Under the umbrella of the tea shop, Wei Xiangzuo was smoking a cigarette and asked softly: "Have these people shown up elsewhere?"
"This group of people lived in Xishuiting Foot Spa City on the first day, and rented a house on Gangnei Sandao Street on the second day and paid one month's rent." Xiaofeng replied in a low voice: "After Mr. Gu was beaten to death,
These people have never been seen again."
Wei Xiangzuo thought about it for a long time: "Are you sure the people who go to the pedicure city and the people who rent houses are the same group of people?"
"Sure." Xiaofeng replied affirmatively: "The people in the pedicure city and the renters all told me that there is a man about 1.78 meters tall, with a short crew cut, small eyes, and half of his left ear is missing.
, the physical characteristics match.”
Wei Xiangzuo took a sip of tea and immediately ordered: "Call the person who rented the house and let's go over and have a look."
"Okay." Xiaofeng took out his mobile phone.
…
The Ma Gang has a large number of people, with disciples all over Hong Kong, and they have contacts and exchanges with all kinds of industries, some of which are even the Ma Gang's own industry, so it is not difficult for Wei Xiangzuo to find out some information in a place like this.
Maybe it might be easier than the police station pretending to come over to investigate the case.
In the afternoon, around two o'clock.
Wei Xiangzuo's car stopped at the intersection of Sandao Street in Gangnei. Everyone sat in the car and waited for a while. A middle-aged man in his fifties trotted over and pulled the door open to get in the car.
"Old Wei." The middle-aged man smiled and greeted Wei Xiangzuo.
"Ah," Wei Xiangzuo nodded at him: "I have something I want to ask you about."
"Is it still about the tenants?"
"Yes. Who are they?" Wei Xiangzuo asked bluntly.
"I really don't know the specific number of people." The middle-aged man thought about it and replied: "They were introduced by an agency to rent a house and came to talk to me. There are only two of them. One of them is about 1.78 meters tall.
Around seventy-nine years old, with a flat head, small eyes, and half of his left ear missing. Haha, as you know, my family has a lot of dilapidated houses here, so I negotiated the price and thought it was not a big problem, so I signed a contract with them.
contract."
"No proof of identity or anything?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.
"What kind of identification do I need for this shitty place? There are petty thieves, people who run water trucks, and people who smoke cigarettes. They all hang out in this area. How can they have identities? Haha, just rent it if you give me the money." The middle-aged man paused and replied.
Said: "Oh, by the way, one morning I went shopping and saw people in that courtyard. I saw only five people at that time, and the one with half an ear even said hello to me."
Wei Xiangzuo thought about it for a long time: "Can you confirm when they left?"
"The specific time cannot be determined," the middle-aged man paused and said, "but it must be after Mr. Gu is gone. To be honest, Old Wei, I heard that Mr. Gu was beaten to death, which made me feel quite vague. We heard that the shooter
There were six or seven of them, and they hadn't been caught, so I thought of the ones who were renting the house. Who knew that when I came over the next day, I found that they had really left. The house was clean, even the people at the door.
The rubbish has been cleared away.”
"Even the garbage has been cleaned up?!" Wei Xiangzuo was a little surprised.
"yes."
"You didn't report this to the official, did you?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.
"Am I sick?!" the middle-aged man replied speechlessly: "If you report this matter to the official, won't you be causing trouble for yourself? To put it bluntly, if you hadn't come to ask me about it, I wouldn't have been able to talk to anyone about this matter.
Tell me! Let’s wait until we get to the bottom of it.”
"Haha, thank you."
"It's okay, we have been friends for many years." The middle-aged man replied with a grin.
"Okay, I understand." Wei Xiangzuo nodded.
"Old Wei, do you think Mr. Gu... was really beaten to death by these people?" The middle-aged man asked with some worry: "I can't get into trouble, can I?"
"If you just rent a house, what trouble can you cause?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Okay, let's go first."
"Okay, see you later."
After the two finished talking, the middle-aged man got out of the car, and Wei Xiangzuo and others left.
After a while, Wei Xiangzuo and others went to Xishuiting Foot Spa City and met the manager on duty that day.
This pedicure shop is not big, and it also provides some special services, so the manager on duty was very impressed by the guests who came that night.
During the communication between the two parties, Wei Xiangzuo learned that there were six people on the other side. After entering the pedicure city that night, their feet were washed and massaged in a private room. In the end, three of them called them little sisters.
There are surveillance videos at Xishuiting, but they are all in the corridors and public areas. Because the staff are in the cow room, it is impossible to arrange camera equipment in the bathing area and small powder room, so there are not many surveillance images left by these six people.
.While Wei Xiangzuo was watching, he discovered a detail, that is, these people all walked with their heads down in places where there was surveillance, without showing their faces at all.
A series of details show that these people are a bit abnormal.
The vehicle that committed the crime was stolen from Tianhong Port. These people obviously paid one month's rent, but they stayed in the house for a few days and then left. It was very likely that they did not come back the night of Gu Tongshan's accident.
Nothing was left in the room, even the domestic garbage was taken away. Several people went to Xishuiting Foot Spa City, but no one had a positive image of their face.
After Wei Xiangzuo sorted through a series of information, he felt that he had finally caught a thread.
…
evening.
Wei Xiangzuo took his brothers to a restaurant in Tianhong Port for dinner.
"Brother, these people really look like the gunmen who killed Lao Gu." Xiaofeng said in a low voice: "If they really did it, then it might take them longer to arrive at Tianhong Port than we thought. Based on this analysis
If so, it’s most likely not the Yu family’s fault.”
Wei Xiangzuo ate the fish without saying a word.
"Not only does it not seem like it was done by the Yu family, but the time when these people came happened to be the day after Xu Er was killed." Xiaofeng turned around and looked around: "You think, the goods at sea have been swept away, how valuable is it?
The purchase amount of six million yuan was finally found to be eight million yuan. Mr. Gu must have been unhappy because of this matter at the time. Brother, please combine the time when Xu Er was killed and the situation of these people.
Arrival time...isn’t this a bit scary to think about?”
The direction of Xiaofeng's words was very obvious, and Wei Xiangzuo frowned when he heard it.
"The superiors are not satisfied, my brother was killed again, and they called a group of gunmen into the city to prepare for emergencies. This is normal." Xiaofeng added again: "The car used to commit the crime, the rented house, and those few people
The traces of his activities are all within the harbor... If you think about it, think about it carefully."
"Damn it, you seem to be Conan!" Wei Xiangzuo cursed speechlessly.
"...It's so similar, big brother!" Xiaofeng replied seriously.
Wei Xiangzuo was silent.
"Brother, our brothers must be unhappy anyway. This old man is gone. He has not done anything at all. Instead, he is still contacting internal relations, trying to get rights and find new channels. The most hateful thing is that the profits of us people
They have all been stopped." Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said: "The old man is your master. When he is here, we have to endure whatever discomfort we have. We respect our teachers! But when the old man is gone, why should Xu Hu be the leader?
Flag? Why?!"
Wei Xiangzuo took a sip of liquor, raised his head and asked, "What time will the meeting be held in the evening?"
"At half past seven, we were in Longkou. I heard that Lao Gu's wife and son were also going," Xiaofeng said.
"We'll go too." Wei Xiangzuo drank a glass of wine and replied calmly.
…
In Longkou City, Su Tianyu, Kong Zhenghui, and Bai Hongbo, accompanied by the leaders of the Public Affairs Department, had already drank a lot.
In the toilet, Su Tianyu's face turned red and he immediately ordered Dabai: "Fuck, hurry up and arrange the scene. If you drink again, I will drink to death."
"Pick your throat."
"I won't……."
"Come on, I know how to pick it out for you." Bai Hongbo shook his fingers rapidly, looking very professional: "Come on, open your mouth."
"Go away!"
Su Tianyu pushed Bai Hongbo away, took out his phone, glanced at the text message he had just received, and then replied with four words: "Arrange him."
