Even though Cao Weidong was determined and determined, he couldn't help but get excited.
"What clue?"
Yang Tiancheng said.
"A while ago, Hu Jie hired a group of outsiders as helpers to repair gas stations. Do you know about this?"
Cao Weidong nodded.
Yang Tiancheng continued.
"This group of people are just fooling around, and they are not good people at first glance."
"Although I don't know the specific situation, based on what happened later, I am sure that among the people who smashed your gas station, there must be these people."
After he said this, Gao Feiguang suddenly said.
"Oh, I remembered. Hu Jie took these people to our gas station for maintenance, but these people just pretended and left. It only took half an hour."
Yang Tiancheng nodded.
"Yes, that's what I'm talking about."
Cao Weidong looked at Yang Tiancheng with some curiosity, waiting for him to reveal his final answer.
Yang Tiancheng said.
"Although the people Hu Jie found were said to be outsiders, I saw a local among them."
Cao Weidong sat up straight in an instant and said excitedly:
"Locals? You mean there are people you know inside?"
Why did the police search work reach a deadlock?
It’s because those people from other places have gone home to celebrate the New Year.
In this era of poor traffic and information congestion, catching a murderer across provinces, even across a county, is a very troublesome matter.
But if the people Hu Jie found were from this city, the situation would be different.
Maybe this is the breakthrough.
Yang Tiancheng nodded and asked:
"Director Cao, you should know about the ghost market."
"Ghost market?"
Cao Weidong was a little puzzled. He didn't know why Yang Tiancheng suddenly mentioned the ghost market, but he still nodded.
"Yes, I know about the ghost market."
When he was still in Sijiu City, he visited the ghost market many times to buy daily necessities.
Later, when he was filing a petition in Jincheng, the provincial capital, Cao Weidong accidentally entered a ghost market and accidentally found a peerless treasure.
Therefore, he is quite familiar with the term ghost market.
Yang Tiancheng blushed a little, but still said.
"Actually, our city also has a ghost market, and its address is in the Nanhuai Street area."
"I saw an acquaintance among the 'outsiders' Hu Jie found. He was a stall owner in the ghost market. I did business with him."
Gao Feiguang said sternly with an expression that showed he hated iron.
"How can you go to a place like a ghost market? Don't you know what the old people call them?"
"Old people say that it's the Xiaotou Market, and it's full of fake and shoddy products, or the stall owner swindled them from somewhere."'
"As my good comrade and comrade-in-arms, how could you go to that kind of place?"
Yang Tiancheng's face turned red.
"I'm different from you. I have to take care of everyone here, old and young. In the past few years, the family was really in trouble. All the food stamps in my hand were all used up. My family couldn't bear the hunger, so I went
Find some food at the ghost market..."
Gao Feiguang sighed.
Life was not good for everyone in the past few years.
He once saw people starve to death on the road.
The scene was so tragic that he still doesn't want to think about it.
Cao Weidong stopped the topic and spoke concisely and concisely.
"The past is past, Comrade Yang Tiancheng, please tell me the address of the ghost market and the details of the stall owner."
Yang Tiancheng was stunned.
"Director Cao, what do you want?"
Cao Weidong said with a smile.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. I plan to go to the ghost market to explore..."
......
It's night.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
A thick dark cloud playfully swam over and hung just under the moon, blocking the only remaining light source between heaven and earth.
This makes it almost impossible to see the road at two o'clock in the morning.
Suddenly a bright orange light lit up.
Like a bolt of lightning piercing the darkness, illuminating a small area ahead.
Xu Aiguo breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death. Fortunately, director, you have a flashlight."
Cao Weidong looked sideways at Xu Aiguo.
"Are you actually afraid of the dark?"
Xu Aiguo smiled.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just a little guilty..."
Cao Weidong sighed and said.
"In this case, you don't have to come with me. I have no problem myself."
"How can that be done? I asked someone to find out. Nanhuai Street used to be a vegetable field with staggered tombs. I heard that there was also a huge locust tree."
Speaking of this, Xu Aiguo's teeth chattered and his voice trembled a little.
But he still tried hard to make himself look less scared.
"Old people say that the locust tree is a shade tree and is good at hiding dirt and attracting evil spirits. This place is the most evil place, so I have to accompany you."
Cao Weidong said in his heart that we call each other comrades.
The torrent of red steel sweeps away all dissatisfaction.
What does it mean to be just evil and weird?
Besides, I don’t know who got the information you mentioned. It sounds like someone else made it up.
Cao Weidong feels that it is more convenient to move alone.
But I couldn’t resist Xu Aiguo’s enthusiasm.
In the end, I could only bring this oil bottle with me.
Following Yang Tiancheng's description, the two went around and around and finally entered the ghost market in Tongquan City.
Unlike the ghost market in the provincial capital, the scale of this ghost market is obviously smaller, and you can almost see it all at a glance.
Most of the items sold by these stall owners are clothes and daily necessities. At first glance, they look like someone else’s old clothes. Although they are shabby, they are still clean.
Occasionally, there are some stalls with some food in front of them. These are rare occurrences, and there are always many people surrounding the stalls.
It can be seen that among the four carriages of food, clothing, housing and transportation, in this era, food is still at the forefront.
However, it was precisely because of this "scarcity" that Cao Weidong saw his today's goal at a glance.
Thief eyebrow.
Rat Eye.
Mediterranean.
His bald head shimmered under the light, making him easily identifiable.
Cao Weidong said hello to Xu Aiguo, and the two of them walked straight over.
They squatted in front of the stall and pretended to look at it for a while, and then asked casually:
"Boss, how do you sell this grain?"
When Mediterranean saw the business coming to his door, his eyes lit up and he said in a hoarse voice.
"My grains are all newly harvested, and the quality is good. At least this amount is required."
He held out four fingers.
Cao Weidong frowned and raised two fingers.
"What's going on? Everyone else is doing this, why are you so expensive? Forget it, I won't buy it."
"Hey, guest, come back and we can have a chat."
Mediterranean stepped across the stall, grabbed Cao Weidong, and said with a smile on his face.
"I don't want food stamps here, so the price is higher. If you sincerely want it, I can make it cheaper."
Cao Weidong's purpose was not to buy food, he just wanted to lure the other party out, so he pretended to be hesitant and asked.
"How much cheaper can you get?"
The Mediterranean extends three fingers.
Cao Weidong clapped his arm.
"Deal, I want fifty pounds, but I have to inspect the goods in advance."
