"Boss, have you seen this person?" Gu Chen took his mobile phone and kept asking restaurant owners in the business district to check Zhou Xiaotong's photos.
But most people shook their heads and denied it, saying they had never seen it.
After looking around, almost all the restaurants on both sides of the street were found, but still no one knew Zhou Xiaotong, which made Gu Chen a little confused.
"Damn it, didn't this Zhou Xiaotong have dinner at this generation that night? I've searched all the places I should look for, why doesn't anyone recognize him?"
Officer Wang put his hands on his hips and was extremely anxious.
Lu Weiwei walked over from the store on the other side. Officer Wang raised his chin and motioned for Lu Weiwei to report the situation.
Lu Weiwei didn't say anything, just shrugged and made a helpless expression.
"Hum, it seems that Zhou Xiaotong really didn't come to this business district for dinner that night."
"Maybe." Gu Chen couldn't guess now. He looked around and continued to recall the store he just inspected.
I have to say that according to my own investigation ideas, it is right to start with the hotel.
After all, when it was time for dinner, Zhou Xiaotong had to leave the hotel and go outside to solve the dinner problem.
And we stayed there for several hours, and didn't return to the hotel room until 10pm.
Unfortunately, Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei checked all the food spots on both sides of the street and found nothing.
"Junior Brother Gu, could we have made a mistake? Could it be that this Zhou Xiaotong is not the dinner problem that was solved here at all?"
"Or is this place, along with other restaurants, located in an inconspicuous location? It's just that we didn't discover it by chance?"
"Maybe." Gu Chen looked around and said uncertainly:
"Logically speaking, if you open a restaurant, it must be opened on both sides of the street. If you don't open in this location, it will be difficult for customers to know that you are a restaurant."
"Or maybe there is such a restaurant, which is located in an inconspicuous corner, but has many regular customers, so there is no need to worry about the store not having a good location."
"Yeah." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang nodded slightly.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing work clothes and a safety helmet was walking out of a corner with a toothpick in the corner of his mouth.
Not long after, several men in the same clothes walked out of the alley in groups.
Many people had cigarettes in their mouths, and some were stroking their bellies, looking satisfied.
When Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang saw this scene, they immediately became interested.
Lu Weiwei immediately stepped forward, stopped a man in work clothes and asked, "Sir, may I ask, is there a restaurant in this alley?"
"Yes." It seemed that Lu Weiwei was not familiar with this area, so the man also turned around and pointed:
"You go in from this alley and you'll be there just around the corner. There's a fly restaurant there. The owner is a one-eyed man who runs a fast food business."
"It's cheap to eat there. We brothers like to go there. Why, you want to eat there too?"
"Oh, we were just asking, thank you." After hearing what the man said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that everyone's guess was not wrong.
The fly restaurant that slipped through the net may be the place where Zhou Xiaotong ate.
So everyone looked at each other tacitly, and then walked towards the alley together.
Sure enough, as soon as I turned a corner, I found a small shop with no signboard, just a wooden sign with "Fast Food" written on it at the door, and it was just open for business.
Since it's not meal time yet, there aren't many diners here yet.
A tall, thin, middle-aged man was washing vegetables in the back kitchen.
As soon as Gu Chen walked through the door, he heard the sound of pouring water from the back kitchen.
"Boss." Gu Chen stood at the door and called.
"Would you like to eat?" the middle-aged man asked casually without looking back, continuing to wash the vegetables in his hands.
Gu Chenze did not answer immediately, but walked behind the man and said, "Boss, have you seen this man?"
After hearing Gu Chen's words, the middle-aged man washing vegetables stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Gu Chen.
And just as the man in work clothes explained, the owner of the fast food restaurant is indeed a one-eyed man.
Perhaps it was a strange face, or a policeman in uniform. The one-eyed man quickly put down the vegetables at hand, shook off the water stains on his hands, wiped them on his sleeves, quickly stood up, and squinted.
"Who is this person?" asked the one-eyed dragon boss.
"A woman from Haidong City, did she come to your place for dinner a few nights ago?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The one-eyed dragon boss continued to squint his eyes and think. After a long time, he thought thoughtfully: "Eh? I think I saw this woman once, a few days ago, right?"
"Yes, it was a few nights ago." Officer Wang quickly agreed.
"Well, I may have seen it before, but I'm not sure."
"How do you say that? Has she never come to your restaurant to dine?" Officer Wang was puzzled.
But the one-eyed boss waved his hand: "No, it's just that business here is particularly good at night."
"When I get busy, I don't care about too much and just focus on cooking."
"Only when the customer pays the bill, I will subconsciously take a look."
"What about when ordering? Don't you look at it when ordering?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The one-eyed boss smiled, pointed to some ingredients on the table, and said: "This is a fast food restaurant, basically just those dishes."
"Customers who are familiar with my place will always be at the door every time they come here. Yes, that's the place on your left."
After the words fell, the one-eyed boss pointed to the area to the left of Lu Weiwei and said, "Did you see that? That's the plate stacking area over there, and the chopsticks are placed there."
"If you come to dine, familiar customers will take their own plates and line up to come here. This is the dish area. I prepare many dishes every day and pour them on this big dinner plate."
"Then, what do you eat? Make it yourself. Anyway, it's three vegetables and one soup every time."
"Customers are very conscious and eat as much as they want, and then they will consciously come here, which is the rice area, and eat as much as they want."
"It all depends on customer awareness? Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but be confused when she heard the business ideas of the one-eyed dragon boss.
But the one-eyed boss smiled and said with an indifferent attitude: "Loss money? If you meet that kind of customer who loves to take advantage, you may lose money."
"However, most of the people who come to eat at my place are ordinary people who work nearby. We meet each other without looking up. We eat as much as we can and never waste it."
"Besides, the buffet area here is all vegetables, all vegetarian dishes, no meat."
"So, it's not a loss. It saves me the trouble of hiring a catering aunt myself. I can just concentrate on cooking."
"After the peak dining period, I clear the dishes, wash the dishes, cook by myself, and then wait for the next group of guests."
"If I run it by myself, I'm going to be low-cost and friendly to the people. The prices are good and everyone is willing to come here to eat. Even if I run the business flexibly, I won't lose much. I won't make much money either."
"Well, from what you said, it sounds like a good business idea, but the people who come here to eat should be old customers, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The one-eyed boss smiled and agreed, "You can understand it that way, but there are also some new customers. Once the new customers get used to it, they will naturally become old customers."
"Yeah." When Gu Chen heard this explanation, he nodded slightly, and then asked the boss:
"That is to say, you just saw this woman on my phone when you were checking out a few nights ago, right?"
"Yes." The one-eyed dragon boss nodded: "Anyway, I have a bit of an impression."
"But this is her first time coming to Jiangnan City, and also her first time coming to the west side of the city. How could she find a restaurant like yours hidden in an alley?" Officer Wang still felt elusive about Zhou Xiaotong's situation.
through.
The one-eyed boss chuckled: "How do I know this? Someone else may have told him."
"That's right." This was what Gu Chen was waiting for, so he immediately asked: "Who was she sitting with that day? Do you still remember it?"
"Uh, this..." Doesn't it feel like Gu Chen is making things difficult for himself? The one-eyed boss was also speechless.
But considering that the police were looking for someone, they really needed clues to support them. After hesitating for a few seconds, the one-eyed boss said slowly:
"I'm not very impressed, but the people who come here to dine are all big men. It's quite strange for a woman, or a young woman, to come here to dine."
"So, the men sitting around will look at me more or less, and of course, that includes me."
Looking up and thinking, the one-eyed boss added: "I remember at the time that she seemed to be sitting with two men. Yes, it was two men."
"One is tall and thin, and the other is fat and of medium build. They are sitting opposite the woman."
"Then do these three people look familiar?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The one-eyed boss shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to this. I think I know him, right?"
"After all, if you don't know me, how could this little girl find a place like me? Someone must have brought her here."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. The reason why I opened a store here to make a living is because the rent of stores outside is too expensive, so I have no choice but to rent a small store here."
"I want to do some business with acquaintances. As long as I can starve myself to death, I don't want to ask for too much."
"And over the years, thanks to these old customers and word of mouth, my place has gradually become known to everyone."
Gu Chen recorded these things and asked the one-eyed boss: "Then these two people, the thin man and the fat man as you call them, what do they do?"
"Uh, these two people? We know each other. They work at a nearby freight station," the boss said.
"What's it called?" Officer Wang asked.
"What's his name? I'm not sure, but that fat, medium-sized man, I heard others call him Da Ge, but what is his specific name Da? I don't know, you can go to the freight yard on the other side of the wall and ask
, maybe we can know?”
"Thank you." Gu Chen didn't want to waste too much time here. After getting the explanation from the one-eyed dragon boss, he immediately left for the freight station.
In fact, the scale of the freight station that Cyclops mentioned was not that big.
A large courtyard and several areas built with mobile awnings.
There are a number of large and small trucks parked in the open space.
It looks like a temporary freight station, used to deliver goods to merchants here. The awning is filled with various cardboard boxes.
At the door of the goods yard, there is an adult German Shepherd tied up.
When seeing the footsteps of strangers outside, the German Shepherd also subconsciously barks a few times.
But when he saw Gu Chen and others wearing uniforms, De Mu seemed to know that those in uniforms could not be offended, so he immediately walked around in circles for two weeks, huddled in a corner and did not dare to scream.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang arrived at the cargo yard compound smoothly.
At this time, an old man was carrying several large cartons on a tricycle, preparing to transport them to one of the awning areas.
Lu Weiwei, with quick eyes and quick hands, immediately stopped the uncle and asked quickly: "Uncle, I want to ask you something."
"Say it." The uncle seemed to be a cheerful person, so he immediately stopped the tricycle and pulled up the handbrake.
"What about that? Is there a person named Da Ge here? He's just... fat and of medium height." While Lu Weiwei was speaking, she was also using her hands to trace the outline of her body shape.
"Brother Da?" Upon hearing this name, the uncle immediately laughed and said: "Go here, go into the duty room over there, among the people playing cards, the one who shouts the loudest is the so-called Brother Da."
"Thank you." After receiving the result, Lu Weiwei thanked her and watched her uncle ride away.
Afterwards, everyone followed the route guidance and quickly arrived at a duty room.
It is said to be a duty room, but it is actually an accommodation area converted from a temporary container.
At this moment, a group of men wearing work clothes were sitting together to compete in card games.
"Bloody, haha, I'm lucky today, I can't stop my luck even if it comes, give me money, give me money, hurry up."
Just when Lu Weiwei was about to step into the door, Gu Chen pulled Lu Weiwei back.
Several people stood at the door, listening quietly.
At this time, the loud voice was still chattering: "Haha, laziness is a very strange thing. It makes you think it is comfort and blessing, but it brings you more boredom, fatigue and depression."
"It deprives you of your exploration of the unknown, your pursuit of beauty, and even your control over your own life."
"Suffering is not worthy of praise, but hard work is worth it. Wherever you spend your time, there will be rewards."
"Not everyone will achieve success. Those of us are destined to find the meaning of life in the little moments of life."
"If you're lucky, you'll have some good friends."
"They will cry with you, laugh with you, live with you, grow old with you, and walk through this long, small, humble, but shining life together."
