"What is this?" Mu Yu looked away and took the box with suspicion.
"I am not sure as well."
Mu Yu took a closer look at the box. It was a rectangular small velvet box that looked very ordinary, with a simple bow tied with a ribbon on the outside.
Untying the bow, she gently opened the box and saw an inconspicuous black pen lying in the box.
"This is a recording pen!" Liu Xiaofan reminded softly.
Recording pen? !
Mu Yu immediately closed the box.
Since it was a voice recorder given by Qin Jinhuan, what was recorded was nothing more than words like he loved her, and she was not in the mood to listen.
"Young Mistress, you..." Cheng Xiang, who noticed a hint of displeasure on Mu Yu's face and wanted to persuade her to listen to what the boss said, immediately fell silent.
Mu Yu casually stuffed the box into his bag, then looked at Liu Xiaofan and asked lightly: "Officer Liu, tell me the information you know about Zhao Yongli and others in Huacheng. I'll see if there is anything I don't know yet." The place."
"Okay." Liu Xiaofan stood up immediately, took out a small folder from his backpack and handed it to her, "I've sorted it out, take a look."
"Thanks."
Mu Yu took the folder and opened it to look at it carefully, mentally comparing the situation he had learned.
After a while, she returned the folder to Liu Xiaofan in disappointment, because for her, there were no clues worth writing in her notebook.
After understanding her expression, Liu Xiaofan sneered awkwardly: "Maybe the collection is not perfect. I will sort it out carefully after arriving in Huacheng."
Mu Yu smiled and nodded slightly, then asked: "Have Captain Guo set off?"
"They set out last night."
"The Hwaseong police should have arranged our accommodation in the past, right? Wouldn't it be awkward for us to live in the same place with them?"
"No. They live in the Municipal Bureau's reception center. In Nanhu, we live in the Royal Hyatt Hotel in East Lake. We are far away from them. Unless we visit the same place and travel the same way to investigate the case, the chance of meeting us is very small."
Huacheng City consists of four county-level cities, namely Xichang, Nansheng, Dongxing and Beirong. The urban area is divided into West Lake District, East Lake District, Nanhu District and Beihu District. Donghu District is the most prosperous area in the city, with businesses and high-end entertainment venues concentrated here. It is the economic center of the city, while Nanhu District is the political center because all municipal departments and agencies are located here.
Mu Yu, who had figured out the situation, questioned: "Isn't Qian Daqing living in the West Lake District? Since we are not staying in the Municipal Bureau Guesthouse, it stands to reason that we should find a hotel in the West Lake District to stay? Why would we choose to stay in such a far away place? "
"That's because..." Liu Xiaofan hesitated. He couldn't tell Mu Yu that it was because Qin Jinhuan didn't like the hotels in West Lake District and insisted on finding the best five-star hotel for Mu Yu in East Lake District.
Cheng Xiang knew the inside story and immediately answered the call and explained: "Xihu District is an old city with too many floating people and poor public security. For safety reasons, Captain Rong and Officer Liu did not arrange for us to live in Xihu District."
Mu Yu still didn't understand: "There's no need to live in East Lake. South Lake and North Lake are also fine. East Lake is the farthest place from West Lake. Isn't it..."
"The supermarket that Zhao Yongli opened six years ago is in East Lake."
Liu Xiaofan's words made Mu Yu swallow back the words "Qin Jinhuan's arrangement" and then changed the question to "Do you know the old address of his supermarket?"
"I know, I went there last time with Captain Rong. At the entrance of the pedestrian street, there is now a breakfast shop. In fact, his supermarket is just a convenience store. It is not big and has two or three shopping guides. Because That small shop changes owners frequently, so none of the nearby shop owners know Zhao Yongli. It took us a lot of effort to find someone who opened a shop nearby at the same time as Zhao Yongli to find out about the breakfast shop. The breakfasts are all local specialties in Huacheng, and they taste pretty good. Do you have a chance to check them out together? ”
Cheng Xiang became interested: "I heard that Huacheng's enema powder with peanut butter is good?"
"That's a perfect match, it's really delicious!" Liu Xiaofan smacked his lips as he spoke, as if he was reminiscing.
Mu Yu suddenly laughed, but also didn't believe it: "Is it too exaggerated? Is it really that delicious?"
Seeing that he had successfully dispelled her doubts and diverted her attention, Liu Xiaofan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a confident smile: "You will know if I am exaggerating if you try it. The Royal Hyatt Hotel where we stayed is not far from the pedestrian street. , it’ll be here in just over ten minutes, why don’t we try it tomorrow morning?”
However, Mu Yu was not very interested in eating at this time, so he declined: "Next time, the investigation is more important. Captain Guo and the others have already arrived half a day earlier than us, and they have more experience than us. Don't let us know everything by then." He had already returned to Ancheng without finding him."
"That's right, it's important to investigate the case. It's important to investigate the case."
Noticing the shameful look on Liu Xiaofan's face, Mu Yu realized that his words were too serious and quickly changed his smile: "Anyway, the breakfast shop is there every day, so you can go there to eat at any time."
"That's right." Liu Xiaofan bared his teeth and said nothing more.
Liu Xiaofan has always been cheerful and fond of joking, but since the Dong Wanqing incident, he has become much quieter. In particular, he didn't dare to face Mu Yu. He always felt uneasy when talking to Mu Yu. However, he had been trying to hide it, trying to make the conversation between him and Mu Yu more relaxed, but somehow the atmosphere changed while he was talking. This made him feel a little frustrated, so he simply tried to keep his words to a minimum. Chance.
Mu Yu, who was already very preoccupied, didn't notice anything strange about Liu Xiaofan. He leaned back on his chair and looked out the window while thinking about where to start investigating the case.
Just thinking about it, her hand unconsciously touched her satchel - the voice recorder Qin Jinhuan gave her was inside.
In fact, she wanted to hear his voice, but she didn't want Cheng Xiang to see her eagerness, because she knew that Cheng Xiang would report every move she made to Qin Jinhuan, and she didn't want Qin Jinhuan to see through that she cared about him very much.
Will he say he loves her in the recorder? Still miss her? Or maybe he told her to pay attention to safety and contact him in time if anything happened? Or should he confess to her about Dong Wanqing
Mu Yu, why do you think so much? No matter what he says now, it is meaningless!
Don't think about anything, just settle down and investigate the case. It's rare that Bureau Gu and Team Rong are so accommodating to let you come to Huacheng. You have to cherish this opportunity to learn and exercise!
After beating herself, her thoughts returned to her original thoughts on the case.
Qian Daqing works as a gangster in Xihu District, Zhao Yongli opens a convenience store in Donghu District, and Li Jianyun runs transportation at the flea market in Beihu...
What happened between them? She firmly believed that there must be an intersection between them.
The fact that they were willing to leave their hometowns showed that this matter was not a trivial matter. Since it was not a trivial matter, there must be no way that no one else knew about it.
If Gong Lilan or Gan Wulin could be found, everything might be clear, and there was no telling where they were hiding.
well…
With a helpless sigh, Mu Yu and his party arrived in Huacheng and successfully contacted the reception staff arranged by the Huacheng police.
Sitting in the car, Mu Yu watched the surrounding scenery with interest.
Compared with Anseong, which has a strong modern atmosphere, Hwaseong is much more elegant. The surrounding buildings and environment tend to be more primitive style, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling, which makes her have the urge to get out of the car and take a walk.
"This place belongs to the Donghu District of Huacheng, which is the most prosperous business district in Huacheng. In front and to the right is the famous food street of Huacheng, and to the left is the pedestrian street. Zhao Yongli's supermarket is over there. The Royal Hyatt Hotel we stayed in is also Go a little further."
Because he had been here several times, Liu Xiaofan was quite familiar with the environment here. He carefully acted as a commentator for Mu Yu and Cheng Xiang along the way. Mu Yu also listened attentively and made notes in his notebook from time to time. mark.
When they entered the lobby of the Royal Hyatt Hotel, Liu Xiaofan and Cheng Xiang each had a car key in their hands. The person who received them said that it was the arrangement of the city bureau, but both Liu Xiaofan and Cheng Xiang knew that this was just for Mu Yu. , because this car was basically arranged by Qin Jinhuan.
After transporting the luggage back to the room, Mu Yu and others took a short rest in the room, and it was lunch time. Looking at the table full of exquisite delicacies, Mu Yu became suspicious again.
"Captain Guo and the others' food at the guest house shouldn't be that good, right?"
Liu Xiaofan, who was having a big meal, was suddenly stunned. Cheng Xiang quickly explained: "This is a meal coupon given by the hotel."
Mu Yu glanced at the dishes and put the chopsticks on the table with a "snap" sound: "It costs at least several thousand to eat this table of dishes in such a high-end hotel, right? What kind of room are we staying in? It's such a gift. The generous meal vouchers? I’m afraid that the cost of staying in the guest house for a month is not worth our meal? Also, I guess Captain Guo and the others can’t enjoy the preferential treatment of one person and one car, right?”
"This is Captain Rong's arrangement. We stayed here last time. Captain Rong paid for it himself. He said it was safe to live here." Liu Xiaofan weakly played Rong Jian's banner. After all, with Rong Jian's family background, he It is not a problem for a group of people to stay in a star-rated hotel.
"Didn't Captain Rong's bank card be confiscated by his parents a year ago? His current identity is just a small criminal police captain, earning a dead salary, and he still has the aura to stay in such a high-end hotel? Unless he There is gray income.”
Because the Rong family's parents insisted on letting Rong Jian marry Meng Sihan and firmly opposed Rong Jian and Feng Rubing's relationship, Rong Jian refused to listen to them. In anger, they froze all the bank cards in his name to force him to comply, but Rong Jian Determined to marry Feng Rubing, in order to prove to her parents that Feng Rubing and she were truly in love, she also refused financial support from Rong Ying, Wen Zeyu and Qin Jinhuan, and lived a life of poverty, refusing to bow to her parents. This deadlock continues to this day.
The words "grey income" touched Liu Xiaofan's sore spot, and he put down his chopsticks in a sullen voice.
Realizing that he had said something wrong, Mu Yu quickly apologized: "Officer Liu, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to make it clear what was going on."
"This is the boss's arrangement." Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Cheng Xiang told the truth and quickly defended Qin Jinhuan, "The boss also cares about you..."
"You tell him: I came to Huacheng just to let him out of my life temporarily. If he insists on infiltrating my life pervasively and does not give me a chance to breathe and calm down, it will only push our marriage to a dead end. I I think this is not the result he wanted." After speaking, Mu Yu walked away.
