Li Zan and Chen Jie went back to Lane 11, Ji Chengling was in charge of escorting Lu Xinda back to the police station, the two sides temporarily parted ways.

On the way, Li Zan asked as he walked, "Tell me about the deceased's personality, popularity and relationships."

Chen Jie quickly followed Li Zan's rhythm: "The deceased is outgoing, popular, and has many friends. She is the team leader of the nightclub and is in charge of accompanying drinks... Literally accompanying drinks. At the wine table I know a lot of people online, and from what her colleagues say, they are basically bosses who spend money generously."

"sociable?"

Li Zan slowed down so that Chen Jie would not be too tired to follow. He turned his face slightly, looked straight ahead but made a gesture of listening.

Chen Jie: "No one said it was bad."

Li Zan smiled and said, "Who dares to say something bad at this time?" He changed the subject and asked, "Is there any emotional dispute?"

Chen Jie nodded, and used a subtle word to describe: "Rich. Xiao Hua is good-looking, with a lively personality and will come to trouble, and never lacks admirers. She worked in the nightclub in Jinyuan Square for a year, and changed three men. Friends, the most recent one broke up two months ago." Pausing for a few seconds, she added: "Break up peacefully, no disputes."

Li Zan walked silently to the entrance of Building 11 on Lane 7, and glanced at the wonton shop opposite. There was no one else in the shop except the proprietress.

He turned back as if nothing had happened, walked up the stairs, and asked a question that didn't match: "How much is the monthly salary for the nightclub area foreman and team leader?"

"what?"

Chen Jie has no experience in criminal investigation, so all the anti-pornography experience accumulated in the past few years and the knowledge learned in the police academy have to be discarded in the direction of criminal investigation.

Her method of investigation and interrogation was so standard that she couldn't solve an overly complicated case at all, so she never thought about the connection between the monthly salary of the nightclub staff and the case.

At this moment, she was a little confused, but fortunately she remembered that Ji Chengling had asked a similar question.

"The regional foreman's monthly basic salary + commission is about [-], and the team leader's basic salary + wine commission is about [-] to [-]."

"so tall?"

"The industry leader and the peak season. Under normal circumstances, the monthly salary is basically around 5 to 6."

Li Zan understood, stopped on the ninth floor, and knocked on Room 901 where the deceased had lived.

A middle-aged woman came to open the door. She was a nightclub kitchen helper and was responsible for the hygiene of the store. Her name was Sister Lian.

Sister Lian: "Who are you?"

Li Zan took out his ID: "Interpol."

Sister Lian was terrified and puzzled: "What happened? I didn't do anything wrong, comrade policeman."

Sister Lian didn't go to work until six o'clock in the afternoon, so she didn't know about the police going to the store to check.

Chen Jie briefly explained the matter, but Sister Lian couldn't believe it, and even said 'impossible'.

"Yesterday, I heard that the dismembered corpse was found at the old well in Nine Alleys, and I still thought it was unreal, but it turned out that the girl who died was that girl Xiao Hua?! This... is a sinful, immoral, and atrocious thing." Sister Lian sighed pitifully. Fan, not hiding his worry and curiosity: "Comrade police, will this murderer come out to kill others? Who did Xiao Hua kill?"

Chen Jie dismissed Sister Lian's curiosity by casually saying 'the case is confidential and will not be made public for the time being'.

Li Zan never bothered to appease the hearts of the people. Seeing that Chen Jie could handle it, he took the initiative to walk inside.

The house has three bedrooms and one living room. There are three bunk beds in the master bedroom, and two bunk beds in each of the two secondary bedrooms. Wardrobe and tabletops fill up the spare space in the house.There are even two iron beds placed in the open space of the living room, and suitcases and all kinds of sundries are piled up in the corner, cramped and cramped.

Most of the dormitories of company employees are narrow and crowded, and this one is one of the typical representatives.

Li Zan checked the master bedroom and a second bedroom, only glanced at the door and immediately closed it, unscrewed the door of the last second bedroom, and walked in.

Chen Jie followed in: "Which one is Xiao Hua's bed?"

Li Zan stopped on the lower bunk of the iron bed by the window, did not reply, and focused on searching for clues.

The lower bunk on the iron bed by the window is covered with yellow goose down blankets and neatly folded quilts, there are pink dolls next to the pillows, photos and a dozen photo stickers are pasted on the wall.No one sleeps on the upper bunk, and there are two large suitcases and seven or eight bags.

The pink is tender and clean, a girl's bed.

Chen Jie: "Exquisite woman."

Li Zan took pictures of the wall, the bed, upper bunk, wardrobe and the table next to her bed, and then clicked through the gallery to look through each one, making sure nothing was missed before going out to the second bedroom.

Hearing Chen Jie's evaluation, Li Zan asked casually, "Aren't all of you girls like this?"

Chen Jie ordered it as soon as she arrived: "I, a quilt is enough."

She is not worthy of the word "exquisite woman".

Li Zan went to the living room and asked Sister Lian, "The deceased has been missing for four days. Has any of you thought of calling the police?"

Sister Lian: "Xiao Hua doesn't live in the dormitory very much, she has been living with the men outside. Different men, they will change every once in a while, saying that they are talking about friends. After talking about people, they will rent a better house in the community outside. She lives outside. But the monthly utility bills are paid on time.”

Li Zan: "She should often go back to the dormitory recently."

"That's true." Sister Lian said: "I heard that the friend I was talking about collapsed again and was kicked out. So women can't rely on men, they can't be relied on."

She was eager to describe more about Xiao Hua's embarrassing scene of being kicked out of the house by a man, her face was full of sympathy and hindsight's 'insights'.

Crashed?Not a peaceful breakup?

Li Zan put his hands in his pockets without showing any signs of expression.Chen Jie showed a slightly surprised look, but she couldn't hide it.

Li Zan stared at the railing of the balcony, where a bush of green radishes hung, occupying a corner of the balcony.He asked in a low voice: "Xiao Hua didn't go back to the dormitory, maybe she lived outside, so you don't think it's strange that she didn't go to work?"

Sister Lian hesitated for a moment, thinking that everyone would be dead anyway, so she simply said, "In fact, she often misses work, and the foreman turns a blind eye to her."

After listening to her explanation, Li Zan opened the balcony door and took a picture of the lady's messenger bag under the bush of green radish.

Sister Lian stretched her neck and said in surprise: "That's Xiao Hua's bag!"

Chen Jie also came to take a look, and when she saw the nameplate of the bag, she couldn't help but gasped, and said from the heart of a poor household: "My good boy. Famous brand! The latest model!"

Poor women also want to have.

Li Zan: "Let's go."

"Eh?"

Chen Jie, who felt that she hadn't found anything, was full of doubts, but she still did her ideological work to deal with the aftermath. Sister Chong Lian gave a few words of advice and followed Li Zan away.

There is no elevator in this building, so you can only climb up and down on two legs.

Li Zan and Li Zan soon reached the second floor, where a short woman in a red sweater stood at the door of 203 facing the stairs.

Both parties glanced at each other when they missed each other. Li Zan recognized her as the middle-aged woman who was at the same table with the man with taste disorder in the wonton shop just now. She seemed to be called... Mrs. Lin?

The short woman in the red sweater took out a large bunch of keys to open the door when she saw them going down the stairs, and the keys jingled.

Li Zan glanced up and saw the rather spectacular bunch of keys, feeling his teeth ache.

This is actually a charter woman who owns a building, disrespectful.

Jinyuan Plaza.

On the right side of Jinyuan Square, there is a wide road called Chajing Street, which divides the area of ​​Chajing Street into two halves.On the other side is the village in the city, with a large number of farmer's buildings and hand-in-hand buildings, mixed with fish and dragons, and the security situation depends on self-consciousness.

The remaining half are neat and orderly communities, commercial plazas and office buildings, which is a sharp contrast in a sense.

The several gates of Jinyuan Plaza are full of people, and chain industries such as supermarkets, cinemas, and restaurants are all available. The underground parking lot on the far left is full of traffic, and the horizontal bar never stops.

There was a row of cars parked in a surface parking lot across the square, and the window of one of the Santanas was pulled halfway, revealing Zhao Yanli in the driver's seat in business attire.

While making a phone call, Zhao Yanli pulled down his sunglasses and stared at the man next to the fountain in Jinyuan Square opposite. He was watching street performers painting while the people next to him were looking at him.

Or passing by, or pretending to look casually, or stopping to take a peek, once the eyes and attention touch the walking morning star, they cannot be diverted, and they are firmly sucked.

"Yeah... I know, okay, hey, I know, I promise to be obedient and sensible, and I won't spoil the blind date banquet you worked so hard to arrange. I'm at the place, so I'll hang up."

Zhao Yanli hung up the phone, thinking that if the blind date could have one-tenth of the appearance and temperament of the man opposite, she would be fine.

Slamming the car door, Zhao Yanli was about to walk towards Jinyuan Square when he happened to see Li Zan walking slowly from the main road on the right.

The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Dongcheng District Bureau, a public official with a mediocre history of dereliction of duty!

When Zhao Yanli learned of Li Zan's identity from the seniors at the main station, he was [-]% contemptuous of Li Zan's character, and [-]% was excited about discovering the intertwining of incumbents' inaction and vicious corpse cases.

Although her senior warned her not to touch public servants, especially to pay less attention to Li Zan, and said that this person was not easy to mess with, she would rather offend the chief of the district police station than offend him.

But in Zhao Yanli's view, these "advice" are nothing but proof that her seniors are cowardly and that Li Zan may abuse his power for profit, and it will only strengthen her determination to track down Li Zan and expose his corrupt face.

Zhao Yanli clenched the phone tightly and approached Li Zan's direction.

A circle of ulterior motives surrounded the fountain, and Li Zan, who had excellent eyesight and no problems, naturally saw it.

He also recognized Jiang Heng who was at the center of the crowd. When the latter raised his head, the two of them looked at each other.

Jiang Heng greeted him with a nod of his head and a smile, showing his reserved big white teeth. His gesture felt that if he had a tall hat on his head, he could take it off as a gentlemanly manner.

The standard of kindness is like condolences to the people.

Li Zan had no expression on his face, and walked through the square through the crowd.

Destination went straight to the nightclub.

It was approaching noon, and the nightclub was not open yet. The three or two people who cleaned the store subconsciously looked back at the bar when they saw Chen Jie recognize it.

A young man at the bar was wiping the wine glass, threw the towel into the hot water basin for disinfection, wrung it dry, and continued to scrub.

"Everyone is off work, and you won't be able to find anyone when you come again." The young man at the bar said without raising his head.

Chen Jie introduced in a low voice: "He is the nightclub owner."

This nightclub is located on the basement floor of Jinyuan Plaza. It is decorated horizontally and high-grade, and includes a trinity entertainment function of KTV, bar and dance hall.The confidentiality and security are quite high, and you can't afford it without any background.

Li Zan sat on the high chair at the bar, with his toes pointing to the ground, his eyes swept across the row of high-end wines behind the bar.

Foreign wines and domestic liquors with a price of several thousand or more tens of thousands are basically available, and the row in front of you alone costs millions.

The owner of the nightclub looked at Li Zan and asked, "What would you like to drink? I'll buy the first drink for good-looking people, regardless of gender."

"Orange juice."

"..." The owner of the nightclub poured a glass of pure juice with a look of grievance on his face, and then asked Chen Jie expectantly, "What wine do you want?"

Chen Jie: "Tsingtao Brewery."

The nightclub owner said with a dark face, "No."

Chen Jie: I saw it obviously.

In the end, the owner of the nightclub mixed a cocktail with low alcohol content, but the mixing process was so thrilling that the owner had to change into clean clothes with his face covered in alcohol.

Chen Jie: "... talent."

It was the first time I saw a bartender who could blow up the shaker and spray wine all over his face. The key is that he is still persistent and confident that he is a master bartender.

Li Zan was holding the glass of orange juice, and his fingertips absorbed the cold temperature.

"It's not a serious bartender." He said, "When he first came in, he was cleaning up the bar, and the bar was full of exploded drinks and ice cubes. Didn't you see it?"

No, really not.

Chen Jie fell into self-reflection, took a sip of the cocktail silently, and found that the taste was not bad.

Ten minutes later, the nightclub owner came back in a casual outfit, looking like a college student who just left society.Leaning against the inside of the bar, he said in a cooperative and friendly manner between the police and the people: "Ask, you can ask any questions, and I can answer and promise not to lie."

Li Zan was also very cooperative, and asked bluntly: "What was the name of Xiao Hua's last boyfriend? Where did he work? Do you have any contact information?"

Nightclub owner: "Zhang Fuqing, the boss of a construction company, is a big client with a lot of money. As for the contact information... wait a minute," he took out a notebook that looked like a table foot from under the bar, dusted it off, and pressed the initials. Alphabet found Zhang Fuqing's contact information: "Here, this is his mobile phone number."

Li Zan wrote down the number, and then praised like pouring beans: "Look, young people nowadays have high awareness, and the harmonious relationship between the police and the people depends on the people with high awareness. A socialist harmonious society and a happy and safe life need Let's build it together. Then the last question-"

"Where did you get the wine in your store?"

Five minutes ago, the faucet in the men's bathroom on the first floor was turned on, and the water was running, but no one was using it.

Jiang Heng sent a text message on his cell phone, then emptied it, stuffed the cell phone back into his pocket, and turned off the faucet after washing his hands.

While drying his hands and looking in the mirror, he also combed his hair meticulously.

When he came out, the phone in his pocket vibrated to remind him of a text message, but Jiang Heng pressed delete without even looking at it.

At the same time, Zhao Yanli entered the nightclub and secretly turned on the mobile video and recording equipment.

After Li Zan asked about the purchase channel of drinks, the atmosphere froze for a moment. The nightclub owner who was originally a "police and civilian family" immediately put away his friendly smile and stared at him expressionlessly.

Chen Jie didn't know why, but she felt nervous intuitively, so she remained vigilant.

Li Zan drank the orange juice, as if he just asked the question casually.

The owner of the nightclub pressed his hands on the dark and translucent marble of the bar, approached Li Zan, stared straight at him, and asked curiously, "Your criminal investigation office is still in charge of market supervision?"

Li Zan didn't even move his eyelids, and said calmly: "It is common for all departments to work together and assist each other."

It was closing time, and only a small light was turned on next to the bar. The light was not very bright, and originally only a vague outline could be seen.Now that he got closer, the nightclub owner realized that the Comrade Public Security was so handsome.

The shadow of the light was cast on one side of Li Zan's cheek, as if following the shadow of the powder cake, deepening the outline and three-dimensional facial features, making him so handsome that people are jealous.

"Comrade police, it's not that I don't cooperate. The key is that you are not food quality inspection and market supervision. It is unreasonable to rush to our drinking water purchase channels." The nightclub owner went back and continued to wipe his wine glass: "Unless market supervision Come. Excuse me."

Drinks in nightclubs and bars generally have their own purchase channels, and there are various channels, such as online shopping, or cooperation with local tobacco and alcohol companies.

If you want to buy a large amount of alcoholic beverages at the lowest price, you will generally choose to wholesale them at a local tobacco and alcohol firm.If there are special channels, you can buy high-priced drinks at the lowest wholesale price.

The shadow hit Li Zan's face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

After being rejected by the boss, Li Zan was not angry. He drank the last sip of orange juice, got up and left neatly.

"See you in the afternoon."

"..."

I don't want to see you at all!

The nightclub owner was thinking about giving himself a week or two of vacation, and he decided to go out early for his annual vacation.

Just thinking about this, the mobile phone next to his right hand vibrated to remind him of a new text message. He opened it to read it, his face was as ugly as coal dust, and at the same time, he showed a little puzzlement.

"Wait!" The nightclub owner rubbed his hands together and smiled kindly. "After thinking about it carefully, I feel that building a harmonious society requires me. My blood is surging and my enthusiasm is boiling. Come, let me tell you."

Li Zan showed a disgusted expression without hesitation.

Chen Jie: "Maybe he returned from studying art in Tianjin."

Li Zan: "The one who was expelled from the school?"

The owner of the nightclub lowered his voice and said, "Longshen Tobacco and Alcohol Firm. Don't say I said it, keep it a secret. Let's pretend we don't know. If it gets out, no one will sell my cigarettes and alcohol."

Li Zan: "Just kidding, China's e-commerce is the world's number one, and no one will push formal business outside."

Hearing this, the nightclub owner smiled embarrassingly.

At this time, the cleaning waiter found Zhao Yanli who was secretly filming, and quickly grabbed her and shouted: "Who are you? How did you secretly film? Hand over the video!"

Li Zan turned around, recognized Zhao Yanli, and immediately stepped forward.

Seeing this, Zhao Yanli hurriedly splashed the water in the cup into the waiter's eyes, took the opportunity to shake it off and fled to the door.

Li Zan grabbed the railing and jumped up the stairs and ran up. It happened that a person came in the door and blocked Zhao Yanli's way.

"what--!"

Zhao Yanli ran too fast, couldn't stop for a moment, sprained his foot and fell backwards, with Li Zan behind him.Li Zan grabbed her hand quickly with sharp eyesight, and used his skill to hold Zhao Yanli from falling.

In the end, Zhao Yanli didn't know whether he was frightened or out of inertia, but he pushed Li Zan instead.

Seeing that he was about to roll down the stairs, Jiang Heng who suddenly appeared at the door quickly grabbed Li Zan's arm.

A huge force from the arm stopped the momentum of the falling down, and under the action of inertia, he fell back and turned over, his back hit the wall heavily and made a muffled sound.

The bones creaked and screamed and moaned, as if frantically protesting against the unexpected.But Li Zan didn't have time to take care of his back that was hit hard. He stared at the man's face who was approaching quickly, his pupils gradually enlarged, and he was about to touch him.

Li Zan made a fist with his right hand, reflexively, and the fist moved towards the abdomen of the man who was pressing down with the wind.

Nightclub owner: "woc!"

Chen Jie: "I lost it!"

At the critical moment, Jiang Heng put his right hand across Li Zan's ear to support the wall and successfully supported the forward body.The arms were tense and the veins were bursting, but the palms were firmly branded on the wall, and the fine dust of the wall fell off.

At the same time, Li Zan's right hand barely touched Jiang Heng's abdomen and then stopped abruptly. Jiang Heng's work jacket was shaken by the wind of the fist and then stopped.

The two looked at each other, close at hand.

Face to face, breathing is slightly hot, the tip of the nose is one centimeter apart, and they can offer their lips to each other just one centimeter away.

Not only sticking firmly, but also bleeding profusely, let's have a passionate 'spicy kiss'.

Li Zan's arm was being grabbed, his back was pressed against the wall, and Jiang Heng's arm lay beside his ear.

Apart from gender and location, the first time in life has been given by the wall.

Li Zan lowered his eyes slowly, looked at the long leg inserted between his legs, and admitted that even without the "spicy kiss", this posture was hot enough.

The owner of the nightclub silently held out his mobile phone, as sick as he was, taking pictures was not enough, so he turned on the camera.

Chen Jie turned pale with shock: "Our boss's clean and innocent body—" Seeing that the two of them didn't meet, she wept with joy: "I've saved it!"

Nightclub owner Zhao Yanli: "..."

Jiang Heng stepped back to the bottom of the wall, not against the wall, and his posture was a little casual and lazy. He held his strained right wrist with his left hand and pressed to relieve the temporary paralysis caused by the impact.

He raised his head and looked at Li Zan, and expressed his affection first: "You are welcome. The police and the people are in love with each other. Your innocence is my responsibility."

"Didi sees the truth, let's work together to create harmony." Li Zan also showed red hearts, without changing his face the whole time: "Your thoughts and political awareness stand on the same moral level as conscience."

Jiang Heng: "You're welcome."

Li Zan: "Should."

Both sides showed impeccable smiles at the same time, passed each other up and down and returned to their indifferent expressions at the same time.

Li Zan: "Chen Jie, throw the handcuffs over here."

Chen Jie at the bottom quickly threw up the handcuffs, and Li Zan caught them without raising his head, opened them and handcuffed Zhao Yanli who was still in shock and didn't have time to run away: "Is it a reporter? Let's go to the police station together."

Zhao Yanli regained his senses, regained his composure, and gradually increased his tone: "I did not break the law. You have violated the crime of perverting the law and my civil liberties by detaining me privately, Captain Li."

Hearing this, Li Zan narrowed his eyes, stuffed the handcuff key into his pocket in front of her, and laughed at the same time: "The investigation is very clear, come prepared?"

His pupils were cold and black, revealing a rage that was suppressed to the extreme and only remained as thin as a blade.

"Who said there was no law breaking?" Li Zan twisted his shoulder that had been hit hard, and there was a 'click' sound from the bones, and he said lightly, "Is this not assaulting the police?"

"you!!"

Zhao Yanli was originally afraid because of that sharp gaze, but he never expected that Li Zan, the majestic criminal investigation team leader, would be able to fabricate her hooligan behavior of attacking the police!

"You slandered me, you are taking personal revenge!!"

Li Zan was expressionless and impatient.Journalists who put people's livelihood first are indeed one of the most annoying creatures in the world, buzzing like flies and spreading viruses by the way.

"Chen Jie, take her back."

"Row."

Chen Jie quickly ran up, pulled Zhao Yanli up and pushed him out.

When Li Zan left, he looked down. Below was the dark nightclub infield. The nightclub owner and Jiang Heng seemed to be standing side by side, but in fact there was a subtle distance between them.

The stance and position are too ingenious to be easily recognizable.

That is the relationship of subordination and leadership.

For a very brief moment, as fast as a flash of white light, Li Zan and Jiang Heng looked at each other, secretly weighing each other but could not come up with an answer.

One is behind the light and the other is in the light and shadow. No one can see who is clear.

Li Zan's car is a Citroen C6 shared by the bureau. This brand is very popular among police car brands in Guangzhou.However, the police car he drove had no obvious markings on its body, and it was usually used in various situations where it was inconvenient to disturb suspects.

Li Zan opened the car door and got into the co-pilot, Chen Jie was in the driver's seat, and Zhao Yanli was locked in the back seat.

With the motor started, Chen Jie turned the steering wheel and drove into Chajing Street. Seeing that Li Zan's sleeves were rolled up a few times, and his exposed elbows were full of small particles that hadn't calmed down, she couldn't help asking with concern: "Captain Li, the weather is a little bit It's cold, how about turning on the heater in the car?"

Li Zan: "No need."

Chen Jie turned the steering wheel to the right: "Aren't you getting goosebumps from the cold?"

"It's not because of the cold."

"?"

"too disgusting."
