Chapter 2582 Investigation ([-])

The few people around couldn't hold back, so the two rich men bought a box each. Seeing that there were only a few boxes of goods left on the ship, some alcoholic neighbors and old acquaintances began to discuss and pool their money to buy it. A box, this can be regarded as a "group fight" in the old time and space.

A merchant next to Yuan Shuzhi was also moved by the sight, muttering that he wanted to go back to honor his father-in-law and wanted to buy a few bottles.So they dragged him into a group to buy a box.

This day's big bargain was in front of his eyes, and Lao Yuan was clutching the few yuan he earned from contributing to the magazine, with a ferocious face, obviously very entangled in his heart.He himself is good at drinking a few sips in the past, but high-end goods like Guoshi Wushuang can only hope for plum blossoms to quench their thirst, and he dare not care about it at all with his income.Colleagues gathered for a drink, and talked about how the wine was like nothing in the sky, and unparalleled in the world, but they never drank it once.

Today, I was dazed and stunned, and I was pushed a few times by the brothers who said they wanted to buy a group, and there was a crowd of people around, all vying to buy, and hesitantly handed out the three-yuan silver coin in his arms, and smacked it afterwards , as straight as an evil spirit.

At this moment, someone patted his shoulder suddenly, and someone shouted in his ear: "Old customer! Why are you still here, the boat is about to sail!"

Yuan Shuzhi was shocked, and when he turned around to see the old man sitting next to him, he suddenly realized that this was a "game"!Immediately, he quickly stuffed the money back, muttering in his mouth: "Oh, I almost missed the job!" After saying that, he followed the old man and squeezed out of the crowd.

Behind them, there was still a lot of noise. Not long after, more than a dozen boxes of wine on the cargo ship were sold out, the crowd dispersed, and the orphans and widows quickly packed up and boarded the ship. It took only a while to sail away from the shore.

Yuan Shuzhi returned to the boat, sat down on his ass, and said to the old man: "Thank you, old man, for drinking! It's really enlightening! He almost got his way!"

The old man said: "Mr. must have seen it..."

"Yes, I was suspicious from the beginning, but I was usually greedy for what I had in my cup, but he took advantage of it, and I fell into the trap without knowing it. I really am a fan of the authorities." Yuan Shuzhi said with emotion, "This liar is really hateful! "

"Since ancient times, people's hearts have been sinister," the old man advised, "If you go to Huizhou alone, you should be more careful."

"Thank you, old man."

All the way without a word, the ship arrived in Huizhou.Yuan Shuzhi came and went with the old man beside him, and got to know each other well.I know the old man's surname is Gao, from Huizhou.However, he is not a Hakka, nor is he a Cantonese. His ancestral home is Chaoshan, and his grandfather migrated to Huizhou to settle down in his generation. He makes a living by growing, collecting and selling medicines.

During Journey and Pingju, they only talked for a few minutes, the old man was vague, and Yuan Shuzhi would not ask further questions.When they arrived at Huizhou Wharf, all the treasures broke up and dispersed.

Knowing that he had been on the road for a long time, Yuan Shu didn't dare to delay, so he opened a room at the agreed Qiwei Inn, and quietly went to meet the head of the local investigation team.

The investigation team from Guangzhou arrived in Huizhou a few days earlier.Although the group was not led by a veteran, the matter was of great importance, so they were warmly received by the county director.

This county director is none other than Liu Yixiao, the former director of Danzhou County.Ever since the scandal involving the annihilation of the entire army on the ground in Danzhou, Liu Yixiao has been in despair in Danzhou.As soon as the Mainland Raiders started, he applied for a transfer to Guangdong—anywhere.Just leave this sad place.

Now I heard that it was the drug loss case of the Senate that came to investigate. Liu Yixiao knew that this matter was of great importance, so he dared not take it lightly.Lu Cheng, the leader of the team, was summoned immediately.He stated that he would fully support the group's work, and that he could immediately make arrangements for the naturalized medical staff they wanted to call.

The doctor appointed by Zheng Mingjiang was named Zheng Xiaoyu.It turned out to be the proud disciple she had brought.After being assigned to Huizhou, they have actually mastered the medical treatment, epidemic prevention and medical work of the entire Huizhou, which can be said to be in control.

Zheng Xiaoyu had already received a letter from Zheng Mingjiang at this time, and immediately joined the team to secretly investigate the counterfeit medicine.

He has been working in Huizhou for a long time, and he has heard about the sale of Australian magic medicine in the Luofu Shan medicine market for a long time, but he did not relate this to the loss of medicine.Because in the drug market, drugs under the banner of "Australian miracle medicine" appeared before the Senate recovered Guangzhou.So no one took it seriously.

So when Lu Cheng mentioned that Hearthstone powder contained sulfonamide, Zheng Xiaoyu couldn't close his mouth.

"There is such a thing!" He was surprised. "I know this Hearthstone powder, and it has been sold locally for two or three years. It is said to have miraculous effects. I thought it was just some kind of traditional Chinese medicine. Universe."

"Is this medicine really from the local area?",

"That's right," Zheng Xiaoyu was very sure, "This furnace stone powder is sold in the drug market, and the name of the sale is 'Wan Chunquan'. It is also an old-fashioned local drug store."

As soon as Lu Cheng heard that there was a brand name, he felt refreshed.Because so far they have collected all kinds of Hearthstone products in the market with different names, but none of them is called Wanchunquan.

"So, it's open for sale."

"That's right. As for the other medicines on the list, I've seen them by chance, and most of them are sold by peddlers. It's not easy to find the source. As for the Rebirth Medicinal Wine, to be honest, I haven't seen it before. But it's hard to say, The medicine market here is mixed with fish and dragons, especially the ghost market that sells everything..."

"Wait, there is a ghost market in this drug market?" Lu Cheng was surprised.

The name "ghost market" is found everywhere. It is nothing more than a market where transactions are conducted in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Most of the items sold are fake and shoddy, and there are also various stolen or "evil items".In short, either it is something that cannot be bought and sold aboveboard.

"That's right, what sells most are all kinds of weird 'panacea', or things like 'savage head' or 'dragon liver marrow'." Zheng Xiaoyu smiled wryly, "There is no serious stuff, but it is also Not to mention, sometimes I heard that some people bought some rare medicinal materials. In short, the water inside is very deep."

The investigation team initially found out that the Luofu Yam Market is indeed a distribution center for Australian miracle medicines.And even the source of Hearthstone Powder has been discovered.This was a major breakthrough, and Lu Cheng's spirit was lifted. He immediately held meetings, discussed, formulated plans, and assigned tasks non-stop, preparing to conduct a thorough survey of the drug market.

When the news of Yuan Shuzhi's arrival was sent to the investigation team, Lu Cheng's relevant plans had already been formulated and were ready to be implemented.But Yuan Shuzhi was also the investigator handpicked by Mr. Zheng Yuan, so he had to discuss it with him no matter what.

Unexpectedly, he was invited to the county government, but this old Yuan said that he was "surreptitiously visiting" and that it was not appropriate to openly go in and out of the yamen, and suggested to "hold a meeting in the form of a dinner" somewhere.

Lu Cheng secretly scolded a few words of the national essence in his heart, but with the hat of unannounced visits, it seems that his request is not too much.Dang even booked a room at a restaurant outside the Huizhou Chengguan Xiang appointed by Yuan Shuzhi, and met here.

The specialty of this restaurant is lychee wood roasted fat sausage with honey sauce, which is sweet, crispy and has a unique flavor.Well-known locally.A member of the investigation team came here, took a seat in the private room, asked the boss to serve some rice noodle soup, grilled and sliced ​​honey sausage, and ordered a bottle of local roast, and then the discussion began.

Yuan Shuzhi listened to them talking about the investigation results of the past few days, and was silent for a long time before he asked, "What is the origin of Wan Chunquan?"

"Speaking of which, it is a century-old store." Zheng Xiaoyu said, "It specializes in the wholesale of various patent medicines in the drug market. Among the local and even in many wandering places in eastern Guangdong, many of the pills and powders sold by drug dealers come from this old store."

"Did they make all the medicine themselves?"

"Some do it themselves, and some sell it on behalf of others."

"In this way, Wan Chunquan is a clue, but it may not be a useful clue." Yuan Shu knew, "Otherwise, this case would be too easy to solve."

"Old Comrade Yuan, you are right. So we plan to start with Wan Chunquan first. Find out what the origin of the famous Hearthstone is."

"In my opinion, we should buy some hearth powder from Wan Chunquan first, and verify whether this furnace stone powder is the other furnace stone powder." Yuan Shuzhi ate a piece of fat sausage and took another sip of wine, feeling very satisfied.

Although Lu Cheng couldn't understand his mannerisms, he was reasonable, knowing that the old man looked wretched and greasy, but he still had some morals in his stomach.

She was about to speak when suddenly there was a burst of shouting and cursing outside.After a while, a guy came over to serve the food.Lu Cheng asked, "What's going on outside?"

"It's nothing," the man said, "a customer bought a few bottles of Guoshi Wushuang cheaply on the pier outside, thinking it was a leak. I just took it out to offer treasures, but I didn't expect it to be a fake bottle when I opened it. I was just yelling. "

Yuan Shuzhi was startled, and thought to himself, could this be the scam he encountered on the way the day before yesterday?He said: "There are people who sell fakes in this country? I remember that only Ziji can make bottles. If you leave his house, there will be no second one..."

"Guest officer, you are right. The person who set up the situation is not stupid now. He knows that everyone believes in this bottle. So the bottle is real, but the wine is fake. Not to mention anything else, the empty bottle of Guoshi Wushuang is now It’s worth more than a dozen cents! Someone bought it to bluff people with fake wine.”

After the buddy left, Yuan Shuzhi told the story of the two scams he encountered on the way.He added: "I never thought that liars would be so rampant! They set up traps everywhere, and even a certain person almost fell into their trap!"

Speaking of this, he took out the counterfeit money from his pocket: "This is the counterfeit money I picked up on the boat. They are specially used to cheat. I'm not familiar with this. Comrade Lu, can you take a look?"

Because the number of counterfeit currency cases has recently increased, Lu Cheng was not surprised.However, when she took a look, she was as surprised as Yuan Shuzhi.

"Comrade Yuan, are you the counterfeit money you got from the ship?!"

"That's right, it's genuine. The victim threw it around on the boat when he was mad, and I picked up one and came back—I always feel that this counterfeit currency is different from the ones I saw before..."
