In the interrogation room, Zhao Qiang seemed quite confident in his methods, which also verified everyone's determination of Zhao Qiang's identity.
Yes, Zhao Qiang is the one who does the dirty work for Zou Yuhua.
For many well-known entrepreneurs, such a figure seems to be in great need.
Officer Wang asked with a serious face: "You said you helped Zou Yuhua get rid of the entanglements of those nail households. So, those households in the nail households never caused trouble to Zou Yuhua again?"
"It can be understood that way." Seeing Officer Wang say this, Zhao Qiang also nodded silently and couldn't help but say:
"Actually, I just used some threats, but after all, Zou Yuhua is a well-known entrepreneur, and he will definitely not admit to such a shameful thing."
"He is afraid that these people will ruin his reputation in the future. Therefore, before using me, he also said that the two of us cannot have any involvement."
"He promised me that he would pay me some compensation, but this matter has nothing to do with him, and he has never known me."
With a faint sigh, Zhao Qiang also sighed and said: "Anyway, people are born with their own attributes, and this world has been designed long ago."
"As a member of this design landscape, I do what I should do and earn the money I should earn, that's all."
"As for other things, I won't think too much about it. I'll just use the money to do things."
"You keep saying that you do things for Zou Yuhua, but you have frequent contact with Zou Yuhua at the Southern Restaurant. You must have done a lot of things for him over the years, right?" Lu Weiwei also saw that Zhao Qiang is now a bit subdued.
Therefore, it is best to ask clearly about Hu Zhe's situation.
But Zhao Qiang chuckled and shook his head: "It's not as complicated as you think."
"Every time I have no money to spend, I just ask him for money."
"You're lying." As soon as Zhao Qiang finished speaking, Gu Chen retorted directly:
"If you just ask him for some money, there is no need to go to the Southern Restaurant to meet him."
"When you and Zou Yuhua ate together at the Southern Restaurant, you frequently exchanged information, but you didn't dare to let others know that you two were actually acquaintances."
"There's a lot of information here, but it's not as simple as you said."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "Tell me, what exactly is he looking for you for?"
"Haha." It felt like Gu Chen was not that easy to fool after all, so Zhao Qiang also laughed dryly before nodding and admitting:
"Yes, he asked me for something, just some small things."
"For example, some competitors always cause trouble for him. It is inconvenient for him to negotiate with these competitors on some matters, so he needs a middleman."
"And you are the middleman?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Zhao Qiang nodded silently: "Yes, I am the middleman. After all, I also know the people on his competitor's side."
"Anyway, I can speak well to them."
"Therefore, it is more convenient to negotiate with me than to negotiate directly with competitors, and it can also avoid the embarrassment of meeting between them."
"If anything happens, let us middlemen solve the problem. So, I just went to help him deal with some troubles between competitors."
"Can you be more specific?" Officer Wang raised his head and stared at Zhao Qiang, and continued to ask.
Zhao Qiang chuckled, looked up at the ceiling, and replied thoughtfully:
"Specific? For example, Zou Yuhua's logistics park, some popular freight companies used to be based here."
"But later, competitors used some means to move the sites of these freight companies to theirs."
"But Zou Yuhua definitely won't do it. This is obviously poaching."
"Wouldn't it be enough to set up one site on one side?" Lu Weiwei felt that this question was a bit simple and not difficult to resolve.
But Zhao Qiang waved his hand and said, "You don't understand the rules here. There are many freight companies moving into the logistics park."
"There are some freight companies on popular routes. They have absolute advantages in terms of quotations. Many merchants like to use the services of these freight companies."
"Therefore, the arrival of these freight companies and related supporting industries will increase the income of the logistics park."
"But if you are poached by others with better conditions, it means that you will lose some income, which will also have an impact on the brand building."
After a pause, seeing that Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand, Zhao Qiang continued to explain: "In short, this is monopoly and poaching."
"You also said that it's okay to set up an outlet on one side, but competitors don't think so."
"The so-called "you without him", "him without you", and the competition is quite fierce. Each camp has its trump card."
"However, if you do this, everyone will lose. But the bosses on both sides have been competing for many years, so it is difficult to sit down and negotiate."
"At this time, we intermediaries, people who can speak out, can represent the positions of both parties privately to resolve this matter."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Qiang also spoke eloquently: "Of course, there are many commercial secrets involved, and I will definitely not tell them."
"It's nothing more than you making concessions in certain places and he making concessions in certain places."
"Then mutual interests pull together, and finally a rough consensus is formed, and this... is the distribution of interests."
Looking up at Gu Chen and the others in front of him, Zhao Qiang also shook his head and said: "The overt and covert fighting between these business tycoons is comparable to the harem, or even worse than this."
"When you are in it, sometimes it is difficult to extricate yourself, and many things cannot be solved openly."
"But because I helped Zou Yuhua handle some shady matters, he was afraid that he would be implicated because of my situation."
"That's why he chooses to meet me at the Southern Restaurant every time. This is actually his intention."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Are these the only things?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhao Qiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what else do you want to know?"
"About Hu Zhe's situation." Gu Chen said.
"Hu Zhe?" Hearing Gu Chen's question, Zhao Qiang frowned and was a little confused, and asked hurriedly: "Who is Hu Zhe?"
"The owner of a night market barbecue stall is also a member of a metal band." Lu Weiwei quickly added.
Zhao Qiang waved his hand: "I don't know."
"Are you really not familiar with me or are you pretending not to know me?" Officer Wang felt that Zhao Qiang was hiding something.
But Zhao Qiang waved his hand and denied it: "I'm sorry, I really haven't heard of Hu Zhe?"
"I thought which business tycoon you were talking about? I didn't expect him to be a night market barbecue guy, or a member of a metal band?"
"Then you don't know what you mean at all?" Officer Wang frowned and continued to ask.
However, Zhao Qiang explained with a smile: "Comrade police, I will tell you what I know, but how do you want me to tell you someone I don't know at all?"
Shaking his head, Zhao Qiang said helplessly: "Actually, I keep all the things I did for Zou Yuhua in my heart and will never forget them."
"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Qiang was a bit arrogant, Gu Chen couldn't tell for the time being, which of the things this guy said were true and which were false?
After thinking about it, he continued: "Tell me, how much do you know about Zou Yuhua?"
"Zou Yuhua?" After saying this name, Zhao Qiang narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking.
After a moment, he looked at Gu Chen and said slowly:
"I said that it was an accidental opportunity that I met him."
"At that time, I got into a fight in front of a food stall in a night market and accidentally scratched a luxury car parked on the roadside. I thought I would have to pay a lot of money."
"Just when I was extremely anxious, Zou Yuhua came to me. It turned out that he was also sitting there eating supper with his friends, and he also saw me having conflicts with others."
"Especially when they saw the other three fighting against the three of us, my other two friends didn't dare to fight at all. It was up to me to fight three by myself and beat the other party until they pissed."
With a heavy sigh, Zhao Qiang recalled with a smile: "Zou Yuhua came to the car, and I asked him, is this your car?"
"He said yes, and I said, I'm sorry, I just had a fight and accidentally scratched your car. I'll pay you how much."
"After all, I know this car is expensive, but after all, I drank too much at the time, and the other two are female friends, so I want to save face."
"A man shouldn't be cowardly at this time, but Zou Yuhua smiled, touched the scratched area with his hand, and said it was fine. You don't have to pay for the car."
"I was quite ungrateful at the time. I just said thank you coldly. I felt like I should run away quickly before he regretted it."
"But the moment I turned around, I was stopped by him again. I thought he had regretted his decision, but unexpectedly, he handed me a business card and said he wanted to be my friend."
"Let me go to a hotel room to find him the next day, and he invites me to dinner."
"He really said that?" After hearing what Zhao Qiang said, Yuan Shasha felt that Zou Yuhua was obviously trying to win over people's hearts.
But Zhao Qiang also nodded and said: "Yes, he did say that at the time. He also said that he would pay for the things damaged in today's fight."
"I asked him why? He said there was no reason. He just wanted to make me a friend."
"I also need to remember to be on time for my appointment tomorrow."
After saying this, Zhao Qiang rubbed his face with both hands and said in disbelief: "At that time, I couldn't believe that such a fool existed? It felt like he must have drunk too much and did some stupid things."
"Later, when I was about to leave, I discovered that he even paid for my meal."
"I felt at that time that this Zou Yuhua was quite a nice person, and I wanted to owe him a favor. Moreover, when I came to Jiangnan City, I couldn't find a job."
"And Zou Yuhua drives a luxury car, so he must be relatively wealthy."
With a faint sigh, Zhao Qiang also scratched his hair with his right hand, and then said again:
"Later, when I returned to the rental house, I couldn't sleep at night. I was thinking about the idiot Zou Yuhua I met at night and the business card he gave me."
"So I took it out of my pocket, held it in my hand and looked at it over and over again, and then I realized that this person was a big boss."
"Thinking about him inviting me over for a date, he must really want to make me a friend, right?"
"So? You just went?" Officer Wang asked.
Zhao Qiang nodded silently: "Actually, I have no other choice. I have not been good at studying since I was a child. I came out to join the society very early and worked everywhere."
"After I came to Jiangnan City, I didn't have any skills, and it was hard to find a job."
"Living day by day, I always feel like I lack opportunities."
"But later, when I received the business card, I thought that since you are a big boss and want to make me a friend, well, I will ask him to help me find a job in the company tomorrow."
"It's also a way to see if he is sincere. After all, I will make money by being friends with him."
"You think very clearly." Seeing what Zhao Qiang said, Lu Weiwei could also see that this guy was a typical mercenary.
But Zhao Qiang laughed a few times and said disapprovingly: "What else? I don't have a better way out."
"At that time, I needed to make money and live, so the next day, I arrived at a high-end hotel at the time and place agreed upon."
After saying this, Zhao Qiang seemed to have endless aftertaste and continued to describe: "That hotel is very high-end. I feel that it is not a place where I can come."
After making a few gestures with his hands, Zhao Qiang, who had recovered from his intoxication, waved his hands and said with some disappointment:
"I haven't read any books, so I can't describe the scene. I just feel that the hotel is very grand, and the waiters are all selected according to the standards of flight attendants. They look very exciting."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "At first, one of their beautiful waitresses looked down on me and asked me if I was here to apply for a security guard job or what I was doing?"
"I thought to myself, are you looking down on me? But when I look back, I don't have much style when I'm dressed like this. Isn't it just that I'm looking down on when I come to such a high-end place?"
"But I will never forget that when I told her the number of the private room, her face suddenly became extremely polite and she took me there very enthusiastically."
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiwei looked stunned and asked curiously.
Zhao Qiang raised his head and thought back, "At first, I didn't know what was going on?"
"But later I discovered that the box was very luxurious, and it was the box booked by Zou Yuhua."
"I thought he was meeting clients here and just asked me to come over for a meal."
"What about the actual situation?" Officer Wang quickly asked again.
"Actually?" Zhao Qiang narrowed his eyes and said in disbelief:
"But actually, I was the only guest that day."
"Are you the only one?" Gu Chen frowned slightly and asked him out of curiosity:
"So, did Zou Yuhua really invite you to dine in this luxurious private room that day?"
Seeing Zhao Qiang silently nodding in acknowledgement, Gu Chen added, "You must be in the private room and have something very important to talk about, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Qiang didn't want to deny anything. Instead, he admitted directly:
"Zou Yuhua has something to ask for, but this dish makes me a little unbelievable."
"That's the kind of thing. You originally thought he wanted to treat you to a food stall to make a friend. After all, he was sitting on the street eating a food stall that night."
"But later I found out that they really wanted to be your friend, and they even booked a private room in a high-end restaurant."
"The private room didn't look cheap at first glance, but I was the only one hosting the banquet. At that time, I felt that this guy was pretty good, and I was climbing a high tree."
After saying this, Zhao Qiang seemed to be still thinking about it.
Lu Weiwei knocked on the table and said as a reminder: "Be specific and explain clearly what happened to you that time."
"Huh!" Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Zhao Qiang took a breath and slowly replied:
"That day actually revolved around what help I could provide him."
"He said that the night before, he saw the whole fight with me. Three strong men, even though they couldn't get the slightest advantage, were all beaten down by me."
"He felt that I had good skills, so I told him that I had practiced Sanda boxing in a sports school since I was a child."
"So, he valued these abilities of mine, and I asked him jokingly if he wanted me to be the captain of his company's security team?"
"I said, with my abilities, among other things, I should be able to be the captain of the security team."
"As long as someone makes trouble, I can help him settle it."
"Then what happened next?" Seeing that Zhao Qiang seemed to be getting more and more energetic as he talked, Gu Chen also lay on his seat and listened patiently to Zhao Qiang's explanation.
Zhao Qiang was also very cooperative and continued: "Later I discovered that he seemed to have no intention of letting me work in his company at all."
"He met me because he was interested in my abilities. He wanted me to do things for him, but not those things in the company."
"He wanted me to help him solve some troubles that he couldn't bring to the table, which are the things I told you later."
After a pause, Zhao Qiang said calmly: "In short, he gave me an annual salary, which is not low. In the final analysis, he just wants to support me."
"Normally, what do I like to do? He won't ask, and I will still get my salary."
"Moreover, he will also give me some extra public relations expenses."
"Public relations expenses?" Upon hearing this, Lu Weiwei suddenly became interested and asked hurriedly: "What do you need from public relations?"
"Haha." It felt like Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand her network of connections, so Zhao Qiang laughed twice and explained patiently:
"Actually, at the end of the day, it's just for me to take care of some social relations."
"Because I often hang out in society, I know more people from all walks of life."
"If you know someone, you always want to treat them to dinner, get a massage, sing a song or something, right?"
"Because Zou Yuhua is very smart. He knows that I may not be able to handle many things by myself. Instead, he needs more people like me to do things for him."
"So, it was during that dinner that I realized that Zou Yuhua wanted me to do things for him, and he also wanted me to make friends with some people in society to work for him together."
"However, by not contacting these people directly, he also avoids causing trouble for himself."
"So he only contacts you?" Gu Chen said.
"Yes." Zhao Qiang didn't hide anything? He nodded and admitted:
"He only contacts me, that is, after that meal, he will not meet me so directly again, but will make an appointment at the Southern Restaurant."
"Because this place is an old business district, and the Southern Restaurant is inconspicuous, so when you spend money here, you won't be seen by acquaintances."
"so……"
Halfway through his words, Zhao Qiang looked up at the projection on the wall behind Gu Chen and the others, sighed quietly, and continued:
"So, there was a situation where he and I had dinner at the Southern Restaurant. You all saw this through surveillance, so I won't say more."
"Anyway, that's what happened."
After saying this, Zhao Qiang also sighed heavily, feeling that he was being targeted because he was too hasty.
Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and asked calmly: "That means that Zou Yuhua will not only give you an annual salary, but also give you some public relations expenses, so that you can invite these people from all walks of life to eat, drink and sing."
"But in fact, they are all cultivating some connections in society, connections to work for him, right?"
"I didn't have much ability before, and the people I came into contact with were at my own level."
"I hate those rich people very much. I feel that all the money in society is made by these rich people."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "And we ordinary people, working hard, only earn a little."
"It wasn't until I met Zou Yuhua, a wealthy boss, that I fully understood that you can't make a lot of money by working part-time."
"For those of them who can do such a big business, who is not ruthless? They are not fuel-efficient."
"On the surface, Zou Yuhua is a successful entrepreneur and does various charities to promote himself."
"But behind the scenes, he is just a despicable person. In order to achieve his own goals, he can use any means. Note, any means."
Afraid that Gu Chen would not understand the situation, Zhao Qiang also emphasized "any means".
Of course, Gu Chen also knew how brutal competition was needed to gain a foothold in the business world.
We also know the horror of business wars, and of course we also know that behind every successful entrepreneur, there are many unknown things.
But Gu Chen doesn't want to understand this now, he just wants to understand Zou Yuhua in all aspects.
But after Zhao Qiang's analysis one by one, Gu Chen felt more and more that Zou Yuhua was more and more consistent with the situation he suspected of the man behind the scenes.
However, from what Zhao Qiang said, he was only handling some business disputes for Zou Yuhua and acting as a middleman.
But none of these circumstances seem to have anything to do with Hu Zhe's disappearance.
But Gu Chen also knew that the reason why Hu Zhe was able to rent the two secret stalls at the wet market in Yuhua Logistics Park may be related to Zou Yuhua.
Moreover, it is impossible for Hu Zhe to secretly transport so many pickles in and out by himself. There must be other helpers.
In addition, the pickles in the warehouse were obviously to cover up other smells, Gu Chen was convinced of this.
However, what Zhao Qiang expressed here seems to be somewhat contrary to his own investigation of Hu Zhe.
Gu Chen didn't understand. Is Zhao Qiang lying and making up stories? Or he really didn't know Hu Zhe's situation.
After a pause, Gu Chen continued to ask: "Zhao Qiang, let me ask you, apart from you, who helps Zou Yuhua solve social problems for him, does anyone else solve these disputes for him?"
"There shouldn't be, right?" Zhao Qiang shook his head and said thoughtfully:
"He almost leaves many chores to me, and the number of times he contacts me is based on his needs."
"So, we don't often go to the Southern Restaurant to eat, so according to my opinion, there should be no need for him to invite other people."
"Because the expense spent on me is already not a small amount. He has to ask other people to handle things that I can handle. Isn't this a waste of money?"
"No matter how rich you are, you can't afford this kind of trouble, right?"
Zhao Qiang's words immediately spoke to Gu Chen's heart.
Indeed, there was absolutely no need for Zou Yuhua to spend this wasted money.
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't respond for a long time, he seemed to be thinking about something? So Zhao Qiang continued:
"Because Zou Yuhua paid me a pretty good salary, so I don't have to go to work every day and spend most of my time in some entertainment venues."
"I feel like the money is so profitable. I can just help him handle a few things a month, and I can also get a lot of public relations fees."
With a faint sigh, Zhao Qiang looked at the Gu Chen team in front of him and said helplessly:
"But I don't know why? Why did I meet you guys?"
"It's easy to see from the fact that you arrested me and came to the police station. This Zou Yuhua is probably in big trouble, but you just didn't notify me."
"Is there no notice? Or are you unwilling to say it yourself?" No matter how Zhao Qiang defended himself, Lu Weiwei always believed that this guy had reservations.
Zhao Qiang laughed twice and responded: "Comrade policewoman, although I have dealt with a lot of trouble for Zou Yuhua, I have not done anything too excessive."
"As I said before, I'm just a verbal threat to help him deal with the troublemakers in the demolition households."
"Because I know that these are the weaknesses of their group. Even if they don't agree, I won't really touch their children and elderly people."
"At most, I'll just scare these people. After all, I still have the bottom line that a human being should have."
"However, for some troubles, fights are necessary, but we are not good at each other, so don't pretend to be good people."
"I never use verbal warnings when problems can be solved through fighting. This method works particularly well for me."
After hearing what Zhao Qiang said, Gu Chen also glanced at Yuan Shasha who was taking notes.
Seeing that Yuan Shasha had recorded everything completely, Gu Chen then said again: "Have you really never touched Hu Zhe?"
"No, I don't know Hu Zhe at all." Faced with another question from Gu Chen, Zhao Qiang still insisted on his previous statement.
"Okay." Feeling that Zhao Qiang's tough attitude didn't seem like he was just pretending, Gu Chen asked again:
"Then how much do you know about Zou Yuhua's logistics park vegetable market, Area E5, Warehouse No. 001 and Warehouse No. 002?"
"Well……"
Seeing that Gu Chen was turning too fast, Zhao Qiang was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly asked, "Comrade police, you are asking about the situation in the vegetable market. This... I am not very clear about it."
"After all, the food market in Zou Yuhua Logistics Park is not under my control. I don't know the situation there at all."
"Can it be said that you have helped Zou Yuhua handle so many shady things, but none of them were about the vegetable market?" Lu Weiwei also continued to ask.
But Zhao Qiang's answer is still the same: "Comrade police, I will naturally say what needs to be said, but I can't admit anything that has wronged me."
"Wet market? A small place like that is Zou Yuhua's own business and has a corresponding management team."
"Isn't this place the main battlefield for his business war? What he has to deal with are those who set obstacles for him. A small vegetable market really doesn't need people like me."
It felt like after asking for a long time, I just learned a more comprehensive Zou Yuhua from Zhao Qiang's mouth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Chen felt a little unwilling, but from an objective aspect, he knew that Zhao Qiang did not seem to be a participant in this incident.
In other words, the things Zou Yuhua asked Zhao Qiang to do were all shady, but not particularly excessive.
As for Hu Zhe's renting of a warehouse and his eventual disappearance, it seems to involve Zou Yuhua's top secret.
And this kind of secret cannot be known to outsiders. After all, once this kind of thing is known to outsiders, you may not be able to control it at all.
As the saying goes, even if Zhao Qiang is a bastard, he still has a glorious side of humanity.
Unsure of which day? Suddenly, I got nervous and felt that committing murder and arson was against my conscience. Then my mind got hot and I chose to call the police.
Then Zou Yuhua will suffer a big loss.
Therefore, Zou Yuhua is very cautious about who he can trust and who he can let others do such confidential matters.
At least from Gu Chen's point of view, Zhao Qiang is not the first choice.
And that Zhang Quan seems to be the most suitable candidate.
But Zhang Quan is also a social person after all, and he seems to have the same experience as Zhao Qiang.
Both of them are basically unemployed and living in society.
Zhao Qiang can fight, and Zhang Quan is also a bill collector, so he is naturally a very good character.
Gu Chen felt that perhaps because Zhao Qiang had his own principles in some aspects, Zou Yuhua did not trust Zhao Qiang a little bit when it came to killing Hu Zhe.
And Zhang Quan seems to be another optimal solution.
Zhang Quan and Gu Chen have also investigated and found that he can be considered a good debt collector and often uses violent methods against those who fail to repay their debts.
Even threats to life can be said to be used to collect debts, and various means can be used.
So, if you put Zhang Quan, the bill collector, and Zhao Qiang, a gangster who is very good at fighting, together.
So, obviously, it seems that Zhang Quan is more suitable to do some extreme dirty work.
That's why Zhang Quan secretly killed Hu Zhe under the command of the boss behind the scenes.
Then according to the plan that the boss behind the scenes had long thought of, Hu Zhe's body was secretly transported away.
Not only that, when Zhang Quan knew and participated in all this, the boss behind the scenes began to use Zhang Quan’s associates to eradicate Zhang Quan.
He just wants this secret to never be known to anyone, and Zhao Qiang is just one of the horses he abandoned, but Zhao Qiang may not know it yet.
