Seeing Yu Li walking over with a vegetable basket, the car door opened and a man in a navy blue tunic got out of the car, walked up to Yu Li and said, "Are you Miss Yu?"
"You are..." Yu Li didn't know this person.
"I, Zhang Lei, am from the plainclothes team of the police station."
"Are you a policeman?"
"Yes." Zhang Lei took out his ID and handed it over.
For ordinary people, when they see that the national emblem and official seal are complete on the document, they naturally think that it cannot be fake.
Yu Li returned the certificate and said, "What do you want from me?"
"There are so many people here, Miss Yu, please lend me a moment to speak." Zhang Lei pointed back at the car.
Zhang Lei was courteous and polite, and looked harmless. Besides, he was a policeman, so Yu Li followed him into the car without thinking too much.
There was also a driver in the car who greeted Li politely.
Zhang Lei took out a photo from his pocket and asked: "Miss Yu, do you know this person?"
Yu Li took a closer look and saw that the person in the photo was Cui Duo. She couldn't help but nodded: "I know him."
"Do you know who he is?"
"...Businessman."
"You are wrong, he is not a businessman."
"Then what does he do?"
"According to the information we have, this person is an intelligence agent of the Communist Party."
Yu Li is not too concerned about Cui Duo's true identity. Whether it is the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, it is not that important to her.
Zhang Lei said: "You don't seem surprised?"
Yu Li said calmly: "He and I are just ordinary friends. I don't know whether he is a Communist or not, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Miss Yu, do you want to make money?"
"ah?"
"Cui Duo has the same thing on him. If you can get it, I'm willing to pay a big price to buy it."
Yu Li was stunned for a long time: "Why... you don't arrest him?"
Zhang Lei said with a smile: "If things are publicized, things will lose their value and cannot be sold for the price. Otherwise, why bother you? I can justifiably arrest him myself."
"But, you are the police..."
"Ms. Yu, what time is it now? Maybe one day the Communist army will come to the city, and it's not certain who owns the world. To be honest, I'm not interested in catching spies and bandits. What I'm interested in is money."
Before Li could speak, Zhang Lei continued: "I know that you also need money. Your family situation is not good. My younger brother is twenty-five years old this year. I heard that he has already engaged and will marry a wife by the end of the year, right?"
Yu Li said in surprise: "How do you know these things?"
Zhang Lei smiled: "Don't forget what I do. If you want to investigate a person's identity and background, you can find out clearly in less than ten days and a half."
Yu Li was silent for a moment and then said: "What...are you talking about?"
Zhang Lei said: "Of course Cui Duo's most important thing is, to be precise, a list!"
"List?"
"right."
"Is that list valuable?"
"For ordinary people, a piece of paper is a piece of paper, but those of us who rely on intelligence trading regard it as a priceless treasure. As long as you get the list, I will give you this number." Zhang Lei held out three fingers.
Yu Li asked: "Three hundred?"
Zhang Lei smiled and shook his head.
"Three thousand?"
"It's three large yellow croakers. I guarantee each one is worth two pounds!"
In order to facilitate circulation, the gold bars minted by Shanghai Zhongyang Mint are divided into six denominations, namely five coins, one tael, two taels, three taels, five taels, and twelve taels.
The most common ones are Shiliang and Yiliang, which are commonly known as "big yellow croaker" and "small yellow croaker".
During the war years, the most valuable currency was gold. Three "big yellow croakers" could buy a courtyard house in Yanjin, and it definitely looked respectable.
Yu Li hesitated for a moment and said: "He has a notebook and never leaves it. The list you mentioned..."
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up: "Nine times out of ten, it's this notebook!"
"He is very vigilant. If he wants to get it... I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"So, you agreed?"
"I, let me try..."
Yu Li had made a plan in her mind. If Cui Duo agreed to borrow money, she would certainly not need to steal his things, and would even remind him of the danger.
On the other hand, if Cui Duo is indifferent to his own affairs, then he has no choice but to feel sorry for him.
Zhang Shuo guessed Yu Li's thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yu, let's talk ugly things first. If you don't want to make this money, I won't force you. Business is something you and I both agree on. However, you
If you tell the truth, or even tip off Cui Duo, don’t blame me for turning against you!"
Yu Li's heart trembled, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
No matter what the final outcome of the matter was, he really couldn't reveal the news to Cui Duo. If the police station caused trouble for him and his family, it would be as simple as crushing an ant.
Thinking of this, Yu Li hurriedly said: "Officer Zhang, as I said just now, Cui Duo is very vigilant. I am not completely sure, so..."
Zhang Lei smiled slightly, reached out and took out a paper bag from his arms, and said: "When eating, find an opportunity to pour this into his wine glass, stir it evenly with chopsticks, remember, it must be stirred evenly! Don't leave it at the bottom of the cup.
If Cui Duo discovers the flaw, he will definitely not let you go."
"This, what is this?"
"Sleeping pills."
"The medicine is bitter..."
"Cui Duo likes to drink bamboo leaf green wine. That wine itself contains medicinal ingredients. I have tried it many times and there is absolutely no problem."
"...I took his things. He will definitely know it when he wakes up. What will he do then?"
"So, you can't take away the original, you just need to make a new copy, and then put the original back again, no matter how you took it out. When copying, you can't make a mistake in a word. We also have a list in our hands.
We will verify the authenticity of the list in due course."
"If I get the list, how can I find you?"
"Do you have a green scarf?" "Yes."
"After you get the list, wear that scarf when you go out."
"Understood……"
"Do you have any more questions?" "Then, when will you give me the gold bars you mentioned?"
"Pay one hand and deliver the goods."
Now that the matter has come to this, Yu Li gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, it's settled!"
The whole family lives in the countryside of Peking, eagerly looking forward to making a lot of money to go back home. With the meager salary as a waiter, how many years and months will it take to change their destiny!
In fact, Zhang Lei is not an undercover police officer, he is an operative of the underground party. This time he was ordered to contact Yu Li in order to obtain the latent list.
Tong Tong pretended to be Yingzi and said those words mainly to give Yu Li a psychological buffer time.
Otherwise, if a stranger suddenly appeared and asked Yu Li to do such a thing, no one would be able to agree easily.
Jiang Xinyu knew very well what kind of person Cui Duo was, and was sure that he would not be able to lend Yu Li such a large amount of money.
Yu Li's family background, including all aspects of her temperament, were fully understood in advance. No matter what considerations she had, the temptation of gold bars made her unable to refuse.
As for the latent list, Cui Duo will definitely carry it with him. Of course, he will not trust others to keep such an important thing.
