Chapter 54: Xiao Fang
Hearing this, Gu and Hu looked at each other, and their hearts were full of excitement! Gu Changzheng suppressed his excitement and said fiercely, "You better be clear, is it really Xiao Fang? If you are wrong, we two brothers won't let you off!"
"Can't be wrong! As long as the characteristics you said are correct, then it's him! This guy is always buying things on credit from me, how could I be wrong!" Bao Da Ting said firmly.
Hu Jinquan suddenly asked: "Then have you seen him these past few days?"
Bao Da Ting showed a strange expression, looked at Gu Changzheng, then at Hu Jinquan, and asked: "Who is looking for him? You two don't look like you are married. Are you girlfriends? Was your girlfriend snatched away by Xiao Fang?"
Only then did Gu Changzheng understand why he looked at them with that strange expression!
He immediately made an angry expression and said: "Never mind that, just tell me, have you seen him these past few days?"
Bao Da Ting laughed cheaply: "Haven't seen him for a few days!"
"Are you sure?"
"He rides that red motorcycle of his every time, 'tut-tut-tut-tut', noisy as hell, how could I be wrong? Besides, he still owes me cigarette money, how could I not keep an eye on him!"
"Then do you know where he lives?" Gu Changzheng continued to ask.
"I really don't know this. Those who come here, I guess their names aren't even real, so how would they tell me where they live!" Bao Da Ting showed an impatient expression and said: "I've told you everything I know, don't delay my business!"
Gu Changzheng smiled: "Which dance hall does Xiao Fang often play in, or do you know which hostess he has a good relationship with?"
Bao Da Ting rolled his eyes and said: "Little brother, the information fee is used up! If you want to ask other things, you have to pay again!"
Gu Changzheng smiled: "How about we find him and help you get back the money he owes you? Anyway, you don't have time to find him."
Bao Da Ting thought for a moment and said: "It's a deal!" Seeing Gu Changzheng nod, he pointed to the sign made of neon lights on the storefront across the street and said: "Go to the Luohua Dance Hall and ask. If Xiao Fang comes, he is basically in that one."
Gu Changzheng and Hu Jinquan exchanged glances, thanked Bao Da Ting, and walked slowly toward the Luohua Dance Hall.
At this time, the dance hall was quiet. A few waiters wearing red vests and black bow ties were sitting at a loose table. Seeing Gu and Hu enter, a male waiter stood up and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
The two were stunned! What? We don't look like we are here to consume?
How did they know that these waiters, who didn't look old, had extremely sharp eyes! For people who often enter and exit dance halls, they could tell at a glance, and Gu and Hu didn't look like they were here to play at all!
After Gu Changzheng was stunned, he simply straightened his face, tucked his handbag under his left arm, and said in a loud voice: "We are from the Public Security Bureau's Public Order Brigade. Call your boss out!" As he spoke, he took out his police officer ID and shook it!
He knew that pretending to be a guest wouldn't work, so he simply said he was from the Public Order Brigade. These people were not afraid of criminal police, but the Public Order Brigade could make their legs soft.
Sure enough! As soon as his voice fell, another young man who looked like a manager hurriedly came over with a smile, handing out cigarettes while saying: "Oh, two leaders, why didn't I see Team Leader Ma come over?"
Gu Changzheng knew this was testing them! He didn't even look at the young man in front of him, nor did he take the cigarette, just looking around. Hu Jinquan immediately understood and cooperated: "What? This is our Team Leader Gu, does Team Leader Ma have to come? Why don't you give him a call?"
Hu Jinquan knew that the Team Leader Ma the young man mentioned was Ma Junchi from the Branch Public Order Brigade. He temporarily gave Gu Changzheng the title of "Team Leader Gu."
When the young man heard this, how would he know how many team leaders there were in the Public Order Brigade! Looking at the ID the person just took out, he didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly said respectfully: "Oh, it's the same for Team Leader Gu and this leader to come. You two, please rest here first, I'll go call our Brother Qiang."
After letting the two into an office-like room inside the dance hall, the young man ordered people to serve tea and hurriedly went to call his boss.
After about five minutes, a loud male voice came from outside the door: "Oh! Two leaders, rare guests. Why didn't you say hello in advance when you came to guide the work? I could have prepared!"
Then, a wind with the smell of alcohol felt like it blew into the room, and a burly man wearing only a black shirt and a colorful belt around his waist walked in!
"You must be Chang Huaqiang!" Gu Changzheng looked at the man and said.
Chang Huaqiang saw the two and smiled: "Oh, two unfamiliar faces! Just transferred to the Public Order Brigade? I don't know what official business you two leaders have today..."
He said this with great art: I don't know you two, I know everyone in the Public Order Brigade. If you have official business, you have to take out the procedures. If it's private business, sorry, I won't expose you, that's giving you face!
How could Gu Changzheng not understand his subtext? He didn't intend to ask him as a member of the Public Order Brigade anyway.
He glanced at the young man standing at the door who called him over. Chang Huaqiang said: "Xiao Jiang, close the door and go out to get busy!"
The young man responded and went out, closing the door. Gu Changzheng took out his ID again and opened it: "Sorry, we are from the Jiangdong Branch Criminal Police Brigade. My surname is Gu, this is my ID, and this is my colleague, surnamed Hu!"
Chang Huaqiang's smiling face changed immediately! Criminal Police Team? He hadn't done anything that required the criminal police to show up, had he?
Gu Changzheng reached out and signaled him to sit down: "Boss Chang, don't be nervous. The reason we didn't reveal our identities in front of your employees is because of the needs of the case investigation. Please understand."
Chang Huaqiang had already sat down. After thinking that he hadn't committed any major crimes, he calmed down. He hurriedly said: "Understand, understand! Officer Gu, whatever you need to know, I will tell you everything!" After all, he was someone who had seen storms and waves. With one sentence from Gu Changzheng, he already understood that the other party must be handling a major case, and this case was likely related to the people entering and exiting his dance hall!
Gu Changzheng smiled, took a photo from his handbag, and placed it in front of Chang Huaqiang. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
