Gu Chen and others were standing outside the door when they saw a man wearing an administrator's blue uniform walking quickly down the stairs.
The moment he saw everyone, his eyes were the first to lock eyes on the uncle. With a flattering expression, he took out the key, walked to the door, opened the lock, and said with a smile:
"Uncle Zou, are you still busy at this late hour?"
"No, the chain of the tricycle fell off. I have to get it here to repair it. It just happened to catch up with the heavy rain again."
Lifting up his wet shoes, the uncle also smiled and said: "My whole body is soaked by the rain. Fortunately, these young people helped me push the car, otherwise it would definitely be worse than it is now."
"Ouch." After hearing what the uncle said, the man in blue uniform also said with a worried look on his face:
"I said, Uncle Zou, you are not short of money, why do you always like to mess around with these things, making yourself very embarrassed every day, not to mention the hard work."
"You said you are enjoying your old age, isn't it great? I go to the park to practice Tai Chi every day, and go on group trips with my peers. My life in my childhood will definitely be much more nourishing than what I am living now."
Looking up and down the uncle's body, the man in blue uniform said again: "Sometimes I really don't understand what you rich people think?"
"Is the uncle a rich man?" Lu Weiwei was also confused when she heard what the man in blue uniform said.
Are you thinking that rich people go to the Yuhua Logistics Park vegetable market to sell eggs? What the hell kind of operation is this?
After listening to Lu Weiwei's words, the man in blue uniform looked at the outstanding-looking Lu Weiwei for the first time and explained with a smile:
"Perhaps you don't know this beauty, right?" After the words fell, the man pointed to the old man and said:
"This is Uncle Zou. His youngest son's name is Zou Yuhua."
"Is it important what you call it?" Lu Weiwei, who had not yet reacted, said casually.
Upon hearing this, Officer Wang quickly leaned into Lu Weiwei's ear and whispered, "Lu Weiwei, have you forgotten the name of the vegetable market we are coming to?"
"How could you forget?" Feeling that Comrade Lao Wang is humiliating himself? Lu Weiwei replied with a side face:
"Is it the vegetable market in Yuhua Logistics Park?"
After the words fell, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt something familiar.
Officer Wang's right hand was clasped on his left palm, and then he asked Lu Weiwei: "Then let me ask you again, what is the name of Uncle Zou's youngest son?"
"Zou Yuhua?" Lu Weiwei blurted out directly.
However, at this moment, Lu Weiwei realized what she was doing. She looked at the man in blue uniform with dumbfounded eyes and asked hurriedly: "So...so, this Yuhua Logistics Park wet market is opened by Uncle Zou's youngest son."
?”
"Yeah." It felt like Lu Weiwei's reaction was still a little slow, but the man in blue uniform still nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"That's right, the entire Yuhua Logistics Park here is the property of Uncle Zou's youngest son, Mr. Zou."
"And this Yuhua Logistics Park wet market is just a food market built by the logistics park to make it easier for the people around to buy food."
“The rent here is very low, the environment is very good, and the flow of people is quite large.”
After a pause, the man in blue uniform asked Lu Weiwei again: "So beauty, you know who Uncle Zou is now, right? He is Mr. Zou's father."
"But……"
Hearing what the man in blue uniform said, Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, looked at the uncle with a look of confusion, and asked him curiously:
"But Uncle Zou, your son is obviously so promising, but why do you still sell eggs in this vegetable market?"
Glancing at the man in blue uniform beside her, Lu Weiwei added: "As this gentleman said, you can enjoy your old age in peace, and there is no need to work so hard."
"Haha." Seeing that Lu Weiwei's problem seemed to be the problem of most people, Uncle Zou waved his hand and said with a smile:
"You may not know that our family has always sold eggs."
"I, Lao Zou, raised these two sons little by little by selling eggs, sent them to college, and trained them to become talents."
"So, selling eggs is my old profession."
"But uncle, don't you want to take a rest?" Gu Chen also looked at the uncle for a long time and felt that this uncle was a bit interesting.
The uncle glanced at Gu Chen, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Young man, maybe most people who have a son like me would have retired a long time ago, but I, Lao Zou, am a person who can't take any time off."
"In the past, my youngest son took me to live in his villa, but I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, and I lived in small buildings in the countryside."
"When you go out, you'll find an open world, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Even if you give me a mountain of gold and silver, I won't change it."
Spreading his hands, the uncle added: "But ever since I moved into my younger son's villa, I feel like I'm being held captive."
"The house is more luxurious than the previous rural houses, and the decoration is more luxurious. But when you go out, you can see a small mini yard, surrounded by various tall walls."
"I just feel like it's not comfortable to live in. It's not as comfortable as living in a rural house."
Turning to look at the crowd, Uncle Zou also spoke eloquently: "As you know, I have been selling eggs for a living. Over the years, I have helped many farmers solve their employment problems."
"I don't produce eggs at home. I buy other people's eggs to find a way out for them."
"For so many years, the folks in this village have placed great trust in me. Not only have I made some small money myself, but I have also solved some income problems for the folks."
"Moreover, after such a long industrial chain, I suddenly stopped being in the egg business. I was relieved, but sales for the folks became a problem."
With a faint sigh, Uncle Zou also looked like he was on a mission and talked eloquently:
"So, I couldn't take any time off, so I went to find my youngest son. I said, you can free up a shop for me in this vegetable market. I will continue my egg business and help the villagers solve their problems.
Let’s talk about the marketing of eggs.”

Uncle Zou waved his hand and said with a smile: "My youngest son didn't agree with it at first, but he couldn't bear my persistence."
"Finally, I called my eldest son's family over and tried to persuade me, but they couldn't persuade me because they also knew my character."
Looking at Gu Chen, Uncle Zou also smiled and said, "Actually, that's what I told my two sons."
"I said, as a human being, we must not forget our roots. The reason why your father's business was able to improve and he was able to provide for you to study was all because of the help of the villagers."
"Oh, now that you are developed, you don't care about the life and death of those folks in your hometown? We came from the mountainous areas, so we can't forget our roots."
"I said I must sell these eggs. If you two have some conscience, you can use your connections to help introduce some big customers. That will be the greatest help to your father."
"No wonder." After hearing what Uncle Zou said, Gu Chen also smiled slightly and said:
"No wonder Uncle Zou's shop is small, but he has a lot of orders, and they are all big customers like hotels."
Nodding silently, Gu Chen added: "I understand now, your two sons are helping introduce customers, right?"
"Haha, yes." Uncle Zou didn't hide it and said straightforwardly:
"I have educated these two sons since they were young, so they naturally understand what I mean."
"So, I used some of my connections to let these friends who have eggs or other eggs in need, go to the market and find me, a bad old man, to purchase them."
"Anyway, I feel uncomfortable all over when I don't work, and I always suffer from a lot of problems. But when I work, my waist doesn't hurt and my legs don't feel sore. I feel like exercise can cure all diseases."
"Pfft!" Hearing what Uncle Zou said, the man in blue uniform couldn't help but said with a smile:
"I said, Uncle Zou, you are really hard-working. You don't enjoy the wealth and wealth, but seek hard work. You have worked hard for most of your life, but you still don't want to rest. What do you think you are doing with so much money? There is no shortage of money at home.
"
"No." As soon as the man in blue uniform finished speaking, Uncle Zou waved his hand and interrupted:
"Don't you understand, do I make money? What I make is not money, it's not money at all. What I make is the worldliness, the trust that the folks have in me, and the strong support I have received from the folks over the years.
A kind of feedback."
"I, Old Zou, don't have any abilities, but I still have the ability to repay kindness."
After the words fell, Uncle Zou walked to Gu Chen and introduced to the man in blue uniform:
"These guys just helped me push my cart to the market in the heavy rain, and then they pushed my broken-chain tricycle here in the heavy rain."
"They are going to the market now to look for the list of shops to rent here. You can help them solve the problem."
"this……"
Upon hearing what Uncle Zou said, the man in blue uniform was suddenly confused and quickly explained to Uncle Zou:
"Uncle Zou, this list of merchants is a secret of our market and cannot be shown to anyone casually. This is a system requirement."
"I just want to find the list of customers. It's not that troublesome." After thinking about it, Uncle Zou glanced at Gu Chen behind him and asked curiously:
"By the way, young man, what are you looking for with this merchant list?"
"Oh, that's right, we want to know who is leasing warehouses No. 001 and No. 002 in the E5 area of the vegetable market?" Gu Chen said truthfully.
"That won't work either." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the man in blue uniform also objected:
"Who rents this? This cannot be shown to others casually. After all, it involves the privacy issues of some customers."
"We have regulations in the market and cannot disclose it to strangers casually. It is mainly some leasing customers who do not want their information to be mastered by others, especially some competitors."
After a pause, the man in blue uniform also pretended: "I may not be able to help you with this."
"Just help me, if it's not against the law." Uncle Zou felt like he was hitting a wall with this help.
The man in blue uniform said truthfully: "Uncle Zou, it's not that I don't want to sell you face, but it's because during the meeting before, Mr. Zou gave repeated orders not to disclose the merchant's information casually."
"If you encounter anyone who inquires about the rent of a shop or asks for information about the tenants of a shop, you are not allowed to disclose it."
Spreading his hands, the man in blue uniform also said helplessly: "These are Mr. Zou's repeated requests, and Mr. Zou also said that if anyone dares to reveal it, no matter who it is, he will not be polite."
Approaching Uncle Zou's ear, the man in blue uniform also had a look of embarrassment: "Mr. Zou said this, then the people below us must do this, otherwise we will lose our jobs."
"But, you, Uncle Zou, are Mr. Zou's father. You can call Mr. Zou personally. As long as Mr. Zou agrees, I will invite you in immediately without saying a word. There will be nothing to say."
After the words fell, the man suddenly put on a bitter face and said: "But there is nothing we can do now, what do you think?"
"This..." Uncle Zou was instantly defeated by a man in blue uniform.
What the man in blue uniform said is not unreasonable.
The rules and regulations of the younger son's company naturally need to be followed according to the rules.
Although Uncle Zou is a man who pays attention to repaying kindness and being worldly, he can easily fall into a dilemma when faced with this situation.
Looking at Gu Chen and others, Uncle Zou also asked with a troubled face: "Young man, do you have to know the specific information about the tenant of that shop?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently.
But Uncle Zou's expression became even more troubled, and he sighed and said, "The rules made by my son must not be violated."
"If, as his father, you dare to blatantly violate the rules and regulations he established, it would be a slap in his face."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If this is the case, then it will not be good for everyone to break the rules like this in the future."
After thinking about it, the uncle came up with another solution: "How about this? There are two stores in area E5 of the vegetable market, No. 001 and No. 002, right?"
"Yes." Lu Weiwei walked out and said.
"I understand. How about I go back and ask people in the market? After all, I seem to know a little bit about those two shops. They are always closed, and I don't know whose shop they are."
"Not many people in the market seem to know about it, but there are always one or two who do. Can I help you find out later?"
"No need, uncle." Feeling that he was really embarrassing this uncle Zou, Gu Chen also smiled slightly, then took out his police ID card, showed it in front of uncle Zou and the man in blue uniform, and said:
"I am Gu Chen, the deputy director of Furong Branch. I am here mainly to investigate something related to a murder case."
"And those two stores are related to a victim. We came here this time to verify with your market and see what is going on here?"
"If it's not convenient for your company, you might as well give me Mr. Zou's phone number and I'll come and communicate with him in person."
"Ah?" Hearing Gu Chen reveal his name, the man in blue uniform quickly looked Gu Chen up and down and said in disbelief:
"You said you were..."
"Gu Chen, Deputy Director of Furong Branch." Before the man in blue uniform could finish speaking, Yuan Shasha, who was standing behind Gu Chen, took the lead and added.
"Deputy Director? But you look..."
"You're very young, right?" Officer Wang said with a smile.
"Yes, why?" The man in blue uniform didn't quite understand.
Lu Weiwei looked proud and couldn't help but smile and said: "My junior brother Gu is the youngest branch director in the entire Furong branch. You can find out about this yourself."
"Okay." He had seen Gu Chen's ID, and also knew about Gu Chen's position. He also heard that Gu Chen was here to investigate a murder case.
Feeling that he couldn't afford to offend, he quickly said: "If these people are here to investigate the case, there should be no problem."
"Do I need to inform you, Mr. Zou?" Gu Chen asked politely.
"No...it's not necessary. It is our company's obligation to cooperate with the police in handling the case. Besides, why don't we just check who is leasing the shops at Nos. 001 and 002 in Area E5? I'll just take you there."
After the words fell, the man in blue uniform no longer bothered about the rules and regulations.
Gu Chen's identity and certificate are the best passes.
Seeing that Gu Chen and others were policemen, Uncle Zou also smiled and said: "Young man, I didn't expect that you are the people's police?"
"At such a young age, you are already the deputy director of the branch? Ouch..."
While speaking, Uncle Zou continued to look at Gu Chen up and down, and said in disbelief:
"You are better than my son. When my son was your age, he was still a small employee in the company. He is awesome, really awesome."
"Uncle Zou, you're welcome." Gu Chen still politely agreed and quickly explained:
"I'm sorry that I concealed my identity from you just now because of the need for investigation. Thank you for providing us with a lot of useful information."
"Harmful!" Seeing Gu Chen being so polite to him, Uncle Zou waved his hand and said, "That's what we should do. You guys help me, I'll help you, do we all help each other?"
"Hahaha."
Several people also separated amidst a burst of laughter.
Uncle Zou walked towards the repair shop, ready to tinker with the tricycle he had taken off the chain from.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, led by the men in blue uniforms, went directly to the second floor of the market management center.
Everyone came to an office, and the man in blue uniform quickly walked to his seat, turned on his computer, and began to look up merchant information.
Gu Chen and others gathered behind the man.
After a while, the man in blue uniform quickly found the answer Gu Chen wanted. He also pointed at the computer screen and said:
"Gu Bureau, the merchant information you are looking for is right here. This person's name is...Hu Zhe. The specific time when the store was rented was...a month ago."
"Vujicic?" Gu Chen frowned slightly when he saw this familiar name.
And Lu Weiwei also said in disbelief: "It's really him?"
"What is his purpose for leasing these two stores?" Officer Wang also looked curious.
The man in blue uniform shook his head: "I'm not sure about this."
After he finished speaking, the man pulled the information sheet to the left, revealing the notes on the right side. Then the man in blue uniform quickly said:
"Oh, by the way, he marked it as a warehouse."
Turning to look at Gu Chen behind him, the man in blue uniform continued to explain: "As you know, our vegetable market here is actually quite big."
"Many people have their own shops in good locations in the market, and warehouses generally rent less prominent locations in our market, such as corner locations."
"These places usually don't have much traffic, so it's difficult to use them as pawn shops and can only be used as warehouses."
"There are also some people who directly rent warehouses nearby, but they are not too far away."
After a pause, the man in blue uniform said again: "So, this place is definitely used as a warehouse. As for what the merchants are going to use it for? This is not managed by our management center."
"What if dangerous goods are stored?" Yuan Shasha questioned.
The man in blue uniform stared blankly, but also smiled and said: "Comrade female police officer, I think this problem generally does not exist, right?"
"Who said that?" As soon as the man in blue uniform finished speaking, Officer Wang retorted:
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If dangerous goods are stored in this warehouse, it will also be a serious safety hazard for your entire market."
"Well, what you said is right." I felt that what Comrade Lao Wang said was not unreasonable, but the man in blue uniform also defended himself:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But you have to know that there are many merchants in our vegetable market, and everyone's busy life revolves around vegetables."
"The vegetable market, of course, stores vegetable-related items. With so many warehouses, we don't pay much attention to these."
"You don't need to pay attention to it, but if you want to say that someone rents a warehouse and stores dangerous goods, the probability should be very small."
"Okay." Listening to what the man in blue uniform said, Gu Chen also raised his own doubts:
"Then let me ask you, your property management personnel patrol the market every day, right?"
"Oh, right." Not sure what Gu Chen meant, the man in blue uniform nodded blankly, and then said:
"Every morning, afternoon, and evening, we conduct inspections several times. This is part of our property management work."
"Okay." After listening to what the man in blue uniform said, Gu Chen said again:
"Then let me ask you, what is stored in the warehouses No. 001 and No. 002 in Area E5? Do you know?"
"Uh...this..."
Feeling that Gu Chen was making things difficult for himself, the man in blue uniform quickly clicked the computer mouse and read the text in the merchant information column twice before shaking his head and explaining:
"Sorry, it's not noted here."
"Then you haven't been to the market, right?" Yuan Shasha said.
The man in blue uniform nodded silently: "Yes, there are too many merchants and warehouses. We may not care about these. After all, the doors are always closed."
"If it was open one day, surely we would know what was in it?"
"Then let me tell you." As soon as the man in blue uniform finished speaking, Gu Chen also said calmly:
"These two warehouses will be opened around midnight every night, and will be locked again early the next morning. Do you have any idea about this?"
"Ah? Is there still such a thing?" I was also shocked by Gu Chen's words, thinking that you actually know more details than me?
But what I just said was a slap in the face, wasn't it?
After thinking about it, the man in blue uniform also curiously asked Gu Chen for advice: "Gu Bureau, how did you know?"
"How do I know? I have my own methods." Gu Chen didn't say it clearly, and then said:
"I can also tell you that the merchants who rented these two warehouses are likely to have been killed."
"And these two warehouses hidden in your Yuhua wet market have always been a mystery. This merchant often comes here in the early morning and leaves early the next morning."
"We really want to find out now, what is he doing inside?"
"Well……"
He was also confused by Gu Chen's outburst.
The man in blue uniform was stunned for several seconds before he slowly said:
"Gu Bureau, according to you, there is really a problem with these two warehouses?"
"If there is any problem, you will know as soon as you open it." Lu Weiwei said.
"But..." Feeling that he was in trouble again, the man in blue uniform said helplessly:
"But, we don't have the key to the store here? How to open it?"
"Is there no other way?" Officer Wang said.
"Yes, there is." The man in blue uniform was also thinking, and then said:
"How about? I'll ask someone to bring tools and pick the lock?"
Before Gu Chen and others could speak, the man in blue uniform said again: "Of course, you have to testify. It was your police who authorized and under the supervision of your police to open the warehouse."
"Otherwise, if merchants in the warehouse come to cause trouble, our market cannot bear this responsibility."
"You don't need to take responsibility for this, because the merchant you mentioned has probably been killed, and we can't contact him at all." It felt like the man in blue uniform obviously knew nothing about Vujicic's situation.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei still needed to explain it to him in detail.
"That's good, that's good." Feeling that everything was done, the man in blue uniform began to take out his mobile phone and began to contact his contacts.
Not long after, the phone was connected, and the man in blue uniform asked directly: "Where are you?"
"What? Playing cards in the supermarket next to the market office? Stop playing now and go to the warehouse to get the tools."
After a pause for a few seconds, the man in blue uniform said again: "What are you doing? Pry open the door?"
After looking at Gu Chen and the others in front of him, the man in blue uniform continued to explain: "There are a few policemen standing next to me now. They need to investigate a warehouse. Yes, there may be some problems with this warehouse, but we don't have the key."
"Now, right away, bring your demolition tools. Yes, come to my place. Let's go to the market together and open the warehouse door. Yes, yes, hurry up. We will wait for you here, um
,good."
After a while of communication, the man in blue uniform hung up the phone and sighed quietly. Then he looked at Gu Chen with a smile and said:
"Gu Bureau, we have arranged everything for you. The demolition master is playing cards in the supermarket next door. I asked him to bring his tools and serve you."
