Chapter 923: Urban Primeval Forest

Chapter 923: Urban Primeval Forest

The leader of the Changle Municipal Bureau is warm and amiable, always smiling, and sweet-spoken. He has both charisma and a sense of humor. He is a leader who has reached the ordinary level of others.

Jiang Yuan felt very comfortable.

Leaders are like dogs, they are the most fun to own other people’s dogs.

The dinner, which lasted more than three hours, can be said to be quite pleasant. During the meal, guests from outside units sang a cappella, someone performed ventriloquism, and someone else talked about Kunqu Opera, which was performed on the spot with commentary.

Therefore, folk customs have never disappeared. They have only moved from the people to the world of fame and fortune, which is where they were born and raised.

No matters such as case funds and vehicles were discussed during the meeting, but Lang Heng provided Jiang Yuan's backlog case task force with a fully staffed brigade of 22 criminal police officers, which could be said to be full support.

At the same time, under the concern of the city bureau leaders, the technical detectives also quickly gave a report.

The next morning, Jiang Yuan followed the people from the Changle Criminal Police Detachment and went to the restaurant where Chen Nuan worked to investigate.

The team leader, Su Shanming, had come to the restaurant yesterday to investigate. He was now accompanying Jiang Yuan and said, "This restaurant is called Xiaoli Popular Fast Food. The owner is Ma Qianzao, a man in his thirties. The restaurant is not small in size. There are usually more than a dozen people employed, four or five in the kitchen, and the rest working in the front. The turnover of staff is very high, and people often leave."

“Why did you leave?”

"The pay is low. They only pay the waiters around 2000 yuan, and they also deduct dormitory fees, water, electricity, and internet fees. Ma Qianzao used to run a fast food restaurant on a construction site, and he learned all the tricks from the construction site. He posts advertisements at train stations and bus stations all year round to recruit people, and also uses intermediaries. When people come, they deduct their wages. Most of the waiters just save up a little money and run away." Su Shanming's introduction was quite detailed. From the criminal police's suspicious style, this restaurant itself is full of contradictions, and there is a basis for crime to occur.

"So there are many people like Chen Nuan?" Liu Jinghui asked.

Su Shanming hesitated for a moment and said, "All kinds of people. The most attractive thing about his restaurant is that it provides food and accommodation. Although the accommodation fee will be deducted from you, no matter what, living in the dormitory of the restaurant solves a person's basic living problems. You can also take a shower and surf the Internet. The conditions are better than being a Sanhe God. You can quit your job after saving money. As a person's first stop in Changle, it is also acceptable."

"It's not easy for a woman to be a Sanhe God." Liu Jinghui said this, and then frowned: "Chen Nuan is missing. Did anyone call the police? Are the employees who worked for Chen Nuan still here? Has anyone resigned during this period?"

"No one called the police. There are employees who know Chen Nuan. Many people resigned during this period." Su Shanming answered three questions quickly. He had already learned about this kind of questions when he investigated yesterday.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Jiang Yuan and others walked around the restaurant, went to see the dormitory, and then talked to the restaurant owner Ma Qianzao.

Ma Qianzao was not a suspect, so Meng Chengbiao questioned him on the spot.

Several young criminal police officers present were listening and looking at Ma Qianzao with sharp eyes. From a normal person's perspective, Ma Qianzao was not only not a good person, but also quite suspicious.

This was obviously not the first time that Ma Qianzao had come into contact with the police. After a few words, he began to distance himself from the matter, saying, "Chen Nuan and I are just employees. People come in every month, and people leave every month. Some people leave in a friendly way, saying hello and having a farewell dinner, while others leave quietly. What can I do? I can't call the police every time."

"You left without saying anything. Don't you find it strange?" Meng Chengbiao actually understood the situation, but he wanted to ask and let Ma Qianzao explain himself. The more others said, the easier it was to find loopholes in his words.

Ma Qianzao chuckled and said, "I thought it was strange when I first opened the shop, but now I'm used to it. To be honest, many people here just can't make a living and come here to find a way to make a living. Those who can find a job that pays 3000 yuan, can live and eat at home, and have a few hundred yuan in pocket money will not come to work for me."

"It has nothing to do with leaving without a word."

"What I mean is, no one wants to work for me all the time, and I don't need them to work for me all the time. If they make some money and find other jobs and want to leave, I'll see them off. Many people who come to work for me have nothing when they come. I don't sign a contract with them, so it's normal for them to leave after getting paid. Some people work for a few more days after getting paid, but don't even bother to pay me. Since they don't have anything to take, they just leave."

When Meng Chengbiao heard this, his eyes narrowed: "Has Chen Nuan received her salary?"

"It was harvested a week before I left." Ma Qianzao had checked this before.

Meng Chengbiao frowned. This period of time was neither long nor short, and it could not be used as a basis.

Ma Qianzao understood some of the ways of doing things of the criminal police. Taking advantage of the fact that there were several leaders in front of him, he immediately said, "If someone finds a good job with a high salary, some people will not want to come back to pick up their things. To be honest, among the employees who work here, there are always some who will not come back to pick up their luggage unless it is something of commemorative significance. Especially those who have found a partner, they may even have to tell their boyfriends when they move. Why bother to let others look down on them for a few old clothes or something?"

This reason is really reasonable. Tang Jia couldn't help but say, "How can your business be successful if you exploit your employees and force them to leave? Your employees have no experience. They will probably leave just when they learn how to do things."

"What experience do you need to work in a fast food restaurant? This is hard work. Even smart kids can't stand the hardship here." Ma Qianzao paused and concluded, "Only people who are used to hardship can stand the hardship here. To be honest, I feel bad for employees who have worked for me for half a year. They have all suffered a lot."

Tang Jia actually had a lot of things to say in rebuttal, but at this time, Meng Chengbiao's eyes had already been given to her, and Tang Jia had no choice but to step back and give her seat to Meng Chengbiao.

Meng Chengbiao asked many more questions in detail, asking many of them two or three times. Finally, he nodded to Jiang Yuan and went on to ask other people.

At the same time, the criminal police from the Changle City Criminal Police Detachment took a list obtained through interrogation and checked one by one the people who had worked with Chen Nuan.

Some of these people are still working in the restaurant, some have resigned to work elsewhere, and some have even moved to other places, so we can only call and inquire first.

Jiang Yuan took a team to the dormitory to investigate.

Several teams were doing their own things, and everything was in good order while they were busy.

Jiang Yuan inspected the dormitory very seriously.

Judging from the time, Chen Nuan died the day after she disappeared. In addition, Chen Nuan did not take her belongings with her, so this is most likely her final resting place.

However, the dormitory environment of the restaurant is really too bad. This is an ordinary house with three bedrooms and one living room. The two secondary bedrooms have two bunk beds each, and the master bedroom has three, which means that a total of 14 people can live there.

Since the boss Ma Qianzao was always hiring people, although the house was not fully occupied, there were always at least seven or eight people, and at most twelve or thirteen people. Not only was the internal environment dirty and messy, but all kinds of objects had long been in a mess.

After Chen Nuan disappeared, the belongings she left behind were only kept for more than a week, and gradually some were lost, while others were discarded.

Jiang Yuan and others took advantage of the police's authority and used both coaxing and intimidation to get each other to report, and only then did they get back four pieces of clothing and some small gadgets such as chargers and earphones. There was no trace of anything in the room.

"Urban primeval forest." Jiang Yuan walked out of the dormitory and suddenly said this, which was also inspired. Such an environment, the degree of destruction of traces is really comparable to that of a primeval forest.
