disappearing gold

Chapter 42 The girl buying jewelry
  In the photo, Chen Hui is smiling slightly, in the most beautiful years of her youth. Does she know Cheng Fei? If she knows Chen Fei, what is her relationship with Cheng Fei?

Looking at the phone with the screen off, she frowned and thought for a while. Is Chen Hui busy at the moment, or is she doing something?
  Just as he was about to continue calling, the caller came again from the person who was still staying in Nanhua City. Since the matter was still unclear, Lao Sun hesitated for a while and decided to let him continue to guard the door of the cement factory.

He said: "Captain Sun, just now Zhu Lan called me because she was bored and said that she was bitten by a wild dog and was hospitalized. I...I am a little worried about her. Can you take a leave to visit her in the hospital?"

"You don't have to keep an eye on the sentry anymore?" Lao Sun asked.

"Isn't there a colleague here? Cheng Fei is never here anyway, so there is no need to change shifts to replace him. Unless something happens over there." Tong Ge said.

Lao Sun pressed his temples, "No news for now. Forget it, take care of her by the way!"

"I know, you don't have to say it!" Tong Ge smiled and hung up the phone. Lao Sun could imagine that his mouth was grinning almost to the ears.

"Hey! This kid!" Lao Sun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She picked up the tea and water on the table and took a sip. Then he continued to call Chen Hui's mobile phone. This time, the phone finally connected.

A confused female voice came from the other side, "Hello?"

"Hello, are you Chen Hui?"

"Yes, who are you? What do you want from me?" His words were crisp and clear.

"That's right, I'm a police officer from the Qingcheng City Criminal Police Team. Do you know Cheng Fei?" Lao Sun asked.

Chen Hui's tone suddenly became cold, "I don't know, you made the wrong call."

This change in attitude made Lao Sun feel strange to a certain extent. The other party was about to hang up the phone after finishing speaking. Lao Sun quickly stopped him, "Wait, don't hang up yet."

"What?" Chen Hui's mocking voice was filtered by the cold air, so cold that it almost turned into ice.

"We have something to do with Cheng Fei. Your photo fell off his bed. Are you really—"

"What did he commit?" Chen Hui blurted out, then paused and changed her words, "What does it have to do with me?"

Lao Sun didn't answer yet, he was stunned for a while.

Chen Hui added: "Anyway, I don't know this person."

This was her tone of anger and disgust. It seemed that this girl not only knew Cheng Fei, but also had something unpleasant happen to him.

Before the old detective could react, the girl suddenly hung up the phone. I just found a clue, why did it stop again? She smiled helplessly, she is so young now!
  She sighed as she walked into the information department.

Xiao Feng still insisted on checking the surveillance, but his eyes were already sore and swollen. I saw someone sitting on a chair, pressing his brow with both hands.

"Hey! Just in time, Xiao Feng, can you help me locate Chen Hui's position and see where she is now?"

"What Chen Hui, who is Chen Hui?"

"Look for it first, and I'll let you know when I find it." Lao Sun deliberately let it slip.

Helpless, Xiao Feng had no choice but to try to locate based on Chen Hui's mobile phone number and the relevant mobile applications she logged in. Fortunately, Chen Hui also turned on mobile phone positioning, which made the operation not difficult.

The location shows that Chen Hui is operating in the area of ​​Happy Shopping Mall, a large shopping mall in Nanhua City.

Lao Sun decided to go to this shopping mall and took Xiao Li with him. Xiao Li has good physical fitness and is good at fighting. If there is an emergency, we can deal with it together.

After printing another photo with Chen Hui on it, they set off.

Passing the highway, there was some delay. But they finally arrived at Le Shopping Mall at 11:.

This shopping mall has a total of five floors. The first floor is jewelry stores and clothing stores, the second floor is restaurants, the third floor is children's playground, the fourth floor is bookstores and electrical appliances, and the fifth floor is movie city.

A long time has passed, and the possibility of Chen Hui staying where he is is very low.

In order to save time, Lao Sun asked Xiao Li to take the elevator directly to the third floor and search upwards from that floor. She started from the first floor and looked for Chen Hui's photos.

People nowadays are addicted to the Internet. They even do most of their shopping online. There are usually no people in shopping malls.

But today is an exception. It is the weekend and many young people are out shopping.

Lao Sun glanced over and found Chen Hui's shadow in the jewelry store. He passed various clothing stores and boutiques, but still couldn't find Chen Hui.

She started looking for a restaurant, which was more embarrassing. As soon as she stepped in, the waiter came over and asked her what she wanted to eat. "I'm just looking for someone." Lao Sun sent the photo to the waiter, "Can you help me see if there is this person in it?"

The waiter looked unhappy, but could only accept it. He took the photo album and walked around inside, comparing it vigorously. The restaurant is relatively dark and is generally a romantic place suitable for couples to date.

So he looked at it for a long time before taking the album back and saying it didn't exist.

Lao Sun just continued to look for the next one.

Xiao Li upstairs walked around the children's playground. The music of various games filled his eardrums. Many adults were guiding the children to play the games. There are some young girls among them, but they are not Chen Hui.

He walked around the bookstore, where there were six girls immersed in reading. He deliberately approached the one in the corner to take a look, but the girl's long hair hung down, covering her face.

He could only get closer, but the girl noticed this move and she cursed: "Rogue!"

"I——" Xiao Li was speechless. But the moment the girl raised her head, her face was clearly visible. She is not Chen Hui, nor does she look like Chen Hui.

He took out the photo again, and then he realized - Chen Hui had a braid on the back of her head! He made such a principled mistake.

How stupid! He slapped himself hard on the head.

So, he continued to search.

Later, he walked to the gate of the movie city. The cinema city just opened its doors, and many young men and women came out at once.

He placed the photo album in front of him and quickly scanned the young men and women passing by.

But some people walked very fast, and some were too short. Before I could see their faces clearly, they were already far away.

After going around, Xiao Li found nothing.

He called Lao Sun, "Hey, Captain Sun, I didn't find it. Where are you?"

"Come to the first floor and we'll search again."

"Okay, just read it one more time."

Xiao Li went downstairs.

Lao Sun returned to the jewelry store on the first floor from the second floor. Many people who came down from upstairs poured into the jewelry store.

The store suddenly became lively.

Two girls were looking at gold jewelry at the counter.

She moved a little closer to observe.

The two girls didn't know what was said and laughed. One has her hair loose, and the other has small peppers on the back of her head, which looks particularly like Chen Hui's large one.

Lao Sun was sure that these two people were not in the store just now.

The clerk who sells jewelry is putting jewelry into boxes. After a while, she handed the box to the girl with the little pepper on it.

The girl raised her head. She had a beautiful side profile and delicate facial features. Old Sun felt that she looked familiar, so he walked over and said hello: "Hello, are you Chen Hui?"

"Who are you?" She looked disdainful.

Old Sun was embarrassed, "Can't you recognize my voice?"

"Who is it? I have something to do." She turned around to pay.

After a while, the two girls walked out of the jewelry store arm in arm.

Lao Sun hurriedly chased them to the door of the store and stopped them, "Wait a minute, Chen Hui, I have something to do with you."

"How do you know my name is Chen Hui?"

"The person we talked to on the phone just now is a police officer from Qingcheng City." Lao Sun explained patiently.
