Cheng Yu smiled and said: "This is not a wholesaler. The positioning Hu Jiang gave us from the beginning was actually not the owner of an auto repair shop, but our colleagues in the northwest."
Lao Bian nodded again and said, "Well, that's what I mean."
"So, I thought about the journey we had taken since we met the first person. In fact, apart from the group of people they mentioned, we only reduced it to the three card partners and the one with whom we met.
A guy who brings food with women.
The place where Master Sun drove to was a relatively normal logistics warehouse. They just borrowed it to make it look like they had a warehouse.
But there is a warehouse but no samples, which is the biggest contradiction."
At this time, Sun Jiancheng interjected: "After I passed by just now, the man asked me to park the car in a parking space, brought me two bottles of water, and asked me to wait in the car without getting out of the car.
I noticed that the man got into a warehouse and disappeared. Until Mr. Cheng called me and I drove out, the man never appeared again."
After hearing this, Lao Bian frowned and said, "In that case, maybe even that guy is just an extra?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "Probably not. What he asked us before was directly involved in the facts of the crime."
"That's true."
After a while, Lao Bian said again: "But this line was provided by our informant. This line has been available for many years. He should not lie."
In response, Cheng Yu could only shake his head and said: "This is indeed a problem. I think something went wrong somewhere. Anyway, that Hu Jiang doesn't look like he is really doing this kind of illegal business, he is more like a liar."
Lao Bian thought for a while and said: "That's true. That guy still seemed to have a special sense of justice in the room. He said he was seeking money and killing people. The source was them. How could he have the nerve to say that others were seeking money and killing people? I should have noticed it earlier.
At this point, it seems that guy looks down on the people who buy and sell these spare parts."
Cheng Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, this is also a doubtful point."
"Okay, Mr. Cheng, just put me down at the front. I won't go back to the hospital with you. I'll contact the informant and ask more questions."
Cheng Yu said: "Don't ask in a hurry. Since he is an informant who has been cooperating for a long time, there should be no problem. He knows who you are, and he defrauded you with that Hu Jiang. Isn't that asking for death? What's going on here?
Maybe there are other reasons."
Lao Bian was at a loss. What Cheng Yu said made sense. The informant would lie about this kind of thing unless he thought he had a long life. It could only be said that there was something wrong with the informant's information.
"How to do it?"
"You should go back to the station first. It is not convenient for your police to investigate this matter in a big way. I will go back and find a private detective to find out the details."
Lao Bianyi frowned and said, "Private detective?"
Cheng Yu laughed dumbly, thinking that this once again touched upon Lao Bian's bottom line.
"He's just investigating some extramarital affairs or catching an adulterer. His official job is as a paparazzi. He has a way with this kind of thing."
Only then did Lao Bian feel relieved and said, "That's okay, but let your friend be careful."
Cheng Yu nodded, asked Sun Jiancheng to pull over and left Lao Bian on the side of the road.
In fact, if there is no paparazzi or private detective, it is simply Cheng Yu himself.
Cheng Yu planned to go to the grocery store to check again at night, and since there was a bug like the wall penetration technique, Cheng Yu wanted to check that this kind of thing couldn't be easier.
After returning to the Military Region General Hospital, Cheng Yu went back to the ward and took a look. In fact, the nursing staff didn't have much to do. This was probably the easiest job for her to make money.
Seeing Cheng Yu come back, the nurse briefly explained the situation. Of course, there was nothing wrong, she just reported to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu called Ning Kezhu, who briefly told her that she had successfully become acting chairman.
"It seems that everything went well?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
"It's not going too smoothly, but your father left a backup plan and the matter has been temporarily resolved. How is your father today?"
"That's it, I'll be unconscious all the time. I've arranged for a caregiver. Are you going to come over soon?"
Ning Kezhu thought for a while and said: "I need to know about many of the company's projects as soon as possible. Although I have prevented others from taking the position of acting chairman, I can't just sit there. Please work harder these two days and keep an eye on me.
It won’t go away. I’ll go see your dad tomorrow morning.”
"Okay, then I'll go back later."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu stayed in the ward for a while, and it was time for the nursing staff to change shifts.
After a few words of advice to the night shift nurse, Cheng Yu looked at Cheng Guangnian, who was still lying on the hospital bed, sighed slightly in his heart, and left the hospital.
On the way back, Cheng Yu sent a WeChat message to Du Xiaoyu. When he learned that Du Xiaoyu had returned home, he made an appointment with her at a nearby restaurant.
After the meeting, Du Xiaoyu also asked about Cheng Guangnian's situation. Cheng Yu told the truth and had nothing else to say.
After eating, Cheng Yu sent Du Xiaoyu back, saying that he wanted to visit the Peach Blossom Spring, but he hadn't been there for a long time.
Du Xiaoyu didn't say anything more. He nodded and said, "Drink less."
She thought Cheng Yu was depressed and wanted to be alone.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I don't drink. Lend me your car."
Du Xiaoyu gave the car keys to Cheng Yu and worriedly warned him again: "Don't drink while driving."
"Don't worry, I'm not going to drink to drown my sorrows. It's just that the company's affairs have been handed over to the management. I can't just ignore them at all. Then there are Xue Changyun's shares."
Du Xiaoyu saw that Cheng Yu was in pretty good condition, so she nodded and let him leave.
Driving the car, Cheng Yu drove towards the place he had visited in the afternoon.
One south and one north, we passed through the entire Wudong City. Fortunately, it was already past seven o'clock, and although the roads were not that smooth, there was finally no traffic jam.
It took more than an hour, almost nine o'clock, before Cheng Yu drove the car to the location of the logistics warehouse.
Cheng Yu drove past the logistics warehouse he had seen during the day, and then saw the grocery store.
Sure enough, as Cheng Yu guessed, this grocery store mainly does some passing business. It is estimated that even the employees of the nearby logistics companies will not enter the store, so before nine o'clock, the grocery store is quite empty.
The lights were all gone, and it had obviously been closed for a long time.
After driving the car for almost a kilometer, Cheng Yu saw a living area. At a glance, almost all the people walking on the road were workers wearing various logistics uniforms.
It seems that this is where the dormitories of these logistics companies are located, and most of the logistics workers live nearby.
A short street is full of various small restaurants, food stalls, barbecue stalls, etc., all of which are small businessmen who depend on these logistics companies to survive.
After finding a place, Cheng Yu parked the car in a less conspicuous place, then found a barbecue stall and ordered some skewers. He was originally going to order two bottles of beer, but when he thought of Du Xiaoyu's advice, he ordered one.
Had herbal tea and sat down.
It was almost nine o'clock, not long after dinner, and the midnight snack had not yet fully started. Most of the stores were very slow in business.
While the boss was grilling skewers, Cheng Yu took out a pack of cigarettes that he had prepared long ago and handed one to the boss.
The boss took the cigarette, glanced at the yellow 95 Supreme box worth 100 yuan in Cheng Yu's hand, sniffed the cigarette at the end of his nose, and said, "What a good smoke."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "It's not bad."
"You look quite strange..."
The kebab shop owner lit the cigarette and took a greedy puff.
Cheng Yu smiled again and said, "I just graduated and went to help my father's company. I was late by accident. The workers said there was a barbecue here, so I wanted to come over and have something to eat."
The boss smiled, his dark skin turning red under the charcoal fire.
"The rich second generation..."
"It's just a small company, not a rich second generation company."
"Then let's see who you compare with, compare with us, you will definitely be the rich second generation."
Cheng Yu laughed, lit a cigarette himself, and asked, "Business is usually good?"
"It's not bad, I can support my family. Every business here is pretty much the same. They only rely on people like you who run logistics companies to survive."
"Haha, we don't live by us, we live by the workers."
"Without your company, there wouldn't be so many workers. But now the business is not as good as before."
"Oh? Why?"
"There are fewer workers. Many jobs have been taken away by machines, and there are not as many workers as before."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "That's true. We seem to have fewer workers than in previous years."
"But you earn a lot. You even earn more if you have fewer workers."
Cheng Yu blew out the smoke and said, "Maybe, I don't know much about this."
"Oh, by the way, which family is yours?"
"Hengyun..." Cheng Yu said the name of the company that owned the warehouse where Sun Jiancheng had been.
"Hengyun, it is an older company in this area. Workers from your company often come to my place, and I am familiar with many of them. You are not at the right time. Please wait for the logistics to leave.
Some people will come over to have something to eat... Oh, they are not off duty, so don't..."
Cheng Yu smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's okay, every company is the same. I can understand this. You can't let workers work hungry. As long as it doesn't delay work, I won't be troublesome."
"That's good, I'll chat with you all day long, don't look back and let those people have their money deducted because of my nonsense."
"No, no, no..."
Cheng Yu saw that the boss's cigarette was almost on the holder and still reluctant to throw it away, so he handed him another one.
Then, Cheng Yu asked: "Do you know where our company is?"
"They're all together. Oh, there's a grocery store diagonally across from your company."
Cheng Yu nodded, thinking that what I want is for you to know.
It seemed that I was pretty lucky. On my first try, I found someone who knew the grocery store.
"I just came here for the first time yesterday, and I looked a little strange at that grocery store."
The owner of the barbecue stall didn't even raise his head, and smiled and said: "You think that store has no business, right? But, how can you, a young man, pay attention to such a thing? Aren't you supposed to be sitting in the office?"
"I have told you a long time ago that I am not a rich second generation, let alone a young man. Although my current job is not the kind of manual work that workers do, it is not the kind of physical work you imagine sitting in
Just sit in the office with your legs crossed, drink tea and smoke."
The owner of the barbecue stall nodded and said, "Well, you don't look like it. I looked at your skinny skin and tender flesh. I thought you were here to take over your father's shift as the boss!"
"Of course the boss is the boss, but I go through thick and thin with the workers."
"Hey, that's not easy. That grocery store used to be pretty normal."
Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? How do you say that?"
"It used to be a grocery store. I know the boss. He was actually a manager of your company."
Cheng Yu frowned and asked tentatively: "Hu Jiang, Manager Hu?"
"Haha, you also know about this, but yes, the company must have known about it, so he put the store out."
"Put it out?" Cheng Yu's heart moved slightly. He knew that he should have come into contact with something substantial.
"Yes, the deal was sold out not long ago. It was less than a month ago. But didn't you say you just came yesterday? Then Manager Hu has resigned for a month, do you still know him?"
Cheng Yu's heart skipped a beat, Hu Jiang had already resigned? And it's been a month? This further proves that "Hu Jiang" in the grocery store is a complete imposter.
As he was thinking in his mind, he was also quickly making up lies in his mouth.
Cheng Yu said: "After all, it is my family's property. You may say that I don't recognize all the workers below, but I know the manager's name anyway."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant shook the skewers in his hand and asked, "Do you want chili?"
“Slightly spicy.”
"That's true..." The owner of the barbecue restaurant sprinkled a handful of chili noodles on the skewers, nodded and said to himself: "After all, he is a manager. That manager Hu..."
Cheng Yu knew that there was something about to be revealed, so he pretended to ask casually and said, "What's wrong? It seems that you look down on him?"
The owner of the barbecue stall snorted and laughed dryly: "As a barbecue seller, how dare I look down on such a big manager? And I don't work under him, and I don't have much dealings with him, so there's no way I can look down on him."
Cheng Yuqing knew that something was going on here, but it was not convenient for him to ask urgently, so he smiled casually and said: "From your tone, it seems that you are a little resentful. Come on, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask more questions. Anyway, that guy Already resigned, I haven’t even met him, no matter what.”
The barbecue stall owner nodded and said no more.
When Cheng Yu saw this, he could only say: "It's almost done, right?"
"One more minute."
Cheng Yu nodded, returned to the table and sat down, as if he was just a person who came to eat skewers and casually chatted with the owner of the barbecue stall.
Soon, the barbecue stall owner brought the grilled meat skewers to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu thanked him, picked up a meat skewer, and pulled it off with his teeth.
Not to mention, it tastes good.
"The craftsmanship is very good and it's delicious." Cheng Yu praised it and picked up another one.
The boss smiled shyly and said, "I'm not bragging. My skewers are definitely more delicious than 90% of Wudong's barbecue."
"Oh? So confident?"
"It's not that I'm confident, mainly because most skewers now buy ready-made ingredients, and all the skewers come from the cold storage. My wife and I make all the skewers one by one, and most of them are Some of them are made with fresh ingredients, so they definitely taste better.”
"Hey, this is really a lot of work..." Cheng Yu nodded in agreement, and then seeing that the boss had no intention of leaving, he said: "There is no business anyway, let's sit and chat for a while."
After saying that, he picked up a paper towel and wiped his hands, took out the cigarette case, took a cigarette and threw it to the barbecue stall owner.
After the boss ordered it, he actually sat opposite Cheng Yu.
"Actually, I can see that it's a lie that you came to eat skewers, but it's true that you asked Manager Hu about it!"
Cheng Yu raised his head, smiled and said, "How do you say it?"
"If a young man like you is really hungry, what's better than eating a bowl of noodles or ordering two dishes alone? How can you come here to eat skewers without a few friends? What's more, you are still driving a car You can’t even drink wine when you come.”
Cheng Yu laughed, thinking that this was really the wisdom of the working people.
"Furthermore, you seemed to be chatting with me casually, but your purpose was actually very clear, which was to go to the grocery store. After smoking your good cigarettes, and since no one else wants to grill skewers, I will follow you Let’s chat a little more. Anyway, that manager Hu has quit.”
Cheng Yu simply threw the box of cigarettes over: "Just because you saw my purpose, these cigarettes belong to you."
The owner of the barbecue stall was not polite. He picked up the box of cigarettes, took out a tissue, wiped the box carefully, and then put it in his pocket.
"That Hu Jiang is actually an old man in this area. I also worked under him for a while."
"Have you also worked as a logistics worker?"
“For a while, the road construction here made it impossible to do business at all.
The municipal government told us that it would take half a year to build the road, and then they also waived our rent for the other half of the year, which was considered as compensation for the delay in our business.
My wife and I were talking about two things. My son was just born at the time. We had to make ends meet. We couldn’t make ends meet just by eating, and we didn’t know what to do. So I asked a worker who often ate barbecue at my place to find out which company was hiring.
As a result, he ended up working under Hu Jiang.
He was not in your company at that time, but he was in Dayun...the third company to the west of your company..."
Cheng Yu nodded and pretended that he knew.
"Then I worked for three months..."
"Doesn't it take half a year to build a road? Why did it only take three months?"
The owner of the barbecue stall threw the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground angrily and crushed it with his feet, as if he had poured all his resentment on the cigarette butt.
"How about I despise that guy? You know he stuffs personal items in the company's car, right?"
Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? In fact, this kind of thing is usually not necessary, right? Just say hello to a manager, and even if the company is transporting a bed, it will usually help transport it. Why do you need to make a name for yourself in private?
