"Huh?" Wang Kui's eyes widened in surprise. He originally wanted to surprise others, but he didn't expect others to be surprised at all, but he surprised others, "Have you already met Zhao Lijuan?" ”

Liu Pancheng took the opportunity to tell Wang Kui what happened in the afternoon.

After listening to this, Wang Kui said whimsically: "I thought I was moving fast enough!" I didn't expect you to be the first to get on again. ”

"You should be able to expect that. Didn't we agree with the school yesterday that they would come forward to help us contact Zhao Lijuan? Liu Pancheng said indifferently, "I was going to call you to go to school today, but who knew that you would not be seen in the morning." The matter was urgent, and I didn't have time to call the deputy director of Shangqu again, so I had to go to school by myself. ”

"That's not mine." Wang Kui was a little unconvinced, "What should I do next?" Do they need to change the ambush from their original rented place to Zhao Lijuan's brother's house? ”

"What did you do after you saw Zhao Lijuan?" Liu Pancheng didn't answer and asked, "After four o'clock until now, where have you been for the past five or six hours?" ”

"I've been squatting in front of Brother Zhao Lijuan's house!" Wang Kui looked confident, and said eloquently, "I think that since Zhao Lijuan and her son appear here, maybe I can bump into Pan Wang!" ”

Liu Pancheng's expression was stunned, he was not only moved by Wang Kui's dedication, but also distressed by his hard work.

"Squatting is a must." Liu Pancheng groaned, "This clue in Pujiang City is not necessarily reliable. We can't rely on others, we have to rely on ourselves to find clues. ”

"Okay, I'll transfer people over right now, and I'll start squatting overnight tonight."

Wang Kui was about to deploy the task of waiting for the ambush resolutely, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Liu Pancheng.

"Don't worry, the squatting can start tomorrow. Tonight, you and Deputy Director Qu will make a good calculation, implement the required manpower, and then arrange a shift, and everyone will take turns to squat. Liu Pancheng instructed, "Now I have a more important task here that you need to complete for me." ”

"I want you to go to the old street in the old city and find out the small restaurant called 'Lao Wu Jia Cooking', I want to verify Zhao Lijuan and Li Ziqiang's statements, and find out if there is really a mysterious friend from Pujiang City around Pan Wang." Liu Pancheng gritted his teeth word by word and said.

"'Old Five Home Cooking'? I think I've seen this name somewhere? Wang Kui raised his head and lowered his head, rolling his eyes and thinking, "I remembered." ”

With Wang Kui's words, the spirits of Liu Pancheng and Deputy Director Qu were also lifted.

"Do you know where this little restaurant is?" Deputy Director Qu asked impatiently.

"Well, it's in an alley near Lao Cai, not far from where Pan Wang used to rent." Wang Kui said confidently, "When I was looking for Pan Wang's rental place in that area before, I passed by this small restaurant, which was quite popular, so I subconsciously looked at it twice, and when I saw the name of the restaurant, I thought it was quite interesting, but I didn't expect to remember it like this." ”

"God help me!" Deputy Director Qu sighed excitedly.

"Let's go, we'll go now." Liu Pancheng couldn't help but drag Wang Kui and walked outside the conference room.

Wang Kui tried to break free from Liu Pancheng's clamps, and said dissuasively: "It's so late, what are you doing?" I'll just take someone with me. ”

Liu Pancheng stopped and looked back at Wang Kui, as if thinking about what he said.

"No, I have to ask in person, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." Liu Pancheng was resolute.

In less than half an hour, Liu Pancheng had successfully arrived at the door of the "Old Five Home Cooking". Located on the ground floor of a three-storey house facing the street in a relatively wide alleyway in the old town, this small restaurant has six tables in a small storefront, all of which are already full. The boss set up two more tables on the sidewalk at the door, occupying all the sidewalks that were not wide. Fortunately, there was no rain tonight, and although the weather was cold and damp, the interest of the diners seemed to be high.

Liu Pancheng and Wang Kui walked into the small restaurant, only to see a middle-aged man with a round body, a ruddy face, and a full of vigor in his speech, shuttling between the dining tables, chatting with the diners from time to time, or asking if the food was delicious, or making a joke.

"Boss." Wang Kui raised his hand at the fat man.

"Here we are." The fat man immediately stepped forward, "I'm sorry, we're all full here, and there are no empty seats." Would you like to share a table if you two don't mind? ”

"We're not here to eat." Wang Kui replied with a serious face.

"Then you two, this is ......"

Wang Kui showed his work card, the fat man was stunned, quickly looked around, and pointed to a small door in the house: "Can you trouble the two of you, let's go there and talk!" ”

The fat man led the two through the small door, through the crowded back kitchen, to another alley behind the house.

"I don't know what the two of you are doing?" The fat man asked with a smile on his face.

"You're the owner of this shop?" Wang Kui did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Yes."

"What's your name?"

"I'm the fifth oldest in the family, and everyone calls me Wang Lao Wu."

"Wang Lao Wu? That's why your shop is called 'Old Five Home Cooking'? ”

"You're right." Wang Lao Wu flattered.

"Do you know a man named Pan Wang?" Wang Kui continued to be right.

"Know, of course know. He's a regular visitor to my place. Wang Lao Wu replied crisply.

"He usually comes to your place for dinner?"

"At least once or twice a week."

"Alone every time?"

"No, most of the time he comes to me for takeout, and sometimes he brings his friends." Wang Lao Wu explained.

"Order takeout?" Wang Kui wondered.

"Ah, his son likes to eat our drunken goose, and he buys one every week to take home and add vegetables."

Wang Kui nodded knowingly: "You just said that he sometimes brings some friends to dinner?" ”

"Yes."

"Who are they?"

"Comrade policeman, what are you asking all this for? Did something happen to Pan Wang? Wang Lao Wu showed a worried look, "He hasn't been here for almost a month." ”

"Haven't been here in a month?" Wang Kui chewed on Wang Lao Wu's words for a while.

"Yes!" Wang Lao Wu nodded like pounding garlic, "Two days ago, when I passed by his house, I went to knock on the door, but the grandmother downstairs told me that they had moved out, as if there was something at home." ”

"When was the last time he came to you, do you remember?" Liu Pancheng, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly asked at this time.

Wang Lao Wu rolled his eyes and recalled for a while, and replied, "It should have been more than a month ago." ”

"He's ordering takeout alone?" Liu Pancheng asked.

"It's not." Wang Lao Wu shook his head and denied, "He came with a friend." ”

"What kind of friends?"

"It should be the person who worked with him on the construction site." Wang Lao Wu seriously recalled, "These people have been here before, and I heard their conversation as if they had encountered a problem of unpaid wages, and they were trying to ask for the money. As he spoke, Wang Lao Wu's eyes suddenly widened, "Did he fight with others?" Was he wounded, or did he hurt someone else? ”

"No, he didn't fight anyone." Liu Pancheng explained, "The matter of asking for wages has been mediated. ”

Wang Lao Wu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he was suspicious: "So you didn't come here for him to beg for money, so why?" ”

"You don't have to ask too much about this. All you have to do is answer our questions truthfully and tell us everything you know. Wang Kui explained on the side.

After hearing this, Wang Lao Wu nodded his head resignedly.

"Apart from those people, has Pan Wang brought anyone else to your store in the past year? For example, it is an out-of-town with an unfamiliar face. Liu Pancheng said in a sincere and seductive tone.

Xu is last sentence inspired Wang Lao Wu, only to see a sudden sharp nod: "Yes, yes, there is such a person." ”

Liu Pancheng and Wang Kui didn't say a word, staring intently at Wang Lao Wu, waiting for his next step.
