Lu Weiwei looked at the diners in the courtyard and seemed to enjoy it, but queuing up would kill her.

If we follow the algorithm of 4 people per table, there are 6 tables in the whole yard. Just waiting for the meal will require another round.

Seeing that it was already meal time, Lu Weiwei didn't want to waste time here, so she took Gu Chen and suggested: "Let's go over and have a look, and come back next time."

"Okay." Gu Chen didn't know what to do. After all, he was already here, so Lu Weiwei had to go to the yard to check in no matter what.

Otherwise, this trip will be in vain.

Walking to the entrance of the courtyard, Lu Weiwei handed her cell phone to Gu Chen, and then posed for a photo.

Gu Chen is also very professional. This is not the first time he helped Lu Weiwei take pictures. He perfectly used the courtyard lighting art to help Lu Weiwei complete the shooting.

But just when he wanted to walk around the courtyard, he was forced in by a group of female customers.

In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with customers, and there was no background for taking photos.

Lu Weiwei was a little disappointed and couldn't help but said: "What is the magic of this store? Can it attract so many customers? Is the food really so delicious?"

"It's not that the food is delicious, it's that the store owner is very handsome." Seeing Lu Weiwei muttering there, a middle-aged woman whispered.

"Very handsome? Can he be more handsome than my Junior Brother Gu?" With curiosity, Lu Weiwei glanced towards the kitchen.

I saw a tall man dressed in a chef's attire, waving a large spoon and frying the dishes in the pot.

A group of middle-aged women gathered around him, and everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures of everything.

Lu Weiwei took two steps forward and admired it, then waved to Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, look quickly, maybe this is the traffic password?"

"Traffic password?" Gu Chen didn't quite understand.

Lu Weiwei continued to explain: "Didn't you notice? Most of the people who come here to eat are middle-aged female customers. Do you think they really come here to eat delicious food? In fact, they come here to see the handsome guys."

"As for the boss, he does look like a model. It's no wonder these female customers are willing to come here to spend money."

"Otherwise, why is he an Internet celebrity? Didn't you listen to what the female customer just said? This is a store opened by an Internet celebrity." Gu Chen also responded to Lu Weiwei's remarks based on the previous female customer's remarks.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "Okay, this is not my cup of tea. I feel that this Internet celebrity should be single. Otherwise, according to the attributes of these middle-aged female customers, they will not be interested in married men."

Patting Gu Chen on the shoulder, Lu Weiwei nuzzled her chin: "Junior Brother Gu, let's go and change our restaurant to eat."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently and followed Lu Weiwei.

As a senior foodie, Lu Weiwei felt that even though she had not tasted the dishes in this secret restaurant, she could come here next time.

For urban villages like Xinghua Village, Lu Weiwei also has a good idea of ​​what delicacies are worth looking forward to.

Not long after walking out of the alley, he took Gu Chen to an old restaurant for dinner.

Although the environment is a bit worse, the food tastes very unique.

As an old store, it still has the ability to retain the taste buds of customers.

After the meal, it was already 8pm.

At this time, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were preparing to pay and leave.

A call from Officer Wang came directly.

Gu Chen didn't think much, turned on the answer button and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, what's going on?"

"Gu Chen, Xiao Yuan and I have already found out the whereabouts of Zhang Wenkai last night."

"How's it going?" When he heard it was about Zhang Wenkai, Gu Chen immediately concentrated his attention.

Officer Wang said: "When the nurse did her ward rounds yesterday, she discovered that Zhang Wenkai was not in the ward. The time was probably around 9:20 pm."

"Are you sure where Zhang Wenkai went?" Gu Chen asked again.

Officer Wang sighed helplessly: "That's the problem. Zhang Wenkai once went out shopping, but the surveillance was unable to capture his specific whereabouts."

"This guy seemed to be in the hospital and had a thorough understanding of the distribution of these surveillance systems. He left the ward around 9:10 and went shopping."

"Wait a minute." Before Officer Wang could finish his words, Gu Chen interrupted directly: "Brother Wang, how did you judge that Zhang Wenkai was out shopping?"

"Because when he returned to the ward, he was carrying two bags full of things." Officer Wang said.

"What's the time? When will you be back?" Gu Chen asked again.

Officer Wang paused briefly for a few seconds and replied: "The time to return to the hospital is probably around the early hours of the evening."

"That's right." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The time of death of Wang Baocheng and He Jun was between 10:30 and 11:30 last night."

"And this period of time happens to be the time when Zhang Wenkai leaves the hospital, and Senior Sister Lu and I have also found out Lily's situation."

"Have you already investigated clearly?" Seeing that Gu Chen's investigation was also going well, Officer Wang hurriedly asked: "What's going on with Lily?"

"She is a female nightclub publicist. She has been working at the Golden Coast Bar in Jiangnan City before. She is not Zhang Wenkai's girlfriend of seven years who worked in the Magic City."

"Haha, I've seen the problem a long time ago. This woman doesn't look like a serious office worker at all."

When Officer Wang received the investigation results from Gu Chen, he burst out laughing, proving his previous guess.

But now, with the clues from both parties combined, it seems that the biggest suspicion points to Zhang Wenkai.

First of all, Zhang Wenkai mysteriously left the hospital during the time when Wang Baocheng and He Jun died.

Since surveillance could not capture him, his whereabouts are unknown.

Secondly, Zhang Wenkai kept saying that he was hospitalized so that his girlfriend of 7 years could come visit him. After all, Zhang Wenkai was now under great pressure to get married, and there were conflicts between the two.

This is when I need my girlfriend’s comfort the most.

In addition, the two of them have not seen each other for a month and a half, so this kind of rhetoric sounds sympathetic.

But after Gu Chen investigated Lily, he discovered that she was just a fake girlfriend, and it felt like everyone had been deceived.

Fortunately, everyone was vigilant and eventually found out the truth.

But now the question is before us, why did Zhang Wenkai lie? Why did he lie that he was in the hospital just to wait for his girlfriend to come over?

Who are you acting for? The police?

Gu Chen sighed and reminded Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, I think this Zhang Wenkai is a serious suspect. Now the woman named Lily has also confessed the truth. You can go to the hospital to monitor Zhang Wenkai and wait for me to come over."

"In addition, let Senior Brother He find out as soon as possible the specific movements of Zhang Wenkai these days and see if we can find some clues through street surveillance."

"After all, he can evade open surveillance, but he may not be able to evade hidden cameras on the streets."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Wang responded directly: "Xiao Yuan and I are in the hospital now. You guys should come over quickly."

"In addition, I will notify He Junchao and ask him to check Zhang Wenkai's specific movements these days. That's it for now."

"OK."

After a brief exchange of greetings on the phone, the two hung up the phone.

Lu Weiwei was surprised and said: "This Zhang Wenkai is really cunning enough to trick us like this?"

"He may not have thought that we would find out Lily's true identity." Turning on his phone to scan the QR code, Gu Chen walked directly to the front desk and paid for the meal.

Then he and Lu Weiwei rushed to the hospital.

…

…

8:30 pm.

Outside the hospital ward, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also waited there for a long time without disturbing Zhang Wenkai in advance.

After waiting for Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to arrive, the four of them went in together.

At this time, Zhang Wenkai was listening to music on his mobile phone. Seeing Gu Chen and others arriving again, he seemed a little surprised, so he hurriedly asked:

"Comrade police, why are you back again?"

"Where is your girlfriend from Shanghai?" Gu Chen asked him.

Zhang Wenkai was stunned, and after a brief silence for two seconds, he said with a smile: "She lives in a hotel outside. After all, it's not easy to sleep in the ward."

"Are you talking about Xu Wenli, or your real girlfriend?" Gu Chen saw that Zhang Wenkai was still trying to defend himself.

Don’t be pretentious and just turn on the questioning mode.

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Wenkai's expression was stunned and he felt at a loss for a moment.

Maybe it's not clear how Gu Chen knew Lily's full name.

But after thinking about it for a few seconds, Zhang Wenkai seemed to realize that Gu Chen and others might have followed Xu Wenli.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenkai had a complicated expression and smiled bitterly, and continued to test Gu Chen: "Comrade police, what are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending." Gu Chen showed the transcript of Xu Wenli's confession in front of Zhang Wenkai and reminded: "Xu Wenli, who works in the nightclub, has already explained everything clearly. How long do you want to keep it secret from us?"

"I……"

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Wenkai was immediately shocked and didn't know how to explain it for a long time.

But after briefly calming down, Zhang Wenkai said again: "Okay, actually, you are right. This Xu Wenli is indeed not my real girlfriend."

"What about your real girlfriend?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Zhang Wenkai sighed: "Still in the Magic City."
