Grocery Store No.514

On October 3020, 10, outside the Braun Bar, a black car slowly drove up and parked the car in the designated parking area. Jiang Chengyan and Su Ke got out of the car one after another.

Looking at the signboard of the bar, Su Ke said with a smile: "This place is different from ordinary bars, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Different? What's the difference? Aren't they all here to get drunk?" Jiang Chengyan said disapprovingly.

"What's the difference, you'll know later. Let's go, let's go in." Su Ke walked to the door first after speaking.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengyan hurriedly followed, but was stopped by the security guard at the door.

"Two gentlemen stay behind, please show your membership card."

Su Ke took out his mobile phone from his pocket, showed his electronic membership card, and said flatly, "He's my friend, and it's his first time here."

The security guard let out the door and said with a smile, "Please come in, both of you."

The two entered the bar gate, Jiang Chengyan bumped Su Ke's arm, and said softly: "Su Ke, if there are no members, is it true that you won't be allowed to enter?"

Su Ke nodded and said: "The homosexual group is not very popular. Under the pressure of their parents and society, many people have to choose to hide it, and even marry women. Only such a bar that pays attention to privacy can let them get drunk with peace of mind."

Jiang Chengyan asked curiously: "Then what do you do with your membership card?"

"A friend brought me here. If a new face wants to go into a bar, they have to be brought in by a member."

"So it is."

The two walked through a long corridor, and when they turned in, they heard soft and soothing music. Under the dim light, the rows of seats were far apart, and the back of the sofa was tall. You can't hear what others say, and the privacy is very good.There was a bar in the center of the hall, on which sat a few sparse people, far apart from each other, holding wine glasses in their hands, but looking around.

Su Ke and Jiang Chengyan went straight to the bar, and the bartender greeted them enthusiastically: "Mr. Su, long time no see."

Su Ke was a little surprised and said: "I've only been here once, I didn't expect you to remember me."

The bartender looked at Jiang Chengyan, his eyes flashed with amazement, and said: "In our business, not only must be good craftsmanship, but also a good memory. What's more, Mr. Su is such a handsome guy, it's hard not to remember."

Seeing that the bartender looked at Jiang Chengyan from time to time even though he was talking to him, Su Ke smiled and said, "Give us two glasses of orange juice."

"Orange juice?" The bartender was taken aback, then reacted and said, "Okay, wait a moment, both of you."

Jiang Chengyan didn't find it strange, after all, they might have to go back to work overtime at night.He looked around to check the position of the surveillance probe.

Soon the bartender put the freshly squeezed orange juice in front of the two of them, and said with a smile, "You two, please use your orange juice slowly."

Jiang Chengyan took a sip, then put down the glass, took out Jiang Changping's photo from his pocket, handed it to the bartender, and said, "Do you know this person?"

The bartender took a look at the photo and said, "I don't know it."

"You have such a good memory. You can remember him once you see him. He is a frequent visitor. How could you not know him? Take a closer look."

The bartender said with some embarrassment: "Sir, we have a rule here that we are not allowed to disclose the information of the guests to anyone, otherwise I will lose my job."

While the two were talking, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over, sat down beside Jiang Chengyan, and said with a smile, "This handsome guy, can I buy you a drink?"

Jiang Chengyan was taken aback for a moment, noticing the man's unscrupulous eyes, he frowned slightly, before he could speak, Su Ke said with a smile: "Sorry, sir, he is mine."

Seeing that Jiang Chengyan didn't refute, the man said regretfully, "That's bothering you."

Jiang Chengyan didn't refute, it was entirely because he was overwhelmed by Su Ke's words.Seeing the man leave, Jiang Chengyan said softly, "Su Ke, what do you mean?"

Su Ke's eyes flashed, and he explained: "Everyone with a partner will go to the booth, and only single people will sit at the bar. That person obviously has a crush on you, and I'm helping you out."

Jiang Chengyan looked at the man again, and sure enough, he sat back to his original position, but kept looking at him.Although Jiang Chengyan felt a little weird, he didn't take it seriously. He took out his ID, looked at the bartender and said, "I'm a policeman, and I'm investigating the case. I hope you can cooperate."

The bartender was startled, but then he reacted and said, "Then I will ask the boss for instructions, please wait a moment."

The bartender walked to the side, took out his mobile phone and made a call. The voice was so low that he couldn't hear what he said at all, but Jiang Chengyan didn't care.The bartender hung up the phone, walked over and said, "I've met this man, his surname is Jiang. He came here often a year ago, but he didn't come here often after that. He probably found a partner."

Jiang Chengyan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then do you remember who he chatted up with or came with?"

"We receive a lot of guests every day, and I remember him because he is a regular customer. As for who he is with, I really don't know."

Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly, and then asked: "Do you remember the last time he came to the bar?"

"The last time..." The bartender thought for a while and said, "It was about two months ago, I can't remember the exact date. He seemed to be in a bad mood that day, and he sat at the bar and drank a lot until We closed and he left drunk."

"Two months ago? How long do you usually keep the surveillance video here?"

The bartender apologized and said: "I don't know about this, I have to ask the boss. Actually, I was not on duty that day. The reason why I knew he had been here was because my colleague mentioned that Mr. Jiang had conflicts with others that day, and the boss personally dealt with."

"Is that colleague of yours going to work today?"

"He left the job a month ago."

"Then what's his name, do you have his contact information?"

"His name is Zhang Hua, and his phone number is..." The bartender picked up his phone and searched, "188****5619. We haven't contacted him since he left the job, and we don't know if he changed his number."

Jiang Chengyan saved the number, and then asked, "Is your boss here?"

"The boss is usually not in the store. If you need to find him, I can help you."

"Then you call him, I have something to ask him."

"Wait a moment." The bartender picked up the phone to make a call, said a few words after answering the call, and handed the phone to Jiang Chengyan.

"Hello, hello, I'm Jiang Chengyan, team member of Hwaseong Criminal Investigation Team, are you the owner of Braun Bar?"

"Hello, Captain Jiang, I am, what do you want from me?" The voice sounded quite gentle and magnetic.

"May I ask how long the surveillance video of your bar is usually kept?"

"Half a year, it will be automatically deleted after half a year."

"Then I want to check the surveillance video."

"Sorry, Team Jiang, I'm not in Hwaseong right now, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow at the soonest. If you want to see it, come back during business hours the day after tomorrow."

"I see." Jiang Chengyan paused, and then asked: "Then do you remember Jiang Changping?"

"Jiang Changping?" The other party was silent for a while, and said, "Sorry, we have a lot of guests in the bar, and I don't remember everyone."

"Two months ago, he had a conflict with a customer in the bar. You handled it, don't you have any impression?"

"Two months ago..." The other party was silent for a while again, and said, "I really want to have some impressions when Captain Jiang said this, but I only remember his surname is Jiang. Did something happen to him?"

"It's inconvenient to disclose the details of the case, so we'll trouble the boss the day after tomorrow."

"You're welcome, it should be."

Jiang Chengyan hung up the phone, handed the phone to the bar, and said, "Thank you, let's pay the bill."

The bar said with a smile: "Team Jiang is welcome. If it is convenient, leave a contact information. If I think of anything, I can contact Team Jiang at any time."

Just as Jiang Chengyan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Su Ke, who smiled and said, "****7031, call this number if you think of anything."

The bartender who entered the number asked in embarrassment, "This is?"

"This is the phone number from the team. He is a criminal police officer. He often goes out on duty, and sometimes it is not convenient to answer the phone." Su Ke smiled, and then said: "Pay the bill."

The two settled their bills, turned around and left the bar.

Su Ke jokingly said, "Team Jiang, that's fine. After sitting for a long time, we recruited two people."

"Two people?" Jiang Chengyan was at a loss for a moment, and then said: "You mean the bartender..."

Su Ke laughed and said, "What do you think? Do normal straight men come to work here?"

Thinking of the scene of two men embracing and kissing in the booth just now, Jiang Chengyan nodded in agreement and said, "Now I finally understand what you mean by the difference."

Su Ke looked at him helplessly, he didn't want to say anything about Jiang Chengyan's slowness.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Jiang Chengyan didn't notice Su Ke's emotions at all.

Looking at Jiang Chengyan's back, Su Ke shook his head with a wry smile, and followed closely.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the gate of Su Ke's community.Su Ke turned to look at Jiang Chengyan, and said, "Why don't you go up and sit down?"

"No, I have to go back to the team."

"Okay, then don't be too late." After finally confirming the identity of the deceased, with Jiang Chengyan's workaholic nature, it was impossible for him to get home from get off work on time, Su Ke knew it very well, so he didn't struggle.

Jiang Chengyan agreed, and after Su Ke got out of the car, he drove back to the police station.After parking the car, Jiang Chengyan looked at the time, then looked at the grocery store opposite, and muttered softly: "There is still half an hour, will it be too bad if it passes now?"

After wandering around the gate of the police station a few times, Jiang Chengyan still walked towards the opposite side.

Because Wang Lei was sent by Ling Huaan to follow Li Qiuran, the blind Ling Huaan had no choice but to hire a part-time job, a junior student at Longcheng University named Sun Ming.

"Boss, there seems to be a man peeping outside the door." Sun Ming whispered in Ling Hua'an's ear.

Ling Huaan didn't speak, turned around and left the cash register, opened the store door, and said, "Team Jiang, come in."

Jiang Chengyan was taken aback for a moment, and said a little embarrassingly: "I just arrived too..."
