Hearing Zhang Ying next to him praising himself, Liu Jinwen seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He just waved his hand and said modestly:
"These are all in the past. I feel like I was fair and fair before, but it's easy for people to call me a pretty boy."
"You must know that I hate people calling me a pretty boy, so I would rather make myself decadent and slovenly so that I look more masculine."
"Pfft!" When Lu Weiwei heard what Liu Jinwen said, she almost burst out laughing, but luckily she restrained herself.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Yuan Shasha quickly interjected: "You call sloppiness and decadence manly? But, girls don't like boys who are too sloppy?"
"Why do you want girls to like you?" Faced with Yuan Shasha's remarks, Liu Jinwen's words immediately left Yuan Shasha speechless.
"Uh... because... because of what?" Feeling that she couldn't answer this, Yuan Shasha also looked in the direction of Officer Wang and Gu Chen.
Officer Wang chuckled and said, "Xiao Yuan, you may not understand that this band circle is different from that of ordinary people."
Pointing at Liu Jinwen, Officer Wang added: "Men with strong male hormones like Liu Jinwen are very popular among women in the industry."
"It's just that most people like the pretty boy, but the decadent uncle in the band is the niche, but the niche is the essence, isn't it?"
"Old Wang, why don't you praise me if you don't know how to praise me? Why do I feel so embarrassed?" Lu Weiwei couldn't stand listening anymore and said angrily:
"Perhaps, being unique is indeed the survival rule for band members."
"Yes." Liu Jinwen agreed very much with Lu Weiwei's explanation and said eloquently:
"In my heart, I don't like to be what most people like."
"I prefer to be niche. As long as a small number of people like my style and remember who I am, that's enough."
Looking at Zhang Ying beside him, Liu Jinwen continued: "For example, our band needs a role like me, which will make our band more impactful."
"Okay." Feeling that he still didn't quite understand the metal band scene, Officer Wang agreed with conviction.
Gu Chen smiled slightly and asked Liu Jinwen: "Do you like yourself now?"
This question caught Liu Jinwen on the spot. He didn't respond for a long time and even started to think about it.
Yuan Shasha curiously asked: "Liu Jinwen, Senior Brother Gu wants to ask you, do you like yourself now?"
"Harmful!" Liu Jinwen sighed, shook his head, and said involuntarily:
"Actually, many people say that I am cool like this, but no one has really asked me if I like myself now? You are the first one."
Looking up at Gu Chen, who was the same age as him, Liu Jinwen felt that this young deputy director of the branch understood him a little bit.
"You're not happy, right? These persistences of yours are just demonstrating your inner inferiority?" Gu Chen's sharp words shocked everyone present.
Officer Wang was stunned. He felt that Gu Chen had never been so sharp in his words. What happened today? So disrespectful to others?
When Zhang Ying next to Liu Jinwen heard this, she looked at Gu Chen with an ugly face, feeling that there seemed to be some aggression in Gu Chen's words.
But at this moment, Liu Jinwen smiled, and he smiled extremely happily.
This made everyone present look stupid again.
Zhang Ying also asked out of curiosity: "Liu Jinwen, are you okay?"
"It's okay, how could anything happen to me? Haha."
After a long time, Liu Jinwen finally recovered and waved his fingers at Gu Chen, saying involuntarily:
"Director Gu, I finally understand why you became the deputy director at such a young age. You can indeed see through people's minds."
"What?" After listening to what Liu Jinwen said, Zhang Ying looked at him in disbelief and asked:
"Liu Jinwen, don't you really have low self-esteem?"
Seeing Liu Jinwen nodding silently, Zhang Ying suddenly panicked and said, "Can't you? In my impression, you are a trendy man, and you have also worked as a model."
"People like you have priority in choosing a mate when you are in school, but you actually have low self-esteem?"
After pausing for a few seconds and looking Liu Jinwen up and down, Zhang Ying couldn't help but shake her head and said incomprehensibly:
"I really can't see it. Why can't I see your inner world?"
"How about other words, how awesome is Gu Ju?" Picking up the tea in front of him, Liu Jinwen also took a small sip, and then said:
"Gu Bureau and I just met for the first time, and we only chatted for a few words. Gu Bureau can see my inner world."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Jinwen couldn't help but sigh: "I really admire people like you."
"But why do you feel inferior? With your conditions, you shouldn't." Gu Chen also imitated Liu Jinwen's actions, picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip.
Liu Jinwen, on the other hand, was lying on the seat and said calmly: "Yes, my decadence, these sloppy, masculine-looking outfits are just a way for me to hide my inferiority complex.
.”
Taking a deep breath, Liu Jinwen added: "I am just like ordinary people. I used to be fair and fair, and I was indeed very popular with girls in school."
"From middle school to university, I received many love letters expressing my love. I thought I was extremely charming, but I never found a girl I liked."
"It wasn't until the military training in college that I first noticed that there was a particularly beautiful girl in the military training team."
After talking about this, Liu Jinwen seemed to be intoxicated by it.
Seeing this, Zhang Ying couldn't stand it and said, "What are you thinking about every day? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
"Harmful!" Faced with Zhang Ying's inquiry, Liu Jinwen just sighed and said helplessly:
"What's the use of telling you about the pain in my heart?"
"What happened next?" When Lu Weiwei heard this gossip, she immediately pricked up her ears and wanted to hear what happened.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, Liu Jinwen seemed to have completely relaxed, and he explained to everyone indifferently:
"Later, I found out that she glanced at me in the military training team. Her charming eyes are still unforgettable to me, so I observed her secretly."
"Finally, after the military training, I deliberately followed her to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, pretending to meet her by chance, and then struck up a conversation."
"I just found out that we are in the same college. She studied dance and I studied music."
"That's how we started to get to know each other. I knew she was single, so I thought I had a chance."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Jinwen also raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and couldn't help but sigh:
"But later, on the first Valentine's Day of my freshman year, I was originally planning to confess my love to her. I had bought flowers and gifts and was waiting to be delivered to him that day."
"So, you... have you met your opponent?" Hearing what Liu Jinwen said, Yuan Shasha guessed that there would be a problem.
At this moment, Liu Jinwen no longer hid it, but told everyone openly and frankly:
"Yes, I know that she goes to the classroom every night to study by herself. I also waited until that night to surprise her and send her gifts and flowers on the way when she returned to the dormitory."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Jinwen couldn't help but sigh: "It's fate, but Cheng Yaojin shows up halfway."
"A slovenly man with long hair and a beard appeared in front of her and gave her a bouquet of flowers of the same style as mine and a package of gifts. The two of them talked and laughed.
A small hotel outside the school.”
"Well……"
Hearing this, Officer Wang was also stunned on the spot, and couldn't help but sigh: "So...so, your inferiority complex is caused by that sloppy man?"
"Yeah." Liu Jinwen nodded and couldn't help but sigh:
"Although it is embarrassing to say this, it is the fact."
"I have never met that man, and I have a very good relationship with that girl. I also know that she has always been single."
"But I just don't understand how that sloppy man appeared? Does she just like this type of man?"
"The blow to me was fatal at that time, so from then on, I began to have deep doubts about my appearance. Over time, I began to stop trimming my edges and even grew a beard."
"Oh!" After listening to what Liu Jinwen said, Zhang Ying, who was sitting next to him, said with surprise:
"It turns out that you were in the band at the time and suddenly made a change because of this incident?"
"Yes." Liu Jinwen nodded.
"But I remember what you said at the time. You said it might be cool. The band needs a character like you to be unique. Is that what you said?"
"Haha, that's just a trick to deceive you." Faced with Zhang Ying's question, Liu Jinwen just smiled.
This moment made Zhang Ying a little uneasy, and she said angrily: "Liu Jinwen, Liu Jinwen, you are a pretty guy, but you would let yourself become so decadent for a woman."
"You have to know that after your style is established, even street photography self-media will no longer look for you to be a model."
"Wouldn't it be nice to stay in your comfort zone, be your pretty girl, and be your street model?"
After saying this, Zhang Ying also said "Alas" and couldn't help but sigh.
But Liu Jinwen grinned and said, "Zhang Ying, it's not too late for you to know now."
"Actually, I seem to be very cool and confident, but that's not the case."
"The reason why I grow my hair long and cover my eyes with it is to cover up my inferiority complex."
"After all, the woman I like most likes such a man, so I...I want to be such a man."
"Wait a minute." After hearing what Liu Jinwen said, Lu Weiwei also waved her hand and interrupted:
"Liu Jinwen, I really want to know now, what happened next? What happened to the girl you liked in the end? Have you ever gone to see her again?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Facing Lu Weiwei's question, Liu Jinwen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"That's for sure." Lu Weiwei leaned back and said involuntarily:
"Of course I want to hear the truth. Don't you still lie?"
"Haha." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Liu Jinwen just smiled slightly and then said:
"Later, since that Valentine's Day, when the girl followed the man into the small hotel, I never looked for her again."
"Later on, the man left at some unknown time, and I met her in the supermarket by chance."
"But at that time, she didn't recognize who I was at all. Even though I was standing next to him and making payments with her, she didn't realize that I was the Liu Jinwen who used to have a close relationship with her."
"I can only cover my face with long hair to hide the inferiority complex in my eyes."
"No way, brother, you...are you too much?" It felt like there was still such a thing these days. Officer Wang couldn't stand it anymore, and he asked angrily:
"Liu Jinwen, your temperament and condition are not bad, right? Being a member of a metal band will give you a certain degree of exposure, right? There should be quite a few fans who like you, right?"
"You said you have no self-confidence? I really didn't expect this. I really didn't expect you to be such a weak person."
"Haha, it's funny, right? I think so too." Faced with Officer Wang's teasing, Liu Jinwen didn't take it seriously at all. He just picked up the teacup on the table again and took a sip.
After putting down the tea cup, he took out his cell phone and took a glance at it, then asked again: "Aren't you going to serve food? Do you still have to wait for Fatty? I'm already a little hungry."
"Well, you can eat first. We have already ordered the food and it can be served at any time." Gu Chen also reminded.
"Then let them serve the food first. Fatty may be here soon." Zhang Ying didn't want everyone to stay here hungry, so she was going to go out to find the waiter.
When Yuan Shasha saw this, she quickly stood up and said, "Nurse Zhang, you don't have to go. I'll go. I ordered the food."
"Okay." Seeing that Yuan Shasha had this intention, Zhang Ying didn't dare to force it.
So Yuan Shasha opened the door of the private room and was about to go out, but she bumped into "a wall".
His whole body bounced back and he almost flew backwards.
"Ouch!" Yuan Shasha said "Ouch", covering her head and looking up at the person coming.
I saw a fat man standing at the door.
When he saw Zhang Ying and Liu Jinwen sitting inside, he waved and greeted everyone: "Zhang Ying, Liu Jinwen."
"Fat man, is it you? Come in quickly." Seeing that the person coming was a member of his metal band, Zhang Ying quickly waved.
The fat man glanced at Yuan Shasha in front of him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was looking for the box just now. I didn't pay attention, so you opened the door and came out from inside. Did it hurt you?"
"That's not the case." Yuan Shasha rubbed her head and couldn't help but joked: "I feel like you are like a wall, and you are a flexible wall. I was almost bounced off by you."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone also laughed after hearing Yuan Shasha's ridicule.
At this time, the fat man scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "My body shape is a bit over the standard. I will lose weight another day."
"Lose weight?" Upon hearing what the fat man said, Zhang Ying was shocked at first, and then her expression turned into something familiar, and she said:
"I have heard this sentence of yours more than two hundred times. When have you ever lost weight?"
"They control their food intake in front of us, and then they overeat when they get home, including all the junk food."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ying also hated iron and said: "I'm talking about fat man, have you used the nutritious weight loss recipe that our director prescribed to you?"
"Haha, use it, use it." The fat man also laughed and responded rather perfunctorily.
Yuan Shasha, who was standing at the door, saw that everyone had arrived, and then walked out of the private room again.
Later, Zhang Ying introduced the fat man’s identity to Gu Chen:
"This is the fat guy in our band. You can just call him Da Pang, or call him Da Bai. Fatty is the drummer in our band."
"Moreover, I have learned drums since I was a child, won many awards, and even participated in performances abroad. It can be said that I have unlimited success."
"So where is Dabai's job now?" Hearing that the fat man had such a rich resume, Officer Wang asked him curiously.
The fat man smiled slightly: "It's not like he's high or low, he's just helping out at my dad's second-hand car shop."
"Please sit down." Gu Chen looked at the fat man in front of him and extended his hand to signal him to sit next to Liu Jinwen.
The difference in body shape between the two people was immediately obvious.
At this time, Yuan Shasha also came in from the outside and reminded: "The waiter said that we can serve the food right away, but we still need to wait for a few minutes."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yuan." Gu Chen also said casually.
Yuan Shasha smiled slightly and quickly sat back down.
"Fat man, let me introduce you." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Ying immediately began to introduce again:
"This handsome young man is Gu Chen, the deputy director of Furong Branch."
"Deputy Director?" When he heard about this position, Fatty had the same reaction as Liu Jinwen just now.
However, Liu Jinwen's reaction expression was slightly more exaggerated than before.
He quickly stood up, stretched out his fat hands, shook hands with Gu Chen and said, "Hey, Comrade Director, I didn't expect you to be so young?"
"Please take more care of my brother in the future, haha."
"Hello." Gu Chen's response was concise and to the point. He just smiled slightly and completed the handshake with the fat man.
"Fat man, this is Captain Wang of the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch." Zhang Ying continued to introduce.
"Hey, hello, Captain Wang." After seeing Gu Chen's position as deputy director, and looking at Officer Wang, the captain of the criminal investigation team, the fat man's enthusiasm suddenly dimmed, but he still needed to be perfunctory.
Later, Zhang Ying introduced Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha.
The fat man wanted to shake hands with the two of them, but Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha just stood across the dining table and clasped their fists as a gesture of salute."
The fat man failed to take advantage of the beautiful woman, so he could only sit down obediently.
After waiting for a few seconds, the fat man asked out of curiosity: "Oh, by the way, Zhang Ying, you said today is the breakup dinner for our metal band, so Vujicic hasn't come yet?"
"This is the issue we are going to discuss today." When the fat man mentioned Hu Zicic, Zhang Ying stopped pretending and confessed directly.
The fat man was a little confused and asked: "How do you say it?"
"Harmful!" Zhang Ying took a deep breath and said angrily: "Vujicic may never come."
"What do you mean?" The fat man didn't seem to understand.
Liu Jinwen on the side heard some clues, frowned slightly, and continued to ask:
"Zhang Ying, you said Hu Zhe can't come? What do you mean? Why can't he come forever? Is he sick?"
"I remember before, didn't he want to find the organizer of the East Lake Camp Music Festival? Didn't he want our band to participate in that music festival?"
"I haven't heard from him for a long time, and now you suddenly say that you want to have a breakup meal, and then you say that Hu Zicic will never come. What you said, why am I so worried?"
"No doubt." Zhang Ying, who was laughing and joking just now, suddenly turned ugly after mentioning Hu Zicic. She also sighed and said slowly:
"Vujicic is missing, and according to the police investigation, he is likely to have been killed."
"Killed?" Liu Jinwen and Fatty said in unison when they heard this word. They looked at each other, seemingly confused by the sudden situation.
"Zhang Ying, what do you say? You mean, Hu Zhe is dead? Who did it?" Liu Jinwen seemed quite shocked by this.
But Zhang Ying said calmly: "Currently, the probability of Hu Zhe's death is very high, and the murderer has also been killed."
"Now we can't even find Vujicic's body, what a shame!"
At the end of the speech, Zhang Ying also held back her sadness and held her forehead to steady her emotions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, Liu Jinwen and Fatty turned their attention to Gu Chen and the others.
Only then did everyone realize that today's party was to announce the death of Hu Zhe?
The fat man withdrew his Maitreya smiling face and asked Gu Chen seriously: "Director Gu, right? Since you are the leader of the police station, you must be investigating this matter, right?"
"That's right." Facing the fat man's question, Gu Chen nodded in agreement:
"We also took the initiative to investigate Hu Zhe's whereabouts after learning that he was missing."
"During the investigation, we discovered that Hu Zhe had many abnormal behaviors. Finally, we found the place where Hu Zhe disappeared, but no trace of Hu Zhe was found."
"Based on our investigation of clues, we finally determined that Hu Zicic was most likely killed and hid in a trash can on Binjiang Road on the night he disappeared."
"The garbage truck then tows away the trash can, and then secretly transports the body halfway and buries it in a secret place."
Sighing softly, Gu Chen tried to calm down and then added: "However, when we investigated the two people involved in the operation that night, we learned that Hu Zhe's body was disposed of by the murderer."
"But the murderer has also been killed by his boss behind the scenes using extraordinary means."
Looking up at the people in front of him, Gu Chen added: "So now, where is Hu Zhe's body? We don't know who the murderer is? We know, but the murderer is dead, and we still don't know who the real mastermind behind the scenes is.
…”
"So the reason why we came to you this time is to ask you to assist our police in investigating Hu Zhe's specific situation." Here, Gu Chen was still explaining the specific situation, and Lu Weiwei also interrupted.
After hearing what the two said, Liu Jinwen and Fatty looked at each other again, seemingly confused.
Officer Wang coughed twice and couldn't help but said: "To put it simply, it's Hu Zhe's death that is a bit strange. I feel that the other party must let him die in order to keep certain secrets."
"Moreover, the man behind the scenes, in order to make the death of Hu Zhe disappear forever, hired another killer to kill the killer who killed Hu Zhe, hoping to make Hu Zhe disappear forever."
After a pause, Officer Wang said with emotion: "So, we are a little confused now. We investigated the suspicious persons one by one and found that none of them were behind the scenes."
"And what secrets are hidden in Vujicic? We don't know at all."
"So now, I'm here to find your band members because I want to learn more about Vujicic from you."
"After all, the members of your metal band should have the best personal relationship. They should discuss everything with each other, right?"
"After hearing what you said, I understand." Also listening to Officer Wang's earnest words, the fat man quickly replied:
"Do you think we know the specific situation of Hu Zicic?"
"Yes, you don't understand. Who else can understand Hu Zhe?" Yuan Shasha also said softly.
Lu Weiwei also quickly added: "The main reason is that we don't know very well, has Hu Zhe, a person, ever offended some people?"
"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Liu Jinwen waved his hand and said:
"I know that Hu Zhe once offended someone, and this person was in the online loan business."
"Is it Shangguan Wu?" Before Liu Jinwen could finish speaking, Gu Chen replied directly:
"Zhang Ying has explained this to us before. Can you tell us something we don't understand?"
"Ah? So you know about this?" It also felt that Zhang Ying had disclosed this information to the police, and Liu Jinwen immediately retracted his thoughts.
Officer Wang also tried hard: "Dabai, tell me, has Hu Zhe offended anyone recently?"
"Recently? How do I know this recently? Recently, everyone is busy with their own careers, so every weekend, they get together and go to different cities to participate in tours. A lot of them are tired."
"Besides rehearsing every day, it's very boring. How can everyone have so much to say?"
"That means no? Think about it again." Lu Weiwei didn't want to give up the clues of the investigation, so she continued to urge the fat man.
The fat man also looked embarrassed, but at this moment, the door of the private room opened, and two waiters, carrying large trays, delivered some dishes to him.
And put the dishes on the table one by one.
After completing the operation, one of the waitresses said: "You have four more dishes. We will prepare them for you right away. You still need to wait a moment."
"Okay, got it." Lu Weiwei heard this and agreed, watching the waiter close the door to the private room.
But at this moment, the fat man seemed to have thought of something? His eyes suddenly lit up, and he put on a surprised and thoughtful expression.
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly asked him: "Dabai, did you think of something?"
"Hey! Don't say it yet." Looking down at Officer Wang, the fat man also thought about it and said:
"I remember that last week, through Vujicic's help, I sold a second-hand car from our car dealership to a friend of Vujicic. We all got along well and had a meal together."
"At that time, I felt that something was not right with Vujicic."
"What's wrong?" After hearing what the fat man said, Zhang Ying, who was sitting next to him, asked quickly.
The fat man frowned and said thoughtfully, "What's wrong with this? Yes, what's wrong?"
"Tsk!" Liu Jinwen, who looked expectant after hearing what the fat man said, also let out a "tsk" at this moment, and said angrily:
"What's wrong? Only you know? Are you asking us?"
"Oh, I remembered." The fat man, who had not thought of the problem before because of Liu Jinwen's quarrel, suddenly had an impression and said quickly:
"That's right, there were only three of us at that meal. Hu Zhe's friend was my customer, so Hu Zhe asked me to treat him to this meal."
"After all, I made a lot of difference in the price of that car, so I agreed."
"But later, Vujicic's friend received a call and left shortly after eating, saying that he had to leave temporarily because of something."
"So during that meal, Hu Zhe and I were the only ones left."
"What happened next?" After hearing the fat man's explanation, Yuan Shasha asked curiously.
The fat man thought for a moment and said slowly: "Later, I saw that Hu Zhe's face was not very good, so I asked him what happened?"
"He said it was okay. Maybe it was because he had been too tired recently. At the time, it seemed like that was the case, so I didn't think much about it."
"So I told him that I would transfer his share of the introduction fee to him later. He said that we were all brothers and there was no need to be polite to him. A meal with me would be enough."
"But I insisted on transferring it to him, and he didn't care. He said if you want, you can give it. Anyway, the money will have to be used for the band in the future."
"Vujicic is really interested in the band." Listening to what the fat man said, Lu Weiwei was able to deeply feel that in Vujicic's heart, the metal band held an extraordinary importance.
The fat man also nodded slightly and echoed: "Isn't it true? Our metal band has been facing various problems since graduation."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes on this year's national tour. So far, we've only made a few thousand dollars in profit, and that's the result of us performing in different cities every week."
After saying this, the fat man sighed, opened a bottle of herbal tea on the table, and took a few sips.
"I've already told them this." Zhang Ying reminded her after hearing what the fat man said.
The fat man put down the herbal tea, nodded slightly, and said involuntarily:
"So, if it weren't for Vujicic, who has been giving blood transfusions to our metal band to supplement various expenses, our band should have disbanded long ago."
"But Vujicic is unwilling to give in. He needs this band to survive. This is his dream. This guy is a person who likes to pay for his dreams."
"For this dream, he even secretly used the wedding house his parents bought for him as a mortgage."
With a heavy sigh, the fat man was also quite emotional.
"We also know these." After hearing what the fat man said, they were basically similar to what Zhang Ying said, so Gu Chen said again:
"What I need to know now is what I don't know. You just said that you felt that Vujicic was not in the right state at that dinner. He said that he was too tired?"
"That's right." Faced with Gu Chen's question, the fat man also spoke eloquently:
"He said he had been very tired recently, and it didn't feel like much at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels a little scared to think about it."
