Chapter 7 Section VII

The next day, Manager Sun was quite satisfied with Guo Xiaofeng who arrived on time as agreed, and sat down after the routine reception procedures. "Drink tea, or yesterday's Maixiang black tea." He enthusiastically pushed the teacup in front of Guo Xiaofeng, looked at his watch and said, "Really punctual, I like dealing with punctual people, and there is no traffic jam?" "It's okay," Guo Xiaofeng replied politely, then raised the paper cup, lowered his head and smelled the rich aroma of the tea, and smiled, "It's really fragrant, surpassing the usual aroma of tea."

"Heh! It's not fragrant now, it's really fragrant at the moment after the tea leaves are poured out." "That must have added something else, the tea is not this kind of fragrance." "Of course, barley is added!" Manager Sun said, taking a sip in satisfaction, "It's obvious." Guo Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "It's really obvious, so things that are too much are discovered faster." Of course, Manager Sun's mind has always been sharp, so he can immediately realize what he needs to know. "What did you find?" He put down his teacup and asked eagerly, "Is there something in your words, you just came here."

"But it's a coincidence," Guo Xiaofeng replied with a smile, "Last night - at the 'Rose Restaurant', I saw an important scene, which confirmed some of my thoughts." "Did you find the thief? So quickly?" Manager Sun said pleasantly, looking at the cautious Guo Xiaofeng, he quickly added, "Or you can guess who the thief is." "Can't say that yet, but—" "what?" "I speculate that your initial guess may be correct." "Oh? It's Miss Tang, right?" Manager Sun slapped his thigh and asked cheerfully.There was an expression of 'I've said it already' on his face, and then there was a feeling that his foresight was not recognized, but then his attention to the overall situation made him stand up in panic:

"Oops, I asked her to come back last night as you said, and she came to work early this morning." "That's not what I'm talking about." Guo Xiaofeng quickly waved his hand, motioning for Manager Sun to sit down, "I mean that this 'strange theft' you speculated may have a terrible beginning, as the saying goes." Mice pull the shovel—the big head is behind' worry, and perhaps quite right." "Oh——" the other party responded, and it didn't take a lot of intelligence to tell that Manager Sun was not very happy to understand this, and he sat down a little bored.

Guo Xiaofeng glanced at him, then clicked his lips solemnly: "Tsk, I really admire you. You have such a keen sense of smell. When we were discussing last night, I was actually not sure about this in my heart, and I am still a criminal policeman!" Manager Sun's clever eyes lit up again, and he grinned happily: "Don't say that, don't say that, but I was a soldier, and I'm still a scout!" "It's really different." "No, no!" Manager Sun waved his hand modestly, suppressed his smile (it seemed to take some effort), and looked serious, "By the way, are you sure my guess is true?"

"Really!" Guo Xiaofeng also became serious, "I'm worried that—oh—X, the person who made the mysterious big footprints—may be a murderous criminal. If we don't find out, there may be very dire consequences .” "Then what should we do now?" Manager Sun stood up unknowingly, "How do you plan to solve it?" "Now let's find out the security guard who was on duty the night before yesterday." Guo Xiaofeng calmly ordered, "I need to verify some small things." Security guard Xiao Huang is a young man in his twenties. Cutting a banana, the hooked head is still a little crooked.He has a slight stutter, and in order to avoid his shortcomings being too obvious, he speaks in a very cadenced manner.

Although he didn't understand why Guo Xiaofeng asked him to inquire about these matters, Manager Sun still complied, and after cleverly rambling a few words, he got to the point. "Indeed - yes - the day before yesterday - this morning - came back from a business trip, and I still said - hello -." Xiao Huang replied. "How do you know he came back from a business trip?" Guo Xiaofeng interrupted and asked. "I asked him, and he said—yes. Besides, I—haven't seen him in and out for a long time. He must be on a business trip." "Oh, does he travel a lot?"

"Should - yes, I - always see him - go out alone, and then - after a while - come back, Miss Zhou - often - go in and out alone." Xiao Huang replied , and I couldn't restrain my curiosity, and asked, "Do they--have any--problems--?" "No." Guo Xiaofeng said quickly, "Are you familiar with them?" "Not--not familiar, they--very-not-love to talk." Xiao Huang replied with a buzzing nose, "but-they-people are very nice. They speak very-politely, every time they send a letter, Zhou Miss, it’s—that woman, always—thank you, thank you, never leave your mouth.”

"Then, what about that man?" "He," Xiao Huang thought for a while, "he--looks good, and he can eat--bitter, he seems to be on a business trip all the time, and I often see--he comes back from a business trip in the middle of the night, full of dust, no wonder--he-- ——can—rent a house here, can—endure hardships, and can—make money.” Guo Xiaofeng nodded, then retracted his subconsciously stretched neck, and asked: "Is there a record of the guests coming and going during the day?" "Yes—yes, but—there are—a hundred or so households here, and many—are—small companies with people coming and going. They must—remember—remember—not all of them." Xiao Huang Stealing a glance at Manager Sun, he explained with great effort, "If you—examined hard enough—they—would be annoyed. In the end, the tenants wouldn't want to, after all—they all open the door— Those who do - business, can't - compare with - government agencies, right - right?"

"Yes!" Manager Sun affirmed him loudly. "Those couple seem to be very quiet people on the surface." As soon as Xiao Huang left, Manager Sun added thoughtfully, "However, when I think about it carefully, I feel suspicious. They have lived here for two years, but I don't know What are they doing! It seems too mysterious." "Are you familiar with the other tenants here? Do you know what they do?" Manager Sun was a little embarrassed: "That's not true. Maybe you don't know, most of the tenants here are ordinary businessmen, not guys who always want to show up. They can't live without making some news for a day. On the contrary, they hate being paid attention for no reason. .”

"This is the first time I've heard of it." Guo Xiaofeng stroked his chin and smiled softly, "But I dare say their thinking is quite reasonable. At present, people who get attention for no reason, except for celebrities and people who are unlucky, are mostly— — the beginning of bad luck." "So," Manager Sun shrugged his shoulders, "Customers are my jobs, and I must do my best to satisfy their wishes." "I will also try my best not to affect the happiness of your 'jobs'." Guo Xiaofeng said, with a smile on his face, showing a serious look, "Try to get everything done as quietly as possible, of course, you can only try your best." Manager Sun suddenly smiled: "That's great, I know you are a good policeman who is considerate of public opinion, what do you want me to do for you now? Do you need to inquire about other situations of 302? I have been a soldier, and I am still a scout!" Guo Xiaofeng thought for a while. "If it's convenient for you, help me observe whether the Miss Zhou in 302 is in contact with a man—not her husband, but a man whose feet are about 43 or 44 in size these two days. It may not be the kind of chat we are used to. The connection of eating may be just that he followed Miss Zhou or simply communicated, or—" "Give me a look or something, anyway, it's very mysterious, it's not the way we ordinary people get along with friends, right?" Seeing Guo Xiaofeng's laborious wording, Manager Sun answered the words comprehendingly, and at the same time passed A knowing look in the past. "Almost, but remember, if you see such a person, don't—" "To startle the snake," Manager Sun said first, "and tell you as soon as possible, right?" "That's right! It seems that working with you must be easier than working with my current partner." "That is, I almost became a policeman. I used to be a soldier. When I changed jobs, I was asked to choose a unit. The situation at that time was like this..." Guo Xiaofeng had to listen patiently to Manager Sun's long story about how he didn't become a policeman by accident. Finally, he found a thread, and he quickly inserted it. "I think your current job is better, and I would rather change it with you. Come, have a sip of tea, your tea is really good, you can't be so leisurely as a policeman, especially us criminal police." Sure enough, the clever Manager Sun didn't get intoxicated by the man in front of him, but rather understood: "Stop chatting, wasting time, let's have a good chat after finishing the work, now let's do it, I'll go to the yard for a walk." "Great, but before you go, show me a copy of Miss Tang's ID card. I know you will definitely ask for it. Also, where is she now? I don't want you to introduce her, just look at her. " Manager Sun was a little confused this time, but he kept a smart expression and followed suit one by one.In the following time, Manager Sun strolled between Block C and Block D for a while, and ran to Block F (where Sister Tang was cleaning) to take a peek. He wanted to figure out what the policeman's intentions were. Guo Xiaofeng, who walked slowly to Block F while making a phone call, seemed to stop naturally, and then, holding up his mobile phone, he looked around, looking lost (really good at pretending, Manager Sun thought).Then, Guo Xiaofeng graciously walked up to Sister Tang—— What does he want to do?Manager Sun was a little strange, suddenly, his heart trembled, God!That policeman was taking pictures of Sister Tang with his mobile phone!And after shooting several angles in a row, it seems that the police still think this is not enough, so they simply walked over and said something to Sister Tang who was working with her head bowed (at this moment, Manager Sun hopes to have a pair of clairvoyant ears), and then, Manager Sun saw that he was at a loss. Sister Tang, who raised her head, reached out and pointed to the depths of the yard after listening to it—— This time, the clever manager Sun guessed it. The policeman was obviously pretending to inquire about a certain tenant just now. Of course, he knew better that this was just a cover, because he clearly saw that Guo Xiaofeng's head followed Sister Tang's hand, and at the same time, a finger holding the mobile phone towards Sister Tang's face seemed to move. It can be asserted that - still taking pictures! Manager Sun no longer had the heart to observe 302, Block C. He anxiously walked to the door of the apartment and waited for Guo Xiaofeng to come out, but he looked inside and was surprised to see that Guo Xiaofeng actually walked around the back of the yard again in order to make the scene more realistic. , just walked out unsteadily, as if he had really found someone! As soon as he reached the gate, Manager Sun couldn't wait to pull Guo Xiaofeng who was obviously about to go out.But he maintained his usual smartness and caution. He didn't wait to ask in a low voice until he entered the office and looked around for no one. "What the hell are you trying to do?" "I'm going to check something." "Is it Miss Tang's?" "right." "Then you want me to observe Miss Zhou 302, is it true?" "Of course it is true. This matter is very important. You must pay attention to it." Manager Sun didn't speak immediately this time, but frowned, as if he was going through a fierce struggle in his heart. "Is there any problem?" Guo Xiaofeng asked proactively. A certain idea obviously gained the upper hand in the end, and Manager Sun finally dropped his clever expression of understanding and asked curiously: "Who are you suspecting?"
