The club is open in the evening, and Manager Min happened to be at home in the afternoon.
She lived in a high-end residential area, where the house price was over 100,000 yuan. The property management was very strict, and identity had to be checked before entering the house. Ji Feng showed his ID and asked them about the suspect.
After checking the information, we learned that the house where Manager Min currently lives was registered under her name years ago.
When asked about their impression of Manager Min, everyone in the property management team gave her a favorable comment: "The owner of 1901 is very nice and polite. If we help her with small things, she will come to thank us. Everyone is willing to help her."
"This woman is not simple." Jian Jing said, "I have to take a closer look."
They came to visit without any prior notice, intending to attack by surprise.
Manager Min was at home, cooking. When she saw them coming, she was just surprised: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Ji Feng repeated his statement of cooperating with the investigation.
She seemed to be confused, but still invited them in. Jian Jing looked carefully at the shoe cabinet. There were only women's shoes, but no men's shoes or children's shoes. However, there were several pairs of slippers of different colors.
The room is elegantly and warmly decorated, with fabric sofas, soft lights, lilies and calla lilies in vases, all of which reveal the owner's taste.
Her home outfit is very simple, with a pearl white skirt, her hair tied up with pearl hairpins, and a few strands left on her temples, giving her a gentle Korean style.
Jian Jing praised: "Your skirt is really beautiful, it suits your skin tone very well."
"Thank you." No woman doesn't like compliments, and Manager Min is no exception. She poured lemonade for everyone and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Ji Feng asked: "What kind of person was the deceased?"
Manager Min thought for a moment and replied, "He has a bad temper and scolds people for no reason. Sometimes when he gets angry, his words are very harsh. But compared to my previous boss who was full of flowery words, he has one advantage: he is generous with money."
"Do the people below have complaints against him?"
"Of course there are." Manager Min gave an example, "One of my girls offended a customer and was slapped by her boss. She knelt down and apologized to the customer."
Jian Jing frowned.
Ji Feng asked: "Who has the biggest conflict with him?"
Manager Min shook his head: "I just changed jobs here, so I don't know what's going on in other departments."
"Why did you jump to Jin Cui Hua Palace?" Jian Jing asked suddenly, "Is it because the salary is so high, or is there some other reason?"
Manager Min smiled and calmly replied, "It turns out that the boss of that company plans to replace me with a newcomer. If I don't leave, am I going to be bullied by someone else?"
"Why did you choose this one?"
"The boss likes men, so I will have less trouble." Manager Min moved the flowers in the vase and said calmly, "It's tiring enough to deal with customers on a daily basis, and I have to pretend to be nice to the boss. It's too much trouble."
The reason is very convincing.
Monsoon continued to ask her what she thought of other people as planned.
"I don't know her as a finance person. We don't interact with her much unless it's necessary. It would be bad if the boss knew about it. If you must say, she actually dislikes us and thinks we are not serious people."
"That secretary... I think her name is Nana. She's young and unstable. I don't know where her money goes. One time I heard her on the phone, it seemed like her family was asking her for money. She's really pitiful. People who work in this field rely on their youth. If they don't think about themselves when they're young, they'll have trouble finding someone to marry if they don't have a car or a house when they're older."
"Xiao Qian looks fierce, but he's a nice guy. Sometimes he'll help out when he encounters a difficult customer."
"Brother Zhao..." Manager Min hesitated for a moment when talking about him, and said, "I don't know if you have heard from anyone that, in fact, Jin Cuihua Palace originally belonged to Brother Zhao."
This is really new news.
Ji Feng said: "Please look carefully."
"I just heard it from others. If I'm wrong, don't blame me."
"certainly."
Manager Min recalled carefully and said slowly: "In the past, Jin Cui Hua Palace was just a small club, the kind I had never heard of, and the business was not as big as it is now. The people who came were all kinds of people, and it was inevitable that something would go wrong. Later, I don’t know who reported it, and it was directly closed down. In order to avoid going bankrupt, Brother Zhao had to sell the club, and then the current boss took over."
"Actually, I'm quite surprised that Brother Zhao is still here. Maybe he has feelings for this place and can't bear to leave." She hinted, "Maybe it's because of money, I don't know the details."
Ji Feng nodded: "Thank you for your cooperation. This is very helpful to us."
"That's good."
It took a total of four minutes from entering the door to asking questions, and I gained a lot.
People sat in the car, enjoying the air conditioning and exchanging ideas with each other.
Jian Jing said: "On the surface, none of the three had any connection with the deceased, but Manager Min is more suspicious."
They asked three people about other people's situations. However, asking for information was secondary, and observing attitude was real. Although the secretary provided the contradiction between Tan Hao and the deceased, the core was still focused on Xiao Tan himself.
There is nothing wrong with the attitude of the finance department. It is normal for people to have opinions about things behind their backs.
Manager Youmin clearly provided the motives of Director Zhao.
She may have good intentions, may have done it unintentionally, or may have other intentions.
"I'll check on them first when I get back." Ji Feng said.
Jian Jing said: "Add another security captain."
"What do you mean?"
"Just check it out," she said. "I want to know if there is any connection between the first person who discovered it and the three women that has not been discovered yet."
Ji Feng understood: "Your assumption is quite bold."
"The most unlikely guess may be the simplest answer." She thought about it and said, "Is Jin Cui Hua Palace open at night? I want to take a look."
"It should be open today." Ji Feng looked at her and smiled, "But they may not let you in."
Jian Jing knew that some clubs played by the rules and did not accept female customers, but it didn't matter: "I have a way."
As night fell and the lights came on, the Jincuihua Palace was filled with luxury cars.
Jian Jing took a taxi and went straight to the gate as if nothing had happened.
The security guard at the gate stopped her dutifully and asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Can't I go in?" Jian Jing was very surprised.
The security guard replied: "Sorry, we don't accept female guests. If you are here with friends, please tell us the room number and we will verify it and take you through."
Jian Jing raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
At this time, a middle-aged man was about to enter the room. He glanced at her and said with a smile, "This lady came with me."
The security guard looked at Jian Jing with a subtle expression: "Are you together?"
Jian Jing said: "Yes."
The security guard stepped aside.
The man put his arm around her shoulders, walked in with her, and asked with a smile, "Who are you looking for, miss? Girls are not allowed in here. Do you want to come over to my place and have a drink first?"
"Let go." Jian Jing said.
The man was unwilling to let go. The young girl's skin was as smooth as silk, and it felt soft and tender when touched. He smiled and said, "You are just pretending. You just want to sneak in and pick up some rich guys..."
Before he could finish his words, his throat was already tightly compressed by her, his trachea was instantly restricted and he couldn't breathe.
His face suddenly turned red.
"What did you say just now?" Jian Jing used her strength to pinch his throat skillfully to avoid leaving handprints. "Say it again for me."
The man looked fierce but was actually weak: "What do you want to do?"
"If you continue to hinder me from catching an adulterer, I'll make you suffer." She withdrew her hand and said coldly, "Get lost."
"Huh, do you think I'm afraid?" The man pretended to be strong, but he began to back down in his heart.
He was just an ordinary rich kid who was used to spending money on girls. Now that he met someone who would do it directly, he would be lying if he didn't panic. But he couldn't bear to let her go like this: "Who would believe you in such a place?"
Jian Jing didn't expect to be so unlucky to meet a fool who couldn't get rid of him. She had no choice but to pretend to be arrogant and said, "Do you know who I am?"
How could a man know? But he was scared.
People who dare to say this usually have a backer.
"Be smart, or you'll be in trouble." Her acting skills were very useful in this situation. The more aggressive she was, the more nervous he became. "Did you hear me?"
Jian Jing stared at him.
"Damn it, it's my bad luck." The man said with all his strength and turned away.
The steps are slightly messy.
Jian Jing was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked in the opposite direction.
High-end clubs usually don't have surveillance cameras inside to avoid exposing guests' privacy. She walked in openly, looking like a legitimate guest. When people saw her, they thought she was a guest's female companion and didn't look at her for long.
It took some effort for Jian Jing to find Manager Min at work.
She looked very beautiful today, wearing a light grey tube-top dress, delicate and gentle makeup, and a timeless bean paste lip gloss. Although the other girls were younger and even prettier than her, her temperament was unique.
The guests liked her very much, and people kept greeting her and inviting her to drink. Her colleagues also greeted her with a smile, and she seemed to have a very good relationship with people.
And who is closest to her is none other than the person in charge, Brother Zhao.
The two chatted for a long time at the corner of the stairs. Brother Zhao's hand was still on her shoulder, occasionally sliding down for a while.
"Brother Zhao, the boss is gone, you should focus more on the club." Manager Min sighed and advised tactfully, "It doesn't matter where I go, the customers follow me, what about you?"
Brother Zhao's face fell, and he muttered, "What else do you want from me? I don't know how many people have asked me about this today. How can I do this?"
"Who will take over in the future?" Manager Min asked bluntly, "Are you sure?"
"To be honest, I do have some ideas. After all..." He hesitated and lowered his voice, "Do you think I can get it?"
Manager Min smiled indifferently: "As long as you have money, then yes."
"It's not suitable." Brother Zhao rubbed his hands and smiled, "Minmin, I know you are wealthy, how about being the boss lady of the club?"
Manager Min smiled and said, "You wouldn't have been thinking about this forever, would you?"
"We are not young anymore, we have to go ashore. I don't despise you." Brother Zhao said sincerely, "Please think about it carefully."
Manager Min was ambivalent: "Wait until you take over the club."
"I'm 80% sure about this." Brother Zhao boasted, "Just wait and see."
Manager Min was surprised: "Sure, Lao Zhao, you have a solution in just a few days?"
"Of course I've been thinking about it before... Ahem." He seemed to realize he had said something wrong and quickly stopped talking, "Well, you'll know when the time comes."
The voices of the two people talking were very low, but Jian Jing turned on the five sense cards and still heard most of it.
She edited the text message and sent it to Ji Feng telling him what she heard.
Keep staring.
Then came the peak period of the club's business. Customers kept coming in. Brother Zhao was very busy. Manager Min had no time to rest. Captain Qian directed his security guards to run around, and he had only met them a few times.
After 1am, the crowds thinned out and the guests dispersed.
Jian Jing saw that Brother Zhao was hugging a girl and entered the office. Manager Min changed out of her work tube dress, put on her plain and conservative shirt and knee-length skirt, and asked Captain Qian to call a taxi for her.
"Let me take you there." The security captain was obviously no exception and was very attentive to the beauty.
Manager Min refused: "Just call a car for me, you go do your own thing, I'm fine."
The security captain had better step back.
After 12 minutes, Ji Feng picked up the sleepy Jian Jing and asked her, "What did you gain?"
"And you?"
"Zhao has shady dealings. He has a huge amount of income in his account every month, and I don't know where it came from. I suspect there is something wrong with the club's accounts."
Jian Jing pondered and said, "If the deceased had noticed his actions, it would have been a strong motive for murder, but he was the first person to discover it, so he didn't have the time to commit the crime."
"This is the key." Ji Feng looked at her and smiled, "Teacher Jian, your time is up - what is going on in this secret room?"
