With the surveillance weapon in hand, Officer Wang can finally let go of his worries.
You know, if we don't use some special means to deal with this Xu Peiwen, it may be really difficult to deal with him.
Fortunately, everything has settled now. All we need to do is send out on-duty personnel every day and wear earphones to monitor.
And by writing the monitoring records in a notebook, coupled with external monitoring assistance, it was basically possible to grasp Xu Peiwen's daily situation.
Officer Wang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yuan Shasha on the side and said: "Xiao Yuan, how about I leave this place to you and everyone takes turns monitoring it?"
"No problem." Seeing that she was the first one, Yuan Shasha didn't hesitate and sat directly on the seat, putting the monitoring headset on her head.
Then he picked up the pen and paper on the table, ready to record Xu Peiwen's specific updates at any time.
Officer Wang looked around, waved his hand and said, "Everyone is fine, let's disperse. Let's all disperse. Go back and have a good rest. You will suffer a lot in the next few days."
It was also at the urging of Officer Wang that Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong turned and left the office.
This place soon became the office space of Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha.
Due to the special situation, Gu Chen vacated the office of the Sports Center Police Station as a temporary dispatch room for everyone.
Therefore, Gu Chen quickly moved a few folding beds from the next room, also placed them in the empty space on one side and said, "There are three folding beds here."
"Three of us have a rest, and one of us is on duty to monitor. We change shifts every three hours."
Glancing at Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen said again: "Xiao Yuan, remember to ask me to come over and change your shift in three hours."
"Understood." Yuan Shasha nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother Gu, don't worry, just leave it to me. You guys can rest first."
After everyone briefly communicated, Gu Chen, along with Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, began to lie down on the folding bed to rest.
Time passed by minute by second, and it was 11:30 in the blink of an eye.
When Gu Chen opened his eyes, Yuan Shasha was still sitting at his desk.
The headlights in the room have been turned off, and only the desk lamp in front of Yuan Shasha is still on.
After Gu Chen got up, he came directly to Yuan Shasha.
Yuan Shasha also noticed Gu Chen's movements, turned around and said casually: "Senior Brother Gu."
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Gu Chen asked.
Yuan Shasha nodded silently and quickly explained: "Xu Peiwen received a call at 9:40. The other party seemed to be a middle-aged woman, and she chatted with him on the phone for a long time."
"Phone?" After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen quickly asked: "Is it the phone number he used to register for the food festival booth? We already have that phone number, and Senior Brother He will monitor it."
"No." Yuan Shasha shook her head and continued to explain:
"I communicated with Senior Brother He, and Senior Brother He said that the phone used was not the one registered for the food festival, but maybe another phone."
"Well, this is also in line with Xu Peiwen's cautious characteristics." After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen thought briefly for a few seconds, then picked up the notebook on the table and read it carefully.
After a while, Gu Chen glanced at Yuan Shasha and said lightly: "That's all we talked about?"
"Yes, it's quite disgusting. It doesn't feel like the relationship between the two is like a couple. And for someone like Xu Peiwen who has disappeared for decades, it doesn't feel like they have a family."
"This person is more like his mistress. Moreover, this woman is in Jiangnan City. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they seemed quite familiar."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently and said thoughtfully:
"It seems that Xu Peiwen came to Jiangnan City not just to attend the food festival, but he may also come here to meet this woman."
"Yes, he did say that he would invite this woman to the restaurant for dinner at noon tomorrow," Yuan Shasha said.
Gu Chen glanced at the record book and whispered: "Wang Xiaomei?"
"Yes, this woman's name is Wang Xiaomei, and the two of them seem quite familiar. They have made an appointment to have dinner at Futian Hotel at noon tomorrow."
"This Futian Hotel seems to be a high-end restaurant, right?" Gu Chen seemed a little familiar with the name, so he asked casually.
Yuan Shasha nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, this Futian Hotel is a high-end restaurant and belongs to the company under the Yuan Group's catering business group."
"The per capita consumption is around 500, and Xu Peiwen only asked this woman named Wang Xiaomei to have dinner alone, which means that a meal for two people will cost at least 1,000 yuan."
"Something's wrong." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Gu Chen shook his head and said involuntarily:
"Judging from our contact with Xu Peiwen, he is a frugal person who even refuses to pay for his stay in a hotel."
"I would rather sleep in a van and take a shower in a public toilet than spend money to stay in a hotel."
"But now, I invited Wang Xiaomei to a high-end restaurant with an average consumption of 500 per person."
After a pause, Gu Chen also thought about it and said, "This shows that Wang Xiaomei is very important to Xu Peiwen."
"Even if Xu Peiwen saves money, he still wants to go to such a high-end restaurant."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen looked at the record book again and hurriedly asked Yuan Shasha: "By the way, Xiao Yuan, you only recorded here that the two of them were going to Futian Hotel for dinner. There was no record of who suggested going to Futian Hotel.
?”
"It was Xu Peiwen who proposed it." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Yuan Shasha quickly took the record book back and then added a note to the record and said:
"On the phone, it was Xu Peiwen who asked Wang Xiaomei to go to Futian Hotel for dinner. It seemed quite luxurious."
"I estimate that this Xu Peiwen and this Wang Xiaomei are in love, but Xu Peiwen is already very old, and this Wang Xiaomei, judging by her voice, looks to be in her forties or fifties."
"Okay." After getting Yuan Shasha's reply, Gu Chen reminded: "Xiao Yuan, you can go to rest first and leave the duty to me."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay." Yuan Shasha yawned and said listlessly: "Then I will go to sleep for a while."
Here Yuan Shasha was resting on her folding bed, and Gu Chen immediately put on the monitoring headphones.
At this moment, all Gu Chen heard was the sound of snoring, and it seemed that Xu Peiwen had fallen asleep.
Looking at the sonogram on the computer screen, it also tended to be stable, so Gu Chen felt that the problem was not serious.
…
…
The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
At 6:20 in the morning, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha woke up one after another and saw Gu Chen still lying on the seat, with his hands folded across his chest and his eyes closed to rest.
Officer Wang thought that Gu Chen was too tired and fell asleep. When he was about to wake up Gu Chen, Gu Chen opened his eyes as if he had a pair of eyes on the back of his head, turned to look at everyone and said, "You all wake up.
Already?"
"Gu Chen, why don't you ask us to change shifts? You've been on guard all night, aren't you tired?" Officer Wang said.
Gu Chen smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. This Xu Peiwen has been sleeping since he and Xiao Yuan changed shifts yesterday."
"I listened to his snoring all night and I'm not tired at all."
"Haha, it seems that Xu Peiwen went to bed very early." Lu Weiwei also smiled lightly after hearing Gu Chen's words.
But Gu Chen reminded him: "But today at noon, this Xu Peiwen wants to invite a woman named Wang Xiaomei to have dinner at Futian Hotel."
"Futian Hotel?"
"Invite a woman named Wang Xiaomei?"
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were stunned and looked at each other.
Yuan Shasha, who knew about it, quickly echoed: "Yes, this Wang Xiaomei lives in Jiangnan City, and she seems to be between 40 and 50 years old."
"Her relationship with Xu Peiwen is more like concubines. Anyway, it's not difficult to tell from the chat between the two."
"Okay." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Officer Wang also snapped his fingers and said:
"I was originally worried about how to break through Xu Peiwen. I felt that it would be quite difficult to start with Xu Peiwen."
"Okay now, a Wang Xiaomei appears, and this Wang Xiaomei has a good relationship with Xu Peiwen."
"Then she should know something about Xu Peiwen, at least more thoroughly than we do."
"We can continue the in-depth investigation through Wang Xiaomei's line. This way, it will be much easier."
With a sigh, Officer Wang also put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but said: "That's it, we will focus on the target today, and we have to add a king..."
"Wang Xiaomei." Yuan Shasha reminded.
"Yes." Officer Wang shook his finger and said calmly: "This is Wang Xiaomei."
"Aren't they going to eat at that Futian Hotel? That's great, we can go there in advance and deploy there."
"Find a way to get them to a designated location, and then we can arrange personnel there in advance."
"In this way, we can clearly know what these two people are doing?"
"Then we have to communicate with the manager at Futian Hotel first, right?" Lu Weiwei said.
Before Officer Wang could speak, Yuan Shasha took the initiative and said, "I know the manager there. You can leave this matter to me."
"Xiao Yuan knows the hotel manager?" Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Officer Wang was also overjoyed and said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, but you must handle it well."
"Don't worry, I'll go out and make a call." Yuan Shasha finished her words and immediately walked out of the office with her cell phone in hand.
Officer Wang looked at Yuan Shasha's back disappearing around the corner and couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh, Xiao Yuan usually looks gentle and quiet, but he is very good at socializing. The key is that he knows a lot of people from all walks of life."
"Maybe Xiao Yuan is usually too low-key." Lu Weiwei picked up the paper cup, filled it with a glass of water, and said:
"It's not difficult to see from the last time that little Yuan was able to use her relatives who were assistants to Mr. Yuan to help us mobilize a helicopter to assist our son in Haidong City to handle the case."
"This little Yuan is really capable, and his connections are simply beyond our imagination."
"Yes." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Officer Wang couldn't help but sigh:
"Speaking of which, is this little Yuan really from an ordinary family? Why do you feel like you exude the temperament of a young lady all over your body?"
"But I take the bus to work every day. Tsk, I really can't understand it. I can't understand it."
"Okay." Seeing that everyone was still mumbling, Yuan Shasha had already walked in from the door, smiling at everyone and saying:
"It's done. The manager over there said that he will pay special attention to these customers named Xu Peiwen and Wang Xiaomei."
"Once these two people show up, they will specially arrange a fixed location, and that side is the dining hall, which is used for scattered customers to eat."
"If the two of them want a separate private room, then the private room will also have specific arrangements for them."
After a pause, Yuan Shasha asked again: "Also, the manager over there asked if they need help in installing monitoring equipment or something?"
"What? Have you told others this? Aren't you afraid that the manager will leak the secret?" Officer Wang was also shocked when he heard Yuan Shasha's bold arrangement.
But Yuan Shasha smiled and said: "No, if this manager dares to leak it, then he will stop working and will have to pack up and leave tomorrow."
"It's not that you wait a minute." When Yuan Shasha said this, Officer Wang waved his hand to interrupt, and then said:
"You, Xiao Yuan, asked the manager of Futian Hotel for help, and then they arranged specific positions for Xu Peiwen and Wang Xiaomei according to your wishes. This is considered helping, right?"
"Yes." Faced with Officer Wang's question, Yuan Shasha nodded silently.
So Officer Wang asked again: "Then, they helped you and leaked this secret situation, and then they packed up and left?"
"This... this sounds weird no matter how I hear it. They have autonomy and are clearly helping us, so why does their manager pack up and leave? There seems to be something wrong with this logic?"
"Ah? Haha." Also hearing Officer Wang's embarrassment, Yuan Shasha also smiled awkwardly and quickly explained:
"Oh, that's what the manager said himself. If anyone dares to leak it and affect our police's handling of the case, then he will pack up and leave."
"So, there's nothing wrong with this, right?"
After listening to Yuan Shasha's clear explanation, Officer Wang breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said:
"I understand what you said, and it feels like it's normal. However, it's hard to judge whether he will tell others, right?"
"No, I only told the manager of this hotel, so he also promised that he would never tell the second person. He said that he used his own personality to guarantee that the arrangements would be in order."
Seeing Yuan Shasha say these words seriously, Officer Wang thought briefly for a few seconds before he nodded slowly and said involuntarily:
"That's good, that's good. It's just that you, Xiao Yuan, have a better attitude towards others next time. Now we are asking others for help. If they are willing, it will give us face. Even if they are unwilling, we can't force them."
"But after hearing your arrangement, Xiao Yuan, I feel like you are ordering me to do this, otherwise the hotel manager will pack up and leave."
Taking a deep breath, Officer Wang also sighed and said, "If you didn't know this, would you have thought that that high-end restaurant belongs to you?"
