Chapter 75: Three Graves 38

"Let's go."
The speaker is Lin Chen.
Xing Cong even patted him on the shoulder, then saw the consultant and walked upstairs without looking back. It seemed that the reunion had already come to an end.
Xun Lian hurried to catch up, Lin Chen had already stepped onto the escalator.
"That is?"
"a friend."
Xing Conglian wanted to look back at the "friend" in Lin Chen's mouth, but Lin Chen held him in advance and said, "Don't look, ignore him."
"So, why is that friend interested in our case?" He asked tentatively, although Lin Chen's friends are probably not bad and bad, but they are not necessarily good people. At least Su Fengzi must not be too good. People.
"I don't know, but he wants to say that he will naturally catch up."
Lin Chen rarely turns his face like a book like he does now, so after finishing the shop, consultant Lin suddenly thought of something, so he decided to start getting angry.
Sure enough, when the escalator carried them to the second floor, Xun Cong used Yu Guang to glimpse that the friend in the smoke-gray suit had stood on the escalator and seemed to be going upstairs.
"What's wrong?" Xing Conglian smiled.
"We always thought that regardless of Wang Shishi, Xu Haozhen, even Jiang Liu and Jin Xiaoan, they met in school ..."
He wanted to ask Lin Chen how to suddenly turn his face, but the other side subtly used another answer to fool him, and then avoided his question.
He had to ask along the way: "Actually not?"
"Su Fengzi is right. To apply the model of abc, Wang Shishi has always retained Xu Haozhen's autographed book, stating that the mythical c is Xu Haozhen, so the person who cheated Wang Shishi into the organization cannot be Xu Haozhen ...
Xun Conglian roughly understood what the problem was.
Lin Chen continued: "This was previously misguided by Xu Hao. She said that she and Wang Shishi have both participated in the literature society, and Jiang Liu is a student union officer, so they all know each other ... we naturally think that they are indeed I met in school. But if this is a premeditated criminal organization, it would not be so hasty to select members, and ... "
"And it's just the words of ordinary classmates. One day, someone suddenly and mysteriously said to you," Classmates, do you know xx? "This seems to be selling Amway, but it also makes people doubt at the same time.
"Yes, you asked me before, how did they select the loyal victims, why no one has betrayed or reported them for so long. To do this, it is very careful when selecting its members. Are people of a certain type of personality. "
"But they can't do a personality test for everyone like you ..." Xing Conglian touched his chin, but thought of another possibility. "Isn't it always going to hack the mental files of all students like the dynasty?"
"Whether it is stealing information or screening by other methods, it is only the first step. This is not enough ... The best way is to first find the target group, trick them into the trap, and then choose those People who actively step into the trap. "Lin Chen walked faster and faster, bypassing the two rows of shops and going deeper into the store and the store." The initiative is very important. "
"Oh ... it's a process of mutual attraction." He followed Lin Chen and said, "In other words, somewhere in this university town, there are traps that a student will actively enter." ... like a bookstore? "
"Not a bookstore."
Lin Chen stopped abruptly, with a look of disappointment on his face after speculation.
Siyuan Inspirational Bookstore is located at No. 19, Area B, 3rd Floor, Phoenix Book City. Xing Conglian looked up and examined the destination of their trip.
Nearly 8.50, the bookstore shutter door was pulled down more than halfway, but the lights in the store were still on.
There are large and small unpacked parcels at the entrance of the store. Those are new books shipped from major publishers, and the situation in the bookstore is much worse than outside the store.
He pulled the shutter door up a bit, and bent over, almost not finding a place to stay.
Books on the ground are almost piled up to the ceiling, and there are colorful novels and magazines under the tables and tables. Inside the store, they are filled with teachings from "Three Years College Entrance Examination" to "Cambridge IELTS Exam". Supplementing the bookstore, Xun Conglian expressed deep concern over the possibility that they could find clues here.
It was about hearing someone enter the store, and the employee who stayed at the end to clean up the store came up from a pile of magazines and frowned, "It's closed, what to buy tomorrow."
He never hesitated to display the badge, and then said, "Some problems require your investigation."
"Why ... what's wrong?" The boy hurriedly stood up, carefully bypassed the books on the ground, and came to Xing Conglian.
"Are there records of the books in your store?"
"Some and some."
Xing Cong patted the guy's shoulder in succession and said, "Don't be nervous, help check the outbound records of a book ..." He said, and showed the book copyright information page sent by the dynasty to the guy in the bookstore. .
The young man nodded and hurried to the computer.
"Is Ye Wenzhong's" Discrete Mathematics "right ..." he said, knocking down the search entry, and soon, a line of outbound records appeared.
The delivery time is 17:44 pm on November 19, 2011.
Xun Lian's eyes fell on the final number of outbounds, and there was a momentary hesitation.
Quantity: 300.
"More than expected." Lin Chen's light voice sounded behind him.
"I'm here this year, I don't know about this!" The guy quickly cleared the relationship.
"Can you find the shipper?" Xun Conglian asked.
The guy shook his head: "No record."
"What about issuing tickets?"
After the punishment was completed, the guy looked up and said with a smirk: "Mr. Police Officer, unless we have a special request from our customer, retail sales are generally not issued ..."
"Call your boss." Xun Conglian said.
The guy hurriedly called the boss and passed the cell phone to Xing Conglian.
"Hello, to make a long story short, do you have any reflections on the batch of" Discrete Mathematics "released in November 2011?"
"Hey, Mr. Police Officer, you see me coming and going every day. You suddenly asked me about a batch of books that were released from the warehouse five years ago. I really can't remember."
"Even if you are a regional distributor, suddenly the volume of 300 copies should be uncommon, not to mention" Discrete Mathematics "and not" Three-year College Entrance Examination and Five-Year Simulation ", please recall it carefully."
"It's true that I was not in charge of this store before. Now my partner and their family have immigrated, and I took over ... and the book from five years ago, you have to check, I even have the store staff then. I can't inquire about you. "
"Send your former partner's phone number and contact information to this mobile phone." After finishing talking, Xun Conglian simply hung up the phone, then shook his head at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's attitude was even more relieved: "If he can leave such obvious clues, it would be strange."
"I bought 300 books five years ago. How long has this organization existed ..." Xing Lian had to start thinking about whether to tell the news to Captain Jiang, who was already extremely fragile recently.
"At most, it happened in the past five years, not too far away." Lin Chen said suddenly.
"You just said, what does it mean by not a bookstore?" Xing Lian switched the topic, and Lin Chen continued the conversation about the trap just now.
"He means that this place is too broken, it is difficult for people to have a first-time love or trust, after all, like to dislike, mainly to look at the face." The slightly lazy tone came from the shop entrance again, You never need to look back to know who the speaker is.
Only this time, Lin Chen didn't give any good looks to the person who intervened. He didn't even look back, and didn't even bother to talk to the other party.
"If I am behind the scenes, I will choose my goals. Of course, I will first use the most scientific method to screen those who are most likely to be controlled by me. These people are characterized by introversion, inferiority, and lack of friends. They have a strong yearning and longing for a better life. Generally speaking, all the MLM organizations are good, and brainwashing at a higher level. The essence also uses this longing and longing ... So if I want Attracting these people to hook, I will definitely set up a very beautiful place, it is beautiful and elegant, relaxing but not without the unattainable alienation ... it will not be too hidden or mysterious, it will be too skeptical , It is very likely to be in an ordinary street, unsuspecting. Members of the organization can easily seduce the victims, even those potential people will take the initiative to come ... "
"A shop," Xun Conglian said.
Lin Chen nodded: "This is just a hypothesis. If we are looking for a shop, it must first be in this university town. The audience it attracts is students, most of which are girls, and they are in the major categories of catering and entertainment. , Most likely a petty bourgeois drink shop or a women's clothing store and a bookstore ... "
Xun Lian signaled Lin Chen to suspend, and then called the dynasty's phone.
"Hi Mr. Xing, I will be happy to help you."
Xing Conglian handed the phone to Lin Chen.
"Dynasty, can you search the registration records of all shops in Yongchuan University Town, I need to find a store in Yongchuan University Town."
"Want to enter the backstage of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?
"Come on, my sword is hungry!"
"This store does not have a specific name and address, so it will be relatively difficult to retrieve. First, it may be a beverage store, a clothing store, or a bookstore. For a beverage store, all milk tea shops and large coffee chains on the street are excluded. About 50-150 square meters ... Clothing stores are more difficult. First exclude all clothing and brand clothing in the mall, exclude male clothing stores, the store area is within 20 to 80 square meters ... and the approximate area of ​​a bookstore is the same as that of a clothing store ... "
"There must be no such bookstore in Phoenix Book City ..." said the writer leaning at the door and smiling.
Lin Chen glanced at the door and said to the dynasty: "Exclude all bookstores in Phoenix Book City ... tell me how many similar stores there are."
"12 drink stores, 3 book stores, clothing stores ..." The dynasty paused, and said with some embarrassment: "92 ..."
"The book purchase time was in November 2011. If someone planned this thing early, then the store opened ..."
"The opening time and book purchase time will not be too far apart."
Xun Lian suddenly approached the microphone and said to the dynasty, "The shop opened between June 2011 and June 2012, and has not been registered for business suspension."
"Fuck, boss, you didn't say it earlier!" The dynasty talked to him, obviously not as obedient and obedient as talking to Lin Chen. Xun Conglian listened to the teenager and complained, "there are three beverage stores in total, there are no such bookstores. There are 27 clothing stores. "After the dynasty said, suddenly as if discovering a new continent, he cried in surprise:" Boss, do you know that the first floor of the Phoenix Book City is the largest underground pedestrian street in the whole Yongchuan University ... The 2 drink shops and 20 clothing shops on the list are at your feet. It is said that the closing time is 10pm. Would you like to try your luck? "
"I remember that Lao Jiang's men stared at Cheng Weiwei for a few months and asked him to check the records. If Cheng Weiwei has been to these stores, first check if she has been to the underground pedestrian street of Phoenix Book City. Then send me the address." Xing After talking from the company, hang up.
"It's nine o'clock," Lin Chen said.
"Five minutes left." Xing Lianlian looked at Lin Chen and said.
Lin Chen nodded, and said to him, "Wait here for three minutes, and see you at the escalator after three minutes."
Xun Lian was too late to say good. Lin Chen had taken the first step out of the bookstore. He looked aggressively and coldly at the writer at the door, then turned a corner, looking for a quiet place.
Xun Lian couldn't help laughing.
—
Lin Chen stood at the back staircase of the book city, turned around, grabbed the person's collar behind him, and pushed the person directly to the wall.
"What the are you doing here!"
"I want to come back."
Su Fengzi still had a Yingying smile in her eyes, and Lin Chen was even more angry: "To be honest, Fengzi, why did you come!"
"I said to help you solve the case, don't you believe it?"
"Do not believe."
"Criminal investigation, what good materials, isn't it funny that the handsome criminal policeman is a cool psychologist?"
"roll."
"Well ... so angry, let me guess ... you are angry, you suddenly realized that I was interested in this case early in the morning." Su Fengzi was very light and gentle when she spoke, like freshly baked bread. Soft, "Of course you are not angry that I suddenly appeared to find Fu Hao instead of you. You are thinking that I may have grasped the key evidence of this case earlier, so it will appear in Phoenix Book City. You are angry because I didn't tell you early what I knew, right? "
"Speak well." Lin Chen pursed her lips coldly.
"Hey ..." Su Fengzi reached out his hand, and gently opened his fingers one by one, and then said, "I can only answer. The reason why I will come back and pay attention to this case is because of some very personal reasons. I The reason for knowing this is because this is all the clues you found, and I will appear in Phoenix Book City today. This is really a signing event. You have to believe in fate. After all, I am really a writer. "
Su Fengzi said to him, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile in his eyes.
Seeing him laugh like this, Lin Chen stepped back, and suddenly had a bad hunch. He turned and left, only to hear Su Fengzi say behind him.
"But I didn't expect it. I rarely came back, but it was so sad to see you empathize."
Su Fengzi's voice was melancholy, just like the kind of opera actor crying and complaining on the stage.
Lin Chen only felt creepy.
At that moment, he seemed to be suddenly illuminated by a beam of light in the dark. The sudden strong light made him just want to find a place to hide himself. He didn't even have time to explore this inexplicable shyness, only I think hiding is the top priority.
Trying to control his emotions, he turned back and said to Su Fengzi, "Is this the time to talk about this?"
It seemed as if he would stop at a certain point. Su Fengzi straightened his shirt and said with a smile, "Yes, I was wrong. Can I go now?"
Out of the corner, Lin Chen saw the Captain of the Interpol leaning on the handrail waiting.
Seeing them coming out, Xun Conglian just swept Su Fengzi from beginning to end, put down his cell phone, and said, "Lao Jiang confirmed, Cheng Weiwei went to the pedestrian street below us."
When he had finished speaking, he went downstairs without a word of unnecessary words.
In fact, Lin Chen is not very familiar with the underground pedestrian street below the Phoenix Book City.
After all, when he was in college, the pedestrian street was still under construction, and all similar places in the university town were prepared for girls. Boys probably rarely walked from end to end except for shopping with their girlfriends.
When Chen really went underground, Lin Chen knew that this place was more exaggerated than he thought.
The dazzling lights, the various shops that can't be seen at a glance, the underground air pressure is very low, and the air is abnormally turbid.
Although it was evening, there were still two or two students walking and stepping on the bright tempered glass floor. Lin Chen moment thought he had walked into a two-dimensional space.
"It's really a place of unique taste." Su Fengzi said at the end.
Lin Chen didn't mean to say one more sentence to him at that moment, and at this moment, Xunlian even spoke.
"I contacted the administrator here just now and we went directly to the property office."
Xun Lian showed a good sense of direction in the underground. He walked through a pile of colorful paving and took them directly to the property office.
It was almost nine-thirty in the evening, and there was only one employee on duty in the property office.
The man seemed to have foreseen the arrival of Xun Conglian in advance, and quickly got up, saying, "Is the Captain of the Penalty, our manager arranged for me to receive you."
"Exhausted, I now need a floor plan of the pedestrian street below."
"The drawings are hanging on the wall!" The employee pointed to the wall and said.
The sentence turned from side to side, giving way.
Lin Chen followed the floor plan, glanced at the general layout, and wanted to find a marker pen. At this moment, Xun Conglian took an oil-based pen from the pen holder and handed it over.
Lin Chen nodded, said sorry to the staff, and then marked the locations of all the stores on the drawings one by one according to the information from the dynasty.
There were many black spots on the paper instantly, Lin Chen looked at the marked shops and began to think.
If there really is such a store, then it cannot be in an eye-catching position first, it cannot be in a prime location, and it will be relatively hidden.
He quickly crossed out all the popular shops at the entrance.
The shops on the main line are also impossible, because he came over from the main line, where it was too noisy and not comfortable.
He thought of it this way, and cut out four shops on both sides of the main line.
As a result, the remaining shops became ten.
Lin Chen gave way to the location in front of the map and said to the only property employee in the office: "Thank you for looking at these stores. Which one is fresher and more refined. Its decoration may not be luxurious, but it is very chic. Although there are not many customers , But it has been open for several years, and sometimes you even wonder what the store is making money on and why is it still closed ... "
Lin Chen said this, even he felt that such inexplicable speculation was a bit crazy. All the reasoning is based on a possibility assumption. Only Xinglian Xun will not be able to determine whether such a store really exists. When he was there, he quickly helped him find it.
"If you say so, this d15 store seems to be very similar to you. I remember the name is French, it's a coffee bar, it sells books, it's quite quiet ..."
Just as the dawn appeared on the horizon, Lin Chen heard the words and let go of his pen, but as soon as he stepped on his leg, he suddenly stopped.
"You said ... before?"
"Yeah, a few days ago, when the door was opened, the store clerk suddenly ran to say that the store was stolen. We had to adjust the video. We used to see that I had nothing in the store and the thief emptied the store directly. It's almost gone, there's nothing in the store. "
"Have you called the police?" Xun Conglian asked.
"Of course it is reported!"
"So, what about surveillance?"
"It's weird. After the waitress and the boss watched the video, the whole video in area d was dropped."
"What does it mean?"
"It's gone when it's dropped. I don't know if it's a problem or someone deleted it by mistake. It's gone anyway ..."
