"It's a shame." Kelly. Lo Sedi was a little sorry.

It is more than 400 square meters, and the address is still an office building in the urban area of Nanlin City, which is high enough.

And this price is indeed a jumping price, otherwise Kelly would not recommend it to Li Changqing.

"By the way, I was contacted yesterday with a commission." Kelly. Luo Saidi remembered one thing and said: "Yesterday, someone called me according to the contact number on the flyer, it was a boss of Linjiang Wharf, and he wanted to ask us to come to talk about the commission. ”

Li Changqing's eyes lit up, this was good news, and he said to Tang Xiaoyu in the house: "Xiaoyu, you're ready to go out." ”

Linjiang is a river that runs through the middle of Nanlin City.

In other words, the original Nanlin City was a city built along the river, where the water and land were developed, and it relied on the development of water and land trade.

Correspondingly, there are all kinds of bustling docks, shipyards, cargo ships, fishing boats and so on.

Linjiang Wharf is one of the top three wharves in the city in the south.

There are all kinds of containers full of goods, and cargo ships are docked and constantly loading and unloading.

Trucks also continued to enter the docks.

On this street, there are many trucks parked, Li Changqing, Tang Xiaoyu, Kelly. The three of Lo Saidi took a taxi and went directly to the office building in the dock.

This is a small five-storey building built by himself, and the staff of the dock are constantly coming in and out.

Before coming, Kelly. Lo Sedi had already called.

A slightly balding man in a suit holds a cigarette in his hand and occasionally glances anxiously at his watch.

The taxi stopped, and the three got out of the car.

"You're Detective Kelly, an internationally renowned detective."

The man stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and smiled all over his face: "My name is Huang Chao, and I am the boss here, who are these two?" ”

Kelly. Lo Sedi with a faint smile: "My two assistants. ”

Horse ......

Li Changqing scolded secretly, but this middle-aged man obviously found Kelly because of the international detective promoted on the flyer.

This is exactly the effect that Li Changqing wants to achieve, and naturally he will not dismantle the stage.

"Xiao Li, help me hold my coat."

"Yes, Mr. Kelly."

Li Changqing smiled and took Kelly. Locetti's clothes.

Huang Chao thought to himself, he is worthy of being an international detective, and his assistants are all with him.

"Let's talk in my office."

Huang Chao's office is large, with leather sofas, a large wine cabinet full of red wine, and a desk cluttered with papers.

Huang Chao sat on the sofa and said, "Three, my commission is to help find someone." ”

Get?

Kelly. Locetti: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Huang Chao hesitated for a moment, then took out two photos and put them on the table: "These are my two workers at the dock, they were originally on duty the night before yesterday, guarding the goods, but the people disappeared the next day, and the surveillance showed that they did not leave the dock through the gate." ”

"But we searched the entire dock and couldn't find any trace of them."

Kelly. Lo Seti glanced at the two people in the photo, who were vaguely about thirty years old, and asked, "The two of them disappeared into the dock?" ”

Disappearances?

Although Li Changqing has his own guesses, his identity is an assistant at the moment, so it is not good to ask anything.

"Entrust 20,000 lang coins, you see?" Huang Chao said with a smile.

Li Changqing and Huang Chao glanced at each other and quickly agreed.

They took out the power of attorney they carried with them and quickly signed an agreement with Huang Chao.

"Boss Huang, the two of them disappeared, are there any clues?"

After signing the contract, Kelly. Luo Saidi handed it to Li Changqing on the side.

"Well......" Huang Chao thought carefully for a while and said, "Before them, they had a conflict with a person who was ferrying on the river. ”

"Those guys are still rowing boats to send people across the river every day, you say, what era is this?"

Before the river was built with large bridges, pedestrians and goods were basically transported back and forth by rowing ferry.

However, with the progress of the times, fewer and fewer people crossed the river by this kind of ferry.

However, the nearest bridge along the coast, three kilometers away, is three kilometers away, and nearby residents go to the other side and occasionally take this slightly archaic way.

Huang Chao said: "Now there are more than ten ferrymen on this river, often because of them, affecting the berthing of cargo ships, so the people at our dock will find them every once in a while to quarrel." ”

"Before the two of them disappeared, they quarreled with a boatman surnamed Ye, and in the end they had a very unpleasant quarrel."

"Boatman?" Li Changqing asked.

Huang Chao beckoned and led them to the window of the office building.

You can see the entire river from here.

At this moment, there happened to be a man with a hat and a cloak wearing a coat, rowing a boat to send people across the river.

On the shore, there are also a few simple brick houses, as well as a dozen small boats.

The boatmen were sitting in their boats chatting, and every now and then, someone would come over to take the boat.

"This group of guys is out of touch with the times, and sooner or later they will be eliminated." Huang Chao said impatiently.

He was often influenced by this group of people in his dock business, and he negotiated with them several times, but in the end nothing came of it.

"Got it, we'll look into it first."

Kelly. Lo Sedi had a faint smile on his face.

The three of them walked out of Huang Chao's office.

Tang Xiaoyu asked Li Changqing: "Could it be the boatman surnamed Ye, who killed people with a grudge because of a quarrel?" ”

"Judging from Boss Huang's tone, the people at their dock should often have conflicts with this group of boatmen, which is commonplace."

"It's not very likely, but it needs to be investigated."

"Kelly, you take a look near the dock first, and Xiaoyu and I will go and ask the boatman surnamed Ye to see if there is a harvest."

Kelly. Locetti: "Okay, there's a clue, I'll call you." ”

He and Tang Xiaoyu walked out of the wharf, built a path along the embankment along the side of the river, and followed the path and soon came to the riverside.

The riverside is overgrown with weeds, but the weeds have been trampled out of a path.

Five square meters were built here, which was supposed to be a temporary residence for the boatmen.

At this moment, there are eight boatmen sitting on their respective fishing boats, smoking cigarettes and chatting in yellow accents.

Seeing Li Changqing and Tang Xiaoyu coming, he quickly shut his mouth.

"Two, do you want to take a boat to the other side? Ten Lang coins. ”

A slightly darker-skinned boatman asked with a smile.

Tang Xiaoyu was just about to ask about the situation at the dock, but Li Changqing nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, go to the other side." ”

After speaking, he pulled Tang Xiaoyu onto the boat.

This wooden ship has a rudimentary canopy with small benches on it.

The boatman skillfully steered the boat to the surface of the river.

"Master, you've been ferrying here for some years." Li Changqing asked seemingly casually.

The boatman nodded: "It's been a few years, almost twelve years, make some hard-earned money." ”
