So far, Gu Chen has gotten two clues from Zhang Shun.

One is Zhang Ting, the owner of a medical beauty shop who is very close to Xu Lei. From Zhang Ting, it seems that we can get some clues about Xu Lei.

Another one is Xu Lei’s husband Xu Feng.

If what Zhang Shun said is true, then Xu Feng’s domestic violence against Xu Lei did indeed exist.

But what everyone saw yesterday was completely the opposite.

If Xu Feng is a person with domestic violence tendencies, then why is he in such a mess? In Gu Chen's opinion, there is only one possibility. Xu Feng is showing weakness and acting for everyone to see.

Perhaps it is to release some kind of "smoke bomb" to everyone to confuse everyone and hide the real purpose.

But Xu Lei dared to split property with Xu Feng and asked for almost all the assets. It can be seen that Xu Lei also has a few trump cards in her hand, at least she can control Xu Feng.

Otherwise Xu Lei would not be so resolute.

If he said he needed property and was eager to invest in Zhang Shun, Gu Chen could understand it, but he wouldn't put all his money into it.

Gu Chen also sorted out these ideas after walking back and forth twice in the cubicle office.

Seeing Zhang Shun still introducing the situation, Gu Chen was also listening carefully.

But the subsequent introduction was almost of no help to me in handling the case.

Looking down at the time, Gu Chen quickly interrupted: "Okay, that's it for today. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Officer Gu." Zhang Shun stood up, held Gu Chen's hand with both hands, and said righteously: "Please be sure to find Xu Lei and bring her back safely."

"I will." Gu Chen nodded silently and patted Zhang Shun's shoulder with his right hand, telling Zhang Shun not to worry.

Afterwards, Gu Chen made a few jokes and took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha directly to Hedong Road, Charming New Era Medical Beauty Institution, and prepared to ask the boss Zhang Ting about the situation.

Charming New Era, the store sign is a bit old, but it is obvious that this is a time-honored medical beauty institution in a prime location.

When Gu Chen parked the car aside and led everyone into the store, a beautiful woman at the front desk saw everyone wearing police uniforms, so she quickly stood up and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Is your boss's name Zhang Ting?" Gu Chen got straight to the point.

The beautiful woman at the front desk nodded silently: "No...that's right."

"Tell her to come out. We need to find her." Officer Wang put his hands on his hips and looked left and right.

There is air conditioning in the lobby, which can be said to be refreshing in this hot summer.

The female receptionist didn't know the purpose of the police coming, and she didn't dare to call the boss directly. She just replied weakly: "I...I don't know if the boss is here. How about...how about I call and ask?"

"Then hurry up." Officer Wang also urged.

The female receptionist secretly glanced at Officer Wang, then sat back in her seat, bowed down, and covered her pretty lips with her hands. After dialing the phone, she whispered a reminder: "Madam boss, a group of police officers came to the store, saying they are here to see you...

"

Although the female receptionist spoke in a low voice, Gu Chen, who has master-level observation skills, could still hear everything clearly.

I was cooperating with the female receptionist, thinking that my boss's wife had done something serious, so I wanted to communicate with him in advance to see if the boss's wife could come out.

After learning this, Gu Chen also smiled slightly, and while the female receptionist was still communicating with Zhang Ting, he said directly:

"Isn't your landlady upstairs? Just ask her to come down. We are looking for her mainly to understand the situation and inquire about individuals. That's all. You don't need to be too nervous."

"Ah?" I felt like I had spoken very quietly, but the policeman could still hear me clearly.

The female receptionist suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she repeated Gu Chen's original words.

After a short communication, the female receptionist hung up the phone, raised her head and said, "The boss lady will be here soon. Please sit over here."

After the words fell, the female receptionist directly opened one of the small rooms, allowing everyone to sit inside and rest for a while.

Then, he respectfully poured tea for several people.

Not long after Gu Chen thanked everyone, a middle-aged woman with a slim figure and a good face walked directly into the room.

Although the woman's face was radiant, her dress and temperament were top-notch, but Gu Chen could still tell that she was about 50 years old.

Seeing Gu Chen and others, the woman also smiled and said: "Comrade police, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

"Are you Zhang Ting?" Gu Chen looked up and down at the person coming.

The woman nodded silently and replied enthusiastically: "Yes, I am the owner of this beauty institution, but... I don't seem to know any of them?"

"You don't know us, but we know you." Gu Chen didn't waste any time. After turning on the law enforcement recorder, he took out the transcript and said, "You should know Xu Lei, right?"

"Xu...Xu Lei? What's wrong with Xu Lei?" Zhang Ting, the proprietress, is a businessman after all. By observing her words, she has already understood the purpose of Gu Chen's trip. It seems that she is here to inquire about Xu Lei.

So he also showed an unusual attitude.

Lu Weiwei replied directly: "Xu Lei disappeared last night. Her vehicle has been parked at a construction site. Her husband Xu Feng has called the police. Therefore, based on the people who have a good relationship with Xu Lei, we have been looking for you here and want to talk to you.

Find out about Xu Lei’s situation.”

"Missing?" Zhang Ting's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she heard Lu Weiwei's explanation.

But soon, Zhang Ting tried her best to calm down, and then asked: "So that's it? But why did Xu Lei disappear?"

"This is also the purpose of our visit this time." Yuan Shasha said at the side.

Zhang Ting nodded slightly: "I understand. If you have anything to ask, just ask. I will tell you what I know."

After all, she is a businesswoman. When the police said this, she naturally knew what role she should play in this interview.

Gu Chen also got straight to the point: "You and Xu Lei should be familiar with each other, right?"

"Yes, she is a regular customer of mine. We have known each other for many years," Zhang Ting said.

"Have Xu Lei offended anyone these days?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhang Ting silently shook her head: "I don't know this very well, but Xu Lei always takes things seriously."

"Although she and I have been friends for many years, there are some things that she won't tell me. She just feels like she likes to hide everything."

"As for what you said, has she ever offended anyone? She really hasn't. After all, Xu Lei doesn't have many friends. She offends people? That's even less likely. I feel like she's a pretty quiet person."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded slightly, recorded the information, and then asked: "Did you set up the business with Xu Lei with Zhang Shun, right?"

"Uh..." It felt like Gu Chen knew everything. Zhang Ting's expression was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and quickly replied: "This Zhang Shun, yes, he came to my store to experience it with some friends before.

We only got to know each other after we chatted.”

"Later on, when I had dinner with friends, I would meet him occasionally, and I felt that he was quite powerful, especially in terms of resource channels. I felt that he was a man of talent, and he would have whatever resources he needed."

"So, when Zhang Shun proposed his business idea at the dinner table, we laughed at him because it was a fantasy, and it seemed a bit illusory."

"But later, Zhang Shun succeeded in slapping us in the face. He did it. Not only did he acquire a 5,000-square-meter warehouse without spending a penny, but he also integrated most of the manufacturers that deal with clothing tail goods."

After a pause, Zhang Ting couldn't hide her admiration and said directly: "So seeing how successful he was, we all felt that Zhang Shun was reliable."

"I also heard that he wanted to recruit partners, so after discussion with several of our friends, we were ready to cooperate with him."

"What about Xu Lei?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Xu Lei? Xu Lei is because when she was doing beauty treatments here, she heard from me that she was currently working on a clothing e-commerce business, so she is also somewhat interested."

"But..." Zhang Ting looked up at everyone, and suddenly stopped talking.

"But what?" Yuan Shasha asked her directly.

Zhang Ting hesitated for a moment, but still confessed frankly: "But later I found out that Zhang Shun and Xu Lei had actually known each other for a long time."

"So, this cooperation business was concluded happily."

"And because we have a good relationship with Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun has always regarded us as key partners."

"So that's it?" After learning about this situation, Officer Wang quickly asked: "Then what do you think is the relationship between Zhang Shun and Xu Lei? Is it as simple as old acquaintances?"

"Of course not." Zhang Ting responded with a smile: "Actually, I found out after asking Xu Lei privately that the two were lovers before."

"However, we have not been in contact for many years, and now we can become partners again. It can be said to be fate."

After a pause, Zhang Ting added: "I know that Zhang Shun is not married yet, and Xu Lei seems to be getting divorced, so I asked Xu Lei in a subtle way, is it possible for the two of them?"

"What did Xu Lei say?" Officer Wang asked.

"Xu Lei said, let's wait and see. After all, she and Zhang Shun still have feelings for each other. When they get divorced this time, they may want to cooperate with Zhang Shun after dividing their property. I guess there will still be some drama between the two of them."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ting asked again: "Comrade police, why are you asking these questions?"

"I just want to objectively understand the relationship between several people." After Gu Chen recorded all the information, he continued to ask Zhang Ting: "What do you think of the relationship between Xu Lei and her husband Xu Feng?"

"No." Zhang Ting shook her head and said honestly: "Xu Lei often comes to our store for maintenance, and sometimes I do it for her myself."

"I found that Xu Lei had many wounds on her body, most of which were bruises. I asked her what happened? She said that her husband beat her, and I said, why don't you call the police? She said that there is no use in calling the police."

"Are you sure?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Zhang Ting nodded fiercely: "There is nothing uncertain about this. Not only me, but several people in our store have seen it. Anyway, except for the face, there are almost wounds everywhere."

"I was thinking at the time, who is Xu Lei's husband? He often beats women and domestically abuses his wife?"

"Anyway, at that time, I and the people in the store advised her to divorce, but she seemed to endure it for the sake of her career."

"Furthermore, Xu Lei also said that the reason why her husband did not slap her in the face was to cover up his sinful face."

After saying this, Zhang Ting also shook her head and said with a look of sadness and anger: "Tell me, how can there be such a cruel husband in this world?"
