    Chapter 75 Three Tombs 38 Bookstore

    "Let's go."

    The person who spoke was Lin Chen.

    Xing Conglian was patted on the shoulder by him, and then saw that the consultant walked upstairs without turning his head, as if the reunion had reached the point.

    Xing Cong quickly chased after him, and Lin Chen was already on the escalator.

    "That is?"

    "a friend."

    Xing Conglian wanted to look back at the "friend" that Lin Chen called, but Lin Chen grabbed him in advance and said, "Don't look, ignore him."

    "So, that friend, why are you interested in our case?" He asked tentatively. Although Lin Chen's friend is probably not a vicious bad person, he is not necessarily a good person. At least Su Fengzi, it must not be too good. people.

    "I don't know, but he wants to say it, and naturally he will catch up."

    Lin Chen rarely turns his face like he does now, so, probably after talking about Photoshop, consultant Lin suddenly thought of something, so he decided to start getting angry.

    Sure enough, when the escalator took them to the second floor, Xing Conglian glimpsed out of the corner of his eye that the friend in the smoky gray suit was already standing on the escalator, as if preparing to go upstairs.

    "What's wrong?" Xing Conglian asked with a smile.

    "We always thought that no matter Wang Shishi or Xu Haozhen, even Jiang Liu and Jin Xiaoan, they all met in school..."

    He thought he wanted to ask Lin Chen why he suddenly started turning his face, but the other party cleverly used another answer to prevaricate, and then avoided his question.

    He had no choice but to follow along and ask: "Not actually?"

    "Su Fengzi is right. To use the ABC model, Wang Shishi has always kept Xu Haozhen's signature book, indicating that the person who was deceived by the myth is Xu Haozhen, so the person who deceived Wang Shishi into the organization cannot be Xu Haozhen..."

    Xing Conglian roughly understood where the problem was.

    Lin Chen continued: "This is what Xu Hao misled me before, she said that she and Wang Shishi have both participated in the literature club, and Jiang Liu is the student council officer, so they both know each other... We naturally think that they are indeed both Met at school. But if this was a premeditated criminal organization, it couldn't have picked members so hastily, and..."

    "And it's just the words of ordinary classmates. Suddenly one day someone mysteriously said to you, 'Do you know xx, classmate?' This seems to be selling Amway, and it also makes people suspicious." Xing Conglian said.

    "Yes, you asked me before, how did they choose the loyal victims, why for so long, no one has defected or reported them, to do this, the first choice is to be very careful when choosing members, it chooses They're all people with a certain type of personality trait."

    "But they can't give everyone a personality test like you..." Xing Conglian touched his chin, but thought of another possibility, "Won't they hack all the students' psychological files like Dynasty?"

    "Whether it's stealing information or filtering through other methods, it's just the first step, it's far from enough... The best way is to first identify the target group, lure them into the trap, and then select those Those who take the initiative to step into the trap." Lin Chen walked faster and faster, bypassing the two rows of shops, and walking towards the depths of the shops and shops, "Initiative is very important,"

    "Oh... it's just waiting for the rabbit, it's a process of mutual attraction." He followed behind Lin Chen and said, "That is to say, somewhere in this university town, there is a trap that a certain student will take the initiative to step into. ...like a bookstore?"

    "Not a bookstore."

    Lin Chen stopped abruptly, with a look of disappointment on his face after the speculation failed.

    Siyuan Inspirational Bookstore is located at No. 19, Area B, 3rd Floor, Phoenix Book City. Xing Conglian raised his eyes to examine the destination of their trip.

    At nearly 8:50, the shutters of the bookstore were mostly closed, but the lights in the store were still on.

    There are large and small unopened parcels piled in front of the store. Those are all new books shipped from major publishing houses. The situation inside the bookstore is even worse than outside the store.

    He pulled the roller shutter up a bit, bent over and went in, almost not finding a place to stay.

    Almost all the books on the ground are piled up to the height of the ceiling. Under the table, there are colorful novels and magazines. Where the shops are inside, it is full of teaching from "Three -Year College Entrance Examination" to "Cambridge IELTS True Questions". For the auxiliary book, the prisoner was deeply concerned about the possibility of finding clues here.

    About he heard someone entered the store, and the employees who stayed at the end of the shop appeared from a bunch of magazines, frowned: "Close the door, what to buy tomorrow."

    Sentences showed the police badge without hesitation, and then said, "Some problems need to help you help the investigation."

    "What's ... what's wrong?" The guy hurriedly stood up, carefully bypassing the book, and came to the sentence from the challenge.

    "Is there a record of the book out of your store?"

    "Some."

    Xing Conglian patted the hands of the guy's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, help check the book of a book out of the book ..." He said, showing the book copyright information page sent by the dynasty to the guy of the bookstore. Essence

    The young man nodded and hurried to the computer.

    "" Discrete Mathematics "written by Ye Wenzhong ..." He said, knocking down the search, soon, a recording of the warehouse appeared.

    The outbound time is 17:44 pm on November 19, 2011.

    Sentences' eyes fell on the last number of outlets, and there was a moment of stun.

    Quantity: 300.

    "More than expected." Lin Chen's light voice sounded behind him.

    "I have been this year, I don't know about this!" The guy quickly clarified the relationship.

    "Can you find the consignee?" Xing Conglian asked.

    The guy shook his head: "No record."

    "What about the invoice?"

    After asking Conglian, I saw the guy raised his head and said with a sneer: "Mr. Police Officer, unless we have special requirements for customers, general retail will not invoiced ..."

    "Call your boss." Xing Conglian said.

    The guy hurriedly hung up a phone to the boss. After briefly explaining the situation, he handed his mobile phone to Xinglian.

    "Hello, I said a long time, do you still have an image on a batch of" Discrete Mathematics "that was out of the warehouse in November 2011?"

    "Hey, Mr. Police Officer, you see that every day I come and go, you suddenly ask me a batch of books that go out of the warehouse five years ago, I really can't remember it."

    "Even if you are a regional dealer, the number of outlets in 300 books should not be common, not to mention" Discrete Mathematics "and not the" Three Years of College Entrance Examination and Five Years ". Please recall it carefully."

    "Don't conceal you, this shop was not in charge before. Now my partners have immigrated to the whole family, and I took over ... And the book five years ago, you have to check it. Can't inquire for you. "

    "Send your previous partner's phone and contact information to this phone." After finishing the Conglian, he hung up the phone neatly, and then shook Lin Chen.

    Lin Chen's attitude was even more relieved: "If he can leave such obvious clues, it will be strange."

    "I bought 300 copies five years ago. How long did this organization exist ..." Crimine Conglian had to consider, did you want to tell the news that the news was already so fragile to the leader of the river.

    "At most and what happened in the past five years, it is not too far." Lin Chen suddenly said.

    "You just said, what does not mean by a bookstore?" Crimine from continuing the topic and continued to talk about the trap just now.

    "His meaning is that this place is too broken, it is difficult to make people feel like or trust at the first glance. After all, I like it or not, mainly looking at the face." The slightly lazy tone came from the door of the store again, Criminal Cong didn't even need to look back, he knew who was talking.

    But this time, Lin Chen did not give any good face to the person who interjected, and he didn't even return his head, and he was too lazy to tell the other person.

    "If I am behind the scenes, I want to choose my goal. Of course, I will first use the most scientific methods to screen the people who are the most easily controlled by me. This kind of person is characterized by introverted, inferiority, and lack of friends, but they are at the same time. They have a strong longing and longing for a better life in their hearts. Generally speaking, all MLM organizations, higher brainwashing, essentially use this yearning and longing ... So, if I want I want Attracting these people to hook, I will definitely arrange a very beautiful place. It is very beautiful and elegant, relaxed but not unable to alienate ... It will not be too hidden and mysterious, it is too doubtful that it is too doubtful It is likely to be in ordinary streets and lanes. It is unknown. The members of the organization can easily seduce the victims, and even those potential people will take the initiative to come to the door ... "

    "A shop." Xing 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. It attracts the audience. , The most likely is a petty -funded beverage shop or a woman to a clothing store and a bookstore ... "

    Xing Conglian signaled Lin Chen's suspension, and then called the dynasty's phone.

    "Hello Mr. Xing, serve you wholeheartedly."

    Criminal Conglian handed the phone to Lin Chen.

    "Dynasties, can you find the registration records of all shops within the scope of Yongchuan University Town? I need to find a shop within the scope of Yongchuan University Town."

    "I want to enter the backstage of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, let's think about it ..."

    "Come on, my big knife is already hungry!"

    "This shop does not have specific names and addresses, so it will be relatively difficult to retrieve. First of all, it may be a drink shop, clothing shop or bookstore, beverage shop, exclude all street milk tea shops and large coffee chain stores, shop area, store area About 50-150 square meters ... The clothing store is more difficult. First, the clothing and brand clothing in all shopping malls are excluded, and the male clothing stores are excluded. "

    "There is definitely no such bookstore in Phoenix Book City ..." The writer who leaned at the door said.

    Lin Chen glanced at the door, and then said to the dynasty: "Eliminate all the bookstores in the Phoenix Book City ... tell me how many stores are there."

    "There are 12 beverage stores, 3 bookstores, clothing stores ..." The dynasty paused, and he said embarrassedly: "92 ..."

    "The time to buy the book was in November 2011. If someone planned this early in the morning, the store opening time ..."

    "The opening time and the time to buy the book will not be too far away."

    Suddenly closer the microphone from the prison, and said to the dynasty, "The opening time of the store is between June 2011 and June 2012, and it has not been registered to be suspended so far."

    "Damn, boss, you don't say earlier!" The Dynasty spoke to him, obviously not as good and obedient to talk to Lin Chen. The clothing store is 27. "After finishing the dynasty, suddenly seemed to find any new continent, and said in surprise:" Boss, do you know, the first floor of your Phoenix Book City is the largest underground pedestrian street in Yongchuan University ... The 2 drink shops and 20 clothing stores on the list are at your feet. It is said that the closing time is 10 pm. Would you like to touch your luck? "

    "I remember that Lao Jiang's men stared at Cheng Weiwei for a few months and asked him to check the records. Have you ever been to these stores? First check whether she has been to the underground pedestrian street of Phoenix Book City. Then send me the site." After finishing the prison, hang up the phone.

    "It's nine o'clock," Lin Chen said.

    "There are still fifty minutes." Said Lin Chen, who was lingering, said that.

    Lin Chen nodded, and then said to him, "You wait for me here for three minutes, and see the escalator in three minutes after three minutes."

    Criminal Conglian was too late to say well. Lin Chen had taken the lead in walking out of the bookstore. He was aggressive, looked at the writer at the door coldly, and then turned to a bend, as if looking for a secluded place.

    Cong Cong couldn't help laughing.

    ————————————————————————

    Lin Chen stood at the entrance of the back staircase of the book city, turned around, grabbed the collar of the person behind him, and pushed people directly to the wall.

    "What are you doing here!"

    "If you want to come back, come back."

    Su Fengzi's eyes still smiled with Yingying, Lin Chen even more angry: "To be honest, why did you come!"

    "I said to help you solve the case, do you don't believe it?"

    "Do not believe."

    "Criminal investigation, what good material, handsome criminal police cool psychologist, isn't it interesting?"

    "roll."

    "Well ... so angry, let me guess ... You're angry, suddenly realized that I was interested in this case early in the morning." Su Fengzi was very gentle and gentle when he spoke, as if the bread that had just been released was released. Soft, "Of course, you are not angry, I suddenly look for Fu Hao without looking for you. You think that I am likely to have the key evidence of the case earlier, so I will appear in Phoenix Book City. I didn't tell you the clues I knew early, right? "

    "Talk well." Lin Chen pursed his lips and said coldly.

    "Hey ..." Su Fengzi stretched out his hand and gently opened his fingers, 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. The reason why this is because this is the clue you found, and I will appear in Phoenix Book City today. This is really a signing meeting. You have to believe in fate. After all, I am really a writer. "

    Su Fengzi said to him, and then gently picked his mouth, and his cunning smile revealed in his eyes.

    Seeing that he laughed so much, Lin Chen took a step back, and suddenly he had a bad premonition. He turned to leave, only to listen to Su Fengzi behind him.

    "But I didn't expect it, I rarely came back, but I saw your empathy and not love. It's too sad."

    Su Fengzi's voice was melancholy, as emotional as the opera actor who was crying on the stage.

    Lin Chen only felt creepy.

    At that moment, he seemed to be brightened by a beam of light in the night. The sudden strong light made him just want to find a place to hide himself. I feel that hiding is the first priority.

    He tried his best to control his emotions. He turned his head and said to Su Fengzi, "Is this time talking about this now?"

    It seemed that it was a certain point to stop. Su Fengzi made his whole shirt and said with a smile, "Yes, I am wrong, can I leave now?"

    When he walked out of the corner, Lin Chen saw the Captain Captain who leaned against the armrest at a glance.

    Seeing them came out, Xinglian just swept Su Fengzi from beginning to end, put down the mobile phone in his ear, and said, "Lao Jiang confirmed that Cheng Weiwei went to the pedestrian street under us."

    After he finished speaking, he went downstairs, and there was no extra word.

    In fact, Lin Chen is really not very familiar with the underground pedestrian street downstairs in Phoenix Book City.

    After all, when he was in college, the pedestrian street was still built, and there were similar places in all university cities for girls. Boys probably rarely strolled from beginning to end except for their girlfriends.

    When it really came to the ground, Lin Chen knew that this place was more exaggerated than he thought.

    The dazzling lights, at a glance at all kinds of shops, the underground air pressure is very low, and the air is extremely turbid.

    Although it was at night, there were still three or two students walking on a walk and stepping on the bright tempered glass floor. Lin Chen instantly thought he had entered what two -dimensional space he had entered.

    "It's really a unique taste." Su Fengzi walked at the end and said lightly.

    Lin Chen didn't mean to say a word to him at all. At this moment, the sentence was open.

    "I have contacted the administrator here just now, let's go directly to the property office."

    Sentences showed a good sense of direction in the ground. He walked through a bunch of flower -green pavement and brought them directly to the property office.

    It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, and only one employee in the property office is on duty.

    The man portrait had already predicted the arrival of the prison in advance and quickly got up. He said: "Is the criminal captain, our manager arranged me to receive you."

    "I am annoying, I need the plan of the walking street now."

    "The drawings are hanging on the wall!" The employee pointed at the wall and said.

    Xing Conglian turned sideways and made way.

    Lin Chen followed and walked to the floor plan, looked at the general layout, and wanted to find a marker. At this moment, Xing Conglian took an oil-based pen from the pen holder and handed it over.

    Lin Chen nodded, apologized to the staff, and then marked the locations of all the stores on the drawings according to the information from Dynasty.

    There were many black spots on the paper in an instant. Lin Chen looked at the marked shops and began to think.

    If such a store really exists, it cannot be in a conspicuous position first, it cannot be in a prime location, it will be relatively hidden.

    He quickly wiped out all the popular shops at the entrance.

    The shops on the main line are also impossible, because he came from the main line, which is too noisy and not comfortable enough.

    Thinking like this, he crossed out the four shops on both sides of the main line.

    As a result, the remaining stores became 10.

    Lin Chen gave way to the location in front of the map and said to the only property employee in the office: "Please take a look at these stores, which one is more fresh and refined, its decoration is not necessarily luxurious, but it is very unique, although there are not many customers , but it has been open for several years, and sometimes you even wonder, what the hell does this store rely on to make money, why is it not closed..."

    Lin Chen said this, even he himself felt that such an inexplicable speculation was a bit crazy. All these reasonings were based on a possibility assumption, and only Xing Conglian would be able to make such a store when he could not even be sure whether it really existed. When the time came, he quickly helped him start looking for it.

    "When you say this, D15 seems to be very similar to what you said before. I remember the name is French, it's a coffee bar, and it also sells books. It's quite quiet..."

    As if the dawn appeared in the sky, Lin Chen heard the words, put down the pen and left, but just as he stepped on his legs, he suddenly stopped.

    "You said...before?"

    "Yes, a few days ago, when the store opened, the clerk of the store suddenly ran over and said that the store was stolen and wanted to adjust the video. We went over to see that I didn't have anything in the store, and the thief emptied the store directly. , It's almost, there's nothing in the store."

    "Have you called the police?" Xing Conglian asked.

    "Of course I did!"

    "So, what about monitoring?"

    "It's just weird. After the waitress and the boss watched the video, the entire video in Zone D was dropped."

    "What does it mean to fall?"

    "If it's gone, it's gone. I don't know if there was a problem or it was deleted by mistake. Anyway, it's gone..."
