Tian Jinguang’s reputation as the telegraph king of Yuen Long District is not earned for nothing.
In this era when information was scarce and communications basically relied on newspapers and postmen, Tian Jinguang got the information he wanted in just a few days.
This all depends on the network he compiled in Hong Kong City.
Every node on this network is an ordinary person who seems to be ordinary and very inconspicuous around all of us.
Tian Jinguang calls these people "informants".
Through these informants, he can easily know the news he wants to know, or let others know the news he wants others to know.
This is one of the reasons for Tian Jinguang's success.
At this moment, informants gathered the information.
After careful screening, the housekeeper Zhang Guangzhong presented the information to Tian Jinguang.
"There are nine districts in the New Territories. After preliminary screening, there are twelve businessmen named Lou in the New Territories... In addition, we combined with other requirements you raised, and finally found that only three people met the conditions." p>
Tian Jinguang frowned.
"Three people?"
Zhang Guangzhong said: "Yes, this is the information of the three of them. Please take a look."
Tian Jinguang took the information handed over by Zhang Guangzhong.
These three businessmen surnamed Lou are named Lou Xiangyang, Lou Yutang and Lou Bancheng. Their businesses involve real estate, grain stores, hardware and other sectors, and they all have quite a reputation in the local area.
Coincidentally, the ancestors of these three people are all from the Yunnan-Guizhou generation, and they have only come to Hong Kong City for development in recent years.
The only difference is.
One of them, Lou Bancheng, seems to have offended Inspector Hua and is wanted by the police superintendent of Hong Kong City all over the world.
Tian Jinguang glanced at his mouth.
There was a feeling of gloating in my heart.
This guy is so unlucky that he offended Inspector Hua.
You must know that Detective Hua and those people are evil wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones.
If you are targeted by them, it will be easy to destroy your family and life.
Tian Jinguang casually threw Lou Bancheng's information aside.
How could my nobleman be a wanted criminal?
This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with expensive.
Tian Jinguang then looked at the other two documents.
Lost in thought.
So...
Who is the destined person that Master Cao mentioned?
Tian Jinguang put the remaining two pieces of information on the table, really not knowing how to choose.
How about inviting both of them here?
While I was thinking about it, an unknown gust of wind suddenly blew by, blowing these two documents to the ground, leaving only Lou Bancheng's information on the table.
Zhang Guangzhong immediately walked over, picked up the information, and put it back on the table.
Tian Jinguang smiled.
But soon, the smile on his face stiffened.
Because another unknown gust of wind blew past, blowing these two pieces of information down again, and the landing point was farther than before.
Zhang Guangzhong quickly bent down to pick it up.
But these two pieces of information slipped from his hands again.
It was as if an invisible hand was carefully taking the information away from him.
"It's really strange, there is no wind in the room."
Zhang Guangzhong even choked.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Tian Jinguang's mind, and he suddenly had an enlightenment.
"Wait."
Tian Jinguang called to Zhang Guangzhong.
Zhang Guangzhong shivered violently and looked at Tian Jinguang with some confusion.
Tian Jinguang picked up Lou Bancheng's information on the table and said.
"I know who the destined person is, Guang Zhong. I want to know the whereabouts of Mr. Lou Bancheng within twenty-four hours."
Zhang Guangzhong said quickly.
"I understand, boss, I'll make arrangements right away."
Meow!
At this moment, a long cat meow sounded in the room.
The strange thing is.
The two people in the room didn't seem to hear...
.......
It's night.
The moon and stars are rare.
A cloud flew in from nowhere, covering the bright moon and casting a shadow on the earth.
Under the shadow, there is a bustling, bustling street with bright lights and bustling people.
This is Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po District, Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong City.
Speaking of which, Sham Shui Po District is one of the earliest development areas in Hong Kong City, and is also an industrial, commercial and transportation hub. Apliu Street is the most famous trading market in the local city, with its unique form of street stalls.
Harbor City.
Walking on the street, you can see vendors setting up street stalls everywhere.
Cao Weidong took Shi Man into Yaliu Street.
Shi Man looked at the crowd around him and said doubtfully.
"Boss, is Mr. Lou hiding here?"
Cao Weidong said firmly.
"Yes."
Shi Man didn't know why Cao Weidong was so sure.
He looked at the crowd on the left and right and shook his head.
Because in his impression, anyone who has committed a crime and is wanted by the housekeeper would like to hide in an inaccessible ravine.
Who would have thought that half of Lou City would be hidden in such a bustling street.
Cao Weidong smiled and explained.
"The small one is hidden in the wild, the middle one is hidden in the city, and the big one is hidden in the court. This is the wisdom of Lou Bancheng."
During the conversation, the two of them had gone deep into Apliu Street.
The goods on Apliu Street are extremely weird. They are all second-hand items such as old clothes and shoes, old woolen dolls, old books and toys.
Cao Weidong led Shi Man through each stall, and finally stopped in front of a stall.
This stall is not large, with a rag spread on the floor and some second-hand clothes on it.
Because it is relatively inside, there are very few customers here.
The stall owner was wearing a big-brimmed hat, squatting on a small stool with the brim of his hat held low, smoking a cigarette. When he saw some customers stopping, he didn't say hello, as if he was too lazy to attract customers.
Cao Weidong knelt down and pointed at a second-hand shirt.
"How much does this dress cost, boss?"
The stall owner said hummingly.
"Five tycoons."
Five cents of Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to five cents of RMB.
Of course.
The two are just numerically equivalent. At the exchange rate in this era, the value of Wuhao Hong Kong dollars is much higher than that of China.
Cao Weidong smiled.
"The quality of these clothes is quite good. I want them. Do you have any more here?"
The stall owner didn't even raise his head.
"It's gone now. If you want it, I'll bring a few more over tomorrow. One price per item, no credit."
Cao Weidong smiled and handed over a Hong Kong dollar with a face value of 100 yuan.
"Boss Lou, I'll give you a deposit of 100, how about you take me to the warehouse and take a look at it, and I'll charge you as much as you have?"
When the stall owner heard what Cao Weidong said, he stood up like a frightened deer.
I didn’t tell the other person what my last name was.
How did this guest know his surname was Lou?
The stall owner looked up.
Suddenly I was stunned.
"You...are you Cao Weidong?"
This is his cheap son-in-law, who caused his own daughter to have a baby before we were married. How could he forget it?
Cao Weidong smiled, his tone as calm as ever.
"Uncle Lou, business cannot be done with justice, why are you so excited?"
The owner of the stall is none other than Lou Bancheng, who is wanted all over the world.
He had mixed feelings in his heart, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.
Cao Weidong blinked and reminded.
"Uncle Lou, where is your goods? Take me to see them. I really want them."
Lou Bancheng immediately woke up.
Cao Weidong is reminding himself.
This is a market, so it’s not convenient to speak.
Lou Bancheng immediately adjusted his mood and said.
"Guest, everything is at my rental place. Come with me."
As he spoke, Lou Bancheng rolled up the baggage on the ground, carried it on his body quickly, and led Cao Weidong deeper into the street.
Cao Weidong was excited.
I am finally going to see Lou Xiao'e again.
Of course, he also has his only flesh and blood in this world.
