The owner of the grocery store was a man in his fifties with a somewhat thin figure. He saw Zhengzhou walking in and greeted him warmly.

Zhengzhou nodded to him expressionlessly, then looked back at the door. He saw an action team member squatting like an idle man under the tree across the street, and another action team member followed behind him.

When I entered the grocery store, I was still pretending to choose goods.

Then he said to the grocery store owner: "Did your guy go to the hotel opposite to deliver cigarettes just now?"

When the grocery store owner heard this question, he quickly pointed to a young man next to him who was cleaning the counter with a feather duster and said, "Oh, that's him."

The young man glanced at Zhengzhou and said angrily: "Obviously, a guy just came over and said he wanted two packs of Fortress cigarettes in the hotel room, but I sent them to him and they didn't ask for them."

"Do you know the person who just asked you to deliver cigarettes to that room in the hotel? What does he do?" Zhengzhou continued to ask.

The young guy glanced at him, shook his head, and said angrily: "Who knows him? That guy is really a person who has nothing to do when he's full. People who want to have fun shouldn't look for a guy like me."

There is a 'Lichun Hall' not far away. If you have money, you can go there to have fun."

At this time, the owner of the grocery store next to him felt something was wrong. He scolded the young clerk and told him to go to work quickly. Then he glanced at Zhengzhou and asked with a smile: "Ask this gentleman, are you...

…”

Zhengzhou glanced at him, took out a military command bureau ID card from his pocket, flashed it in front of his eyes, and said, "Do you understand?"

It seemed that the owner of this grocery store had good eyesight and was literate. He nodded quickly and said, "Sir, I see clearly."

"Just look at it clearly. You can answer my questions honestly now and don't hide anything. Otherwise..." After saying that, he looked up and looked around the grocery store.

The grocery store owner was obviously a man who had seen the world. He nodded quickly and said, "I understand, sir. What do you want to know, sir? I will definitely tell you everything!"

Zhengzhou heard that the grocery store owner had a good attitude, so he smiled and said, "What's your surname, boss? How long has the store been opened here?"

"Sir, your surname is Wen. Wen of Wenquan has opened this grocery store here for at least twenty years." The owner of the grocery store pointed out two fingers.

"So, Boss Wen is an old neighbor here. He should be familiar with the people around him, right?" Zhengzhou continued to ask.

Boss Wen nodded and said: "To be honest with you, sir, this area is full of old residents, all from poor families. You see, the old houses here are built topsy-turvy. In recent years, with the renovation of the new city of Shangqing Temple, they are still there.

Several decent houses have been built, otherwise this place would really be in disgrace..."

Zhengzhou heard Boss Wen talking nonstop and quickly interrupted him and asked: "Boss Wen, let me ask you, have some strangers appeared here recently?"

Boss Wen was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "Sir, you really have a good eye. It's true. There have been some strangers wandering around on the street recently."

When Zhengzhou heard this, he nodded and asked, "Boss Wen, what do you think these people are like?"

Boss Wen hesitated for a moment and looked at another action team member who was selecting items. Then he lowered his voice and said to Zhengzhou: "Sir, this is what you do." After saying that, he raised his hand and did it.

He looked like a pistol and said in a lower voice: "I see, they are playing this just like you."

When Zhengzhou heard this, his eyes widened and he said: "Boss Wen, don't talk nonsense. We are a government department handling cases, how can we be the same as them?"

These words frightened Boss Wen, and he hurriedly explained: "Sir, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, that's not what I meant, that's not what I meant."

Seeing Boss Wen's frightened look, Zhengzhou didn't give him any more expressions. With a bit of a smile on his face, he asked, "Where do these people live? What are they doing around here?"

Boss Wen hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "These people seem to be interested in the hotel opposite. In fact, I thought they were gangsters, but then I thought about it, people who live in that kind of small hotel, even if

It’s true that we don’t have much money, so what’s worth grabbing?”

Zhengzhou said "Oh" and asked again: "Did anyone ask you anything?"

"They actually asked me about the situation of the small hotel opposite, and they saw that one of them went to check out the hotel." Boss Wen said to Zhengzhou with certainty.

Then he looked around again and lowered his voice and said: "The world has been a little chaotic recently. I was thinking about whether I should call the police or remind Boss Jin across the street, but I didn't dare! Then if those people find out, come to me.

Trouble, then I will be miserable!"

Boss Wen was telling the truth. He also knew that Zhengzhou was from the Military Control Bureau. He already felt that this matter was not as simple as a few robbers as he had initially thought. Therefore, he really did not hide it.

, expressed his thoughts to Zhengzhou.

"How many people are there in total? When do they usually come to hang out nearby?" Zhengzhou continued to ask.

"Sir, there are three of them. Basically, they hang around around ten o'clock in the morning every day, and they will come again at six or seven o'clock in the evening. Moreover, the man who leads them especially likes to come to my grocery store.

He bought cigarettes, and he smoked Hardman brand cigarettes. As you know, these cigarettes are relatively expensive, so I was particularly impressed."

Zhengzhou glanced at him with admiration, nodded and said, "What does that man look like? Does Boss Wen still remember?"

Boss Wen thought for a while and said: "Sir, that man is neither tall nor short, but his muscles can be seen to be very strong. By the way, he also has an obvious feature, that is, he has a black lump under his left ear.

The moles are a bit eye-catching, and you can spot them just by taking a quick look."

Zhengzhou carefully asked Boss Wen about other situations. When he saw that he couldn't find anything useful, he said to him: "Boss Wen, you are a sensible person. What I said to you today should not be expressed to anyone."

People mention it, do you understand?"

Boss Wen quickly nodded and said: "Sir, don't worry, I will never mention it to anyone else." At the same time, he also added: "Sir, I am a good citizen."

Zhengzhou smiled and nodded to him and said: "Okay, Boss Wen, I believe you, you can also pack the Hademen for me!" As he said that, he took out a few bills from his pocket and threw them on the counter.

.

The boss quickly took out a pack of "Hardman" cigarettes from the counter and handed it to Zhengzhou along with the money he threw on the counter. He said cautiously: "Sir, you have worked so hard, so I won't accept the money."
