7pm, Lotus Overpass.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang gathered together again and found no trace of Hu Mengyao.
The clues provided by the masses were that they had seen a girl similar to Hu Mengyao on the Lotus Overpass.
Phrases such as “similar, probably, similar” are actually the last thing the police want to hear.
Because Chinese characters are broad and profound, the scope of such adjectives can be large or small, and the three of them just came to find people with the mentality of trying their luck.
It is reasonable to not find it, and there will be no psychological burden.
“No, I haven’t found anyone. Lao Wang has to buy me a KFC burger to calm my nerves. I’m too tired.” Lu Weiwei began to complain.
Officer Wang frowned: “The most I can do is treat you to some steamed buns.”
“Deal.” Lu Weiwei agreed readily.
While bargaining with Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei had actually mastered a set of tricks, just like doing business.
First ask for a high price, and then wait for the other party to lower the price to your ideal price before decisively closing the deal.
If Lu Weiwei’s goal is burgers, then her asking price must be a family bucket set meal.
“Gu Chen, are you not full for dinner? Come on, I’ll take you to eat Goubuli steamed buns. I’ll treat you, and Lao Wang will pay.”
“Thank you, Senior Sister Lu.” Gu Chen felt hungry and felt hungry. A few pieces of bread could not sustain a dinner.
Officer Wang:? ? ?
The three of them walked along the overpass, preparing to go to a nearby shop that specializes in Goubuli steamed buns.
This shop is considered an authentic Goubuli. It has three branches in Jiangnan City. It is different from the ordinary ones selling dog meat with sheep’s heads. The shop owner is a master chef from Jincheng.
His Goubuli steamed buns have extremely fine selection of noodles and fillings, strict production techniques, and beautiful appearance, especially the steamed buns with well-proportioned pleats. Each bun has no less than 15 pleats, and every bite is full of oil. .
Lu Weiwei ordered parsley buns, Gu Chen ordered golden needle buns, and Officer Wang ordered prawn and chive buns.
When it comes to eating, Lu Weiwei no longer needs to pretend to be polite in front of Gu Chen. Anyway, she eats like crazy and doesn’t gain weight, so she doesn’t need to be so reserved.
In terms of weight, Lu Weiwei also maintains very good weight, with a monthly weight error of no more than one kilogram.
He is 168cm tall, but his weight is always around 50kg, and he also has abdominal muscles.
This is what gives her the courage to eat snacks in front of other policewomen, and it is also the source of hatred…
Officer Wang was stunned when he checked out.
The small dog ignored the buns, but the price was so high that he burst into tears. He instantly felt like he had been cheated.
I thought if I had known earlier, I might as well treat him to a hamburger…
Back on the Lotus Overpass, the three of them were going to take a bus on the other side and then go back to their homes.
It’s almost 8 o’clock in the evening. The number of pedestrians on the pedestrian bridge is gradually decreasing, and the vendors on the roadside are gradually starting to go home.
On the overpass, a long-haired girl carrying a schoolbag held a piece of handwritten white paper, which read: “Student, please give me 20 yuan for travel home.”
“It’s a lie.” Officer Wang felt a headache as soon as he saw it: “What age are you in? Are you still doing this?”
Officer Wang even sometimes wanted to investigate, how much money can these people make from begging every day?
Wouldn’t it be better to find a good job? “Sister, sister.” The long-haired girl saw the beautiful Lu Weiwei and immediately stepped forward to stop her.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Weiwei asked.
“Can I ask you something? Can you give me 20 yuan for my trip home? I lost my wallet and student ID.”
The little girl looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, looking pitiful…
Lu Weiwei looked back at Gu Chen, feeling embarrassed, as if she was looking for reinforcements.
“Are you so pitiful?” Gu Chen walked to Lu Weiwei and stood side by side with her in front of the little girl: “Eh? Can I ask you a question first?”
Little girl:? ? ?
“What is the parabola of a quadratic function?”
“Huh?” The little girl was confused for a moment and stared at Gu Chen dumbfounded.
“Okay, let me ask you a simple question again, what is the formula of the Pythagorean theorem?” Gu Chen instantly asked a new question: “Can this be answered?”
The little girl was confused again.
Gu Chen had already taken out twenty yuan from his wallet and held it in his hand: “How about I ask you another question?”
The little girl couldn’t bear it anymore, so she took a few steps back, turned around and ran away.
Gu Chen jogged to catch up: “Little girl, don’t leave. If you don’t study well, you won’t get the money!”
Lu Weiwei was already laughing at the side and hammered Gu Chen on the back: “Junior brother Gu, are there any people who are so generous as you?”
“These liars should be taught a lesson.” Officer Wang also burst into tears with laughter, but suddenly he realized that he didn’t seem to remember the formula of the Pythagorean Theorem.
The three of them turned back and continued walking to the side of the overpass.
Officer Wang asked: “Hey, do you think that girl just now looks like Hu Mengyao in the photo?”
Lu Weiwei shook her head: “It doesn’t look like that.”
Gu Chen also shook his head: “It doesn’t look like that.”
“Is it because I’m face-blind?” Officer Wang held his chin, thoughtfully.
When I walked to the bus stop 100 meters under the overpass, there was another short-haired girl of 17 or 18 years old sitting next to her, carrying a schoolbag and sitting cross-legged on the ground. In front of her was a letter written in chalk in block letters: “Please give me 6 yuan for travel expenses to go home.”
The writing in block letters was beautiful, and there was a one-dollar bill on the ground, pressed with pebbles.
“Hey!” When Officer Wang saw this, he immediately said angrily: “One has just left and another one has come. Are these crooks gathering here to beg? It seems that they should be properly managed.”
“Junior Brother Gu.” Lu Weiwei turned to look at Gu Chen: “What do you think of the girl asking for 6 yuan for travel home on the roadside?”
Gu Chen thought for a while and said, “Maybe girls who bring chalk when they go out will not have good luck, right?”
However, Gu Chen stepped forward and took a closer look. The girl in front of him looked somewhat similar to Hu Mengyao in the photo.
The girl’s skin is a little dark, but her clothes are quite clean.
Gu Chen took the initiative to step forward, knelt down, took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and compared it with the photos of Hu Mengyao in it.
The little girl seemed a little scared, lowering her head and not daring to look at Gu Chen.
Seeing Gu Chen making comparisons, Lu Weiwei knelt down and asked, “Your name is Hu Mengyao?”
The little girl shook her head.
“But you do look a bit similar. Are you from Jiangbei?” Lu Weiwei asked again.
The little girl slowly raised her head and spoke Mandarin with a slight accent of the local dialect of Jiangnan City.
“She is not from the north, nor is she Hu Mengyao.” Gu Chen stood up with certainty.
Why can you say that? Because Gu Chen has specialized observation skills, his ability to identify people is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After careful identification, Gu Chen found that although the two people’s faces and hairstyles were somewhat similar, there were still many differences.
Hu Mengyao has double eyelids, while the girls in front of her have double eyelids.
Hu Mengyao had tear moles at the corners of her eyes, but the girl in front of her did not.
Moreover, Hu Mengyao’s face is relatively square and her nose bridge is relatively high, which the girl in front of her does not have.
From this point of view, although the two people are somewhat similar in appearance, they are not the same person.
“Maybe she is the person that the crowd said is similar to Hu Mengyao, right?” Gu Chen also made an assumption.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei also took out their mobile phones and opened the photo album for comparison.
After Gu Chen said this, the two of them really realized that the little girl in front of them did have some similarities with Hu Mengyao.
Three people gathered in front of the little girl, which made the little girl start to feel timid and could not help but hug her knees tightly.
Most people can’t help but think twice when given 20 yuan, and the chances of paying for it are definitely not high.
But the little girl in front of me only wants 6 yuan, and there is a one-yuan note pressed with pebbles in front of her. Normally, people would give either 5 yuan or 10 yuan, and the chance of paying will be greatly increased.
Think about it this way, they are the same two little girls begging, but their business ideas are completely different.
The little girl nodded to Officer Wang and said, “Yes, I only need 6 yuan for the fare to go home.”
After Gu Chen’s demonstration just now, Officer Wang immediately opened his wallet proudly and imitated Gu Chen’s way of taking out money.
But as soon as he opened his wallet, Officer Wang was instantly confused…
When I paid for Goubuli Baozi just now, I used mobile payment. Apart from some bank cards, I only had a five-yuan note and a hundred-yuan Mao Zedong left in my wallet.
Thinking that it was not a good idea to pay five yuan, Officer Wang hesitated, held the hundred yuan Mao Ye between his two fingers, and imitated Gu Chen’s tone just now and said: “Eh? Can I ask you a question first?” “
“Okay.” The little girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Officer Wang smiled: “If you can answer it, then I will give you this hundred yuan for travel expenses, okay?”
“Okay.” The little girl nodded again like a chicken pecking at rice.
“What is the formula of the Pythagorean theorem?” Officer Wang asked with a smile, expecting the confused look in the little girl’s eyes.
“In any plane right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two right-angled sides must be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.” After the little girl finished speaking, she picked up the chalk and started writing on the ground, murmuring: “In △ In ABC, ∠C=90°, then a+b=c.”
She raised her head and glanced at the confused Officer Wang. She was afraid that Officer Wang would regret it. The little girl continued to write with chalk and read while writing: “On the contrary, if there is such a relationship between the sides of any triangle, that is, a+b=c, then The triangle is a right triangle.”
Looking up at Officer Wang’s confused eyes again, the little girl asked weakly: “Uncle, is this okay?”
Officer Wang blinked and glanced blankly at Gu Chen beside him, as if to confirm whether the formula was correct.
After seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei both nodding silently, Officer Wang instantly became desperate.
Why is this different from what you imagined? ! Wasn’t that girl just unable to answer the question? But why can I answer this? Why doesn’t this girl follow the routine?
“Uncle, integrity is the basic rule of life.” The little girl tilted her head and looked at Officer Wang, feeling that he didn’t want to give money.
“Here… give it, I didn’t say not to give it.” Officer Wang endured the severe pain, thinking that the loss of a hundred yuan would be fine, would he die if he called me brother? Are you that old?
Slowly handed Grandpa Mao in his hand to the little girl.
The little girl held the hundred-dollar bill with both hands, and then she used all her strength to pull it out from Officer Wang’s fingers. Then she bowed deeply and said, “Uncle, you are a good person.”
After saying that, the little girl ran away, fearing that Officer Wang would suddenly regret it.
“What the hell…”
Officer Wang was so angry that he wanted to slap himself in the face, but after seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei suppressing their laughter, he gave up.
“What’s so funny? Maybe that girl really wants travel expenses? With such good grades, how can she not be a student?”
Officer Wang felt much better when he thought about it this way.
“Haha, who asked you to imitate Junior Brother Gu?” Lu Weiwei was now proud: “Old Wang, are you too generous? Junior Brother Gu took out 20 yuan, and you just paid 100 yuan. You are so generous. If you had known We can also go to the old street for a late-night snack, but now you have ruined everything, haha.”
“Stop laughing.” Officer Wang stuffed his wallet back into his pocket and suddenly remembered something. He raised his head and pointed at Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen and said: “You know this, I know he knows, only the three of us know about it, go back to the police station No one is allowed to talk nonsense, especially you, Lu Weiwei, keep your mouth shut.”
Lu Weiwei covered her mouth and nodded weirdly: “Don’t worry, Old Wang, cannibals are short-tongued. If you treat us to eat Goubuli steamed buns, I won’t say anything nonsense, but I won’t say anything when I’m hungry next time.” knew.”
“Hey!” Officer Wang suddenly felt like the handle was in someone else’s hands, and his whole body felt bad: “Lu Weiwei, you are so cruel.”
“Pfft! Lao Wang, you will gain wisdom after suffering. Suffering is a blessing. Don’t just imitate Junior Brother Gu, hahahahaha!”
Just when a few people were teasing each other, the little girl just now returned with her schoolbag on her back.
Then, she handed a handful of change in her hand to Officer Wang.
“What…what happened? Why are you back again?” Officer Wang was even more confused now, thinking to himself, was the money he gave him just now fake money? “This is the change I just exchanged at the roadside canteen. It’s 94 yuan in total. Count it.” The little girl said.
Officer Wang took the change and looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei inexplicably.
Do you think you can still get money back from the money you have squandered these days? “you……”
“Uncle, you must think I’m a liar, right? Actually, no, I really lost my wallet.” The little girl said neither humble nor overbearing.
“Then where did you get the chalk?” Officer Wang remembered what Gu Chen had just said, that girls who bring chalk when they go out may not have good luck.
“Chalk is brought out by the school for casual play.” In order to dispel Officer Wang’s concerns, the little girl added: “I live in Jiangnan No. 2 Middle School for high school. My home is in Panlong Town. Today is the school holiday, so I am going home. As a result, I lost my wallet and was short of seven yuan for travel expenses. In addition to my own money and the six yuan you gave me, I’ll give you the rest.”
After finishing speaking, the little girl bowed her head again: “Thank you, uncle, you are a good person.”
Officer Wang was confused again…
How do you describe this feeling?
It feels like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs. First it will give you a big spin, and then it will give you a big wave. When you are so scared that you almost pee your pants, you realize that you are wearing VR glasses.
Patting his chest, Officer Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: “What did I say? This little girl must be a student. With such good grades, can she not be a student?”
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei didn’t speak. They suppressed their laughter and did not expose Officer Wang.
“Uncle, are you looking for a girl who looks similar to me?”
Just when several people fell in love and killed each other over the misunderstanding just now, the little girl suddenly asked.
“You know we are looking for someone?” Officer Wang was stunned for a moment.
“The big V public accounts in Jiangnan City have been pushing it these days. My classmate said that person looks like me, and even joked that we are long-lost sisters.” The little girl also said with a smile.
“Then have you seen her?” Gu Chen asked.
The little girl nodded: “Not to mention, I may have met the girl you are looking for once on the bus back to school from Panlong Town last week. I was going back to Jiangnan City No. 2 Middle School, and she was going to Panlong Town. It seems like he’s going to work.”
After hearing the news, Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei all felt that their hard work had paid off.
Searching for a needle in a haystack was in vain, but in the end, I got the news from this little girl who looked similar.
Lu Weiwei quickly opened the photo album on her phone, held it in front of the little girl and asked, “This is this person, are you sure it’s her?”
“Yes.” The little girl took one look and nodded: “But I can’t be 100% sure that the person I saw that day was this Hu Mengyao. After all, that girl’s makeup is very different from the way she looks in the school uniform in the photo now. It’s really hard to tell if you don’t look carefully.”
After thinking about it, the little girl asked again: “Are you helping the police find her?”
“Yes.” Gu Chen smiled and continued to ask: “Then do you know, did she go to Panlong Town alone? Or did she go with her companions?”
“this……”
The little girl hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly said: “I remembered, there seemed to be a few people with her. I heard that they went to Panlong Town to prepare for a show, and there was a show going to be filmed over there at my house. The filming of the variety show is in that area, you can go and see it when you have time.”
“TV show?”
“In Panlong Town?”
Several people looked at each other, feeling that it was not difficult to investigate this matter. Aren’t Reporter Bai and Photography Wu staff of the TV station? Wouldn’t it be better to ask them about the situation?
The little girl looked down at her watch and suddenly said in surprise: “Oh, I can’t do it. If I don’t leave, I won’t be able to catch the last train. Thank you for your travel expenses, thank you.”
After bowing and thanking her again, the little girl ran towards the old bus station.
“Gu Chen, call and ask Reporter Bai to see if their TV station has assisted in any variety shows recorded in Panlong Town recently.” Officer Wang immediately became serious, feeling that there was a breakthrough in clues.
Gu Chen immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the number Bai Xiaolan left for him.
After a brief exchange, Gu Chen hung up the phone and said, “Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, Jiangnan City TV Station, there really is an online variety show, filmed in Panlong Town.”
“Where’s the time?” Lu Weiwei asked, “Is the filming finished?”
“It’s not over.” Gu Chen affirmed: “Last week we were preparing for location selection, and this week is the official shooting.”
After receiving this good news, Officer Wang felt that today was not an unlucky day. Doing good deeds was not without rewards.
At the very least, the 94 yuan in change returned is enough for me to go to the old street for another meal.
Thinking of this, Officer Wang suddenly tightened his grip on the change, feeling that Lu Weiwei would definitely not let go of the change…
