Chapter 53: Repudiation
After listening to He Ning's statement, Tang Li nodded: "I agree." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Then what do you want to tell me?" He Ning finished his thoughts and asked Tonic again.
"It's about the same as you," Tang Li smiled, what He Ning said coincided with what he just thought, basically what he wanted to say to He Ning, He Ning had already said everything, "There is one more thing." If you can find the later owner, or the original car repair shop, you can grasp the severity of the damage to the car, and judge how much the driving condition after the crash has been affected according to the damage, and whether it has an impact on the speed of the car. ”
When He Ning heard him say this, he immediately understood what Tonic meant: "So if you can draw these conclusions, you can roughly guess the location where Zhuang Wenbin might crash based on the time when Zhuang Wenbin arrived home and the necessary way to enter and exit the city, and then go to the neighborhood to find someone to inquire!
"Yes, that's what it means. Tonic nodded, He Ning had this kind of coincidence, which could save a lot of unnecessary explanations, and it was definitely a happy thing for Tonic to not speak.
The two of them drove away, ready to do what Fang Cai had in mind, and on the way, He Ning suddenly remembered the unfocused conversation they had with Xu Zhiming that morning.
Xu Zhiming once mentioned that Zhuang Wenbin had a good relationship outside, who worked in a bank, and he only found out that the other party worked in a bank, and the specific identity was not so clear, and now it seems that the person he said should be Diao Nianhua. He Ning finally remembered what he had always felt vaguely impressed, but he couldn't remember anyway, that is, Xu Zhiming had mentioned Diao Nianhua, but he didn't say Diao Nianhua's name at that time, and the whole story seemed to be unfocused, and it was almost forgotten after a long time, "Didn't he still say it, he told Xu Jing about it, but Xu Jing defended Zhuang Wenbin and didn't allow him to mess around, so he let it go." Not long after, Zhuang Wenbin had a car accident, Xu Jing told Xu Zhiming that this was Zhuang Wenbin's retribution, and since that incident, Zhuang Wenbin must have learned a lesson. But Xu Jing really doesn't seem to have any impression of Diao Nianhua, unlike the kind of gritted teeth with Li Zhihui, do you say that Xu Jing lied to us, or did she perfunctory Xu Zhiming at the beginning? Not long after Xu Zhiming told Xu Jing about the matter, Zhuang Wenbin had a car accident when he was out with Diao Nianhua, do you think this is a coincidence, or is it a deliberate revenge action?"
"It's hard to say, I'll have the answer when I find Zhuang Wenbin's car. Tonic replied.
It is not difficult to find the original car, after all, even if it is a private personal transaction, after the transaction, it is always necessary to go to the vehicle management office for the transfer, and before Tang Li has entrusted colleagues from the traffic police to help find out who is the surname of the new owner after Zhuang Wenbin, so the identity of the new owner is easy to be checked, the real difficulty is that more than ten years have passed, the car may be close to the end of life, which changed hands a few times, whether the owner of the car after Zhuang Wenbin knows that the car has been damaged, if the other party can still remember that it is very good, I am afraid that the other party has passed so long, I don't know anything about those things, so things are a little difficult to handle.
After Zhuang Wenbin, the owner of the car is surnamed Xin, is a self-employed businessman, and Zhuang Wenbin seems to have a little kinship, when he was approached by Tang Li and He Ning, this Mr. Xin, who is also almost fifty years old, is still a little dazed, I don't know why a good man suddenly came to the door to ask him about things, and then when he heard that it was about Zhuang Wenbin, he immediately waved his hand without saying a word.
"Don't ask me about the surname Zhuang, I don't want to say anything related to him, you can ask someone else!" In terms of familiarity, I don't know him well, and in terms of kinship, it is also possible to sweep a little bit of the edge by pulling out the eight poles, which is negligible inside and out, you don't look for me, I can't talk to him. ”
"We don't want to ask you about Zhuang Wenbin, but we mainly want to ask about the car he sold you in the first place. He Ning didn't expect this Mr. Xin to feel this kind of disgust towards Zhuang Wenbin, but she didn't particularly care about the other party's attitude, and it was not a good thing to have rejection, it was not a good thing to be able to make Mr. Xin so disgusted, which showed that Zhuang Wenbin had done something to offend him, since he was able to hold a grudge for so long, maybe he wouldn't know anything else, which was much more ideal than having no impression.
"The car?" Mr. Xin was a little surprised when he heard He Ning's words, but he didn't have any doubts, obviously he was still very impressed by the car he used to have, "It's been so many years since this happened, why did you police suddenly ask about it? I didn't report the case at the beginning, and it's been more than ten years since then, why did you suddenly come to ask me about it now? Is it that Zhuang Wenbin is swaggering outside again?"
"Zhuang Wenbin is dead," Tang Li said to Mr. Xin succinctly, "and we are learning about the situation." ”
"Dead?" Obviously, this answer was far beyond Mr. Xin's expectations, and he was taken aback, "When did it happen? Because of what...... Oh yes, you're still in the know, and you certainly don't. Forget it, then I didn't ask. What do you want to know about that car?"
"Did the car that Zhuang Wenbin sold you have an accident? Do you know anything about it?" He Ning, like Tang Li, asked straight questions, and did not intend to delay time with the other party.
Mr. Xin nodded: "I know, but I only learned about it afterwards, I was fooled by Zhuang Wenbin at the beginning, and I thought that he really sold me a car cheaply because the two of us were related." That's what happened at the beginning, I just started doing business at that time, and I just earned the first pot of gold in my life, I don't know if you know, sometimes the business is really Buddha relying on gold, people rely on clothes, no matter how reliable you are, if you dress up with a gray face, others also think you are so shabby, definitely unreliable. So after I have some spare money in my hand, I want to buy a trolley, talk about life opinions and customers, and drive it, which doesn't make people think that I have a foundation and feel at ease with me? But at that time, I did not have much spare money on hand, and I had to set aside some to turnover, so I wanted to buy a second-hand car, Zhuang Wenbin probably heard about it, and took the initiative to contact me, saying that he had a second-hand car, and others paid off his debts, and he wanted to sell the car, and it cost money to maintain the car, so he wanted to sell it, and it was more practical to exchange it for money, and then he also told me his psychological price, I listened, it was too cost-effective, and after all, it should not be too unreliable, so I agreed. ”
"He quickly showed me the car, the car is well maintained, I am not an expert in this area, plus I was still young, considering that it was a relative, I was gullible, I didn't check it at all, and I didn't say to find someone who knows the car to help me see, so I gave the money and followed him to go through the formalities. The result is good, this car has not been in my hands for half a month, and it broke down! Alas, that paragraph has nothing to do with you, I will skip it, in short, it is still very miserable, I have to repair the car later, to the car repair shop, the professional car repair master can see it at a glance, saying that my car is hit, I don't understand the specifics, probably means that only the façade work is in place, some of the more critical components have not been cleaned up at all, the result is bad, you have to overhaul, all at once for this for that, toss a lot of money into it, there is that money, I added enough to buy a second-hand car that is a grade higher than the broken car, so I was very angry, ran to Zhuang Wenbin to settle the account。 ”
"Did he tell you about the details of the crash?" He Ning hurriedly asked.
Mr. Xin shook his head, although time has passed, but recalling that incident still made him grit his teeth a little, "I was actually thinking about it, they are all relatives, and I don't want to tear my face too much, as long as he honestly admits his mistake with me, he will tell me clearly what is going on, let me also know in my heart, and then bear part of the cost of repairing the car, even if this matter is turned over." Unexpectedly, after I went to find him, he actually turned my face and didn't recognize anyone, and bit back, saying that I bought his car cheaply because I was his relative, and I had already taken such a big advantage that it was not over, and I still wanted to slander him. This made me angry, the two of us almost had a fight, and then my parents found out, and there was no way, so they told me to forget it, just buy meat and feed it to the dog, and don't deal with their family anymore. So since then, I haven't had any dealings with Zhuang Wenbin, and he has a problem with his character, and the problem is quite big!"
"Is the place where you repaired the car back then?" Tonic asked tentatively, in fact, he didn't have much hope for the answer to this question, even if it was a large-scale car repair shop, he didn't dare to guarantee that it had not changed hands or turned to business for more than ten years, not to mention how old the master in charge of repairing the car was at that time, after so many years, was he still engaged in that line, and whether he was still in City A.
Fortunately, their luck is still good, Mr. Xin shook his head at first, but then the answer he gave made the two of them hope again: "That car repair shop is long gone, it seems to have moved to the suburbs of the city, I don't know where it moved, how many years have it been." However, I know the master who helped me repair my car, his family lives near my house, and now he is in his 60s, and he works in the small shop in front of his house to give people night watches. If you want to ask him, I can tell you where to find someone, but after all this time, he can remember, then I can't say. ”
"It doesn't matter, you can provide us with where you can meet this person, and we'll take care of the rest. As soon as He Ning heard this, his already somewhat depressed mood improved again, and he hurriedly said.
Mr. Xin didn't procrastinate, but He Ning handed over the paper and pen and wrote his address on it, and also marked which store the car repairman was in now, so as to make it easier for He Ning and Tang Li to find it, and the two thanked him, drove away, and went directly to the address he gave to find someone.
Mr. Xin's business does not know how to do, the community where his home is located is located near the city center, although the community is relatively old, but the surroundings are very lively, at this time it has just reached the afternoon, the car repair master has not yet arrived at work time, He Ning asked the owner of the store about the home address of the car repair master, it is not far from here, it only takes less than ten minutes to walk, so He Ning and Tang Li went straight to the car repair master's home, and found the master who had personally handled Zhuang Wenbin's car in his home。
The old master is in his early sixties, his health is quite good, he lives alone, his wife passed away due to illness a few years ago, and his children are working in other places, so he is bored alone, so he simply found a night job to pass the time, and earn a little more pocket money by the way. Seeing He Ning and Tang Li coming to the door, the master was very happy, and no matter what he was here for, as long as someone came to talk and chat with him, he seemed to be very happy.
He Ning and Tang Li were asked by him to enter the house and sit down, and he was very active in making tea for them, but He Ning refused to say anything, so he asked the master to sit down and explain their intention this time.
After listening to her words, the old master answered, and nodded unhurriedly: "Oh, that car, I have an impression." ”
"Really?" He replied so simply, but it made He Ning a little unsure, after an interval of more than ten years, and the old master did not handle more than one car every day, such a thing that had no interest in him at all, can it really be more than ten years later, and still let him retain his impression? This is also not for He Ning not to be surprised and a trace of suspicion.
The old master didn't care about He Ning's disbelief, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, really, the little brother who bought the car and lived in this area, sometimes I can see him, and greet him when I see him! If this is someone else, I may not remember, but I can remember it, because as soon as the little brother found out that he was deceived, he cried in our car repair shop, I still thought at the time, if I hadn't been deceived in a hurry, it is estimated that a big man would not cry like this!"
