The building was dark and dirty inside. All kinds of garbage could be seen everywhere on the corridors, mostly cigarette butts.
It was also accompanied by a very unpleasant smell, and I couldn't tell what it was.
I walked to the third floor carefully, because the doors on the lower two floors were closed, and only the third floor was open.
On the third floor, I finally saw a billboard that said ‘Qi Ge Teahouse’. It turned out to be a teahouse.
I put my head in and took a look, only to see a thin woman sitting at the front desk, who was still doing her own manicure.
I took a deep breath and then walked in. The woman sitting at the front desk raised her head and looked at me after hearing the footsteps, her eyes full of doubts.
I walked to the front desk and asked her with a smile: "Hello, can I have tea now?"
"Are you here for tea?" the woman looked at me strangely and asked.
"Isn't this a teahouse here? If you're not here to drink tea, what else are you here for?"
The woman still looked at me very strangely, then stood up and said to me: "Wait a moment."
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the inner room, not knowing what she was going to do.
I stood there and waited for a while. In fact, I was quite panicked because I didn't know what kind of place this was.
And it's quite quiet here, the kind of quiet where no sound can be heard. It's precisely this kind of quiet that makes people feel suffocating.
After waiting for about half a minute, the woman finally walked out, followed by a man about thirty years old.
I took a look at the man behind me. He looked like a normal person and was dressed normally.
He came to me, looked me over, and asked, "Are you alone?"
"I'm alone, buddy, can you have tea here?" I asked tentatively.
He glanced behind me, as if to confirm if anyone was following, and then said to me: "How did you find us here?"
"I saw a sign outside saying it was a tea house, so I came here."
He frowned and added, "We don't have a sign downstairs!"
Then I remembered that there were no billboards downstairs, and my heart suddenly sank. Then I hurriedly changed my words and said, "Brother, let me get straight to the point! Actually, I'm here to inquire about something."
His brows furrowed even more tightly, and then he asked me again: "What are you asking about?"
"Yesterday, there was a fall in the nightclub next door. I just saw that you have a surveillance camera upstairs. I just wanted to ask if anything was filmed?"
"Is this what it is?"
I nodded, but he waved to me and said, "Go back, we don't know about this, so hurry up and leave."
"Can I take a look at the surveillance camera? Don't worry, this matter won't involve you."
"I told you to leave quickly, don't you understand?" He suddenly shouted at me.
If I don't understand this, I'm asking for trouble.
I had no choice but to nod my head, clasped my hands and said, "Sorry to bother you, brother, I'm leaving now."
As soon as I walked to the door, he suddenly shouted to me: "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong? Brother." I stopped and looked back at him with some guilt.
He walked towards me again, and then asked me with a suspicious look on his face: "Who are you?"
"I don't mean anything. I just came to inquire about the fall in the nightclub next door yesterday. I am the brother of the girl who fell."
He thought thoughtfully for a while, then waved to me and said, "Come on, let's go, it's okay."
I nodded and left the building.
When I got back to the car, I took a deep breath. Although I didn't find out anything, I felt that the place called Qi Ge Teahouse was definitely not a good place.
Since the sign says it's a tea house, why can't there be any smell of tea inside, and there's no one there.
The most important thing is that there is no signboard downstairs, which shouldn't be the case.
What makes me even more curious is why Huang Li escaped from here yesterday and what did that group of people do?
Of course, I don't care what they do now, I'm here to find out the truth about Cheng Lu's fall from the building.
But right now, the surveillance cameras are not allowed to be seen. Is it possible that we really have to go to the nightclub to look for clues?
Okay, I plan to come again in the evening.
Just after I drove out of Hongfan District, I received another call from the police station.
It was still the call from the policeman who contacted me before. He said to me: "Mr. Chen, didn't you reach a settlement agreement with the injured person? We just received a lawsuit from the other party's lawyer, saying that he would not accept any mediation.
Already."
I already knew the result, but I still sighed heavily and said: "He has no intention of reconciliation at all, unless he wants me to give 100 million."
"Isn't this injured person related to you? Doesn't his asking for 100 million show that he doesn't want to reconcile?"
How could I not know something that even the police knew.
I sighed again: "He and my sister Cheng Lu are not married yet, and when something like this happened, he just doesn't want to forgive Cheng Xiaohu."
After saying that, I hurriedly asked: "Comrade police officer, let me understand. If the other party does not accept mediation, how long will it take for you to transfer it to the court?"
"According to the process, within ten days, but it still depends on what the other party thinks. If they have to open a court hearing soon, it will only take a few days."
"okay, I get it."
"Well, you should go and talk to him again. I think it's best to reconcile this matter. After all, the other party's injuries are not particularly serious."
"Well, that's it. Thank you, comrade police."
"You're welcome."
After the call ended, I went to the hospital again, but of course not to see Yang Wei.
I don't want to see this bastard now. Since he doesn't want to accept mediation, let him go.
I went to see Cheng Lu again, but she still didn't wake up, but I couldn't stay here forever, so I had to find a professional escort in the hospital.
I went back to the company in the afternoon. After all, there were too many things going on in the company, and there was a huge backlog of work in the past two days.
I went back to the office to deal with my daily work first, and then Gao Sheng suddenly came to my office.
He came over and handed me a cigarette, and then asked me: "I heard that my sister-in-law told me about Cheng Xiaohu, what happened?"
I lit up the cigarette, took a puff and said to him: "Anyway, it's quite tricky because Cheng Lu accidentally fell down from the building yesterday and she hasn't woken up yet."
I told all the causes and consequences of this incident. After hearing this, Gao Sheng also had a puzzled expression on his face and said: "This is too bad! One of the two brothers and sisters is unknown, and the other is facing prison?"
"Yes! So now I feel like I have found the truth about Cheng Lu falling from the building."
"did you find it?"
"No, I plan to go to the place where Cheng Lu fell from the building at night to take a look."
Gao Sheng nodded and said: "I'll go with you, as many people as possible and many helpers."
I actually didn't want to implicate Gao Sheng, but I knew he couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to agree.
Gao Sheng then said to me: "By the way, there is something I want to tell you."
