The next morning, Zhou Lei took the sample to Ruian Company and asked the technicians to identify it.

After identification, the samples provided by Liao Wenchang were indeed high-quality steel. So, Zhou Lei immediately called Liao Wenchang to finalize the deal.

Early on Saturday morning, Zhou Lei drove to the Shuangyangshan intersection of the South Ring Road. He thought he had left early enough, but he still caught up with the traffic jam and ended up half an hour later than scheduled.

Liao Wenchang was anxiously standing at the intersection waiting, and when he saw Zhou Lei, he complained and said, "You are here." I've been waiting here for half an hour, and if I get a creditor or someone from the court, I won't be able to escape! ”

Zhou Lei glanced at Liao Wenchang, this time Liao Wenchang was not only "fully armed", but also deliberately wore a fake beard, if you don't look carefully, you really can't recognize it.

He smiled and said: "With the honor of Mr. Liao, even if he is seen, he can't recognize it, so what is there to worry about...... Okay, stop talking nonsense, get in the car! ”

Liao Wenchang answered and got into the car.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Zhou Lei saw a tall boundary stone erected on the side of the road through the car window, and then walked further and entered Qufeng County.

He asked Liao Wenchang: "Mr. Liao, did you hide all the goods in Qufeng County?" ”

Liao Wenchang said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is really smart, and he can guess it." Now, I won't hide it from you, I hid the goods with a distant relative in Qufeng County. ”

Zhou Lei nodded his head: "Mr. Liao is really good at doing business!" The storage fee in Qufeng County is lower than that in Dongzhou, and you put it with your relatives, so the storage fee should be cheaper, right? ”

Liao Wenchang didn't answer, but just laughed twice.

After walking for nearly an hour, the two came to Wutong Town in the south of Qufeng County and stopped in front of a factory not far from the town.

Liao Wenchang got out of the car and said a few words to the doorman, and the doorman opened the electric door.

Under the guidance of Liao Wenchang, Zhou Lei drove the car to the warehouse area and parked in front of one of the warehouses.

Liao Wenchang took out the key, opened the warehouse door, and led Zhou Lei in.

As soon as I entered the warehouse, I saw piles of steel neatly arranged, like a huge chessboard, and like buildings standing neatly, which was also quite spectacular.

Zhou Lei roughly counted, there were sixty or seventy piles of steel.

Liao Wenchang led Zhou Lei to check one by one, and introduced as he walked: "This relative of mine is a warehouser. In the past two years, business has not been good, and half of the warehouse is idle, so I will store the steel with him. I have two storerooms, and in addition to this one, there is also one on the north side. ”

Zhou Lei stopped, stood in the aisle in the middle of the steel, and said with some admiration: "Mr. Liao is really good at choosing a place!" The people of the Dongzhou Court can't think of this, and your relatives won't betray you easily, your goods are here, it's really foolproof! ”

Liao Wenchang smiled: "Something like this, don't you have to rely on relatives to help" said, leading Zhou Lei to continue to check.

After reading the two warehouses, Zhou Lei took a few photos with his mobile phone, and then said: "Tomorrow is Sunday, even if the people in the court go to work, they are working overtime in the office, and they generally don't come out, so let's come tomorrow to pull the goods, and then settle the bill together." ”

Liao Wenchang nodded hurriedly and repeatedly: "Okay, then let's settle it." ”

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhou Lei rushed to the door of the warehouse with the transport team.

Liao Wenchang stayed at a relative's house last night, one step earlier than Zhou Lei.

Although there is a lot of steel, Zhou Lei brought enough transport trucks, and the transport trucks ran twice, and the steel was finished in one morning.

After sending off the last transport vehicle, Zhou Lei handed Liao Wenchang an Agricultural Bank card: "This is 6 million, and the password is written on the back of the bank card." If you are not sure, you can go to the bank ATM to check it. ”

Liao Wenchang was a little uneasy, and said: "You won't just walk on the front foot, and change the password on the back foot, right?" Then I'll have nothing to do. ”

Zhou Lei put the bank card into the pocket of Liao Wenchang's chest, patted it, and said, "Mr. Liao rest assured!" There are rules in one line, and we will not break the rules. Otherwise, who will do this kind of business with us in the future? ”

Seeing that Liao Wenchang was still not at ease, he said again: "Okay, I'll accompany you to the bank in a while, and it's up to you if you want to transfer money, change your password or take out the money." In this way, Mr. Liao should be relieved, right? ”

Hearing this, Liao Wenchang was relieved.

After coming out of the bank branch, Zhou Lei was about to go back to Dongzhou to report the situation to Tan Wenming, but as soon as he opened the car door, he suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked at Liao Wenchang: "Mr. Liao, do you want to play a game?" ”

"Games? What game? Liao Wenchang thought he had heard it wrong at first, but after listening to Zhou Lei, he agreed.

It was Saturday, and Chen Molei called Li Jizhou, Liang Zhongxin, and Shangguan Yun to his office early in the morning, and said, "It is said that our Executive Board should rest tomorrow, but I just received information that Liao Wenchang has appeared in Dongzhou in the past two days. He has disappeared for so long, but now he suddenly appeared, there must be something strange in this, and it is likely to be related to the case of Yongchang Company.

So, I want our Executive Board members to take a break tomorrow and go out to find someone, maybe there will be a harvest. ”

Liang Zhong was confident and straightforward, and was the first to question: "Bureau Chen, the permanent population of Dongzhou City alone is nearly 200,000, and the urban area is so large, and Liao Wenchang's whereabouts are uncertain, just let us out of the Executive Bureau, isn't that looking for a needle in a haystack?" ”

Li Jizhou was also worried: "Everyone has been very tired recently, and if you go to find someone tomorrow, will the comrades have any opinions?" Besides, whether Liao Wenchang can find it or not, I have to say two things. ”

Chen Molei thought that Shangguan Yun was going to follow along, but she didn't say a word.

Chen Molei is a little strange, this chatterbox usually chatters, how did he become dumb today.

"Shangguan, what is your opinion?" Chen Molei couldn't help but ask her.

Shangguan Yun was silent for a while before he said: "Even if Liao Wenchang appears, who knows if he is still in Dongzhou, if he has already left, so many of us will go out, it will not be in vain."

In my opinion, it is better to respect everyone's opinions, and if there are those who are willing to participate, we welcome them; If there are those who don't want to participate, we should not force them. After all, in addition to work, everyone also has their own business. ”

Li Jizhou and Liang Zhongxin felt that it made sense and both agreed.

Chen Molei has always attached importance to the opinions of his subordinates, and Shangguan Yun's words are indeed reasonable, so he said: "Okay, then do what Shangguan wants." ”

Then, he took out the notebook from the drawer and said, "Since we can't determine Liao Wenchang's whereabouts, let's follow the old way - squatting." Let's make it clear first and see who and where we need to watch. ”

After discussion, the four of them unanimously decided to focus only on Liao Wenchang's relatives who do business, because relatives who do not do business are of little use to Liao Wenchang, and they rarely contact each other.

As for Liao Wenchang's original business friends, there is no need to keep an eye on them, because at this time, the word friend is already in the past tense for Liao Wenchang.

After screening, a total of 5 people were eligible. Overall, it's not too much work.

But there is another question to consider, do you need to squat at night?

Chen Molei thought twice and decided to squat at night, because he missed this opportunity, and he didn't know when the next opportunity would be.

In terms of personnel arrangement, in addition to the 4 of them, at least 8 people are needed to achieve the configuration of more than two people per group. The gap of these 8 people was handed over by Chen Molei to Li Jizhou and Liang Zhongxin to solve.

Both of them were very conscientious and responsible, and in the afternoon of the same day, all the personnel arrangements were in place.

In the evening of the same day, everyone reached the designated position according to the squatting plan.

But after staring at it for a whole night, he didn't see Liao Wenchang's shadow.

Early on Sunday morning, at the gate of the Wenhuayuan community, Li Jizhou and Yang Le were eating breakfast in the car when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the car window.

Yang Le looked up and saw that it was the object they were going to focus on - Liao Wenchang's cousin Liao Qichang.

He didn't know whether to roll down the window or not, turned his head and asked Li Jizhou with his eyes, and saw that Li Jizhou nodded, so he rolled down the window.

"Brother Xiao Yang, it's really you!" Maybe it was because Yang Le helped him recover part of his debts last time, and when he saw Yang Le, Liao Qichang was very enthusiastic, so he had to take Yang Le and Li Jizhou to sit at home.

But both said they were going to have something to do.

Liao Qichang is proficient in human affairs, and when he saw the attitude of the two, he guessed the intention of the two: "Are you here to keep an eye on me and see if Liao Wenchang will come to me?" If so, you might as well go back. Let me tell you the truth, although Liao Wenchang and I are cousins, we don't actually have any feelings, and it is impossible for him to come to me. Even if you keep staring here, you're going to end up working in vain. ”

As he spoke, Liao Qichang accidentally caught a glimpse of a plastic bag on the seat in the back of the car, which contained an unfinished bun and a bag of mustard.

This scene made Liao Qichang suddenly feel uncomfortable, and felt that the two people in front of him were both admirable and a little pitiful. He hesitated for a moment and decided to help the two of them.

He leaned forward and said, "Actually, Liao Wenchang did come back two days ago, but I also happened to meet him." He didn't say much, just said that he was going to Qufeng County. I didn't care about it at the time, but later I remembered that he had a distant relative in Wutong Town, Qufeng County, and I remembered that he seemed to be in the warehousing business, and if Liao Wenchang hid any large property, he might put it there. You might as well check it out, but I can't guarantee that you'll get something out of it.

However, let's talk about one thing first, even if you have gains, don't say that I told you. ”

After speaking, Liao Qichang sent the address to Yang Le, said a few polite words, and left.

Li Jizhou felt that the matter was important and immediately reported it to Chen Molei by telephone.

Chen Molei also felt that Liao Wenchang's appearance was likely to be related to that distant relative in Wutong Town, Qufeng County, and decided to rush over immediately.

Without further ado, he called Zhao Weishan, deputy director of the Executive Bureau, and asked him to arrange for a few police officers to come over to take up temporary posts, and then set off with the original team.

The convoy galloped all the way, and in less than an hour, it reached the southern mountainous area of Qufeng County.

It is the early spring, the willow trees on the roadside are showing their buds, and the apricot trees on the hillside are waiting to be released, and the sun shines on it, making it a unique sight.

If it was usual, Chen Molei would definitely stop and take a few landscape photos, but today he was not interested in it at all.

After arriving in Wutong Town, will there be any gains? What will happen? Everything is still unknown. But his intuition and experience told him that this was the time he had to go.

When I arrived at the town of Wutong, it was already 10 o'clock.

Although the sun is shining, the temperature in the mountains is noticeably lower, and the erratic mountain breeze adds to the chill.

The people in the mountains are real, Chen Molei and others inquired all the way, and soon found the factory of Liao Wenchang's distant relative.

Chen Molei showed the doorman his official card and explained his intention.

The doorman saw that it was from the public family, and not only let Chen Molei and others in, but also led them to check one warehouse after another.

The doorman is honest and honest, and he will answer whatever he asks. According to him, someone just pulled a batch of steel from here yesterday, and it seems that it came from Dongzhou.

When Chen Molei heard this, he immediately asked him if there was any monitoring in and around the factory.

The doorman said that there was one in the factory. But Chen Molei checked yesterday's surveillance video, but did not find Liao Wenchang.

That is to say, it is unlikely that Liao Wenchang transported the batch of steel yesterday, because normally, the owner of the goods has to be present to count and inspect the goods when they are pulled away from the warehouse.

"Has anyone ever been here to store steel before?" Chen Molei asked.

The doorman thought for a moment and said, "I remember, there is another person who has stored steel here, but the steel has been taken away for a while." ”

Chen Molei guessed that that person might be Liao Wenchang, so he checked the surveillance video forward, but he watched it from beginning to end, but he still didn't see Liao Wenchang's picture.

He asked the doorman how he couldn't find the footage. The doorman recalled carefully and said, "Probably, those steels should have been taken away for more than a month." The person who installed the surveillance said that the surveillance footage can only be stored for a maximum of one month, and after a month, it will be automatically deleted. ”

Chen Molei asked again: "Is there any surveillance around here?" ”

The doorman shook his head and said, "No." It's a remote place, and if it's not necessary, no one will monitor it. ”

Liang Zhongxin took out a photo from his bag and handed it to the doorman: "Take a closer look, is there this person among the people who came to pull steel that time?" ”

The doorman looked at it carefully for a moment and said, "It seems to be, but I'm not sure that they all wore hats and glasses when they came that day, and they couldn't see their faces clearly." ”

Liang Zhongxin asked: "Then do you think these people are suspicious?" ”

The doorman shook his head: "I don't think so." It was cold, and the mountain wind was strong, so many people were dressed like that. ”

Chen Molei then asked, "Have you paid attention to their license plate numbers?" Is it local, or is it out-of-town? ”

The doorman said, "I didn't pay attention to their license plate number, I just heard them say they were from Dongzhou." ”

Chen Molei asked again, but he couldn't ask anything.

He arranged for Yang Le to make a record for the doorman, and he asked the doorman for the boss's mobile phone number and called.

The other party said that Liao Wenchang did store steel in his factory, but he was completely unclear about the fact that Liao Wenchang was the person subject to execution.

Chen Molei wanted to ask him to make a record, but the other party only said that he was out of town, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Chen Molei asked the doorman about the boss's residence. The doorman said that their boss lives in Qufeng County, and rarely goes back to his hometown in Wutong Town, and he doesn't know where the boss lives in the county.

In the end, Chen Molei and others had no choice but to return in a huff.

When I returned to Dongzhou, it was already half past 12 noon, Chen Molei invited everyone to have a simple lunch, and then went home for a lunch break.

On the way home, question marks kept popping up in Chen Molei's brain: Wang Jinchao's information will not be wrong, and Liao Wenchang must have appeared in Dongzhou recently. But why did he appear at this time? Is it because of the batch of steel in Wutong Town, Qufeng County? But the steel had already been transferred more than a month ago.

Is this a coincidence, or did I let someone play it?
