There is an auto repair shop next to the West Village. This small shop is not big and usually does not do any big work. Most of it is washing cars and repairing them.
At around one o'clock at noon, Yu Fang drove a black Accord Honda to the garage. The owner of the garage knew this Yu Fang. He knew that this man was the mayor of West Village, a gangster leader who could not be offended. I used to come here all the time to collect protection fees, and I had to pay these gangsters thousands of dollars in protection fees every month. Now, they seem to have money, and they no longer look down on his little money. They haven't come here to collect protection fees for a long time. .
Today, Yu Fang came. The boss thought he was here to collect protection money, so he greeted him with a playful smile and said: "Village Chief Yu, you are here, but you are not welcomed from afar, and sometimes you are not welcomed from afar."
"It's unfair of you to be paralyzed. Stop talking nonsense to me. Please paint this car white," Yu Fang said.
The Accord didn't have a license plate, but it didn't want to be a new car. As soon as the boss saw it, he knew that there must be something wrong with the car, so he asked a lot: "Village Chief Yu, when did you return the new car? Don't you have a Mercedes-Benz e200?" , and this Accord is pretty good too, it doesn’t look good if it’s painted white,”
"Why do you talk so much nonsense? Why don't you criticize me?" Yu Fang threatened.
"Spray, spray, you put this car here and it can be sprayed tomorrow," the boss said nervously.
"Is it so troublesome to spray paint? Just spray it now and I'll drive away in a moment," Yu Fang said hurriedly.
"I have no problem spraying it now, but I can't drive the newly painted car. Moreover, I have to adjust the oil and color. This is not as simple as I thought. The fastest way is tomorrow morning," The boss said.
Yu Fang nodded and said: "Okay, hurry up. I'll pick up the car tomorrow morning. By the way, I don't want you to tell anyone about this car. You know my methods. If you walk for me, Feng Sheng, you, this car repair shop, don’t even think about continuing to work here, you know?”
"I know, I know, I know, don't worry, I won't say anything, no one will say anything," the boss almost stuttered as he kept saying it. However, after hearing what Yu Fang said, the boss was stunned. I became clearer in my mind. It seemed that there must be something wrong with this car, maybe it was stolen.
After Yu Fang left, the boss breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the workers and said, "Come here, spray paint."
…
Ye Shaofeng drove a Mercedes-Benz G55 to the door of the car repair shop. This is the nearest car repair shop in Lixi Village. According to his analysis, the first step for any stolen car is to spray paint. After changing the color of the car, Then they drive it to other cities and sell it. Although there are no formalities for black cars, which are similar to smuggled cars, there are still many people who play with cars, but people who can't afford a serious car will buy this kind of car.
Ye Shaofeng also visited several car repair shops, but there were no suitable vehicles there. When he got here, he got out of the car. Since it was an investigation, he came by himself. He did not bring the police or bluff. This was because he was afraid To alert the snake.
A Mercedes-Benz G55 was parked at the door. This was the first time such a good car visited this small garage. The boss smiled and asked: "Sir, are you repairing a car?"
"Wash the car. There isn't even a car wash here. Let's wash it here. Clean it for me. I have to meet an important client in the afternoon," Ye Shaofeng said.
"I'm so tired. Don't worry, our car wash here is very clean. Drive your car in and drive into the car wash shed. By the way, do you need to change the oil? Our place..."
"No need, I just finished changing it," Ye Shaofeng said, getting out of the car, and several car repairmen took the nozzles and went to wash the car. The car washing facilities here are very backward. There are no electric car washing machines. They all use high-pressure machines. The nozzles are flushed there, but experienced car washers know that manual flushing is cleaner. Basically, in many good car washes, after the actual machine has finished flushing, the human has to flush again with high-pressure nozzles. After drying it and entering it, you still need to grease the wheels of the car.
The mechanics were washing the car. The Mercedes-Benz G55 was quite big and could not be finished in a while. Ye Shaofeng took this opportunity to walk back and forth in the garage. At this time, he saw a few workers in a workshop. He was painting a black Accord. Although parts of the car were covered with newspapers during the painting process, Ye Shaofeng could still tell from some details that this was the Accord, and most of the car body was still black.
Ye Shaofeng became suspicious of this car. He walked over, looked back and forth, and opened the newspaper. Sure enough, there was no license plate.
"You stay away, this place is dirty and you will be covered in paint," a worker said.
Ye Shaofeng smiled and nodded, saying: "You guys have worked very hard. This Accord is very good. Why do you make it white?"
"Who knows, maybe the car owner is mentally ill. We are workers, so it's not easy to ask questions. Just ask the boss. He seems to know the car owner," the worker said.
The car repair shop is not big, and the boss often hangs around the yard. Ye Shaofeng walks up, calls to the boss, takes out a box of Chinese, and gives one to the boss. Ye Shaofeng has quit smoking now, but he always carries cigarettes with him. The purpose is to give them to the boss. Giving to others is a way of making friends.
The boss took the cigarette and dropped it into his mouth. Ye Shaofeng lit it for him and then asked: "Boss, how is the business?"
"It's deserted. My location is not good and there aren't many cars coming. After a few months, when the Xishan Commercial Center is built, there will be more cars here, and the economy of this area will be stimulated. By then, I will Business here is good," the boss said with a smile.
"Yes, this Xishan Commercial District has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the people. I hope it will be completed soon. When it is completed, I will rent a space here and do some business, hahaha," Ye Shaofeng said with a smile.
"You drive such a nice car, smoke good cigarettes, and wear decent clothes. You must be a big business person," the boss flattered.
Ye Shaofeng smiled, then pretended to look at the workshop, and asked: "Boss, that Accord is very good. It has no bumps or bumps. Why do you need to spray paint? The black Accord looks so good."
"Oh, this is a cover for us to do this. We accept money from others and don't have to ask so many questions."
"The car owner is your friend," Ye Shaofeng suddenly asked.
"How do you know,"
"Your worker told me that if it weren't for a friend's car, he wouldn't come to your place for painting. Hehe, if you don't like to hear it, your equipment is indeed not good and too backward," Ye Shaofeng said.
"Yes, yes, we are indeed lagging behind," the boss said awkwardly.
"That friend of yours should be from Nishimura..."
