I am a super cop

Chapter 1570 Weird Resignation
4 pm.

Star Plaza, Twin Towers.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, who were driving a police car with the license plate ending in AE86, parked the car and found the front desk directly.

This is a high-end commercial office building, and there are many companies that have settled in it. After asking the female receptionist, I learned that Shining Star Media is on the 13th floor of the building.

Because she was a police officer, the female receptionist used her key card to let the two of them in, and kindly pressed the elevator for them.

In the elevator, Lu Weiwei was also very curious, and said to Gu Chen: "The name Xingyao seems to be familiar, and we seem to have come into contact with it when handling the case before."

"There are quite a lot of companies called Xingyao now. The main reason is that the names are relatively common. Senior Sister Lu can look at the prefixes." Gu Chen naturally knew that there were many companies with the same name, so he also reminded.

Lu Weiwei crossed her arms, recalled the name just now, and said thoughtfully: "This one is called Jiangnan Xingyao Media, um, maybe, maybe there are also Jiangbei Xingyao Media, Jiangdong Xingyao Media."

"Ding!"

While the two were talking, the elevator had reached the 13th floor.

When the elevator door opened, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei directly saw the big logo of Jiangnan Xingyao Media Company opposite.

A female receptionist was sitting there playing with her mobile phone. When she saw someone walking through the glass door, she stood up politely and asked the specific situation: "Two police officers, do you have an appointment?"

"Excuse me, how many vice presidents are there in your company?" Lu Weiwei asked straight to the point, also curiously.

The female front desk was a little confused.

Now that he asked about the vice president's situation, it must be another vice president who got into trouble.

The role of the female front desk is sometimes to help the leader and resolve the crisis at the door.

Hearing Lu Weiwei's tone of voice, the female receptionist asked her curiously: "Excuse me, which vice president are you looking for?"

"You have many vice presidents here?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Yes." The female receptionist responded politely: "We have six vice presidents here, each handling different businesses, so I don't know which vice president you two are looking for?"

"Is Xu Xintong an employee of your company?" Seeing that the female receptionist didn't know the specific situation, Gu Chen simply explained to her why he came here: "I'm looking for Xu Xintong's boss."

"Oh, that's Vice President Xiao." Hearing Gu Chen's words, the female receptionist immediately understood.

But Gu Chen continued to ask: "Has Xu Xintong come to work in the company recently?"

"No, I haven't been to the company for almost a week."

"I haven't come to work for more than a week, did I resign or something?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

The female receptionist hesitated for a moment, but shook her head silently, and responded: "I'm not very clear about this, because we are a media company, so the company's employees often travel on business. As for where to go, I'm just a small receptionist, so... I I don’t know the specifics of those circumstances.”

"Then does this belong to the personnel department?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Belongs, the personnel department may know."

"You don't need to bother the HR department." Gu Chen looked around at the company's environment, and asked her directly: "Then, your Vice President Xiao, is he in the company today?"

"This……"

"Is it inconvenient to answer?" Seeing the woman hesitate, Gu Chen asked again.

The female receptionist frowned, and asked weakly: "Can... can I call and ask?"

"Of course, and besides, I want to know, your Vice President Xiao, what's his name?" Gu Chen agreed, and also asked Vice President Xiao's name by the way.

"Xiao Zhicheng." The female receptionist said casually.

Gu Chen immediately entered with his mobile phone, and after confirming that the specific text of "Xiao Zhicheng" was correct, he edited the text message directly and sent it to He Junchao of the Furong Sub-bureau, asking He Junchao to investigate Xiao Zhicheng's specific situation as soon as possible.

At the same time, the phone call of the female receptionist was also connected. After a brief communication, the female receptionist put down her mobile phone, walked out of the reception desk, and politely said to the two:

"Vice President Xiao is at the company this afternoon, shall I take you there?"

"Thank you." Seeing that the female receptionist was willing to let her into the company after all, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and then followed behind.

Passing through a spacious corridor, Gu Chen found that there were independent offices on the left and right sides.

But through the glass partition, not many people were seen working.

"This is Vice President Xiao's office."

While Gu Chen was looking around at the surrounding environment, the female receptionist walked to a door marked "Vice President's Office", and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A man's voice came from inside the house.

The female receptionist opened the door and came in, and said in a low voice, "Vice President Xiao, I've already brought him."

"Okay, make me two cups of tea." A tall and thin man with short hair directly ordered the front desk to greet the guests.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walked into the office side by side, and greeted the tall and thin man.

"I'm Gu Chen, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch. Presumably you are Xu Xintong's leader, Xiao Zhicheng, Deputy Chief Xiao?"

"That's right." Xiao Zhicheng went directly to Gu Chen, shook hands with Gu Chen and greeted him: "I seldom deal with the police, and I don't know if you two need help from my Xiao."

"Xu Xintong, where is she?" Lu Weiwei asked straight to the point.

Xiao Zhicheng's expression was blank, but he shook his head: "You may not believe it, but she quit and has already resigned and returned home."

"Resign? Go home?" Listening to Xiao Zhicheng's ambiguous reply, Lu Weiwei hesitated, and asked again: "She told you to resign herself? Then leave after going through various resignation procedures?"

"No, no." Before Lu Weiwei could finish her question, Xiao Zhicheng shook his head and denied it: "She left the company in a hurry, she didn't tell me in person, but sent me a text message, and she never came to the company after that. "

"Send a text message?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other in surprise.

You know, when Xu Xintong checked out, he also sent a text message to Uncle Zhao, and did not discuss with Uncle Zhao face to face.

Even at that time, one month's rent and half a month's remaining lease period were still in custody.

Xu Xintong didn't want any of these, and chose to end the lease early.

But now, Xiao Zhicheng of Xingyao Company has given the same situation, which makes Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei feel that the situation is really not as simple as imagined.

"Two, please drink tea."

While Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were in a daze, the female receptionist was still in the office, making tea and bringing it to them.

"Thank you."

The two thanked each other at the same time, and the female receptionist also quietly walked to the door and gently closed the door.

Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were a little confused, but Xiao Zhicheng also had many doubts, he immediately invited them to sit down first.

Afterwards, he sat back on the office chair and asked, "I don't know if you two know something about Xu Xintong?"

"Because this is the case, Xu Xintong resigned suddenly. I feel a little weird. After all, the work at hand is only half progressed. This is not in line with normal work."

"That is to say, when Xu Xintong resigned, she still had some work to do. Is that understandable?" Gu Chen asked.

Xiao Zhicheng nodded silently: "Basically, she is my assistant, and our two partners have always been pretty good."

"Just a week before resigning, I couldn't see that she had the slightest idea of ​​resigning."

"Does she usually talk to you?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Xiao Zhicheng nodded: "Yes, but not many, she will tell me some of her recent thoughts, including the troubles in life, these situations, and occasionally talk about them during work breaks."

"Then did she tell you about some troubles in her life or work recently?"

According to the situation given by Xiao Zhicheng himself, Gu Chen took advantage of the opportunity to ask him.

Xiao Zhicheng shook his head: "Recently, we are helping an entertainment company to do artist publicity and planning, so we are all focused on work, and she didn't show any signs of boredom."

"After all, we have done this kind of work many times, and every time we can finish it very well, but this time, she suddenly resigned in the middle of it, and I even called her. No way."

"I just want to comfort Xu Xintong, but I don't know how to get in touch. What do you call this?"

With a faint sigh, Xiao Zhicheng felt a little helpless, and continued to explain: "I have already asked people from the HR department to help me find a new assistant."

"Without the assistant's assistance, I now have a heavy workload every day, and I am in a hurry every day."

"Actually, I want to find her more than you, so if you know where she is, please be sure to contact me."

"After all, she still has a lot of work documents in her hand, which I can't find, which greatly delays my next work."

"Okay." Gu Chen didn't want to hear Xiao Zhicheng complaining here, so he interrupted Xiao Zhicheng's conversation in time, but continued to ask him in another way:

"You mean, you don't know why Xu Xintong resigned suddenly, but you didn't notice any signs of resignation in advance, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay, then, I want to ask again, do you know who Xu Xintong's good friends are?" Gu Chen said.

When Xiao Zhicheng heard this, he suddenly hesitated.

It took me a long time to reply to Gu Chen and said, "I heard that she has a good friend in the rented house. She is also a musician. They should have a good relationship."

"And I also heard from her that the source of music comes from her. Xu Xintong is very happy for this, and Shi Chang talked about it."

"I know that singer, I want to ask, besides that singer, is there anyone else?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Others?" Xiao Zhicheng stared blankly, but shook his head: "In our line of work, it's common to work overtime."

"Except for what Xu Xintong said, the singer's neighbor who lives in the same place as her is our company's colleagues from various departments."

"However, we are all just colleagues, and it's not as good as getting along with each other a lot. Besides, here, apart from work, there is actually very little leisure time."

"And Xu Xintong is a very ambitious person. I feel that there should be no one else except the music maker."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhicheng continued to ask: "By the way, since you know about the music maker, you should know about Xu Xintong's situation. Could it be that Xu Xintong no longer lives in the place where he used to be?"

"Yes." Seeing that Xiao Zhicheng didn't look like he was lying, Gu Chen simply told the truth:
"In fact, Xu Xintong had already withdrawn the rent a week ago, and the method of withdrawing the honor was exactly the same. She did not cancel the rent with the landlord face to face, but sent a text message to the landlord as you said."

"Even before leaving, I didn't take many things with me, and there was still a deposit of one month's rent. I didn't have to pay back the rent for half a month, so I just left without making a sound."

"It's also the neighbor who is engaged in music. I feel that my friend Xu Xintong left too hastily, and I didn't even have a chance to say hello to him. I feel that something is a bit strange, so we asked us to help us investigate."

"So... so it's like this?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Xiao Zhicheng's eyes were also blank, feeling that the situation seemed too weird.

"Impossible, how is this possible? A well-behaved person who didn't even have a formal farewell, just let go."

Putting his hands together on the table, Xiao Zhicheng said a little incomprehensibly, "It's like this here, I don't care about work, so I just resign."

"And the landlord's side is the same, isn't this too weird?"

Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were staring at him, they seemed to be testing themselves.

Xiao Zhicheng was startled, and said with some fear: "Comrade police, you don't suspect that I have a direct relationship with Xu Xintong's disappearance, do you?"

"We didn't say anything." Lu Weiwei was also puzzled.

But Xiao Zhicheng complained again and again: "You two didn't say anything, but I have contacted a lot of people. From the distrustful eyes of you two, I can see that you two are suspicious of me."

"Well, since you said that, I'll tell you the truth." Feeling that there was no need to hide it, Gu Chen simply began to communicate with him frankly.

"Xiao Zhicheng, Xu Xintong's relationship with that singer's neighbor is quite good. She won't quit the rent or discuss with him, and she won't just leave without saying goodbye."

"And as you said, apart from the neighbors and tenants she is familiar with, she also has few close friends at work. The only person she has more contact with is you, Xiao Zhicheng."

"If there is a problem with her sudden disappearance, then we will definitely start the investigation based on the people around her, Xu Xintong, so we don't want you to have any burden."

After a pause, seeing Xiao Zhicheng's surprised face, which seemed a little scared, Gu Chen continued to comfort him: "You don't have to be so nervous, we suspect you, it's out of professional habits, and it doesn't mean that you have a problem."

"I...I know." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Xiao Zhicheng swallowed his saliva quietly, trying to calm himself down.

But at this moment, the thumping heart seemed hard to calm down.

Gu Chen stretched out his hand to look at Xiao Zhicheng, and continued to ask him: "Can you show me Xu Xintong's personal file?"

"Uh, this... this needs to go to the personnel department."

"It's okay, we can wait." Lu Weiwei said.

"Okay." Seeing that if I don't take the initiative to cooperate with the police investigation, perhaps the two policemen will regard themselves as the target of suspicion.

Xiao Zhicheng had nothing to say, he stood up directly, walked to the door, then turned his head and said: "You two wait here for a while, I will communicate with the personnel department and ask them to bring Xu Xintong's entry file."

"I'm sorry." Gu Chen nodded slightly and responded politely.

Then Xiao Zhicheng closed the door with a "bang", and soon there were hurried footsteps coming from the aisle...

Seeing that no one was there at the moment, Lu Weiwei approached Gu Chen and asked him curiously: "Do you think there is anything wrong with this Xiao Zhicheng?"

"It's not very clear now, it depends on how Senior Brother He's investigation is." Gu Chen didn't make unsure reasoning.

For Xiao Zhicheng now, Gu Chen also has only a half-knowledge.

Moreover, whether the circumstances he said is true or not is still open to debate.

So he picked up the water glass and continued to drink tea quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but there was another rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

Pushing open the office door, Xiao Zhicheng directly handed a bound document to Gu Chen with both hands and said, "Comrade policeman, this is Xu Xintong's personal file you want."

"I have asked my colleagues in the HR department to retrieve it and print it into a booklet. Please take a look at it, both of you."

Gu Chen took the file, and did not respond immediately, but leaned against Lu Weiwei, appreciating the information in hand together.

It can be seen from the information that Xu Xintong is only 25 years old this year, and her education level is not high, she is a high school dropout.

But from the part of work experience, Xu Xintong didn't have any outstanding achievements, nothing more than holding ordinary positions in some small companies.

Gu Chen casually scanned the next part, looked up and asked Xiao Zhicheng: "I see that your company can work in a high-end commercial building, and the scale is acceptable. The recruitment requirements must be very strict, right?"

"Yes." Seeing Gu Chen's question, Xiao Zhicheng simply nodded and admitted: "Our side generally requires employees to graduate from prestigious schools."

"Then why did Xu Xintong join your company? Her resume says she dropped out of high school." Lu Weiwei also raised her own doubts.

Xiao Zhicheng felt a little helpless, and hurriedly explained to the two of them: "Xu Xintong is a special person. When arranging the recruitment, I was one of the chief examiners."

"At that time, I found that all the applicants were exaggerating. Although the content in the files was beautiful, they were all flashy."

"Only Xu Xintong's resume seems to have no bright spots, but it is honest enough."

"She was able to work as a general worker in a factory, and she was able to accurately enter the job on a few days and leave on a few days."

"Besides, she dropped out of high school. She can fill in her high school graduation. After all, our company rarely asks you to show your high school diploma. Our HR department usually checks the authenticity of your diploma from a prestigious school."

"So from this point of view, I think Xu Xintong is honest and unpretentious. He is the assistant I want."

"So you arranged her to be your assistant?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Yes." Xiao Zhicheng nodded and admitted.

"Then don't you have any other selfishness?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
