As soon as the door opened, a secret agent hurriedly walked in.
Tian Ligang was taking a nap on a chair and cursed: "Liu Zi, you don't have long hands, so you don't know how to knock on the door and come in?"
Liu Zi apologized repeatedly and said, "I was in a hurry and forgot about it. I will pay attention next time."
"What are you so anxious about? Have you found that bastard Ah Hua?" Tian Ligang sat up straight and lit a cigarette.
"Is that true..."
"Then you are so anxious!"
"Team leader, I have new information!"
"explain!"
"The owner of Wangdefu Bathhouse sells private salt!"
"Selling private salt? Is the information accurate?"
"It's the information passed down by the informant... It's really not accurate. Let's search it and we'll find out."
Tian Ligang was a little hesitant. Wangdefu was not an ordinary small bathhouse. The boss had a certain social status, so he did not bully ordinary merchants just because he wanted to.
Tian Ligang thought for a while and said: "We will search without evidence. If nothing is found, it will not end well..."
Liu Zi: "Team leader, someone bought salt from Wangdefu, which means that the illegal salt must be hidden inside! If we don't act quickly, if the people from the anti-smuggling department get there first, we won't get anything!"
Tian Ligang has been very depressed these days. It is almost confirmed that Ah Hua is a whistleblower for the Communist Party. The intelligence team is facing a crisis of trust in the detective team, and his subordinates are called in for questioning by Jiang Xinyu one after another.
Tian Ligang was eager to solve a few cases in a short period of time. Making money was the second most important thing. The main thing was to give the intelligence team a strong appearance, otherwise he would be overshadowed by the action team.
Thinking of this, Tian Ligang slapped his thigh, stood up and said, "Liuzi, come with me to Wangdefu!"
Liuzi said in surprise: "Are you going in person?"
Tian Ligang sighed: "We can't make any more mistakes. Find the evidence first, and then arrest people!"
"yes!"
The two of them went downstairs one after another, and almost bumped into a camel when they went out. Tian Ligang cursed and said: "It's either that I don't have hands or that I don't have eyes! Is that really the case!"
The camel knew how to bow and salute without saying a word.
Tian Ligang stretched out his hand to dust his clothes and said to Liu Zi: "Did you see? Not only does he not have eyes, but he is also mute!"
Liuzi kept smiling and said, "Why are you so familiar with him? Camels have always been like this."
"I'm not just acquainted with him, but I'm just saying how unlucky I have been recently!" The two of them were talking, got into a car and drove out of the detective team's gate.
As soon as they left, Zhao Yuhu immediately followed them quietly in his car. Jiang Xinyu asked him to monitor Tian Ligang.
"Stop, stop!" Tian Ligang said repeatedly.
Liuzi parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Team leader, what's wrong?"
Tian Ligang murmured: "We are really enemies on a narrow road, let Li Kai take the lead!"
Only then did Liu Zi notice that the leader of the action team, Li Kai, had just gotten out of a car, looked around, and stepped into the Wangdefu Bath.
Liuzi: "Team leader, what should we do?"
Tian Ligang said sternly: "Then let's see who has the ability! You are watching from outside, and I'll ask you to go in and have a look."
"yes."
Tian Ligang got out of the car, walked quickly across the road, opened the door and walked into Wangdefu Bath.
As soon as you enter the door, you will find the lobby. There are men's and women's baths on the east and west sides. There is a ticket office directly opposite the door. You can enter only after buying a ticket.
"Buy a ticket." Tian Ligang handed in the banknote.
"Sir, don't you want to rent a locker?"
"Not renting."
"We do not rent cabinets. If valuables are lost, our store will not be responsible."
"I know."
"Here's your ticket, take it."
Pushing open the door with the words "Male Guest" written on it, guests would pass by Tian Ligang from time to time wearing bath towels. Inside were rows of wardrobes with numbers marked on the doors and locks on them.
If Wang Defu is really selling private salt, there must be a place to store it. In terms of privacy, the closet is the most suitable place.
Tian Ligang looked around for Li Kai, but he didn't see this guy when he came in. Where did he go?
…………
Asano Ryoichi just came out of the shower and came to wardrobe No. 43, which was the wardrobe he rented.
When he opened the lock, he saw a piece of white paper lying on his clothes. He stuffed it through the gap in the cabinet. He just put it on the alcohol lamp to bake for a while, and the writing would appear on the white paper.
What happened once and for all, Asano Ryoichi was familiar with the road, quickly got dressed, put the white paper in his arms, and then prepared to leave Wangdefu.
"Are you... Captain Asano?" Li Kai appeared in front of Asano and asked with some uncertainty.
"It's me. Who are you?" Asano Ryoichi's Chinese is even better than that of many Chinese people.
Li Kai said politely: "I'm Li Kai, the leader of the intelligence team of the detective team. During Operation Qingxiang last year, we were in the same group."
Asano actually knew who the other party was, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "When I think about it, this is indeed the case... Are you here to take a shower?"
Li Kai: "No, I'm here to investigate a smuggling case."
Asano Ryoichi looked around and said, "What can be smuggled in the bathhouse?"
Li Kai said with a disappointed look on his face: "Yeah, I don't see anything suspicious. Information reports sometimes come in handy."
Asano raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You're busy, so I won't bother you."
"Okay, please go slowly." Li Kai gave Tian Ligang a cold look, but he knew how to nod and bow to the Japanese.
Although the rank of a corps commander is only slightly higher than that of a soldier, Li Kai still has the heart to fawn over him.
At this moment, Tian Ligang also walked over. As soon as he poked his head out, he saw Li Kai talking to a man and hurriedly hid behind the cabinet.
Li Kai and Asano Ryoichi exchanged a few words and quickly left.
Tian Ligang was from the intelligence team and did not know Asano Ryoichi. He only thought that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
He walked over and glanced at the number on the cabinet door: No. 43.
When no one was paying attention, Tian Ligang pried open several cabinets that seemed suspicious to him, but found no loot that would impress anyone. He was discouraged and had no choice but to leave the Wangdefu Bath.
Back in the car, Liu Zi asked: "Team leader, how are you doing? Have you found anything?"
Tian Ligang snorted and said, "That bullshit information is not reliable at all!"
"Ah? Didn't find it? Could it be placed somewhere else?"
Tian Ligang lit a cigarette and said, "Have you seen Li Kai?"
Liuzi: "I saw it, I just got in the car and left."
Tian Ligang sneered: "We didn't find it, and he missed it!"
Liuzi chuckled and said: "That's fine. If you have any advantages, you can't let the action team take advantage of them!"
Tian Ligang waved his hand and ordered: "You're right! Let's go back to the detective team, I'm a little hungry..."
Liuzi started the car, turned the car around, and sped towards the detective team.
