Taxi at night

Chapter 119, the magical section
Since Lao Du and his son opened the store, business was not good at first.One is that it is new, and there are basically no regular customers, and no one knows about it; the other is that the technology is a bit trendy, and there is no rich experience, so that the business has not improved for more than half a year, and the operation has been bleak. It used to not even pay the rent.

Fortunately, when I drove a taxi, I made some money, which was enough for the father and son to toss for two or three years.After the spring of this year, the business has gradually improved, and gradually there are repeat customers, and the father and son have long-lost smiles on their faces.

"Dad, I don't think it's enough just to change the tires. We should buy some new equipment and add some other income. How much money can we earn by just keeping a shop?" After all, Xiao Du is a young man, thinking about how to earn money. The money is right.

"You, don't be too ambitious. I haven't heard people often say: You have to eat food bite by bite, and earn money slowly. You always want to eat a fat man with one bite. Don't lose the capital when you don't earn the money."

"This is what I think, buy a motorized tricycle, set up a mobile car repair, and earn some quick money." Xiao Du still said his plan and thought it was a good idea.In fact, it is not surprising that many tire repair shops are also doing this kind of business.

"Well, it can be considered. It's just not in a hurry right now, let's wait and see." Lao Du didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to let go easily.Once the business fails, the loss is all white money.

"And buy another car flushing machine and put it in front of the store, it can also attract some business."

"Okay, this is fine, I'll buy it tomorrow, and I can earn ten or eight yuan a day by washing people's cars, at least covering the rent." This time Lao Du readily agreed, and felt that his son worked harder than before. , I was very relieved.

While the two were sitting in the store thinking about their business, Lu Ren called: "Xiao Du, my jack is broken, do you have time now...Come here and help me change the tire."

"Yes! Where are you? I'll go right away." Xiao Du immediately replied when he heard Lu Ren's voice.

"This place is a bit out of the way. It's near Erlei Village. I wonder if you've been here?"

"Oh, I've been to that place. Brother, wait a moment." Xiao Du hurriedly packed up his things and hurried away on a scooter.

The friendship between the two was really good. They used to be colleagues, and Lu Ren helped Xiao Du a lot. Now he opened his mouth to ask for help, but Xiao Du didn't say anything, so he drove there immediately.

On the way to Erlei Village, there is a three-fork intersection. There is a small market town here.There is a repair shop in the town, covering small areas such as bicycles, motorcycles, three-wheeled motor vehicles, and trucks... The service items include tire repair and inflation, sheet metal painting, electric welding and oxygen welding... and it's the only one, don't No semicolons.

There is a newly built cement road here, the road surface is not wide, when you pass the wrong car, you need to crush the grass on the side of the road, otherwise it will be difficult to pass calmly.Lu Ren had been punctured twice in this place, which made him very annoyed and helpless.

The tire was punctured again tonight, and there is a spare tire at the back of the carriage. Originally, a jack was needed to remove the tire and replace it. But the jack failed, and it broke at this time. home.

The last time the tire was punctured, it was because it was crushed on a wooden board with nails, the nails were very new, and it was obvious that someone put it on the road on purpose, waiting for some unlucky person to hit it.

What is it this time?Lu Ren squatted on the ground and carefully observed the appearance of the tire. After searching for more than ten minutes, he finally pulled out a small steel piece from the inside of the tire, and put it under the headlights for a closer look: there were obviously cutting marks. The small pieces of broken steel slag that fell off were irregular in shape, with barbs one by one, looking extremely sharp.Lu Ren gasped... No wonder the tire quickly became flat.

Such steel slag is very destructive to tires, and the wounds caused are irregular in shape, which is simply a sharp weapon for waste tires.

Lu Ren looked up at the repair shop 100 meters away, suspecting that it was a masterpiece of this repair shop.

Xiao Du hurried over at this moment, and as soon as the two met, Xiao Du said, "Brother Lu, this time I brought a new type of hydraulic jack, as if jacking up your little car for fun."

Lu Ren's eyes followed, and he found that it was a miniature hydraulic jack. It was small and exquisite, and it was very convenient to carry, so he liked it very much.

"This is just bought in the store, is it easy to use?"

"Otherwise, you can operate it yourself and experience it."

"Forget it, you should help me unload it! I'll just watch." Lu Ren didn't want to waste time here, so he shook his head.

While working, Xiao Du asked aimlessly: "What is it? Did you see it?"

"A small piece of broken steel slag...Look, it's this thing." Lu Ren stretched out his hand to show the thing, Xiao Du glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's probably the trick of the guy in front, think about it! Except for him, there's no other place around here for this kind of residual steel slag." Xiao Du actually suspected that it was the trick of the repair shop, so there should be some basis for it. So, Lu Ren asked: "This alone is not enough, do you have any other evidence?"

"Of course there is no direct evidence, and we haven't seen it with our own eyes. But I have a basis for saying this, because in the past six months or so, several trucks have repaired tires at my place, and they all said that they were often punctured on this road... Just like you did tonight."

Xiao Du paused for a moment, and then said: "Those trucks often travel this way, and they always get punctured tires in the same place. It is inevitable to be suspicious. I heard that someone saw the owner of the store dumping waste on both sides of the road in the middle of the night. As a result, the owner of the repair department is naturally the most suspicious."

"Yes, think carefully about his motives for doing this. After all, the tire is punctured, and the possibility of going to him to fix it is the most likely." Lu Ren also sighed.

Of course, this is just a private guess of the two people, and they may have misunderstood others and made wrong judgments.There must be real evidence for everything, and guesswork alone is not enough.

The two talked and worked, and soon the tire was replaced. After Lu Ren thanked him, Xiao Du rode away quickly.

Lu Ren drove the car directly to Xiao Du's shop, and needed to get the tire repaired as soon as possible.Because no matter at any time, while driving, you must carry a spare tire for emergency use.

The next morning, the female driver Zhang Jia came to pick up the car on time, but when she was about to drive away, Lu Ren stopped her.

"Boss, is there anything else?" Zhang Jia asked strangely.

"I just want to remind you that when you go to Erlei Village during the day, you must pay attention to the iron nails on the road. Recently, vehicles have often been punctured. I also punctured a tire there last night."

"Uh, I've heard about this incident. It's a strange thing to say. After the road was repaired, tires were punctured in that place one after another. Obviously someone did it maliciously. It's really abominable." It turned out that Zhang Jia also heard Speaking of such things, it seems that that part of the road is also notorious.
