Jixiang Fish Restaurant is located in the suburbs of Wangcheng, only five kilometers away from Guo Xing's home. Ten minutes later, You Mingxu and his team arrived.
But the road here is not easy to walk on. It is a narrow path that can only accommodate one car in one direction, and it is all yellow soil. When we arrived at the entrance of the fish restaurant, we saw that it was not a closed environment. There was a sign hanging at the door. There were a few houses inside, and then a few large ponds, all empty. Not far behind is the forest.
You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan looked at each other, which meant that even if something happened here, it would be difficult to find witnesses.
On a weekday afternoon, there was no one fishing in the fish restaurant. Only the boss and his nephew were guarding inside. Xu Mengshan called the boss over and showed him his ID and Guo Xing's photo. The boss recognized him and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, Boss Guo was here the day before yesterday."
"When did you come?"
"It was around 2pm. I don't remember the exact time."
"How did he get here? Did he drive or take a taxi?" Guo Xing didn't have a car in Xiangcheng.
The boss thought for a moment and said, "Take a taxi. The taxi will leave as soon as it reaches the door."
"How many people?"
"Just one person."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, yes. Boss Guo always comes alone. Officer, what happened? Boss Guo is a good person. Nothing will happen to him, right?"
Xu Mengshan didn't answer. Jing Ping patted the boss on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't ask too much. Do you usually have many people fishing in your fish restaurant?"
You Mingxu glanced at Jing Ping. He noticed it and his eyes became a little deeper, but You Mingxu had already looked away.
The boss replied: "It's OK. We can have a few fish on weekends. We mainly rely on fish farming. These ponds are wild ponds. We don't feed them with feed, only cabbage and grains. They are all natural."
In other words, this is indeed a place where few people go.
"What time did Guo Xing leave that day?" Xu Mengshan asked again.
The boss was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "I really didn't notice it. Boss Guo is very generous. I gave him 300 yuan each time and let him catch whatever fish he wanted. I don't know when he left."
The three of them exchanged glances, and Xu Mengshan asked, "Besides Guo Xing, who else came that day? Do you have any records?"
The boss nodded: "Yes! I am used to writing down the accounts every day. I'll go get it."
"Wait a minute." You Mingxu said, "Where did he sit to fish that day?"
The boss thought for a moment and pointed into the distance. It was the farthest fish pond, and there were several dense big trees around it, which blocked the view. From a distance, only a sparkling area could be seen behind the trees.
The boss went to get the account book.
The three of them stood there, looking at the hidden fish pond.
It can now be confirmed that Guo Xing did come to the fish pond that afternoon. But his whereabouts afterwards remained a mystery. In addition, who else had come to the fish pond? Were there any suspicious people inside? Was it related to Guo Xing’s disappearance?
You Mingxu gave Xu Mengshan a look, and he nodded and stayed where he was. You Mingxu and Jing Ping were about to walk towards the fish pond when her cell phone rang.
She glanced at the incoming call, slightly startled, and picked up the phone: "Hello?" Her tone was neither happy nor angry.
Yin Feng on the other end also asked calmly, "Where is it?"
You Mingxu was puzzled: "What does it have to do with you?"
Yin Feng was silent for a second, then said, "I have something to talk to you about."
You Mingxu: "I'm busy investigating a case."
He pretended not to hear me and said, "Send me your location and I'll come find you. It won't hinder your investigation. At most I can help you with the investigation."
You Mingxu hung up the phone directly.
Jingping stood there waiting without saying a word. You Mingxu raised his head: "Let's go."
Jing Ping raised his eyebrows and followed.
