I am a super cop

Chapter 458 Weird Guest Room

"Okay, we're free now." Seeing Huang Zhixiong leave, Lu Weiwei was relieved instead.

"Then let's find a place to sit down first." Gu Chen turned around and looked around, pointing to a corner and said, "Do you think it's okay over there? It's closer to the side, and it won't hinder their real estate industry. Let's be quiet." Just eat."

"It's just what I want." Lu Weiwei rubbed her hands together and walked over impatiently.

It was not yet 12 o'clock, and although there were quite a few people present, only three-fifths of the seats were filled in the huge living room.

Most of the people were walking through the crowd, handing out business cards or something.

The most industrious ones are developers at the bottom of the industry. They come here just to take advantage of the occasion where industry leaders gather, to send out their business cards, and to establish a relationship with large developers, which may be rewarded in the future. eat.

It is well known that the real estate development industry is in a downturn.

At this time, if you are small in scale, and you don’t know how to flatter others, and earn a lot of attention in front of big developers, you probably have to wait at home to die.

The same is true for industry reshuffle...

Looking at the sour inspirational banner in the front row, Gu Chen can understand that it is to tell everyone that the industry is difficult, and everyone has to tighten their belts to survive the cold winter.

And those bosses who sit in the front row and only need to constantly accept flattery from others should be the top figures in the industry.

These people hold many resources in the industry, and their reserves of land to be developed are also the most abundant.

Therefore, the choice of which developers to cooperate with is in your own hands.

And if the small developers are of good quality and are willing to advance capital, many big developers will get a share of the pie because of their face.

An industry reception, showing all the world.

The characters sitting in the first two rows of banquets are all bigwigs who can influence the development of the industry, and the guests who come to flatter them have to queue up in a long line.

"Are these all the real estate developers in our Jiangnan City?" Gu Chen was a little suspicious.

The young man who was sitting at the same banquet said: "Not all of them. Every year, only a few developers will come to the industry reception. After all, this is a stage to show their connections and strength."

"If you do well within a year, you will naturally be willing to participate in this kind of reception. If your performance within a year is poor, and you are even on the verge of collapse, many people simply won't come."

"Of course, some of the people who come here are here to establish contacts. After all, this kind of industry exchange reception is actually led by a few big shots."

"That's the people at the door, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Almost." The young man said: "These people are all going to speak on stage. After all, they are in Jiangnan City, and they are doing well."

"However, last year there was a good guy who also gave a speech on stage, but this year it's not good, and his performance has dropped seriously, so he won't come this year with an excuse."

Listening to the young man's narration, Police Officer Wang suddenly asked suspiciously: "You know this industry so well, so what do you do? Are you also a real estate developer?"

The man smiled immediately: "I'm not a developer, I'm just a gardener in the park. I asked the manager of Moore Manor for a ticket, so I can eat and drink here."

Seeing that he was so frank, Gu Chen couldn't help but say: "You really can see it, and you can talk so directly while eating and drinking here?"

"Aren't you too?" The man looked at Gu Chen and the three of them, and said with a smile, "Actually, judging from your temperament, you don't look like a developer."

"But I'm very surprised. Just now I saw a big developer sitting in the front row come over to greet you. Why? Are you his relatives?"

Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, and everyone immediately laughed.

"That's right, we are his friends, and we also come here to eat and drink." Lu Weiwei directly showed her cards and stopped pretending.

The man smiled and said, "It's really nothing. Apart from the developers, there are also some people from the literary and art circles, as well as people from new social classes. Anyway, there are quite a few people who come to eat and drink. Every year, the banquet is not full."

"The ones who didn't come, the vacant wine tables, their own people from Moore Manor will come to eat, anyway, it's a welfare."

"Hehe, it seems that you are familiar with these things." Gu Chen was also attracted by this young man.

"My name is A Rui, what about you?" The young man named A Rui stretched out his hand and asked Gu Chen.

"Gu Chen." Gu Chen shook hands with him.

"Lu Weiwei." Lu Weiwei also said.

"Just call me Old Wang." Officer Wang also reported his family name.

"Looking at your extraordinary appearance and strong body, you are not the personal bodyguards of some big boss, right?" A Rui looked at the three of them, feeling more and more similar.

Gu Chen nodded: "Almost."

A Rui immediately put down the snacks in his hand, approached Gu Chen and said, "In addition to the delicious food, there are also many performances here today. I heard that some bigwigs in the front row spent a lot of money and invited many domestic and foreign guests. art group."

"Like a violin, a ballet piano or something, it's fine if it's very artistic anyway, let's eat and drink here, and treat him as a fart for any other speeches, anyway, it's all useless nonsense."

"That's right." Gu Chen agreed with A Rui's words very much. After all, only outsiders could see that this industry reception was actually a reception for the top two real estate development bosses to prove their strength.

It is nothing more than spending money to prove one's status, giving speeches or something, nothing more than making a fuss in the industry and showing one's face.

Of course, the industry is reshuffled every year, and many big and small developers want to see who this year's big boss will be, so as to find out the direction to hold their thighs.

The reception will start soon...

The violin performance group first appeared on the stage, and a burst of melodious music quickly made the atmosphere lively.

Many staff members pushing the dining carts began to distribute food to each table.

Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up when she saw the hairy crab in front of her, and she wished to destroy it immediately.

The elites and celebrities from various industries also gathered together, and everyone talked and laughed happily.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were quickly infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene.

When they heard a certain bald man propose a toast, everyone stood up, toasted and drank, and had a great time.

A Rui can eat as much as Lu Weiwei. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would have thought that A Rui escaped from somewhere.

Since everyone came here to eat and drink and didn't pay attention to the intersection of contacts, there were only Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and A Rui at this banquet.

The banquet dishes on the table can be said to be enough to eat.

Ari picked up the wine glass in one hand and the drumstick in the other and said, "Come on, let's have a drink too."

"Okay." Gu Chen complied with his request, and then the four toasted each other.

Ari didn't enjoy drinking until the end, so he directly picked up a bottle of wine and put it in his mouth to drink.

He was also afraid that Gu Chen and the others would make fun of him, so A Rui said again: "You're welcome, no one here knows us anyway, this wine is expensive, and it's rare to drink it once, anyway, the bosses in the front row pay for it, so let's brag about it."

After speaking, Ari picked up the wine bottle again and drank it directly as a drink.

It was rare for Police Officer Wang to relax, so he also opened a bottle, imitating A Rui's way of drinking in style.

Lu Weiwei was a little disgusted, looked at Gu Chen beside her and said, "Why does Junior Brother Gu only drink fruit juice? You can also drink a bottle? Would you like me to open it for you?"

"No need." Gu Chen also said with a smile: "I have to drive later, I don't drink too much, just drink."

"Yeah, this abalone is pretty good. I heard it's the price of cabbage this year. Come on, let me grab a piece for you." Lu Weiwei immediately became Gu Chen's dining assistant.

The meal goes on, and so does the show.

It seems that the bigwigs in the front row have discussed it. Every time there is a performance, a bigwig in the front row will come on stage to pretend to be aggressive.

First, introduce who you are to everyone, and then tell everyone what your company is called?What real estate projects have been developed, and finally said some excerpts from the quotations that Jack Ma said, and finally ended the conversation with flattering applause from everyone.

Of course, everyone's applause is not because of what those bigwigs said, but because they can look forward to the next show as soon as possible.

Due to the lack of food, Lu Weiwei and A Rui were soon full.

Ari rubbed his swollen belly and hiccupped loudly: "I have to go to the toilet, you guys eat first."

"Okay." Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei also said: "Then I'll go to the toilet too, do you want to come with Junior Brother Gu?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "I won't go, why don't you go with Senior Brother Wang."

Officer Wang stood up and said, "Let's go, Lu Weiwei."

The two left, Gu Chen still sat there watching the performance, very quiet.

When people come and go, everyone walks in the front row.

Around the dining tables in the first two rows, from time to time, some hunched crowd toasted and flattered.

The industry leaders sitting in the front row are lighting cigarettes and guiding the maze...

I don't know how long it took before Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang returned to their seats and began to quietly enjoy the performance on the stage.

A few minutes later, Ari also came over with a loud hiccup. His cheeks were flushed and he looked a little drunk.

Gu Chen poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

Ari thanked him, and then turned his gaze to the stage.

The show was coming to an end soon, and many people began to shuttle back and forth between the dining table and the toilet.

At this moment, a woman came over suddenly yelling and gestured to the security guard next to the stage.

Since the DJ was right next to her, what the woman said instantly spread throughout the venue through the DJ's microphone.

"My diamond ring is gone, my diamond ring is gone, what should I do? What should I do?"

Originally, everyone was still chatting to their heart's content, but they were suddenly interrupted by this sentence.

At this moment, everyone raised their heads dumbfounded and looked at the woman on the stage.

The tall and thin host was a little embarrassed, and hurried over to understand the situation: "Ms. Liao, what's the matter with you?"

"My diamond ring is gone." Ms. Liao stomped her feet anxiously.

Immediately, the entire reception was in an uproar.

Lu Weiwei quickly touched Gu Chen's shoulder and said, "Isn't this the Ms. Liao you mentioned? It's the vice president of the artist association, right?"

Gu Chen also looked at it and said, "That's right, it's her."

"It seems that she lost something." Officer Wang said.

Lu Weiwei was scornful in confusion: "Didn't they say that? The diamond ring is lost, isn't your old king talking nonsense?"

Officer Wang also smiled: "Let's see and talk."

Off the stage, a big man in the front row was smoking a cigarette and said calmly: "Ms. Liao, what a big loss the diamond ring is, just ask the staff of Moore Manor to help you find it."

"It's not like this." Ms. Liao also found that she was too panicked and couldn't explain clearly for a while, so she directly grabbed the microphone from the host's hand and said:
"My diamond ring is very expensive. It is a birthday present from my husband. It is a full three carats, and this diamond ring is from a top master in Europe..."

Ms. Liao said a lot, and everyone panicked immediately.

You must know that although Ms. Liao is the vice president of the Artists Association, she actually has several other identities, one of which is the corporate legal person of a real estate development company.

It seems that this diamond ring is really expensive for such a woman who has seen the world so much, so everyone present was surprised.

A hotel manager of Moore Manor also hurried forward and asked, "Ms. Liao, where did you lose your diamond ring? We will send someone to help you find it right away."

"It's so weird." Ms. Liao suddenly stared blankly at the ground.

"What?" The hotel manager was also taken aback, and quickly asked her, "Ms. Liao, what did you say?"

"It's so weird, your Moore Manor is too weird." Ms. Liao turned her head to look at the manager, and her whole body began to tremble.

Seeing that Ms. Liao was too flustered, the hotel manager said again: "Ms. Liao, can you calm down first? Please tell us, what is going on?"

Many people below the stage also looked at her blankly, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

"Yes...it's like this." Ms. Liao also tried to calm down, then picked up the microphone, and said in a puzzled way: "I usually don't drink much alcohol, but today I was happy, so I drank two more glasses, and found that I was a little dizzy , and several colleagues at the same table toasted desperately."

"So I left with an excuse. I actually went upstairs to take a shower in the VIP room to refresh myself."

"But after I came to the guest room, I locked the door as soon as I entered, then I put all the jewelry and diamond rings on the table, and then I went to the bathroom."

"The strange thing is that after I took a shower, all the other jewelry was still there, but the diamond ring that was on the table was gone."

"what?"

"Fuck!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Many people were stunned when they heard it.

Many people also don't understand, it's broad daylight, can they still see ghosts?
The big man in the front row who was smoking immediately put out his cigarette, and quickly asked again: "Did someone come in and steal it because you didn't close the door properly?"

"No, I have an anti-lock, and I have a hotel at home. Of course, I know the safety of the door after the door is locked, and no one will come in."

"And when I found out that only the diamond ring disappeared, the hotel door was still locked. This... this is too weird, did I see a ghost?"

Hearing Ms. Liao's weird narration, many people were startled, and the more they said it, the weirder it became.

Many people are whispering to each other, feeling a little unbelievable, even puzzled.

"My God! How could this happen?" Hearing what Ms. Liao said, Police Officer Wang frowned and turned to ask A Rui, who was at the same table, "A Rui, is your scenic spot so weird?"

"That's right." Lu Weiwei also said: "It's still noon, if it's at night, wouldn't you be scared to death?"

A Rui was also stunned for a while, and quickly asked, "Could it be that this thief is hiding in Ms. Liao's room?"

"No way?" Gu Chen was also deep in thought, and said after a while: "Haven't you heard? The room is locked. If there is a thief hiding in the hotel room in advance, then the surveillance of Moore Manor should be able to catch it."

"That makes sense." Lu Weiwei lifted her chin and nodded.

At this time, a middle-aged man at the next table interrupted: "You don't know, do you? Just over a month ago, the same thing happened once, and the place where the incident happened was also in the VIP guest room of Moore Manor , it was also a lady's diamond ring that was missing."

"But because the value of the diamond ring was not high, the lady who was staying at that time didn't pay much attention to it, so the matter passed in a muddle."

Looking at the anxious Ms. Liao on the stage, the man at the next table was also puzzled and said, "It's really unexpected that such a thing happened again today. It seems that this Moore Manor is really weird."

"What you said is true?" Lu Weiwei suddenly widened her eyes, feeling that there must be something strange here.

The man at the next table nodded: "That's for sure. The lady who stayed in Moore Manor last time was a friend of one of my clients. My client mentioned it in the circle of friends, and I gave him a thumbs up."

Lu Weiwei also nodded, and looked away again, she turned to look at Gu Chen.

At this moment, Gu Chen, with his eyes fixed on the stage, seemed to be embarrassed for the organizer.

Such a thing unexpectedly happened at a good industry exchange reception.

And when the man at the next table said it just now, Gu Chen even felt that there must be something strange about it.

On the other hand, the hotel manager was also afraid of affecting the normal holding of the reception, so he called a few security guards to accompany Ms. Liao to the room to investigate.

At this time, Gu Chen also stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

"Okay." Lu Weiwei also stood up immediately, and said, "That's exactly what I mean, old Wang, are you going?"

"Go, why don't you go?" Police officer Wang also stood up and stroked his swollen belly.

Then, under the leadership of the hotel manager and security guards, everyone came to the VIP room of Ms. Liao.

The hotel manager picked up a walkie-talkie and asked inside. Then he said to Ms. Liao: "The monitoring room said that the monitoring of the aisle is normal. From the time you entered the guest room to the time you came out, you have never entered the room."

"How... how did this happen?" Ms. Liao also said with shame, "Then... could it be, could it be that the thief who stole the diamond ring is still hiding in my room at this moment?"

Also startled by Ms. Liao's words, the hotel manager immediately said to the security guards, "Brothers, get the guy."
