Hearing what the fat man said, everyone's thirst for knowledge was immediately aroused.
You know, what Gu Chen needs to master most now is all kinds of information about Hu Zhe.
Because Hu Zhe's murder may be involved in an important case.
Otherwise, how could something like buying a murderer happen to Vujicic?
The fat man scratched his cheek and said in retrospect: "I remember that at that time, his thoughts did not seem to be on that drinking party."
"After the friend he introduced to buy the car left, he went to drink and dine with me."
"During this period, I felt that he was worried and seemed to be hiding something in his heart."
"I also asked, is it because of the band? He said it was one aspect."
"I asked him, what about the other side? He seemed to want to tell me, but in the end he hesitated."
"I just said, tell you, you can't share his sorrow, and then I drank a few glasses of wine, and finally I drove him back."
Hearing what the fat man said, everyone's hearts suddenly trembled.
Liu Jinwen hurriedly said: "According to what you mean, Hu Zhe does have something hidden in his heart, but he just didn't tell you clearly?"
"That's what you mean." The fat man took a sip of herbal tea and said in retrospect:
"He is a very interesting person. He has his own thoughts and he really likes to hide them in his heart. How can you guess what he is thinking? I think it is difficult."
"But, he is a very loyal person. As long as it involves the band, he will do it without any hesitation."
Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, the fat man spread his hands and said, "I'm not bragging. All our band members can testify."
"You don't need to tell me this." After hearing what the fat man said, Lu Weiwei quickly explained:
"We are very aware of Vujicic's attitude towards the band."
"That's good." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the fat man nodded silently and thought:
"But, Vujicic, I do notice that he is absent-minded these days."
"To say that he is worried about the future of the band, I still believe it. After all, in order for the band to survive, he would go to the East Lake Music Festival and he is really busy."
"Fat man." I listened to the fat man talking here for a long time, but he always seemed to miss the point. Zhang Ying on the side couldn't stand listening anymore, and said angrily:
"By the way, do you know anything else about Hu Zhe? I didn't understand it even after talking for a long time."
"Didn't you ask me if there's anything unusual about me?" Seeing that Zhang Ying was still anxious, the fat man also looked aggrieved:
"Anyway, these days, when it comes to whether Hu Zhe has anything unusual, I feel that there was something unusual at that dinner party, but he didn't say it clearly. It seemed that he was just... hiding it and not letting him go.
It’s like I know.”
"But I didn't care at the time, so I just... didn't ask him. But now, I heard from you that Hu Zhe was killed, and he was still paid to kill. This... this feels weird."
"It felt like his expression at that time seemed to have already realized that he might be in danger, so he was worried."
Lying back on the seat, the fat man also sighed.
When Liu Jinwen saw this, he quickly asked: "Are you done?"
"That's it." The fat man nodded in agreement.
"Harm, that's all?" Liu Jinwen felt a little disappointed.
But the fat man responded tit for tat: "At least I said what I think is abnormal about Hu Zhe. Isn't that okay?"
"Okay." Just when Liu Jinwen wanted to say a few more words, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted:
"If you have a good relationship with Vujicic, and Vujicic's behavior at that time was as you said, then maybe this information is very useful."
"But, how are you going to investigate?" Seeing that someone finally praised him, the fat man asked curiously.
Gu Chen frowned and asked again: "Has Hu Zhe been in frequent contact with anyone in recent times?"
"this……"
"It seems there is." Seeing the fat man's hesitation, Liu Jinwen shook off his bangs and said thoughtfully:
"I remember that I met Hu Zicic several times during this period. I originally thought that he was purchasing ingredients for his barbecue stall, but it didn't seem to be the case."
"Keep talking." Seeing that Liu Jinwen seemed to be thinking of something, Officer Wang quickly reminded him.
Liu Jinwen nodded silently, and then added: "But I went to the market to buy vegetables, and then I met him at the door of the market."
"At that time, he happened to come out from over there, and I happened to go in, so I asked him if he came to buy groceries."
"He just smiled and said he could just hang around."
"I felt at the time that he came with empty hands and left with empty hands, and then he just wanted to wander around?"
"I didn't think much about it at the time. I felt that the ingredients here probably didn't meet the requirements of his barbecue stall, right?"
"After all, I can understand shopping around, but I'm a little confused when he goes to a vegetable market so far away to buy vegetables. There are obviously two vegetable markets near his home."
"And the vegetable market I often visit is far away from him. This behavior of seeking the far away rather than the near makes me a little surprised."
"But later when I was shopping for groceries, I met him again at the same place, and he was still empty-handed."
"I was confused at that time and asked him what on earth he was doing here?"
"Then what did he say?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and asked curiously.
Liu Jinwen shook his head and said truthfully: "He still said the same thing, just roll it around."
"I laughed at him at the time and said, what on earth did you buy? Did you not pick the right ingredients?"
"I also said that he would come to my place for dinner at noon, but he refused, saying that he just came to the market to take a look, nothing more."
"As for the rest, he didn't go into details. He even greeted me and said he remembered the city he was going to on the weekend."
"Because we were going to Hangzhou for a performance at the weekend, I expressed my understanding, and just like that, we separated again."
"Then why didn't you say anything just now?" Yuan Shasha was baffled when she heard Liu Jinwen's explanation.
Liu Jinwen also chuckled, looked in the direction of the fat man, and complained:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If what the fat man just said can be regarded as useful information, then I feel that the information I provided should also count, right?"
"After all, it doesn't make sense that you came to the vegetable market without buying food and came back empty-handed twice."
"Which market?" After hearing what Liu Jinwen said, Lu Weiwei suddenly became interested.
Liu Jinwen didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Yuhua Logistics Park wet market."
"That's quite far." After hearing what Liu Jinwen said, the fat man quickly agreed:
"This place is quite far from Hu Zhe's house. Generally speaking, if you want to purchase ingredients, you will never come here."
"On the other side of Hu Zhe's house, not only is there a vegetable market, but the vegetable wholesale market is also relatively close."
"If Vujicic needs cheap ingredients, he should go to the vegetable wholesale market late at night and wait for the big trucks to unload the goods before purchasing. That's when it's the cheapest."
"There is absolutely no need to go to that Yuhua Logistics Park wet market."
Listening to Fatty and Liu Jinwen's explanations, Yuan Shasha on the side recorded these in the record.
Gu Chen frowned and continued to ask: "What happened next? Did you find other abnormalities in Hu Zhe later?"
"This..." After thinking briefly for a few seconds, Liu Jinwen shook his head and said in denial:
"No more, that's all. I hope it can help with the investigation of your case. I really can't think of anything else."
"Very good." Seeing that Liu Jinwen also provided some available information, Gu Chen still expressed satisfaction.
You know, these seemingly casual things can be infinitely magnified if they are connected to the murder of Vujicic.
What Gu Chen needs most now is often this kind of fragmented information.
After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Chen pointed at the fat man and said, "What Dabai said just now means that Hu Zhe was restless at the wine table. He seemed worried and felt like he was threatened. Is that what he meant?"
"Uh, almost." Faced with Gu Chen's question, the fat man nodded silently to express his approval.
Then, Gu Chen pointed in the direction of Liu Jinwen and continued: "The information Liu Jinwen just provided is that Hu Zhe, out of nowhere, came to the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market."
"And both times we met, Hu Zhe was empty-handed and didn't seem to have purchased any ingredients, right?"
"Yes." Liu Jinwen also nodded silently and added:
"It didn't feel like anything before? After all, this vegetable market does not belong to my family. Maybe Hu Zhe just wanted to see if any vegetable market had anything new. This is entirely possible."
"Since it's not my family's vegetable market, of course anyone can come, but I didn't expect that Vujicic would go so far? So, I think it's quite suspicious."
"Very good." Listening to the two people's respective stories, Gu Chen also roughly understood something about Hu Zhe's abnormal situation.
Obviously, the information provided by the former fat man only shows that Vujicic himself is very likely to realize that he is already in danger.
From the information provided by Liu Jinwen, it can be seen that this threat may come from the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market.
It's okay to come here once, but what does it mean to come here twice? At least Gu Chen still doesn't understand.
And both times he came back empty-handed. Obviously, Hu Zhe came here not to purchase ingredients, but to meet someone.
After learning this information, Gu Chen finally put aside the doubts in his heart.
Then, the door to the private room was pushed open, the waitress served the last few dishes, greeted everyone politely, and left the private room.
Officer Wang was very hungry, so he reminded everyone to use chopsticks.
Everyone also finished the dinner in a heavy atmosphere.
The end of this dinner also means that the metal band formed by Zhang Ying, Hu Zhe, Liu Jinwen and Fatty will officially disband.
As for this meal, it can be regarded as a break-up meal, but Lu Weiwei pays for it.
This meal was actually not an easy one. The most discussed issue during the meal was Vujicic’s issue.
But fortunately, Zhang Ying, Liu Jinwen, and Fatty were all open-minded, so there was some teasing among each other in the entire box from time to time.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Ying left first because she had something to do at home.
The remaining Liu Jinwen and Fatty couldn't stay any longer, so they also left one after another.
Suddenly, only Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were left in the entire box.
Looking at the leftovers on the table, Officer Wang paused with his chopsticks and continued to eat the only dishes.
"Old Wang, you have such a good appetite." Seeing Officer Wang devouring his food, Lu Weiwei also had a look of disdain on her face.
He said in his heart that from the moment it started until now, your Lao Wang hasn't stopped talking, completely interpreting what it means to be reincarnated as a starving ghost.
Officer Wang was also rude and said: "I have never eaten these dishes, so why don't I try hard to eat them? How expensive are these dishes?"
After burping loudly, Officer Wang added, "Although you, Lu Weiwei, are paying for this meal, we have to respect money, right?"
"Senior Sister Lu." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha reminded her:
"I ordered the dishes according to everyone's taste, but there are a few dishes that were imposed by Senior Brother Wang, and the prices are not cheap."
"Haha, I've expected it a long time ago." Listening to Yuan Shasha's report, Lu Weiwei also laughed twice and said involuntarily:
"I asked Xiao Yuan to order according to my recipe before. How come when the dishes were served, there were a few unknown dishes. All of them were ordered by you, Lao Wang?"
"belch……"
As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang burped loudly and said with a smile: "Anyway, Lu Weiwei is treating me to a treat, so I can't be polite to you, can I?"
"Then what did you order?" Lu Weiwei looked curious.
Officer Wang looked at the table, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "I...I don't know what the names of the dishes are?"
"You don't even know what these dishes are called? Are you blind?" Hearing what Officer Wang said, Lu Weiwei wanted to give Comrade Wang a military punch.
But Officer Wang said indifferently: "Anyway, the main reason is that after seeing the three-digit prices on the back of these dishes, I thought I had to try them, so I added a few three-digit dishes."
"Are you ordering three-digit dishes at a food stall?" After listening to what Officer Wang said, he looked at the dishes on the table that he didn't even know what they were. He instantly felt that the money in his pocket had dropped by 300, which made him unhappy.
road:
"So, just these three dishes, you ate more than 300 from me?"
"Hiccup! To be precise, these three dishes together cost almost 380 yuan."
"Haha." Listening to what Officer Wang said, the joints of Lu Weiwei's hands creaked.
Officer Wang raised his eyebrows, instinctively shrank his body back, pointed at Lu Weiwei and complained:
"We have agreed. It was you who said you wanted to treat me to dinner before. I didn't force you, right? Xiao Yuan said he would pay for it himself, but you were the one who rushed to pay."
"I also see that you are stingy when it comes to ordering food. As friends like Zhang Ying are here, I can't let others say that you, Lu Weiwei, are stingy, right?"
"so……"
At the end of the sentence, Officer Wang deliberately made the "so" son's voice longer, and then said:
"So, I will help you become the master and let you have a taste of this delicious food."
"Haha, Lao Wang really has you, okay, I will remember this account."
Lu Weiwei is a vengeful person and will not let herself suffer.
But Officer Wang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, Lu Weiwei bullied me too often, right? Not less than once or twice, hehe."
At the end of the sentence, Officer Wang also proudly showed a hint of evil smile, which made Lu Weiwei feel sick.
But when Lu Weiwei calmed down, she found that Gu Chen had been sitting there quietly in a daze.
So Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Junior Brother Gu, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, should we go to the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market first?" Gu Chen said.
"But it's already dark now, and the vegetable market is closed after dark." Lu Weiwei also reminded.
But Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if it's dark, it doesn't matter if we go over there and check out the situation first."
"By the way, you can also ask the neighbors around to see what is going on in this vegetable market."
"Uh..." Seeing Gu Chen's persistence, Lu Weiwei hesitated for a few seconds and then quickly agreed:
"Okay, let's go now?"
"Go now." Gu Chen also nodded silently and stood up directly.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also brought their things and followed closely behind Gu Chen.
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly picked up his chopsticks, bowed his head, and quickly ate all kinds of vegetables on the plate on the table.
Lu Weiwei, who had just walked out of the private room door, saw this and couldn't stand it anymore. She quickly turned back, took Comrade Wang's arm and said:
"Old Wang, why don't you leave? Do you still want to eat?"
"Only the last few pieces, it's a shame to waste food." After breaking away from Lu Weiwei's entanglement, Officer Wang quickly cleared away the dishes on the plate with lightning speed, and then he took out the paper towel on the table and dipped it in his mouth.
After going downstairs, Lu Weiwei paid the bill and went directly to the vehicle at the door.
After everyone got on Gu Chen's vehicle, they quickly drove towards the vegetable market in Yuhua Logistics Park.
At this moment, the sky was constantly flashing with light, illuminating the dark clouds.
Yuan Shasha lowered the car window and said as a reminder: "Looking at the weather, it seems like it's going to rain heavily."
"It shouldn't rain heavily before we rush to the wet market in Yuhua Logistics Park, right?" Lu Weiwei also made a preliminary guess based on the current specific situation.
But as soon as she finished speaking, a strong wind came, and many debris on the street began to scatter in all directions. Lu Weiwei lowered the car window.
The street suddenly became hazy.
Officer Wang chuckled and complained, "Nothing you say, Lu Weiwei, is accurate. Let me tell you, by the time we get to the wet market in Yuhua Logistics Park, there will be a heavy downpour."
"Okay, then let's make a bet." Lu Weiwei has long been unhappy with Comrade Lao Wang. For one meal, she ate her own 1,000 yuan. How many potato chips would she have to buy?
Officer Wang said harshly: "Am I still afraid of betting with you?"
"Okay!" Seeing Officer Wang come forward, Lu Weiwei quickly added: "Let's bet on the cost of tonight's meal, 925 yuan. Do you want to bet?"
Upon hearing that this girl wanted to get back the money she had paid for the meal, Officer Wang suddenly felt guilty and immediately began to show weakness:
"Hey, I'm just kidding you, why do you take it seriously?"
"Yes, I take it seriously." Lu Weiwei also had a tough attitude.
Officer Wang smiled, waved his hand and said, "I won't bet with you."
"Then shut up and stop being annoying with your chirping here." Lu Weiwei also crossed her arms, feeling that she had made a huge loss on today's meal.
Yuan Shasha watched the two bickering and couldn't help but smile and said: "Senior Sister Lu, calm down. I'll treat you to the next dinner party. I'll treat you."
"Harm! Let's talk about it." Lu Weiwei actually didn't care about this at all, but Officer Wang's chattering was really upsetting.
While the car was still immersed in the atmosphere of bickering, Gu Chen who was driving was extremely calm and remained silent.
…
…
When the time came to 9 o'clock in the evening, Gu Chen turned the vehicle into a fork in the road, and when the so-called Yuhua Logistics Park wet market was ahead, raindrops as big as beans suddenly fell on the car window.
"Da da da!"
The raindrops got bigger and bigger, and soon there was a patter, and the car windows instantly became blurry.
The vision in front of Gu Chen also became hazy in an instant, and Gu Chen also turned on the wiper.
Seeing this scene, Officer Wang immediately regretted it and said, "What a harm! If I had known I would have made a bet with you, Lu Weiwei, and I could earn you another meal. It seems I was careless."
"Haha." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei was so happy that she couldn't help laughing.
I thought to myself that this young lady had escaped a disaster.
If Lao Wang really takes it seriously, he may have to pay for another meal.
Fortunately, Comrade Lao Wang gave up in the end and was unable to withstand the pressure at the critical moment.
Yuan Shasha couldn't help but laugh out loud and tried to persuade her: "Okay, Senior Brother Wang and Senior Sister Lu, please stop arguing. We have now arrived at the entrance of the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market."
While talking, Gu Chen also parked his car firmly in the parking space at the door.
He turned to look at the door of the vegetable market in front of him, and immediately began to take stock.
There are many high-rise buildings around, but the market side is located on a lower ground.
Nearby is a logistics park with many large trucks parked for loading.
The car repair business here is also very good. Along the way, Gu Chen saw many car repair shops.
The fact that there are so many car repair shops shows how exaggerated the daily cargo throughput here is.
"The location seems a bit remote, but the flow of people here is pretty good. There are many communities nearby, and people should buy groceries here."
"And there is no large supermarket nearby, so there are no vegetables sold in supermarkets." Gu Chen said.
"Yes, such a big vegetable market is opened here, and the prices of vegetables sold in a supermarket cannot be sold at all." As Officer Wang spoke, he opened the door and walked out of the vehicle.
He quickly picked up the umbrella in the car and trotted all the way to the rain shelter at the market gate.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also followed closely behind.
Gu Chen, who came out last, also held an umbrella and walked in front of everyone in small steps.
At this moment, an old man pushing a tricycle was still struggling to push the tricycle in the heavy rain.
It seemed that there was something wrong with the vehicle, and the uncle was not wearing a raincoat, and there was a lot of cargo on the back of the tricycle.
When Gu Chen saw this, he hurried over and trotted over. When Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha saw this, they immediately understood what Gu Chen meant.
The three of them instantly followed Gu Chen's footsteps and rushed all the way into the rain.
Several people worked together to push the tricycle under the rain shelter at the entrance of the vegetable market.
"Thank you. Thank you so much just now." The old man, who was breathing heavily, kept bowing to express his thanks.
"Nothing, just a casual matter." Gu Chen also smiled slightly and quickly asked: "By the way, sir, your car..."
"My car?" The uncle was stunned, and quickly replied: "Oh, my car is broken. It always breaks down at critical moments."
"I was riding almost to the entrance of the vegetable market just now, but the chain suddenly fell off."
"You said it was just a matter of dropping the chain, but it suddenly started raining heavily. I had no place to hide, and there were so many goods in the car. It was really unlucky. Fortunately, I met some of you kind-hearted people."
At the end, the uncle's embarrassment just now dissipated a lot.
Lu Weiwei glanced at the goods on the old man's car, and then said: "So the old man sells eggs?"
"Haha, yes, my family sells eggs. We not only sell eggs, but also goose eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs."
"Anyway, if you want ostrich eggs, I can get them for you."
Hearing what the uncle said, Gu Chen also curiously asked him: "Are you a merchant in this market?"
"Yes, my shop is in this vegetable market, why don't you come and have a seat?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, the uncle also greeted him enthusiastically.
Gu Chen looked at the crowd and saw exactly what he meant.
After all, when you come to this strange vegetable market, you are not familiar with the place, and you don’t know the specific conditions of this vegetable market.
It was late at night again, and I wanted to ask about something, but I couldn't find anyone.
But now it's better. There happens to be an uncle who is a merchant here. Gu Chen feels that he has found the right person.
So he smiled and said: "Okay, uncle, we will help you push the cart."
After the words fell, Gu Chen continued to greet everyone and push the cart for the uncle.
The uncle was flattered and said quickly: "Oh, thank you so much, thank you."
As soon as the words fell, several people pushed the uncle's tricycle filled with eggs into the market gate.
At this moment, although the door of the vegetable market is open, many or most of the merchants inside have closed their doors.
Only a few businesses still have their lights on, but they are all doing some finishing work.
The uncle enthusiastically pointed to a sign in front and said, "That's my store. It's not big."
"Okay!" After hearing what the uncle said, Gu Chen worked even harder until he pushed the broken tricycle to the door of the store.
The uncle took out the key, quickly opened the rolling shutter door, and then pushed it upward.
With a violent friction sound, the rolling shutter door flew directly to the top.
What came to mind was the smell of feces.
"The smell is a bit unpleasant, haha." The uncle laughed to himself and quickly turned on the store lights.
With the help of the store's lights, Gu Chen raised his head and looked around.
The environment here can be seen clearly in an instant.
The uncle was not idle either. After entering, he took out several bottles of mineral water from a foam box and handed them to everyone, saying:
"Everyone, drink some water."
"No need, sir." Lu Weiwei grinned and waved her hand to refuse.
