During the Spring Festival in Shanghai in 2012, Zhang Shicheng received an uninvited guest for the first time.

Turn back the clock to the summer of 2012.

The office of the joint defense team in Sharon, Dongguan, finally ushered in the moment of redecoration, Dai Qiang and all the staff withdrew, and it will become a new building in the future, with a canteen, training room, new computers, and video surveillance system. Temporary residence permit is no longer the main direction of daily investigation, after large-scale upgrades, the monitoring network has formed a coherent vision, coupled with the Internet, e-commerce type crimes have increased, and the Internet police will also be stationed. Before the upgrade, all files and documents will be moved out, and electronic files will be formed in the future. Dai Qiang accidentally discovered a phone number left by He Tiantian at that time, which was actually consistent with a kidney exchange patient from Shanghai in Chen Jing's case.

Dai Qiang immediately reflected the situation, although the case had been closed more than a year ago, but Sun Lei still agreed that Xiao Liu and Dai Qiang would study it together, and cross-regional coordination needed to file a case, and in order to simplify the procedure, it was decided to let the two go to Shanghai.

When the two came to Shanghai, they quickly found out that the mobile phone number was a person named Zhang Shicheng, forty-nine years old, divorced, and He Tiantian's uncle. Chen Jing's kidney was replaced two days after the incident, and after investigation, it was found that his kidney was replaced in a foreign-funded hospital. All the procedures are complete, and there are also procedures for the kidney source. But the two decided to talk about it anyway. Unexpectedly, this person has a strong sense of law and has his own personal lawyer, and the lawyer also gave all the documents to prove that the operation is legal. The two of them were stuck at this juncture and couldn't move, and Dai Qiang planned to go through He Tiantian. Later, after a simple investigation, He Tiantian was actually in France and could not return to China to cooperate with the investigation. The two found out He Tiantian's French contact information, and after calling, they revealed their identities, but they were scolded by her, saying that they were lawless, had no human rights, and even cared about coming abroad and the like. When she scolded comfortably, Dai Qiang explained the situation and apologized to her, saying that he was just doing things according to the rules before, and when He Tiantian was about to hang up the phone, Dai Qiang hurriedly mentioned her uncle's kidney replacement, He Tiantian only said that she didn't know about it, and asked them to find her uncle himself.

The two came back in a gloomy manner without even seeing each other, and were laughed at by Sun Lei and them. In fact, Zhang Shicheng had been contacted before the case was closed, and there was nothing suspicious about any information. Almost no one believes in this coincidence, the ex-girlfriend's organs were used on the current girlfriend's uncle.

Chu Li remembered that two months ago, he saw a verification message from He Tiantian adding himself in QQ, and now that he thinks about it, the verification message that day should have been a long time ago, maybe after Dai Qiang's phone call. Could it be that He Tiantian remembered something? He returned to his residence in the morning with this question, logged in to QQ with his mobile phone, and found the verification message, which really coincided with the time Dai Qiang said. And in addition to that verification message, there was a request to add it in 2011. That should have happened after He Tiantian just returned from Dongguan. The two days had expired, and Chu Li sent a request according to He Tiantian's number. Suddenly realized that it should be one o'clock in the morning in France, and it is estimated that there will be no response until the afternoon, if she still looks at QQ. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, there was a verified message.

"Camel, long time no see!" He Tiantian used an Athena's head.

"Hello, it's early hours of the morning in French time, don't you bother?"

"Stupid, I'm in Shanghai."

"Oh, that's good. I have something to ask you. After Chu Li sent it, he saw that "the other party is entering ......"

"You're looking for me just to help me?"

"Yes, I want to ask, I know that your uncle has had a kidney replacement, can you give me his phone number and let me call him to ask about the situation?"

"That's it again! You're not a cop! Besides, even if it is, it is to find his lawyer. I also don't want to go about Chen Jing, but this has nothing to do with my uncle. Come on, that's it, Ann! “

Chu Li saw her avatar darken. After a while, it began to change color and beat violently. clicked, "If you come to Shanghai, I may be able to arrange for you to meet with him." “

Train tickets are not very easy to buy, and the fastest way to buy them is two weeks later, when it is already very close to the Spring Festival.

Taking advantage of the past two weeks, Chu Li took some time to visit Grandma Ye, and as promised, asked Wu Siying to get her bank card number and transferred 50,000 yuan into her account.

Then began to work the most important, rented a small warehouse of 300 square meters, the rent is relatively cheap, the place is naturally very remote, this is still to Uncle Ye to help recommend the rent, the original owner originally built out to do grain processing, and later demolished and made a fortune, it was idle there, and even the caretaker was too lazy to ask. Spent all my savings, bought a second-hand CNC lathe, a second-hand milling machine, two new bench drills, and a bunch of raw materials, plus a few old workbenches and some tools. Finally, a processing plant with a very earthy name was registered - Churong Mold Processing Factory. After all these busy, he finally became penniless and increasingly poor, and opened a credit card, because he did not have any assets that could be pledged, and the credit card could only be overdrawn by 30,000 yuan. This is already all his net worth. Sun Ning came to see it once, he looked at those lathes left and right, envious and at the same time secretly sweated for Chu Li, all of his net worth can pay a down payment for a house, and now it is smashed here, the risk is undoubtedly great.

Chu Li, with Sun Ning's help, got the first order, which is expected to be delivered in February next year. Five small fixtures, a transaction price of 10,000 yuan, and the size of the drawings are all provided in place, and they only need to start the machine processing. According to TMK's cost accounting method, Chu Li does all the work himself, not counting labor, and the profit is 30%. But this kind of petty fight, it didn't take long for me to start drinking the northwest wind. The decision to fight against the tide did not seem to stimulate him to become more radical and hysterical, but still went to Shanghai according to his plan and returned to Hubei for the New Year.

The day before I went to Shanghai, I went to visit Grandma Ye's shop (at this time, Grandma Ye had moved out of the hospital and the roast meat shop had reopened), and met Xiao Ye, who said in front of Grandma Ye and Xiao Ye that he would not rent a room in Houjie.

"Chu Li, where are you going?" Grandma Ye also seemed to know that he had lost his job.

"I'm not going anywhere, Grandma." Chu Li smiled, "I'm still in Dongguan, and I'm still in Chang'an." ”

"Then where you don't want to live? If you don't pay rent, we can rest assured that you will live there. ”

"I know, but I have a place to live."

Grandma Ye turned her head to look at Xiao Ye who was standing behind her, and looked at Chu Li with great incomprehension. "What's going on?"

"I rented a warehouse, bought a few machines, and tried to do some processing on my own. I'm staying in the warehouse for the time being. ”

"Oh~, oops, Chu is out of you. That's a good thing. Grandma Ye finally loosened her tight brows and still looked back at Xiao Ye. Seeing that Xiao Ye didn't say a word, his expression was indifferent, and he began to worry again. "Is the warehouse good to live in?"

"It's okay, I don't have any furniture, just a bed anyway."

"Oh."

Grandma Ye went to the kitchen to boil water, and there were more and more customers in the store. Xiao Ye was cutting roasted meat at the stall, while Aunt Li was busy serving meals to the guests. After Chu Li finished eating, he walked to the kitchen to say goodbye to Grandma Ye. Grandma Ye followed out, and at this time, Xiao Ye came to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I refuse to overturn the house." Grandma said, "Monkey, monkey." ”

Chu Li said no need. Xiao Ye ignored it, still walking outside the store with a black face.

"Rejection...... Refuse. Grandma Ye saw Xiao Ye's emotions and said to Chu Li with a smile.

Xiao Ye's Fit has been redeemed, except for helping Grandma Ye buy goods, basically this car is what she uses. Xiao Ye didn't say a word along the way, his face was fine at first, he drove seriously, and his face became more and more smelly in the back. Her eyes were deliberately turned away, and Chu Li was a little worried about whether she didn't see the road when she sat in the co-pilot.

"Xiao Ye's face is so ugly today! Alas, it's not as beautiful as it used to be. Chu Li pretended to be relaxed and said, "My mouth also pouted, and it is estimated that it will be lifted to the sky." ”

Xiao Ye ignored him, but turned his face away for a few minutes.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to drive the car into the ditch. Well...... Finally poisoned her brother. “

Xiao Ye snorted and laughed. Then put the face on the plate again.

Chu Li knew that she was angry and moved out by herself. But now I need to save money, and it's a pity that such a large warehouse is not fully utilized. Although the rent is small, after all, it is also an expense, although Grandma Ye does not ask herself to pay the rent, but living in vain must violate her moral bottom line. Another point, Xiao Ye is Sun Lei's girlfriend after all, and he will slowly keep his distance.

When she arrived in Chang'an, Chu Li thought that Xiao Ye would go back after throwing herself out of the car, but she didn't expect her to park the car again and follow her upstairs. Chu Li said to Xiao Ye: "Stingy ghost, don't you want to go back to help grandma?" “

"I see where you're moving, don't you want me to help you move?"

"Well, let me see, what can you move?" Chu Li deliberately laughed at her for having no strength.

"I have a car, and I have more strength than you."

The two went upstairs to pack their things, and Chu Li suddenly realized that there was no way to cook in the warehouse, and there was no gas. He asked Xiao Ye to leave all the kitchen utensils, and he couldn't use them himself. Then I brought only clothes, shoes, towels and toothbrushes. That will not be popular to break away, but the wandering people never need chicken soup for the soul to warn themselves, and everything is simple, which is the tacit understanding of all people who break into Dongguan. I really have nothing, and it only takes an hour to pack everything when I move. It's no problem to take a bath in the warehouse, but when I arrived in Dongguan, I haven't taken a hot bath. So I didn't even take a bucket, but just brought a basin.

Xiao Ye hugged the quilt and pillow, only revealing one face, stretched his neck, and prepared to follow downstairs.

"I'll go two more times, don't move, you can get to the first floor in case you fall and roll down."

Xiao Ye ignored him with a dark face and went out directly. Chu Li hurriedly grabbed the front with a large bag of clothes, walked to the staircase, and ran back to close the door, and when he arrived at the door, he took one last look inside, and a touch of golden sunlight shone from the balcony into the pane and fell in the living room. Chu Li suddenly thought of Chen Jing and Chen Si again.

This time, Chang Chu left the car, and along the way, Xiao Ye saw the buildings that were gradually disappearing, and the streets turned into barren dirt roads, revealing the horizon of yellow dirt.

"Are you going to sell me?"

"Do you want to sell it by the pound?" Chu Li smiled hesitantly, "There is too little meat, and you can't make a few dollars." “

"Where is this?"

"You Dongguan!"

"Why haven't I been?"

"Then let's be a farmhouse today."

"I don't know the way back later."

"Don't worry, I'll ride and help you lead the way."

"Cycling?"

"That's right."

As soon as Xiaoye arrived at the warehouse, he cried.

"Why are you looking for such a remote and broken place? Is there good security here? Are you sick? You don't have a job, isn't it good for you to get another job? ”

Chu Li lowered his head and opened the rusty lock on the warehouse without saying a word.

The rolling shutter door with strange phone numbers on it and various pieces of paper rattled and rattled inside, revealing a cleanly cleaned floor and several neatly arranged machines. A strong smell of engine oil greeted him, and Xiao Ye saw Chu Li throw the quilt into the corner of the warehouse, where there were two wooden slats nailed to a tray, and several layers of sponges were placed on it. I guess this is his bed. The machines are a little old, but some of the tools are brand new, reflecting the harsh light against the setting sun. An old bicycle that was more than 10 years old was leaning against the wall next to another unopened roller shutter. She looked up overhead, beams exposed, crisscrossed and crisscrossed.

"Are you going to sleep here?" She walked into the corner and pointed to the two trays.

"Yes." Chu Li threw his clothes on the "bed".

"What are you going to do with your meal?"

"There are a lot of partners next to me. It's okay. “

"You heard what grandma said, you don't have to pay rent, this is not a place to live, you can do things here, but it is not convenient to eat and live, and if you recruit people in the future, this is not like it, right?"

"You're very thoughtful. But I'm not going to hire people right now, I'm going to do it alone. I have to live here, or what if these machines are stolen? This is only temporary. ”

"A lot of these machines are so old, no one wants them, right?"

"You don't understand, my whole net worth is here." Chu Li put his hand on the cover of the milling machine.

"A pile of broken copper and iron...... Xiao Ye pouted, and also used his hand to fiddle with it.

"Don't move, these machines aren't gentle. I can't afford to hurt you. “

Chu Li blocked her hand.

"As for it? Baby-like. ”

In this area, there are several people who open mold processing workshops like Chu Li, and the scale is slightly larger than Chu Li's. With a stable source of customers, Chu Li has seen the things they process, which are not very precise, and are much rougher than the ones he purchased when he was in TMK. But the cost and price are low. Seeing Chu Li indifferent when he transported the machine in, maybe he saw too much coming and going.

Chu Li rode his bicycle to lead Xiao Ye back to the main road, and then pedaled back along the road with no street lights and potholes, it was already dusk, and from a distance, his warehouse was closest to the side of the road, smaller and more dilapidated compared to others, but more conspicuous. The sunlight shone from behind the warehouse, outlining the outline of the warehouse clearly, and Chu Li saw a short man standing at the door of the warehouse looking at him, with two bags of things beside him.

"Boss!" Chunlai recognized Chu Li and shouted loudly, the sound hit the valley in the distance, and then came back, as if there was one more person shouting.

Chunlai was dismissed.

Zhang Guoqiang gave him an extra two months' salary, saying that his temple was too small to afford to hire so many people. Chun came to see the busy workers, and in the sympathetic eyes of the workers, he left the factory without looking back, and bought a train ticket back to Dongguan on the same day. After returning to Dongguan, Fan Ming told him about Chu Li's dismissal, and after he asked Sun Ning to understand the situation, he knew that Chu Li was going to do it himself, and asked Sun Ning to take the address, so he came over to take a look. He didn't have Xiao Ye's pessimism at all, walked around the warehouse twice, covered the sun with his hands and saw the equipment inside through the glass, and was ecstatic, thinking to himself, good guy, this is a small factory.

The two sat in the small food stall, ordered a few dishes, and asked for beer in the spring.

"Boss, you're so bold." Chunlai gave Chu Li a thumbs up.

"To be honest, you've got to look for a job, I can't get paid. When I have some scale, if you don't dislike it, come and help me. ”

"Do you owe anything?"

"Not at the moment, but it's penniless. Brother Ning found me the first order, and it will be delivered in March next year. ”

"That's fine. Is there any pressure? ”

"Nope."

Chunlai talked to Chu Li about how good Jiangsu's economic development is, how perfect the infrastructure such as roads and bridges are, and on the other hand, he also admired the habit of staying in Dongguan, and the subtropical marine climate is comfortable. In the end, he drank five bottles of beer, burped, began to sing, reached out and took out a bank card from his chest, handed it to Chu Li, and said with a big tongue: "Boss, there are 50,000 yuan here." I earned 100,000 yuan in Changzhou, and I will give you 50,000 yuan. “

Chu Li helped him stuff the card into his pocket and zip it up. I paid for the meal and helped Chunlai back to the warehouse. After making the "bed", Chunlai lay down, and after a while, he was heard snoring. Chu Li sent a text message to Fan Ming, telling her that Chunlai was here. Start packing up. Suddenly, I felt a cramping pain in my abdomen, and I was actually in a cold sweat. Struggling to stand up and drinking a few sips of water, the pain disappeared miraculously. Energetic, he carried the bucket to the faucet at the back of the warehouse to take a cold shower. Stripped off to only his shorts, the icy water made him completely sober. Looking at the bright lights in other people's warehouses, the sound of rumbling machines, and the screeching noise of cutting metal came in bursts. He stood under the faucet, reminiscing about the pain of the drama just now.

The next morning, when Chunlai woke up, he saw Chu Li brewing two packs of instant noodles and eating them with a bowl of snoring. Seeing that he was awake, he pointed to another bowl with his chopsticks. Chunlai didn't brush his teeth, walked back and forth in the warehouse while eating, looked at the machines, squatted down from time to time, put his head under the machine, and flipped through the neat drawings arranged by Chu Li after a while.

"Is this the blueprint that Brother Ning brought? It's not easy, five 10,000 yuan, will it be a loss? Boss, you can teach me how to operate these machines, can I try them? ”

"You see, I made one, in a cardboard box on the shelf. I bought a lot of materials, you want to play with the machine yourself, you must pay attention to safety, take a closer look at the operation instructions. ”

Chunlai put the palm-sized clamp in his hand, measured it with a vernier caliper, and said, "No problem, how long did it take you?" “

"More than a day."

"How did you make that surface?"

"Our lathe is broken, but it can process curved surfaces. is programmable. ”

"It's a little bit less accurate."

"There is good precision next door." Chu Li smiled.

Chunlai touched the card in his pocket, "Don't you want money?" ”

"Your wife should have been kept." Chu Li raised his hand, and a bunch of keys drew an arc in mid-air, which was firmly grasped by Chunlai in his hand. "Put it away, you can come and play if you have nothing to do. I'm going back to Wuhan and I'm going back after the Chinese New Year. ”

"Okay, I'll watch this place for you. I don't go home for the Chinese New Year. ”

Fan Ming's family is building a house, Fan Ming has no place to live even if he goes home, Chunlai originally planned to take her back to his own house, but thinking of his brother and sister-in-law, he also decided to slow down for the time being. So I plan to stay in Dongguan this year.
