Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0629 Eight Immortals Restaurant
I don't know if the Japanese are playing tricks or if there was really something delaying us, but we had originally agreed to go to Macau for the trade on the 4th, but it was delayed to the 8th.
This time we didn't beat around the bush and made an appointment directly to meet at the Black Sand Beach in Aomen at 3pm.
Nan Yi informed the 512 task force of the situation and was busy with his own affairs for three days. On August 8, he went out to sea on a yacht.
The yacht did not go directly to Aomen, but took a detour via Modaomen in Xiangshan County.
A fishing boat was parked on the Modaomen Sea. Luo Qianqian was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a women's business suit.
The yacht and the fishing boat intersected and merged, and Luo Qianqian dived and jumped onto the yacht.
Luo Qianqian almost fell down because of her high heels. Fortunately, Nan Yi was quick to catch her.
"Who chose this dress for you?" After helping Luo Qianqian up, Nan Yi said playfully.
"I chose it myself, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, it looks very similar to the work uniforms of the female public relations here in Macau." Nan Yi said and didn't say anything else, but asked: "Have you contacted the Macau police?"
"Everything has been arranged. Don't worry about your life."
"I'm not worried about losing my life, I'm only worried about the money. I'm telling you, I borrowed the money, if you lose it, you have to compensate me." Nan Yi kicked a briefcase at his feet and said, "1,000 denominations, 100,000 per bundle, a total of 110 bundles, non-consecutive numbers, the serial numbers have been registered by the Xianggang police."
Nan Yi handed Luo Qianqian a stack of documents with the banknote serial numbers on them.
Luo Qianqian took it, looked at it, and praised: "Very careful, you did everything we should do."
"Nonsense, if this money is gone, I will suffer a great loss."
"You can rest assured that our police will never let the people suffer any loss."
"I hope so."
After so much trouble, Nan Yi is already fed up. If he is not kicked out today, he will think of pushing him away.
After sailing for more than ten minutes, the yacht docked at Coloane Pier.
After getting off the boat, we boarded the car that had been prepared long ago, made a semicircle along Zhuwan Road, and got off at Black Sand Beach.
At this time, the sand on the Black Sand Beach is still black, not washed away by the sea. It is not the yellow sand that was artificially laid many years later. It is summer, and the black of the beach is covered with various colors, yellow, white, brown, and...
Nan Yi looked carefully and realized that it was Black Pearl wearing a black bikini suit.
"It's really amazing that the sea and sky are one color."
Nan Yi complained, looked at his watch and said to Luo Qianqian: "It's still early, let's find a place to sit down."
"good."
He came to a cold drink shop on the beach, bought two drinks, and rented two beach chairs. Nan Yi lay down by himself, biting a straw in his mouth, his eyes scanning the beach.
"She has a nice figure, her skin is a little abnormally white, she rarely goes out in the sun, and she has old injuries on both knees. Hmm, a female public relations, I wonder which casino she's from?"
"The skin is a little wrinkled and shiny, from frequent water soaking, and the fingers...are a little strong, probably from getting massages in the sauna."
"This...Fuck, streetwalker, wash your eyes."
Nan Yi's eyes swept over the naked skeletons, wondering in his heart what their occupations were.
When his eyes were about to get stye, Nan Yi turned to Luo Qianqian and said, "I suspect that the Japanese's "Yongle Encyclopedia" is a fake. If I recognize it is a fake, should I expose it or complete the transaction?"
"Are you sure?"
"guess."
"In fact, our task force also suspects it is fake, but it is best to complete the transaction so that we can play the long game and catch the bigger fish." Luo Qianqian said after a moment of hesitation.
"That's easy."
After Nan Yi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to squint.
After an unknown amount of time, a signal receiver in Nan Yi's pocket began to vibrate. He reached into his pocket to turn off the vibration, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at his watch.
"Two fifty-eight. Pretty punctual."
Nan Yi stood up, stretched his waist, and then poked his toes in the sand and twisted them.
Today he was wearing a pair of combat boots with steel plates on the toes. If he needed to take action later, it would be very refreshing to kick the crotch, cut off the evil roots, break the balls, and continue the lost eunuch culture.
After warming up, Nan Yi pulled the hidden buttons under his armpits to fasten the bulletproof vest.
When everything was ready, Nan Yi saw a woman slowly walking towards him from the northwest. The woman was holding a large, bulging bag in her hand.
"Lou Zhizhen!"
After taking a few glances, Nan Yi recognized the woman as Lou Xiaoyuan's daughter Lou Zhizhen.
"Japs, I'm giving you face, right? You'd better not get caught." Nan Yi complained in his heart, averted his gaze, and looked around as if looking for someone.
"Nansheng?" Lou Zhizhen walked up to Nan Yi and asked.
"I am, who are you?" Nan Yi said confusedly.
"Li Tangming asked me to come here. Where's the money?"
"Where's the goods?"
Lou Zhizhen patted the bag in her hand.
Nan Yi glanced at the bag and kicked the briefcase at his feet, "Let me check the goods first."
"I want to see the money first."
Nan Yi glanced at Lou Zhizhen's face and said playfully, "It's okay to look at the money, but I've seen police and gangster movies where undercover agents have bugs on them. To prove our innocence, why don't we both take off our clothes and let the other party check."
"I...you are shameless."
Lou Zhizhen became angry and embarrassed.
"Why are you pretending? Do you really think you are a chaste heroine?" Nan Yi spat, and stopped forcing Lou Zhizhen. He bent down to pick up the briefcase, opened it to show the money inside, and immediately closed the bag again, "Have you seen it clearly? Come and check the goods."
Lou Zhizhen turned his eyes away from the briefcase and paused for a moment before taking out four books wrapped in butter paper from the bag.
Nan Yi threw the briefcase back to the ground and kicked it so that it lay between him and Lou Zhizhen. Then he waved his hand, signaling Lou Zhizhen to give him the book.
After getting the book, Nan Yi opened the butter paper, took out a book and looked at it carefully.
Looking around, Nan Yi couldn't figure out anything. With his less than mediocre knowledge of ancient books, it was impossible for him to tell the real thing from the fake. He was actually looking for the secret marks in the book.
In the past, people with high imitation skills would leave a secret mark on their works. Nan Yi thought that Jia Yizheng should be an old-school person and probably would also use this trick.
After searching for a long time, Nan Yi still couldn't find the secret mark, so he held the book high and observed it through the sunlight.
After reading more than ten pages and still not finding the secret mark, Nan Yi gave up and looked at the other three "ancient books" carefully, then said to Lou Zhizhen: "No problem, just look at the money."
Upon hearing this, Lou Zhizhen immediately bent down, opened his briefcase, reached in and took out a bundle of money, twisted it open to see if there was any white paper in the middle, and then pulled out a piece of money to check its authenticity.
After checking more than a dozen bundles and finding no problems, he nodded to Nan Yi, closed his briefcase, and left with the money.
After Lou Zhizhen walked away, Nan Yi turned to Luo Qianqian and said, "Is there nothing for me to do in the future?"
"That's all. Thank you for your cooperation during this period. Also, Captain Zhou asked me to thank you for your sponsorship." Luo Qianqian nodded.
"It's okay. Do you want me to take you back to Xiangshan County?"
"Need not."
"Then please do as you please. I'll lie down for a while." Saying this, Nan Yi lay back on the recliner.
After half an hour, Luo Qianqian left on her own.
After she left, Nan Yi began to wonder, "I wonder if Lou Xiaoyuan can see the problem."
In the transaction that just happened, there was actually a big loophole on Nan Yi's side - there was a lack of a master's role.
Lou Xiaoyuan had met Nan Yi before and had a certain understanding of Nan Yi's cautious character. For a transaction involving tens of millions, Nan Yi actually did not find a master to examine the transaction. This was not in line with his character.
In addition, with Li Xiangrong as the link, Jia Yizhen was brought in. Whether it was Nan Yi's side or Lou Xiaoyuan's side, limited to the antiques, it can be said that both sides knew each other's background. If Lou Xiaoyuan smelled something, he should take action.
As soon as he moved, he fell into the task force's net.
The sooner the net is closed, the sooner Nan Yi's money can be returned. The longer the money is out there, the greater the chance that it will not be returned. The longer the night, the more trouble there is.
"Nansheng, it's time to go."
The school beauty suddenly walked up to Nan Yi and interrupted his thoughts.
"What's wrong?"
"A black dog just ran by with a paw in its mouth."
As soon as the school beauty finished speaking, Nan Yi saw several swimmers on the shore running out of the sea in a panic, shouting as they ran. The distance was too far and he couldn't hear what they were shouting, but considering the school beauty's words, Nan Yi guessed that most of them were broken limbs.
"Campus Beauty, go take a look. If it was bitten by a shark, we will stay for a while and watch the excitement. If it is dismembered, we will leave immediately."
"clear."
The school beauty responded and immediately walked towards the beach.
Nan Yi watched the school beauty walk over, watched her squat down, and then watched her walk back.
"Nansheng, one is the left palm and the other is the right foot. They are not from the same person. The cuts are even and the fingerprints have been destroyed. It must be a murder and the body was dumped."
"How many?"
"It was cut off with one knife. It should be a bone-cutting knife. It could be a butcher, a doctor, or a cook. It's not a professional killer."
"Butcher? Doctor? Cook? Cook, Black Sand Beach, Macau, why do I feel like I've seen this before? Why do I feel like I've seen the Macau case before?"
Nan Yi's mind turned, and he recalled his memories of Aomen in his previous life bit by bit. While walking towards the Black Sand King Temple, Nan Yi thought in his mind.
After a while, Nan Yi thought of the name of a thriller - "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Buns from the Eight Immortals Restaurant".
"This movie is said to be based on a true case. Could it be that the body parts on the beach belong to the family of the owner of the Eight Immortals Restaurant? What was the name of the grandson who committed the murder? It seemed to be Zhiheng, Wang or Huang, I forgot. It seems that the grandson committed suicide in prison."
Nan Yi thought that the person was already dead, and since it was being adapted into a movie, it meant that the case had definitely been solved, so there was no need for him to get involved.
After getting in the car, Nan Yi drove to Guanye Street and soon arrived at a shop that mainly sold almond cakes.
"Excuse me, is the boss here?"
Nan Yi walked into the store and asked a middle-aged man next to the oven.
"That's me, who are you?"
"Hello, I'm from Yaqing Company..."
With a few words, Nan Yi introduced himself.
"Hello, Manager Nan. I'm Li Jinhao, the third-generation successor of Li's Bakery." After listening to Nan Yi's introduction, Li Jinhao immediately greeted him warmly, "Let's go upstairs and sit down and talk slowly."
Li Jinhao welcomed Nan Yi upstairs, quickly prepared Kung Fu tea, and offered Nan Yi a cup. "Manager Nan, do you want to take the almond cakes from our Li's Bakery to Beijing to sell?"
"Not only almond cakes, but also egg rolls and lard cakes. I heard that tourists from Xiangshan County like your cakes very much and they always bring a lot back when they go back." Nan Yi said.
"Yes, after the reform and opening up of the mainland, tourists from Xiangshan County also began to come here. They like the dim sum of our Li Ji Bakery very much. Manager Nan, our Li Ji Bakery was founded here by my grandfather's generation. It has been 85 years this year. Generation after generation, it has been well-known in Macau."
Li Jinhao said, holding up the teacup, "Manager Nan, tea please."
Nan Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Boss Li, this is the case. The eating habits of the north and south are different. I'm not sure how many people in Beijing would like to eat the cakes from your Li's Bakery.
When I leave later, please pack me ten boxes of each item and I will take them back to Beijing and ask someone to try them.
If the response is good, then our Yaqing Company will purchase large quantities from you for a long time. If the response is average, then we will not purchase too much."
Li Jinhao smiled and said, "This is as it should be. I have confidence in the dim sum of our Li's Bakery. Manager Nan, you will definitely purchase a large amount of it."
"Then, Boss Li, do you have a way to deliver the snacks to Shencun? If we get the goods in the future, I hope to settle the transaction in Shencun." Nan Yi said.
"Yes, of course."
Nan Yi stood up and said, "Okay, Boss Li, let's go downstairs and get some snacks. I'll pay the retail price first. As for the wholesale price, we'll slowly negotiate after I get the result and determine the order quantity."
Nan Yi didn't care whether Li Jinhao would give a big discount or not. He didn't value Li Ji Bakery's dim sum very much, nor did he think about how much profit he could make from the "dim sum".
For Nan Yi, the reason he came here to discuss purchasing was just because of one thing - Li Ji Bakery is in Macau.
"Manager Nan, it's just a few boxes of snacks, forget about the money. I'll go downstairs with you to get them." Li Jinhao said politely, and took Nan Yi downstairs.
"The money still needs to be paid. Boss Li is really thoughtful. Just deduct some of the money from future orders."
Li Jinhao paused, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, apply more."
When they came downstairs, they saw that there were already guests on the first floor.
"Manager Nan, I'm sorry, I have to entertain the guests first." Li Jinhao said apologetically.
"It's okay, you're busy."
Nan Yi glanced at a few strangers, then turned his attention to the snacks on the cake stand. He walked to the side of the cake stand, picked up boxes of snacks and looked at them.
"This, how much?"
"Wait, I don't speak English, Manager Nan, can you speak English?"
Nan Yi was looking at the snacks when Li Jinhao called him.
"meeting."
Nan Yi responded, turned around, and looked directly at the girl who had just spoken English. Then he made a "huh" sound and carefully identified the girl. Nan Yi wondered in his heart, "Why is she here?"
Walking up to the girl, Nan Yi said in Korean: "Hello, South Korean?"
"You can speak Korean, that's great." The girl cheered, but then realized she had lost her composure. She bowed slightly to Nan Yi and said, "Annie Hasseyo, my name is Li Fuzhen. Please talk to the boss. I want to buy some almond cookies and need to know the price."
"Okay, wait a minute."
