As if he noticed the police's strange expression, Lu Yuan frowned and continued to ask: "Officer Gu, what's wrong? Isn't it convenient for you to tell me?"

"No." Gu Chen shook his head and said truthfully: "The person who had dinner with Wan Xiaomin yesterday was Wan Xiaomin's high school classmate, named A Ming."

"Ah...A Ming? Hu Ming?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly froze, and his whole face suddenly became ugly.

Lu Weiwei also noticed something unusual and hurriedly asked Lu Yuan: "What's wrong, Lu Yuan? Do you know this person named A Ming?"

"I know you, of course I know you." Lu Yuan looked solemn at this moment and couldn't help but said:

"A Ming's full name is Hu Ming. He is from Magic City. His parents moved here together in order to support the construction of enterprises in Jiangnan City. My family lives very close to his family."

"Besides, we both go to the same school, and I am one year older than him."

"Are you alumni? Hearing this, Officer Wang was also very curious and asked Lu Yuan: "Then you, Hu Ming, and Wan Xiaomin must have been very familiar with each other at that time, right?"

"Yes." Lu Yuan did not deny it, and said truthfully: "At that time, the relationship between us was very strong."

"There was also a man named Azhe. At that time, we were three boys and one girl. We often traveled, climbed mountains together on weekends, and rode bicycles to school together."

"In short, the friendship between the four of us has always been very good."

After a pause, Lu Yuan suddenly hesitated again, and couldn't help but said: "It's just that I didn't expect that Hu Ming didn't contact me when he returned to Jiangnan City?"

"Maybe he doesn't even know you're married," Yuan Shasha said.

Lu Yuan suddenly raised his head: "Yes...is it?"

Yuan Shasha nodded slightly: "Yes, I remember that when Hu Ming and Wan Xiaomin had dinner together yesterday, he didn't even know about Wan Xiaomin's marriage. It shows that Hu Ming doesn't understand the lives of you people."

"Moreover, not only Hu Ming doesn't know that Wan Xiaomin is married, but even the Azhe you mentioned doesn't seem to know that Wan Xiaomin is married."

"This dinner seems to have been arranged by this person named Azhe, but he had something to do and didn't go."

"Is that so?" After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Lu Yuan seemed a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly asked: "What's going on with this Hu Ming? Forgive me for being offended, but this Hu Ming seems to be your lover Wan Xiaomin's first love, right?"

"ah?"

When Gu Chen said this, Lu Yuan suddenly frowned and was a little surprised.

But after a moment, he came to his senses, nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, he did fall in love with my lover back then, and he was indeed Wan Xiaomin's first love."

"The four of us had a very good relationship back then, so Azhe and I were both envious."

"What happened later?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Later? Later, Hu Ming's family wanted to move their registered residence back to Magic City. That was a matter of his first year in high school. Therefore, when he was in his first year of high school, he had to separate from us and go to Magic City to attend high school."

"In the beginning, he would occasionally call us to chat, but as time went on, we had less and less contact."

"Especially after the college entrance examination, everyone went to different universities and were located in different cities, so communication became less and less."

"Then Wan Xiaomin separated from him at that time?" Lu Weiwei couldn't bear to gossip and asked.

But Lu Yuan didn't seem angry, he nodded silently and proactively admitted:

"Yes, they broke up after Hu Ming moved his registered residence back to Magic City, and they rarely interacted with each other after that."

"Wan Xiaomin and I both stayed in Jiangnan City to study at university, so gradually, the two of us got together. We got married the year before last and now have a one-year-old baby."

"So that's it?" After clarifying the relationship between these people, Gu Chen felt that there seemed to be no taboos among everyone.

After all, these four people seemed to be die-hard brothers before. It was only because Hu Ming's family moved back to Shanghai and they were admitted to different universities that they rarely contacted each other.

Just when Gu Chen thought of this, Lu Yuan suddenly said in shock: "Could it be that... Xiao Min and Hu Ming were together last night?"

Glancing at Gu Chen, Lu Yuan's expression turned ugly.

"Maybe not?" Gu Chen couldn't say for sure. After all, Hu Ming and Wan Xiaomin were once lovers.

We haven't seen each other for many years, but suddenly we meet again. It is inevitable that there will be a lot to say.

Maybe after leaving the restaurant yesterday, the two of them went for a walk outside, but as to whether they spent the night together? Gu Chen didn't know them well, so it was difficult to make too many comments.

But facing the anxious Lu Yuan, Gu Chen also gave a comforting denial.

Officer Wang frowned and asked Lu Yuan: "I mean, Lu Yuan, you have been a good brother and classmate for so many years, don't you know what Hu Ming is like?"

Lu Yuan shook his head: "We haven't seen each other for many years. I knew Hu Ming back then, but I really don't understand Hu Ming now."

"After all, why did he suddenly return to Jiangnan City after being in the Magic City for so many years? To be honest, I don't understand."

"If Xiao Min is missing, then Hu Ming must be related to him."

"Why was Xiao Min's life normal before Hu Ming came to Jiangnan City, but when Hu Ming came, my Xiao Min disappeared?"

"It seems to make sense." Officer Wang held his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well, your lover Wan Xiaomin, after we go back, we will investigate and see where she went?"

"Don't worry yet. It's best if you just go to get your phone repaired. Anyway, as long as the person is fine, she will naturally take the initiative to contact you."

"I know." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Yuan also nodded silently, but said nervously:

"But Xiao Min never disappears quietly like this. Something must have happened to her, definitely."

"Okay." Faced with Lu Yuan's impatience, Officer Wang pressed his hands and said comfortingly: "We will help you solve your matter. We will notify you as soon as there is news."

After looking at Gu Chen, Officer Wang said again: "Gu Chen, just ask He Junchao to check the surveillance camera."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, took out his cell phone and started to contact He Junchao.

Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, on the other hand, tried to appease Lu Yuan's mood.

After some communication, everyone got into the police car and left Sanyuan Alley.

Parking the police car on a spacious road, Gu Chen and others also began to wait for the results of He Junchao's investigation, ready to set off at any time to find Wan Xiaomin and Hu Ming.

…

…

10:20 am.

Gu Chen's cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the caller was He Junchao, Gu Chen didn't say anything and directly opened the answer button: "Brother He, how is the situation?"

"Gu Chen, I took a look at the Wan Xiaomin you asked me to find. Indeed, after she left the restaurant last night, she went shopping with Hu Ming."

"Then what?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Then? Then they wandered to the family area near Xicheng Chemical Plant. That area has long been in ruins. Of course, there are also some old family buildings there, and there are still people living there."

"Xicheng Chemical Plant...family area?" After hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly recalled the situation that Lu Yuan had explained to him before.

Several of them were descendants of the Xicheng Chemical Plant, and they all lived in that area back then.

Thinking that Wan Xiaomin and Hu Ming were classmates in the past, maybe they just wanted to hang out in the place where they lived together after eating.

So Gu Chen asked again: "What happened next? Did the two of them go out together?"

"Later? Later, I only found that Hu Ming walked out of that area alone, got into a taxi, and then went to a hotel. After that, Hu Ming never came out again. He was probably still in that hotel."

"In other words, Hu Ming and Wan Xiaomin went to the family area of ​​​​Xicheng Chemical Plant together, and then Hu Ming came out alone and returned to the hotel, but you did not find any trace of Wan Xiaomin?" Gu Chen confirmed again

asked again.

He Junchao replied affirmatively: "Of course, I have been monitoring the surveillance until now, and I haven't found any trace of Wan Xiaomin coming out."

"Because that area is also within the scope of demolition, many road facilities have been demolished, and there is no internal monitoring. There is only road monitoring, and I can only monitor the peripheral areas."

"I understand." After hearing He Junchao's report, Gu Chen also began to hesitate.

You know, so far, Wan Xiaomin only had contact with Hu Ming before she disappeared.

After those two people entered the family area of ​​Xicheng Chemical Plant, why did Hu Ming come out alone?

Or is Wan Xiaomin still staying in the family area of ​​Xicheng Chemical Plant?

Gu Chen hung up the phone and drove towards Wangjiang Hotel based on the coordinates sent by He Junchao.

…

…

10:40 am.

When Gu Chen brought Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to Wangjiang Hotel, Gu Chen immediately walked to the front desk and asked a front desk lady:

"Excuse me, is there a person named Hu Ming living here?"

"Hu Ming?" The lady at the front desk seemed unclear.

Lu Weiwei quickly added: "Check your computer. This person is from Shanghai. He should still be staying in your hotel."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Faced with the police's inquiry, the front desk lady did not hesitate and directly started to open the computer to check the check-in list.

After a while, the front desk lady nodded and said, "Yes, there is a man named Hu Ming who lives in room 6602 of our hotel."

"Take us to find him." Officer Wang said.

Seeing the police's attitude, the front desk lady seemed to understand that the guest named Hu Ming seemed to have committed something serious, so she did not dare to neglect it. She immediately picked up the intercom on the table and said: "Is Aunt Wu here? Aunt Wu."

As the intercom buzzed with electricity, it didn't take long for a middle-aged woman to respond: "Here, what's going on?"

"A few police officers are going to find someone in room 6602. You go to the sixth floor to wait for them and take them there," the woman at the front desk said.
