After hearing what Wang Xiangqian said, Yang Liu and Chu Yue looked at each other and felt more and more that there was something wrong with this Uncle De. If they followed him, they might be able to find some clues.
The specific progress of the police investigation of the case certainly could not be explained in detail to the two outsiders, but given this relationship, Wang Xiangqian said that he would do his best to help find the person.
After leaving the police station, Yang Liu felt that just sitting there and waiting wasn't going to work, so she looked at the person next to her and said tentatively, "I'm going to try and look for it myself. What about you?"
Although her tone was inquiring, if this man dared to leave her and run back home alone, she would put lots of chili peppers in every dish she cooked from now on. If she didn't make him bleed from the spiciness, she would not be surnamed Yang anymore.
"Need I ask? Of course I'll go wherever you go." Chu Yue said as if it was a matter of course.
Considering that his answer was barely passing, Yang Liu was still quite satisfied.
She beckoned Chu Yue over, then helped him up, bent down, took off his shoes, and fished out some bills from the soles of his shoes. She kept some for herself and stuffed the rest into Chu Yue's hands, "Take these."
"I don't need the money, just leave it with you." Chu Yue pushed it away and refused.
"Silly you, haven't you heard that you can't put all your eggs in one basket?"
"Besides, we're going to look for someone later. If we run into danger and get separated, you'll have some money to help you escape."
"Liu Liu, are you concerned about me?" Chu Yue looked at her, his eyes full of uncontrollable joy, grinning like a fool.
Yang Liu was confused. Was this the point she was talking about?
"I don't want anything to happen to you because of me, so that your childhood friends and some little childhood sweethearts won't cause trouble for me." Yang Liu stuffed the money into his trouser pocket without a care, then turned around and walked towards the state-owned restaurant.
Chu Yue curled the corners of his lips and hurriedly followed.
Although his wife didn't admit it, he could clearly feel her concern for him, and that was enough.
If I ask people for information directly like that, the waiter will definitely not be happy. Besides, Uncle De is half a gangster, so I guess no one would want to get involved in such a thing.
Chu Yue thought they wanted to ask someone for information, so he ordered a few more dishes and two bowls of rice. Then he said to Yang Liu, "Sit here for a while. I'll go ask their manager."
The waiter might not know about someone like Uncle De, but the manager would definitely know about it.
"Manager Chen, do you still remember me?"
The person sitting at the counter was stunned at first after hearing Chu Yue's words, and then immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I remember now. It was thanks to you that we got through last time, otherwise we would have been in trouble again."
Generally speaking, if you have achieved the position of manager, you must have seen countless people, and the ability to recognize people will definitely come easily to you.
"You're too kind. By the way, I came here today for two reasons: one is to have dinner, and the other is to ask you something."
Manager Chen saw that Chu Yue was generous, always ordered delicious dishes, and came here frequently, making him a regular customer of the restaurant. He felt that he could not neglect him.
So he nodded immediately and said, "You tell me, I will tell you everything I know."
"Here's what's going on. My wife's third uncle loves gambling and hasn't been home for a few days. I heard he used to come here to eat with a guy called Uncle De. Uncle De was a middle-aged fat man with a bald head. I wonder if you remember him?"
Manager Chen frowned after hearing his description, then looked around and motioned for Chu Yue to move closer. He then whispered, "I have some impression of the man you mentioned. He often comes here to eat. I heard that he lost all his family's savings gambling last year. I don't know what he did outside, but he became successful again after returning."
Chu Yue knew that asking the manager was the right thing to do. "I want to ask, do you know where they often gamble?"
Now society is cracking down on these things, so gamblers like them have special dens.
Moreover, once those people become addicted to gambling, they will definitely ask someone to buy them food at mealtime, so they will always leave some traces.
As a hotel employee, Manager Chen often interacts with people and is sure to discover something.
He waved towards Chu Yue and whispered, "I'm telling you this in secret, but you can't tell anyone that I said it."
Those people were obviously gangsters. If they knew that he was the one who leaked the information, they would definitely come back to cause trouble for him in the future.
Chu Yue nodded.
"It's like this. Every time it's dinner time, someone would come over to buy food, and they would buy food for more than a dozen people at a time. I later noticed that the person who came to run errands to buy food was one of Uncle De's men."
Once, the man couldn't get it, and he helped deliver it to the destination.
He was outside at the time and heard the noise in the house from a distance.
However, no one wanted to be involved in this kind of thing, so he helped deliver the things and left quickly to avoid getting into trouble.
"Then do you know where their hideout is?"
"It's in the abandoned factory building on the west side of the street."
Chu Yue thanked the manager and came over immediately, then told Yang Liu what he had found out.
When Yang Liu heard this, she immediately decided, "How about this, let's eat quickly, and then we'll go over and see what's going on."
Even if Yang Bai was taken away, it would be good to find Yang Lao San. We should be able to get some clues from him.
After the two men finished their meal, they walked quickly over there. Mainly because the noise of the tractor was too loud, they did not drive over there to avoid alerting the enemy.
Chu Yue took Yang Liu's hand, and the two of them went around to the back of the house. Because this factory was abandoned and close to the suburbs, few people came here usually. It must be said that those gamblers were very smart to choose this place.
The two of them walked carefully to the window and heard voices from inside.
"Yang Lao San, you're really good! Ever since you sold your son, your luck has been on the rise!"
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the money quickly. I lost so much to you before. I just won now, so don't cheat." As he spoke, he grabbed the money on the table into his arms.
Another person suddenly came over and yelled, "Stop playing around! Hurry up and get ready! In ten minutes, we'll be leaving. Be careful on the road. If we mess this up, we'll be broke."
Yang Liu heard Yang Lao San's voice and whispered to Chu Yue, "It's Yang Bai's father."
Chu Yue nodded, then looked around, pulled her out slowly, held her shoulders and solemnly instructed: "Liu Liu, go to the police station to find Uncle Wang, and ask them to send someone over quickly."
"What about you?"
"They're about to drive the person away. It'll take at least an hour to get from here to the police station and back. I'm afraid if we both leave, we'll lose this only clue. I'll stay here and try to buy time."
