I am a super cop
Chapter 1708 The Woman Behind [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 1708 The Woman Behind [Two Chapters in One]
It seems to be an electric tricycle, and the "buzzing" movement can be heard from a long distance.
While everyone was waiting quietly, at the intersection, a man wearing a long gown with a big logo of "Jiangnan Soy Sauce" was riding an electric tricycle, humming the ditty "Meeting Love at the Corner", and came from the intersection. .
But as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a group of policemen standing in front of him, staring straight at him.
"Bah!"
The man was so frightened that he quickly pulled on the brakes, and the tires made a mark on the ground before stopping in front of everyone.
Seeing the policeman staring at him but not speaking, the man's flustered state of mind immediately eased up a bit.
It doesn't feel like I'm here to find myself.
I was also afraid for a while.
Xin said that she shouldn't have sung the song "Meeting Love at the Corner" just now.
I didn't meet love, but I met a bunch of policemen.
Thinking that I don't do anything bad at ordinary times, even if I cheat in business, it is something that the industry and commerce department should take care of, and I have nothing to do with the police.
Slowing down, the man started the motor again, drove the electric tricycle directly past Gu Chen and the others, and then stopped next to Luo Wei's warehouse.
It was at this time that the man realized that the policemen were still staring at him.
Those sharp eyes made me shiver.
With a strange sound, the man opened the rolling gate with a key and raised the rolling gate high.
But looking back, the policeman who was seven or eight meters away from him just now was standing less than two meters behind him.
The man's expression froze for a moment, and he shrank back subconsciously.
But his head hit the rolling gate directly, and he screamed "Ouch" in pain.
"Are you okay?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward, also puzzled.
The man covered his nose and waved his hands: "No...it's okay, I'm fine."
Standing up, the man hurriedly opened the rolling gate, and his nose was bleeding.
Gu Chen took out a pack of tissues from his body, walked over and handed it to the man: "Wipe it, your nose is bleeding."
"Bleeding?" The man's expression froze, and then he wiped his nose with the back of his hand, and found that the back of his hand was covered with blood, so he gave a wry smile, and took out a tissue from Gu Chen's tissue, and put it on the tip of his nose to stain it with blood .
Then he rolled it into a ball with a tissue, raised his head, and stuffed it into his nostril to stop the bleeding.
"Tell me about you, what are you afraid of when you see us?" Officer Wang looked at the man's sneaky look, and was also very curious.
Although people cannot be judged by their appearance, this man's appearance can really be described as "thiefy eyebrows and mouse eyes".
It's the kind that walks on the street and looks like a bad guy.
The man also looked aggrieved, and complained: "I said comrade police, I ran into you just as I turned the corner, and you all looked at me with such sharp eyes, I...I feel uncomfortable."
"Is this your warehouse?" Gu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with him, but pointed to the warehouse in front of the man and asked.
The man nodded silently: "Yes, this is my warehouse, which is usually used to store some dried seafood and the like."
"Are you also in the Haisheng business?" Yuan Shasha was curious.
The man did not deny it, but nodded, and said, "Most of the warehouse owners on our side are in the dry seafood business, which is nothing surprising."
"Then are you familiar with the people next door?" Gu Chen pointed to Luo Wei's warehouse next door.
The man shook his head: "I don't have any impression, because this person is rarely seen, and there was only one time, I remember I got a batch of dry goods, just moved into the warehouse, and was about to lock the door and go home."
"At that time, it was already dark, but when I left, I found that the warehouse next door was somewhat concealed."
"Because it was summer at that time, I was curious, so I pulled the shutter door to see what was going on next door, but I saw that the guy next door was sleeping directly in the warehouse."
"Is it Luo Wei?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"That's right, that person's name is Luo Wei. I was shocked when I saw him sleeping in the warehouse. The smell of salted fish is not something ordinary people can bear, but that guy can. I feel that guy is a ruthless person." .”
After thinking about it, the man seemed to realize something, so he glanced at the warehouse next door and asked curiously, "Comrade police, are you here to look for Luo Wei?"
"He is dead." Gu Chen said.
"Dead?" The man was also horrified when he heard this.
We were talking about Luo Wei just now, but this guy suddenly disappeared, which made the man seem a bit unable to adapt.
With a confused expression, the man hurried to the warehouse next door.
But as soon as he entered the door, he found Luo Wei lying in the pile of salted fish, seemingly out of breath.
Looking at the motionless Luo Wei, the man turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen and the others before asking, "Comrade policeman, what... what's going on?"
"We also want to know." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms, walked up to the man, and continued to ask him:
"Since you and his warehouse are next door, you should know him more or less, right?"
"I know it, of course I know it, but I'm not familiar with it. Everyone is in the seafood business."
The man thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, his seafood business is doing very well, because we get most of the goods from certain fixed shops along the coast."
"But his goods seem to be obtained from different channels, and he often goes to sea to remote islands to buy dried seafood from local fishermen."
"It's definitely not enough for us common people to run a business like this, but this guy feels like he's fighting chicken blood, he's busy outside all day long."
After a pause, the man said again: "But then again, he works so hard and earns a lot."
"Anyway, he is the one who earns the most among our dry seafood business, but he is so stingy that he doesn't even buy a car. He is very frugal."
"Don't you know how many millions he owes?" Yuan Shasha asked.
The man's expression was blank: "What? How many millions does he owe others?"
Gu Chen carefully observed the man's reaction. Seeing his appearance, he probably didn't know everything about Luo Wei before.
In other words, Luo Wei hid it so well that almost everyone didn't know much about Luo Wei's past.
But no matter what, the current Luo Wei passed away suddenly, and the cause of death was also very strange.
Although it showed symptoms of poisoning, who poisoned it?Gu Chen has no clue yet.
Fortunately, he stopped a peddler in the warehouse next door on the way, and Gu Chen was going to continue digging for useful clues on this man.
"What kind of person Luo Wei is usually, do you know?" Gu Chen adjusted the law enforcement recorder, continued to focus on the man in front of him, and took out the notebook casually.
The man's expression was blank, and he said weakly: "He doesn't like to talk, but he cares about money."
Looking up at Gu Chen, the man said again: "If it wasn't for you, Comrade Police, who told me that he owes others millions of dollars, I would have thought he was always stingy."
"Besides, all of us are in the seafood business, and we all say that our colleagues are friends, and of course we don't confide in our hearts when we chat."
"But I usually observe this Luo Wei, and I feel that he is really lonely, that is... you know, that feeling of having no friends."
"A businessman like this with few friends is quite rare among us businessmen. He has no friends except clients."
Gu Chen recorded these according to the man's narration, and then asked: "Then does he usually look after the warehouse alone?"
"No." The man shook his head, and said in retrospect, "He usually goes to the coastal areas and goes to sea to collect the goods."
"So during his absence, a warehouse guard will be arranged. The goods usually sent from coastal areas will be put into storage for him by the warehouse guard."
"However, most of his business is in the coastal areas, in the Qiong and Guangdong provinces. In our Jiangnan City, it is mainly his self-operated supply, which is to skip the agent and do it by himself."
"In this way, his dry seafood has a price advantage, and his products are of good quality, so the business has been good, but there are too few goods."
"What's the name of the person guarding the warehouse? Can you contact him?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked after completing the previous transcript.
"Wait a minute, I have his phone." The man took out his phone while speaking.
After searching in the address book, he dialed.
Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Gu Chen and the others, the man dialed the phone and urged, "Fatty, come quickly."
"What? Playing mahjong? Hey, don't hang up the phone yet. I have something important to tell you. Yes, your boss Luo Wei is dead. Now the police are at the gate of the warehouse. Let you come over quickly."
"Yes, yes, hurry up, we are waiting for you here, hurry up."
After a while of communication, the man also hung up the phone, and then he smiled at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, this guy is playing mahjong."
"As for me, I have already told him about the situation here, and he will come over later, so can I go first?"
The man was talking and laughing, and was about to retreat to the warehouse.
But was caught by Gu Chen.
The man was a little panicked, and said weakly: "Police...comrade policeman, what do you mean?"
"Don't leave, wait for that fat man to come over." Gu Chen also told the truth.
Before the matter is investigated clearly, it is impossible for Gu Chen to let this neighbor who knows Luo Wei better.
The man looked helpless, as if he was here to load the goods.
But now being stopped by the police, he can't leave at all.
Thinking about what happened in the warehouse next door, the man also let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "Okay, if you don't let me go, then I'll stay here and wait for the fat man to come over."
"By the way, what's your name?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked him after completing the notes in the notebook.
"Jian Xiaojun." The man said.
"What about that fat man?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Zhang Qiang." Jian Xiaojun said.
After Gu Chen wrote his name, he showed it to Jian Xiaojun for confirmation.
There was no mistake in getting the specific name, so Gu Chen asked Jian Xiaojun to find a place to sit down for now.
Jian Xiaojun is also very depressed now, he can only sit on his electric tricycle, waiting for the arrival of fat Zhang Qiang.
It didn't take long for Gu Chen to notice a burly man, riding a lady's small battery car that didn't match his figure at all, riding over from the corner joltingly.
When he saw Gu Chen and the others, he slammed on the brakes.
Lu Weiwei even saw the load-bearing spring of the lady's battery car spring up almost the moment he stood up.
"Are you the Luo Wei family who manages the warehouse?" Officer Wang looked the man in front of him up and down, and asked him curiously.
"Yes... yes." The man seemed to be in his early 20s, with an immature look on his face.
But compared to Jian Xiaojun, this man named Zhang Qiang seemed not afraid of Gu Chen and the others, and said confidently:
"That Jian Xiaojun just now told me on the phone that my boss Luo Wei is dead. Is it true or not? Or did he lie to me on purpose?"
"You'll know when you go and have a look." Gu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense, after all, Zhang Qiang would go to the warehouse to have a look sooner or later.
Looking at Gu Chen's serious expression, Zhang Qiang realized that it seemed that Jian Xiaojun hadn't deceived himself at all.
Walking slowly to the door of the warehouse, he saw Luo Wei lying quietly among the salted fish, with a very peaceful expression and a puzzled expression.
At this moment, Gu Chen walked up to him and asked him, "Did you stay in the warehouse during your boss's return?"
"No." Zhang Qiang shook his head, and quickly explained:
"When my boss is away, I take care of the warehouse, but every time the boss comes back, the dried seafood consigned to the warehouse is shipped early, so he lives in the warehouse as soon as he comes back, and I have nothing to do .”
"So, during the time Luo Wei lived in the warehouse, you have been resting all the time, right?" Lu Weiwei also asked in confirmation.
Zhang Qiang nodded: "That's for sure. I'm fine, so of course I don't need to come here. Besides, I'm just helping him look at the warehouse part-time, and the salary he gives is not high."
"Leave that alone." Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at Zhang Qiang, and asked him curiously, "Your boss is here, has he offended anyone recently?"
"Offend someone?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Qiang scratched his cheeks, thinking about it carefully.
After a while, he told Gu Chendao: "Boss Luo Wei's business is very good in this area, and every time he ships goods from the coastal area, I will greet those dealers in advance."
"And those people will drive to our warehouse early and wait for the goods to arrive."
"Because Luo Wei's goods are easy to sell, his goods often don't need to be stored in the warehouse. I will directly place an order and let these dealers pick them up."
"But who did he offend? I really don't know."
"Then do you know where he has been recently?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhang Qiang scratched his scalp vigorously, thinking over and over again.
But after a few more seconds, Zhang Qiang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "He doesn't have any friends here, but there is one person, you can ask her."
"Who?" Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei asked in unison.
"It's a middle-aged woman. It seems to be called...Xu Juan. Yes, it seems that it was his first love or something. Anyway, this woman has an unusual relationship with him."
"Although Luo Wei doesn't have many friends here, I have seen this woman named Xu Juan come to the warehouse to look for Luo Wei several times, and they often eat together."
"What about recently?" Gu Chen felt a breakthrough, so he hurriedly asked again.
Zhang Qiang took a deep breath and continued to meditate: "This is the latest...I don't know this recently."
"I feel that Luo Wei is not the same as before. I feel that he is in a good mood."
"In the past, Luo Wei, I never saw him smile. Even if dried seafood is selling well, he still has a bitter face."
"But this time when he came back, he kept smiling, and even smiled at me."
Shrinking his neck, Zhang Qiang also shivered: "You have to know that Luo Wei actually doesn't look good when he smiles, he looks uglier when he smiles than when he cries."
"It feels like this time, he should have made a lot of money, so he is very happy, but this time when he came back, the woman named Xu Juan didn't come to him immediately."
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Chen seemed to get some rules from Zhang Qiang's mouth.
Zhang Qiang didn't hide anything, and replied directly: "Every time Luo Wei comes back from the sea, and returns to Jiangnan City from Guangdong Province, that woman named Xu Juan seems to come to him for dinner."
"But it's strange. Although Luo Wei looked very happy this time, the woman named Xu Juan didn't show up."
"At first, I thought that Xu Juan had something to do temporarily, but Luo Wei didn't ask me to come over to look at the warehouse for a few days, which means that Luo Wei has been staying in the warehouse these days and has never traveled far."
"Because every time Luo Wei saw Xu Juan coming, he would go out with Xu Juan, and the two of them would disappear for a while."
"And during this disappearing time, Luo Wei would ask me to come over to guard the warehouse, but not this time."
"Xu Juan?" Gu Chen silently read the name, then recorded it, and asked Zhang Qiang:
"Then this woman named Xu Juan, where does she usually live?"
"Uh, she...she seems to work in a bar. I don't know where she lives. Anyway, you can go to the 857 Bar in the park and ask, and you will definitely find her."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen recorded these, and after entering the identity information of Zhang Qiang and Jian Xiaobing, he let them leave.
At this time, Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau also came over with his assistant.
Seeing Gu Chen standing there frowning, she asked him curiously, "Gu Chen, where's the body?"
"Inside?" Gu Chen turned his back to the direction of the corpse, and just pointed behind him with his right hand.
Gao Chuanfeng turned his head to look, and immediately waved his hand, motioning for the assistant to go over and do an autopsy.
Not long after, Gao Chuanfeng, who was staying in the warehouse, came out and came to Gu Chen's side, covering his mouth and nose, with a painful expression on his face.
"The salted fish inside doesn't smell good, does it?" Gu Chen joked.
Gao Chuanfeng was a little puzzled and said, "It's very strange, why is this person's body covered by salted fish? Could it be that the murderer wanted to hide the body?"
After all, it is possible to judge the thoughts of some murderers through the simple scene environment.
Gu Chen didn't deny it either, but just nodded and said, "The murderer seems to want to cover up the body and prolong the time for us to find the body."
"Yes." Gao Chuanfeng nodded silently. He knew that Gu Chen had already undergone an autopsy, so he also cut to the chase:
"The deceased died of poisoning, but the specific circumstances need to be brought back to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau for a detailed examination."
"So, before tonight, I will definitely report to you."
"It's fine with your words." Gu Chen was also waiting for Gao Chuanfeng's promise.
Then he glanced at Lu Weiwei, who was discussing with Yuan Shasha in the distance, and reminded, "Senior Sister Lu, Xiao Yuan, let's set off quickly."
"Understood, Lao Wang, let's go, leave this place to Gao Chuanfeng." Lu Weiwei said.
"Okay." After finishing the last warehouse inspection, Police Officer Wang felt relieved and followed everyone into the car.
Hand over the crime scene to Gao Chuanfeng, let Master Nie go back to the branch first, and Gu Chen drives the car, and starts to navigate to the so-called 857 Style Bar according to the clues provided by Zhang Qiang.
It can be said that there is no shortage of such entertainment venues in industrial parks.
When night falls, the entertainment venues in the industrial area are basically full of vehicles.
The positioning of the bar is also very precise, just to make money from the park owners and executives.
But at present, Gu Chen doesn't know much about this so-called Xu Juan woman.
But from Zhang Qiang's mouth, I learned that the two may have been lovers before, and every time Luo Wei came back from the sea, she would come to Luo Wei.
This shows that the relationship between the two is very unusual.
And Luo Wei has been burdened with huge debts for so many years. It must be this Xu Juan who has been silently comforting him, so that he has been carrying it until now, so that Xianyu can turn around.
Park the car at the gate of 857 Style Bar.
Gu Chen pushed open the car door and walked directly to the bar door.
Seeing this, a security guard suddenly became a little nervous.
After all, they are also wearing uniforms, but they are wearing police uniforms.
In entertainment places, people in uniforms are most afraid of coming to inspect, this is an inescapable rule.
Seeing Gu Chen leading the team over, the security man hurried forward and said politely, "Comrade policeman, what's your business here?"
"Does Xu Juan work here?" Gu Chen asked.
The security man nodded silently: "Xu Juan is here, but she doesn't work here."
"Not working here? What do you mean?" Lu Weiwei was a little puzzled.
But the security man hurriedly explained: "Xu Juan is our proprietress, and she is one of the three major shareholders."
"Oh, so that's the case?" Hearing what the security man said, Police Officer Wang nodded silently, feeling that there was something interesting in it.
Thinking about the relationship between Xu Juan and Luo Wei, they used to be lovers, and now Xu Juan is here again, running a bar.
No wonder Luo Wei set up his warehouse in this industrial area.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said directly: "Then is your lady boss here today?"
"Yes, that's her car. Where her car is, she is here." The security guard pointed to the convertible sports car at the entrance of the bar.
Gu Chen glanced at it, and said directly: "Then take me to see her, I have something to discuss with her."
"Uh……"
The security guard hesitated.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also asked him directly: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No... no problem, I just want to find the proprietress, I have to inform her, she usually doesn't like to join in the fun, and she doesn't like drinking parties, especially those who come to her for drinks under the name of acquaintances, So sometimes it puts us in the way."
While speaking, the security man had already pulled out his mobile phone and started dialing a number.
After a while, the call was connected.
The security man quickly communicated.
Gu Chen carefully observed the vehicles at the entrance of the bar, one-fifth of which were luxury cars.
And Xu Juan's convertible sports car, parked among these vehicles, is not very eye-catching.
While Gu Chen was thinking, the security man over there had already hung up the phone, walked up to Gu Chen and said:
"Comrade policeman, the proprietress has told you to go directly to Box No. 9."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen patted the security man on the shoulder, and directly took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, and Yuan Shasha into the bar and walked towards the No. 9 box.
In the bar, in the center of the dance floor, there is a band playing songs at this time.
The young men and women in the surrounding booths also sang along from time to time, and the atmosphere was very good.
And now it is the peak time of dining, so it is quite difficult to find a vacant booth.
Squeezing through a bunch of people coming and going, Gu Chen went straight to the door of Box No. 9 and knocked on the door three times.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"
"Come in." A woman's voice came from inside the box.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, he opened the handle and walked in directly.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman with fashionable clothes and exquisite makeup was sitting on the side of the box, watching the movement on the stage downstairs.
In the box here, there is a soundproof window facing the stage, so you can have a panoramic view of everything on the stage.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others just came in, the middle-aged woman directly closed the window.
The noisy movement just now became insignificant in an instant.
Turning her head to look at Gu Chen, the middle-aged woman also looked up and down with admiration, and asked: "Several police comrades, are you here looking for something?"
"You are Xu Juan?" Gu Chen cut to the chase and walked up to the woman.
The woman smiled slightly, nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am Xu Juan, what's wrong?"
"Do you know Luo Wei?" Gu Chen said.
"I know you." Xu Juan nodded, signaling Gu Chen and the others to sit down first.
Gu Chen also chose a sofa opposite to sit down, and asked: "Then Luo Wei's situation, do you know now?"
"What's the matter with him? Isn't he wholesale seafood along the coast? Why are you asking this?" Xu Juan seemed to be unaware of the fact that Luo Wei had returned, and smiled teasingly.
Lu Weiwei took a deep breath and asked curiously, "Will Luo Wei contact you every time he comes back?"
When Xu Juan heard this, she seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the relaxed smile just now gradually disappeared.
She looked at the policemen in front of her, and asked weakly, "Luo... Did something happen to Luo Wei?"
"You answer my question first." Lu Weiwei continued to urge.
Xu Juan frowned, then nodded silently, and voluntarily admitted: "That's right, every time Luo Wei comes back, he will call me."
"Then when was the last time you communicated?" Gu Chen adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder, and also took out the notebook to ask.
"Last time?" Xu Juan raised her head and thought, "It will take four or five days, we don't usually contact each other often."
"Because he is going to sea, he is very busy, and he likes to keep everything in his heart, but every time he comes back, he will call me, and then I will drive to pick him up, and come to my place for a few drinks. cup."
"Is it all your treat?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Xu Juan chuckled and said: "Of course, because Luo Wei owes a lot of debts, how much money he spends on food every day has to be carefully calculated, how could he invite me to dinner?"
"And in this bar, I am the boss, but every time Luo Wei comes back, if there is any surprise, or if there is any discomfort, he will come to me to complain, and he will feel more at ease..."
"You were in a relationship with him before, right?"
Before Xu Juan could finish speaking here, Gu Chen asked directly.
Xu Juan's expression was stunned, and she replied seriously: "No...that's right, the two of us were classmates in high school. At that time, he chased me, and I was with him too."
"Later, both of us went to college in different places. Because of our long-distance relationship, as you all know, there were more and more conflicts, and finally we broke up like this."
With a faint sigh, Xu Juan picked up an exquisite iron box on the table, took out a slender cigarette from it, and put it in her mouth.
After lighting a cigarette with the lighter on the table, he took a deep breath and said, "Later, we each started a family. His marriage was fairly stable, but mine was not."
"I got married twice, and then... divorced twice, and now I'm alone, and I want to let go."
"I feel that if I can't find a soul mate to accompany me for a lifetime, then it's not bad for me to just keep a few pets for the rest of my life."
"But he..."
Speaking of Luo Wei, Xu Juan hesitated again, as if the words came to her lips, but she couldn't speak them out.
"He went bankrupt a few years ago and divorced his wife," Yuan Shasha added.
Xu Juan smiled and nodded: "Of course I know, his wife, to be honest, I have long thought that she is not good enough."
"Luo Wei is a relatively traditional person. His business was booming back then, and there was never a shortage of Yingying and Yanyan around him, but he lived among thousands of flowers and never touched himself."
"Rejecting one temptation after another, he only has his wife in his heart, but what did he get in exchange? The company went bankrupt, he was heavily in debt, and his wife patted his butt and divorced."
"Leave all of this to Luo Wei. You know, many debts back then, including that of Luo Wei's company's vice president, were pocketed in various ways. In fact, his wife also had a share, but everyone knew it."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Juan flicked the cigarette ash in her hand, and said involuntarily: "But once he went bankrupt, Luo Wei would have nothing. If it weren't for my old lover, I would have paid off most of the bank's interest for him. , helped him stabilize his debts."
"I'm afraid he's already committed suicide by jumping off the building."
"So, you helped him fill in the huge debt he had back then?" Hearing what Xu Juan said, Gu Chen suddenly became interested.
Of course, Gu Chen wants to know everything about Luo Wei, including what he experienced back then.
But Xu Juan didn't seem to want to hide anything, and said bluntly:
"Of course, I was the one who helped him when he was at his worst and most helpless."
"I used my face in this area to help him stabilize many suppliers, which allowed him to go to Western Europe."
"I also gave him a sum of money as living expenses, but he was very competitive. At first, I thought that at this age, this man is still burdened with millions of debts. This must be the case in this life. He can hide if he can. Don't expect him to come back."
"To my surprise, Luo Wei not only returned to China, but also brought the accumulated funds he earned in Western Europe."
"Not only began to pay off debts one after another, but also started a seafood wholesale business, so every time he came back to Jiangnan City, I would go to find him, cheer him up, and silently support Luo Wei."
"You want to be with him?" Lu Weiwei also had some admiration for the woman in front of her after hearing Xu Juan's words.
But Xu Juan seemed to be very straightforward. When Lu Weiwei asked this question, she didn't bother to hide it, so she just nodded and admitted:
"That's right, I missed him back then. I never gave up on him when he was at his worst."
"Although I don't expect him to be able to stand up, I also hope that he will not be depressed in this life."
"But Luo Wei is a real man after all, and he will pay off his debts soon. At that time, I don't think there will be any pressure at all with him, and he will be willing to marry me..."
"he died."
When Xu Juan was smoking a lady's cigarette and enjoying the future with Luo Wei, Gu Chen's words were like a bolt from the blue.
Xu Juan's smile disappeared instantly, she looked at Gu Chen with incredible eyes, and then asked in a trembling voice:
"You... what did you say? Luo Wei, he... he, he, he died?"
"That's right." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and said soothingly, "He died this morning."
"Yes... fell into the sea?" Xu Juan's eyes filled with tears, and soon the tears fell uncontrollably.
Officer Wang shook his head: "He didn't die in the sea, but...he died in his own warehouse, which is our warehouse at No. 228 Chuangye Road."
"He's back?" Xu Juan's expression became agitated, and her body leaned forward obviously.
Yuan Shasha nodded silently: "Yes, he has been back for several days."
"Impossible." Hearing Yuan Shasha's remarks, Xu Juan waved her hand directly, and said with a wry smile:
"He will definitely call me as soon as he comes back. How come he didn't contact me for a few days after he came back? You must have made a mistake."
"Xu Juan, please accept the reality." Gu Chen didn't want to argue with her, so he took out his phone and clicked on the photo album.
Show her the photo of Luo Wei lying in the pile of salted fish: "This is how we found him in his warehouse. At that time, he was poisoned and died in his own warehouse."
"Woooo!"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Xu Juan burst into tears when she saw the photo of Luo Wei lying dead in the pile of salted fish on Gu Chen's mobile phone, covering her face with her left hand, heartbroken.
For a moment, the entire private room was filled with a sad atmosphere.
Xu Juan could no longer restrain the sadness in her heart, tears soon soaked the floor in front of her.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha looked at each other, and then, Lu Weiwei took out her tissue, handed one of them to her and said, "Wipe your tears."
"Woohoo!" Xu Juan took the tissue, wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and then put it on her nose to wipe the snot.
At this time, Xu Juan seemed to have lost the exquisite makeup just now.
Xu Juan's entire face is now covered in makeup and eyeliner.
On both sides of the corners of the eyes, there were also two black tears.
She looked at Gu Chen and said with a puzzled expression: "Comrade policeman, what do you think is going on? Luo Wei has already returned, why didn't he contact me?"
"This... I have to ask you this?" Gu Chen also looked helpless.
If I want to know this, do I still need to come and find her?
Lu Weiwei also hurriedly asked: "Could it be that you didn't find anything wrong with him the last time you contacted him?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Juan suddenly came to her senses after being reminded by Lu Weiwei.
Only then did he quickly stop crying, trying to recall the scene of the last contact.
At this time, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha didn't intend to disturb her, they just waited and watched Xu Juan's face change.
After about tens of seconds passed, Xu Juan said slowly:
"The last time I contacted him was when he was in Guangdong Province. At that time, he told me that he was about to pay off all his debts."
"I was happy for him at the time, but he seemed to say something to me again, but I was already so happy at that time, as if I didn't hear what he was saying clearly."
"Why didn't you hear clearly? You have to hear clearly." Seeing this key clue, Lu Weiwei seemed to be about to reveal it, but Xu Juan said that she didn't hear clearly, which inevitably made Lu Weiwei a little impatient.
Xu Juan was also in a hurry, and she said in a bad mood: "At that time, I patronized and kept celebrating him, and asked him to contact me as soon as possible after he came back."
"I also told him that when he comes back, let's go to a better restaurant, order his favorite dishes and let him pay for it."
"After all, these years, every time I treat guests, I pay, but because of Luo Wei's debts, I never care about him. I just hope that he will pay off the money as soon as possible, and live a debt-free life from now on. Life."
"He actually..."
Hearing Xu Juan say this, Gu Chen suddenly hesitated to speak.
Lu Weiwei knew very well that Gu Chen wanted to say that Luo Wei had indeed been to a mid-range restaurant and ordered a luxurious set meal for 4 people.
But Luo Wei did not choose to celebrate with Xu Juan, nor did he tell Xu Juan about his return.
Instead, I chose to be alone in the restaurant to celebrate paying off my debts.
And Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen were also present at the time, sharing happiness with Luo Wei.
Lu Weiwei still clearly remembered that that night seemed to be Luo Wei's happiest day, and he even drank a bottle of white wine for an unprecedented time.
You know, in these years of debt, Luo Wei even searched and searched to buy a bottle of mineral water, let alone drink.
But why not contact Xu Juan?
Xu Juan has paid so much for Luo Wei, logically speaking, Luo Wei should share happiness with Xu Juan immediately after paying off the debt, and celebrate with Xu Juan in the restaurant.
But Luo Wei did not do this.
All kinds of doubts made Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei look at each other.
The two also seemed to notice something unusual.
Heartbroken, Xu Juan hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What is he really? Comrade policeman, what do you want to say?"
Seeing Lu Weiwei silently nodding to himself, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said truthfully:
"On the day he actually paid off his debts, he came to a restaurant alone and ordered a luxury set meal for 4 people to eat alone."
"He told the waiter that he had just paid off his debt today and he wanted to celebrate by himself."
"When asked why he didn't share his joy with his relatives and friends? He told the waiter that since he went into debt, he has no relatives and friends."
"So, I've been blind for so many years?" Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Xu Juan was suddenly hit by a bolt from the blue, as if the whole world collapsed.

(End of this chapter)
It seems to be an electric tricycle, and the "buzzing" movement can be heard from a long distance.
While everyone was waiting quietly, at the intersection, a man wearing a long gown with a big logo of "Jiangnan Soy Sauce" was riding an electric tricycle, humming the ditty "Meeting Love at the Corner", and came from the intersection. .
But as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a group of policemen standing in front of him, staring straight at him.
"Bah!"
The man was so frightened that he quickly pulled on the brakes, and the tires made a mark on the ground before stopping in front of everyone.
Seeing the policeman staring at him but not speaking, the man's flustered state of mind immediately eased up a bit.
It doesn't feel like I'm here to find myself.
I was also afraid for a while.
Xin said that she shouldn't have sung the song "Meeting Love at the Corner" just now.
I didn't meet love, but I met a bunch of policemen.
Thinking that I don't do anything bad at ordinary times, even if I cheat in business, it is something that the industry and commerce department should take care of, and I have nothing to do with the police.
Slowing down, the man started the motor again, drove the electric tricycle directly past Gu Chen and the others, and then stopped next to Luo Wei's warehouse.
It was at this time that the man realized that the policemen were still staring at him.
Those sharp eyes made me shiver.
With a strange sound, the man opened the rolling gate with a key and raised the rolling gate high.
But looking back, the policeman who was seven or eight meters away from him just now was standing less than two meters behind him.
The man's expression froze for a moment, and he shrank back subconsciously.
But his head hit the rolling gate directly, and he screamed "Ouch" in pain.
"Are you okay?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward, also puzzled.
The man covered his nose and waved his hands: "No...it's okay, I'm fine."
Standing up, the man hurriedly opened the rolling gate, and his nose was bleeding.
Gu Chen took out a pack of tissues from his body, walked over and handed it to the man: "Wipe it, your nose is bleeding."
"Bleeding?" The man's expression froze, and then he wiped his nose with the back of his hand, and found that the back of his hand was covered with blood, so he gave a wry smile, and took out a tissue from Gu Chen's tissue, and put it on the tip of his nose to stain it with blood .
Then he rolled it into a ball with a tissue, raised his head, and stuffed it into his nostril to stop the bleeding.
"Tell me about you, what are you afraid of when you see us?" Officer Wang looked at the man's sneaky look, and was also very curious.
Although people cannot be judged by their appearance, this man's appearance can really be described as "thiefy eyebrows and mouse eyes".
It's the kind that walks on the street and looks like a bad guy.
The man also looked aggrieved, and complained: "I said comrade police, I ran into you just as I turned the corner, and you all looked at me with such sharp eyes, I...I feel uncomfortable."
"Is this your warehouse?" Gu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with him, but pointed to the warehouse in front of the man and asked.
The man nodded silently: "Yes, this is my warehouse, which is usually used to store some dried seafood and the like."
"Are you also in the Haisheng business?" Yuan Shasha was curious.
The man did not deny it, but nodded, and said, "Most of the warehouse owners on our side are in the dry seafood business, which is nothing surprising."
"Then are you familiar with the people next door?" Gu Chen pointed to Luo Wei's warehouse next door.
The man shook his head: "I don't have any impression, because this person is rarely seen, and there was only one time, I remember I got a batch of dry goods, just moved into the warehouse, and was about to lock the door and go home."
"At that time, it was already dark, but when I left, I found that the warehouse next door was somewhat concealed."
"Because it was summer at that time, I was curious, so I pulled the shutter door to see what was going on next door, but I saw that the guy next door was sleeping directly in the warehouse."
"Is it Luo Wei?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"That's right, that person's name is Luo Wei. I was shocked when I saw him sleeping in the warehouse. The smell of salted fish is not something ordinary people can bear, but that guy can. I feel that guy is a ruthless person." .”
After thinking about it, the man seemed to realize something, so he glanced at the warehouse next door and asked curiously, "Comrade police, are you here to look for Luo Wei?"
"He is dead." Gu Chen said.
"Dead?" The man was also horrified when he heard this.
We were talking about Luo Wei just now, but this guy suddenly disappeared, which made the man seem a bit unable to adapt.
With a confused expression, the man hurried to the warehouse next door.
But as soon as he entered the door, he found Luo Wei lying in the pile of salted fish, seemingly out of breath.
Looking at the motionless Luo Wei, the man turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen and the others before asking, "Comrade policeman, what... what's going on?"
"We also want to know." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms, walked up to the man, and continued to ask him:
"Since you and his warehouse are next door, you should know him more or less, right?"
"I know it, of course I know it, but I'm not familiar with it. Everyone is in the seafood business."
The man thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, his seafood business is doing very well, because we get most of the goods from certain fixed shops along the coast."
"But his goods seem to be obtained from different channels, and he often goes to sea to remote islands to buy dried seafood from local fishermen."
"It's definitely not enough for us common people to run a business like this, but this guy feels like he's fighting chicken blood, he's busy outside all day long."
After a pause, the man said again: "But then again, he works so hard and earns a lot."
"Anyway, he is the one who earns the most among our dry seafood business, but he is so stingy that he doesn't even buy a car. He is very frugal."
"Don't you know how many millions he owes?" Yuan Shasha asked.
The man's expression was blank: "What? How many millions does he owe others?"
Gu Chen carefully observed the man's reaction. Seeing his appearance, he probably didn't know everything about Luo Wei before.
In other words, Luo Wei hid it so well that almost everyone didn't know much about Luo Wei's past.
But no matter what, the current Luo Wei passed away suddenly, and the cause of death was also very strange.
Although it showed symptoms of poisoning, who poisoned it?Gu Chen has no clue yet.
Fortunately, he stopped a peddler in the warehouse next door on the way, and Gu Chen was going to continue digging for useful clues on this man.
"What kind of person Luo Wei is usually, do you know?" Gu Chen adjusted the law enforcement recorder, continued to focus on the man in front of him, and took out the notebook casually.
The man's expression was blank, and he said weakly: "He doesn't like to talk, but he cares about money."
Looking up at Gu Chen, the man said again: "If it wasn't for you, Comrade Police, who told me that he owes others millions of dollars, I would have thought he was always stingy."
"Besides, all of us are in the seafood business, and we all say that our colleagues are friends, and of course we don't confide in our hearts when we chat."
"But I usually observe this Luo Wei, and I feel that he is really lonely, that is... you know, that feeling of having no friends."
"A businessman like this with few friends is quite rare among us businessmen. He has no friends except clients."
Gu Chen recorded these according to the man's narration, and then asked: "Then does he usually look after the warehouse alone?"
"No." The man shook his head, and said in retrospect, "He usually goes to the coastal areas and goes to sea to collect the goods."
"So during his absence, a warehouse guard will be arranged. The goods usually sent from coastal areas will be put into storage for him by the warehouse guard."
"However, most of his business is in the coastal areas, in the Qiong and Guangdong provinces. In our Jiangnan City, it is mainly his self-operated supply, which is to skip the agent and do it by himself."
"In this way, his dry seafood has a price advantage, and his products are of good quality, so the business has been good, but there are too few goods."
"What's the name of the person guarding the warehouse? Can you contact him?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked after completing the previous transcript.
"Wait a minute, I have his phone." The man took out his phone while speaking.
After searching in the address book, he dialed.
Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Gu Chen and the others, the man dialed the phone and urged, "Fatty, come quickly."
"What? Playing mahjong? Hey, don't hang up the phone yet. I have something important to tell you. Yes, your boss Luo Wei is dead. Now the police are at the gate of the warehouse. Let you come over quickly."
"Yes, yes, hurry up, we are waiting for you here, hurry up."
After a while of communication, the man also hung up the phone, and then he smiled at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, this guy is playing mahjong."
"As for me, I have already told him about the situation here, and he will come over later, so can I go first?"
The man was talking and laughing, and was about to retreat to the warehouse.
But was caught by Gu Chen.
The man was a little panicked, and said weakly: "Police...comrade policeman, what do you mean?"
"Don't leave, wait for that fat man to come over." Gu Chen also told the truth.
Before the matter is investigated clearly, it is impossible for Gu Chen to let this neighbor who knows Luo Wei better.
The man looked helpless, as if he was here to load the goods.
But now being stopped by the police, he can't leave at all.
Thinking about what happened in the warehouse next door, the man also let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "Okay, if you don't let me go, then I'll stay here and wait for the fat man to come over."
"By the way, what's your name?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked him after completing the notes in the notebook.
"Jian Xiaojun." The man said.
"What about that fat man?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Zhang Qiang." Jian Xiaojun said.
After Gu Chen wrote his name, he showed it to Jian Xiaojun for confirmation.
There was no mistake in getting the specific name, so Gu Chen asked Jian Xiaojun to find a place to sit down for now.
Jian Xiaojun is also very depressed now, he can only sit on his electric tricycle, waiting for the arrival of fat Zhang Qiang.
It didn't take long for Gu Chen to notice a burly man, riding a lady's small battery car that didn't match his figure at all, riding over from the corner joltingly.
When he saw Gu Chen and the others, he slammed on the brakes.
Lu Weiwei even saw the load-bearing spring of the lady's battery car spring up almost the moment he stood up.
"Are you the Luo Wei family who manages the warehouse?" Officer Wang looked the man in front of him up and down, and asked him curiously.
"Yes... yes." The man seemed to be in his early 20s, with an immature look on his face.
But compared to Jian Xiaojun, this man named Zhang Qiang seemed not afraid of Gu Chen and the others, and said confidently:
"That Jian Xiaojun just now told me on the phone that my boss Luo Wei is dead. Is it true or not? Or did he lie to me on purpose?"
"You'll know when you go and have a look." Gu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense, after all, Zhang Qiang would go to the warehouse to have a look sooner or later.
Looking at Gu Chen's serious expression, Zhang Qiang realized that it seemed that Jian Xiaojun hadn't deceived himself at all.
Walking slowly to the door of the warehouse, he saw Luo Wei lying quietly among the salted fish, with a very peaceful expression and a puzzled expression.
At this moment, Gu Chen walked up to him and asked him, "Did you stay in the warehouse during your boss's return?"
"No." Zhang Qiang shook his head, and quickly explained:
"When my boss is away, I take care of the warehouse, but every time the boss comes back, the dried seafood consigned to the warehouse is shipped early, so he lives in the warehouse as soon as he comes back, and I have nothing to do .”
"So, during the time Luo Wei lived in the warehouse, you have been resting all the time, right?" Lu Weiwei also asked in confirmation.
Zhang Qiang nodded: "That's for sure. I'm fine, so of course I don't need to come here. Besides, I'm just helping him look at the warehouse part-time, and the salary he gives is not high."
"Leave that alone." Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at Zhang Qiang, and asked him curiously, "Your boss is here, has he offended anyone recently?"
"Offend someone?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Qiang scratched his cheeks, thinking about it carefully.
After a while, he told Gu Chendao: "Boss Luo Wei's business is very good in this area, and every time he ships goods from the coastal area, I will greet those dealers in advance."
"And those people will drive to our warehouse early and wait for the goods to arrive."
"Because Luo Wei's goods are easy to sell, his goods often don't need to be stored in the warehouse. I will directly place an order and let these dealers pick them up."
"But who did he offend? I really don't know."
"Then do you know where he has been recently?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhang Qiang scratched his scalp vigorously, thinking over and over again.
But after a few more seconds, Zhang Qiang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "He doesn't have any friends here, but there is one person, you can ask her."
"Who?" Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei asked in unison.
"It's a middle-aged woman. It seems to be called...Xu Juan. Yes, it seems that it was his first love or something. Anyway, this woman has an unusual relationship with him."
"Although Luo Wei doesn't have many friends here, I have seen this woman named Xu Juan come to the warehouse to look for Luo Wei several times, and they often eat together."
"What about recently?" Gu Chen felt a breakthrough, so he hurriedly asked again.
Zhang Qiang took a deep breath and continued to meditate: "This is the latest...I don't know this recently."
"I feel that Luo Wei is not the same as before. I feel that he is in a good mood."
"In the past, Luo Wei, I never saw him smile. Even if dried seafood is selling well, he still has a bitter face."
"But this time when he came back, he kept smiling, and even smiled at me."
Shrinking his neck, Zhang Qiang also shivered: "You have to know that Luo Wei actually doesn't look good when he smiles, he looks uglier when he smiles than when he cries."
"It feels like this time, he should have made a lot of money, so he is very happy, but this time when he came back, the woman named Xu Juan didn't come to him immediately."
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Chen seemed to get some rules from Zhang Qiang's mouth.
Zhang Qiang didn't hide anything, and replied directly: "Every time Luo Wei comes back from the sea, and returns to Jiangnan City from Guangdong Province, that woman named Xu Juan seems to come to him for dinner."
"But it's strange. Although Luo Wei looked very happy this time, the woman named Xu Juan didn't show up."
"At first, I thought that Xu Juan had something to do temporarily, but Luo Wei didn't ask me to come over to look at the warehouse for a few days, which means that Luo Wei has been staying in the warehouse these days and has never traveled far."
"Because every time Luo Wei saw Xu Juan coming, he would go out with Xu Juan, and the two of them would disappear for a while."
"And during this disappearing time, Luo Wei would ask me to come over to guard the warehouse, but not this time."
"Xu Juan?" Gu Chen silently read the name, then recorded it, and asked Zhang Qiang:
"Then this woman named Xu Juan, where does she usually live?"
"Uh, she...she seems to work in a bar. I don't know where she lives. Anyway, you can go to the 857 Bar in the park and ask, and you will definitely find her."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen recorded these, and after entering the identity information of Zhang Qiang and Jian Xiaobing, he let them leave.
At this time, Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau also came over with his assistant.
Seeing Gu Chen standing there frowning, she asked him curiously, "Gu Chen, where's the body?"
"Inside?" Gu Chen turned his back to the direction of the corpse, and just pointed behind him with his right hand.
Gao Chuanfeng turned his head to look, and immediately waved his hand, motioning for the assistant to go over and do an autopsy.
Not long after, Gao Chuanfeng, who was staying in the warehouse, came out and came to Gu Chen's side, covering his mouth and nose, with a painful expression on his face.
"The salted fish inside doesn't smell good, does it?" Gu Chen joked.
Gao Chuanfeng was a little puzzled and said, "It's very strange, why is this person's body covered by salted fish? Could it be that the murderer wanted to hide the body?"
After all, it is possible to judge the thoughts of some murderers through the simple scene environment.
Gu Chen didn't deny it either, but just nodded and said, "The murderer seems to want to cover up the body and prolong the time for us to find the body."
"Yes." Gao Chuanfeng nodded silently. He knew that Gu Chen had already undergone an autopsy, so he also cut to the chase:
"The deceased died of poisoning, but the specific circumstances need to be brought back to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau for a detailed examination."
"So, before tonight, I will definitely report to you."
"It's fine with your words." Gu Chen was also waiting for Gao Chuanfeng's promise.
Then he glanced at Lu Weiwei, who was discussing with Yuan Shasha in the distance, and reminded, "Senior Sister Lu, Xiao Yuan, let's set off quickly."
"Understood, Lao Wang, let's go, leave this place to Gao Chuanfeng." Lu Weiwei said.
"Okay." After finishing the last warehouse inspection, Police Officer Wang felt relieved and followed everyone into the car.
Hand over the crime scene to Gao Chuanfeng, let Master Nie go back to the branch first, and Gu Chen drives the car, and starts to navigate to the so-called 857 Style Bar according to the clues provided by Zhang Qiang.
It can be said that there is no shortage of such entertainment venues in industrial parks.
When night falls, the entertainment venues in the industrial area are basically full of vehicles.
The positioning of the bar is also very precise, just to make money from the park owners and executives.
But at present, Gu Chen doesn't know much about this so-called Xu Juan woman.
But from Zhang Qiang's mouth, I learned that the two may have been lovers before, and every time Luo Wei came back from the sea, she would come to Luo Wei.
This shows that the relationship between the two is very unusual.
And Luo Wei has been burdened with huge debts for so many years. It must be this Xu Juan who has been silently comforting him, so that he has been carrying it until now, so that Xianyu can turn around.
Park the car at the gate of 857 Style Bar.
Gu Chen pushed open the car door and walked directly to the bar door.
Seeing this, a security guard suddenly became a little nervous.
After all, they are also wearing uniforms, but they are wearing police uniforms.
In entertainment places, people in uniforms are most afraid of coming to inspect, this is an inescapable rule.
Seeing Gu Chen leading the team over, the security man hurried forward and said politely, "Comrade policeman, what's your business here?"
"Does Xu Juan work here?" Gu Chen asked.
The security man nodded silently: "Xu Juan is here, but she doesn't work here."
"Not working here? What do you mean?" Lu Weiwei was a little puzzled.
But the security man hurriedly explained: "Xu Juan is our proprietress, and she is one of the three major shareholders."
"Oh, so that's the case?" Hearing what the security man said, Police Officer Wang nodded silently, feeling that there was something interesting in it.
Thinking about the relationship between Xu Juan and Luo Wei, they used to be lovers, and now Xu Juan is here again, running a bar.
No wonder Luo Wei set up his warehouse in this industrial area.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said directly: "Then is your lady boss here today?"
"Yes, that's her car. Where her car is, she is here." The security guard pointed to the convertible sports car at the entrance of the bar.
Gu Chen glanced at it, and said directly: "Then take me to see her, I have something to discuss with her."
"Uh……"
The security guard hesitated.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also asked him directly: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No... no problem, I just want to find the proprietress, I have to inform her, she usually doesn't like to join in the fun, and she doesn't like drinking parties, especially those who come to her for drinks under the name of acquaintances, So sometimes it puts us in the way."
While speaking, the security man had already pulled out his mobile phone and started dialing a number.
After a while, the call was connected.
The security man quickly communicated.
Gu Chen carefully observed the vehicles at the entrance of the bar, one-fifth of which were luxury cars.
And Xu Juan's convertible sports car, parked among these vehicles, is not very eye-catching.
While Gu Chen was thinking, the security man over there had already hung up the phone, walked up to Gu Chen and said:
"Comrade policeman, the proprietress has told you to go directly to Box No. 9."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen patted the security man on the shoulder, and directly took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, and Yuan Shasha into the bar and walked towards the No. 9 box.
In the bar, in the center of the dance floor, there is a band playing songs at this time.
The young men and women in the surrounding booths also sang along from time to time, and the atmosphere was very good.
And now it is the peak time of dining, so it is quite difficult to find a vacant booth.
Squeezing through a bunch of people coming and going, Gu Chen went straight to the door of Box No. 9 and knocked on the door three times.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"
"Come in." A woman's voice came from inside the box.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, he opened the handle and walked in directly.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman with fashionable clothes and exquisite makeup was sitting on the side of the box, watching the movement on the stage downstairs.
In the box here, there is a soundproof window facing the stage, so you can have a panoramic view of everything on the stage.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others just came in, the middle-aged woman directly closed the window.
The noisy movement just now became insignificant in an instant.
Turning her head to look at Gu Chen, the middle-aged woman also looked up and down with admiration, and asked: "Several police comrades, are you here looking for something?"
"You are Xu Juan?" Gu Chen cut to the chase and walked up to the woman.
The woman smiled slightly, nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am Xu Juan, what's wrong?"
"Do you know Luo Wei?" Gu Chen said.
"I know you." Xu Juan nodded, signaling Gu Chen and the others to sit down first.
Gu Chen also chose a sofa opposite to sit down, and asked: "Then Luo Wei's situation, do you know now?"
"What's the matter with him? Isn't he wholesale seafood along the coast? Why are you asking this?" Xu Juan seemed to be unaware of the fact that Luo Wei had returned, and smiled teasingly.
Lu Weiwei took a deep breath and asked curiously, "Will Luo Wei contact you every time he comes back?"
When Xu Juan heard this, she seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the relaxed smile just now gradually disappeared.
She looked at the policemen in front of her, and asked weakly, "Luo... Did something happen to Luo Wei?"
"You answer my question first." Lu Weiwei continued to urge.
Xu Juan frowned, then nodded silently, and voluntarily admitted: "That's right, every time Luo Wei comes back, he will call me."
"Then when was the last time you communicated?" Gu Chen adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder, and also took out the notebook to ask.
"Last time?" Xu Juan raised her head and thought, "It will take four or five days, we don't usually contact each other often."
"Because he is going to sea, he is very busy, and he likes to keep everything in his heart, but every time he comes back, he will call me, and then I will drive to pick him up, and come to my place for a few drinks. cup."
"Is it all your treat?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Xu Juan chuckled and said: "Of course, because Luo Wei owes a lot of debts, how much money he spends on food every day has to be carefully calculated, how could he invite me to dinner?"
"And in this bar, I am the boss, but every time Luo Wei comes back, if there is any surprise, or if there is any discomfort, he will come to me to complain, and he will feel more at ease..."
"You were in a relationship with him before, right?"
Before Xu Juan could finish speaking here, Gu Chen asked directly.
Xu Juan's expression was stunned, and she replied seriously: "No...that's right, the two of us were classmates in high school. At that time, he chased me, and I was with him too."
"Later, both of us went to college in different places. Because of our long-distance relationship, as you all know, there were more and more conflicts, and finally we broke up like this."
With a faint sigh, Xu Juan picked up an exquisite iron box on the table, took out a slender cigarette from it, and put it in her mouth.
After lighting a cigarette with the lighter on the table, he took a deep breath and said, "Later, we each started a family. His marriage was fairly stable, but mine was not."
"I got married twice, and then... divorced twice, and now I'm alone, and I want to let go."
"I feel that if I can't find a soul mate to accompany me for a lifetime, then it's not bad for me to just keep a few pets for the rest of my life."
"But he..."
Speaking of Luo Wei, Xu Juan hesitated again, as if the words came to her lips, but she couldn't speak them out.
"He went bankrupt a few years ago and divorced his wife," Yuan Shasha added.
Xu Juan smiled and nodded: "Of course I know, his wife, to be honest, I have long thought that she is not good enough."
"Luo Wei is a relatively traditional person. His business was booming back then, and there was never a shortage of Yingying and Yanyan around him, but he lived among thousands of flowers and never touched himself."
"Rejecting one temptation after another, he only has his wife in his heart, but what did he get in exchange? The company went bankrupt, he was heavily in debt, and his wife patted his butt and divorced."
"Leave all of this to Luo Wei. You know, many debts back then, including that of Luo Wei's company's vice president, were pocketed in various ways. In fact, his wife also had a share, but everyone knew it."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Juan flicked the cigarette ash in her hand, and said involuntarily: "But once he went bankrupt, Luo Wei would have nothing. If it weren't for my old lover, I would have paid off most of the bank's interest for him. , helped him stabilize his debts."
"I'm afraid he's already committed suicide by jumping off the building."
"So, you helped him fill in the huge debt he had back then?" Hearing what Xu Juan said, Gu Chen suddenly became interested.
Of course, Gu Chen wants to know everything about Luo Wei, including what he experienced back then.
But Xu Juan didn't seem to want to hide anything, and said bluntly:
"Of course, I was the one who helped him when he was at his worst and most helpless."
"I used my face in this area to help him stabilize many suppliers, which allowed him to go to Western Europe."
"I also gave him a sum of money as living expenses, but he was very competitive. At first, I thought that at this age, this man is still burdened with millions of debts. This must be the case in this life. He can hide if he can. Don't expect him to come back."
"To my surprise, Luo Wei not only returned to China, but also brought the accumulated funds he earned in Western Europe."
"Not only began to pay off debts one after another, but also started a seafood wholesale business, so every time he came back to Jiangnan City, I would go to find him, cheer him up, and silently support Luo Wei."
"You want to be with him?" Lu Weiwei also had some admiration for the woman in front of her after hearing Xu Juan's words.
But Xu Juan seemed to be very straightforward. When Lu Weiwei asked this question, she didn't bother to hide it, so she just nodded and admitted:
"That's right, I missed him back then. I never gave up on him when he was at his worst."
"Although I don't expect him to be able to stand up, I also hope that he will not be depressed in this life."
"But Luo Wei is a real man after all, and he will pay off his debts soon. At that time, I don't think there will be any pressure at all with him, and he will be willing to marry me..."
"he died."
When Xu Juan was smoking a lady's cigarette and enjoying the future with Luo Wei, Gu Chen's words were like a bolt from the blue.
Xu Juan's smile disappeared instantly, she looked at Gu Chen with incredible eyes, and then asked in a trembling voice:
"You... what did you say? Luo Wei, he... he, he, he died?"
"That's right." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and said soothingly, "He died this morning."
"Yes... fell into the sea?" Xu Juan's eyes filled with tears, and soon the tears fell uncontrollably.
Officer Wang shook his head: "He didn't die in the sea, but...he died in his own warehouse, which is our warehouse at No. 228 Chuangye Road."
"He's back?" Xu Juan's expression became agitated, and her body leaned forward obviously.
Yuan Shasha nodded silently: "Yes, he has been back for several days."
"Impossible." Hearing Yuan Shasha's remarks, Xu Juan waved her hand directly, and said with a wry smile:
"He will definitely call me as soon as he comes back. How come he didn't contact me for a few days after he came back? You must have made a mistake."
"Xu Juan, please accept the reality." Gu Chen didn't want to argue with her, so he took out his phone and clicked on the photo album.
Show her the photo of Luo Wei lying in the pile of salted fish: "This is how we found him in his warehouse. At that time, he was poisoned and died in his own warehouse."
"Woooo!"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Xu Juan burst into tears when she saw the photo of Luo Wei lying dead in the pile of salted fish on Gu Chen's mobile phone, covering her face with her left hand, heartbroken.
For a moment, the entire private room was filled with a sad atmosphere.
Xu Juan could no longer restrain the sadness in her heart, tears soon soaked the floor in front of her.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha looked at each other, and then, Lu Weiwei took out her tissue, handed one of them to her and said, "Wipe your tears."
"Woohoo!" Xu Juan took the tissue, wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and then put it on her nose to wipe the snot.
At this time, Xu Juan seemed to have lost the exquisite makeup just now.
Xu Juan's entire face is now covered in makeup and eyeliner.
On both sides of the corners of the eyes, there were also two black tears.
She looked at Gu Chen and said with a puzzled expression: "Comrade policeman, what do you think is going on? Luo Wei has already returned, why didn't he contact me?"
"This... I have to ask you this?" Gu Chen also looked helpless.
If I want to know this, do I still need to come and find her?
Lu Weiwei also hurriedly asked: "Could it be that you didn't find anything wrong with him the last time you contacted him?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Juan suddenly came to her senses after being reminded by Lu Weiwei.
Only then did he quickly stop crying, trying to recall the scene of the last contact.
At this time, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha didn't intend to disturb her, they just waited and watched Xu Juan's face change.
After about tens of seconds passed, Xu Juan said slowly:
"The last time I contacted him was when he was in Guangdong Province. At that time, he told me that he was about to pay off all his debts."
"I was happy for him at the time, but he seemed to say something to me again, but I was already so happy at that time, as if I didn't hear what he was saying clearly."
"Why didn't you hear clearly? You have to hear clearly." Seeing this key clue, Lu Weiwei seemed to be about to reveal it, but Xu Juan said that she didn't hear clearly, which inevitably made Lu Weiwei a little impatient.
Xu Juan was also in a hurry, and she said in a bad mood: "At that time, I patronized and kept celebrating him, and asked him to contact me as soon as possible after he came back."
"I also told him that when he comes back, let's go to a better restaurant, order his favorite dishes and let him pay for it."
"After all, these years, every time I treat guests, I pay, but because of Luo Wei's debts, I never care about him. I just hope that he will pay off the money as soon as possible, and live a debt-free life from now on. Life."
"He actually..."
Hearing Xu Juan say this, Gu Chen suddenly hesitated to speak.
Lu Weiwei knew very well that Gu Chen wanted to say that Luo Wei had indeed been to a mid-range restaurant and ordered a luxurious set meal for 4 people.
But Luo Wei did not choose to celebrate with Xu Juan, nor did he tell Xu Juan about his return.
Instead, I chose to be alone in the restaurant to celebrate paying off my debts.
And Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen were also present at the time, sharing happiness with Luo Wei.
Lu Weiwei still clearly remembered that that night seemed to be Luo Wei's happiest day, and he even drank a bottle of white wine for an unprecedented time.
You know, in these years of debt, Luo Wei even searched and searched to buy a bottle of mineral water, let alone drink.
But why not contact Xu Juan?
Xu Juan has paid so much for Luo Wei, logically speaking, Luo Wei should share happiness with Xu Juan immediately after paying off the debt, and celebrate with Xu Juan in the restaurant.
But Luo Wei did not do this.
All kinds of doubts made Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei look at each other.
The two also seemed to notice something unusual.
Heartbroken, Xu Juan hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What is he really? Comrade policeman, what do you want to say?"
Seeing Lu Weiwei silently nodding to himself, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said truthfully:
"On the day he actually paid off his debts, he came to a restaurant alone and ordered a luxury set meal for 4 people to eat alone."
"He told the waiter that he had just paid off his debt today and he wanted to celebrate by himself."
"When asked why he didn't share his joy with his relatives and friends? He told the waiter that since he went into debt, he has no relatives and friends."
"So, I've been blind for so many years?" Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Xu Juan was suddenly hit by a bolt from the blue, as if the whole world collapsed.
