Sitting at the dining table and seeing the three dishes and one soup served by the master, Zhao Zimeng knew that Director Zhang had used a lot of brains on this meal. So nothing more was said.

For Zhao Zimeng, there are not many times to eat calmly like today, and at noon today, he and Director Zhang have to wait for Uncle Cao's son.

When Zhao Zimeng ate a few pieces of mutton and beef, he knew that the canteen master in Yuanxian Bridge was very level, and the mutton had no taste at all, and it melted in his mouth.

The beef is very fragrant and very rotten, such a well-cooked and good-tasting mutton and beef, Zhao Zimeng is the first time to eat it.

As for the mullet soup, it is both fragrant and fresh.

Because the dishes are very suitable for Zhao Zimeng's taste, he is very full of this meal.

Director Zhang saw that Zhao Zimeng was eating very deliciously, and there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

In order to make Zhao Zimeng eat with peace of mind, at noon today, the food standards of all the staff who ate in the canteen were the same as Zhao Zimeng.

The two masters stood in the window and looked out, and saw Zhao Zimeng and everyone eating with relish, and the expressions on their faces were very relaxed.

As the three of them walked out of the cafeteria, the doorman led a young man over the way—a man of about thirty years old, dressed modestly, pushing a half-worn bicycle with a handbag hanging from its faucet.

"Director Zhang, hello, I am Cao Runan's son, and my father called me here."

"Hello, we're waiting for you, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Cao Lei."

"Cao Lei, this is Captain Zhao of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Zhao Zimeng took a step forward and shook Cao Lei's hand: "Cao Lei, I'm delaying your time." ”

Cao Lei looked at Zhao Zimeng and said, "Don't delay, I go to work at half past one in the afternoon, and I have plenty of time." ”

Zhao Zimeng looked at his watch, the time was twelve o'clock: "Let's go, let's go to Director Zhang's office to talk." ”

Qin Dazhao led Cao Lei into the director's office, sat on a single sofa, and then made a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Cao Lei.

Zhao Zimeng sat on the single sofa opposite Cao Lei, and Director Zhang sat on the two-seater.

Qin Dazhao made two cups of tea, put them on the coffee table in front of Zhao Zimeng, Director Zhang and Cao Lei, and walked out of the office.

"Cao Lei, do you know the situation?" Zhao Zimeng asked.

"I know, last night, I was also in the back village of Huaigu Village, and my father told me about this morning. Captain Zhao, I don't know what I can do for you? ”

"Have you seen the portrait that Uncle Cao brought back?"

"Well, I haven't met those two people - I don't remember them at all, and if I do, I'll remember them."

"I heard that you and Rao are classmates."

"Sort of! He's one level above me. ”

"How's your relationship?"

"Generally, because I live in the back village of Huaigu Village, and I am a neighbor, I don't have any deep friendships when I meet and say hello."

"In the back village of Huaigu Village, do you have any classmates who have a good time?"

"Yes, in the village, he has an iron buddy. Captain Zhao, do you doubt Rao? ”

"This case is currently being investigated, and as long as it is everyone who is involved in this case, we have to inquire about it, and it is not against a certain person, which is also our duty."

"Oh, I personally think that Rao Xian has nothing to do with this case."

"Why?"

"Although I don't know him well, everyone of us knows that Rao Zhan has been timid since he was a child, and he blushes when he sees a girl, anyone can bully him, and his academic performance is not bad."

"He is still very filial, and he takes care of his family, his younger brother got married, he took the initiative to move from his family to No. 117 to live, and he also gave his brother the thousands of dollars he had accumulated over the years to get married."

Cao Lei's words were very sincere, Zhao Zimeng heard it, this Cao Lei and his father Cao Runan and Sister-in-law Che had the same opinion, they didn't think that a person like Rao Yan could do anything earth-shattering, let alone have anything to do with this case.

Zhao Zimeng returned to the original topic: "Who is Rao's iron buddy?" ”

"Chen Jialu, nicknamed 'Sitting Cannon', is a fat man."

"Where does this Chen Jialu live? What do you do? ”

"I worked as a manager in a restaurant in Zhongguan, and the name of the hotel is Baiwei Lou, which is a century-old restaurant and is very famous."

Chen Jialu and Rao are classmates, originally lived in Huaiguqian Village, and moved to Zhongguan after getting married, and his parents still live in Huaigu Village. If you want to know more, you can go to Chen Jialu and ask. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you for your cooperation."

After sending Cao Lei away, Qin Dazhao immediately drove Zhao Zimeng to Zhongguan Baiwei Building.

The time for the car to get to the Barilla is one o'clock in the afternoon.

Qin Dazhao parked his car in the parking lot in front of the hotel.

This is the best time for hotel business. The hall on the first floor was full of people.

Under the guidance of a waitress lady, the two of them went up to the second floor, the east side of the second floor was a private room, and the manager's office was at the westernmost end.

The waiter tapped three times on the door.

"Please come in." A deep male voice came from inside the office.

The waiter pushed open the door: "Manager, there are two public security comrades looking for you." ”

On the couch sat a short, fat man in his thirties, holding a teacup and watching television.

Zhao Zimeng was sure that this person was Rao's iron buddy - Chen Jialu.

The man put down the teacup and struggled to stand up, looking dazed: "You are looking for me?" The man said as he muted the TV.

"Manager Chen, hello, take the liberty to excuse me, we have something to do with you."

Manager Chen waved to the waiter: "Xiaofeng, serve tea to the two of you." ”

The waiter took the office door, walked to the coffee table, made two cups of tea, and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa: "Manager, what else do you command?" ”

"No, let's get busy!" The waiter closed the office door and went downstairs.

"Manager Chen, this is Captain Zhao of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Qin Da summoned him.

"Comrade Public Security, do you have anything to do with me?" Chen Jialu was a little uneasy, he couldn't figure out what was going on with the sudden visit from the police.

Zhao Zimeng took out two portraits from his bag and handed them to Chen Jialu's hand.

After Chen Jialu glanced at the two portraits, he put the two pieces of paper on the coffee table, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You are here for this matter!" This has just been shown on TV. ”

"Since Manager Chen has already watched the TV news, then we can save a lot of trouble. Manager Chen, have you seen these two people on the missing person notice? ”

"I haven't seen it, Comrade Public Security, in this way, you left these two missing person notices here with me, and I will take them down later for the employees to see if they have seen them."

"Yes."

"Manager Chen, we heard that you and Rao are classmates and good friends."

"yes, what's wrong?" As soon as Chen Jialu heard the name of his good buddy, he immediately became alert again.

"You know the case in Huaigu Village, right?" Zhao Zimeng asked.

"You know, does Rao have anything to do with this?" Chen Jialu looked very concerned.

"You don't have to be nervous, we're just routine, the neighbors of No. 117 Huaigu Village, we'll all ask. Rao Yan lives at No. 117, I heard that you have a very strong relationship with him, so we naturally want to come to you to find out the situation, you can just tell us what you know. ”

"I understand, I understand. Rao and I are classmates, and he is still my buddy. What do you want to know? ”

"I heard that Rao Glance likes to make friends."

"Yes, he has a lot of friends, but most of these people know through me, I run a restaurant, I have more contact, and there are many ways to have multiple friends, don't young people think so now!"

"Well, in addition to the work of the Zhongguan grain depot, does Rao have any other livelihood?"

"No, he is a person who admits death, is timid, and is more hesitant to do things. When I opened this restaurant, I pulled him into the gang, but he had a lot of concerns, saying that he just wanted to live a stable and down-to-earth life, and didn't want to take risks. ”

"He is a very face-saving person, some time ago, I persuaded him to quit his job at the grain depot and work with me, but he was afraid that others would say that he was powerful, and when he saw that my business was doing well, he came up."

"I'll tell you the truth, among my friends, he's quite unproductive and a wretch. He is like this, conservative in thinking, not seeking progress, and a standard good man. ”

"Don't say these words to Rao Guan, he's my buddy." It seems that in Chen Jialu's eyes, Rao Glance is also an ordinary and useless person, this Rao Glance's public image is really stable, and everyone sees him like this.

"Is it okay to have a glance at the financial situation?"

"Hey, can you not be short of money guarding the dilapidated iron rice bowl of the Zhongguan Grain Depot?"

"With so many friends, he is the poorest. After working for so many years, I have saved thousands of dollars. When his younger brother got married, he gave all the money to his younger brother, but he is still a bachelor. ”

"I've seen Rao at a glance, and he's a decent person."

"Hehe, I won't hide it from you, I bought him a hard stuff for him to see the outfit, he is my buddy, the boss is not small, and he is not particular at all."

"My wife works in a shopping mall and wanted to introduce a colleague to him, but he didn't even have a decent outfit."

"What's worse is that he can't even speak when he sees a woman, and his face is as red as a cockscomb, but I am in a hurry." Listening to Chen Jialu's tone, he and Rao are indeed very good.

"Is that the subject negotiated?"

"It's weird to talk about it! When the girl saw him, he didn't do anything, and later, my wife introduced him to another one. ”

"You have a very good relationship with Rao Guan."

"That is, although he is not on the stage and is a bit cowardly, I can't help him, because he once saved my life." Chen Jialu said very seriously.

"He saved your life?" Talking about this, Zhao Zimeng finally heard something interesting.
