I am a super cop

Chapter 2323 The Mysterious Boss
Looking at the small balcony that suddenly appeared, and the half-hanging iron stairs next to the small balcony, Gu Chen became curious at this moment.

Due to this structure, due to the internal location of the house, it is difficult for others to see it from the outside of the building.

But this is the place where Lu Xiaofeng and the fox traded. If you don't investigate this place clearly, Gu Chen feels that something will go wrong.

So, after a brief observation, Gu Chen quickly grabbed the corners of the iron ladder with both hands, and began to climb towards the roof at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, Gu Chen came to the roof of the old building.

Due to the fact that this building has only five floors, the first and second floors are the business area of ​​the coffee shop, while the other areas on the top of the building seem to be controlled family housing.

But this external iron ladder leads directly to the roof.

Gu Chen felt very curious. It seemed that it was completely unnecessary to install such an iron ladder on the outer wall.

And the safety is not guaranteed, as long as the hand slips, it will directly fall from the tall building.

This reminded Gu Chen of the exterior walls of some large factories. Outside those super-large factories, there will also be some external stairs, which are used to climb the top floors of large factories.

It's exactly the same as the design here.

If you want to say that this is a residential area, it seems that there are not many residents upstairs. Moreover, the exterior wall staircase is perfectly installed to avoid all windows.

Obviously, this staircase is not prepared for residents to escape from the fire.

When Gu Chen climbed to the top of the building, his field of vision suddenly became wider.

Gu Chen discovered that the space on the roof here is very narrow, but there is a big tree that grows wildly against a spot on the roof.

The branches of the big tree almost covered most of the entire roof area.

Hesitantly afraid that if he stayed upstairs for too long, he might attract the attention of the coffee shop clerk, so Gu Chen didn't dare to slack off, and quickly ran towards the big tree along the narrow roof space.

When Gu Chen came to the big tree, he found that under the big tree, someone seemed to have deliberately installed a safety rope, and along the direction of the rope, Gu Chen found that the rope directly extended to the window sill of another building.

"Is there no one living here?" Gu Chen stood on the roof, overlooking the area where the ropes reached.

Since the windows were open and there was a lot of dust, it was a clear sign that no one lived there.

And between these two buildings, there is a wide street.

But since this area is covered by the branches of big trees, if you glide from the top of the building to the opposite window, it is obviously a good means of escape.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I have found the other party's escape method. It turned out that I wanted to use this rope on the roof to slide to the opposite building, and then escape."

With a light sigh, Gu Chen shook his head helplessly: "It seems that this old fox is really cunning."

"Buzz!"

Just as Gu Chen was thinking, the phone vibrated suddenly. Gu Chen knew that this was Lu Weiwei's reminder. Obviously, he had stayed on the roof long enough.

Gu Chen didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly took out his phone and took a picture of the opposite location.

Only then did he run towards the iron ladder at a flying speed.

Since Gu Chen is good at climbing, he crawled with ease, and soon jumped to the balcony on the second floor.

Afterwards, Gu Chen quickly walked towards the passage in the direction of the stairs.

When Gu Chen came to the stairs, he stopped quickly, tried to take a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and then walked unhurriedly towards the first floor.

When the middle-aged waiter saw him, he reminded him, "Don't mess with the things upstairs."

"I know, I just took a few random photos, and the location feels like that." Gu Chen, wearing a baseball cap and mask, said.

Then he walked to Lu Weiwei's side.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei also just bought coffee for the two of them, so she quickly walked to the outer area with Gu Chen.

"Here, here." Seeing that there was still an empty corner, Lu Weiwei hurriedly dragged Gu Chen over there.

As soon as I sat down, the customers on the other side also hurried over here.

But it was a step late, so several customers turned back again, and after thinking twice, they chose to pack up and leave.

"Junior Brother Gu, did you find anything?" Lu Weiwei asked casually while drinking coffee leisurely.

Without moving his body, Gu Chen used the cover of the brim of his baseball cap to quickly look around and find no suspicious person before taking out his phone.

Pretend to share with Lu Weiwei the photos I took upstairs just now: "Look here."

"What is this?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and hurried closer.

After a while, Lu Weiwei was dumbfounded, and looked at Gu Chen in disbelief, and whispered, "Why is there a rope here?"

"This is the cleverness of foxes." While speaking, Gu Chen also picked up his own coffee, took a sip slowly, and said:

"The design and structure of the coffee house here is very strange. An external iron ladder is specially made to climb the roof."

"But the roof is a conical structure, high in the middle and low on both sides, so it's hard to use it at all."

"If you want to say that the roof is flat, you may be able to dry things on the roof, but it's completely impossible here."

"Yeah, this kind of triangular conical roof is really difficult to use, or in other words, it has no use value at all."

After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized: "I know, the purpose of designing this external iron ladder is to send people to the top of the building."

"As for the location on the roof, although there is no use value, that big tree can build a bridge."

"It's the bridge that slides from the roof to the window of the opposite building. It happens to be one high and one low, isn't that right?"

As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also nodded and said, "That's right, judging from the current situation, it is indeed the case."

"The only function of this iron ladder is to send people up to the roof, and then slide to the opposite window."

"But, who would go to so much trouble to leave this way for themselves?"

"It's a fox." Lu Weiwei flicked her fingers, quickly looked around again, and then whispered to Gu Chen's right ear:
"I guess the design genius is the fox, because it can jump out of the encirclement."

"Even though we were besieged downstairs, he found an abnormality. He could quickly get to the top of the building through the iron ladder, and then use the rope to escape to the opposite building."

"In this way, we will definitely miss the ground below, so..."

After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei also said cautiously: "So, the design of this place is a fox, and this is a coffee house, so to sum it up, maybe the fox is the owner of this coffee house."

"That's right, the two of us want to go together." Listening to Lu Weiwei's analysis, it was exactly the same as what I guessed.

Gu Chen crossed his hands and said carefully, "What we have to do now is to investigate the owner of this coffee shop."

"Then, I have to check on the opposite building floor to see the vacant room. What's the situation?"

"Well, to investigate the coffee shop, I feel that we should look for the nearby businesses. These businesses basically know everything." Lu Weiwei looked at some nearby snack bars, and said casually.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and echoed, "It's a good idea, then let's go now."

"Leave now? Haven't you finished your coffee yet?" Lu Weiwei felt that it was a waste of energy to wait in line for so long just to drink a few sips of coffee.

Gu Chen didn't waste it, he drank the coffee in one gulp, and said, "You can go now."

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen like this, Lu Weiwei could only finish her coffee, and then followed Gu Chen to the snack bar in the opposite block.

What Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to was a shop that bought specialty snacks.

Many of the candies here look quite unique and belong to the kind bought by the catty.

So Gu Chen pretended to choose food, and secretly glanced at a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was teasing his precious daughter at the moment. Since he was still in the crib, it was obvious that the shop could take good care of him, as long as he took his daughter with him.

So Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "Boss, how much is this?"

"Which one?" Hearing someone asking the price, the middle-aged man who was teasing his daughter just now stood up quickly and came to the shop:
"Oh, it's 12 yuan a catty."

"What about this." Lu Weiwei went to another area.

"This is 16 yuan. If you buy two catties, it will be 30 yuan for you. Would you like some? It's delicious."

While the middle-aged man was talking, he took off a packaging bag, obviously urging consumption.

Generally speaking, when encountering this situation, customers will naturally buy some.

Of course, this is also a consumption habit. If you don't buy at the moment and the other party puts down the packaging bag, the customer may be the one who is embarrassed.

Therefore, in this case, customers will buy more or less.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and said with some resistance: "It's too expensive."

"It's not expensive. This thing sells for 19 yuan a catty in the mall. I've seen it all."

"Our small business here, 16 yuan a catty, is already very cheap."

"And if you buy two catties, I'll give you 30 yuan. If you convert it, it's only 15 yuan per catty. It's really a bargain."

In order to encourage Lu Weiwei to make purchases, the middle-aged man picked up a small bite with tweezers and handed it to Lu Weiwei, saying:

"Beauty, take a bite and see, it's absolutely delicious, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it if it's not good."

When Lu Weiwei saw the delicious food brought to her mouth, she would not eat it for nothing, so she caught it with her hand and took a small bite.

"How?" The middle-aged man looked at Lu Weiwei and asked expectantly.

"Yeah." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Boss, this food from your house is really delicious."

"I didn't expect to find such delicious food in this kind of place. It seems that the dim sum I ate before was really a failure."

"Haha, I'll just say it's delicious. The dim sum I sell here is said to be delicious by the neighbors. You can just ask around and you'll know."

Seeing that Lu Weiwei seemed quite satisfied with his food, the man immediately gained confidence, quickly fetched the bag, and continued to ask: "Then...how about some?"

"Then have some." Before Lu Weiwei could speak, Gu Chen answered.

"Hey, how much do you want?" The middle-aged man picked up some snacks and put them in the bag.

Gu Chen casually said, "Just buy two catties."

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen speak, the man immediately started packing for the two of them.

While the middle-aged man was making snacks, Gu Chen glanced at the Fangfang Cafe behind him, and asked the middle-aged man curiously:

"Boss, the owner of that coffee shop is called Fang Fang? It seems that the business is very good, and the queue will take a long time."

Hearing what Gu Chen said, the middle-aged man also looked up, and then said, "Which store are you talking about? That store is an online celebrity store."

"The boss is indeed a beautiful woman with great temperament, her name is Fangfang, but I don't know the exact name."

"Anyway, it's quite tasteful."

"Then doesn't she usually stay in the store?" Lu Weiwei continued to ask after hearing this.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I'm not sure about this, anyway, I rarely see it."

"However, when it opened, I came here often. I have seen her a few times. She also bought dim sum in my store."

"Then what does this person look like?" Hearing what the boss said, Lu Weiwei continued to ask.

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "How can I describe this? Anyway, he's tall and thin, and the clothes he's wearing look quite expensive."

"She smells good, probably because she wears very expensive perfume, and her voice is very gentle."

"Anyway, it feels like a big star to me."

"Big star?" Listening to the boss's narration, Lu Weiwei couldn't help looking at Gu Chen.

You know, there are big problems with the structure of this coffee shop, but if the shop owner is a woman, it seems a little unreasonable.

So Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Then there is only one proprietress in this coffee shop? No boss?"

"Uh... this..." It seemed that he was also asked. The middle-aged man thought for a moment, put the wrapped snacks on the electronic scale, and said in retrospect:
"How do you say this? Anyway, when I usually see that woman, I come here alone."

"Besides, her store has only been open for less than a year. Mine is a time-honored store. When she was renovating, I didn't see any man accompany her here."

"It seems that this woman is doing everything by herself, including when the business opened, it seems that there are some women who come here, and they are all kind of rich."

"Is that so? A female boss? Could it be that she's really single?" Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Lu Weiwei felt more and more that something was wrong with this female boss, Fang Fang.

You know, if Fangfang is the fox who Lu Xiaofeng said, it would be a bit scary.

But so far, we have no concrete evidence.

Gu Chen only found a suspicious rope on the top of the building.

So is Fangfang a fox?Gu Chen feels that further investigation is needed.

"Here, it's exactly two catties. I'll give you a little more." The boss who weighed the dim sum said, and then put a few pieces into the bag.
