Although he has many doubts about Zhou Min, the most important thing for Gu Chen at the moment is to find a way to understand the actual situation behind Liu Yi.
Since Zhou Min and Liu Yi are boyfriend and girlfriend, Gu Chen decided to bring Zhou Min back for investigation.
So Gu Chen asked Zhao Lei again, "Then do you know how to contact Zhou Min?"
"I don't know, I don't have her phone number." Zhao Lei said.
"Then, did someone named Xu Tiankai come to your Dynasty bar to find Zhou Min yesterday?" Since Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen invited Xu Tiankai to have dinner together last night.
During the period, I also briefly told Xu Tiankai about Zhou Min's situation.
Therefore, Xu Tiankai left in a hurry last night, so he must go to Dynasty Bar to find Zhou Min.
Zhao Lei didn't know about Zhou Min's situation, but as a staff member of the Dynasty Bar, he should have a certain understanding of Xu Tiankai's approach to Zhou Min.
Also being asked suddenly, Zhao Lei could only scratch his head and think.
After a while, he recalled and said, "Someone has looked for Zhou Min? This, I seem to have a little impression."
"Then tell me quickly." Seeing that Zhao Lei seemed to have some eyebrows, Police Officer Wang hurriedly urged him.
Zhao Lei squinted his eyes and thought, and said thoughtfully:
"I remember that last night, when Liu Yi sang on stage, Zhou Min was indeed sitting under the bar, and she was sitting there alone."
"Later, when I went to deliver drinks to a table of customers, I ran into a man who was talking to Zhou Min."
"The two seemed to have some conflicts. Afterwards, both of them seemed to go out through the back door, and I never saw them again."
"Is it this person?" Listening to Zhao Lei's words, Yuan Shasha took out her mobile phone, clicked on the photo album, and showed Xu Tiankai's ID photo in front of him.
The man frowned and observed carefully.
After a while, he said slowly: "It seems to be this person, I just remember that the two seem to be arguing about something? It seems that there is some contradiction."
"After Zhou Min left, did Liu Yi look for her?" Gu Chen said.
Zhao Lei shook his head: "No, Liu Yi has to work late, maybe he thinks that Zhou Min has gone home early? So he doesn't care too much."
"However, I remember another man came to look for Liu Yi during the period, but this man didn't order a drink, but just sat there blankly."
"During the period, Liu Yi also took a short break. The two chatted on the deck for a long time. Later, Liu Yi came on stage again, but that person still stayed below."
"That's it. I remember that every time Liu Yi stepped down, he was chatting with him. Then around midnight, this person left by himself. What happened after that? I don't know."
"Another man?" Thinking of the sudden appearance of the man, who seemed to be a major suspect, Gu Chen hurriedly reminded:
"Can you show me the monitor?"
"Of course, you guys... come with me." I felt that the police came to find Liu Yi this time, and it seemed that the problem was a little serious.
But in line with the principle of not being busy, Zhao Lei didn't ask too much, and directly brought Gu Chen and the others to the monitoring room, and began to call the monitoring for everyone.
From the monitoring, Gu Chen was able to accurately find Zhou Min's location, followed by Xu Tiankai. After he entered the bar, he started looking for people everywhere.
They also found Zhou Min at the booth of the bar, and then they communicated together.
Looking at the picture in the video, the two seem to be somewhat contradictory and have quarreled with each other.
After that, Xu Tiankai pulled Zhou Min and left to the other side of the bar.
After that, another strong man of medium height came to the bar and sat down at a random place.
And Liu Yi also walked off the stage on the phone during the interval of singing, as if he noticed that Zhou Min had left and was maintaining phone communication with Zhou Min.
However, while Liu Yi was on the phone, Liu Yi found the man in the booth who was greeting him, so he hung up the phone and came to the man.
The two soon sat down and chatted together.
From the video, Gu Chen can tell that the two seem to be old acquaintances, and they are quite familiar with each other.
During the period, what did the strong man keep talking to Liu Yi? The attitude seems a little humble.
On the other hand, Liu Yi on the deck, with his legs crossed, seemed to firmly occupy the dominant position during the chat.
After the two chatted for a while, Liu Yi was called back onto the stage by the staff.
And as the video footage continued to speed up, Gu Chen and the others also discovered that Liu Yi, like Zhao Lei, stepped down several times before and after, discussing with this strong man what?
In the end, the man seemed a little disappointed and could only leave the bar in despair.
And what happened afterwards was just as Zhao Lei said, after Liu Yi got off work, he came to the outdoor seat outside the bar and chatted with a few men about their daily life.
Afterwards, he rode on his own black motorcycle and drove away from Dynasty Bar.
Gu Chen took a picture of the strong man and asked Zhao Lei, "Have you seen this man before?"
"Before? It seems... I met it once." Zhao Lei said.
"Then you always know what he does?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.
Zhao Lei shook his head like a rattle, and replied: "Comrade policeman, I really don't know about this, and he doesn't spend money in our bar."
"If you want to say that he spends in our bar, then I must know him. We usually don't spend too much energy getting to know people who are not our target customers."
"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Lei couldn't ask too many questions, Gu Chen could only stop there:
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"You're welcome." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhao Lei also gave a wry smile, and then said:
"Oh, by the way, what's the matter with you looking for Liu Yi?"
"This...it's inconvenient to say." Officer Wang also immediately refused.
Seeing that he couldn't find out why, Zhao Lei could only smile perfunctorily: "That's okay, if you need our help, you can call our front desk."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Lei took out a business card and handed it to Gu Chen.
Several people parted ways in mutual greetings.
Gu Chen sat back in the police car, and immediately sent the photo of the man he took at the Dynasty Bar to He Junchao, specifying the specific time, and asked He Junchao to help investigate the man's identity.
On the other side, after learning that Xu Tiankai went to find Zhou Min last night, Gu Chen also dialed Xu Tiankai's number.
Not long after, Xu Tiankai's phone was connected.
Gu Chen also hurriedly asked: "Xu Tiankai, where are you now?"
"In a small hotel, what's wrong with Gu Chen?" Xu Tiankai also looked puzzled.
"You went to see Zhou Min yesterday, right?" Gu Chen asked.
Xu Tiankai on the phone also echoed, "Yes, I went to Dynasty Bar to look for her, and I found her there."
After a pause, Xu Tiankai tried his best to adjust his breathing, and continued: "Thanks to you, Gu Chen, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for me to find Zhou Min."
"Then what's your situation?" Gu Chen also asked with concern because he discovered in the surveillance that the two had had some conflicts.
But Xu Tiankai's answer made Gu Chen a little dumbfounded:
"It's nothing? Gu Chen, you don't need to make a fuss. I asked Zhou Min last night. She said that she lost contact because she didn't want to hurt me."
"Because she is learning that I was embarrassed by these creditors because I paid her debts for her, so she doesn't want to involve me, and wants to stay alone for a while."
"And during this time, she has been working, trying to sell alcohol to make money to pay off her debts."
"But……"
"It's really nothing." Before Gu Chen could speak, Xu Tiankai immediately interrupted: "Gu Chen, you are worrying too much. We were together last night."
"The two of us have talked a lot, and we all understand each other, and there are no lies or scams. She said that those men are her friends, and she lives in a hotel, accompanied by her girlfriends, and there are photos of them in the hotel."
Listening to Xu Tiankai's various rhetoric, Gu Chen didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Although Gu Chen had already inquired clearly with the staff in the bar, Zhou Min was indeed Liu Yi's girlfriend as everyone thought.
But the two only communicated for one night, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
Although Gu Chen felt that Xu Tiankai seemed to be taken for granted, he didn't want to break Xu Tiankai's beautiful illusion.
So I can only remind him kindly: "Xu Tiankai, I advise you to keep your eyes open, oh yes, do you recognize the resident singer named Liu Yi at Dynasty Bar?"
"I don't know, I don't know anyone in Dynasty Bar." Xu Tiankai's reply was concise and to the point.
Gu Chen had no choice but to nod his head in agreement: "Okay, that's it."
The two communicated briefly, and Gu Chen hung up the phone.
Lu Weiwei, who was eavesdropping on the side, also said with a speechless expression: "This Xu Tiankai is too easy to deceive, isn't he? Zhou Min let the lake pass in a few words?"
"I don't think so." Police Officer Wang, sitting in the back row with his hands folded across his chest, also said with a smile:
"In my opinion, Xu Tiankai probably knows everything, and everything, especially what Zhou Min is like now."
"It's just because Xu Tiankai loves Zhou Min too much, so Xu Tiankai is unwilling to accept this reality, so he continues to maintain his ostrich mentality, pretending that all this is not true."
"Perhaps this is the best ending, right?"
After all, Police Officer Wang has been in the police force for many years, and he knows all kinds of monsters and monsters very well.
Especially in Xu Tiankai's current situation, it can be said that he has nothing and has been criticized by everyone.
Zhou Min, on the other hand, may be the only good medicine in his decadence.
Although it seemed that Zhou Min was plotting to harm him, Xu Tiankai seemed to be going forward with all his strength.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.
Seeing that it was He Junchao calling, Gu Chen immediately pressed the answer button and said, "Senior Brother He."
"Gu Chen, the person you sent me just now, I can basically determine the basic situation of this person based on monitoring and tracking."
He Junchao on the other end of the phone seemed to have found a clue.
Gu Chen hurriedly asked him, "Then what does this person do?"
"There are stalls selling barbecue in the night market." He Junchao said.
"Sell barbecue? Where is it?" Lu Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that it was selling food.
He Junchao on the phone also quickly replied: "It's not far from Dynasty Bar, isn't there a small square over there, that's the intersection."
"Anyway, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, there are many barbecue carts selling barbecue over there. This person is one of them, named Peng Yu."
"Peng Yu? Is it the "feather" of "feather"?" " Gu Chen also confirmed.
He Junchao echoed: "That's right, this person is currently living in the alley behind the intersection."
"Isn't there a village in the city over there? Right at the entrance, there are all car wash shops. Go into the alley and turn right to the house, which is where he is currently renting."
"And, it should be on the first floor, right? Because he has a small barbecue cart."
"Understood, then let's go over and see the situation now." Receiving He Junchao's prompt, Gu Chen immediately hung up the phone, started the car and drove towards the intersection quickly.
Gu Chen parked the car at the intersection of the alley, and there were indeed many simple car wash shops around as He Junchao said.
Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha along the alley to the end, then turned right, and found a house built by the villagers themselves.
On the first floor, there is a utility room similar to a storefront.
A small barbecue cart was parked at the door.
At this moment, Peng Yu was squatting there, repairing his small barbecue cart.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others approaching, Peng Yu looked up, also curious, and asked, "Comrade police, what's the matter?"
"Do you know Liu Yi?" Lu Weiwei asked straight to the point.
"I know you." Peng Yu threw away the cigarette in his mouth and confirmed, "We are friends, what's wrong?"
"Did you go to Dynasty Bar to look for him last night?" Gu Chen said.
Peng Yu nodded silently: "Your investigation is quite detailed, so... is there a problem?"
"Don't worry about this, let me ask you, what did you go to the Dynasty Bar to find Liu Yi last night?" Officer Wang didn't want to talk nonsense with Peng Yu, so he asked straight to the point.
Peng Yu smiled, patted the dust in his hands, stood up and said, "I asked Liu Yi to borrow money yesterday, what's the matter? Is there a problem?"
Seeing the four policemen looking at each other, they seemed to be hiding something on their minds, which made Peng Yu a little puzzled.
So Peng Yu asked Gu Chen again, "Speaking of police comrades, what happened?"
"Liu Yi died, strangled to death by the river." Since Peng Yu was also a close contact of Liu Yi before his death, Gu Chen needed to learn more about Liu Yi from Peng Yu.
Therefore, he could only explain the circumstances of Liu Yi's death to Peng Yu clearly.
Just when Gu Chen finished speaking, Peng Yu's expression instantly changed from the relaxed state just now to extremely tense, which is also unbelievable:
"Liu Yi is dead? No way? Last night we two had a good chat, he...how did he die? Could it be that you made a mistake? Impossible?"
He also didn't quite believe that this happened, Peng Yu kept scratching his hair, as if to ease his anxiety.
