I am a super cop

Chapter 2166 Crane Old Hu
"Old Hu? Relatives?" When hearing such a relationship, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei didn't feel too much doubt.

Logically speaking, Lao Hu may have introduced He Liqiang to work here, and this makes sense.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are actually only a handful of people who work in the evening shift, know He Liqiang, and have a good relationship.

"Where is Lao Hu now?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked the middle-aged fat boss.

"It's over there in the freight yard." The middle-aged fat boss pointed to a spot and said, "There is an old crane in the far corner over there. That's Lao Hu's car."

"He is usually responsible for driving that car. He rented that car from the stall and contracted it to do it himself."

"Usually he has the best relationship with He Liqiang. If you want to know more about He Liqiang, you'd better ask him. He should know better than anyone else."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." After getting useful clues, Lu Weiwei thanked her, and she didn't intend to stay for tea. Dang even left the stall with Gu Chen and walked towards Lao Hu's crane.

Lao Hu's crane is refitted from an old truck chassis.

This kind of old truck chassis has actually been eliminated a long time ago, but in some markets, there are still some modified models of this kind, mainly because they are cheap.

Also hire a crane to do the same job, but your old crane may be cheaper than someone else's new crane.

In order to save costs, some cargo owners actually don’t care about the newness of your crane at all, they care more about saving costs.

Do more with less money.

Therefore, the business of old cranes like Lao Hu is actually quite popular.

From the very beginning, Gu Chen observed that this old crane had been shuttling around the freight yard.

The master driver is a middle-aged fat man who is both a driver and a crane operator.

Among the many cranes, the vehicle is a relatively conspicuous existence, after all, it is an old-fashioned model.

But from the perspective of work efficiency, Gu Chen feels that this fat man is much more proficient than others.

Perhaps it has achieved the level of integration of man and car, so the speed is fast. In just a few hours, the driver of this crane has already unloaded the cargo for several cargo owners.

But now after inquiring, he found out that the driver had a good relationship with He Liqiang.

Thinking about the current freight yard, it has ushered in a short period of silence. It is estimated that it will be a while, and there will not be too many trucks entering.

Therefore, many drivers would choose to rest at the stalls, but when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to the old crane, the fat man was still lying on the long rest area in the back row of the cab.

A pair of socks with holes in them, placed by the window, looked unattractive from afar.

"This person must live a sloppy life, right?" Lu Weiwei covered her nose, feeling that the air was filled with the smell of fat uncle's feet.

Gu Chen didn't care too much, grinned, hurried to the crane, and knocked on the door of the crane.

"Who is it?" He also heard the movement, and the fat uncle who was lying in the rest area at the back of the cab sat up excitedly and looked out of the car.

Seeing a man and woman standing below, they asked curiously, "Do you want a crane service?"

"No." Gu Chen shook his head.

"That you……"

"We are here to look for you, you should be Master Hu?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The fat uncle was stunned, a little confused, and seeing that he was not here for business, he replied indifferently: "Well, I am Lao Hu, and everyone calls me Crane Lao Hu."

Sitting upright and leaning against the window, Lao Hu asked again: "Eh? So what are you looking for from me? Can you just tell me?"

Hearing what Old Hu was talking about, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, then they each took out their police IDs and showed them in front of middle-aged Old Hu.

"Are you the police?" It was only through the faint street lights in the market compound that Lao Hu could see their true identities clearly.

His face suddenly became tense.

And this obvious expression fluctuation was also noticed by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen cut straight to the point and asked, "Do you recognize He Liqiang?"

"No... I don't know him." Lao Hu directly shook his head in denial.

"Don't know?" Lu Weiwei was also laughed angrily by this guy, and said angrily, "You said you don't know He Liqiang?"

"No... I don't know each other, what's the matter?" Lao Hu continued to shake his head in denial.

Lu Weiwei also sighed, and said in a bad mood: "Master Hu, people in this market should all know that you have a good relationship with this He Liqiang, and the two of you often stay together."

"Also, it is said that the two of you are somewhat related."

"Who... who is related to him?"

Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Lao Hu became anxious immediately, and quickly drew a line with He Liqiang and said, "Let me tell you, I don't know this He Liqiang at all?"

"Really...don't know?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and continued to ask him.

Perhaps it was because Gu Chen's eyes were too sharp, after Hu hesitated for a few seconds, he quickly changed his words:

"Just... that is, what do you usually meet and talk to? People in the market, as long as they look familiar, I will say hello. Is this a problem?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case?" Lu Weiwei said involuntarily when she heard that the old Hu was lying:

"I said Master Hu, why do you say that you don't know He Liqiang?"

"I……"

Old Hu hesitated to speak, as if he had a psychological burden.

Gu Chen also saw the clue, and then hurriedly explained to Lao Hu: "Master Hu, don't put any pressure on you, He Liqiang is He Liqiang, and you are you."

"We came here just to learn about He Liqiang's working status and situation here, there is no other meaning."

"But everyone says he knows you the most, so who should we look for if we don't ask you?"

"Hey! These bastards are really cheap." He also felt that he was sold by the people in the whole market, and Lao Hu also sighed, so he said in a bad mood:

"Let's be honest, I know He Liqiang, He Liqiang's elders, and my elders all come from the same village."

"So, the two of us are more or less related, but that's all."

"He works here, and I also work here. In addition to the relationship between us, people will occasionally mention it, and then these bastards will make false rumors, saying that I seem to know He Liqiang very well. There is nothing at all. .”

Seeing that Lao Hu still seemed to be a little emotional, Gu Chen suppressed his laughter and continued to ask: "Is it because He Liqiang got involved in the case that it burdened you?"

"Harmful!" Feeling that he couldn't hide it anymore, Lao Hu sighed heavily, and then he said in a bad mood:

"To tell you the truth, I really don't have a good impression of this He Liqiang right now."

"I heard that when he was delivering food, he mixed up with his friend's wife and caused a scene of death."

"Once this story spreads, everyone in the market will know about it. It's a shame to have such a familiar person."

Sighing lightly, trying to calm down, Lao Hu said again: "So, it's too late for people in the market to hide from him, who wants to have anything to do with him?"

"Besides, when the police came to look for me, I... I was so scared that I didn't want to have anything to do with him."

"It's understandable, but you have to cooperate with us." Lu Weiwei understood in her heart when she heard Lao Hu's complaints.

Now He Liqiang's reputation is already bad, and everyone wants to distance himself from him, so as not to be invited to drink tea by the police.

And Lao Hu was obviously aware of this situation, so He Liqiang's face changed when he talked about it.

"It's okay, we just have a brief understanding of the situation. Just explain what you know to us in detail and truthfully. Let us handle the rest." Gu Chen also reasoned earnestly.

The main reason is that Lao Hu has too much psychological burden, so that he conceals some key clues.

Listening to Gu Chen's patient explanation, Lao Hu's wariness also changed from resistance at the beginning to cooperation.

After Gu Chen conducted a brief psychological counseling, Lao Hu stepped out of the cabin and came to Gu Chen and the two.

And Gu Chen also turned on the law enforcement recorder hanging on his chest, and then asked: "He Liqiang came here to work, did he find it himself, or did you help introduce him?"

"Uh, I introduced it." Lao Hu was a little ashamed, and said with a sigh:
"Before, He Liqiang delivered food outside, and he felt that he earned too little and didn't have enough money to spend."

"One time, our friends got together for a drink and a meal. It just so happened that because He Liqiang was somewhat related to my family, we got together and chatted."

"I said, our market has been very busy recently, and many stalls are looking for night shows."

"Just right, He Liqiang just asked casually, and then inquired about some salary information. He felt that it was not bad, so he thought, why don't we go and have a look?"

"So, I introduced him to his current boss, and he has been working until now."

"How long?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Probably... almost a year?" Old Hu thought about it.

"Then he usually works, especially during the recent period, have you noticed anything unusual about He Liqiang?" Gu Chen asked.

"An abnormal situation?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lao Hu frowned slightly, and thought with his chin:
"This guy usually works the night shift, and he doesn't always stay at the stall, but wanders around."

"Usually when I see an old acquaintance like me, I will come up to pass a cigarette, and then chat with me a few words about daily life."

"However, you want to say that he has been acting strangely lately? Eh? It seems to be true."

"What the hell is that?" Hearing that Lao Hu seemed to know something?Lu Weiwei asked immediately.

Old Hu scratched the back of his head, thinking about it: "I remember that He Liqiang has been fine recently, and always likes to run to the toilet."

"I don't know what's wrong with him? It seems that the frequency of going to the toilet is much higher."

Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly stopped recording, and raised his head to ask Lao Hu: "Master Hu, how did you know? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Uh, forget it? Because I'm usually busy at night."

"But this night's work, he will not concentrate on a certain period of time. Usually, he is very busy in one hour and free in the next hour."

"Because there is a gap in the time of these trucks coming from other provinces, this also leads to the work among us, which will be the kind of stop and go."

After a pause, Lao Hu hurriedly pointed to himself: "Like me now, this is the situation. I don't have any work now, because I just finished my work, so we can take a rest. After two hours, I guess we will be busy again."

"So, when I'm not busy, I sit in the cab, play with my phone, and read novels."

"And then, the area between He Liqiang's stall and the public toilet is usually relatively empty, so I can see He Liqiang at a glance when I sit in the cab of the crane."

Gu Chen recorded these, and raised his head and asked, "So, when did He Liqiang start to go to the toilet so frequently?"

"Uh, specifically, maybe last week? I don't remember which day, but I must have been last week." Old Hu said.

According to what Lao Hu said, Gu Chen turned around and took a look in the direction of the public toilet, feeling that there was nothing unusual around him.

It's just an ordinary toilet, nothing special.

Gu Chen turned his head and asked Lao Hu again: "Master Hu, apart from this incident, is there any other abnormal situation with He Liqiang?"

"For example, who did he meet often? What did he talk to these people?"

"Uh, I don't know about this." Lao Hu shook his head and quickly denied it.

Lu Weiwei continued to urge: "Think about it again, for example, besides He Liqiang, who has been going to the toilet frequently since last week, is there anyone else who also needs to go to the toilet frequently like He Liqiang at the same time? "

"Oh, no." Listening to Lu Weiwei's questioning, Lao Hu seemed a little irritable, and said impatiently:
"I've said it all, I usually see He Liqiang more familiar, so sometimes I take a second look."

"As for the others, I don't pay much attention, and I haven't found anyone going to the toilet frequently."

After thinking for a while, Lao Hu said again: "Oh right, I always felt that there was something wrong with He Liqiang? That's why I needed to go to the toilet frequently."

"Where? Where are you referring?" Lu Weiwei didn't understand.

Old Hu frowned, and was a little speechless, and quickly said: "It's the man's problem. If there is a problem, maybe he needs to go to the toilet frequently."

"Anyway, I was just guessing."

"However, He Liqiang told me that I was completely guessing wildly."

"Anyway, what's his situation? I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Looking in the direction of the toilet, Lao Hu said again: "If you want to know about He Liqiang, you might as well go to the toilet."

"That's exactly what I mean." As soon as Lao Hu finished speaking, Gu Chen answered.

Old Hu was stunned, also confused: "Comrade policeman, do you really want to go to the bathroom?"

"For the case, we need to go to the field to investigate." Gu Chen also gave a pertinent reply.

Now it was Old Hu's turn to be confused. He had never seen such a serious policeman.

While Lao Hu was hesitating, Gu Chen also invited, "Master Hu, will you come with us?"

"What?" Thinking he heard it wrong, Lao Hu was stunned, and asked weakly, "You want to go to the bathroom with me?"
