Chapter 6 Unknown body in the dump (6)

Turning his head, he found Factory Director Hu again. "Factory Director Hu, last Wednesday, the day it rained, which coworkers were on the night shift? I'd like to have a chat with them. Also I would like to stay and see how the night goes, can you arrange for one of your coworkers to take me."

Factory Hu immediately said it was no problem, long walked to the duty room to check the attendance records, and called over a small, dark and thin man. "This is the shift leader of our production second shift, Bao Quan, he was the one who led the shift last Wednesday night, and it just so happens that he is also the one tonight. Just ask him if you have anything. I'm sorry, Captain Lu, that, I have to pick up my child, it's already late, can I go first?"

"Yes, yes, I'm the one who caused you trouble." Lu Wenwu said politely.

"Where, you guys who are police officers are the ones who really work hard. Xiao Bao, Captain Lu stays here at night to understand the situation, you take him to our cafeteria for dinner. Captain Lu, I'm really sorry, I have something to do today, so you can make do in our cafeteria. I'll buy you a drink some other day."

"No, no, this is fine, you're welcome, Factory Director Hu."

After sending Factory Director Hu away, Lu Wenwu followed Bao Quan to the cafeteria to eat. Said cafeteria, in fact, is in the sorting station office area empty out a large room, invited two aunts to do a few large pots of food on the table to let the factory workers take turns to eat. Auntie do are home cooking, not rich, but the flavor is heavy, very rice. Lu Wenwu and Bao Quan chatted as they ate. Bao Quan frankly said that their duty is to stay in the sorting building side to finish the finishing work, and then guard the small door, do not allow people outside to enter the work site. They usually don't go to the garbage dump.

The other side of the garbage dump they usually don't go to. It's such a big place, dark, no lights, and chaotic, and honestly not many people have the guts to go there at night.

"'People from outside', what does that mean?" This word Lu Wenwu heard indistinctly.

Bao Quan chewed and swallowed a mouthful of food. "It's just some garbage pickers and vagabonds. The main reason for arranging a watch is to prevent them from tumbling in and stealing things."

"Are there a lot of people like that?"

"Aiya, they say that society is developing fast, but the wallet is not bulging. There are poor people everywhere. But they're usually just hanging around the outskirts of the dump, picking up empty bottles, cardboard shells, scrap metal and scrap metal and whatnot. Where the shovels work, they usually don't go too close."

"And at night?"

"More during the day, and occasionally at night."

"Even you guys don't dare to go at night, they dare to go?" Lu Wenwu intentionally flirted with him.

Bao Quan had a look of seeing through it. "When you're so poor that you only have yourself left, there's nothing to be afraid of. But it's rare, just one or two, and they don't come every day. If you're willing to wait, after the garbage trucks finish unloading, go up to the platform on the roof of our building and look, and if you see a flashlight in the dump, it's coming. But that won't be until almost after eleven."

"Garbage truck?" Lu Wenwu had a wince and seemed to realize something.

"Yeah, where else would all this garbage come from, wouldn't it all be pulled in by garbage trucks?"

"When do they usually come?"

"Wait a little longer, after eight o'clock. Garbage trucks aren't allowed on the road until after the evening rush."
