Chapter 2177

It was also after discovering that Zhang Dezhi's situation had changed, so Gu Chen decided to let him go to the hospital for an examination first, so that he could spare time to go to the bar to investigate Zhang Quan and the wild monkey.

If what Zhang Dezhi said is true, then Gu Chen has reason to believe that he may have fallen into a trap.

Of course, these are just Gu Chen's guesses based on his intuition.

As for whether it is true, this will only be known after investigation.

So, on the one hand, Gu Chen asked Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to escort Zhang Dezhi to the hospital for an examination, while he took Lu Weiwei and drove to the bar.

In the car, Lu Weiwei looked at the testimony provided by Zhang Dezhi, and said, "Junior Brother Gu, Zhang Quan is the duty manager of the Banana Bar, and Wild Monkey is the bartender of the Pure Love Inn."

"Should we go to the banana bar first? Or..."

"Let's go to Banana Bar? Anyway, I checked the location, and the two bars are actually not far apart." Gu Chen, who was driving, said.

Seeing that Gu Chen made a decision, Lu Weiwei didn't say anything else, she could only nod her head in agreement.

Not long after, Gu Chen had already parked the car at the entrance of the Banana Bar.

At this moment, in the Banana Bar, the movement of various music can still reach Gu Chen's ears.

The size of this bar is among the peers, it should be considered medium-sized, and there are security guards on duty at the door.

He was wearing a stab-proof suit and was holding a stick in his hand.

Look at that guy, it's quite bluffing.

Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walk into the gate, when passing through the security gate, there was a sudden siren.

The strong security guard immediately stepped forward and reminded, "What are you carrying?"

"Since Gu Chen was wearing casual clothes, he swept off his shirt and revealed the rose gold handcuffs hidden around his waist."

"Who are you?" Seeing this, the strong security guard was very sensible, as if he had guessed Gu Chen's identity.

In order to cooperate with the work, Gu Chen also directly showed his people's police card.

"Oh, so it's Comrade Police, you guys are here tonight..."

"Look for someone." Before the strong security guard finished speaking, Lu Weiwei answered directly.

"Then who are you looking for?" The strong security guard seemed to be a bit jealous of the police, and wanted to find out.

After all, the most fearful thing in this kind of romantic place is inspection.

It is possible to conduct business in a well-regulated manner at ordinary times, but to indulge occasionally.

Therefore, it is common for the police to conduct routine inspections of entertainment venues.

As long as the entertainment venue is found to be in violation of laws and regulations, the entertainment venue may face a multi-day suspension of business for rectification.

Therefore, these entertainment venues are still quite taboo for the police.

Gu Chen is also very clear that the security guards, on the surface, are staff standing at the door to maintain order.

But in fact, once a policeman enters the entertainment venue, the security guard's walkie-talkie will immediately notify the manager inside.

[Currently used, the app with the most complete and best audio for listening to books, integrated with 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and even supports offline reading will say, Brother Zhang does not go to work.

But if Zhang Quan is willing to contact the police, then Zhang Quan himself will respond.

Such a walkie-talkie announcement is actually a buffer for the inside of the bar.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and continued to wait quietly at the door.

Not long after, a middle-aged man's response came from the intercom:

"What did the police want me for?"

"Uh." The strong security guard froze for a moment, turned his head to look in Gu Chen's direction, and asked:

"Comrade policeman, what are you looking for Brother Zhang for?"

"There are some things that I want to understand with him." Lu Weiwei said.

The strong security guard nodded slightly, picked up the walkie-talkie and responded, "They said, ask Brother Zhang for some information."

Putting down the walkie-talkie, it didn't take long before another response came: "Let them wait for me there, I'll come right away."

"He said he'll come right away." The strong security guard replied, smiling at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

The two of them didn't mind, they just stood at the door and waited.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a ponytail and a small beard straightened his floral suit and his Chelsea leather shoes, and walked quickly to the door.

Seeing that it was Gu Chen, the man with the ponytail was taken aback immediately: "Gu...Director Gu, why are you here?"

"Director Gu? Brother Zhang, you said he is the chief?" The strong security guard froze on the spot when he heard Zhang Quan's tone of voice.

Looking at Gu Chen in front of him up and down, no matter how you look at it, he is just a handsome guy in his early twenties, but how did he become the director Zhang Quan said?

Before the strong security guard could react, Zhang Quan blamed him and said:

"What kind of eyes do you have? Director Gu of the Furong Sub-bureau came to visit, and you entertained people like this. You really have no eyesight."

After the words were finished, Zhang Quan smiled flatteringly at Gu Chen again: "Director Gu, I didn't know you were here. It's really bad hospitality, but I didn't expect that you would come here at night."

"You know me?" Gu Chen was also at a loss when faced with Zhang Quan's compliment.

After all, I don't know Zhang Quan.

But Zhang Quan smiled and said, "Yes, why don't you know me? I know quite a few police officers from Furong Sub-bureau."

"I also heard from them that the deputy director of the Furong branch is now a young handsome guy, and he is also a star policeman."

"As soon as I heard that this is a talented person, I asked them, who is Director Gu?"

After slapping his hands, Zhang Quan said with an exaggerated expression: "As soon as they were happy, they took out their mobile phones and showed me Director Gu's handsome face."

"It was after that time that I still have a fresh memory of Director Gu's appearance as a heroic boy."

"Okay, stop sycophanting." I also saw Zhang Quan, who really talked about people and talked nonsense.

Just now I was thinking that it should be a routine inspection by the police, but obviously the security guards blocked the door.

But now when he heard that it was Gu Chen, the deputy director of the Furong Branch, he immediately changed his tone and started to compliment him, which made people get goosebumps.

Zhang Quan is thick-skinned, so he didn't mind, and responded directly with a smile: "I don't know what the hell is going to ask me for Director Gu's visit to our Banana Bar this time?"

"If you need help, just say so."

Gu Chen looked around and said, "Can you find a quiet place, let's talk in detail?"

"Uh." Although he didn't know what Gu Chen meant, Zhang Quan felt a little flustered at the moment.

It was also after thinking about it for a few seconds that Zhang Quan asked Gu Chen: "Then..."

"Let's talk in detail in our car." Lu Weiwei said.

After thinking about it, Zhang Quan could only nod his head and agree, "Okay, then let's talk in the car."

After the words fell, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei took Zhang Quan directly into the police car with the license plate ending in AE86.

The car door was closed, and Zhang Quan, who was sitting in the back row, also asked Gu Chen with a nervous expression: "Gu Ju, you are such a big official, you came to the Banana Bar to look for me at night, I don't know, there is something important I can do for you ?”

"There is really one thing." Seeing Zhang Quan's question, Gu Chen simply told him straight to the point, and said truthfully:

"That's right, do you know Zhang Dezhi?"

"Zhang Dezhi?" Hearing this familiar name, Zhang Quan frowned, and his nervousness spread instantly.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei continued to ask, "Do you know me?"

"Uh, I... I know, I know Zhang Dezhi, right? I know him, but I'm not very familiar with him."

It seemed that he was afraid that Zhang Dezhi's crime would implicate him, thinking that since the police could find him, they must be aware of the relationship between him and Zhang Dezhi.

If you say you don't know each other, it's obviously a bit unreasonable.

Therefore, Zhang Quan can only say that he knows each other, but at the same time, he also states that he is not very familiar with Zhang Dezhi.

In this way, there can be a buffer space.

After hearing what Zhang Quan said, Lu Weiwei adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder before asking:

"Then let me ask you, does Zhang Dezhi usually come to your banana bar for consumption?"

"Yes." What kind of problem do you think this is? Zhang Quan responded directly:

"He's a regular at our Banana Bar and knows a lot of people in our Banana Bar."

After a pause, Zhang Quan said again: "Of course, he is a frequent visitor to our banana bar, but he is also a frequent visitor to other bars."

"Anyway, he likes to go to bars and nightclubs, so he won't stick to any one."

"Okay." After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Chen turned around and said, "Then let me ask you, has he ever told you about starting a business with you?"

"Ah?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhang Quan's eyes were startled, and he responded nervously:

"Yes, yes, he mentioned it, and we have talked privately many times, but this is just an idea and has not been implemented yet."

"What step has it reached?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.

"Uh, how do you say this?" It seemed that he didn't quite understand the intention of the police, so Zhang Quan's reply was also very cautious.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Quan didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked Gu Chen, "Comrade policeman, what happened to Zhang Dezhi?"

"You answer my question first." Seeing that Zhang Quan wanted to skip the question, Gu Chen pulled the question back again.

Zhang Quan sighed, and had no choice but to confess: "Actually, Zhang Dezhi wanted to start a business and open a bar a long time ago."

"Because he is a frequent visitor to the bar and often spends here. He is quite familiar with the business model of bars and nightclubs, as well as the employees here."

"Because Zhang Dezhi has no other skills, but he has a lot of skills in playing. He also likes to make friends. He is very generous in spending money."

Looking up at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in front of him, Zhang Quan said again:

"Because, his family sold the land to the timber market in the early years, and then made a lot of money."

"And the timber market has brought many tangible economic benefits to their village."

"Once this person gets rich suddenly from the poverty stage, he likes to consume, so there is no one who spends money lavishly."

After the voice fell, Zhang Quan immediately raised his volume and continued to explain:

"However, there is also an advantage of spending money lavishly, that is, it is easy to make some contacts. Zhang Dezhi is such a person. Many friends met in bars, and I am one of them."

"So how far have you guys cooperated?" Seeing that Zhang Quan still didn't explain clearly, Lu Weiwei continued to ask impatiently.

Zhang Quan chuckled: "Almost, it's just a matter of finding a venue, evaluating it and then decorating it."

"To be precise, we are almost done with the discussion, and we are about to start investing money to implement the business plan."

"Just the two of you? There's no one else?" Gu Chen recorded all this on the record, and continued to ask through the rearview mirror inside the car.

Zhang Quan shook his head: "No, no, it's not just the two of us. Opening a bar with two people takes too much risk. We also have a partner who is a bartender with pretty good skills."

"If we open a bar, if we don't have an excellent bartender, it will definitely not work, so that person has to take a stake."

"What's your name?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.

"Nickname, Wild Monkey." Zhang Quan blurted out directly.

After Zhang Quan finished speaking, Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen exchanged glances.

The two understood each other, which was basically consistent with the previous investigation of Zhang Dezhi.

So in order to confirm the truth, Lu Weiwei asked Zhang Quan again: "This wild monkey, does he work in your banana bar?"

"I don't care." Zhang Quan shook his head in denial, and quickly said, "Wild Monkey is not in our Banana Bar, he is in another bar nearby."

"The name is Pure Love Inn, and he is the bartender there, because before, the few of us often got together to eat, drink and have fun, so everyone is familiar with each other."

"Innocence Inn?" After getting the result he wanted, Gu Chen recorded it in a record, and asked Zhang Quan:

"Let me ask you, Zhang Dezhi's lover, did you work in the bar here before?"

"His lover? Oh, yes, he used to work in this area. He is a foreigner. He used to work in other bars before coming to our Banana Bar."

"Anyway, the practitioners on our side basically like to switch jobs back and forth between these bars."

"It was also at the Banana Bar, and I introduced them to each other."

"You introduced it? Then you are still a matchmaker?" Hearing what Zhang Quan said, Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up immediately, feeling that she had made a new discovery, so she asked again:

"Then what do you think of the couple's relationship between the two of them? Are they getting along well?"

"Well……"

It seemed that this question was very difficult to answer, Zhang Quan was speechless, and looked at the two innocently.
