Chapter 1047 Tea

Qi Kaiqun knew that Shi Lei must have sent someone to follow him, but he did not expect that Meng Qihui would ask so clearly from store to store.

Qi Kaiqun even took the jade to inquire about the price to avoid this.

In his opinion, first of all, Shi Lei might not know what the manuscripts of the twelve masters were about. Secondly, he took the jade bracelet and asked for prices in three or four stores in a row. Even if someone inquired from those stores, not to mention whether those stores would know the price. Even if he told the truth, Shi Lei's people would definitely think that he was just asking for prices from different stores.

In this way, the manuscripts of the twelve famous writers can be well hidden.

Finally, Qi Kaiqun believed that even if Shi Lei's people were patient enough to go in and inquire at every store, it would be difficult to take care of every store he entered. After all, it takes time to ask those shopkeepers about other customers.

But Meng Qi's patience obviously exceeded Qi Kaiqun's imagination, and the methods he used were simple and violent enough. He asked everything out with almost no effort, and there was no delay at all.

After coming out of the fourth store, Meng Qi did not continue to follow Qi Kaiqun into the next store. Meng Qi already knew Qi Kaiqun's purpose.

He called Shi Lei and told him about Qi Kaiqun's inquiry into the manuscripts of twelve masters.

After hearing this, Shi Lei was also stunned. Although he had long thought that these thirty-six manuscripts might be directly related to the Mo family, he did not expect it to be so direct and straightforward.

Qi Kaiqun suddenly inquired about these thirty-six manuscripts. There were two possibilities.

The first possibility is that Qi Kaiqun got all of Mo Bingzhong's money, and he planned to exchange the money for the thirty-six manuscripts to make it easier for him to carry it.

The second possibility is that Mo Bingzhong has used the money to purchase thirty-six manuscripts, and these manuscripts are now in the hands of Qi Kaiqun. He does not understand the value of these manuscripts, so he needs to find someone to buy them. Ask around.

After Shi Lei accepted the task of thirty-six manuscripts from Heika, he also searched online for a long time, but found nothing like Qi Kaiqun.

Therefore, Shi Lei could easily judge that if Qi Kaiqun obtained those manuscripts, he would definitely have doubts about the value of those manuscripts. Since he could not find enough information online, he could only choose to consult professionals in this field.

Therefore, between these two possibilities, Shi Lei prefers the second one.

After all, if what Mo Bingzhong was hiding was cash, even if it was just sixty or seventy kilograms of banknotes, Qi Kaiqun would not be able to hide it from Meng Qi's eyes.

And if it was the thirty-six manuscripts, Qi Kaiqun could obviously easily put them in his small bag and take them out of the inn.

"Please continue to follow Qi in the group. He will probably ask me to meet him soon. Then you can just show up when I arrive."

Shi Lei hung up the phone and didn't tell Meng Qi too much, but he knew that if given the chance, Meng Qi would definitely try to take the batch of manuscripts from Qi Kaiqun. Shi Lei has not forgotten what kind of industry Meng Qi worked in before being adopted by Wei Changqing.

Meng Qi continued to follow Qi Kaiqun, and then discovered that Qi Kaiqun had returned home again.

His wife had already gone out, and there was only one nanny at home. Not long after Qi Kaiqun returned, the nanny went out, apparently to buy groceries or something.

Meng Qi stayed at the door of Qi Kaiqun's house. When Qi Kaiqun went out again, he called Shi Lei again.

"Mr. Shi, has Qi Kaiqun made an appointment with you?"

Shi Lei said: "He is out now?"

"Well, how about I go to his house and take a look while he is gone? If the manuscripts are already in his hands, he will definitely not take them out. I think I should have a chance to get those manuscripts."

Shi Lei thought for a while and felt that this might be a solution, so he said, "Then you should be careful."

Meng Qi said casually: "Don't worry, there is no one in his family now, I can't miss it."

Qi Kaiqun drove away, and Shi Lei also left the inn to go to the place they agreed on. Meng Qi got out of the car and walked around downstairs. After going upstairs, he opened the door of Qi Kaiqun's house without much effort.

Meng Qi is truly a professional. He searches extremely quickly and will never miss anything.

However, he almost searched Qi Kaiqun's house and even found several hidden compartments on the walls and in the furniture, but he could not find the manuscripts.

He heard the sound of the door opening outside and knew that the nanny of the Qi family was back. He did not dare to stay longer and left quickly while the nanny was busy in the kitchen.

Back in the car, Meng Qi called Shi Lei again.

"Mr. Shi, I'm sorry, I couldn't find those manuscripts. It seems that those manuscripts are not in Qi Kaiqun's hands."

Shi Lei frowned and said: "Maybe the place where he hides things is relatively secretive..."

Meng Qi interrupted Shi Lei confidently and said, "Mr. Shi, please believe in my ability. The two floors of his house total more than 200 square meters. I have searched all the places where things might be hidden, and indeed I didn't find anything." There is only one possibility for things related to the manuscripts, either Qi Kaiqun took the manuscripts away, or the manuscripts are not in his hands at all."

Shi Lei thought for a while and said, "Let's do this for now. The place I made an appointment with him is a hotel in the city. I'll send you the address."

Meng Qi could only say: "Okay, I'll rush over immediately."

Just as he was talking, Meng Qi saw a man in a courier vest coming out of the doorway of Qi Kaiqun's house, holding a big box in his hand. Meng Qi had seen this box in Qi Kaiqun's house just now, and it was full of Pu'er tea.

Meng Qi frowned, started the car, and pretended to be careless when turning around. The rear of the car hit the courier's electric bike, knocking him down with the bike.

He hurriedly got out of the car, and Meng Qi kept saying sorry, and said that he could take the courier to the hospital for a check-up.

The courier didn't feel embarrassed to say anything. In fact, he was not hit. It was just that the rear of the car hit his electric bike, and he couldn't keep his balance and fell down.

However, the things on the car fell to the ground.

Meng Qi hurriedly helped him pick up the things, and quickly hugged the box that should have been moved from Qi Kaiqun's house.

This was just an ordinary cardboard box. Meng Qi deliberately used a little force in his hand and easily broke the box completely. It looked like the box was broken as soon as he picked it up, and the Pu'er tea inside was scattered all over the ground.

Meng Qi apologized again and again, picking up the Pu'er tea from the ground one by one. He passed every piece of Pu'er tea through his hands. There were 36 pieces in total, but they should all be genuine tea leaves, nothing special.

The box was completely rotten, and it was obviously impossible to hide any manuscripts inside. Meng Qi shook his head secretly, thinking that he might have made a wrong judgment.

He apologized to the courier again and again and compensated the courier 300 yuan. The courier said: "Sir, you should be more careful when reversing next time. If you encounter a scammer, it will be hard to explain."

He found a special courier bag and put the tea leaves in it.

Meng Qi naturally apologized again and again, and then watched the courier leave.

In the process, Meng Qi also saw the courier slip. These tea leaves were indeed sent from Qi Kaiqun's home and were to be sent to Lingxi. Although he only took a brief look, Meng Qi had completely memorized the recipient's phone number and address.
