Chapter 2328 2000 yuan can buy his life?
Jiang Wan hurriedly looked at him, took out the portrait again, spread it out in front of him, and asked:
Have you seen this man before?
Liu Shi nodded and said, "I've seen it, and I even took a picture of it!"
What a pleasant surprise! These days, if you want to take photos, you have to go to a photo studio. Although there are point-and-shoot cameras, most people wouldn't buy one.
Not only are they expensive, they're also very impractical!
Seeing the suspicion in Jiang Wan's eyes, Liu Shi hurriedly took things out of his body to prove that he really knew the man.
Now Jiang Wan had seen it for herself; this man had pockets practically everywhere on his body.
Everything is hidden inside; you can hardly tell anything from the outside.
At most, she just looks a little overweight.
But when I tried to take it out, I found a huge, rattling pile, just like Doraemon's little belly.
After a long time, he finally found the photo he was looking for.
The photo isn't big, just the size of a palm, and it's black and white.
He handed the photo to Jiang Wan and said, "Take a look and see if this is the person."
Jiang Wan took it and looked at it. It did look somewhat similar to the portrait. The difference was that the man in the photo was much younger, around 20 years old.
The fisherman described the man as being at least 40, almost 50.
Out of caution, Jiang Wan still asked, "Where is he now? Can you find him?"
Liu Shi nodded and said, "Yes, he is my neighbor, but he has moved to the city now."
"I know where he lives; I've been there!"
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to make amends and offered, "I'll take you to find him. I'll help you find him. How will you thank me? How much money will you give me as a reward?"
Jiang Wan smiled: "If you can help me find him, I'll give you 500 yuan as a reward."
Liu Shi shook his head and said, "Wages have gone up now. 500 yuan can't do much. It's just four months' salary."
"That kid is no good. If I take you to him, he'll kill me if he finds out."
“I’m not going to do it if 500 yuan is used to buy my life.”
Jiang Wan said, "Then 1000."
"1000 should be fine, right?"
The man frowned, held up two fingers, and said, "2000 yuan. If you promise to give me 2000 yuan, I guarantee I'll take you to this man."
The price of 2000 yuan is not too high, at least it is something that Jiang Wan can easily afford.
But for ordinary people, that's almost a year's salary.
Moreover, if we could find roses, let alone 2000 yuan.
Even if you add a zero at the end, it's fine.
The two parties reached an agreement, and the man immediately took Jiang Wan to find someone.
At this moment, Qiao Liancheng returned and made a gesture to Jiang Wan, roughly meaning that everything had been arranged.
Jiang Wan then took Qiao Liancheng and went with Liu Shi to find someone.
The person in the photo lives in the city.
According to Liu Shi, this guy used to drive a truck in his early years, especially after the reform and opening up. There weren't many people driving trucks in the first five years.
To be precise, not many people own large trucks.
Therefore, almost all those who own cars have become business owners.
They've already hired people to do it.
That kid was among the first batch of truck drivers. Later, after making some money, he partnered with someone and owned two trucks.
Then hire a driver to drive.
With nothing to do and some things to think about, he started fishing.
He's quite a well-known angler in the fishing community.
But I never expected it would be related to human lives.
Liu Shi still felt a pang of regret when he brought up these events.
I don't know if it's because he's nervous and scared, or if it's just his personality.
He kept muttering to himself the whole way.
Jiang Wan didn't stop him, and just listened quietly.
After driving for more than 30 minutes, we finally found the kid's house.
As he got off the bus, he said, "That kid's name is Bai Qiang, but we all call him Qiangzi."
"When you see him later, don't say you're here to see him. Just say you're my friends, so he won't be scared and give himself away."
Jiang Wan glanced at Liu Shi with some surprise, not expecting this kid to be so savvy.
They even knew to help conceal their identities.
Liu Shi stepped forward and knocked on the door, which was quickly opened.
A person who looked exactly like the one in the photo walked out of the house.
Jiang Wan glanced at him and knew that this kid was no ordinary person.
I wouldn't call him a bad person, but he's at least a suspect; it's a gut feeling.
Bai Qiang glanced at the door and immediately spotted Jiang Wan.
He frowned.
He had a very ominous feeling about this woman.
He couldn't explain where this feeling came from; it was an instinctive urge to resist.
So he took a step back, intending to close the door.
Liu Shi stepped forward and stepped inside the door, preventing it from closing, and hurriedly shouted, "What's wrong with you, kid?"
"I brought two friends all the way here for you to meet, why are you turning me away?"
Bai Qiang asked, "What do your two friends do?"
Liu Shi replied, "They are all anglers and want to get to know some people in the industry to help them with some pointers."
There's a lot to learn about fishing.
"They don't understand, so they wanted to come to you so you could explain it to them."
As he spoke, he secretly made a gesture towards Bai Qiang, which meant to indicate that he was paying money.
Bai Qiang understood. These two wanted him to teach them some fishing knowledge and skills, and they would pay him to learn!
Seeing that there was money to be made, I was eventually tempted.
These days, who would complain about not having enough money?
Especially in the past 10 years of reform and opening up, many people have become rich, while the poor remain poor.
Therefore, in many places, especially in mountain villages, a bad idea has emerged: people laugh at poverty but not at prostitution!
It doesn't matter how the money was earned; as long as you make the money, you're the boss.
Therefore, even though Bai Qiang felt a moment of panic and fear when he saw Jiang Wan just now.
But as soon as they heard there was money to be made, they didn't care about anything else.
Driven by his vicious gambler mentality, he smiled and ushered Jiang Wan into the house.
Jiang Wan pretended to ask him some fishing knowledge, such as what kind of rod and fishing line to buy.
As they were talking, Jiang Wan suddenly asked, "I was planning to buy some equipment in the next couple of days, but when I passed by a fishing rod shop the other day, I saw that some places were selling a type of fishing line that glows in the dark."
"It glows when placed in water, and it looks especially beautiful when fishing at night. Does that kind of fishing line attract fish?"
Qiao Liancheng then interjected, "My wife saw those fishing lines and thought they were really cool, so she's planning to buy some for fishing."
"Actually, she doesn't like fishing that much; I like it more than she does."
