Xu Chunliang got out of the taxi and saw a black Toyota Alfa parked in front of Huichun Hall.
The car had just arrived. The door opened and Hua Zhuyue shouted to him: "Chunliang, get in the car!"
Xu Chunliang was not surprised to see Hua Zhuyue. The SEVEN STAR bar where Yang Mufeng had an accident belonged to their Blue Star Group. She must have come to Dongzhou for this matter.
Xu Chunliang paid the fare and came to the Alpha car.
Hua Zhuyue said: "I wanted to go in and find you."
Xu Chunliang said: "You're here, let's go in and have a cup of tea."
Hua Zhuyue shook her head and said, "No need, I'm here to ask you something. When I have time, I'll pay a visit to Mr. Xu."
Xu Chunliang can understand her current situation. Yang Mufeng died inexplicably in SEVEN STAR and the bar has been closed.
Xu Chunliang told Hua Zhuyue some of the situations he learned. From the perspective of a bystander, the bar was innocent this time, and Yang Mufeng's death became a black swan event for the Blue Star Group.
"Don't you have surveillance cameras in your bar?" In today's era, even tobacco shops are equipped with surveillance cameras, not to mention the top bars in Dongzhou like SEVEN STAR.
Hua Zhuyue sighed and said: "There is surveillance, but it can't cover all corners. At present, all the surveillance videos have been taken away by the police. The specific situation is still unknown."
Xu Chunliang said: "With so many waiters, don't they have any impression?"
Hua Zhuyue shook her head.
Xu Chunliang said: "Let's wait for the police's investigation results."
The driver parked the car in front of the SEVEN STAR bar. It was very windy today and the empty parking lot was full of fallen leaves. Because the bar had given all its employees a day off and no one was cleaning it, it looked quite desolate.
The two got out of the car. Hua Zhuyue took out a cigarette from her handbag, and Xu Chunliang helped her light it. He remembered that she seemed to have quit smoking, but it seemed that she didn't succeed and started smoking again.
Hua Zhuyue took a puff of cigarette and said, "Thank you!"
Xu Chunliang said: "Did you say when we can resume business?"
Hua Zhuyue said: "Even if the business resumes, not many people will come here in the short term, so I simply let them take a holiday and renovate it after the police lift the alert."
In this year, SEVEN STAR Bar has encountered many changes, of course two of them were related to Xu Chunliang, and they were not acquainted without fighting. Now Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue have become friends in adversity.
Blue Star's performance was in decline last year, and the start of this year was not as good as the same period last year. Hua Zhuyue originally wanted to use the Spring Festival, the peak consumption season, to expand revenue, but now everything has come to nothing, at least in Dongzhou, it is no longer possible.
It’s hard to say what the subsequent impact of Star Group will be.
Hua Zhuyue said: "To be honest, I have some suspicions that someone is trying to sabotage our business."
Xu Chunliang said: "Do you know about OMMIA opening a branch in Dongzhou No. 1?"
Hua Zhuyue said: "I came here this time to be invited to attend their opening reception. Are you free tonight? Come with me."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You have already spoken. Of course, I am respectful and would rather obey." Even if Hua Zhuyue hadn't invited him, he still planned to go and find out. It was time to settle the accounts of the past.
Hua Zhuyue took another puff of cigarette and said, "What kind of person is Yang Mufeng?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I don't know him very well. This man used to be the director of the cardiology department of Haizhou Second Hospital. Tang Jinglun introduced him as a high-end talent to Huanian Health as the vice president. He has only been in office for a few days.
, he died unexpectedly.”
Hua Zhuyue didn't care about Yang Mufeng's life or death. From her perspective, there must be a conspiracy behind Yang Mufeng's death. She even suspected that the conspiracy was not only against Yang Mufeng, but also against their Blue Star Group.
Although the Hedong Group and the Blue Star Group both belong to the Orchid Gate, the Hedong Group has developed rapidly in recent years. The boss Pan Tianhua has been defiant to the gate owner Ji Buyao. As the Hedong Group continues to grow, Pan Tianhua actually has the power to compete with Ji Buyao.
Strength.
Hua Zhuyue had long warned Ji Buyao to be wary of the ambitious Pan Tianhua. If he was allowed to develop, Hedong would continue to encroach on their traditional market of Blue Star and shake their foundation.
However, Ji Buyao's interest has begun to shift over the years, and he has reduced investment in entertainment entities under Blue Star. Take the SEVEN STAR in Dongzhou as an example. Although it has been renovated and renovated, its quality and specifications cannot be compared with OMMIA.
.
Hua Zhuyue even suspected that Ji Buyao would give up Blue Star's traditional business and enter the film and television industry.
Xu Chunliang saw the notice of business suspension outside the gate and said to Hua Zhuyue: "Sister Hua, can you go to the place where yesterday's incident happened?"
Hua Zhuyue nodded, they entered through the small door, and there was a cordon surrounding the incident site.
Hua Zhuyue pointed to the booth and said, "The deceased was curled up in that corner at that time, and there were two wine glasses on the table."
Xu Chunliang said: "It proves that he did not come alone. The person who drank with him that night is the most suspect."
Hua Zhuyue said: "In the bar, there are a lot of men and women who have never met each other drinking together. There is no surveillance around here. This Yang Mufeng should come here often and knows the internal situation of the bar very well."
Xu Chunliang said: "You don't want to be seen by others, right?" When he said this, he suddenly thought of Pei Lin. Yang Mufeng and Pei Lin had an old relationship. They must not dare to meet in public. It is very likely that they would choose a bar, but Pei Lin had already found her.
He had agreed to help her solve the problem, so she probably wouldn't take any unnecessary risks or even take risks to kill people.
The biggest beneficiary of Yang Mufeng's death should be Pei Lin, and Hedong Group is also one of the beneficiaries.
Hua Zhuyue said: "But as long as you enter and leave the bar, surveillance images will be left behind. I believe the police will find the suspect soon."
The police took away the surveillance video of the SEVEN STAR bar. They tried to restore all the video records of that night, find every customer who entered and exited the bar, and then conducted an investigation one by one. Although the workload was a bit heavy, it still had a certain scope.
The bar’s surveillance system is not as complete as imagined. You wouldn’t know if you didn’t check it. Nearly one-third of the cameras are malfunctioning. Because of this omission, the investigation is full of uncertainty. From this point, we can also see that the SEVEN STAR bar
Management is very chaotic.
The focus of the current investigation is on the guest who was drinking with Yang Mufeng. There were fingerprints on the empty cup left at the scene, and several long golden hairs were found on the sofa in the booth. Based on the above clues, we can judge who was with Yang Mufeng that night.
It's a woman.
As the investigation deepened, more and more information about Yang Mufeng emerged. He divorced last year, and his wife and children are all in Haizhou. The reason why Yang Mufeng resigned from the Haizhou Second Court was because he took advantage of his position to receive high kickbacks.
, in order to avoid prosecution, he successively handed over 3.6 million in illegal gains to the local procuratorate.
Yang Mufeng not only had bad medical ethics, but also had bad personal ethics. He had affairs with many women in Haizhou, lived a luxurious life, purchased multiple properties in Haizhou, and owed a lot of debt.
After the divorce, as the at-fault party, he almost left the house and left all the properties in Haizhou to his wife and children.
After coming to Dongzhou, he lived in Jinmaoyue Community and lived with a woman named Chen Weiwei. The house he lived in was registered under Chen Weiwei's name.
Lu Qi immediately interrogated Chen Weiwei.
Chen Weiwei is twenty-two years old this year. She has opened a nail salon in Carnival Plaza. She makes short videos in her spare time and is a beauty blogger. There is no sadness on her face. Currently, she has not
Know the news of Yang Mufeng's death.
Lu Qi looked at Chen Weiwei, mainly paying attention to the color of her hair. Chen Weiwei had chestnut hair, and what they found on the sofa was blonde.
Chen Weiwei looked a little uneasy under Lu Qi's gaze: "Comrade police, what are you looking for me for?"
Lu Qidao: "You know Yang Mufeng, right?"
Chen Weiwei nodded, hesitated and said, "We have broken up."
Lu Qidao: "When was the last time we met?"
"Seven days ago! What happened to him?" Chen Weiwei seemed not to know about Yang Mufeng's death.
Lu Qidao: "Where was the last contact?"
Chen Weiwei said: "Last night, around eight o'clock, he sent me a message and asked me to go to Heytea on Changhai Road to get the key."
"Did you go?"
Chen Weiwei nodded and said: "I was at the nail salon in Jianian Plaza, not far from there, so I went there, but I didn't see him when I got there. I stayed for about ten minutes and then left.
He didn’t even answer his phone call.”
Lu Qidao: "Where did you go later?"
"I didn't go anywhere. I thought he was trying to trick me, so I went back to the nail salon later."
"Do you remember what time you went back?"
"Wait a minute!" Chen Weiwei took out her mobile phone and looked at the call history: "At 8:40, an old customer happened to want to see me for a manicure and called me to ask if I was in the store."
Lu Qi glanced at the policewoman on the side, who said, "The color of your hair is very beautiful. Where did you dye it?"
Chen Weiwei said with vigilance: "What do you mean?"
The policewoman said: "It's not interesting. I also want to dye it the same color."
Chen Weiwei said: "It's the Johnny look at Carnival Plaza. I just dyed it in the morning."
"Morning?" Lu Qi and the policewoman looked at each other.
Lu Qidao: "You used to dye your hair blonde, right?"
"How do you know? What exactly do you want to ask? What happened to Yang Mufeng?"
Lu Qidao: "Yang Mufeng died last night."
"What?" Chen Weiwei looked very surprised. Soon her eye circles turned red and she covered her lips with her hands.
Lu Qidao: "I hope you can cooperate with our investigation and tell everything you know."
"Yang Mufeng and I have broken up, and I have nothing to do with this matter." Chen Weiwei fell into panic.
Lu Qi comforted her and said, "Don't be nervous. We don't suspect anything about you. We are just conducting routine inspections now. We need your hair and fingerprints."
Chen Weiwei said: "You doubt me? I haven't seen him for a week, and he and I have broken up."
The policewoman said coldly: "Those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go."
