Chapter 2084

Zhuang Qiang didn't think about this question at first, after all, his daughter had been missing for half a year.

And just in that case, everyone is actually contributing to the flames.

In addition, the surface rescue force on the cruise ship and part of the blue sky rescue team were dispatched.

This trouble, even if it is fake, has become real.

However, Zhuang Qiang didn't seem to have considered the issue that Gu Chen told him before.

But now, Zhuang Qiang had to face such a difficult problem.

"How? Do you think something is wrong?" Police Officer Wang also reminded.

"It seems...it seems a bit strange." Zhuang Qiang rubbed his face with his hands to keep himself awake enough.

Trying to recall everything that happened on the cruise ship, he raised his head and looked at Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, after hearing what you said, I feel that I may have been deceived by others."

"My daughter can't swim, if she falls into the water and is on the surface of the river."

"Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no possibility of survival, but my daughter is still alive now. I can only say that everything that happened back then may have been a cover-up."

"You think so too?" Seeing that Zhuang Qiang believed his words at the moment, Gu Chen continued to ask:

"Mr. Zhuang Qiang, I'm curious about something."

"You say." Zhuang Qiang is very cooperative now.

Gu Chen answered his questions one by one: "You said you wanted to go out and relax, and then chose to take a cruise."

"But if it is said that your daughter Zhuang Xuanyi was really kidnapped, then the kidnapper must have planned everything well in advance."

"But the problem is, if you want to go on a cruise ship randomly, then these kidnappers definitely have no chance to prepare."

"Then how did they kidnap your daughter? And create the illusion that your daughter fell into the water?"

Seeing that Zhuang Qiang was stunned at the moment, it seemed that he hadn't recovered from Gu Chen's thoughts.

But Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "There is only one possibility, the kidnapper knew your whereabouts in advance."

"Know my whereabouts in advance?" As if reminded by some words of Gu Chen, Zhuang Qiang's expression changed suddenly, and he became nervous.

On the other side, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhuang Qiang, think about it quickly. Did other people know about your plan to take a cruise ship in advance? Did you tell anyone?"

"No, I haven't told anyone else about the trip." Zhuang Qiang also denied it immediately, but after a while, Zhuang Qiang seemed to think of something again, and then immediately replied:

"Oh, by the way, I remembered. The reason why I chose to travel by cruise ship was because when I participated in the activities of the Chamber of Commerce, a friend of the Chamber of Commerce gave me three tickets for the cruise."

"He said that he originally wanted to bring his family there, but he couldn't because of business matters."

"So, he gave me these three cruise tickets as a favor."

"When I thought about it, it happened that I hadn't taken my family out for a walk for a long time, so I gladly accepted this friend's kindness."

Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly stopped recording, looked up at Zhuang Qiang and said, "In other words, these three tickets were given to you by others, right?"

"Yes." Zhuang Qiang nodded.

"That's right." Gu Chen also let out a long sigh of relief, which was in line with his previous prediction, and he couldn't help but say:

"You said that you haven't mentioned your travel plan to anyone, but if the kidnappers exist, then these three tickets are the weight for you to follow their way."

"Once you board this cruise ship, everything that happens after that may follow the way these people pre-designed."

"As for your daughter being said to have fallen into the river, it can only be a cover-up for these people."

"But if you say a thousand words and ten thousand words, the leak of the source of the news may be due to the presenters of the three tickets."

"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei quickly echoed:

"Think about it, you haven't told anyone about your whereabouts, so how did these people know that you were bound to board that cruise ship? It must have been known in advance."

"But who is it? Can accurately provide these top-secret information?"

"Then who else is there? Only his friend who gave away tickets from the Chamber of Commerce." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Police Officer Wang quickly answered.

At this moment, Zhuang Qiang was in a daze, sitting on the sofa blankly, as if thinking about everything.

"No way? I don't know that friend very well, and there is no conflict between us."

"Besides, he was only busy temporarily, and he heard that I was upset because of work at that time, so, out of kindness, he gave me the boat ticket. How could he harm me?"

"Hehe, thanks to you, Zhuang Qiang is still a businessman? You must be on guard against others. Although he has no direct conflict with you, it doesn't mean that other people don't?" Officer Wang saw that Zhuang Qiang was also in the lake at this moment, I can't help but kindly remind you.

Lu Weiwei also said: "That's right, you must have offended many people in the process of running your business, right?"

"No... That's right." Facing Lu Weiwei's questioning, Zhuang Qiang didn't hide anything, and said straightforwardly:

"In our business, it is normal to offend people. Almost any company will offend people. This is unavoidable."

"That's it." Lu Weiwei also let out a long sigh of relief, and then said:

"Those who offended you may be the friend of the person who gave you the boat ticket. Let the friend of the Chamber of Commerce set you up and let you fall into the trap they designed. It is entirely possible."

After a pause, seeing that Zhuang Qiang was still hesitating, Lu Weiwei quickly explained:

"Let me make a statement first. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm just helping you analyze the specific situation based on the clues you provided."

"Because you think to yourself, you didn't tell anyone about the fact that you took the whole family on a cruise ship, so how could these people who kidnapped your daughter stay on the cruise ship?"

Flicking her right index finger, Lu Weiwei also spoke righteously: "There is only one possibility, that is, there is a problem with the ticket link, and the problem lies with the person who delivered the ticket."

"this……"

As if unwilling to accept this reality, Zhuang Qiang's expression was extremely complicated.

But Gu Chen also saw this, and said comfortingly, "Mr. Zhuang Qiang, many things cannot be resolved with emotion."

"For example, your daughter Zhuang Xuanyi, why did she reappear on the street half a year after she drowned? Have you ever thought about this?"

"Also, you have to figure out who was on the cruise ship that said your daughter fell into the river?"

"If it's a thief calling for a thief, who is behind this trying to harm you? Or is it that you have irreconcilable conflicts with certain enemies?"

"I……"

Seemingly being asked by Gu Chen again, Zhuang Qiang didn't know how to answer.

And Police Officer Wang, who couldn't wait any longer, said angrily, "I said Zhuang Qiang, don't you even know who your deadly enemies are?"

"I've heard that there used to be a group of people who came to the gate of your community with banners to ask you for salary or payment for goods? Is there such a thing?"

Seeing that the police came here, and seemed to have investigated his details, Zhuang Qiang was a little embarrassed for a while, but he still took the initiative to admit:

"You are right. Those who made trouble that time were actually some suppliers."

"Because our other partners had some problems, it caused difficulties in the flow of funds at that time. For a while, many suppliers were in arrears of payment, so they came to make trouble."

"However, I have already coordinated with them on this matter. After one month, all the debts are basically paid off."

"Then are there other people who have irreconcilable conflicts with you?" Gu Chen asked Zhuang Qiang while recording.

Zhuang Qiang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Officer Wang said angrily, "Is it there or not?"

"Yes, and there are many more." As if feeling that he must not be able to hide it, Zhuang Qiang simply confessed to everyone.

Lu Weiwei also sighed and said, "Isn't that right? You can analyze the specific situation of these people for us."

"But the most important thing is that you must tell us the specific situation of the friend who gave you the boat ticket."

"This...okay." It seemed that it was time to be honest, and Zhuang Qiang didn't hesitate at the moment, and replied directly:

"Actually, that friend is not in the same industry as me, and there is no direct conflict. He runs a bathing center."

"Moreover, there seem to be more than a dozen in the entire Jiangnan City, and they usually like to receive friends from some chambers of commerce."

"That's because I have no direct conflict of interest with him, so I didn't think too much about the three boat tickets he gave me. I felt that it should be someone's kindness, so I gladly accepted it."

With a heavy sigh, Zhuang Qiang also said helplessly: "But, I really never thought of it, how could this matter have anything to do with him?"

"Does it matter? We will investigate this." Officer Wang paused, then said:

"Maybe it's the person behind him who is playing tricks. Please tell us the specific situation of that person first."

"Okay." Zhuang Qiang could only nod his head in agreement when he heard Police Officer Wang's words:

"That person's name is Zhang Sikai. He used to be a small manager of a star-rated hotel. Because of working in the hotel, he has accumulated a lot of high-end contacts."

"So, after quitting my job, I partnered with someone to open a bathing center."

"In the beginning, the business was not ideal. I saw several partners quit one after another, but this Zhang Sikai has been holding on."

"But I let him carry it over. In his bathing center, he met some other friends from our chamber of commerce, and everyone helped him set up this place together."

Sighing lightly, Zhuang Qiang also raised his head to think back: "Later, this Zhang Sikai also tasted the sweetness from these members of the Chamber of Commerce, so he tried every means to join the Chamber of Commerce."

"Besides, I was already a member of the Chamber of Commerce at that time, and he also asked me many times how to join the Chamber of Commerce."

"At that time, our Chamber of Commerce only accepted some mid-to-high-end members, and we didn't look down on self-employed people like that kind of small business."

"So I kindly reminded him that if he wants to join our chamber of commerce, at least you have to open a few decent bathing centers, and they all have to be of a certain size."

"Moreover, to build a good relationship with the people from the chamber of commerce, the necessary public relations are indispensable. It is the kingly way to invite more people from the chamber of commerce to come to his own store for consumption."

After a pause, after trying to calm down, Zhuang Qiang said again: "Later, this guy seems to have opened his mind, and in just a few years, he has expanded in various ways."

"In addition, the business was good in those years, and all walks of life made money, so, this guy also got lucky, and the scale expanded to more than a dozen."

"That is to say, at that time, this man named Zhang Sikai finally had the opportunity to join your chamber of commerce, right?" Officer Wang said.

"Yes." Zhuang Qiang did not deny it, but explained directly:

"Based on his situation at the time, he was qualified to join the chamber of commerce, and many bosses of the chamber of commerce had consumed in his shop."

"This guy is also very good. Every time, he takes good care of the big bosses of these chambers of commerce and makes them return home happily."

"So, since then, many elders have business talks, and they will be placed in Zhang Sikai's bathing center."

"And gradually, the bathing center has become a place frequented by the bosses of the chamber of commerce, and this place has gradually become the information center of the entire chamber of commerce."

"According to what our chamber of commerce says, anyone who doesn't know how to do it can go to Zhang Sikai's bathing center, where there are all kinds of information about getting rich."

"So amazing?" Hearing that Zhuang Qiang was almost in the so-called bathing center of Shinhwa, Lu Weiwei also felt incredible.

But Zhuang Qiang explained: "It's nothing? It's like discussing business at the dinner table, but the most important thing is that Zhang Sikai turned the bathing center into a business circle."

"That is to say, a network of relationships has been formed invisibly. Before that, if everyone wanted to mix in the circle, they had to bite the bullet and join the circle of the chamber of commerce."

"As a result, only the elders of the chamber of commerce can sit together and talk and laugh."

"As for the smaller individual businesses, they suffer from no connections."

"But Zhang Sikai's bathing center is very different. Anyone can come here for consumption. After coming and going, everyone has become familiar."

After a pause, seeing that Gu Chen and the others were listening carefully, Zhuang Qiang revealed another piece of news:

"To be honest, I heard that there was a self-employed individual who opened a small supermarket. He was the owner of a supermarket with a storefront of tens of square meters, because he often spent money in Zhang Sikai's bathing center."

"Zhang Sikai directly introduced him to the bosses of the chamber of commerce. Within half a year, this small supermarket owner followed the bosses of the chamber of commerce to buy stocks, trade futures, and engage in projects."

"In less than a year, I changed to a car worth 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. This is not a legend, it is a real thing, because this bathing center is a circle."

"Isn't this too awesome?" Hearing Zhuang Qiang's words, Police Officer Wang was also dumbfounded and said, "Then I go to the bathing center to spend money, so I'm also in the circle?"

"No." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Zhuang Qiang waved his hands and said, "That depends on your consumption level. Ordinary customers and super VIP customers are treated differently."

"Only if you spend enough money in the bathing center, Zhang Sikai will take you to the business district. This is the rule."

"You have to let Zhang Sikai make money first, and then he will take you to play, otherwise, how do you think he opened the chain of more than a dozen bath centers?"
