Chapter 10 "Second-rate" Private Detectives
Wei Xiaoyu replied: "I'm on the left side of the road, an old red pickup truck with a tail number 020. ”
The other side said, "Okay, I'll be here in a minute!"
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiaoyu searched for "Wei Shengjian" on the Internet, although she knew that there was little hope, but it was better than doing nothing, and sure enough, there was no information displayed. Then she had the mentality of trying it out again, and added the keyword - "Huangshan", but this time two or three links to local forums popped up, recording the information that several people accused him of selling floor tiles with questionable quality, causing the elderly and children in the family to slip and fall and be injured. She flipped it down, and it didn't seem to have been resolved.
Seven or eight minutes later, a chubby young man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, wearing a towel to cover the sun, appeared at the intersection in front of him in an electric tricycle. The man held the handlebars with one hand and his phone in his right, and quickly parked the car in the open space between two waist-high flower beds next to it.
I saw his short hair, oilily sticking to his head, the towel just now on his neck, flat eyes, a long mouth with a collapsed nose, a slight tilt of his head and a shake of his hair, and a pair of gray plastic slippers, walking towards Wei Xiaoyu's car. The sun was still shining at five o'clock, and he frowned, his eyes narrowed into a line, and said, "Hi, beauty!"
Looking at his second-rate outfit, Wei Xiaoyu replied stubbornly: "Hello." ”
The man continued: "My surname is Gao, and my single name is a friend, you can call me Lao Gao, Xiao Gao, it's okay." What do you call a beauty?"
Wei Xiaoyu said: "Hello, my name is Xiaoyu. She deliberately did not use her real name, always felt that this unconventional method was not suitable to leave too many traces, and also doubted the reliability of the man in front of her, although his name was very powerful.
At this time, Gao Peng put his right hand on her car window frame, and said in a hoarse voice: "What's the trouble with the beauty?"
Wei Xiaoyu said: "I want to find a person named Wei Shengjian, who lived in this community four and a half years ago and moved out more than two years ago. ”
Gao Peng lowered his head and said, "Hey, that's a good name." So what...... Just a little bit of information?"
Mr. Xiao kept cooing on Wei Xiaoyu's shoulder, talking about Wei Shengjian: a 1.74-meter-tall man, not a native of Huangshan City, fifty-six years old, dark-skinned, slightly strong, and opened a brand floor tile agency. He and his wife have a 28-year-old daughter and a 19-year-old son, who like to drink and keep pigeons in the store......
Speaking of this, it was a little distracted, its body trembled slightly, and muttered: "Now I don't know how many are left, he used to like to go to the lake near the community, and a friend who made fake antique jade gave him a small cigarette stick with a copper mouth, and when he got angry, he would use it to beat me, no, hit the pigeon......"
Wei Xiaoyu kept "translating" what it said, and Gao Peng interrupted her and asked, "In addition to these, do you know the mobile phone number and ID number?"
Wei Xiaoyu shook his head, and when he wanted to know, I called him myself, and said, "He lived in B511 in Building 3 two years ago, and I heard that he has moved away now. ”
Gao Peng said: "Okay, this matter is handed over to me, pay a deposit of 2,000 yuan first!"
Wei Xiaoyu wanted to see that he would let himself give money now, and he wanted so much, so he asked rhetorically: "2000?
Gao Peng took down his arm leaning on the frame of the car, tilted his head and said: "Little girl, you don't know the market, right?" Check the phone number 3000, check the address 3000, check his family information from 8000, and send you the phone address. As for the deposit ......", he covered one hand to his mouth and said mysteriously: "There are people in my bureau, and I ask someone to inquire and make a point, and I don't have any money left." ”
Wei Xiaoyu looked at the only life-saving straw in front of him that could help him find clues, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a "straw bag", and when he was hesitating, Mr. Xiao pulled the zipper of her backpack next to him, ready to take out the money himself.
Gao Peng urged impatiently: "Beauty, I've been here for a long time, are you looking for it?"
Wei Xiaoyu frowned and whispered, "I really can't ...... Cheaper?"
Gao Peng said: "Do you want an address or a phone number?"
Wei Xiaoyu asked, "Can you guarantee that it is true and effective?"
Gao Peng said: "We can confirm the phone, the address is not necessarily, but if the address is not correct, we can give you the phone." There's something else going on here, you've got it figured out, call me, huh?" he put the towel back on his head, rode the electric tricycle, and drove away from the direction he had just come from.
The little gentleman tilted his body to look at the dangerous little fish, and the scalded paw was still on the chain of the backpack and asked, "Why didn't you give him money?"
Wei Xiaoyu thought that she had just spent 500 on the road this morning, and now she had to pay another 2,000 deposits, and she would have to pay for the money she "borrowed" the car when she went back, and the balance of her bank card might not be enough, she said: "I think it's too expensive." ”
Mr. Xiao turned his head and said, "If you want to do big things, you always have to invest, are you stingy?"
In fact, spending money is not afraid of spending money, but everyone doesn't want to spend their bank deposits so quickly, she said: "I don't know how long this road will take, what if it is spent so quickly?"
The little gentleman asked, "How much money do you have in total?"
Wei Xiaoyu replied, "Almost...... More than 10,000 pieces. ”
The little gentleman said, "Isn't two thousand enough?"
Wei Xiaoyu said: "But no one knows if if the mission is over if they find Wei Shengjian!"
Mr. Little said, "But life is like chocolate, you never know what you're going to get!" (The movie "Forrest Gump)" It always quotes famous sentences and lines, it's a bit like going crazy.
Wei Xiaoyu said with a wry smile: "I don't think you are using this sentence, we are spending money now, not investment." ”
Mr. Xiao blinked and said, "I promise that when you find Lao Wei, you will be rich." ”
Wei Xiaoyu only thought that it was a perfunctory thing to say in order to urge himself to pay a deposit to Gao Peng. But now there is really no other way, after thinking twice, I withdrew 3,000 yuan from a nearby ATM, called Gao Peng again, and told him that he had decided to ask for the other party's address. Because he also said just now, if the address is wrong, you can give the phone, so you can decide to be safer.
Hearing that she was going to pay the deposit, Gao Peng's attitude became more enthusiastic, and he made an appointment to meet at the place just now to withdraw the money in half an hour. Although the car was parked in the shade of the trees on the side of the road, it was still a little hot after staying for a long time, Wei Xiaoyu didn't want to continue waiting in the car, carrying a bag and a round cage, and hugged Mr. Xiao to a dessert shop at the entrance of the community.
The store was air-conditioned, and at the counter stood a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a floral shirt with her hair tied back. There is not much traffic near the community, and the attitude of the shops that do business with acquaintances is very good, and the proprietress sees a customer coming in, so she warmly greets her to see the menu. Wei Xiaoyu ordered a peanut smoothie, and Mr. Xiao got a snack and a handful of rice grains that the proprietress was cooking in the back kitchen.
After sitting down, Wei Xiaoyu took out the power bank from the backpack to charge the mobile phone, and then checked the condition of the little snake, it was no longer rolled up on the dumbbell, but climbed down and stuck to the wall of the cage, as if stretching its body, and the horizontal line of the abdomen was unobstructed at this time.
The little gentleman squatted beside the arm of the dangerous little fish, curled up with his left paw and dozed off, it was really tossing all the way. At the table next to them were three girls who looked like junior high school students, eating and laughing loudly, which made Wei Xiaoyu feel a trace of inexplicable intimacy in this remote afternoon.
