Although Gu Chen was sure that the guest staying at the hotel was Shu Ke, he learned from the man that Shu Ke was not at his residence during the day, so it was naturally a bit troublesome to meet him.
Thinking that Shuke would come back sooner or later, he was not in a hurry, so he casually chatted with the man for a few words, and then walked out of the garden with Lu Weiwei and others.
But coincidentally, as soon as I walked out of the iron gate from the garden, the noise outside became much louder.
The noisy people in the underground wine cellar were still taking photos there.
But Gu Chen's thoughts were not here.
The entire winery was originally a relatively mysterious place, but now the location has been found, but Gu Chen knew very well that he must not alert the enemy.
So we walked into the underground wine cellar with everyone, and then went from the underground wine cellar to the exhibition hall above.
Since the restaurant and the exhibition hall are connected by the balcony outside, Gu Chen could only go to the team leader Wang Jun.
After Gu Chen and others disappeared for a while, they suddenly appeared in front of them.
Wang Jun also looked around to make sure there was no one else around, then he called Gu Chen and others to sit here:
"Where did you guys go? I didn't even see you."
"Leader, the scenery here is very nice. It's much higher than what I expected." Lu Weiwei sat directly next to Wang Jun and kept chatting.
Wang Jun smiled and said: "For those of you who are new tourists here, of course it will be very shocking."
"But for us team leaders who come here often, that's it. It's not surprising after seeing too much."
"Leader, the winery has a restaurant. Do all the people in the restaurant eat here?"
"About that?" After thinking for a while, the team leader Wang Jun added: "However, the employees in the winery, including sales in the showroom and those in the workshop, all have their own independent kitchens."
"Because the restaurant in the winery exhibition hall is provided for those of you traveling to dine, so it is separate."
"Then have you ever seen a mixed-race man dining here?" After all, Wang Jun often came here to dine with tourists, so Gu Chen could only ask in a low voice in Wang Jun's ear.
Wang Jun looked around and saw no one else, then whispered: "No, I have not seen the person you are talking about."
After a pause, Wang Jun asked Gu Chen again: "Have you found that guy?"
"Absolutely? But this person is so elusive that he may not be in the winery now." Gu Chen also leaned on the seat and communicated with Wang Jun in a low voice.
Wang Jun frowned and said hesitantly: "So, how do you want me to help you?"
Gu Chen did not answer immediately, but after thinking about it, he slowly said: "I heard from the staff here that there is a man who looks like a mixed race living in the accommodation area of the winery."
"But this person leaves early and comes home late, and I don't know his schedule. I just want to know where he eats?"
"But you just said that the employees here also have their own canteen, so..."
"So you suspect that he will eat with those people?" Wang Jun raised his eyebrows, but continued to ask:
"But even if that's the case, it still has to prove that he lives in the winery."
"This is what I doubt." Seeing Wang Jun mention it, Gu Chen simply confessed to him:
"I suspect that this person may have been hiding somewhere in the winery. The accommodation area may be where he sleeps at night, but he may be somewhere in the winery during the day."
"Furthermore, if we can arrange to stay at the winery, this person must be familiar with the leadership of the winery."
"In other words, the leaders of the winery deliberately hid him in the winery."
"I understand." Wang Jun seemed to be an understanding person. When Gu Chen said this, he knew Gu Chen's intention, so he said again:
"You want to know where in the winery this person is hiding? Do you want to wait here?"
"Besides, you also want to go to that canteen to check out the situation, right?"
"That's right." Seeing that Wang Jun had said this, Gu Chen simply stopped pretending and said quickly:
"But unless the management takes you there, searching here based on your tourist status alone will not yield any results."
"Then what do you want?"
"Go to that employee canteen to have some food." As soon as Wang Jun finished speaking, Gu Chen got straight to the point.
But this stumped Wang Jun. After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and sighed:
"I can't help you with this. I don't know what the situation is over there, but I can make arrangements for you in the restaurant here."
After a pause, Wang Jun said again: "Let's do this. You will eat in this restaurant at noon first, try to get close to the employees here, and then go to the canteen over there to experience the taste."
"Okay, it's just what I want." Seeing that Wang Jun and he wanted to go together, Gu Chen responded with a smile.
…
…
At noon, the tourists were a little tired from checking in and taking photos at various visits to the winery.
In addition, the weather was a bit hot today, so many tourists hid on the balcony outside the exhibition hall and chatted.
When it was time for dinner, many tour company leaders also began to gather people together.
"Are all our people here?"
"Not yet, there are two more going to the toilet."
"Then wait for them."
"We're all here. Hurry up and go eat."
"How many people are there?"
…
All kinds of noisy sounds came and went.
Wang Jun was also counting the number of people. After counting the heads, Wang Jun also reminded everyone:
"Okay, our people are all here. We'll go to the restaurant to grab seats right away."
"Everyone, please follow me later and don't run around. We will have a fixed location."
"When the time comes, each of us will have one dish, and there will be as many dishes as there are people at the table."
After a pause, Wang Jun also glanced in the direction of Gu Chen, and then reminded everyone to go inside: "Okay, follow me."
Following a burst of noisy movement, everyone lined up and followed Wang Jun.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s like a kindergarten teacher taking a group of old children to have a meal.
The restaurant is also very spacious, a place similar to a banquet hall.
It is filled with various round tables.
Since there were not many tourists coming today, even if all the tourists entered the restaurant, there would still be many round tables empty.
Wang Jun also greeted everyone and reminded: "You can have 10 people at one table, or seven or eight people at one table. Everyone can share tables freely. We will occupy three tables."
After the words fell, Wang Jun began to walk to a waiter and order directly.
At this time, Gu Chen also took the initiative to walk up to the waiter and get close to him: "Is this the only restaurant here?"
"It's just a restaurant." The boyish waiter nodded in agreement.
"Then where do you usually eat? Is it also here?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Well……"
The male waiter hesitated for a moment, but shook his head in denial: "No, we usually have our own canteen, and we go to the staff canteen to eat."
"That's right. We are journalists by profession. We want to experience a different life when we travel."
"So you just said that you have your own canteen. We would also like to go there and experience it. Isn't it convenient?"
"This?" The immature male waiter seemed a little surprised. After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a request.
But after all, he was a customer, so he couldn't refuse, so he could only explain:
"Our employee canteen is over there. Just go out from the exhibition hall and turn right. You will see an iron gate. Go in, then turn left and keep walking."
"Is that a meal card or something?" Lu Weiwei also stepped forward and asked.
"Pay with mobile phone. We don't have many people here, so we all use mobile phones to pay and scan the QR code. As long as you have a mobile phone." The male waiter also said seriously.
"Okay, thank you." Seeing that her goal was achieved, Lu Weiwei also smiled.
So a few people pretended to say hello to Wang Jun and ran directly to the location informed by the waiter.
Sure enough, after entering the iron gate, everyone turned left along the path and came to a spacious building.
There are dining tables outside, and the food supply area in the cafeteria is inside.
Since there are not many people dining now, the dining table area is also a bit loose.
Gu Chen and the others found an area with a dense dining area and sat down, mainly because they wanted to inquire about Shu Ke from the employees dining here.
So Police Officer Wang, as the deputy leader of our "excellent tour group", also pretended to buy food for everyone.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha came to the side of two women wearing work uniforms.
After Lu Weiwei touched her shoulder, Yuan Shasha quickly got close to the two people beside her: "Are you the staff here?"
"Ah?" Since I had been chatting, I didn't pay attention to Yuan Shasha beside me.
But when Yuan Shasha asked, the two of them immediately reacted and nodded in agreement:
"Yes, you are new here?" asked a slender middle-aged woman.
"Oh, no, we are here for a trip and want to experience your canteen." Yuan Shasha also smiled and quickly explained to the two of them.
"Oh." The two of them may not be good at words, and they seemed a little reserved when faced with being approached by strangers.
So Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "How is the food here?"
"It's okay. It's not particularly delicious anyway, but it's cheap." Another fat middle-aged woman also added.
"Well, it's usually your employees who dine here. Are there any employees who are not yours who have eaten here?"
Gu Chen saw that it was almost done, so he deliberately found a topic to talk about.
As soon as the two of them took one look at Gu Chen's handsome face, they immediately felt the desire to chat.
So they both said together:
"Usually they provide meal service to employees."
"There will also be other non-employees coming here to eat."
Since both of them spoke at the same time, the rhythm of the conversation was disrupted.
So the two started arguing with each other: "Didn't tourists come here to dine before?"
"Is there any? It seems not?"
"Yes, isn't there one these days?"
"These days? Oh, yes, he seems to be a foreigner."
…
The two of them exchanged words with each other, but soon they started talking about foreigners.
When Gu Chen heard this, he quickly asked: "You still have foreign tourists coming to your employee canteen to dine? Then this person seems to be quite strange. He doesn't go to tourist restaurants. Could it be that he also likes to experience life?"
"Uh, this... seems like it?"
"Well, I'm not sure either."
The two began to get entangled again.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also asked: "Male or female?"
"Male." This time, the two women said in unison.
"Wow, that should be pretty handsome, right?" Upon seeing this, Yuan Shasha quickly asked.
The slender woman quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Handsome, that foreign man is indeed handsome, but coming here alone feels quite strange."
"Yes." As soon as the slender woman finished speaking, the fat woman beside her also quickly answered:
"Besides, it seems that he has been dining here these days, and he feels like he is living in our winery. But, he doesn't have a work badge, and he is not wearing the work uniform of our winery."
"So I feel that he is not from our winery, but except during meal times, I can't see anyone else at all? It's quite strange."
"Well, it's more than just weird?"
…
The two of them also started talking about the foreign man.
Gu Chen also felt at this moment that this was exactly the same as his previous guess.
Shuke may be hiding in a corner of the winery. Thanks to the care of the leaders here, he can hide his identity in the winery and even live here.
You can even dine with the winery employees, avoiding dining in tourist restaurants.
Gu Chen speculated that this might be to prevent Shuke from being exposed too much.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly asked the two women: "Then when does this foreign man usually come over for dinner during the day?"
"Just in the morning and evening, they usually don't show up at noon." said the slender woman.
The fat woman also quickly answered: "Yes, I bought some breakfast in the morning. I seem to buy a lot. I should save it for lunch, right?"
"But in the evening, I will come to have a meal. At other times, it is difficult to meet her."
"Oh, that means you won't go out to eat at noon?" Listening to what the two said, Gu Chen figured out Shu Ke's activity pattern again.
I thought that if we could meet him at night, arresting Shuke would be a relatively logical thing.
But in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Gu Chen and others could only pretend to be tourists for dinner.
So after Officer Wang brought the food, everyone ate quietly without saying anything else.
After the meal, many employees will not leave here quickly. It seems that because there is no rest area, this is a temporary resting spot for everyone.
Many people will hide here to smoke and chat.
But Gu Chen and others could not stay here for long, so they could only follow the road they came from and return to the exhibition hall.
Here, teams from many travel agencies began to gather, as if they were rushing to the next location after the meal.
Wang Jun's team was also among them, and they seemed to be looking for traces of Gu Chen and the others.
