After confirming the specific time and place with his aunt, Gu Chen hung up the phone and discovered that Wen Jun had been hiding something from everyone.
Before, everyone helped Wen Jun find the whereabouts of his mother, but now, when Wen Jun got the news, he immediately avoided everyone.
Of course, Gu Chen could understand it. After all, this was Wen Jun's family matter. If Wen Jun could find his mother by his own ability, it would be good.
But now that Wen Jun was kidnapped, it was hard for Gu Chen not to wonder if there were other things hidden behind this incident?
"Brother He, on the morning of the 28th last month, an aunt met a pair of old people at the entrance of Ah Fu's Roasted Seeds Shop on Laodong Street. They chatted there for a while, like old acquaintances meeting up after not seeing each other for many years.
."
"Please pay attention. These two old men left by car in the end. Help me track the whereabouts of these two people."
On the phone, Gu Chen also gave various explanations.
He Junchao also quickly echoed: "Okay, I will notify you as soon as there is news."
"Then let's go to Ah Fu's roasted seeds and nuts shop and wait for news about you." Gu Chen said.
After a brief communication, the two hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha and immediately rushed to the scene.
…
…
When everyone parked their vehicles near the roasted seeds and nuts shop, He Junchao's phone happened to come over.
Gu Chen quickly asked: "Senior Brother He, how are you doing?"
"Something's wrong." He Junchao also looked confused.
"The two old people you mentioned did appear on the nearby streets, and I can also find footage of them leaving in a vehicle through surveillance."
"But the strange thing is that when the car stopped, it directly picked up other passengers, and it seemed that these two old people were not in the car at all."
"You mean, these two old men were driving in a blind spot?" Gu Chen seemed to realize that something was wrong.
He Junchao on the phone also quickly explained: "That's pretty much what it means, right? But from beginning to end, the car just slowed down while traveling near a certain community."
"Perhaps the two old men got off the bus in that community, and it could only be this place."
"Where is the location?" Gu Chen quickly asked again.
"It's just near Laodong Street, and it's only a few hundred meters away from Ah Fu's roasted nuts shop."
"A few hundred meters?" Gu Chen looked confused.
And He Junchao also quickly explained: "Yes, it's only a few hundred meters, so I think there is no need to take a taxi for this distance."
"Unless there is a possibility, the two old men wanted to get rid of the acquaintance as soon as possible, so they called a car and waited for the car to drive a certain distance before stopping immediately."
"What you said is possible. According to what I know, those two old people moved away many years ago, but they were only recently encountered by people from the old community."
"And these two old men really want to leave as soon as possible."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, He Junchao immediately understood: "That's right, these two old people must live nearby."
"In order to get away from an acquaintance, they deliberately took a taxi. Then they must live near this community."
"Okay, send me the last coordinates and the screenshots of the surveillance footage of the two old people." Gu Chen said.
"No problem, I will send it to your mobile phone later." He Junchao also quickly replied.
The two communicated briefly and hung up the phone again.
So Gu Chen shared the situation with everyone again.
Yuan Shasha thoughtfully said: "I'm very curious, how could this gentle grandma and grandpa be like this? Why did they move back to Jiangnan City again?"
"Moreover, you should usually be happy to see an old acquaintance, but not only did you not leave the other person's contact information, but you also left in a hurry. There must be something fishy in this."
"Yes." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also said quickly:
"I just feel that this gentle grandma and grandpa are very suspicious. I feel like they are hiding some invisible secret."
"Normal people are definitely not like this. Only by hiding secrets can they not be known to outsiders. That's why they hide when they meet acquaintances."
"No matter what the situation is now, we will go directly to find someone." Officer Wang also couldn't hold it any longer.
I always feel that there is something wrong with Wen Jun.
So everyone followed the previous route and arrived at the entrance of Ah Fu Roasted Seeds Shop.
There is not much traffic now, so there are no customers in front of many shops.
There was a middle-aged woman sitting there at Ah Fu's door. She was fat and eating melon seeds.
Seeing Gu Chen and others coming to the door, they immediately stood up and asked, "What do you want?"
"Have you seen these two people?" Gu Chen showed the surveillance screenshot sent by He Junchao in front of the middle-aged woman.
"I've seen it before. I often came to my place to buy things." The middle-aged landlady seemed to have a good memory.
Gu Chen just showed the surveillance screenshot in front of her, and she could immediately tell who it was?
Of course, it is understandable that businessmen have good memories.
Everyone was overjoyed, and Lu Weiwei immediately asked: "Then do they live nearby?"
"That should be the case." The middle-aged landlady continued to crack melon seeds and said thoughtfully, "I used to come here to buy things often."
"But recently, I haven't seen it, and I don't think I've been here."
"In other words, they have always visited Laodong Street before?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded silently.
So Yuan Shasha asked again: "How long did it take for them to appear here?"
"How long?" After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged landlady continued to think about it: "It seems that it appeared for more than a month. Anyway, during that time, he would basically appear here frequently."
"Moreover, they also like to buy things from my store, so they look familiar to me. If you show me a photo, I can recognize them immediately."
"Then do you know where they live?" Officer Wang heard this and asked her quickly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The middle-aged female boss lady hesitated for a moment, but also thoughtfully said: "Where to live? Oh, this... It's really hard to say, maybe I live nearby.
"
"Live nearby?" Officer Wang heard this and looked at everyone in confusion.
This is similar to everyone’s previous judgment.
Lu Weiwei also continued to ask: "What do they usually buy?"
"What do you usually buy?" Hearing Lu Weiwei ask this question, and looking at everyone wearing police uniforms, he knew that the police might be investigating something? So he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly introduced it to Lu Weiwei:
"Just this, this, this is the best. They usually like to buy these kinds..."
As the middle-aged woman continued to introduce her products, Gu Chen probably knew that these kinds of fried goods might be the favorite of the old couple.
But thinking that the old couple might live nearby, Gu Chen also became wary.
Especially when I heard the introduction from the middle-aged landlady just now, the old couple had not appeared for a long time. This means that the two old people, perhaps after meeting acquaintances, felt that it was not safe here, so they hurriedly moved out.
That's why it hasn't appeared for a long time.
But what Gu Chen fears the most is this, because once the old couple leaves, it will be very difficult to find them.
So Gu Chen quickly took out his cell phone, showed Wen Jun's photo in front of him, and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
"This young man?" After looking at the person in the photo, the female boss immediately replied:
"I've seen you before. Isn't this the young man who came last night?"
"What did he say to you?" Officer Wang asked.
"What did you say? It seems that you were also asking about these two old people." Halfway through her words, the middle-aged woman asked a fat middle-aged man in the store:
"Husband, last night, did a young man come over to inquire about two old people?"
Seeing no one responded, the middle-aged landlady quickly explained to Gu Chen: "Last night, my husband was here, and I was sorting out the warehouse in the back. I want to ask, please wait a moment."
"Okay." Seeing that the middle-aged female boss was so enthusiastic, everyone could only stand here and continue to wait.
Then, the middle-aged woman walked to the warehouse door in the back row and asked inside: "Husband, I want to ask you something."
"Ah? Wait a minute."
After a while of fussing, the fat middle-aged man put down his work, followed the landlady to the cashier, picked up the thermos cup and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I'm just asking you, wasn't there a young man who came to our store last night and asked about two old people? Weren't you here at the time?"
"Oh, yes, there is a young man." He raised his head and glanced at Gu Chen and the others at the door. Only then did the man in the middle realize that it was the police who were asking about this matter.
So he quickly responded: "That young guy asked me last month...on the morning of the 28th last month, if two old men came to our store."
"Then, there was something about taking a bus to leave. I was a little confused at the time, and I said I didn't remember."
"He pointed at the surveillance camera in my store and wanted me to help take a look. He said the two old people were his long-lost grandparents."
"I was very puzzled when I heard it. I thought this was still happening? But I couldn't get him to insist, so I showed him."
"Then can we take a look?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Of course." Seeing the police making this request, the middle-aged man immediately walked to the computer and started operating it.
Since he had done the operation yesterday, the middle-aged man seemed to be more skilled. After a while, he found the surveillance cameras at that time and said, "Hey, this is it."
When Gu Chen and others heard this, they immediately gathered around.
Only then did everyone discover that in the video, Wen Jun's grandparents were indeed talking to people at the door of the store.
Gu Chen then zoomed in on the screen, and then he vaguely saw that the old couple seemed very nervous at the time.
The aunt was communicating with the two old people the whole time, and then the two old people hurriedly stopped a taxi on the side of the road and left.
"That's it." The middle-aged man looked at Gu Chen and the others and said involuntarily:
"That young man said that these two people were her grandmother and grandfather. Anyway, I don't know if that's true."
"Then what?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Then he left and stuffed me with a few hundred dollars, saying he was thanking me."
Smiling, the middle-aged man also scratched the back of his head and continued: "Anyway, this guy is quite interesting, and I also made a few hundred yuan."
"Thank you." After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Gu Chen expressed his thanks and then asked:
"Then do you know, was there anyone else with him at the time?"
"Others? No, no, he was the only one at that time."
"Then is there anyone following him?" Gu Chen asked again.
"No... right?" When listening to Gu Chen say these words, the middle-aged man began to become unsure.
When the middle-aged woman saw this, she also patted her husband on the shoulder: "Did you see it?"
"I really didn't see it. I was so happy that I made hundreds of dollars for nothing. Did I really not pay attention to what was going on around that young man?"
"But, he is the one who makes people come here."
"Okay, thank you, but I would like to know, after the young man left, did anyone come to you to ask about the young man before?"
"No." After hearing Gu Chen's question, the middle-aged fat man still shook his head:
"I don't remember it anyway."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen then briefly communicated with the couple before leading everyone away.
After walking out of the roasted seeds and nuts shop, Gu Chen took out his cell phone and immediately dialed He Junchao's phone number.
Not long after, He Junchao's call was answered: "Gu Chen."
"Brother He, Wen Jun came to the roasted seeds and nuts shop last night. Can you help me check on the surveillance to see if there were any suspicious people around him at that time?"
"Okay, wait a minute." Hearing what Gu Chen said, He Junchao immediately started to investigate.
Not long after, He Junchao immediately replied to Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, I've seen the surveillance, and he is Wen Jun alone."
"Are there no suspicious persons?" Gu Chen asked.
"There is no preliminary investigation. How about I investigate Wen Jun's situation along the way?"
"It's best this way. Tell me immediately if there is any situation." Gu Chen said.
"No problem." He Junchao said he understood.
The two also had a simple communication and hung up the phone again.
At this moment, Gu Chen could only lead everyone to search for the place where the two old men disappeared.
Arriving at the location where He Junchao sent him, Gu Chen found that there were many old houses with many retracted awnings on the eaves.
Originally, this old street was not wide, and many shops spread out their sunshade cloths, which quickly blocked the space on both sides of the road.
Although vehicles can pass through this old street, you must slow down when driving in this place.
Gu Chen briefly observed the surrounding situation and found that once a vehicle passed by, the speed would be as fast as a snail.
Because there were pedestrians on both sides, and there were also many people riding electric scooters, Gu Chen had to constantly step aside to give way to pedestrians when he got here.
Thinking of the speed of the vehicles that passed here before, Gu Chen felt that the two old people might have gotten off the car from here and left through a certain path.
You can look left and right and find that there are indeed two small passages to the left and right in this place.
Some old people were walking among them carrying handbags.
