Officer Wang's words suddenly made the scene quiet, and the atmosphere developed in an awkward direction.
Officer Wang's eyes were dull and he continued to ask: "What...what's wrong? Can you give me some reaction?"
"I think... only you, Lao Wang, can think of this possibility. Although there is a theoretical possibility, what weird behavior did he do? He had to crawl into the ventilation duct."
Lu Weiwei folded her arms and leaned on the seat, thinking thoughtfully:
"I just feel like, is it too deliberate?"
"I also think that Hu Zhe must have other secrets hidden in him." Yuan Shasha felt that this kind of behavior was confusing.
At least normal people would not do this. Even if the spirit is severely damaged, this kind of behavior is still considered difficult.
It is difficult to understand Hu Zhe's behavior.
Then Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen again and asked hurriedly: "Gu Chen, what do you think?"
"My opinion is..."
Gu Chen lay back on the seat and did not express his thoughts immediately.
Officer Wang was a little impatient and continued to ask: "Do you also think that this Vujicic has a psychological problem?"
"Yes." Gu Chen did not refute this time, but responded directly:
"I think that Vujicic has psychological problems, but the root cause of his changes in psychological problems may not have much to do with the East Lake Music Festival, but is caused by other factors."
"Other factors?" Everyone looked confused when they heard Gu Chen's words.
Yuan Shasha hurriedly said: "Is it because of emotional problems? I don't think I have heard Zhang Ying talk about the personal emotional problems of their band before."
"You know, playing in a metal band costs a lot of money, and you need the support of your family and friends, especially your significant other."
"If you only care about your own ideals and ignore the feelings of the other half, maybe this band will not last long."
"But..."
Finally, Yuan Shasha began to hesitate.
Officer Wang couldn't bear his temper and quickly asked: "But what? Xiao Yuan, please continue talking."
"Yeah." Yuan Shasha nodded silently, and then added: "I feel that Hu Zhe used the money he earned from setting up a barbecue stall to subsidize the band's expenses."
"He even mortgaged the wedding house that his parents prepared for him. If his partner knew about this situation, I don't know what the consequences would be."
"What other consequences could there be? Just break up. Women nowadays are very realistic. If your boyfriend insists on having his own way, it will definitely not last long, unless...unless his other half, Vujicic, also likes music.
Except in this case."
Officer Wang also expressed his thoughts based on his own guesses.
Yuan Shasha nodded silently and echoed: "This is the situation, so now that Hu Zhe is in this situation, he is even a little bit crazy."
"Nurse Zhang Ying is sober. She knows very well that this metal band carries the dreams of each of them, but at the same time it is a huge burden."
"If they continue to tour like this, if nothing else, their respective jobs will be seriously affected, and they won't make any money."
"This kind of life supported by ideals is actually very difficult to last, so I think the disbandment request made by Zhang Ying and other band members is reasonable and reasonable."
"But now, Vujicic is the only one who strongly opposes all this. I think this has a lot to do with Vujicic's own experience."
Looking up in the direction of Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha also suggested: "So Brother Gu, I suggest that we start with the relationships between the people around Hu Zhe and get a deeper understanding of what is going on with Hu Zhe?"
"If his behavior has nothing to do with the performance at the East Lake Music Festival, it must be caused by some of his own previous factors."
"I think it might be the best way to ask Zhang Ying about the situation."
"Well, that's what I meant." After listening to Yuan Shasha's analysis, Gu Chen just thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and dialed Zhang Ying's phone number that he had left before.
Not long after, Zhang Ying's cell phone was called.
"Hello? Who's there?" Zhang Ying seemed to be still sleeping, and she was listless when she spoke.
"I'm Gu Chen, are you off today?" Gu Chen also got straight to the point.
When nurse Zhang Ying heard it was Gu Chen's voice, she immediately cheered up: "It turns out to be Director Gu. Yes, I have a day off today, so I'm at home. What's wrong? Is there any news from Hu Zhe?"
"Not yet." Faced with Zhang Ying's curiosity, Gu Chen said bluntly:
"I'm looking for you because I want to know more about Hu Zhe's situation."
"What's going on with Vujicic? You mean..."
Zhang Ying didn't seem to understand what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen didn't try to hide anything from her, and said straight to the point: "Let me tell you this, we have investigated everyone who had anything to do with Hu Zhe when he lost contact."
"It was found that all these people were normal and had no direct relationship with Vujicic's loss of contact."
"But at the same time, we also discovered that Hu Zhe had many strange behaviors before he disappeared. It was difficult for us to understand. We thought it was something that happened to Hu Zhe before that led to this situation, so..."
"So, what was the situation before he disappeared?" Listening to Gu Chen's story, Zhang Ying also looked nervous.
Gu Chen also continued to reply: "The last time we found Hu Zhe, he came to a bar around 10 o'clock in the evening."
"But the strange thing is that he entered the bar to inquire about the beggar, but in the end he did not go out through the bar door. Instead, he came to the bar toilet and climbed directly outside through the ventilation duct above the toilet."
"What did you say? You said that Hu Zicic climbed from the ventilation duct of the toilet to the outside of the bar? How could he do such a thing?"
It seems that she doesn't believe that Hu Zhe would do such a weird behavior, so Zhang Ying also feels incredible.
After a brief pause for a few seconds, Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone asked again:
"What happened next? Where did he go after he came out of the bar?"
"Went to the riverside." Gu Chen said calmly.
"Riverside? What was he going to the riverside for?" Zhang Ying was completely confused at this moment and felt a little incomprehensible.
But Gu Chen said calmly: "According to witnesses that night, he walked into the river, then swam towards the Jiangnan Bank building on the other side. After that, he just disappeared into the river."
"However, we have dispatched water search and rescue forces and are fully searching for traces of Vujicic. There is currently no report on him."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned by the situation and didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Chen also saw no response from the other end of the phone for a long time, so he continued to remind: "Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying, are you listening?"
"I...I'm here." Zhang Ying, who seemed to have been confused just now, regained consciousness, also asked Gu Chen in a heavy tone:
"Director Gu, this...I have known Hu Zhe for so many years, and I have never seen him behave in such a weird way. What is going on?"
"Don't say you don't know, we don't know either. After all, compared to us, as a member of the metal band, you should be the most familiar with Vujicic, and you should understand his situation."
Gu Chen originally wanted to learn more about Hu Zhe from Zhang Ying.
But from Zhang Ying's tone, it seemed that she was not mentally prepared for Hu Zhe's strange behavior.
Seeing the other end of the phone, there was dead silence again. Gu Chen continued to remind: "Zhang Ying, are you listening?"
"Yes, yes." Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and then said:
"Gu Ju, I really don't know why this Hu Zhe is like this? He doesn't seem to be like this before."
"That's Zhang Ying." Since Gu Chen turned on the speakerphone, the conversation between Gu Chen and Zhang Ying just now was clearly heard by Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha in the car.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei directly interjected: "We feel that the reason why Vujicic behaved in such a strange way may have something to do with some factors in himself."
"For example, the people or things he has come into contact with before."
"Oh, is it Officer Lu?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's voice on the phone, Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone quickly said hello, and then said:
"So Officer Lu, what do you want to know about me?"
"As for the people and things around Hu Zhe, we just want to know what is the situation at Hu Zhe's family?" Lu Weiwei said.
"His home?" After thinking for a while, Zhang Ying on the phone said slowly: "His family owns a fruit shop and does fruit retail business."
"Generally speaking, he is considered to be relatively well-off. He is the only son in the family, so his conditions are not bad."
"Then how do his parents treat him?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Very good." Zhang Ying paused and continued to explain:
"I remember that his parents were very good to him. They basically gave him whatever he asked for since he was a child. Until now, they are very supportive of him in everything he does."
"In order to reduce Hu Zhe's burden, his parents even bought him a wedding house early."
"But he seems to be getting more and more impatient with his insistence on playing in a metal band."
"Impatient? What do you mean?" When Yuan Shasha heard this, she couldn't help but ask another question.
Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone also patiently explained: "I just found out that Hu Zhe spent too much effort on this band, but did not get corresponding returns, and I became more and more worried about their son."
"His parents know about Hu Zicic's musical talent, especially the strength of our band. We won various awards when we were in school."
"But later, because there was no sponsorship for the commercial competition, he repeatedly hit the wall. As a result, Hu Zhe is now a little depressed and his temper is getting worse and worse."
"All in all, his parents generally support their son playing music. They are just worried when they see Vujicic would rather set up a barbecue stall outside to make money than give up for the metal band."
"So that's it?" After hearing this reply, Officer Wang roughly understood the relationship between Hu Zhe and his family, and he also talked eloquently:
"According to what you said, Hu Zhe actually doesn't have much estrangement from his parents at home, and his parents don't put too much pressure on Hu Zhe."
"Yes, that's what I mean." After listening to Officer Wang's words, Zhang Ying quickly replied.
"Hmm." Officer Wang said "Hmm" and then said:
"Then if there are no family factors, the reason why Vujicic behaves strangely must be related to other people and things."
"We want to know now, does Vujicic have a girlfriend?"
"ah?"
After hearing what Officer Wang said, Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone seemed a little unresponsive.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Could it be that Hu Zhe's girlfriend is a member of your band?"
"No." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Zhang Ying directly denied it: "Vujicic did have a girlfriend before, and they knew each other in high school."
"High school classmate?" Gu Chen said.
"Yes, I am a high school classmate." After a brief pause for a few seconds, Zhang Ying also said in retrospect:
"I remember that Hu Zicic and his girlfriend seemed to have been roommates since high school. Later, during the college entrance examination, his girlfriend did well and went to a good university."
"Vujicic's grades were poor, but he is a music student, so he can go to a good university."
"But because my girlfriend and I went to different schools, we were always in different places during college."
"In other words, Hu Zhe and his girlfriend are in a long-distance relationship?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Yes, long-distance relationship." Zhang Ying also made no secret and said truthfully:
"Although we band members all come from different universities, since we are band members, we all know each other well."
"Vujicic often talks to us about his girlfriend, so we know something about it."
"This is very important." Listening to nurse Zhang Ying's narration, Gu Chen quickly reminded:
"Maybe Vujicic's loss of contact and those weird behaviors may have something to do with his girlfriend. You'd better explain these relevant details to me in detail."
Hearing Gu Chen suddenly become extremely serious, Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized and replied quickly:
"I also heard that when he was a freshman, he used to take the high-speed rail to go to his girlfriend's place in other places. At that time, he went very frequently, and he would go whenever it was a holiday."
"During my sophomore year, because of my improvement in music, Vujicic often needed to participate in various competitions if he wanted to make a difference in the music field."
"So during his sophomore year, he spent very little time visiting his girlfriend. Most of the time, he participated in competitions on major campuses and got good rankings."
"Moreover, most of the members of our band only met when they participated in various music competitions on campus during their sophomore year."
"We only formed a band together in the second semester of our sophomore year."
"But you also know that we are not from the same school. The time when we usually get together to rehearse is basically weekends."
"In order to become famous before graduation, we need to constantly participate in competitions and accept commercial performances, just to lay a solid foundation after graduation."
After a pause, Zhang Ying on the other end of the phone tried to calm down, and then sighed and said: "Although the actual situation is much easier than we imagined."
"In the past few years in college, our metal band has basically come out on top in music competitions we have participated in. We have become very popular in campus circles."
"So because of this situation, Hu Zhe and his long-distance girlfriend spent less time together and more separation, and their relationship gradually faded, right?" Officer Wang is someone who has been there. When he heard about this situation, he felt that something would go wrong.
After all, it is difficult for long-distance relationships to withstand the test of time.
Coupled with the fact that Vujicic's metal band here is going smoothly, Vujicic will definitely shift his focus to music, perhaps because he ignores his girlfriend.
Zhang Ying, who was on the other end of the phone, responded affirmatively: "Yes, because of the Metal Band's performance competition and the heavy academic work, our time is simply not enough."
"Every weekend, I see other people going on dates in pairs, but we, the members of the metal band, have to get together and rehearse."
"To be honest, it was very painful. Sometimes I almost couldn't bear it and wanted to quit. Moreover, one after another, some members chose to quit, and some new members chose to join."
"And Vujicic is the backbone of our metal band. He is almost obsessed with music."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen heard sighs on the other end of the phone.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhang Ying was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "There are some things that I don't know whether I should say?"
"Tell me, we just want more detailed information." Lu Weiwei also urged.
"Okay." She felt a little unable to say it, but because this was the reference content that the police needed, Zhang Ying still chose to tell the situation:
"I know it seems a bit immoral to say something bad about Vujicic when he lost contact."
"However, if these circumstances can help the police find him, I am willing to tell them."
"What's going on?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Shasha felt that Zhang Ying seemed to be hiding something from everyone before.
After Zhang Ying calmed down for a short time, she sighed and said:
"Actually, Vujicic has a lot of vanity, and he is also a very conceited person."
"He and his girlfriend were very affectionate when they were in high school. Almost everyone in the high school knew about it."
"Then I went to college. When I was a freshman, I had a very close relationship with my girlfriend. The two of them called me almost every night."
"But as Hu Zhe's musical level became higher and higher, he quickly became famous among major universities."
"And we formed the band when we were sophomores, which was considered a sensation at the time."
"After all, not everyone can play in this kind of metal band, and even excellent musicians may not be able to form their own band."
"But we were only sophomores in college at the time, and we had already formed our own metal band, and won awards in various music competitions in major universities."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ying said helplessly: "So, from that time on, our entire band began to become a little swollen and a little floaty."
"Of course, that included me, but I soon realized that this was not going to work, but the strength of our band at that time was hard to find a rival among these universities."
"Moreover, I often use my weekends to participate in some business performances."
"You can also make money by playing in a band. For a time, our band became famous, and even every member of our band became a famous figure in their respective schools."
"It was at that time that Vujicic began to become a little inflated, and many women threw themselves at him."
"And he also wants to be famous and want to accumulate more connections before graduation, so after commercial performances, he often goes to clubs with the bosses of the organizers to eat and drink."
"It was from that time on that we discovered that he became a little arrogant and often arrived late and left early even for rehearsals."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ying seemed helpless.
Gu Chen also quickly asked: "So, you think he changed, what happened next? Your band..."
"Our band is still as popular as ever. Of course, as the saying goes, the wave behind the Yangtze River pushes the wave ahead. Because of our success, many freshmen in the school have begun to form their own bands, hoping to replicate our success."
"As everyone knows, these bands are not popular, but after we graduated, they took away many of our business deals. Of course, these are all things for another time."
"What I can't stand the most is Vujicic's half-hearted and casual attitude."
"During rehearsals, he would often sit on his feet and answer the phone. From the way he answered the phone, he didn't sound like he was talking to his girlfriend, but to some strange woman."
"But this has nothing to do with us. Everyone sees through it but doesn't tell it. Some of the male members of the band are even a little envious of this guy Vujicic."
"But as a female band member, I know that Vujicic is stepping on a different boat. I know that he is doing this and I feel sorry for his girlfriend."
"So, I will take the initiative to find Hu Zhe and ask him to sort out his emotional affairs clearly and not to affect our entire band because of his personal problems."
Zhang Ying sighed a few times, probably recalling some unhappy things in the past, and Zhang Ying suddenly couldn't speak anymore.
When Gu Chen saw this, he quickly asked: "Zhang Ying, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just feel that that period was the closest our band came to disbanding."
"As a girl, I sympathize very much with Vujicic's girlfriend. I feel that if he continues to be such a scumbag, the one who will suffer in the end may be our entire band."
"For this reason, I expressed my dissatisfaction to him. I was dissatisfied with his casual attitude during rehearsals."
"Because of his looseness, we even had performance accidents in several commercial performances, and we also missed the championship in a campus music competition that we were bound to win."
"These unstable factors all came from Hu Zicic. Until one day, we were going to participate in a commercial performance, but when we gathered at the commercial performance, we found that we could no longer contact Hu Zicic anyway."
"Can't contact Hu Zhe? Then where did Hu Zhe go?" After hearing such outrageous remarks, Lu Weiwei also felt that the situation seemed to have become complicated.
But Zhang Ying said helplessly: "None of us knew it at the time, because we all come from different universities and usually communicate in the band group."
"There are fixed places for rehearsals, and performances are planned in advance and gathered at the destination."
"But that day, none of the members of our band could find Vujicic. No matter how we called, no one answered the phone."
"Fortunately, I temporarily found a senior who studied music and asked him to come over temporarily to help and replace Hu Zhe's position, so I managed to survive the difficulty."
"Isn't this too much?" When Yuan Shasha heard this situation, she couldn't hide her dissatisfaction:
"With such a lazy attitude and a negative attitude, he doesn't even care about the band's performance. Does Vujicic take himself too seriously?"
"Haha, isn't it?" Faced with Yuan Shasha's complaints, Zhang Ying also laughed twice and continued:
"That's when I started to lose confidence in Vujicic, and I felt that he was becoming less and less like the Vujicic before."
"Previously, Vujicic was obsessed with music and full of expectations for the band's future."
"At that time, our band had just been formed and was still unknown. We needed to work hard to compete in performances in order to gain enough exposure."
"But as the band became more and more famous, we earned more and more performance fees, and while Vujicic also gained many female fans, he began to drift away, as if he had changed into a different person."
"So after the band ended their commercial performance, we treated the senior who helped us to a meal. After that, I didn't go back to school. Instead, I went to Hu Zhe's school and went downstairs to his dormitory. I waited until
It’s dark.”
"You are so kind to him." Hearing Zhang Ying's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh, but she quickly asked:
"Then are you waiting for Vujicic?"
"I didn't wait." Zhang Ying sighed and said slowly:
"I have been waiting for him downstairs in Hu Zhe's dormitory for a long time, but I found no trace of Hu Zhe."
"I still can't get through on the phone, and I don't know what happened to him? In addition, Vujicic let go of our band, and I couldn't get angry, so I yelled Vujicic's name downstairs from Vujicic's dormitory."
"Haha, you are fierce enough." After hearing Zhang Ying make such a crazy move, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that Zhang Ying had true feelings for Hu Zhe.
However, Lu Weiwei saw through these things but did not tell them, so she continued to ask in a tactful tone:
"Then what happened next? What happened next?"
"Later?" Zhang Ying paused for a few seconds, then recovered from the confusion and said quickly:
"Later, one of Hu Zicic's roommates happened to come from outside and was about to go back to the dormitory. When he saw me shouting Hu Zicic's name there, he quickly told me that Hu Zicic was no longer in the dormitory the night before."
"Moreover, they can't be contacted, it's like they have disappeared."
"Missing? Isn't that exactly the same as the current situation?" Officer Wang is now particularly sensitive to the word "missing", so he said it casually.
Zhang Ying on the phone also smiled lightly and said helplessly: "Yeah, at that time, I didn't know where this guy Hu Zhe had gone?"
"I always feel that something must have happened to Vujicic, because no matter how sloppy his training is or how uncorrect his attitude is, he will not let go of our entire band."
"The future of the band is also Vujicic's future. His vanity is so strong that he will not do anything to ruin the band."
"He also hopes that after graduation, he will use the band's current reputation to continue to explore a larger market."
With a faint sigh, Zhang Ying also choked and said: "At that time, we could even see that the future of the band would be bright."
"So all of us don't believe that Vujicic has just disappeared."
"So that night, feeling disappointed, I walked out of Vujicic's school, walked to the bus stop, and took the last bus back to our school."
"Zhang Ying." Hearing this, Gu Chen also hesitated and said: "Could it be that you really didn't see Hu Zhe that night? You don't know where Hu Zhe went, right?"
"No." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Zhang Ying denied it flatly:
"Actually, I was very conflicted. When I took the last bus back to our school that night, I felt extremely disappointed."
"I found a familiar figure sitting there on the lawn below our dormitory, seemingly waiting for someone."
"I was holding my breath that day, and I didn't want to go back to the dormitory so quickly, so I just walked around downstairs in the dormitory."
"The person I found sitting on the lawn seems to be the missing Vujicic."
"Isn't it really Vujicic?" Yuan Shasha asked curiously.
"Yes." Zhang Ying's answer on the phone was also affirmative: "That person is Hu Zhe."
As soon as the words fell, the car where Gu Chen was sitting suddenly fell into silence.
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to feel that the relationship between these people seemed too complicated.
Originally, Zhang Ying went to Hu Zhe's school to look for him with dissatisfaction, but she returned with disappointment, and found the missing Hu Zhe downstairs in the dormitory of her school.
Gu Chen was a little confused and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"Haha, what's going on? I was thinking the same thing at the time." Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, Zhang Ying sighed and said helplessly:
"When I saw Vujicic, he also looked up and saw me, and the two of us just looked at each other."
"I seemed to see some loss in his eyes. I walked towards him slowly and asked him, where did he go today?"
"He told me, could I go for a walk with him?"
"I said, are you worried? Or, what happened to you?"
"He didn't say anything, he just told me if I could go for a walk with him?"
After a pause, Zhang Ying adjusted her emotions and continued to choke with sobs:
"I was almost confused by Vujicic at the time, thinking that he would never be so lost, so I agreed, so I took him for a walk on the basketball court on our campus."
"We came to the small park next to the basketball court, and I asked him, what's going on? Why do we have to play Lost Connection?"
"Because of this incident, our entire band was in danger of disbanding, and everyone was quite dissatisfied with Vujicic."
"But Vujicic's next words almost made me stand still. Did I feel that I heard wrong?"
