Retreat

Fu Chenshan put He Yu at the corner of Renxin Street, and drove towards Lingyun.

He Yu walked a bit forward, and before reaching Shi Youwei, he saw a group of people gathered far in front, mocking and shouting, and they all gathered around the gate to watch the excitement.

He Yu immediately quickened his pace, and when he came to the front, he saw that the door of Shi Youwei was closed tightly, and someone splashed red paint, showing traces of flowing down one by one, which looked as thrilling as blood.Moreover, a large lock was added to the outside of the gate, which could not be opened from the inside or the outside.

Several guys have arrived, Lao Pang raised his head and shouted loudly: "Boss Li!"

He Yu pressed his arm and asked, "Brother Pang, what's going on?"

Lao Pang was also anxious and said, "I don't know. It's just like this when I came here. No one answered when I called the boss, and no one answered the phone. I don't know if I'm upstairs!"

Lao Pang had the key of the restaurant in his hand, but he couldn't open the door at this time, so everyone could only worry.Most of the merchants on this street came closer to watch the excitement. Some people from the two next door said that they seemed to have heard something in the middle of the night, but it was too late, no one came out to look, and they didn't know what was going on.

He Yu looked at this posture, and it was obvious that someone was looking for trouble in the restaurant, and most of them were targeting Li Tang.

He asked Lao Pang, "Did you call the police?"

Only then did Lao Pang come to his senses, and asked loudly, "Did you call 110?"

He Yu was anxious, and said to Lao Pang: "You call the police, I will find a way to go up and have a look."

Lao Pang grabbed his arm and asked, "How to get up?"

He Yu said, "I'll borrow a ladder."

He Yu borrowed a long ladder from the small noodle shop next door, put it on the Shiyouwei signboard, and climbed up.

There were too many people watching the excitement downstairs, and they were all shouting "be careful", which made He Yu's heart pounding.Xia Xiaoxia reached out to support the ladder below, raised her head and shouted: "Brother He, be careful."

He Yu still had to find time to answer her: "It's okay, don't worry."

The windows on the second floor were closed and the curtains were drawn from the inside.He Yu turned over the signboard, reached out to reach the window sill on the second floor, and pushed the window.The window wasn't locked and opened easily.

He Yu yelled "Brother Li", but seeing no movement, he simply climbed the window and went in.

Li Tang was not in the room, and there was no sign of anyone else coming, it was as messy as usual, the phone was still placed next to the pillow, it was on vibrate, and there were several missed calls on it.But the light was on and the door was open.He Yu guessed that Li Tang probably slept until midnight and heard movement on the first floor, so he got up and went downstairs to have a look. Later, maybe he was taken away by someone.

"Xiao He!" Lao Pang called him from downstairs.

He Yu poked his head out and replied, "Brother Li is not here, find someone to find a way to open the lock!"

Then He Yu went down the stairs to the first floor, and found that the tables and chairs in the restaurant lobby were overturned randomly, as if there were signs of a fight.The wine cabinet was also knocked down, a lot of wine bottles were smashed, and the ground was still dripping with wine.However, He Yu found that no one had touched the cash register, and no one had turned over the cash register upstairs. He felt that it was not for stealing, as if he was here to trouble Li Tang.

Soon, the 110 policemen came, and so did the lockpickers. The big lock outside the restaurant was picked, and Lao Pang and others hurriedly opened the door.

The police first checked the situation at the scene, then roughly asked what happened, and finally called He Yu and others to the police station to take notes.

The moment He Yu got into the police car, he suddenly felt so panicked that he reached out to open the door.Lao Pang, who was sitting next to him, quickly grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Only then did He Yu come back to his senses, and found that his head was covered with cold sweat, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

The transcript was very detailed. He Yu told the police handling the case in detail what he heard and saw after he came to work.At the last moment, the young policeman asked him: "Do you know who Li Tang had conflicts with?"

He Yu shook his head, "I haven't seen it before."

The policeman asked again: "Do you have any phone calls from his family members or know who he has frequent contact with?"

He Yu clasped his hands and put them in front of his lips, "No, I haven't come to work for a long time, and I almost never saw Brother Li leave Shiyouwei. He is usually alone, and no acquaintances have come to him."

After the transcript was finished, the little policeman asked him to sign and press his fingerprint. He Yu trembled, clenched his fist, then reached out to take it, read it carefully before signing, and asked at the same time: "Is there a way to find out the whereabouts of Brother Li? "

The little policeman said: "There are too few clues at present, and no witnesses witnessed him leaving last night. The only way is to adjust the nearby surveillance to see if there are any special vehicles or pedestrians. If you have any news, Remember to tell us as soon as possible.”

Renxin Street is a small street, and there is no surveillance on the road at all. The nearest place where surveillance can be found is in front of the traffic light at the intersection of Renxin Street.This can only see whether there are vehicles driving into Renxin Street, but cannot see the situation inside.

When He Yu came out of the police station, he couldn't help becoming more and more worried. He didn't know who Li Tang offended and what happened.

Back in the restaurant, seeing everyone packing up, Xia Xiaoxia took a mop to mop up the wine on the floor, saw He Yu came back, and asked, "What did the police say?"

He Yu shook his head, "The police said they would do their best to investigate."

Xia Xiaoxia couldn't help but pursed her lips, "So there's no news? Then can we still do business today?"

Lao Pang brought a bucket of water from the kitchen, and then took a mop to wipe off the red paint on the door, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.

He Yu stopped him and said, "Don't bother, go get some gasoline or banana water and see if it can be washed off."

Lao Pang threw the mop into the bucket, sighed and said, "What do you think this is about?!"

Li Tang's restaurant has been open for nearly half a year, and almost all the cooks and small workers were hired at that time, and no one knows what he used to do.He has always been a loner, and it seems that he has no relatives or friends, and everyone is used to it.This time something happened suddenly, and no one could tell who might have done it.

As for He Yu, his only connection with Li Tang is Fang Wentai.Fang Wentai went to prison earlier than He Yu, and he has been in prison for almost five years. What is his relationship with Li Tang? some people.

Ask Fang Wentai?That's not realistic.Even if he wanted to visit the prison, He Yu probably didn't have the qualifications.so what should I do now?Besides Fang Wentai, the only thing He Yu could think of at this time was Qiao Mudong.

Do you want... to find Qiao Mudong?

Seeing He Yu standing there in a daze, Lao Pang came over and patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a cigarette.

"Thank you Pang Ge," He Yu took it.

Old Pang said: "Don't worry too much, you, Brother Li, are usually quite measured, and you don't seem to be someone who causes trouble outside, so nothing major will happen."

He Yu smiled in front of him, "I hope." Then he looked back at the restaurant that was almost packed, and said, "I'm afraid there will be no business today, but the takeaway at noon can still be delivered."

Lao Pang nodded in agreement, "Li Tang is a man who is not forgiving, but he really treats us brothers well. No one can guarantee it. Anyway, with my old Pang around, this store will continue to operate well."

He Yu took a deep puff of cigarette, and suddenly said to Lao Pang: "Brother Pang, I'm going to find a friend and try to see if I can help you. You will be guarding the store."

He Yu still decided to go to Qiao Mudong. He didn't know if it would work, but at least he was going to try it.

He called Qiao Mudong first, but unexpectedly no one answered.Until the automatic hang up, He Yu looked at the dialed number and wondered if Qiao Mudong was still angry about what happened yesterday.There was no other way, because I wanted something from others, so I had to go to Lingyun myself, hoping that Qiao Mudong would be at work today.

It wasn't time for lunch delivery, He Yu was empty-handed and didn't carry a bag of delicious food. The security guard stopped him because of business affairs.

He Yu said, "I'm looking for Qiao Mudong."

The security guard said: "No matter who you are looking for, just register at the front desk, I can't just let you go up there."

The lady at the front desk had a much better attitude and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

He Yu shook his head, "There is no appointment, you call him directly and say that He Yu is looking for him and ask if he can see you."

The lady at the front desk hesitated, but she helped him call Qiao Mudong's office. Huang Haisheng answered the phone. He said that Mr. Qiao was in a meeting and was not free now.

He Yu stretched out his hand and asked the receptionist to answer the phone for him.

The lady at the front desk hesitated for a moment, and said to Huang Haisheng, "That Mr. He wants to talk to you." Then she gave the phone to He Yu.

He Yu asked: "Qiao Mudong is in a meeting?"

Huang Haisheng knew that the relationship between He Yu and Qiao Mudong was not easy, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and said: "Mr. Qiao went to a meeting, and he probably forgot to bring his mobile phone in the office. If you have any questions, I can convey them to him after the meeting is over. "

He Yu hesitated for a while, and then said: "I want to ask him for help with something, and he will answer me after the meeting. I will wait here."

Huang Haisheng heard the words, "Huh?" and said in surprise, "Have you been waiting?"

He Yu said, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Then he handed the phone back to the front desk lady.

The front desk lady smiled and hung up the phone.
