Chapter 318 Manager Soku
Lu Wenjing waited at the door for a few minutes. He was reading messages from his colleagues on his mobile phone when he heard the guest room door being opened.

He subconsciously raised his head, but it was empty. When he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of a round little head with soft and fluffy short hair, looking out.

"Wanwan?"

Lu Wenjing put down his mobile phone and changed from standing against the wall to a squatting position. His soft dog eyes curled up and he raised his hand to rub Wanwan's head: "Why did you come out?"

Wanwan obediently let him touch it, and then hooked her short fingers at him: "Uncle policeman, my brother and I found a camera in the room, so we asked you to call the police."

The smile on Lu Wenjing's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he said seriously: "I'll go in and take a look first, okay?"

Wanwan opened the door and let Lu Wenjing enter first.

In the room, Xia Zhihuai walked out of the bathroom. Lu Wenjing glanced at him with an ugly look on his face.

He had chosen the accommodation, and he didn't expect such a problem to arise.

I wonder if Xia Zhihuai will question the ability of their police station.

"The camera is in the bathroom, connected to the socket in the bathroom." Xia Zhihuai stepped aside to let Lu Wenjing go in for inspection.

After Lu Wenjing removed the camera, his face turned pale: "I will contact the hotel immediately to investigate and ask them to change rooms for you."

Xia Zhihuai shook his head: "There is no need to change rooms. It will be no problem if all the cameras are removed. I hope you can arrange for someone to help check it."

"This is what we should do." Lu Wenjing immediately went out and called the police station next door.

The criminal investigation department has not had enough police personnel recently, and because of two consecutive murders, the superiors have been keeping a close eye on their detachment, and they are temporarily unable to allocate manpower to take charge of such things as candid photography.

……

Xia Zhihuai stuffed his luggage into the closet, and after checking the room, he took Wanwan and Lu Wenjing to the bureau.

When the three of them arrived at the police station, they happened to meet a middle-aged man wearing a dark gray suit at the door. He had a neatly trimmed beard and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he followed a uniformed policeman toward the door.

When the man passed by Xia Zhihuai, he gave him a deep glance, which made Xia Zhihuai couldn't help but frown.

Wanwan lay on Xia Zhihuai's shoulder, twirling her fingers in boredom. She noticed Xia Zhihuai's stiffness for a moment, and when she turned her head, she saw only a black back of his head.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Xia Zhihuai hugged Wanwan tightly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Maybe he is too caring and too sensitive to other people's eyes.

He always felt that the way that person looked at him just now had some evil intentions.

Wanwan carelessly grabbed a thread on his T-shirt and asked in a low voice: "How can we help solve the case? The ghost sister has been caught, and the soul of the skeletal corpse is no longer there. We two What can be done?”

Xia Zhihuai: "I don't know either. Let's check the situation first."

Wanwan said dejectedly: "I kind of want to go home. The peach tree at home must have started to bear peaches."

"I want to go back and breathe immortality into them."

Xia Zhihuai covered his small mouth and whispered: "I know you are powerful, but don't say these words outside."

"After the things in Iron City are finished, let's go back to Peach Blossom Village, okay? Let's take a look at your peach trees first."

"By the way, I'll help you contact the kindergarten in town to see if they accept transfer classes."

Wanwan stopped talking for a moment.

She doesn't want to go to school.

Why do children have to go to kindergarten?

It's fine for her to stay at home. Does her brother have any dissatisfaction with her? !

Xia Zhihuai turned a blind eye to her resistance. He followed Lu Wenjing to an empty room and saw the one-way glass on the wall.

He held Wanwan through the glass window and saw the people in the interrogation room next door.

It was the middle-aged man with beard whom I met at the door just now. "He is the current general manager of Four Seasons New Capital, his name is Soku."

Wanwan muttered: "The name is so strange."

Lu Wenjing smiled silently and said nonchalantly: "However, he has been the general manager for less than five years, and in a place like Siji Xindu, the turnover of personnel is also very large, so we have not found a job for more than 20 years. old employees.”

Xia Zhihuai lowered his eyes and thought deeply for a moment: "In other words, the foreman and manager of Siji Xindu when Qu Yuan was killed are now missing."

A dark look flashed in Lu Wenjing's eyes, and he stared at the calm man on the other side of the one-way glass with a complex expression: "It's hard to say, our people came to the door for the first time. Originally, they wanted to go directly to the boss Zhuang Zhuobin, but their people Since Zhuang Zhuobin is not in Iron City now, let us find the person in charge of the club, who is the one inside."

……

The person responsible for talking to Suoku was Lu Wenjing’s master, Zhou Heping.

The man was unshaven, with black eyes under his eyes. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a black coat, and sat on a chair with a document and pen in his hand.

He first looked at Soku and waited until the colleague next to him turned on the camera before he started to ask formally.

"Mr. Soku, thank you for your willingness to cooperate with our work and come to the bureau to conduct relevant investigations and inquiries."

Soku leaned on his chair, curved his lips and gave a fake smile: "We can't let you run into our club every two days and affect our business. Many guests who value privacy will think something has happened to us. , a decline in performance is the real trouble.”

"If you have anything to ask, just say it directly."

Zhou Heping did not show any emotion towards his cooperation.

It is often people like this who are in the most trouble, unable to convey half the truth in ten sentences.

"Where is your boss Zhuang Zhuobin now?"

Soku leaned back slightly, tapped his right hand lightly on the armrest of the chair, his eyelids drooped for two seconds, and said with a smile: "How do I know this? He went on vacation with his family recently and did not answer his work calls. You are the first I contacted him in front of you the first time I came to visit. He took two months off this time, saying he was on honeymoon with the boss's wife or something."

"If you want to find him, you probably have to wait for him to come back, or see if you have any other contacts who can contact him."

Zhou Heping was noncommittal and changed the question.

"You were promoted to store manager five years ago?"

Soku nodded: "Yes, I have been with Siji Xindu for less than ten years. I worked as a foreman for five years before being promoted to the manager of the old store."

Zhou Heping turned the pen in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much do you know about the old store manager before you?"

"The store manager before me was named Ying Xiuyang. He retired due to illness."

"Hepatocarcinoma was in the advanced stage. I took over his job for more than a year, and he passed away in Iron City General Hospital."

Suoku changed his sitting position and pursed his lips slightly: "I don't know much about him. You also know that Siji Xindu has two stores in Tiexi City. I used to work in the new store, but later because I had to take over Ying Xiu Yang’s job was transferred to the old store.”

"I only know that Ying Xiuyang has stayed in Siji Xindu for a long time. It is said that he gradually rose from a bartender to the position of general manager of the old store. He has been working there for at least seventeen or eight years."

Zhou Heping lowered his eyes, leaned on the chair and listened to what he said, and then said: "Where did you hear about it?"

"There are some old employees in the old store, but they have gradually left over the years."

Soku raised his chin slightly: "The employees here in Four Seasons New Capital are all young people, mostly young girls and handsome guys, mainly to improve the performance of the store. Older employees are not popular and are not favored by customers. Not to mention, it is difficult to improve performance such as wine sales, so except for the company’s senior management, other employees will not be over 35 years old.”

"So the group of old employees who followed Ying Xiuyang will basically not stay here until now."

Zhou Heping's brows slowly tightened: "Besides you, how many senior executives are there in your club?"

Soku was silent for a few seconds and crossed his fingers in front of him: "I can't say these things, they are internal matters of our company, and I am only a manager in charge of the old store. Apart from the operation and sales, I basically have no contact. Other senior executives.”

……

In the next room, Wanwan pursed her lips and suddenly said firmly: "He is lying."

Xia Zhihuai touched her head: "Don't talk."

Zhou Heping and Lu Wenjing also knew that Suoku's words were half true and half false, but the problem was that he was very cooperative, and because they could not find other more reliable witnesses, they could not expose his lies.
