"Azhe?" Faced with Gu Chen's question, the girl with dreadlocks Tongtong looked a little surprised.
After lowering his head and thinking for two seconds, Tongtong frowned and asked Gu Chen directly: "I said policeman brother, Ah Zhe is not from my family? Where is he going? Do you need to report to me?"
"Besides, I haven't seen him since he was injured that time."
"Yes." A man skated towards Gu Chen on a skateboard and stopped a few centimeters away from Gu Chen.
With one step, the skateboard bounces into your hand.
"Brother policeman, it's true that we haven't seen Azhe for a long time. Besides, he doesn't often contact us."
"Okay." Seeing that some of these people answered questions incorrectly, Gu Chen added, "Before, there was a skateboarder among you, and later he went to do business in the university town, selling clothes. Do you know this person?"
"sell clothes?"
Everyone gathered together and looked at each other, as if they didn't quite understand.
However, a small man raised his hand and said: "Brother policeman, is the man you are talking about Hu Junjie? He has been in the clothing business. The last time I met him was about half a month ago. He said he was in
There’s business over there in the university town.”
"Really?" Seeing that someone understands things, then things will be easier to handle.
Gu Chen took the initiative to walk up to the little man and asked: "This Hu Junjie, are you familiar with him?"
"Well... I'm not very familiar with him, but he has been skateboarding for a long time, but now he is rarely with us. He only comes here occasionally for a month."
"As for Azhe, they seem to have met when Hu Junjie came that day. It seems that their relationship is okay."
"So that's it? Do you have Hu Junjie's contact information?" After hearing what the little man said, Lu Weiwei took out a note and was about to record Hu Junjie's relevant information.
The little man shook his head: "Hu Junjie is used to being a loner, but I really don't know his contact information."
Seeing Lu Weiwei's disappointed look, the little man turned around and said, "But don't worry, I know his uncle is opening a shop, which is the breakfast shop with the best business on the old street in the East District."
"If you find his uncle, you may be able to find Hu Junjie. If you find Hu Junjie, you may be able to find Azhe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little man felt that it was a bit convoluted.
But I can only know this much about these people.
Lu Weiwei patted the little man on the shoulder and said with praise: "Well done, can you tell me now, what is the name of that breakfast shop on the old street in East District?"
“The affordable breakfast should be called this one, the one next door that sells roast duck.”
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." After learning this information, Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen beside her and said, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think? Why don't you go over and take a look now?"
This is how you look for people. You have to constantly find relevant people and look for relevant clues.
The worst part is that even if you run back and forth, you may not be able to find anyone.
After all, people won't sit there waiting for you to find them.
So finding someone is usually a physical job.
After Gu Chen took a sip of milk tea, he threw the empty cup into the trash can nearby and said, "Let's go to the old streets of East District."
…
…
Driving the vehicle without stopping, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei rushed to the old streets of East District without stopping.
East District Old Street can be regarded as one of the top bustling business districts in Jiangnan City.
Why top?
Near the old streets of East District, most of them are high-end commercial residential areas, surrounded by schools and hospitals.
The East District Old Street is located in the center of the area.
In addition, the Jiangnan water town-style buildings have been well preserved, and the entire area has been a top-notch business district from ancient times to the present.
As for what the little man said about the breakfast shop with the best business, this definition can indirectly explain that an affordable breakfast shop is most likely a very profitable shop.
Moreover, in order to become famous in the East District Old Street business district, without time accumulation and excellent craftsmanship, it is difficult to become famous among the many gourmet restaurants in the East District Old Street.
After parking the car, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to the door of the "affordable breakfast shop".
"It should be here." Lu Weiwei pointed to the roast duck restaurant nearby and said, "The person just said that it is right next to the roast duck restaurant. It's just the signboard of this 'affordable breakfast restaurant'. I feel that it is too low-end. This restaurant
Don’t you know how to make it more beautiful and eye-catching?”
"Perhaps they are just selling word of mouth?" Gu Chen looked down at his watch and couldn't help but said, "Let's go over and take a look."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and followed Gu Chen closely.
If everyone hadn't come here to handle the case, Lu Weiwei almost thought she was dating Gu Chen.
When I came to the door, a couple was selling barbecue.
Business in the store is very good, and people shout from time to time.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other and walked forward directly.
"Are you Hu Junjie's uncle?" Gu Chen said.
The middle-aged man stared blankly, smiled and shook his head: "I'm not, maybe you're talking about the boss who sells breakfast, right?"
"Isn't this an 'affordable breakfast shop'?" In order to confirm that she was not mistaken, Lu Weiwei even took two steps back and looked at the sign again.
Then, he glanced at the roast duck restaurant next door.
At this time, another middle-aged woman said with a faint smile: "We have affordable barbecue here, not affordable breakfast. We only sell late-night barbecue. The person you are looking for may come after 12 o'clock at night."
"Wait a minute." Lu Weiwei was almost confused by these two people. She also raised her hand to signal, and then asked: "Aren't your Affordable Barbecue and Affordable Breakfast the same store? Are you two different groups?
people?"
"You guessed it right." A female clerk who was busy making barbecue explained to everyone with a smile: "The rent here is so expensive, so several families rented it together, and the landlord rented it directly to three families."
"No, there is another one?" Lu Weiwei almost collapsed after hearing what the female clerk said, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant pointed to another sign and said, "Did you see it? There is also an affordable restaurant. We are always busy here anyway, and this restaurant is open 24 hours a day."
"We are only responsible for selling barbecue here from night to early morning. The next morning, the couple will come here to sell breakfast, and then there is another couple who will be responsible for running the restaurant here at noon and night."
"Then there won't be any conflict between you and opening the restaurant?" Gu Chen said.
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled: "No conflict, anyway, after 8:30, the store will sell us barbecue, and we will do some evening business."
"Three groups of people?" Lu Weiwei shook her head after hearing what they said, and couldn't help but said: "You guys are really good at doing business, and you don't waste any time."
"There's no way." The middle-aged woman who prepared the barbecue put the barbecue directly into the tray and gave it to her husband to serve to the customers. She continued to put the new barbecue on the grill and muttered:
"Rents in the bustling commercial districts of Jiangnan City are so high now. You can only say that if we cooperate outside, there will be less pressure on each other."
"Moreover, land here is very valuable, and our businesses don't conflict with each other. I just want the three families to rent this store together and operate it flexibly."
"Well, it's somewhat similar to those stores in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong City. They are basically open 24 hours a day, otherwise they won't be able to earn back the rent."
Gu Chen nodded silently and admired the hard work of these workers.
But this time I came here specifically to see Hu Junjie's uncle, thinking that he was not in the store and I had to save time.
So I asked the owner of the barbecue restaurant for Uncle Hu Junjie's cell phone and called him directly.
After a while, a sleepy male voice suddenly sounded.
"Who is it?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Zhang, the owner of the affordable breakfast shop? I'm from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch." Gu Chen directly introduced himself.
When the other party heard that Gu Chen was a policeman, his attitude became much gentler and he quickly asked: "Comrade policeman, do you have a problem with me?"
"That's it." Gu Chen didn't want to beat around the bush, so he said straightforwardly: "We are looking for a man who ran away from home, and this man once said that he wanted to start a clothing business with your nephew."
"So based on his uncle's request, we wanted to ask Hu Junjie if he had seen the person we were looking for."
"Is that so?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, the breakfast shop owner Zhang also hesitated and said straightforwardly:
"Comrade police, to be honest, my nephew has been unable to get through on the phone these days. He seems to have changed his phone number."
"But, he often comes to my store late at night, has something to eat and then leaves. After all, I heard that he has a hard time doing business outside."
"If you want to find him, it may be after 12 o'clock."
"So late?" Gu Chen felt a little troubled when he heard the time.
The man on the other end of the phone took the initiative to explain: "That's it, I won't come to the store until after 12 o'clock in the morning."
"Then start preparing ingredients for tomorrow morning. You may be busy until early morning."
"I don't know exactly when Hu Junjie will come. Anyway, the past few days have been after early morning and until the early morning of the next day. I'm lucky to be early, but I can't tell the time."
"So troublesome?" Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei and said hesitantly: "Then don't you have any other contact information for Hu Junjie?"
"Sorry, no." On the other end of the phone, the middle-aged man still replied affirmatively.
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei and communicated: "Senior Sister Lu, Hu Junjie may come to the store at night, but the time may be after early morning or early the next morning."
"If we want to find him, we can only wait in the store, what do you think?"
"Doesn't that mean we have to wait all night?" Lu Weiwei was dumbfounded when she heard this situation.
I feel like this time is too unfriendly.
But think about it, I came here this time to help Zhao Feng find his nephew Azhe.
But now, the appearance of key figure Hu Junjie is also mysterious.
Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei felt hard to make a choice, so she had to throw the question to Gu Chen and said: "Junior Brother Gu, if you think it is necessary, just wait here, and you can have some barbecue or something."
"Okay." Seeing that Lu Weiwei had no big objections, Gu Chen directly picked up the phone and replied again: "Isn't your store open 24 hours a day? We will wait for you in the store."
"Okay, comrade police, we may arrive at the store around 1 a.m., and you can go to the store to have a rest."
"good."
After a brief communication with the middle-aged man, Gu Chen hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
I heard Gu Chen was on the phone just now, and it seemed that he was going to wait in the store until early morning.
The middle-aged woman who was doing the barbecue smiled and said, "Why don't you come into the store and sit down? Have some barbecue or something?"
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei and said, "Sister Lu, you can order whatever you want."
"Hmm, if you want this, this, this, and this, give me some of that..."
Feeling like she had to stay here all night, Lu Weiwei decided not to treat her stomach badly.
After ordering a bunch of barbecue, the two of them walked into the store, found an empty seat and sat down.
…
…
Time passed by, Lu Weiwei had eaten barbecue three times, and lay down at the table to rest for a while.
Seeing that the clock hanging on the wall has passed the early morning, the owner of the barbecue restaurant and his family are still staying in the store to have barbecue.
Lu Weiwei asked curiously: "Isn't it time to get off work? Are you still working here?"
"Some ingredients need to be skewered in advance, otherwise it will be too late when we open for business tomorrow," a store clerk said with a smile.
Lu Weiwei rubbed her eyes, glanced at Gu Chen who was sitting opposite with his eyes closed, and then looked at the situation in the store.
At this moment, the store also sent away its last batch of customers.
The two bosses, the couple, and the female clerk who works at Chuanchuan are preparing ingredients for tomorrow.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Weiwei, who was a little sleepy, also yawned and said: "Do you usually work until so late?"
"No." The proprietress put the ingredients into a small basin and replied with a smile: "I usually leave early, but today I have a lot of work. I may be busy until two in the morning."
"Is that so?" Lu Weiwei felt a little distressed. Watching the boss bring the ingredients from the other end, she also curiously asked: "Then if you connect like this, won't there be a time conflict?"
"No." The owner of the barbecue restaurant sat next to the female clerk and helped with the skewers. He also said casually: "The couple making breakfast will be here soon. We don't need the kitchen now. We just need to prepare these ingredients in advance."
Just skewer it."
"So, overall, without affecting their work, the three waves of us have cooperated quite well."
"Yes, there were four groups of people before. At that time, we were a little tight on time. Later, the landlord also felt that it was not suitable, so he persuaded one of them to leave. Now the three of us are in a hurry, and the connection will not be too abrupt." The female clerk
Said with a smile.
"This is the first time I know that one store can be rented to three families."
Gu Chen opened his eyes and seemed to have had enough rest.
The landlady smiled and said, "It's not just to lighten the burden. To be honest, renting the entire store in the old street of Jiangnan City's East District is a bit unbearable."
"Furthermore, when we open a store, a lot of time is actually wasted. It is better to do it together with three stores. In this way, everyone will be less stressed and the function of this store can be maximized."
"Working people are really smart." After hearing what the boss lady said, Lu Weiwei also sincerely admired her.
I used to only know the prosperity of the catering industry in business districts, but I never knew the hardships of the workers behind it.
I waited here all night for people today. It felt like I could get up close and personal with these ordinary catering workers for the first time. I felt that the trip was worth it.
Chatting with the couple who owned the barbecue restaurant and the clerk, Lu Weiwei quickly lost track of time.
Just when the clock pointed to 1 a.m., a beam of light from outside shone directly on me.
A white BMW off-road vehicle was parked steadily in the middle of the road.
Normally, parking is not allowed on the old streets of East District, but now it is one o'clock in the morning, and there are not many pedestrians on the road.
Therefore, many merchants will also take advantage of this time difference to drive their vehicles to the store entrance for operations such as unloading goods.
Looking at the white BMW off-road vehicle at the door, the owner of the barbecue restaurant glanced at his chin and reminded: "The people you are waiting for are here, they are the owners of the affordable breakfast restaurant."
"Really?" After hearing what the owner of the barbecue restaurant said, Gu Chen stood up and walked towards the door.
At this moment, a middle-aged couple was moving various ingredients from the car to the store.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei stood on one side, silently paying attention.
The middle-aged man who walked into the store carrying the ingredients glanced at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and asked as he walked: "Are you the police who called me tonight?"
"Yes, we are from Furong Branch." Gu Chen said.
After unloading the goods, the middle-aged man also smiled and said: "I don't know when my nephew will come over. Anyway, it will be during the evening time. He will come to my store to have something to eat, so... I'm really sorry. I would have known earlier.
I'll ask him for his new number."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't disturb your work." Lu Weiwei didn't care.
After all, she had all-you-can-eat barbecue just now, so Lu Weiwei didn’t care about having another meal of xiaolongbao.
Watching the two couples put on their work clothes and start working in the kitchen.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei just stood at the door, silently paying attention.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Lu Weiwei also asked: "What time do you get up every night?"
"About 30 in the morning." The busy middle-aged man began to pour the beans into the bucket.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently and asked: "How old is your eldest brother this year? Does the accent sound like a foreigner?"
"Well, both of us are outsiders, and I am 49 years old this year." Putting the bucket aside, the middle-aged man also took a deep breath and joked to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: "We are already old bones.
."
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him, and then curiously asked the man: "When I called before, my eldest brother seemed to be sleeping. What time do you usually go to bed? What time do you get up?"
"Well, go to bed around 8 o'clock every night and get up around early in the morning."
"Doesn't that mean you only sleep for 4 hours?" Lu Weiwei's jaw dropped when she heard this.
The middle-aged woman on the side smiled and said: "This is how we work in this industry. In order to have a fresh and sufficient breakfast every morning at 5 o'clock, our work and rest time must be arranged like this."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, watching the middle-aged woman making noodles there, thinking that it wouldn't be long before she could have another big meal.
As for when Hu Junjie will come to the store? It seems to have become less important.
