"What a fool! Hangzhou is so big, how can I find it with just one name? This guy named Cao will really give me a hard time!"
As soon as he got into the car, Li Qiang couldn't help but complained and muttered to himself angrily.
Cheng, who was in charge of driving, started the car and asked, "Whose surname is Cao? Do you mean Director Cao?"
"Who else could he be besides him? He is the only one in the entire headquarters who has many things to do. Either he dislikes the poor food in the cafeteria, or his daily expenses are too high. It's good now that he wants me to help him find someone. Just look for him, and the result is only
I know a person’s name, but there are so many tangzi in Hangzhou, where can I go to find him?”
Before he finished speaking, Cheng immediately interrupted, "Wait a minute, did you just say that you are a concubine? Could it be that the woman he asked you to find is a concubine?"
"Yeah, how about it? It's outrageous enough, right?"
"It's more strange than outrageous." Acheng analyzed calmly, "I only know a person's name, age, and vague personal experience. It doesn't look like the elements used to find someone. On the contrary,
It’s a bit like a file record. In other words, what he’s looking for is most likely a relative of someone in the headquarters.”
Hearing this, an idea suddenly flashed in Li Qiang's mind, "What do you mean, that guy came up with the idea of looking for someone after seeing someone's file records?"
"Yes, after all, that guy has a photographic memory. This kind of thing is simply child's play for him."
"Who is the one?"
"It's hard to say. Don't forget that he is Wang Jingwei's man. If necessary, he can have access to everyone's files in the entire headquarters."
"Yes, that's why I have such a headache." At this point, Li Qiang shook his head, "Forget it, just take it one step at a time. Let's go to Wang Runxing!"
"knew."
The Wang Runxing in Li Qiang's mouth is Wang Runxing Restaurant, which originally opened near the train station and later moved to Qinghefang. It is famous for its "menban rice".
The so-called "door panel rice", as the name suggests, means eating on the door panel. Usually, stores use wooden boards as doors. During the day when the store is open, the door panels must be removed piece by piece from the door slot, and then put back again at night.
However, Wang Runxing's shopkeeper took a different approach and simply used the removed door panel as a dining table, with a row of benches next to it for diners to eat.
Of course, the main force who come here to eat "menban rice" are basically Kuhaha. Over time, this place has become a gathering place for the lowest level people in Hangzhou, including all religions and nine streams.
In Li Qiang's eyes, this is an excellent place to obtain information and the most authentic thoughts of the people at the bottom, so every two or three days, Li Qiang and Acheng will come here to sit, and they will sit here every time.
I left after the store closed.
"Hey! Bosses, why are you so early today?" As soon as they entered the door, they were recognized by the sharp-eyed waiter, who quickly greeted them with a smile on his face.
It's no wonder, after all, the two of them are one of the few well-dressed and respectable people in the store. In addition, they visit from time to time. Even though they have not been in Hangzhou for a long time, they have become half regular customers here.
Since they were regular customers, their treatment was naturally very different from that of ordinary patrons. Without the two of them opening their mouths, the waiter took the initiative to lead the two of them to the seats by the window, and then stood by with his hands down, waiting for their orders.
"As always, a plate of salted rice, a pot of Mulang tofu, a fried bell, and half a pound of Shaoxing old wine. Remember..."
However, before Cheng could finish his words, the waiter hurriedly said: "There are countless of them, and they need to be thin; add more pepper to the Mulang tofu to make it more flavourful; the bells need to be simmered for a while. You two have to wait for a while."
Wait, the food and drinks will be here soon!”
As evening approached, it was time for people to relax after a busy day, so it didn’t take long for the store to be full of people, and even the “door table” outside the store was full of people, changing glasses for a while.
The guests were playing guessing games, chatting and laughing with each other, and it was very lively inside and outside the store.
Li Qiang and Acheng, on the other hand, were quietly enjoying the delicacies on the table while paying careful attention to every topic discussed by the people around them.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, which successfully attracted the attention of the two people.
Looking around, I saw a gangster-looking guy staring at the waiter and shouting something loudly. Behind him stood a man in a black silk trousers and a top hat, holding a cigarette holder with his breasts exposed.
A fat-headed guy.
"Do you know each other?" Li Qiang asked calmly while picking up vegetables.
Ah Cheng, however, only glanced at it and immediately introduced him in detail: "Tell him what he is! Lei Huohu, the boss of the Tiger Gang, is very popular in this area..."
"Oh, really?" After listening to Acheng's introduction, Li Qiang rolled his eyes and thought of it, and then deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to Acheng to continue.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng immediately stood up and quietly left the restaurant, heading towards the nearest public phone booth...
"Damn you! We, Mr. Lei, come here to eat because we think highly of you, but how dare you ask us to wait outside? I think you don't want to continue this business, right?"
"Master, please calm down, little one..."
However, the man didn't buy it. He directly raised his hand to interrupt the man's words, pointed at his nose and said viciously: "Boy, let me say one more thing. I don't care whether you beg or rush, give it to us immediately.
Mr. Lei will give up your best seat, do you hear me? Otherwise, I will get angry and smash your bird shop, do you hear me?"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng's voice rang out, "Hey, who did I think was posing so loudly? It turns out to be Thunder Tiger!"
As soon as these words came out, the gangster who had made things difficult for the waiter immediately turned his finger on Acheng, holding his neck and scolding: "Damn you! You also called Mr. Lei by your name? I think you are tired of living...
…”
However, before the man could finish speaking, he was pulled behind him by the "Master Lei" behind him, and asked with a gloomy face: "Who are you?"
Acheng smiled and said, "You don't need to mention my name. It's just that my young master is rarely in the mood to visit today and I don't want anyone to disturb his interest. My young master said that if you come here for dinner sincerely, then he doesn't mind."
I’m sitting at the same table with you, but if you come here intentionally to cause trouble, just stay away, don’t toast me and you’ll be punished with a drink.”
"Hey, you damn..." Before he could finish his words, the gangster slapped Cheng hard on the face. Half of his face was suddenly swollen, making it difficult for him to speak.
Cheng lowered his face and said word for word: "If you dare to say another word, I will make you speechless for the rest of your life! Do you hear me?"
The gangster was obviously frightened by Acheng's appearance, and could only cover his face with his hands and look at his boss aggrievedly.
Seeing that his men were beaten, Thunder Tiger's face was naturally dull, so he narrowed his eyes and said to Acheng: "Brother, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. You make me lose face by doing this."
!”
"Then you can't blame me for this. The only fault is that you didn't manage your subordinates well. If you don't discipline them, of course someone will discipline them for you. Such an adult doesn't even understand the rules. Do you think I should be beaten?"
"you!"
However, at this moment, an even more arrogant voice rang out, "Why are you making a noise? This is a place for eating. If you want to make noise, go outside and stop making trouble here. I will arrest anyone who makes trouble. If you hear
No?"
As soon as he saw the visitor, Thunder Tiger suddenly seemed to be a different person, his smile turned into a flower, and he said flatteringly: "What a coincidence, Captain Lu! What kind of wind brought you here?"
I didn’t expect to meet you here, really…”
Speaking of this, Leihuhu quickly turned around and yelled at the waiter: "What are you looking at? Why don't you quickly let Captain Lu out of the private room? In addition, Captain Lu will remember all the money for today's meal."
I……"
However, before Lei Huhu finished speaking, Captain Lu waved his hand, "Brother Lei, you're welcome, I'm not here to eat."
"Captain Lu, you are here..."
"Captain I heard that someone was making trouble here, so I came over to take a look." Having said this, Captain Lu paused deliberately, then turned his attention to Lei Huhu, frowning and said, "No.
Is that you?"
"Lu...Captain Lu, you are really joking. How could it be me? I, Thunder Tiger, will not dare to cause trouble on your territory no matter how hard I try, right?"
"Well, that's pretty much it!" After saying that, Captain Lu turned his head and said politely to Acheng, "I'm sorry, Mr. Acheng, it's because of my lax management that some blind guys disturbed me.
Mr. Qiang’s elegance.”
Ah Cheng waved his hand quickly, "Captain Lu, there's no need to be like this. It's all a misunderstanding. Just let it go."
After saying that, Cheng lowered his voice and continued: "Our young master said that the latest batch of facial cream will arrive in two days, and I will personally deliver it to Madam."
"In that case, I will be disrespectful and thank you young master for me."
"must!"
"Let's go!" After saying that, Captain Lu gave the already dumbfounded Thunder Tiger a warning look, and then left the restaurant with satisfaction behind his back.
After a while, the waiter came over and said to Lei Huhu timidly: "...then...that...Master Lei, the private room has been vacated for you. How about you come with me first?"
past……"
Unexpectedly, Thunder Tiger just said, "Bring the wine!"
The guy couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, "Wha...what?"
"I asked you to bring me a glass of wine!"
Hearing this, the waiter realized what he was doing and quickly fetched a glass of wine and handed it to Lei Huhu's hand.
The thunder tiger took the wine glass and went straight to Li Qiang's table. He changed his arrogance and domineering attitude before and respectfully toasted him with a glass of wine, "Young Master A Qiang, it's my fault that I'm too young to see Taishan.
I almost disturbed your enjoyment, I'm sorry. I'm just punishing myself with a glass of wine. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he drank the glass of wine in his hand.
It was only then that Li Qiang finally put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said to him with a half-smile: "It's not bad. He is a person who knows current affairs. Sit down!"
"Thank you...Thank you, Master Aqiang."
"Lei Laohu, the boss of the Tiger Gang, has eighty-six men under his command, owns three gambling houses, two restaurants and a cigarette shop. In addition, he is the president of the dockworkers union. Am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, Lei Hu couldn't help being surprised, because what Li Qiang just said was exactly the same as his actual situation! And besides being shocked, Lei Hu couldn't help but feel a little scared, but fortunately
Just now, I was more cautious and didn't make the matter a big deal. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how I died.
"You can tell by the look on your face that you must have been tricked by me, right? Don't be afraid, I'm not deliberately investigating you, but I just have something to ask you for help. Are you willing?"
Lei Huhu nodded quickly and said: "Yes! Of course I am willing! Master Aqiang, if you need anything from me, just ask, I will never refuse."
"Very good, I want you to help find someone."
"who?"
"A woman named Ruoxian, about thirty years old, a native of Hangzhou, was once sold into a brothel."
As soon as he said these words, Thunder Tiger couldn't help but be startled, "Ruoxian...wait a minute, why have I heard this name somewhere?"
While Lei Huo was still muttering to himself, the subordinates on the side were the first to recall and cautiously reminded: "Boss, have you forgotten? Just two days ago, someone came to our hall.
Have you asked? It seems like this is the name?"
After hearing this, Lei Hu suddenly remembered, "You said two days ago? Ah, yes, yes, I remembered it, it seems that such a thing happened."
"What's the result?" Li Qiang asked quickly.
"Of course there is no result. It's not that easy to find someone with just a name and a photo from more than ten years ago!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang and Acheng immediately looked at each other, and then pretended to be nonchalant and nodded in agreement, "That's true, but Lei Hu, you are a smart man and you should be aware of telling lies.
consequences, right?"
"Of course... of course, you can rest assured. I can assure you that everything I said is true and there is absolutely no lie."
"Very good, I believe you, but don't blame me for not reminding you that this matter is of great importance. If I hear any rumors, I will be the first to ask you, did you hear it?"
"Listen...I heard it, I heard it. Don't worry, I will control my mouth and never dare to talk nonsense."
"It's okay if you don't dare!" Li Qiang stood up and said, "Tomorrow, at this time, come here to see me alone."
"Yes, yes, I must be on time, I must be on time..." Lei Laohu nodded quickly and said confidently.
Only then did Li Qiang leave the restaurant with Acheng with satisfaction.
…
"It seems that it's not just us, there are people looking for that woman, but who could it be?" Cheng couldn't help but said as soon as he got back to the car.
Li Qiang said with a mysterious face: "Nine times out of ten, he is the owner of that file. As for who it is, I think it won't be long before we know it! Let's drive, let's go to Qiuzhuang!"
