Zhou Kui's words quickly aroused Gu Chen's vigilance.
After all, this was completely inconsistent with what I had imagined before, especially the whereabouts of Zhou Xiaotong. Obviously, judging from this invitation letter, it was more like a trap.
However, a few short words can make Zhou Xiaotong leave Haidong City and rush to Jiangnan City.
If Zhou Xiaotong was not a particularly familiar figure, he probably would not have made such a decision.
Gu Chen had previously communicated with Zhou Xiaotong about her departure from Haidong City on the high-speed train.
At that time, Gu Chen thought that Zhou Xiaotong left Haidong City perhaps because of emotional frustration.
After all, Gu Chen and his colleagues all saw the specific situation in the restaurant that day.
After being wronged like this, if you don't want your boyfriend Ahao's family to get their money back, the best way is to disappear in Haidong City.
Obviously, at that time, Gu Chen thought that this was the purpose of Zhou Xiaotong's departure, but now it seems that there are other problems.
"Comrade Police." He also saw Gu Chen froze on the spot, thinking quietly, completely ignoring the presence of everyone present.
Zhou Kui was a little confused and asked one more question.
"Ah?" Gu Chen came back from his trance.
"Then what? Can you find my daughter Zhou Xiaotong?" Zhou Kui asked expectantly.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured that if your daughter Zhou Xiaotong goes missing in Jiangnan City, we will definitely do our best to help you find her."
"But, how long will it take?" Zhou Kui was also anxious now, so he asked one more question.
Lu Weiwei on the side quickly replied: "Mr. Zhou, this depends on the progress of our investigation? After all, we have just received a notification from the police in Haidong City."
"We haven't prepared many clues yet, but please don't worry, we will definitely help you find Zhou Xiaotong."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, please rest assured." Seeing Zhou Kui's solemn expression, Yuan Shasha said comfortingly.
Zhou Kui sighed and said helplessly: "That's fine, as long as I can find my daughter Xiaotong, I won't hesitate even if it takes my life."
"Xiaotong has suffered so much for me. As a father, I really feel ashamed of her. I am useless and incompetent, but I only hope that she can be well."
At the end of his speech, Zhou Kui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he had too many things on his mind that he wanted to tell his daughter.
Since Gu Chen knew Zhou Kui's previous misdeeds, he also asked one more question: "By the way, Mr. Zhou, after your daughter Zhou Xiaotong helped you pay off these loans, are you still gambling now?"
"No, no, I don't gamble anymore. Gambling is harmful to people." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhou Kui also knew very well that Gu Chen basically understood his situation.
Therefore, when Gu Chen asked about this matter, Zhou Kui's reaction was obviously excessive.
Officer Wang nodded slightly: "It's good if you don't gamble. You said that such a good family could live a stable life, but once it gets involved in gambling, the family will be ruined."
"Yes, that's what the police comrade said." Also listening to Officer Wang's teachings, Zhou Kui nodded in agreement:
"When he was young, he divorced his wife because he loved gambling, and Xiaotong became a child of a single-parent family."
"Although I have looked for some serious jobs over the years, I just couldn't quit gambling. In the end, I was heavily in debt."
"Not only did Xiaotong have to hold her head high in front of her neighbors, but she was often discriminated against by her peers, which caused a great psychological shadow on her."
"I know, in fact, all this is my fault, and I am not worthy to be her father."
After sniffing, Zhou Kui choked up and then said again:
"It is because of me that Xiaotong has become extra strong. She often takes advantage of her studies to work part-time, just to support her family."
"Your daughter is quite independent." After listening to Zhou Kui's complaint, Gu Chen agreed.
Because from Zhou Xiaotong's eyes, Gu Chen could see her sense of powerlessness towards life.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Chen said again: "That's not it. Leave your contact information and go back first."
"We will launch a search immediately. Once we find your daughter Zhou Xiaotong, we will contact you immediately. What do you think?"
"But...but what if I can't find it?"
"We will find it." Before Zhou Kui could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei also promised:
"Besides, you can't help me if you stay here. I know you're anxious now, but there's nothing you can do if you're anxious. Finding someone for the job has to be done step by step."
"I understand." Seeing what Lu Weiwei said, Zhou Kui sighed, then stood up slowly, shook hands with Gu Chen and others and said goodbye:
"Then I'd like to trouble some police comrades. I have left my contact information with this officer, Xiao Yuan. Please also give me your contact information."
"Take it." Yuan Shasha handed the phone number card of the criminal investigation team office to Zhou Kui and explained:
"This is the phone number of our criminal investigation team office. If you want to find us, you can call this number and just ask for Officer Xiao Yuan."
"Okay." Zhou Kui took the business card with both hands, looked up at everyone, sighed, and walked out of the room.
This time, he didn't say anything to Gu Chen and the others. It seemed that there was a stone weighing on his heart.
When Gu Chen saw this, he also ordered Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, go and see him off."
"Okay." After receiving Gu Chen's instructions, Yuan Shasha didn't waste any time and handed the record book directly to Gu Chen. Then she chased Zhou Kui and gradually disappeared around the corner of the hall.
Gu Chen looked at the record book in his hand and said, "Let's go to the criminal investigation team office."
…
…
In the criminal investigation team office, Gu Chen wrote the time on the tactical whiteboard in the office based on the time when he returned to Jiangnan City from his business trip, and then looked at He Junchao:
"Brother He, this time is our last meeting place with the missing person Zhou Xiaotong at Jiangnan City High-speed Railway North Station. Can you follow up and see where Zhou Xiaotong went next?"
"No problem." According to Gu Chen's explanation, He Junchao immediately began to call the system monitoring and conduct a search for Zhou Xiaotong's movement track.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang stood around the whiteboard and waited quietly.
It didn’t take long for He Junchao to tell the details of the investigation:
"Leaving Jiangnan North High-Speed Railway Station, this woman named Zhou Xiaotong got into a taxi with the license plate number ending in 223."
"After that, the taxi took her to a hotel in the west of the city called Xinxin Hotel."
"Is that Xin the one with three 'golds'?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." He Junchao confirmed.
Later, Gu Chen wrote this clue on the whiteboard and marked the order of the timeline.
"What happened next?" Officer Wang asked again.
"Later, that night, this woman named Zhou Xiaotong once left the Xinxin Hotel and entered a nearby small business district. She might have gone to eat. I guess so. After all, it happened to be dinner time.
."
"Did she go back to the hotel after dinner?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Well, wait." He Junchao did not give the results immediately, but continued to search on the computer.
Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of the whiteboard and said slowly: "This Zhou Xiaotong told us that he wants to come to Jiangnan City to find a job and try his luck."
"If that's the case, then she should have made arrangements a long time ago, but why did she take a taxi to the west of the city?"
"And this location is close to the suburbs and far from the high-speed rail station."
"If Zhou Xiaotong wants to come to Jiangnan City to find a job, then she should live in the east of the city. There are many companies there and are suitable for finding a job."
"The locals in Jiangnan City should know it very well, but even if the outsiders don't know it, the necessary strategies should be done. Living in the west of the city is somewhat unjustifiable."
"Yeah." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei on the side also echoed: "I was also thinking about it just now."
"If you want to find a job, then Zhou Xiaotong doesn't have to go to the west side of the city. He can just live near the old train station. The hotels there are quite cheap."
"Moreover, the old train station is located in the center of the city, and the transportation is very convenient. It is easy to go anywhere."
"Generally, for those who come to Jiangnan City to look for work, it is more reasonable to live here. In addition, there are many companies in the east of the city and there is a corresponding talent market."
"It would be good to live in the east side of the city to find a job, but Zhou Xiaotong still has no choice."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei looked around and expressed her opinion:
"This Zhou Xiaotong doesn't look like she's just looking for a job. She must have her own goals."
"In other words, she came here for the invitation, and the person who invited her may live near the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city."
"Well, this is the most likely possibility at present." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang also agreed.
Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and looked at He Junchao: "Brother He, how is the situation over there?"
"Zhou Xiaotong returned to Xinxin Hotel around 10 o'clock that night," He Junchao said.
"10 o'clock in the evening? So late?" Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the result.
If a woman comes from a different place, or has never been to Jiangnan City, she gets off the bus and takes a taxi to a small hotel in the west of the city.
Then I went out at dinner time and returned around 10 o'clock. The time I spent outside seemed a bit long.
Therefore, Gu Chen became suspicious: "She stayed out for so long, was she shopping or something like that?"
"This... I don't know. The surveillance over there can't catch it. Many of them are surveillance blind spots."
He Junchao also had a helpless expression.
Officer Wang hurriedly said: "Huh? You guys think, if this Zhou Xiaotong goes out for dinner, will she meet someone? For example, the person who sent the invitation letter?"
"It's possible." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen agreed:
"If Zhou Xiaotong really came here for the invitation, then she would definitely meet the inviter."
"But who is the inviter? Why is there no signature and specific time in the invitation letter to Zhou Xiaotong? Even the content is pitiful."
"It can be seen that there are some secrets between this mysterious man and Zhou Xiaotong."
"And these secrets, it seems that the two of them don't want others to see them."
"I agree with Junior Brother Gu." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also expressed her opinion:
"It seems that this Zhou Xiaotong may have actually met that person during dinner time."
Looking back at He Junchao, Lu Weiwei asked again: "He Junchao, how was Zhou Xiaotong's situation after he returned to the hotel?"
"I went out at two o'clock in the morning, and then, it seems I never came back." He Junchao also replied coldly.
"What? Going out at two in the morning?"
Also listening to He Junchao's words, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang suddenly spoke in unison.
But He Junchao remained calm. After confirming again and again, he nodded in agreement:
"Yes, this Zhou Xiaotong left the Xinxin Hotel after two o'clock in the morning."
"This time, she walked directly to the back of Xinxin Hotel. You know, Xinxin Hotel itself is a small hotel next to the highway, and its location is quite remote."
"Behind the hotel is a forest, but this Zhou Xiaotong went around to the back. I guess he was heading towards the forest."
"Computer." After hearing what He Junchao said, Gu Chen stretched out his hand and said.
Lu Weiwei quickly handed the tablet on her desk to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen also randomly clicked on the map and began to investigate based on the specific location of Zhou Xiaotong's stay.
It didn't take long for Gu Chen to find the Xinxin Hotel and couldn't help but say:
"This is the juncture of urban and rural areas. On both sides of the road, there are some hotels, auto repair shops, and some small shops."
"I really don't understand why Zhou Xiaotong comes to this place?"
"Besides, there is a forest behind, and this forest is very large. If you enter from this way, you will have to search the mountain to find Zhou Xiaotong."
"Could it be that Zhou Xiaotong went into the mountains?" Officer Wang said in disbelief.
Gu Chen was not good at judging, so he added: "How about this? Let's set off immediately and go to the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city to check out the situation and see what the boss there has to say?"
"In addition, you can go and investigate. On the night when Zhou Xiaotong disappeared, where was he at dinner time? Who was he in contact with?"
"As long as we find these clues, I think it shouldn't be difficult to find Zhou Xiaotong's specific location."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly?" Lu Weiwei was also a little impatient.
Since Gu Chen arranged for Yuan Shasha to see Zhou Kui off, Gu Chen could only take Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang and drive to the west of the city.
And this Xinxin Hotel is also located at the urban-rural fringe, so the distance is a bit long.
Gu Chen drove for 40 minutes and finally parked the car at the entrance of Xinxin Hotel.
Several people got out of the car quickly and walked directly to the front desk of Xinxin Hotel.
But as soon as I walked into the lobby, there was no one at the front desk.
Gu Chen looked around and found that the place was as quiet as ever, and there didn't seem to be too many human fireworks.
