The next morning, Li Zhen came to the front of Liu Ji BBQ Restaurant.

The shops around were bustling because of the approaching Spring Festival, so they showed the desolation and desolation of the store. He handed his hand in his pocket in his coat, wandered around the door of the store for a while, and then went to a newsstand on the roadside not far away, picked up a magazine and flipped through it.

The owner of the newsstand looked at him for a while and hesitated: "Why do I think you are so good at it..."

Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Oh, I used to go to that restaurant to eat." He said, pointing at Liu Ji Barbecue, and sighed regretfully, "I came here again today, but it ended up closing. Isn't their business quite good?"

The owner was a middle-aged man with a fat and bald man. When he heard him ask this, he became interested - and this was what Li Zhen expected. In the past, he was working on Liu Ji barbecue, so of course he knew what kind of character this uncle had.

"It doesn't matter whether the business is good or not." The owner whispered, waved his hand at the same time, with a mysterious expression, "His family offended people! As a result, it was said that the hygiene inspection failed and the business was suspended and rectified!"

The hygiene inspection failed... Li Zhen smiled in his heart - did he know that Aunt Liu was so clean, Qi Yuanshan had been scolded by her for not cleaning the plates.

But he still showed a surprised and curious look and closed the magazine in his hand: "Who did you offend?"

"Hey, didn't you hit someone some time ago..." He started and then looked at the magazine in Li Zhen's hand.

So Li Zhen smiled and took out the money and handed it over: "I want this book."

The owner then continued while asking him for money: "Some time ago, their guy asked someone to beat him, but he was the boss's nephew. He was very injured. I heard that he is still in the hospital now. Then the boss's wife went to report the case and asked the police station to arrest people. We all know the three gangsters who beat him, but they didn't know who they had found at home, and they said they wanted to settle the matter privately."

Li Zhen frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's the name of the hit person?"

"Oh, you don't know me even after I said that. The leader is Yu Yongqiang. We are very annoying to them." The boss grabbed the few hairs on his head. "I thought it was just three sluts. I only realized this when the matter came out. The relationship between them was not simple."

“How to say it?”

"You think, those three people have been wandering around this area for a year or two. They usually fight and scold individuals, but they come to charge some protection fees - why no one cares about it?" The boss shook his head, "In addition, this time, everyone was beaten to the hospital - almost killed. As a result, the police station asked if they wanted to settle privately. The boss said he would not do it and insisted that they arrest people, but they said they didn't know who was hitting the person and couldn't arrest them."

"Isn't this nonsense? We all know who beat me!" The boss waved his hand angrily, "Then the people around us went to the police station with the boss to testify. At first, we said we couldn't get a certificate without looking at anything that night. Later, we made a fuss all morning, and the people let go and arrested people in the afternoon. As a result, they delayed for several days. When they asked, they said that they couldn't find the person... What's nonsense? People are just wandering around here, so how can they not find them?"

Li Zhen took a deep breath: "What about?"

"Then the boss's wife went to the police station every day to make trouble. After four or five days, someone came to check her store, and then said that the hygiene was not qualified and the sealed." The boss spread his hands and sighed, "In this world, don't offend officials. Maybe any relative in Yu Yongqiang's family has something to do with the people in the police station."

Li Zhen was silent for a while. The owner of the store may be correct. Yu Yongqiang and his group were a little strange. He was deceived on the first day he returned to this city - through the information of applying for fake certificates on the wall. He felt that it was not the first time he had been deceived, and someone must have been cheated by them before.

However, strangely, these three guys were fine. After cheating him of money, they ran to the barbecue stall not far away to eat - with such psychological qualities, they could be snipers.

What's more, in addition to lying, they also have side jobs - "collecting protection fees". And... dare to stab people with a knife.

It is incredible that these three people can live to this day safely.

So he asked, "Do you have the contact information of the boss lady?"

The shop owner looked at him suspiciously: "...what do?"

"I know a few people. Maybe it can help." Li Zhen smiled, "his stuff is delicious."

The owner looked at him for a while before slowly taking out his cell phone. While flipping through the phone number, he said, "It would be great if you can help me. I still have a good person. If I hadn't seen you be kind, I wouldn't have called her to you - I'm afraid that someone would scare her... It's not easy for a widow. I'm watching her open the store bit by bit in recent years..."

Li Zhen patiently listened to what he said for a long time before she wrote down Aunt Liu's phone number. Then he nodded to the owner and walked away with the magazine.

He walked to the corner not far ahead and stood down and dialed the number.

The first time no one answered, he called again. But no one answered. So he put the magazine on a table behind him, sat on it and waited quietly for five minutes, and then called again.

This time it's done.

The voice on the other end of the phone looked gloomy and nervous, and he said, "Hey? Who are you looking for?"

It was indeed Aunt Liu's voice. So Li Zhen whispered: "Aunt Liu, it's me, Li Zhen. I heard something happened in the far mountain."

The other side of the phone was stunned, and after a long time, he said, "...Li Zhen? Where are you really Li Zhen?"

"Listen to my voice." Li Zhen smiled, "I'm right."

Aunt Liu paused for a while and hesitated: "Then you are..."

"I heard about the Yuanshan incident." Li Zhen said in a deep voice, "So call you to see if you can help. The situation here was quite complicated some time ago and I couldn't contact you. What's the situation there now?"

"My side..." Aunt Liu's voice was a little more joyful, "My side... let's do it, I can't tell you clearly on the phone. Where are you? I'll go find you."

"I'll go find you." Li Zhen smiled, "I haven't visited your house for so long."

Aunt Liu simply reported her address and was surprised that Li Zhen could contact her actively - as if she was like Qi Yuanshan at the time, she attributed Li Zhen's strange situation to some amazing "big man" he met.
