Haoge tea house
"Is this the place?"
Zhou Ze pointed at the teahouse and asked Li Tian.
"It's here. Wang Yan used to come here to play mahjong."
"Bang!"
"Three!"
As soon as he entered the teahouse, he heard a commotion. He saw that everyone was playing mahjong. Some of the mahjong tables even had cash on them. Zhou Ze frowned but did not say anything. It was fine to play mahjong as a form of entertainment, but it was illegal if it was related to gambling. However, Zhou Ze clearly had more important things to do.
"Would the three of you like to drink tea or play mahjong?”
A girl with a good figure and average face walked over and asked with a smile.
" We're the police. Is your boss here?"
Zhou Ze took out his ID.
The entire teahouse fell silent after Zhou Ze said that. Many people quickly put away the cash on the table. A few people even ran out of the door.
"Upstairs."
The waiter in front of him said nervously and quickly went up to the second floor.
Not long after, a voice came from upstairs. A middle-aged man with a crew cut, dark circles under his eyes, and tattoos on his arm walked down.
"Police officers, what can I do for you?"
There was a hint of impatience on the man's face. Last night, he had been drinking and playing in the bar until about five in the morning before going to bed. When the waiter called him just now, he was sleeping soundly. Being disturbed made him very unhappy. If the person in front of him was not a police officer, he would have scolded him long ago.
"We're investigating Wang Yan's disappearance now. I heard that Wang Yan used to like to come here to play mahjong, right?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"That was a long time ago. Wang Yan hasn't been here for a while."
the man said.
"I heard that Wang Yan owes you a lot of money from gambling. She has to return you 50,000 yuan every month. Is this true?"
Zhou Ze asked again.
" No, there's absolutely no such thing. Officers, this is a huge injustice. Look, we just play mahjong here for entertainment. There's no gambling at all. Moreover, Wang Yan never borrowed money from us." The owner of the teahouse panicked when he heard Wang Ze's words. He quickly explained. He did not want to have anything to do with Wang Yan's disappearance.
Zhou Ze frowned as he stared at the owner of the teahouse.
There was no black gas above the teahouse owner's head.
According to Wang Ze's guess, since Wang Yan had been missing for so many days, something must have happened.
There was no black smoke above the teahouse owner's head. Zhou Ze guessed that Wang Yan's accident had nothing to do with the teahouse owner. Otherwise, he would have some black smoke.
The teahouse owner felt a little pressured by Zhou Ze's stare. He thought for a while and said slowly," However, I heard that Wang Yan gambled with Li Gui and the others and lost a lot of money.
"Who is Li Gui?"
Zhou Ze said.
"Li Gui used to be a regular customer of mine. I don't know how he got rich, but he opened two hotels in the tea garden and Shannan."
the teahouse owner said.
Zhou Ze, Geng Qing, and Li Tian went to the address given by the teahouse owner.
....
In the exquisitely decorated room
"My right eye has been twitching recently. Is there a problem?"
Zhou Jie, who had a pair of phoenix eyes, an oval face, fair skin, and long hair, asked Li Gui, who was lying on the big round bed smoking.
Li Gui, forty-two years old, was tall and thin, with prominent cheekbones and a pair of slender eyes that made him look like a shrewd businessman.
"Don't worry, we can't even find the body. The police will just treat this as a normal missing person case and won't pay much attention to it. After a while, this matter will pass."
Li Gui sat up straight and pulled Zhou Jie into his arms.
Even so, Zhou Jie still felt uneasy.
"Zheng Jun and Wang Kui won't tell anyone about this, right?"
"Stop being so paranoid. Zheng Jun and Wang Kui are also accomplices. Unless they're stupid, they won't have time to hide. Why would they take the initiative to tell others about this?"
Li Gui consoled.
"Yeah," she said.
Zhou Jie's brows furrowed and she nodded, but the uneasiness in her heart did not diminish at all.
"Dong dong dong"
An ear-piercing knock sounded on the door.
Zhou Jie panicked.
"Who is it?"
Li Gui frowned and got off the bed. He went to open the door with his upper body bare and slippers on.
It was none other than Zhou Ze, Geng Qing, and Li Tian, who had come to the address given by the owner of the teahouse.
"Police officers, what can I do for you?"
Li Gui would be lying if he said that he wasn't worried when he saw the police appear at the door. His first reaction was to wonder if the police were here to arrest him. He recognized Li Tian, Wang Yan's boyfriend. He had met him once before.
However, when he thought about how the police would not be able to find the body, let alone know that he was Wang Yan's murderer, his heart slowly calmed down.
As for Zhou Ze, the moment he saw Li Gui, he knew that Wang Yan had been killed, and Li Gui was the murderer.[Sin Points: 750]
His Sin Points were 250 less than Wu Bing's last time. Perhaps Wu Bing was too cruel.
Zhou Ze knew that Li Gui was the murderer, but he did not show any emotion on his face. He shifted his gaze away from Li Gui and looked around the room. There was no black smoke other than Li Gui. It did not look like the first crime scene.
"Are you Li Gui?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"Yeah," she said.
"Does Wang Yan know? She's missing. We suspect that you're related to Wang Yan's disappearance."
Zhou Ze looked at Li Gui.
"Ah, Wang Yan is missing? She still owes me more than 300,000 yuan. I was wondering why I couldn't contact her recently."
Li Gui pretended to be very surprised and revealed the fact that Wang Yan owed him money. He had discussed this matter with Wang Kui and Zheng Jun.
First, many people already knew that Wang Yan owed him money. Even if he wanted to hide it, he might not be able to.
Secondly, it would mislead the police. Most people would think that Wang Yan owed a huge sum of money and ran away.
"Police officers, you have to find Wang Yan. Otherwise, my 300,000 yuan will go down the drain."
Li Gui said anxiously.
"Who are you lying to? How could Wang Yan borrow 350,000 yuan from you?"
Li Tian retorted with a flushed face.
"This matter is absolutely true. If I, Li Gui, am lying, let me be struck by lightning."
Li Gui said with some excitement.
Act, keep acting
Zhou Ze watched Li Gui's performance quietly. He was not surprised.
However, he had to admit that Li Gui's acting skills were superb. He acted very well and the Oscars owed him a Best Actor award.
"Hubby, what's the matter? Why is it so noisy?"
A lazy voice came from the bedroom.
"It's nothing. It's just that the police asked me about something."
Li Gui replied.
After a while, Zhou Jie came out of the bedroom.
"Hubby, what are you asking?"
Zhou Jie walked to Li Gui's side and asked softly.
"The police said that Wang Yan is missing."
"Ah, why would she disappear for no reason?"
Zhou Jie was also shocked. She immediately said," What about the money we lent her?
Geng Qing asked suspiciously," You don't have any relatives or friends. You borrowed 350,000 yuan just like that. Besides, you should know Wang Yan's job. Aren't you afraid that she can't afford it?
"To be honest with you, officer, we had the same concerns at the time. After all, 350,000 yuan is not a small amount. However, Wang Yan and Zhou Jie are classmates. They usually interact more frequently and have a good relationship. Moreover, Wang Yan said that she wanted to borrow money to buy a house. We didn't suspect anything and thought that since it was to buy a house, it was fine, so we lent it to her."
Li Gui replied.
There was nothing wrong with this answer.
