Chapter Thirty-Seven
Pan Kewei was a quick-moving person and told Li Qinglin what he should do later. He immediately bowed to Li Qinglin to say goodbye. Now that the danger has been lifted, Pan Kewei can return to Changsheng Town and hire a carriage to the county town, so Pan Kewei walked towards Changsheng Town with a baggage on his back.
According to Pan Kewei's instructions, in order to extend the time when the body was discovered, Li Qinglin pulled some weeds to cover the two bodies. The temperature is already relatively high now, and the man in black is not wearing much. Li Qinglin rolled the man in black into a small roll, then wrapped it in a bundle of thatch and carried it on his shoulders and went down the Shuihu Slope. It is a spring when farming is busy, and no one has gone up the slope yet. Even if someone sees Li Qinglin now, he must think that he had cut grass on the slope before going home.
Li Qinglin walked five or six miles along a secret path with thatch on his back and stopped in a very secluded place. Li Qinglin found a small depression, untied the bales of thatch and put them into the small depression, pulled out some dead thatch and piled them together, and then paddled matches searched from the corpse, and lit the pile of firewood and clothes with a fire.
In order to explain, Pan Ke explained that these clothes were evidence of murder and must be incinerated. During the time of the burning of the fire, Li Qinglin counted today's spoils. Today, he gained a lot of money. There were: Germany made twenty sounds, one of ten rounds of magazines filled with bullets and one of the spare twenty-round magazines, plus two boxes of pistol bullets, each box of twenty-five rounds, a total of one hundred and thirty rounds; Oceans were forty-two pieces and one hundred and five copper rounds; two boxes of Hadmen cigarettes, one box of mouth was opened, and the other box was checked by Pan Kewei; one box of matches.
In addition to the fact that the cigarettes and matches are not valuable, the market price of 20 sounds and bullets in Germany is more than 200 oceans, plus 42 oceans, which is worth more than five years of net income from Li Wanquan's family. The old saying goes, "No one does a business that loses money, and a business that loses money is rushing to do it." It is not surprising that someone is willing to do such a despicable and dark job as a spy.
The pile of firewood and clothes had been burned. Li Qinglin checked Yu Hui, and there was nothing left except grass gray.
The most obvious evidence has been destroyed. Pan Ke told Li Qinglin before leaving, and Li Qinglin can go home. However, Li Qinglin did not go home immediately, but walked towards Changsheng Town.
It was Pan Ke who gave Li Qinglin's explanation to Changsheng Town. As long as Li Qinglin rushed to Wantong Trading to meet Liu Zhengsheng, everything he had had will be done today. Even if the body was found in the future, if someone asked about his whereabouts, Liu Zhengsheng could prove that he sent Pan Kewei, and Pan Kewei could prove that he would immediately return to Changsheng Town after he sent him.
Li Qinglin rushed to Wantong Trading, and Liu Zhengsheng was busy on the cabinet.
The box cannon was hard and stuck around his waist, which made him very uncomfortable. The bullets and oceans were heavy, and they were so heavy that they fell in their pockets. Li Qinglin and Liu Zhengsheng were a little idle, so he asked Liu Zhengsheng to borrow a bag of money. He went to Liu Zhengsheng's dormitory alone to tie the guns and bullets into a bag. When he came to the store of Wantong Store again, Li Qinglin held a bag in his hand and cleaned up his body easily.
For some reason, there was a middle-aged man in the Wantong Store clamoring. Liu Zhengsheng, who was a big guy, was explaining something to him. Maybe the man was dissatisfied with something, but in short, his voice became louder and louder, and Liu Zhengsheng was so anxious that he was almost sweating.
Seeing that the man's teeth were black and yellow, Li Qinglin knew that this person must be addicted to smoking. He suddenly realized that there were two packs of Had Gate in his pocket. He had an idea, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, then took out a smile and handed it over: "Sir, please smoke! Harmony makes money, harmony makes money!"
Henan Province itself is a major tobacco leaf planting province. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, British and American tobacco was successfully tested in Yingqiao Town, Xiangcheng County, Henan Province. Since then, China has a history of tobacco leaf planting. In the local area, if someone in rural families smokes, farmers will plant a little in their own fields, and harvest and bake them by themselves after July, and make them into dry tobacco for use.
During the Republic of China, mechanical cigarettes had already entered the market, but they had to be purchased for money. Mechanical cigarettes like Hardmen are definitely high-end products in the eyes of local smokers. If they could smoke once, they would brag to their acquaintances for a long time.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man took the cigarette, glanced at the cigarette box, and said happily: "Hadmen! Good cigarette!" After that, he lit the cigarette, started to suck on his own, and the color on his face also eased a lot.
The alarm was temporarily lifted, and Liu Zhengsheng came over and talked to Li Qinglin. When he saw that Li Qinglin had a cigarette in his hand, he asked strangely: "Qinglin, you don't smoke normally, how could there be a Hadmen cigarette on your body?"
Li Qinglin had already thought of a word, and he replied, "He gave it to him when he gave him a surname. He asked me to help him find two people on the road, and also gave me some travel expenses and things!" After that, he raised the bag in his hand to Liu Zhengsheng.
Liu Zhengsheng said: "Qinglin, 'Become a trust from others and be loyal to others'. Since you promised him to help him find someone, you must do this well."
Li Qinglin said in his heart: "Who is Pan Kewei? I can't hide from him! Even if Pan Kewei really wants me to find someone, I won't look for him. I said that, isn't it just that you want to give me the source of money in the future?"
Li Qinglin thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he smiled and said to Liu Zhengsheng: "Don't worry, I have a sense of my own in this matter!"
While they were talking, Liu Erhua and Liu Xiuzhen walked into Wantong Trading with a smile, followed by a shy Wei Sanya.
As soon as Liu Erhua saw Li Qinglin, she smiled and said to Liu Xiuzhen: "You said Qinglin came to the town, and I guessed that he would be here. Now he is indeed here?"
Then she said to Li Qinglin: "Qinglin, let's go to Jinda cloth shop to pull cloth."
It’s not only the New Year or the Festival, what cloth should I pull? Li Qinglin is a little confused.
Liu Erhua didn't explain to Li Qinglin. She greeted Liu Zhengsheng, and then pulled Li Qinglin and walked towards the Jinda cloth shop.
On the way, Li Qinglin asked Liu Xiuzhen: "If you pull the cloth, go and pull the cloth. What do you have to pull me to do?"
Liu Xiuzhen smiled, and she quietly pointed to Wei Sanya who was following behind and whispered to Li Qinglin: "Your aunt said that it will take wheat harvest in no time. At that time, we all went to be wheat tourists and would be busy outside for a long time. There was a little free time before the wheat harvest. Your uncle and your aunt wanted to do your business as soon as possible. Early this morning they heard me that you came to the town, and your aunt insisted on pulling me to find you. We are here to pull cloth and make clothes for you two!"
ps: The author's words: My first time writing about Piaotianyi gave me a chance to show myself. I have a formal job during the day and can only write in my spare time, so I feel that there is not enough time and it is very hard. If readers still hope that I will continue to write, or I hope that the author will post more texts every day, please pick up the mouse in your hand and give the author some recommendations and collections. This will be the greatest reward to the author. Thank you!
