Lu Weiwei still has a very clear self-awareness. In this situation, the lower profile the better.
If you are too high-profile, it will easily attract attention.
Moreover, Gu Chen and himself had also done a rough sorting out before. The reason was that the business district was the favorite place for young people to gather.
So it’s quite particular about what clothes to wear.
While the two were talking, Gu Chen had already changed his clothes and came to the two of them.
As soon as he put on his baseball cap, Gu Chen quickly asked: "Is this okay?"
"Okay, that's great." Looking at Gu Chen dressed in student clothes, Wu Meixi also laughed out loud:
"Gu Chen, if you dress like this, you will definitely not be recognized."
"What about Senior Sister Lu?" Gu Chen asked again.
"She's still early, but she's getting close. You go and wait aside. I'll put makeup on Lu Weiwei right away." Mr. Xi also knew that time was tight now and the tasks were heavy.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei need to conduct investigations near Fangfang Coffee House in advance.
In terms of time, it is before 4pm tomorrow.
So overall, we are still in a hurry.
Gu Chen had already considered all the surrounding streets when making the action plan, including detailed descriptions of which locations were suitable for arranging plainclothes manpower.
Therefore, others only need to follow Zhao Chen's plan.
But Gu Chen needs to find a secret passage. After all, he is facing an old fox who is dealing with Sanji.
Gu Chen never dared to be careless with such a scheming guy.
In about half an hour, thanks to Master Xi's unremitting efforts, Lu Weiwei's appearance also underwent an earth-shaking change.
Looking at her own appearance, Lu Weiwei looked pretty in the mirror for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Gu Chen looked puzzled and asked out of curiosity: "Senior Sister Lu, why are you laughing? I think the look that Senior Sister Wu made for you is pretty good."
"Pfft!" Upon hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei immediately laughed even louder.
When Wu Meixi took a look, she immediately threw the tools on the dressing table, put her hands on her hips, and asked curiously:
"Hey, Lu Weiwei, is it so funny? Look at how funny you are."
"No, no, that's not what I mean. Pfft, I just feel that if my parents saw this look, they might be frightened. With this heavy make-up, I feel like I just stepped out of a bar dance floor."
"Then you should learn from Gu Chen and wear a hat to cover up your damn good looks."
Seeing Lu Weiwei's gloating look, Wu Meixi also sighed, feeling a little helpless.
After everyone coordinated, they made a small range of modifications to their respective styles.
…
…
10:10 am.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, dressed in casual clothes, pretended to be a couple and kept shopping on the street near Fangfang Coffee House.
The main thing is to find out whether the surrounding building structures have loopholes that are conducive to foxes escaping.
But after walking around, I found that there are quite a few old buildings here.
Although many of the storefronts on the first floor are decorated very trendy, the old exterior walls upstairs still reveal the sense of age here.
After Gu Chen also bought a small trinket for Lu Weiwei, he reminded him in a low voice: "This business district used to be an old family area of a state-owned enterprise."
"At the beginning, many state-owned enterprise employees lost their jobs after being laid off, and some started to set up stalls nearby to buy vegetables."
"Gradually, a commodity trading center formed here, but they were all simple street stalls."
"Later, the sub-district office simply reorganized this area, and the current business district was created."
"I see." Lu Weiwei, who was not very familiar with this area, also said thoughtfully:
"That's strange. This place is not a traffic thoroughfare, but is hidden in a very narrow alley, but it can still attract so many customers. It seems that this has something to do with the history of its formation."
"That's right." Holding Lu Weiwei's hand, Gu Chen also walked slowly along the roadside and continued to explain:
"At first, the customers here were all from the family area, but later, customers from many surrounding places came here when they heard that things were cheap here."
"Itinerant vendors from other places, seeing more and more people here, began to gather here."
"After various resources were integrated by the neighborhood office, a concert was held here. It was still trendy at the time."
“Many schools in Jiangnan City have people from the street office distributing flyers to promote the issue.”
"Later, there was a stage area that was originally planned to accommodate 300 people. How many people did you guess came?"
"Well……"
It felt like Gu Chen was really careful in investigating the situation here. Lu Weiwei looked confused and thought carefully.
But after a while, Lu Weiwei still chose to give up and couldn't help shaking her head: "I don't know, how many people came?"
"Gu Chen stretched out three fingers."
"3,000 people?" Lu Weiwei was stunned, a little unbelievable.
Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, due to the good publicity at the time, many students from the school wanted to come over and join in the fun."
"Because music festivals at that time were still a new thing at that time."
"That's why it is sought after by many young people, especially students."
"Just like that, the music festival that was originally planned to accommodate 300 people suddenly showed up to 3,000 people."
"Then wouldn't there be room for so many people here?" Lu Weiwei looked around and assessed:
"The area here is so big, how can it accommodate so many people?"
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to explain:
"Because there were so many people coming at that time, every street here was packed."
"In the end, some people even climbed up big trees, and some people simply ran to the roofs of old residential buildings. Anyway, wherever there were people standing, they were filled with students in the end."
"In the end, the nearby police station was alerted, and they also sent a large number of police officers to maintain order."
"It can be said that the music festival completely made this business district popular."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So it's so popular?" Listening to Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei said in disbelief:
"I didn't expect that a small old business district would have so many stories back then?"
After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei added: "But, it was considered a sensation back then, so there must be records?"
"You're right." Gu Chen nodded silently and pointed in the direction of Fangfang Coffee House:
"The current Fangfang Cafe was where the stage was held back then, because this location is in the middle of the entire business district."
"Although it is connected in all directions, it is all concentrated in this small square."
"So that's it?" After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, but after a moment, Lu Weiwei frowned again and hurriedly asked Gu Chen:
"Junior Brother Gu, tell me, could this fox be the student who participated in that music festival back then?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen nodded in agreement and added, "I also suspect that this fox may be a nearby resident and is very familiar with everything here."
"After all, I can actually see that choosing this place to trade is mainly due to the retreat route."
"Once an accident occurs here, the fox can quickly escape through the roads extending in all directions."
"If we have a small number of people, then it is very likely that we will be stunned by him in this area."
"So, my feeling is that this fox may be trying to use the road to avoid detection."
"Then we have guarded every intersection now. He should be unable to fly. As long as he dares to keep his appointment, we will catch him as soon as possible." Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen sighed quietly and said helplessly:
"This is the best situation, but we still need to be cautious. After all, we don't have much time left."
"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen had been in a worried state from the morning until now, Lu Weiwei said with heartache:
"Is it possible that you think too highly of this fox? After all, all intersections here are already being watched by our people."
"Logically speaking, catching the fox should be easy, so you don't have to worry."
Looking left and right, Lu Weiwei said again: "Now, quickly check the suspicious places around, and then we will find a place to hide and wait."
"No." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen quickly denied it and said:
"We have been here for too long and are easily exposed. Now we have to retreat after one more turn. Let's see what's going on over there with Senior Brother Wang?"
"Then let's go sit at Fangfang Coffee House?" Lu Weiwei suggested.
Gu Chen looked around and found that all the places that should be inspected had been inspected, except for Fangfang Coffee House.
So Gu Chen nodded and walked towards the coffee house with Lu Weiwei.
The coffee shop here is very artistic and is located on the first floor of a narrow building.
But there are many seats in the small square area outside, and a giant umbrella is set up in the middle of each seat to provide shade.
There are many flowers and plants around, and the petty bourgeoisie atmosphere is very good.
Lu Weiwei looked around and reminded Gu Chen: "I will buy coffee later, and you are responsible for observing the surrounding situation."
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded in agreement, and then the two of them walked into the coffee shop together.
At this moment, there is still a long queue at the door, most of them are young people. The young people are talking and laughing, which makes it very noisy here.
And Gu Chen also found some older people.
These people seem to have a high pursuit of quality of life. They dress well, wear small hats, and look polite.
There were two elderly people like this, and they seemed to be neighbors here. They occasionally chatted with each other, but most of the time, they lined up quietly.
Gu Chen pretended to walk near the checkout counter, waiting for Lu Weiwei in line, so he took out his mobile phone and pretended to fiddle with it casually.
But Gu Chen used the cover of the brim of his baseball cap to keep scanning the surroundings.
Gu Chen discovered that Fangfang Coffee House actually had a second floor, which was accessed by a narrow staircase.
Since the building here is located in a central area with a small area, Gu Chen became curious about the second floor area and casually asked the clerk: "Are there seats on the second floor as well?"
"Oh, the second floor is a VIP private room, which is usually provided to our members. Do you have a member?"
A busy middle-aged woman also asked casually, still playing with the coffee drink in her hand.
Gu Chen smiled and said: "If you don't have a membership, can't you go up there? I feel like it's pretty good up there."
"Sorry." The middle-aged waitress shook her head and refused directly: "If you don't have a membership, we don't provide seats."
"Can I go over and take some photos?" Gu Chen asked again.
The middle-aged waitress was so confused by the queue of customers that she was almost in a hurry.
When Gu Chen said this, she also seemed a little impatient and said: "If you want to take pictures... you can do it now. There are no customers in the private room yet, but there will definitely be customers before noon."
After a pause, the middle-aged waitress brought the brewed coffee to the old man in front of her and said, "Take it carefully, be careful not to burn your hands."
"I know." The old man picked up the small tray, took the coffee and food directly, and walked towards the seats outside.
"Is it okay? There's no one around now anyway, so I can just post it on Moments and help you publicize it," Gu Chen said again.
The middle-aged female waiter sighed and said perfunctorily: "Originally, it's not possible, but you are spending money here, so you can go up and take some photos."
"Okay, then I'll go over and take a look first."
While turning around, Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei and said casually: "Bao, are you going up?"
Lu Weiwei, who understood what Gu Chen meant, also knew very well that when Gu Chen said this, it was obvious that he wanted her to stay here and observe the movements of the people below.
So Lu Weiwei smiled and shook her head: "I won't go now. The queue will take a long time. There will be no more seats outside later. You can go up. I will buy coffee later and wait for you outside."
"Okay, let me go over and take a look." Seeing that Lu Weiwei had understood what she meant, Gu Chen pretended to be very casual and walked up the stairs and started to look for the second floor.
Due to the narrow stairs, Gu Chen felt that it would be impossible for anyone coming down from the stairs to pass, and only one party would have to make concessions.
But when he came to the second floor, Gu Chen found that there were three private rooms, and the area of each private room was actually very narrow. Basically, the area of each private room was equivalent to the size of the seats in the canteen.
It just has a small door, and closing the door will have a good privacy effect.
Gu Chen quickly opened the door of the first room and entered the house to search.
I found that the place was empty, and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
So Gu Chen quickly went to the next location.
However, after Gu Chen investigated all the rooms, he found that there was a small door in a narrow space in the corridor of the room.
Out of curiosity, Gu Chen quickly opened the small door and found a narrow balcony.
On one side of the balcony, there is an iron ladder that allows you to climb to the top floor of the house.
Gu Chen frowned and was also curious: "This structure seems unreasonable, right?"
