I am a super cop

Chapter 2628 Summer Job

According to the plan, everyone drove to the intersection of Huya Village.

In the middle of the road leading from the main road to Huya Village, there is a huge landscape stone with the words "Huya Village" written on it.

It can also be seen that this village on the outskirts of the city is relatively wealthy, and almost every household lives in a high-end Western-style building.

However, many landlords rent out the small Western-style buildings here to outsiders to set up factories, and the locals can live a comfortable life just by collecting the rent.

When Gu Chen and his companions parked the car at a square at the entrance of Huya Village, they could already hear various "whoosh" sounds coming from Huya Village.

It seems to be the sound of some machines running.

"Look at this garbage." Officer Wang pointed to a garbage station at the entrance of the village and exclaimed in amazement:

"They are all pieces of cloth. It seems that a lot of clothes are produced here."

"Didn't Senior Brother Gu say that this place is full of clothing workshops?" Yuan Shasha quickly agreed.

Gao Hu and He Qian looked at each other and neither of them said anything. They could only follow everyone.

Since Huya Village is quite large, everyone prepared to investigate separately and began to inquire in every street and alley.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were in a group, walking in the middle of the road, with various machines on both sides roaring continuously.

Since these unloading equipments are large in size, most of them are placed on the first floor of the building.

On the second floor there are some workers operating sewing machines, doing various jobs, so the intermittent noise of the sewing machines can be heard from time to time.

"Excuse me, have you seen this woman?" Gu Chen took the printed color photo in his hand and asked a worker who was cutting materials.

The worker squinted his eyes, examined it carefully, and then shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

"Is the upstairs the workshop?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"It's the worker at the sewing machine." said another worker who was stacking materials.

"Okay, thank you." Lu Weiwei thanked him and didn't think too much about it. She followed Gu Chen to the second floor.

At this moment, every corner of the second floor is filled with children's clothing of various styles.

Many of the cut fabrics were piled up in plastic frames.

Every worker operating a sewing machine has several plastic baskets around him.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and while they were working, they were also playing music, making the entire work site very noisy.

Gu Chen walked up to a manager again and took out the photo: "Excuse me, have you seen this person?"

"No."

"Has any of your workers seen it?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"I don't know, you can go ask yourself." The manager was also busy with his work and said casually.

So Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei immediately walked into the workshop and started asking questions one by one.

However, after a round, there was no gain.

So Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had to go to other places to inquire again.

Just like that, when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walked across the street together, everyone here said that they had never seen Xu Yaxuan.

The two of them came to the door of a store. Gu Chen directly took out two bottles of water from the shelf and walked to the cashier: "Boss, two bottles of water."

"Two dollars." The boss was a middle-aged man who was lying on a chair inside the cash register, leisurely scrolling through the pictures of various young ladies dancing on his phone.

So Gu Chen asked again: "Excuse me, have you seen this person?"

Seeing Gu Chen asking, the boss just glanced at it casually, then immediately turned around and replied: "I haven't seen it."

But just as he finished speaking, the boss seemed to remember something, so he quickly turned his head and looked: "Hey, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked.

"It seems... I have some impression." The boss also seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly came over and asked, "Has she ever come to your place to buy something?"

"Uh... let me think about it." The color photo in Gu Chen's hand seemed to trigger a certain memory package of the boss, so the boss began to recall again.

After a long while, the boss slowly said, "I think I've seen this person before. She seemed to have come to my store to buy daily necessities."

Seeing that the boss seemed to have seen Xu Yaxuan, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other and were both delighted.

So Lu Weiwei pointed to the surveillance camera in the corner of the store and said, "Is the surveillance camera in this place useful?"

"Have."

"Then show it to us quickly." Lu Weiwei also reminded.

"Okay." Seeing that Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen were both wearing police uniforms, the store owner did not dare to offend them, so he quickly sat up and started searching on the computer.

Seeing this, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also went around to the boss's cash register and stood behind him to check together.

"This is the person. Do you think he looks like him?" After some work, the shop owner quickly found relevant clues and turned to look at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei immediately looked down.

In the surveillance footage, a woman who looks like a schoolgirl came to the store to buy daily necessities.

  Gu Chen discovered that the woman was buying some toiletries, and immediately asked the boss:

"Do you know who she is?"

"Uh..." The boss hesitated for a moment and said slowly:

"I guess she's here to work during the summer vacation, right? After all, isn't the college entrance examination over now?"

"Anyway, at this time of year, we always have some students from other places who have just finished the college entrance examination. They come here to work during the summer vacation to earn some living expenses."

"Because there are many clothing workshops here, and they all pay piece-rate wages, so I think she should also be a summer intern here."

"Haven't you seen her before?" Gu Chen asked.

  "I've never seen it before." The shop owner shook his head and continued:

"She only came to buy things from me twice. Once she came to buy water and she also bought some snacks."

"This was her second time buying these daily necessities. Both purchases were on the same day, one at noon and one at night."

After the voice fell, the boss adjusted the monitoring position again and said:

"This is her coming here to buy daily necessities at night."

"Can the surveillance camera at the door see which way she goes?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Wait a moment." Without saying anything, the boss immediately checked the surveillance camera at the door.

At this moment, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei realized that the woman was leaving to the right.

Moreover, the woman's appearance was extremely similar to Xu Yaxuan in the photo in his hand.

Moreover, the time when Xu Yaxuan came here to buy daily necessities was the second day after he arrived in Jiangnan City.

It can be seen that Xu Yaxuan has friends or relatives here, and she may be temporarily staying in this area.

"That's all we can see." The boss stared at the screen for a long time. When he saw the woman walk into the alley, he looked up at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

"Thank you." Seeing that Xu Yaxuan had left in a general direction, the two hurriedly followed the direction. When they arrived at the intersection of the alley, they also went in.

The alley is not wide, and can only accommodate two electric vehicles at the same time.

There was water dripping on both sides of the top of the head, where many residents were hanging their clothes to dry.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei passed quickly and came to a more spacious area.

There are some houses and buildings around here.

Starting from this spacious open space, there are several alleys leading in different directions.

Therefore, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had no idea where Xu Yaxuan had gone.

"Let's look for it." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he immediately walked towards a building.

This is a half-open rolling shutter door, and there seems to be someone inside.

Gu Chen simply raised the rolling shutter door a little and then came to the inside of the house.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was lying on a piece of clothing fabric.

I saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei suddenly come in, and I saw that they were both wearing police uniforms.

So he quickly sat up from the cloth and walked towards Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

"Excuse me, have you seen this person?" Gu Chen showed the color photo again.

The man narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

"Are you from here?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"No, I'm not from here. I work here. I'm cutting materials and I'm waiting for them." said the middle-aged man.

"Then there are several alleys in front of the open space at the entrance. Where do they lead to? Where are the rental houses here?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"There are rental houses everywhere. All the people living here are workers. They usually work in the workshops outside and have fixed rooms for accommodation."

"Generally, those who provide rental housing will not provide production, so the landlords here usually rent out the entire house for use as clothing factory production, such as our small factory."

“Some landlords only provide rental houses for accommodation, such as the ones at the back.”

"That means this woman doesn't work here?" Lu Weiwei asked him again to confirm.

But the man still shook his head like a rattle and denied it, saying, "No, I haven't seen it."

"She has just been here not long ago." Gu Chen reminded.

"I haven't seen that either. Anyway, it's definitely not from our factory." The man said affirmatively.

"Okay, thank you." Feeling that he couldn't ask too many questions from the man, Gu Chen didn't want to waste too much time, so he and Lu Weiwei went through the passage again.

The two of them moved back and forth in the alley, asking various questions.

Finally walked out of the alley and onto the road.

The road here immediately became wide, with some production factories on both sides.

There were a lot of cloth piled up at the door and quite a few tricycles parked there.

  At this time, a white-haired old lady was walking slowly uphill from the downhill section, carrying the vegetables she bought. Gu Chen stopped her and asked, also with an attitude of trying his luck:

"Auntie, have you seen this man?"

Gu Chen showed Xu Yaxuan's color photo again.

The old lady squinted her eyes and nodded slowly: "I have seen it."

  "Have you seen her?" Seeing such a coincidence, Lu Weiwei quickly asked:

"Do you know where she is?"

"I know. She rents a house in my house." The aunt answered calmly.

But at this moment, Lu Weiwei was anxious, and she quickly asked again: "Then can you take us to find her?"

"Then come with me."

"Auntie, let us help you get the food in your hand."

"Oh, no need, it's not far."

"Give it here, I'll help you." Although the aunt refused, Gu Chen still snatched the plastic bag from the aunt's hand and got the vegetables for her.

The three of them walked forward together, and the old lady turned right at an intersection.

Then he took out his key, opened the side door in the alley, and waved to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: "Come in."

"Is this a rental house?" Lu Weiwei asked.

  "Yes." The old lady nodded silently and said:

"My house is not on the roadside, so those owners of clothing workshops will not rent it. But I can rent rooms in my house to workers who come here to work."

"Then do you know what this person does?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.

The old lady also looked puzzled. She turned her head to look at Lu Weiwei and said, "Don't you know?"

"I don't know. We are here to find her. We have something important to ask her about." Lu Weiwei said.

"Oh." The old lady said "Oh" and then said:

"She might be here to work during the summer vacation. Generally speaking, at this time of year, there are quite a few people who come here to look for piece-rate work."

"You can earn tens of thousands of yuan in one summer vacation. For students who come here to work part-time during the summer vacation, that's a lot of money."

"But this girl may be living with her friends, so she hasn't applied for a temporary residence permit yet."

"I don't know how long she will stay here."

"Hasn't she found a job yet?" Gu Chen followed the old lady and walked upstairs with her.

The old lady shook her head. "Maybe she hasn't found a suitable job yet? She lives with another girl who is about the same age."

"And this girl is also from out of town, living alone. She should be working nearby, right?"

"The girl you're looking for just arrived, so she may not have found a job yet."

"Besides, she's just a student and she can't learn any skills."

As she finished speaking, the old lady had already arrived at the door of a room on the third floor and knocked on the door with her hand: "Is anyone there? Knock knock knock, is anyone there?"

After knocking several times in a row, the old lady put her ear to the door again, then shook her head at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: "He must have gone out. He is not in the room now."

"Okay." Seeing that there was no one in the room at the moment, Gu Chen nodded silently and asked the old lady:

"Auntie, when will this girl come back?"

  "This... I don't know." The old lady shook her head and said:

"These people come back at irregular times, and some have to work overtime until very late. But here, the outer door is closed at 10 p.m."

"If they get off work too late, they will knock on the door. I live on the first floor and will get up to open the door for them."

"So how many outsiders live here?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.

"Uh... there should be more than ten people, right? 13 people, oh no, one more moved out yesterday, so there should be 12 people now, including that girl." said the old lady.
