monologue

"Han Shaocheng said that his niece Meng Yue disappeared on the 29th. We went to the Xinyue Branch to ask the comrades who were investigating the case, and they had no clue about the case. The surveillance has also been checked, and no clues have been found. The comrades over there are also worried. Even if an eight-year-old girl is kidnapped, it is not so easy to be taken out of Qingshi. , just disappeared for no reason."

"No reason? The most feared thing is no reason." Chu Xingmu raised his eyelids.

Tang Zhe asked: "What about the other missing case?"

"The other time is too long, and it is not easy to check."

Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci sat at their respective desks. Tang Zhe reported the basic situation he and Bai Yao had learned. Chu Xingmu pondered for a while and said: "Let that Han Shaocheng come over again, I have some Ask him about it."

"Ok."

"If you don't go to see Director Li, he will be able to skin you now." Xia Ci pointed to the direction of the director's office, Chu Xingmu crossed his arms and thought for a while before getting up and heading towards the direction of the director's office.

Xia Ci turned around and asked Bai Yao: "Is Han Shaocheng the artist who beat someone up in the entertainment news?"

Bai Yao didn't expect that her straight-male deputy team would still pay attention to entertainment news, so she gave him some science: "Yes, the person he hit was the popular actor Xizheng. It's hot, Han Shaocheng's agency terminated his contract the next day, and his fledgling career as an actor came to an end. It is said that the reason why Xizheng was beaten was because he provoked his senior, Shen Si, because they were both in the same agency company."

"For Shen Si? Who is Shen Si?" Xia Ci showed the same expression as Tang Zhe before.

Bai Yao deeply felt the hardships of the road to Amway, and said, "Deputy team, can you and your junior brother get in touch with the world?"

"Watching entertainment news is connecting with the world?" Xia Ci asked her, Bai Yao pursed her lips and made a smirk, "I understand why Sister Lang always teases you about being single."

"She teased me? We're right." Xia Ci turned around and ignored Bai Yao.

Bai Yao muttered in a low voice: "There are a lot of people chasing Sister Lang."

Xia Ci's ears heard it, and he turned around and asked her, "Who is chasing Lang Lang?"

Bai Yao immediately shook her head: "Let me give you an example." Lang Lang, who was interviewing Zhao Chen in Chang'an District, sneezed twice. She rubbed her nose and thought she was going to catch a cold.

A case of missing a young girl 15 years ago and a recent case of missing a young girl. The two cases are separated by 15 years. They have nothing in common. It is impossible to know whether it is good or bad to collide together.

The nightlife of young people is rich and colorful. The end of the day is work, and the real carnival comes after nightfall.

Chu Xingmu took off his sunglasses, sat in the cab and looked at the rearview mirror to sort out his appearance. He put on a suit that he hadn't worn for a long time. Chu Xingmu looked down at the time on his watch. At eleven o'clock in the evening, he looked at himself in the rearview mirror. Chu Xingmu felt that today's style is not bad, and he can wear it as a daily wear next time, but in a suit Investigating crimes and catching thieves is a luxury.

The car was parked in a parking space on the side of the road, Chu Xingmu fastened his shirt cuff buttons and walked into a bar.

The glass door reflecting the light was pushed open, and the rhythmic DJ music came out immediately. After Chu Xingmu deposited something at the front desk, he walked in with the waiter. The passage was not crowded, but the drunk People will fill up the way in and out.

"Be careful." A drunk-looking man tripped over the carpet under his feet and fell towards Chu Xingmu who was facing him. Chu Xingmu stretched out his arms to pick up the man, and the man leaned against him On the wall, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chu Xingmu, then lowered his head.

The other party said something vaguely, Chu Xingmu only heard two words "thank you", and then the man staggered out, Chu Xingmu squeezed the things in his hand and continued to walk towards the dance floor , The slow-moving youths bumped into him one by one, and he strode towards the private room behind the dance floor without stopping. Chu Xingmu unfolded the note in his hand and took a look, then stuffed the note into the cigarette case , and then walked into a box as if he had been instructed.

"I was just about to leave." After Chu Xingmu pushed the door and went in, a man lying on a half-person sofa with a magazine on his face said lightly.

Chu Xingmu unbuttoned his suit and sat opposite him, and said with a smile: "Your work is so successful that you are even harder to see than a star."

The man took the magazine away from his face and sat up. He pointed to his eyes and said, "It's not easy being a babysitter for someone with two years of dark circles."

"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business." Chu Xingmu glanced at the drinks on the table, except for coffee, there was plain water, and he chose to drink plain water in order to have a good night's sleep.

"Don't touch the coffee, I'm still busy today." The man immediately brought the coffee on the table, and Chu Xingmu didn't bother to raise his eyes.

"They have made some changes recently, especially in terms of personnel."

Chu Xingmu raised his chin to signal for him to continue, and he picked up an entertainment magazine and read it. The headlines on the section were printed on the artist conflicts that had been raging these days. In addition to text descriptions, the magazine also Attached the high-definition uncensored photos of the scene, Chu Xingmu raised his eyebrows and found that the person he met at the door was a bit like the person in the magazine.

"Cheng Hai has suppressed Shen Si for so many years in order to support Xizheng. After Shen Si and his agent set up their own company, Xizheng has already lost his position. Cheng Hai has no countermeasures yet. There seems to be something wrong with the company."

"what is the problem?"

"The artist director has resigned. According to Cheng Hai's tone, the resignation is not smooth. This is a matter for the HR department. It is not convenient for me as an agent to inquire about it."

Chu Xingmu turned over a page of the magazine and asked, "Except for this resignation, how much do you know about the company's accounts and finances?"

"I can't directly intervene in the financial aspect, and he has no intention of handing it over to me. It's very difficult to take over."

"It's been two years and I still haven't trusted you?" Chu Xingmu asked in surprise.

"Captain Chu, do you know what kind of tree you want to pull up?" The man smiled helplessly and lay back on the sofa.

"Look deeper, I'm not very optimistic, too many people are involved."

Chu Xingmu smiled and said: "I can't uproot this tree alone, and I can't stand someone trying to uproot it."

"Besides us, I found that there are two other people looking into Chenghai." The man took out a stack of photos from his jacket pocket, and Chu Xingmu stretched out his arm to take the photos back.

"Child?" Chu Xingmu looked at the photos carefully. Most of the photos showed a short and fat man with different girls, and most of them were taken at the entrance of hotels and restaurants.

"In the past two years, he has adopted no less than 15 adoptive daughters, ranging in age from eight to [-] years old. I have seen one or two of them. Cheng Hai never let me take over his work. My daily life is to follow Xi Zheng Beside me, even though I asked Xizheng some things on the sidelines, Xizheng acted as if he really didn't know."

"Do these children have no parents?"

"I've never met their parents." The man's tone became serious.

"No matter what method you use, you have to find useful evidence before Cheng Hai makes the next move." Chu Xingmu habitually touched the cigarette case in his pocket, then put his hand down again after a second thought.

"You should quit smoking."

"As long as it's not drugs, I don't care what I smoke." Chu Xingmu smiled indifferently, and then put away the stack of photos.

"What I mean is that perfume can't cover up the smell of cigarettes on your body. Don't spray it next time you go out." The man took a sip of coffee from the table, and then glanced at the time. There were several piercing cell phone ringtones, and Chu Xingmu and he turned their gazes to the cell phone in the corner of the table at the same time.

Chu Xingmu put a note on the table, and when the person answered the phone, he got up and opened the door of the box. The huge waves of music on the dance floor rushed into the box. He took out the cigarette case and lighter from inside, leaned against the box door and lit a cigarette, but he didn't hear a word of the other party's conversation.When the other party's phone call was almost over, Chu Xingmu also finished his cigarette.

"Xizheng and Chenghai asked me to go back, I have to go now, and I found out that you know one of the people Cha Chenghai has." The man picked up his coat and said as he walked, looking very anxious, Chu Xingmu didn't stop him.

"Nan mansion, that one knows no less than me." Chu Xingmu looked at the figure of the other party leaving in a hurry, and squeezed out the sparks on the cigarette butt with his hands. He delivered the things, but he still didn't know what he wanted to know, Chu Xingmu Mu found a trash can, threw the cigarette butts in, and left the bar.

The South Mansion has always been a strange place, with a strange name and a strange boss, but such a strange place is a detective agency. The police and detectives have cooperated a lot. Most of the ordinary private investigators are responsible for civil investigations, commercial investigations and marriage counseling. Detective agencies seldom take on major and important cases, and the investigation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and sometimes life-threatening. Chu Xingmu has cooperated with the South Mansion many times, because most of the things that are inconvenient for the police to investigate are taken over by the detective agency. He and The owner of the South Mansion is also an old acquaintance.

In the middle of the night, most stores are closed except for 24-hour convenience stores. It is not easy to find a barber shop that is not closed at this time. Wen Ti looked up at the barber shop light sign with flashing lights, and walked away Into the barber shop.

"Mr. Wen, what color do you want to dye?" The barber handed the color card to Wen Ti, who politely took the color card and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, just dye it black." .”

"Should I cut it shorter?"

"No, just dye it." Wen Ti sat on the barber chair and looked at the dark purple hair in the mirror. Although he didn't want to cater to other people's eyes, he had to dye his hair back to black to be more convincing.

Wen Ti looked down and saw the message from the mobile phone, a message sent to him by a person he hadn't contacted for a long time, Wen Ti dialed Wen Ruo's phone, Wen Ruo must be resting at this time, anyway, he would definitely not be like Wen Ti also came out to dye her hair after 14 o'clock in the middle of the night. Wen Ti had heard about it in the recent entertainment news. The protagonist Shen Si happened to be Wen Ruo's friend for many years. The two met during college. They have known each other for about [-] years.

"This world is really small." Wen Ti said after the call was connected.

"What's the matter with calling at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?" Wen Ruo on the other end of the phone was still dissatisfied with being woken up. He ran for a day to announce that he was pulled out of sleep by Wen Ti not long after he had a rest.

"What's the relationship between Gu Yan and Shen Si?" Wen Ti asked.

"You know Gu Yan, why don't you ask him?"

"We don't know each other very well. Someone followed me recently, and I can always feel gazes and cameras from different directions." Wen Ti is very sensitive to gazes and cameras.

Wen Ruo became nervous and asked, "Who followed you?"

"I guess it has something to do with you guys. I saw a magazine in the mailbox of the studio the day before yesterday. Someone put it in the mailbox for the set you invited me to shoot four years ago. I have nothing to do with Gu Yan. It's not because of me that he quit the entertainment industry, but I always feel that this matter is not easy." Wen Ti expressed her concerns based on what happened around him in the past few days.

Wen Ruo was silent for a while, then said: "I'll find you tomorrow, be careful, I'll tell Xiang Qin."

"No, it's good that he doesn't provide my traces to others. I'm afraid that if he finds out, I will die sooner."

"What are you talking about, Xiang Qin is your brother after all."

Wen Ti smiled and said, "There is only an agreement between us, have you forgotten? You are still a witness."

Wen Ruo didn't want to entangle with Wen Ti about blood relationship and agreement, his good friend Shen Si was dragged into the water, Wen Ti was followed by someone, plus some things that Shen Si encountered before, he had a bad premonition, as if there was something Bad things are brewing, and even another friend of his has encountered troublesome things. There are so many coincidences in this world.

"Tomorrow I have something to do, and I have a new job. I may not go to the studio often in the future. Tell Mr. Housekeeper for me that the new assistant is very good. I plan to let her be my personal assistant. I don't need to go to the studio anymore." Crowding people into the studio."

Wen Ruo doesn't have any expectations for Wen Ti's new job, as long as Wen Ti is happy, he opened the studio because Wen Ti likes to paint. Can't even draw.

Wen Ruo said helplessly: "He will be angry again when he finds out."

Wen Ti said: "Brother, help me coax Mr. Housekeeper."

Wen Ruo: "..."

"I'll hang up after I finish speaking, you are the best at disturbing people's dreams." Wen Ruo hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Wen Ti deleted the unread message. In Wen Ruo's words, it's a pity that Wen Ti didn't enter the entertainment circle. Her style of conversation, demeanor, temperament and external image are all the same, but Wen Tizhi ​​is not here.

A friend of Wen Ruo's photographer once took photos for Wen Ti and Wen Ruo. Wen Ti was recommended by Wen Ruo to the magazine four years ago. He was only 16 years old, he looked like a melancholy boy, with curly hair covering his neck, like a handsome boy walking out of a western painting, he was already wearing a suit at that time, his figure was thin and straight, there was a difference in appearance between 16 and 20 years old It's not very big, it's just a little taller. After the magazine was released, it caused a sensation, but Wen Ti didn't appear in the public eye like the magazine. At that time, the popular young actor Gu Yan announced that he would quit the entertainment industry indefinitely. Wen Ti's news was dissipated in this way. Speaking of Gu Yan's withdrawal from the entertainment industry, it had something to do with Wen Ti.
