Chapter Thirty-Seven The Car Was Smashed

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei returned to the farmhouse, it was already dark. Sitting on the kang, Zhu Xiao Fei pulled out the delivery receipt: one ton of coal for 230 yuan, each truck carried 50 tons, a total of 300 tons; expenses on the road and accommodation were 1800 yuan. In less than five minutes, Zhu Xiao Fei calculated that this trip they made a net profit of 22,000 yuan.

  Two people were excited and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, although they had made a lot of money in the past few days, but that money was accumulated bit by bit, this time it was earned all at once, there is an essential difference.

  The two of them lay on the kang and discussed it for half the night. They planned to make a second trip in a few days, this time with the help of Xiao Dage and Zhou Jia brothers in the big city, so it would be much easier. The source of goods should not be a problem, and when delivering the goods, Liu Bapi should not cause trouble again. The only thing to be careful about is Da Tou, this kid will definitely not let go after being beaten.

  After a night of discussion, the two men decided not to rush into asking for money tomorrow. In the morning, they would first go to the county town to buy some gifts. Both Zhao Weiguo and Deputy Manager Liu needed to be given gifts, but Zhao Weiguo was a straightforward person, so giving him gifts required some skill. Directly giving him gifts might mess things up.

  The next day, the two of them went to wait for the bus early in the morning. Unexpectedly, even after the sun had risen, they still hadn't seen their own bus appear. Heizi suspected that something was wrong, otherwise at this time there should have been a bus of their own waiting by the side of the road for people.

  Two men waited for a while, and a long-distance Victory car came over. Hei Zi intercepted the car and asked: "Master Wu, have you seen those few cars of mine?"

  The driver who was driving said to Heizi: "Heizi, your cars have been smashed, yesterday afternoon all four of your cars were smashed by someone, and the people in the car were also beaten."

  "Hei Zi hastily asked: 'Is the injury of the person in the car serious?'"

  "Wu Master shook his head and said: 'I don't know either, I heard they were sent to the district hospital, the car was badly damaged.'"

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei hastily got into Wu Shifu's car. It seems that buying gifts is out of the question today.

  The hospital was not big, and it was easy to find the ward where Yin Le and his brothers were staying. As soon as Hei Zi entered the ward, he saw two people in police uniforms standing in front of the second bed, one asking questions and the other taking notes. Yin Le and his two younger brothers were all lying on their beds watching, with bandages wrapped around their heads, and a cast on Yin Le's leg.

  Two policemen heard someone coming in and turned around. Hei Zi took a look at one of them, recognizing him as Li Pengfei, the captain of the criminal police brigade at the sub-bureau.

  "Heizi, aren't they all your brothers?" Peng Fei pointed at the people on the bed and said.

  "Hei Zi nodded and said: 'They are my friends, who hit them?'"

  Peng Fei gave Hei Zi a white eye and said: "We know who beat us, we'll go catch him, what's the point of coming here?"

  Hei Zi didn't even glance at the two policemen and walked up to Yin Le's window, asking: "Le Er, who hit you?"

  Yin Le shook his head and said: "I don't know any of them, they might be from the county town."

  "Hei Zi nodded and said: 'Brothers, don't worry about it for now, just focus on recovering from your injuries.'"

  There were police asking questions, and Hei Zi found it inconvenient to answer. He turned his head, thinking of leaving, when Peng Fei said: "Hei Zi, you can't act rashly now. The whole country is cracking down on the passenger transport market, and our local bureau suspects that there are also car thieves and road bullies here. The bureau has already set up a special case team to investigate this matter."

  "Heizi didn't even turn his head and grunted: 'Tan Chang, can I go buy some fruit for my brothers?'"

  "Hei Zi, this is a criminal case, not some trivial matter like a casino. If you interfere with our investigation, it'll be big trouble." Peng Fei, the detective, said menacingly to Hei Zi.

  Who opened the casino was well known to Peng Fei, and some of his subordinates were also frequent visitors to the casino. They didn't bother with such trivial matters, they had bigger cases to deal with.

  "Detective, you can eat whatever medicine you want, if you die from it, that's your own problem. But words can't be spoken carelessly, they hurt too many people." Hei Zi retorted, not taking Li Pengfei seriously at all.

  "Hei Zi, don't make me unhappy again, I'm warning you. Be more careful in the future and don't fall into my hands." Li Peng said with a fierce glint in his eyes, gritting his teeth.

  "Got it, Inspector." Kuroko replied casually as he walked out of the hospital room.

  Peng Fei shook his head helplessly. He neither disliked nor liked Heizi, he just wanted to avoid him, knowing that Heizi was trouble.

  Hei Zi took Zhuo Xiao Fei to the traffic police team to find Liu Da Peng as soon as he left the hospital. They only had one friend, Liu Da Peng, in the county town.

  When they arrived at the traffic police team, the two were disappointed. Liu Dapeng was not there. The people in the office told him that Liu Dapeng and several others had gone to the East City's Yingbin Avenue to perform tasks.

  The Welcome Avenue is about 700 or 800 meters long. Hei Zi doesn't know where Liu Da Peng is, he gets on the car and tells the taxi driver to go to Welcome Avenue, wherever there's a traffic police, stop there. The driver keeps sneaking glances at them along the way. As soon as they enter Welcome Avenue, the taxi stops, and Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei are thrown out of the car.

  The Welcome Avenue is the widest and best-equipped road in the county town, it's a model road designated by the district. In summer, there are cars sprinkling water on it every day, and in winter, the snow sweeping car comes here more than ten times a day.

  Two people walked helplessly along the wide welcoming avenue from west to east, with cars and pedestrians shuttling back and forth on the street. They kept looking around but couldn't find a single traffic police officer, not even a police car.

  After walking more than 300 meters, Heizi finally found a speed measuring car of the traffic police team in a small alley, and the two rushed forward to ask.

  There were three young men in their early twenties sitting in the car, chatting with each other. They were interrupted by Hei Zi and looked quite unhappy about it. When they heard that Hei Zi was looking for Liu Pengfei, the three of them finally cracked a smile.

  A young man got off the car and said: "Come on, I'll take you there. Otherwise, you won't be able to find it."

  Under the leadership of young people, Heizi and Zhu Xiaofei found Liu Pengfei in a bungalow, where he was hanging monkeys with several others.

  A large bowl was placed on the table, with a pair of chopsticks on top. A middle-aged traffic police officer stared at the bowl with his eyes wide open and shouted: Six, six, six.

  Liu Pengfei and several other traffic police officers in their thirties stood around, Liu Pengfei holding a cigarette, looking very nervous.

  "Liu Ge, someone is looking for you." The young man who brought Hei Zi and the others shouted.

  "What are you looking for? Can't you see I've lost?" Liu Pengfei shouted with a burning anxiety, without even lifting his head.

  Hei Zi glanced at Liu Pengfei, seeing that he only had four or five 10-yuan tickets left in his hand. He nodded to Zhu Xiaofei, who smiled knowingly and pulled out several 100-yuan bills from her pocket and threw them over to Liu Pengfei.

  Seeing the money, Liu Pengfei finally looked up and saw that it was them. He happily said: "Brothers, how did you guys come?"

  "Hei Zi smiled and said, 'I've come to bring you money.'"

  Liu Pengfei knew that Heizi and the others must have something going on, they wouldn't come here for no reason. He picked up the money that Zhu Xiaofei had thrown over and said: "Let's make another bet, it's almost time to end the game."

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei stood by watching, Liu Pengfei threw the dice again and got a two, losing once more. He stepped back saying: "You all carry on playing, my brother has something to discuss with me."

  Out of the bungalow, Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei told Liu Peng Fei about the situation one after another. After thinking for a moment, Liu Peng Fei said: "This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult to ask around, you guys go to the hospital and wait for me, I'll go find someone to ask around right now."

  Liu Pengfei finished speaking and took out his mobile phone to contact someone. Hei Zi and Zhu Xiaofei looked at him in surprise, they didn't think Liu Pengfei would use a mobile phone too.

  Liu Pengfei saw them looking at their own phones and said: "Just bought it, only 7,000 yuan, you should also buy one, it's convenient to contact each other."
