I am a super cop

Chapter 2790: Bad Habits of the Rich Second Generation
Inside the office.

Gu Chen felt that this person specifically wanted the old man to hand over the old sheepskin map to him, so he must have his own considerations.

In addition, the man's current condition seemed to be life-threatening, so he had no choice but to hand over the life-saving item to the old man.

Gu Chen felt that the reason why the young man gave the thing to him was that perhaps he knew him in advance, so he chose to take a gamble.

But since the other party has handed the thing to me, why doesn’t he tell me where this old sheepskin map is?
Obviously, this was the man's intention, he wanted me to investigate.

Gu Chen seemed to slowly understand the man's good intentions, and it seemed that he had no choice. He felt that he was afraid that something might go wrong along the way, so he gave it to him and didn't tell him the location, also because he was afraid that something might go wrong along the way.

"Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, Xiao Yuan, please come with me."

"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, several people agreed in unison.

Gu Chen glanced at Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong again and said, "Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, please see this old man off."

"it is good."

Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong also stood up and agreed.

Afterwards, Gu Chen asked He Junchao to continue investigating the man's situation.

After arranging everything, he took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha and drove to East Lake Park.

……

……

An hour later, Gu Chen parked the car in a public parking lot in Donghu Park. After everyone got off the car, they went directly to the lakeside of the park.

Officer Wang pointed to the other side of the lake and said, "Do you see those buildings? That's the community we're looking for. The left side is the villa area, and the right side is the high-rise residential area."

"The man who gave you the parchment scroll lives in the villa area. There was at least a fire there."

"It should be that one. Look, that building. It's obviously burned down by a fire. There's not even any paint on the walls."

"The buildings next to it all had brand new walls. It was said that the fire also spread to several villas next door."

“But now it must have been repainted and repaired, and only the middle building remains in its original state,” said Lu Weiwei.

"That should be it. Let's go and take a look." Gu Chen waved his hand and walked directly along the plank road by the river, preparing to go around it.

When they arrived at the gate of the villa area, a guard saw Gu Chen and others wearing police uniforms, so he hurried out.

"Excuse me, was there a fire in the villa area here a few years ago?" Gu Chen asked as he walked forward.

The middle-aged man in security uniform also nodded silently and said:
"Yes, a few years ago, there was indeed a house fire here. It seemed to be caused by aging wiring. At that time, a villa was completely burned down, and several surrounding villas were affected to some extent."

"Is it the one by the river?" Lu Weiwei said, pointing at the building by the river.

The security guard nodded silently and said without hesitation: "Yes, it is the one now. The whole villa was burned down at that time."

"Now, no one has taken care of this villa. It has been left here in disuse."

"Do you know the residents' information?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"The villa of the owner of Tianxiang Winery." The security guard replied immediately.

"Tianxiang Wine Industry? I haven't heard much about it." Lu Weiwei shook her head, as if she didn't know much about it.

But Yuan Shasha quickly said, "Tianxiang Wine Industry was quite big in Jiangnan City in the early years, but later on, for some unknown reason, it gradually disappeared."

"I remember that very early on, there were huge advertisements for Tianxiang Winery in many places on the streets and alleys."

"Besides, Tianxiang Wine Industry has several wine estates in Jiangnan City."

"Hey, female police officer, it seems that you are more knowledgeable about these things. Yes, the previous Tianxiang Winery was indeed very powerful and had a large industry."

The security guard pointed to the burned villa and continued, "The villa here is just one of the residences of the owner of Tianxiang Winery."

"But at the time of the fire, it seemed that the son of the owner of Tianxiang Winery lived here. It is said that he survived the fire and was saved in the hospital."

"But later, no one took care of it, and the villa remained abandoned here."

"The son of the boss of Tianxiang Liquor Company? What's his name?" asked Officer Wang.

"Uh, this... I don't remember much, but I remember that the owner of Tianxiang Liquor Industry was named Zhuang," said the security guard.

"Zhuang?" Gu Chen thought for a moment, took out his cell phone and dialed He Junchao's number.

Not long after, He Junchao's phone was connected, and Gu Chen got straight to the point and said, "Brother He, help me investigate the boss of Tianxiang Wine Industry."

"We are now near the burned-down villa in Donghu Park. We found out that the son of the owner of Tianxiang Winery lived here."

"Yes, the surname is Zhuang. Please help me investigate the situation of this Zhuang family. Well, tell me the results as soon as you have them. OK."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen asked the security guard again: "How much do you know about what happened after the fire?"

"I'm not sure, but I remember that after that, I gradually stopped hearing about Tianxiang Group."

The security guard seemed to remember something while talking, so he quickly said, "I remember that before the fire, it seemed that the couple of Tianxiang boss had passed away."

"Dead?" Lu Weiwei was also curious when she heard it:

"How did they die?"

"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I remember that at that time, only the son of the owner of Tianxiang Winery was still living here. But after the fire, I heard that he went abroad after recovering in the hospital."

"After that, I never heard anything about Tianxiang Wine Industry again."

"If you hadn't come here to ask these questions today, I might not have known much about it and would have almost forgotten about the Tianxiang Wine Company."

"Okay." After hearing what the security guard said, Gu Chen roughly understood that the person who gave him the sheepskin map might be the son of the owner of Tianxiang Winery.

That is the young man who survived the disaster and returned abroad.

But his parents died, and he suffered a fire. He then went abroad and came back a few years later. He handed over the so-called important things to an old man and asked the old man to hand them over to him.

Gu Chen felt that this young man surnamed Zhuang might be making a big move, and he had inadvertently become his chess piece.

Just when Gu Chen was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was He Junchao calling, Gu Chen quickly swiped the answer button and asked, "How is it?"

"Gu Chen, the man living in the villa is Zhuang Tianhe. He is the son of the boss of Tianxiang Winery."

"According to the information, he has not been in China in recent years, but has been working abroad."

"And his company is no longer owned by him, but by another man named Zhuang Hu."

"But this Zhuang Hu seems to have no relative relationship with Zhuang Tianhe, but they are from the same place, both from Yunnan Province." "They are from the same place? Then how did Zhuang Tianhe's family business end up in the hands of this person?" After hearing He Junchao's report, Gu Chen felt more and more that things were not that simple.

Logically speaking, the current owner of Tianxiang Winery, Zhuang Hu, took over the business from Zhuang Tianhe's parents, so he should be able to provide some help to Zhuang Tianhe.

But according to the old man, Zhuang Tianhe told him that he no longer had any relatives or friends in this city, which was obviously not reasonable.

"Could it be that there is a conflict between Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe? And the change of ownership of Tianxiang Winery was not something Zhuang Tianhe wanted?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chen felt more and more that there might be a deep conflict between Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe.

Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "Brother He, can you help me find this Zhuang Tianhe and see where he is now?"

"I'm investigating, but I found that this guy seemed to have avoided all surveillance. I didn't catch him on the street."

"Look more carefully, there must be a loophole." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, I'll keep looking."

The two of them communicated for a while before hanging up the phone.

Gu Chen looked back at everyone and said slowly, "I think we should go find that man named Zhuang Hu now."

……

……

An hour later, Gu Chen drove to the headquarters of Tianxiang Wine Industry, the 25th floor of a modern office building.

Gu Chen parked his car in the underground garage and went directly to the first floor of the building. He asked the security guard to help swipe the access card and let everyone go to the 25th floor of the building.

But when the elevator door opened, everyone discovered that the Tianxiang Wine Industry office was just a few small cubicles on the 25th floor.

"This shouldn't be the case. Tianxiang Wine Company should be quite large. How come the headquarters office is so small?" Yuan Shasha looked at everything in front of her, seeming a little unbelievable.

Officer Wang was very calm: "It's a simple reason. The performance is not good. We have too much debt. Although the old business can still make money, the performance is not much better."

"So, the office was reduced in size and only some core departments were retained, so there was no need for a large office area."

As Officer Wang spoke, he had already walked to the front desk of Tianxiang Winery.

At this moment, a middle-aged female receptionist was browsing on her mobile phone. When she saw several men and women in police uniforms suddenly appear in front of her, she was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Is Zhuang Hu the boss here?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Yes, Mr. Zhuang is our boss here." The middle-aged female receptionist nodded silently.

"Then where is he?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

The middle-aged female receptionist smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhuang is usually not in the company."

"Then can you contact him?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Uh, but...okay." The middle-aged female receptionist suddenly hesitated.

So Yuan Shasha said, "Then you should contact your CEO Zhuang immediately and tell him that Director Gu from the Furong Branch of the Jiangnan Public Security Bureau is in your company now and wants to talk to CEO Zhuang about something. Ask him to come to the company now."

"what?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Seeing the embarrassed look of the middle-aged female receptionist, Yuan Shasha also asked.

The middle-aged female receptionist waved her hand and said, "No problem. Please wait a moment. I will contact Mr. Zhuang's assistant to see if he is free to come over. Please wait a moment."

As soon as the voice fell, the middle-aged female receptionist immediately took out her mobile phone, started looking for the phone number, and then dialed it.

Soon, the call was connected and the middle-aged female receptionist quickly started communicating with the person on the other end of the phone.

After a while of communication, the middle-aged female receptionist was completely confused.

Seeing the confused expression of the middle-aged female receptionist, Officer Wang quickly asked, "What's going on? Is he coming or not?"

"Police comrade, our General Zhuang he...he..."

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing that the middle-aged female receptionist was speechless for a long time, Officer Wang asked anxiously.

"He...he is missing." The middle-aged female receptionist said with a puzzled look on her face.

"Missing?" Everyone said in unison, and were also a little confused by the result.

Officer Wang asked quickly, "How did he disappear? Could it be that Mr. Zhuang didn't want to come over, so he deliberately asked you to say he was missing?"

"No, no, it was his assistant who answered the phone. All matters of the company, big or small, are actually handled by his assistant. He rarely shows up in person."

"But his assistant said that Mr. Zhuang has been missing for a whole day and there has been no news so far. They are considering whether to call the police now."

"Missing? Really missing?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she also felt that the situation was not good.

Thinking of Zhuang Tianhe, he gave the things to the old man who bought scrap and asked him to give them to Gu Chen in five days.

Now five days have passed and Zhuang Tianhe's whereabouts are still unknown, and Zhuang Hu has also been missing for a whole day.

Putting this together, it seems that the situation is very clear, that is, Zhuang Tianhe is very likely to be with Zhuang Hu.

Perhaps due to certain circumstances, the two of them did not return to where they should have gone.

That's why the old man handed the old sheepskin map to Gu Chen as requested, and it seemed that Mr. Zhuang would never come back.

"They must be together." Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and said anxiously:

"Zhuang Tianhe is very likely to be with Zhuang Hu."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently. Based on the current situation, he could really infer that Zhuang Tianhe and Zhuang Hu were very likely together.

Looking at the middle-aged female receptionist in front of him, Gu Chen quickly asked her: "How long have you worked at Tianxiang Wine Industry?"

"Seven or eight years, right?" the middle-aged female receptionist said thoughtfully.

"Then do you know Zhuang Tianhe?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Zhuang Tianhe? He's the son of our company's former president? A playboy, I think you should know a little about him." Listening to Gu Chen's question, the middle-aged female receptionist seemed to recall some past events.

So Gu Chen asked again: "What kind of person do you think Zhuang Tianhe is?"

"What kind of person is Zhuang Tianhe?" Scratching her cheek, the middle-aged female receptionist said thoughtfully:
"He is an unreliable person, a man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, a playboy who spends his money like a spendthrift. In short, he has all the bad habits of the second-generation rich."
