Deng Weize pulled up an itinerary from the computer and turned the screen: "This Yusheng has become somewhat famous recently, and this is the first time it will hold a book signing. I guess... the scene will not be too big, and the organizer has
It’s a bookstore, so I let Cui Xiu go there alone.”
The schedule is very simple. We will set off in the morning of March 27th, arrive in Mingyang City at noon, pick up the author named Yusheng in the afternoon, and hold a book signing in the bookstore in the afternoon of the next day. If enough readers come to participate, we will also
You can extend it for another day.
In other words, Cui Xiu's original planned return date was March 29th or 30th.
She also had a video chat with Bai Qisheng at the hotel on the evening of the 29th, and the travel information found by Lu Dongming also showed that she took the 4:00 pm train back to Liancheng on the 30th.
"She didn't go to work after she came back, so you didn't even think about looking for her?" Duanmo asked.
Deng Weize said: "Our magazine does not have very strict requirements for editors' working hours. After all, editors are not only responsible for processing manuscripts, but also often go to the publishing house to communicate with authors. As long as they complete their tasks on time, no one will
Find out how many hours you work a week."
"This may seem casual on the surface, but in fact editors have to put in a lot of hard work. Especially at the end of every month, they often work late in order to ensure that the magazine can be published with high quality. Of course, their hard work is reflected in the company.
They all know it, so as long as the work is done well, they will never be treated badly in terms of salary."
"Cui Xiu didn't come to work the next day after returning from a business trip. This is normal in normal times. After all, she came back very late and there was no urgent work for her to do here, so I didn't look for her."
"The next day, her boyfriend came over to ask, and we found out that she had not come back. I also called on the mobile phone, but couldn't get through."
Deng Weize's eyes roamed across the faces of the two people opposite him, and he asked: "I heard... that a murder occurred in Qianjin Community over Huihuitun a few days ago. Could it... be her?"
"Who did you listen to?" Lu Wuchuan asked without answering.
"Although I work in animation, I still have a few friends in the media." Deng Weize's not too big eyes were shining behind the lenses, "I remember that Cui Xiu rented a house in Qianjin Community."
"Yes, the victim has been confirmed to be her." Lu Wuchuan said calmly, "Firstly, I came here to understand some circumstances, and secondly, I wanted to tell your company about Cui Xiu. However, as it relates to the detection of the case, I ask Editor Deng to keep it confidential.
, don’t tell your media friends.”
"Oh, I know this, and I will definitely not let it out." Deng Weize nodded repeatedly, then shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, Cui Xiu is a very good girl. Not only is she beautiful, but she also works very hard.
, who would have thought that it would just be gone. She still had a lot of work in her hands, so where would I go to find someone for a while? What a pity!"
Although he repeatedly said it was a pity, it could be seen that what he regretted was not Cui Xiu himself, but the loss of a subordinate who was both beautiful and sure to work hard.
Lu Wuchuan had no intention of listening to his useless words and said directly: "Editor-in-Chief Deng, please provide a list and contact information of the authors Cui Xiu is responsible for, both pen names and real names."
"Yes, but... it must be kept confidential." Deng Weize smiled slightly, "You two should know that competition among magazines is very fierce now, and personal information about authors can be considered commercial secrets."
"Don't worry, we have confidentiality rules and will not leak it to the outside world," Lu Wuchuan said.
"Wait a moment." Deng Weize said and started working on the computer again.
After a while, the printer on the desk started buzzing.
After getting the list, Lu Wuchuan and Duanmo didn't stay much longer and stood up to leave directly.
Deng Weize asked with some surprise: "Don't you two police officers need to know more about other situations?"
"Oh? Does Editor Deng have any clues to provide?" Lu Wuchuan asked.
Deng Weize waved his hands quickly: "That's not true. Cui Xiu and I have no contact except for work contacts. However, according to general practice, shouldn't the police ask about the victim's performance in the unit and whether he has any enmity with anyone?
?Also, you have to ask other colleagues, right?"
Lu Wuchuan nodded slightly: "Editor-in-Chief Deng, it is not convenient for us to disclose the details of the case. But based on the current situation we have, there is no need to do this yet. We will not bother you again until necessary."
"Okay, I'll take you out."
On the way back, Duan Mo couldn't help but sigh: "The world is really cold. Look at Editor Deng. His employee died. He didn't even feel sad at all. He only thought that Cui Xiu's job had no one to take it. Alas.
... Why are all leaders like this?"
"So, you should be lucky to have met me." Lu Wuchuan used the topic to play on, "Not every leader will care about his subordinates as much as I do. Cherish it, I'm afraid you will only meet one like me in your life!"
"Humph, I really don't want to meet the next one." Duanmo suddenly had an idea, turned around and asked, "Tell me, does this count as an unspoken rule?"
When there was a red light ahead, Lu Wuchuan stopped the car and leaned into her ear: "Do you want me to dive?"
Rang Burang Qian didn't know, but Duan Mo understood his subtext. She reached out and pushed the close head: "Don't get so close to me, or I'll sue you for harassment!"
Lu Wuchuan took advantage of the situation and grabbed the little hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it: "Come on, the police officer is here."
"Stop making trouble! Let's go!" Duan Mo pulled back his hand with a blushing face.
The two have been in a relationship for more than three months, and they have kissed and hugged each other, but every time he comes close, she still feels her cheeks get hot.
…
There are probably hundreds of authors that Cui Xiu is responsible for, and of course most of them are little-known authors.
These authors were located in various cities. Duan Mo did not look at each one carefully. Instead, he directly found Yu Sheng, the one who held the autograph session.
Yu Sheng's real name was Yu Liheng. He called the mobile phone number given on the list. The person who answered the phone was actually a girl with a very young voice.
Duan Mo hesitated for a moment: "...Excuse me, is Yu Liheng here?"
"That's me, who are you?"
"Hello, Miss Yu, I am Liancheng City Public Security Bureau..."
"You don't want to tell me that a certain bank card in my name is involved in illegal activities, do you?" Yu Liheng interrupted her directly, "Let me tell you, this trick no longer works, you have to
Let’s find a newer and more convincing reason, you know?”
Duanmo was not in a hurry to explain, but said: "Ms. Yu, you can check the phone number of the Liancheng City Public Security Bureau through the directory inquiry desk and ask the switchboard to transfer it to the special case team. Listen and see if it is me who answers the phone."
