After leaving the scene of the crime, I walked along this road, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I saw the plaque of Zhao Laosi's barbecue restaurant.

Judging from the time of walking, it is also in line with the speculation of the time when Sun Hairong was killed in the alley and the route home.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Laosi's barbecue restaurant has just started to open, a small blower at the door is helping to burn charcoal, and the dark stove is emitting smoke from time to time, bursting out of sparks.

The three of them walked straight into the door of the barbecue restaurant, and the boss greeted them very warmly.

"The three of you are sitting inside, what do you want to eat?"

The boss was a middle-aged man, not tall, with a somewhat fat figure, standing there like a gas canister of fine art.

"I'm not eating, I'll ask you something."

Lu Ke waved his hand and said while looking at the environment of the store.

The shopkeeper looked the three people up and down, and when he heard them say that they would not eat, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Soon, his eyes fell on the criminal police officer at the back, who was wearing a police uniform.

"You're the police?"

The shopkeeper was a little dazed for a while, and asked weakly.

Lu Ke nodded, and at the same time, Mo Yufei showed his ID.

"You're here for the chengguan, right?"

The shopkeeper raised his head, trying to meet Lu Ke's level-level gaze, and asked with some curiosity.

Lu Ke lowered his head slightly, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Do you know about this? ”

"I know, early this morning, the police came to my store to adjust the surveillance, I was sleeping at home, I was in a daze, I heard that the chengguan who came to eat with me last night died." The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and kept talking.

Lu Ke waved his hand again, interrupting the shopkeeper's broken thoughts: "Tell me about last night." ”

The criminal police had already come to ask this question this morning, and the shopkeeper was about to repeat what he had said in the morning, when Lu Ke added: "Let's talk about a few chengguan in detail." ”

"How many chengguan are there?" The shopkeeper was stunned: "They ......"

Mo Yufei, who was on the side, opened her mouth and added: "Do they often come to your store to eat?" ”

The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "They come often, but the people who come are not fixed, but there are two officials inside, and there are two of them every time they come." ”

Hearing this, Mo Yufei hurriedly took out the photos of captain Sun Hairong and vice captain Zheng Wenxiong and handed them to the store owner for identification.

"yes, it's just the two of them." The shopkeeper pointed to the photo and nodded repeatedly.

"In addition to the fact that they often come to your store to eat, do you have any other contact with each other?" Mo Yufei continued to ask.

"Yes, my shop is under their control. For those of us who do business, we inevitably deal with the chengguan on weekdays. The shopkeeper smiled.

Judging from his performance, it seems that there is not so much resentment between him and the chengguan, and he should not have encountered the violent law enforcement of the chengguan.

"Looks like you're on good personal terms." Lu Ke took a step and paced up and down the shop.

"Personal Relationship...... That's it......" The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and explained, "Those who do business and those who wear official clothes must always ......."

"Understood." Lu Ke naturally walked in front of the shopkeeper and said lightly.

"Whew!" The shopkeeper looked at the faces of the three policemen who were not normal, presumably they were not the same as the chengguan, and immediately changed his tone: "I can't help it, if I don't have a good relationship with them these years, I can't open this store." ”

This sentence aroused Lu Ke's interest, he walked to the front desk and turned his head to look at him: "Is the power of the chengguan so great?" ”

"You are the police, I don't know what these chengguan do. If you want to set up two tables at the door of a barbecue restaurant like me, you have to get the consent of the chengguan. But if you want them to agree, you have to give some benefits. As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked up to Lu Ke, and very naturally took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed Lu Ke one.

"My small shop, I will have to rely on you to take care of it in the future, hehe, take care of it."

Lu Ke glanced down at the cigarette in his hand and smiled faintly: "Do all your merchants want to give benefits to the chengguan?" ”

Seeing that Lu Ke didn't take the cigarette, the shopkeeper stuck the cigarette on his ear and smiled: "I don't know the situation of other people's families, but it's basically like this." ”

"Do you accept both the captain and the vice-captain?" Lu Ke asked again.

"Accept them all, and the people under your hands will also accept them, isn't there a saying? Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult. The shopkeeper kept smiling.

He seems to have become accustomed to this kind of life, and the whole person is very humble, looking at the faces of others to live.

It's just that Lu Ke is really not used to his style, and said to him with a smile: "You are operating legally, don't steal or rob, open a store and make money to live." In the future, straighten your waist, don't bow down again, no one can do anything to you. ”

After listening to Lu Ke's very serious words, the shopkeeper was instantly stunned, he didn't seem to expect that there would be a person wearing an official clothes who would speak with such an attitude.

"This is the head of the Jing'an City Criminal Investigation Detachment, who is here to investigate the case, and the official is bigger than the city management. Moreover, the urban management law enforcement brigade has begun to rectify, and there will never be such a situation again in the future! The criminal policeman behind him explained the reason for the matter to the shopkeeper in the most easy-to-understand words of the common people.

The criminal policeman's family is also a vendor, and after hearing the words of the shopkeeper, he deeply realized it, and subconsciously straightened his waist and raised his voice when he spoke.

The shopkeeper still looked at the three of them blankly, and after reacting for a while, he said with some excitement: "Really?!" That's great! I've long seen those chengguan unpleasant! Every day with chicken feathers as an arrow, he can bully honest people. ”

"Don't beat people to death with a stick, not all city managers in the world are like this. This is just an isolated phenomenon, don't worry, it will be dealt with. Mo Yufei hurriedly added.

Lu Ke glanced at Mo Yufei, looking at her extremely strong desire to survive, and couldn't help laughing.

"Did they say anything when they had dinner last night? Did you mention anything about recent law enforcement? Lu Ke froze and looked at the shopkeeper again.

"Let's sit down and talk."

The shopkeeper pulled out a chair, beckoned the three of them to sit down, and shouted to the back kitchen: "Who's that...... Have a pot of tea! Turn on the air conditioner, is there a watermelon? Cut some watermelon! ”

At this moment, the shopkeeper finally took the three policemen as his own and carefully described to them what happened last night.

Mo Yufei hurriedly took out a pen and paper and prepared to record.

At this moment, she also understood that the relationship between the police and the people directly affected whether they were telling the truth or not.

"Last night, when the seven of them came, they ordered a lot of food and a lot of wine. Looking at their faces, several people didn't seem to be in a good mood, and later listened to them chatting, as if they had a quarrel with someone in the process of law enforcement. The shopkeeper said earnestly.

Mo Yufei hurriedly took this key clue and stared at the shopkeeper seriously.

"At first, they talked about a court verdict some time ago, and I didn't know much about the specific situation, but they didn't seem to be very satisfied with the verdict, and they kept mentioning what kind of murder paid for their lives. At this time, another person said, don't worry, on the territory of Lehua County, this kind of thing will never happen. The shopkeeper reminisced earnestly.
