Ai He saw Luo Hongcang asking him about Liu Zhiwen, and lowered his head and thought for a while: " I have known Liu Zhiwen for a long time, he usually likes to play with money, and he often puffs a small gambling game or something, always asks me to go to the show, and my relationship with him is really good, occasionally out of money, he will also lend me a 35000, never urge to go back, over the years, I owe him almost more than 40,000 yuan, about a month ago, Liu Zhiwen told me that his store turnover could not be opened, let me pay back, but I even struggled to eat at that time, how can I have the money to pay him back. ”

"Getting to the point. I frowned and interrupted Ai.

Ai He shrunk his neck: " At that time, when Liu Zhiwen asked me for money, I did not have money, but he usually took care of me, since he asked for money, then I was embarrassed to drag, so I gave him a few thousand yuan on my body, and then asked him to give me a few more days to raise money, but I went out to borrow a circle, only to make up less than 3,000, at this time Liu Zhiwen called me again, saying that there is something I want to talk to my father, let me help contact it, if this matter is done, the debt between the two of us will be written off, and I can also give me a lot of money. ”

"What is he looking for your dad for?"

"It seems to be because of something, but I didn't know too much about it. Ai He thought for a while: "I'm a person, I like to be naughty since I was a child, and I've been working against the family, I don't like my dad, my dad also annoys me, and we will quarrel as long as we are together, so since I was seventeen years old, I came out to mix by myself, although my dad annoyed me, but I like my brother Ai Jiang very much, he sold the two big animals in the family in order to find a job for my brother. ”

I heard Ai He mention his brother, and I felt that he didn't look like he was lying, and nodded: "You continue." ”

"After receiving Liu Zhiwen's call, I went to his store, at that time he told me that there was a big boss who wanted to see my father, at that time I was quite puzzled, my father is just a poor old farmer, how can there be a big boss who wants to see him, but Liu Zhiwen said let me leave these things alone, as long as I can ask my father to meet with his people, I can give me 500,000, at that time I thought about it, I think this matter is a bit strange, although I have a deep grudge with Ai Zhongfu, but he is my father after all, and I am not stupid, I always feel that the 500,000 come too easily, and I asked Liu Zhiwen what the boss wants to see my father do, he didn't say anything, I refused him。 ”

"Hehe, you kid still have a bit of a conscience. Luo Hongcang smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it: "Why did you agree again?"

"I agreed to Liu Zhiwen's conditions the day after he rejected him, when he called me and said that the big boss wanted to contract a piece of land in our village and what photovoltaic power generation project he wanted to do, but he didn't tell me the reason before, because he was afraid that I would leak the news and be known by their competitors, and he also raised the conditions he promised me a little more and agreed to give me 600,000 yuan. Ai He saw Luo Hongcang smoking again, licked his lips, Luo Hongcang saw this, threw the cigarette case to him, Ai He nodded gratefully, and then lit a cigarette and continued to speak: " In recent years, the people in our village have moved away, and there is indeed a lot of wasteland idle, and then I asked someone to inquire, and others told me that the photovoltaic power generation project is really more profitable, according to the news I got at the time, the big boss that Yu Zhiwen said should really want to take the land with the help of my father's villager representative, so I agreed to Yu Zhiwen's conditions. ”

"Then, when Yu Zhiwen was talking to that boss, were you there?"

"No!" Ai He shook his head and frowned slightly: At that time, after I agreed to Yu Zhiwen's conditions, he first gave me more than 50,000 yuan, saying that the money was the hard work fee given to me by the big boss, and the money was originally given 100,000, but he deducted more than 40,000 yuan I owed him, and only gave me more than 50,000 yuan, at that time, I only took 50,000 yuan, and the remaining thousands were given to him as interest, Yu Zhiwen told me that in addition to the 100,000, the remaining 500,000 yuan would be given to me after the fact, also said that the land in the village is collective and the villagers are all households, he can't be the master, because of this matter, I had a big quarrel with him, and said that he favored my eldest brother, and finally my dad heard that I had received 100,000 yuan from others, and had spent half of it, so I had no choice but to compromise and agree to meet with those people, and the place where we met was not in Anyang, but went to a small county next door. ”

Luo Hongcang interrupted Ai He: "Can you still find the place where you met?"

"I can't find it, when we went there, it was Liu Zhiwen who drove us there, I didn't even remember the road, let alone the location, the place where we met, it was a two-story building facing the street, and I don't know what the place was, when we got downstairs, a middle-aged man came out to greet us, and talked to my dad alone, I wanted to follow upstairs, but was stopped outside by the gang, I think, my dad should have negotiated terms with them when he went in, he didn't let me follow, just didn't want me to know how much money he took, and then prepared to give money to my brother in private, he has always been so partial。 ”

'Knock knock!'

Luo Hongcang knocked on the car glass with his finger: "Say what you should say, don't go off-topic, let me ask you, what did the middle-aged man who went downstairs to pick you up look like, do you remember?"

"I was in the car all the way, I was already dazed, and I really didn't pay attention to what the man looked like, he looked about forty years old, wearing a suit, very dark, with short to medium hair. Ai He's description was very vague, and there was no way to piece together a complete image, and he probably felt that this statement would displease us, so he added: "If I can see this person, or see his picture or something, I should be able to recognize him." ”

Luo Hongcang ignored Ai He's words and continued to ask: "How long did your father talk with these people upstairs, and after that, did you see him?"

"I'm going with my dad, and I must go home with him!" Ai He nodded: "After my dad went upstairs, I went to a milk tea shop next to me to drink drinks, and by the way, I sat in the store and watched TV, and just after watching an episode of the TV series, my dad came out, so they talked for about forty minutes, after my dad went out, the middle-aged man sent us to the car, by the way, my dad also said a word to the middle-aged man." ”

"What?"

"My dad said to that person, 'My son's business, you must help me do it', the middle-aged man also reassured my dad, although I don't know what they said, but I feel that this matter is mostly related to my brother Ai Jiang, you say, this old man is so partial, obviously it is my contact, but he came to talk about the conditions for my brother, I ......" Ai He said halfway, saw Luo Hongcang's eyes, immediately stopped the topic, and continued to speak:" After my dad came out of the second floor, Liu Zhiwen drove us back to Aijia Village, that night, I didn't leave at home, because I knew that since those people could give me 600,000 yuan for me to ask my dad out to talk, and finally give him more money, so I asked him for money and wanted to buy a car, but my dad not only didn't give it to me, but also quarreled with me again, when I asked him what he said to those people, he didn't tell me, I thought of his previous conversation with the middle-aged man, I knew that he was going to give all the benefits to my brother, and then the wine turned his face with him and put the glass in the house, the TV and everything were smashed, and then I left the house alone. ”

I frowned slightly: "After you left home, did you see your father?"

"No, when he had good things, he didn't even think of my son, what do I care about him JB, this old guy, only Ai Jiang in his eyes. Ai He mentioned these things and responded angrily: "After returning to Ayang, Liu Zhiwen was really trustworthy, and really gave me a card of 500,000 yuan, and I also gave him a benefit fee of 10,000 yuan, I think since he can give me money, it means that the boss and my dad must have been negotiated, but Lao Ai didn't give me a penny, since then, I haven't taken care of him, for so many years, we have been like this, and there is no sense of family affection between each other." ”

After listening to his answer, Luo Hongcang and I glanced at each other, and both felt helplessness in each other's eyes, at this point, we have basically been able to determine that Ai He did not lie, but this matter seems to be more difficult to investigate than we imagined.

……

Two hours later, we returned to the mine, where Ai He was locked up in the dormitory by Chubby and the rest of us in the conference room of the office building.

Luo Hongcang sat at the long table, and after summarizing the information we interrogated on the way to Brother Dong, he continued to add: "This matter is even more difficult than I imagined, and now the clues on Aihe's side are broken, which means that we are busy in vain today." ”

"It's not in vain, it's still rewarding. Brother Dong comforted Luo Hongcang, and then continued to speak: "At least we can now determine that Ai Zhongfu's dishonesty is not the cause of Aijia Village, but that there are really external forces that obstruct him, since these people can spend such a big price to see him, and when the uncle went to sign the contract, the people they found to do it were all local to Aijia Village, which was obviously confusing the direction of our investigation, so it seems that this group of people came to Shengdong." ”

"Having said that, what is the point of these things now that we know these things. The old uncle was still worried: "Even if we really know that this group of people are coming to Shengdong, but until now, we can't determine their identity, and Lao Ai has disappeared, and the matter of land acquisition has to be shelved, if the person on the other side really keeps raising Lao Ai, we can't afford to delay!"

"Well, I think Lao Wang is right. Luo Hongcang nodded: "Ai He told me before that Ai Zhongfu cares about his eldest son Ai Jiang very much, and I will take some time to go to Ai Jiang to see if I can find clues about Lao Ai." ”
