gentle reunion

The police found out that the last place He Wenyu went to was the clubhouse—she called a taxi using a taxi-hailing app, so it was easy to find the destination.

It's the first club again.

The police asked to see the surveillance video of the clubhouse.

The surveillance footage near the gate showed that He Wenyu came out about half an hour after entering the primary club, but she fell while still some distance from the gate, and a security guard ran over to help her up and took her Helped back to the clubhouse.

Police: "Isn't that security guard the Liu Hui we're looking for?!"

The colleague nodded: "Yes, it seems to be him."

They hurriedly checked other surveillance videos, and tracked all the way, and finally saw Liu Hui helping He Wenyu into a yard. The video was cut off at this point, because there was no surveillance in that yard.

Manager of the clubhouse: "There is a staff dormitory over there, so there is no surveillance system installed."

He Wenyu didn't come out once he went in, but Liu Hui went in and out a few times.

Finally, in the wee hours of the morning, Liu Hui walked through the door again, this time pushing a large box out.

He pushed the box to the parking spot, loaded it into the car, and drove away from the clubhouse.

The car that Liu Hui drove away was the bus of the first club, and now the car is parked downstairs at Liu Hui's house, but Liu Hui is not at home, and his mobile phone is turned off.

The police speculated that Liu Hui might have become lustful towards He Wenyu, and some incidents might have happened in the middle. In the end, he killed He Wenyu, put the body in a suitcase, and transported it out of the clubhouse.

At noon that day, Xu Zan and Lan Tianran's usual two-person lunch turned into a three-person dinner because of Zhao Hong's joining——Xu Zan asked Zhao Hong to talk about things.

Xu Zan and Lan Tianran arrived later, when they entered the box, they saw Zhao Hong watching TV.

Yazhou TV station, noon news, the screen was full of people, as if they were protesting something.

Zhao Hong: "They surrounded the Yazhou government and demanded that the government release Liu Jin."

"They" refer to the investors of Juxin. When Juxin collapsed, their money in Juxin was gone. They were unwilling to accept this cruel reality. They felt that as long as Liu Jin came back, their money would also come back.

Lan Tianran didn't understand their behavior: "They don't know that Juxin's money has been spent, so it's useless even if Liu Jin is released?"

Xu Zan: "They know that they made such a big fuss out of luck—they think the government might compensate them for their losses."

Lan Tianran nodded: "Oh."

Zhao Hong: "Many people invested in Juxin with borrowed money. Now that Juxin has collapsed, they have incurred hundreds of thousands or even millions of debts overnight. They'll all be caught."

Xu Zan shook his head: "They are too greedy."

Brother Miao was also one of them. He invested more than 300 million yuan, half of which was borrowed money, and the other half was his own savings and mortgage loan.

He asked Xu Zan what to do.

What can Xu Zan do, let him wait for the police to close the case and give them a refund.

A full refund is definitely not possible. How much can be refunded depends on how much money the police can recover, and it will be returned to investors in proportion.

This process will be very long, estimated to take two years.

Xu Zan turned his thoughts away from Brother Miao and asked, "How is Liu Jin doing now?"

Zhao Hong: "Cooperating with the investigation."

"Where's Sun Zhe?"

"He was very uncooperative and took all the blame on himself."

Xu Zan was a little dumbfounded: "He surprised me. I didn't expect him to have a bit of integrity. Did you tell him about He Wenyu's disappearance?"

"I told you, he doesn't believe it." Zhao Hong said, "I'm afraid he won't believe it until He Wenyu's body is found."

It has been a week since He Wenyu was found missing, but the police have not yet found her, nor have they found Liu Hui's whereabouts.

Lan Tianran: "Did Xie Kaiyan not find it?"

"..." Xu Zan muttered, "Why isn't the food served yet? I'll rush the kitchen."

"Yes." Zhao Hong ignored Xu Zan and said to Lan Tianran, "However, Xie Kaiyan's situation is different from He Wenyu's. He Wenyu disappeared and there has been no news, so it is probably more ominous. Xie Kaiyan seems to disappear voluntarily. After he disappeared, he kept in touch with his classmates and friends for a while."

After Xu Zan urged, the food came out quickly.

Zhao Hong looked at the dishes, some of the dishes were not what he and Xu Zan used to eat, they should be ordered by Xu Zan according to Lan Tianran's taste.

Xu Zan picked up the remote control, tuned to Mingcheng TV, and found a channel that was also broadcasting news.

"Li Shen." Zhao Hong looked at the screen and said.

Lan Tianran looked at the TV, there was a group of people standing in a workshop, and the most striking man among them should be Li Shen.

Zhao Hong: "Recently he has been in the limelight, and all kinds of work are in full swing."

Xu Zan: "It feels like Yue Zhi is supporting him intentionally."

He suspected that Yue Zhi might be able to deal with Li Shen without Sun Zhe now, so he didn't work hard on Sun Zhe's side.

Lan Tianran: "Hold him, then what?"

"Similar to praising someone, praising a person too high will make others disgusted." Xu Zan said, "When a person's ability does not match his reputation, everyone will see it, and the dislike of him will make others feel disgusted." It will pile up, and one day it will explode."

If there is no foil for Yue Zhi, Li Shen's high-profile is nothing at all. Anyway, everyone has to sell the Li family's face, but Yue Zhi is not bad in all aspects. Everyone's eyes will inevitably wander between the two of them. There will be highs and lows in the bar scale.

Li Shen was also forced to do so. Since he spoke about the matter of the Public Security Bureau, the situation has become delicate.

Some people below figured out what he meant, thinking that he probably wanted to burn some fires, so various jobs were started in his name.

He can't say anything yet, because he started it, but he's not too worried about the current situation - the water temperature is not too hot, which makes him think everything is still under control.

After the meal, Xu Zan called Tian Tian: "Sister Tian, ​​there is no news from Miss He?"

Tian Tian gave a weak "hmm".

Xu Zan: "Why did you think something might happen to her before calling the police?"

Tian Tian is still the old saying: "It's just a feeling, the sixth sense."

Xu Zan: "The feeling is actually based on reality. It may be her words and actions that aroused your vigilance."

Tian Tian said nothing.

Xu Zan said patiently: "When people are uneasy, they will do something to make them feel at ease. For example, some girls will write down the license plate and send it to their friends when they take a taxi. He Wenyu might have done something too, but you didn't Realize, think about it again..."

"Express delivery!" Tian Tian was taken aback, "She asked me to receive a delivery for her."

"Express delivery? In your hand?"

"Yes. I called her because I wanted to tell her that her package had arrived, and then I found out that her phone was turned off."

"Did you open that express delivery?"

"No."

"Go and take it apart."

"……Oh."

After that, Tian Tian didn't call to tell Xu Zan the result.

Xu Zan then said to Lan Tianran: "It seems like it's just an ordinary courier."

Lan Tianran nodded.

Xu Zan leaned into his ear and whispered, "Will you comfort me?"

As he spoke, he kissed Lan Tianran's ear, Lan Tianran turned to him, and he kissed Lan Tianran's lips again.

The driver, Lao Lu, thought to himself, I don't know how the previous driver handled this situation, probably there is no other way but to pretend to be blind.

In the afternoon, Xu Zan received a call from Lao Tian, ​​saying that he needed to have a face-to-face meeting with him.

Xu Zan drove to the martial arts hall by himself.

His car is still the same one as before, and he takes Lan Tianran's car every day, and now he is a little unaccustomed to his own car, so he tapped the steering wheel and bought another one.

When he arrived at the martial arts hall, he saw Lao Tian and Tian Tian smoking outside.

Tian Tian smiled at him when she saw him, then turned and walked towards the martial arts hall.

Lao Tian watched her walk into the martial arts gym, and then said to Xu Zan: "Let's go a little further and talk, we're dating today."

If Xiang Xiang saw them talking together, he would definitely come over to listen in, and it would be difficult to drive him away, but it would take a lot of time to change the subject.

Xu Zan looked around: "Go to the roof."

He asked again, "Who did Xiang Xiang come with?"

"He's alone."

"Is the elder here?"

"Yes, I forgot to count him."

The two chatted all the way until they reached the top of the building before they started talking about business.

Lao Tian took a deep puff of his cigarette, turned on the phone and handed it to Xu Zan, saying, "It's in the courier that girl sent to Tian Tian."

It was a video, He Wenyu and Li Mingen's.

Xu Zan glanced at it for a while and then stopped looking at it. He turned to check the phone itself.

Lao Tian: "The mobile phone is my own. What the girl sent was a set of underwear and some electronic equipment. The underwear was worn and torn. The electronic equipment was a pinhole camera, bugs and memory cards."

Xu Zan nodded.

Lao Tian: "The man in the video has a big mole on his back."

Xu Zan looked at him.

Lao Tian: "At that time, Tian Tian... also told me that she vaguely remembered that one of them had such a mole on his back."

Xu Zan was stunned.

Lao Tian: "Who is this person?"

Xu Zan: "Li Mingen."

"Isn't your surname Wang?"

"It's not Wang. But when the Wang family was still in the country, they had a very good relationship with him."

The two were silent.

At this time of year, the wind is very strong on the top of the building, and the cold wind blows. Although there is sunshine, it is as bleak as a shadow, unable to add a little warmth to the air.

The two were quickly frozen through.

Lao Tian threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, moved his stiff fingers, and said, "Then, call the police?"

Xu Zan nodded: "Well, call the police."

After the two came down from the roof, Lao Tian and Tian Tian drove away quickly, Xu Zan didn't leave immediately, he went around the martial arts hall.

Xiang Xiang is sweating hard on the Wutai, which looks quite plausible.

But Xu Zan still said to Dachang: "I think it's more suitable for him to learn to dance."

The elder looked at him, but didn't answer.

Xu Zan: "Just kidding, he is very smart, has a high level of comprehension, and can learn things quickly. As long as he is willing to practice hard, he will definitely become a master of the generation."

This time I laughed a lot.

How could Xiang Xiang practice hard? There will be no accidents in his life, and he probably won't have to suffer a little.

Xu Zan: "What happened to him?"

The elder hesitated for a moment, then said succinctly, "Lawyer Zhao."

"Oh." Xu Zan looked at the time, it was still early, he could stay here for a while, he waved at Xiang Xiang, "Xiang Xiang!"

Xiang Xiang slowed down for a while, and then the rhythm was out of order. He complained: "Brother, don't make trouble."

Xu Zan said with a smile: "I am testing your on-the-spot resilience."

"Oh, I'll test you next time too." Xiang Xiang walked up to Xu Zan and looked around, "Where's Lao Tian and Sister Tian?"

"They left beforehand." Xu Zan said, "I'll leave later, just to say hello to you."

Xiang Xiang wiped his sweat with a towel: "Aren't you going to end?"

"No." Xu Zan shook his head and asked again, "Why didn't you come for lunch with Lao Zhao?"

"You didn't call me!"

"Oh, as long as I don't call you in the future, you won't show up, right? Then I can rest assured."

"..." Xiang Xiang sighed, "It's because Lao Zhao is angry with me."
