"Teacher Liu? If you don't have a specific name, you can call her Teacher Liu as long as your surname is Liu. Finding someone like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Lu Weiwei was a little confused.
At least Xu Yaxuan's statement is indeed too general.
Xu Yaxuan thought about it again, and then said: "I remember that he bought a small villa in Donghu Park, Jiangnan City."
"That was when he was making the most money. It seemed like he was going to live in that villa after he retired."
"That's all I know. I don't know the rest if you ask me."
"East Lake Park? Small villa?" With these clues, Officer Wang quickly thought of a place and hurriedly explained to Gu Chen and the others:
"I only remember that there seems to be a villa project over there in East Lake Park, which is East Lake Garden, which is a high-end commercial community."
"There are not only high-rise buildings, but also villas, and those villas are all distributed on the edge of East Lake."
"That's easy to handle." Hearing what Officer Wang said, Gu Chen was very satisfied and quickly said:
"Villas are scarce resources, so we can narrow the scope of the search."
"Also, what are the characteristics of that Teacher Liu? I mean appearance."
"Well, he is tall and thin. He should have been pretty good when he was young, because he had many lovers. I heard that when he first became successful, he relied on soft food."
"Later on, I relied on the resources of the rich woman to reach my later position step by step. But after that, Teacher Liu still wanted to make a comeback in the industry."
"But you also know that this kind of industry relies on others' trust in you."
"Once others lose trust in you and your reputation in the industry takes a turn for the worse, your reputation will collapse."
"Moreover, the incident in which he hired others to bury my father alive was later known to the police. Teacher Liu was also sent to prison and spent several years in jail."
"After all, it's been 10 years, and I don't know where he is? But you ask me, who has a grudge against my father."
"You don't have to guess, I know it. That's Teacher Liu. But after so many years, I don't know if Teacher Liu has let go of this grudge."
"But at least it was my dad who sent him to prison in the first place, so it must be true that he hates my dad and wants to take revenge on my dad."
"Okay." Listening to Xu Yaxuan's words, Gu Chen also had reason to believe that Teacher Liu might have been released from prison now.
Therefore, it may be a normal thing to take revenge on Xu Tianxia, who made him lose everything back then.
So Gu Chen quickly said: "Don't go anywhere now. Your father's sudden death is still fishy."
"Before we investigate the problem, you can temporarily stay in our police dormitory for a while. Living outside may be dangerous."
"But……"
"Tsk!" As soon as he heard Gu Chen's words, Xu Yaxuan had an idea of his own.
Gao Hu, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't sit still. He also let out a "tsk" and said quickly:
"It's for your personal safety now. Do you think so if your father left so mysteriously?"
"I don't just mean that, I mean, even if I have to move away from this place temporarily, I should at least tell my sister, right?"
"Now I'll give you some time. You can call your sister, and then take away the daily necessities you want to bring. We'll wait for you."
"Okay." Seeing that Officer Wang had said so, Xu Yaxuan quickly said, "I'll go back now."
Since Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had been to Xu Yaxuan's rental house, they also knew the address, so they accompanied Xu Yaxuan back to the residence and packed her personal belongings in the car.
Then he took Xu Yaxuan to the police dormitory of Furong Branch.
In the car, Xu Yaxuan talked to her neighbor sister on the phone, and the two of them cried so hard on the phone.
After settling into Xu Yaxuan's accommodation, Gu Chen, Gao Hu, and He Qian immediately drove to East Lake Park.
When a few people drove to the parking lot of East Lake Park, they found that the place was not as high-end as they imagined.
A corner of the park has long been overgrown with weeds, and it seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time.
In the high-end residential areas here, there are very few vehicles parked on the roadside, and it seems that the occupancy rate is not high.
Gu Chen and others parked their cars in a parking space opposite the community. After getting off the car, they walked directly towards the interior of the community.
But when we arrived outside the guard room, there was no one inside.
Several people had no choice but to pass through the roadblock and enter the underground parking lot of the community.
"Why are there only so few cars in this place? I remember that when it opened, this place was very popular. Why does it suddenly feel so desolate?" Lu Weiwei walked at the front and couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the desolate scene.
"That's because several large shopping malls in the surrounding areas are in ruins, investors have donated money and run away, and there is no money in their bank cards."
"Therefore, several very important supporting facilities in the surrounding areas have been forced to be unfinished, which has a great impact on this area."
"In addition, there are many such parks in Jiangnan City, and the competitiveness of East Lake Park is not that strong. Moreover, it is far away from the urban area and there are no supporting industries around it."
"For people who live here, the cost of commuting to work is high, so they will definitely sell their houses here and move to other places."
While Lu Weiwei was still confused, Yuan Shasha gave many explanations.
"Okay, Xiao Yuan." Listening to Yuan Shasha's detailed explanations, Officer Wang couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that you have a very good understanding of the business model here."
"Haha, Senior Brother Wang received the award. I heard it from a relative of mine during the Chinese New Year dinner." Yuan Shasha said modestly.
"Alas, real estate projects nowadays are always running away. In the past, the bank's money flew up when it was spent, but now the boomerang has finally had its consequences."
Officer Wang shook his head and came to an exit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So let’s go in together.
When everyone passed the exit of the underground parking lot and arrived at the community garden, they found that there were even a lot of weeds growing on the lawn.
"Look, there is no property, and the weeds have grown so tall." Seeing this scene, Officer Wang couldn't help complaining.
Gao Hu and He Qian looked at each other, and they both felt the desolation of this community.
Especially when looking up at the windows of each house, there are very few residents drying clothes.
There are even some stray cats and dogs playing throughout the garden.
It doesn't look like a high-end community at all.
"The villa area should be near the lake." While everyone was stopping in place, Gu Chen pointed to one of the locations and said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go over and try your luck." Lu Weiwei said.
So everyone followed Gu Chen and walked towards the lake.
After passing through several buildings, everyone discovered that the walls of many of the villas today were covered with ivy, as if they had not been tidied up for a long time.
But there are also some villas that look relatively clean.
And these clean villas are obviously inhabited by people.
So Gu Chen and others began to ask questions one by one along the far right side of the villa area.
Seeing an old lady with white hair watering the lawn in the yard, Gu Chen and others hurried over.
"Auntie, is there a Teacher Liu living here?" Lu Weiwei said while lying on the guardrail outside the yard.
The white-haired old lady turned around and asked casually: "What is Teacher Liu? What do you do?"
"I was a lecturer before, giving speeches to companies." Yuan Shasha also added.
"I've never heard that we have a lecturer here." The old lady walked back to a corner of the yard and turned off the faucet.
After placing the water pipe, he took the initiative to walk to the entrance and exit of the yard and opened the small wooden door.
"He bought a house here before, intending to live there after he retires. His surname is Liu. Do you have any of the only remaining residents here with the surname Liu?"
"There is one, but he is not a teacher, right?" The white-haired old lady crossed her arms and was thoughtful.
"Oh, what does he do?" Officer Wang asked quickly.
"What do you do? I used to be a businessman, but then I heard that the market was not doing well, so I retired early and started raising dogs and growing flowers every day."
"I don't know if that person is the one you are looking for?"
"In addition to this person, are there any other residents named Liu?" Gao Hu quickly asked.
"No more." The white-haired old lady waved her hands and explained:
"The person here with the surname Liu is still living in the villa area here, the one I just mentioned. No one else has the surname Liu."
"Then which villa does he live in now?" Yuan Shasha asked quickly.
"Have you seen that big tree?" The old lady walked outside the yard and pointed to one of the locations.
"I saw it, it looks like a fir tree." Yuan Shasha said.
"That's the one opposite. There aren't many people living here right now," the old lady said.
"Okay, thank you." After receiving the reply, Gu Chen and others quickly thanked them and immediately rushed to the building.
Compared with the delicate little yard of the white-haired old lady, the yard of this villa is almost a wasteland.
Except for the path leading from the courtyard gate to the villa, it is still spacious and clean.
The rest of the yard looks a bit overgrown.
The pool in the yard has long since dried up, but the ivy on the wall looks very similar.
The whole yard looks rather old, and it seems that it hasn't been taken care of much.
But when I looked at the other corner of the yard, there seemed to be some men's clothes hanging out.
From the clothes hanging to dry, we can judge that there seems to be only one person living in this household.
"Tuk tuk tuk! Is anyone there?" Lu Weiwei stood at the door and started knocking on the door.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Lu Weiwei immediately increased her intensity and continued to knock on the door: "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
Also under the influence of continuous knocking on the door, some movement could finally be heard in the house.
So Lu Weiwei took a step back and began to wait for the owner to open the door.
"Click!" Following the sound of the door lock being loosened, a haggard middle-aged man stuck his head out and asked:
"Who are you looking for?"
"Your surname is Liu?" He Qian asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Feeling a little confused, the man asked one more question.
"Have you ever been a speaker before?" He Qian continued to ask.
"Why are you asking this?" When he heard the word "speaker" from He Qian's mouth, a trace of panic clearly flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.
Everyone who saw this scene seemed to have determined that this was the teacher Liu they were looking for.
"Have you ever been a speaker before? Did you end up in jail for a few years because of some illegal things?" Gao Hu seemed to be very disrespectful to others and always exposed his shortcomings whenever he spoke.
The man frowned slightly, trying to control his emotions, and then asked: "What do you want from me?"
"It seems that you are the person we are looking for." Seeing that the man had also taken the initiative to confess, Gao Hu was convinced that the person standing in front of everyone at this time was Xu Tianxia's teacher.
"We want to know something from you. Can we go in and talk?" Gu Chen also took the initiative to step forward and explain.
"Okay." The middle-aged man opened the door directly without hesitation, and then led everyone into his villa.
However, compared to the sloppy courtyard outside the villa, the inside of the villa is relatively clean and tidy.
After the man invited everyone to sit down in the living room, he began to pour tea for everyone.
Gu Chen took the tea, said "thank you", and continued to ask the man:
"Can we talk now?"
"Okay." After the man handed the last cup of tea to Lu Weiwei, he nodded silently and took the initiative to sit on the lounge chair opposite everyone.
"Are you the only one who lives here?" Lu Weiwei carefully observed her surroundings and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, I live alone."
"What about your family?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"After the divorce, the children all followed their mother." The man spoke weakly and seemed to feel very helpless.
"Okay." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei took back the topic and continued to ask:
"Do you know Xu Tianxia?"
Just such a casual question made the middle-aged man suddenly have a flash of fear in his eyes.
He looked at everyone with some confusion, and soon began to work hard to control his emotions.
After a long while, he slowly said: "What Xu Tianxia? I have a bad memory, so I don't know this person very well."
"He used to be your student. Before he became your student, he worked in the field in an advertising company. Do you still remember him?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
But the middle-aged man still waved his hand and denied: "I'm not sure. I may or may not remember."
"Then I say he is the person who caused you to go to jail. Do you still have any impression?"
Gu Chen didn't follow him in vain and said it straightforwardly.
But now, the middle-aged man sitting on the recliner seemed to be a little touched.
The whole person's eyes were blurred, as if his thoughts had returned to before.
"Mr. Liu, can you tell me now, do you know this Xu Tianxia?" Gu Chen has been observing the changes in the middle-aged man's expression.
When Gu Chen said this, he could clearly see the change in the man's expression.
Even if the man didn't say anything, Gu Chen already had the answer in his heart.
