Six accomplices in the case

Twenty-seven Wine Bureau (Part 1)

Jiang Mo gritted his teeth and tore open the bread that he had just scanned to pay for. He walked over to the Xiaomi recorder, which was hunched over in front of the computer at the checkout counter. He hooked up his foot and pulled out a slot machine hidden in a corner for lazy resting. The blue plastic stool clicked to the back of his butt to signal him to sit down. Then he took a bite of the dry bread and glanced at the four-frame surveillance screen that the young policeman quickly browsed.

"...These are the only pictures in the house? Now this is all indoor surveillance, right? The outdoor camera and the indoor one are not on the same video line, right?"

"The video cables in their store are not equipped with splitters. One network cable usually carries four video signals at the same time. Now there is one at the checkout counter, one at each end above the vertical shelf, and one in the warehouse. Side." Xiao Milu took the plastic stool and tilted it for a while before sitting down. He stared at the computer screen and nodded his thanks. He paused for a few seconds before pressing the double speed pause button. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Mo, "Outdoors. The surveillance is registered online at the police station in the jurisdiction. Generally, there is a separate line in the store, which is also convenient for supervision... Should we... take a look at the outdoor scene last night first? Officer Jiang? "

"The positions of the cameras in the house are relatively average... During the time that Chen Zuoyi was in the store, the activity area was at the long bar table in front of the window. The camera at the cashier could only capture the ground and lower body. The camera on the top of the long table is considered a blind spot, and it can capture the entire opposite side. However, in the evening when the sun sets, with backlight and a certain distance, the picture looks full of edges... But I'm not in a rush today anyway. Don’t lose sight of the pictures before you finish reading them.”

Jiang Mo gave a few reminders about the key to emergency monitoring. He put his arm around Xiaomi's shoulder and pressed it steadily. He turned around and pinched the bread that was not easy to choke. He raised his eyelids and looked at the wall behind the cashier. I checked the business license and duty schedule on the table one by one with the shift time and the ID photos with names on them. I moved a few steps and turned to the man who had already changed out of his work clothes, but was still holding his crossbody bag and leaning curiously. The clerk in front of the cashier stretched his neck and looked at the inquiring clerk, "Tan—laughing, right? I see you basically have a schedule every day? What's your major? Don't you have many classes?"

"Like Linlin, I majored in modeling, but I'm one year older than her, and I'm about to graduate as a senior."

Tan Xiao poked his head and stared at the surveillance screen for a while, but after pondering for a long time, he couldn't see the way out, so he simply withdrew his gaze and helped him with a smile to see that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and the self-service checkout was in a panic. The customer apprentice dug out the charged plastic bag, then watched him push open the door, turned around and leaned across the cashier counter, almost next to Jiang Mo, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Linlin, who was standing in front of the shelves, counting, with no expression on her face. He sighed softly: "But I don't plan to continue working in this industry. The cross-professional postgraduate entrance examination is quite difficult, so I will study hard while working part-time to survive."

Jiang Mo raised his hand and knocked on the chest where he was choking and sighing. His eyes slanted slightly following Tan Xiao's gaze, and then he raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Jiang Linlin who was obviously paying attention to the movement on the side of the cashier and her hands were trembling, and said vaguely He chatted: "If you are still in school... you can't say whether you are out of work or not. Isn't it important to graduate in the first year? The living expenses provided by your family are not enough?"

"I have severed ties with my family." Tan Xiao glanced around the convenience store where there were no customers. He turned around and saw the confused and apologetic look on Jiang Mo's face. He shook his arms and grinned, "As for me, I am not in a condition. Those who are particularly outstanding, my level is average enough. If you want to make a name for yourself in the model circle, connections are very important... So those agencies and big bosses come to us to select people to sign contracts, or just It’s common to find a few people you like to have a meal with and have a drink with. If it’s like Boss Chen yesterday, at least it’s good to have a head, a face, a name, and a surname. If you really encounter a liar, you’ll be in trouble—"

The deep scar on Tan Xiao's wrist disappeared in a flash with the fallen cuff, and she quickly pulled and tightened it, as if she accidentally put it into her pocket, "Before, I thought I was quite smart. , and also thought about taking little Linlin to pursue her dream of making a fortune, but in the end, not only did I lose myself, but she almost bankrupted Linlin... I know that old thief Sun who doesn't just pick up girls, he also cheats Liquidated damages, even a hundred countermeasures in your head can't stop him from digging 10,000 deadly pits waiting for you to jump out... I deserve to suffer, but I brought Linlin there and I can't ignore it. The scar on my wrist was because I was planning to threaten the old man, but I didn't expect that the old man was so crazy that he almost lost his life..."Jiang Mochan took a few mouthfuls and stuffed them into his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiaomi Lu twisting his head in a hurry, holding up his flashing neck and squinting at Jiang Mo. He frowned and excused himself to find a trash can, concentrating on two things. He leaned in front of the computer screen, still thinking about Tan Xiao's lingering words, "What kind of management contract did the old man sign for you? If the problem is serious, didn't you call the police?"

"It's said to be a performance agent, but there are a lot of insidious and hidden clauses in it. I didn't pay attention to it at all earlier. Basically...it's no different from the young lady who accompanies me here and there."

Tan Xiao probably hadn't dug out the fragments of the past that he had regarded as relief for a long time. He raised his hand to rub the white spots in his eyes when he was having trouble breathing. He squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Linlin who seemed to be shaking her head and waving to her. With a blurry vision, he stood up and walked a few steps toward the shelves, and finished his words slowly: "...Later, a boss in the suite next door knocked on the door and took Linlin and me away. It seemed like I also helped to resolve the contract matter. But I was almost dead at that time, and I can’t remember the specific things clearly. I don’t know whether I reported it to the police or not, but to be honest, we need to pursue this kind of dispute to the end. We may not win the case, and after all, Linlin is not like me, she still wants to stay in this circle... Oh, by the way, Linlin, you are still in contact with that boss, right? Anyway, we met twice and it seems like a good person It's quite serious, but it's a pity that he doesn't work in the entertainment-related industry, so he only occasionally has suitable jobs, and he will ask his assistant to help him push the template resume. Didn't Linlin just a few days ago--"

"Hello, welcome--"

"Sorry everyone, business may need to be suspended for a period of time."

Jiang Mo leaned against the checkout counter with one hand and jumped over the counter. He stretched out his arms and hugged the two female students who had already passed the pendants of the automatic sensor doorbell. He rushed out of the door with a confused face, flipped the closed sign on the door with his backhand, showed his police officer ID through the door glass, turned around and pinned the umbrella for sale at the door to the armrest, and tilted his head to signal to Jiang Linlin, who had evasive eyes. He paused and zoomed in on the computer screen.

The surveillance camera in front of the convenience store seemed to have been set up with a wide angle. The picture was frozen in the moment before several tall girls pushed the door open and watched Chen Zuoyi stumble away and fall to the ground. The sound of playing could even be heard, but there was something in the corner of the picture. Half of his body was hidden on the edge of the inconspicuous darkness, his sight was almost at odds with the group of people in the same place, and he silently looked at the black business Buick in front of the door of the exchange agency next door, or maybe it was the one half leaning on the hood. Half face in profile.

"Jiang Linlin, the person who suggested that Chen Zuoyi take you to the mountain bar at night is Liang Ji?"

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~

Happy New Year in advance! !

"May there be faith like the wind, and may the sun stay with me forever."
