Chapter 66: Liu Hong was robbed by a jerk named Su! …
"Where did you find it? I don't know. I really don't know..."
"Not sure? You've already gone with him to look for the lady, and you still don't know?"
“I, I, I…”
"I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise you will be punished for multiple crimes and you will suffer!"
"Here, I, oh!" The other party was vague: "Then where can we go? Isn't it just some... foot washing and massage places..."
"...Where exactly is it? It's on that street in the south, isn't it full of them..."
"Which store does Su Jinfu often go to? I'm not sure. I just go there occasionally! I'm not like him. When he has money in his pocket, he either plays cards or looks for women. I guess he has slept with all the women on that street..."
"Comrade police officer, I didn't lie! I really didn't lie this time! I told you everything I know, and I really don't know anything else..."
…
"Where did you find women? Anyway, the only time he and I went was at Fangfang Foot Massage Shop... There should be other hair salons and other places, but I don't know..."
…
"Su Jinfu often stays out all night. I wonder which woman he is fooling around with... Is there any woman he has a particularly good relationship with? I'm not sure about that. I can't crawl under her bed and watch her, right..."
"But he goes to that street quite often. If you ask their boss lady, she should know him..."
…
"Have you ever brought anyone back? Probably not! You have to pay extra for bringing back women from those shops. It doesn't matter where you work, so why spend so much extra money..."
…
After a round of questioning, everyone looked at the information they had collected and slowly analyzed it:
"There is a street called Osmanthus Flower on Yungang Road, which is dotted with various massage parlors and bathhouses. On the surface, they are doing legitimate business, but in fact they are secretly engaged in the pornography industry and organize women to engage in prostitution."
"As long as Su Jinfu has money in his pocket, he will go there every ten days or half a month. He doesn't care which store it is, he will go if he likes it."
"Apart from gambling, most of his money should be spent on this."
Jiang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at everyone: "So what should we do next? Check those stores one by one?"
Yue Lingchuan nodded: "Who did Su Jinfu offend? Why did his mood change so abruptly during that period? He wouldn't tell his coworkers and neighbors, but he might not be so cautious with these women."
Shen Qingye looked at the clues on the notebook, remembered what Mr. Men said, and pursed her lips slightly.
I hope I can get relevant clues from these people.
Shen Qingye asked: "Shall we go now?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at her with a slightly strange look on his face, and said, "That kind of place usually opens at night. It's only a little after six o'clock now, so it's still early."
He paused and said, "But...Xiao Shen should not participate in the action later."
Shen Qingye was startled and looked up at him: "Why?"
Jiang Cheng's eyes showed a faint smile: "If we go to that kind of place, and you, a girl, follow us, who would believe that we are going there for fun?"
Shen Qingye said, "Then I can choose not to go with you. Those massage parlors don't say they only accept male customers, right?"
Jiang Cheng paused after hearing this. Yue Lingchuan glanced at her, was silent for a while, and said, "Then come along."
"With a female comrade here, maybe we can find another way in. It will also be easier to interrogate him then."
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything then.
It was still early and the shops were not open yet. Yue Lingchuan was just looking for a place to fill his stomach when the phone suddenly rang again.
He looked down at the number: "Hello, Lao Zhou."
Shen Qingye looked up and heard Zhou Qiming's distorted voice on the other end of the phone:
"We have just interrogated all the people that Su Jinfu owed money to. The current result is that those people all went home after get off work yesterday. A few of them went out to eat before going home, and there are people who can prove it. In addition, the money they lent to Su Jinfu before was relatively small, only a few hundred yuan, so they would not kill for such money. And judging from their body shapes, they don't seem like they can beat Su Jinfu into the black and blue face you described. So our preliminary judgment is that the murderer should not be among these people."
"We interviewed other people, and they all said they didn't know who else Su Jinfu had offended. The only unusual thing was the period of time he was suddenly in a good mood as mentioned earlier."
"We can't find any clues here for the time being."
Yue Lingchuan's brows were calm: "Okay, I get it. We have a clue here. You guys come over first, let's have a meal and discuss it together."
Zhou Qiming quickly responded with a "OK".
A group of people went downstairs and randomly found a restaurant downstairs. When I went in, I found that it was full and there were quite a few people.
The atmosphere in the store was noisy, with a group of grown men eating, drinking, chatting and bragging. Yue Lingchuan's heart moved, and he looked at Jiang Cheng, thinking that perhaps he could get some information from here.
The boss's seven or eight-year-old daughter was doing her homework at the counter. She looked up and saw them. She hurried forward and greeted them crisply, "Boss, how are you?"
Shen Qingye looked down at the little girl and said, "There are six of us in total. Is there any room left?"
The little girl looked around the room and said, "There is another square table. It might be a bit crowded for six people to sit at it. Do you want it?"
Shen Qingye glanced at Yue Lingchuan and said, "Yes."
The little girl immediately laughed and greeted sweetly, "Sister, uncle, follow me!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingchuan's eyebrows immediately raised.
Sister, uncle?
How did he become an uncle?
He glanced at Shen Qingye. The girl had fair skin and lively eyes. She looked young indeed, but he wasn't old either, right?
The little girl ran to the counter and took out a menu. "Sister, here's the menu. We can cook all the dishes on it!"
Shen Qingye ordered a few dishes at random and passed them to Yue Lingchuan. Yue Lingchuan opened his mouth and ordered a few more dishes. The little girl listened and took notes, blinking and said, "Uncle, we have beer here, do you want some?"
The veins on Yue Lingchuan's forehead jumped: "No."
The little girl said "oh" and ran to the kitchen to hand the menu to her father. She then sat back behind the counter and while doing her homework, she would look up from time to time and secretly glance at Shen Qingye.
She thought her movements were subtle and unnoticeable to others, but Shen Qingye was very observant and smiled at her when she looked up for the eleventh time.
The little girl's face turned red quickly, and she quickly buried herself in the homework room, not daring to look up again.
There was a hint of smile in Shen Qingye's eyes.
Yue Lingchuan, who was standing by, watched and felt more and more depressed. He couldn't help but ask Jiang Cheng: "Do I look old?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said, "You're almost thirty, and you still want a little girl to call you brother?"
Yue Lingchuan choked. That's not what he meant, it's just...
With a sister and an uncle, he seemed much older than Shen Qingye.
Yue Lingchuan tilted his head back to drink water. Jiang Cheng looked at him, then looked at the quiet and gentle girl next to him, and just found it a little funny.
·
While waiting for the food, Yue Lingchuan and the others only exchanged a few words in a low voice, and the rest of the time they pricked up their ears to listen to the loud conversations of the people around them.
They complain about which construction site's boss is a bad person, complain about how the contractor is incompetent, and say that the salary was so-so last month, and that this project is about to be finished, and it seems that other places still need people...
He then talked about his family, his young children, his tigress-like wife, and after complaining for a while, he turned around and said that it was not easy for her to take care of the elderly and children at home...
Some people were talking about how much they lost playing cards last time, and they were going to get together again tonight to see if they could win it back, etc...
During this period, Zhou Qiming and others also rushed over. Yue Lingchuan made a gesture to them, and they sat down quietly. The two sides exchanged some clues with each other, and the dishes were served one by one.
They ate slowly and without making any noise, forming a quiet corner that was hardly noticed in the noisy little shop.
The guests around came one after another, and Yue Lingchuan and others had been sorting out the information they had heard. Finally, when they had eaten their fill and their plates were empty, another group of guests arrived.
They were very loud and started chatting after they sat down. One man said:
"Hey, I've been busy all day, and my waist is almost broken. Let's go get a massage after dinner."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingye raised his eyes and looked at Yue Lingchuan and others, then pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
"Okay, go and relax. I've been working on it for the past two days and my whole body is so stiff."
"Hey, do you want to get a massage to relax, or find a woman to have sex with?"
A group of people burst into laughter. The man who had just spoken cursed, "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? I'll get a massage first, and then have some fun in bed. Is that not okay?"
"Okay, okay, why not? Come to think of it, I haven't been able to relax for a long time."
"Meichun hasn't seen me for half a month. She must be missing me!"
One person sneered, "You still want to harm me? You're almost there! You're a heartless bitch. I'm just playing around. I can sleep with anyone. Do you really think you're the only one?"
"Go, you're the one who's talking too much?" The man looked unhappy: "Meichun is different from the others!"
"Haha, it's different, it's different!"
"Come to think of it, Zhao Meichun isn't that pretty, and her figure isn't as good as Dongxia's. Why are you so obsessed with her?"
"Hey, isn't she good in bed?" One of them winked and said ambiguously: "Lao Zhang, tell us, how is she in bed? Does she scream sexy?"
"Slut your mother!" the man cursed, and warned: "I tell you, you can't snatch it from me when the time comes!"
"Lao Zhang, the more you act like this, the more curious we become! How about we play together tonight? I want to have a taste of what you've been thinking about so much."
"Hahaha, good idea, let's try it! Let's play together!"
The words on the other end were becoming more and more explicit. Yue Lingchuan frowned and glanced at Shen Qingye. He saw that the girl looked relatively calm. She was eating a peanut slowly.
Yue Lingchuan's expression eased a little.
The topic over there was still going on. Lao Zhang's face turned red. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
Finally, the man who spoke first knocked on the table and said, "Alright, let's see what you have accomplished!"
"Aren't all women the same? I don't believe that Zhao Meichun and Dongxia are that good. If you ask me, Liu Hongcai from that store is really a top-notch girl. Her breasts, waist, legs, and butt, wow, wow, wow, it's exciting just to think about it..."
"Liu Hong is a top-notch girl, everyone knows that. But her appearance fee is high, just like the courtesan in ancient times!"
"That being said, if I could sleep with a woman like that, my life would be worth it!"
"Brother Huang has been thinking about Liu Hong for a long time!"
"That's right! A few days ago, our Huang finally made up his mind to have a taste of her, but what happened? Damn it, she was snatched away by a jerk named Su!"
Shen Qingye on the other side paused when he heard this, then slowly raised his eyelashes and looked at everyone.
Your last name is Su?
Su Jinfu?
