A gentleman is not a group

On the second day, Xie Jianmian was thinking about what happened last night, and arrived at the government office early, but he still failed to catch up with Zhou Chi. He couldn't help wondering whether Catcher Zhou hadn't slept all night and came directly to the government office from Xishan.

Thinking of last night's scene, Xie Jianmian couldn't help worrying, and asked sideways, "How did you sleep last night?"

Zhou Chi looked at him in surprise, but didn't understand the meaning of this question, so he replied casually: "It's pretty good..."

It's a pity that Zhou Chi's pale blue and tired expression betrayed him, and this look doesn't look like a good night's sleep.

Xie Jianmian didn't believe it at all. He sneaked a glance and was caught by Zhou Chi. He felt strange: "What's the matter with you today? You pay so much attention to me?"

"Ah, it's okay." Xie Jianmian shyly withdrew his gaze and forced a guilty smile.

Zhou Chi was even more suspicious, and when he was about to continue to question, He Si ran in from the outside.

"Oh, stop flirting, both of you!" He Si came at an untimely time, and he had no eyesight, "Just now someone reported to the police, and we are busy again!"

"What's the matter?" At the end of the leisurely days, the word "report to the official" made everyone lose their mind to play around, and hurriedly asked.

He Si: "The magistrate asked me to tell the boss that an old man reported to the officials that his daughter was missing and hadn't been seen for two days. Let the boss take someone to investigate."

"A missing case again?" Zhou Chi frowned, and couldn't help but think of what happened last month. He felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and always felt that the word "missing" was really unknown.He turned his head and saw the same question in Xie Jianmian's eyes.

"Is the old man still in the government office?"

He Si nodded hastily: "Yes, yes."

"Let's go." Zhou Chichong waved Xie Jianmian, "Go and ask about the situation."

The government office has set up a duty room for the arresters, and for the sake of convenience, it is not far from the main hall and the gate, but only a few steps away.

An old man with half-white hair was sitting in the main hall, and he was anxiously moving around. When he saw someone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward tremblingly: "Is this the catcher of the government office?"

Zhou Chi nodded, helped the old man sit down, and asked: "You reported to the official that your daughter is missing, can you tell me the details so that we can help you find it as soon as possible."

"My daughter said yesterday that she wanted to go to Guanyin Temple to pray for blessings. She left early in the morning, but she never came back..." the old man said while holding Zhou Chi's sleeve tightly, like a life-saving straw Generally refused to let go, "This girl is a family, what should I do if something happens to me?"

Zhou Chi: "In this way, you first describe your daughter's appearance, ask the painter of the government office to draw a picture, and post it on the bulletin board. Someone will always know the clue."

After the old man's description, the artist quickly drew a concise and realistic portrait. Xie Jianmian stopped in front of the desk and held his chin to look at the woman in the painting carefully. Her eyebrows are like smoke, and her eyes are like crescent moons. , but there is such an affectionate look.

He nodded in praise: "It's a beauty."

Hearing this, the old man didn't know whether it was sadness or joy: "The neighbors in the neighborhood said that I was able to give birth to such a daughter because I had accumulated great virtues. Whether my daughter is good-looking or good-natured, the people who proposed marriage from her age were almost broken. At the threshold of my house, she finally found someone she likes, but she just got engaged, so why can't she find it."

From just now, Zhou Chi's eyes have been on Xie Jianmian's body, and then he lowered his eyes and retracted them. He nodded at the old man and said, "You go back and rest first. I will ask brothers to post the portraits, and we will also lead people to search for them. , as soon as there is news, it will only be you."

"Master Catcher, you must help me find my daughter. I am so old that I only have such a concern, so nothing can happen."

The old man's voice was trembling, and he bent his knees and wanted to kneel down. Zhou Chi was so frightened that he quickly helped him up and sent him to the door to watch the old man leave before turning back to the classroom.

"Qi Fei." Zhou Zhi shook the portrait in his hand, "Paste this to the notice office of the government office, and if anyone provides clues, please let me know as soon as possible."

Qi Fei took the portrait, and his mobility was super strong: "Okay boss."

"Have you remembered all the people in the portrait? You all go out and find them as soon as possible." Zhou Chi ordered the other arrests, and looked at Xie Jianmian who was standing aside, "Mr. Xie, let's go, please excuse me Come with me."

In such a huge city of Jinzhou, not counting the corners and corners of the suburbs, there are countless locals and foreigners who come and go every day. With only one portrait and no other clues, finding a girl in this vast crowd is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Everyone understands the truth, but you can’t do nothing just because there is little hope. As long as there is a slight possibility, you must do your best and run.

The only thing that can be done at this moment is that this is a girl, and a good-looking girl.

Just the fact of the "missing girl" can cause some reverie, especially since this girl is still a beauty...

Zhou Chi glanced at the people passing by the street, bent his arm and bumped Xie Jianmian with his elbow: "Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

"Thoughts?" Xie Jianmian narrowed his eyes, a little sleepy from the sunlight, and yawned uncontrollably as soon as he opened his mouth, "I wonder how the atmosphere in Jinzhou is like?"

Xie Jianmian said it implicitly, but Zhou Chi understood the meaning in an instant, which was similar to what he had just thought. "Girl" and "fashion" are connected together, so there is only one explanation for Fengyuechang.

If this "wind and moon" is just a place open to the outside world like a prostitute, it may be easier to find clues from it.

But if it is like the tacit secret that most rich and powerful families in various places have, they raise a few women from good families, then this matter may not be something that the police can intervene quickly.

I have no clue at the moment, so I can only start with the easy places. There are only a few in Jinzhou Fengyue, and it is not difficult to check them one by one, but what name should I find so that I can achieve my goal without making a fuss?

Knowing what Zhou Chi was hesitating about, Xie Jianmian yawned and said, "If you want to be interrogated by prostitutes to see if there are acts of kidnapping girls from good families, I have someone who can help you a little bit."

Mr. Xie still knows the man in love?This kid can do it, he has gotten to know him so well not long after he arrived in Jinzhou, he really can't be judged by his appearance.

Zhou Chi was very surprised, and felt uncomfortable for no reason. He had never been to these places, so why should this kid?

Uncomfortable is uncomfortable, business matters should be put first: "Who?"

"I'll lead the way." Xie Jianmian stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "Master Catcher, please."

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Jianmian stopped in front of a rather elegant gate, and there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo coming from it. Zhou Chi felt that this place was somewhat familiar, and when he looked up, he saw the words "Nuanyu Pavilion" written on the wooden plaque.

Zhou Chi: "..."

No wonder it looks so familiar.

Xie Jianmian turned around and saw Zhou Chi standing there in a daze, thinking that he was not used to this kind of place, and explained: "This is just a rhythm dance workshop, you don't have to worry about it."

Of course he knew where this Nuanyu Pavilion was!

Zhou Chi glanced at him, concealing his anxiety, and entered the Nuanyu Pavilion one after the other.

Xie Jianmian seemed to be very familiar with this place. He walked straight to the second floor without guidance. The strange thing was that the people in the pavilion nodded to him one after another, but no one came to greet him. That attitude didn't seem like treating guests , instead of getting acquainted with each other, he brought a bit of respect.

Going up the corner stairs is the second floor of the Nuanyu Pavilion. The second floor seems to be closed to guests and is very clean. Zhou Chi doesn't know why those people didn't stop them, so they just let them in. But seeing Cai Cai's posture, He is probably in the honor of Mr. Xie.

There is a room in the innermost part of the second floor. Several pots of phoenix bamboo are placed at the door. The door under the shade of bamboo leaves is deep and clean, and it is difficult to attract attention if you don't pay attention.

Xie Jianmian raised his hand and knocked on the door twice. After a while, the door opened with a "squeak", revealing a woman's face with beautiful eyebrows and dull expression.

Zhou Chi was surprised: "Miss Si Lan?"

Zhou Chi remembered Si Lan, but Si Lan obviously didn't know the arrester in front of him, so he was slightly taken aback.

Xie Jianmian looked at Zhou Chi, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yo, it seems that Catcher Zhou has come here to listen to the music a lot, and he just pretended to be innocent, could it be that he is shy?"

"No, I..." Zhou Chi felt that he couldn't explain clearly, and his good image that was left was probably completely destroyed, "I don't come often, just once, with Qi Fei and the others."

After finishing speaking, he felt strange, he was in such a hurry to explain what he was doing, like a heartless man whose wife was abandoned.

Xie Jianmian smiled grimly, with a look of disbelief, and entered the room without looking sideways, Zhou Chi had no choice but to follow in.

Si Lan picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and signaled the two to sit down, then asked blankly, "Amian, why are you here?"

"Why, I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" Xie Jianmian picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "The tea made by sister is better!"

Only then did Si Lan smile, and patted him on the head: "Okay, I don't know you yet. I haven't come to see me for so long. Why did you come here suddenly if something happened? I even brought a policeman with me. Won't you introduce me?"

Xie Jianmian told Si Lan exactly what he was asking for, and Zhou Chi watched from the sidelines, speculating about the relationship between the two while drinking tea.

He just thought that Xie Jianmian was Si Lan who he only met after he came to Jinzhou and lingered in singing and music, but seeing the familiarity of the two, Xie Jianmian still said "Sister" in mouth, they must have known each other for a long time.

It is also worth noting the attitude of the people in Nuanyu Pavilion towards Xie Jianmian.

"I understand." After hearing Xie Jianmian's statement, Si Lan glanced at Zhou Chi for some reason, nodded and said, "I'll help you find out later, little ancestor."

Xie Jianmian squinted and smiled: "Thank you, sister. You are so beautiful."

"Just your sweet mouth."

Is this how he treats acquaintances? He actually looks so cute. Thinking of the annoying words and deeds before this disaster, Zhou Chi's heart is a little sore. He is not a bad person, and he thinks he is worthy of him. Why? You can't be this nice.

Xie Jianmian: "By the way, sister, I forgot to tell you that I have a name in the government office, and now I am my superior next week, and I have to follow his orders."

"Zhou Chi?" Si Lan glanced over again, "Since the owner asked me to follow you, I have to watch over you, but we have been in love for so many years, I know what you think in your heart, and I can only keep an eye on your affairs." Turn one eye and close one eye, you are such an adult, you should understand what you are doing, don't I need to remind you all the time?"

Xie Jianmian was also a little dazed for a moment, and nodded in a daze.

Zhou Chi on the side spread his hands at Si Lan's gaze again, he always felt that the girl was somewhat hostile to him, which was very inexplicable.

After going out, Zhou Chi couldn't help asking, "Who are you, Miss Si Lan? You seem to know each other very well."

Xie Jianmian nodded: "She is from Liuyun Villa. We grew up together. I called her Sister. This time she actually came to Jinzhou with me. After arriving in Jinzhou, we separated."

"Oh..." Zhou Chi curled his lips, "My childhood sweetheart."

Xie Jianmian: "I guess..."

"Then Nuanyu Pavilion also belongs to Liuyun Villa?"

"Yes. To be precise, it belongs to sister."

Sure enough, Liuyun Mountain's family has a big business, which he and other small catchers can't match.
