When the four trucks from Haidong City arrived, Zhang Da didn't seem surprised, but he came out to greet them in person, which was obviously very different from the previous neglect.
However, at this moment, the workers who came to unload the goods did not appear.
Due to the previous busyness, many workers have already eaten at the noodle shop, and many have returned to the dormitory.
In addition, it is already 6 o'clock in the morning, and many workers are exhausted.
But when the four trucks arrived, no one else came to unload the goods, which was obviously not normal.
Gu Chen continued to squint and observe, and saw several drivers get out of the car one after another, then came to Zhang Da, and took a few cigarettes from Zhang Da.
Several people gathered together, looking quite familiar.
After a brief exchange, under Zhang Da's farewell, several drivers left the truck one after another and went to the open-air noodle restaurant, preparing to solve the breakfast problem.
"What's going on? The driver is leaving too? What are they going to do?" Lu Weiwei became more and more confused as she watched. From the beginning to the end, these people's weird behavior made Lu Weiwei feel anxious.
Gu Chen said indifferently: "Wait a minute, don't worry, just keep an eye on Zhang Da."
"I don't think Zhang Da is in a hurry." Officer Wang, who was observing from the side, was still lying under the truck, observing Zhang Da from a concealed angle.
However, Zhang Da just walked back and forth in front of the four trucks, walked around a few times at will, and observed left and right for a few seconds before turning back and directly entering his container office area.
When the door closed, Gu Chen and the others were all stunned on the spot.
"Is this the end?" Lu Weiwei was confused.
Police Officer Wang also frowned, glanced at Gu Chen who was watching, and said, "Gu Chen, could it be that our investigation direction is wrong?"
"This Zhang Da, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
"It won't be that simple." Gu Chen took a deep breath, still remaining calm enough:
"I think Zhang Da may be more vigilant than usual this time, because they have just been interrogated by us, and in this extraordinary period, I think it is right to be cautious."
"Maybe he is also observing secretly?" Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It's possible."
"Eh? Look quickly. The window of the container is just the curtain. It seems to have moved. That guy seems to be observing the situation outside through the curtain." As soon as Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang discovered the problem.
"Hidden." Gu Chen said casually, and the group of people immediately moved closer to the blind spot.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, used a gap in the abandoned truck to continue to observe secretly.
From the line of sight, Gu Chen could see that Zhang Da had been using the curtains of the container room as a cover, gently opening a small angle, and then secretly observing the movement outside.
It seems that Zhang Da at this moment has no idea in his heart. He doesn't know whether the situation this time is different from usual?
The mysterious disappearance of Zhou Xiaotong has attracted the attention of the police.
In addition, Zhang Da also had brief contact with Zhou Xiaotong, and Zhang Da also complained to the police at the beginning, saying that he had received a threatening letter, so he had contact with Zhou Xiaotong as a last resort.
But in this way, his suspicion was also determined.
Therefore, Gu Chen judged that Zhang Da's caution was due to the police's surveillance.
Lu Weiwei waited a little impatiently, so she glanced at the time on her watch and reminded Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, it's already 6:30 in the morning, and that guy still hasn't moved at all."
"The curtains seem to have been there all the time, and I don't see this guy coming out. Also, those truck drivers seem to have never returned. In the entire freight yard, there is not even a worker who unloads the goods. It feels quite abnormal."
"It's simple, just ask the other groups in the group." Gu Chen continued to stare at Zhang Da's residence with blazing eyes.
Officer Wang directly took out his mobile phone and started asking questions in the temporary work group.
Soon, other teams sent a response. Officer Wang took a brief look and reminded Gu Chen: "Our people said that those truck drivers all went to the nearby hotel after breakfast at the noodle restaurant. Live there."
"Where do you live?" Gu Chen frowned, then glanced at the direction of the container, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Could it be that we've been discovered? Or that they have always acted like this?" Lu Weiwei couldn't say for sure now, but she felt that the situation was definitely not that simple.
Gu Chen frowned, and continued: "Why don't you wait a little longer?"
"Wait." It felt like that was the only way to go, but Police Officer Wang still reminded:
"However, Gu Chen, I have to remind you that it's almost dawn now, if it wasn't for the cloudy and rainy day today, otherwise the sun would have already risen high at this time."
"I know." Gu Chen glanced at the sky, even though it was covered with dark clouds, the entire Jiangnan City was shrouded in darkness.
But as time goes by, the sky will become brighter and brighter. At that time, this hidden position may be exposed at any time.
Because of Gu Chen's investigation before, in the entire freight station, except for the monitoring equipment at the entrance of a few office areas, the other monitoring equipment has become a decoration, so Gu Chen hid here, it is considered safe.
Time passed by, but Gu Chen suddenly discovered that the curtains of the container window where Zhang Da was located had been pulled down.
However, Zhang Da at this moment has no intention of coming out.
At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that one of the group of freight drivers was walking in from the outside.
Following him, there were two men in blue overalls, who seemed to be the staff of the freight station.
Several people chatted and laughed, and walked directly to the back of the four vans.
The driver first distributed cigarettes to several people, then took out the keys, and opened the rear door locks of the four vans in turn.
"Excuse me." The truck driver raised his chin with a cigarette in his mouth.
Two men in overalls, also seeing cigarettes hanging by their ears, began to open the door of the first van.
Then, one of them jumped into the car and began to throw the contents of the car to another staff member.
The two cooperated tacitly, and boxes of goods were just discarded near the platform.
"Unloading has started." Lu Weiwei first glanced at Gu Chen, then continued to look in the direction of unloading.
But Gu Chen didn't say anything, just continued to observe secretly, observing the movement of Zhang Da's container.
However, everything was so normal, Zhang Da's window of the container room did not move at all.
"What the hell are those?" Police Officer Wang couldn't bear it anymore, so he said it casually.
Gu Chen squinted his eyes to observe, and said slowly: "It seems that the weight of each box is very light, and they can even easily pick up the carton and throw it aside."
"Then, do you want to go over and check it now?" Lu Weiwei felt that if the back of the van was filled with contraband, then in the past now, everyone could get all the stolen goods.
Police officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen, and continued to remind: "Gu Chen, I think the net can be closed, let the brothers keep an eye on that hotel, most of the drivers are resting in the hotel, they can't escape."
"If there is a problem with these goods, then we can also take advantage of the trend to get all the stolen goods. Now the dawn is fast, and we have no time."
"Okay." Seeing that there is no other effect if we continue to wait like this, Gu Chen reminded: "Let the team guarding the door send someone over to check the situation, we will continue to stay here and do nothing."
"Okay." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang immediately started sending messages in the temporary work group.
Not long after, Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe's team immediately entered the cargo terminal from both sides.
After a brief stop at the door to observe, I immediately found four unloading vehicles.
So everyone walked over quickly and took control of the truck driver who was sitting on the side, smoking and playing with his mobile phone leisurely.
Subsequently, other personnel immediately took the unloading personnel to one side.
From Gu Chen's perspective, Wu Xiaofeng called the three suspects to one side, while the others started to check the goods by pedaling.
"What the hell is it?" Lu Weiwei clenched her fists. Although she didn't check closely, she still looked forward to Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe's finding clues in the truck.
However, the search did not seem to be going well. Using his master-level observation skills, Gu Chen discovered that Wu Xiaofeng opened one of the cardboard boxes and rummaged through the tricks.
However, Gu Chen could tell from Wu Xiaofeng's expression that they seemed to be just some ordinary commodities.
Wu Xiaofeng gave up his position, and sent a text message to the temporary work group on his mobile phone.
Gu Chen and the others immediately clicked to check.
Lu Weiwei looked in disbelief: "Latiao? Why is it called Latiao? The place of production is Jiangnan City? It's still in this place?"
"It can't be the spicy strips produced by the owner of the spicy strips factory, right?" Officer Wang suddenly had a whim.
Later, in the temporary work group, another photo from Wu Xiaofeng was received.
Gu Chen clicked on the picture and found that the address was exactly the small latiao workshop near the forest that he searched before.
"How could this happen?" Seeing this scene, Gu Chen also began to have self-doubt at this moment:
"Why is it produced by this spicy strip factory? Is the spicy strip just a disguise?"
"Perhaps, these people have tampered with the latiao? They hid some contraband in the latiao, and maybe they want to get away with it." Police officer Wang is an old comrade after all.
In terms of experience, he still has his own unique insights.
Since I have also communicated with the police colleagues on the other side of the border of Yunnan Province before, I also know something about criminals and how to hide contraband.
Gu Chen immediately continued to reply in the temporary work group: "Check carefully."
Following Gu Chen's order, the search team led by Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe began to pile up all the goods on one side.
Some police officers pedaled directly and began to check the cargo in the car.
For a while, the scene became busy.
At this moment, Gu Chen reminded: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, we can go out now."
"Let's go." Officer Wang slapped the ground with both hands, and immediately stood up from the prostrate state.
The three of them also bypassed a blind spot, and then began to walk quickly towards the truck.
"Senior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen approaching, Ji Zhe took a step forward and reported:
"Here, all the spicy strips are locally produced."
After the words fell, Ji Zhe handed one of the disassembled spicy strips to Gu Chen's hand.
Gu Chen just glanced briefly, then tore open the package of spicy sticks, then took out a tissue, pulled out one of the spicy sticks, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then glanced at the other spicy sticks in the package .
After a while, Gu Chen was disappointed and stuffed the spicy stick back into the package.
"How is it?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.
Gu Chen shook his head, walked directly in front of the controlled driver, and asked, "Are you from Haidong City?"
"En." The middle-aged driver nodded silently, in front of Gu Chen, he didn't even dare to look directly into Gu Chen's eyes.
"Do you know what is being pulled over this time?" Gu Chen asked again.
"No...not sure." The driver shook his head.
"I don't know? You don't know what you brought over?" Police Officer Wang felt that this kind of nonsense could be made up?
But the truck driver replied nervously: "I... I really don't know. I'm only responsible for driving and delivering these things safely. As for what? That's not my responsibility."
After a pause, seeing several people looking at him suspiciously, the truck driver said again:
"Well, all I know is that what was brought over this time was some food, that's all."
"Then why is it made locally?" Lu Weiwei asked as she pulled out a pack of Latiao from one of the cardboard boxes.
The truck driver shook his head: "How do I know this? I guess it's a return?"
"Who is the consignor?" Officer Wang asked.
"I'm not very clear. It seems to be a customer from Haidong City, right?" Anyway, on the list, the title is not written very clearly. It just asks us to send it to the freight station on the Jiangnan City side. Then, we will hire two porters to take the goods away. The goods are moved from the carriage to the cargo station.
"The rest will be handled by the people at the other end."
"The person at that end? Which end do you mean?" Gu Chen asked.
The truck driver lowered his head, glanced at the container room secretly, and said slowly:
"Just... that is, a manager of the freight station here seems to live in that container house. When we first arrived, we chatted with him."
"It's Zhang Da?" Officer Wang asked.
"Okay...it seems to be Zhang Da." The truck driver was also very nervous now, for fear that he might say the wrong thing.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and the two immediately walked side by side, and arrived at the door of Zhang Da's container.
"Dong dong dong!" Lu Weiwei knocked on the door three times and shouted, "Zhang Da, open the door."
"Who is it?" A tired voice came from inside the room, and within a few seconds, the door lock "clicked".
Zhang Da came out from inside.
When he saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei who were standing in front of him, Zhang Da's eyes lit up, and he said in confusion:
"Why are you? Why did you come here so early in the morning?"
"Zhang Da, what's the matter with those cars?" Gu Chen didn't want to go around with him, so he asked straightforwardly.
