"Ah zhe?" in the face of Gu Chen's question, the dirty braided girl Tongtong looked a little surprised.
After lowering his head and meditating for two seconds, Tong Tong Dai frowned and directly asked Gu Chen, "I said, elder brother of the police, who isn't ah Zhe in my family? Where is he going? Do you need to report to me?"
"Besides, I haven't seen him since he was injured."
"Yes." a man who skated to Gu Chen stopped a few centimeters away from Gu Chen.
Take a step and pop the skateboard into your hand.
"Brother policeman, we haven't seen ah zhe for a long time. Besides, he doesn't contact us much at ordinary times."
"OK." seeing that some of these people didn't answer their questions, Gu Chen said again: "before, there was a skateboarder among you. Later, you went to the University City to do business and sell clothes. Do you know this person?"
"Selling clothes?"
When people get together, they also look at each other. It seems that they don't understand each other.
Instead, a small man raised his hand and said, "police brother, is that Hu Junjie? He has been tossing the clothing business. The last time I met him, it seems that he said he was doing business at the other end of the university city half a month ago."
"Really?" seeing someone clear, it's a little easier to do.
Gu Chen took the initiative to walk up to the little man and asked, "this Hu Junjie, are you familiar with him?"
"Er, I don't know him very well, but he plays skateboarding for a long time, but he seldom stays with us now. He only comes occasionally in a month."
"As for ah Zhe, it seems that they met when Hu Junjie came that day. It seems that their relationship is OK."
"So it is? Do you have the contact information of Hu Junjie?" after hearing the little man's words, Lu Weiwei directly took out the note paper and wanted to record the relevant information of Hu Junjie.
The little man shook his head: "Hu Junjie is used to being alone, but I really don't know the contact information."
Seeing Lu Weiwei lost his face, the little man turned and said, "but don't worry, I know his uncle is opening a shop, which is the best breakfast shop in the old street of the East District."
"If you find his uncle, you may be able to find Hu Junjie. If you find Hu Junjie, you may be able to find ah Zhe."
The voice fell, and the little man himself felt a little too windy.
But the information of these people can only be learned here.
Lu Weiwei patted the little man on the shoulder and said in praise: "well done, can you tell me now what the name of the breakfast shop in the old street of the east district is?"
"Affordable breakfast should be called this, the one next door to roast duck."
"Well, thank you for your cooperation." after learning this information, Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen around her and said, "junior brother Gu, what's up? Why don't you go and have a look now?"
This is the way to find people. We have to constantly find relevant personnel and find relevant clues.
The worst thing is to run back and forth. You may not be able to find someone.
After all, people won't sit there waiting for you to find it.
So finding someone is usually a manual job.
After taking a mouthful of milk tea, Gu Chen threw the empty cup into the trash can and said, "let's go and go to the old street in the East District."
……
……
Driving the car without stopping, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei rushed to the old street in the East District.
The old street in the east district is the top stream in the prosperous business district in the whole Jiangnan City.
Why top flow?
Near the old street in the East District, most of them are high-grade commercial residential areas, surrounded by schools and hospitals.
The old street in the eastern district is located in the center of the region.
In addition, the buildings of Jiangnan Water Town style have been well preserved. The whole area has been a top flow business district since ancient times.
The definition of the best business breakfast shop mentioned by the little man can indirectly explain that the affordable breakfast shop is probably a very profitable store.
Moreover, if you want to be famous in the old street business district of the East District, you have no time for precipitation and excellent workmanship. It is difficult to be famous in a food store in the old street of the East District.
After parking the car, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to the door of the "affordable breakfast shop".
"It should be here." Lu Weiwei pointed to one side of the roast duck shop and said, "the person who just entered said that it was next to the roast duck shop. It's just the sign of this' affordable breakfast shop '. I feel it's really out of grade. Doesn't this shop know how to be a better looking and eye-catching one?"
"Maybe people just sell word-of-mouth?" Gu Chen looked down at his watch and said, "let's go and have a look."
"OK." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and followed Gu Chen closely.
If everyone hadn't come here to handle the case, Lu Weiwei almost thought she was dating Gu Chen.
When they came to the door, a couple were selling barbecue there.
The business in the shop is very good. People shout from time to time.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other face to face, and they walked forward directly.
"Are you Hu Junjie's uncle?" Gu Chen said.
The middle-aged man was stunned, smiled and shook his head: "I'm not. You may be talking about the boss who sells breakfast?"
"Isn't this a 'affordable breakfast shop'?" in order to make sure she didn't make a mistake, Lu Weiwei even stepped back and looked again.
Then he glanced at the roast duck restaurant next door.
At this time, another middle-aged woman smiled and said, "we're here for affordable barbecue, not affordable breakfast. We only buy supper barbecue. The person you're looking for may come after 12 p.m."
"No, wait a minute." Lu Weiwei was confused by the two people, raised her hand, and then asked, "aren't you the same store for affordable barbecue and affordable breakfast? Are you two groups of people?"
"You guessed right." a saleswoman who was busy barbecue directly explained with a smile: "the rent here is so expensive, so several families rent together, and the landlord rented it directly to three families."
"No, there's another one?" Lu Weiwei almost collapsed when she heard the saleswoman's words.
The barbecue shop owner pointed to another sign and said, "see? There's another affordable hotel. We don't stop people here anyway. This store rotates 24 hours."
"We are only responsible for selling barbecue here from night to early morning. After that, the couple will come here to sell breakfast the next morning, and then there is a couple. They are responsible for running restaurants here at noon and at night."
"Won't there be any conflict between you and opening a restaurant?" Gu Chen said.
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled: "there is no conflict. Anyway, after 8:30, the store will sell us barbecue, and we will do some business in the evening."
"Three groups of people?" Lu Weiwei shook her head when she heard the words of several people. "You guys really do business and don't waste any time."
"There's no way." the middle-aged woman who did the barbecue directly put the handcuffs into the tray and handed them to her husband to the customers. She continued to put the new barbecue on the grill and read in pieces:
"Now the rent of the prosperous commercial block in Jiangnan is so high, you can only say that if you cooperate outside, the mutual pressure will be less."
"Moreover, there is an inch of land and an inch of money here. Our businesses do not conflict. We just want to rent this store together and operate flexibly."
"Well, it's somewhat similar to those stores in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. They are basically open 24 hours, otherwise they won't get the rent back."
Gu Chen nodded silently and admired the hard work of these workers.
But I came here this time to find Hu Junjie's uncle. I thought that if people were not in the store, I had to save time.
So I asked the barbecue shop owner for uncle Hu Junjie's mobile phone and dialed it directly.
A moment later, a sleepy male voice suddenly sounded.
"Who?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhang, the owner of Shihui breakfast shop? I'm from the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch." Gu Chen directly reported to himself.
As soon as the other party heard that Gu Chen was a policeman, his attitude was much milder, and he hurriedly asked, "Comrade policeman, what can I do for you?"
"That's right." Gu Chen didn't want to beat around the Bush, so he said bluntly, "we are looking for a man who ran away from home, and this man once said that he would do clothing business with your nephew."
"So according to his uncle's entrustment, we want to ask Hu Junjie if he has seen the person we're looking for."
"Is that so?" after hearing Gu Chen's speech, boss Zhang of the breakfast shop said bluntly with hesitation:
"Comrade police, to tell you the truth, my nephew has been unable to get through the phone these days. It seems that he has changed his phone number."
"However, he often comes to my store late at night and leaves after eating. After all, it's hard to hear that he does business outside."
"If you want to find him, it may be after 12 o'clock."
"So late?" hearing the time, Gu Chen felt a little troublesome.
The man at the other end of the phone took the initiative to explain: "well, I won't start to the store until 12 a.m."
"Then start preparing the ingredients for tomorrow morning. You may have to be busy until early morning."
"I don't know when Hu Junjie will come. Anyway, after the early morning of the previous few days, until the early morning of the next day, I'm lucky to be early, but I'm not sure about the time."
"So troublesome?" Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and hesitated: "don't you have other contact information of Hu Junjie?"
"I'm sorry, No." at the other end of the phone, the middle-aged man still replied positively.
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei and said, "senior sister Lu, Hu Junjie may come to the store in the evening, but the time may be after the early morning and between the early morning of the next day."
"If we want to find him, we can only wait in the store. What do you think?"
"Don't you have to wait all night?" Lu Weiwei was dumbfounded when she heard this.
I feel this time is too unfriendly.
But I think I came here this time to help Zhao Feng find his nephew ah Zhe.
But now, the emergence time of the key figure Hu Junjie is also mysterious.
Thinking of these, Lu Weiwei felt it difficult to make a choice, so she had to throw the problem to Gu Chen and said, "if you think it's necessary, just wait here and have some barbecue."
"OK." seeing that Lu Weiwei had no big opinion, Gu Chen directly picked up the phone and replied again: "isn't your store rotating 24 hours? We'll wait for you in the store."
"All right, comrade police, we may arrive at the store around 1 a.m. you can go to the store and have a rest."
"OK."
After a brief communication with the middle-aged man, Gu Chen hung up and took a deep breath.
Hearing Gu Chen on the phone just now, it seems that he has to wait until the early morning in the store.
The middle-aged woman who made the barbecue said with a smile, "why don't you go into the store and have a barbecue?"
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei and said, "elder martial sister Lu, you can order whatever you want."
"Uh huh, I want this, this, this, and this. Give me some..."
Feeling like staying here all night, Lu Weiwei decided not to treat her stomach badly.
After ordering a pair of barbecues, they also walked into the store, found a spare seat and sat down.
……
……
As time went by, Lu Weiwei had eaten the barbecue three times and lay down at the table for a moment.
The clock hanging on the wall has passed the early morning, and the barbecue shop owner's family still stay in the shop to wear barbecue.
Lu Weiwei asked curiously, "can't you get off work? Are you still working here?"
"Some ingredients should be strung in advance, otherwise it will be too late when they open tomorrow," a clerk said with a smile.
Lu Weiwei rubbed her eyes, looked at Gu Chen sitting opposite, closed her eyes and looked at the situation in the store.
At this moment, the store also sent away the last batch of customers.
The boss, the couple, and the saleswoman are preparing tomorrow's ingredients.
Some sleepy Lu Weiwei also yawned and said, "do you usually have to work so late?"
"Not at all." the landlady put the ingredients into a small basin and replied with a smile: "I usually leave early. I live more today. I may be busy until two o'clock in the morning."
"So?" Lu Weiwei was a little distressed. Looking at the boss bringing the ingredients from the other end, she was also curious and asked: "will you not have a conflict in time if you connect like this?"
"No." the owner of the barbecue shop sat next to the saleswoman and helped string them. He also said casually: "the two couples who will make breakfast will come soon. Now we can no longer use the kitchen. Just string these ingredients in advance."
"So, on the whole, it doesn't affect their work. The three waves of us have cooperated quite tacitly."
"Yes, there were four waves of people before. At that time, the time was a little tight. Later, the landlord didn't think it was appropriate, so he advised one family to leave. Now our three families are in a hurry, and the connection won't be very abrupt."
"It's the first time I know that one store can be rented to three families."
Gu Chen opened his eyes and seemed to have had enough rest.
The landlady smiled and said, "it's not to reduce the burden. Seriously, the whole store on the old street in the East District of Jiangnan City can't afford to rent."
"Moreover, when we open a shop, in fact, a lot of time is wasted. It's better to do it together. In this way, everyone has less pressure and can maximize the role of this store."
"The working people are really smart." Lu Weiwei also sincerely admires what the landlady said.
I used to only know the prosperity of the catering industry in the business district, but I didn't know the hardships of the workers behind it.
Today, I was waiting here all night. I felt that I could get in close contact with these ordinary catering workers for the first time. I felt that this trip was worth it.
Chatting with the barbecue shop owner, the couple and the clerk, Lu Weiwei soon forgot the time.
Just when the clock pointed to 1 a.m., a beam of light outside directly shone over.
A white BMW SUV is stopping steadily in the middle of the road.
At ordinary times, parking is not allowed in the old streets of the Eastern District, but it is 1 a.m. now, there are not many pedestrians. Therefore, many merchants will take advantage of this time difference to drive the car to the door of the store for unloading and other operations.
Looking at the white BMW SUV at the door, the barbecue shop owner glanced at his chin and reminded him, "the people you want to wait for are coming. They are the owners of affordable breakfast shop."
"Really?" hearing the words of the barbecue shop owner, Gu Chen directly stood up and walked towards the door.
At this moment, a middle-aged couple are moving all kinds of ingredients from the car to the store.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei stood on one side and paid silent attention.
The middle-aged man holding the ingredients into the store glanced at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and asked as he walked: "are you the policeman who called me tonight?"
"Yes, we are from Furong Branch," Gu Chen said.
After unloading, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "my nephew doesn't know when he will come. Anyway, it's just this time in the evening. He will come to my store to eat, so... I'm really sorry. I would have asked him for his new number if I knew."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't disturb your work." Lu Weiwei doesn't care.
After all, Lu Weiwei didn't care about another small steamed bun when she was full of barbecue just now.
Watching the couple put on their work clothes and began to work in the kitchen.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei just stood at the door and paid silent attention.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Lu Weiwei also asked, "what time do you get up every night?"
"About 30 am." the busy middle-aged man began to pour beans into the bucket.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently and asked, "how old is big brother this year? Is your accent a foreigner?"
"Well, our husband and wife are both outsiders, and I'm 49 years old this year." put the bucket to one side, and the middle-aged man took a deep breath. He joked with Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: "they're all old bones."
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him, and then asked the man curiously, "when I called before, my brother seemed to be sleeping. What time do you usually go to bed? What time do you get up?"
"Well, go to bed at 8 o'clock every night and get up around the morning."
"Isn't that just four hours of sleep?" Lu Weiwei was surprised to drop her chin.
The middle-aged woman on one side smiled and said, "this is what we do in our business. In order to have a fresh and sufficient breakfast from 5 o'clock every morning, we have to arrange our work and rest time like this."
"OK." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, looking at the middle-aged woman's face there, thinking that it won't be long before she can have another big meal?
When will Hu Junjie come to the store? It seems to have become less important.
