I am a super cop

In the office, Officer Wang also smiled proudly: "There are many such cases every year, usually conflicts between MCN agencies and contracted anchors."

"Girl groups like theirs that debuted just rely on traffic to make money, and they are all doing short-term business."

"Don't expect these MCN agencies to be smart, and don't expect them to pursue long-term development. Long-termism is useless to people like them. They care about whether you can help them make money as quickly as possible."

After a pause, Officer Wang continued, "It's a neighbor in the building next to my home, and she's also a girl who's about to graduate."

"Because of her good looks, she was quickly spotted by the MCN agency. And according to her, in universities like theirs, as soon as school starts, any good-looking girl will be quickly selected."

"So fast? Did the MCN agency plant an undercover agent in the school?" Yuan Shasha was also very curious when she heard it.

But Officer Wang waved his hands and said, "They are not undercover agents. They are seniors. They are intermediaries."

"Whenever I find good-looking juniors, I will immediately take them to an MCN agency and sign them to make money."

"The tricks are nothing more than that. First you are given some sweet benefits, then you are asked to join the organization, and then after class every day, that is, at night, you are asked to do live broadcasts on the platform."

"So from that time on, basically all the good-looking students in their school were live streaming."

"Besides, you have to live stream. You have live streaming tasks every month. You can't quit even if you want to. The penalty fee is simply too much for students to afford."

"What's going on now?" Lu Weiwei was also annoyed when she heard this:
"Why is it always like this? Are these MCN organizations vampires?"

"It's all the same." Officer Wang said helplessly, "It's hard to find a job now, so most people go live streaming. Like the girl group you mentioned, they're also reaping the benefits of traffic."

"Once the traffic stops, they will have no value and will be no different from ordinary anchors."

"So if we don't squeeze hard now, we won't have a chance later."

"Haha." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "But fortunately, some of them have been hospitalized. Now it seems that we can't stop even if we want to."

"You didn't see that the girl group member that Junior Brother Gu and I met last night really looked exhausted."

"Sometimes I still have some selfish motives. I don't want them to be too popular, otherwise my body won't be able to handle it. Those organizations really don't treat live broadcasters as human beings, but as cattle and horses."

"Lu Weiwei, actually we are also cattle and horses, but we are the people's cattle and horses." He Junchao on the side complained.

Everyone burst into laughter.

……

……

A few days later, the concert arrangement that had originally had no news was mentioned again, and various preparatory work was slowly carried out.

Lu Weiwei also began to see the girl group’s activities on the platform.

In the office, Lu Weiwei also reminded everyone: "Did you see that? The MCN agency has started to let this girl group go out to perform again. They really treat them like donkeys."

"No way." Officer Wang took a sip of wolfberry tea and said slowly:
"The concert is coming up soon. This is a good opportunity for the agency to push this girl group to the peak of traffic. They won't miss it."

"Because there are many celebrities participating in the concert, and in my opinion, these celebrities are just serving as foils for this girl group. The key point is to give the girl group the opportunity to perform on a large scale."

"So at this time, we must maintain high exposure of traffic. Only in this way can the traffic continue to exist."

When Lu Weiwei heard this, she nodded silently: "It seems to make sense."

"It's us who are miserable." He Junchao sighed, leaned back in his chair and complained:
"You can imagine the pressure this kind of large-scale event faces, with a large influx of foreign tourists, and the various security pressures are quite high."

"Especially now, everyone likes to come for the traffic, and the workload will be several times the current one."

"It's good that this girl group can really make it out, but we still have to do our job." Officer Wang has long since taken everything lightly.

After all, Officer Wang has participated in large-scale events like this many times, so he is not surprised.

For news like this, everyone was still discussing it in the morning, but the relevant notification came down in the afternoon, and the time was set for next weekend.

So Gu Chen and Zhao Guozhi were also called to the Municipal Bureau for a meeting to discuss security work during the concert.

Because based on the previous traffic of this girl group, there should be a lot of people coming to the concert.

After all, when this girl group was touring in other cities, the venues were small but often packed.

And this time, many celebrities will be tied up, so you can imagine the scene.

After the meeting, Gu Chen returned to the Furong Branch to convey the spirit of the meeting, but everyone had already become accustomed to it.

……

……

The next morning, the phone in the Criminal Investigation Team's office suddenly rang. Yuan Shasha walked over and answered the phone: "Hello, what? Kidnapping?"

After a pause, Yuan Shasha also picked up a pen and paper to record: "Tell me slowly, your employees were kidnapped, or the members of the girl group? The current performance plan..."

Hearing this, Yuan Shasha's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "The girl group you mentioned, is it the one that will be participating in the Jiangnan City concert? The one that's been very popular in our local area recently?"

After a pause, Yuan Shasha continued, "Really? What happened? You don't know, he was fine yesterday, but he disappeared today?"

"Okay, calm down first and speak slowly. Okay, okay, we'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Shasha looked at everyone anxiously:

"Oh no, oh no, a member of our local girl group has been kidnapped."

"What's going on?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she quickly stood up and asked.

Yuan Shasha also quickly explained: "A member of that local girl group was kidnapped at home. Now the girl group is missing a member, and the concert can't go on."

"Where is the location?" Gu Chen realized the seriousness of the situation and asked quickly.

"At No. 28 Qichixiang." said Yuan Shasha.

……

……

The police car slowly drove to the intersection of Qichi Lane and stopped at a parking space. After Gu Chen and others got out of the car, they immediately looked for the address.

At this moment, a group of people were gathered at the door.

When Gu Chen and his companions came over, a middle-aged man wearing glasses also quickly explained to Gu Chen:

"Comrade police, our employee has been kidnapped. What should we do?" It can be seen that the man is really anxious.

Gu Chen also quickly asked him: "What is your relationship with the kidnapped person?"

"She is an employee of our company and I am her supervisor."

"Then how did you know you were kidnapped?" asked Officer Wang.

The middle-aged man wearing glasses quickly took out his mobile phone and clicked on the video.

In the video, a woman was tied to an iron pole with tape around her mouth and her whole body tied up with hemp ropes.

Gu Chen recognized the kidnapped person at a glance. This was the person he and Lu Weiwei met that night.

"Is it her?" Gu Chen said in disbelief.

Lu Weiwei also hurried over: "We know this person, she is a member of that girl group. We have met before."

"When did you meet?" asked one of the tall and thin staff members.

"That night, she went to the hospital to take care of her sick mother. After her mother fell asleep in the hospital, she went to the riverside alone to relax. We met there," said Lu Weiwei.

"So that's how it is?" The glasses supervisor nodded silently, turned his head to look at a haggard middle-aged woman beside him, and said:
"This is the mother of our employee. After hearing the news today, she also rushed back from the hospital."

As soon as the supervisor finished speaking, the haggard middle-aged woman burst into tears and said:
"Comrade police, you must rescue my daughter. You must rescue her."

"Calm down first." Gu Chen first comforted the woman's mother, and then asked everyone:
"Do you know her whereabouts recently?"

"She seems to have been staying at home all the time," said the tall and thin staff member.

Officer Wang then looked at the woman's mother and asked, "Is that so?"

"It should be." With tears in her eyes, the woman's mother choked and said:
"I have been feeling unwell recently and have been hospitalized for treatment. My daughter had a day off a few days ago, so she went to the hospital to take care of me. She usually stays at home."

"But in the past few days, it seems that I have been busy with concert matters, so I was called back by the company."

"Then I should ask you guys." Yuan Shasha looked at the glasses supervisor.

The glasses supervisor also quickly explained: "It's true that I've been very busy recently because I have to rehearse every day to prepare for the concert."

"But our company's headquarters was originally here, but later moved to Shanghai. However, considering the local influence and the fact that the concert will be held here."

"So, our rehearsals during this period have all been carried out in the dance studio here."

"So in principle, we allow them to go home and rest."

"That means they are not living in the company during this period? Instead, they are living at home?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Yes." The glasses supervisor nodded silently and said without hesitation:
"But when I received this video today, I was really scared. I drove to Zhao Xiaomin's house, but found that her door was not locked and no one was home."

"So I contacted her mother based on her file and found out that her mother was in the hospital."

With a heavy sigh, the man with glasses said in frustration: "There is really nothing we can do now. The concert is almost here, but the person is gone. What can we do?"

"Who sent you the video?" Gu Chen continued to ask after he calmed down.

"It was sent to me from Zhao Xiaomin's mobile phone. I called her right away, but the call was not connected at all and her phone was turned off."

With a heavy sigh, the man with glasses also sighed helplessly: "Now our company boss is going crazy. We have been preparing for this concert for a long time and invested a lot of resources. Now that the person is gone, our reputation is going to be ruined."

"What time is it? You are still concerned about the concert. Shouldn't you care about Zhao Xiaomin?" Listening to the man with glasses complaining, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say a few words.

The man with glasses sighed and said, "It's useless to say anything now. We will be doomed if Zhao Xiaomin is not here. We will definitely lose a lot this time."

"If you can't find the person, the public pressure on your police will be very great."

The man with glasses was right. If Zhao Xiaomin could not be found, it would mean that the concert could not go on at all, or it could go on reluctantly without the girl group appearing, but this was also unrealistic.

Because many audiences came just to watch the girl group perform.

Now that the protagonist is gone, it’s a scam for the audience.

The pressure from above would definitely be huge, and Gu Chen was very clear about this.

After taking a deep breath, Gu Chen continued, "Has Zhao Xiaomin offended anyone recently?"

Zhao Xiaomin's mother waved her hands and said, "I don't know. My daughter is usually very well-behaved. Our family is not well off, so my daughter has been working part-time while she is in school."

"Later, I became a live streamer and signed a contract with their agency. Now I am going to hold a concert, but I haven't heard that I have offended anyone."

Hearing Zhao Xiaomin's mother's cry, Gu Chen looked at the man with glasses and asked, "As Zhao Xiaomin's supervisor, you should know Zhao Xiaomin's situation best. Tell me."

"I...I don't know either." The man with glasses also said with a bitter face:
"Usually in the company, we have hired professional dance and singing teachers to train them. When they are in the company every day, they spend their time training and doing live broadcasts."

"Who did they offend? No, they are just a few little girls, who could they offend? There's no need to kidnap them."

"Then if Zhao Xiaomin didn't offend someone, then it was you who offended someone." Gu Chen also went straight to the point.

The man with glasses didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly denied it: "It's impossible, how could our company offend anyone?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Seeing that the man with glasses refused to admit it, Officer Wang beside him said unhappily:
"Kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin and sent the video to you, which means they are targeting your company."

"It looks like they are kidnapping Zhao Xiaomin, but in fact, they are trying to sabotage your company's concert and disrupt your plans."

"From this point of view, Zhao Xiaomin has taken the blame for your company."

"what?"

Hearing what Officer Wang said, the man with glasses suddenly panicked.

Yuan Shasha also hurriedly urged: "Think about it again, have you offended anyone recently?"

"Who knows? Even if someone has offended someone, it should be our boss who has offended him, right?" The man with glasses was a little panicked at this moment.

Gu Chen looked at him and continued to ask: "Where is your boss now?"

"It's in Jiangnan City." said the man with glasses.

Gu Chen sighed and said, "Take us to see him later. Now, all of you stand at the door and don't come in or walk around. We need to investigate the scene."
