Chapter 2074

He Jun's answer was exactly as everyone imagined. Not only Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min stayed at Xinxin Hotel last night, but even the van driver also stayed at Xinxin Hotel.

In this way, whether the van driver He Jun conspired with Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min to kidnap the little girl, Gu Chen needs to get an answer from He Jun.

So Gu Chen asked He Jun again: "You said you stayed at Xinxin Hotel last night, so you drove back to He's house with an empty car this morning, right?"

"I……"

It seemed that Gu Chen asked me stupidly, but He Jun didn't understand, so he said, "Of course I drove back to Hejiacun with an empty car, and I don't have any goods to pull. Isn't it just an empty car?"

"Are you sure?" Seeing that He Jun's words were a little concealed, Lu Weiwei also reminded her.

He Jun nodded to confirm: "I confirm, I came back with an empty car."

"The rear compartment of your minivan is not locked. Are you sure there is no one in this minivan?"

Gu Chen had checked the back door of the van before, and found that the van was only plugged with iron bolts, but the iron bolts were not locked.

Therefore, He Jun's rhetoric needs to be considered.

He Jun also saw that everyone didn't believe him, but he couldn't say anything, and he suddenly became anxious.

At this moment, Police Officer Wang also took out his mobile phone, found the photos of Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min, and said in front of He Jun:

"Do you know these two people?"

"These two people?" Glancing at the photo in Officer Wang's hand, He Jun hesitated.

He also saw several policemen staring at him, as if the police could see through his thoughts at a glance.

So He Jun confessed honestly: "Men know each other, but women... women don't know each other."

"What's that man's name?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"The man... the man's name is Xu Tiankai." He Jun said.

"Are you familiar with this Xu Tiankai?" Gu Chen asked again.

But He Jun quickly waved his hand, denied and said, "I'm not familiar with him, at best, I can only be considered an acquaintance."

"Because he is avoiding debts recently and has nowhere to go, so I arranged for him to live in the kennel in our Hejia Village."

"That's the kennel over the back mountain, right?" Lu Weiwei said.

He Jun quickly nodded and admitted: "That's right, the kennel in the back mountain is the collective property of our village, and there are some large retriever dogs in it."

"The usual kennels are basically handed over to a foreigner named Ah Fu in the village to manage them."

"No." Hearing this, Police Officer Wang hurriedly asked again: "Why is the collective property in your village handed over to outsiders for management? Is it because you have no experience in this field or what?"

"Yes... I have no experience, because that Ah Fu used to run a kennel. Later, because of gambling, he lost all his family's money. He had no choice but to start working for other people's kennels."

"Ah Fu and I have some friendship, and our village is also planning to run a kennel, but we suffer from the lack of management talents in this area."

"So, I found Ah Fu and asked Ah Fu to help manage the kennels in the village."

After a pause, He Jun said again: "I also found the right person. During the days when Ah Fu was here, the kennel was well-run, and some of the paparazzi we trained have grown up robustly."

"A few batches were also ordered by customers, which also brought some considerable income to the collective economy of the village."

"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Lu Weiwei suddenly remembered the public welfare animal rescue stations that she and Gu Chen had uncovered before, secretly selling stray dogs to dog meat shops.

So he hurriedly asked He Jun for confirmation: "You run the kennel, and the dogs ordered by the customers, shouldn't they all be taken to the dog meat shop?"

"What?" He Jun was shocked by Lu Weiwei's shocking remarks, and tried to calm down, and said involuntarily:

"I said, comrade policewoman, how is it possible? If we want to sell these dogs to dog meat shops, we will lose a lot of money."

"The dog breeds we raise are all large touring hounds. There are thousands of puppies, and tens of thousands of big ones."

It was also after receiving He Jun's affirmative reply that Lu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief:

"So, the dogs you sold were sold at the price of pet dogs?"

"Not only at the price of pet dogs, we will also train these dogs and give these dogs some basic training, so that the selling price will be higher."

"Before, Ah Fu in our village trained a golden retriever who was very human and could understand human speech."

"As a result, this golden retriever was directly bought by a mine owner at a price of 80,000 yuan."

"So expensive?" Hearing the price of 80,000 yuan, Officer Wang suddenly felt that the profit of the kennel was so high?

But Gu Chen didn't think about these things, and hurriedly reminded, "So, Ah Fu has been running the kennel, and the Xu Tiankai you know is also hiding debts here, right?"

"Uh……"

"Isn't it?" Seeing that He Jun was still hesitating, Gu Chen reminded him again.

He Jun had no choice but to nod his head and said acquiescingly: "That's right, Xu Tiankai found me before and said that he was homeless, his home was blocked by creditors, and he had no accommodation. Let me help you find a way."

"But I also want to help, but if I live in my house, I may be implicated, so I have to ask Xu Tiankai to find Ah Fu in the kennel, and let Ah Fu arrange a place for him."

"Then last night, did you know about Xu Tiankai staying at Xinxin Hotel?" Gu Chen asked again.

"I know, he called me." He Jun didn't want to hide anything, so he replied straightforwardly.

Lu Weiwei was puzzled, and asked He Jun again: "But, when he left Xinxin Hotel, he should have gotten into your car, right?"

"No, it's not." He Jun still shook his head in denial after hearing Lu Weiwei hinting at himself so clearly:

"I checked out from Xinxin Hotel and drove an empty car."

"Then how can you guarantee that no one will hide behind the compartment of your vehicle if it is not locked?"

"I……"

He was also asked by Gu Chen why he was so stupid, He Jun didn't know how to reply for a while?

After all, as an old driver, is there anyone in the car? In fact, based on the feeling of driving, you should be able to perceive some.

After all, this is a long journey, and the turns are bumpy, so there will inevitably be some movement in the carriage.

But now He Jun insisted in a daze that his car was empty and returned, and he didn't pull anyone.

Police Officer Wang was a little angry. If everyone's guesses were correct, then Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min at that time might have taken the kidnapped girl to the back of the van.

In this way, Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min were safe enough to escape from the scene without being discovered.

But He Jun found out but refused to report it, which only shows that this He Jun and Xu Tiankai are actually on the same team.

The reason why he didn't say it was actually to cover Xu Tiankai.

Although I know that He Jun is stubborn, but for now, there is not much evidence.

In the dark night, it is also necessary to conduct sufficient evidence investigations on the van.

But the most urgent task now is to find Xu Tiankai.

Therefore, Gu Chen didn't have time to think about it, and quickly reminded He Jun, "Is Xu Tiankai in the kennel right now?"

"Yes... yes." He Jun stammered a bit.

"Is the kennel safe? Will these roving hounds attack strangers?" Gu Chen wanted to make things clear for everyone's safety.

He Jun nodded slightly, and also explained: "Most of the roving hounds are very docile to humans."

"But there are also some who are quite irritable. If they meet strangers or smell strangers, they will also have the intention of attacking."

Afraid that Gu Chen and the others might be worried, He Jun said again: "But don't worry, those roving hounds that are more irritable have been locked up by us with iron chains or iron cages, and they will be fine."

"All right, you take us there to find Xu Tiankai." Lu Weiwei said.

Forced to do so, He Jun at this moment could only obey and take Gu Chen and the others to walk slowly towards the kennel.

Since there is only one way in and out of the kennel, Gu Chen concluded that even if Xu Tiankai wanted to escape, he would not be able to escape at all.

Unless he turned over the back hill.

But now, everyone surrounded him from the right path.

At the other end of the kennel, strange footsteps were also heard, and many roving hounds began to bark, and the whole kennel suddenly became lively.

And just when Gu Chen and the others were about to approach the gate of the kennel, a dazzling light suddenly shone from the direction of the kennel and directly shone on everyone's faces.

Like everyone else, He Jun blocked the dazzling light with one hand and reminded him, "Ah Fu, it's me."

Also hearing He Jun's call, Ah Fu immediately turned back the light.

With the help of the light behind the visitor, everyone found a middle-aged man standing at the door.

"He Jun, what are you doing here so late at night?" Seeing that He Jun brought two men and a woman to follow him, Ah Fu, who was a little thin, also asked curiously.

Said it was curiosity, but actually Gu Chen was more willing to believe that it was instinctive vigilance.

From the sound of the dog barking, Ah Fu had already appeared at the door.

Normally, he doesn't need to be so anxious at all.

And Gu Chen also thought of many excuses for Ah Fu, such as staying at the door, hearing the dog barking, and immediately shining the flashlight over.

But as Ah Fu, who has been running a kennel for a long time, why is his reaction so sensitive? Gu Chen even saw a faint figure at the door from a long distance just now.

"Bring a few comrades from the police." He Jun came to Ah Fu, and quickly introduced a few people to Ah Fu: "These are all from the Furong branch. They came here at night and wanted to ask you to understand the situation."

"Looking for me?" Ah Fu was a little confused when he heard the words, and quickly looked at Gu Chen and the others, and then asked again:

"I don't know you, what do you want me to do?"

"To be precise, I am looking for you." Gu Chen felt that he had to correct He Jun's statement.

He Jun suddenly looked embarrassed, and quickly changed his words: "Yes, they are looking for us, but they are mainly looking for Xu Tiankai."

Stretching his neck, He Jun looked around at the kennel behind Ah Fu, and then asked again:

"By the way, is Xu Tiankai in the kennel?"

"No." Ah Fu shook his head.

He Jun was taken aback, then turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, Ah Fu said he's not here."

"Didn't you just say that Xu Tiankai was staying in the kennel? Why isn't he here now?" Officer Wang also seized on the language loopholes of the two people and hurriedly asked about the situation.

He Jun also frowned, and quickly reminded: "Where did Xu Tiankai go?"

"How do I know? The legs grow on him, where does he like to go? I don't care."

Looking at a golden retriever dog wearing an iron chain tied to the door behind him, Ah Fu also said in a strange way:

"If he were a dog of mine, he would have to do whatever I asked him to do? It's a pity, he's about the same as a lost dog now."

"Hehe." Also listening to Ah Fu's yin and yang eccentricity, there is quite a sense of accusation and scolding.

So Gu Chen laughed dryly, and also asked about the situation: "It seems that Mr. Ah Fu seems to have some conflicts with this Xu Tiankai?"

"Contradictions?" Ah Fu also laughed angrily, quickly waved his hands and said, "What conflicts can I have with him?"

"I just think that it's really okay for this kid to mix up with my down-and-out appearance back then."

Pointing to himself, Ah Fu said again: "You may not know me very well. I lost my fortune because I was fond of gambling back then."

"That's when I went to Hejia Village to run a kennel for someone."

"And that guy, when I saw him the first day, I felt no different from the lost dog in my kennel. He has fallen into a kennel, what do you think he can be mixed with?"

Hearing Ah Fu's sarcasm, Gu Chen probably understood that this is a bad-tempered dog breeder.

Perhaps it was the bankruptcy that year, which has had a profound impact on him so far, so that his temper is also very unfriendly.

Speaking of the current Xu Tiankai, it seems that he doesn't give face, and even describes Xu Tiankai as a bereaved dog.

You know, this kind of verbal sarcasm, most people will definitely not be able to bear it.

And according to Gu Chen's general understanding of Xu Tiankai's character, if he knew that Ah Fu dared to say that about him, he would knock off Ah Fu's two front teeth before giving up.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "So, is Xu Tiankai here?"

"Didn't I say that?" Seeing that Lu Weiwei seemed to be still a little bit angry, Ah Fu said with disdain: "The legs are on him, and it has nothing to do with me, and I don't know where he likes to go."

"Hey boy!" Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was too embarrassing, He Jun hurried over to smooth things over and said:

"Comrade policeman, don't be as knowledgeable as he is, Ah Fu is drinking again, that's how he is."

"Once drinking, it's easy to talk nonsense, and you have to say a few words to everyone to vent your dissatisfaction."

After a pause, He Jun also said solemnly: "You also know that Ah Fu is a bankrupt and once owned his own kennel."

"But now because of gambling, I have lost all my family's property, and I have been reduced to working for others."

"So, it's understandable for you to be unbalanced, to drink away your sorrows, and to vent out these unpleasant things. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Seemingly seeing that He Jun was trying to smooth things over for him, Ah Fu suddenly became less aggressive and stood aside consciously without making a sound.

Seeing that Ah Fu's mood eased a little, He Jun quickly reminded everyone:

"Then what? Didn't Xu Tiankai leave? If you don't believe me, I can take you in to find it."

Stretching out his right index finger, He Jun reminded again and again: "But I have to make one thing clear, the roving hounds inside are all fierce."

"You'd better follow me closely and don't wander around. I'll take you there for a visit."

"Okay, then I'll have to work." Seeing that He Jun was willing to let everyone in, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, if this He Jun deliberately troubles everyone, he doesn't want to take everyone into the kennel to search.

Then even if Gu Chen and the others wanted to go in by themselves, it would be difficult.

After all, the cry of the Tibetan Mastiff has been heard by everyone from far away.

But what's going on in the kennel? Are these ferocious large dogs chained up? Or locked in a solid iron cage? These are unknowns.

Fortunately, there was He Jun leading the way, so everyone followed He Jun, walked directly through the iron gate, and came to the inside of the kennel.

The lights in the kennel are very dim, they are all small light bulbs hanging on the side, and the road is also dim.

At this moment, the dogs in the iron cages also smelled the smell of strangers.

Immediately, led by a few active little golden retrievers, all the roving hounds began to bark.

All of a sudden, all kinds of dog barks echoed each other, and the whole kennel suddenly became noisy.

Lu Weiwei was also confused by this weird atmosphere, so she could only grab Gu Chen's clothes tightly.

And Police Officer Wang was also cautious, looking left and right.

I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would be bitten by a patrolling dog that sprang out.

The main reason is that it is not clear whether the roving hounds in this kennel are fully covered by vaccines?

Although the rabies vaccine can be reimbursed now, Officer Wang does not seem to suffer from this crime.

Also in the midst of a few people stumbled, He Jun had already shown everyone around the first kennel, looked back at everyone and said, "This is our first kennel."

"Most of the dogs here are golden retrievers. This kind of dog is more popular, and there are many people who buy this kind of dog."

After He Jun's voice fell here, Gu Chen immediately turned on the flashlight and illuminated the area around the kennel.

It was also after a careful inspection that there was nothing unusual, so he turned around and said, "Take us to the next kennel."

"Okay." He Jun nodded slightly, and could only do as he was told.

So, He Jun took everyone to the No. 2 kennel, and introduced while walking: "This is our No. 2 kennel, and the breed inside is Labrador."

"The dogs here are very docile and don't usually make trouble. If you are looking for Xu Tiankai, then you are definitely not here."

"And didn't I say that? He left by himself, not here."
