Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaofan didn't care about so much, and hurriedly got in the car. The two of them rushed to the place where Ren Xuefeng's car was found.
Their destination was located in the north of City A. Tang Li called back early in the morning to inform him that the car had been found. It was estimated that he should have arrived there first. Although Zhong Han had a strong sense of direction and a high level of road memory, he would be slower in places he had never been to. In addition, the morning rush hour had not yet passed, so they arrived at the destination about ten minutes slower than Gu Xiaofan had estimated.
Originally, Zhong Han was unable to find the correct entrance. He drove the car into another gate of the community called "Waterside Family" where the car was found. After entering, he found that the community was not small, with forty or fifty buildings in front and behind, and the arrangement of the buildings was not straight and vertical. The roads in the community were winding, which really took him a lot of effort. In the end, he had to resign himself to calling Tang Li to ask, and finally arrived at the place where Ren Xuefeng's car was found.
"It's really hard for me to find it," Zhong Han felt a little uncomfortable after getting off the car. After all, his sense of direction, which he was proud of, made him lose face in front of Gu Xiaofan today. He said to Tang Li who came forward in a joking manner, "It's really hard how you found the clues to find this car!"Tang Li smiled and patted his shoulder, which was considered as his compliment. He said nothing and motioned them to follow him.The silver-gray Volkswagen belonging to Ren Xuefeng was parked in an open space next to a building in this community. The original tar road in the open space was broken and mottled. Only Ren Xuefeng's car was parked there alone. There were also several people standing beside it. Three of them were wearing uniform uniforms and looked like security guards. There was also a man wearing a brown leather jacket, with his hands folded, looking at it curiously. In addition, there were several colleagues in police uniforms who were checking the inside and outside of the car."This is the person in charge of the property here. He provided the vehicle information before." Tang Li pointed to the man in the brown leather jacket. He introduced Zhong Han.The middle-aged man in leather jacket saw Tang Li's behavior and automatically determined that Zhong Han was a person who could make decisions. He quickly stepped forward and took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and handed it to him: "What's your name? Have a cigarette!"Zhong Han politely declined the other party's cigarette and briefly introduced himself and Gu Xiaofan who was following him.The middle-aged man also nodded and greeted Gu Xiaofan, and then asked impatiently: "Since the car is what you are looking for, can you get it away as soon as possible? This car has been parked here for a long time. I guess it may not start. You have to tow it away.""How did you find out that there was something wrong with this car?" Zhong Han did not respond to the towing immediately, but asked about what happened.The middle-aged man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. "Here's what happened. This Waterside Home Community was originally an abandoned community. The original property management company had a disagreement with the homeowners' committee, and the residents collectively stopped paying the property management fees. Finally, the property management company could not support itself and abandoned the community. It has been abandoned for several years. Our company just reached an agreement with this place a while ago and is ready to take over. However, this place has been abandoned for many years. It can't be said that it is in ruins, but it is almost in need of repair. The residents' cars are parked randomly without any planning, and foreign vehicles from outside are also in and out at will, like going through a city gate. So we decided to properly manage the vehicles entering and leaving the community, post notices, contact car owners, and do car Vehicle registration. Recently, we are going to move all the cars in the community. We will repair the damaged road surface and plan parking spaces. As a result, after the notice was posted, some car owners took the initiative to register, and some cars did not come to register. We put a sticker on each car one by one. The owner saw it and knew that they could not park here, or the residents came to register. As a result, the owner of this car could not be contacted. I heard from the people upstairs that the car had been parked here for at least two months and had not been moved. We had no choice but to call the police. Unexpectedly, the police said that the license plate was fake, and then this police officer came. "He said, pointing to Tang Li beside him."Fake license plate?" Zhong Han turned his head and looked at the car again. The license plate on it was indeed different from the car under Ren Xuefeng's name that they had found before, so he cast his eyes on Tang Li, "Are you sure it's Ren Xuefeng's car?"The reason for asking this was not that he didn't trust Tang Li's ability to do things, but mainly because they had found a set of surveillance footage located in the east of the city. The footage showed Ren Xuefeng walking by, and the distance from that location was not close to here. If there was any mistake in the middle, the impact would be great.Tang Li nodded with certainty: "The current license plate is forged, the original license plate is not in the car, and the owner's identity has been confirmed through the engine number. It is Ren Xuefeng.""I wonder if I can find out from the residents of the community who drove the car here?" Gu Xiaofan was also a little unsure and asked Zhong Han and Tang Li for their opinions."I don't think it's easy," said the person in charge of the property company. "If it was so easy to find out, we would have found out when we couldn't find the car owner. There was no one in charge of the entrances and exits of this community before. There were a lot of people and cars. After the previous property company gave up management, the surveillance and other things were broken and couldn't be used at all. If you plan to do this, you will really create problems for yourself.""The surveillance equipment in the community is broken and stopped working. What about the ones outside? If there are road surveillance around this community, or surveillance cameras in other units or communities can see the situation at this entrance and exit, they may be able to help." Zhong Han thought of another way.The person in charge of the property company shook his head again: "You are not familiar with this area, right? Do you know why this community is called Waterside Family?"Zhong Han shook his head. Not only him, but also Gu Xiaofan and Tang Li, who have lived in City A for many years longer than Zhong Han, were also confused about the answer to this question.The person in charge of the property company guessed that they couldn't answer, and didn't mean to keep them in suspense. He pointed in the direction opposite them: "There is a big puddle over there. I don't know how it was formed. Anyway, it's a big puddle. There is water in it all year round. I don't know whether it should be considered a small lake or a stinking ditch. Most of the residents in this community were relocated from other places. The developer thought it was not cost-effective to give them houses in the original place, so they moved them here. The rest are floating households who rent houses. This area has only become popular in the past two years. Needless to say, there is a road on the other side of the puddle. You have to drive out of a crossroads and then go forward another intersection to get to the main street with surveillance. You want to find surveillance cameras nearby, but it's not easy to find. Even if you finally find one, it's estimated that you are unlikely to be able to use it because of the distance."Zhong Han responded with a smile, which was considered to respect the other party's suggestion. However, since it was certain that it was Ren Xuefeng's car, he could only treat it as a dead horse and try any possible way.Leaving the car to others to continue checking, he took Gu Xiaofan and Tang Li to look for surveillance cameras nearby that might provide help. However, after a long circle, the three of them could be said to have found nothing. The surrounding area was really like what the property manager said, because it was not prosperous enough and there were only small roads. There were no surveillance cameras until the main road a few intersections away. There were few shops around the community, and it became impossible to use the surveillance equipment installed by the shops to see if it was possible to take pictures of the entrance and exit of the community.Since this road was blocked, the only remaining method was to visit the residents nearby, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The car was parked in the community. Maybe some of the residents around here really saw something. After all, many times, a small detail that others might not pay attention to may be of great significance to the investigators.There are fifty buildings in Shuibian. Even if you don't need to visit every door, you still need to visit at least the four or five buildings around the parking lot and the seven or eight buildings on both sides of the road leading to the parking lot. This large and boring task diluted the joy and excitement of finding Ren Xuefeng's car early in the morning.Several people spent a whole morning walking through several buildings around the parking lot. Except for the residents who didn't answer the door because they were at work or out, the residents who could find people generally had an impression of the car, but no one could say anything about the owner.Among them, an old man in his seventies told Gu Xiaofan and Zhong Han a story."About a month ago, one day our grandson came to visit. The child is only one or two years old this year, at the age of being naughty and playful. When he was playing downstairs, he used the house key to scratch the car from the back to the front, leaving a long strip. This scared me and my wife. There were other people downstairs at the time. If they told the owner of the car, they would smash our door to settle the score. So we thought we should take the initiative in this matter, so we put a note on the car, explaining the reason and leaving a phone number. As a result, until it rained a few times and the note was soaked by the rain, no one came to look for us." He told Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan, "We later thought that this might be a stolen car that was put here to hide from the public!"
