Gu Chen also explained the situation he had just encountered to He Junchao in detail.
Since He Junchao also met Ah Zhe that night, he was quite familiar with Ah Zhe's situation.
Hearing that Azhe had lost contact, He Junchao immediately replied: "No problem, I will start investigating immediately after Zhang Ying sends Azhe's information."
"But, do you think this is too ridiculous? In fact, I have always felt that what happened to Azhe that night was a bit unreliable. After all, just based on someone's words, he felt that he had a chance?"
With a sigh, He Junchao said helplessly: "So, I feel that this matter is unreliable."
"Whether it's reliable or not, let's find Azhe first." Gu Chen didn't want to talk to He Junchao.
He Junchao on the phone said feebly: "Okay, anyway, I am just a tool, working for you."
"I'll take a look at the surveillance video first and see if I can find any clues."
"In addition, after receiving Azhe's detailed information, I will verify Azhe's identity and whether he has used his ID card. Don't worry about this."
"Senior Brother He is here, of course I'm relieved, so I'll trouble you, okay."
The two also exchanged a few simple greetings before they both hung up the phone.
Lu Weiwei on the side also said angrily: "This He Junchao must be complaining to you again, right?"
"Senior Brother He works very hard, isn't it normal to complain?" Gu Chen asked with raised eyebrows.
Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "He is the most comfortable sitting in the office all day without having to go out to work. Look at him, how has he become?"
"In the office, everyone is tanned, but he is the fairest."
"Haha." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen felt that the same was true. Afterwards, the two of them chatted and laughed and returned directly to Zhang Jingde's ward.
The two stayed in the ward for a long time. During this period, a team of doctors came for a review. Zhang Jingde also passed the review and was ready to be transferred to a general ward.
Everyone was busy until noon. When Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to the hospital cafeteria to prepare meals to take back to the ward, a phone call suddenly came through.
Gu Chen took out his cell phone and found that the caller was He Junchao, so he quickly opened the answer button and handed the packaged pork rib soup to Lu Weiwei standing aside.
"Senior Brother He, how are you doing?" Gu Chen asked.
"Gu Chen, the situation seems a little bad." He Junchao spoke on the phone in a calm voice.
After working with He Junchao for so many years, Gu Chen already knew He Junchao's situation very well.
The more calm the answer, the more it shows that the situation seems to be much more complicated than imagined.
Gu Chen quickly walked to a quiet area and continued to ask: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Let me tell you this, Azhe's situation is a bit abnormal. He actually disappeared after going to a few bars."
"Disappeared?" Gu Chen didn't understand, so he quickly asked: "What is the specific situation?"
"I couldn't explain clearly for a while. To put it simply, after he came out of several bars at night, he disappeared on Binjiang Road and then disappeared."
"In addition, I received an email. Azhe's real name was Hu Zhe. I also checked the use of the ID card based on his ID number and found that there was no trace."
"That means the last place where Azhe disappeared was on Binjiang Road?" Gu Chen asked.
"Well, I'll send it to you for the specific situation. You can take a look at it yourself."
As soon as He Junchao finished speaking, Gu Chen's phone immediately received a surveillance video.
Gu Chen didn't say anything and just clicked play.
In the video, a man was vaguely seen walking out of a bar and then disappeared into the blind spot of the surveillance camera.
And this area is just behind Binjiang Road, on the road along the river.
"Gu Chen, have you seen the video? This is the last place where Hu Zhe can be captured. Hu Zhe disappeared the night before yesterday."
"I know." After hearing He Junchao's report, Gu Chen agreed softly.
So He Junchao added: "It's still unclear where he went? Because I have called many nearby surveillance cameras and found that none of them could capture Hu Zhe."
"Thinking that it happened to be along the river, I was afraid that he might have accidentally fallen into the river after drinking?"
"It's very possible." Gu Chen couldn't judge now. After a brief hesitation, Gu Chen said again:
"Senior Brother He, please send me the specific location where Hu Zhe disappeared first. I will go there later to check on the situation."
"Okay, I'll send it to you now."
The two communicated for a while before hanging up the phone.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly stepped forward and asked Gu Chen: "Did Azhe fall into the river?"
"It's hard to judge now." Gu Chen took back his phone and hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, Zhang Ying happened to be carrying food and walked over from another food window, and happened to meet Gu Chen and others.
"Officer Gu." Zhang Ying greeted casually.
Gu Chen quickly stopped her and said, "By the way, Zhang Ying, let me ask you, how is Hu Zhe's drinking capacity?"
"Drinking capacity?" Zhang Ying was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied:
"When it comes to drinking, everyone in our metal band is pretty good."
"Then does he often go to bars to drink?" Gu Chen asked again.
"This seems unlikely, because the cost in bars is high, and we don't go to bars to perform, so we won't go to bars to spend money."
"And before Vujicic opened the barbecue stall, he would only go to some food stalls. Everyone lives frugally."
Zhang Ying also truthfully told Gu Chen what she knew about the situation.
Gu Chen hesitated for two seconds and continued to ask: "Then let me ask you again, if Hu Zhe is worried too much, will he go to the bar to drink away his worries?"
"this……"
Seemingly being asked, Zhang Ying hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to shake her head and said:
"I don't know about this, maybe, but I'm not sure."
After a pause, Zhang Ying quickly asked Gu Chen: "Oh, by the way, Officer Gu, have you already found out the whereabouts of Hu Zhe?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly.
"Then where is he now? Where is he?" Seeing Gu Chen's response, Zhang Ying immediately became emotional.
Lu Weiwei quickly replied: "Don't get excited, we also found traces of him."
"How can I not be excited? Hu Zicic's parents are almost crazy with anxiety, as well as the members of our band. Everyone cares about Hu Zicic. He is the backbone of our band."
"I'm just afraid that he will do something stupid..."
At this point, Zhang Ying seemed to realize something? She quickly looked in Gu Chen's direction and asked hurriedly:
"Officer Gu, is this Hu Zhe really doing something stupid? Can you please tell me?"
"Don't get excited yet." Gu Chen comforted Zhang Ying while telling him what he knew about the situation:
"I asked my colleagues from the police station to investigate Hu Zhe's whereabouts and found that the last time he appeared in the surveillance footage was the night before yesterday, around 10 o'clock, on Binjiang Road."
"After that, there were no more clues about him. I was suspicious..."
"You are suspicious that Hu Zhe fell into the river, right?" Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Zhang Ying seemed to have guessed what Gu Chen was thinking.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Yes, I have this kind of worry, so I want to ask you about the specific situation, that is, can Hu Zhe know how to swim?"
"He...he can swim." Zhang Ying hesitated for a moment, but soon gave her answer:
"We went to Yangcheng to perform before. After the performance, we went to the hotel where we stayed to rest. There happened to be a swimming pool in the hotel. I saw with my own eyes that Vujicic swam in the swimming pool. He should be able to swim."
"That's good." After hearing this reply, Gu Chen took a deep breath, calmed down briefly, and then said:
"Let's do this, you take these things to my Uncle Zhang's ward for me, and I'll go over and take a look at the specific situation."
"Of course...of course." Seeing that Gu Chen was about to go over to investigate, Zhang Ying quickly took the food from Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's hands and agreed:
"You go quickly and leave the food here to me."
The two parties were also at the entrance of the cafeteria. After a brief exchange, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei and quickly drove to Binjiang Road.
…
…
On the way, Lu Weiwei also sighed and said listlessly: "I feel like we don't deserve a vacation. Every time we agree on a vacation, in the end, it is delayed by some things."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Gu Chen, who was driving, still stared ahead.
Lu Weiwei, the co-pilot, nodded silently: "I know, and I am also very concerned about Hu Zhe's current condition."
"I feel like they are miserable enough. If Vujicic can't hold back and does something stupid, I will be very sad."
With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei shook her head helplessly: "I hope he is okay."
"call……"
Vehicles roared past and drove on the bridge across the river.
Not long after, Gu Chen parked his vehicle near the address sent by He Junchao.
Since noon is not the peak business period for the bar, there are still free parking spaces in front of the door.
After Gu Chen stopped the car, he looked up at the name of the bar: "K Bar?"
"Go in and ask?" Lu Weiwei said as she got off the car.
Gu Chen waved his hand and the two of them walked directly into the bar door.
Passing through a magnificently decorated bar passage, the two of them arrived at the interior.
At this moment, a waiter happened to be passing by listlessly.
Gu Chen quickly stopped him: "Hello, we are from Furong Branch."
Gu Chen first took out his police card and showed his identity, then took out Hu Zhe's photo and asked, "Excuse me, have you ever seen this person in a bar?"
The bar boy squinted his eyes and quickly waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I don't remember much."
"He came to your bar the night before yesterday, before about 10 o'clock, that is, between 9 and 10 o'clock. Think about it carefully." Lu Weiwei on the side also continued to remind.
The bar boy picked up Gu Chen's cell phone again and squinted at it, but he seemed to have no impression at all.
But after thinking for a moment, the bar boy said again: "Why don't you ask that person over there? He is our manager on duty here. He was on duty the night before yesterday. He may have seen you asking for help.
The person you are looking for."
"Thank you very much." Seeing what the bar guy said, Gu Chen took back his phone and glanced at a long-haired man not far away wearing a floral shirt and a gold chain, so he and Lu Weiwei walked directly over.
At this time, the man in the flowered shirt was still on the phone.
Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walking towards him, the man in the flowered shirt ignored him and just kept chatting with the characters on his phone:
"My dear, I must wear black stockings and fishnets at night. Don't all the guests now like to see that kind of clothes?"
"Hey, let me tell you, in the past two days, there have been some big enemies in our bar, the kind who are stupid and have a lot of money. They are quite generous with their actions, right, right."
"Enthusiast, one of them seems to be interested in you. All you need to do is dress like I said, and then come over and have some drinks with them. I'll blow some tips in my ear, and I'll make sure they tip well."
"After that, I'll take them to the box and we'll play cards with them. We won't stop until we win all their money, right."
"Sir." The man in the flowery shirt was still talking non-stop, communicating with a woman on the phone. Gu Chen also saw that he had no intention of stopping, so he quickly reminded him.
"Shh!" The man in the flowered shirt seemed a little unhappy that Gu Chen interrupted him to answer the phone. He frowned and made a shushing sign language to Gu Chen.
So he immediately said to the phone with a playful smile: "What, in a few days, I will introduce you to some big bosses, and we will go to Qiongdao on the yacht for a few days? Did I lie to you? When have I lied to you?
you?"
"Last time? Well, those poor guys were so good at pretending last time. Didn't we make a mistake? It's so easy to pretend to be a rich person now. You can pretend to be a rich person by renting a luxury car."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Aren't those people following Brother Hao? Brother Hao's luxury car belongs to him, and those guys rented it, but I
Didn't you pay attention? It won't happen this time, I promise it won't."
"These are all young men from listed companies. Their net worth is there, and I have checked their identities. They are rich people, really rich people, yes, yes."
"Sir, we are from Furong Branch."
Seeing that the man seemed to be chatting on the phone endlessly, Lu Weiwei did not tolerate him, so she took out her police ID card and showed it in front of the man.
The man in the flowered shirt was stunned for a moment. He looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in front of him and his expression was stunned: "Oh! It's a comrade from the police."
Seeing this, the man in the flowered shirt quickly said to the woman on the phone: "Okay, I have something to do here, so we won't talk anymore."
After the words fell, the man quickly hung up the phone, fearing that all the content of his previous chat would be heard by the police.
Of course, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had also heard it.
Facing the playful faces of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, the man in the floral shirt still had good eyesight. He immediately recognized Gu Chen, so he pointed at Gu Chen and said:
"Eh? Aren't you Gu Chen, the deputy director of Furong Branch?"
"Yes, it's me." Gu Chen nodded slightly and admitted his identity.
"Hey, Director Gu, why are you here to guide the work in person? Sit down, sit down."
After seeing Gu Chen's identity clearly, the man in the flowered shirt seemed particularly polite and immediately pulled Gu Chen to sit on a sofa.
Lu Weiwei followed closely and sat on the other side of Gu Chen.
The man in the floral shirt snapped his fingers at a bartender and said, "Take two bottles..."
When the words came to his lips, the man in the flowered shirt was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and asked Gu Chen: "What is that? Director Gu, what do you want to drink?"
"We don't drink. We came to see you this time because we want to know something about you." Gu Chen said.
"Oh! Understood the situation." After knowing the purpose of Gu Chen's visit, the man in the flowered shirt hurriedly greeted the bartender: "Bring two bottles of mineral water."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bartender came over with two bottles of high-end mineral water on a tray and placed the mineral water in front of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.
The man in the flowered shirt also politely took out the cigarette and wanted to hand it to Gu Chen.
After being declined by Gu Chen, he quickly took it back, took out his business card from his pocket, and handed it to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei:
"I'm the duty manager here, you can call me Kevin."
Gu Chen roughly looked at the front and back, then put the business card back into his pocket and said:
"Mr. Kevin, I'm looking for you this time because I want to get to know this person."
After he finished speaking, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, showed Hu Zhe's photo in front of him, and added:
"This man came to your bar between 9 and 10 pm the night before yesterday, and finally left around 10 pm. You happened to be on duty that day. Have you seen him?"
"Let me take a look." Kevin did not answer immediately, but took Gu Chen's phone and looked at it carefully.
After thinking for a moment, Kevin nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "I seem to have some impression of this person. He didn't come to the bar that day to spend money."
"After all, most of the people who come to my place for shopping are regular customers. He looks unfamiliar to me, and he seems to be looking around, as if he is looking for someone."
"Then have you communicated with him?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Oops." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Kevin directly crossed his legs and said thoughtfully:
"I remember that he seemed to have asked the bartender here. Later, the bartender asked him to ask me, and I had a brief contact with him."
"Then what did he say?" Seeing that Hu Zhe had communicated with Kevin, Lu Weiwei quickly asked again.
Kevin raised his chin and frowned in thought.
After a moment, he slowly said: "I remember that he seemed to ask me if I had ever seen a thin man about 30 years old with dreadlocks and hairstyle."
"I saw that he didn't come here to spend money and didn't understand the rules, so I just told him that he didn't know."
"What happened next?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Later? Later, he didn't give up and asked me again. I remember he said, that person was called a beggar. What did I say about a beggar and not a beggar? The people who come to our bar to spend money are all rich people. Where did the beggar come from?"
"He wants to say a few more words, but I'm a little impatient. After all, you don't understand the rules. If you order a glass of wine at our bar, I can chat with you, but you won't consume it."
"Are you too snobbish?" Seeing Kevin being so indifferent, Lu Weiwei said angrily.
But Kevin was not surprised and said with a smile: "Comrade police, don't be angry, I am telling the truth."
"It's just like when you go to the supermarket to inquire about something. If you buy something in the supermarket, the boss may explain it to you in detail."
"But if you don't buy anything and just ask casually at the door, then most bosses will be a little impatient, or they will answer you perfunctorily. Isn't that true?"
"This is the truth." Feeling like she was being bypassed by Kevin, Lu Weiwei quickly stopped and said:
"But what I want to ask now is, what happened next?"
"What happened next? I told him I didn't know, I hadn't seen him, what else could I say?"
"Then have you actually met the person he mentioned?" Gu Chen also continued to ask.
Kevin chuckled, and then continued to explain: "As for the person he mentioned, I remember a few people, but there seem to be quite a few who fit the characteristics he mentioned."
"However, most of them are young people, especially those who play rock and roll, play in bands, skateboarders, and hip-hop dancers..."
Kevin said a lot at once and kept gesticulating with his hands.
Gu Chen stretched out his hand and interrupted: "How many of these people actually meet these conditions?"
"Gu Ju, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Feeling that he couldn't answer, Kevin also put on a bitter look.
Gu Chen was a little helpless, and then said: "Then you have the surveillance from the night before yesterday, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, there is this." Kevin snapped his fingers, stood up quickly, and walked to the side of the bar.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other and followed closely behind.
Only then did he discover that there was a surveillance computer on the side of the bar, and at this time, Kevin was accessing the surveillance for that night.
In just a moment, Kevin found the specific time and quickly explained to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: "This is the surveillance at 9pm in this hall that night."
Gu Chen sat directly in front of the computer and started to play the surveillance manually.
As time passed by, Gu Chen also discovered Hu Zhe's figure.
At this moment, the time displayed on the monitoring screen is 9:10 pm.
"Here, Hu Zhe is here." Lu Weiwei, who was behind Gu Chen, quickly pointed to the screen.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued to speed up.
Soon, Hu Zhe's figure was almost everywhere in the bar.
Due to the large number of people in the bar here at night, it seemed particularly crowded. Hu Zhe kept asking about it and looking for staff to ask.
During this period, Gu Chen also discovered that Hu Zhe and Kevin had indeed had simple contact.
From the picture, Gu Chen indeed saw that Kevin did not want to talk to Hu Zhe.
"Hey! That's what it was like that day." Looking at himself on the screen, Kevin spread his hands and said.
Gu Chen ignored this and continued to play the surveillance video.
Soon, after asking in the lobby to no avail, Hu Zhe walked directly into a passage.
"Where is this place?" Gu Chen turned to ask Kevin.
"Direction to the toilet." Kevin lit a cigarette for himself and said leisurely.
"Is there surveillance here?" Gu Chen asked.
"Humph." Kevin chuckled twice, shook his head and said, "Sorry, the passage here is not monitored."
When Gu Chen heard this, he didn't care about it, but continued to speed up the monitoring.
However, when the time came to 10:10 pm, that is, when Hu Zhe appeared on the road outside Binjiang Road, there was still no trace of Hu Kai in the bar hall.
"How did he get out?" Lu Weiwei also felt a little strange and couldn't help but look at Kevin beside her.
"Huh?" Kevin didn't seem to understand what the two of them meant.
So Lu Weiwei quickly explained: "This person did not return from the passage, but appeared directly outside the bar. How did he do it? Or is there another passage here?"
"Isn't it possible?" Feeling a little confused, Kevin quickly stared at the screen and observed it carefully for a while.
After a moment, Kevin scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully: "You mean, that person didn't come out and just appeared outside the bar?"
Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei nodding in unison, Kevin asked again: "How did you know?"
"We investigated the surveillance outside and found that he appeared outside the bar around 10:10 pm. Let me ask you, where did he go out from?"
"We don't have a passage here?" Kevin was also confused.
At this time, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also looked at each other.
Gu Chen stood up directly and walked towards the passage in the picture.
And Lu Weiwei followed closely behind.
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the end of the passage.
At this moment, a general toilet is here.
The two walked into the toilet and found that the doors and windows of the toilet were blocked by barbed wire. In this case, people could not go from the toilet to the outside of the bar.
"How could this happen?" Seeing this scene, Gu Chen was also confused.
Kevin, who came later, was also standing behind Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei pointed to the window and asked, "Are all the windows here closed with this kind of barbed wire?"
"That's right." Kevin nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "The toilets are all closed and the windows can be pushed open, but there is a security wire fence outside."
"Then if it's in the toilet, how do people get out?" Lu Weiwei also looked confused.
This stopped Kevin and he couldn't help but look at the long toilet.
Gu Chen also followed Kevin's gaze and took the opportunity to observe the situation in the toilet.
It can be said that this kind of long public place is shared by men and women and has independent single rooms.
There are about 20 pits, but there are only two vents, and they are all equipped with anti-theft wire mesh.
But Gu Chen clearly saw from the surveillance footage given by He Junchao that Hu Zhe appeared outside Binjiang Road around 10:10 the night before yesterday.
Vujicic entered the bar and walked directly to the toilet.
There is no other passage here. If you want to leave, you must walk back to the lobby and then leave through the two exits in the lobby.
But judging from the surveillance footage, Hu Zhe never left.
At this moment, Kevin also felt confused and couldn't help complaining:
"What the hell? How did this guy do it? He obviously didn't come out of the passage, but how did he disappear into the toilet and then appear outside?"
"I have to ask you this? Aren't you the duty manager here? You should know the structure here best." Lu Weiwei also found it funny. This kind of question should not be asked to herself in the first place.
But at this moment, Gu Chen turned his gaze to the top of his head.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei also followed Gu Chen's gaze and looked at the ceiling.
Gu Chen quickly lowered his head to look at Kevin and asked, "Do your vents here exhaust air directly to the outside? Are they hollow?"
"I don't know." Kevin shook his head, feeling a little confused now.
Gu Chen couldn't care too much, so he climbed up to a toilet cubicle, used the handle, stepped on it, and then browsed to the top of the cubicle.
When I pushed it gently with my hand, the partition suddenly made a crunching sound.
Soon, the ceiling became loose.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate and directly pushed the ceiling to the top, and a hollow space appeared directly above him.
Gu Chen then used the support of the handle to easily climb up to the ceiling.
At this time, Gu Chen's upper body had already entered the interior of the ceiling. Due to the darkness inside, Gu Chen could only take out his mobile phone and turn on the mobile phone's lighting, illuminating the space above.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I found a lot of crawling traces in one of the locations.
Gu Chen frowned and continued to shine the flashlight along the traces.
It was found that the exhaust vent leads directly to the outside of the toilet.
That is to say, the air outlet is set directly above the window, which happens to lead to the outside.
Gu Chen didn't think much and climbed up with the support of his arms.
Then follow the traces and crawl until you reach the vent.
At this moment, Gu Chen discovered that there were some garbage cardboard boxes piled up outside the place.
If people jump down here, they won't be hurt.
"Did Hu Zhe crawl out from here? But why did he do this?" Gu Chen frowned, confused.
But to verify my guess.
Gu Chen first used his mobile phone to take pictures of all this, and then climbed directly over the vent and jumped outside.
Not long after, Gu Chen's cell phone rang, and the caller was Lu Weiwei.
Gu Chen directly opened the answer button: "Senior Sister Lu."
"Junior Brother Gu, where are you now?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"I'm outside. I already know how Hu Zhe got out. There is an air outlet here. Hu Zhe used this air outlet to climb outside the bar."
"Is there such a thing? It feels a bit incredible."
But Lu Weiwei didn't think much and asked directly: "Then are you still outside now?"
"That's right." Gu Chen said.
"Then I'll come over now. You stay there and don't leave." After her voice fell, Lu Weiwei hung up the phone directly.
Not long after, Gu Chen, who was standing there, saw Lu Weiwei and Kevin.
Kevin followed Lu Weiwei and staggered all the way over.
Seeing Gu Chen standing outside, Kevin was also surprised: "This, this, this? What's going on? Can you really crawl outside from the vent? This...isn't this too crazy?"
