Gu Chen looked around and found that neither of the windows in the house was open.
The air in the entire room suddenly seemed to be uncirculated.
Without saying a word, Lu Weiwei walked directly to the window at the back, pulled out the iron bolt of the old window, and gently pushed the glass-wood window open.
Suddenly a breeze came, and the air outside flowed through the window, through the room, and through the door.
The whole room suddenly became a little cooler.
Gu Chen took the opportunity to open the front window.
For a moment, the air in the entire room became more circulated, and the odor dispersed with the wind.
"Uncle Zhao, your room needs to be ventilated." Lu Weiwei also reminded.
Uncle Zhao nodded silently and said with a smile: "Of course I know that the air must be circulated, but no one is renting a house now. I thought it was raining outside and it would be easy to enter the room, so I closed all the doors and windows."
"Understood." Gu Chen nodded silently and checked around the room.
Opening the closet, there were still some winter clothes on the hangers inside.
Although these clothes looked a little old in terms of style, Gu Chen could tell that the materials were very good and the price should not be low.
Then he pulled out the shoe cabinet under the wardrobe. Inside the shoe cabinet were several pairs of leather shoes wrapped in plastic bags.
Gu Chen simply squatted down, unwrapped the plastic bags one by one, and placed the leather shoes on the ground.
"These shoes seem to be this year's new model." After Lu Weiwei found out, she also said curiously: "These are this year's new model of sandals. When this brand just became popular, I wanted to buy it, but when I saw the price, I thought
give up."
"Is it expensive?" Gu Chen asked.
Lu Weiwei nodded fiercely: "Yes, the price is not very friendly, because although the decoration on these shoes is beautiful, it is too expensive, so I didn't buy it."
"Is it the same brand? Is it just the same style?" Gu Chen didn't know much about these women's shoes, so he asked Lu Weiwei for advice.
Lu Weiwei picked up one of the right shoes and inspected it carefully. After looking at the gold stamping logo inside and the small label on the side of the shoelace, she nodded and confirmed:
"It's this brand. I took pictures at the time to see if it was cheaper online, but I found that the price was about the same, not much cheaper. I even asked Xiao Yuan."
"Xiao Yuan said that this brand is a foundry of a major international brand and is a brand produced by himself, so the price is naturally very expensive."
"That's strange." Gu Chen picked up his left shoe and looked around: "Since this shoe is expensive, but there are no quality problems, why don't you take it with you?"
Gu Chen raised the shoes in his hand and asked, "Senior Sister Lu, how much do these shoes cost?"
"More than 1,000, right?"
"More than 1,000?" Gu Chen stared blankly and asked Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, how much rent do you charge her for this house per month?"
"350, not including water, electricity and Internet fees." Uncle Zhao said.
Gu Chen frowned and asked again: "How long has she been renting from you?"
"Well, if you calculate it, it's about a year and a half. By the way, her lease term is still half a month away, and the rent is still paid for one month."
"Then you didn't give it to her?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Uncle Zhao shook his head: "She sent me a text message to tell me that he was leaving, and she didn't ask me, so I didn't give it to her. I can't beg to give it to her, right?"
"Besides, the house has suffered some damage in the past year and a half, and it will cost money to repair it."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen probably got the clue from Uncle Zhao.
Tenant Xu Xintong did not return the key to Uncle Zhao in person, and he still has one month's deposit and half a month's rent here.
For Xu Xintong, who only rents a house in a cheap area for NT$350 a month, he generously buys brand-name sandals for NT$1,000.
When he moved out, he abandoned it so generously? This was hard for Gu Chen to understand.
Also incomprehensible was Lu Weiwei.
I have been reluctant to buy that pair of sandals worth 1,000 yuan, but Xu Xintong doesn't care.
From Lu Weiwei's point of view, Xu Xintong's departure was indeed a bit strange.
After trying to calm down, Lu Weiwei asked Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, when Xu Xintong left, did she tell you where she was going? Why did she move suddenly?"
"this……"
When asked by Lu Weiwei, Uncle Zhao hesitated.
Gao Mingyang walked up to Uncle Zhao and asked, "She should be able to tell you something, right?"
"Didn't I tell you last time? She just texted me to tell me that she was moving away. I also showed you the text message. It was just a few sentences."
Uncle Zhao found a wooden chair and sat down casually, and couldn't help but said: "This tenant wants to leave, just say hello."
"As long as the damage to the house does not exceed the amount of the deposit, I don't care where you go."
"So, when Xu Xintong left, I just left you this message, right?" Gu Chen asked again to confirm.
Uncle Zhao nodded silently: "Yes, that's it. Apart from this text message, I have never contacted her again."
"What about the phone? Can the phone still be connected?" Lu Weiwei came over and asked.
Uncle Zhao and Gao Mingyang shook their heads together: "No."
Gao Mingyang was the first to say: "I have called Xu Xintong many times. I saw Uncle Zhao coming to collect the house that day, so I called her, but later I found that the phone could not be reached."
"Could it be that...that text message was not sent by Xu Xintong to Uncle Zhao?" Lu Weiwei seemed to notice something unusual.
Before, everyone didn't have much impression. They always felt that this was just the tenant quitting the lease and moving out, but now the more I hear about it, the more confused I become.
Everything in the house feels too weird.
The first thing is the items in the house. In addition to carrying some necessary items and clothes, most of Xu Xintong's items are actually still left in the room.
If you spend a lot of money to buy this pair of luxury sandals, why do you keep these expensive sandals when you leave?
Moreover, the uppers are clean and tidy, and the heels have little wear and tear.
Just such a pair of high-quality sandals is abandoned in the shoe cabinet. It is difficult for normal people to operate them like this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And even if you want to quit the lease, you still have to meet with the landlord, and it is best to get the deposit back.
What's more, Xu Xintong still has half a month of lease left.
I heard Gao Mingyang talk about this matter before. Although I was confused, I didn't feel it personally.
Until now, everything in the room made Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei think about it with horror.
"No, there must be something wrong here. That text message may not have been sent by Xu Xintong herself." Gu Chen also agreed with Lu Weiwei's statement.
After all, the objects on site speak for themselves.
At this moment, the landlord, Uncle Zhao, was also panicking.
Originally, I just took back the tenant's house, but now based on the attitude of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, it seems that the female tenant has a big problem.
Everyone’s explanation just now seems to have allowed the landlord, Uncle Zhao, to see clearly the root of the problem.
"Gu Chen, don't scare me." Uncle Zhao's face was heavy and nervous.
Gu Chen came over and comforted her: "Uncle Zhao, have you seen Xu Xintong before she checked out?"
"No, after I rented her a house, I rarely came over, and I haven't seen her recently."
"What about you?" Gu Chen turned to look at Gao Mingyang.
Gao Mingyang's face was heavy and thoughtful: "I see Xu Xintong every day, but I just say hello because everyone has to go to work."
"Xu Xintong works the day shift, and I work the night shift, so I usually sleep at home during the day and only go out to sing at night."
"If the time is right, I will meet Xu Xintong returning home before setting off in the evening."
"And sometimes when we don't have to sing, we will eat and chat together."
"In other words, everything was normal before Xu Xintong left, and you didn't find anything suspicious about Xu Xintong?" Gu Chen asked again.
Gao Mingyang nodded silently: "Yes, there is no problem."
"Okay." Gu Chen crossed his arms to express his understanding: "Then the next question is, what is Xu Xintong's job?"
"Assistant." Gao Mingyang said: "She is the deputy general assistant of a media company."
"Do you know where the company is?" Gu Chen asked again.
Gao Mingyang thought briefly for a few seconds, trying to recall.
After a while, Gao Mingyang raised his head and replied: "I remember it was called Star Star Media. It's right over at Star Star Plaza. It mainly handles work and publicity in the entertainment industry."
"Xingyao Media, Xingyao Plaza." Gu Chen took out the note paper he carried with him and jotted down the name casually.
Looking up at Gao Mingyang, Gu Chen asked again: "Does Xu Xintong have any particularly close friends? The ones you have met?"
"No... I don't know." Gao Mingyang shook his head and told the truth: "I heard that she has a fellow worker working here, but they don't seem to interact frequently. I don't know who they are."
"This is a bit troublesome." When Lu Weiwei heard this reply, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
The investigation needs enough clues, but the landlord and neighbors involved are ignorant of these circumstances.
If Xu Xintong left in a hurry, then who was sending text messages to the landlord is particularly important.
Thinking that she didn't have enough resources at the moment, Lu Weiwei suggested: "Junior Brother Gu, why don't you let He Junchao investigate and see what's going on with Xu Xintong?"
"If you suspect that there may be a real disappearance, you can investigate it." Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds and replied directly: "Then please explain to Senior Brother He, Senior Sister Lu."
"Okay, leave this to me, I'll ask He Junchao to check it now."
Glancing at the landlord, Uncle Zhao, Lu Weiwei asked again: "Uncle Zhao, has Xu Xintong signed a rental contract with you?"
"Signed." Uncle Zhao nodded silently.
"Do you still remember Xu Xintong's ID number?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Identity... ID number? Wait for this." Uncle Zhao seemed to have some impression, and he quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for it in the photo album of his mobile phone.
After a while, Uncle Zhao showed a photo of the rental contract to Lu Weiwei: "This is the rental contract. It has Xu Xintong's ID number on it."
"That's great." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly edited the text message and sent it to He Junchao.
Afterwards, a group of people sat at the door and waited quietly.
Gu Chen looked at the other houses and asked curiously: "Are there tenants in the other three houses?"
"Well, two of them are occupied, and one is empty. This one is occupied by a couple who set up a barbecue at the night market. They go out every afternoon and go home late at night."
"What about another room?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"There is also a decoration worker who comes from out of town. Anyway, he often stays at the construction site, and his food and accommodation are also at the construction site."
"Since the job at the construction site is not stable, he will live here when he is not working."
"That means that the decoration worker has lived here for an uncertain period of time, right?" Gu Chen said.
Before Uncle Zhao spoke, Gao Mingyang on the side replied directly: "That's right, he rarely lives here unless the construction site is shut down."
"Just a few days before Xu Xintong moved out, he stayed at the construction site and did not come back."
"Later I heard that Xu Xintong had moved away, and everyone was very sad. After all, we have lived here for some time and everyone is very familiar with each other."
"Okay." Gu Chen understood the friendship of renting in the same yard.
Xu Xintong's farewell without saying goodbye is indeed a bit chilling.
After a while, He Junchao's call came to Gu Chen's mobile phone.
Gu Chen didn't think much, just opened the answer button and asked: "Brother He, have you found it over there?"
"Gu Chen, I checked here and found that there is no record of Xu Xintong using his ID card in Jiangnan City, and there is no record of purchasing tickets."
"There is no ticket purchase record?" Gu Chen was stunned, turned to look at Gao Mingyang and Uncle Zhao, and asked casually:
"Does Xu Xintong have any friends with cars?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No."
"never seen it."
They both shook their heads.
Gu Chen frowned and asked He Junchao on the phone: "Senior Brother He, can you investigate the surveillance records here in Osmanthus Alley according to the time point we gave you?"
"Wait a moment, I'll look for you."
Gu Chen only heard the crackling of the keyboard on the other end of the phone. Not long after, He Junchao replied again: "Unfortunately, there are basically no cameras in Guihua Lane where you are."
"Because roads are being built outside, many lines are under maintenance, and there are old alleys around. Usually there are very few residents living here, and most of them are old houses. The only exit is Guihua Lane, which is across the road.
There is a surveillance device facing it."
"But unfortunately, as you know, many monitoring equipment were temporarily dismantled during road construction."
"It's about building roads again." When Gu Chen heard this explanation, he felt quite resentful.
Many roads in Jiangnan City are not repaired or are not repaired at ordinary times, but when the school season comes, the roads start to be busy again.
Not only causing various traffic jams, many surrounding lines were also affected.
In particular, many monitoring equipment were dismantled due to road construction.
Even at intersections, solar traffic lights can only be installed to guide traffic.
Gu Chen said helplessly: "Are there no other surveillance cameras around that we can access?"
"I'm sorry, the surveillance cameras for several kilometers around Osmanthus Alley are not in use due to road construction."
"In the direction where the road is not under construction, surveillance can be used, but Osmanthus Alley cannot be monitored."
"Okay, can you help me check again? The day before Xu Xintong disappeared, the exit of Xingyao Company where she worked should have been monitored by her."
"I'll try." He Junchao was also helpless, but he could only follow Gu Chen's instructions and continue to operate.
After a while, He Junchao reported: "Gu Chen, I took a look at Xingyao Company, and there is indeed this Xu Xintong."
"She took the shuttle bus home as usual that night, and the last position she could capture was when the shuttle bus entered the maintenance section. I couldn't track it after that."
Hearing this, Gu Chen continued to ask: "Take a look again, does she carry a lot of items? For example, a cardboard box or something?"
"If she is leaving her previous residence, it may be to change jobs."
"No." He Junchao on the other end of the phone still gave a negative answer.
Gu Chen let out a long sigh of relief. This situation was different from what he had imagined.
So Gu Chen asked casually: "When you left the gate of Xingyao Company, didn't you bring anything with you?"
"No, I have nothing, so I just carry a bag."
"What happened after that? Did Xu Xintong go to the company the next day?" Gu Chen asked.
He Junchao's keyboard continued to crackle, and he replied after a moment: "Gu Chen, I have already checked. Since the day Xu Xintong left the company, I have not discovered Xu Xintong's whereabouts entering the company gate during working hours. She
He disappeared from that day on."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother He."
"You're welcome."
…
After chatting briefly with He Junchao, Gu Chen hung up the phone directly.
Seeing this, Gao Mingyang immediately stepped forward and asked, "Gu Chen, how are you?"
"The situation is not good." Gu Chen pinched his eyebrows with his right hand and said helplessly: "The scope of our monitoring is really limited."
"There is road construction near Osmanthus Alley, so the nearby surveillance cameras cannot be used normally. However, at the end of Xingyao Media Company, they could only capture the scene of Xu Xintong leaving the company before the night she disappeared."
"After entering the vicinity of Osmanthus Alley, the vehicle was unable to capture Xu Xintong."
"There should be surveillance on the bus, so we can find out which station Xu Xintong got off at." Gao Mingyang said nervously and weakly.
Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "You are right, but you need to go to the bus company to get monitoring."
"In addition, Xu Xintong will most likely get off at Osmanthus Alley."
"That's right." Gao Mingyang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, somewhat at a loss, "What should I do? Go to her company? Ask about the specific situation?"
"I think so too."
Gu Chen frowned, glanced at Uncle Zhao, and said a little apologetically: "Uncle Zhao, I really need you to come over and open the door."
"It's not troublesome. It's normal to find someone. However, Xu Xintong disappeared mysteriously. When checking out, he only sent text messages and left without even meeting me. I felt a little strange."
"If you can find her, maybe I can sleep more peacefully. After all, there are indeed many weird things about Xu Xintong's departure, which I have felt before."
After a pause, Uncle Zhao added: "It's just that, I feel sorry for the deposit and the remaining half-month of the lease, so I thought she wouldn't ask, I wouldn't say anything, and I wouldn't contact them."
"But now that I hear what you are saying, I feel like this girl has encountered some accidents?"
