It seems that Police Officer Wang is an outsider. Hearing what he said, the woman replied seriously: "Comrade police, this is equipment for the US Navy SEALs. Do you think it is expensive?"
"It seems quite expensive?" Officer Wang said uncertainly.
After all, you know it's expensive, but you don't know how much this thing sells in China?
The woman also said without thinking: "Although this thing is considered a high-end product abroad, it can be traded for anything over there."
"Some are discarded, circulated to the second-hand market, and then recycled by some big cows, and reused. After renovation, they are also very good to use."
"But this kind of thing, after all, is a high-end product, imported to China, do you think it is expensive?"
It seemed that the words hit Officer Wang's vital point, and Officer Wang also smiled and said: "That is to say, can you really exchange a set of four-eye night vision devices for a luxury car?"
"Of course." The woman didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "This item is not easy to sell! It's too expensive. If you can produce one or two items a month, it's not bad."
"In comparison, those camouflage uniforms and training shoes are quite popular. A product can ship thousands of pieces a month, and the profit of this product is also large."
"That is to say, there are very few customers who buy four-eye night vision devices from your store, right?" Gu Chen also asked based on the clues provided by the woman just now:
"How many sets have you sold recently?"
"Uh...recently? It seems... not many sets have been sold, right? Maybe only two or three sets." The woman thought back.
"Where are those customers selling to?" Lu Weiwei immediately asked again.
The woman smiled and said: "They were all bought by enthusiasts in Shanghai and the capital. After all, there are many rich people there, so they like to collect this kind of high-end products, and use them to pretend to be aggressive in the circle of friends and satisfy their vanity... "
"Then what about our Jiangnan City?" Before the woman could finish speaking, Gu Chen asked again.
"Jiangnan City? It seems... not."
"Are you sure?" Officer Wang asked again.
"Of course I'm sure that for this kind of high-end goods, it's not bad to be able to produce one or two pieces a month, and sometimes it's possible to not ship them in a month. There are hundreds of thousands of sets."
"Unless they are rich veteran military enthusiasts, who would buy them?"
"Is it possible for some product development companies to buy them? It's possible to copy them and halve the price." After all, Yuan Shasha knows the way to do business, and also knows the strength of many domestic development and manufacturing companies, so she also gave expressed his own opinion.
】
The woman was stunned, thinking about it for a few seconds, then nodded silently, and said in agreement: "It seems to be true? It may also be bought by some technology companies for research."
"However, this thing is quite complicated, and it takes a lot of effort to develop it. At present, in China, only our Xiongfeng Trading Company is doing this kind of import business, and there are very few peers who import this kind of thing."
Hearing what the woman said, Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "That is to say, the only way to buy this kind of four-eye night vision device in China is through your Xiongfeng trade channel, right?"
"Yes." The woman nodded, also very confident: "Our company is doing this, and it is also the first to start importing this kind of thing, selling it in online stores and physical stores, but the quantity is not very large."
"Most of them are bought and sold in second-hand refurbishment markets abroad. It is also difficult to buy through regular channels there, but no one cares about you through underground channels."
"Many local hunters over there like to buy this kind of four-eye night vision device for hunting at night."
"Understood." Gu Chen seemed to understand the tricks, but Gu Chen also had doubts.
If it is said that the only way to buy this kind of expensive high-tech equipment is through Xiongfeng Trade, and the buyers are all experienced and wealthy military fans and collectors from the capital and Shanghai, or some development companies.
So, will the assailant in the auspicious suit who appeared in Jiangnan City also be equipped with this kind of equipment?
In other words, the other party may not be through Xiongfeng Trading, but a customer of Xiongfeng Trading. If they buy from the other party for the second time, it will be difficult to track it.
But how many such equipment does the Xiongfeng Trading Company currently have? Gu Chen is also not clear.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also reminded the woman: "Does your company still have this kind of equipment?"
"Yes, there are some in the vault," the woman said.
"How many sets are there? Are all of them for sale?" Gu Chen asked again.
The woman hesitated for a few seconds, but said uncertainly: "I'm not very clear about this. I just remember that when I made the report before, it showed in the warehouse that there were three sets."
"After all, this item is expensive. If you can usually sell one, many people in our company will discuss it for a long time. After all, that item has high profits and high commission."
"Many people want to sell to get a commission, but there are only a few capable buyers, so they have been lying in the insurance warehouse."
"Then these three items are still in your company's insurance warehouse, right?" Officer Wang asked.
"Should be there? This is not under my control, but our department manager." The woman said.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked again: "Then what's your manager's name?"
"Yang Wenjing." The woman said.
"Will she come to work in the afternoon?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Yes." The woman glanced at the clock on the wall, and seeing that it was almost half past one in the afternoon, the woman hurriedly said again:
"It's almost here, we go to work at 1:30, and they usually come up by stepping on it."
"It is estimated that at this moment, it should be in the elevator."
"Very good." After recording these on the record, Gu Chen asked the woman again, "Then what's your name?"
"My name is Qu Xiao." The woman said.
Just as Qu Xiao finished speaking, there was a sudden movement at the door.
The three women crossed their shoulders and walked into the general office area talking and laughing.
Due to the loud voice, a few people can be heard talking and laughing from a long distance.
But when the three of them came to the comprehensive office area, they found Gu Chen and the others in police uniforms, and they froze in place again.
Seeing this, Qu Xiao quickly pointed to the fat middle-aged woman in the middle, and quickly said: "Comrade policeman, she is Yang Wenjing, the manager of our department, and she is in charge of all these things."
Listening to Qu Xiao talking about herself with the police here, the chubby Yang Wenjing panicked, but she didn't know what she had done? So he took the initiative to come over, shook hands with Gu Chen and asked:
"Hello, Comrade Police, Excuse me, are you looking for me?"
"Yes." Gu Chen shook hands with her, and also reported his family background: "We are from the Furong branch, and we are here to investigate your boss."
"Investigate our boss? Our boss has been out of contact for a whole day, no one can be found, and the phone can't be reached..."
"We know." Before Yang Wenjing could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei interrupted directly:
"Your boss may have been trapped in the Fairy Girl Peak, and his life and death are unknown. However, we discovered an attack on the Fairy Girl Peak yesterday."
"Due to the lack of some necessary clues, we came to your Xiongfeng Trading Company to find out about your boss."
"Oh, so that's the case?" Seeing Lu Weiwei explaining the reason, Yang Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, and said politely:
"Then...then you guys go to the office to chat with me?"
After finishing speaking, Yang Wenjing said to Qu Xiao, "Qu Xiao, quickly make some cups of tea for the guests."
"Oh." Qu Xiao agreed perfunctorily, and then began to walk towards the water dispenser.
Gu Chen and the others were taken by Yang Wenjing to a small office in the general office area.
The area here is small, and there is also a desk, a swivel chair and a sofa, a coffee table, and a filing cabinet.
When Gu Chen and the others sat down, Yang Wenjing sat back in her seat and began to chat with Gu Chen and the others:
"Comrade police, you just said that you are investigating our boss? Is our boss really trapped in Fairy Peak? Is he with that Chen Li?"
It seems that everyone in the company knows the relationship between Zou Xiong and Chen Li, and Yang Wenjing blurted out this too.
Gu Chen didn't deny it either, and directly echoed, "That's right, it's with Chen Li."
"But the current situation is very complicated, because it may be related to your company, because we found that, according to the victim's dictation, there was an attack on the mountain."
"The assailant was wearing a camouflage auspicious uniform at the time, which belongs to military fans, and the other victim had also bought a multifunctional saber in a store affiliated with your trading company before."
After a pause, Gu Chen calmed down, and then said again: "So, all the circumstances seem to be related to your company. We suspect that the attacker even carried a night vision device."
"And it just so happens that Qu Xiao from your company said that your company sells equipment like quadruped night vision goggles, right?"
"Uh, yes... yes." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, the chubby Yang Wenjing also confessed honestly, and said involuntarily:
"But that kind of thing is quite expensive, and it's rarely sold, and the warehouse usually doesn't buy a lot."
"How much stock is there in the warehouse?" Officer Wang asked directly.
"There are... three pieces, but the boss took one away." Yang Wenjing said.
But what he said shocked everyone present.
Lu Weiwei asked directly: "Your boss Zou Xiong took a set? Why did he take this?"
"I don't know, maybe it's for collection? If you don't collect it, do you wear it around at night?" Yang Wenjing said.
"It's not impossible." Yuan Shasha also directly refuted, adding:
"Judging from the current situation on the mountain, it is very likely that the attacker was wearing night vision equipment."
"But according to our current investigation, Jiangnan City only sells it at your home, so we need to know where the products are going. Do you understand?"
"Understood, of course I understand that this kind of thing is more sensitive. It was used for military use before, but the ones we sell are all civilian versions. They are not as high-end as military ones, but their performance is similar."
Yang Wenjing also explained to Gu Chen and the others based on what she knew.
Gu Chen directly asked again: "But, I really don't understand. Your boss keeps this. Hasn't he ever worn this thing before?"
"No... I don't know." Yang Wenjing scratched her cheeks and said thoughtfully:
"Maybe, our boss usually wears four-eye night vision goggles when there is no one around, and goes out to sneak around at night? Who knows?"
"Anyway, the boss took one away, and we still have two in our warehouse."
"It's been in the insurance warehouse all the time, hasn't anyone taken it out?" Police Officer Wang was a little worried, and asked another question.
But the answer I got was yes.
At this moment, Qu Xiao, who was late, brought a few cups of tea to everyone.
Gu Chen thanked him, took a small sip, and then said:
"Then your boss, do you usually have the habit of hunting in the mountains?"
"Uh...how should I say this?" Yang Wenjing seemed to be asking a sensitive topic, and Yang Wenjing didn't know how to answer for a while.
Lu Weiwei, who saw the tricks on the side, also bit her teeth and said, "That is to say, your boss has the habit of hunting?"
"Uh, isn't it? It was also by chance before, I sent a document to our boss's office, and he was on the phone at that time."
"Then, I overheard something, as if he was talking to someone on the phone."
"On the phone, the two of them seemed to be chatting happily, talking and laughing, and then I heard some more. The boss said that his four-eye night vision device works very well, and it is good for hunting."
"It seems that I asked the other party to go hiking outdoors late at night or something. I thought at the time, this boss is quite good at playing."
"Wearing a four-eye night vision goggle at night, that guy looks like a monster. If he meets someone wearing this kind of thing at night, shouldn't he be frightened?"
Hearing the clue given by Yang Wenjing, Gu Chen has already written it in his notebook.
After stopping to write, Gu Chen raised his head to look at Yang Wenjing, and thoughtfully said:
"That is to say, your boss, Zou Xiong, did have the experience of wearing a four-eye night vision goggle and climbing outdoors late at night, right?"
"This...how should I put it?" Yang Wenjing seemed to be still hesitating.
But Gu Chen quickly reminded: "You have to make this clear, because it involves the safety of your boss."
"Okay." I felt quite speechless, but Yang Wenjing still cooperated and said:
"Our boss seems to have had the experience of climbing mountains at night several times. He is an outdoor lover and likes to camp outdoors."
"So a few times, he should have asked someone to climb outdoors together, and he must have carried a four-eye night vision device."
"After all, it's a collection at home anyway, but it's a standard four-eye night vision device when you take it out."
After a pause, Yang Wenjing said again: "And I tried on that thing at night, and it is indeed very advanced."
"Then how does it feel to wear this thing?" Hearing what Yang Wenjing said, Officer Wang immediately became very interested in the four-eye night vision device.
Yang Wenjing smiled and explained, "When you wear that thing, you can look around. If it's night, you can see the characters clearly."
"Not only that, but it also has a thermal imaging function. Anyway, within a few hundred meters, any moving object with heat can be accurately captured by this four-eye night vision device."
"The boss is wearing this, and he went hunting after learning from those hunters abroad, because the prey is equipped with thermal imaging, which is like a live target at night."
