Gu Chen paid for the meal with his mobile phone, and the beautiful waiter at the front desk handed him a membership card as a gift.
"Handsome guy can give me a 15% discount next time he comes over."
"Thanks."
Gu Chen took the membership card, returned to the dining table, and handed it to Lu Weiwei: "Take this card and you can get a 15% discount next time you come over."
"Really, that's a good deal." Lu Weiwei took the card, looked at it, and put it in her bag.
"Where are we going now? The library?" Jiang Xiaomi looked at Gu Chen, having heard him say this before.
Gu Chen observed Wu Meixi carefully and said, "What do you think, Senior Sister Wu? If you have something to do at home, you don't have to go."
Considering that Wu Meixi started a family, there must be a lot of trivial matters at home, so Gu Chen didn't want to waste her time too much.
The latter responded positively: "Okay, you go to the library, I'll take a taxi home."
"Sister, do you want me to take you back first?" Jiang Xiaomi said.
Wu Meixi waved her hand: "Forget it then. If you drive me home at your speed, then drive to the library, the library will probably be closed soon."
"Okay, sister, please walk slowly. We'll make an appointment next time for dinner."
"Bye-Bye."
Several people said goodbye at the entrance of the Internet celebrity hotel...
Considering that Jiang Xiaomi was still a novice, or a potential road killer, Gu Chen also considered the urgency of time, so he said that he could be a driver.
So the three of them drove to the city library with Gu Chen.
Jiangnan City is a learning city, and the library, as a service-oriented institution, is basically open until 9:30 pm.
Therefore, many people who want to take social self-study exams will choose to go to the library to review.
And with the addition of some members of the public, the seats are full every day.
However, these are not issues that Gu Chen needs to consider. Having a professional memory, strengthening the contents of the book in his mind, and continuously consolidating it is what Gu Chen needs to do now.
The knowledge I digest in one night is more than it takes other people several months or half a year.
Therefore, in the library, Gu Chen's main pursuit is to prioritize quantity and digest some professional knowledge so that it can be used in solving crimes.
Lu Weiwei and Jiang Xiaomi, on the other hand, selected a few fashion magazines and sat on the reading platform to think quietly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
There was a Mediterranean man wearing glasses around him. He was attracted by Gu Chen's movement of flipping through the book next to him. He couldn't help but frowned and kept a certain distance from Gu Chen.
Not long after, the "clattering" sound of flipping books around me sounded again.
The Mediterranean man wearing glasses couldn't help but be startled. When he turned around, Gu Chen was already beside him again, flipping through the content he had just flipped through.
The man hesitated for a moment, put down his book, and walked to a few bookcases away from Gu Chen.
I always felt that this guy flipped through the books too fast, and he probably came to the library to just take a look.
Although Gu Chen has master-level memory and has a photographic memory for book knowledge, the period of time he can truly remember it is only one month.
As the saying goes, you learn something new by reviewing the past, so Gu Chen is more willing to brush up on the previously useful knowledge.
Gu Chen has compared this effect and it can last for two to three months.
Gu Chen arranges everything in detail so that he always has sufficient knowledge to support him. Coupled with the supplement of functional drinks, it creates a virtuous cycle.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already a quarter past 9 p.m.
The librarian started cleaning, and many people began to leave one after another.
Gu Chen didn't know how many books he had read. Looking back, Jiang Xiaomi and Lu Weiwei were reading with gusto in the reading room.
But at this moment, a fierce quarrel suddenly came from the distance, and there seemed to be plans to start a fight.
Many people turned their heads and pointed at the door.
"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen standing in front of her, Lu Weiwei also stood up and said, "There seems to be someone making trouble over there."
"It must be a quarrel!" Jiang Xiaomi smiled, took out his mobile phone and said: "Hurry over and take some photos. It seems that we have more material for tomorrow."
"Is this okay?" Lu Weiwei said, but she couldn't bear to continue. She felt that Jiang Xiaomi was just like her cousin Xi Ye, life was full of work.
"Let's go take a look first." Gu Chen also put down the book in his hand and followed some people towards the door.
Lu Weiwei and Jiang Xiaomi looked at each other and followed Gu Chen's footsteps.
"Liu Jun, you kid can't run past the first grade of junior high school but can't run past the fifteenth grade. I tell you, next time I see you, I'll beat you every time."
The Mediterranean man who was reading next to Gu Chen just now was dragging another man and roaring.
The other person was none other than the lecturer Gu Chen met at the internet celebrity restaurant.
"Hu Haoren, please let go of your hand, don't force me to do it."
"Oh, you loser, you dare to do something? Are your wings stiff?" The Mediterranean man named Hu Haoren still refused to let go, holding on to the lecturer named Liu Jun.
At this moment, Liu Jun did not make a move, but Hu Haoren had already pulled out a heavy wrinkle on the collar of his clothes.
A fat female librarian immediately knocked on the table with a feather duster: "I asked you two, can you move to another place to quarrel? Can you? This is the library, not a place for you to cause trouble."
"Shut up." Hu Haoren glared at the librarian and said, "This trash needs to be dealt with. You don't have to worry about my affairs with him."
The fat female librarian was not happy. Someone pointed her nose in her nose and told her no. She immediately took a feather duster and walked around the front desk, staring at Hu Haoren with a look of eagerness.
"Can you try saying something again?"
"Just try it, our affairs are none of your business?" Hu Haoren did not give her any face.
The fat librarian was also very angry. He immediately took out the feather duster and continued: "If you have the ability, can you say a few more words?"
"Aren't you afraid? Our business is none of your business. It's none of your business. Do you have any opinions?" Mediterranean Hu Haoren's operation confused many onlookers.
"Then try saying ten more sentences." The fat librarian was not in a hurry and immediately made a new request.
"I...what the hell..."
Hu Haoren was suddenly confused and felt a little cheated.
"Are you too full for running wild on my property? Make a noise and don't interfere with other people's reading."
Seeing that he had the advantage in momentum, the librarian took a step forward.
"Okay, you're being cruel." Hu Haoren stopped arguing with her, grabbed Liu Jun's collar and said, "Let's go out and talk."
Many people took out their mobile phones and filmed this scene.
Many people tried to follow, but were stopped by the fat librarian.
"Is there anything interesting to see? If you want to borrow books, go to the automatic borrowing machine and swipe your ID card. If you haven't applied for it, don't take the books out, otherwise you will be fined."
The fat librarian was also a little aggrieved by the quarrel between these two people just now, and was sulking at the moment.
"Let's go over and take a look." Gu Chen didn't care too much and followed directly.
"Wait for me, I'll get my bag." Lu Weiwei said.
Jiang Xiaomi also said: "Sister Weiwei, help me get it too."
Soon, Gu Chen walked down from the library, and the quarrel between Hu Haoren and Liu Jun continued.
Gu Chen didn't understand the situation, so he just stood at the stairs and watched quietly.
But the interesting thing is that no matter how much the Mediterranean Hu Haoren cursed at the lecturer Liu Jun, Liu Jun always had an indifferent expression.
What was even more interesting was that Hu Haoren, who was not tall, kept pushing Liu Jun.
Liu Jun could only retreat step by step, but had no intention of taking action. Until the moment when Hu Haoren was cursing, he slapped Liu Jun hard on the face. Liu Jun suddenly looked stunned and stretched out his hand to fight back, but at the end
He stopped it in time and had no intention of taking action.
"What? You still want to hit me? You are a waste, a trash, a bug in society, a street guy." Every word Hu Haoren said was unpleasant, as if he was deliberately irritating Liu Jun.
However, in fact, Gu Chen had already seen Liu Jun's fists clenched tightly, but he still had no intention of taking action.
"Trash, trash, come and hit me? Don't you want to hit me? I tell you, next time I see you, I will hit you one at a time, bah."
After Hu Haoren spat on Liu Jun, he turned around and walked away.
However, this scene was all seen by Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Jiang Xiaomi at the stairs.
Everyone felt incredible, and everyone couldn't understand that Liu Jun was so insulted by this Mediterranean man named Hu Haoren, but he didn't even beat him up?
"Isn't this person too arrogant? Can't we just sit down and talk about something? He insists on insulting people in public. Is this person sick?" Jiang Xiaomi was the first to stand up and felt like her lungs were going to explode with anger.
"I think this person named Liu Jun is not a good person. Otherwise, he was insulted and beaten just now. Why didn't he fight back? Both of them are not a good person." Lu Weiwei also said her own opinion based on the judgment at the scene.
view.
Then she looked at Gu Chen beside her and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?"
"It's hard to say." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "The impression this lecturer gave me before was that he was very motivated. Do you still remember him?"
"Remember what?" Jiang Xiaomi didn't know why and looked up at Gu Chen.
"He said that he has been working hard in Jiangnan City for ten years, but has not made any achievements so far, so he is now forcing himself to change. Even if he has never spoken Mandarin well, he now dares to speak in public
Practice in front of me more than three times a day." Gu Chen said.
"So, this Liu Jun is really calm." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and imitated Gu Chen's way of thinking with her chin on her head: "But he doesn't need to be so restrained, right? Everyone has bullied him into this, and in the end
At least he doesn’t even dare to yell, this man is too useless, isn’t he?”
"This kind of people are usually more powerful, right?" Jiang Xiaomi questioned, saying: "According to the TV series script, if God wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy. This Mediterranean uncle is so arrogant, I thought that in the end, the lecturer Liu Jun will slap him
He was slapped to the ground, but there was no reversal I wanted. This Liu Jun was low from beginning to end."
After all, who in the right mind can bear such an insult?
Rather than being restrained, it is better to say that I am cowardly. The scene just now was taken by many people who were reading, and this is all evidence.
If it was due to family feud, forget it. If it was intentional to cause trouble, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei could have stepped forward to stop it at that time.
Lecturer Liu Jun stayed alone in the hall for a short time, tugged on his wrinkled collar, walked out of Jiangnan Library, and disappeared on the road illuminated by neon lights.
"Let's go too." Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and Jiang Xiaomi beside him. The time was exactly 9:30.
Many people who were reading brought their things and walked down the stairs.
Jiang Xiaomi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go home and I'll see you off."
"No, you take Senior Sister Lu back, and I'll take a taxi myself." Gu Chen said.
"Okay, Junior Brother Gu, please be careful on the road. Let's go first." Lu Weiwei said hello to Gu Chen, then she and Jiang Xiaomi held hands and left the library together.
Gu Chen did not take a taxi back to the police station dormitory, but followed the direction in which the lecturer Liu Jun left and chased him all the way.
In fact, judging from Liu Jun's actions just now, Gu Chen didn't look like someone who would just give up.
The repeated forbearance just now is not the character Liu Jun should have.
But he's holding back...
Yes, a lecturer who forces himself to speak three times in public every day is already a character breakthrough.
People who have left behind their original timidity and inferiority complex chose to restrain their emotions when faced with this kind of bullying. This shows that this lecturer Liu Jun is really not an ordinary person.
Liu Jun did not take a taxi, but just carried his black computer bag and walked, kept walking, along a certain road until he reached the end.
Then, after staying briefly at the bus stop for a few seconds, he walked into an old community.
Gu Chen knew that most of the locals here had houses in other new developments, while this old community was mostly rented to some outsiders.
After watching Liu Jun walk into a unit, when the lights on the third floor turned on, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that Liu Jun should have arrived home safely, and he did not have the violent fluctuations in emotions that he thought.
Then he did some extreme behavior.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Gu Chen shook his head, stopped a taxi at the intersection, and returned to the police dormitory of Furong Police Station.
…
…
The next day, early morning.
The sun was shining brightly, and sparrows were chirping in the trees in the Furong Police Station compound.
Occasionally, a few brave ones would fly to Lu Weiwei's desk, take out a few of the opened potato chips.
"Gu Chen, was the internet celebrity restaurant you went to yesterday delicious?" Officer Wang asked Gu Chen curiously as soon as he arrived at the office.
"Not bad. Why didn't Senior Brother Wang go with us yesterday?" Gu Chen picked up the water cup and walked to the water dispenser to fill it with hot water.
"Isn't this Master Xi's treat? How can I have the nerve to eat for a while?" After thinking for two more seconds, Officer Wang added: "Next time we have a dinner, let's go there and have a meal too. How about that?"
After hearing the conversation between Officer Wang and Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei walked in from the door and immediately laughed out loud: "Old Wang, when did you become so generous? Did your sister-in-law increase your pocket money or did you give you a bonus recently?
Already?"
"You can't say that." Officer Wang put on a cold look and pointed to Jiang Shan: "This monthly team building cannot be omitted by our province. I found that this is conducive to strengthening the relationship between everyone.
Tacit understanding is very helpful in improving work efficiency."
Seeing Lu Weiwei's happy face, Officer Wang added: "Of course, you can't treat the boss every time, right? Logically speaking, you should also pay appropriately, even aa, so the number of times we go out
You can have more, isn’t that right, Gu Chen?”
Officer Wang turned his attention to Gu Chen again.
"Senior Brother Wang is right. Let's take turns paying at the next dinner party." Gu Chen also had no objection. This was exactly what Officer Wang was trying to do.
Lu Weiwei said unhappily: "Junior Brother Gu, you have been fooled. Lao Wang just wants us to treat more guests. How can our salary be compared with his?"
"It's okay, the worst case scenario is mine." Gu Chen answered simply.
Logically speaking, Gu Chen's family cannot make one million a year, but it is still easy to make several hundred thousand.
The family has a house and a car, and Gu Chen's own expenses are very small.
Although the salary is low, Gu Chen is not stingy.
I didn’t come to be a police officer just to make more money legally like Mao Zedong...
On the one hand, I like to be a police officer, but on the other hand, because I have relatives in the sea, land and air, becoming a police officer is in line with the family tradition.
So everything is natural.
As for his salary, he can spend it however he wants. Gu Chen actually doesn't feel bad about it.
Officer Wang walked to Gu Chen's side, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Look, look at Gu Chen's awareness, Lu Weiwei, you are much worse in this regard."
"I..." Just as Lu Weiwei was about to say something, the phone in the office suddenly rang.
Lu Weiwei grabbed the phone and said, "Hello? This is the Criminal Investigation Team 3 of Furong Police Station. What? Murder case? Okay, I understand, we will handle it immediately. Okay, please don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, before Lu Weiwei reported the police situation, Officer Wang and Gu Chen's expressions were already ugly.
"What murder case?" Officer Wang asked first.
"Some people called the police. Someone died at home in the overpass community," Lu Weiwei said.
Officer Wang looked at Lu Weiwei blankly, and said with a sad expression: "It's really unlucky to have a murder case so early in the morning."
"Isn't it? It's only eight o'clock. It seems like you are waiting for us to go to work. You don't even have time to give me a drink of water."
"Okay, stop talking." Officer Wang, who was already sorting out his equipment, looked at Gu Chen, who was already ready, and couldn't help but said, "Let's go and take a look."
Not long after, the three of them drove a police car to the overpass community with sirens blaring all the way.
There was a group of onlookers downstairs, whispering at the moment. Seeing the police car driving into the yard, many people spontaneously gave way to the passage.
"The police are coming."
"Oh, this happened so early in the morning. It seems that the housing prices in our community are going to fall."
"Isn't it? How could something like this happen? It's really unlucky."
After parking the car, Gu Chen put the police hat on his head, turned on the law enforcement recorder and asked: "Who called the police?"
"Comrade police, it's me." A tall and thin man squeezed out of the crowd and said tremblingly: "The deceased was my roommate."
"Take us to have a look." Officer Wang said.
"Okay, please come with me." The man nodded and quickly led the way.
After opening the door with the key, the tall and thin man made way for Gu Chen to walk in first.
In a room, Gu Chen saw the deceased. However, what surprised Gu Chen was that he had seen this man himself.
