"Lao Hu? Relative?" When they heard about this relationship, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei didn't feel much doubt.
It stands to reason that Lao Hu might have introduced He Liqiang to work here, which makes sense.
However, as of now, there are only a handful of people who work the night shift and are acquainted with He Liqiang and have a good relationship with him.
"Where is Lao Hu now?" Gu Chen quickly asked the middle-aged fat boss.
"It's over there in the goods yard." The middle-aged fat boss pointed to a location and said, "In the very corner over there, there is an old crane. That is Lao Hu's car."
"He is usually responsible for driving that car. He rented the car from the stall and contracted it himself."
"He usually has the best relationship with He Liqiang. If you want to know more about He Liqiang, you'd better ask him. He should know it better than anyone else."
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." After getting the useful clues, Lu Weiwei thanked her and had no intention of staying for tea. She left the stall with Gu Chen and walked towards Lao Hu's crane.
Lao Hu's crane is a modified old truck chassis.
This kind of old truck chassis has actually been eliminated for a long time now, but in some markets, there are still some such modified models, mainly because they are cheap.
We also hire a crane to do the same job, but your price for an old crane may be cheaper than someone else’s new crane.
In order to save costs, some cargo owners actually don't care about the newness of your crane. They care more about saving costs.
Use less money to do more things.
Therefore, the business of old cranes like Lao Hu's is actually quite popular.
From the very beginning, Gu Chen had observed that this old crane had been shuttling around the cargo yard.
The driver master is a middle-aged fat uncle who works as both a driver and a crane operator.
Among the many cranes, the vehicle is relatively conspicuous. After all, it is an outdated model.
But from the perspective of work efficiency, Gu Chen felt that this fat uncle was much more proficient than others.
Perhaps he has achieved the state of integrating man and vehicle, so he is very fast. In just a few hours, the driver of this crane has already unloaded goods for several cargo owners.
But now after asking around, I found out that this driver actually had a good relationship with He Liqiang.
Thinking that the current cargo yard has ushered in a brief period of quietness, it is estimated that there will not be too many trucks entering for a while.
Therefore, many drivers would choose to rest at the stall, but when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to the old crane, the fat uncle was still lying on the long rest area behind the cab.
A pair of socks with holes in them, placed by the window, looked unsightly from a distance.
"This person must live a sloppy life, right?" Lu Weiwei covered her nose, feeling that the smell of the fat uncle's feet was filling the air.
Gu Chen didn't care too much, grinned, hurriedly walked to the crane and knocked on the door of the crane.
"Who is it?" Hearing the noise, the fat man who was lying in the rest area behind the cab sat up in excitement and looked out of the car.
Seeing a man and woman standing below, they also asked out of curiosity: "Do you want crane service?"
"No." Gu Chen shook his head.
"That you……"
"We are here to find you. You should be Master Hu, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The fat uncle was stunned for a moment, a little confused. Seeing that he was not here for business, he replied coldly: "Well, I am Lao Hu. Everyone calls me Crane Crane Lao Hu."
Sitting up straight and lying on the window, Lao Hu asked again: "Eh? By the way, what do you want from me? Can you just tell me?"
Hearing what Old Hu said, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, then they each took out their police ID cards and showed them in front of middle-aged Old Hu.
"Are you the police?" It was only through the weak street lights in the market compound that Lao Hu saw the true identities of the two men.
His face suddenly became nervous.
This obvious fluctuation in expression was also noticed by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen went straight to the point and asked, "Do you recognize He Liqiang?"
"No...I don't know." Lao Hu shook his head and denied it.
"Don't you know him?" Lu Weiwei laughed angrily at this guy, and said angrily: "You said you don't know He Liqiang?"
"No... I don't know him, what's wrong?" Lao Hu continued to shake his head in denial.
Lu Weiwei also sighed and said angrily: "Master Hu, everyone in this market should know that you have a good relationship with this He Liqiang, and the two of you often stay together."
"And, it is said that you two are somewhat related."
"Who...who is related to him?"
Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Lao Hu suddenly became anxious and quickly drew a clear line with He Liqiang and said: "Let me tell you, I don't know this He Liqiang at all?"
"Really... don't know him?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and continued to ask him.
Perhaps Gu Chen's eyes were too sharp. After hesitating for a few seconds, Lao Hu quickly changed his words:
"Just...just, we usually talk to each other when we meet? I will say hello to anyone in this market who looks familiar to me. Is there a problem with that?"
"That doesn't seem to be the case, right?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say as soon as she heard that this old Hu was lying:
"I said Master Hu, why do you say you don't know He Liqiang?"
"I……"
Lao Hu hesitated to speak, as if he was mentally burdened.
Gu Chen also saw the clues, and then hurriedly explained to Lao Hu: "Master Hu, don't put any pressure on you. He Liqiang is He Liqiang, and you are you."
"We are here just to find out about He Liqiang's work status and situation here. We have no other intention."
"But everyone says he is the most familiar with you, so if we don't look for you, who should we look for?"
"Hey! These bastards are really mean-mouthed." Feeling that he had been betrayed by the entire market, Lao Hu also sighed, and then said angrily:
"To tell the truth, I know He Liqiang. He Liqiang's elders and my elders are both from the same village."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So, the two of us are somewhat related, but that's all."
"He works here, I work here, and our relationship is occasionally mentioned by everyone, and then they are passed on by these idiots. It seems that I am very familiar with He Liqiang, which is not the case at all.
."
Seeing that Lao Hu seemed to still be a little emotional, Gu Chen suppressed his laughter and continued to ask: "Is it because He Liqiang's involvement in the case made you feel psychologically burdened?"
"Harmful!" Feeling that he could no longer hide it, Lao Hu sighed heavily and then said angrily:
"To tell you the truth, I don't have a good impression of He Liqiang at all."
"I heard that while he was delivering food, he got mixed up with his friend's wife and even killed someone."
"Once this matter spreads, everyone in the market will know about it. It's embarrassing to have such an acquaintance."
Sighing softly and trying to calm down, Lao Hu added: "So, it's too late for people in the market to avoid him. Who wants to have anything to do with him?"
"Besides, when you police came to see me, I...I felt so scared that I didn't want to have anything to do with him."
"It's understandable, but you have to cooperate with us in our work." Lu Weiwei understood after listening to Lao Hu's complaint.
Now He Liqiang's reputation has become bad, and everyone wants to distance themselves from him to avoid being invited to tea by the police.
Lao Hu was obviously aware of this situation, so he became so angry when talking about He Liqiang.
"It's okay. We just want to briefly understand the situation. Just tell us what you know in detail and truthfully. Leave the rest to us." Gu Chen also spoke truthfully and thoughtfully.
The main reason is that I am afraid that Lao Hu will have too much psychological burden and conceal some key clues.
Listening to Gu Chen's patient explanation, Lao Hu's wariness gradually changed from resistance at the beginning to cooperation.
After Gu Chen provided short psychological counseling, Lao Hu walked out of the cabin and came to Gu Chen and the other two.
Gu Chen also turned on the law enforcement recorder hanging on his chest, and then asked: "Did He Liqiang come to work here by himself, or did you help introduce him?"
"Well, I introduced you." Lao Hu felt a little ashamed and sighed:
"Before, He Liqiang was delivering food outside and felt that he earned too little and didn't have enough money to spend."
"One time, we friends got together to have a drink and dinner. It just so happened that He Liqiang was somewhat related to my family, so he got together and chatted."
"I said, our market has been very busy recently, and many stalls are looking for nightclubs."
"Just in time, He Liqiang asked casually, and then inquired about some salary information. He felt that it was pretty good, so he thought, why not go and have a look himself?"
"So, I introduced him to his current boss, and he continues to work there until now."
"How long?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"About... almost a year, right?" Lao Hu said thoughtfully.
"So in his usual work, especially in recent times, have you noticed anything unusual about He Liqiang?" Gu Chen asked.
"Abnormal situation?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lao Hu frowned slightly and held his chin up as he thought:
"This guy, when he usually works the night shift, doesn't always stay at the stall. Instead, he wanders around."
“When you see me, an old acquaintance, you usually come up to me and hand me a cigarette, and then chat with me about daily life.”
"But, you want to say that he has done something strange recently? Eh? It seems that he has done something weird."
"What on earth is that?" It sounded like Lao Hu knew something? Lu Weiwei immediately asked.
Old Hu scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully, "I remember that He Liqiang has been fine recently and always likes to run to the toilet."
"I don't know what's wrong with him? He feels like he needs to go to the toilet much more frequently."
Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly stopped recording and raised his head to ask Lao Hu: "Master Hu, how did you know? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Uh, forget it? Because I'm usually quite busy at night."
"But this night's work, he will not concentrate on a certain period of time. Usually he is very busy one hour and very idle the next hour."
"Because there is a gap in time between these trucks coming from other provinces, this also causes the work among us to be stop-and-start."
After a pause, Lao Hu quickly pointed to himself: "Like me now, this is the situation. I have no work now because I just finished my work, so we can take a rest. After two hours, we will probably be busy again."
"So, when I'm not busy, I sit in the cab, play with my phone and read novels."
"Then, the area between He Liqiang's stall and the public toilet is usually relatively empty, so I could see He Liqiang's figure at a glance while sitting in the cab of the crane."
Gu Chen recorded these things in the record, then raised his head and asked: "So, when did He Liqiang start to go to the toilet frequently like this?"
"Uh, specifically, maybe it was last week? I don't remember the day, but I must have been last week." Old Hu said.
According to Lao Hu's words, Gu Chen turned around and took a look in the direction of the public toilet, feeling that there was nothing unusual around him.
It's just an ordinary toilet, nothing special.
Gu Chen turned around and asked Lao Hu again: "Master Hu, apart from this incident, is there any other abnormal situation in He Liqiang?"
"For example, who did he often meet? What did he talk to these people?"
"Uh, I don't know about this." Lao Hu shook his head and quickly denied it.
Lu Weiwei continued to urge: "Think about it again, for example, besides He Liqiang who has been running to the toilet frequently since last week, is there anyone else who also needs to go to the toilet frequently like He Liqiang at the same time?
"
"Oh, no." Listening to Lu Weiwei's questioning, Lao Hu seemed a little irritable and said impatiently:
"As I said, He Liqiang looks familiar to me, so sometimes I look at him twice."
"As for other people, I don't pay much attention, and I don't notice anyone going to the toilet frequently."
After thinking about it, Lao Hu added: "Oh, by the way, I always felt that there was something wrong with He Liqiang? So he needed to go to the toilet frequently."
"Where? Where do you mean?" Lu Weiwei didn't understand.
Lao Hu frowned and was a little speechless, and quickly added: "It's a problem with men. If there is a problem there, maybe you need to go to the toilet more often."
"Anyway, I'm just guessing."
"However, He Liqiang told me that I was completely making random guesses."
"Anyway, what's going on with him? I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Looking in the direction of the toilet, Lao Hu added: "If you want to know about He Liqiang, you might as well go to the toilet and take a look."
"That's what I meant." As soon as Lao Hu finished speaking, Gu Chen answered.
Old Hu was stunned and confused: "Comrade police, do you really want to go to the toilet?"
"To handle the case, we need to conduct on-site investigation." Gu Chen also gave a pertinent reply.
Now it was Lao Hu's turn to be confused. He had never seen such a serious policeman before.
While Lao Hu was hesitating, Gu Chen also invited: "Master Hu, will you come with us?"
"What?" Thinking that he heard wrongly, Lao Hu was stunned and asked weakly: "You want to go to the toilet with me?"
