When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Gu Chen naturally understands this truth. From the old lady's words, it is not difficult to find that Zhuang Hu has become abnormal in the past two months.
As for his assistant, He Wenjun would know about this matter. At this time, He Wenjun was recuperating in the village. Gu Chen felt that he should ask him?
So Gu Chen asked the old lady again: "By the way, one of our group was Zhuang Hu's assistant, named He Wenjun. You should know him, right?"
"That guy?" the old lady asked.
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "He has always been Zhuang Hu's assistant, and he is the successor that Zhuang Hu deliberately cultivated."
"Usually in the company, I am always with Zhuang Hu and is inseparable."
"And if anything happens, Zhuang Hu will hand it over to He Wenjun. It can be said that He Wenjun is Zhuang Hu's right-hand man."
"Every time Zhuang Hu comes here to accompany a client, he will come with him. Did you know this?"
"Yeah, I know." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the old lady nodded in agreement, and then said:
"But this person doesn't seem to be always with Zhuang Hu. For example, when Zhuang Hu came here once, he didn't bring him with him, but other customers."
"Then do you think there is anything wrong with him? I mean, what happened to him and the canyon?" Lu Weiwei also asked tentatively.
The old lady hesitated and seemed to have difficulty judging.
Turning to look at Lu Weiwei, the old lady added: "Actually, I feel that he has always been quite good, smart and capable, but when it comes to the canyon, Zhuang Hu prefers to leave him alone."
"In other words, instead of taking him with you, I will leave more of the company's affairs to him."
Sighing softly, the old lady added: "You also know that as a boss, if you can leave the company's busy affairs to young people, he won't be able to handle it himself."
"The boss likes to enjoy life, and Zhuang Hu is like that, but what do you want to call this young man?"
"He Wenjun." Lu Weiwei quickly added.
"Oh, yes, the one named He Wenjun is that kind of professional manager."
"You even know about professional managers?" Lu Weiwei heard that the old lady knew a lot of things, and she immediately looked at the old lady with admiration.
The old lady smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Don't think that because I stay in the village, I don't know how to study?"
"However, I also heard what they said, and they often talked about it. In the past, we old men and women liked to speculate on the relationship between Zhuang Hu and this He Wenjun."
"At first, we discussed that this might be his son or son-in-law, but later we found out that it was not."
"But Zhuang Hu was very kind to him. Anyone with a discerning eye could see this. Later, when Zhuang Hu was shopping at my house, I asked him about it."
"Then he told me that this person was a professional manager he hired and also his assistant, so I knew it."
"So that's it?" After hearing what the old lady said, Lu Weiwei nodded silently and asked the old lady:
"Then do you know other things about the village? For example, who are the more suspicious people?"
"Ah?" Lu Weiwei's question seemed too abrupt, and the old lady was stunned for a moment.
So Lu Weiwei immediately added: "The main thing is, the man in black committed too many things over the canyon, but he is very familiar with the terrain."
"Think about it, most people won't go to that canyon, so how can they stay in the canyon and live all the time?"
"There is only one situation, and that is that this person may be from the village, or has close contact with the villagers. Otherwise, how will he get food and drink?"
Lu Weiwei also got straight to the point, which was originally something that everyone suspected.
But this question made the old lady a little confused, as if she didn't know how to answer Lu Weiwei's question.
"Old lady, who in the village do you think is most likely to be related to the man in black in the canyon?" Gu Chen also asked in a different way.
The old lady was stunned, and then said slowly: "If you want to suspect someone, there is one, but let me explain in advance, I am just suspicious, I just feel that he is the most likely, but I didn't say it was him, so don't be confused.
think."
"You might as well tell me." Gu Chen stretched out his hand and said.
The old lady nodded slightly and said slowly: "There is a man named Liu Ge. He is not from our village, but he suddenly came to live in the village half a year ago."
"Sojourn? You mean, he just lives here?" Upon hearing this, Lu Weiwei immediately became alert.
The old lady also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Six months ago, he suddenly came to our village. He said that the feng shui here was good and the environment was very good. He wanted to rent an apartment here and live an idyllic life."
"Because you also know that the young people in our village have gone to develop in cities outside, so many of the old houses in the village are vacant here."
"Some of the walls are even covered with weeds, and the yards are also overgrown with weeds."
"So when Liu Ge said he wanted to rent a house here, of course we didn't mind, so we helped him contact the owner of a vacant house."
"As for that family, they moved away from here early and went to other places to do business. When they heard that someone wanted to rent a house, of course they would be happy to do so, and they could even help take care of the house in their hometown."
After a pause, the old lady continued: "So, the landlord rented the house to this person named Liu Ge at a very low price."
"Then what does he usually do in the village?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Nothing, just live like us." the old lady said.
"Is that all?" Lu Weiwei felt unconvinced.
But the old lady grinned: "Of course, they come here to live and live, so of course they can't live a boring life like us."
"So, people renovated their yards and planted some flowers and plants."
"You just need to go around the village. The house with the most flowers and plants in the yard and the cleanest one will be where he lives."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Liu Ge." Gu Chen remembered the name and said slowly: "Then does he usually go out? For example, to the canyon?"
"I go occasionally. Most of the time I spend walking around the village. Sometimes I ride a motorcycle to the city to buy things."
After a pause, the old lady seemed to think of something. Then she added: "If you see an older and retro motorcycle on the roadside at the entrance of the village, it belongs to him."
"He usually rides this motorcycle down the mountain, and from what he said, he used to ride a motorcycle to many places."
"I'm tired now and want to live in the village for a while. Anyway, he has seen the big world, so chatting with us villagers is just... just..."
After thinking about it, she couldn't seem to think of how to describe it, so the old lady looked at Gu Chen.
"Dimensionality reduction strike?" Gu Chen also answered casually based on the old lady's wishes.
The old lady also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, yes, it's a dimensionality reduction attack."
"Anyway, I just feel that this person is quite capable and should have achieved financial freedom."
"Many old men in the village envy him. They like to listen to his bragging at the entrance of the village when they have nothing to do."
"Now that the weather is cold, he doesn't like to go out anymore, so he stays at home."
After a pause, the old lady scratched her cheek and continued thinking: "So you ask me, who is most likely to establish contact with the people in the canyon? I feel that, excluding these old men in our village, it is him."
"Of course, I'm just saying that he will be relatively close to the answer you want, but it may not necessarily be him."
"Okay, thank you, but now I want to know where he lives and which way to go?"
"You go out from the back door of my house, turn right, then turn left, keep walking, and you will see many plants and flowers in the yard. That is where he lives."
"Thank you." After hearing the old lady's words, Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei also understood and immediately said goodbye to the old lady, then walked out of the back door with Gu Chen.
Relying on the illumination of the solar street lights on the roadside, the two of them kept walking forward, and finally saw a house with a very neat courtyard.
And there is a warm-colored light on in the room.
Lu Weiwei touched Gu Chen's shoulder and reminded her: "With such art, this should be Liu Ge's residence. Let's go in and take a look?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, walked to the yard and observed it.
Seeing that there was no one around, I looked at the gate of the courtyard. It seemed that it was not locked, but hung with an iron lock.
After Gu Chen opened it easily, he took Lu Weiwei into the courtyard.
At this time, Gu Chen discovered that there were many plants in this yard, but they were well taken care of and looked very refreshing.
Especially the warm-toned lighting in the room makes the atmosphere suddenly stand out.
Gu Chen walked to the door, knocked on the door, and asked, "Is anyone home?"
After a while, Gu Chen heard a movement in the house, so Gu Chen continued to knock on the door: "Is anyone home?"
Not long after, Gu Chen heard footsteps coming from the house. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but when they approached the door, they stopped again.
But not long after, the pace sounded again.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei subconsciously took a step back.
Then, the door opened.
A middle-aged man who looked more artistic was standing at the door, observing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and asked:
"You're looking for me?"
"Are you Liu Ge?" Gu Chen asked.
"That's right, I'm Liu Ge." The middle-aged man named Liu Ge said unhurriedly.
So Lu Weiwei immediately said: "Can we talk?"
"Of course." Liu Ge nodded silently, and then walked into the house on time.
When he walked into the living room, he pressed the switch at the door.
Soon, several more lights came on in the room, all with warm colors.
Gu Chen was also very curious and asked, "Are you the only one who lives here?"
"Yes." Liu Ge replied calmly while lying on his sofa.
Gu Chen asked again: "We came to the village before, why didn't we see you?"
"Maybe I went out shopping? I often ride a motorcycle down the mountain. When you came here last time, did you see a relatively retro motorcycle?" Liu Ge asked.
"No." Gu Chen shook his head, thinking that when everyone came here before, they had indeed never seen Liu Ge.
And he had never seen the retro motorcycle he was talking about. This seemed to be sending a message to himself, Liu Ge went out on a motorcycle.
So Gu Chen asked Liu Ge again: "Why do you think of coming here to live alone?"
"Maybe it's because the scenery is so beautiful." Liu Ge still tapped Erlang's legs, picked up his phone and started playing a game, and also said slowly:
"I never stayed in one place for a long time before, because it would be boring if I stayed there for a long time, so I usually changed places once a month."
"That was eight months ago. When I was riding a motorcycle in a canyon, a landslide suddenly occurred and killed a motorcycle rider who was riding with me."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Ge also sighed helplessly: "So I had no choice. At that time, when a tragedy happened in front of me, I was thinking about it."
"Am I really used to motorcycle travel? If I'm used to it, I can continue to do it. If I don't like it, I can find a place to settle down and stop running around."
"Then what?" Gu Chen listened carefully to Liu Ge's words.
"Then?" Liu Ge snorted and said slowly: "Then I don't know what I really think in my heart, and I can't make up my mind."
"So I found a coin and told myself that if it was a word, I would continue to travel on motorcycles. If it was a pattern, then I would find a place with a good environment to settle down and live for a while."
"So you flipped a coin and got the pattern?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"No, you are half right." Liu Ge replied calmly.
Lu Weiwei was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
"It means that I did decide by tossing a coin. I often did this before, but that time, I got the word."
"Thrown the word? Aren't you going to continue the motorcycle tour?" After hearing this, Lu Weiwei also looked confused.
But Liu Ge said with a smile: "At that moment, I suddenly felt that I didn't like motorcycle travel that much anymore."
"Maybe when I want to make a decision, I have my own answer in my heart. I just want to find an excuse so that I can accept this reason."
"So I chose to toss a coin, but the result of tossing the coin was contrary to my inner thoughts."
"But when I saw the smashed body in front of me, I suddenly became hesitant again. I began to tell myself that I actually didn't like motorcycle tours that much."
"Okay, I feel like you are more free-spirited." Listening to Liu Ge's story, Lu Weiwei felt that Liu Ge had quite a lot of ideas in his mind.
Liu Ge also smiled and explained: "There is another reason why I decided to settle here, that is, there are mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery here, but few people know about it."
"Do you know what this means to a person like me? It means that I have found a great secret place."
