Seeing a child sleeping in the back room, Jiang Xinyu motioned for Chunfang to go in, then gently closed the door, turned around and said, "Second son, let's make this short, where is He Yunjian?"
Erlaizi's eyes dodge: "Who is He Yunjian, I don't know..."
Zhang Jinbiao carried the kitchen knife, walked over and pulled Er Laizi's collar, pressed his hand on the table, and said: "I'll count three. If you still don't tell the truth, pick one with your finger!"
Erlaizi was so frightened that he kept saying: "Brother Biao, brother Biao, don't be serious, we usually don't look up to see each other..."
"Do you know He Yunjian?"
"……know."
"Isn't it settled now? Just say whatever I ask you. Don't toast me and you'll be punished with a drink!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Jiang Xinyu said: "He Yunjian came to see you, right?"
Erlaizi shook his head like a rattle: "No, absolutely not... I have known him for two years. That year, during the opening ceremony of Chaoyin Temple, He Yunjian lived in the temple at that time. Later, I often gave him cigarettes.
Once we go back and forth, we'll become familiar with each other."
"Since He Yunjian didn't look for you, why were you running around when you were in Er'er Eye Alley?"
"I thought it was smuggling..."
"Second son, you are dishonest."
"Officer, I am telling the truth. What do you think, He Yunjian is a big shot, what can he do to me?"
"Open the box."
"ah?"
"Open the box!"
Seeing that the second son was hesitating, Zhang Jinbiao raised his kitchen knife and tried to split the rattan box open.
Erlaizi said quickly: "Brother Biao, don't bother, I have the key."
"Hurry up!" Zhang Jinbiao shouted.
Er Laizi took out the key and opened the rattan box. Inside was a few changes of clothes, a copper-tipped cigarette gun and a few pieces of tobacco.
Zhang Jinbiao picked up the pipe and looked at it, then threw it back into the box and said, "Second son, if you can quit this thing, just quit it. Even if you have a mountain of gold at home, you will be able to smoke it out sooner or later."
Erlaizi accompanied him with a smile and agreed submissively.
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment, walked over and tried the weight of the box, and said, "Biaozi, cut the bottom of the box open!"
"Officer, officer, I'll do it myself..." Erlaizi thought to himself, now the secret was exposed, and his little trick didn't get through.
He knelt down and pressed the mechanism at the bottom of the box. There was actually a finger-width interlayer at the bottom of the box, with a row of sealed silver coins stacked inside. The gaps were plugged with soft cloth all around.
Zhang Jinbiao said in surprise: "Second son, you have made great progress. You even know how to build a mezzanine. I almost capsized in the gutter."
Erlaizi said with a sad face: "Officer, this is all the wealth I have saved over the years. Please be kind and let me go... I still have an eighty-year-old mother and father at home..."
Zhang Jinbiao said: "It's full of nonsense. I just saw your mother. If she were eighty years old, I would jump headfirst into the Baihe River!"
Jiang Xinyu bent down and took out an envelope of silver coins, opened the seal and looked at it. He threw the silver coins heavily on the table and shouted: "Second son, don't be so shameless. How dare you say that He Yunjian didn't find you and treat me like a fool?"
It’s a monkey show, isn’t it!”
Erlaizi defended himself and said: "Police officer, I have made a lot of money in the black market in the past few years. This money is indeed mine..."
Jiang Xinyu took a silver dollar and raised it in his hand, pointing to the words "Yunnan Mint" on it, and said, "Do you know what this means?"
Erlaizi shook his head and muttered: "I, I don't know how to read..."
Zhang Jinbiao had never seen this kind of silver dollar before, so he couldn't help but ask: "Captain Jiang, what kind of money is this? It seems different from normal silver coins."
Jiang Xinyu said: "This is a silver dollar cast in Yunnan. Because the silver content is only half of the normal silver dollar, it is also called half-open. This kind of money is rarely seen in the north. Erlaizi, tell me, so many
Half open, where did you get it?"
Even in the coldest month of winter, cold sweat broke out on Erlaizi's forehead. He did not dare to hide it anymore and said: "He Yunjian gave me all this money..."
Jiang Xinyu said: "He gave you so much money, is he planning to sneak to Japan?"
Erlaizi was surprised: "You, you already knew?"
"With all your evil intentions, do you still want to get into trouble in front of Captain Jiang? I advise you to give up this intention as soon as possible!" Zhang Jinbiao was shouting at the side. Rather than scolding the second-timer, he was
He said he was flattering Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu had already guessed that due to safety considerations, the probability of He Yunjian going to the Northeast was very low. He would most likely go to sea from Yanjin.
He Yunjian was unfamiliar with the place in Yanjin, and the only people he could find were second-guessing sons.
Erlaizi didn't have any other skills, so it was easy to help him contact the stowaway boat. After all, he had been hanging out in Yanjin for so many years and knew one or two prominent gang members.
The price, time and place were agreed upon, so there was no second-guessing involved, and he received a generous remuneration from it.
During He Yunjian's escape trip, in addition to gold bars and U.S. dollars, he also brought a large number of unopened half-opened national currencies. Even though they were heavy and inconvenient to carry, they were still a lot of national currency that was as useless as paper.
Er Laizi knew very well that He Yunjian suddenly smuggled himself to Japan. He could guess without asking that he must have committed a big case in Yunnan.
Therefore, he did not dare to go to the black market to exchange silver coins in the past few days. Instead, he made a rattan box with a mezzanine and hid the silver coins in the mezzanine. He planned to wait until the news passed to see the situation.
"Where is He Yunjian now?" Jiang Xinyu asked.
"He didn't tell me, and it's not convenient for me to ask..." Erlaizi felt extremely depressed, thinking that he was in bad luck this time. Not only was he in trouble, but he would also have to go to jail for a few years.
"When will he get on the ship?" Jiang Xinyu continued to ask.
"Tomorrow night at eight o'clock."
"where?"
"Pier 8."
"Pier 8? That's the Golden Tiger's territory..." Jiang Xinyu said to himself.
Zhang Jinbiao said from the side: "Captain Jiang, I have also received news recently. Golden Tiger is active at Pier 8, and sometimes there are ships going out to sea in the middle of the night."
Jiang Xinyu frowned: "The Marine Police investigates Pier 8 very strictly, and the Inspection Office also conducts surprise inspections from time to time. Golden Tiger is too courageous and does not take the law enforcement officers seriously... Second son, if
If you dare to lie to me, just wait to die in prison!"
Erlaizi's eyes lit up. He sensed a glimmer of hope from Jiang Xinyu's words and hurriedly said: "Officer, if you can let me go, I, I will repay you by being a cow and a horse in my next life!"
Jiang Xinyu looked at him and said: "For the sake of your filial piety, I will not pursue it. However, these silver coins will be confiscated."
Erlaizi was stunned for a while, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and said: "You mean, let me go?"
"You can say that."
"Officer, I, I..." Erlaizi was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he finally choked out: "How about I give you a blow?"
Jiang Xinyu stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You can skip the kowtow. The reason why I let you go is because I don't want to see your parents left without care. Do you understand?"
Erlaizi said repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."
"In addition, you cannot leave this house before eight o'clock tomorrow night... Biaozi, please work hard these two days and watch him here." Jiang Xinyu turned around and said to Zhang Jinbiao.
Zhang Jinbiao knew that Jiang Xinyu's purpose in doing this was to worry that his son would tip off He Yunjian. Although the probability was negligible, he must be cautious.
