Chapter 175: Start the investigation

The two first came to the orphan gathering place that Xiao Zhang mentioned, and Cheng Shi found that it was a very long alley.
There were small sheds with some rain shelters everywhere inside, and Cheng Shi also discovered at this time that there were only a few children here.
Xiao Zhang saw Cheng Shi's confused expression and said quickly: "Agent Cheng, you don't have to be confused, there are many children here at night.
Because it’s daytime now, most of them are out working hard to fill their stomachs, so there’s not a lot of people around now!”
Cheng Shi sighed and figured out this key point. Cheng Shi walked to a very weak child lying on the haystack.
He asked the companion who was taking care of him: "What's wrong with him?!"
The child who was being questioned looked at Cheng Shi warily, and then looked at Xiao Zhang, and his wariness was reduced a lot.
Then he said to Xiao Zhang: "I know you, you are the one who gave us rice a few days ago!"
Xiao Zhang then nodded and said: "Yes, it's me. The person in front of you is an agent. You should answer his questions first!"
The child then looked at Cheng Shi and said, "He has a fever. I'm waiting for my friend to bring him medicine. I don't know if my friend can get the medicine!"
Cheng Shi took out some change from his body and said, "You answer my questions, and I can give you the money to buy medicine."
The child looked at the money in Cheng Shi's hand and nodded quickly, while Xiao Zhang's eyes showed a mocking look.
Naturally, he saw that Cheng Shi was a rich man, and he thought that Cheng Shi would take out at least an ocean, but it turned out to be some change.
Cheng Shi also saw Xiao Zhang's expression. He didn't say anything, but asked: "Do you know a person named Tan Jun?!"
The child shook his head and said, "I don't know you?!"
Cheng Shi then pointed to Xiao Zhang beside him and asked, "That's the young man who came with this guy a few days ago?!"
The child then nodded and said, "It's that person. He came to us for the first time two months ago.
Since then, he has sent us some rice and oil every few days, but I don’t know what his name is!”
Cheng Shi thought for a while and then asked: "Then, is there any one of you people here who he is particularly enthusiastic about?!"
The child thought for a moment and said, "No, he just came to deliver rice or something to us. After delivering the rice, he left. I didn't see him being particularly nice to anyone!"
Cheng Shi then asked a few questions, but the children all said they didn't know. Only then did Cheng Shi know that Tan Jun was really doing good things here!
Cheng Shi then handed the money in his hand to the child. The child took the money, found another child, looked at his friend, and ran out to buy medicine.
Cheng Shi thought to himself, is it really that simple to do good deeds? This place is not close to Tan Mansion, and the place is also very remote?!
How did he know this place?!
Cheng Shi then walked out of the long alley and looked at both sides of the alley. No one was coming or going here.
It seems that there are some ordinary residents nearby and there are not many shops, so it is very deserted here, which is why they have a place to stay.
On both sides of the alley, Cheng Shi only found the only shop not far away, which was an antique shop that looked like an antique.
Cheng Shi also understood that in such a deserted place, except for shops like antique shops that have been open for three years, no other shops would open here.
Cheng Shi looked at Xiao Zhang next to him, and then threw him ten oceans. Xiao Zhang looked at the ocean in his hand and was very confused.
He really didn't understand how this man could treat those children so generously, but why he could be so generous and give him ten oceans.
Cheng Shi said: "This is not for you. I hope you can use the money to continue sending them rice and oil occasionally!"
Xiao Zhang said doubtfully: "Why don't you just give them the money directly?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Who should I give it to? These ten oceans are nothing to me, but they are a huge sum of money to them!
No one will agree to give it to anyone, but it will cause them to fight, even if they don't rob the person who holds the money.
It is easy to be isolated by others, so I can only ask you to continue sending rice to them in disguise, this is the best!"
Xiao Zhang also felt grateful to Cheng Shi and said with a smile: "I feel very sorry for these children, but I also have a family to support and I can't spare any extra money."
Cheng Shi patted Xiao Zhang on the shoulder and said, "I don't give you the money because I trust you, but because you won't lose your job because of ten oceans.
The second is that you work in Midian, so it is very convenient to deliver these things. The third is that if the money is not enough, you may come to the Central Patrol Room to find me to get it!
Remember, it comes occasionally, not often. People who always have enough to eat will not be willing to work hard to live!"
Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "I understand. I thank Agent Cheng on behalf of these children. I have nothing to do here, so I will leave first!"
Cheng Shi nodded and asked Xiao Zhang to leave. He thought about it and walked towards the only shop nearby, Yubaotang!
When Cheng Shi came to the door, he saw two men in black squatting there at the corner of the door. They seemed to be bodyguards or something like that.
Cheng Shixin thought that this should have been brought by the customers who came here. Why would an ordinary antique store put two door gods here?
Cheng Shi ignored them and walked straight in. The two did not stop Cheng Shi, but one of the two men in black followed him.
The hall inside Yubao Hall is very spacious, but there are only a few people inside, and they are obviously doing business.
A middle-aged man and an old man were sitting across from each other. Behind the middle-aged man stood two men in black, and behind the old man stood a young man.
The middle-aged man said: "Shopkeeper Zhu, your Jade Treasure Hall has been here for hundreds of years, how can you be so insincere?
If you don't collect this item according to my price, I'm afraid your Yubao Hall will never be able to continue operating!"
The middle-aged man's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, his voice was loud and somewhat raised, and he spoke in authentic Shanghainese dialect.
On the opposite side, shopkeeper Zhu Zhu Shahe also said helplessly: "Boss Du, you are really exaggerating.
Nowadays, the antique business is getting harder and harder. For your picture of White Night, I would pay 100,000 yuan, which is already a sky-high price!"
When I just walked into the process, I heard the price of 100,000 yuan, and my heart skipped a beat. What kind of treasure is this? And the other party obviously asked for a better price.
Cheng Shi quickly walked to the table and looked at the treasure on the table. He wanted to see what treasure was so valuable.
There was a beautifully framed painting placed on the table. According to Cheng Shi's observation, it actually had Han Gan's seal on it.
This picture depicts the horse's four hooves galloping and its head raised, neighing, which is very energetic.
Judging from the painting style, the herdsman has two beards and a tall and fat body, which is the appearance of a barbarian.
The horses are majestic and majestic, and they are a breed from the Western Regions. In terms of appearance, the black and white horses are strong, plump, and lifelike.
But the line drawing is meticulous and smooth, and overall, it is extremely exquisite.
When Cheng Shi wanted to continue looking, he was stopped by the young man behind the old man and spoke.
"Sir, who are you?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Of course we are here to do business, what else could we be here for?"
Chapter completed!
