Chapter 21 The glass bottle in the wooden box!
The "secret product" was found, but it took Liu Chen a lot of effort to open it.
The wax paper packaging of Dabian Balm was removed, and there was a cork box inside.
I knocked open a side panel with a dagger, and it was probably obvious that it was a small cylindrical thing, but it was wrapped in oil paper.
After removing the greased paper, there were several layers of thick cotton cloth wrapped inside.
Remove the thick cotton cloth, and the inside is still greased paper.
After tearing the last layer of oil paper, the "dark goods" finally revealed their true appearance-
A thick glass bottle that sealed the bottle with wax.
Liu Chen looked at the light of the fire slit. The bottle contained a slightly yellow liquid. He shook it gently with his hands, and it felt a little sticky.
"What is this?" Baoshun couldn't help asking after looking closer for a long time.
"How could I know!" Liu Chen was also puzzled.
Liu Chen originally wanted to use a dagger to pry open the wax seal, but after thinking about it, the game should be wrapped so tightly. Maybe it was because it was easy to evaporate and it might be poisonous.
Besides, even if you disassemble it yourself, you may not be able to recognize what it is.
So I put away my thoughts of further exploration, wrapped the bottle according to the original wrapping method, and stuffed it back into the cork box.
If it can be stored in valuable cigarette paste, it will definitely not be a cheap thing. Of course, Liu Chen will not stay here.
After stuffing the cork box into his arms, he asked Baoshun to do it together and put a few boxes containing the big edge balm to restore the scene to its original state.

When Liu Chen and Baoshun returned to Jiang Liehu's house, Boss Lin of Batong Trading finally waited for the news that he had been thinking about.
"What, all dead?" Boss Lin stood up in surprise, and confirmed again in disbelief: "Jin Yanbiao is dead too?"
"Die." The maid who went to Dawading to investigate the news nodded affirmatively and said, "The group of people in Bailu Mountain died in two places.
More than a dozen died on the mountain road, and the rest died in the forest. Jin Yanbiao also died in the forest and was shot several times."
"Where is the medicine?" Boss Lin didn't care where the bad bandits died, he only cared about the medicine.
"I didn't see you." The maid shook her head and explained, "When we arrived, it was too late and we didn't find any traces of the cart."
Boss Lin's face suddenly became gloomy and he didn't say anything for a long time.
After standing there and thinking for a while, trying hard to suppress the irritability in his heart, he waved his hand to the mascot: "Go down and call Lao Tang to me."
"Yes!" The maid didn't understand the job, so she didn't dare to ask for a reward, so she honestly left.
After a while, Lao Tang, the housekeeper of Lin's mansion, walked into the house, stood beside Boss Lin with his hands down, and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you calling me?"
"What's going on with Kobayashi Su?"
"No, those Japanese sat in the hall as if they were wood, and they didn't say a word to each other."
Boss Lin nodded and asked again: "Where is the side of Lao San?"
"I'm also very cautious and I went to bed early after eating. However... I asked Master Zhang to help them wrap the wound again.
Master Zhang came back and said that the injury on Yu Laosan's hand was shot. Also, the arms of the three of them were broken by someone."
"Hiss~How did the three of them get along with the Japanese?" Boss Lin closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice.
"Master, let those Japanese wait in the hall?" Old Tang asked carefully.
"Let's go and meet them and see what demons those little Japanese want to be!" Boss Lin said, stood up and stepped out of the house.
Boss Lin often travels outside the gates, not only with the guerrillas, but also with the Japanese and Manchuria.
Among the four Japanese who came back this time, the one who was named Kobayashi Su was considered one of Boss Lin’s “relationships”.
Kobayashi runs a trading company with a large number of scarce commodities shipped from Japan.
However, this guy is both smart and greedy in business. The price of things is extremely high, but he can always leave a little profit margin for his next company. It makes Boss Lin feel so painful every time he gets goods.
But there is also one advantage, that is, Kobayashi Su has a deep relationship with the Kwantung Army and the Japanese secret service agencies.
As long as the goods purchased from him are free of charge within Manchuria, they will not be disturbed even if they are transported to the pass, they will not be troubled when entering the pass.
So for Kobayashi Su, Boss Lin can be said to love and hate him.
When Xiaolin Su suddenly came to the door today, Boss Lin was waiting for news about Jin Yandai.
After waiting for a while, the agreed time has passed, and no letter has been sent back.
I was too lazy to deal with Kobayashi Su, so I asked the housekeeper to make excuses that he was still outside and asked him to wait in the living room.
Boss Lin did not go directly to the front hall, but instead stood attentively and went out through the side door. After hitting the outside, he looked like he was dusty and entered the shop through the main entrance.
Merchants are seeking profits and act in a play, but they have to do enough plays.
When entering the living room, Boss Lin's face was filled with apologetic smile, and he clasped his fists at Kobayashi Su: "Oh, Boss Kobayashi, I'm guilty. Hurry up, I'll have to wait for you for a long time."
"No, no, no, I took the liberty to come to the door and caused trouble for Lin Sang."
Kobayashi Su and his three subordinates were dressed as a Chinese, but they did not deliberately cover up in front of Boss Lin. They stood up and quickly bowed their heads and gave a standard Japanese gift.
"All friends, what's the trouble?" Boss Lin replied very much, then turned his head to the butler: "Old Tang, haven't you passed the message to you to prepare food?"
"It's been prepared long ago, but Mr. Kobayashi must wait for you to come back." Old Tang hurriedly arched his waist to explain.
"Oh, Boss Kobayashi, look at you! When I get here, it's like I'm at home. What are you going to be polite!" Boss Lin said in a strange way.
He made a gesture to the direction of the dining room: "Hurry, hurry up, get in the seat, let's talk while eating."
Kobayashi Su has been in China for more than ten years and has long been accustomed to the custom of Chinese people talking about things at the wine table.
After following Boss Lin to the table, he drank a few glasses of wine before he talked about the serious matter: "Lin Sang, this time he came to Zunhua is indeed a troublesome, I want to ask you."
"You said, I, Mr. Lin, have no other words!" As soon as I heard about the serious business, Boss Lin quickly put down his wine glass and listened carefully.
"To be honest, half a month ago, my business had a batch of important goods, which was robbed in Miaoling area. This time I came here just to ask you to help find the whereabouts."
"The goods? Let's talk about them easily. What kind of goods is it?" Boss Lin asked.
Afraid that Kobayashi Su thought too much, he quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong. If the other party robs your company's goods, he will definitely take action. I'll know what it is..."
"I understand, understand." Kobayashi Su nodded quickly to express his understanding without waiting for Boss Lin to finish explaining.
After hesitating for a while, he spoke: "I'm not hiding Lin Sang, I'm throwing a batch of balm, a large batch."
"How many?" Boss Lin asked subconsciously, the ointment belongs to the middle and high-end opium.
"A total of five hundred kilograms." Kobayashi Su had something to ask for, so he naturally told the truth.
But to be honest, it does not mean that you are talking about everything. Although balm is expensive, the bottle hidden in the balm is the top priority...
"Hiss~" Boss Lin sniffed and murmured: "That's really a lot. Don't worry, although I, Lin, are just a merchant, have some connections on the ground in Jidong.
As long as the person who robs the goods does not bring the goods to other places to take action, I will probably help you find out the news."
"Thank you very much." Kobayashi Su received the promise of Boss Lin, quickly corrected her sitting position and bowed her head and bowed.
Then I picked up the wine glass: "Lin Sang, as long as you help me find out the whereabouts of the lost goods, no matter whether you can find them in the end. In the future, the price of the goods will be 10% off when picking up the goods from our company.
