Chapter 17: Ga Za Zi and Liuli Ball Seeing the cash, Ning Weidong put aside his last bit of worry. It seems that Wang Jingsheng's move was indeed the right one. "Thank you~" Ning Weidong thanked him and took the money. They are all ten-yuan unity notes, ten in total, not one less. When it comes to money, you can't be vague, otherwise one more or one less will cause trouble. After confirmation, Ning Weidong put the money into his pocket, and neither of them mentioned the IOU. This is not what Wang Jingsheng really cares about. Ning Weidong didn't keep the audience in suspense and went straight to the point, starting to talk about the Qi family's most secret base. "You know how cautious Brother Qi is. I discovered this by accident..." Wang Jingsheng nodded. He had been with Qi Jiazui longer than Ning Weidong and knew his character well. Since he had no mother since childhood, he was indifferent to family affection and was even more cruel and ruthless.
Ning Weidong continued, "Our two families live close to each other. I have seen Brother Qi crossing Fuchengmen Street and going to Minkang Hutong across the street more than once..." “Minkang Hutong?” Wang Jingsheng couldn’t help but widen his eyes, as if he remembered something, and slapped his thigh and said, “That’s what I said!” Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows: "You have seen it too?" Wang Jingsheng exclaimed, "Of course I did. It was in 1973 or 1974. I went to my second aunt's house before the Chinese New Year and met him at that intersection. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was looking for a wife and lived nearby." Ning Weidong was startled. He didn't expect there was this section and asked hurriedly where it was. Wang Jingsheng said, "It's at the intersection of Shijinfang Street and Minkang Hutong." He frowned and stared at Ning Weidong, "Weidong, tell me the truth, do you really not know where Brother Qi is?" Ning Weidong said, "You are talking nonsense. If I knew, I would have gone there by myself. Why would I go to your house in the dark just for a hundred dollars?" Wang Jingsheng thought about it and agreed. In fact, he knew that his question was nonsense, but people are like this. Many times, even if they know the result, they still have to ask. Ning Weidong continued: "I know it's probably near Minkang Hutong." Wang Jingsheng frowned and said, "That area is not small. How can we find it?" Ning Weidong said frankly: "That's true. If it was easy to find, would I need to look for you?" Wang Jingsheng also understood that anyone would want to keep the information to themselves, but he felt a little strange that Ning Weidong shared such important information just to borrow a hundred yuan from him. Hearing his question, Ning Weidong said helplessly: "You didn't come from Fuchengmen Street?" Wang Jingsheng blinked his eyes: "Yeah, what's the point of this?" Ning Weidong said: "If you were coming from there, you wouldn't ask like that. The First Light Industry Bureau is building a residential building for its staff, and they are currently demolishing the building~" With a cry of "Fuck!", Wang Jingsheng stood up suddenly and suddenly realized what had happened. No wonder Ning Weidong came to him in a hurry last night, and no wonder Ning Weidong was willing to give out such important information. It turns out the roots are here. This information will expire soon.
Wang Jingsheng clenched his fists and almost cursed in his heart. It’s not because I lent Ning Weidong a hundred dollars, that money cannot be lost. If I can find Qi Jiazui's stuff, a hundred dollars is no big deal. If I can't find it, Ning Weiguo will back me up. What really annoyed Wang Jingsheng was that he was forced into a corner by Ning Weidong at the very beginning, leaving him with no choice. But Wang Jingsheng was not an ordinary person. He quickly adjusted his mood and asked in a deep voice, "How many days are left?" "Wait a minute~" Ning Weidong stood up, quickly went to the earthquake shelter, and took out a pink plastic notebook from under the pillow. He went back to the upper room and opened the book on the eight-immortals table. It was a map of the area around Minkang Hutong that he had drawn based on his memory last night. It's not very standard, but it's clear. Ning Weidong drew a circle on the map with a dotted line: "Based on my judgment, the place is likely to be within this range." Wang Jingsheng looked at it carefully and frowned even deeper. The area Ning Weidong cordoned off included roughly seven or eight large courtyards, the largest of which had four courtyards in front and back. This was not something Ning Weidong drew casually. It was the result of a comprehensive analysis based on the original owner's memory. However, he was not sure and it ultimately depended on luck. Ning Weidong did not give Wang Jingsheng a chance to question him, and said firmly: "You are a wild man, find out if there is any house nearby that was vacant after Brother Qi's accident." Wang Jingsheng nodded, this was a relatively common method. However, it is easier said than done. Officially, you need to have connections in the street and neighborhood committee, and privately, you have to find all kinds of connections. After all, it is impossible to go to the door and ask, "Uncle, is there any house in your yard that has no one living there?" If that really happens, being driven away would be the lightest punishment. You may be treated as a bad element with ulterior motives and directly sent to the police station. This was also one of the reasons why Ning Weidong decided to find Wang Jingsheng. The original owner had a stubborn personality and had no useful connections at all. Ning Weidong would have no clue what to do if he was asked to do this kind of thing. When encountering this situation, in order to solve the problem, it is necessary to introduce collaborators. Wang Jingsheng plays this role. However, at this point, Ning Weidong's chips have been placed on the table, which makes him quite passive. If Wang Jingsheng got the key information, he could completely break away from him and work on his own. There is no way around it. Having too few resources means having no cards to play. At this time, the demolition became a factor in Ning Weidong's favor. As the saying goes, one must take emergency measures. The time pressure made it difficult for Wang Jingsheng to have any bad ideas. At this time, finding things quickly is the first priority. After leaving Ning Weidong's house, Wang Jingsheng rode his bike back to his own home in a flash.
An Ning was waiting in the room, and he told her the situation as soon as he entered. An Ning listened carefully, and when Wang Jingsheng finished speaking, she frowned slightly and said, "It was actually demolished! No wonder." "What should we do now?" Wang Jingsheng was a little anxious. An Ning pondered and said, "What should I do... First do as he said and see if there is a house that has been empty all year round." Wang Jingsheng said with a sigh, "I'm afraid this won't be that easy." An Ning said: "Go ask your second aunt." Wang Jingsheng’s second aunt works for the neighborhood committee, so she is a perfect match. An Ning added: "Then... find Zhang Jinfa. His family is in that area. He knows a lot of people and it will be easier to get things done." "Looking for Zhang Jinfa?" Wang Jingsheng hesitated: "That guy is just a bastard, a glass ball. If he gets involved in this matter..." An Ning was also a little worried, but she couldn't think of anyone else at the moment. Wang Jingsheng added: "And there must be an explanation when we go to him." An Ning pursed her lips and said, "Let's just say we want to get an apartment and find a place to settle down." Wang Jingsheng nodded. This was indeed an excuse, and this was the only urgent matter. (End of this chapter)
