Xu Ran and the four of them were intensively investigating the bar manager.

Bar manager, name: Chen Chen, from City A, male, 28 years old, invested and opened this xx bar with his friends Kong XX and Bian XX four years ago.

The three of them are relatively good friends, and their family backgrounds are comparable.

However, among them, Bian XX and Kong XX have their own jobs, and they only regard this place as a side business, occasionally manage the bar, and care about the business situation, most of which are managed by Chen Chen in the bar.

But this bar is Chen Chen's main business, and Chen Chen has no other job, so he devotes himself to it.

And Chen Chen also accounts for the majority of the investment share of the bar.

Chen Chen's family is good, but his parents divorced when Chen Chen was young.

Chen Chen's father was also a businessman, opened a company with more than a dozen employees, Chen Chen's mother was a company director, and the two started their own families after the divorce.

After his parents divorced, Chen Chen lived with his father, and Chen Chen's father married another wife, and there was no major conflict under one roof.

Chen Chen moved out by himself when he became an adult, and his relationship with his father was not good or bad.

There are no problems with the background.

There is no criminal record.

Lao Li didn't know whether it was disappointment or emotion, he looked at Xu Ran with a frown and asked, "There is nothing wrong with it from the appearance." ”

Xu Ran said: "Let's go for another trip." ”

Xiao Wang and Lao Zhang said: "Then let's investigate Chen Chen's activities from the 29th to the 30th of last month." (The early morning of the 30th of last month was the time of the crime.) ）

Xu Ran and Lao Li didn't have any opinions, and the two left the police station and drove towards the bar.

On the way, Lao Li asked, "Ping Lan, why do you think Chen Chen will be a criminal suspect?" ”

Xu Ran sighed and said, "Feel it, investigate it first." ”

Lao Li smiled, "It's still a sale." ”

Xu Ran wanted to say that she didn't sell Guanzi, but she couldn't find a partner, and sometimes the person who was most unlikely to be the murderer might be the murderer.

There are things in this world that are just so unreasonable.

Xu Ran smiled awkwardly at Lao Li and didn't speak again.

Xu Ran and Lao Li arrived at the xx bar, and the waiter at the bar was still the same waiter as last time, wearing the staff uniform of the bar, and was busy cleaning up things.

When the girl saw Xu Ran and Lao Li, she looked surprised, obviously remembering Xu Ran and the others, but she didn't expect them to come again, walked up to the two, and shouted: "Officer? ”

Lao Li snorted, walked through a set of procedures with a straight face, and the girl was also very cooperative, and carefully looked at the documents of the two.

Immediately, Lao Li asked the girl, "What about your manager?" ”

The girl shook her head and said, "Officer, I haven't seen the manager come today." ”

Lao Li nodded and said, "Please help contact your manager, we have something to ask him." ”

The girl answered yes and took out her mobile phone to make a call.

Xu Ran looked around the bar, the bar during the day, there were no dazzling lights at night, no energetic music, and no noisy environment at night, the bar during the day seemed cold and deserted, which was very different from the bar at night.

Xu Ran took two steps and looked at the small door at the end of the corridor, walked over and pushed the door, the door was closed, she returned to the same place, the girl was talking to Chen Chen on the phone, and the girl just said that a police officer was looking for him.

Chen Chen said that he would come later, the girl hung up the phone, and Xu Ran asked the girl, "Is the small door behind you usually closed?" ”

"Little door?" The girl didn't react at first, she was slightly surprised, and then suddenly realized and asked, "You said the small door next to the toilet?" ”

Xu Ran looked at the girl lightly, nodded, and the girl immediately said, "That little door seems to have never been opened." ”

Xu Ran asked, "Then you all came in from the front gate when you went to work?" ”

"Well, we live in a staff dormitory, and the girls' dormitory is just down the street outside, so it's very convenient to go to work." The girl was still a little nervous and seemed a little restrained.

Xu Ran said casually: "Then do you have any people who don't live in the staff dormitory?" ”

"Yes, I also came in through the main entrance, there is a bus outside, and there seems to be an alley behind the small door, and you have to walk to the end of this street to get around." The girl said.

Xu Ran asked, "Do you usually spend a lot of time seeing your manager?" ”

"I see him every day, but from time to time, sometimes he comes and leaves after a while, and sometimes he leaves in the middle of the night." The girl replied.

Xu Ran asked, "Then did your manager come a lot during this time?" ”

"More, not more." The girl then shook her head and said, "It's still the same as before." ”

Lao Li asked directly: "Then do you remember that on the 29th of last month, did your manager come?" ”

The girl touched her hair, frowned and said, "I can't remember, there were a lot of guests that day, I was quite busy, I really didn't notice." ”

Xu Ran smiled and said to the girl, "Thank you for your cooperation." ”

"You're welcome, officer, our manager estimates that it will take a while, do you want to sit down and drink a glass of water." The girl also pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran and Lao Li glanced at each other, and Xu Ran said, "No, thank you." ”

The girl smiled awkwardly, busy with her own affairs, Xu Ran and Lao Li avoided the girl, found a corner, Lao Li whispered: "This girl should be telling the truth." ”

Xu Ran snorted, "Do you want to ask the other people in the store again?" ”

"Ask if anyone saw Chen Chen?" Lao Li asked rhetorically.

Xu Ran snorted, thinking that he would like to ask these waiters, it is better to ask the people who also went to the toilet when the deceased surnamed Qu went to the toilet in the surveillance video.

"Let's ask first." Lao Li said.

Xu Ran didn't care, and Lao Li found a few waiters, all of whom said that they were not impressed, but said that one waiter said that their manager was very busy, but they still came to the bar often, but they didn't stay for long.

In a state where you don't see anyone for a while, but suddenly pops up after a while.

Most people have a special kind of attention to their boss or boss, and they pay more attention than others.

Xu Ran was analyzing in his heart, if Chen Chen was like this, would it be to deepen the impression of the waiter, or confuse everyone's memory, making people think that he came often and was always there?

In this way, even if he came to the bar on the night of the 29th, no one else could remember whether he had come or not.

In everyone's impression, maybe it came, maybe it didn't.

Xu Ran wasn't sure if this was the case, what she was most afraid of was that she would put her thinking into a misunderstanding and be trapped in it and couldn't get out.

Generally speaking, the longer the case drags on, the more difficult it is to solve the case.

She dragged a group of people to spend her time here, and if she got it in the wrong direction, it was really over.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran was a little anxious, thinking calmly is the most important thing, Xu Ran silently recited the 'Tranquility Mantra' in his heart to slowly adjust his emotions and calm down an anxious heart.
