On October 27, 3020, outside the Braun bar, a black car slowly approached and parked in the designated parking area. Jiang Chengyan and Su Ke got out of the car one after another.
Looking at the sign of the bar, Su Ke said with a smile, "This is different from an ordinary bar, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"It's different? What's the difference? Isn't it all here to get drunk?" Jiang Chengyan said disapprovingly.
"What's the difference, you'll find out later. Let's go, let's go in." Su Ke walked to the door first.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyan hurriedly followed, but was stopped by the security guard at the door.
"The two gentlemen stay, please show your membership card."
Su Ke took out his mobile phone from his pocket, showed his electronic membership card, and said lightly, "He's my friend, it's the first time he's here."
The security let out the door and said with a smile, "You two, please come in."
The two entered the door of the bar, Jiang Chengyan bumped into Su Ke's arm, and said softly, "Su Ke, if there are no members, is it really not allowed to enter?"
Su Ke nodded and said, "The homosexual group is not very popular. Under the pressure of parents and society, many people have to choose to hide it, or even marry a woman. Only in such a private bar can they feel at ease and get drunk."
Jiang Chengyan asked curiously, "Then what do you do with your membership card?"
"A friend brought me here. If a new face wants to be in the bar, it has to be brought in by a member."
"So it is."
The two walked through a long corridor, and when they turned in, they heard soft and soothing music. Under the dim light, the rows of seats were far apart. In addition, the sofa had a high backrest. You can't hear what other people are saying, and the privacy is very good. There is a bar in the center of the hall, and there are a few people sitting on it, far apart from each other, with wine glasses in their hands, but their eyes are looking around.
Su Ke and Jiang Chengyan walked straight to the bar, and the bartender greeted him warmly: "Mr. Su, long time no see."
Su Ke said in surprise, "I've only been here once, but I didn't expect you to remember me."
The bartender looked at Jiang Chengyan, his eyes flashed with amazement, and he said, "To do our business, we must not only have good skills, but also have a good memory. Not to mention, Mr. Su is such a handsome guy, it's hard to remember."
Seeing that although the bartender was talking to him, his eyes looked at Jiang Chengyan from time to time, Su Ke smiled and said, "Give us two glasses of orange juice."
"Orange juice?" The bartender was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and said, "Okay, you two wait a moment."
Jiang Chengyan didn't find it strange, after all, they might have to go back to work overtime at night. He looked around, checking the location of the surveillance probe.
Soon the bartender put the freshly squeezed orange juice in front of the two of them and said with a smile, "The orange juice for the two of you, please use it slowly."
Jiang Chengyan took a sip, put down the cup, took out the photo of Jiang Changping from his pocket, handed it to the bartender, and said, "Do you know this person?"
The bartender took the photo and looked at it, and said, "I don't know."
"You have such a good memory. You can remember him once you've seen him. He is a frequent visitor. How could you not know him? Let's take a closer look."
The bartender said with some embarrassment: "Sir, we have regulations here, and we are not allowed to disclose the information of the guests to anyone, otherwise my job will be lost."
While the two were talking, a man in a suit came over, sat down beside Jiang Chengyan, and said with a smile, "This handsome guy, can I buy you a drink?"
Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, aware of the man's unscrupulous eyes, and frowned slightly. Before he could speak, he heard Su Ke say with a smile, "Sorry, this gentleman, he is mine."
Seeing that Jiang Chengyan didn't refute, the man said regretfully, "That bothers me."
Jiang Chengyan did not refute, it was entirely because he was stunned by Su Ke's words. Seeing the man leave, Jiang Chengyan said softly, "Su Ke, what do you mean?"
Su Ke's eyes flashed, and he explained, "Everyone who has company will go to the booth. Only single people will sit at the bar. That person is obviously interested in you. I'm helping you out."
Jiang Chengyan looked at the man again, and sure enough, he saw him sitting back in his original position, but he always looked towards him. Although Jiang Chengyan felt a little weird, he didn't take it to heart. He took out his credentials, looked at the bartender and said, "I'm a policeman and I'm investigating the case. I hope you can cooperate."
The bartender was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said, "Then I'll ask the boss for instructions, you wait a moment."
The bartender stepped aside, took out his mobile phone and made a call, his voice was so low that he couldn't make out what he was saying, but Jiang Chengyan didn't care. The bartender hung up the phone, walked over and said, "I've met this man, surnamed Jiang, who came here often a year ago, but he didn't come often since, probably because he found a partner."
Jiang Chengyan's eyes lit up and he said, "Then do you remember who he had a conversation with, or with whom?"
"We receive a lot of guests every day. I remember him because he is a frequent visitor. As for who he is with, I really don't know."
Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly, and then asked, "Do you remember when he last came to the bar?"
"The last time..." The bartender thought about it and said, "It was about two months ago, I can't remember the exact date. He seemed to be in a bad mood that day, and he sat at the bar and drank a lot until we After closing, he left drunk."
"Two months ago? How long will the surveillance video be kept here?"
The bartender said apologetically, "I don't know about this, so I have to ask the boss. In fact, I wasn't on duty that day. The reason why I knew that he had been there was because I heard from a colleague. He said that Mr. Jiang had a conflict with others that day, and it was the boss himself. dealt with."
"Is your colleague at work today?"
"He left a month ago."
"Then what's his name, do you have his contact information?"
"His name is Zhang Hua, and his phone number is..." The bartender picked up his phone and looked for it, "188****5619. We haven't contacted him since he left, and we don't know if he changed his number."
Jiang Chengyan saved the number and then asked, "Is your boss there?"
"The boss is usually not in the store. If you want to find him, I can contact you."
"Then you can call him, I have something to call him."
"Wait." The bartender picked up the phone and made a call. After connecting, he said a few words, and then handed the phone to Jiang Chengyan.
"Hello, I'm Changjiang Chengyan of Huacheng Criminal Investigation Team. Are you the owner of Braun Bar?"
"Hello, Team Jiang, I am, what are you looking for from me?" The voice sounded quite gentle and magnetic.
"How long will the surveillance video of your bar be kept?"
"Half a year, it will be automatically deleted after half a year."
"Then I want to check the surveillance video."
"Sorry, Team Jiang, I'm not in Hwaseong right now. I can't be back until the day after tomorrow. If you want to watch it, come back during business hours the day after tomorrow."
"Is that so?" Jiang Chengyan paused, then asked, "Then do you remember Jiang Changping?"
"Jiang Changping?" The other party was silent for a while, and said, "Sorry, there are many guests in our bar, and I don't remember everyone."
"Two months ago, he had a conflict with a guest at the bar, or you handled it, don't you remember?"
"Two months ago..." The other party was silent for a while again, and said, "I really want to have some impressions of Jiang's saying this, but I only remember his surname Jiang. Did something happen to him?"
"It is inconvenient to disclose the case, so we will trouble the boss the day after tomorrow."
"You're welcome, it should be."
Jiang Chengyan hung up the phone, handed the phone to the bar, and said, "Thank you, let's settle the bill."
The bar smiled and said, "Team Jiang is welcome. Leave your contact information if it's convenient. If I think of anything, I can contact Team Jiang at any time."
Just as Jiang Chengyan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Su Ke. He smiled and said, "****7031, call this number if you think of anything."
The bartender who entered the number asked awkwardly, "This is?"
"This is the phone number from the team. He is a criminal policeman. He often goes out to work, and sometimes it is inconvenient to answer the phone." Su Ke smiled and then said, "Let's settle the bill."
The two settled the bill and turned to leave the bar.
Su said jokingly, "Team Jiang, it's alright. After a long time, we hired two people."
"Two people?" Jiang Chengyan was at a loss for a moment, then said: "You mean that the bartender also..."
Su Ke said funny: "What do you think? Would normal straight men come to work here?"
Thinking of the scene of the two men in the booth unintentionally kissing, Jiang Chengyan nodded in agreement and said, "I finally understand what you mean by the difference now."
Su Ke looked at him helplessly, and he didn't want to say anything more about Jiang Chengyan's dullness.
"Let's go, I'll take you home." Jiang Chengyan didn't notice Su Ke's emotions at all.
Looking at Jiang Chengyan's back, Su Ke shook his head with a wry smile and followed.
Half an hour later, the car drove to the gate of Su Ke's community. Su Ke turned to look at Jiang Chengyan and said, "Why don't you go up and sit down?"
"No, I have to go back to the team."
"Okay, then don't be too late." The identity of the deceased was finally determined. With Jiang Chengyan's workaholic nature, it was impossible for him to get home from get off work on time. Su Ke knew very well, so he didn't bother.
Jiang Chengyan agreed, and after Su Ke got out of the car, he drove back to the police station. After parking the car, Jiang Chengyan looked at the time, then looked at the grocery store opposite, and muttered in a low voice, "There's still half an hour, will it be bad if it passes now?"
After wandering around the gate of the police station for a few laps, Jiang Chengyan still took a step towards the opposite side.
Because Wang Lei was sent by Ling Huaan to stalk Li Qiuran, Ling Huaan, who was blind, had to hire a part-time job. He was a third-year student at Longcheng University, named Sun Ming.
"Boss, there seems to be a man peeping outside the door." Sun Ming whispered in Ling Hua'an's ear.
Ling Huaan didn't speak, turned around and walked out of the cashier, opened the store door, and said, "Team Jiang, come in."
Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I just arrived too..."
