"There are three vehicles, that's true, but how many people are there?"
Huang Qinqin reminded him to count the number of people. There were already four people on the three bicycles. Adding four more people would be difficult.
Besides the three Huang brothers, Huang Jianmin also has a classmate here.
Manager Gao knew they were from the same area, so he usually let them rest together so they could travel back together.
Huang Jianmin thought Huang Qinqin was worried about something, so he calmly said, "It's okay, three bicycles are enough. There are plenty."
Huang Qinqin was a little curious. Three bicycles carrying eight people: "Okay then, third cousin, can you take a look at how to arrange it? We can get ready and set off."
The only solution Huang Qinqin could think of was to use two bicycles to carry three people and one bicycle to carry two people. Although it might be a bit of an eyesore, at least there would be enough room to sit.
But when she saw how Huang Jianmin assigned positions, her jaw dropped.
Fang Chuchu was shocked when she saw it, and stammered, "Well... how about you... give one of you to come here?"
Fang Chuchu guessed they were afraid of being seen, but she felt their current seating arrangement was even worse!
Huang Jianmin turned to look at Huang Qinqin and Fang Chuchu, and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you getting on the bus? We're fine as we are, no need to trouble Comrade Fang."
Seriously? Are you really serious?! What's so great about it?!
Huang Qinqin looked at one of the bicycles. Huang Jianhua sat in front, Huang Jiancai rode the bicycle, and then they let Huang Qinqin sit on the back seat.
This arrangement is correct, appropriate, and normal.
What's unusual is Li Chen's bicycle...
Huang Guiming sat in front, while Li Chen rode the bike. But!
What the heck is that in the back seat?!
Huang Jianmin sat in the back seat, holding his classmate Zhang Yueli in his lap; the two of them sat like a human pyramid...
Leaving aside whether Huang Qinqin was in danger or not, this scene is truly an eyesore. Is it appropriate for two grown men to be hugging each other?
Huang Qinqin also advised, "Third cousin, why don't you send someone over to Chuchu's place? It would be safer that way."
"No need, we're perfectly safe like this. It's getting late, let's get going."
Okay...
......
"In that case, the death of Xu Jingui's wife is really suspicious."
After listening to the information shared by Xu Weiguo, Fang Hui thought that the woman he met two years ago might be Xu Jingui's wife.
Xu Weiguo added, "Moreover, my wife said we can go to Xu Jingui's wife's family home to check, because her parents haven't come to see her."
"There might be some hidden story behind this. What daughter would give birth and not come to see her child?"
Fang Hui agreed, as his wife's family lived quite far away, and they used to walk here instead of riding bicycles.
It takes most of the day to get here, but when his wife gave birth, his parents-in-law and their family also came over.
“It is indeed worth investigating, but it will take some time. I have already spoken to my brother, and he will go with Chen Zhaodi today to investigate the black market.”
"Our task today is to go and take a look at that alley. I've asked around, and the Xu family has neither cremated nor held a funeral in the village."
"Then it is very likely that Xu Jingui's wife's body was hidden in that alley."
Xu Weiguo got goosebumps listening to Fang Hui's speculation: "Really? If it's hidden in an alley, it would have stank by now, wouldn't it?"
Fang Hui shrugged: "I'm just guessing. After all, there's no cremation or burial. So the only thing left is to hide him."
"As for the rest, we'll find out when we go and take a look."
......
Fang Huai followed Chen Ermei and walked with her into a relatively secluded alley.
He guessed that this must be the black market's stronghold. In fact, Fang Huai was not very willing to help Fang Hui investigate the black market.
Although the black market is illegal, most of the people who sell things on the black market, apart from a small minority, are people who have no other choice but to sell.
Although it's illegal, most people turn a blind eye to the black market unless someone goes too far.
However, Fang Huai still came over. After all, Fang Hui said that this was the exchange condition proposed by the Xu family. In order to get them to help take care of Song Yongjun, he had to help investigate the black market.
However, he doesn't need to do anything in the black market. The main thing is to help him track Chen Ermei, see who they trade with, and where they trade.
Fang Huai originally thought it would be difficult to investigate, but he watched as Chen Ermei did not make any cover-up from the moment she left home until now, and did not even check whether anyone was following her.
Fang Huai was starting to wonder if he had followed the wrong person. If he was going to the black market, even to buy something, he shouldn't be so brazen, right?
However, watching Chen Ermei walk to a house, skillfully knock three times on the door, and after a while, knock three more times.
Fang Huai then believed that she really had come to the black market, or rather, to trade with people in the black market. It was that coded message she used to knock on the door that Fang Huai found very familiar.
Creak~
The door opened, and Scarface happened to be there today. After opening the door, he habitually looked around. Seeing no one, he let Chen Ermei in.
Fang Huai, who was not far away, immediately hid behind a tree the moment Scarface came out.
Fang Huai finally understood why Chen Ermei's knocking signal sounded familiar—it was a code their unit had used before!
Fang Huai also knew the man who opened the door for Chen Ermei; in fact, he was quite familiar with him.
Fang Huai and he used to be in the same battalion. Later, Zhang Jianhong, also known as Scarface, retired due to injury, and they lost contact.
Fang Huai hadn't expected to meet him again under these circumstances; he remembered that Zhang Jianhong wasn't from this area.
He didn't know why he was here, and he was clearly from the black market. Fang Huai now felt things were getting a bit tricky.
During his service, Zhang Jianhong consistently demonstrated outstanding counter-surveillance capabilities and was also quite proficient in combat.
Although Zhang Jianhong had been retired for six or seven years, Fang Huai intuitively felt that his counter-surveillance capabilities were still intact.
Therefore, it will be quite difficult for him to conduct an in-depth investigation into the black market.
As he was deep in thought, Chen Ermei reopened the door and came out.
Since it was difficult to make a breakthrough with Scarface, Fang Huai decided to start with Chen Ermei instead.
