Chapter 1896 The Fortune Teller
"Haha." Hearing Gu Chen's words, the old fortune-teller laughed dryly, then stretched out his hand and said, "Young man, it's okay to say."

Gu Chen didn't bother, and directly clicked on the phone's photo album, showed Wan Xiaomin's monitoring screenshot in front of the old man, and asked:

"This woman is the proprietress of the 'Hamster House' in Sanyuan Lane. She disappeared last night and hasn't returned until now."

"I want to ask you, did you see her before 6:50 last night?"

"Haha." Hearing what Gu Chen said, the old man continued to laugh twice, and then he habitually touched his long white beard, then opened his gossip map, picked up the bamboo stick, as if to give Gu Chen Count the meaning of a hexagram.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked him, "Master, what are we asking you?"

As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, the old fortune-teller became serious.

It's a mess in front of everyone, but how does it work?Everyone can't understand it.

Seeing the hanging sign falling, the uncle hesitated immediately.

He looked up at the sky, and then began to count with his fingers. After a long time, he looked at Gu Chen and said:
"The woman you are looking for stayed in the southeast for a long time before 6:50 last night."

"Southeast direction?" Hearing what the fortune teller said, Lu Yuan also hurriedly searched for the specific direction, and after confirming that it was a small alley in Sanyuan Lane, he asked again:

"Then do you know if she's safe now?"

Lu Yuan seemed to be overly nervous, and began to believe in the old man's hexagrams.

Based on the characteristics of preferring to believe what is there, not to believe what is not, Lu Yuan is now in a panic.

As long as Wan Xiaomin can be found, he is going to fight now.

But the fortune-teller opened his eyes again after counting with his fingers, and said: "Everything is fate, and you can't help it at all. When it comes, iron turns into gold, and when it goes away, gold turns into iron."

"What do you mean?" Lu Weiwei was a little dazed, feeling that the old man had said everything, but he didn't seem to say anything.

It's purely talking nonsense with your eyes open, talking about a pair of twisted things, so that you think he is very powerful.

But Lu Yuan couldn't wait any longer. After the old man said this, he hurriedly prepared to search for the trail in the southeast direction.

But just as Lu Yuan left, the fortune-teller reminded him again: "Young man, haven't you paid me yet?"

"How much do you want?" Lu Yuan exclaimed.

"Fifty at a time." The fortune teller stretched out five fingers.

Before Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei could react, Lu Yuan immediately took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code in front of him to pay, then called Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and continued to search for the small road in the southeast direction.

"I said Lu Yuan, do you really believe what this old fortune teller said?" Lu Weiwei felt that this was ridiculous.

An old fortune-teller said a few words casually and earned you 50 yuan in blood. Isn't this money too easy to come by?
Lu Yuan said as he walked, "Although I don't know if it's true, but this old fortune-teller is quite capable. In Sanyuan Lane, everyone feels that he is very accurate."

"He said it's in the southeast direction, so it must be this road. Whether it's true or not, you have to try your luck, right?"

Lu Yuan is really in a hurry now, Wan Xiaomin's disappearance has already made him panic.

No matter who it is, as long as he can find clues about Wan Xiaomin, he will do whatever it takes now.

Following behind Lu Yuan, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but glanced at Gu Chen, and asked him with a smile: "Junior Brother Gu, do you believe it too?"

"I don't believe it." Gu Chen said.

"Then why didn't you speak just now?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Perhaps this fortune teller, he really saw Wan Xiaomin coming out from that direction before 6:50 last night."

"It's just that he used fortune-telling as a cover to inform us of this situation. So, in the final analysis, he just wants to earn some information fees."

"Really?" Lu Weiwei didn't know how to evaluate this old fortune-teller, so she felt terrified.

Gu Chen also said while walking: "Nowadays, there are many kinds of fortune-telling booths on the street, such as fortune-telling, forecasting, naming, and horoscopes, etc. It seems that everyone can tell fortunes, but they don't."

"I think so too." Lu Weiwei trusted Gu Chen more.

Gu Chen also echoed, "Actually, we often see people at the fortune-telling stalls have one or several books. In fact, they just copy theories. There are many books like this."

"But there are good and bad, and there are more bad ones. The truth is that... There are many websites that can tell fortunes. You only need to enter your name, birthday, etc. to calculate.

"And this kind of books are usually written in the same way. For example, to ask for something, first look at the person, what to ask, what to say, etc., according to the person's response, or through the questions asked in the book. .”

"In the end, I got the answer, and this answer is also in the book. This is the formula."

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "For example, if I want to calculate something, I find the formula for calculating it from the book, and then collect the answer through the questions in the book."

"Then you can get what you want through the collected answers, and then correspond to the answers in the books."

After thinking about it, Gu Chen also thought about it and said: "Just like the fortune-telling booth just now, his face, palmistry, horoscope, etc. are all the same. The accuracy rate can only stay between 30%."

"And there is a certain degree of accuracy in applying it in this way. In fact, it is easy to expose it. Try to surprise him and let him avoid books, and you will find that he will only gossip at this time."

"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also nodded and agreed: "In the final analysis, a real master of fortune-telling will not do calculations lightly. There has never been a shortage of masters of Yishu in ancient times, but they have always been the same as ordinary people. .”

"For example, do they know their fate? In fact, they don't know. Even if they figure it out, it will change. For example, if I ask him, what will happen to him next? He must not know that I am going to slap him. This is very It's easy to crack."

"Senior Sister Lu, you're getting skinny again." Seeing that Lu Weiwei's thinking was novel, Gu Chen also echoed:
"This method is not impossible. The master never gives himself calculations, and Crouching Dragon Zhuge can only say: Knowing the destiny, it is difficult against the sky."

"To be precise, I am more willing to believe that the fortune teller just now observed that Wan Xiaomin came back from the southeast trail."

"As for his little poem, everything is fate, and it can't be controlled at all. Sometimes iron turns into gold, and when it is transported away, gold turns into iron. I feel that this is a magic formula."

"Yes, and he just said 'haha'." Lu Weiwei thought for a few seconds, and couldn't help complaining:

"For example, before talking to others, you should smirk 'haha' or 'hey', obviously to let the other party know that your brain is not working well, so that no matter what idiotic things you do, the other party will understand. "

Gu Chen: "..."

I feel that Lu Weiwei's association is very interesting.

Several people also moved forward all the way, and finally came to the end of the path.

This is a ruined building after demolition, surrounded by iron clapboards, it looks very desolate.

Gu Chen looked around and found that there were many unfinished buildings around.

Cigarette butts are everywhere on the ground, and there are even some cat and dog feces in the surrounding weed piles.

Overall, standing here, it stinks.

Since it is a ruin plot, it is dilapidated.

"Why did Wan Xiaomin come here?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled and muttered to himself.

"Maybe it's what your brother Gu said, Wan Xiaomin locked the store door and came here last night, maybe he really came to meet someone and talk about something." Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen glanced at Lu Yuan, and asked again: "Lu Yuan, is there really nothing unusual about your lover Wan Xiaomin recently?"

"This one……"

Lu Yuan is a little confused now, his wife disappeared suddenly, and now there are so many situations, Lu Yuan doesn't know, he is just an ordinary commoner, why would he be involved in this kind of thing?
After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Yuan also said thoughtfully: "Is there anything unusual about my wife recently? There are some."

"What are the details? Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement recorder at Lu Yuan, and also took out the notebook to ask.

"Just...Xiao Min has been absent-minded recently, and often forgets things. She used to have a good memory, and I don't know. Why is it like this all of a sudden?"

"Can you be more specific?" Hearing what Lu Yuan said, Gu Chen felt that it was still too general.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, and then said again: "Just... the cats in the store, she used to feed them twice a day, but recently, she seems to be a little forgetful, or absent-minded, and often only feeds cat food once a day .”

"The same goes for those hamsters, which made meowing everywhere in the hamster house. I was afraid that after these cats were hungry, they would really plan on those hamsters in the cages."

"En." After Gu Chen put down the notebook and thought for a while, he continued to record these things and said:

"This can be simply understood as forgetfulness. It wasn't before, but now it is. Perhaps, there is indeed something hidden in my heart."

After thinking for a while, Gu Chen asked again: "Has Xiaomin had any financial problems recently? Usually this kind of anxious forgetfulness is usually caused by lack of money."

"No way?" Lu Yuan scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully, "Xiao Min opened this pet shop in Sanyuan Lane, and the income is actually not bad."

"Because the previous store sold pets, and I took over from the owner of the pet store, and this 'Hamster House' now exists."

"But in fact, because the pet shop has existed in Sanyuan Lane for a long time, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it."

"Not only that, hasn't Xiao Min adopted 20 cats one after another in the past two months? That's why he was given the nickname: Sanyuan Lane Catcher."

"With this nickname, in fact, we still use this fame to make a small fortune."

"That is to say, you are making more money than before by taking advantage of the reputation of adopting 20 stray cats and being the 'Sanyuan Lane Catcher'. There is no such thing as adopting these cats, so it is a little difficult to make ends meet, right?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "That's right, although every time we complain to the outside world, saying that we have adopted so many stray cats, it is a heavy burden, so we ask everyone not to send cats here."

"But in fact, Xiao Min also took care of the live broadcast while running this physical store."

"Selling hamsters on the live broadcast alone has already earned a lot of income, and Xiaomin will also bring goods during the live broadcast. After a live broadcast, sometimes the income can even cover half a month's turnover."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuan said again: "So, the economic problems you mentioned made Xiao Min a little forgetful. I don't think it should be."

Hearing Lu Yuan's narration, Gu Chen also nodded silently, and then said: "Since it is not an economic problem that caused Xiao Min to appear abnormal, it must be due to other reasons."

"But why did Xiao Min insist on going to the family area of ​​the Xicheng Chemical Plant? What is her purpose for going there?"

"Or, did Xiao Min really go there to meet people? If Xiao Min left the store last night and went outside..."

In the middle of speaking, Gu Chen glanced at the surrounding environment, and then said: "In other words, if you go here, you must come here to solve a certain problem, not go out to eat."

"If you came here to meet someone, then maybe there must be some clues left around."

Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly had a new idea.

And Lu Weiwei seemed to be aware of it, so she quickly asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, you mean, there might be that mysterious person who met Wan Xiaomin around, right?"

"Yes." Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and then said again: "If it is said that Wan Xiaomin left quietly and came to this place, it is unlikely that she must have come to see someone .”

"Also, go to the family area of ​​the Xicheng Chemical Plant at night. We have also been to that place, and the surrounding area is very desolate."

"If you go shopping in broad daylight, you can still find some old-fashioned scenery."

"But go at night, it's pitch black, what memories do you have?"

"If I were Wan Xiaomin and I met my old classmate Hu Ming again, I would definitely choose to ask Hu Ming to go to the family area of ​​Xicheng Chemical Plant during the day instead of at night."

"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also agreed:
"If it were me, I would definitely make the same decision. At night, how about a view of wool? It's all pitch black, and there are so few street lights on."

Speaking of this, what did Lu Weiwei suddenly think of?Quickly said again: "Eh? Wan Xiaomin is missing now, and the explanations we have heard now are all Hu Ming's one-sided words."

"Although it is said that Hu Ming took the first taxi to leave, Wan Xiaomin returned to the family area of ​​the Xicheng Chemical Plant afterward, which was also seen by eyewitnesses."

"But the one who asked Wan Xiaomin to go to this family area at night may not necessarily be Wan Xiaomin's opinion, it may also be Hu Ming's opinion."

"That's right." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Lu Yuan was immediately excited, and quickly echoed:

"Officer Lu is right. Xiao Min is missing now, and the person who met Xiao Min last is Hu Ming."

"Hu Ming said that Xiao Min asked him to go to the family area of ​​the Chengxi Chemical Factory at night, but he also refused to go to other places."

"This seems unreasonable at all. It might be Hu Ming who suggested it, not Xiao Min. Anyway, Xiao Min is nowhere to be found now. How can it be Hu Ming?"

"That's right." Faced with Lu Yuan's explanation, Gu Chen also kept these in mind, and said involuntarily:
"What you just said is all possible, but it involves Hu Ming's situation."

Looking up at Lu Yuan, Gu Chen said again: "To tell you the truth, Hu Ming came to Jiangnan City from Magic City this time, and gathering with old friends is one aspect."

"Another aspect is...he is actually here on a business trip."

"Business trip?" Lu Yuan was a little puzzled, and quickly asked again: "Officer Gu, what kind of business is Hu Ming here for?"

"Debt."

Here, before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei explained in advance: "We asked Hu Ming and found out from Hu Ming's belongings that he did bring some contract documents from the company to Jiangnan City to pursue the debt owed by the client. payment."

"And the amount is not small, and we have checked the copies of various documents in detail and confirmed that they are correct."

"Is that so?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Lu Yuan also nodded slightly, and said softly:
"But if this is the case, does it mean that Xiao Min's disappearance has nothing to do with him at all? Oh, how should I understand this?"

Lu Yuan seemed to be caught in the vortex between Wan Xiaomin and Hu Ming, a little at a loss.

Gu Chen reminded, "If Hu Ming came to Jiangnan City this time, he was indeed on a business trip to ask for debts, and by the way, come get together with your old friends."

"Then I think it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to invite Wan Xiaomin to the family area of ​​the Xicheng Chemical Plant at night."

"But, maybe he knows something? Or, what did Wan Xiaomin tell him when he was wandering around? It's just that it's not impossible for Hu Ming to hide all this."

With a faint sigh, Gu Chen said helplessly, "I don't know now, which ones are the truths Hu Ming said? Which ones are the lies Hu Ming said?"

"Officer Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen was feeling melancholy, Lu Yuan continued to ask him, "Then is there any other way to find my Xiao Min?"

"Yes." Gu Chen replied very positively, and said, "That's what I discussed with Senior Sister Lu just now. Although we can't investigate Wan Xiaomin's recent whereabouts, we can investigate other suspicious people."

"The people who came to Sanyuan Lane before 6:50 last night also went to the family area of ​​Chengxi Chemical Factory at night."

"As long as these two conditions are met, I guess it should be possible to identify the people who finally had contact with Wan Xiaomin."

"So, where are we now?" Lu Yuan was also dizzy now, feeling that he had no choice but to rely on the police.

Gu Chen also comforted and said: "Don't worry, we'll go back now. After that, we will strengthen the monitoring and investigation near Sanyuan Lane, and if we find suspicious persons appearing in Sanyuan Lane and the family area of ​​Chengxi Chemical Factory at the same time, we will immediately Monitor it, please rest assured."

"Okay, okay, I trust you, the police." Lu Yuan held Gu Chen's hand, feeling a lot more at ease in his heart.

Afterwards, the three of them checked the surrounding ruins and found not too many suspicious points, so they turned back again.

After Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei asked Lu Yuan to return to the hamster house first, they drove to leave here.

But when the vehicle was driving at a traffic light intersection, Gu Chen was attracted by a lottery shop on the right.

Lu Weiwei also noticed the difference in Gu Chen's gaze, so she hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?"

"Senior Sister Lu, do you think that old man who bought lottery tickets in the store looks like the fortune teller in Sanyuan Lane?" Gu Chen said.
