half an hour later
"Did the girl you mentioned last time who had a good relationship with Wang Yan come to work today?"
Zhou Ze asked the lady boss of the bathroom, who had a voluptuous figure and heavy makeup.
"Yes, yes. Ah Zhen came to work today. Please take a seat, I'll call her down now."
The lady boss quickly said and went upstairs to call for help. The bathroom was a gray area, so she was afraid of trouble the most, so the lady boss kept a very low profile.
After a while, the owner of the bathroom came down with a pretty girl in her twenties.
"Police officers, this is Wu Zhen. She's the best friend of Wang Yan in the bathroom."
The lady boss said to Zhou Ze and Geng Qing before turning to the girl beside her and saying," Ah Zhen, Wang Yan has gone missing. These two police officers are here to investigate Wang Yan's disappearance. You have to tell them everything you know about Wang Yan.
"Alright, Lady Boss, you can go and do your thing first. Let us talk alone for a while. I'll call you if there's anything."
Zhou Ze interrupted her.
"Alright, alright."
After the lady boss left, Zhou Ze asked Wu Zhen to sit down and said," Don't be nervous. We're just asking about the situation. Just tell us what you know. When was the last time you saw Wang Yan?
Wu Zhen looked a little nervous. After thinking for a moment, he said, It was the Saturday before last. After work that day, Sister Wang Yan asked me to borrow money. She said that she needed it urgently, but I didn't have the money, so I didn't lend it to her. The next day, she didn't come to work, so I thought she was on leave.
"She borrowed money from you? How much?"
Zhou Ze asked with a frown.
"Fifty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand is not a small amount. Did you ask her why she borrowed so much money?"
Zhou Ze asked again.
" I did, but she didn't say anything. She even told me not to tell her boyfriend, Li Tian."
"Why didn't you tell your boyfriend that you borrowed so much money?”
Geng Qing muttered.
"Does Wang Yan have the habit of playing cards?"
Zhou Ze suddenly asked. He knew that girls who worked in bathhouses did not have a high education level. They did not have much entertainment either. They usually played cards to kill time.
" Wang Yan used to like to play cards. She would only come back at one or two o'clock. She and Li Tian had quarreled a few times over this, but she seemed to have thought it through. I haven't seen her play cards since."
Zhou Ze felt like he had an idea after hearing what Wu Zhen said.
"Then do you know who Wang Yan usually plays cards with and where she usually goes?"
Zhou Ze asked again.
" I don't know about that, but you can ask Li Tian. I remember there was once when Wang Yan got into an argument with Li Tian. It was because Wang Yan didn't come home at midnight to play cards with three guys, so Li Tian went over to fight with them."
Wu Zhen thought for a moment and said.
"Alright, then bring me to Wang Yan's room where she usually works. I'll see if I can find any clues."
Zhou Ze said.
"Alright," she said.
Wu Zhen hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Wu Zhen showed Zhou Ze and Geng Qing where Wang Yan usually worked.
There was no notification from the system.
Out of the bath shop
"Brother Zhou, do you have any ideas?"
Geng Qing asked. He was currently confused and had no clue.
Zhou Ze glanced at Geng Qing and frowned." It wasn't certain yet. He had to find Li Tian first.
Since Li Tian was the one who reported the case, Zhou Ze had Li Tian's number in his phone. Zhou Ze called Li Tian and asked him to meet him at Rongyang Street Central Garden.
About half an hour later, Li Tian arrived.
Li Tian, 26 years old. He looked honest and had a strong body. His job was to help people operate excavators.
"Officer Zhou, did you two call me over because you have news about Wang Yan?"
Li Tian asked when he saw Zhou Ze and Geng Qing. He looked anxious. It seemed like he really liked Wang Yan.
"We do have a few eyebrows, but we still have a few questions for you."
Zhou Ze nodded.
Li Tian looked a little disappointed, but he still said," If you have any questions, ask them. I will tell you everything I know.
"I heard that Wang Yan used to like playing cards. You guys often fought because of this. Is this true?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"Yeah," she said.
Li Tian nodded.
"Then does Wang Yan usually play cards big?"
Zhou Ze asked again.
" In the beginning, Wang Yan only played 1 yuan of mahjong. Even if she didn't lose much, she would only lose tens or hundreds of yuan. I didn't say anything, but later on, she played more and more. There was even a time when she took 5,000 yuan from my drawer and lost all of it. We had a big fight over this matter. After that, she restrained herself a lot, but not long after, she became the same as before."
"Then do you know when Wang Yan stopped gambling?"
Li Tian thought about it and said," This year's Spring Festival, she told me that she would never gamble again. I thought she was just saying it. After all, she had said this many times before. However, every time after a few days, she couldn't help but gamble again. I didn't expect Wang Yan to be serious this time. After that, she really stopped gambling."
"Did Wang Yan borrow money from you?" Wang Ze asked.
"In April, she said that her younger brother got into a fight with someone and injured him in the hospital. She needed 50,000 yuan. I didn't think much about it and gave her all the 30,000 yuan I saved."
Zhou Ze had a reasonable guess after hearing Li Tian's answer.
According to Li Tian, Wang Yan had stopped gambling after the Spring Festival. For a gambler, it was not easy to kick her addiction. Unless something happened, Wang Yan would not be so determined to kick her addiction.
In April, Wang Yan borrowed fifty thousand yuan from Li Tian, and in August, she borrowed fifty thousand yuan from Wu Zhen. Wang Yan borrowed money so frequently. Combined with her previous behavior, Zhou Ze was almost certain that Wang Yan owed a lot of money from gambling.
"Do you know that Wang Yan borrowed 50,000 yuan from Wu Zhen a few days before she disappeared?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"I don't know. It can't be."
Li Tian was shocked.
"According to what you said before and Wang Yan's various actions, I suspect that Wang Yan gambled during the Spring Festival and owed a large sum of money."
Zhou Ze stood up from the stool.
"How could that be? Wang Yan never told me about it."
Li Tian couldn't believe it.
"Can she tell you this kind of thing?"
Geng Qing glanced at Li Tian and said," If that was the case, Wang Yan might have run away.
Zhou Ze frowned.
Did Wang Yan run away? It was possible. It was normal for her to run away after owing so much money. However, she should have run away long ago. Besides, Wang Yan borrowed 50,000 yuan from Li Tian in April and then borrowed money from Wu Zhen. If she wanted to run away, there was no need to do so.
Of course, it was also possible that Wang Yan could not borrow money, so she chose to run away. In any case, it was possible.
Zhou Ze asked Li Tian,"Do you know who Wang Yan usually plays mahjong with?"
"I know."
