There were people coming and going in the corridor, and it was not a suitable place to talk. Inspector Chang brought Shopkeeper Tian into the office.
Shopkeeper Tian was not a hard-spoken person. He was questioned with a stern expression, and after hesitating for a few times, he gave up.
Indeed, after Liang Yuanque left that day, Shopkeeper Tian realized that he was a foreigner, but after thinking about it, he decided not to cause trouble for himself, so he had no intention of reporting it to the police.
After all, in today's world, one thing is worse than one thing less. To use Shopkeeper Tian's original words, even if he provides clues to the police station and catches the murderer, the police station may not reward him, and the Shen family will probably not come. Thank myself. In the end, I may still be offended. Wouldn't it be a big loss that outweighs the gain if it causes further discomfort?
But yesterday, he had an old friend invite him to go out for a drink. Originally, people in Liucheng were in panic during this period, and it was really not appropriate to go out. But shopkeeper Tian is an old wine man, and has let his wife control him for too long. He is really too greedy. Thinking about what could happen if there were a few friends here and it was still noon, I followed my friends to a small restaurant in Liucheng City to have a drink.
When shopkeeper Tian was drunk, he told his friends about the mysterious boy he met that night. Several friends were shocked and praised him for being brave enough to dare to be in the same room with such a person at night.
Shopkeeper Tian was already drunk. Being complimented by his friends made him feel vain. In order to show his courage, he half-truthfully described Liang Yuanque as even more weird and unpredictable.
It was just some drunken talk that contained bragging, but who would have thought that the partition wall had ears to listen to it. Shortly after Shopkeeper Tian's noodle shop opened for business this morning, someone came to him with silver dollars and asked him to report the previous incident to the police station.
Before, it was unprofitable and I didn’t want to get into trouble, but now that I have the silver dollars in front of me, it seems that I can do something. Shopkeeper Tian thought about it for a while and then agreed, so he accepted the silver dollars and went to work early in the morning. The store was closed and came to report the crime.
"Then do you know the person who gave you the silver dollar?" Liang Yuanque, who followed him in, asked shopkeeper Tian.
Shopkeeper Tian gave Inspector Chang a trembling look, and Inspector Chang nodded in agreement with Liang Yuanque's words, "I'll tell you the truth when I ask you."
Just a few moments ago, Detective Chang also understood that this was the gangster boy who had set up with Master Zhuang. Regardless of whether he was capable or not, Master Zhuang just believed him. Although he still felt uneasy, But he was a lot more polite on the surface.
Although some police detectives would be unconvinced if they believed serious police officers, and they would believe a child dressed up as a gangster, Detective Chang's greatest strength is that he can think clearly. What kind of shit is this Liucheng Police Department? It's not like he didn't figure it out clearly, and besides, someone took over the case, he would have a free time, and he would be less scolded by Master Shen, so why not?
Shopkeeper Tian thought for a while and said, "I feel like he is the secretary of the Du family, but I can't be sure. I haven't seen that person very often."
Du family? Liang Yuanque frowned slightly after hearing this, why was another Du family involved?
Looking at Liucheng, although there are more than one family named Du, the only one who can afford a secretary is the Du family.
Before coming to Liucheng, he had a rough understanding of the wealthy families here. Needless to say, the Shen family was the richest man in the lead, followed closely by the banker, who also had a big business. The Du family was another wealthy family, although not as good as the previous two. The family has accumulated wealth since the ancestors, but because Mr. Du has vision and ideas, he takes advantage of the new society to do business, and quickly develops in Liucheng. He also has business contacts in other places, and even has the potential to surpass the Shen family.
So Liang Yuanque made a guess about the mysterious gentleman Miss Lan mentioned in the flash of lightning.
Even if the social circle of such a rich young lady is wide, it will only be wide among people of the same class. The young men she can know are probably either rich or noble.
Hiss, is there an unmarried young master in the Du family?
Liang Yuanque's mind turned around and he said to Zhuang Youjie, "Master Zhuang, do you know the way to Du's house?"
The Zhuang family and the Du family also have intersections, but even if Zhuang Youjie has visited the Du family's door, he has only been there a few times with his father. If he had to find his own way, he would definitely not know which way the other person's door opens.
But thinking that for Liang Yuanque, Liucheng was considered his own territory. In order not to lose face, Zhuang Youjie thought hard and said, "Mr. Liang, there is a long way to go to Du's house. Can I ask you to take a rickshaw?"
Liang Yuan Que could guess what he was muttering in his mind just by looking at his expression, but he didn't reveal it, "Then let's go quickly and come back in the afternoon to check the files!"
"Hey, okay." Zhuang Youjie agreed happily, and the two of them pushed open the door of the detective's office and strode out, leaving Detective Chang in a daze.
Hey, no, what do you mean? My office is your backyard hut. You can come in when you want and leave when you want. Why don't you come back in the afternoon? How do you...
Detective Chang's breath was stagnant, and he persuaded himself in his mind, forget it, the Zhuang family has a big business, I will still hang out in Liucheng from now on, just bear it, I am the best at it!
As luck would have it, as soon as Liang Yuanque and the others walked out of the police station gate and were about to find two rickshaws, Zhuang Youjie spotted a figure from behind among the crowd on the street.
The young man was wearing a fashionable white dress jacket. After seeing them come out, he turned around and walked towards the car behind.
Zhuang Youjie greeted subconsciously, and Liang Yuanque quickly followed his gaze and asked, "What's going on?"
"That seems to be the young master of the Du family." Zhuang Youjie said thoughtfully.
While they were talking, the young man in a white coat seemed to have heard Zhuang Youjie's greeting, and even quickened his pace, almost trotting to the car as if running away, quickly opened the door, and then the car started.
Liang Yuanque looked at the stunned Zhuang Youjie and said, "Follow me!"
Before Zhuang Youjie could react, Liang Yuanque had already used his strength to chase after him. His running movements were very different from those Zhuang Youjie usually saw in school, but his speed was very fast. After running a distance, he got a blurry look. , seems to be floating on the road.
Zhuang Youjie was stunned when he saw it, thinking, could this be the legendary Qing Gong?
Zhuang Youjie didn't have that ability, so he jogged a few steps to the corner of the street and hailed a rickshaw. At this time, neither the Du family's car nor Liang Yuanque could be seen on the street. He thought quickly and asked the rickshaw The driver said, "Take a shortcut to Du's house!"
After all, the car is so big that even if it can run fast, it can only go around a relatively far road. Zhuang Youjie took a small road here, and even though he was pulled down a certain distance, when he arrived at the gate of Du's house, he was right next to Du The family car bumped into each other.
Zhuang Youjie hurriedly paid the driver, got out of the car and grabbed Du Yuanwang, the young master of the Du family who had just stepped out of the car.
Du Yuanwang looked very nervous when he saw it was Zhuang Youjie, but he was still a figure in the scene after all, so he calmed down and said to him, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Zhuang?"
Zhuang Youjie didn't know what to say for a moment. It was Liang Yuanque who said he wanted to come to Du's house, and he also said he wanted to pursue Master Du. Now that he hasn't arrived yet, Zhuang Youjie doesn't know what to say.
"Just, just," Zhuang Youjie stuttered a few times, remembering what Shopkeeper Tian said, "I'm just here to ask you, why did you send your secretary to have Shopkeeper Tian report the case?"
Du Yuanwang was shocked. When he saw Zhuang Youjie coming out of the police station, he was afraid that he had already found out.
"I, I don't know what you are talking about!" Du Yuanwang raised his eyebrows and shook Zhuang Youjie's hand away hard.
"Hey, you..."
While the two were fighting, Liang Yuanque jumped down from the roof of the house next door and trotted over.
Du Yuanwang looked at Liang Yuanque's appearance with some confusion, and smiled sarcastically at Zhuang Youjie, "Do you, an old young master like you, take your maid with you when you go out?"
"No..." Zhuang Youjie was about to explain something subconsciously, but Liang Yuanque spoke before him.
"Master Du, we came here to ask you whether the person who met Miss Lan at 2:00 am was you?"
