'Liquid Market' is the first mission in the Mr. Faber Work contact mission series, added as part of the Money Fronts DLC. Your primary objective is to recover stashed whiskey bottles from Thomson's Scrapyard.
To begin, you'll need to break into a runner's house and use their laptop to uncover clues regarding the whiskey bottles' location within the scrapyard.
For the highest profit, you can complete a bonus objective that rewards you with an additional $10k. For that, you must locate two bags of cocaine hidden inside the runner's house.
Both the cocaine bags and the whiskey bottles are found in random locations. The guide provides all possible locations and outlines a strategy for completing this mission solo on hard mode.
Runner's House
When you get to the runner's house, you can either shoot the lock or pick it. You'll have a lockpick provided at the start of the mission. Just walk up to the door and use the lockpick to begin a small mini-game.
This mini-game involves following on-screen prompts to successfully pick the lock. If you're on a console or using a controller, you'll see analog stick prompts, while PC players will get keyboard and mouse inputs.

Once inside the house, before you do anything else, feed the dog by interacting with its bowl. A fed dog won't alert anyone, which is crucial if you wish to maximize your profit by stealing the cocaine in addition to the whiskey.

The cocaine bags spawn in two of five possible locations, and these spots are random each time you play the mission. You'll find a list of all five potential locations below.
The cocaine is on the big shelf next to the books.

Flash Drive & Hacking
After securing the cocaine bags, you can move on to the main objective: finding the flash drive. This is always located on the wooden shelf in the living room and will be marked as you approach it.

Once you have the flash drive, head to the bedroom and interact with the laptop. Here, you'll need to guess the password. You get five attempts, and correct letters in the right spot will light up green. You'll be essentially brute-forcing your way in.
Hacking the laptop inside the Runner's house.
If you fail all five attempts, an alarm will sound, and guards will storm the house. However, a helpful trick is to exit the hacking interface on your last attempt and then re-entering it. This resets your attempts and keeps the guards from being alerted.
Common passwords include DIXON, LBRTY, and CANIS.
Whiskey Bottles
Next, you'll need to get your hands on four whiskey bottles from Thomson's Scrapyard. As you leave the runner's house, some enemies will show up. Quickly jump in your vehicle and head straight off-road (or to your right if you're looking directly out from the house) to easily avoid them.
Exit the house area from here to avoid enemies.
Once you reach Thomson's Scrapyard, your task is to find those four stashed whiskey bottles using the clues from the runner's laptop. There are 12 potential spawn locations within the scrapyard. Before you start hunting for the bottles, though, make sure to clear out the scrapyard by eliminating all the guards and distracting any guard dogs.
Always aim for the head.
Eliminating the guards is straightforward; just stay out of their cones of vision and away from security cameras. Use a suppressed weapon and aim for headshots. Avoid taking down a guard if another can see them (one guard inside another's cone of vision), as this will trigger an alert.
To distract the dogs, find their food bowls marked with a bone icon on your minimap and interact with them. The nearest dog will head for the bowl, leaving you unnoticed.

With the area secure, you can now start your search for the whiskey bottles. Out of 12 possible locations, only four will spawn randomly each time you play. You can access the clues by checking your in-game text messages or by using the on-screen prompt that displays them.
Runner's Notes showing the clues.
As you approach a whiskey bottle based on a clue, it will be highlighted in green on your minimap, and a physical green arrow will point to the dirt mound where it's stashed.
Below are all 12 clues and their corresponding locations:
