Finding customer information is not a very laborious task, but for Wantai Restaurant, it is a headache.

The manager on duty led Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Bai Xiaolan to the office.

Then I opened my computer and opened the customer information folder in it, and found the meal record on the 10th of last month.

For the accurate grasp of customer information, in fact, Wantai Hotel has its own set of operating procedures.

Meals are recorded every day, and the customer's name is left when the order is signed.

The restaurant will be able to quickly find out if the customer is a restaurant member through the customer's signature.

Of course, finding a restaurant is a technical task for new employees, but for veteran restaurant employees, keeping an eye on the customers who have eaten is the basic requirement for a first-class hotel restaurant.

Even in the world, in the top restaurants, there are often doormen who have specialists who are responsible for remembering the appearance and names of customers, of course, depending on the amount of tip.

"Found it. The manager on duty clicked on a male customer's information.

Suddenly, the system quickly displayed the man's records.

His name was ...... Lu Benxiong?" Bai Xiaolan read silently.

Lu Weiwei on the side was immediately stunned: "It turned out to be my own family, the surname Lu is rare in Jiangnan City." ”

"What did he do?" asked Officer Wang.

The manager on duty did not dare to slack off and continued to pull up the scroll bar with the mouse.

Suddenly, the long customer information has been pulled down for a long period of time, and finally bottomed out.

"So many?" Gu Chen also frowned, and asked, "You have recorded so much, so you have to write down everyone's home address, right?"

"Its ...... Actually, there are. The manager on duty pointed to the home address bar in the middle.

Officer Wang said with a black face: "Is it any wonder that your Wantai Hotel restaurant does not let the police send information, and you record so much privacy of other people's families?"

"Police...... Comrade policeman, this ...... All high-end hotels and restaurants will do this, especially these high-end consumer groups, which are important customer resources, including their birthday, what their preferences are, we have to pay attention to details. ”

"Especially on their birthdays, we not only give gifts to customers, but also invite them to the restaurant for dinner, and we will give them certain discounts......

The manager on duty told many of the business ideas of Wantai Hotel restaurants, which everyone really believed, because Longsheng Catering Company did just that.

However, compared with the more than 20 stores of Longsheng Catering, there is only one restaurant in Wantai Hotel, so the customer group is relatively single, and the repeated dining of high-consumption groups is even more valuable.

But Gu Chen's focus is not here, but to find Lu Benxiong's career column.

"Lu Benxiong, male, 33 years old, vice president of Jiangnan Huasheng Real Estate......"

After looking at Lu Benxiong's basic profile, Gu Chen found that Wantai Hotel Catering Company, and even Lu Benxiong's income is expected to have statistics.

"Annual salary plus dividends plus bonuses...... 600,000?" Gu Chen looked up at the manager on duty beside him and asked, "You even have to record this?"

"Hehe, according to the basic profile of the customer, ask a professional data company to do a survey. "The manager on duty was also quite embarrassed.

Because the current catering company also takes into account the data of some customers, which is used to inject reference into other projects of the parent company.

Wantai Group is actually a real estate company, with many industries, and Wantai Hotel and Restaurant is actually only one of the industries under Wantai Group.

It is also normal for customers to convert into potential consumer groups in other industries of the parent company, so it is particularly important to do data.

"Is it accurate?" asked Gu Chen.

The manager on duty said: "It's basically eight or nine without leaving ten, and the error is not big." ”

"Then let's go find him now, maybe my cousin is at his house. Bai Xiaolan is now bent on finding Zhao Xiaomin, and she doesn't want to wait any longer.

"Wait a minute, don't worry. Gu Chen first stabilized Bai Xiaolan, and then asked the manager on duty: "This Lu Benxiong has consumed many times in your restaurant, is it all with this young woman?"

Gu Chen took out Zhao Xiaomin's photo......

The manager on duty nodded: "That's right, except for this woman, I came with customers at other times." ”

"Senior Brother Wang. Gu Chen turned around and looked at Officer Wang.

"I know. Officer Wang understood what Gu Chen meant, and said, "I'm going to call the bureau and ask the comrades in the bureau to check and see the basic situation of Lu Benxiong." ”

"Since he works for Jiangnan Huasheng Real Estate Company, then we might as well squat before he gets off work and see where he has been recently, after all, if Zhao Xiaomin is really kidnapped by him, he will not be stupid enough to hide at home, I think it must be a very secret place." ”

Lu Weiwei also expressed her opinion.

Gu Chen and Officer Wang looked at each other, and both agreed with Lu Weiwei's opinion.

As far as the current situation is concerned, everyone does not know what kind of person Lu Benxiong is.

Of course, Lu Benxiong invited Zhao Xiaomin to dine here several times, and the relationship between the two must be unusual.

In addition, in addition to Zhao Xiaomin's dining with Lu Benxiong in the circle of friends, he basically dined with Bai Xiaolan.

Therefore, from this point of view, Lu Benxiong should be the "he" mentioned in Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary.

Moreover, judging from Lu Benxiong's financial resources and appearance, he does belong to the type that is popular with girls.

5 p.m.

The gate of Jiangnan Huasheng Real Estate Development Company.

Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan changed the police car into a civilian car, parked the car in the roadside parking space, and waited quietly.

Not long after, Lu Benxiong walked out of the building, surrounded by several male and female subordinates.

After chatting with a few people on the side of the road for a while, he got into a black Mercedes and left directly to the right side of the road.

"Keep up. Officer Wang said.

Gu Chen started the vehicle and quickly chased after him.

On the road, the situation of finding being followed, then turning left and right on the street to throw off the tail car did not appear.

The black Mercedes did not take a detour ahead, but drove directly along the normal route to the home, a high-end residential area near the gymnasium.

Then, the black Mercedes drove into the underground parking lot and parked the car in a fixed parking space.

Lu Benxiong took out his black leather bag and walked slowly towards the elevator.

And just as the elevator was about to close, a pair of hands suddenly jammed the elevator door.

Immediately after, the elevator doors opened.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang walked into the elevator at the same time.

Looking at the three policemen who suddenly broke in, Lu Benxiong instinctively stepped back, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Gu Chen saw that the lights on the 27th floor of the elevator were on, and he didn't press the button again, and followed the elevator all the way up.

Lu Benxiong also noticed this small detail of the three policemen, and simply moved it back half a bit, saying that these three policemen also followed him to the 27th floor, is there a situation?

"Your name is Lu Benxiong?" asked Gu Chen, who was facing the elevator door with his back to Lu Benxiong.

Lu Benxiong was immediately startled, his body suddenly leaned on the elevator, and he was stunned: "No...... That's right. ”

"You are 33 years old and currently working at Huasheng Real Estate Company?" Officer Wang, who was also facing the elevator door and had his back to Lu Benxiong, also asked.

Lu Benxiong was a little panicked at this moment, it seems that these three policemen came specifically to find him?

"I didn't ...... Yes, but how do you know?"

"You don't care about that. Lu Weiwei, who also had her back to Lu Benxiong, immediately asked: "Let me ask you, do you know a woman named Zhao Xiaomin?"

"She?" Lu Benxiong's whole face turned pale.

He was now 200 percent sure that the three policemen had come here to look for him.

"Do you know each other?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Thinking that since the police can find him, he must have investigated himself, and denying it now will show that he has a problem.

After thinking about it again, Lu Benxiong nodded and said, "That's right, I know Zhao Xiaomin, but what does this have to do with you coming to me?"

"Ding!"

Just as Lu Benxiong finished saying this, the elevator came to the 27th floor, and then the elevator door opened.

Gu Chen was the first to get out of the elevator and looked back at Lu Benxiong.

And Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were on both sides, sandwiching Lu Benxiong in the middle.

"Let's talk about something when we come out, why don't we go to your house and sit down. Gu Chen also gave advice.

Lu Benxiong is now completely confused.

After getting off work, he was followed to his home by three police officers and asked to sit at home.

And when these policemen mentioned Zhao Xiaomin, it seemed that they wanted to ask about Zhao Xiaomin's situation, but Zhao Xiaomin seemed to be a knot in Lu Benxiong's heart, and he didn't want to mention it.

"Not happy?" Officer Wang couldn't help but ask more when he saw that Lu Benxiong didn't dare to step out of the elevator door.

"This ...... Of course, this is no problem. Thinking that he couldn't hide, and the police had already come to the door, Lu Benxiong simply nodded and agreed: "Three of you, please come with me." ”

Lu Benxiong took out the key, opened the door, and invited a few people to come in and sit down.

As soon as she entered the door, Lu Weiwei touched Gu Chen's shoulder with sharp eyes, and prompted Gu Chen to look at the wall of the living room with her eyes.

In the back row of the sofa in the living room is a wedding photo framed by a gold frame.

The male protagonist in the photo is Lu Benxiong himself, but the bride in the photo is someone else.

"So he's married? When Lu Weiwei saw all this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her fists creaked.

Xin said that it was fortunate that Bai Xiaolan didn't come up, and it was really a wise choice to let her stay in the car.

With the relationship between Bai Xiaolan and her cousin Zhao Xiaomin, if you knew that this Lu Benxiong was a married man, she would have to rush up and fight him, and no matter how bad a few slaps she had, she would have to be beaten.

Lu Benxiong poured out three cups of water from the water dispenser, put them on the coffee table in turn, and said, "Three of you, please drink water." ”

"Thank you. Gu Chen moved the water cup to the side, took out the transcript at random, placed it in front of him, and turned on the law enforcement recorder.

"Lu Benxiong, you also come and sit. Gu Chen pointed to the sofa not far away and said, "We came to you this time to ask about the relationship between you and Zhao Xiaomin. ”

Zhao ...... Zhao Xiaomin?" When Lu Benxiong heard this name, his eyes were in a trance, he unconsciously touched his nose, and then sat quietly on the side.

"Are you friends with Zhao Xiaomin?" asked Gu Chen.

"Yes...... Yes. Lu Benxiong lowered his head and spoke in a very small tone.

"Are you still lovers?" Gu Chen asked again.

At this time, Lu Benxiong changed his silent performance just now, and quickly waved his hand to clarify: "Police...... Comrade policeman, don't be kidding, Zhao Xiaomin and I are just ordinary friends, and I ...... I'm married. ”

When Lu Benxiong said this, he lowered his head silently.

It seems that Gu Chen's question is too straightforward, and he is not prepared at all, so he directly asks if the relationship between the two is lovers.

This made Lu Benxiong unable to answer for a while, and he did not react from the state at all.

However, for Gu Chen, the basic situation of Lu Benxiong has also been investigated in advance, and there is no need to beat around the bush, at least those basic processes can be directly filtered.

Just like eating, you can skip the dessert and go straight to the main course.

Importantly, most of the people who are questioned often have no time to hide their reactions, and various emotional reactions are obvious.

"You're married? Gu Chen saluted first and then soldiers, and said: "But since you have a family, why do you have frequent interactions with Zhao Xiaomin, and often invite her to high-end restaurants to eat, and it seems that your relationship is quite good." ”

Lu Weiwei obviously didn't like the matter of the married scumbag dating Zhao Xiaomin, so Lu Benxiong's questioning obviously had a hint of torture.

"Is this important?" Lu Benxiong was puzzled: "Is it illegal for ordinary friends to sit down for a meal, or to eat a few more meals at a high-end restaurant?"

Lu Benxiong picked up his drinking cup and silently brought the cup to his mouth.

"You don't have to say this for now, then please tell me, when was the last time you saw Zhao Xiaomin, what did you all say?" Gu Chen asked again.

This time, Lu Benxiong was suddenly stunned for a moment, looked at the ceiling with his eyes raised, and recalled: "The last time I saw her, it seems to be two weeks ago." ”

"What about the last call time?" Officer Wang hurriedly asked.

"That was probably a week ago, I don't know exactly what day. Lu Benxiong said slowly, but suddenly his expression was stunned, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"She's missing. Officer Wang said.

Hearing this, Lu Benxiong suddenly seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt from a sunny day, his whole face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes looked at a few people in a daze, and then he said, "What...... How is it possible, this is impossible, how can a good person suddenly disappear from a big living person?"

Lu Benxiong looked at Gu Chen, at Officer Wang, and at Lu Weiwei, with incredulity in his eyes.

"Comrade policeman, this ...... What the hell is going on? Why did Zhao Xiaomin disappear? Why is that?"

"Why don't you have points in your heart?" Lu Weiwei looked at Lu Benxiong's innocent face and couldn't help but say in disgust: "You said that you and Zhao Xiaomin are ordinary friends, but why is Zhao Xiaomin's essay record all about you?"

"What is the relationship between the two of you?" Officer Wang also said directly: "Today, you make it clear to me, whether you deny it, we will take you back to the police station for investigation first, don't expect us to do a thorough investigation of the good things you did in the past few months." ”

Why did Officer Wang dare to say this?

Judging by his own experience, in fact, Lu Benxiong and Zhao Xiaomin obviously had a relationship, but later Lu Benxiong's attitude towards Zhao Xiaomin changed, causing Zhao Xiaomin to be depressed.

This also verifies the mood changes in Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary that have begun in recent months.

Lu Benxiong was married, which the police did not grasp before, so it can be seen that this guy is not a serious person.

"I ...... I say. Seeing the resolute attitude of the police, Lu Benxiong knew that he could not hide from the police if he lied fearlessly, so he had to tell his relationship with Zhao Xiaomin one by one.

"Actually...... Actually, Zhao Xiaomin and I met three years ago. ”

"What? You met three years ago?" Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it, and asked again, "Then what year did you get married?"

"Last year. Lu Benxiong said.

"Scumbag. Lu Weiwei was open-mouthed, and after hearing this situation, she scolded directly: "Since you have already been married, why do you still provoke Zhao Xiaomin? You hurt her so badly, do you know?"

"Lu Weiwei, calm down. Seeing that Lu Weiwei had the urge to rush up and beat Lu Benxiong, Officer Wang hurriedly reminded on the side.

"You're right. Lu Benxiong lowered his head and said frustratedly: "I shouldn't have provoked her, but we are just ordinary friends, I don't treat her as a lover, I have been married." ”

"You talk nonsense. Lu Weiwei felt that this Lu Benxiong still refused to explain honestly, and she was not angry: "Ordinary friends, you will ask Zhao Xiaomin to a high-end restaurant in a row? And it's two people." ”

"And from Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary, it seems that you first provoked her, and then began to snub her, and now she suddenly disappeared, is it related to you?"

Lu Weiwei's series of questions really made Lu Benxiong difficult to handle.

But what Lu Weiwei said was reasonable, and Lu Benxiong, who knew this well, couldn't resist at all.

"Comrade policeman, Zhao Xiaomin's disappearance really has nothing to do with me, we haven't been in touch for a week, you can check the call record for this. Lu Benxiong spread his hands innocently, and then held his head and lowered his head, feeling that this matter was a bit troublesome.

Gu Chen said: "Have you started from your previous friendship two months ago to become a little mutually exclusive? Or ...... Did you have some unpleasant conflict with each other one day two months ago?"

According to Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary, two months ago, it was also when Zhao Xiaomin began to be depressed.

Unlike the essays written in the previous transcripts, it seems that two months ago was a watershed moment, and something must have happened in it.

"Two months ago, two months ago?" Lu Benxiong tried to recall, and it didn't take long for him to say: "I know, that's right, two months ago, we had an unpleasant dinner before, that's right, since that day, Xiao Min's attitude seems to have undergone some subtle changes, I know, it must be that time." ”
