In the morning, around eight o'clock, Longcheng, Tianhong Port, Zhannan District.
Wei Xiangzuo sat on the sofa at home, sleepy, and lowered his head to pour tea.
"Zuotang, did you come back yesterday?" A man sitting opposite asked a little stiffly.
"Ah!" Wei Xiangzuo yawned, picked up the teacup and greeted: "Drink tea."
Next to him, a leader took the initiative to push the teacup to the man and whispered: "Say what you said to me again to Zuotang."
"Well, there's nothing to say about this." The man scratched his head and narrated softly: "Since Mr. Gu got into trouble, I have been called to the police station four times, all of which asked me about the car."
"Are the two cars used by the gangsters yours?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.
"Yes, those two vehicles were water trucks I collected, and they had no paperwork." The man immediately explained: "The purchase price was very cheap, and I asked someone to collect them again. I was originally going to sell them to a small company working in the port. As long as they don't leave the port, there is basically no problem, and no one here will stop them."
"Then what happened?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.
"Then the car was lost." The man frowned and said: "It disappeared in the alley behind my sister-in-law's restaurant."
"When was it lost?" Wei Xiangzuo asked, holding a teacup.
The man recalled: "It should be the day before Mr. Gu's accident."
Wei Xiangzuo thought about it in his mind: "You didn't report it?"
"How can I report a water truck?" The man smiled and replied: "I do this, and I still have more than a dozen in my warehouse. It will be troublesome if it is reported to the authorities, and there is not much money."
"Did you find it privately?" Wei Xiangzuo asked again.
"I looked for it, but couldn't find it." The man shook his head: "Everyone in the port is familiar, and they usually won't touch my things. When I lost it, I thought it was a kid from some district who came to steal it."
"Are you sure it was lost the day before Mr. Gu's accident?" Wei Xiangzuo asked again.
"Yes, my sister-in-law called me that day." The man nodded.
"Has the car been moved before it was lost?" Wei Xiangzuo looked at the other party.
"Except for using it twice to transport goods to my sister-in-law's restaurant, it has basically not been moved." The man paused and replied: "It has always been parked there. You know, this car is easy to sell and may be driven away at any time."
"Okay, I know." Wei Xiangzuo nodded: "Thank you, Lao Lu!"
"What are you talking about? It should be done." The man replied with a smile.
"Then you go back first." He stood up and greeted the man.
"Okay." The man stood up, bowed and looked at Wei Xiangzuo and said, "Then I'll leave first, sit in the hall!"
"Okay." Wei Xiangzuo replied politely.
The man was sent away, and Wei Xiangzuo sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
After a while, Batou came back after sending people away and said to Wei Xiangzuo, "Brother, what he said is different from what the other side said? The Yu family said that the car appeared in Tianhong Port six days ago, which is true, but the time when the car was lost was the day before Mr. Gu had an accident. This does not mean that the gunman arrived a week ago?!"
Wei Xiangzuo drank a sip of tea, frowned and replied, "The car has not moved much, and it may have been targeted a long time ago."
"Why do I feel that you trust the kid surnamed Su very much?" Batou said with a smile.
"Why should I believe him?!" Wei Xiangzuo waved his hand and replied: "After Mr. Gu passed away, has the Ma Gang been peaceful these days?"
He thought for a while: "It is indeed not peaceful. In the two days we were away, Lao Xu has been contacting people, and there is a meeting tonight."
"I don't believe the boy surnamed Su, but I don't want to be a gun for others." Wei Xiangzuo stood up: "Let's go to the port and wait for Xiaofeng to come back."
"What did he do?"
"I want to know when these gunmen entered Longcheng." Wei Xiangzuo replied expressionlessly.
...
Su family.
Su Tianyu sat in the room and was working on the materials for the meeting.
From application, approval, filing, to official recognition, social groups in Longcheng need to submit materials to the Longcheng Public Affairs Bureau for processing.
The Longcheng Public Affairs Bureau has a high administrative level, but it does not have subordinate service units. All service units only need to go to the Longkou District Office to draw lots and queue up, and the approval process is very cumbersome.
In order to avoid the situation of "one thing taking three years to handle", Su Tianyu could only call Wang Daolin and ask him to introduce him to a friend in the People's Office, so that he could go through the back door and quickly approve the procedures.
In the morning, Su Tianyu filled out the most important types of information at home according to the application form of the People's Office, and called Kong Zhenghui to meet the relationship introduced by Wang Daolin.
Before leaving, the third sister found Su Tianyu: "Brother, are you busy?"
"Just finished, what's the matter?" Su Tianyu smiled and stood up.
The third sister blinked, walked to Su Tianyu, and whispered: "I told Tianbei about Daxiong, and he said he would go to see it, but why didn't he hear anything in the end?"
Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment: "Ah, he took people to the air-raid shelter, but didn't find any clues."
"No?" The third sister asked.
"No." Su Tianyu shook his head.
"Alas." The third sister sighed: "Daxiong's life... is really hard."
"Originally I wanted to find him and find a way to arrange for him to leave, but I can't find him either, so there's really nothing we can do." Su Tianyu replied softly: "However, there have been a lot of things happening in Longcheng recently, and the police station is very busy. The police force has been dispersed, and there are fewer people watching Daxiong. I guess this kid may have run away by himself."
"I hope he ran away." The third sister nodded slowly.
Su Tianyu glanced at her: "You care about him a lot."
"... Actually, apart from my family, I don't have many friends in the company." The third sister said a little emotionally: "The workers at the sanitation entrance are all big men. Apart from work, I don't have any personal relationships. Only Daxiong and I are close. He is diligent and helps me with work in the company."
"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded.
"...Well, OK, you go ahead!" The third sister raised her hair: "I'm going to the company."
"Okay, I'll go out for a while." Su Tianyu smiled and nodded, patted the third sister's arm and said: "If Daxiong knew that you were thinking about him, he would probably be very happy."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just thinking about him as a friend." The third sister rolled her eyes.
After the two finished their communication, Su Tianyu took the information and left to find Kong Zhenghui and Dabai.
Before getting on the car, Su Tianyu sent a text message to Tianbei.
...
One o'clock in the afternoon.
In a teahouse in Tianhong Port, Wei Xiangzuo sat under a parasol and asked, "How is the investigation going?"
"I sent out fifty or sixty people to inquire around and got some information." A Lu Xing sat on a chair and whispered, "About a week ago, there were indeed a few unfamiliar faces entering the port. They had no acquaintances to lead the way and stayed at the Xishuiting Foot Massage City on the first day."
Wei Xiangzuo paused and asked, "Can this match the gunman?"
"Normally, it doesn't match, but after Mr. Gu passed away, these people never appeared again." Lu Xing replied.
