Chapter 49 The Boatman
"What a pity." Kelly Losedi felt a little regretful.
It is more than 400 square meters square, and the address is an office building in the city of Nanlin City, which is also of high quality.
Moreover, this price is indeed a price to jump off the property, otherwise Kelly would not have recommended it to Li Changqing.
"By the way, I was contacted by a commission yesterday." Kelly Losedi remembered something and said: "Yesterday someone called me according to the contact number on the flyer. It was a boss from Linjiang Wharf. He wanted to invite us to come to discuss the commission."
Li Changqing's eyes lit up. This was good news. He said to Tang Xiaoyu in the house: "Xiaoyu, you're ready to go out."
Linjiang is a river that penetrates the middle of Nanlin City.
In other words, the original Nanlin City was a city built along the river. The water and land here were developed and developed by water and land trade.
Corresponding to this are various bustling wharfs, shipyards, cargo ships, fishing boats, etc.
Linjiang Wharf is the top three wharfs in Nanlin City.
There are various containers filled with cargo, and cargo ships are docking and loading and unloading goods.
Trucks also entered the dock one after another.
On this street, there were many trucks, Li Changqing, Tang Xiaoyu, Kelly and Luosaidi, who took a taxi and entered the office building in the dock directly.
This is a five-story building built by myself. The staff at the dock are constantly entering and exiting.
Before coming, Kelly Losedi had already called.
A man in a suit and slightly bald man held a cigarette in his hand and looked at his watch anxiously from time to time.
The taxi stopped and the three got off.
"You are Detective Kelly, an internationally renowned detective."
The man stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and smiled: "My name is Huang Chao, I am the boss here, who are these two?"
Kelly Lossidi smiled lightly: "My two assistants."
Stepping on the horse...
Li Changqing cursed inwardly, but the middle-aged man obviously came to Kelly for the international detective who was promoting the leaflet.
This is exactly the effect Li Changqing wants to achieve, so he will naturally not destroy it.
"Xiao Li, help me hold my coat."
"Yes, Mr. Kelly."
Li Changqing smiled and took Kelly Lossidi's clothes.
Huang Chao thought to himself that he is worthy of being an international detective, and his assistants are all in charge.
"Let's chat in my office."
Huang Chao's office is very large, with a leather sofa, a large wine cabinet filled with red wine, and a desk filled with messy documents.
Huang Chao sat on the sofa and said, "Three, my entrustment is to help find someone."
Looking for someone?
Kelly Losedi: "Who are you looking for?"
Huang Chao hesitated for a moment, then took out two photos and placed them on the table: "These are two workers at my dock. They were on duty the night before yesterday to watch over the goods, but the people disappeared the next day. The surveillance showed that they did not leave the dock through the gate."
"But we searched the entire dock and couldn't find their traces."
Kelly Losedi glanced at the two people in the photo, who were vaguely around thirty years old. He asked, "Did they disappear in the dock?"
Missing case?
Although Li Changqing has his own guess, his identity is an assistant at this moment, so I can't ask more questions.
"Term money is 20,000 yuan, you guys see?" Huang Chao said with a smile.
Li Changqing and Huang Chao looked at each other and quickly agreed.
They took out their carry-on letter of attorney and quickly signed an agreement with Huang Chao.
"Boss Huang, are there any clues about the disappearance of the two of them?"
After signing the contract, Kelly Lossidi handed it to Li Changqing beside him.
"Well..." Huang Chao thought about it carefully and said, "They had had a conflict with a person ferrying on the river."
"Those guys are still rowing boats and sending people across the river every day. You said, what era is this?"
In the past, the pedestrians who came and went to transport goods were basically transported back and forth by boating and ferrying.
However, with the progress of the times, fewer and fewer people have taken such ferry boats to cross the river.
However, the nearest bridge along the coast is three kilometers away. Nearby residents will occasionally take this slightly ancient way to the other side.
Huang Chao said: "Now there are more than ten ferrymen on this river. Because of them, they often affect the mooring of cargo ships. Therefore, the people at our dock will come to them every now and then, and have a fight."
"Before they disappeared, they had a quarrel with a boatman named Ye, and finally had a very unpleasant fight."
"Boatman?" Li Changqing asked.
Huang Chao waved and took them to the window of the office building.
You can see the entire river here.
At this moment, a man wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat was rowing and sending people across the river.
On the shore, there are also several simple brick houses and more than a dozen small boats.
The boatmen were sitting on their boats chatting, and from time to time, someone would come to take the boat.
"These guys are out of touch with the times and will sooner or later be eliminated." Huang Chao said impatiently.
His dock business is often influenced by this group of people and has negotiated with them several times, but in the end it has no results.
"I know, we will investigate first."
Kelly Losedi had a faint smile on her face.
The three of them walked out of Huang Chao's office.
Tang Xiaoyu asked Li Changqing: "Can it be the boatman named Ye who killed people with grudges because of a quarrel?"
"From Boss Huang's tone, it is common for people at their dock to have conflicts with these boatmen."
"The possibility is not very high, but it also needs to be investigated."
"Kelly, you can take a look near the dock first. Xiaoyu and I will ask the boatman named Ye to see if there will be any gains."
Kelly Lossidi: "Okay, there are clues, I'll call you."
After walking out of the pier with Tang Xiaoyu, a small road was built along the embankment along the river road. Following the path, we soon arrived at the riverside.
There are overgrown weeds by the river, but the weeds have been trampled out of a way.
Five square buildings have been built here, which should be the temporary residence of the boatman.
At this moment, eight boatmen were sitting on their respective fishing boats, smoking cigarettes and chatting in yellow voice.
Seeing Li Changqing and Tang Xiaoyu coming, he quickly stopped his mouth.
"Two, are you going to the other side by boat? Ten man coins."
A boatman with a slightly dark skin asked with a smile.
Tang Xiaoyu was about to ask about the situation at the wharf, but Li Changqing smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, go to the opposite side."
After saying that, he pulled Tang Xiaoyu onto the boat.
This wooden boat is equipped with a simple tent with small benches on it.
The boatman skillfully sailed the boat to the river surface.
"Master, you have been ferrying here for a while." Li Changqing asked casually.
The boatman nodded: "It's been a few years, it's almost twelve years, so I'll make some hard money."
