Chapter 127 A preliminary visit to Hongda Auto Repair Factory
The feeling of coming to Hongda Auto Repair Shop during the day is very different from that at night. When Xu Wen arrived here last night, he didn't feel how empty the area around the auto repair shop was. But at this time, because the sight was better,
Because of this, Xu Wen saw that except for the three doors of the auto repair shop, there were no homes or houses within a distance of about one kilometer in front, back, left, and right of the auto repair shop. Hongda Auto Repair Shop was like a lonely tomb.
Standing in the wilderness.
The door of the auto repair shop was closed. Xu Wen parked the car in front of the door, got out of the car and walked into a canteen next to the door. He saw an old man in his fifties standing behind the counter, holding a pair of his small eyes.
Staring at himself, Xu Wen frowned slightly, feeling that this little old man had a bad vision. So he added an extra layer of caution and asked:
"Uncle, is this auto repair shop closed?"
"Are you here to repair your car? Or are you here to discuss business?" The little old man's voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard in Xu Wen's ears. This feeling made Xu Wen feel that something was wrong.
"Repair the car, uncle, it's time for maintenance on the car and replace the three cores." Xu Wen found a random reason.
"Oh, if you want to change to three cores, please wait a moment and I'll open the door for you." After the little old man finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the back door of the canteen, which should be the yard leading to the auto repair shop.
Xu Wen waited for the little old man to go out of the back door, and he followed him to the back door, opened the door a crack, and looked into the courtyard. He saw the little old man walking to the door of a factory building and calling out a young man covered in oil.
After saying a few words to him, the young man ran to the door of another factory, closed the door of that factory, and locked it with a copper lock. The little old man watched the young man lock the door, and then turned around.
Turn around and walk towards the door.
The door was opened, and the little old man waved to Xu Wen to drive in, and pointed to a smaller factory with an open door.
The greasy young man who went to close the door just now received Xu Wen. After asking Xu Wen's purpose, he stretched out his hand and gestured and said:
"Replace three cores and add engine oil, the total cost is 750 yuan."
Xu Wen didn't know the price of these car maintenance. In order to have a few more words with the maintenance worker, he asked:
"It's too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"
"You can get cheaper ones if you want, but I can't guarantee the quality." The young man was very easy-going.
"Then your price of 750 can guarantee the quality?"
"There is absolutely no problem with this. Shell's engine oil and high-quality filter elements are definitely licensed."
"Okay then, 750 will be 750."
"Okay, just drive the car over the ditch."
Xu Wen drove the car to the ditch that the maintenance man said. The young man immediately got into the ditch, took a basin and started to put the original oil in the car.
Xu Wen glanced at the factory. It was not big, with only three ditches for car repairs and two car lifts. There were no other workers working in the workshop.
While the maintenance workers were busy, Xu Wen came to the door of the factory and looked outside. He saw that the area of the factory locked by the maintenance workers was twice as large as this one, and it was in the middle of the two factories, facing the direction of the door.
, there is also a small two-story building. It seems to be the office of the auto repair shop.
Xu Wen lit a cigarette and strolled to the yard. The yard of the auto repair shop was very large. It was not as dirty as other auto repair shops and filled with cars waiting for repairs. The yard was cleaned very clean.
Several cars were parked in front of the office building.
Thinking of the maintenance worker locking the door of the workshop just now, Xu Wen decided to go over and have a look. Is there something shady inside? In order to cover up others' eyes, Xu Wen did not go directly to the factory building, but went straight to the office building. Before going
While walking through the office building, Xu Wen kept feeling that there were eyes watching him from behind.
The office building is not big, with eight rooms on top and bottom. There are two white and black signs hanging at the door, one is Gui'an Hongda Auto Repair Factory, and the other is what Jiang Xin said is Gui'an Overbearing Car Club.
After Xu Wen entered the door, a young man immediately came out to greet him and asked:
"Brother, who are you looking for?"
"If you don't look for anyone, the car repairman, go to the bathroom."
"Oh, please go to the left. It will be on the right at the end."
"Thanks."
When Xu Wen was walking to the bathroom, he saw an office with a finance room hanging at the door and an office hanging at the door. The doors of both offices were open and there was no one inside.
When Xu Wen came out of the bathroom, he saw that the young man who greeted him was still waiting in the corridor. He looked like he might be afraid that he would come out of the bathroom and wander around. Xu Wen gave up the plan of going to the second floor to have a look anyway.
It's coming again, don't be in a hurry.
After waving to the young man, Xu Wen walked out of the office building door. He began to observe the locked factory. There was no window at the bottom of the factory wall, and all the windows were more than 5 meters above the ground. Why?
Opening the window like this? Are you afraid of being seen?
Xu Wen glanced at the direction of the back door of the canteen and felt that the eyes were still staring at him. Just stare, what can I do if I take a look. After Xu Wen made up his mind, he took out his mobile phone and lowered his head.
While looking at his cell phone, he walked towards the closed door of the factory. When he was more than ten steps away from the door, Xu Wen heard the sound of metal being knocked in the workshop. He continued to walk forward, trying to reach the door and use the crack in the door.
He glanced inside. But when Xu Wen was still five or six steps away from the door, a loud shout suddenly sounded from behind Xu Wen.
"stop!"
Xu Wen knew that this was the little old man coming out of the canteen, so he ignored the sound and continued walking forward. The seemingly dry old man suddenly ran two steps in front of Xu Wen.
"I called you, but I didn't hear you."
"Oh, what's wrong?" Xu Wen asked pretending to be confused.
"There is no car repair shop here, go to the place where you have your car repaired." The little old man glared at Xu Wen and said.
Xu Wen knew that he could not persist any longer, as that might affect his afternoon events, so he smiled and said:
"Oh, I just looked at my phone and took the wrong route."
From then on, the little old man at the canteen never left Xu Wen's side. He followed Xu Wen to the place where the engine oil was changed, and stood at the door of the workshop smoking a cigarette, never letting Xu Wen leave his sight for a moment.
What was going on in that factory? The windows were so high, why weren't they allowed to see? How did the sound of metal being struck inside be made? These questions have been lingering in Xu Wen's mind.
After changing the engine oil and three cores, Xu Wen just drove out of Hongda Auto Repair Shop when he received the information sent to him by Hassan on his mobile phone. He parked the car on the side of the road, opened the information and read it.
Unexpectedly, there are such a large number of Prados. There are 3,000 Prados in the small city of Gui'an, of which nearly 2,000 are white. Among these 2,000 white Prados, there are 137 that match the vehicle models provided by Xu Wen.
Damn! This is too much, right? How can I check so many cars with my own strength? It seems that I can only place my hope on the overbearing car club in the afternoon. Xu Wen sighed and thought.
