The next day, it suddenly rained heavily in Longcheng, which had been sunny for nearly half a month.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Xiangzuo returned alone from Fukuoka District and entered Tianhong Port, preparing to find a place to eat.
Normally, Wei Xiangzuo is always with people around him. No matter where he goes, there are several brothers following him, but today he is unusual. He drove away alone in the morning.
Back in Gangnei, Wei Xiangzuo's cell phone rang before he went to the place to eat. He glanced at the number and pressed the answer button: "Hello!"
"Brother, there is an urgent matter, where are you?"
"I'm in Gangnei, what's wrong?"
"Come to Erdao Street," Xiaofeng whispered back: "Cheng Gang and I are waiting for you."
"What's the matter?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.
"The gunman's matter."
"Okay, I know." Wei Xiangzuo responded and immediately drove to Gangnei Erdao Street.
...
It was raining heavily, the road was slippery, and there were few pedestrians.
Wei Xiangzuo's car stopped in front of a snack shop on Erdao Street in Gangnei. A sturdy man in his thirties immediately ran out to greet him, holding the shop owner's umbrella.
Wei Xiangzuo got out of the car, crouched under the umbrella, and whispered, "Have you found out?"
"Yes, if you find any clues, we'll talk inside." The man nodded and replied. This man is Cheng Gang, a road agent of the Zhannan Wharf Gang, mainly responsible for bulk cargo.
The two trotted into the restaurant and came to a private room on the first floor. There were six or seven people in the room, all of whom were Wei Xiangzuo's brothers.
These people were Wei Xiangzuo's confidants. When he ran away, he was not doing well, but these brothers followed him all the time. They wandered outside together for several years and had a very deep relationship.
In the private room, Wei Xiangzuo wiped the water drops on his body, bent down and sat down, and asked: "What did you find out?!"
Cheng Gang poured a glass of water for Wei Xiangzuo, and replied with a smile: "Wait for Er Laogui to come and tell you."
"Yeah." Wei Xiangzuo nodded.
A group of people sat in the room drinking tea and eating dried fruits. After waiting for less than five minutes, a thief-looking man came in and bowed to Wei Xiangzuo and shouted: "Brother!"
"Hey, I'm here." Wei Xiangzuo smiled and nodded.
Xiaofeng looked at the other party, smoking a cigarette and said: "Tell the big brother about the matter."
The man pulled a chair, bent down and sat down, and immediately said: "It's like this, big brother. Isn't it a profit today? I went to the hall to pay the dividends and happened to meet Ertao. We played Texas Hold'em together before. I owed him some money, so I gave it to him by the way, and I also treated him to a meal at noon."
"Ah, then?" Wei Xiangzuo nodded.
"We both drank a lot. We drank more than a pound at noon." The man said a little bit naggingly: "We were drunk and talked about the murder of Mr. Gu... I said that the higher-ups seemed to have quarreled over this matter during the meeting in Longkou yesterday, and it was not necessarily done by the Yu family... But I didn't expect Er Tao to agree with me and say that it was not done by the Yu family, but by the Code Gang."
"He said it was not done by the Yu family?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.
"Yes, I was also curious at the time, so I asked him what was going on." The man nodded and replied, "Er Tao is a chatterbox. I asked him a few questions and he told me... Three days before Mr. Gu's accident, someone went to Yang Ming to take guns, long and short, two bags."
Wei Xiangzuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it the Yang Ming who was with Xu Er?"
"Yes, that's him. This Yang Ming also likes to play with money. Er Tao often plays Texas Hold'em with him." The man whispered back, "Er Tao said that they played until after two in the middle of the night that day. He didn't go home because it was too late and stayed in the No. 4 warehouse. Yang Ming was there at the time. Two people came in the middle and took away the guns in the warehouse. Er Tao also asked what he gave him. Yang Ming said that it was illegal drugs bought by others, but Er Tao saw it upstairs. Yang Ming took a gun."
Cheng Gang heard this and immediately asked, "Er Tao likes to brag when he drinks. Is his words reliable?"
"Haven't we asked about those gunmen before? So I asked what the people who came to get the guns looked like and what their physical characteristics were." The man lowered his voice and replied: "Er Tao told me that one of them had a short flat head and half of his left ear was missing."
Wei Xiangzuo was stunned when he heard this.
"When I heard this, this information matched what we found, so Er Tao and I called Xiao Feng after drinking." The man replied.
"If Er Tao saw that half ear, then this matter would really match." Xiao Feng glanced at Wei Xiangzuo: "Yang Ming is Xu Er's man, damn, this is interesting."
Wei Xiangzuo put down the teacup, waved his hand and said to Er Laogui: "Okay, I know, you have worked hard on this."
"Haha, it's okay." Er Laogui immediately stood up: "Then you guys talk, I'm leaving first."
"Go to Xiaofeng to get the red envelope later, don't tell anyone." Wei Xiangzuo said.
"Okay, thank you, big brother!" The two old ghosts turned and left.
Wei Xiangzuo turned his head and looked at Xiaofeng: "Have you checked?"
"I asked around, Yangming is now in the No. 4 warehouse." Xiaofeng naturally knew what the big brother meant, so he immediately replied.
Wei Xiangzuo looked down at his watch and whispered to Xiaofeng: "There are many people in the No. 4 warehouse. Find someone to keep an eye on Yangming and move him at night."
"Got it!" Xiaofeng replied.
...
The clues given by the two old ghosts were too obvious, so Wei Xiangzuo couldn't let it go.
Everyone got together and waited until after nine o'clock in the evening. Xiaofeng received a call from the henchman, who told him that Yangming had returned home.
After answering the phone, Wei Xiangzuo took six brothers, drove a commercial vehicle, and rushed to Bei'an Street on a rainy night.
The location of Bei'an Street is close to the port, close to the Tufang Street in Zhanan. The living environment is not very good, and it reveals congestion and poverty everywhere.
The car slowly entered Bei'an Street. Wei Xiangzuo sat at the rear of the car and closed his eyes to rest.
"Cover your face for a while!" Xiaofeng, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned back and reminded him, "After we catch Yangming, take him to the outer port to have a fight. If the gun was really given by him to the gunman, then we can basically lock on to Xu Hu; if not, we should not show our faces to avoid Xu Hu catching us."
"Haha, OK!" Cheng Gang nodded.
The car continued to drive forward, getting closer and closer to Yangming's residence.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the mobile phone in Wei Xiangzuo's trouser pocket vibrated several times. He slowly opened his eyes, took out the phone and scanned it.
It was a text message. After reading it, Wei Xiangzuo suddenly sat up straight and his eyes became much clearer.
Outside, the rain was pouring down. Wei Xiangzuo suddenly shouted with the phone in his hand: "Xiaoxuan, stop driving!"
"Ah?!" The driver turned around: "What's wrong, big brother?"
"Stop in an alley, I'll smoke a cigarette." Wei Xiangzuo regained his lazy expression and took out a cigarette box and ordered.
Although the driver didn't know what the big brother was going to do, he still did it, parked the car in an alley, turned off the lights, and turned off the engine.
"What's wrong, brother?" Xiaofeng also turned around and asked.
Wei Xiangzuo lit a cigarette and sat in the last row of seats in the van. In the extremely dark light, he glanced at the people in the car: "... Wait a minute, I'll send a few messages before leaving."
"Ah!" Xiaofeng nodded.
In the car, everyone was quiet, Wei Xiangzuo fiddled with the phone, his face calm.
...
District 1, Huadu.
Yu Jinrong was lying on the hospital bed, and he also sent a text message with his mobile phone, which read: "Gu Tongshan died, but the Code Gang is very calm. What do you think?"
The other party replied: "No hurry, wait and see."
