soldiers in front

The home visit time was extended from the agreed one hour to two and a half hours. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when Ji Zheng left Shanshui City. He was distracted by thinking about Xiaohong's condition while driving. The phone on the stage vibrated.

Min Chengzhou said: "I'm leaving, where are you?"

Ji Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "On the way, see you at the entrance of the Deep Sea Club."

Ten minutes later, when he parked his car in the open-air parking lot in front of the Deep Sea Club, he found that Min Chengzhou had arrived, and the car was parked opposite his car.

They got off the car at the same time, glanced at each other, and walked towards the Deep Sea Club tacitly.

Min Chengzhou asked: "Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"

Ji Zheng adjusted his glasses, and calmly negotiated with him: "I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you can't ask me the bottom line, and you can't suspect me of committing crimes."

Min Chengzhou sensed that there was a trap in this sentence, and looked at Ji Zheng defensively: "You speak first."

Ji Zheng didn't look at him, looked ahead and said in a steady tone: "You agree first."

"Tsk, why don't you tell me first."

Ji Zheng smiled lightly, although his voice was soft, but he said loudly: "You agree first."

Min Chengzhou punched him on the shoulder with half truth and half lie: "Don't negotiate conditions with the people's police."

Ji Zhengdao: "I am familiar with your investigative procedures, which are complicated and over-the-top. Once the informant or witness cannot explain the source of the information clearly, he will be burned. Being entangled in justice is a time-consuming and money-consuming trouble. I don't want to get into it." Trouble, so I'm sorry, I have to make a deal with you."

When Min Chengzhou heard that he had explained everything clearly, he was immediately speechless, and punched him on the shoulder again: "I have never been able to speak against you once in all these years!"

Ji Zheng still smiled faintly: "So have we reached a consensus?"

"Yes, yes, if you have something to say, hurry up!"

Ji Zheng stopped leisurely, turned towards him, with a cold look in his dark eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Yang Shu."

Min Chengzhou: "Who?"

"An employee of the Deep Sea Club, when you see Guan Li later, you can ask him directly, where is Yang Shu?"

Min Chengzhou read from his eyes that this person was no small matter, and said seriously: "What's wrong with him?"

Ji Zheng didn't say much, just said: "You will know later."

The Deep Sea Club opened at [-]:[-] pm every day. It was closed at this time, and the main entrance was closed. The two walked to the side entrance. Min Chengzhou knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open the door.

The man who opened the door had seen Min Chengzhou, so he only opened the door a crack, glanced at Ji Zheng through the crack, and asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"

Min Chengzhou took out his police officer ID: "I want you to shut down the boss."

"Boss Guan is not here."

The man was about to close the door after he finished speaking, but Min Chengzhou blocked the door with his feet.

Min Chengzhou pushed the door open forcefully, and rushed in without any explanation: "The police are lawfully enforcing the law, and you dare to stop it?"

Ji Zheng followed behind him, looked at his back, and thought to himself that what Min Chengzhou said just now had a shadow of Xia Bingyang.

Most of the lights in the ballroom were turned off, only a few ordinary incandescent lamps were turned on, and a few cleaning staff were setting tables and cleaning chairs in the lobby.They walked through the lobby to the card room inside, and Ji Zheng heard Guan Li's rough and gangster-like voice, scolding someone loudly.

Following Min Chengzhou and turning a U-shaped aisle, Ji Zheng saw a big card filled with girls, Guan Li was sitting at the head of the couch in the card seat, standing in front of a young girl who was crying and put on makeup, obviously suffering She was the one who scolded.The other girls looked as usual, or played with mobile phones or touched up makeup, and didn't even give the girl who was scolded and cried a look.

"Meet you again, Boss Guan."

The booth lights were dim, and people's faces could barely be seen clearly. Guan Li was sitting right under the lamp tube, except for his forehead which was illuminated brightly, the lower half of his face was buried in the shadows.When he saw Min Chengzhou, his whole face was exposed to the light for an instant, and then quickly fell into the shadows, and said with a smile: "Officer Min, sit down quickly, the brother next to him is also—"

He also regarded Ji Zheng as a policeman, but when he looked at Ji Zheng's face, he recognized Ji Zheng immediately, so he stood up quickly, bowed his waist and said to Ji Zheng: "Mr. Ji is here, a rare visitor. Feifei, Hurry upstairs and inform Young Master Yan—"

Obviously, Guan Li didn't know that he and Yan Shao had fallen out.

Ji Zheng didn't wait for him to finish, he raised his hand to stop him, and said: "No need, I will leave after sitting with my friend for a while." He sat down next to Min Chengzhou.

Guan Li's eyes suddenly changed when he saw him, and he scanned his eyes again before he sat down on the sofa directly opposite Min Chengzhou, and said with a smile, "What do you want from me today?"

Min Chengzhou raised his chin towards him, and said with a smile, "Boss Guan already knows."

Guan Li said: "Oh, Min Chengzhou came here for Qianqian?"

Min Chengzhou smiled: "I said Boss Guan must know."

Guan Li ignored the ambiguity in his words, and said, "The girls have already told me about Sissy accidentally falling into the lake and drowning in Noah Park."

The girls who were sitting in the booth had already left one after another because of the arrival of the police, and at this time there were only three of them left in the booth.

Min Chengzhou started the regular inquiry procedure: "Susie has been working here?"

"Yes, she has been working here for several years."

"She doesn't even have an ID card, how dare you ask for it?"

"Look at what you said, I don't need to pay them five social insurances and one housing fund. It doesn't matter to me whether I have an ID or not, as long as I'm pretty."

Min Chengzhou laughed meaninglessly: "Where is she from?"

"I asked her, but she didn't know. This girl came out to play around at the age of twelve or thirteen. She probably forgot about her family. But judging from her accent, she should be from the south."

"On August 8, did Susie come to work here?"

"Yes, she was lucky that day, the table was turned over twice, and she didn't get off work until four or five in the morning."

"Did she leave by herself?"

"Correct."

"How was she at the time?"

"She has sold so much wine, and it costs more than 2000 yuan in Chengdu. Of course, she has to drink a lot."

"Where did she go after she left the club?"

"I don't know about that, I guess I went back to rest."

Min Chengzhou was very dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude: "Your girl is drunk and gets off work in the middle of the night, so you can rest assured to let her go alone?"

Guan Li smiled indifferently: "Then I can't assign a bodyguard to each of them, can I?"

Min Chengzhou was about to talk to him about the personal safety of employees when Ji Zheng touched his elbow lightly. Ji Zheng said in a low voice, "Hurry up."

Min Chengzhou swallowed the words back, and continued to ask: "Did you look for her after she disappeared?"

"Called, but couldn't get through."

"Why didn't you call the police?"

Guan Li smiled again: "Officer Min, you don't know this business. Girls often disappear for ten days and a half months, and then suddenly run out after missing for a few days. I didn't sign a contract with them. How can they have the money to go anywhere?" After Sissi lost contact, I don't know if something happened to her or she went to get rich."

The inquiry about Su Qian can stop here, and there is no point in procrastinating, so Min Chengzhou said: "Then change the question, where is Yang Shu?"

When Min Chengzhou said this, Ji Zheng looked at Guan Li, and he saw Guan Li sitting motionless on the sofa for a moment, then suddenly raised his body back, light and shadow flashed across his face again, and finally buried in the into the darkness, just like Yang Shu's face covered with mud.

"Who?"

Guan Li asked.

Min Chengzhou said: "Yang Shu, isn't he working here? Where is he?"

Guan Li glanced at Ji Zheng again, and then said: "Xiao Yang, a few days ago he asked for leave to go home to see his wife."

Although Min Chengzhou didn't know Yang Shu's identity and experience, he could see the clue from Guan Li's hesitation for a few seconds, and immediately asked: "When?"

"Hmm...Xiao Kai, when did Xiao Yang leave?"

A staff member standing behind the bar and wiping the table looked at each other for a moment, and then said to Min Chengzhou, "It seems to be four or five days ago."

Guan Li smiled and said, "I can't remember clearly either. He should have asked me for leave on the tenth day, and he hasn't shown up since then. What's the matter, Officer Min? Something happened to Xiao Yang?"

Min Chengzhou looked at him calmly for a while, and said with a smile: "You guy hit and run, knocked an old man out of the concussion, and almost died on the operating table. Now he is lying in the hospital, the old man has no children, a large sum of money No one paid for the medical bills."

Guan Yue said seriously: "This is really outrageous, which hospital is he in? I'll go and have a look when I have time."

Min Chengzhou wanted to deal with him again, and Ji Zheng touched his elbow again, and then saw Ji Zheng standing up, so he also stood up, and said to Guan Li: "If you have news about Yang Shu, please tell me in time. .”

"Definitely, those two walk slowly."

After leaving the Deep Sea Club, Min Chengzhou wanted to talk to Ji Zheng in the car, but he always felt that the parking lot at the entrance of the Deep Sea Club was slanted and gloomy, and he would get goose bumps after staying for a while, so he and Ji Zheng drove the car Came out and parked in front of a department store across the street, and the two stood in front of Ji Zheng's car talking.

"What happened to Yang Shu?"

"What was the cause of Susie's death?"

Min Chengzhou and Ji Zheng spoke at the same time, and looked at each other after they finished speaking. Min Chengzhou couldn't fight Ji Zheng's endurance, so he could only answer his question reluctantly: "Accidental death, he fell into the lake and drowned after drinking too much."

Ji Zheng thought deeply for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure it wasn't homicide?"

Min Chengzhou was a little unhappy: "The chief physician of our team is an old forensic doctor, very experienced. Do you think he would even get the cause of death wrong?"

Ji Zheng didn't care about his bad tone: "Are you sure Susie drank alcohol and died of drowning?"

"Correct."

"Then how are you sure that she slipped and fell into the water instead of being pushed into the water?"

Min Chengzhou frowned tightly, looked at him with folded arms, and had a defensive look on his face that he only showed when he was tortured by the media: "What do you want to say?"

Ji Zheng saw his displeasure, so he slowed down his voice, and said: "Women who are engaged in bar seating and publicity are high-risk groups, and criminals who aim at plundering money and sex choose them as their targets. So I think . . . there may be other reasons for Susie's death."

Min Chengzhou said: "You're right. People like Susie are indeed high-risk groups. We really can't find evidence to prove that she was not harassed by other people before she fell into the lake. However, we also haven't found evidence to prove that Susie was harassed, even threatened and coerced by others, and there is no evidence that Susie was pushed from behind before she fell into the lake. So I can't answer your question for the time being." She frowned helplessly Said: "We are the police, not gods with clairvoyant eyes and ears. We can't rely on imagination to investigate cases. We need evidence, but evidence needs to be found slowly, and it may never be found."

Ji Zheng realized that the pressure he had caused by the question just now was tantamount to 'raising the bar', and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I thought too one-sidedly."

Min Chengzhou waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, talk about business. Who is Yang Shu?"

Ji Zheng didn't answer in a hurry, took off his glasses, pinched the center of his brows, put them back on, and then smiled at him: "Didn't you hit the old man and run away?"

Min Chengzhou was taken aback for a moment, and was almost amused by him: "Do you want to go back to the police station with me?"

Ji Zheng smiled and raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said calmly: "I remember that we had an appointment first, and I will tell you what I know, but you can't activate the investigation procedure on me."

"Don't go online, have I checked you? I just want to know how you got the news."

"I don't want to explain, and I can't explain clearly. If you want to violate the agreement and take me back to the police station, then I can only submit to the power in your hands."

Min Chengzhou knew that although Ji Zheng looked suitable for both humans and animals, he was actually very powerful, and he knew very well that he was not Ji Zheng's opponent, so he could only give up and continue to question Ji Zheng. Ji Zheng took it back to the police station.

"Okay, Doctor Ji, I don't want to ask about your relationship with this Yang Shu. But you must at least let me know where Yang Shu is."

"Where do you think Yang Shu is?"

"How do I know? Just now, the surname Guan said that Yang Shu went home to visit his wife. If he really went home to visit his wife, would you ask me to ask Guan Li? So I won't ask you. Tell me where Yang Shu is." , I asked him directly."

Ji Zheng has never been optimistic about Min Chengzhou's IQ. At this moment, he suddenly realized that Min Chengzhou's mind was still very clear, so he nodded while watching Min Chengzhou, and said: "From now on, as long as you are optimistic about Guan Li, monitor With all his movements, he can lead you to find Yang Shu."

Ji Zheng had a plan in mind, and today he asked Min Chengzhou to ask Guan Li about Yang Shu, but it was actually a trick to startle the snake.If Guan Li was responsible for Yang Shu's death, or even for Yang Shu's body buried in the forest, then Min Chengzhou's visit today undoubtedly conveyed the message to Guan Li that the police are looking for Yang Shu.Then Guan Li is very likely to move Yang Shu's body, hide it in a more hidden place, or even destroy the body.So as long as Min Chengzhou sent someone to monitor Guan Li, he could follow Guan Li to find Yang Shu's body.

In this way, he can also stay out of it.

Min Chengzhou was taken aback for a moment: "You tell me something—"

Before the word 'clear' came out, he saw Ji Zheng suddenly turned his head, looked up at the sky, and ignored him.

Min Chengzhou: ...

He stared at Ji Zheng speechlessly, took out his mobile phone and went aside to make a call.

Taking advantage of Min Chengzhou's call, Ji Zheng gently opened the door and got into the car, and drove away, pretending not to see Min Chengzhou yelling at him from behind.

Ji Zheng drove forward for less than 5 minutes, and accidentally saw the back of a girl in a blue dress on the sidewalk. The girl had a large pattern-like tattoo on her right arm.The girl didn't take a few steps, and stopped in front of a shop selling cold drinks on the street.

Ji Zheng parked the car on the side of the road, walked towards the cold drink shop, and heard the clerk ask the girl: "What flavor of sundae do you want? Blueberry or vanilla?"

The girl looked down at the pictures on the menu, biting her nails in confusion. Just as she was about to make a choice, she heard a gentle and mellow male voice from behind her: "Is it hard to choose?"

She turned her head and saw Ji Zheng's face, she was stunned.

Ji Zheng smiled at her, and then said to the clerk, "I want both flavors, thank you."

The clerk quickly handed the two cups of sundaes in the bag to Ji Zheng, and Ji Zheng handed them to the girl again.The girl was still a little confused, so she took it and said thank you in a low voice.

Ji Zheng looked at her and smiled: "Do you still remember me? We met in the Deep Sea Club just now."

The girl remembered how embarrassed she was when she was scolded by the boss just now, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she said, "I remember."

Ji Zheng said: "Do you have time? I want to treat you to coffee."

The girl raised her head and looked at him slightly surprised.

Ji Zheng smiled and said, "By the way, I would like to ask you some questions about Susie."
