Once inside the Hardware Store, Zha Tu pulled down the roller shutter door, sat on the boss's chair, and pointed at the surveillance at the corner, seemingly warning us not to act recklessly. Then, he opened his mouth and said: "The death of Boss Deng really has nothing to do with you guys?"

First Uncle: "No, we also regret Deng Meng's death. Although Nanshan had a conflict with him, it's just that young people are more impulsive when it comes to drinking wine. We don't have any deep grudges against Deng Meng, nor are we going to put him to death."

Zha Tu looked at his first uncle and asked his first uncle's identity. The first uncle took out the police ID that he did not know if it was fake, and said: "You can just call me Police Officer Wang, although we have already concluded that Deng Meng died in an accident, but after our investigation, Deng Meng seemed to have related some other matters. So I want to ask you, Zha Tu, are you an Inner Mongolia person?"

Zha Tu nodded his head and said: "Police Officer Wang, I am from Inner Mongolia. I have not come here for many years."

"How many years?"

"It's been eight years. I came in 2009."

The first uncle nodded and took out a notebook to write down the information. He asked Zha Tu why he left Inner Mongolia to come to our city, but Zha Tu replied evasively: "Over at my hometown, it's not easy to earn money, I heard from some people that we have developed very quickly and have many opportunities, so we came here to work, and then we met the Boss Deng. At that time, the business of the Boss Deng was still not very good.

There's nothing wrong with what Zha Tu said. Although our city is barely a second-tier city in recent years, but with the modern industry, trade and logistics industries, many discerning bosses have been earning a lot in recent years.

For relationships like Deng Meng and Zha Tu, Deng Meng had started from scratch. Zha Tu was a capable man, it was also normal for Deng Meng to give his Hardware Store to Zha Tu, he didn't need to worry too much about it. He would only need to collect a fixed sum of money every year, and based on the position and scale of the Hongyuan Five Gold, the amount of money was definitely not less than seven digits.

First Uncle asked again, "Zha Tu, to be honest, are you really here because you can't earn any money from your hometown? This shop is not small in size. For an outsider like you to be able to make this shop sound and sound, it means that you are very smart. A smart person like you will be able to earn money wherever you go. "

This is true, the business people only rely on their brains to survive. Deng Meng handing over the Primordial Metal to Zha Tu meant that Zha Tu was good at this area, our city is still very far from the Inner Mongolia.

Zha Tu looked at his first uncle, and said softly: "Police Officer Wang, let me tell you the truth, in 2009, I was fighting with someone at my hometown, and knocked him over the head with a brick. At that time I was scared, and ran away, and came to our city and met Boss Deng, and worked with him for more than a year before he dared to call my family, only then did I find out that the person I beat up was fine, it's just that his scalp was broken, and he just needed to sew a few needles."

Zha Tu lit up a cigarette and continued: That brat is lucky that he did not call the police. I had originally wanted to go back, but at that time, Boss Deng's business was on the rise, I had followed him for over a year and we have become familiar with many things.

First Uncle recorded a few more sentences, asking Zha Tu what kind of work he had done in the past. Zha Tu scratched his head and said: "I used to be at my hometown.

Lending money to others was equivalent to lending usury, and it was also very popular today. Many people would take advantage of the law to make a living by giving usury money. As long as they had a good relationship with each other, the loan money would be packaged with a legal shell, so there wouldn't be any problems.

"I will not pursue your past anymore, let's talk about the matter of you discovering Deng Meng's corpse."

Zha Tu gratefully nodded his head and gave his first uncle some smoke, then he said, "Police Officer Wang, I already said this before. After Boss Deng fought with this brother that day, his scalp was cut open, and Huanxi and I wanted to bring our boss to stitch.

When I got back to the store, I was a little worried. After all, the boss had already drunk, so I called him to ask if his wounds were ready, but the boss didn't answer the phone, so I went to his house and knocked. No one answered the door, so I used my spare key to open the door and saw him lying on the floor with his head smashed in.

His first uncle suddenly asked, "You have Deng Meng's spare key?"

Zha Tu and I have a good relationship with the owner. Although the Boss Deng is our boss, he doesn't put on airs at all and treats us as brothers. and I will each take the spare key.

"Oh, that's right. Let me ask you again, when you and Deng Meng were divorced in 2009?"

"He's been divorced for a month or two, but the boss never mentions his ex-wife."

"Then do you know how Deng Meng's son, Deng Rulin, died? Has Lao Deng ever mentioned his son to you? "

Zha Tu said with his eyes wide open: "Police Officer Wang, you said that Boss Deng has a son? And his son was dead? Boss Deng is not that old … "

Zha Tu had followed Deng Meng around for eight years and had his family's spare key, but he didn't even know that Deng Meng's son had mysteriously died, which was very unreasonable.

First uncle: "Yes, Deng Meng's son, named Deng Rulin, passed away in 2009. Do you know what the name of Deng Meng's ex-wife is?"

Zha Tu rubbed his hands together, "How would I know? Boss Deng has never talked about his ex-wife, I've also heard his partner mention it before, Boss Deng treats me pretty well, since he doesn't want to talk about it, how can I gossip about other people's family's matters."

Something was not right, Deng Meng and Miss Yu were married in 2004. In 2005, Deng Rulin was born, and in 2009, Deng Rulin died mysteriously. In the same year, Zha Tu worked with Deng Meng, but Zha Tu did not know that Deng Meng had a son, nor did he know the identity of Deng Meng's ex-wife, Miss Yu.

First Uncle also noticed the abnormality and frowned as he thought about it. Tang Shituo said, "Zha Tu, in these past eight years, have you and Deng Meng spent a lot of time together? What I mean is, how much time do you have with Deng Meng every day? "

Zha Tu thought for a moment, then said: "In the past few years, Huanxi and I were inseparable from the Boss Deng, and we basically did everything together. Later on, the boss opened up another Hardware Store, which was the Hong Hai and Wu Jin at the west gate. From then on, the boss gave the shop to Huanxi and me to manage separately.

"But basically, the three of us will eat together every night, and the three of us will take turns to treat. Everyone will chat and drink …"

Tang Shituo asked again: Are you married?

Zha Tu scratched his head and said, "No."

Previously, according to the information provided by Tang Shituo, Zha Tu was 32 years old and had already run this shop for a few years.

First Uncle continued to record, and didn't even raise his head to ask, "Where's Huanxi? Let's talk about this person again. What is Huanxi's real name, when did he follow Deng Meng, and where did he come from? "

Zha Tu shook his head and said: "I too do not know Huanxi's real name. He was also a Boss Deng who followed behind in 2009, and was probably a month later than me, from the moment I met him, I have always called him Huanxi, and the boss called him that too. As for where he is from, I have asked him before, he said that he is from the Jianghu, and he never said it properly."

How is it possible that my good friend for eight years doesn't know the real name of the other party, and even doesn't know the identity of the other party? I felt that Zha Tu was lying, and asked: "You have known each other for eight years, how is it possible that you do not know anything? Haven't you seen his ID? Hon Hai Hardware has no legal representative's name on his business license? You didn't go out together? You've paid him for the phone call, haven't you? "

Zha Tu shook his head and sighed: "This Huanxi brat, is different from me. Boss Deng doesn't know much about him either.

Seeing our expressions of doubt, Zha Tu continued to speak: "For the past eight years, Huanxi has never left our city, the representative of the legal person for the Hong Hai Hardware is Boss Deng, we will go out and drink and have fun together, no matter how late, Huanxi will never sleep outside. He used to live at Boss Deng's house, and later on he always stayed at the Hardware Store.

When Zha Tu said this, I then understood that Tang Shituo's identity was special, and even the Public Security did not manage to find out anything about him.

In the past eight years, Huanxi didn't even use his cell phone or buy a house if he didn't live in a hotel. His life is completely different from ours, as if there is a huge gap between him and society.

Zha Tu continued to speak, "I have known Huanxi for eight years, and as long as you can think of places that require an ID, he has never gone there. As long as you can think of anything that requires an ID, he has never done so.

This Huanxi is a scumbag?

I asked again: "Have we checked Huanxi's temporary residence permit for the registered police here?"

Zha Tu shook his head: "In the past, his management was not strict. Later on, when the Boss Deng was rich and powerful, they all made preparations and no one made things difficult for Huanxi, and Huanxi also never caused trouble. In fact, in the past eight years, he had never gotten sick before, at least I have never seen him sick."

In this current society, they would always leave behind their own identity information, such as a bank card, driver's license, etc. However, Huanxi could hide his true identity for eight years. In other words, this brat never used his bank card nor revealed his true identity.

First Uncle asked again, "Do you know anything about Huanxi, such as a birthday? Can't he have a birthday? He doesn't use his cell phone. Have you ever seen him use his landline to contact someone? "

Zha Tu: "I don't know about birthdays, but it's common to have a call with him. After all, he's a businessman and often calls customers, but he never gets too close with anyone, including me. He never revealed his real identity, and after eight years of being together, I haven't found any evidence that could prove Huanxi's identity."

Tang Shituo, "Huanxi's whereabouts are unknown, a person without any status, where can I find him …?"
