Xu Wen quietly listened to Jia Mingming's description of the entire process of transporting the Prado. He still had many unanswered questions in his mind. He first asked for Jia Mingming's mobile phone and recorded the phone number and conversation between the Prado owner and Jia Mingming.
time, and then asked Jia Mingming:
"Didn't you see anyone else around when you were loading and unloading the truck?"
Jia Mingming shook his head and looked at his wife Xiaojuan. Xiaojuan also shook her head expressionlessly and said:
"No, it was pitch dark when I was unloading the truck and I couldn't see anything. It was already dawn when I was loading the truck, but the area was surrounded by collapsed houses and I couldn't see a single person."
Xu Wen nodded. Their answers did not surprise him. Since the owner of the Prado designed such a seamless vehicle transfer plan, how could he expose himself? He organized his thoughts and continued to ask:
"Have you ever driven that car and noticed the specific model of that Prado?"
"That's a 2018 VX-NAYI with a 3.5L displacement and automatic transmission." Jia Mingming answered without thinking.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Of course, I have been paying attention to Toyota's Prado for many years and know every car they have produced in the past ten years. There is a rear-mounted spare tire on the butt of that car, and it has the letters VX. VX stands for top
Configuration, TX stands for low configuration. In the past ten years, Prado has only produced two cars with rear-mounted spare tires, one is the VX version in 2018, and the other is the TX version in 2018. So I recognized it at a glance
That is a 2018 VX. Unfortunately, Prado has been discontinued in China."
"Haha, it seems you know a lot about cars."
"Of course, I've loved cars since I was a child, otherwise I wouldn't be able to be a driver." Jia Mingming scratched his head and said.
"Are there any features of the interior of that car? For example, the color of the seats, interior trim, etc."
Jia Mingming thought for a while and said:
"The seats are leather and black. The interior is gray. It looks very high-end."
"Any other characteristics?"
"Oh, by the way. There are Buddhist beads hanging on the rearview mirror and gear handle of that car."
"What kind of beads?"
"It's just that kind of yellow Buddhist beads. I don't understand that thing, and I can't figure out what it looks like."
"Is there anything else that's different?"
"Well, it should be gone. I didn't pay much attention to what was going on in the car at the time."
Hanging Buddhist beads on the rearview mirror and gear handle is an important clue. Generally speaking, people who hang Buddhist beads on the rearview mirror and gear handle may not necessarily believe in Buddhism, but this person must like Buddhist beads. And
This person should not be too young, because only slightly older people will like these Buddhist beads. Another possibility is that this person must have done a lot of bad things when he was young and could not find peace of mind, so he wanted to
The Buddhist saying of laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately is used to comfort oneself. And most of these people are social elders with a certain economic foundation.
After saying goodbye to Jia Mingming and his wife, Xu Wen did not return to Zhongjiang, but followed the navigation to the Hongda Auto Repair Factory, where the Prado was unloaded.
On the way to the auto repair shop, there was a question that always lingered in Xu Wen's mind. Why did the Prado need to be transported more than 500 kilometers to Gui'an City? If you just want to move the car, you can find a closer place.
To unload the truck, why did it have to be transported to Gui'an? Is it to divert attention? To eliminate the suspicion of the truck driver Jia Mingming? Or...
At this time, a thought suddenly flashed in Xu Wen's mind: Could it be that this car was originally from Gui'an City? This can explain why it must be transported to Gui'an. This Prado was first driven from Gui'an to Zhongjiang City
He committed the crime and then transported it back in a box truck. The fake license plate he hung in Zhongjiang City at the time was from Zhongjiang. If the police in Zhongjiang couldn't discover the transport in a box truck, they would never have thought that the Prado that committed the crime was
Cars in Gui'an City.
What a complicated crime process! What a complicated design! Coupled with the confusing blasting landslide, the person behind this case must not be an ordinary person. It seems that this time he encountered a strong opponent.
.
The time when Xu Wen came to Hongda Automobile Factory was about the same time that Jia Mingming unloaded the car that day. The auto repair shop was a large yard on the roadside. From the outside, it looked like there were two factories inside. The yard was dark, and it didn't look like there was anyone on duty.
Look.
On the left side of the auto repair shop is the cement platform used by Jia Mingming to unload cars. The platform is very simple to repair, just a layer of cement is applied on the surface, and the inside should be made of bricks. From the looks of it, this platform should be used for auto repair.
The factory was built to unload accident vehicles transported by automobile. From the platform to the left, there is a large field.
There were several bungalows on the right side of the auto repair shop, with signs for restaurants and canteens hanging on them. Xu Wen walked over and took a look, and it didn't look like anyone was living inside.
Across the road from the auto repair shop is a large field without any buildings. Further along the Third Ring Road from the auto repair shop, you can vaguely see lights in the distance. The distance between those lights and the auto repair shop is at least one kilometer.
.
Xu Wen drove around the neighborhood and found that there were no cameras at all on this road called the Third Ring Road. The nearest traffic light was five kilometers away from the auto repair shop, and there were many forked roads within the five kilometers.
Standing in front of the Hongda Auto Repair Factory, Xu Wen thought, why would you choose such a place to unload the car? To avoid the cameras? Or for other reasons? How did the owner of the Prado know that there is a cement platform here to unload the car? He must be right.
I am relatively familiar with the surrounding roads and environment. Who is the person who can understand all this? Is it someone who has connections with Hongda Auto Repair Factory? Has a car been repaired here? Knows someone from the auto repair shop? A friend.
Open an auto repair shop? Or simply the owner of the Prado is the employee or boss of the auto repair shop?
It seems that these problems will not be solved until tomorrow. When the Hongda Auto Repair Shop starts work tomorrow, I will come over to see if there are any clues at this auto repair shop.
Although he had made up his mind to come to the auto repair shop tomorrow, Xu Wen did not waste time in the evening. He took advantage of Hassan's leisure time after dinner to get in touch with him.
Feijian: Help me check how many Prado off-road vehicles are registered in Gui'an City, Jiangbei Province. The specific model is the 2018 VX-NAYI with a 3.5L displacement and automatic transmission, and the body color is white.
Black Eagle: No problem, why did you start checking cars in Gui’an City again?
Xu Wen didn’t want to hide it from Hassan, so he said:
Feijian: Based on the clues you provided, I traced that the Prado was transported to Gui'an City.
Black Hawk: Got it, this will take some time.
Flying Arrow: Please.
Blackhawk: You're welcome.
After leaving Hongda Auto Repair Factory, Xu Wen drove to a small town five kilometers away. In this town called Da'an, he found a small hotel called "Ruyi" and stayed.
