Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Making Money
After carefully reading seven newspapers, Sang Baiyu sent Chi Zhao and Bian Bin away before saying, "Uncle is only interested in the missing person notices."
Missing person notices are usually in the gap between the two pages.
Fang Xiaoman asked curiously, "How do you know?"
"The smell," Sang Baiyu said. "My uncle has been stroking these missing person notices, and they left a scent behind."
Fang Xiaoman sighed, "Your weapons are much more powerful than those I made."
But why would Su Heng pay attention to missing person notices? And all of them were about children.
As far as Su Lanyi could remember, his family had never lost a child.
My younger sister Su Fanxing is still young and can't even speak clearly, so she obviously has nothing to do with this matter.
Sang Baiyu said, "Let's take the newspaper away first. The content of the report seems familiar. I need to go back and confirm it."
Su Lanyi frowned.
After he escaped, he was rescued by Hui Haiming.
Hui Haiming had not yet retired from the army at that time, so she gave him food to eat and supported him.
Su Lanyi was drowsy and had a fever for a long time before he recovered. However, he did not remember that it was Su Lian who harmed his family. Perhaps he deliberately forgot after being shocked.
In short, they found out that the death of the Su family was related to Chi Mingyuan. He always thought that it was the content of his father's work that caused the murder, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Su Lanyi looked at Sang Baiyu.
He was glad to have come.
If he really continues to target Chi Mingyuan as he thought, the truth may be buried.
Su Lanyi said, "Look around again and take away everything useful."
Sang Baiyu found no more clues that might be related to the Chi family.
The group took Su Lanyi's car back to Changxia. When they arrived near the train station, Su Lanyi parked the car on the side of the road and said bluntly, "You two can get off now."
Chi Zhao first looked at Sang Baiyu, then nodded and said, "Thank you."
Bian Bin got out of the car first to help Chi Zhao. As soon as the car door closed, Su Lanyi stepped on the accelerator and left.
Bian Bin felt sorry for Chi Zhao, "We are obviously very friendly, why are they always on guard?"
Chi Zhao looked at the car going away and said calmly: "Haven't you gotten used to it after all these years?"
Bian Bin asked: "What should we do? Can we still go back?"
"We just got the news," Chi Zhao said, "the old man is hiding, we have to find him."
"You mean..."
Chi Zhao said: "We can't get back on track for the time being. He has noticed something. Let's go."
Su Lanyi was going back to Longxinggang. He dropped Fang Xiaoman and Sang Baiyu off at their temporary residence in Changxia. "Try to go to Longxinggang less often and focus on school."
Fang Xiaoman: “…”
She works at the Longxinggang Police Station, how can she go there less often?
Before Fang Xiaoman could protest, Su Landi had already left.
Fang Xiaoman was unhappy. "Why do you always hide it from me? How old am I?"
Sang Baiyu asked curiously, "Second brother and Sister Hongying were both picked up by my eldest sister. Is Sister Xiaoman the same?"
"Yes," Fang Xiaoman said, "I think my parents didn't want to raise me because I was a girl, so they gave me away. I asked my eldest sister, and that's what she said. I don't know anything else."
Sang Baiyu said nothing.
She always felt that Hui Haiming and the other two were particularly protective of Fang Xiaoman.
Ning Hongying is actually not much older than Fang Xiaoman, but they will discuss it with Ning Hongying.
Fang Xiaoman said listlessly: "Let's go and see Chou Hongying first."
Sang Baiyu cheated a shop from Chi Zhao.
Two days ago, many jewelry from the jade shop were shipped to Changxia.
Although the distance is very close, it involves two countries and some procedures are inevitable.
Ning Hongying stayed behind to take care of these things.
The shop is on the only commercial street in Changxia, which is now the city center.
The shop has been opened during the days that Sang Baiyu was away.
There weren't too many guests, but not too few either.
If they can really sell a jade bracelet, they can make a lot of money.
Selling small pendants is also OK.
There is a carpet as soon as you enter the door, and transparent counters are all around, on which are placed various jade bracelets and pendants.
The counters are custom-made, very sturdy, and each one has a lock.
The public security in Changxia is better than that in Longxinggang, but there are still people robbing gold shops, and jade is also their target.
In Pingxiang Street, Hui Haiming's family is "notorious" and no one dares to provoke them.
Changxia is different. There are few evil people, but many petty thieves. The goods on the counter are all genuine, so you'd better be careful.
Ning Hongying successfully sold another pendant.
She locked the cash she had collected into a drawer, her face beaming with admiration for money. "Business in Changxia City is really better than in Longxinggang. I used to sell nothing in my shop all day."
Sang Baiyu said: "The per capita income in Longxinggang is even lower. Now that the domestic market has opened up, we have to come back to do business."
Fang Xiaoman was deeply distressed. "Xiao Hongying, how could you be corrupted by money? You used to treat money like dirt."
Ning Hong spoke very quickly, "It's really profitable! Our net profit in one day is more than a worker's monthly salary. Thanks to Xiaoyu's ability to distinguish real stones from fake ones, we can buy them at almost zero cost! Our family savings will be much higher!"
Fang Xiaoman: “…”
Hongying is speaking fast now!
Money is indeed the root of all evil!
Sang Baiyu went to the counter and took a look.
A whole drawer is filled with old Chinese currency, with a face value of one hundred yuan.
Sang Baiyu said, "Let's collect the money. It's attracting too much attention."
"I won't open the drawer when collecting money," Ning Hongying said with a smile. "And the drawer is made of a special material. Didn't you notice? It's probably even stronger than a bank safe. I installed an electronic lock and a regular lock on the outside. The regular lock is not ordinary either. If they want to open it with wire, they are too naive."
Ning Hongying chattered incessantly.
Sang Baiyu: "..."
The bad guys who came to their house were so miserable.
Sang Baiyu helps Ning Hongying run the store.
A few more customers came. Ning Hongying introduced the jade with eloquence, "This is not only jewelry, but also has collection value. The color of the jade bracelet should be considered. A good jade bracelet is hard to come by..."
Fang Xiaoman: “…”
Damn money!
She lamented, "Hongying has been poisoned by money."
The jade shop closes at 7pm.
The people in Changxia go to bed early, so there are not many people here at 7 o'clock.
Ning Hongying pulled up the shutter door and counted today's results with Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman.
"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred..."
Fang Xiaoman's eyes became wider and wider as she counted.
As soon as the door closed, Ning Hongying resumed her slow speech, "Today I sold a flawless ice jade bracelet that Xiaoyu brought back. My elder sister had it carved. The cost was basically the price of the raw stone plus the wages paid to the craftsman. I made a net profit of 6,000 yuan."
Fang Xiaoman's hands were shaking as she held the hundred-yuan bill.
Their family can earn 6,000 yuan a day!!
What does 6,000 mean? For ordinary factory workers, it is common to earn 100 to 200 yuan a month. This is not a month's salary for others in one day, but several years' salary in one day!
Fang Xiaoman's eyes flashed red. "Why are you closing the store? Keep it open! Open early tomorrow, how about six o'clock? I won't go to the police station anymore. I'll resign."
Sang Baiyu: "..."
Fang Xiaoman was also poisoned by money.
She reminded him, "We still have to go back to Longxinggang. You are still the forensic doctor at the police station. Uncle Wu is waiting for you."
Fang Xiaoman held onto the hundred-dollar bill and refused to let go. "How much is the monthly salary at the police station?"
Ning Hongying said slowly: "You said this is an ideal."
Fang Xiaoman: "Ideals can be eaten?!"
Sang Baiyu: "..."
It is indeed the evil money.
Sang Baiyu suggested, "We have to go back to Pingxiang Street tomorrow to check the archives."
Fang Xiaoman sobered up a lot and struggled to get out of the temptation of money. "Do you still want to check the newspaper?"
Sang Baiyu nodded, "I'm afraid the death of my second brother's father is not that simple. We need to continue investigating."
