When getting on the bus, Luo Qiwei paid special attention to the woman and found that by the time she got on the bus, eight people had already contacted her.
They communicated through eyes and gestures, but their movements were very subtle. If Luo Qiwei hadn't been staring at her, he wouldn't have noticed.
If Luo Qiwei hadn't completed such a course not long ago, he wouldn't have known that the eight men who entered the carriage first were actually this woman's subordinates.
This interests Luo Qiwei even more...
What Luo Qiwei didn't expect was that while he was eyeing this woman, she was also eyeing him.
After the train started, the woman called one of the men who got on the train first, and whispered: "Go and keep an eye on the man who got on the No. 4 carriage not far from us. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."
"Hi, Major."
The woman called Major slapped the man in the face and lowered her voice and said: "You want to kill us? Didn't I tell you that from now on, call me Miss Xiao? If you call me wrong next time, you can kill yourself."
.”
The man was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Miss Xiao."
After the man left, Ms. Xiao, disguised as a college student, returned to her seat, took out a book and read through it.
The other seven men were in every corner of the carriage, protecting her...
Luo Qiwei found his seat and found that sitting opposite him was a man about fifty years old, wearing glasses. Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be in business.
Not long after he sat down, the man sitting opposite took out a business card and handed it to him and said: "I, Cao Tao, the shopkeeper of Yongxiang Medicine Store in Shanghai, went to Tianjin to purchase goods. Who are you?"
Luo Qiwei took the business card, glanced at it, put it in his clothes bag, took out the business card he had prepared earlier from his clothes pocket, handed it to Cao Tao and said: "Pan Xu, manager of Locke Commercial Bank, return to the Tianjin Concession."
Upon hearing that Luo Qiwei was from Locke Trading Company, Cao Tao immediately said with some respect: "You are really young and talented. Locke Trading Company is a big trading firm, and it is a foreign trading firm. It is easier than my small medicine shop."
"With the current situation in turmoil, joining a foreign trading firm is a helpless move."
"Yes, in this current situation, several friends who deal in medicinal materials have disappeared on the way, and the medicine shop has also been owned by others. To be honest, every time I travel, I am terrified."
"Who says it's not the case? We are just looking at the scenery."
As the two chatted, they were both very sad. Although they were dissatisfied with the current situation, they seemed to have no good solution.
Suddenly, Luo Qiwei's eyes narrowed, and while Cao Tao wasn't paying attention, he dropped the pen on the ground.
While he was squatting down to reduce his pen, he looked through the crowd and saw the man who had greeted the woman not long ago standing at the door of the carriage.
Although his eyes were looking outside, the corner of his eye was staring at him.
Cao Tao asked with some concern: "Mr. Pan, you dropped something, do you need help?"
Luo Qiwei picked up the pen on the ground, stood up, sat on his seat, and said with a smile: "The pen fell, no, it has been found."
As he spoke, he put the pen on his left hand.
Cao Tao stared at the pen for a while and said with some envy: "Mr. Pan, can you lend me the pen for me to look at?"
"What's wrong with this?" Luo Qiwei handed the pen to Cao Tao and said with a smile.
"It's indeed a Parker red ink pen. I've heard people talk about this pen, but I've never seen it before."
Hearing Cao Tao's praise, Luo Qiwei was a little at a loss. In his philosophy, isn't a pen just for writing?
However, this pen was given to him by Chen Dan when he left Peiping. After returning from Manchukuo, he kept this collection at the bottom of the box.
This time when he went to Tianjin, he might have to use his identity as Pan Xu, so he took out this hidden secret.
Now it seems that this collection is really valuable. In Cao Tao's words, the Parker pen alone cost 9 US dollars. It was also priceless and was known as the most expensive pen at the time.
After looking at it for a while, Cao Tao returned the pen to Luo Qiwei.
The two chatted all over the place. Cao Tao was in the medicinal material business, so they traveled all over the place and learned a lot about the customs and customs of various places.
As for Luo Qiwei, although he has not been to other places except a few limited places.
But in his previous life, he liked traveling very much, and it was not the kind of group travel, but self-driving travel.
The two were very good at chatting together, and soon they almost became friends.
The man who was monitoring Luo Qiwei walked around him several times. He also took advantage of the people around him to go to the toilet and sat in their seats to eavesdrop on the conversation.
He eavesdropped on many conversations, but to no avail. After three hours, he left the carriage.
In Car No. 3, the woman was reading a book. The man walked up to her and said softly: "Ms. Xiao, I found out, that man is Pan Xu, the manager of Locke Trading Company, and the man sitting opposite him is from Yongxiang Pharmaceutical Company."
Cao Tao."
"Did you hear clearly what the two of them were talking about?"
"My subordinate didn't pay attention to the conversation at the beginning, but after listening to it, the two of them basically talked about local customs and customs."
"That's it." The woman whose pseudonym was Xiao Ya frowned and said, "When he leaves later, I will take two people to look through his luggage. I always have an uneasy feeling in my heart."
"Yes, miss."
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the train continued to move forward. Cao Tao, who was sitting opposite, could no longer hold himself up and fell asleep leaning on the seat.
Luo Qiwei looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him. He took out a small string and tied it gently to the zipper of the suitcase.
Then he looked around and went to the restroom. After coming out of the restroom, he did not return to his seat, but walked towards the No. 3 carriage.
At this time, most people were drowsy. Luo Qiwei walked up to Xiao Ya, sat down opposite her, and said with a smile: "It's been a long journey, do you plan to pass the time like this?"
"Hey, the complete works of Shakespeare, this is my favorite book. Miss, can you borrow it for me to read?"
Xiao Ya burst out laughing: "Is this how you usually strike up conversations with girls?"
"The first time I saw the lady, I felt that the lady's temperament and this book were perfectly integrated."
"Although I know you are fooling me, I am still very happy. Let me lend you this book."
"By the way, my name is Xiao Ya, and I am a recent graduate from Hangzhou Women's College. What about you?"
"Pan Xu, manager of Locke Trading Company, Miss Xiao, do you mind if I watch here?"
As he said that, he picked up the book and started reading...
