In the office in the castle, listening to Gu Chen's explanation, the second shareholder probably understood Gu Chen's purpose, and he repeated:
"In other words, the news that Sister Jin is coming to our East Lake camp to participate in the music festival was revealed by the mysterious man?"
"And the person you are looking for is also a band player. He wanted to get the opportunity to perform this time, so he followed the man's suggestion and went to find a guy called a 'beggar'. Is that right?"
"Yes." Lu Weiwei nodded fiercely and said involuntarily:
"The current situation is that we cannot find the missing person for the time being."
"But the source of all this is because the man told the news about Sister Jin."
"So, we also want to verify it and see if this news is true?"
"It's true." The second shareholder frowned, turned to look at the other people, and said:
"But I just don't know who leaked the news that Sister Jin is coming?"
Seeing the second shareholder looking at her, the middle-aged woman with short hair quickly waved her hands and denied it: "Boss, you know that I am tight-lipped. I didn't even tell my husband about this kind of thing, so how could I tell other people?
"
Seeing what the middle-aged woman with short hair said, the two shareholders turned their attention to their younger brother.
When another fat man saw this, he quickly waved his hands and denied: "Brother, I can't talk nonsense about this."
"I know that Ali is tight-lipped, but it's hard to say whether you will leak it or not." It was obvious that the second shareholder did not seem to trust his younger brother.
When the middle-aged fat man saw this, he complained repeatedly: "Brother, we are brothers, can't you even trust me?"
"Besides, you are familiar with Sister Jin and people in Sister Jin's music circle, and I am not interested in this."
"Whether she comes or not has nothing to do with me. I'm such a good person, why should I tell others this?"
"Could it be that you accidentally leaked it? And someone happened to hear it?" Gu Chen also gave this possibility.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and after a brief hesitation for a few seconds, he slowly said:
"If that's the case, then maybe it's still possible."
Looking up at his brother, the middle-aged fat man also recalled: "I remember a few days ago, I went to a bar to drink with some friends, and I was very drunk at the time."
"I'm not sure, did you say something to those guys at that time?"
"But one thing can be confirmed, those guys are not interested in music at all."
"They go to the bar purely to find girls for fun. It's unlikely that they are tone-deaf guys."
"Then it's possible that when you were drinking in the bar, you talked about Sister Jin, and someone happened to hear you? And that person happened to remember all this in his heart. Is this possible?"
Lu Weiwei heard this and gave new possibilities.
But at this time, the middle-aged man was obviously confused. He scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully: "But... why don't I have any impression at all?"
"Are you a pig? Will you die if you drink less alcohol?" I feel like my younger brother is particularly unreliable.
The second shareholder suddenly frowned and sighed: "If it is heard by someone who knows music, then it is very likely that this matter will be spread by them."
"Sister Jin's status in the music industry is also well-known. Anyone who is experienced in music will know about Sister Jin."
Sighing softly, the second shareholder also shook his head helplessly: "I originally thought that Sister Jin would come over quietly and stay here for a few days to relax and not be disturbed by others."
"But you talkative guys actually leaked these things and even attracted comrades from the police."
Looking at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, the second shareholder also looked apologetic and said quickly:
"Comrade police, my brother may have been drinking and got into trouble, but the person you are looking for has nothing to do with us."
"Yes." Seeing his brother speaking, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him, the middle-aged man quickly said:
"Even if I was drunk and chatting about this matter with my friends, and some people who knew music heard it, it was their business and I didn't tell them."
"As for who they want to tell? That is their freedom. As for the missing person you mentioned, it has nothing to do with us."
"It has nothing to do with you." Feeling that these people were giving a false alarm, Gu Chen continued to explain:
"We just want to confirm whether Sister Jin is here. If it is, it proves that the situation we investigated before is true."
After a pause, Gu Chen looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him, and then asked:
"By the way, do you remember when you went to the bar to drink?"
"This..." It seemed that he was thinking again. The middle-aged man was scratching his head and thinking. After a long time, he said slowly:
"It must have been several days, maybe five or six days, I can't remember exactly."
Seeing that the time matched what he heard the mysterious man say that night, Gu Chen asked again:
"Then which bar did you drink at?"
"Which bar? It's on Binjiang Road, on the bar street. Which bar is it specifically? Oops, the names of this bar are all weird, I really can't remember it clearly."
Seeing what the middle-aged man said, Lu Weiwei immediately took out her cell phone, showed him the photo of the door of the bar where everyone was looking for Hu Zhe, and asked:
"Is it this bar?"
"Eh? It seems to be this one." Not sure, the middle-aged man came closer, then waved his hand and said:
"Yes, yes, this is the place where I drank that day."
"You won't admit your mistake, right?" Afraid that the middle-aged man might admit he was in the wrong bar, Lu Weiwei confirmed it with him again.
The middle-aged man still nodded: "Yes, it's this one. I remember all aspects of the decoration. Yes, there is this kind of decoration at the door, with flashing patterns. It can't be wrong..."
It was only after repeated confirmations with the middle-aged man that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei realized that the bar where the middle-aged man went that night was the same bar where Hu Zhe escaped through the toilet ventilation duct.
Thinking about this bar, there may be something wrong.
The news that I heard from a middle-aged man about Sister Jin coming to East Lake Camp to attend the music festival must have been leaked inside the bar.
So after Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei recorded some details, they drove out of the camp and drove directly towards Furong Branch.
…
…
When we returned to Furong Branch, it was already past midnight.
At this moment, He Junchao was lying on the folding bed, sleeping leisurely.
I had just dreamed that I was dating a beautiful girl, and my relationship was progressing rapidly. When I was about to successfully hit the target, I suddenly felt a muffled sound, which made the picture in front of He Junchao blurry.
"What's wrong?" the beauty in front of him asked him coquettishly.
He Junchao was stunned: "I don't know what's going on?"
"Snapped!"
There was another muffled sound, and the beauty in front of He Junchao had long since disappeared.
But when He Junchao opened his eyes, he found a bright light, and at this moment, Lu Weiwei was standing in front of him, looking at him like a fool.
"Lu Weiwei?" He Junchao's eyes were blank, and he quickly sat up, subconsciously trying to look left and right.
"What are you looking for?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"No, is this... a dream?" He Junchao reacted and felt that it was just a beautiful dream. He suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and his whole body was listless.
"What are you dreaming about? The look on your face just now was so wretched." Lu Weiwei looked at He Junchao sitting on the folding bed in confusion, and said with a look of disgust.
"Stop talking." He Junchao sighed and complained to himself:
"I told you why on this blind date, the girl I met was so suitable. I feel like I want to get married right away. But it's your fault, Lu Weiwei, for being so good and waking me up from this sweet dream. Alas!"
At the end of the speech, He Junchao also sighed, feeling that his dream was shattered.
But when he turned around, he found that there was a burning feeling on his face. He Junchao seemed to realize something? He quickly covered his face to feel it.
After a moment, He Junchao looked at Lu Weiwei with an angry expression: "Lu Weiwei, was it you who slapped me in the face just now?"
"That's right." Lu Weiwei didn't mean to hide anything, and admitted generously:
"Look at you sleeping so hard that you can't wake up no matter how you scream. If I don't give you a slap on the ear, how can you wake up?"
"Lu Weiwei, I will fight with you!" He Junchao finally found the culprit and felt that this was even more hateful than ruining his own blind date.
Seeing Lu Weiwei quickly hide next to Gu Chen, He Junchao also came to his work station.
"Senior Brother He, stop making trouble." Gu Chen was sitting on He Junchao's seat, looking at the information compiled by He Junchao.
"But she, Lu Weiwei, ruined my dream!" Standing next to Gu Chen, He Junchao stretched out his hand to grab Lu Weiwei.
But Lu Weiwei moved flexibly and confronted He Junchao across the desk: "I'm just waking you up, okay?"
"But you still slapped me in the face!" He Junchao refused to let go. He turned around and went around the desk to catch Lu Weiwei who ruined his dream.
Lu Weiwei continued to move flexibly, came to Gu Chen's side again, and continued to confront He Junchao across the desk:
"I saw that your expression was really vulgar, so I couldn't help but give you this slap. Who knew you were so mean while sleeping?"
"You, you, you, are you using strong words to explain me?" It felt like it was unbearable, and He Junchao still wanted to continue to capture Lu Weiwei.
But Lu Weiwei turned around and ran away, and accidentally felt that she stepped on something soft on her foot.
Before Lu Weiwei could react, Officer Wang sat up like a corpse.
Along with Officer Wang sitting up, there was also the painful wailing: "Oh, let me go, who is stepping on my hand?"
"Ah? Lao Wang? Why are you here?" Lu Weiwei looked confused and looked around. Only then did she realize that Officer Wang was also sleeping in the corner, and his right hand happened to be on the ground.
Being stepped on by me was so painful that I sat up in my sleep.
"Why am I here? Am I not on night shift?" Officer Wang held his red and swollen right hand and couldn't help complaining.
The sound of complaints also woke up Yuan Shasha in another location.
Yuan Shasha rubbed her eyes and then realized that everyone was there. She stood up listlessly and said: "Senior Sister Lu? Senior Brother Gu? I didn't expect you to come to work the night shift during your vacation?"
"Isn't this an emergency? Oops!" Just as Lu Weiwei was explaining, He Junchao slapped Lu Weiwei on the head.
Lu Weiwei shrank her neck and said angrily: "He Junchao, that's too much. No wonder you can't find a wife and don't know how to show mercy."
"How many slaps do you give me, and I still want to show mercy to you? I'm sorry, we don't do this kind of business, now we're all settled."
Feeling that he was not at a loss, He Junchao put aside his obsession and returned to Gu Chen.
Lu Weiwei, on the other hand, muttered to He Junchao, but was stopped by Yuan Shasha on the side.
Officer Wang was also a good old man. He walked between the two of them and mediated: "Okay, stop arguing. The case in hand has not been solved yet. Arguing? That won't solve the problem, hiss..."
At the end of the sentence, Officer Wang felt a swelling and pain in his right finger again, and said angrily to Lu Weiwei:
"But I really want to beat you, Lu Weiwei, to see you step on my hand."
"Okay, everyone, please stop arguing and come over here. I will share with you the results of today's investigation by Senior Sister Lu and me."
Seeing that the whole office was suddenly noisy, Gu Chen turned around and asked everyone to come closer to him.
So everyone surrounded Gu Chen in the middle with a burst of thoughts.
Officer Wang also quickly asked: "Gu Chen, what did you investigate today?"
"That bar." Gu Chen looked up at Officer Wang and said, "It's the bar where Hu Zhe escaped from the toilet vent. We feel that there is something wrong with that bar."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Huh? What do you say?" Yuan Shasha was also very curious when she heard what Gu Chen said.
Gu Chen crossed his fingers and then said: "First of all, I don't need to say more about the circumstances of Hu Zhe's departure. I have already reported it to you before."
"He escaped through the toilet vent, and his behavior was too weird."
"So I think there may be people in the bar that he can't afford to offend, or in other words, people he doesn't want to see."
"But who is this person? At present, we don't know much yet."
After a pause, Gu Chen added: "The second thing is that Hu Zhe escaped from here, and the person who got the news that Sister Jin was coming to the East Lake Camp in Jiangnan City to participate in the music festival also appeared in this bar."
"Ah?" After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Yuan Shasha said "Ah" and said in disbelief:
"How do you start talking about this?"
"It's very simple." Seeing that Yuan Shasha was not clear about the specific situation, Lu Weiwei took the initiative to explain to everyone:
"Tonight, just now, Junior Brother Gu and I went to the East Lake Camp and talked to the person in charge there about Sister Jin coming over. Guess what?"
"What's going on?" Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and He Junchao asked together.
Lu Weiwei snapped her fingers and said involuntarily: "Only three people in the entire East Lake Camp know about this matter. A middle-aged woman should be the manager of their camp, and the other is the second shareholder of the East Lake Camp. This second shareholder
, I am familiar with many people in the music industry.”
"And this Sister Jin was invited by him, because Sister Jin happened to be recording a program in the provincial capital a few days before the opening of the East Lake Camp Music Festival, and the time happened to be coincidental."
"So the second shareholder invited her to the East Lake Camp for a few days, and Sister Jin was very happy."
"What about the third person who knows the situation?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but ask again.
"This is what I'm going to say next." Lu Weiwei didn't hide it, and told everyone straightforwardly:
"The third guy who knew the news was the younger brother of the second shareholder. He likes to drink. That is to say, the day before we went to Vujicic's barbecue stall for barbecue, he went to a bar to drink with some friends."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei added: "Oh, by the way, that bar is the same bar where Hu Zhe escaped."
"He told me that those friends didn't understand music at all, so the possibility of telling others was very low. However, there were more people in the bar who knew music."
"Anyone who talks about Sister Jin should know that she is a heavyweight musician."
"So I guess it was the younger brother of the second shareholder who accidentally talked about this with his friends when he was drunk in the bar, and someone happened to hear him passing by."
Leaning forward, Lu Weiwei also looked serious: "And that person may be the man who told Vujicic at the barbecue stall that night that Sister Jin was going to appear at the East Lake Camp Music Festival."
"In other words, that mysterious man also went to the bar where the second shareholder's brother went?" He Junchao said.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "That's what I mean. Now I am very sure that this mysterious man must have been to this bar."
"Furthermore, I feel that after entering the bar, why did Vujicic sneak to the toilet and escape through the ventilation duct of the toilet?"
"This is all too weird, and Junior Brother Gu and I both went to the bar to verify that Hu Zhe did go to inquire about the 'beggar' that day."
"But it is a pity that Vujicic did not find the 'beggar', and no one in the whole bar seemed to tell him who the 'beggar' was."
"Coincidentally, the mysterious man who told him the news about Sister Jin also went to this bar."
Waving her hands, Lu Weiwei added, "But why? The bar where the mysterious man went, and after Hu Zhe came here, he escaped from the toilet?"
"You say you have no connection with that mysterious man, do you believe it? Do you believe it? Do you believe it again?"
Lu Weiwei pointed at everyone in turn.
At this time, Yuan Shasha, Officer Wang and He Junchao all shook their heads.
Lu Weiwei stood up straight and said angrily: "So, I feel like there is something wrong with this bar, and there may be some secrets hidden in it."
"And this secret is only known to Vujicic, or perhaps others."
"Moreover, that mysterious man may also appear in this bar. We have heard about it from the brother of the second shareholder."
"He said that when he was a little drunk, a tall and thin man once came to talk to him."
"But he seemed to be a little drunk at the time. He didn't even remember what he said to the man at that time."
"But based on his vague memory, it seems that he may be somewhat similar to the mysterious man we met at the barbecue stall that day."
"Then we should continue going back to that bar, pull out the surveillance footage from that night, and check the specific situation." Officer Wang suggested.
Gu Chen also nodded silently: "I have this intention as well, so I plan to leave later and continue to return to the bar."
"But before that, I want to know if there is any progress in the connection between the group of people I asked Senior Brother He to investigate?"
When Gu Chen looked at He Junchao, He Junchao looked embarrassed and complained:
"Oh, this investigation is very complicated. I have already found three people who came out of the toilet and have criminal records, that's all."
"As for the other people, there are so many people in the lobby of this bar, and the surveillance is not easy to capture everyone's faces, so it is difficult for me to investigate, and this kind of work cannot be carried out at all."
"Well, I know that it is indeed difficult to investigate only by monitoring faces. Senior Brother He, the three people who came out of the toilet after Hu Zhe entered the toilet passage and have criminal records, Senior Brother He will follow up."
"I'm going to go to the bar now to pull out the surveillance footage from that night, hoping to find the mysterious man."
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then let me go with you. There are so many people in the bar, and it will be quite troublesome to investigate." After finishing his words, Officer Wang was about to go get himself.
of police equipment.
Lu Weiwei also said: "Xiao Yuan, go too, leave this place to He Junchao."
"Well, I'm going to get the equipment." Yuan Shasha heard this and immediately went to get her own single police equipment.
He Junchao sighed and complained helplessly: "It seems that in this huge office, I will be left alone to sit in charge after all, ouch!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt like someone had knocked me on the head.
Looking back, Lu Weiwei had already picked up the individual police equipment and walked out the door. She didn't forget to turn around and taunt He Junchao: "This brain-dead man will be given back to you."
"Lu Weiwei, be careful I steal all your snacks. I will do what I say." Feeling that he was being played by Lu Weiwei again, He Junchao felt that it was time to take revenge on Lu Weiwei's snacks.
However, the idea had just emerged when Yuan Shasha on the side smiled and reminded: "Senior Brother He, don't think about it. Just now, Senior Sister Lu has taken away the key to the drawer."
He Junchao: "..."
…
…
After leaving the office, everyone drove a police car with license plate number AE86 to the bar they had investigated previously.
Because of this kind of nightclub, people often have carnivals in the early hours of the morning. In many cases, it doesn’t stop until three or four in the morning.
So when Gu Chen's team arrived at the door of the bar, the nightlife here had just begun.
He didn't care too much. Since he had come here to investigate before, Gu Chen was quite familiar with the environment here, so he walked in directly with Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
Gu Chen took a casual look and saw that the manager on duty before seemed to be chatting with several women in sexy short skirts. Gu Chen walked over directly.
At this moment, the duty manager Kevin also saw Gu Chen and immediately waved his hand to signal the women to leave quickly. He straightened his shirt and walked forward with a smile on his face:
"Hey? Director Gu, you're here again? What? What else do you need my cooperation for?"
"I need all the surveillance from you within a week." Gu Chen said.
"Huh?" It felt surprising but not surprising. Kevin was stunned for a few seconds and then smiled and said:
"Oh, the last investigation was not thorough? No problem, you can check it as you like."
After the words fell, Kevin said directly to the bar next to him: "What about that? Get me a few bottles of water quickly, the most expensive kind."
"No need." Seeing Kevin wooing him again, Gu Chen waved his hand and walked directly to the computer where he had previously retrieved the monitoring.
After dismissing the bartender here, Gu Chen started to inquire on his own.
Soon, Gu Chen used his master-level memory to first find the day mentioned by the brother of the second shareholder, which was the night before he and everyone had barbecue at the barbecue stall.
Since he had met the brother of the second shareholder in person, Gu Chen quickly found that person accurately through the surveillance footage.
"That's him." Lu Weiwei, who was standing on Gu Chen's side, reminded him.
Gu Chen continued to click the play button.
Soon, the middle-aged man sat on a couch with several friends, and then ordered some drinks.
During this period, several people kept commenting on the beauties on the stage, and from time to time, some beauties from the wine agency came over to sell drinks.
It can be seen that this middle-aged man is quite generous. As long as the beautiful woman serving the wine can sit here and chat with them, he is still willing to buy it.
In this way, the middle-aged man bought some good wines from several wine girls.
But he drank it quickly.
Judging from the picture, several people seemed to be shaky, and their movements also showed that they were drunk.
At this moment, Gu Chen discovered that a familiar figure appeared next to the middle-aged man.
Originally he was just passing by, but when he heard the middle-aged man chatting with a few friends, he suddenly stopped and took a step back.
Then he pretended to lean aside and enjoy the performance on the stage.
But judging from the man's body and position, Gu Chen obviously turned his head to the middle-aged man's side, as if he was eavesdropping on something?
Because the other person was wearing a peaked cap, Gu Chen couldn't see the face of the person clearly.
But judging from his body shape, he does look somewhat similar to the mysterious man he met that night.
As the playback bar continued to advance, Gu Chen discovered that a waiter was passing by with several glasses of wine.
The man waved to the waiter, bought a glass of wine from the bar tray, and then walked up to the middle-aged man and started chatting with him.
"Look, we started chatting. That person deliberately approached the brother of the second shareholder." Lu Weiwei saw the clues and warned.
Officer Wang frowned: "Could this person be the guy we met at the barbecue stall that night?"
"Not sure, let's take another look." Yuan Shasha on the side was also unsure.
So a few people started studying it again.
But soon, Gu Chen discovered that the man seemed to be trying to get close to the younger brother of the second shareholder, and what was he repeatedly communicating with?
But after he got the answer he wanted, the man wearing a peaked cap stood up and left the booth.
Gu Chen did not rush to call other surveillance cameras, but continued to stare at the men.
As time passed by, a few people still sat there chatting until about early in the morning, when they walked out of the bar together and took a taxi home.
After Gu Chen watched all the surveillance, he rewinded to the scene when the man left.
Later, Gu Chen called up surveillance from another angle and continued to monitor the man.
The man left the bar at 11:20 p.m. and took a taxi.
Since the bar surveillance could only cover the entrance, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the taxi license plate number, and then sent it to He Junchao.
After completing the operation, Gu Chen made a call directly.
Not long after, He Junchao answered the phone: "Gu Chen, what's the matter?"
"Have you received the picture?" Gu Chen said.
"I seem to have received it, but I haven't had time to open it yet. What is it?" He Junchao asked on the phone.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! "It was the mysterious man who got into a taxi when he left the bar. I have sent you the time together with the picture. Please help me track the taxi.
Car, let’s see where it’s going?”
"Understood, wait a minute." After receiving the news, He Junchao did not hang up the phone, but looked up the picture that Gu Chen had just sent.
Soon, Gu Chen heard the sound of a keyboard coming from the other end of the phone. He Junchao seemed to be investigating the taxi based on the clues he provided.
Due to the loud noise in the bar, many people were answering the phone inside the bar and it was almost impossible to hear clearly.
But Gu Chen is different. Gu Chen has master-level observation skills and can eliminate these interferences.
Not long after, He Junchao's reply came again on the phone: "Gu Chen, I have found the guy you asked me to find. This guy went to an old community."
"That might be this person's residence. Which building is it specifically?" Gu Chen quickly asked.
He Junchao on the phone said helplessly: "I don't know about this. The taxi stopped at the entrance of that old community, and people entered through a small door in the old community."
"Oh, right." Before Gu Chen could ask, He Junchao quickly added:
"The name of the old community is Fude Community. Why don't you go over there and ask?"
"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother He." After receiving the answer, Gu Chen hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "How is it? Have you found it?"
"Fude Community is now." Gu Chen said.
When everyone saw this, they immediately prepared to change direction.
At this time, Kevin, the manager on duty, came to Gu Chen's side again.
Seeing that Gu Chen was about to leave, he stepped forward politely and said, "Gu Bureau, are you just leaving? Why don't you stay for a drink?"
"No, thank you for your cooperation." Gu Chen didn't talk too much nonsense to him, and after a hasty handshake with Kevin, he passed by Kevin.
Then several people passed by Kevin one after another, leaving Kevin stunned on the spot, feeling like a transparent person, standing there blankly.
…
…
I drove to the Fude community that He Junchao was investigating. This is an old community, and the houses are quite old.
After renovation, traces of time still remain.
The main door is an old iron gate with a small door for entry and exit.
Although there is a guard booth, which is built with a mobile sentry box, no one seems to be manning it.
There was only an old street light on at the door.
"Meow!" Just when Gu Chen was thinking about it and looking for someone to ask about the situation, a kitten that appeared from nowhere had already arrived at Gu Chen's feet.
