positioning based on the signal. We can only use radio direction finding to roughly locate the location. The terrain is too complicated."

"The point is that there is no map."

"There should be maps in the Ming Dynasty, right? Ask someone to buy some."

"Sun Chang bought one back, but this map... is really useless." The map drawing method in the Ming Dynasty was still quite primitive, and it was roughly at this time that modern cartography was introduced to China by Matteo Ricci.

"But it's also a plan. Who knows radio direction finding?"

"I can do it." Bei Wei said.

"Then it's up to you."

"It's best if we can find out the place, and we'll kill them directly to save people."

"It's not a big problem. According to the meaning of the shopkeeper Sun, it seems that he can find his whereabouts in a few days."

"I don't know how Mr. Wen is doing now."

Shopkeeper Sun returned to the Escort, drank several pots of strong tea, and thought for a while.He patted his chest at the Australian maritime merchant, and he already had seven or eight confidence in his heart.It was a certainty that there was a prostitute on the water. Even if the Australian policeman Ran didn't mention the barefoot footprints, the smell in the house also told him this.But how to check it is a little bit of thinking-the rules of the bodyguard bureau are not to set foot in a romantic place like a brothel and a flower boat.Not familiar with the heads inside.

Fortunately, the food supply of the flower boat still needs to rely on the merchants on land.From the mouths of those small traders who specialize in the sale of flower boats, they must know something.Needless to say, if one more person on the boat comes out, the food will increase a lot.

Immediately, a few bodyguards were called over, and they were divided into two groups, one group pretended to be traveling merchants to make unannounced visits, and the other group asked familiar traders.After giving such orders, he also ordered:

"You should pay attention to find out if there are any boats that have chartered guests recently, or which boats suddenly stop taking guests."

The area on the flower boat is very small, it is impossible to pick up passengers while hiding tickets.

As long as the location of the ticket collection is found out, it is not difficult to save the ticket.Shopkeeper Sun used to save tickets for several old customers. He knew that the kidnappers were unlikely to be with the meat tickets. Most of the people who read the tickets were young people. In case the place is cracked by the government, I will not die with jade.

But Na Ran quickly said: The main job of the bodyguard bureau is to inquire about news, as for what to do in the end, it is up to them to decide.
