Chapter 8 Leave the ID to me

After Zhang Guifu heard what the guest said, the hand holding the wine bottle stopped in mid-air, and his head couldn't turn around for a moment. Transfer? He suspected that he had heard wrong, and asked the guest with his eyes wide open:

"What did you say?"

"I asked you to transfer the dumpling restaurant to me." The guest took the wine bottle from Zhang Guifu's hand, filled Zhang Guifu's and his own wine glasses, and repeated with a smile.

"Ah! How can this be done? It's only been half a year since I opened my business. No! No!" Zhang Guifu waved his hand quickly.

"Don't be too busy waving your hands, just listen to me." The guest raised his glass to Zhang Guifu. Seeing that Zhang Guifu didn't respond, he put the glass to his mouth and took a sip.

"The rent here is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. It is usually half a year's rent paid in advance. It's almost half a year now, and there shouldn't be much rent left. The decoration and these tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans only cost at most.

It’s worth 10,000 yuan. If you open this store, you’ll only spend 30,000 yuan at most. That’s pretty much what I said, right?”

"Absolutely." Zhang Guifu replied. In fact, he knew that he would only spend 20,000 yuan at most.

"I'll give you 50,000 yuan, can I transfer it?" the guest asked, staring at Zhang Guifu.

"50,000?" Zhang Guifu's eyes widened, thinking that if 50,000 were transferred to him, he would earn 30,000 immediately.

"Yes, 50,000! Will it be transferred?"

"But why do you want this dumpling restaurant? You don't look like a restaurant owner."

"Of course I will continue to open a dumpling restaurant!"

"Can you make dumplings?"

"Don't worry, if you transfer this store to me, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Guifu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, thinking that he might not be able to earn 30,000 yuan after working for a year, so it would be appropriate to transfer it to him. After earning 30,000 yuan, I can find another place to open a dumpling restaurant. So.

He nodded and said:

"50,000 is not enough. I have put a lot of effort into this dumpling restaurant in the past six months, and it has already attracted many regular customers." Zhang Guifu didn't want to sell it to him without even paying the price.

"Okay, I'll give you another increase, 80,000! However, I have a condition."

"Conditions? What conditions?" Zhang Guifu asked in surprise.

"Leave your ID card for me." The guest said, placing the wine glass heavily on the table.

"ID card? Why do you need an ID card? Don't you have an ID card? You, you, you are a fugitive?" Zhang Guifu pointed at the guest and said nervously.

"Hey, don't be nervous. I'm not a bad person, do you think I look like a bad person?" The guest said, taking out a rather high-end wallet from his pocket, taking out his ID card from the wallet and handing it to Zhang Guifu.

Zhang Guifu finally found out that his surname was indeed Meng, and the photo matched the person in front of him. He was about to return the ID card to the guest, but felt that the photo looked familiar. So he took out his ID card and the guest's.

Put your ID cards together.

"Huh? These two photos really look alike?" Zhang Guifu exclaimed.

"Didn't you notice that we look alike?" the guest said with a smile.

When the guest said this, Zhang Guifu suddenly realized that this was the case. He thought the guest looked so familiar.

"You have your own ID card, so why do you want mine?" Zhang Guifu asked again.

"Did you apply for a business license when you opened your store?" the customer asked.

"I've done it. Isn't my license hanging on the wall?"

"Yeah, if you sell the store to me, if it's in my name, will you have to pay tax?" the customer said.

"Pay tax? What is it called?"

"You made money selling the store, and it's a lot of money. Of course you have to pay taxes. Besides, if you change it to my name, you have to go through a lot of procedures and still spend money." The customer said.

"Then I give you my ID card, how do I use it?" Zhang Guifu asked.

"You can just go home and apply for a new one. Just say you lost your ID card and go to the police station to apply for a new one. It will be done in three days," the customer said.

Zhang Guifu looked at the guest hesitantly, thinking that such a good thing could happen, 80,000 yuan! When will I be able to earn so much money? After thinking for a moment, Zhang Guifu gritted his teeth and nodded and said:

"Okay! It's up to you."

"Okay, let's drink a toast!" The guest smiled and picked up his wine glass, Zhang Guifu also picked up his wine glass, their glasses clinked, and each drank the wine in their glasses.

This time it was Zhang Guifu who picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine. He first filled the guest's glass, and then filled his own wine glass.

"I have another condition." The guest suddenly added another condition. Zhang Guifu felt cold at this moment and thought, is the guest going to regret it?

"Say." Zhang Guifu said, glaring at the guest.

"After I pay the money, you must leave Zhongjiang City immediately, and you will never be able to do business here again. Moreover, the transaction between us must always be kept secret. Even your wife cannot tell it," the guest said slowly.

"This..." At this time, Zhang Guifu felt that there still seemed to be something wrong with this guest. He lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip, thinking about what he should do. Leave Zhongjiang City? In fact, he didn't.

What? This is not his home, and he has not been here long. It’s not that he doesn’t want to agree, but he feels that the guest’s request is a bit strange, so he doesn’t know how to answer it for the time being.

Seeing that he was silent, the guest also picked up the wine glass and took a sip himself. After putting the glass down, he said:

"How about this? For the sake of our fate, I will add another 20,000 to round up the whole number. You can pack up and leave Zhongjiang tonight."

Zhang Guifu finally failed to withstand the temptation of money, so he packed up his clothes that night and took the train back to Jiangbei. After returning to Jiangbei, he rented a larger door in this place in Beijiang City and has been working there to this day.

.

It was already past 9 pm when Su Le and Zhang Pengfei returned to Zhongjiang City. After leaving the station, they drove from the parking lot and went straight to the Dongcheng Branch.

The office of the Criminal Police Team was brightly lit. Recently, a group of car thieves were operating in Dongcheng. Most of the people in the team were relying on this case. He Xiaohui was currently in the conference room arranging work, and Su Le and Zhang Pengfei could not disturb them. They saw the people in the office.

There were instant noodles in the corner, so the two of them made a pack each and ate while waiting for He Xiaohui.

"Hey, these two handsome guys are back. Come on, come to my office." As soon as the door of the conference room rang, He Xiaohui walked out of the conference room first.

Su Le and Zhang Pengfei quickly cleaned up the mess and followed He Xiaohui.

"Pengfei, bring me a pack too. I felt hungry when I smelled the instant noodles." He Xiaohui turned around and said.

He Xiaohui was eating instant noodles in her office after listening to Su Le and Zhang Pengfei's reports, and asked them:

"What do we do next?"

"What else can we do? Not only can't we find the person, but now we can't even figure out who is missing," Zhang Pengfei said.

"I only know that this person's surname is Meng and he is from Jiangbei Province." Su Le added.

"We later asked Zhang Guifu to think about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember the name of the person. He only remembered that his surname was Meng." Zhang Pengfei said.

"Are there any other clues?" He Xiaohui asked.

"Later, we asked how the guest paid Zhang Guifu 100,000 yuan that night. We thought it was unlikely that the person was walking around with more than 100,000 yuan on his back. We hope the payment was completed by bank transfer," Su Le replied.

"But Zhang Guifu told us that the customer took him to several ATMs that night and withdrew a full 100,000 yuan in cash and gave it to him," Zhang Pengfei added.

"Oh, by the way, Team He, have the analysis results of the search at Hongqu Dumpling House come out?" Su Le asked.

"By the way, you see, I have forgotten about this." He Xiaohui patted his head and said to Su Le and Zhang Pengfei:

"Liang Bai's report has come out. The footprints inside and outside the dumpling restaurant are relatively messy. The interior is covered with hardened floors, so there is no analytical value. The discovery of fingerprints is a bit interesting. There are many places on the rolling shutter door, stair handrails and the second floor.

I found the fingerprints of two people except the shop owner himself. They were all left recently and were of high definition. After analysis, it was confirmed that they were the fingerprints of a man and a woman. And from the order of the fingerprints left, it can be found that the male left the fingerprints.

Fingerprints are taken first, and women’s fingerprints are left last.”

"Are you saying that maybe two people entered the dumpling restaurant after the owner disappeared?" Su Le asked.

"Based on the freshness of the fingerprints and the order in which they were left, we can deduce this." He Xiaohui nodded.

"This is compared with the clues provided by Uncle Sun. It seems that someone really entered the dumpling restaurant last night."

"right!"

"If there is really a man and a woman who entered the dumpling restaurant after the owner disappeared, what is the relationship between these two people and the owner? Do they know the owner's whereabouts?" Su Le said to himself.

"This is exactly what we want to find out." He Xiaohui said.

"Team He, what should we do next?" Zhang Pengfei asked.

"There is surveillance on the pedestrian street, and most shops now have surveillance cameras installed. You can start from this aspect. See if any cameras captured the footage of the man and the woman that night." He Xiaohui said.

"Okay, I'll check this matter. I'm familiar with the situation in the pedestrian street," Su Le said.

"Also, when you went to Jiangbei this time, didn't you learn that the owner of the dumpling house is from Jiangbei and his surname is Meng?" He Xiaohui said.

"Yes!" Su Le nodded and said.

"Let's start with these two points and find out the real owner of the dumpling restaurant first," Zhang Pengfei said.

"Well, we can first check the missing persons in Jiangbei Province and the fugitives across the country. Since this person looks very similar to Zhang Guifu, his appearance and fingerprints are resources we can use." He Xiaohui added.

"Yes!" Su Le and Zhang Pengfei agreed and exited He Xiaohui's office.

Su Le and Zhang Pengfei divided their responsibilities. Su Le was responsible for the investigation of missing persons and the situation on the pedestrian street, while Zhang Pengfei was responsible for fingerprint and appearance screening.

Su Le did not go home after coming out of the branch. Instead, he went directly to the police station to watch the video. He worked at the police station until late at night but found no valuable clues. He just slept in the police station for a while.

Early the next morning, Su Le received a WeChat message from her mother:

"Lele, what have you been busy with these days and you haven't gone home? Come to the bureau today. Mom has something to ask you."

Su Le saw her mother's WeChat message and thought that she hadn't been home for a few days. She happened to have to go to the city bureau today to check on missing persons, so she sent her mother a WeChat message:

"OK."
