Chapter 2086

Feeling that the tall and thin manager asked too much, but considering that he was also serving his work, Gu Chen didn't care, and said directly:

"We have a case here, which more or less involves your boss."

"I came here this time just to find out the specific situation, and please explain to your boss."

After a pause, Gu Chen asked again: "I said that, can you understand?"

"This..." I felt a little confused, but the police said so, and the tall and thin manager also realized that it seemed that things were not that simple.

Being able to work here and deal with different types of people all year round, the manager himself knows that once the police are involved, it must be difficult to handle.

But to be a manager in the foot bath center, you still need to be able to settle some things.

So the manager hesitated briefly, and then explained to everyone: "How about it? I'll make a phone call and ask the boss about his situation."

"After all, our boss has a lot of entertainment. Last night, he drank with a group of important clients. He probably got drunk. He probably hasn't woken up yet."

"However, you don't have to worry. Let me ask first. Report the situation on your side to our boss. Do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, but hurry up." Lu Weiwei didn't hesitate.

After the tall and thin manager nodded, he ordered the female receptionist to entertain these guests, and he returned to the back of the bathing center to call Zhang Sikai.

About a few minutes later, the tall and thin manager came out again, and said politely: "Our boss will be here later, and he asked us to entertain a few of you."

"Several, you should go to the VIP room with me first and wait?"

"Okay." Seeing that Zhang Sikai finally saw everyone, Police Officer Wang also stood up and lowered his chin to everyone.

Everyone followed the tall and thin manager and came directly to a VIP room.

Under the guidance of the tall and thin manager, everyone walked into the private room and was immediately attracted by the various luxurious decorations in the private room.

Lu Weiwei was stunned and said, "Isn't the decoration too extravagant? Why does it feel like there is everything here, mahjong table? Bathing pool? Bar counter, and a small movie viewing area? And a luxurious big bed?"

"Hehe." Faced with Lu Weiwei's surprise, the tall and thin manager quickly explained:

"This is the VIP private room in our bathing center, and it is one of the best private rooms."

"Usually, the boss will arrange this kind of private room for guests only when important friends of our boss come over."

"Here, you can stay for days and nights without going out, and you won't feel like a waste of light."

"People who come here to spend money are here to relax and talk about business. Our boss also heard that the acting deputy director of the Furong branch came to him, so he specifically explained everything."

"Then this is too extravagant, right?" Yuan Shasha had never seen an entertainer lead everyone to such a luxurious private room.

The tall and thin manager laughed dryly, and quickly explained: "Our boss is afraid that the hospitality will not be good, so he specifically explained."

"If I don't entertain well, I will be fired by the boss. In our business, the most fearful thing is to offend customers, especially masters like you who can't afford it."

Although the tall and thin manager said it in a teasing tone, Gu Chen can also see that this place may not be less concerned by the industry and commerce or the police.

So he replied indifferently: "We came here simply to ask your boss to understand the situation, not to trouble him."

"So, you don't have to worry too much."

"Hehe, this is the best way." Hearing Gu Chen's words, the tall and thin manager immediately let go of his suspense.

For a store manager like himself, he can't afford to offend anyone who comes here to consume, even anyone who comes here to check.

Therefore, everyone speaks politely.

But Gu Chen was already the acting deputy director of the Furong branch at a young age, so he felt that this should be a related household, and there might be someone above him.

Therefore, tall and thin managers who are good at observing words and expressions will not understand this truth.

But Zhang Sikai, the boss behind him, can understand the truth that tall and thin managers can understand.

So when I heard the call report from the tall and thin manager, I learned that the person who came this time was the acting deputy director of the Furong branch, and the acting deputy director was still a young guy.

Zhang Sikai also seemed to be getting serious, and felt that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he made a special confession.

But when Gu Chen explained this to the tall and thin manager, the tall and thin manager could only laugh it off.

He knew that when Gu Chen said that, he was being polite.

To be able to become the deputy director of the sub-bureau at such a young age, without any strength behind it, is really impossible.

Therefore, you should be polite, the tall and thin manager is still polite.

After a while, several tall waitresses wearing the uniforms of the foot bath center walked into the private room with some fruit plates and drinks, and placed them in front of everyone.

The tall and thin manager also smiled apologetically and said, "You guys are working so hard, you almost need something."

"No thanks, we're too full this morning." Police officer Wang didn't seem to be taking advantage of others, and felt that the other party's ostentation was a bit exaggerated.

Lu Weiwei also smiled lightly and said, "There is no need to fix these things for us, we are here to work, not to consume."

"That's it, that's it." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the tall and thin manager also smiled slightly.

Then he waved to the tall waitresses standing in a row, and several waitresses walked out of the private room in an orderly manner.

The tall and thin manager was also sitting across from them, and asked about the boss's related matters in a circumstantial manner.

Gu Chen could tell that Zhang Sikai was using the manager as a shield to inquire about the news.

Also after communicating for nearly twenty minutes, the manager's phone rang suddenly.

The manager smiled at everyone, stood up quickly, picked up the phone and walked out of the private room.

Not long after, I saw the tall and thin manager, followed by a middle-aged man with a cropped cut and a pot belly, into the private room.

The middle-aged man was wearing a fancy suit. When he saw Gu Chen and the others, he enthusiastically stepped forward and greeted them.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Sikai, the owner of this bathing center."

When Zhang Sikai's eyes quickly swept across a few people, they quickly settled on Gu Chen.

Seeing this, the tall and thin manager hurried over and introduced to Zhang Sikai, "Mr. Zhang, this is Gu Chen, acting deputy director of Furong Branch."

"Oh?" It seemed a little surprised.

After looking Gu Chen up and down, Zhang Sikai smiled politely, and reached out to greet Gu Chen:

"Oh, Gu Ju's visit this time really made our bathing center flourish. It's a great honor to meet you."

"Hello, Boss Zhang." Gu Chen also greeted Zhang Sikai with a handshake like a routine.

However, Zhang Sikai didn't seem to want to open Gu Chen's hand, and held Gu Chen's hand with both hands, looked at Gu Chen's appearance again, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Oh, what a hero. I didn't expect Gu Ju to be so young. Dare I ask Gu Ju's father, what is his current position?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen felt that he hadn't even started to understand him yet, but this Zhang Sikai started to investigate himself in reverse, he couldn't help but smiled, and said politely, "Let's talk about something serious, shall we?"

Seeing that his temptation was unsuccessful, he felt that the family behind Gu Chen should have a background.

Bragging in a place like the bathing center, if you say that you don't know a few decent people, you'd be ashamed to speak up.

In the kind of place run by Zhang Sikai, the most important thing is the relationship network.

According to Gu Chen's previous investigation of Zhou Di, Zhang Sikai operated the foot bath center as a platform for network communication.

So, here, as long as you have a good relationship and a good background, you can receive special care.

This is also the reason why businessmen like to gather here for consumption.

Originally learned from the manager that the acting deputy director of the Furong branch is a young guy.

Zhang Sikai thought it was because he looked younger.

But now it seems that Nima is too young, right?

Properly, he is a handsome guy who has just graduated and worked for a few years.

But the No. 1 person is often the acting deputy director of the Furong branch. How strong is the background behind this nima?

Zhang Sikai is a person who has been in the circle all year round, so he is very accurate in judging people. I feel that if Gu Chen has no background, how could he be the acting deputy director of the Furong branch at a young age?

You know, he is well aware of the Furong sub-bureau, which is also a large-scale sub-bureau with many police stations under its jurisdiction.

But for a young puppy like Gu Chen, who was able to sit on the position of acting deputy director of the Furong branch, was not questioned by others.

I feel that the relationship behind this guy is not as powerful as usual.

It feels like this kind of person has a background that can only think high.

"Boss Zhang." Seeing Zhang Sikai holding his right hand all the time and looking at him with complicated eyes, Gu Chen also reminded him.

"Ah?" Zhang Sikai, who reacted a little slower, suddenly recovered from the state of meditation, and only then laughed a few times, and quickly let go of Gu Chen's right hand, and said jokingly:

"Really, there are very few young people like Gu Ju now. Come and sit down."

After letting everyone sit down, Gu Chen also started to introduce Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to Zhang Sikai.

When he saw that a second-level police inspector was the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch, and then looked at Gu Chen, a third-level police inspector, Zhang Sikai was sure that his guess was correct.

The background of Gu Chen's family is simply unfathomable.

How many years have you worked? Dare to hang the rank of third-level police inspector?

However, after staying in the bathing center for a long time, he needs to be able to deal with all kinds of troubles.

Therefore, when the store manager called him, Zhang Sikai also doubted Gu Chen's identity.

But on the way here, I checked my phone and found out that there really was a Gu Chen in the Furong Sub-bureau.

Moreover, Zhang Sikai also found some reports about Gu Chen through the reports of some mainstream media in Jiangnan City.

That police resume is almost terrifying.

At a young age, he has gone abroad to handle cases many times, and he is the youngest criminal investigation captain and acting deputy director of the Furong branch.

That's why the doubts fell.

But just looking at Gu Chen's appearance and figure, he couldn't get rid of the childishness on his face.

Presumably without strong support, it is absolutely impossible to take the position of acting deputy director of the Furong branch.

Maybe someone in the province or the capital has a terrifying background.

Therefore, Zhang Sikai did not dare to neglect Gu Chen.

When looking at the fruit platter on the coffee table, it seems that it has not been touched at all.

Zhang Sikai got angry, and cursed at the tall and thin manager standing behind his sofa:

"How do you entertain my distinguished guests? Just use this kind of thing to fool people? Replace them all for me, and send up those imported fruits that just arrived."

"And these drinks, you can get such a cheap drink? Give me those drinks that were brought in by air, are you a pig?"

"Yes, yes, it's because I didn't treat you well, so I'll change it right away." The tall and thin manager seemed to be scolded bloody by the boss, and the tall and thin manager hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Then, he quickly picked up the tray on the table and prepared to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately stopped and said, "Manager, don't bother, we won't eat it even if you bring it over."

Glancing at Zhang Sikai, Gu Chen said again: "Boss Zhang, let's talk about business, shall we?"

"Uh..." I feel like Gu Chen has said that, which means it's not a problem of his poor reception.

What Zhang Sikai said just now was actually trying to test Gu Chen.

It can be seen that Gu Chen has no dissatisfaction with his hospitality.

And looking at Gu Chen and the others, they didn't want to take advantage of themselves at all, so they couldn't help but whisper in their hearts.

Do Gu Chen and the others pretend to be polite?

But because he didn't understand Gu Chen's reason yet, Zhang Sikai could only act accordingly, and waved his hand to the experience who stood aside, dumbfounded, to signal the manager to get out.

After the manager bowed, he walked out of the private room and closed the door gently.

Zhang Sikai smiled at Gu Chen and the others and said, "Everyone, this is also the first time I have contacted the senior management of the Furong branch, so please forgive me for the poor reception."

"It's already very thoughtful, Boss Zhang, we're not going to make a fuss, let's start directly." Officer Wang's voice fell, and then he turned on the law enforcement recorder on his body.

Seeing that Gu Chen and the others took out their notebooks, and it seemed that the conversation with him was so formal, Zhang Sikai felt a little bit in his heart, but he immediately calmed down and said with a bitter face:

"Several, if you have any questions, tell them, I will tell you everything I know."

"Do you know Zhou Di?" Gu Chen said.

"Zhou Di? That's... Zhou Di who is in the steel smelting business?" Zhang Sikai seemed to know these businessmen very well.

Gu Chen just said it casually, and he immediately knew who Zhou Di was? and what he does.

Gu Chen was very satisfied, nodded slightly, and confirmed, "That's right, the Zhou Di I'm talking about is in the steel smelting business."

"Oh, him? Yes, we are all friends of a chamber of commerce." Seeing that he guessed right, Zhang Sikai smiled and said.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Half a year ago, his daughter fell into the river on a cruise ship and drowned, but the body has never been found. Do you know about this?"

"Half a year ago?" It seemed that some sensitive issues were mentioned. Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhang Sikai's eyes obviously paused.
