I am a super cop

Chapter 295 17:11:23

Gu Chen, who has a special memory blessing, really surprised Bai Xiaolan.

It didn't take long for me to talk just now, right?
For the news updates in the past two months, cousin Zhao Xiaomin has at least a few updates every day.

Even if I don't take a selfie, no matter how bad it is, I will send an emoji and moan.

Gu Chen can read it in a few minutes, and find out the doubts in it?
This looks fantastic, doesn't it?
"You... you just finished reading it all?" Bai Xiaolan was taken aback, and turned around quickly.

"Basically finished." Gu Chen showed the background picture with the oil painting of a lion's head in front of Bai Xiaolan.

"Huh?" Bai Xiaolandai frowned slightly, and manually enlarged the photo.

"How is it?" Gu Chen asked.

"This place... I don't think I've been there before, but this oil painting of a lion's head... seems to be a bit of an impression, let me think about it again."

"It's okay, think about it slowly." Gu Chen is not in a hurry, this situation requires repeated thinking.

Inside the car, it was as quiet as ever.

Bai Xiaolan scratched her head from time to time to think, and from time to time cast her gaze outside the car.

Ten minutes later, just when everyone thought Bai Xiaolan was really unimpressed, Bai Xiaolan suddenly said, "I see, I know this place."

"Say it quickly." Gu Chen turned around again, looking at Bai Xiaolan expectantly.

"This place is the top floor of Jiangnan Wantai Hotel. My cousin is in the restaurant. That's right, the logo of Wantai Hotel is a lion, and this lion head oil painting is the background of Wantai Restaurant."

Bai Xiaolan patted her head again, annoyed: "Why didn't I think of it before? I came to this place with my cousin before, and that was when Wantai Hotel opened, about three years ago."

"At that time, my cousin and I hadn't graduated yet, so we wanted to go to the high-altitude restaurant to have a meal and overlook the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan City."

"But at that time, both of us were poor students. When we saw the menu, we were shocked and dumbfounded. We told the waiter to go to the toilet, and then left in despair."

Recalling the experience three years ago, Bai Xiaolan also had mixed feelings.

"Then are you sure that the restaurant with this background picture is undoubtedly the Wantai Restaurant?" Gu Chen asked.

"That's right, I'm sure." Bai Xiaolan said confidently, "Because that painting is so eye-catching, I told my cousin at the time that this painting was not suitable for hanging here, and it didn't fit the scene of a restaurant. Yes, I was Having said that, even today, I still think it’s inappropriate.”

"I said, why is it so familiar? So it's here, eh? No, when did my cousin come here for dinner?"

After being reminded by Gu Chen, Bai Xiaolan realized that every time her cousin came here for dinner, she was not there.

At that time, Bai Xiaolan watched her cousin show off the delicious food, and asked her cousin Zhao Xiaomin. Zhao Xiaomin just used the reason of having a dinner with friends, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

But now that I think about it, the consumption here is ridiculously high. The average middle-income group can grit their teeth and eat here once or twice a month, which is considered petty bourgeoisie.

But my cousin has been here no less than five times within two months.

"Is there a problem?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"This place is very expensive." Bai Xiaolan explained directly: "Even if my cousin's salary is good, if you come here to eat once a month, you have to grit your teeth. If it's a friend's treat, why is my cousin alone every time? What about her friends and colleagues? I’ve never seen her send it to Moments.”

"It's really suspicious." Officer Wang, who was driving the car, couldn't help complaining: "Normally, when you come to a high-end restaurant and take a selfie without showing your partner in the camera, the only suspicious explanation is that the other party is a man, maybe a boyfriend. Those whose relationship has not yet been determined are not willing to disclose it for the time being.”

"Senior Brother Wang is right, there is indeed a man sitting opposite Zhao Xiaomin." Just as Police Officer Wang was talking non-stop, Gu Chen suddenly made a new discovery.

Bai Xiaolan hurriedly asked: "What do you say? There are only my cousin's selfies in the photo. How do you know that the person sitting opposite is a man? What if there are other people?"

Gu Chen didn't want to explain too much, so he directly clicked on one of the pictures with a lion head oil painting background, then zoomed in on Zhao Xiaomin's selfie, held it in front of Bai Xiaolan again and asked, "Did you find the problem with this picture?"

Bai Xiaolan and Lu Weiwei leaned over at the same time, and they checked carefully.

The sharp-eyed Lu Weiwei was the first to spot the trick: "The problem is in Zhao Xiaomin's sunglasses."

"Sunglasses?" After being reminded by Lu Weiwei, Bai Xiaolan, who reacted a little slower, focused her gaze again, and said, "It's...it's a reflection."

"That's right." Gu Chen took back his phone, looked at the man reflected in Zhao Xiaomin's sunglasses, and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, there is only the profile of the man, and there is a waiter behind him. They should be ordering food at that time."

"It's really not the right time for this waiter to appear." Lu Weiwei also said with regret: "If there is no such waiter, we may be able to see the real appearance of this man from Zhao Xiaomin's sunglasses, which is a pity. "

"Then...then see if there are any other photos with reflections of men." Bai Xiaolan became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly urged Gu Chen to say.

Gu Chen shook his head and said: "The only photo of Zhao Xiaomin wearing sunglasses for selfie is this one, and in other photos, no matter from any angle, no trace of the man can be found."

"Isn't that a pity?" Lu Weiwei took Bai Xiaolan's phone, manually zoomed in on the picture just now, and said, "From the side view, this man's appearance should not be bad, and his sitting posture is upright. Be courteous."

"Tell you the truth." Police Officer Wang, who was driving, couldn't bear the loneliness, and interjected: "The more serious you behave on this kind of date, 90.00% of the people are pretending. , An elegant gentleman's meal? It doesn't exist, okay?"

"You know?" Lu Weiwei expressed dissatisfaction, and said: "Even if 90.00% of the people in the world are what you think, there are still about 7500 million people who are gentlemen you have to admit, right? Suddenly speechless? Hehe."

Police Officer Wang said with a dark face: "I will subdue you, Lu Weiwei, if you tear down the stage."

The two teased each other a few words, and both turned their gazes to Gu Chen who said nothing.

"Junior Brother Gu, what should we do now?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Since it has been confirmed, Zhao Xiaomin does have a male friend who is dating, and it can be concluded that he can dine frequently at Wantai Restaurant. This male friend must have good financial strength. It is actually very easy to find this person..."

Seeing that Gu Chen was pretending to be mysterious, Bai Xiaolan asked Gu Chen weakly: "Then...then how should we find it?"

"Don't worry." Gu Chen paused, and said, "Customers who spend frequently in high-end restaurants have always been the focus of attention of the management of the restaurant, and they are also the target customers of the restaurant. Therefore, the restaurant will record some customer information."

"Also, there are surveillance cameras in the restaurant. As long as we retrieve the time when Zhao Xiaomin was eating, it's not difficult to find the man."

"That's right." Bai Xiaolan suddenly realized, and quickly patted her head: "Look at me, I was so anxious just now that I complicated such a simple problem. My thinking was not so clumsy before."

"Hey, that's because the person involved in this case is your cousin, the bystanders are clear, the authorities are fans, let alone you." Lu Weiwei also complained.

Police Officer Wang stepped on his feet and said, "Don't say anything, the next target is Wantai Restaurant in Jiangnan City."

……

……

4:20pm.

For Wantai Hotel restaurant, it is not the peak time for dining, so some gentle music is played in the restaurant.

A small number of men and women wearing brand-name clothing will sit by the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan City, with a few cups of coffee or desserts on the table.

"Hey, police officers, are you here to eat too?" A waiter couldn't help but wondered when he saw Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, and Bai Xiaolan walking in.

Logically speaking, the above eight regulations are placed there, and high-consumption places have always had nothing to do with the police.

Besides, even if the police come here for personal reasons, they should not wear police uniforms. Isn't this too conspicuous?
"We are not here to consume, we are here to handle cases." Lu Weiwei took the lead in breaking the zero reply.

"Handling... handling the case?" The waiter boy obviously paused, and then he said in a daze: "I...do we have a problem here?"

"Call your manager over here." Officer Wang put his hips on his hips, looked around, and then his eyes stayed on the lion head oil painting.

Obviously, Bai Xiaolan's guess was not wrong at all.

"Please...please wait a moment." Some snobbish waiter brothers, seeing that the police were not here to eat, but to handle cases, couldn't help frowning, turned and left.

Not long after, a fat man in a suit and leather shoes came out of the office, stood at the door and looked around a few times, and then hurried over.

"Excuse me." The fat man looked at a few people, and when his eyes moved to Bai Xiaolan, he paused obviously, and said, "Aren't you that...that Jiangnan TV reporter?"

"That's right, I am." Bai Xiaolan stood up, shook hands with the fat man and said, "Hi, my name is Bai Xiaolan."

"You... hello, I'm the duty manager here. May I ask... May I help you?"

Seeing that Bai Xiaolan came to the scene with three policemen, the manager on duty was obviously a little nervous.

"Let's look for someone." Gu Chen stood up from his seat and said, "This person...is suspected to be related to a missing girl case. He has appeared in your restaurant many times, so we want to call your restaurant monitoring, I hope you can cooperate."

"Oh! So that's the case." The manager on duty suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "No problem, assisting the police in handling cases is the duty of every Jiangnan citizen. Come with me, and I will take you to the building." monitoring room."

The duty manager responded very readily...

Turning around, he was about to lead the police to find clues.

The manager on duty pushed open the door of the monitoring room, patted the shoulders of the two security guards on duty, and said, "Xiao He, Xiao Wu, the police comrades are here to handle the case, you can help to remove the surveillance."

"Ok."

"no problem."

Seeing the manager on duty followed by a few uniformed security guards who were sitting staggeringly, he immediately sat up straight.

Although the uniform colors of security guards and police uniforms are somewhat similar, professional teams and amateur teams are still very different.

As far as temperament alone is concerned, Gu Chen is in control.

"Comrade police, when do you want surveillance?" one of the tall and thin security guards asked.

"Last month... on the 10th." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, here's the tune for you."

The security guy is proficient in operating the keyboard and mouse.

It didn't take long for the range of videos on the 10th of last month to appear.

The tall and thin security guard said with a smile: "The scope of our surveillance video... is exactly on the 10th of last month. You are lucky. If you come one day later, you may only be able to check the 11th of last month."

"It seems that choosing a day is worse than bumping into it." Gu Chen nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.

"What's the time period?" Some fat security guards asked.

"In the afternoon...between 4:7 and [-]:[-] pm." Bai Xiaolan said first.

Looking at the dynamics of Moments on the mobile phone, cousin Zhao Xiaomin sent Moments at 7:[-] pm, presumably the time range is also in this time period.

"Okay, wait." The chubby security guard randomly stretched out his fat fingers and began to call out the monitoring time.

"It's too slow." Gu Chen shook his head involuntarily as he watched the monitor playing at 4x speed.

The fat security guard had no choice but to speed up the playback to 8 times speed.

"It's still too slow." Gu Chen still expressed dissatisfaction.

The fat security guard sneaked a glance at Gu Chen. At this moment, Gu Chen was crossing his arms and staring at the screen indifferently.

Helpless, so the fat security guard increased the speed to 16 times.

"It's still too slow, can it be directly increased to 32 times."

Gu Chen was a little impatient...

In fact, the people in the surveillance video are already moving very fast at this moment, but because they are in the restaurant, most of them will sit on the sofa in the restaurant.

Therefore, Gu Chen filtered out pedestrians and directly targeted the sofa in the dining area.

Playing at 32x speed is obviously nothing to him.

The fat security guard said, "That's fine, just play it at 32x speed."

But I thought in my heart, has the current police observation speed increased to this level?It's going to be 32 times faster?
At this time, the pedestrians in the surveillance video are all moving around, but only the customer sitting on the sofa is obviously shaking like an electric shock.

This kind of normal picture looks funny when it is accelerated to 32 times speed.

"Stop!" While everyone was waiting, Gu Chen suddenly called a timeout.

The fat security guard quickly paused.

"Rewind the time to: 17:11:23 in the afternoon." Gu Chen said.

The fat security guard was stunned suddenly, the tall and thin security guard beside him was also unbelievable, and the manager on duty was even more dazed.

No matter how you look at this young policeman, he is only a fledgling third-level superintendent.

But how can the accuracy of the surveillance video be accurate to the minute?Isn't this guy acting too pretentious?
Ordinary policemen will only say: Come on, go forward a little bit, and go back a little bit to get closer to the time.

But the young man in front of him was so accurate to the minute when he opened his mouth, this made the three hotel staff stupefied and couldn't help but hold back their laughter.

"Xiao He, just listen to this police officer." The manager on duty also suppressed a smile and said, "Rewind the time to... 17:11:23."

"Okay." The fat security guard smiled and directly pulled the playback bar.

Soon, 17:11:23, not bad for a second.

At this moment, Police Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan also followed Gu Chen closely and moved their heads together.

"Really... really cousin?" Bai Xiaolan exclaimed, and then found the man beside Zhao Xiaomin, and said immediately, "That's right, it's the man in the white shirt, his clothes and hairstyle..."

To be sure, Bai Xiaolan looked down at her phone again, and finally said: "The clothes and hairstyle are the same, it's definitely him."

"This man looks quite handsome, he looks like a successful person, a career elite." Lu Weiwei looked carefully at the same time, but couldn't help but click twice: "But no matter how you look at it, he is not as handsome as our senior brother Gu. "

"Cough cough." Police officer Wang couldn't help coughing twice, and reminded: "Lu Weiwei, pay attention to your image, this case is still being handled!"

"I'm telling the truth." Lu Weiwei said that she would never admit defeat in supporting Gu Chen in terms of fighting for appearance.

Gu Chen smiled, turned around and looked at the three people in the hotel.

Only now did I realize that the three people in the hotel were already dumbfounded, and Gu Chen's operation just now was just right.

17:11:23, not more than a minute, not less than a second, the two people's picture in this time period is the most intuitive and clear.

Of course, the three of them didn't know that Gu Chen had a specialized memory, which could strengthen quick memory.

I can only scream in my heart!
"Manager." Seeing that the on-duty manager's gaze was still dull, Gu Chen reminded loudly: "Is this man a member of your restaurant?"

"Ah?" The manager on duty was stunned for a moment, then leaned over, looked it up carefully, and quickly gave the answer: "Yes, this man is familiar to me, and he has indeed registered as a member in our Wantai Hotel restaurant. Card, because he spends a lot, so our restaurant will pay special attention to it."

"Very good, now pull out his information immediately, I want to know his information immediately." Officer Wang said.

The manager on duty hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassingly: "Comrade policeman, without the client's consent, he leaked the client's information privately. This... makes it very difficult for us."

Although they know to cooperate with the police in handling the case, the police have the right to ask the relevant units to provide the file information of the corresponding personnel.

But as a hotel, it is natural to uphold the principle of "business is business."

If customer information is obtained by the police at will, other customers will not point the finger at the police, but will blame the hotel restaurant.

Of course, the hesitation of the manager on duty was naturally embarrassing.

But Gu Chen didn't think too much, instead he went directly to the duty manager and said lightly:
"If your refusal to provide the suspect's information leads to a serious accident or death of the victim, then your hotel will bear the corresponding consequences and responsibilities, and the hotel parties will also bear the responsibility, so... May I ask if there is any more? What's the problem?"

"No... no problem, I'll look for it right away, I'll look for it right away." When he heard that he was going to take responsibility, the chubby manager on duty immediately gave up.

And Bai Xiaolan patted her chest, said happily: "It's great, I finally know who this cousin's online dating boyfriend is."
