Gu Chen carefully observed the tall and thin old man in front of him, wearing an old blue uniform, and music was playing on his cell phone at the moment.
He also checked the time on his phone, and was about to stand up and walk out of the house, but ran into Gu Chen and the others head-on.
The old man also stared blankly, and asked curiously, "Comrade policeman, what do you have to do?"
"Are you Uncle Zhong?" Gu Chen walked into the office and also reported his family name: "Hi Uncle Zhong, I'm Gu Chen from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. I have something to trouble you for."
"I'm a bad old man, what do you want me for? How can I help you?" The old man said with a strong tone, and seemed to have a high tone.
Lu Weiwei grinned, and quickly flattered her: "No one in Fenggu Street knows about it. If you have anything to ask Uncle Zhong, that will do."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I still have to go around the street, if you have anything to do, just talk about it."
I also saw the police coming here, maybe something really bothered me.
So Uncle Zhong sat back in his seat, but Uncle Zhong didn't make a cup of tea for the police like the people he met before.
Things like politeness don't seem to happen with Uncle Zhong.
But Gu Chen came here for the purpose of finding that woman, so Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, and directly clicked on his mobile phone photo album, and showed one of the surveillance screenshots in front of Uncle Zhong and said:
"We are looking for this woman. She may be involved in a murder case, but according to the information we have so far, after she finally got off the car here, she disappeared."
"Our police are currently unable to find her whereabouts, so we came to Fenggu Street to inquire."
"I also heard that in this Fenggu Street, as long as you look for Uncle Zhong, you can do nothing wrong."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said politely again: "So, we came here specially to find you, hoping to find out some information about this woman's whereabouts from you."
Taking Gu Chen's mobile phone, Uncle Zhong held it in his hand and looked at it, but said helplessly:
"Comrade policeman, you can't see the face of the woman in the picture you provided. How can I help you?"
"Even if I want to help you, at least you have to let me know what this woman looks like?"
"Uncle Zhong." Seeing that Uncle Zhong had a temper, Yuan Shasha hurriedly explained: "Isn't it, the other party deliberately wrapped herself tightly, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"If you can't find her, maybe this murder case is very troublesome. We have no other choice. We just want to see if we can find out from you. Yesterday morning, she was wearing this dress and appeared at this girl on Fenggu Street. woman."
"You have a high reputation in this street, so there must be a way to mobilize all the small businesses and hawkers here, and let them help together?"
It was also said by Yuan Shasha that Uncle Zhong seemed a little proud.
After all, on this street, one's authority lies there.
It can be said that Uncle Zhong belongs to the type of people who take root in Fenggu Street.
Now that even the police have something to ask of him, Uncle Zhong is somewhat complacent.
Seeing the four of them standing opposite each other with sincere faces, Uncle Zhong also picked up his thermos, took a sip, and said:
"Okay, I'll look for it for you, of course, I don't care if I can't find it."
"Okay, as long as you say it." Seeing that Uncle Zhong was willing to help, Police Officer Wang felt like watching a show, and wanted to see if the Uncle Zhong that everyone said was really so smart?
Uncle Zhong picked up his phone and started shaking people.
After a while, two urban management guys in uniform ran up to him.
"Uncle Zhong, what's the matter?"
"Send this photo to the group and ask to see who saw her yesterday morning."
"In addition, you are now using a printer to print out the color picture of this photo. When I am inspecting, every merchant will ask."
"If anyone has seen this woman, please notify me immediately."
"No problem." Another urban management officer picked up his phone, just in time to receive a picture from Uncle Zhong.
The guy immediately turned around, came to a corner of the office, started to operate the computer, and printed out the color pictures on A4 paper.
After a while, the urban management guy came to Uncle Zhong and asked for instructions: "Uncle Zhong, do you think this will work?"
"Okay, hurry up and do it, the police comrades are still waiting here, and besides, print some more for me."
"Understood." With Uncle Zhong's instructions, this group of people worked quite efficiently.
After the printer printed out the color pictures, the two also started group posting in groups of many merchants, and attached questions.
After completing the operation, the two quickly walked out of the office.
"Why don't we go help too?" Gu Chen asked.
Uncle Zhong waved his hand, pointed to the old sofa on one side, and said, "You don't need to go, they know this place the most, so letting them ask is much more efficient than yours."
"But there are multiple people and multiple helpers, isn't it?" Lu Weiwei also put forward her own opinion.
But Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Little sister, let me tell you, there are hundreds of vendors in Fenggu Street, and they only recognize us who wear urban control uniforms."
"Go to the police and ask. It's not bad if people don't dislike you and delay their business."
"After all, now is the time to set up stalls. Many people only do night market business. The turnover at night determines their daily income."
Taking a deep breath, Uncle Zhong lit a cigarette and said calmly:
"So, if you ask, people will dislike you. If you leave it to them to ask, no matter how busy they are, these people will be polite."
"It is an honor for these small traders to be able to help us with things and be able to help."
"Is it that exaggerated?" The more Lu Weiwei listened, the more she felt that Uncle Zhong seemed to be bragging.
Suddenly, I felt that my police uniform couldn't compare to the city control uniform?
But doubts belong to doubts, at least Uncle Zhong has his own set of arguments.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Uncle Zhong is willing to help, which is enough.
Uncle Zhong also pressed his hand, and said involuntarily: "You guys should sit down for a while, an hour at most, and see if anyone has seen this person before."
"Okay, then thank you, Uncle Zhong." I feel that this old man seems to have a natural temperament of a big brother, and he is also dragging when he speaks.
Even in the face of the police, he was calm and calm.
It can be seen that Uncle Zhong has seen the world.
And Gu Chen also inquired about Uncle Zhong from those vendors just now.
I also know that this street was shot down by Uncle Zhong, and it was also preserved by Uncle Zhong.
Therefore, almost everyone who does business here listens to Uncle Zhong.
And the cute new urban managers under Uncle Zhong also represent Uncle Zhong.
Therefore, these people will not be perfunctory when Uncle Zhong speaks, which is why Uncle Zhong asked these people to go over and ask questions.
Seeing all kinds of vacant wine bottles behind Uncle Zhong, Gu Chen asked curiously, "Uncle Zhong likes to drink?"
"That's right." Uncle Zhong also followed Gu Chen's gaze and glanced at the direction behind him.
It seems that Gu Chen has something to say, and Uncle Zhong, as an old Jianghu here, will not be unclear.
So he laughed and said: "I usually like to put all kinds of messy things in this room."
"Anyway, no one at the top cares about me. As long as I manage the street well and pay the sanitation fee in full every month, the leaders don't care about my fault."
"I'm talking about it. I've been used to it for so many years. Drinking is indispensable. Anyway, there are vendors here, big and small."
"As long as I'm off work, as long as I have time, they will pull me in for a drink."
"Then it seems that Uncle Zhong is really popular here?" Yuan Shasha felt the need to praise her.
But Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "They didn't welcome me, they were afraid of me."
"Afraid of you?" Officer Wang was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, you are the manager. How can these people not be afraid of you?"
"Of course." Uncle Zhong took a sip of water and said leisurely:
"Because, since I started to manage this street, this night market, I have experienced various conflicts."
"But in the end, I settled them one by one, so these people are afraid of me. In addition to my reputation since I was young, many of them are old neighbors."
"And they all know me. Even if I drink with you tonight, but tomorrow you don't manage well, I will still scold you bloody."
"My temper is just like this. I'm quite irritable, but there's nothing I can do about it. I signed an agreement with the boss. I'm the guarantor for this street."
Listening to Uncle Zhong's dictation, everyone looked at each other.
In the remarks of the straw hat uncle before, he had indeed heard that Uncle Zhong followed up and tried to save Fenggu Street.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Uncle Zhong went on to explain, "Because owning a stall on this street means making a fortune. As long as the product isn't too bad, you can make money."
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhong began to gesture with his hands again: "For example, there is a sister Zhao here, who was considered a wealthy family back then, but later she participated in gambling, lost all her belongings, and owed more than one million yuan."
"But since she set up a stall here to engage in barbecue at the night market, she has now paid off her debts and made a lot of money."
"So much money?" Officer Wang was stunned when he heard this, and said involuntarily:
"I only knew before that the old street is very popular, but I never thought that it would make so much money?"
"Haha." Seeing Police Officer Wang's appearance of having never seen the world, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but shook his head and complained:
Read it for free
"It's nothing? If this street doesn't make money, why has it been a place of mixed fish and dragons for decades?"
"It's because it's so profitable here. Many small businesses and hawkers have been operating here for many years, buying cars and houses in various ways."
"So everyone is very grateful, and also thank me for being able to manage this street in an orderly manner."
"It is precisely because of my strong management that the business environment here is getting better and better. Everyone doesn't have to spend energy on trivial things all day long."
"If there is anything, I can use my own means to solve it."
"So, as long as you can get a booth here, everyone is waiting to count the money."
"Oh my God, you are the only one left, Uncle Zhong, otherwise this street will be demolished, it will really be over, and many people will lose their source of livelihood?"
Only now did Lu Weiwei understand what Uncle Zhong meant to this street?
Although Uncle Zhong looks like a grumpy old man, he is quite prestigious because he eats well in this street.
Everyone pointed out that relying on Uncle Zhong's management, he could make a fortune on this street.
It is precisely because of Uncle Zhong's feelings for this street that he used his actions to guarantee that this street will not be demolished.
While everyone was chatting, Uncle Zhong's phone rang suddenly.
Without further ado, Uncle Zhong picked up the phone and clicked on speakerphone.
"Uncle Zhong, there is a peddler here, he said he seems to have seen this woman before."
On the phone, a statement from an urban management came.
When Uncle Zhong heard the words, he also said calmly: "Is he the only one who knows?"
"Well, for now, only he has seen it. Do I need to bring him here?" the urban management said.
Uncle Zhong hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of business does he do? Are you busy now?"
"The shop that makes snacks is the baked oyster shop at the intersection. It seems a bit busy."
As soon as the urban management finished speaking, Uncle Zhong directly suggested, "The store is busy, so don't let him come over. Let's go."
"Okay, Uncle Zhong, let's go to work first, and leave the rest to you." The urban management said politely.
Uncle Zhong gave a perfunctory "Yes", then hung up the phone and stood up directly.
Seeing this, Gu Chen also stood up straight, and said politely to Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, thank you, you just need to tell us where the store is? We can go there."
"No, I'll accompany you there." Uncle Zhong seemed to be a stubborn old man, and he didn't listen to Gu Chen's words, and walked out of the gate with his hands on his back.
Seeing this, Gu Chen and the others had no choice but to follow Uncle Zhong.
For a moment, an old man in a faded urban control uniform was followed by four policemen. This style of painting made the street vendors curious.
However, what surprised Gu Chen was that whenever Uncle Zhong went, there would be small merchants greeting him.
In the night market, many are engaged in snack business, whenever Uncle Zhong passes by, he will yell at them a few times.
And these small merchants and hawkers will enthusiastically take out their own products and pass them to Uncle Zhong for him to taste.
Gu Chen has only seen this style of painting in Hong Kong movies back then.
Uncle Zhong walks with the wind, and he is unrestrained and unrestrained, reaping the enthusiasm of everyone.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help but touched Gu Chen's arm, and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Gu, if someone lives like Uncle Zhong, then he really has no regrets."
"Yes, Uncle Zhong is in this area, and he can really walk sideways without anyone stopping him. Maybe this is the prestige of the older generation here." Gu Chen didn't know how to organize his words to evaluate Uncle Zhong.
But behind Uncle Zhong's chicness is his love for this street for decades.
Moreover, Uncle Zhong allows all small businessmen and hawkers to make money, and even make a fortune.
With such a manager, everyone naturally supports him.
That's why Uncle Zhong has retired, but the relevant department still hired him back to continue managing the daily life of this street.
While everyone was chatting, Uncle Zhong had already brought everyone to the door of a barbecue restaurant.
The signboard is a grilled oyster store in Guangdong Province, and the main product is grilled oysters.
Of course, although the name of the store is grilled oysters, there are various other products.
Gu Chen has seen that the streets here, because there are so many snacks, so many people have to work hard on the signboards.
You need to highlight the characteristics of your store, and let people know what the main products are in your store.
Outside the store, there are many dining tables and stools.
Since the storefront is here, the area at the entrance has become the expansion zone of the storefront.
Uncle Zhong pointed to the sidewalk outside and said, "Usually during the day, tables and chairs are not allowed to be moved outside, but at night, parking is not allowed here, so they are allowed to be placed outside."
"However, they also pay more sanitation fees, but these sanitation fees are just a drop in the bucket for their profits."
Pointing to the sign above, Uncle Zhong said again: "This store has been in operation for 10 years on our street."
"The owner of this shop is from our local area. When he was young, he went to Guangdong Province and worked in a snack bar. He just learned all the skills."
"Later, the boss came back from Guangdong Province and set up this store on our street for 10 years."
"Relying on hard work and excellent craftsmanship, I can earn a lot of money."
"Uncle Zhong, are you here?" Just as Uncle Zhong introduced Gu Chen and the others, a middle-aged fat man in the shop quickly stepped forward, invited Uncle Zhong and the others to the side, and said:
"Business is good today, and there are no seats left. I'll bring some stools upstairs, and you guys will sit here temporarily."
The shop owner was very polite, and he put some stools aside himself, wiped Uncle Zhong's one with his sleeve, and then put on a gesture of invitation.
Although it was flattering, after knowing Uncle Zhong's status in this street, everyone including Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha would not feel that there was anything wrong.
Because Uncle Zhong made a lot of money in this store, can he not be greeted like the God of Wealth?
"Ada, what? Did they explain it to you again?" Uncle Zhong asked.
The boss named Ada immediately nodded and confirmed: "I know, I do have the impression of the photo you showed me. That woman has eaten in my shop."
"Eat in your restaurant? Are you sure it's the person in the photo who wears the same clothes and looks the same in every way?" Lu Weiwei was overjoyed when she heard that.
But I was afraid that the boss would admit the wrong person.
But Boss Ada seemed relaxed, and said with a smile, "How could I have misunderstood someone? This woman seems to like eating oysters in my shop very much. She has been here a few times, but every time she is alone."
"As you know, the business in my store is usually very good, and most of the people who come to eat in the store are in groups."
"But this woman, she is alone every time, so I don't have a spare seat for her, so I moved my daughter's small desk to a corner outside and let her eat alone."
"So, if you show me this photo, it's not that I, Ada, are bragging. I can recognize it at a glance."
"What about her appearance? Have you seen her specific appearance?" Officer Wang hurriedly asked after seeing this.
After all, the clues were not easy to come by, and everyone's expressions suddenly became tense.
Boss Ada nodded silently: "Of course I have seen her specific appearance. You said that you have to wear a mask when you go out, but you can't wear a mask when you eat, right?"
"I saw her face clearly when she was eating."
"Then..." Lu Weiwei hurriedly looked around after hearing the words, and asked Ada, the owner of the oyster shop, "Then did the surveillance camera in your shop capture her face?"
"This..." Boss Ada was a little embarrassed when asked by Lu Weiwei. He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I can only see the cashier and the door."
"But she only took off the mask every time when she was eating, and put it on again when paying, and it was tightly wrapped."
"So, the surveillance in my store couldn't catch it."
"It's okay, do you know where she lives?" Gu Chen asked again.
"This..." Ada hesitated for a few seconds, trying to remember.
After a while, Ada said: "Anyway, I see her sitting here alone eating oysters, so when I'm not busy, I'll casually chat with her."
"I also asked her, do you live here? Do you work here?"
"Then what did she say?" Officer Wang was very nervous at the moment.
Boss Ada smiled and said: "She said that she lives and works nearby. She seems to be talking about...doing sales?"
"Anyway, what exactly are you doing? She seems to be talking very vaguely. Anyway, I didn't ask too much, just chatting with her casually."
"That is to say, you don't know exactly where he lives?" Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at Boss Ada, and continued to ask.
Boss Ada shook his head: "I'm sorry, Comrade Police, I thought I just need to tell you that she has been to my store, but I didn't expect to know her exact address?"
"That's not embarrassing you, but just knowing that she has eaten with you, although this clue is important, it won't play a key role." Lu Weiwei hesitated for a few seconds, and then said:
"The most important thing is that she can visit your store frequently, that's the key."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei asked again: "So, has she been to your store recently?"
"Uh, no." Boss Ada shook his head.
"Then when was the last time you came to your store?" Yuan Shasha also asked.
Ada scratched his cheek, and said thoughtfully, "It seems...it seems like the end of last month, right?"
"Last month? That is to say, she hasn't been here this month?" Officer Wang asked.
Boss Ada nodded silently: "Yes."
"Ah!" Hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't help shaking his head, feeling rather disappointed.
After all, when he came here to eat oysters last month, he hadn't handed over the bloody letter to the police station.
But now, according to the prompt, the police have found the body that had been covered in dust for a long time.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the woman must know that her position may be exposed.
Therefore, it is unlikely to come here to eat oysters like a month ago.
Therefore, Police Officer Wang felt a little sorry.
Uncle Zhong saw that Boss Ada didn't do any real help, so he couldn't help but interjected:
"Ada, think about it carefully, the more detailed the better, this woman is very important to these police comrades."
"I know, Uncle Zhong, but I really don't know the key point." Facing Uncle Zhong's question, Ada was quite helpless:
"You also know that when I am free, I like to chat with customers, and I don't know how to inquire about people's privacy. It's impolite."
"Forget it." Seeing that Ada really didn't know, Uncle Zhong waved his hand, then looked at Gu Chen and said:
"Young man, I'm so sorry, that's all he can do to help."
"At present, I only know that this woman has been to his restaurant to eat, and every time she is alone."
"Also, this woman probably lives nearby and works in sales."
"Of course, this may just be the woman's nonsense, and I don't know if it's true or not."
"So..." Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong seemed to think of something wrong, so he turned his head and asked Ada again:
"By the way, Ada, is that woman a local?"
"No, it seems to be from another place. From the accent...it seems to be from Anhui Province, right?"
"Where in Anhui Province?" I heard Boss Ada say so.
Several people, including Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, suddenly exclaimed in unison.
Uncle Zhong and Ada were also taken aback for a moment, and they also looked at everyone with curious eyes.
Because everyone was investigating Zhao Xiaohu's identity before, and learned that he committed murder in Wan Province and was retaliated against.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaohu is from Anhui Province, and he left his hometown because he was afraid of the other party's revenge.
But now, Boss Ada suddenly mentioned Wan Province, which made Gu Chen and the others vigilant.
"What's wrong?" Uncle Zhong asked curiously.
"It's nothing." Gu Chen shook his head, walked directly to Boss Ada, and said solemnly:
"Can you tell me what this woman looks like?"
"Uh... Well, how about telling her what she looks like?"
"I drew her." Gu Chen said.
"Draw it?" Hearing what the young policeman said, Boss Ada was shocked and said with a smile:
"Comrade police, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not joking, I'm serious now." While speaking, Gu Chen took out the portable notebook from his equipment.
Pulled out the writing pen on his chest, pulled off the pen cap, looked up at Boss Ada and said:
"Boss Ada, can you tell me about the specific appearance of that woman now, for example, what is her face shape? How about her eyebrows? How about her eyes? How about her nose and mouth? And her hairstyle, you can tell me all of these."
"Okay... okay." Seeing Gu Chen put on such a posture, it didn't look like he was joking with himself.
So Boss Ada also started to get serious. He put his hands on his chest and thought:
"As I remember, she seems to have a round face, thin eyebrows, and not very big eyes, should they have single eyelids?"
"As for the nose? The nose seems to be of medium length, yes, it's about the same length as mine."
Gu Chen raised his head and glanced at Boss Ada's nose, then continued to start sketching with his pen, and asked casually, "What about the mouth?"
"The mouth seems...not very big, but the lips are quite thick. As for the hairstyle, it seems to be short..."
While Boss Ada was explaining, Gu Chen was also listening carefully, constantly revising his paintings.
As soon as Boss Ada finished speaking, Gu Chen scribbled a few words, flashed the page of the notebook in front of Ada and asked, "Is it like this?"
"What... what?"
Also startled by Gu Chen's sketching speed, Boss Ada stepped forward to observe carefully.
After a while, Boss Ada stared at Gu Chen with an incredulous gaze and said in admiration:
"Comrade policeman, your drawing skills are really good, and you finished the work so quickly? I really admire you."
"Don't talk about that, just ask you, does that woman look like the one in my painting?" Gu Chen didn't like to talk to him, and asked straight to the point.
Boss Ada nodded fiercely: "There are seven points similar, basically this is what it looks like, oh yes."
Halfway through the conversation, Boss Ada seemed to think of something again? So he quickly told Gu Chendao: "Comrade policeman, there is a wound on the bridge of that woman's nose, it seems to be scratched by a sharp object, it's here."
In order to show the specific orientation, Ada gestured with his finger, and drew a slanted line with his finger on the bridge of the nose.
Gu Chen continued to pick up the writing pen, flicked a few more times, and drew the wound in an instant, and asked in front of Ada:
"now what?"
"Now? There is an eight-point image now." Looking up at Gu Chen, Boss Ada also smiled and said:
"An octagonal image is not bad. If you use this photo to find someone, I don't think it should be a big problem."
"Okay, I see." Hearing Boss Ada's words, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and took a picture of his sketch under the light of Boss Ada's shop.
Then it was sent to He Junchao, and a phone call was made.
He Junchao, who was on duty in the office, also answered the phone in a second and asked, "What's going on?"
"Senior Brother He, I just sent you a picture, which is what the eyewitness told me."
"That woman looks like this. You can help me match the color and paint it in another color."
"Understood." With Gu Chen's manuscript drawing, He Junchao felt that other things were trivial to him.
So after hanging up the phone, He Junchao over there immediately started to get busy.
This operation left Uncle Zhong and Ada dumbfounded, not quite clear about the police's approach.
At this moment, there happened to be a table of guests who had finished supper and directly asked for the bill.
Only then did Ada instruct the clerk to go over and count the money.
With the departure of these customers, there was finally a vacancy at the door of Ada.
So Ada quickly entertained everyone and sat around the dining table.
He called out to the clerk to prepare some food for everyone, and asked everyone if they had any taboos?
Thinking of asking people to help, it is impossible to help in vain.
It just so happened that Lu Weiwei's stomach was growling with hunger, and everyone hadn't had dinner yet.
So Lu Weiwei suggested: "Junior Brother Gu, shall we settle our dinner here?"
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, glanced at Uncle Zhong, and then invited him:
"Uncle Zhong, why don't we sit down and have something to eat?"
"No need." Uncle Zhong waved his hand, and said with a smile, "I don't eat and drink with vendors during working hours. This is the rule. After get off work, you can drink with me as long as you like."
"So now, I'm going to work too, and I'm going to inspect the vendors on the street, and I've helped you find witnesses."
"What to do next, you can find Ada, he will help you with everything, including dinner."
"Okay, then thank you Uncle Zhong." Seeing Uncle Zhong go away, Gu Chen turned back.
At this moment, the scent from the chimney vents immediately wafted into the street.
And everyone's stomach is even more uncomfortable at this time.
Fortunately, Boss Ada's efficiency is quite high, and the dishes have already begun to be served one after another.
Snacks pay attention to a quick table turn, the higher the frequency, the more you earn.
Therefore, Boss Ada will prepare a lot of barbecue ingredients, and the speed is first-class and fast.
"Here we come." Boss Ada personally carried the tray and put it in front of everyone and said:
"These are baked first, you guys eat first, and the follow-up will come soon."
"Okay, then go get busy." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, picked up a bunch of grilled sausages in an instant, and ate them with relish.
And Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang, everyone also started to fight.
Everyone's dinner can only be settled here.
When Boss Ada brought the last large portion of grilled oysters ordered by everyone to the table, He Junchao also called.
Without saying a word, Gu Chen directly connected to the channel: "Senior Brother He, how are you?"
"Gu Chen, I have already sent you the accompanying picture, take a look and ask the boss over there to see if it is the case?"
"Okay, let me take a look first." Gu Chen didn't hang up the phone, but clicked on the chat software, and in the dialog with He Junchao, he found the color picture drawn on the computer.
Because He Junchao copied it with a computer based on Gu Chen's picture, plus the color matching of human skin.
Soon, a three-dimensional model of a human face was created.
Gu Chen showed the phone photo in front of Boss Ada and asked, "What about now?"
"Ah?" After seeing the picture on Gu Chen's phone, Boss Ada was startled and said in disbelief:
"Comrade policeman, can this be drawn by you? Isn't this drawing too good? It feels like the real thing."
"Boss Ada." Seeing that Boss Ada didn't answer Gu Chen's question, Lu Weiwei continued to remind:
"Does this painting look like it?"
"Like! Like! It's so similar! I don't even know how to express this painting."
"From one to ten, how much can you score now?" Police Officer Wang also helped him list and compare.
"Nine...five minutes past nine, or seven minutes past nine is also acceptable, because the painting is so similar, it feels like a real photo." Boss Ada said.
"So you're sure? It's like this, right?" Gu Chen confirmed with Boss Ada again just to be on the safe side.
This time Boss Ada nodded fiercely, and said involuntarily: "Comrade policeman, don't say anything, just follow this picture to find her, that woman looks like this."
After hearing Boss Ada's affirmative words, Gu Chen continued to call back and said to He Junchao on the phone:
"Brother He, did you hear that?"
"I heard it, then I will follow this and enter the system to check." He Junchao said.
So the two hung up the phone.
Boss Ada was also grateful and said: "Tonight really taught me a lot. I didn't expect that you are so good at drawing?"
"Being able to draw such realistic pictures in such a short period of time feels as good as a photo. If my daughter can have one-tenth of your drawing skills, then I will be thankful."
"Boss Ada has a daughter? Do you still like to draw?" Lu Weiwei suddenly became interested and asked casually.
Boss Ada turned around with a smile, took out a drawing book from under the small desk at the door, and showed it in front of everyone:
"See? My daughter drew it."
"What is this?" Lu Weiwei couldn't understand, and she couldn't help complaining, "Why is this person so abstract?"
"Hehe." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Boss Ada said helplessly:
"This work is called my father, and the abstract figure in it is me, her father."
"Pfft!" After hearing Boss Ada's narration, Yuan Shasha on the side burst into laughter and asked curiously:
"If you are painted like this, how much does your daughter hate you?"
"Isn't it? I often yell at my daughter because of her homework, so she hates me too."
"So, in their elementary school art class, the teacher asked all the students to draw a portrait of their father."
"As a result, it's a tragedy. No matter how bad the painting is, at least it's acceptable."
"But when their art teacher saw this painting, he repeatedly praised it as the most abstract villain."
"Because of this, the art teacher even thought at one point, I look like this? I was really pissed off, and then she came back, and I beat her up, and I'm having a tantrum at home now."
"Pfft! Boss Ada, you are really good. Your daughter is a bit like my colleague's daughter, and she is quite naughty."
After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Police Officer Wang beside her, who also answered directly:
"That's right, my daughter, at home, she is simply a devil in the world, and at school she is a bully."
"Speaking of painting, is my daughter painting? It's drawing ghosts. I feel like I can be painted as a monster."
"Haha, is that right? That's really sympathy." Hearing Officer Wang's complaint, Boss Ada also smiled teasingly.
But Police Officer Wang said: "But when this child drew her mother, she drew them like fairies and angels, and I am a devil. I feel that this child is really cheating."
"Hahaha."
Also in a relaxed atmosphere, everyone settled for dinner in front of Ada's restaurant while investigating clues.
It also made everyone instantly overwhelmed by the bustling night market of this street.
As night falls, the lights come on.
The neon signboards of various storefronts kept flashing.
And around the street, all kinds of customers are constantly flowing, making this street very lively.
All kinds of barbecue smoke permeates the air, and it is so fragrant that even people inhale the air.
It is also in this environment that everyone feels the joy of dining.
Friends in twos and threes get together, and there are a lot of people chatting about the world.
The night market in Lao Cai kicks off after 5 pm.
Uncle Zhong and the others, who were wearing urban control uniforms, still walked through the streets, criticizing all kinds of small merchants who violated the regulations and occupied the roads.
While Gu Chen was admiring the night scene, he was also waiting for the final result from He Junchao.
...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Gu Chen carefully observed the tall and thin old man in front of him, wearing an old blue uniform, and music was playing on his cell phone at the moment.
He also checked the time on his phone, and was about to stand up and walk out of the house, but ran into Gu Chen and the others head-on.
The old man also stared blankly, and asked curiously, "Comrade policeman, what do you have to do?"
"Are you Uncle Zhong?" Gu Chen walked into the office and also reported his family name: "Hi Uncle Zhong, I'm Gu Chen from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. I have something to trouble you for."
"I'm a bad old man, what do you want me for? How can I help you?" The old man said with a strong tone, and seemed to have a high tone.
Lu Weiwei grinned, and quickly flattered her: "No one in Fenggu Street knows about it. If you have anything to ask Uncle Zhong, that will do."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I still have to go around the street, if you have anything to do, just talk about it."
I also saw the police coming here, maybe something really bothered me.
So Uncle Zhong sat back in his seat, but Uncle Zhong didn't make a cup of tea for the police like the people he met before.
Things like politeness don't seem to happen with Uncle Zhong.
But Gu Chen came here for the purpose of finding that woman, so Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, and directly clicked on his mobile phone photo album, and showed one of the surveillance screenshots in front of Uncle Zhong and said:
"We are looking for this woman. She may be involved in a murder case, but according to the information we have so far, after she finally got off the car here, she disappeared."
"Our police are currently unable to find her whereabouts, so we came to Fenggu Street to inquire."
"I also heard that in this Fenggu Street, as long as you look for Uncle Zhong, you can do nothing wrong."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said politely again: "So, we came here specially to find you, hoping to find out some information about this woman's whereabouts from you."
Taking Gu Chen's mobile phone, Uncle Zhong held it in his hand and looked at it, but said helplessly:
"Comrade policeman, you can't see the face of the woman in the picture you provided. How can I help you?"
"Even if I want to help you, at least you have to let me know what this woman looks like?"
"Uncle Zhong." Seeing that Uncle Zhong had a temper, Yuan Shasha hurriedly explained: "Isn't it, the other party deliberately wrapped herself tightly, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"If you can't find her, maybe this murder case is very troublesome. We have no other choice. We just want to see if we can find out from you. Yesterday morning, she was wearing this dress and appeared at this girl on Fenggu Street. woman."
"You have a high reputation in this street, so there must be a way to mobilize all the small businesses and hawkers here, and let them help together?"
It was also said by Yuan Shasha that Uncle Zhong seemed a little proud.
After all, on this street, one's authority lies there.
It can be said that Uncle Zhong belongs to the type of people who take root in Fenggu Street.
Now that even the police have something to ask of him, Uncle Zhong is somewhat complacent.
Seeing the four of them standing opposite each other with sincere faces, Uncle Zhong also picked up his thermos, took a sip, and said:
"Okay, I'll look for it for you, of course, I don't care if I can't find it."
"Okay, as long as you say it." Seeing that Uncle Zhong was willing to help, Police Officer Wang felt like watching a show, and wanted to see if the Uncle Zhong that everyone said was really so smart?
Uncle Zhong picked up his phone and started shaking people.
After a while, two urban management guys in uniform ran up to him.
"Uncle Zhong, what's the matter?"
"Send this photo to the group and ask to see who saw her yesterday morning."
"In addition, you are now using a printer to print out the color picture of this photo. When I am inspecting, every merchant will ask."
"If anyone has seen this woman, please notify me immediately."
"No problem." Another urban management officer picked up his phone, just in time to receive a picture from Uncle Zhong.
The guy immediately turned around, came to a corner of the office, started to operate the computer, and printed out the color pictures on A4 paper.
After a while, the urban management guy came to Uncle Zhong and asked for instructions: "Uncle Zhong, do you think this will work?"
"Okay, hurry up and do it, the police comrades are still waiting here, and besides, print some more for me."
"Understood." With Uncle Zhong's instructions, this group of people worked quite efficiently.
After the printer printed out the color pictures, the two also started group posting in groups of many merchants, and attached questions.
After completing the operation, the two quickly walked out of the office.
"Why don't we go help too?" Gu Chen asked.
Uncle Zhong waved his hand, pointed to the old sofa on one side, and said, "You don't need to go, they know this place the most, so letting them ask is much more efficient than yours."
"But there are multiple people and multiple helpers, isn't it?" Lu Weiwei also put forward her own opinion.
But Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Little sister, let me tell you, there are hundreds of vendors in Fenggu Street, and they only recognize us who wear urban control uniforms."
"Go to the police and ask. It's not bad if people don't dislike you and delay their business."
"After all, now is the time to set up stalls. Many people only do night market business. The turnover at night determines their daily income."
Taking a deep breath, Uncle Zhong lit a cigarette and said calmly:
"So, if you ask, people will dislike you. If you leave it to them to ask, no matter how busy they are, these people will be polite."
"It is an honor for these small traders to be able to help us with things and be able to help."
"Is it that exaggerated?" The more Lu Weiwei listened, the more she felt that Uncle Zhong seemed to be bragging.
Suddenly, I felt that my police uniform couldn't compare to the city control uniform?
But doubts belong to doubts, at least Uncle Zhong has his own set of arguments.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Uncle Zhong is willing to help, which is enough.
Uncle Zhong also pressed his hand, and said involuntarily: "You guys should sit down for a while, an hour at most, and see if anyone has seen this person before."
"Okay, then thank you, Uncle Zhong." I feel that this old man seems to have a natural temperament of a big brother, and he is also dragging when he speaks.
Even in the face of the police, he was calm and calm.
It can be seen that Uncle Zhong has seen the world.
And Gu Chen also inquired about Uncle Zhong from those vendors just now.
I also know that this street was shot down by Uncle Zhong, and it was also preserved by Uncle Zhong.
Therefore, almost everyone who does business here listens to Uncle Zhong.
And the cute new urban managers under Uncle Zhong also represent Uncle Zhong.
Therefore, these people will not be perfunctory when Uncle Zhong speaks, which is why Uncle Zhong asked these people to go over and ask questions.
Seeing all kinds of vacant wine bottles behind Uncle Zhong, Gu Chen asked curiously, "Uncle Zhong likes to drink?"
"That's right." Uncle Zhong also followed Gu Chen's gaze and glanced at the direction behind him.
It seems that Gu Chen has something to say, and Uncle Zhong, as an old Jianghu here, will not be unclear.
So he laughed and said: "I usually like to put all kinds of messy things in this room."
"Anyway, no one at the top cares about me. As long as I manage the street well and pay the sanitation fee in full every month, the leaders don't care about my fault."
"I'm talking about it. I've been used to it for so many years. Drinking is indispensable. Anyway, there are vendors here, big and small."
"As long as I'm off work, as long as I have time, they will pull me in for a drink."
"Then it seems that Uncle Zhong is really popular here?" Yuan Shasha felt the need to praise her.
But Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "They didn't welcome me, they were afraid of me."
"Afraid of you?" Officer Wang was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, you are the manager. How can these people not be afraid of you?"
"Of course." Uncle Zhong took a sip of water and said leisurely:
"Because, since I started to manage this street, this night market, I have experienced various conflicts."
"But in the end, I settled them one by one, so these people are afraid of me. In addition to my reputation since I was young, many of them are old neighbors."
"And they all know me. Even if I drink with you tonight, but tomorrow you don't manage well, I will still scold you bloody."
"My temper is just like this. I'm quite irritable, but there's nothing I can do about it. I signed an agreement with the boss. I'm the guarantor for this street."
Listening to Uncle Zhong's dictation, everyone looked at each other.
In the remarks of the straw hat uncle before, he had indeed heard that Uncle Zhong followed up and tried to save Fenggu Street.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Uncle Zhong went on to explain, "Because owning a stall on this street means making a fortune. As long as the product isn't too bad, you can make money."
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhong began to gesture with his hands again: "For example, there is a sister Zhao here, who was considered a wealthy family back then, but later she participated in gambling, lost all her belongings, and owed more than one million yuan."
"But since she set up a stall here to engage in barbecue at the night market, she has now paid off her debts and made a lot of money."
"So much money?" Officer Wang was stunned when he heard this, and said involuntarily:
"I only knew before that the old street is very popular, but I never thought that it would make so much money?"
"Haha." Seeing Police Officer Wang's appearance of having never seen the world, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but shook his head and complained:
Read it for free
"It's nothing? If this street doesn't make money, why has it been a place of mixed fish and dragons for decades?"
"It's because it's so profitable here. Many small businesses and hawkers have been operating here for many years, buying cars and houses in various ways."
"So everyone is very grateful, and also thank me for being able to manage this street in an orderly manner."
"It is precisely because of my strong management that the business environment here is getting better and better. Everyone doesn't have to spend energy on trivial things all day long."
"If there is anything, I can use my own means to solve it."
"So, as long as you can get a booth here, everyone is waiting to count the money."
"Oh my God, you are the only one left, Uncle Zhong, otherwise this street will be demolished, it will really be over, and many people will lose their source of livelihood?"
Only now did Lu Weiwei understand what Uncle Zhong meant to this street?
Although Uncle Zhong looks like a grumpy old man, he is quite prestigious because he eats well in this street.
Everyone pointed out that relying on Uncle Zhong's management, he could make a fortune on this street.
It is precisely because of Uncle Zhong's feelings for this street that he used his actions to guarantee that this street will not be demolished.
While everyone was chatting, Uncle Zhong's phone rang suddenly.
Without further ado, Uncle Zhong picked up the phone and clicked on speakerphone.
"Uncle Zhong, there is a peddler here, he said he seems to have seen this woman before."
On the phone, a statement from an urban management came.
When Uncle Zhong heard the words, he also said calmly: "Is he the only one who knows?"
"Well, for now, only he has seen it. Do I need to bring him here?" the urban management said.
Uncle Zhong hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of business does he do? Are you busy now?"
"The shop that makes snacks is the baked oyster shop at the intersection. It seems a bit busy."
As soon as the urban management finished speaking, Uncle Zhong directly suggested, "The store is busy, so don't let him come over. Let's go."
"Okay, Uncle Zhong, let's go to work first, and leave the rest to you." The urban management said politely.
Uncle Zhong gave a perfunctory "Yes", then hung up the phone and stood up directly.
Seeing this, Gu Chen also stood up straight, and said politely to Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, thank you, you just need to tell us where the store is? We can go there."
"No, I'll accompany you there." Uncle Zhong seemed to be a stubborn old man, and he didn't listen to Gu Chen's words, and walked out of the gate with his hands on his back.
Seeing this, Gu Chen and the others had no choice but to follow Uncle Zhong.
For a moment, an old man in a faded urban control uniform was followed by four policemen. This style of painting made the street vendors curious.
However, what surprised Gu Chen was that whenever Uncle Zhong went, there would be small merchants greeting him.
In the night market, many are engaged in snack business, whenever Uncle Zhong passes by, he will yell at them a few times.
And these small merchants and hawkers will enthusiastically take out their own products and pass them to Uncle Zhong for him to taste.
Gu Chen has only seen this style of painting in Hong Kong movies back then.
Uncle Zhong walks with the wind, and he is unrestrained and unrestrained, reaping the enthusiasm of everyone.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help but touched Gu Chen's arm, and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Gu, if someone lives like Uncle Zhong, then he really has no regrets."
"Yes, Uncle Zhong is in this area, and he can really walk sideways without anyone stopping him. Maybe this is the prestige of the older generation here." Gu Chen didn't know how to organize his words to evaluate Uncle Zhong.
But behind Uncle Zhong's chicness is his love for this street for decades.
Moreover, Uncle Zhong allows all small businessmen and hawkers to make money, and even make a fortune.
With such a manager, everyone naturally supports him.
That's why Uncle Zhong has retired, but the relevant department still hired him back to continue managing the daily life of this street.
While everyone was chatting, Uncle Zhong had already brought everyone to the door of a barbecue restaurant.
The signboard is a grilled oyster store in Guangdong Province, and the main product is grilled oysters.
Of course, although the name of the store is grilled oysters, there are various other products.
Gu Chen has seen that the streets here, because there are so many snacks, so many people have to work hard on the signboards.
You need to highlight the characteristics of your store, and let people know what the main products are in your store.
Outside the store, there are many dining tables and stools.
Since the storefront is here, the area at the entrance has become the expansion zone of the storefront.
Uncle Zhong pointed to the sidewalk outside and said, "Usually during the day, tables and chairs are not allowed to be moved outside, but at night, parking is not allowed here, so they are allowed to be placed outside."
"However, they also pay more sanitation fees, but these sanitation fees are just a drop in the bucket for their profits."
Pointing to the sign above, Uncle Zhong said again: "This store has been in operation for 10 years on our street."
"The owner of this shop is from our local area. When he was young, he went to Guangdong Province and worked in a snack bar. He just learned all the skills."
"Later, the boss came back from Guangdong Province and set up this store on our street for 10 years."
"Relying on hard work and excellent craftsmanship, I can earn a lot of money."
"Uncle Zhong, are you here?" Just as Uncle Zhong introduced Gu Chen and the others, a middle-aged fat man in the shop quickly stepped forward, invited Uncle Zhong and the others to the side, and said:
"Business is good today, and there are no seats left. I'll bring some stools upstairs, and you guys will sit here temporarily."
The shop owner was very polite, and he put some stools aside himself, wiped Uncle Zhong's one with his sleeve, and then put on a gesture of invitation.
Although it was flattering, after knowing Uncle Zhong's status in this street, everyone including Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha would not feel that there was anything wrong.
Because Uncle Zhong made a lot of money in this store, can he not be greeted like the God of Wealth?
"Ada, what? Did they explain it to you again?" Uncle Zhong asked.
The boss named Ada immediately nodded and confirmed: "I know, I do have the impression of the photo you showed me. That woman has eaten in my shop."
"Eat in your restaurant? Are you sure it's the person in the photo who wears the same clothes and looks the same in every way?" Lu Weiwei was overjoyed when she heard that.
But I was afraid that the boss would admit the wrong person.
But Boss Ada seemed relaxed, and said with a smile, "How could I have misunderstood someone? This woman seems to like eating oysters in my shop very much. She has been here a few times, but every time she is alone."
"As you know, the business in my store is usually very good, and most of the people who come to eat in the store are in groups."
"But this woman, she is alone every time, so I don't have a spare seat for her, so I moved my daughter's small desk to a corner outside and let her eat alone."
"So, if you show me this photo, it's not that I, Ada, are bragging. I can recognize it at a glance."
"What about her appearance? Have you seen her specific appearance?" Officer Wang hurriedly asked after seeing this.
After all, the clues were not easy to come by, and everyone's expressions suddenly became tense.
Boss Ada nodded silently: "Of course I have seen her specific appearance. You said that you have to wear a mask when you go out, but you can't wear a mask when you eat, right?"
"I saw her face clearly when she was eating."
"Then..." Lu Weiwei hurriedly looked around after hearing the words, and asked Ada, the owner of the oyster shop, "Then did the surveillance camera in your shop capture her face?"
"This..." Boss Ada was a little embarrassed when asked by Lu Weiwei. He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I can only see the cashier and the door."
"But she only took off the mask every time when she was eating, and put it on again when paying, and it was tightly wrapped."
"So, the surveillance in my store couldn't catch it."
"It's okay, do you know where she lives?" Gu Chen asked again.
"This..." Ada hesitated for a few seconds, trying to remember.
After a while, Ada said: "Anyway, I see her sitting here alone eating oysters, so when I'm not busy, I'll casually chat with her."
"I also asked her, do you live here? Do you work here?"
"Then what did she say?" Officer Wang was very nervous at the moment.
Boss Ada smiled and said: "She said that she lives and works nearby. She seems to be talking about...doing sales?"
"Anyway, what exactly are you doing? She seems to be talking very vaguely. Anyway, I didn't ask too much, just chatting with her casually."
"That is to say, you don't know exactly where he lives?" Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at Boss Ada, and continued to ask.
Boss Ada shook his head: "I'm sorry, Comrade Police, I thought I just need to tell you that she has been to my store, but I didn't expect to know her exact address?"
"That's not embarrassing you, but just knowing that she has eaten with you, although this clue is important, it won't play a key role." Lu Weiwei hesitated for a few seconds, and then said:
"The most important thing is that she can visit your store frequently, that's the key."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei asked again: "So, has she been to your store recently?"
"Uh, no." Boss Ada shook his head.
"Then when was the last time you came to your store?" Yuan Shasha also asked.
Ada scratched his cheek, and said thoughtfully, "It seems...it seems like the end of last month, right?"
"Last month? That is to say, she hasn't been here this month?" Officer Wang asked.
Boss Ada nodded silently: "Yes."
"Ah!" Hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't help shaking his head, feeling rather disappointed.
After all, when he came here to eat oysters last month, he hadn't handed over the bloody letter to the police station.
But now, according to the prompt, the police have found the body that had been covered in dust for a long time.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the woman must know that her position may be exposed.
Therefore, it is unlikely to come here to eat oysters like a month ago.
Therefore, Police Officer Wang felt a little sorry.
Uncle Zhong saw that Boss Ada didn't do any real help, so he couldn't help but interjected:
"Ada, think about it carefully, the more detailed the better, this woman is very important to these police comrades."
"I know, Uncle Zhong, but I really don't know the key point." Facing Uncle Zhong's question, Ada was quite helpless:
"You also know that when I am free, I like to chat with customers, and I don't know how to inquire about people's privacy. It's impolite."
"Forget it." Seeing that Ada really didn't know, Uncle Zhong waved his hand, then looked at Gu Chen and said:
"Young man, I'm so sorry, that's all he can do to help."
"At present, I only know that this woman has been to his restaurant to eat, and every time she is alone."
"Also, this woman probably lives nearby and works in sales."
"Of course, this may just be the woman's nonsense, and I don't know if it's true or not."
"So..." Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong seemed to think of something wrong, so he turned his head and asked Ada again:
"By the way, Ada, is that woman a local?"
"No, it seems to be from another place. From the accent...it seems to be from Anhui Province, right?"
"Where in Anhui Province?" I heard Boss Ada say so.
Several people, including Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, suddenly exclaimed in unison.
Uncle Zhong and Ada were also taken aback for a moment, and they also looked at everyone with curious eyes.
Because everyone was investigating Zhao Xiaohu's identity before, and learned that he committed murder in Wan Province and was retaliated against.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaohu is from Anhui Province, and he left his hometown because he was afraid of the other party's revenge.
But now, Boss Ada suddenly mentioned Wan Province, which made Gu Chen and the others vigilant.
"What's wrong?" Uncle Zhong asked curiously.
"It's nothing." Gu Chen shook his head, walked directly to Boss Ada, and said solemnly:
"Can you tell me what this woman looks like?"
"Uh... Well, how about telling her what she looks like?"
"I drew her." Gu Chen said.
"Draw it?" Hearing what the young policeman said, Boss Ada was shocked and said with a smile:
"Comrade police, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not joking, I'm serious now." While speaking, Gu Chen took out the portable notebook from his equipment.
Pulled out the writing pen on his chest, pulled off the pen cap, looked up at Boss Ada and said:
"Boss Ada, can you tell me about the specific appearance of that woman now, for example, what is her face shape? How about her eyebrows? How about her eyes? How about her nose and mouth? And her hairstyle, you can tell me all of these."
"Okay... okay." Seeing Gu Chen put on such a posture, it didn't look like he was joking with himself.
So Boss Ada also started to get serious. He put his hands on his chest and thought:
"As I remember, she seems to have a round face, thin eyebrows, and not very big eyes, should they have single eyelids?"
"As for the nose? The nose seems to be of medium length, yes, it's about the same length as mine."
Gu Chen raised his head and glanced at Boss Ada's nose, then continued to start sketching with his pen, and asked casually, "What about the mouth?"
"The mouth seems...not very big, but the lips are quite thick. As for the hairstyle, it seems to be short..."
While Boss Ada was explaining, Gu Chen was also listening carefully, constantly revising his paintings.
As soon as Boss Ada finished speaking, Gu Chen scribbled a few words, flashed the page of the notebook in front of Ada and asked, "Is it like this?"
"What... what?"
Also startled by Gu Chen's sketching speed, Boss Ada stepped forward to observe carefully.
After a while, Boss Ada stared at Gu Chen with an incredulous gaze and said in admiration:
"Comrade policeman, your drawing skills are really good, and you finished the work so quickly? I really admire you."
"Don't talk about that, just ask you, does that woman look like the one in my painting?" Gu Chen didn't like to talk to him, and asked straight to the point.
Boss Ada nodded fiercely: "There are seven points similar, basically this is what it looks like, oh yes."
Halfway through the conversation, Boss Ada seemed to think of something again? So he quickly told Gu Chendao: "Comrade policeman, there is a wound on the bridge of that woman's nose, it seems to be scratched by a sharp object, it's here."
In order to show the specific orientation, Ada gestured with his finger, and drew a slanted line with his finger on the bridge of the nose.
Gu Chen continued to pick up the writing pen, flicked a few more times, and drew the wound in an instant, and asked in front of Ada:
"now what?"
"Now? There is an eight-point image now." Looking up at Gu Chen, Boss Ada also smiled and said:
"An octagonal image is not bad. If you use this photo to find someone, I don't think it should be a big problem."
"Okay, I see." Hearing Boss Ada's words, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and took a picture of his sketch under the light of Boss Ada's shop.
Then it was sent to He Junchao, and a phone call was made.
He Junchao, who was on duty in the office, also answered the phone in a second and asked, "What's going on?"
"Senior Brother He, I just sent you a picture, which is what the eyewitness told me."
"That woman looks like this. You can help me match the color and paint it in another color."
"Understood." With Gu Chen's manuscript drawing, He Junchao felt that other things were trivial to him.
So after hanging up the phone, He Junchao over there immediately started to get busy.
This operation left Uncle Zhong and Ada dumbfounded, not quite clear about the police's approach.
At this moment, there happened to be a table of guests who had finished supper and directly asked for the bill.
Only then did Ada instruct the clerk to go over and count the money.
With the departure of these customers, there was finally a vacancy at the door of Ada.
So Ada quickly entertained everyone and sat around the dining table.
He called out to the clerk to prepare some food for everyone, and asked everyone if they had any taboos?
Thinking of asking people to help, it is impossible to help in vain.
It just so happened that Lu Weiwei's stomach was growling with hunger, and everyone hadn't had dinner yet.
So Lu Weiwei suggested: "Junior Brother Gu, shall we settle our dinner here?"
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, glanced at Uncle Zhong, and then invited him:
"Uncle Zhong, why don't we sit down and have something to eat?"
"No need." Uncle Zhong waved his hand, and said with a smile, "I don't eat and drink with vendors during working hours. This is the rule. After get off work, you can drink with me as long as you like."
"So now, I'm going to work too, and I'm going to inspect the vendors on the street, and I've helped you find witnesses."
"What to do next, you can find Ada, he will help you with everything, including dinner."
"Okay, then thank you Uncle Zhong." Seeing Uncle Zhong go away, Gu Chen turned back.
At this moment, the scent from the chimney vents immediately wafted into the street.
And everyone's stomach is even more uncomfortable at this time.
Fortunately, Boss Ada's efficiency is quite high, and the dishes have already begun to be served one after another.
Snacks pay attention to a quick table turn, the higher the frequency, the more you earn.
Therefore, Boss Ada will prepare a lot of barbecue ingredients, and the speed is first-class and fast.
"Here we come." Boss Ada personally carried the tray and put it in front of everyone and said:
"These are baked first, you guys eat first, and the follow-up will come soon."
"Okay, then go get busy." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, picked up a bunch of grilled sausages in an instant, and ate them with relish.
And Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang, everyone also started to fight.
Everyone's dinner can only be settled here.
When Boss Ada brought the last large portion of grilled oysters ordered by everyone to the table, He Junchao also called.
Without saying a word, Gu Chen directly connected to the channel: "Senior Brother He, how are you?"
"Gu Chen, I have already sent you the accompanying picture, take a look and ask the boss over there to see if it is the case?"
"Okay, let me take a look first." Gu Chen didn't hang up the phone, but clicked on the chat software, and in the dialog with He Junchao, he found the color picture drawn on the computer.
Because He Junchao copied it with a computer based on Gu Chen's picture, plus the color matching of human skin.
Soon, a three-dimensional model of a human face was created.
Gu Chen showed the phone photo in front of Boss Ada and asked, "What about now?"
"Ah?" After seeing the picture on Gu Chen's phone, Boss Ada was startled and said in disbelief:
"Comrade policeman, can this be drawn by you? Isn't this drawing too good? It feels like the real thing."
"Boss Ada." Seeing that Boss Ada didn't answer Gu Chen's question, Lu Weiwei continued to remind:
"Does this painting look like it?"
"Like! Like! It's so similar! I don't even know how to express this painting."
"From one to ten, how much can you score now?" Police Officer Wang also helped him list and compare.
"Nine...five minutes past nine, or seven minutes past nine is also acceptable, because the painting is so similar, it feels like a real photo." Boss Ada said.
"So you're sure? It's like this, right?" Gu Chen confirmed with Boss Ada again just to be on the safe side.
This time Boss Ada nodded fiercely, and said involuntarily: "Comrade policeman, don't say anything, just follow this picture to find her, that woman looks like this."
After hearing Boss Ada's affirmative words, Gu Chen continued to call back and said to He Junchao on the phone:
"Brother He, did you hear that?"
"I heard it, then I will follow this and enter the system to check." He Junchao said.
So the two hung up the phone.
Boss Ada was also grateful and said: "Tonight really taught me a lot. I didn't expect that you are so good at drawing?"
"Being able to draw such realistic pictures in such a short period of time feels as good as a photo. If my daughter can have one-tenth of your drawing skills, then I will be thankful."
"Boss Ada has a daughter? Do you still like to draw?" Lu Weiwei suddenly became interested and asked casually.
Boss Ada turned around with a smile, took out a drawing book from under the small desk at the door, and showed it in front of everyone:
"See? My daughter drew it."
"What is this?" Lu Weiwei couldn't understand, and she couldn't help complaining, "Why is this person so abstract?"
"Hehe." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Boss Ada said helplessly:
"This work is called my father, and the abstract figure in it is me, her father."
"Pfft!" After hearing Boss Ada's narration, Yuan Shasha on the side burst into laughter and asked curiously:
"If you are painted like this, how much does your daughter hate you?"
"Isn't it? I often yell at my daughter because of her homework, so she hates me too."
"So, in their elementary school art class, the teacher asked all the students to draw a portrait of their father."
"As a result, it's a tragedy. No matter how bad the painting is, at least it's acceptable."
"But when their art teacher saw this painting, he repeatedly praised it as the most abstract villain."
"Because of this, the art teacher even thought at one point, I look like this? I was really pissed off, and then she came back, and I beat her up, and I'm having a tantrum at home now."
"Pfft! Boss Ada, you are really good. Your daughter is a bit like my colleague's daughter, and she is quite naughty."
After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Police Officer Wang beside her, who also answered directly:
"That's right, my daughter, at home, she is simply a devil in the world, and at school she is a bully."
"Speaking of painting, is my daughter painting? It's drawing ghosts. I feel like I can be painted as a monster."
"Haha, is that right? That's really sympathy." Hearing Officer Wang's complaint, Boss Ada also smiled teasingly.
But Police Officer Wang said: "But when this child drew her mother, she drew them like fairies and angels, and I am a devil. I feel that this child is really cheating."
"Hahaha."
Also in a relaxed atmosphere, everyone settled for dinner in front of Ada's restaurant while investigating clues.
It also made everyone instantly overwhelmed by the bustling night market of this street.
As night falls, the lights come on.
The neon signboards of various storefronts kept flashing.
And around the street, all kinds of customers are constantly flowing, making this street very lively.
All kinds of barbecue smoke permeates the air, and it is so fragrant that even people inhale the air.
It is also in this environment that everyone feels the joy of dining.
Friends in twos and threes get together, and there are a lot of people chatting about the world.
The night market in Lao Cai kicks off after 5 pm.
Uncle Zhong and the others, who were wearing urban control uniforms, still walked through the streets, criticizing all kinds of small merchants who violated the regulations and occupied the roads.
While Gu Chen was admiring the night scene, he was also waiting for the final result from He Junchao.
...
Gu Chen carefully observed the tall and thin old man in front of him, wearing an old blue uniform, and music was playing on his cell phone at the moment. He also checked the time on his phone, and was about to stand up and walk out of the house, but ran into Gu Chen and the others head-on. The old man also stared blankly, and asked curiously, "Comrade policeman, what do you have to do?" "Are you Uncle Zhong?" Gu Chen walked into the office and also reported his family name: "Hi Uncle Zhong, I'm Gu Chen from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. I have something to trouble you for." "I'm a bad old man, what do you want me for? How can I help you?" The old man said with a strong tone, and seemed to have a high tone. Lu Weiwei grinned, and quickly flattered her: "No one in Fenggu Street knows about it. If you have anything to ask Uncle Zhong, that will do." "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I still have to go around the street, if you have anything to do, just talk about it." I also saw the police coming here, maybe something really bothered me. So Uncle Zhong sat back in his seat, but Uncle Zhong didn't make a cup of tea for the police like the people he met before. Things like politeness don't seem to happen with Uncle Zhong. But Gu Chen came here for the purpose of finding that woman, so Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, and directly clicked on his mobile phone photo album, and showed one of the surveillance screenshots in front of Uncle Zhong and said: "We are looking for this woman. She may be involved in a murder case, but according to the information we have so far, after she finally got off the car here, she disappeared." "Our police are currently unable to find her whereabouts, so we came to Fenggu Street to inquire." "I also heard that in this Fenggu Street, as long as you look for Uncle Zhong, you can do nothing wrong." Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said politely again: "So, we came here specially to find you, hoping to find out some information about this woman's whereabouts from you." Taking Gu Chen's mobile phone, Uncle Zhong held it in his hand and looked at it, but said helplessly: "Comrade policeman, you can't see the face of the woman in the picture you provided. How can I help you?" "Even if I want to help you, at least you have to let me know what this woman looks like?" "Uncle Zhong." Seeing that Uncle Zhong had a temper, Yuan Shasha hurriedly explained: "Isn't it, the other party deliberately wrapped herself tightly, and there is nothing we can do about it." "If you can't find her, maybe this murder case is very troublesome. We have no other choice. We just want to see if we can find out from you. Yesterday morning, she was wearing this dress and appeared at this girl on Fenggu Street. woman." "You have a high reputation in this street, so there must be a way to mobilize all the small businesses and hawkers here, and let them help together?" It was also said by Yuan Shasha that Uncle Zhong seemed a little proud. After all, on this street, one's authority lies there. It can be said that Uncle Zhong belongs to the type of people who take root in Fenggu Street. Now that even the police have something to ask of him, Uncle Zhong is somewhat complacent. Seeing the four of them standing opposite each other with sincere faces, Uncle Zhong also picked up his thermos, took a sip, and said: "Okay, I'll look for it for you, of course, I don't care if I can't find it." "Okay, as long as you say it." Seeing that Uncle Zhong was willing to help, Police Officer Wang felt like watching a show, and wanted to see if the Uncle Zhong that everyone said was really so smart? Uncle Zhong picked up his phone and started shaking people. After a while, two urban management guys in uniform ran up to him. "Uncle Zhong, what's the matter?" "Send this photo to the group and ask to see who saw her yesterday morning." "In addition, you are now using a printer to print out the color picture of this photo. When I am inspecting, every merchant will ask." "If anyone has seen this woman, please notify me immediately." "No problem." Another urban management officer picked up his phone, just in time to receive a picture from Uncle Zhong. The guy immediately turned around, came to a corner of the office, started to operate the computer, and printed out the color pictures on A4 paper. After a while, the urban management guy came to Uncle Zhong and asked for instructions: "Uncle Zhong, do you think this will work?" "Okay, hurry up and do it, the police comrades are still waiting here, and besides, print some more for me." "Understood." With Uncle Zhong's instructions, this group of people worked quite efficiently. After the printer printed out the color pictures, the two also started group posting in groups of many merchants, and attached questions. After completing the operation, the two quickly walked out of the office. "Why don't we go help too?" Gu Chen asked. Uncle Zhong waved his hand, pointed to the old sofa on one side, and said, "You don't need to go, they know this place the most, so letting them ask is much more efficient than yours." "But there are multiple people and multiple helpers, isn't it?" Lu Weiwei also put forward her own opinion. But Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Little sister, let me tell you, there are hundreds of vendors in Fenggu Street, and they only recognize us who wear urban control uniforms." "Go to the police and ask. It's not bad if people don't dislike you and delay their business." "After all, now is the time to set up stalls. Many people only do night market business. The turnover at night determines their daily income." Taking a deep breath, Uncle Zhong lit a cigarette and said calmly: "So, if you ask, people will dislike you. If you leave it to them to ask, no matter how busy they are, these people will be polite." "It is an honor for these small traders to be able to help us with things and be able to help." "Is it that exaggerated?" The more Lu Weiwei listened, the more she felt that Uncle Zhong seemed to be bragging. Suddenly, I felt that my police uniform couldn't compare to the city control uniform? But doubts belong to doubts, at least Uncle Zhong has his own set of arguments. Moreover, the most important thing is that Uncle Zhong is willing to help, which is enough. Uncle Zhong also pressed his hand, and said involuntarily: "You guys should sit down for a while, an hour at most, and see if anyone has seen this person before." "Okay, then thank you, Uncle Zhong." I feel that this old man seems to have a natural temperament of a big brother, and he is also dragging when he speaks. Even in the face of the police, he was calm and calm. It can be seen that Uncle Zhong has seen the world. And Gu Chen also inquired about Uncle Zhong from those vendors just now. I also know that this street was shot down by Uncle Zhong, and it was also preserved by Uncle Zhong. Therefore, almost everyone who does business here listens to Uncle Zhong. And the cute new urban managers under Uncle Zhong also represent Uncle Zhong. Therefore, these people will not be perfunctory when Uncle Zhong speaks, which is why Uncle Zhong asked these people to go over and ask questions. Seeing all kinds of vacant wine bottles behind Uncle Zhong, Gu Chen asked curiously, "Uncle Zhong likes to drink?" "That's right." Uncle Zhong also followed Gu Chen's gaze and glanced at the direction behind him. It seems that Gu Chen has something to say, and Uncle Zhong, as an old Jianghu here, will not be unclear. So he laughed and said: "I usually like to put all kinds of messy things in this room." "Anyway, no one at the top cares about me. As long as I manage the street well and pay the sanitation fee in full every month, the leaders don't care about my fault." "I'm talking about it. I've been used to it for so many years. Drinking is indispensable. Anyway, there are vendors here, big and small." "As long as I'm off work, as long as I have time, they will pull me in for a drink." "Then it seems that Uncle Zhong is really popular here?" Yuan Shasha felt the need to praise her. But Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "They didn't welcome me, they were afraid of me." "Afraid of you?" Officer Wang was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, you are the manager. How can these people not be afraid of you?" "Of course." Uncle Zhong took a sip of water and said leisurely: "Because, since I started to manage this street, this night market, I have experienced various conflicts." "But in the end, I settled them one by one, so these people are afraid of me. In addition to my reputation since I was young, many of them are old neighbors." "And they all know me. Even if I drink with you tonight, but tomorrow you don't manage well, I will still scold you bloody." "My temper is just like this. I'm quite irritable, but there's nothing I can do about it. I signed an agreement with the boss. I'm the guarantor for this street." Listening to Uncle Zhong's dictation, everyone looked at each other. In the remarks of the straw hat uncle before, he had indeed heard that Uncle Zhong followed up and tried to save Fenggu Street. Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Uncle Zhong went on to explain, "Because owning a stall on this street means making a fortune. As long as the product isn't too bad, you can make money." Speaking of this, Uncle Zhong began to gesture with his hands again: "For example, there is a sister Zhao here, who was considered a wealthy family back then, but later she participated in gambling, lost all her belongings, and owed more than one million yuan." "But since she set up a stall here to engage in barbecue at the night market, she has now paid off her debts and made a lot of money." "So much money?" Officer Wang was stunned when he heard this, and said involuntarily: "I only knew before that the old street is very popular, but I never thought that it would make so much money?" "Haha." Seeing Police Officer Wang's appearance of having never seen the world, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but shook his head and complained: Read it for free "It's nothing? If this street doesn't make money, why has it been a place of mixed fish and dragons for decades?" "It's because it's so profitable here. Many small businesses and hawkers have been operating here for many years, buying cars and houses in various ways." "So everyone is very grateful, and also thank me for being able to manage this street in an orderly manner." "It is precisely because of my strong management that the business environment here is getting better and better. Everyone doesn't have to spend energy on trivial things all day long." "If there is anything, I can use my own means to solve it." "So, as long as you can get a booth here, everyone is waiting to count the money." "Oh my God, you are the only one left, Uncle Zhong, otherwise this street will be demolished, it will really be over, and many people will lose their source of livelihood?" Only now did Lu Weiwei understand what Uncle Zhong meant to this street? Although Uncle Zhong looks like a grumpy old man, he is quite prestigious because he eats well in this street. Everyone pointed out that relying on Uncle Zhong's management, he could make a fortune on this street. It is precisely because of Uncle Zhong's feelings for this street that he used his actions to guarantee that this street will not be demolished. While everyone was chatting, Uncle Zhong's phone rang suddenly. Without further ado, Uncle Zhong picked up the phone and clicked on speakerphone. "Uncle Zhong, there is a peddler here, he said he seems to have seen this woman before." On the phone, a statement from an urban management came. When Uncle Zhong heard the words, he also said calmly: "Is he the only one who knows?" "Well, for now, only he has seen it. Do I need to bring him here?" the urban management said. Uncle Zhong hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of business does he do? Are you busy now?" "The shop that makes snacks is the baked oyster shop at the intersection. It seems a bit busy." As soon as the urban management finished speaking, Uncle Zhong directly suggested, "The store is busy, so don't let him come over. Let's go." "Okay, Uncle Zhong, let's go to work first, and leave the rest to you." The urban management said politely. Uncle Zhong gave a perfunctory "Yes", then hung up the phone and stood up directly. Seeing this, Gu Chen also stood up straight, and said politely to Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, thank you, you just need to tell us where the store is? We can go there." "No, I'll accompany you there." Uncle Zhong seemed to be a stubborn old man, and he didn't listen to Gu Chen's words, and walked out of the gate with his hands on his back. Seeing this, Gu Chen and the others had no choice but to follow Uncle Zhong. For a moment, an old man in a faded urban control uniform was followed by four policemen. This style of painting made the street vendors curious. However, what surprised Gu Chen was that whenever Uncle Zhong went, there would be small merchants greeting him. In the night market, many are engaged in snack business, whenever Uncle Zhong passes by, he will yell at them a few times. And these small merchants and hawkers will enthusiastically take out their own products and pass them to Uncle Zhong for him to taste. Gu Chen has only seen this style of painting in Hong Kong movies back then. Uncle Zhong walks with the wind, and he is unrestrained and unrestrained, reaping the enthusiasm of everyone. Lu Weiwei couldn't help but touched Gu Chen's arm, and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Gu, if someone lives like Uncle Zhong, then he really has no regrets." "Yes, Uncle Zhong is in this area, and he can really walk sideways without anyone stopping him. Maybe this is the prestige of the older generation here." Gu Chen didn't know how to organize his words to evaluate Uncle Zhong. But behind Uncle Zhong's chicness is his love for this street for decades. Moreover, Uncle Zhong allows all small businessmen and hawkers to make money, and even make a fortune. With such a manager, everyone naturally supports him. That's why Uncle Zhong has retired, but the relevant department still hired him back to continue managing the daily life of this street. While everyone was chatting, Uncle Zhong had already brought everyone to the door of a barbecue restaurant. The signboard is a grilled oyster store in Guangdong Province, and the main product is grilled oysters. Of course, although the name of the store is grilled oysters, there are various other products. Gu Chen has seen that the streets here, because there are so many snacks, so many people have to work hard on the signboards. You need to highlight the characteristics of your store, and let people know what the main products are in your store. Outside the store, there are many dining tables and stools. Since the storefront is here, the area at the entrance has become the expansion zone of the storefront. Uncle Zhong pointed to the sidewalk outside and said, "Usually during the day, tables and chairs are not allowed to be moved outside, but at night, parking is not allowed here, so they are allowed to be placed outside." "However, they also pay more sanitation fees, but these sanitation fees are just a drop in the bucket for their profits." Pointing to the sign above, Uncle Zhong said again: "This store has been in operation for 10 years on our street." "The owner of this shop is from our local area. When he was young, he went to Guangdong Province and worked in a snack bar. He just learned all the skills." "Later, the boss came back from Guangdong Province and set up this store on our street for 10 years." "Relying on hard work and excellent craftsmanship, I can earn a lot of money." "Uncle Zhong, are you here?" Just as Uncle Zhong introduced Gu Chen and the others, a middle-aged fat man in the shop quickly stepped forward, invited Uncle Zhong and the others to the side, and said: "Business is good today, and there are no seats left. I'll bring some stools upstairs, and you guys will sit here temporarily." The shop owner was very polite, and he put some stools aside himself, wiped Uncle Zhong's one with his sleeve, and then put on a gesture of invitation. Although it was flattering, after knowing Uncle Zhong's status in this street, everyone including Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha would not feel that there was anything wrong. Because Uncle Zhong made a lot of money in this store, can he not be greeted like the God of Wealth? "Ada, what? Did they explain it to you again?" Uncle Zhong asked. The boss named Ada immediately nodded and confirmed: "I know, I do have the impression of the photo you showed me. That woman has eaten in my shop." "Eat in your restaurant? Are you sure it's the person in the photo who wears the same clothes and looks the same in every way?" Lu Weiwei was overjoyed when she heard that. But I was afraid that the boss would admit the wrong person. But Boss Ada seemed relaxed, and said with a smile, "How could I have misunderstood someone? This woman seems to like eating oysters in my shop very much. She has been here a few times, but every time she is alone." "As you know, the business in my store is usually very good, and most of the people who come to eat in the store are in groups." "But this woman, she is alone every time, so I don't have a spare seat for her, so I moved my daughter's small desk to a corner outside and let her eat alone." "So, if you show me this photo, it's not that I, Ada, are bragging. I can recognize it at a glance." "What about her appearance? Have you seen her specific appearance?" Officer Wang hurriedly asked after seeing this. After all, the clues were not easy to come by, and everyone's expressions suddenly became tense. Boss Ada nodded silently: "Of course I have seen her specific appearance. You said that you have to wear a mask when you go out, but you can't wear a mask when you eat, right?" "I saw her face clearly when she was eating." "Then..." Lu Weiwei hurriedly looked around after hearing the words, and asked Ada, the owner of the oyster shop, "Then did the surveillance camera in your shop capture her face?" "This..." Boss Ada was a little embarrassed when asked by Lu Weiwei. He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I can only see the cashier and the door." "But she only took off the mask every time when she was eating, and put it on again when paying, and it was tightly wrapped." "So, the surveillance in my store couldn't catch it." "It's okay, do you know where she lives?" Gu Chen asked again. "This..." Ada hesitated for a few seconds, trying to remember. After a while, Ada said: "Anyway, I see her sitting here alone eating oysters, so when I'm not busy, I'll casually chat with her." "I also asked her, do you live here? Do you work here?" "Then what did she say?" Officer Wang was very nervous at the moment. Boss Ada smiled and said: "She said that she lives and works nearby. She seems to be talking about...doing sales?" "Anyway, what exactly are you doing? She seems to be talking very vaguely. Anyway, I didn't ask too much, just chatting with her casually." "That is to say, you don't know exactly where he lives?" Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at Boss Ada, and continued to ask. Boss Ada shook his head: "I'm sorry, Comrade Police, I thought I just need to tell you that she has been to my store, but I didn't expect to know her exact address?" "That's not embarrassing you, but just knowing that she has eaten with you, although this clue is important, it won't play a key role." Lu Weiwei hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "The most important thing is that she can visit your store frequently, that's the key." Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei asked again: "So, has she been to your store recently?" "Uh, no." Boss Ada shook his head. "Then when was the last time you came to your store?" Yuan Shasha also asked. Ada scratched his cheek, and said thoughtfully, "It seems...it seems like the end of last month, right?" "Last month? That is to say, she hasn't been here this month?" Officer Wang asked. Boss Ada nodded silently: "Yes." "Ah!" Hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't help shaking his head, feeling rather disappointed. After all, when he came here to eat oysters last month, he hadn't handed over the bloody letter to the police station. But now, according to the prompt, the police have found the body that had been covered in dust for a long time. As far as the current situation is concerned, the woman must know that her position may be exposed. Therefore, it is unlikely to come here to eat oysters like a month ago. Therefore, Police Officer Wang felt a little sorry. Uncle Zhong saw that Boss Ada didn't do any real help, so he couldn't help but interjected: "Ada, think about it carefully, the more detailed the better, this woman is very important to these police comrades." "I know, Uncle Zhong, but I really don't know the key point." Facing Uncle Zhong's question, Ada was quite helpless: "You also know that when I am free, I like to chat with customers, and I don't know how to inquire about people's privacy. It's impolite." "Forget it." Seeing that Ada really didn't know, Uncle Zhong waved his hand, then looked at Gu Chen and said: "Young man, I'm so sorry, that's all he can do to help." "At present, I only know that this woman has been to his restaurant to eat, and every time she is alone." "Also, this woman probably lives nearby and works in sales." "Of course, this may just be the woman's nonsense, and I don't know if it's true or not." "So..." Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong seemed to think of something wrong, so he turned his head and asked Ada again: "By the way, Ada, is that woman a local?" "No, it seems to be from another place. From the accent...it seems to be from Anhui Province, right?" "Where in Anhui Province?" I heard Boss Ada say so. Several people, including Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, suddenly exclaimed in unison. Uncle Zhong and Ada were also taken aback for a moment, and they also looked at everyone with curious eyes. Because everyone was investigating Zhao Xiaohu's identity before, and learned that he committed murder in Wan Province and was retaliated against. Moreover, Zhao Xiaohu is from Anhui Province, and he left his hometown because he was afraid of the other party's revenge. But now, Boss Ada suddenly mentioned Wan Province, which made Gu Chen and the others vigilant. "What's wrong?" Uncle Zhong asked curiously. "It's nothing." Gu Chen shook his head, walked directly to Boss Ada, and said solemnly: "Can you tell me what this woman looks like?" "Uh... Well, how about telling her what she looks like?" "I drew her." Gu Chen said. "Draw it?" Hearing what the young policeman said, Boss Ada was shocked and said with a smile: "Comrade police, are you kidding me?" "I'm not joking, I'm serious now." While speaking, Gu Chen took out the portable notebook from his equipment. Pulled out the writing pen on his chest, pulled off the pen cap, looked up at Boss Ada and said: "Boss Ada, can you tell me about the specific appearance of that woman now, for example, what is her face shape? How about her eyebrows? How about her eyes? How about her nose and mouth? And her hairstyle, you can tell me all of these." "Okay... okay." Seeing Gu Chen put on such a posture, it didn't look like he was joking with himself. So Boss Ada also started to get serious. He put his hands on his chest and thought: "As I remember, she seems to have a round face, thin eyebrows, and not very big eyes, should they have single eyelids?" "As for the nose? The nose seems to be of medium length, yes, it's about the same length as mine." Gu Chen raised his head and glanced at Boss Ada's nose, then continued to start sketching with his pen, and asked casually, "What about the mouth?" "The mouth seems...not very big, but the lips are quite thick. As for the hairstyle, it seems to be short..." While Boss Ada was explaining, Gu Chen was also listening carefully, constantly revising his paintings. As soon as Boss Ada finished speaking, Gu Chen scribbled a few words, flashed the page of the notebook in front of Ada and asked, "Is it like this?" "What... what?" Also startled by Gu Chen's sketching speed, Boss Ada stepped forward to observe carefully. After a while, Boss Ada stared at Gu Chen with an incredulous gaze and said in admiration: "Comrade policeman, your drawing skills are really good, and you finished the work so quickly? I really admire you." "Don't talk about that, just ask you, does that woman look like the one in my painting?" Gu Chen didn't like to talk to him, and asked straight to the point. Boss Ada nodded fiercely: "There are seven points similar, basically this is what it looks like, oh yes." Halfway through the conversation, Boss Ada seemed to think of something again? So he quickly told Gu Chendao: "Comrade policeman, there is a wound on the bridge of that woman's nose, it seems to be scratched by a sharp object, it's here." In order to show the specific orientation, Ada gestured with his finger, and drew a slanted line with his finger on the bridge of the nose. Gu Chen continued to pick up the writing pen, flicked a few more times, and drew the wound in an instant, and asked in front of Ada: "now what?" "Now? There is an eight-point image now." Looking up at Gu Chen, Boss Ada also smiled and said: "An octagonal image is not bad. If you use this photo to find someone, I don't think it should be a big problem." "Okay, I see." Hearing Boss Ada's words, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and took a picture of his sketch under the light of Boss Ada's shop. Then it was sent to He Junchao, and a phone call was made. He Junchao, who was on duty in the office, also answered the phone in a second and asked, "What's going on?" "Senior Brother He, I just sent you a picture, which is what the eyewitness told me." "That woman looks like this. You can help me match the color and paint it in another color." "Understood." With Gu Chen's manuscript drawing, He Junchao felt that other things were trivial to him. So after hanging up the phone, He Junchao over there immediately started to get busy. This operation left Uncle Zhong and Ada dumbfounded, not quite clear about the police's approach. At this moment, there happened to be a table of guests who had finished supper and directly asked for the bill. Only then did Ada instruct the clerk to go over and count the money. With the departure of these customers, there was finally a vacancy at the door of Ada. So Ada quickly entertained everyone and sat around the dining table. He called out to the clerk to prepare some food for everyone, and asked everyone if they had any taboos? Thinking of asking people to help, it is impossible to help in vain. It just so happened that Lu Weiwei's stomach was growling with hunger, and everyone hadn't had dinner yet. So Lu Weiwei suggested: "Junior Brother Gu, shall we settle our dinner here?" "Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, glanced at Uncle Zhong, and then invited him: "Uncle Zhong, why don't we sit down and have something to eat?" "No need." Uncle Zhong waved his hand, and said with a smile, "I don't eat and drink with vendors during working hours. This is the rule. After get off work, you can drink with me as long as you like." "So now, I'm going to work too, and I'm going to inspect the vendors on the street, and I've helped you find witnesses." "What to do next, you can find Ada, he will help you with everything, including dinner." "Okay, then thank you Uncle Zhong." Seeing Uncle Zhong go away, Gu Chen turned back. At this moment, the scent from the chimney vents immediately wafted into the street. And everyone's stomach is even more uncomfortable at this time. Fortunately, Boss Ada's efficiency is quite high, and the dishes have already begun to be served one after another. Snacks pay attention to a quick table turn, the higher the frequency, the more you earn. Therefore, Boss Ada will prepare a lot of barbecue ingredients, and the speed is first-class and fast. "Here we come." Boss Ada personally carried the tray and put it in front of everyone and said: "These are baked first, you guys eat first, and the follow-up will come soon." "Okay, then go get busy." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, picked up a bunch of grilled sausages in an instant, and ate them with relish. And Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang, everyone also started to fight. Everyone's dinner can only be settled here. When Boss Ada brought the last large portion of grilled oysters ordered by everyone to the table, He Junchao also called. Without saying a word, Gu Chen directly connected to the channel: "Senior Brother He, how are you?" "Gu Chen, I have already sent you the accompanying picture, take a look and ask the boss over there to see if it is the case?" "Okay, let me take a look first." Gu Chen didn't hang up the phone, but clicked on the chat software, and in the dialog with He Junchao, he found the color picture drawn on the computer. Because He Junchao copied it with a computer based on Gu Chen's picture, plus the color matching of human skin. Soon, a three-dimensional model of a human face was created. Gu Chen showed the phone photo in front of Boss Ada and asked, "What about now?" "Ah?" After seeing the picture on Gu Chen's phone, Boss Ada was startled and said in disbelief: "Comrade policeman, can this be drawn by you? Isn't this drawing too good? It feels like the real thing." "Boss Ada." Seeing that Boss Ada didn't answer Gu Chen's question, Lu Weiwei continued to remind: "Does this painting look like it?" "Like! Like! It's so similar! I don't even know how to express this painting." "From one to ten, how much can you score now?" Police Officer Wang also helped him list and compare. "Nine...five minutes past nine, or seven minutes past nine is also acceptable, because the painting is so similar, it feels like a real photo." Boss Ada said. "So you're sure? It's like this, right?" Gu Chen confirmed with Boss Ada again just to be on the safe side. This time Boss Ada nodded fiercely, and said involuntarily: "Comrade policeman, don't say anything, just follow this picture to find her, that woman looks like this." After hearing Boss Ada's affirmative words, Gu Chen continued to call back and said to He Junchao on the phone: "Brother He, did you hear that?" "I heard it, then I will follow this and enter the system to check." He Junchao said. So the two hung up the phone. Boss Ada was also grateful and said: "Tonight really taught me a lot. I didn't expect that you are so good at drawing?" "Being able to draw such realistic pictures in such a short period of time feels as good as a photo. If my daughter can have one-tenth of your drawing skills, then I will be thankful." "Boss Ada has a daughter? Do you still like to draw?" Lu Weiwei suddenly became interested and asked casually. Boss Ada turned around with a smile, took out a drawing book from under the small desk at the door, and showed it in front of everyone: "See? My daughter drew it." "What is this?" Lu Weiwei couldn't understand, and she couldn't help complaining, "Why is this person so abstract?" "Hehe." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Boss Ada said helplessly: "This work is called my father, and the abstract figure in it is me, her father." "Pfft!" After hearing Boss Ada's narration, Yuan Shasha on the side burst into laughter and asked curiously: "If you are painted like this, how much does your daughter hate you?" "Isn't it? I often yell at my daughter because of her homework, so she hates me too." "So, in their elementary school art class, the teacher asked all the students to draw a portrait of their father." "As a result, it's a tragedy. No matter how bad the painting is, at least it's acceptable." "But when their art teacher saw this painting, he repeatedly praised it as the most abstract villain." "Because of this, the art teacher even thought at one point, I look like this? I was really pissed off, and then she came back, and I beat her up, and I'm having a tantrum at home now." "Pfft! Boss Ada, you are really good. Your daughter is a bit like my colleague's daughter, and she is quite naughty." After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Police Officer Wang beside her, who also answered directly: "That's right, my daughter, at home, she is simply a devil in the world, and at school she is a bully." "Speaking of painting, is my daughter painting? It's drawing ghosts. I feel like I can be painted as a monster." "Haha, is that right? That's really sympathy." Hearing Officer Wang's complaint, Boss Ada also smiled teasingly. But Police Officer Wang said: "But when this child drew her mother, she drew them like fairies and angels, and I am a devil. I feel that this child is really cheating." "Hahaha." Also in a relaxed atmosphere, everyone settled for dinner in front of Ada's restaurant while investigating clues. It also made everyone instantly overwhelmed by the bustling night market of this street. As night falls, the lights come on. The neon signboards of various storefronts kept flashing. And around the street, all kinds of customers are constantly flowing, making this street very lively. All kinds of barbecue smoke permeates the air, and it is so fragrant that even people inhale the air. It is also in this environment that everyone feels the joy of dining. Friends in twos and threes get together, and there are a lot of people chatting about the world. The night market in Lao Cai kicks off after 5 pm. Uncle Zhong and the others, who were wearing urban control uniforms, still walked through the streets, criticizing all kinds of small merchants who violated the regulations and occupied the roads. While Gu Chen was admiring the night scene, he was also waiting for the final result from He Junchao. ...
