Everyone who noticed the strangeness also turned their attention to Zhang Sikai.
After all, the accident half a year ago made Zhuang Qiang's daughter missing.
But now, the little girl Zhuang Xuanyi, who was thought to have died of drowning, has been silent for half a year and reappeared on the ground in Jiangnan City.
There must have been problems during this period, and the three tickets that Zhang Sikai gave Zhuang Qiang were also inextricably related.
"Gu Ju, I seem to have a little impression of the problem you mentioned. It is Zhuang Qiang's daughter who accidentally fell into the river while playing on the plywood of the cruise ship."
"Many people in the Chamber of Commerce know about this matter."
"So, that's why we came to find you this time." Lu Weiwei said.
Zhang Sikai was taken aback for a moment, and said in confusion, "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Don't forget, you gave this ticket to Zhuang Qiang." Officer Wang reminded.
Zhang Sikai was puzzled, and asked again: "But what does this mean? I also kindly sent three boat tickets to Zhuang Qiang."
"Originally, I planned to go by myself, but later I had something to do, so I made a favor and gave these three tickets to Zhuang Qiang."
"Even if you want to blame it, it can't be my fault, right?"
"Then what if Zhuang Qiang's daughter Zhuang Xuanyi is still alive?" Yuan Shasha said.
"You... what did you say?" I was also shocked by Yuan Shasha's words on the spot.
Zhang Sikai was dumbfounded, and asked weakly, "You mean, Zhuang Qiang's daughter, Zhuang Xuanyi, is still alive?"
Seeing everyone nodding in unison, Zhang Sikai replied with a smile, "Impossible, how is it possible?"
"Zhuang Xuanyi fell into the river and didn't even find her body. Why do you say she's still alive?"
Zhang Sikai didn't seem to believe it, or rather, refused to believe it.
So Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, showed the video of the little girl that Zhou Di had taken before, in front of Zhang Sikai, and clicked to play.
And Zhang Sikai has also shut up at this moment, watching the video playing in Gu Chen's hand seriously.
After it was over, Gu Chen took back his phone and asked Zhang Sikai, "How? Is this little girl Zhuang Qiang's daughter Zhuang Xuanyi?"
"Okay... I seem to have a little impression." Zhang Sikai seemed to have met the little girl before, so when Gu Chen asked such a question, he was able to answer quickly.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Sikai asked Gu Chen again: "But what's the situation with this Zhuang Xuanyi? Why did she appear in the video? When was this video shot?"
"Just a while ago." Lu Weiwei explained.
"Strange, how is it possible?" Zhang Sikai seemed to put on an innocent face.
But Gu Chen explained: "Zhang Sikai, we have analyzed the matter of these three boat tickets, and the process of Zhuang Qiang's daughter falling into the river that day."
"According to our deductive reasoning, the first person who yelled at the little girl to fall into the river was unidentified and probably released a smoke bomb."
"And the person who released the smoke bomb may have targeted Zhuang Qiang's daughter Zhuang Xuanyi from the very beginning."
"So, pretending to be on the boat, especially at night, caused chaos, so that everyone could not find Zhuang Xuanyi's whereabouts."
"But it is very possible that the little girl at that time was already secretly detained by this group somewhere on the cruise ship."
"Because according to Zhuang Qiang, his daughter Zhuang Xuanyi can't swim at all."
"If I fell into this turbulent river at night, I would definitely die."
"But now, the little girl miraculously appeared on the streets of Jiangnan City, which just verified our previous speculation, that is, the little girl didn't fall into the river at all, but was kidnapped on a cruise ship. "
"These kidnapping gangs used the method of creating chaos to convince everyone that Zhuang Qiang's daughter, Zhuang Xuanyi, had drowned at that time."
"However, they were able to secretly transfer the little girl Zhuang Xuanyi without anyone noticing."
Listening to Gu Chen's explanation and analysis here,
Zhang Sikai also nodded frequently, and said involuntarily:
"Gu Ju, listening to your words, I feel that you are right, but who is doing this? Zhuang Qiang's enemy?"
"Then I have to ask you." Before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei interjected:
"Isn't your bathing center known as the business district intelligence center? Is there anything else that your boss Zhang doesn't know about here?"
"Hey, Officer Lu, you are flattering me." It felt like Lu Weiwei was putting a high hat on herself.
Moreover, from Lu Weiwei's remarks, Zhang Sikai could guess that Zhuang Qiang seemed to have communicated with the police.
Moreover, Zhuang Qiang also informed the policemen of all the operations of his bathing center.
Therefore, Zhang Sikai felt that when communicating with these policemen, everyone could deal with it calmly.
On the contrary, it was me who felt suppressed everywhere.
Seeing Zhang Sikai being modest here, Police Officer Wang also smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, in fact, you and I both know that if Zhuang Qiang's daughter Zhuang Xuanyi was kidnapped on the cruise ship, it must have been carefully planned."
"It's impossible to do it on a temporary basis, and it is conceivable that this kind of kidnapping seems to have been actively prepared a long time ago."
"Then the three tickets you gave to Zhuang Qiang were precisely to help these kidnappers and provide conditions for kidnapping Zhuang Qiang's daughter."
"Hey, you can't talk nonsense, can you?" It felt like the gang of policemen were going around, seeming to have put their suspicions on themselves.
Zhang Sikai was in a panic now, because no matter what he said, the three tickets were all given to Zhuang Qiang by himself.
And that was the final piece of the puzzle for the kidnapping.
So anyway? His own suspicion is undoubtedly the biggest.
"Boss Zhang, I think you are also a smart person. Did you participate in the kidnapping?" Gu Chen asked Zhang Sikai again with his eyes burning.
Zhang Sikai was a little flustered now, but he was still stubborn, and said bitterly, "Hey, comrade policeman, you really misunderstood me. I really didn't participate in this matter, really."
"As for the so-called kidnapping incident you mentioned, after all, it is your speculation, and there is no evidence."
"As for me, Zhang Sikai, I usually like to make friends in various business fields. Today I will give you a few boat tickets, and tomorrow I will give you a few VIP experience cards. This is perfectly normal."
"But you, Gu Ju, want to say that I participated in the kidnapping. This... I don't agree to that."
It seemed that Gu Chen had pushed her into a hurry, and Zhang Sikai's answering attitude seemed to have begun to undergo a subtle change.
Lu Weiwei said: "Boss Zhang, I know that many of the people who come to your shop are members of your chamber of commerce."
"And among the members of these chambers of commerce, there are more or less conflicts with each other, which we have to admit."
"Even Zhuang Qiang himself told us that he has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he has indeed offended many people."
"But business is business. Kidnapping someone's daughter is a bit unreasonable."
"Yes, yes, what Police Officer Lu said is true." Faced with Lu Weiwei's reminder, Zhang Sikai seemed a little anxious.
But after a brief silence, Zhang Sikai said again: "Why don't you? After all, this incident has been in the past for a long time, and I'm somewhat impressed."
"Originally, this ticket was given to me by someone else. I just gave it to brother Zhuang Qiang as a favor."
"But, I really didn't expect that brother Zhuang Qiang would suffer such a disaster? I must be responsible for this."
After a pause, Zhang Sikai patted his chest and assured everyone: "Why not? I will use all the connections of the chamber of commerce to help you find out who is doing this?"
"After all, I run a bathing center, in fact, to provide business partners with a place where they can relax and communicate."
"I have no grudge against Zhuang Qiang, so I don't want to kidnap his daughter, but this matter involves me, so I will do my best to help you find the whereabouts of this little girl. Look, how about it?"
Seeing that Zhang Sikai had already said this, Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said with satisfaction: "That's fine, you should do this matter as soon as possible."
"Also, once you have the latest news, you can call us directly."
After finishing the sentence, Gu Chen directly handed over the business card of the criminal investigation team's office landline to Zhang Sikai.
Zhang Sikai looked embarrassed at the moment, but still forced a smile and said: "Don't worry, dare to bully my friend, I will definitely not let him go, leave this matter to me, and I promise to handle it properly for you."
Several people were also in the VIP room and initially reached a consensus.
Gu Chen and the others were sent off by Zhang Sikai, got into the police car, and left the bathing center.
On the way, Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also asked curiously, "Junior Brother Gu, do you think this Zhang Sikai is reliable?"
"Based on preliminary contact, this old lady is very cunning, and seems to have a good hand in everything." Gu Chen, who was driving, said.
Officer Wang also nodded in agreement: "That's right, this Zhang Sikai looks like an old fritter."
"He has so many relationships in the chamber of commerce. It can be said that clients, large and small, in the chamber of commerce seek him for business, which is just a matter of course."
"What Zhang Sikai has to do is to recommend suitable partners to these merchants."
After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "However, the insidiousness of those three tickets has already exceeded Zhang Sikai's ability."
"If he was really involved, then he is undoubtedly an accomplice."
Glancing at Gu Chen who was driving in front of him, Police Officer Wang said again: "Hey, Gu Chen, you confessed to him so that you want to force him to make mistakes, right?"
It seemed that Police Officer Wang had guessed his thoughts, and Gu Chen, who was driving, nodded and said:
"That's right, Zhang Sikai's current identity is a bit complicated."
"I said that Zhang Sikai can have no hatred against Zhuang Qiang, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Sikai's friends have no hatred with Zhuang Qiang."
"I told him the truth so blatantly, just to let him mess himself up."
"So." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha quickly answered, "So, Senior Brother Gu has already asked Senior Brother He to get ready, right?"
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and then said again: "These days, Zhang Sikai must be like an ant on a hot pot. If we put enough pressure on him, the easier it is for him to reveal the secret."
"In the past few days, let Senior Brother He keep an eye on Zhang Sikai, and see who Zhang Sikai has come into contact with? Who is he dealing with? He always shows his feet."
"Understood." Seeing that Gu Chen said so clearly, everyone nodded.
Returning to the Furong branch, everyone began to gather around He Junchao.
And He Junchao lived up to expectations, explaining to everyone: "Guess what I found in the surveillance?"
"What? Don't be secretive?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly urged, a little impatiently.
He Junchao smiled, clicked on one of the surveillance screenshots, and explained to everyone: "Look who this person is?"
"The deceased Liu Yi?" When he saw that the person on the surveillance screen was the singer Liu Yi who had been strangled to death by the river, Gu Chen was shocked and asked He Junchao:
"So this Lewis?"
"In the days before his death, Liu Yi once appeared in Zhang Sikai's bathing center."
"Moreover, according to my surveillance screenshots at the entrance of the bathing center, Liu Yi has had close contact with Zhang Sikai many times."
"I think, maybe Zhang Sikai knew something about Liu Yi's death, or maybe Zhang Sikai had something to do with Liu Yi's death?"
"This is a big clue." Hearing He Junchao's introduction, Police Officer Wang's eyes lit up.
You know, everyone has been investigating the cause of Liu Yi's death before, but there has been no tension for a long time.
Especially Xu Tiankai and Zhou Hui, who were closely related to Liu Yi's death, seemed to be mysteriously disappearing.
This brought the investigation of the case to a standstill.
But now it seems that during the period before Liu Yi's death, he frequently contacted and discussed with Zhang Sikai must be very important.
Where is Zhang Sikai's bathing center? That is the information center of the business district.
The deceased Liu Yi frequently appeared here, and there was only one possibility, and that was to exchange information with Zhang Sikai.
"Senior Brother He." Gu Chen patted He Junchao on the shoulder, reminding him, "Who has Zhang Sikai been in contact with in the past month? Find them all for me."
"No problem." After He Junchao found evidence of Liu Yi's contact with Zhang Sikai, he suddenly became enlightened.
Obviously, the seemingly peaceful bathing center does not seem to be simple.
In Zhang Sikai's view, these so-called three teachings and nine streams played an important role.
Therefore, Gu Chen felt that a huge criminal network might be involved behind Zhang Sikai.
Gu Chen would like to compete with this Zhang Sikai if he could pull up the radish and take the root.
"Junior Brother Gu, look at it." Lu Weiwei pointed to one of the pictures, and also reminded, "This Zhang Sikai is hooking shoulders with Liu Yi, and the two seem to be very familiar."
"It may be that Liu Yi knew some secrets about Zhang Sikai's internal affairs, and then was murdered by Zhang Sikai's internal personnel. Brother Gu, do you think this is possible?" Yuan Shasha also expressed her own opinions one by one.
Gu Chen just nodded slightly, and confirmed, "As far as the current situation is concerned, it's not wrong to focus on Zhang Sikai. No matter how cunning the old fox is, he will show his tail one day."
