The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 469 Theft case, Zhao Ning is here
Li Aiguo deeply felt that the case was serious.

That night, Xiao Nicha's missing "Gliss" was reported to the Canton Fair Preparatory Committee through Yang Jizong.

It's twelve o'clock at night.

[Mr.] was still tirelessly correcting official documents under the dim lamplight. After learning the facts of the case, he immediately held a meeting overnight.

In the conference room.

A comrade from the special department suggested that Li Aiguo take the lead in finding the stolen "Gliss".

"First of all, Li Aiguo is a non-staff member, and his identity is not that sensitive. Even if "Gliss" is not found, the other party cannot use the topic as an excuse."

"Secondly, Li Aiguo has a good relationship with Mr. Nicha, so he can appease the owner and buy time to find "Gliss"."

Of course, the more important reason he didn't say was that Li Aiguo was the [driver].

[Sir] is not a farmer. Although he doesn’t know Li Aiguo’s identity, he has read the files and knows that Li Aiguo was good at solving problems in the past.

He has the lowest position in this room.

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Captain Chen nodded.

It can also be said that if you want to find a lost item in Yangcheng, Captain Chen can find it for you as long as you go out for a walk.

Although night has fallen, people are still coming and going in the nearby streets.

"Lao Zhang, listen to the team leader."

Section Chief Zhang of the Security Section of the Preparatory Committee, Yang Jizong of the Hong Kong City, and Captain Chen of the Municipal Bureau, Zhou Ke and the commander of the reconnaissance company.

After the Yangcheng Railway Bureau determined that the thief had left the Yangcheng Railway Station, it immediately sent an investigation report to the Yangcheng local government.

After the two left, Li Aiguo looked at Captain Chen: "Old Chen, you are a local, so you should have some ideas. Now go and ask around to see if there are any new thieves here in Yangcheng recently."

At this time, Yang Jizong already understood Li Aiguo's intention.

[Mr.] also said: “Tell the patriotic comrades not to feel pressure and adhere to three principles: from the masses, to the masses; gather together and persevere; adhere to the truth and correct mistakes. Wisdom comes from the masses. Victory will eventually belong to us.”

As soon as these words came out, Section Chief Zhang frowned: "Team leader, didn't we find the dagger? Why are we making trouble over nothing?"

After the people left, Zhou Ke lowered his voice: "Aiguo, do you think Dieter is behind this?"

[Mr.] nodded: "This matter has been settled. A task force will be set up, with Comrade Li Aiguo as the leader."

That afternoon, Captain Chen led the railway police and found the suitcase in a public toilet five miles away from the train station.

Those people are too bad. When they see opportunities for development in the mainland, they jump out to destroy them mercilessly.

Although he didn't understand the significance of the case, Zhou Ke still seemed very excited.

The rest were all bosses, so he started working as an orderly, serving tea and water to several people.

Even before liberation, homeless beggars begged on the road wearing dirty wool military blankets.

Wow.

There was no missing document in the box, and what was even more strange was that there was an extra five dollars.

Close the curtains.

Fortunately, Comrade Li Aiguo is in charge this time.

After the end of World War II, the United States retreated, and remaining military supplies, including military blankets, flour, milk powder, compressed dry food, and medicines, flowed into the civilian population.

The task force consists of five people.

This kind of costume is very common in Yangcheng in this era.

Drinking tea, Li Aiguo said slowly: "Before officially starting to track down the thief, Section Chief Zhang, Mr. Xiao Yang, you two will ask all the merchants to see if they have been stolen recently."

Except for Li Aiguo and Yang Jizong, no one knew the significance behind this case. They only thought that they were trying to help merchants recover valuables.

A man was walking through the crowd. He was wearing a brown military-style woolen windbreaker, and his face was tightly covered by a large white mask.

If this case was nothing more than petty theft, it would be easy to solve.

Outside the window is a quiet night in Yangcheng. Thousands of houses are brightly lit in the distance, and passers-by are walking along the streets nearby. It is so peaceful here.

As the captain, Captain Chen often deals with thieves in Yangcheng.

In the meeting room of the task force, Li Aiguo stood in front of the window. After listening to what Yang Jizong relayed [Mr.]'s words, he suddenly became excited.

This is also an important reason why Li Aiguo appointed Captain Chen to join the task force.

"It's not that I think it, but I'm very sure." Li Aiguo analyzed: "I have met Gliss of Nicha once. The handle of the sword is inlaid with gold and gems, which is extremely luxurious. Thieves steal things to live a life, not to seek death. "

"So, that thief Riglis has other plans. The thief is planning to destroy Guangdong."

Li Aiguo walked to the conference table, held the table with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Check! We must find the thief!"

After several days of searching with no results, the Railway Police Station had no choice but to turn to the local Captain Chen for help.

Zhou Ke was halfway through speaking, and the rest of his words were choked in his throat.

If there is something else hidden, that would be troublesome.

Yangcheng Dashatou Railway Station.

When Li Aiguo attended a meeting of the Ministry of Railways, he heard Zhou Chenrong, a train driver from the Yangcheng Railway Bureau (established in 1953), say that an expert once lost a suitcase on the train containing important documents. .

The man followed the crowd around a few turns and finally came to a remote alley.

As soon as he took two steps, someone stabbed him in the back with a dagger.

"Old ghost, did you bring it?"

"You are still so cautious, Lao Sha."

The man nicknamed Lao Gui didn't feel nervous at all. He just raised his hands high and allowed the other party to take away two hundred banknotes from his pocket.

"In our line of work, if you are not careful, you will be dead."

Lao Sha was also wrapped up tightly, and he even wore a black woolen hat. Only his eyes were exposed, so that the old ghost couldn't even figure out his age.

However, according to the information provided by Shangfeng, Lao Sha was a famous thief in Yangcheng before liberation and had been locked up in the detention center for five years.

When I came out of the detention center, I was already fifty years old, and now I should be almost sixty years old.

This old man could actually steal a dagger?

Lao Sha didn't turn on the flashlight. He rubbed his hands together and said dissatisfied: "Why do you only have money and a passport to go to Hong Kong City? We have an agreement!"

"Old Sha, have you forgotten our agreement? I can only give you your passport if you have an important impact." The old ghost said coldly: "Stop talking about this, where is the dagger."

Lao Sha took out a short sword from his waist and handed it over.
The old ghost took it and took out his flashlight to shine it twice.

The luxurious dagger emits a dazzling light under the beam of light.

The old ghost narrowed his eyes and rubbed the gem again with his hand. After confirming that it was genuine, he carefully inserted it into his waist.

"Next time we meet here, I hope I can bring my passport with me."

The old ghost lifted up his coat to cover his dagger, turned around and was about to leave, when Lao Sha stepped forward and blocked his path.

"What if you don't fulfill your promise? I can't trust people like you, so you might as well..."

The words have not yet fallen.

A pistol was pressed against Lao Sha's forehead.

Feeling the chill from the gun barrel, his legs became weak and he knelt on the ground with a thud, raising his hands high.

Holding the handle of the gun hard, the old ghost said with a ferocious smile: "You are not just a dirty thief, but you dare to negotiate terms with me? Do you believe it or not, before we are liberated, I can crush you to death with just one finger?" !”

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lao Sha turned pale with fright.

Although he didn't know the identity of the old ghost.

But being able to know his details so well, and even knowing his situation in prison, he has already guessed the origin of the old ghost.

Lao Sha felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have been embarrassed in front of such a person just now.

"Remember, if you dare to act like a boss in front of me again, I will kill you!"

Putting away the pistol, with the corners of his coat flying, and stepping on the stagnant water, the old ghost turned around and left the alley.

After the footsteps disappeared, Lao Sha dared to stand up and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

With the faint moonlight, you can see that there are only three fingers on his right hand.

At this time, two black figures came out of the corner. It was obvious that they had been hiding for a while.

Looking at the old ghost in the distance, the two of them approached Lao Sha.

"Brother Sha, didn't you get your passport?"

"No, this person is too cautious."

"Look, Hong Kong City is only a few miles away from Shenzhen City. We can swim there, so why do we need a passport?" asked another dark figure.

Lao Sha made a serious face: "That's not a passport, it's an amulet! We three brothers are all old and have no savings. Even if we arrive in the port city, unless someone takes care of us, we will still have to be thieves.

We are about to reach the age where we know our destiny, can we still be thieves? "

Thinking of this, Lao Sha felt depressed.

These two were good brothers he met in prison. He originally planned to wait until they were released from prison, and the three of them would join forces to do something big.

Who would have thought that within two years we would be liberated, the social atmosphere would be rectified, and the wealthy people would not be as ostentatious as before.

Even if you get it, it's only three or two yuan, and it's of no use at all.

Lao Sha and his two other good brothers had no choice but to follow the arrangements of the street and join the factory as workers.

Logically speaking, being a worker in this day and age is an excellent career.

But these people are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so how can they eat big white steamed buns?

Fortunately, Lao Sha's reputation is still there.

Two months ago, the guy nicknamed Lao Gui suddenly found him and asked him to help steal the merchants' things.

Once they succeed and cause serious consequences, not only will they be given a large sum of money, but they will also be given passports and taken to the port city.

Lao Sha also had some hesitation after realizing the other party's identity.

However, thinking that I could get away from the boring life of a worker and go out to sea to enjoy popular food and drink spicy food, I finally agreed.

"Well, let's wait a few more days. That man has lost his sword and will definitely cause trouble for the Canton Fair."

"I hope so. If it doesn't work, we have no choice but to take action again."

His two brothers also knew that what Lao Sha said was the truth, so they could only suppress their anxious emotions.

"Lao Sha, how is the apprentice you took in?"

"That boy is very talented. Maybe it won't be long before he can be better than others. I can be regarded as a successor and worthy of the master's instructions." Lao Sha said proudly: "When I became a master, I promised the master , I want to pass on his craftsmanship, and now I have finally done it.”

"I don't know if that boy has any talent, but he is quite filial. He brings you food and wine every week. We are both a little envious."

"Sending wine and food." Lao Sha thought for a moment and said, "I'll move tomorrow." "What's the matter, you don't even believe in the apprentice you chose?"

"Who can you trust in our business?" Lao Sha said with a gloomy face: "Besides, this matter is too big. If you are caught, you will definitely lose your head."

"Yes, it's better to be cautious. Lao Sha, how can we contact you?"

"I'll go find you. Let's do this."

The three of them whispered together in the dark for a while, then separated from each other and walked into the crowded crowd.

They were like fishes that merged into the sea and disappeared.

A dark cloud came and covered the moon.

The night became darker.

the next day.

Li Aiguo's prediction was correct. After investigation by Yang Jizong and Section Chief Zhang, three other merchants were visited by thieves.

[Merchants from the Land of Thousand Boats go to pharmacies to buy gifts for relatives and friends.

Before he reached the pharmacy, he discovered that someone had cut a ten centimeter gash in the sharkskin briefcase.

Lost twenty-three pounds, a red book, and the entry permit to and from the Canton Fair Exhibition Hall. 】

[Traders from Hong Kong City took advantage of the opportunity of participating in the Canton Fair to visit old friends.

There are no taxis in Yangcheng these days, so you can only take buses.

When the trader arrived at his old friend's house, he found that his wallet was missing. He lost a total of 200 Hong Kong dollars and several business cards. 】

[The female businessman from Hungary is from the criminal department.

While visiting Yuexiu Mountain, I discovered that my copper necklace had been stolen. 】

These merchants have reported these situations to their respective team leaders.

But the team leaders thought these were accidents.

Where are there no thieves? We cannot let this matter affect our relationship with the Canton Fair.

Because the value of the lost items was not high, and some people were not sure whether they had been stolen by thieves, so several people did not report the crime.

In just a few days, so many theft cases occurred. Yang Jizong, who was still suspicious at first, was completely impressed this time.

"Team Leader Li, what should we do now?"

"Wait for Captain Chen." Li Aiguo said.

At this time, Aiqun staff brought breakfast.

Grind soybeans into fresh soy milk and bake soft, shiny buns.

Considering that Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke were from Beijing, the staff also thoughtfully prepared bean juice.

"I've given Douzhi'er to you." Li Aiguo brought Douzhi'er in front of Yang Jizong and took a bowl of fresh soy milk for himself.

Yang Jizong: "."

After breakfast.

The task force was discussing the case, and Captain Chen returned to the hotel in a dusty state.

"Team Leader Li, after I went back last night, I found a few Lao Rong overnight and asked them about cases related to the Canton Fair."

Lao Rong is the leader of thieves and has a group of thieves under his command.

There are rules in every business. Thieving is an ancient trade and it has derived many rules.

When a thief comes to a strange place to make a living, he must first give gifts to the local elders, which is equivalent to paying homage to the dock.

Only with permission can you steal in this area.

Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be beaten severely. In more serious cases, some parts will be left behind according to industry regulations.

Captain Chen is a comrade who specializes in public security and has good relations with local veterans.

This seems a bit incredible. How can a cat and a mouse be friends?
In fact, in this world, black and white are often less distinct and more gray.

Captain Chen's face was full of exhaustion from a night's sleepless nights. He took the cigarette handed over by Li Aiguo and started smoking. He cheered up and said: "Those old Rongs all said that they have never attacked merchants, nor dared to attack, nor would they do anything. .

Although they are thieves, they will not do anything that would embarrass themselves in front of merchants! "

It sounds ridiculous that thieves also have patriotism, but Li Aiguo can understand it.

Li Aiguo said: "In addition to Lao Rong, you have many thieves in Yangcheng who are not making up."

"Not making up." Captain Chen instantly understood what Li Aiguo meant. "This word is used well. Yes, there are indeed some thieves who don't mix with Lao Rong.

Some of them come from other places and have no fixed residence in the local area, so it is difficult to find them.

But don't worry, I have now contacted all the comrades in Yangcheng, and they should have been dispatched by now. "

Li Aiguo also knew that if he wanted to catch the thief, he could only follow [Mr.]'s method of 'relying on the masses and mobilizing the masses'.

He immediately issued an order through Captain Chen in the name of the task force:
"First, organize forces to conduct a thorough investigation of all restaurants, guesthouses, hotels, stations, docks and other public places suitable for overnight stays in the city that night. All suspicious foreigners will be strictly interrogated to find out the details."

"Second, in the name of the task force, all branches and police stations issued an emergency investigation notice, requiring people with a history of pickpocketing in their respective jurisdictions to check whether there are any pickpocket masters emerging in the city recently."

"Third, use the sub-district offices in each neighborhood of Tongtongyangcheng to pay attention to whether any residents in the area suddenly show signs of squandering wealth. The focus should be on suddenly buying a large amount of wine and meat, and eating and drinking."

Captain Chen recorded the orders one by one in his notebook, his eyes shining.

This is a complete set of search methods, which you can follow when encountering cases in the future.

"Captain Li, don't worry, I'm going to execute it now!" Captain Chen saluted and left the "Aiqun".

Although the method of casting a wide net and catching more fish was adopted.

Li Aiguo decided to take Xiao Nicha along the route he traveled yesterday to look for useful clues.

It was only half past eight in the morning.

It is a sunny day today. Under the sunlight, Yangcheng seems to be enveloped in a layer of golden light.

When a few people left the Aiqun and walked to the exhibition hall, Li Aiguo was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

In the square in front of the exhibition hall, there were several blond businessmen with high noses, dancing the most popular dance of the year with a young man wearing a military green uniform.

They danced like steamed buns, attracting many passers-by to watch.

"Look, these foreigners can also dance our dance!"

"incredible!"

The passers-by puffed out their chests and showed a hint of pride in their eyes.

Little Nicha said angrily: "These guys are going too far. I just bought a red book, and they actually danced."

Zhou Ke snorted coldly and said: "These guys just want to take advantage. Brother Patriot, should we stop them?"

"Forget it, don't cause trouble. Our task now is to catch the thief." Li Aiguo thought for a moment and said: "Besides, the Canton Fair is only in its infancy now. It's not a bad thing that they want to take advantage."

This group of businessmen are very influential in the country. Once they make money, there will definitely be more businessmen coming to the next Canton Fair.

As long as the plate is big enough, everyone involved can benefit from it.

Only with channels and influence can the trade fair continue.

This is also the key to the Canton Fair's ability to continue for decades without interruption.

"Is it a good thing to be taken advantage of?" Zhou Ke couldn't understand Li Aiguo's brain circuit.

Xiao Nicha took a deep look at Li Aiguo. This guy actually knows how to trade?
at this time.

Li Aiguo saw a pretty figure walking towards the group of merchants from a distance.

This person is Zhao Ning, a reporter from Renren Daily.

It's just that today Zhao Ning is wearing the uniform of the TV station.

Wearing a dark blue jacket, black trousers, and small leather shoes, paired with a single ponytail that she tied behind her head, she looked similar to the working women of later generations.

What made Li Aiguo feel strange was that there was a young man following Zhao Ning.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes, a broad face, and a high bridge of nose, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.

In particular, he wore a military coat made of Melton fabric, which was very wide.

This type of 55 military coat was called a general in later generations, and it was the favorite of the big boys.

But this is only 57, and this young man can wear it on his body. His life experience is extraordinary.

"Ning'er, after finishing the interview, I'll invite you to Dexin Restaurant. It can be said to be a Taigong-level restaurant. The plain-cut chicken is especially delicious."

"Zhou Fang, let's talk later. I have to work now. Please stay away."

"You go ahead and I'll buy you some ice cream."

Zhou Fang was not angry even after being scolded, turned around and walked towards the restaurant next to him.

Zhao Ning, along with two reporters and a cameraman, seemed to be preparing to interview the merchants for a news program.

"Excuse me, which country are you from?"

"αβγδεζνξοπρσηθικλμτυφχ"

Zhao Ning: "."

Merchant: "."

At this time, an interpreter stepped forward to communicate, which solved the problem of talking between chickens and ducks.

However, the effect of communicating through translation is not very good.

Zhao Ning felt that such material, even if carefully edited, would not make it onto the evening news program.

The Canton Fair is the most important event in China recently. TV stations sent reporters to cover the Canton Fair.

Because of his outstanding performance, Zhao Ning finally got the opportunity and was seconded by the TV station, preparing to appear on the TV station.
Now it seems there is no way to fulfill this wish.

After a few brief interviews, and then recording a video of merchants dancing, Zhao Ning said to his assistant: "Xiao Wang, take it easy, let's focus on the exhibition hall."

Seeing Zhao Ning and the cameraman packing up their equipment and preparing to leave, Li Aiguo suddenly asked: "Xiao Nicha, do you want to be on TV?"

"Television, I often appear on TV programs in Malaysia, but they are just gossip news."

"A TV show watched by 4 million people!"

"4 million people? Patriotic brother, I want to go." Xiao Nicha raised his hand and said: "If you have a way, wait until I go back and get you a sword."

"The kind inlaid with gold and precious stones."

"make a deal!"
