"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to. Gu Chen hurriedly took out a tissue and helped the man wipe his upper body.

"It's okay, I walked carelessly, and it has nothing to do with you. The man also put the Coke in his hand on a flower bed and patted the Coke on his chest.

The waitress also brought the paper towels from the store and said, "It's okay, there is a dryer in the bathroom of our store, and Mr. will put the wet clothes on the dryer and blow them a few times." ”

"Hehe, there's no need to be so troublesome, it's because I'm not careful when I walk. ”

The man still insisted on not using it, but Gu Chen on the other side was stunned.

"Teacher Jiang?" Gu Chen called him coldly.

Jiang Wentao raised his head and looked at the handsome Gu Chen in front of him, and suddenly his mind surged: "Eh, aren't you...... You're not, eh, I think I've seen you somewhere. ”

"Last night, Riverside Park, you almost hit a street lamp while walking. Gu Chen also reminded kindly.

Jiang Wentao was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be you, why did I say it was so familiar?

"With a couple of colleagues. Gu Chen said.

"Oh, that's good. Jiang Wentao also nodded, looking absent-minded.

But Gu Chen suddenly found that Jiang Wentao's ring finger was wrapped in a circle of bandages, and he couldn't help but be curious: "What's wrong with Teacher Jiang's hand?"

"Hand?" Jiang Wentao raised his left hand, only then did he react, and said with a smile: "Hey, yesterday I was accidentally scratched by a rusty guardrail in Binhai Park, and I bled a lot, but it doesn't matter, the doctor has already helped me reduce inflammation and bandage, and it's out of the way." ”

"Teacher Jiang, don't be half-hearted when walking, I've bumped into you a few times, if it's someone else, I don't know how many times. Gu Chen also teased a few words.

After all, since the first time he met Jiang Wentao, Jiang Wentao has always liked to walk and think about problems.

If it weren't for himself last night, Jiang Wentao would have crashed directly into the lamppost.

And just now he was walking normally, but Jiang Wentao was still thinking with his head down, and he didn't notice Gu Chen, and as a result, half of the Coke in his hand was spilled.

"Yes, yes, I've been thinking about a lot lately, so I'm a little careless. Jiang Wentao also laughed twice, and said apologetically: "I still have a few friends waiting for me over there, so I'll go first." ”

"Okay. Gu Chen nodded and moved out of the way.

Seeing Jiang Wentao, he walked to the seat in the same row as Gu Chen with half a glass of Coke.

Two tables of people sit at opposite ends of the same row.

Gu Chen clearly saw that in addition to Jiang Wentao, Xu Tian, who transferred 10 yuan today, was also there, and the other person Gu Chen didn't know, with a small flat head and a little burly.

Returning to her seat, Lu Weiwei instantly asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Gu, who was talking to you in the corridor just now?"

"An old acquaintance, you also know. "Gu Chen deliberately sold Guanzi.

Lu Weiwei suddenly became even more curious: "Acquaintance? And it's an acquaintance we also know? Who is it?"

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly looked at Officer Wang beside her and asked, "Lao Wang, do you have any impression?"

Officer Wang shook his head: "Why don't I remember this person? Could it be our Jiangnan City Police Force? It's not right, and I don't look like a policeman when I look at my back." ”

"It's Jiang Wentao. Seeing that neither of them could guess, Gu Chen simply told the other party's identity.

"Jiang Wentao?!"

Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were surprised almost at the same time.

Lu Weiwei stretched her neck even more, glanced at the end of the same row, and said, "Why is Jiang Wentao here, shouldn't he also compete for the 80,000 yuan bonus?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Officer Wang glanced back at him, then turned his head and said, "Jiang Wentao's age is here, how can he be compared to a boy of Gu Chen's level, you think too much." ”

Gu Chen also smiled and said, "Not only Jiang Wentao, but I also found another acquaintance." ”

"Another acquaintance, Senior Brother Gu, don't you want to say it, let me guess. Lu Weiwei suddenly had a sense of instant guessing the lantern riddle.

thinks that the acquaintance is Jiang Wentao, and the acquaintance who is related to Jiang Wentao is not only Xu Tian?

"It's Xu Tian, right?" Lu Weiwei's eyes widened, staring at Gu Chen expectantly.

Gu Chen nodded: "That's right, it's him, there is another stranger with them, I don't know that person, they seem to be having a dinner." ”

"Huh. Officer Wang also couldn't help but say: "This Jiang Wentao and Xu Tian should be regarded as old friends, and they must have not been together for many years." ”

"And Jiang Wentao is away all the year round, so he is so busy that he can't get along, it's rare to meet old friends in Jiangnan City, and he always has to get together, which is also normal, and the relationship between friends also needs to be kept fresh. ”

Gu Chen hesitated: "But I think that the relationship between Jiang Wentao and Xu Tian does not seem to be as harmonious as outsiders see, but I think there is a contradiction between these two." ”

Gu Chen instantly broke Officer Wang's words, which made Officer Wang also stunned, and quickly turned around and looked at it a few more times.

With five or six tables of customers, Officer Wang could barely see a few people communicating.

As for what exactly is being exchanged between Jiang Wentao and Xu Tian, it is unknown.

Officer Wang is not as gossip as Lu Weiwei, nor as curious as Gu Chen.

At work, Officer Wang, who is one and two is two, almost cares about things outside of work.

Originally, he was already tired like a dog in the substation, but after work, Officer Wang just wanted to live a leisurely life, he was not interested in other people's affairs, and just wanted to be an ordinary person happily.

"Gu Chen, you may be too worried. Officer Wang took a sip of his drink and began to use his knife to cut through the newly served pizza.

Lu Weiwei also asked Gu Chen while cutting the pizza, "Did Senior Brother Gu see something?"

After speaking, he sandwiched a large piece of pizza into Gu Chen's plate.

"There's no definite evidence, and if there is, it's probably my own intuition. Of course, Gu Chen knew that it was ridiculous for him to say this.

Of course, intuition is also very important for the police to handle cases.

Many suspicious and difficult points are often found through the intuition of the police.

In other words, this intuition comes from muscle memory, and it is the confidence that has been slowly accumulated through various large and small cases.

Experience is the foundation, intuition is the driving force.

But Gu Chen's intuition has always been a bit powerful, which Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei both deeply felt.

"Senior Brother Gu, let's talk about it. Lu Weiwei bit the crispy pizza, and couldn't help but say: "Have you found any suspicious problems, anyway, if you don't work overtime tonight, you can just talk about it." ”

"Lu Weiwei, are you so gossipy?" Officer Wang ate a mouthful of oil, but saw that Gu Chen had not moved, so he hurriedly urged again: "Gu Chen, you eat it quickly, this kind of thing has to be eaten while it is hot, if it is cold, it will not feel like this, and the taste will deteriorate." ”

Gu Chen took the fork, used the pizza on the plate as a toy, poked it back and forth a few times, and said, "When I saw Xu Tian and Jiang Wentao meeting last night, I found that Jiang Wentao's eyes were obviously different when he saw Xu Tian. ”

"What's the difference?" Lu Weiwei turned her head to look at Gu Chen: "Is it the joy or excitement when you meet your friends?"

"It's neither, it's fear. Gu Chen said.

"What...... What?" Lu Weiwei was also stunned for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Fear? This is how old acquaintances feel when they meet?

"Could it be that you read it wrong at night?" Officer Wang had already gobbled up his share and began to attack the middle one again.

"No, it won't. Gu Chen shook his head and continued: "When Xu Tian shook hands with Jiang Wentao, he was obviously trying his best, and I could even feel the pain on Jiang Wentao's face. ”

Saying this, Gu Chen sat up straight and moved forward slightly: "Do you know?" Xu Tian seemed to be shaking hands to put pressure on Jiang Wentao. ”

"Poof!" Lu Weiwei couldn't hold back, and couldn't help laughing, but quickly corrected himself and said, "I'm sorry Senior Brother Gu, I feel that what you said is becoming more and more mythical." ”

"yes. Officer Wang on the other side also said: "Last night, we had a total of time to meet Jiang Wentao and Xu Tian, in such a short time, you can see so many cats? It's incredible, right?"

"However, Senior Brother Gu has always played cards according to routines, and his observation is much stronger than ordinary people. Lu Weiwei also took a sip of her drink and continued: "I believe Senior Brother Gu, maybe this Xu Tian and Jiang Wentao are not only old acquaintances, but also old enemies. ”

"Haha, you two are so funny. Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, making up stories one by one, and couldn't help but complain.

What is called natural neuroticism, I'm afraid these two are.

There are too many cases, and it is inevitable that the pressure will be too great, and some small details of getting along with people will be magnified to this extent by the two, and sure enough, suspicion is also an occupational disease.

Just when everyone was teasing each other and dismantling each other, the man with the head of the board who was sitting with Xu Tian and Jiang Wentao just now walked towards the toilet leisurely.

Not long after, Xu Tian left his seat and walked towards the end of the aisle, just happened to meet a waitress, so he asked, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?"

The waitress pointed to the road behind her and said, "You go all the way here, come to the front desk and go left, and then turn a corner." ”

"Thank you. Xu Tian thanked him and left.

Lu Weiwei said with a smile: "What kind of eyes does Xu Tian have, we are sitting at this intersection, and he didn't even notice it." ”

"Who do you think you are, and expect men all over the world to know you?" Officer Wang once again settled the weight of the plate and continued to attack the middle.

Lu Weiwei glanced at Officer Wang and said, "Pay attention to the appearance, anyway, tonight is free, it's still a blessing for the junior brother, this meal is not counted, you have to invite it again next time." ”

"I knew you would say that. Officer Wang had already guessed that Lu Weiwei would not give up if the unit of measurement for potato chips in stock had not been used up, and she had already been mentally prepared.

Gu Chen said indifferently: "Anyway, you can still order it after eating, I found that the pizza on the next table is also delicious." ”

"Uh-huh. Lu Weiwei hurriedly picked up the napkin on the table, dipped the diced meat on the corner of her mouth, and said: "I just wanted to say that their table looks like a lot of weight, much better than ours, but the price is also high." ”

Turning her eyes to Officer Wang again, Lu Weiwei said again: "It's not that Lao Wang is stingy, he ordered the cheapest pizza." ”

"I want to know that this meal can be freed, then of course I will order it expensive, isn't it afraid of overspending. Officer Wang also has his own set of rhetoric.

Lu Weiwei didn't care about this, and said: "I will continue to order later, which one is the most expensive and delicious, you can order another one, just enough to eat, and don't ask to take advantage of others." ”

"You're a foodie and you're still kind? hypocrisy. Officer Wang couldn't help complaining.

But at the same time that several people were teasing each other, the man with the head of the board just now happened to come from the direction of the bathroom.

During this time, he collided with a running little boy.

The man ignored the boy and continued to return to his seat.

The little boy got up on his own, patted his butt and ran away.

At this moment, Jiang Wentao also left his seat, walked in the direction of the bathroom, and disappeared around the corner.

Gu Chen sat on the side, originally wanting to say hello, but several people were in a hurry.

After a while, Jiang Wentao came out of the bathroom, and after ordering some more food at the front desk, he returned to his seat with a plate.

Seeing that people were running to the toilet, Lu Weiwei, who had drunk a lot of drinks, suddenly felt a little urgent, so she asked Gu Chen beside her: "Senior Brother Gu, do you want to go to the toilet together?"

Gu Chen was asked by this, and there was a sense that girls must go to the toilet together.

Do you want to go to the toilet together?

This seems to be fine among girls, but it becomes a little weird in the ears of boys.

"Senior Brother Gu?" Seeing that Gu Chen was stunned, Lu Weiwei reminded again: "Do we want to go to the toilet together?"

"Oh well. Gu Chen also wanted to wash his face, so he simply agreed.

The two walked side by side and parted ways in the restroom hall.

Male left, female right.

Gu Chen went directly into the men's toilet.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that the imagination that only existed in the women's toilet queue actually happened in the men's toilet.

The three urinals were empty, and outside the remaining two large cubicles, two people were playing with their phones, one of whom was a fat man sitting at the next table.

At this moment, the door of one of the cubicles opened, and the man in front of the queue immediately rushed in and closed the door with a "bang".

The fat man was a little impatient, clamped his legs, and knocked on the door next door a few times: "Hurry up, the people inside have already come out several times, why haven't you come out yet?"

Gu Chen suddenly remembered Xu Tian before, he was the first to go to the toilet.

But when the man with the inch head and Jiang Wentao returned to their seats one after another, they still didn't see Xu Tian come out.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition still made Gu Chen alert.

"Has this person been in there for a long time?" Gu Chen tried to ask the fat man in front of him.

The fat man turned his head, glanced at Gu Chen, and said, "Isn't it?" Several people came out just now, and there has been no movement here, and it is impossible to squat for so long, the key is that there is no movement at all, so it is impossible to fall asleep." ”

Gu Chen frowned, and also tried to knock on the door twice: "Is there anyone inside?"

There was no movement in the cell......

The fat man suddenly said, "Are you really asleep?"

Gu Chen gently pushed the door, the door seemed to be locked inside, thinking that only Xu Tian had been to the toilet before and hadn't come out, Gu Chen was also a little embarrassed, and tried to ask a few more questions.

The result is still the same, except for the compartment next door, there are people who are flooding, but the compartment in front of him is not moving at all.

At this time, a waiter in a Western-style dress walked in with a mop.

Gu Chen also hurriedly explained the situation to him: "In this toilet cubicle, it seems that there has been no movement for a long time. ”

"Really?" the waiter also said, then raised his fist and began to slam the door of the compartment: "What's the matter with the people inside? What the hell are you doing inside? I'll bang on the door if I don't come out again!"

Even though the waiter screamed and cut his throat, it seemed that there was still no movement inside.

This made several people present start to get nervous.

The waiter turned around and said, "It seems that he has locked it up, and he can't push it away." ”

"Why don't you call the police, don't do anything bad inside?" the fat man said nervously.

At this time, the man who was in the mountains next door also came out, and after looking at a few people with strange eyes, he hurriedly left.

Gu Chen pushed away the fat man and the waiter, and said, "Let me come, if it doesn't work, then come hard, don't you have to compensate for kicking the door, right?"

The waiter shook his head: "You don't have to pay, you just slam the door open." ”

As soon as the words came, Gu Chen flew up directly and hit the door panel of the compartment directly.

Suddenly, everyone clearly saw that the bolt of the compartment was open, and the door was opened at a 25-degree angle inward, and then quickly closed.

The fat man and the waiter were also stunned, and their bodies couldn't help shrinking back.

"Door...... The door is not locked at all?" the waiter exclaimed.

"That's right. Gu Chen also hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The door is not locked at all, but the people inside have been blocking the door with their bodies." ”

"Uhhhh......h What does this person want to do?" The fat man also stepped back in fright, feeling that this men's toilet was a little weird.

Gu Chen didn't think much about it, took the initiative to step forward and pushed the door open slightly.

With the kick just now, the door of the toilet cubicle was not as hard to push with his hands as it was just now, and it seemed that someone had fallen at the door of the cubicle and blocked the door with his body.

Gu Chen used the method of constantly squeezing back and forth, pushing the door inward little by little, and soon he was able to make an angle of vacant position.

But when Gu Chen put his head into the crack of the door, he found that a man was lying motionless next to the toilet, Gu Chen took a closer look, this person was Xu Tian who had just gone to the toilet but never returned.

"Xu Tian?!" Gu Chen couldn't help but shout: "Xu Tian, what's wrong with you?"

"You...... Do you know this person?" the fat man also exclaimed: "This ...... There's no going to be a dead person in there, is there?"

"Ahh......h Let's call the police!"
