Chapter 5: Zhang Yan's Girlfriend

There was a hint of apology on his face

Do not panic, I am just looking for Lu Chao to ask a few questions. Feng Ziqi also did not want to cause unnecessary alarm

Brother Gang, what are you talking about? My life was given to me by you. If it weren't for you back then, I would have been gone long ago. Brother, if there is any way I can help you, just let me know. I will definitely not hesitate as long as it is within my capability.

Lu Ping merely shook her head, but did not speak

Liao Yifan nodded: "There are wild rumors outside, saying that you shot your rival for a woman, and now the police are searching for you everywhere."

"Are you Lu Ping?" As Feng Ziqi spoke, he forcefully pushed open the door. Lu Ping was startled and wanted to shout, but Feng Ziqi had already barged in and conveniently closed the door behind him

Xiao Gang threw the cigarette butt out of the car window

Lu Ping was also looking at Feng Ziqi, meeting his gaze, and even added a hint of provocation.

Xiao Gang forced a smile and said, "Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"

Fan Cheng furrowed his brow and smoked a cigarette; this time, he did not interject

It is ! ''

Ling Li, after finishing his words, picked up the teacup but did not drink. He merely gazed at the few tea leaves floating in the cup, as if they were a blooming flower

Lu Ping's actions came to a halt, as it turned out that the person was indeed targeting Zhang Yan. They must have known their relationship with Zhang Yan to have come directly to the door.

I am very scared, what should I do

His situation is very dangerous. If you do not want anything to happen to him, it is best to tell me where he is; I can help him. Feng Ziqi's face was earnest, as only by finding Zhang Yan could there be a possibility of clearing Xiao Gang's suspicion.

I do not know, he has not been in contact with me for a long time

Looking through the peephole, I saw a man in his thirties appear. He did not seem like a bad person, and there was a sense of righteousness in his demeanor.

Feng Zi and Tu Shuqi pulled Lu Chao outside: "Lu Chao, do you know Zhang Yan?"

Lu Ping's heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly tightened again. She stood up, adjusted her dress, and walked to the door in her slippers

Where is he? I want to see him. Feng Ziqi thought to himself that he had indeed found the right person

I do not know, he has not contacted me for several days now. Lu Ping's voice was very low, fearing that someone might overhear.

Lu Ping did not cry out, feeling a slight sense of fear in her heart. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Who, who exactly are you?"

Lu Ping's heart tightened; the man in front of her was here to find her, yet she did not recognize him at all

Tan Kaishan looked at the other officers, who remained silent. In fact, the real decision-makers of the special investigation team were Tan Kaishan, Fan Cheng, and Ling Li. Tan Kaishan made a proposal, Ling Li agreed, and Fan Cheng's opposition held little significance. Thus, the matter was settled.

Lu Ping closed the door to her room and casually kicked off her high heels onto the floor, changing into slippers

Feng Ziqi took out his identification: "Police!"

Do you know where she lives

These words had been pent up in Ling Li's heart for a long time, and once spoken, he seemed to feel much lighter

Where is Zhang Yan?" Xiao Gang asked in a deep voice

Well, you mustn't tell him, otherwise I will be doomed

His shout startled all those playing cards, and some stood up and wanted to run away

She pressed her lips together and asked, "Who are you?"

Feng Ziqi sighed and handed her a business card: "If you have any news about him, please give me a call"

Fan Cheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about those matters. Find a way to locate Zhang Yan before Feng Ziqi does."

Feng Ziqi found Lu Ping's home address in the Human Resources Department and drove towards Lu Ping's house

Feng Ziqi looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "May I ask if Lu Ping lives here?"

The doorbell rang

Sitting on the sofa, the whole person seemed to let out a sigh of relief

Having packed everything, Liao Yifan was ready to leave when Xiao Gang called him back and handed him several hundred yuan bills, saying: "Help me buy two mobile phones, and also get a few unregistered SIM cards. The phones don't need to be too good; basic models will suffice."

Before Feng Ziqi could say anything, Mo Shaoping hung up the phone

I really don't know, Xiao Ge, I still have work, I will hang up first, so don't call again. Lu Ping hung up the phone, and Xiao Gang squinted his eyes, taking a deep drag on his cigarette

It is I," said Xiao Gang

Not far away, a burly man with a bushy beard approached and said: "Kid, don't cause trouble here, or you'll regret it!"

Lu Chao!" Feng Ziqi called out.

She hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door a crack: "Who are you looking for?"

The office of Fan Cheng at the Public Security Bureau of Qiao City

I apologize for the trouble I have caused you. "Xiao Gang gently patted Liao Yifan's shoulder

Liao Yifan's expression darkened: "Brother, I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean by being a burden? I believe you would never do such a thing."

Lu Ping changed out of her work uniform and hurriedly ran out of the hotel, hailing a taxi by the roadside

Feng Ziqi let out a light snort and said, "Then you should think carefully about who is familiar with him"

Xiao Gang pressed his lips together and said, "You have heard about my matters, haven't you?"

Xiao Gang looked at the young man who was much younger than himself, feeling as if a bottle of mixed flavors had been overturned in his heart. He never expected that at this moment, the one he could trust and rely on would actually be a small thug he had saved years ago.

Feng Ziqi squinted his eyes, trying to discern whether the woman before him was lying.

A man with a small mustache raised his head to look at Feng Ziqi and asked, "Who are you?"

I believe someone is trying to frame Xiao Gang. As for the reason, there are only two possibilities. One is revenge; after all, who among us police officers has not offended someone? To say we have offended people is an understatement, especially for criminal police and narcotics officers, who does not have a few enemies? The second possibility may be related to a case that Xiao Gang is currently investigating. I asked Director Mo, and Xiao Gang is indeed handling a major case, but Director Mo is not very clear about the specifics. However, Director Mo did mention that Feng Ziqi might know something, so I think Director Tan is right; having Feng Ziqi join the special investigation team might help us gather more clues.

Then she made a phone call, and after hanging up, the waitress said: "Lu Ping has finished her shift and just left a short while ago"

Liao Yifan was making the bed on one side while saying to Xiao Gang, "Brother Gang, you can make do here for a few days; you know my situation."

Feng Ziqi felt somewhat dazed, but he still managed to let out a breath

Feng Ziqi sneered: "Don't try to play tricks on me; with your limited skills, it would take me no time at all to deal with you"

The woman's voice trembled slightly: "Xiao, Brother Xiao!"

I truly do not know; I swear that if I deceived you into going out, let the car hit me to death

The bearded man glanced at the police badge and then said to the mustached man: "Lu Chao, hurry up and go with the officer to clarify the situation."

A police officer actually barged into his own home in this manner, and Lu Ping's expression darkened: "Even if you are a police officer, you cannot forcibly enter a private residence, can you?" Saying this, she walked over to the coffee table and grabbed her phone: "You need to leave immediately, otherwise I will call the police."

Lu Ping took the business card: "If he contacts me, I will call you."

Feng Ziqi took out his identification along with the book and said: "Do not be afraid, I am a police officer"

Lu Ping is unwilling to speak, and he cannot force someone to do so; he is a police officer, not a bandit

He hung up the phone after speaking.

Fan Cheng coughed twice and said, "I reserve my opinion"

I checked, but the identification used was fake. The landlord also cannot remember what that person looks like. I tried drawing a few sketches, and he said that each one resembles him a bit.

A Volkswagen Tiguan stopped in front of the Jiangcheng Hotel, and Feng Ziqi got out of the car and entered the hotel

Although Lu Ping heard the sound of Feng Ziqi closing the door, she still ran to the door and locked it from the inside

Feng Ziqi walked into a mahjong parlor on Victory Road, glanced around, and headed straight to the innermost table.

"Fan Da, it seems that Feng Ziqi is looking for someone named Zhang Yan," Shen Fei said, hesitating for a moment before adding, "Fan Da, are we perhaps going a bit too far? It would be difficult to explain if he finds out.

I will think carefully about where he might go

Feng Ziqi left in disappointment

Fan Cheng fell silent for a few seconds, then said: "I heard that Feng Ziqi is looking for someone named Zhang Yan"

I don't know, but you can ask the Human Resources Department; the employee records should have the home address. The waitress added, "Just don't say I told you so when you go."

Lu Chao nodded: "I know."

After the meeting, Tan Kaishan called Mo Shaoping to inform him about Feng Ziqi joining the special task force, asking him to notify Feng Ziqi to report to the task force.

Xiao Gang held the phone that Liao Yifan had bought for him, inserted a SIM card, and dialed a number: "Hello, is this Jiangcheng Hotel? Please look for Lu Ping."

Feng Ziqi did not stop her, but merely said淡淡地说道: "Where is Zhang Yan?"

I am looking for Lu Ping, could you please call her?" At the main desk, Feng Ziqi presented his credentials, and the female attendant at the main desk quickly replied, "Please wait a moment.

Little Huzi furrowed his brows, his body tilted as he tried to struggle against the hand that Feng Ziqi had placed on his shoulder, but he was unable to break free

The other party asked him to wait a moment, he lit a cigarette, and after a while, a woman's voice came from the phone: "Who is this?"

Xiao Gang also did not persist any longer

He took out his phone from the bag, hesitated for a moment, and then placed the phone back on the coffee table

Thank you

Feng Ziqi placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Come out with me for a moment, I need to ask you something"

After Shen Fei left, Fan Cheng rubbed his temples and picked up the internal phone to call Ling Li: "Old Ling, have you found out who rented that apartment in Lazi Alley?"

I am on Victory Road, Mo Tou. Do you have any instructions?

After hanging up the phone, Mo Shaoping took out his mobile phone and dialed the number: "Ziqi, where are you now?"

Only after getting into the car did she dial a number: "He called me, it was the hotel room service number, he asked me where you are, but I didn't tell him"

Mo Shaoping said calmly: "The higher-ups have already agreed to your joining the project team, so you can report to Director Tan directly this afternoon"

I will think about it, I will think about it, in this way, when he calls you again, you just tell him...

How can I take your money, brother? I have money; I currently have a job, and I have my meals at the workplace. You also know that I don't even have a girlfriend, so I am at a loss for how to spend this money. There are many places where you need money now, so keep it for yourself. If you need anything, just let me know, brother. Over the past few years, I have saved a little over ten thousand.

Lu Chao said with a苦脸: "Officer, I know Zhang Yan, but I am not very familiar with him, so I have no idea where he is."

Lu Chao bit his lip, squinting as he thought: "I heard he has a significant other named Lu Ping, who is the manager of the housekeeping department at the Jiangcheng Hotel"
