Chapter 178 Golden Phoenix Nightclub
After figuring out all this, Zhou Yi realized a cruel fact.
If you have money in your previous life, you will almost certainly die.
Even if Sun Kun had not intervened, Qian Lailai would have been kidnapped by that group of people.
Even if Liu Jianshe had not stolen the ransom by replacing it with another, and Sun Kun released the person after getting the money, Qian Lailai would still be kidnapped by that group of people.
Unless the target dies early, this professional criminal gang will not return empty-handed.
During the time when Zhou Yi went to the detention center to look for Sun Kun, the command center had arranged for the police station in Su Jun's township to immediately contact Su Jun's family to find out the situation.
The local police learned from his parents that Su Jun had not had a proper job since he was released from prison and had been idling all day.
His parents were worried that he would go back to crime, so they used their connections to arrange for him to work in a factory owned by a distant relative, but the factory was not in the local area.
Su Jun quit after working there for just over four months because he couldn't stand the hardship. He never went home after that, and they didn't know what he was doing specifically.
Later, when Su Jun ran out of money, he would go home and live there for a while, then find various reasons to cheat money from his parents. After getting the money, he would go out and have fun, and when he ran out of money, he would come back again.
His parents were so disappointed with him that they could only let him go. They just hoped that he would not go to jail again.
About two months ago, Su Jun, who was doing nothing at home, went out one day and came back drunk in the evening. He threw several thousand yuan in his parents' faces and said that he earned it himself.
His parents were worried that he had stolen or robbed the money, and kept asking him. Finally, Su Jun said that he had asked Yao Yulin for the money and that she owed him.
The next day, after sobering up, Su Jun left with the money. He returned home about twelve days ago, saying he had met a few bosses who had come to Hongcheng to invest, and they got along very well, so they wanted to take him to other places to do business.
Su Jun's parents were very worried that he would encounter scammers or bad friends, so they reminded him in various ways.
But Su Jun spoke with confidence, saying that those were people doing big business and asked them to stop complaining.
When he left, he left two thousand yuan for his parents, saying that he would come back when he made a lot of money.
The police asked his parents if they knew the information of the bosses Su Jun mentioned, and his parents shook their heads.
One of the policemen was sharp-eyed and noticed a lighter with gorgeous packaging on the dining table in Su Jun's house, which was very inconsistent with the simple environment.
When I picked it up and took a look, I saw a pattern of a sexy beauty in a bikini printed on the front of the lighter, and the words "Golden Phoenix Nightclub" were printed on the other side.
Upon asking, it turned out that it was indeed left behind by Su Jun when he came back last time.
The police from the local police station immediately reported the discovery to the command center. Just as Wu Yongcheng got this clue, Zhou Yi called.
Once the clues on both sides are connected, they become logically aligned.
The bosses Su Jun mentioned were the criminal gang. As for the big business, it was kidnapping and extortion.
Su Jun went home and told his parents that he was going to another place with some bosses, but in fact he was just going to escape with them after committing the crime.
Finding Su Jun became the key.
Wu Yongcheng told Zhou Yi to go to the Golden Phoenix Nightclub immediately. He had already checked the address and found it to be a high-end entertainment venue with a high consumption level. He believed that given Su Jun's financial ability, he could go to such a place. It was likely that this group invited him there, intending to recruit him into the gang.
"Okay, Captain Wu, I'll go now."
"Don't worry about the stolen vehicle for now. I've already arranged for someone from the police station to keep an eye on it."
"good!"
Just as Zhou Yi was about to hang up, Wu Yongcheng said, "Zhou Yi, you have to be careful about this Golden Phoenix Nightclub."
"What's wrong, Captain Wu? Is this nightclub a pornographic place?"
Nightclubs are generally not very clean. Ordinary people go to karaoke bars, which later became KTVs, to sing and party.
Therefore, nightclubs generally involve more pornography, the only difference is whether it is soft pornography or hard pornography.
The soft side is just the edge. Nightclub girls accompany customers to drink and sing, earning appearance fees and tips. Naturally, there is some physical contact involved. As for where you men and women go and what you do outside the door, that is all personal behavior and has nothing to do with the nightclub.
Hard involvement in pornography, of course, is prostitution. Compared to the previous type, this type is the target of the public security organs' crackdown, but at the same time, the nightclubs that engage in this type of business are basically gang-related forces, with extremely strong organized anti-detection capabilities, and will compete with the police in wits and courage.
But no matter which one it is, basically those who can open a nightclub are not ordinary people.
Wu Yongcheng said: "I just looked at the registered company of this nightclub and found that it is Jiang Zhengdao's company."
"Jiang Zhengdao?" Zhou Yi was a little dazed. The name sounded so familiar, but he couldn't remember it at once.
"You don't know Jiang Zhengdao?" Wu Yongcheng was a little surprised. "That's right, I forgot that you only graduated from the police academy half a year ago. When Jiang Zhengdao went into the business world, you were still in middle school."
As soon as Wu Yongcheng said this, Zhou Yi immediately remembered this person.
The former deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, in charge of economic investigation, was also the head of the Municipal Bureau's Economic Investigation Detachment. Zhou Yi remembered that Jiang Zhengdao resigned in 1989 to go into business.
He had never met this man, but heard of him later, because it was extremely rare for someone in his position to resign and start a business.
After Jiang Zhengdao went into business, he did a lot of business. It seemed that he started with coal mining, and later he got involved in more and more businesses.
But unlike Qian Hongxing, a businessman who is purely engaged in industry, Jiang Zhengdao is the kind of person who is involved in both black and white. Many large nightclubs and dance halls in Hongcheng are his properties. Later, he successfully caught the express train of the times and devoted himself to real estate. After 2012, many Zhengdao Plazas appeared in Hongcheng one after another, which are his assets.
Moreover, this person is very close to the leaders above and is a person with great influence in Hongcheng.
Naturally, he is someone Zhou Yi cannot afford to offend.
Wu Yongcheng briefly described Jiang Zhengdao's previous identity and current industry, which was similar to what Zhou Yi remembered.
"Don't worry, Captain Wu. I will proceed with caution at this critical juncture."
…
Zhou Yi drove to the Golden Phoenix Nightclub.
From a distance, you can see the bright lights of the building where the nightclub is located, and the colorful spotlights are constantly swinging towards the sky.
It is full of the vulgar and high-end feeling of this era.
Zhou Yi looked at his watch. It was already past ten o'clock. In Hongcheng in 1997, most people were already going to bed.
But for the people here, the nightlife has just begun.
There were many luxury cars parked outside the nightclub, and more cars kept coming.
Several waiters in stylish uniforms were guiding the car to park. Zhou Yi followed the waiter's gesture and parked the car. Before he could get out, the waiter respectfully opened the car door and bowed with a perfect bow, saying, "Welcome, distinguished guest, to the Golden Phoenix Nightclub. It is an honor to serve you."
Zhou Yi couldn't help but be stunned. Even though he had lived for so many years in his previous life, he had never been to such an occasion alone except for cracking down on pornography and arresting people.
But he immediately realized that because he was driving the nice car given to him by Qian Hongxing, the waiter naturally thought he was a wealthy guest.
"Dear guest, please come this way." The waiter made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Yi then understood why these waiters were guiding the parking. After parking the car, the waiters took the guests directly into the nightclub.
Right above the door of the nightclub is a golden phoenix pattern with spread wings, which is very domineering.
The waiter took Zhou Yi into the magnificent hall, and immediately a waiter wearing a black suit that looked of higher quality came over with a smile.
Compared with the clothes he was wearing, Zhou Yi's coat looked very shabby.
But the waiter did not show any contempt and always had a professional smile on his face.
The waiter who was responsible for guiding the way said "Have a good time tonight" and turned and left. It turned out that he was simply responsible for guiding parking and taking people to the lobby.
Zhou Yi suddenly felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, especially this huge and magnificent hall, which made Zhou Yi a little dazed.
Was it really 1997 that I was reborn? With this level of splendor, he would have believed it if I'd said it was 2017.
It seems that the times only trap ordinary people, not the rich.
"Hello, distinguished guest, welcome to our Golden Phoenix Nightclub. I am your service specialist tonight. You can call me Ajie."
As soon as the man in the black suit finished speaking, Zhou Yi took out his ID from his pocket.
"Hello, I'm a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. Here's my ID."
Zhou Yi thought the other party's expression would change immediately, but he didn't expect that the other party's smile remained unchanged. He just leaned in and looked at Zhou Yi's ID carefully, as if to confirm its authenticity.
"Hello, Officer Zhou, how can I help you?"
"I have a case here, it's very urgent, and I need your help in investigating."
"Could you please tell me what specific assistance you need from us?"
"There's a criminal suspect who once spent money at your place." Zhou Yi looked up at the magnificent lobby, pointed to several cameras, and said, "I need to check your surveillance records."
The man in the black suit thought for a moment and said, "Officer Zhou, please wait a moment. This matter requires the approval of our manager. You can sit down and wait for a moment."
Zhou Yi nodded and walked to the sofa nearby. Immediately, a waitress in a short uniform skirt brought him a cup of tea.
Zhou Yi was really thirsty. He had been running around since he received Qian Hongxing's call. Fortunately, he bought a set of pancakes at a roadside stall, otherwise he would have been starving.
He picked up the cup and took a sip. A refreshing fragrance filled his nose. It was indeed good tea, much better than the tea in the bureau.
After taking two sips, I saw a burly man with a flat head and about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, with his suit open, walking towards me quickly with a smile on his face.
The person hasn't arrived yet, but the hand has already been stretched out.
"Oh, Officer Zhou Yizhou, I'm glad to see you at last."
