Chapter 2070
If Zhou Min left from Dynasty Bar that night, did Liu Yi, who was singing on the stage, notice it? Gu Chen can't judge now.
But it doesn't mean that there is no such possibility.
After all, the customers in the bar have always been regular customers, and when Xu Tiankai came to Dynasty Bar, he blatantly called Zhou Min away.
Gu Chen couldn't believe that none of the customers and service staff in the bar saw it.
Perhaps this is the reason why Liu Yi rode his motorcycle to the appointment after get off work that night.
"Gu Chen." Seeing that Gu Chen was stunned, Police Officer Wang also reminded, "This Zhou Min and Xu Tiankai's whereabouts are unknown at present, and the two have time to work together."
"In addition to the friend of the deceased Liu Yi, Peng Yu, these people actually have to focus on investigation, and we can't just listen to their one-sided words."
"I understand." Of course Gu Chen understands that what Police Officer Wang said is also the direction that he needs to focus on investigation at present.
Of course, it also included the staff member that Gu Chen and the others asked at Dynasty Bar.
After all, what was going on in Dynasty Bar that night? The service worker has seen it.
But did he lie? Gu Chen couldn't be sure.
After all, judging by what happened afterwards, everything seemed to be in order.
But did Liu Yi's friends, like Peng Yu who borrowed money from him, lie? Gu Chen thinks, maybe there is.
After all, Peng Yu said that he had been drunk that night and fell by the river, and no one could testify.
Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the suspicion of the two exists.
Thinking of Liu Yi's body, the method of death has been determined for the time being, so Gu Chen continued to add:
"By the way, Gao Chuanfeng, the motorcycle of the deceased Liu Yi, I have asked our colleagues to transport it to the Municipal Bureau compound. You can go and check it carefully to see if there are any other problems?"
"Don't worry about it." Gao Chuanfeng, who was already a little hungry and dizzy, quickly agreed.
And at this time, the two forensic assistants who had lunch before also just brought everyone's lunch.
So everyone took off their protective clothing, went to the waiting room next to Ah, and started enjoying together.
Seeing Gao Chuanfeng staring at the dark circles under his eyes, Lu Weiwei couldn't help joking and said:
"By the way, you Gao Chuanfeng, why are your dark circles so serious? I haven't seen you like this before?"
"You guys still have the nerve to say it?" Gao Chuanfeng glanced at Lu Weiwei, then looked at Gu Chen and said:
"If you ask me, if everyone works as hard as your Gu Chen team, my dark circles are nothing, I will definitely be blinded by exhaustion."
"It's not that exaggerated, is it? Forensic Doctor Liu is also working hard, so he doesn't have dark circles." Gu Chen also had something to say, and refuted Gao Chuanfeng's behavior of throwing blame.
Gao Chuanfeng ate the chicken and mushroom stew in the bowl, and complained again and again: "My master is my master, and I am me."
"Before that, I thought that forensic science was awesome, especially after watching too many TV dramas about forensic science, I chose forensic science as soon as my brain got hot."
With a heavy sigh, Gao Chuanfeng also assumed a posture of epiphany, complaining again and again:
"But now I realize that, really, I may have been carried away by enthusiasm."
"At that time, when the master Liu Forensic Medicine entrusted me to complete the work independently, I was so happy that I was laughing in my dreams, but now, I feel completely numb."
Glancing at the two forensic assistants who had already had lunch and were chatting with each other in the corner of the waiting room, Gao Chuanfeng also snorted and said:
"I'm afraid I can only see the excitement at the beginning from these two assistants. Anyway, I'm getting less and less motivated than I was at the beginning."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Gao Chuanfeng said again: "Especially you, Gu Chen."
"Me?" Gu Chen, who was eating food, was suddenly stunned by Gao Chuanfeng's words, and asked weakly:
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Why is it okay?" Gao Chuanfeng took a few mouthfuls of rice and complained to Gu Chen:
"It should be around the same time that we joined the Jiangnan Police Force, right?"
"No, you should be half a year later than my Junior Brother Gu. When my Junior Brother Gu was working, you came to Liu Fayi as an assistant later." Lu Weiwei was very clear about the time when the two entered the police, and quickly reminded .
Gao Chuanfeng also nodded and said, "Well, let's say I joined the job half a year late. My Gao Chuanfeng's career plan can be seen at a glance."
"After a few years, that's it. From a forensic assistant to a formal forensic doctor, I'm looking at you, Gu Chen."
While talking, Gao Chuanfeng brought the topic to Gu Chen again.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Gao Chuanfeng meant.
But before Gu Chen opened his mouth, Gao Chuanfeng on the side said directly:
"You Gu Chen, when I was a forensic assistant, you were a trainee police officer. Now when I am a forensic doctor, you have become the acting deputy director of the Furong branch."
"By the way, why are you so lucky, kid? You took all the good things."
"Pfft!" Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's non-stop complaints, Yuan Shasha, who was on the side, understood the reason clearly, and couldn't help laughing and said:
"So that's what Brother Gao's troubles are? Of course, this can't be my senior brother Gu's luck. We solve all kinds of cases every day, and the level of hardship must be different from yours."
"Besides, Senior Brother Gu's good luck is based on his hard work. I believe that if Senior Senior Brother Gao loves his work as always, he will definitely achieve achievements in his own field."
"Well, what Xiao Yuan said is right." Just as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Police Officer Wang just finished his meal. He also piled up the lunch box and put it aside, and couldn't help but join in the joke:
"In fact, no matter how high-level the job is, it will breed a feeling of boredom after a long time, and you will feel that the work is just a repetitive mechanical labor."
"I had the same feeling as you before, and it was very strong. The so-called life is just a moment of joy, a moment of pain, and the rest is nothingness like water passing by."
"Yes." After lunch, Gu Chen also dipped his mouth with a napkin, and said involuntarily:
"Work is like this. The highlight moment is rare."
"This sense of accomplishment is like footprints on the beach, which will be washed away when the waves come."
"So in the seemingly repetitive work day after day, we often experience such a sense of emptiness and lack of meaning."
"So that some people will be cynical, muddleheaded, and look at everything we do with an indifferent attitude."
After a pause, Gu Chen also patted Gao Chuanfeng on the shoulder, saying meaningfully:
"So forensic doctor Gao, in fact, I often ask, can we be sure of the meaning of our profession?"
"Because only this sense of sacred meaning can lead us out of the quagmire of nothingness."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Gao Chuanfeng felt that everything Gu Chen said was right, after all, he was already the acting deputy director of the Furong branch.
When the leader speaks, there is a halo blessing.
I didn't feel anything before, but listening to Gu Chen's words, it seemed to make sense.
But now, Gao Chuanfeng actually has a sense of being looked down by Gu Chen and talking.
They also work for a few years, and those who are mixed in their profession are completely different from those of Gu Chen.
So he nodded helplessly, and echoed: "You, Gu Chen, are the acting deputy director of the sub-bureau, and you are right in everything you say."
"You can't say that." Seeing that Gao Chuanfeng was still a little emotional, it seemed that he felt a great sense of gap because of Gu Chen's promotion and his stagnation.
Therefore, Gu Chen also said meaningfully: "Someone asks a wise man, how can a drop of water not dry up? The wise man will say, throw it into the sea."
"Therefore, we need the power of the group, and we need to be role models for each other so that our hearts will not dry up."
"When you decide to be a person of integrity, you may attract people who are hesitant to act with integrity."
"That's why I always surround myself with a group of positive people. Everyone sometimes heals, often helps, and always comforts."
Patting Gao Chuanfeng on the shoulder, seeing that everyone has finished their meal, Gu Chen also said gratefully: "We have to go, call us anytime if there is any situation."
"Okay, I'll see you off, dear Comrade Deputy Director of the Furong Sub-bureau." Although there was a huge job gap in his heart, Gao Chuanfeng and Gu Chen were originally friends.
So she still deliberately teased Gu Chen in a strange tone.
...
...
After leaving the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, Gu Chen took everyone back to the Furong Branch to sort out the investigation materials.
After completing the data preparation, Gu Chen moved to the whiteboard and began to write all the people who were investigated by everyone on the whiteboard, and marked the relationship between several people.
Among them were the fisherman Xia Bin who found the body, the deceased Liu Yi, Xu Tiankai, and Zhou Min.
In addition, there was Zhao Lei, the waiter at Dynasty Bar, and Peng Yu, a friend of the deceased Liu Yi who was setting up a stall in the night market.
After completing all the picture group structures, Gu Chen also looked back at everyone.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and He Junchao were already sitting in a row.
Looking at the group of pictures that Gu Chen had drawn, everyone was lost in thought.
Gu Chen threw the oil-based pen aside, turned to look at everyone and said:
"From the current point of view, the relationship between these characters is like this. There are currently three people who are major suspects."
While speaking, Gu Chen tapped the names of Xu Tiankai, Zhou Min and Peng Yu heavily with the back of his hand and said:
"Xu Tiankai is the son of a neighbor of mine. He also studied in the same middle school as me."
"This person has his own personality and will come to trouble, but at present, it seems that he is heavily in debt and his life is a bit difficult."
"However, the specific motive for the action is unknown, but the deceased, Liu Yi, seems to be a rival in love with Xu Tiankai."
"Because the two of them have a common girlfriend, which is Zhou Min."
"But, who is Zhou Min's real girlfriend? I don't know yet."
"After all, Zhou Min's whereabouts are unknown now, but what is certain is that before Zhou Ming disappeared, she stayed with Xu Tiankai, and the two disappeared at the same time."
"Gu Chen." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, He Junchao asked, "Since you and this Xu Tiankai know each other, didn't you see what's wrong with him?"
"To be honest, no." Facing He Junchao's question, Gu Chen could only shake his head.
He Junchao hesitated for two seconds, and then said: "Hearing your explanation, I feel that this Xu Tiankai has a big problem with his character. Besides writing a love letter to Zhou Min in junior high school, what other outrageous things do you think this guy has done?" No?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "No, although he has a flamboyant personality, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary except for writing love letters, being caught by the headmaster, and having self-criticism in front of all the teachers and students in the school."
"That is to say, this Xu Tiankai was not bad at the beginning?" Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It can be understood in this way."
"The character and character at the beginning were in the student days. If you enter the society now, who knows what your character will be like?" Officer Wang took the topic and expressed his own opinion:
"Let me just say this, when people's expectations continue to fall, their thinking will also change."
"It's like, the more money is lacking in the age, the less moral and bottom line people have. If life is not guaranteed, there will only be more and more magical things without bottom line."
"And the root of these magics are wolves who can't eat sheep."
"So, what Brother Wang means is that when Xu Tiankai was cornered by debts, Xu Tiankai was the wolf that couldn't eat the sheep?"
"Well, that's the right understanding." Officer Wang nodded silently, and continued:
"In general, it's like someone asking you, what is your dream? It's a bit ironic to talk about this topic now."
"The so-called reality has gradually become magical, and hopes have gradually shrunk. It seems that ideals and reality can never be balanced."
"That's right." Hearing Officer Wang's analogy, Gu Chen also agreed:
"Reality is like a magnificent mountain villa. Although it is gorgeous and safe, we still can't see what it looks like behind the mountain."
"And dreams are like the invisible sun, which scorches my unwilling heart all the time."
"Just like a movie can't just look at the ending, those twists and turns and bizarre processes are its true meaning."
"The same is true for dreams. It is not only meaningful when it is realized. Every piece of scenery on the road to pursue dreams is its meaning."
Walking back and forth in front of the crowd, Gu Chen also thought about it and said, "When I was on campus with Xu Tiankai, we met each other many times."
"I remember that once during class, I went to the teacher's office and brought some materials for the teacher."
"When passing by Xu Tiankai's class, I found Xu Tiankai standing on the seat, answering the teacher's questions."
"At that time, he told the teacher confidently that his dream was to be a superhero to save the world. The teacher said that although his ideal was good, it was far away and empty."
"Later, a few days ago, when I rescued him in the alley, he told me that now his dream is to enjoy every little joy in life, which is simple and realistic."
"Hehe, this is the gap." Officer Wang said, shaking his fingers:
"So Gu Chen, you may have a little bit of your own emotion in your view of Xu Tiankai."
"So, you can't see through Xu Tiankai's hypocritical mask, because it has emotions, so you start to become less objective, so that you are deceived by Xu Tiankai, but you can't see the problem."
"Old Wang, is it as exaggerated as you said?" Seeing Officer Wang began to tease Gu Chen's objective judgment, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but refute.
But Gu Chen in front of the whiteboard interrupted: "Senior Sister Lu, what Brother Wang said is correct, you let Brother Wang continue."
"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen had said so, Lu Weiwei no longer refuted, and said angrily to Police Officer Wang:
"Then you, the old king, have explained why."
"What's the matter?" Police officer Wang folded his arms and leaned on his seat, talking eloquently:
"In my opinion, this Xu Tiankai is good at disguising. As for the things he said to Gu Chen, such as being in debt for his girlfriend, it feels like he made it up to a large extent."
Turning his head to look at the crowd, Police Officer Wang also gave an example: "Everyone, let me give you an example. Everyone knows Kong Rong, right?"
"Yeah, it's Kong Rong who gave up pears, right?" Yuan Shasha said.
Police Officer Wang nodded slightly, then waved his hands and said, "That's right, this is Kong Rong I'm talking about."
"But what does this have to do with Xu Tiankai?" He Junchao felt confused when he heard it.
Officer Wang gave a "tsk" and continued to explain:
"Anyway, when I first thought of Kong Rong giving up pears, I couldn't understand why there is such a thing as Kong Rong giving up pears? Why is the moral level so high? But why can't I do it?"
"Because you, Old Wang, don't have such a noble character." Lu Weiwei said jokingly.
"No!" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Police Officer Wang waved his hand and refused: "That's not the problem, the problem is, unless I'm full, will I give you the pear?"
"I haven't even eaten a pear yet, so why should I give it up to you? And it has been remembered by people for thousands of years. How can this trivial matter be declared so powerful? It has become a household name."
Seeing that everyone was confused, Officer Wang looked around and asked again, "Excuse me, what do you think?"
"What do you think? What do you think?" Lu Weiwei thought for a long time, but she didn't know what Police Officer Wang wanted to express?
But Gu Chen guessed and said, "Senior Brother Wang, you mean that Kong Rong is very thoughtful?"
"Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to see the key to his problem, Police Officer Wang flicked his fingers and said involuntarily:
"Then there is only one possibility, and that is, Kong Rong may be able to read people's minds."
"If he knows, if he gives this pear to his brother, his father will reward him."
"In other words, he has already figured it out, and his father just wants him to share it."
"It is certain that as long as Kong Rong shares a pear with his brother, he will get some reward from his father, so do you think he will let it?"
Before everyone could say anything, Police Officer Wang justified himself: "It will definitely, maybe if you give up this pear, he can get a lot of other pears, and he can also get his father's praise by the way. Don't you think this is a big profit?"
"So if this is the case, do you think there will be a second story about pears in human history?"
The scene fell into dead silence again.
However, within a short while, Gu Chen thought about it and said, "Yes, there is a story about pears in Augustine's Confessions."
"Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen is very knowledgeable after all, Police Officer Wang also nodded in agreement.
But Gu Chen thought about it, but was a little surprised: "But, this is a story about stealing pears?"
"That's what I'm talking about." Police officer Wang also confirmed again, and also rolled his chin at Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen, you might as well explain to everyone the story about pears in this "Confessions"."
When Gu Chen heard what Police Officer Wang said, he also nodded slightly, and then, relying on his master-level memory, he shared with everyone:
"I remember that Augustine said in the "Confessions" that when he was a child, he went to steal pears with a group of children, and he also explained why he stole pears? It was not for eating."
"It's not for eating?" Lu Weiwei heard Gu Chen's remarks, and she also used her imagination: "Could it be to sell for money, and then buy what you like to eat?"
"Hey, Lu Weiwei, why do you only think about eating?" Listening to Lu Weiwei's weird conjecture, Police Officer Wang shook his head again and again.
Lu Weiwei curled her lips: "I'm just talking casually."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei also reminded, "Junior Brother Gu, it's up to you."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued, "Because after he took a few bites, he threw it into the pigsty and gave it to the pigs to eat. He said he enjoyed the pleasure of stealing."
"Enjoy the thrill of theft? My God! Is he so perverted?" Yuan Shasha, who was on the side, was also baffled by this kind of thinking.
He Junchao was also speechless: "Is this brain sick?"
"Let's not talk about this first." Seeing that everyone had opinions, Police Officer Wang also reminded:
"Let me ask you now, which of these two pear stories do you think is more real?"
"Did Kong Rong make the pear real? Or is Augustine stealing the pear more real?"
The voice of Police Officer Wang fell, and the scene fell into thinking again.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Gu Chen crossed his arms and said slowly:
"Personally, I think Augustine stealing pears is more real."
"Yes." What Police Officer Wang actually wanted was Gu Chen's words, and he also vowed:
"Gu Chen is right. In fact, Augustine stealing pears is more real."
Pointing to himself, Police Officer Wang said again: "Let's take me as an example, because I knew from a young age that I might not be a good boy."
"I should rely on the strict control of my parents. If my parents didn't beat me, if my parents didn't care about me, I wouldn't be able to achieve anything today."
"So when we look at things, we need to analyze them from another angle. For example, Xu Tiankai, if he was in school, he would not be restricted by teachers and principals."
"Perhaps at that time, he had already gone astray. After all, the more flamboyant his personality, the easier it is for him to make a career."
"But if you show your personality too much and don't restrain yourself, you may be going down a wrong path."
Looking up at Gu Chen in front of him, Police Officer Wang also said meaningfully: "So Gu Chen, if you want to talk about your understanding of this neighbor Xu Tiankai, I think you should use the stories of these two "pears" to analyze. "
"The Xu Tiankai you think of now is more like the Xu Tiankai that Kong Rong gave pears to, but I hope you can change your perspective."
"Look at Xu Tiankai from the perspective of Augustine stealing pears, or in this way, you can stay awake from the smoke bombs released by Xu Tiankai."
After the voice fell, there was a heated discussion at the scene.
Gu Chen, who was standing in front of the whiteboard, was also lost in thought at the moment.
Indeed, what police officer Wang said just now made Gu Chen enlightened, as if he was released from the predicament.
This is like, when a case occurs, and the person involved is an acquaintance of oneself, he will look at the problem more or less emotionally.
At least when I was in the alley and rescued Xu Tiankai, did things happen as Xu Tiankai said? I haven't investigated it at all.
Although I also know that those people may be Xu Tiankai's creditors, but the truth, is there any truth as Xu Tiankai said? Gu Chen couldn't judge.
At this point, Gu Chen himself gave Xu Tiankai 1,000 yuan as a rescue out of sympathy for Xu Tiankai.
Of course, the 1,000 yuan rescue was also due to my sympathy when I saw Xu Tiankai's mother hesitate to buy discounted goods.
Gu Chen felt that he was indeed being emotional.
"I understand." At this moment, Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I think I should deny my previous views on Xu Tiankai."
"Including Xu Tiankai's creditors, I think if you want to make a breakthrough, you should start from the source of the problem, that is, start from Xu Tiankai's creditors, and investigate the details of these people."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang also snapped his fingers and said:
"That's right, this is what you should look like."
After thinking for a while, Police Officer Wang said again: "Oh, by the way, Gu Chen, when did those people block Xu Tiankai in the alley? The roadside surveillance must have captured it. You tell He Junchao the time and place, and the rest Leave it to He Junchao to solve it."
"No problem." Hearing Officer Wang's speech, Gu Chen immediately picked up the sticky note on the table, wrote down the time and place, and handed it to He Junchao:
"Brother He, please help me check the monitoring of the three men during this time period."
"No problem." After receiving the note from Gu Chen, He Junchao immediately returned to his seat, and soon began to search.
Since Gu Chen remembered the exact time, it was not difficult to investigate. He Junchao quickly got the result, and hurriedly said, "Gu Chen, come here and see if it's these people?"
Hearing He Junchao's remarks, other police officers including Gu Chen also gathered around He Junchao.
Gu Chen recognized those people at a glance, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's these people. They were the ones who beat Xu Tiankai violently that day."
"Check their identities." Lu Weiwei said.
He Junchao nodded silently, and immediately began to investigate.
He Junchao has long been familiar with this kind of investigation, and in a few moments, through technical means, he captured photos of the faces of several people.
And according to the information database, the specific appearance of several people was quickly screened out.
"We found it." He Junchao retrieved the results of the investigation and said:
"These people are some private mortgage lenders who opened a leasing and lending company near the Health Bureau."
After a pause, He Junchao quickly found out the specific content by investigating the information of several people.
So he continued: "These few people are not corporate legal persons, but this legal person called Qisheng Leasing and Lending Company is called Niu Geng."
"As for the few people who beat Xu Tiankai violently, they will frequently appear in Niu Geng Leasing and Lending Company. They are probably debt collectors under Niu Geng."
"That's right." Seeing that the address had come out, Gu Chen suggested, "Let's go to this Qisheng Leasing and Lending Company now, and meet this bullshit."
"See if you can find out something about Xu Tiankai from Niu Geng."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Seeing that the situation gradually became clear, Lu Weiwei immediately took off the single police equipment hanging on the wall, and said, "Let's go quickly."
...
...
According to the address provided by He Junchao, everyone drove all the way to the Health Bureau.
As for Niu Geng's leasing company, the storefront is opposite the bathroom.
After Gu Chen and the others parked the car, they got out of the car and came to the entrance of the company.
At this moment, there were also several luxury cars parked in front of the company, a Bentley and a Land Rover.
The appearance of Qisheng Leasing Company is also very grand, the decoration of the entrance alone is very luxurious.
When everyone walked into the rental company, a well-dressed and elegant female receptionist immediately spotted several people.
Seeing a few people wearing police uniforms, they seemed not surprised, and immediately stood up and said, "Comrade policemen, do you have an appointment?"
"You all have to make an appointment when you come here?" Yuan Shasha asked casually.
The female receptionist chuckled and explained, "Because most of the people who come here are looking for our boss, but our boss is usually busy with work and often talks about business."
"So, if there is no appointment, it will be difficult for me to arrange for you."
Glancing at the handsome and extraordinary Gu Chen in front of her, the woman at the front desk said softly, "So, police officer, do you have an appointment?"
"No, but we are here to handle the case." Gu Chen also explained the reason.
But the woman at the front desk was still unmoved and said: "Everyone who comes here has their own opinions, but there is only one boss. Really, if you can, please make an appointment, I..."
"Wait a minute." Seeing the airs of the female receptionist here, Lu Weiwei didn't want to spoil her, so she stepped forward and said:
"Our police are handling cases, when do we have to make an appointment with you? Let me ask you, is your boss Niu Geng around?"
Seeing the female receptionist with a straight face, as if unwilling to answer, Lu Weiwei continued to amplify her tone, and continued to ask her: "Is your boss, Niu Geng, here?"
"Yes." Seeing Lu Weiwei's imposing manner, the female receptionist couldn't help shrinking back.
In line with the principle of not conflicting with the police, she replied reluctantly: "Boss Niu is here, but I can meet with clients in the office, or can you wait downstairs for a while?"
"Alright." Seeing that Niu Geng was indeed busy, Gu Chen had no choice but to make a temporary compromise.
So under the arrangement of the female receptionist, several people came to a club-like area behind and sat down temporarily.
The female receptionist was also very polite, and immediately made tea for a few people, and also brought fruit plates for them, and then returned to the front desk workstation.
Police officer Wang looked at the magnificent decoration of the clubhouse, and couldn't help but wondered: "This company seems to be powerful, and the decoration is the same as that of high-end clubs. I don't know, I thought it was a KTV."
"What do you know? People's loan and leasing companies are compared with the word "hao". Lu Weiwei glanced at the direction of the door, and also reminded:
"Did you notice it when you came in just now?"
"I found it." Before Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Yuan Shasha echoed:
"There are two luxury cars at the door, one on the left and one on the right, a Bentley and a Range Rover. In fact, in my opinion, they are just giving this company a prestige."
After all, there are quite a few such leasing and lending companies in Jiangnan City, and most of them are in this situation.
The more powerful you are, the more you like to make your office more fancy.
Luxury cars are essential, otherwise how can you show your strength?
And often this kind of private lending company can earn a lot, especially the high interest rate, which is commonly known as usury.
Often many private businesses do not have another option for borrowing from banks.
And bank loans are often lent to large companies that do not need loans in the first place.
This also gives this kind of private lending opportunities to pick up the loopholes.
Therefore, in today's prosperous business, such leasing companies will bloom everywhere and make a lot of money.
And those who drive luxury cars and sports cars on the street are often the same kind of people.
However, in the final analysis, the lending company is also playing with cash flow, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
Many companies are involved in illegal fundraising, and many ordinary people believe in the so-called high rate of return and hand over their deposits to these seemingly powerful reception companies.
So that in the end, the bosses of these lending companies squandered all kinds of extravagance, and finally became unable to repay, so they ran away.
Everyone waited in the waiting area for nearly half an hour, but still no call from the front desk.
During this period, Gu Chen also used his master-level observation skills to hear the direction of the front desk and make phone calls from time to time.
Gu Chen also glanced at Yuan Shasha, and said, "Xiao Yuan, go ask the front desk, how long will it take for Boss Niu?"
"Yeah." Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Yuan Shasha stood up straight away, ready to walk to the front desk.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei also stood up and said in agreement, "Xiao Yuan, I'll go with you."
The two left the waiting area back and forth and came to the front desk.
Not long after, Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang heard Lu Weiwei's loud voice, as if they were negotiating fiercely with the front desk.
A few minutes later, Lu Weiwei returned to the waiting room again. She also raised her chin to Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
"It's done?" Police Officer Wang couldn't believe it.
Lu Weiwei snorted and said, "How can there be any reception? It feels like the front desk is wasting time."
"As soon as I said I couldn't wait, I would take the initiative to find Niu Geng. The front desk immediately gave up, and I called on the spot to ask for instructions."
"Then, did Niu Geng agree to meet?" Gu Chen asked.
Yuan Shasha on the side also nodded in agreement: "I agree."
"Ham! If we knew this, we wouldn't have to wait for him for half an hour. We feel like we've been tricked by this burdock. It's a big deal." Although he was upset, Officer Wang didn't want to vent his anger here.
So, under the leadership of the woman at the front desk, the four of them went upstairs together to the second floor.
The decoration here still continues the heroic style, and the whole decoration looks like a high-end club.
And this room feels like a KTV.
The woman at the front desk led them to the door of one of the rooms, knocked on the office door a few times, and whispered, "Boss Niu, they are here."
"Let them in." A middle-aged man's voice soon came from inside the house.
The female receptionist pushed open the door, gave up a body and said, "Guys, please come in."
Gu Chen walked into the room first, and saw a red-faced man with short hair in the luxuriously decorated office, his back was facing the door at the moment.
With a lit cigar in his left hand and a phone in his right hand, he seems to be still communicating with someone on the phone.
After seeing a few people brought into the office, the female receptionist greeted everyone to sit on the sofa, and she quickly made tea for the four of them, then carefully exited the room and gently closed the door.
"Okay, ok, ok, let's do it like this, haha, no problem, um, ok." After a while of phone communication, the middle-aged man with short hair hung up the phone, and then turned the swivel chair in the direction of Gu Chen.
Seeing that there were already four policemen sitting on the sofa at this moment, he put down his cell phone, stood up actively, and walked to Gu Chen and the others.
Gu Chen and the others also got up at the same time.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Police Officer, I've been talking about important things just now, so I can't receive a few of you, please don't take offense."
The man looked at Gu Chen and the others, and said some polite words.
Gu Chen also snorted, and straight to the point: "You are the boss here, Niu Geng?"
"Uh, my humble servant is Niu Geng, may I ask who are..."
When Niu Geng heard this, he also put on a polite gesture.
Before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei introduced Gu Chen directly:
"This is Gu Chen, the acting deputy director of our Furong branch. I'm Lu Weiwei from the criminal investigation team. This is Lao Wang, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team. This is Yuan Shasha from the criminal investigation team."
"Oh?" When Lu Weiwei introduced Gu Chen, she mentioned the position of acting deputy director of the Furong branch.
Niu Geng subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen's epaulettes, seeing that Gu Chen was the third-level police inspector, he immediately said puzzled, "You are...the deputy chief."
"I'm the acting deputy director." Gu Chen also echoed.
"Aiya." The red-faced burdock suddenly put on a look of surprise, and circled Gu Chen half a circle, with a look of disbelief:
"I have a lot of contact with the police, but this is the first time I have met a young deputy chief like you."
After thinking about it, Niu Geng also tentatively asked Gu Chen: "I don't know where your father is?"
I feel that Gu Chen is at the level of deputy director at a young age. Presumably Gu Chen's father should have a high position. Isn't this a well-connected household?
But Gu Chen didn't respond, but got down to business: "Mr. Niu, let's talk about business."
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't seem to give face, but looking at the few policemen around Gu Chen, their uniforms and sirens were very authentic, and Niu Geng immediately became suspicious.
As the boss of a leasing and lending company with a certain scale, he also has a group of so-called "professional" debt collection teams.
Naturally, Niu Geng also came into contact with many so-called uniformed personnel.
But Gu Chen was a third-level police inspector at a young age, and he was also the deputy director of the sub-bureau.
Niu Geng's first feeling was that he didn't believe it.
What's more, the policeman named Lao Wang behind him is obviously much older than Gu Chen, but his position is not as good as the young Gu Chen, which makes Niu Geng suspicious.
After all, these days there are quite a few people who pretend to be policemen, come to our company to make trouble, all kinds of ghosts and monsters, and scare him, but Niu Geng is not a vegetarian even today.
So when he saw Gu Chen whose police rank and age obviously did not match, Niu Geng's first reaction was, could this group of people be some kind of enemy again, sending people pretending to be policemen to blackmail him?

But it doesn't mean that there is no such possibility.
After all, the customers in the bar have always been regular customers, and when Xu Tiankai came to Dynasty Bar, he blatantly called Zhou Min away.
Gu Chen couldn't believe that none of the customers and service staff in the bar saw it.
Perhaps this is the reason why Liu Yi rode his motorcycle to the appointment after get off work that night.
"Gu Chen." Seeing that Gu Chen was stunned, Police Officer Wang also reminded, "This Zhou Min and Xu Tiankai's whereabouts are unknown at present, and the two have time to work together."
"In addition to the friend of the deceased Liu Yi, Peng Yu, these people actually have to focus on investigation, and we can't just listen to their one-sided words."
"I understand." Of course Gu Chen understands that what Police Officer Wang said is also the direction that he needs to focus on investigation at present.
Of course, it also included the staff member that Gu Chen and the others asked at Dynasty Bar.
After all, what was going on in Dynasty Bar that night? The service worker has seen it.
But did he lie? Gu Chen couldn't be sure.
After all, judging by what happened afterwards, everything seemed to be in order.
But did Liu Yi's friends, like Peng Yu who borrowed money from him, lie? Gu Chen thinks, maybe there is.
After all, Peng Yu said that he had been drunk that night and fell by the river, and no one could testify.
Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the suspicion of the two exists.
Thinking of Liu Yi's body, the method of death has been determined for the time being, so Gu Chen continued to add:
"By the way, Gao Chuanfeng, the motorcycle of the deceased Liu Yi, I have asked our colleagues to transport it to the Municipal Bureau compound. You can go and check it carefully to see if there are any other problems?"
"Don't worry about it." Gao Chuanfeng, who was already a little hungry and dizzy, quickly agreed.
And at this time, the two forensic assistants who had lunch before also just brought everyone's lunch.
So everyone took off their protective clothing, went to the waiting room next to Ah, and started enjoying together.
Seeing Gao Chuanfeng staring at the dark circles under his eyes, Lu Weiwei couldn't help joking and said:
"By the way, you Gao Chuanfeng, why are your dark circles so serious? I haven't seen you like this before?"
"You guys still have the nerve to say it?" Gao Chuanfeng glanced at Lu Weiwei, then looked at Gu Chen and said:
"If you ask me, if everyone works as hard as your Gu Chen team, my dark circles are nothing, I will definitely be blinded by exhaustion."
"It's not that exaggerated, is it? Forensic Doctor Liu is also working hard, so he doesn't have dark circles." Gu Chen also had something to say, and refuted Gao Chuanfeng's behavior of throwing blame.
Gao Chuanfeng ate the chicken and mushroom stew in the bowl, and complained again and again: "My master is my master, and I am me."
"Before that, I thought that forensic science was awesome, especially after watching too many TV dramas about forensic science, I chose forensic science as soon as my brain got hot."
With a heavy sigh, Gao Chuanfeng also assumed a posture of epiphany, complaining again and again:
"But now I realize that, really, I may have been carried away by enthusiasm."
"At that time, when the master Liu Forensic Medicine entrusted me to complete the work independently, I was so happy that I was laughing in my dreams, but now, I feel completely numb."
Glancing at the two forensic assistants who had already had lunch and were chatting with each other in the corner of the waiting room, Gao Chuanfeng also snorted and said:
"I'm afraid I can only see the excitement at the beginning from these two assistants. Anyway, I'm getting less and less motivated than I was at the beginning."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Gao Chuanfeng said again: "Especially you, Gu Chen."
"Me?" Gu Chen, who was eating food, was suddenly stunned by Gao Chuanfeng's words, and asked weakly:
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Why is it okay?" Gao Chuanfeng took a few mouthfuls of rice and complained to Gu Chen:
"It should be around the same time that we joined the Jiangnan Police Force, right?"
"No, you should be half a year later than my Junior Brother Gu. When my Junior Brother Gu was working, you came to Liu Fayi as an assistant later." Lu Weiwei was very clear about the time when the two entered the police, and quickly reminded .
Gao Chuanfeng also nodded and said, "Well, let's say I joined the job half a year late. My Gao Chuanfeng's career plan can be seen at a glance."
"After a few years, that's it. From a forensic assistant to a formal forensic doctor, I'm looking at you, Gu Chen."
While talking, Gao Chuanfeng brought the topic to Gu Chen again.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Gao Chuanfeng meant.
But before Gu Chen opened his mouth, Gao Chuanfeng on the side said directly:
"You Gu Chen, when I was a forensic assistant, you were a trainee police officer. Now when I am a forensic doctor, you have become the acting deputy director of the Furong branch."
"By the way, why are you so lucky, kid? You took all the good things."
"Pfft!" Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's non-stop complaints, Yuan Shasha, who was on the side, understood the reason clearly, and couldn't help laughing and said:
"So that's what Brother Gao's troubles are? Of course, this can't be my senior brother Gu's luck. We solve all kinds of cases every day, and the level of hardship must be different from yours."
"Besides, Senior Brother Gu's good luck is based on his hard work. I believe that if Senior Senior Brother Gao loves his work as always, he will definitely achieve achievements in his own field."
"Well, what Xiao Yuan said is right." Just as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Police Officer Wang just finished his meal. He also piled up the lunch box and put it aside, and couldn't help but join in the joke:
"In fact, no matter how high-level the job is, it will breed a feeling of boredom after a long time, and you will feel that the work is just a repetitive mechanical labor."
"I had the same feeling as you before, and it was very strong. The so-called life is just a moment of joy, a moment of pain, and the rest is nothingness like water passing by."
"Yes." After lunch, Gu Chen also dipped his mouth with a napkin, and said involuntarily:
"Work is like this. The highlight moment is rare."
"This sense of accomplishment is like footprints on the beach, which will be washed away when the waves come."
"So in the seemingly repetitive work day after day, we often experience such a sense of emptiness and lack of meaning."
"So that some people will be cynical, muddleheaded, and look at everything we do with an indifferent attitude."
After a pause, Gu Chen also patted Gao Chuanfeng on the shoulder, saying meaningfully:
"So forensic doctor Gao, in fact, I often ask, can we be sure of the meaning of our profession?"
"Because only this sense of sacred meaning can lead us out of the quagmire of nothingness."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Gao Chuanfeng felt that everything Gu Chen said was right, after all, he was already the acting deputy director of the Furong branch.
When the leader speaks, there is a halo blessing.
I didn't feel anything before, but listening to Gu Chen's words, it seemed to make sense.
But now, Gao Chuanfeng actually has a sense of being looked down by Gu Chen and talking.
They also work for a few years, and those who are mixed in their profession are completely different from those of Gu Chen.
So he nodded helplessly, and echoed: "You, Gu Chen, are the acting deputy director of the sub-bureau, and you are right in everything you say."
"You can't say that." Seeing that Gao Chuanfeng was still a little emotional, it seemed that he felt a great sense of gap because of Gu Chen's promotion and his stagnation.
Therefore, Gu Chen also said meaningfully: "Someone asks a wise man, how can a drop of water not dry up? The wise man will say, throw it into the sea."
"Therefore, we need the power of the group, and we need to be role models for each other so that our hearts will not dry up."
"When you decide to be a person of integrity, you may attract people who are hesitant to act with integrity."
"That's why I always surround myself with a group of positive people. Everyone sometimes heals, often helps, and always comforts."
Patting Gao Chuanfeng on the shoulder, seeing that everyone has finished their meal, Gu Chen also said gratefully: "We have to go, call us anytime if there is any situation."
"Okay, I'll see you off, dear Comrade Deputy Director of the Furong Sub-bureau." Although there was a huge job gap in his heart, Gao Chuanfeng and Gu Chen were originally friends.
So she still deliberately teased Gu Chen in a strange tone.
...
...
After leaving the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, Gu Chen took everyone back to the Furong Branch to sort out the investigation materials.
After completing the data preparation, Gu Chen moved to the whiteboard and began to write all the people who were investigated by everyone on the whiteboard, and marked the relationship between several people.
Among them were the fisherman Xia Bin who found the body, the deceased Liu Yi, Xu Tiankai, and Zhou Min.
In addition, there was Zhao Lei, the waiter at Dynasty Bar, and Peng Yu, a friend of the deceased Liu Yi who was setting up a stall in the night market.
After completing all the picture group structures, Gu Chen also looked back at everyone.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and He Junchao were already sitting in a row.
Looking at the group of pictures that Gu Chen had drawn, everyone was lost in thought.
Gu Chen threw the oil-based pen aside, turned to look at everyone and said:
"From the current point of view, the relationship between these characters is like this. There are currently three people who are major suspects."
While speaking, Gu Chen tapped the names of Xu Tiankai, Zhou Min and Peng Yu heavily with the back of his hand and said:
"Xu Tiankai is the son of a neighbor of mine. He also studied in the same middle school as me."
"This person has his own personality and will come to trouble, but at present, it seems that he is heavily in debt and his life is a bit difficult."
"However, the specific motive for the action is unknown, but the deceased, Liu Yi, seems to be a rival in love with Xu Tiankai."
"Because the two of them have a common girlfriend, which is Zhou Min."
"But, who is Zhou Min's real girlfriend? I don't know yet."
"After all, Zhou Min's whereabouts are unknown now, but what is certain is that before Zhou Ming disappeared, she stayed with Xu Tiankai, and the two disappeared at the same time."
"Gu Chen." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, He Junchao asked, "Since you and this Xu Tiankai know each other, didn't you see what's wrong with him?"
"To be honest, no." Facing He Junchao's question, Gu Chen could only shake his head.
He Junchao hesitated for two seconds, and then said: "Hearing your explanation, I feel that this Xu Tiankai has a big problem with his character. Besides writing a love letter to Zhou Min in junior high school, what other outrageous things do you think this guy has done?" No?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "No, although he has a flamboyant personality, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary except for writing love letters, being caught by the headmaster, and having self-criticism in front of all the teachers and students in the school."
"That is to say, this Xu Tiankai was not bad at the beginning?" Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It can be understood in this way."
"The character and character at the beginning were in the student days. If you enter the society now, who knows what your character will be like?" Officer Wang took the topic and expressed his own opinion:
"Let me just say this, when people's expectations continue to fall, their thinking will also change."
"It's like, the more money is lacking in the age, the less moral and bottom line people have. If life is not guaranteed, there will only be more and more magical things without bottom line."
"And the root of these magics are wolves who can't eat sheep."
"So, what Brother Wang means is that when Xu Tiankai was cornered by debts, Xu Tiankai was the wolf that couldn't eat the sheep?"
"Well, that's the right understanding." Officer Wang nodded silently, and continued:
"In general, it's like someone asking you, what is your dream? It's a bit ironic to talk about this topic now."
"The so-called reality has gradually become magical, and hopes have gradually shrunk. It seems that ideals and reality can never be balanced."
"That's right." Hearing Officer Wang's analogy, Gu Chen also agreed:
"Reality is like a magnificent mountain villa. Although it is gorgeous and safe, we still can't see what it looks like behind the mountain."
"And dreams are like the invisible sun, which scorches my unwilling heart all the time."
"Just like a movie can't just look at the ending, those twists and turns and bizarre processes are its true meaning."
"The same is true for dreams. It is not only meaningful when it is realized. Every piece of scenery on the road to pursue dreams is its meaning."
Walking back and forth in front of the crowd, Gu Chen also thought about it and said, "When I was on campus with Xu Tiankai, we met each other many times."
"I remember that once during class, I went to the teacher's office and brought some materials for the teacher."
"When passing by Xu Tiankai's class, I found Xu Tiankai standing on the seat, answering the teacher's questions."
"At that time, he told the teacher confidently that his dream was to be a superhero to save the world. The teacher said that although his ideal was good, it was far away and empty."
"Later, a few days ago, when I rescued him in the alley, he told me that now his dream is to enjoy every little joy in life, which is simple and realistic."
"Hehe, this is the gap." Officer Wang said, shaking his fingers:
"So Gu Chen, you may have a little bit of your own emotion in your view of Xu Tiankai."
"So, you can't see through Xu Tiankai's hypocritical mask, because it has emotions, so you start to become less objective, so that you are deceived by Xu Tiankai, but you can't see the problem."
"Old Wang, is it as exaggerated as you said?" Seeing Officer Wang began to tease Gu Chen's objective judgment, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but refute.
But Gu Chen in front of the whiteboard interrupted: "Senior Sister Lu, what Brother Wang said is correct, you let Brother Wang continue."
"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen had said so, Lu Weiwei no longer refuted, and said angrily to Police Officer Wang:
"Then you, the old king, have explained why."
"What's the matter?" Police officer Wang folded his arms and leaned on his seat, talking eloquently:
"In my opinion, this Xu Tiankai is good at disguising. As for the things he said to Gu Chen, such as being in debt for his girlfriend, it feels like he made it up to a large extent."
Turning his head to look at the crowd, Police Officer Wang also gave an example: "Everyone, let me give you an example. Everyone knows Kong Rong, right?"
"Yeah, it's Kong Rong who gave up pears, right?" Yuan Shasha said.
Police Officer Wang nodded slightly, then waved his hands and said, "That's right, this is Kong Rong I'm talking about."
"But what does this have to do with Xu Tiankai?" He Junchao felt confused when he heard it.
Officer Wang gave a "tsk" and continued to explain:
"Anyway, when I first thought of Kong Rong giving up pears, I couldn't understand why there is such a thing as Kong Rong giving up pears? Why is the moral level so high? But why can't I do it?"
"Because you, Old Wang, don't have such a noble character." Lu Weiwei said jokingly.
"No!" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Police Officer Wang waved his hand and refused: "That's not the problem, the problem is, unless I'm full, will I give you the pear?"
"I haven't even eaten a pear yet, so why should I give it up to you? And it has been remembered by people for thousands of years. How can this trivial matter be declared so powerful? It has become a household name."
Seeing that everyone was confused, Officer Wang looked around and asked again, "Excuse me, what do you think?"
"What do you think? What do you think?" Lu Weiwei thought for a long time, but she didn't know what Police Officer Wang wanted to express?
But Gu Chen guessed and said, "Senior Brother Wang, you mean that Kong Rong is very thoughtful?"
"Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to see the key to his problem, Police Officer Wang flicked his fingers and said involuntarily:
"Then there is only one possibility, and that is, Kong Rong may be able to read people's minds."
"If he knows, if he gives this pear to his brother, his father will reward him."
"In other words, he has already figured it out, and his father just wants him to share it."
"It is certain that as long as Kong Rong shares a pear with his brother, he will get some reward from his father, so do you think he will let it?"
Before everyone could say anything, Police Officer Wang justified himself: "It will definitely, maybe if you give up this pear, he can get a lot of other pears, and he can also get his father's praise by the way. Don't you think this is a big profit?"
"So if this is the case, do you think there will be a second story about pears in human history?"
The scene fell into dead silence again.
However, within a short while, Gu Chen thought about it and said, "Yes, there is a story about pears in Augustine's Confessions."
"Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen is very knowledgeable after all, Police Officer Wang also nodded in agreement.
But Gu Chen thought about it, but was a little surprised: "But, this is a story about stealing pears?"
"That's what I'm talking about." Police officer Wang also confirmed again, and also rolled his chin at Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen, you might as well explain to everyone the story about pears in this "Confessions"."
When Gu Chen heard what Police Officer Wang said, he also nodded slightly, and then, relying on his master-level memory, he shared with everyone:
"I remember that Augustine said in the "Confessions" that when he was a child, he went to steal pears with a group of children, and he also explained why he stole pears? It was not for eating."
"It's not for eating?" Lu Weiwei heard Gu Chen's remarks, and she also used her imagination: "Could it be to sell for money, and then buy what you like to eat?"
"Hey, Lu Weiwei, why do you only think about eating?" Listening to Lu Weiwei's weird conjecture, Police Officer Wang shook his head again and again.
Lu Weiwei curled her lips: "I'm just talking casually."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei also reminded, "Junior Brother Gu, it's up to you."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued, "Because after he took a few bites, he threw it into the pigsty and gave it to the pigs to eat. He said he enjoyed the pleasure of stealing."
"Enjoy the thrill of theft? My God! Is he so perverted?" Yuan Shasha, who was on the side, was also baffled by this kind of thinking.
He Junchao was also speechless: "Is this brain sick?"
"Let's not talk about this first." Seeing that everyone had opinions, Police Officer Wang also reminded:
"Let me ask you now, which of these two pear stories do you think is more real?"
"Did Kong Rong make the pear real? Or is Augustine stealing the pear more real?"
The voice of Police Officer Wang fell, and the scene fell into thinking again.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Gu Chen crossed his arms and said slowly:
"Personally, I think Augustine stealing pears is more real."
"Yes." What Police Officer Wang actually wanted was Gu Chen's words, and he also vowed:
"Gu Chen is right. In fact, Augustine stealing pears is more real."
Pointing to himself, Police Officer Wang said again: "Let's take me as an example, because I knew from a young age that I might not be a good boy."
"I should rely on the strict control of my parents. If my parents didn't beat me, if my parents didn't care about me, I wouldn't be able to achieve anything today."
"So when we look at things, we need to analyze them from another angle. For example, Xu Tiankai, if he was in school, he would not be restricted by teachers and principals."
"Perhaps at that time, he had already gone astray. After all, the more flamboyant his personality, the easier it is for him to make a career."
"But if you show your personality too much and don't restrain yourself, you may be going down a wrong path."
Looking up at Gu Chen in front of him, Police Officer Wang also said meaningfully: "So Gu Chen, if you want to talk about your understanding of this neighbor Xu Tiankai, I think you should use the stories of these two "pears" to analyze. "
"The Xu Tiankai you think of now is more like the Xu Tiankai that Kong Rong gave pears to, but I hope you can change your perspective."
"Look at Xu Tiankai from the perspective of Augustine stealing pears, or in this way, you can stay awake from the smoke bombs released by Xu Tiankai."
After the voice fell, there was a heated discussion at the scene.
Gu Chen, who was standing in front of the whiteboard, was also lost in thought at the moment.
Indeed, what police officer Wang said just now made Gu Chen enlightened, as if he was released from the predicament.
This is like, when a case occurs, and the person involved is an acquaintance of oneself, he will look at the problem more or less emotionally.
At least when I was in the alley and rescued Xu Tiankai, did things happen as Xu Tiankai said? I haven't investigated it at all.
Although I also know that those people may be Xu Tiankai's creditors, but the truth, is there any truth as Xu Tiankai said? Gu Chen couldn't judge.
At this point, Gu Chen himself gave Xu Tiankai 1,000 yuan as a rescue out of sympathy for Xu Tiankai.
Of course, the 1,000 yuan rescue was also due to my sympathy when I saw Xu Tiankai's mother hesitate to buy discounted goods.
Gu Chen felt that he was indeed being emotional.
"I understand." At this moment, Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I think I should deny my previous views on Xu Tiankai."
"Including Xu Tiankai's creditors, I think if you want to make a breakthrough, you should start from the source of the problem, that is, start from Xu Tiankai's creditors, and investigate the details of these people."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang also snapped his fingers and said:
"That's right, this is what you should look like."
After thinking for a while, Police Officer Wang said again: "Oh, by the way, Gu Chen, when did those people block Xu Tiankai in the alley? The roadside surveillance must have captured it. You tell He Junchao the time and place, and the rest Leave it to He Junchao to solve it."
"No problem." Hearing Officer Wang's speech, Gu Chen immediately picked up the sticky note on the table, wrote down the time and place, and handed it to He Junchao:
"Brother He, please help me check the monitoring of the three men during this time period."
"No problem." After receiving the note from Gu Chen, He Junchao immediately returned to his seat, and soon began to search.
Since Gu Chen remembered the exact time, it was not difficult to investigate. He Junchao quickly got the result, and hurriedly said, "Gu Chen, come here and see if it's these people?"
Hearing He Junchao's remarks, other police officers including Gu Chen also gathered around He Junchao.
Gu Chen recognized those people at a glance, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's these people. They were the ones who beat Xu Tiankai violently that day."
"Check their identities." Lu Weiwei said.
He Junchao nodded silently, and immediately began to investigate.
He Junchao has long been familiar with this kind of investigation, and in a few moments, through technical means, he captured photos of the faces of several people.
And according to the information database, the specific appearance of several people was quickly screened out.
"We found it." He Junchao retrieved the results of the investigation and said:
"These people are some private mortgage lenders who opened a leasing and lending company near the Health Bureau."
After a pause, He Junchao quickly found out the specific content by investigating the information of several people.
So he continued: "These few people are not corporate legal persons, but this legal person called Qisheng Leasing and Lending Company is called Niu Geng."
"As for the few people who beat Xu Tiankai violently, they will frequently appear in Niu Geng Leasing and Lending Company. They are probably debt collectors under Niu Geng."
"That's right." Seeing that the address had come out, Gu Chen suggested, "Let's go to this Qisheng Leasing and Lending Company now, and meet this bullshit."
"See if you can find out something about Xu Tiankai from Niu Geng."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Seeing that the situation gradually became clear, Lu Weiwei immediately took off the single police equipment hanging on the wall, and said, "Let's go quickly."
...
...
According to the address provided by He Junchao, everyone drove all the way to the Health Bureau.
As for Niu Geng's leasing company, the storefront is opposite the bathroom.
After Gu Chen and the others parked the car, they got out of the car and came to the entrance of the company.
At this moment, there were also several luxury cars parked in front of the company, a Bentley and a Land Rover.
The appearance of Qisheng Leasing Company is also very grand, the decoration of the entrance alone is very luxurious.
When everyone walked into the rental company, a well-dressed and elegant female receptionist immediately spotted several people.
Seeing a few people wearing police uniforms, they seemed not surprised, and immediately stood up and said, "Comrade policemen, do you have an appointment?"
"You all have to make an appointment when you come here?" Yuan Shasha asked casually.
The female receptionist chuckled and explained, "Because most of the people who come here are looking for our boss, but our boss is usually busy with work and often talks about business."
"So, if there is no appointment, it will be difficult for me to arrange for you."
Glancing at the handsome and extraordinary Gu Chen in front of her, the woman at the front desk said softly, "So, police officer, do you have an appointment?"
"No, but we are here to handle the case." Gu Chen also explained the reason.
But the woman at the front desk was still unmoved and said: "Everyone who comes here has their own opinions, but there is only one boss. Really, if you can, please make an appointment, I..."
"Wait a minute." Seeing the airs of the female receptionist here, Lu Weiwei didn't want to spoil her, so she stepped forward and said:
"Our police are handling cases, when do we have to make an appointment with you? Let me ask you, is your boss Niu Geng around?"
Seeing the female receptionist with a straight face, as if unwilling to answer, Lu Weiwei continued to amplify her tone, and continued to ask her: "Is your boss, Niu Geng, here?"
"Yes." Seeing Lu Weiwei's imposing manner, the female receptionist couldn't help shrinking back.
In line with the principle of not conflicting with the police, she replied reluctantly: "Boss Niu is here, but I can meet with clients in the office, or can you wait downstairs for a while?"
"Alright." Seeing that Niu Geng was indeed busy, Gu Chen had no choice but to make a temporary compromise.
So under the arrangement of the female receptionist, several people came to a club-like area behind and sat down temporarily.
The female receptionist was also very polite, and immediately made tea for a few people, and also brought fruit plates for them, and then returned to the front desk workstation.
Police officer Wang looked at the magnificent decoration of the clubhouse, and couldn't help but wondered: "This company seems to be powerful, and the decoration is the same as that of high-end clubs. I don't know, I thought it was a KTV."
"What do you know? People's loan and leasing companies are compared with the word "hao". Lu Weiwei glanced at the direction of the door, and also reminded:
"Did you notice it when you came in just now?"
"I found it." Before Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Yuan Shasha echoed:
"There are two luxury cars at the door, one on the left and one on the right, a Bentley and a Range Rover. In fact, in my opinion, they are just giving this company a prestige."
After all, there are quite a few such leasing and lending companies in Jiangnan City, and most of them are in this situation.
The more powerful you are, the more you like to make your office more fancy.
Luxury cars are essential, otherwise how can you show your strength?
And often this kind of private lending company can earn a lot, especially the high interest rate, which is commonly known as usury.
Often many private businesses do not have another option for borrowing from banks.
And bank loans are often lent to large companies that do not need loans in the first place.
This also gives this kind of private lending opportunities to pick up the loopholes.
Therefore, in today's prosperous business, such leasing companies will bloom everywhere and make a lot of money.
And those who drive luxury cars and sports cars on the street are often the same kind of people.
However, in the final analysis, the lending company is also playing with cash flow, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
Many companies are involved in illegal fundraising, and many ordinary people believe in the so-called high rate of return and hand over their deposits to these seemingly powerful reception companies.
So that in the end, the bosses of these lending companies squandered all kinds of extravagance, and finally became unable to repay, so they ran away.
Everyone waited in the waiting area for nearly half an hour, but still no call from the front desk.
During this period, Gu Chen also used his master-level observation skills to hear the direction of the front desk and make phone calls from time to time.
Gu Chen also glanced at Yuan Shasha, and said, "Xiao Yuan, go ask the front desk, how long will it take for Boss Niu?"
"Yeah." Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Yuan Shasha stood up straight away, ready to walk to the front desk.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei also stood up and said in agreement, "Xiao Yuan, I'll go with you."
The two left the waiting area back and forth and came to the front desk.
Not long after, Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang heard Lu Weiwei's loud voice, as if they were negotiating fiercely with the front desk.
A few minutes later, Lu Weiwei returned to the waiting room again. She also raised her chin to Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
"It's done?" Police Officer Wang couldn't believe it.
Lu Weiwei snorted and said, "How can there be any reception? It feels like the front desk is wasting time."
"As soon as I said I couldn't wait, I would take the initiative to find Niu Geng. The front desk immediately gave up, and I called on the spot to ask for instructions."
"Then, did Niu Geng agree to meet?" Gu Chen asked.
Yuan Shasha on the side also nodded in agreement: "I agree."
"Ham! If we knew this, we wouldn't have to wait for him for half an hour. We feel like we've been tricked by this burdock. It's a big deal." Although he was upset, Officer Wang didn't want to vent his anger here.
So, under the leadership of the woman at the front desk, the four of them went upstairs together to the second floor.
The decoration here still continues the heroic style, and the whole decoration looks like a high-end club.
And this room feels like a KTV.
The woman at the front desk led them to the door of one of the rooms, knocked on the office door a few times, and whispered, "Boss Niu, they are here."
"Let them in." A middle-aged man's voice soon came from inside the house.
The female receptionist pushed open the door, gave up a body and said, "Guys, please come in."
Gu Chen walked into the room first, and saw a red-faced man with short hair in the luxuriously decorated office, his back was facing the door at the moment.
With a lit cigar in his left hand and a phone in his right hand, he seems to be still communicating with someone on the phone.
After seeing a few people brought into the office, the female receptionist greeted everyone to sit on the sofa, and she quickly made tea for the four of them, then carefully exited the room and gently closed the door.
"Okay, ok, ok, let's do it like this, haha, no problem, um, ok." After a while of phone communication, the middle-aged man with short hair hung up the phone, and then turned the swivel chair in the direction of Gu Chen.
Seeing that there were already four policemen sitting on the sofa at this moment, he put down his cell phone, stood up actively, and walked to Gu Chen and the others.
Gu Chen and the others also got up at the same time.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Police Officer, I've been talking about important things just now, so I can't receive a few of you, please don't take offense."
The man looked at Gu Chen and the others, and said some polite words.
Gu Chen also snorted, and straight to the point: "You are the boss here, Niu Geng?"
"Uh, my humble servant is Niu Geng, may I ask who are..."
When Niu Geng heard this, he also put on a polite gesture.
Before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei introduced Gu Chen directly:
"This is Gu Chen, the acting deputy director of our Furong branch. I'm Lu Weiwei from the criminal investigation team. This is Lao Wang, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team. This is Yuan Shasha from the criminal investigation team."
"Oh?" When Lu Weiwei introduced Gu Chen, she mentioned the position of acting deputy director of the Furong branch.
Niu Geng subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen's epaulettes, seeing that Gu Chen was the third-level police inspector, he immediately said puzzled, "You are...the deputy chief."
"I'm the acting deputy director." Gu Chen also echoed.
"Aiya." The red-faced burdock suddenly put on a look of surprise, and circled Gu Chen half a circle, with a look of disbelief:
"I have a lot of contact with the police, but this is the first time I have met a young deputy chief like you."
After thinking about it, Niu Geng also tentatively asked Gu Chen: "I don't know where your father is?"
I feel that Gu Chen is at the level of deputy director at a young age. Presumably Gu Chen's father should have a high position. Isn't this a well-connected household?
But Gu Chen didn't respond, but got down to business: "Mr. Niu, let's talk about business."
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't seem to give face, but looking at the few policemen around Gu Chen, their uniforms and sirens were very authentic, and Niu Geng immediately became suspicious.
As the boss of a leasing and lending company with a certain scale, he also has a group of so-called "professional" debt collection teams.
Naturally, Niu Geng also came into contact with many so-called uniformed personnel.
But Gu Chen was a third-level police inspector at a young age, and he was also the deputy director of the sub-bureau.
Niu Geng's first feeling was that he didn't believe it.
What's more, the policeman named Lao Wang behind him is obviously much older than Gu Chen, but his position is not as good as the young Gu Chen, which makes Niu Geng suspicious.
After all, these days there are quite a few people who pretend to be policemen, come to our company to make trouble, all kinds of ghosts and monsters, and scare him, but Niu Geng is not a vegetarian even today.
So when he saw Gu Chen whose police rank and age obviously did not match, Niu Geng's first reaction was, could this group of people be some kind of enemy again, sending people pretending to be policemen to blackmail him?
