"Where is it?" Lu Weiwei thought Gu Chen was joking.
Fortune teller to buy lottery tickets? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel right, so I immediately followed Gu Chen's gaze and looked at a store by the roadside.
After taking a look, Lu Weiwei was shocked again.
Sitting on the red plastic stool outside the lottery shop, the uncle scratching the lottery ticket is really the fortune teller you met at the intersection of Sanyuan Lane just now.
Lu Weiwei immediately frowned and said, "Isn't this the magic stick that earned Lu Yuan 50 yuan with his blood? What? Did you use Lu Yuan's 50 yuan to buy lottery tickets here? This magic stick is really good enough. "
After the words fell, Lu Weiwei unbuckled her seat belt, and was about to get out of the car to find him making an argument, but Gu Chen pulled her back and said, "Senior Sister Lu, what are you going to do?"
"Talk to him and return the 50 yuan to Lu Yuan." Lu Weiwei said.
"Forget it, the green light will come soon, anyway, he will go to Sanyuan Lane, so there is no rush to find him."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the street light signal just turned green.
So Gu Chen buckled Lu Weiwei's seat belt again, stepped on the gas pedal, and rushed across the road.
However, at this moment, Lu Weiwei was still chanting, and couldn't help gesticulating with both hands and said: "This magic stick is really annoying. If you talk about it, you can earn him 50 yuan in blood. How many potato chips can you buy with 50 yuan?" do you know?"
"If it doesn't work, it's not bad to spend 50 yuan to buy some better cat food, but I don't think it's worth it to give 50 yuan to this nonsense stick."
"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer." Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head.
"Forget it." Lu Weiwei sighed, but said unwillingly: "Anyway, I will go to Sanyuan Lane to find his theory, can't I cheat money like this?"
"If he can really figure out why, then he will definitely win the lottery. I don't believe he can win."
"If he can calculate the lottery jackpot, what kind of life is he? Count the lottery every day?"
Along the way, Lu Weiwei was nagging.
Along the way, Gu Chen kept silent.
In this way, the two drove to the parking lot of the compound of the Furong branch. Lu Weiwei stopped nagging, got off the car with Gu Chen, and walked towards the office of the criminal investigation team.
As soon as they entered the gate, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei went straight to He Junchao.
"Senior Brother He, how is the investigation going?" Gu Chen asked.
"Huh!" He Junchao took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "I'll really find you such a person for the things you asked me to investigate."
"There is such a person?" Lu Weiwei said immediately after hearing that, "Then quickly show the person's appearance."
"Don't worry." He Junchao nimbly clicked a few times on the mouse, and immediately retrieved the surveillance screenshot of a mysterious man.
"Who is this person? Why can't you see his face clearly?" Lu Weiwei was a little puzzled.
But He Junchao was not surprised and said: "It's strange to be able to see the face clearly? He is not stupid, how could he let you see the face clearly? I can only see the general appearance, with such a figure."
After the voice fell, He Junchao immediately clicked to enlarge the surveillance screenshot.
Lu Weiwei immediately moved her face closer, and said with wide eyes, "I still can't see clearly."
"Senior Brother He, this surveillance was found outside Sanyuan Lane, right?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked.
He Junchao nodded silently: "That's right, I found this man when I checked the perimeter. It seems that he evaded all monitoring."
"Although there are many surveillance cameras on the periphery of Sanyuan Lane, no matter what angle you look at, you can't capture his face."
"What about the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city?" Gu Chen asked again.
"There are also traces of him." He Junchao immediately operated the mouse, and after a few more clicks, released another screenshot and said:
"This is the picture of him appearing in the family area of the Xicheng Chemical Plant. I watched it. It was very early, around 7 o'clock in the evening."
"At this time, Wan Xiaomin is chatting with Hu Ming at the restaurant where you dined."
"Then what time did this mysterious person come out from Sanyuan Lane?" Gu Chen asked.
He Junchao thought for a while, then hurriedly said, "At night... around 6:50?"
"6:50 p.m.?"
Hearing He Junchao's speech, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei spoke in unison, and they both froze for a moment.
"Junior Brother Gu, the time is just right. It is the time when Wan Xiaomin returned to the store from outside. It can be seen that Wan Xiaomin has indeed seen this mysterious person."
Lu Weiwei was now also shocked by this coincidence.
It can be seen that the investigation idea that Gu Chen came up with in the small road southeast of Sanyuan Lane is still very useful.
If you can't find any doubts about Wan Xiaomin, then find the mysterious person who met Wan Xiaomin.
But now I really let everyone find it.
Gu Chen crossed his arms, walked back and forth twice, and then said, "Senior Brother He, did this mysterious person come out after entering the family area of the Chengxi Chemical Factory at around 7 o'clock last night?"
"No." He Junchao shook his head, but also flatly denied:
"It's strange to say that I confirmed the monitoring time when this mysterious person entered the family area of the Chengxi Chemical Plant, but I have been investigating until now, and there is no sign of him coming out."
"That's right." As soon as He Junchao finished speaking, Lu Weiwei snapped her fingers and said:
"This mysterious person came to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory earlier than Wan Xiaomin, and he was going to meet Wan Xiaomin here."
"But Wan Xiaomin just happened to meet his first love, Hu Ming, but this may not have been expected by Wan Xiaomin."
"So, after Wan Xiaomin hastily finished dinner with Hu Ming, he proposed to go to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory. In fact, he asked Hu Ming to cover up and run to meet the mysterious man."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei said again: "That's why, after Wan Xiaomin and Hu Ming visited the Chengxi Chemical Factory, they urged Hu Ming to leave first, and his attitude was still very firm."
"Because Hu Ming at the time was also embarrassed by the current relationship between the two, Hu Ming agreed to leave Wan Xiaomin here, and then took a taxi back to Wangjiang Hotel by himself." Gu Chen continued to add.
Lu Weiwei also snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, that's it. This mysterious person must have something to do with Wan Xiaomin's disappearance."
"And according to the testimony of the old lady who witnessed it at the time, she saw with her own eyes that Wan Xiaomin turned back after Hu Ming took a taxi and left. Obviously, she was going to meet the mysterious man."
"However, Wan Xiaomin has disappeared since then, and has never left the family area of Chengxi Chemical Plant."
"As for the mysterious man, he also did not leave the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city, which is very illustrative."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei said again: "Although the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory is very large, it's not like they can't find people, and Lao Wang and Xiao Yuan even asked people to search it. I don't know they are searching now. How is it?"
"I'll call and ask." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and dialed Officer Wang's number directly.
"Senior Brother Wang, how is the progress on your side?" Gu Chen cut to the chase and directly asked about the specific progress.
Police Officer Wang said "Ouch", and complained again and again:
"Damn it, I took Xiao Yuan, and the people called by Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong did a blanket search. I asked most of the residents here, but no one had seen Wan Xiaomin."
"I feel like this Wan Xiaomin is like hiding from the ground. If you say you don't see her, she will disappear. She came out."
"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing Officer Wang complaining, Gu Chen said again: "We have found out that last night, after Wan Xiaomin returned to the hamster house in Sanyuan Lane, there was a mysterious man who also left from Sanyuan Lane .”
"This mysterious man is wearing a black coat, a peaked cap and a mask. It is difficult to distinguish the specific appearance."
"Moreover, after leaving Sanyuan Lane, this mysterious man entered the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory where you are now at around 7:00 pm, and he has never come out again."
"What?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang suddenly said in a daze: "Last night, after Wan Xiaomin returned to the hamster house, this mysterious man also happened to leave Sanyuan Lane."
"And it's still one step faster than Wan Xiaomin, and came to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory? After that, Wan Xiaomin came here, first sent Hu Ming away, and then walked back by himself. Isn't this just to meet that mysterious man?"
"That's right." Seeing that Police Officer Wang quickly cleared his mind, Gu Chen also echoed, "So, we now suspect that this mysterious person and Wan Xiaomin are still staying in the family area of the chemical plant in the west of the city. definitely."
"So, you must pay more attention and search every corner of the family area."
"Moreover, there are many abandoned buildings and ruined buildings here, and this is also the focus of the investigation. Maybe Wan Xiaomin and that mysterious person are staying in the ruins area now."
"En." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang also nodded silently, expressing his approval:
"What you said is also reasonable. We patronized the inspection of the residence of the family area, but did not go to the ruins to inspect it. This is indeed an omission."
After thinking for a while, Police Officer Wang said again: "Then I will take everyone to search for the ruins and the areas that are being demolished, and see if we can find anything."
"Senior Brother Wang." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen reminded again: "Is Hu Ming by your side?"
"Yes, he has been with us all the time, actively searching for traces of Wan Xiaomin." Officer Wang said.
"Okay, let him come over to answer the phone." Gu Chen hurriedly urged.
"Wait."
Officer Wang paused for a few seconds, and Gu Chen heard Officer Wang's yelling from the phone.
Not long after, a male voice came from far and near: "Officer Gu, I'm Hu Ming."
"Hu Ming, let me ask you, since you have lived in the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city for so many years, do you know if you don't go out through the main passage of the family area, is there any secret passage to the outside? without being discovered?"
Gu Chen's questioning made Hu Ming feel a little confused, and he didn't react for a long time.
But after a brief silence for a few seconds, Hu Ming suddenly opened up and said:
"I know a place that used to be an abandoned workshop of a chemical plant. When we played there when we were young, we would often climb over a wall and enter the interior of the abandoned workshop of the chemical plant."
"It has always been the secret base of our little friends, and there are many holes there, which can lead to the outside of the family area of the chemical plant."
"Do you remember the exact location?" Gu Chen was overjoyed at what Hu Ming said, and hurriedly asked again.
"I know, but..."
Hu Ming first agreed, but soon hesitated.
Gu Chen hurriedly said, "But what?"
"However, after all, I haven't come back for many years. Now this place has been demolished into ruins. I really don't know the direction. I don't know if I can find the original place."
"Then you should think about it carefully, and then take our police officers over there to look for it." Gu Chen urged.
"Okay." Although it felt a little difficult, Hu Ming didn't seem to give up.
"Give the phone to my colleague." Gu Chen said again.
Then, within a few seconds, Officer Wang's response came from the phone: "Gu Chen."
"Senior Brother Wang, I now suspect that Wan Xiaomin and that mysterious person may no longer be in the family area of the Chengxi Chemical Plant, but have left through a secret passage."
"You ask Hu Ming to recall carefully, find the secret passages leading to the outside world, and then conduct a careful investigation in this area. You must be serious and find some clues about Wan Xiaomin."
"I understand." When Gu Chen said this, Police Officer Wang immediately understood what he meant, and immediately agreed:
"I'll take people with me and let Hu Ming be the guide, and find out the secret passage for me."
"Brother Wang has worked hard."
Gu Chen also echoed.
Afterwards, the two exchanged a few simple greetings, and both hung up the phone.
Seeing Gu Chen put the phone back, Lu Weiwei hesitated and said, "This Wan Xiaomin is really nerve-wracking."
"If the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city really has the secret passage that Junior Brother Gu mentioned, then only Wan Xiaomin should know about it?"
"She Wan Xiaomin knows, but the mysterious person doesn't necessarily know. If the mysterious person knows, then Wan Xiaomin must have told him."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei still couldn't believe it: "I really don't understand, what does this Wan Xiaomin want to do?"
"Also, why did she have to stay in the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city with her stomach after seeing off Hu Ming at night?"
"She doesn't know, is it dangerous to stay here alone at night? And she still goes to see the mysterious person."
"Senior Sister Lu." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also reminded, "This mysterious person is indeed mysterious to you and me, but he can be an acquaintance of Wan Xiaomin."
"Since Wan Xiaomin dares to stay here alone, perhaps Wan Xiaomin has already made sufficient psychological preparations."
"You know, she doesn't need to come here at all, but even if she uses Hu Ming's cover, she still has to come here late at night. It can be seen that the purpose of her Wan Xiaomin coming here is obviously very important, so important that even the person standing in front of her now , is the first love I haven't seen for many years, and I want to send him away."
