Chapter 184: The Old Japs' Treasure
Although Lou Hongyi disliked his son-in-law privately, he would not show it in front of outsiders.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Oh! It's not like a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple! Sister Lou and I live in the same courtyard, door to door! When something happened to my family, I relied on Sister Lou to help me. Uncle Lou, I didn't expect to see you here today. , I will give you a toast later!”
"Du Fei~Xiao Du!" Lou Hongyi suddenly realized that his daughter had mentioned it several times recently when she went back, but he had never connected Du Fei with the word "Xiao Du" in his daughter's mouth before.
However, they only went so far and did not neglect other people because of their relationship.
Gu Bingzhong also interjected, "I didn't expect you to have such a relationship. I really wanted to drink two more drinks at that moment!" Then he introduced another person, "This is Mr. Wang Xiangwang, who works in the Cultural Relics Bureau. Mr. Wang has a scholarly family and is worthy of being We call them all gold and stone.”
Du Fei was secretly surprised and carefully looked at the stout middle-aged man in front of him. He was a little unsure. Could it be the famous Mr. Wang in later generations?
"Mr. Wang, I have long admired you!" Du Fei quickly bowed and shook hands, even more respectfully than he had been to Director Lou just now.
Wang Xiang's expression was a little strange. While looking at Du Fei, he half-joked, "You little comrade, you don't dare to talk nonsense after I've known my name for a long time. Are you sure you've heard of me?"
Du Fei said calmly, "In 1947, more than a hundred boxes of stolen documents and ancient books were recovered from Japan..."
Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said, "Okay~ It seems that you, a 'famous person who has been admired for a long time,' really don't say it smoothly. I will punish myself with three cups of wine later!"
Du Fei smiled. In fact, he knew this allusion because he heard it from a certain teacher Ma in later generations. If he told it too much, he would really be at his wits end.
But this sentence has scratched the itch, and any more would be too much.
Gu Bingzhong and Lou Hongyi who were present were also slightly surprised.
The three of them have known each other for many years and know each other's temperament.
Although Wang Xiang looks easygoing on the outside, he is actually upright on the inside, and most people don't like him.
Unexpectedly, when I met Du Fei today, after only a few words, it seemed like we felt like old friends at first sight.
Originally, Gu Bingzhong was afraid of being left in the cold, but now his worries were in vain.
Then a few people sat down, drinking tea and chatting.
Du Fei didn't care what dish he ordered. He must have Director Lou and Mr. Wang accompanying him, so Uncle Gu's meal couldn't be more miserable.
Sure enough, in a short time, eight major dishes were served in succession, many of which required ingredients to be prepared a day or two in advance.
The wine was two bottles of aged Xifeng wine brought by Uncle Gu.
Xiao Wang came over to enjoy the meal, and also acted as a waiter at the table, holding a wine bottle and pouring a round of wine.
Uncle Gu offered a drink, and then everyone relaxed and no one was asking for help.
But just now Du Fei said that if he wanted to toast Director Lou, he must not break his promise.
And Mr. Wang claimed that he would punish himself with three cups of wine, and Kai Ran agreed...
Until, the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors.
Uncle Gu finally had some free time and started talking about serious matters. "Xiao Du, let me apologize to you first. I'm not asking you to come here to catch mice in our grain depot."
Du Fei smiled and said, "Look what you said, it's just to catch mice. Even if I'm a really magical cat, you can't afford to invite me here! This meal costs twenty yuan, and I'm sure you won't be able to get off!"
Gu Bingzhong smiled bitterly and looked at Director Lou and Mr. Wang. He meant, "Look, what did I say?"
With? "
Lou and Wang also smiled.
Now it's time to be honest.
Director Lou coughed and interjected, "Xiao Du~ To tell you the truth, the body of the 'Gray Immortal' that Tongrentang Qian Yong sold was finally bought by me."
Du Fei slapped his thigh and said, "Look what happened! If I had known you wanted that thing, I would have given it to Sister Lou directly. What else are you selling!"
Director Lou smiled and did not answer the question, and continued, "I went back to find an expert to identify it, and the gray fairy was indeed hunted by 'some kind of' cat. But..."
Having said this, Director Lou couldn't help but take a deep look at Du Fei and said slowly, "But the expert is very sure that it couldn't have been caused by a cat. He suspected it was a lynx or a cheetah."
Du Fei was noncommittal, thinking that even lynx and cheetah might not be able to defeat Xiao Wu.
And he didn't understand. What did Director Lou mean by saying this?
If you don't understand, then shut up and don't pretend to understand.
Director Lou didn't give in, and continued, "We want to confirm that your cat can indeed hunt the Gray Immortal, and the specific location at that time."
Du Fei frowned, becoming increasingly confused about the intentions of these three people.
He looked at Gu Bingzhong and Wang Xiang and asked, "Is this what you two mean?"
The two of them remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing wrong with the first one."
He said and looked at Xiao Wang, "Xiao Wu often goes to work with me, and Xiao Wang can always be seen. Although he is a bit bigger, he is just an ordinary house cat."
Xiao Wang rolled his eyes at the side and thought to himself, is that really ‘bigger’?
That's more than twice the size of an ordinary cat, isn't it?
It's just that this occasion is not suitable for complaining, so he can only swallow these words in his stomach.
"As for the second point..." Du Fei hesitated, "It's not that I don't want to reveal it, but I actually don't know where that big rat came from."
Gu Bingzhong, the three of them all frowned.
Du Fei turned a blind eye and continued, "To be honest, I slept all night that day, and early the next morning I found Xiao Wu picking up a big mouse and throwing it into the house. , I have to smoke it!”
Hearing what Du Fei said, the five people present, except Du Fei and Xiao Wang, who didn't know what was going on, all looked disappointed.
Wang Xiang couldn't help but sigh, picked up the cup and drank all the wine in one gulp, "Oh~ it seems like this joy is in vain again!"
Director Lou and Uncle Gu also remained silent.
Du Fei glanced at the three of them, and finally focused on Director Lou, and asked, "Uncle Lou, what's going on with you guys? You've confused me."
Director Lou smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you this. It's been almost twenty years..."
Then he looked at Gu Bingzhong and Wang Xiang.
Seeing that they had no objection, he continued, "This matter started when Japan surrendered twenty years ago. At that time, the commander of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, Sumita Raishiro..."
Du Fei was also surprised when he heard Lou Hongyi's narration.
This old devil, Sumita Raishiro, has been wreaking havoc on the land of China for many years, plundering countless gold and silver treasures.
But in 1945, after Japan surrendered.
However, Sumita Raishiro escaped and returned to Japan by bribing Yan Xishan and on the condition of "turning the surrendering Japanese troops into mercenaries and helping Yan Xishan fight the civil war." Although Lou Hongyi disliked his son-in-law privately, he would not show it in front of outsiders.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Oh! It's not like a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple! Sister Lou and I live in the same courtyard, door to door! When something happened to my family, I relied on Sister Lou to help me. Uncle Lou, I didn't expect to see you here today. , I will give you a toast later!”

Director Lou smiled and did not answer the question, and continued, "I went back to find an expert to identify it. The Great Gray Immortal was indeed hunted by 'some kind of' cat. But..."
Having said this, Director Lou couldn't help but take a deep look at Du Fei and said slowly, "But the expert was very sure that it couldn't have been caused by a cat. He suspected it was a lynx or a cheetah."
Du Fei did not comment, thinking that lynx and cheetah might not be able to defeat Xiao Wu.
And he was a little confused. What did Director Lou mean by these words?
Since he did not understand, he should shut up and not pretend to understand.
Director Lou did not keep him in suspense and continued, "We want to confirm that your cat can indeed hunt down the Gray Immortal, and the specific location at that time."
Du Fei frowned, and became more and more confused about the intentions of the three people.
He looked at Gu Bingzhong and Wang Xiang and asked, "Is this what you two meant?"
The two did not say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement.
Du Fei thought for a while and said, "The first one is fine."
He looked at Xiao Wang and said, "Xiao Wu often goes to the unit with me, Xiao Wang can always see it. Although it is a little big, it is just the breed of an ordinary domestic cat."
Xiao Wang rolled his eyes beside him and thought, is that a little big?
That is more than twice as big as an ordinary cat!
It's just that this occasion is not suitable for complaining, so he can only swallow these words.
"As for the second point..." Du Fei hesitated, "It's not that I don't want to reveal it, but I don't know where the big rat came from."
Gu Bingzhong and the other two frowned.
Du Fei turned a blind eye and continued, "To be honest, I slept all night that day, and the next morning I found that Xiao Wu brought back a big rat and threw it into the house. If it wasn't for the wounds, I would have beaten it!"
After hearing Du Fei's words, the five people present, except Du Fei and Xiao Wang, who didn't know the truth, showed disappointment.
Wang Xiang couldn't help but sigh, picked up the glass and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "Alas~ It seems that it's another false joy!"
Director Lou and Uncle Gu were also silent.
Du Fei glanced at the three people, and finally locked on Director Lou, and asked, "Uncle Lou, what's going on with you? I'm confused."
Director Lou smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's nothing to tell you about this. It's been almost 20 years..."
He looked at Gu Bingzhong and Wang Xiang.
Seeing that they had no objection, he continued, "This matter started from the surrender of the Japanese twenty years ago. At that time, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi, Sumita Raishiro..."
Du Fei was also surprised when he heard Lou Hongyi's narration.
Sumita Raishiro, this old devil, had been wreaking havoc on the land of China for many years, looting countless gold and silver treasures.
But in 1945, after Japan surrendered.
Sumita Raishiro bribed Yan Xishan and returned to Japan with the condition of "turning the surrendered Japanese army into mercenaries to help Yan Xishan fight the civil war".
