I am a super cop

Chapter 2960: Drinking Party Incident
Gu Chen now seriously suspects that Zhao Xiaomin's agency has offended someone it shouldn't have offended, so someone deliberately made trouble and kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin.

After all, the intention is very clear, which is to kidnap the main members of the girl group before the concert starts, so as to ruin the concert.

However, the managers of the MCN agency at this time were completely unaware of all this, which made Gu Chen very worried.

But in order to find clues about Zhao Xiaomin's kidnapping, according to the procedure, Gu Chen needs to search Zhao Xiaomin's home.

After putting on a full set of protective equipment, Gu Chen also walked into the room. This was an old house in an old alley, which had not been demolished because of its age.

Gu Chen first searched Zhao Xiaomin's room based on the suggestion from Zhao Xiaomin's mother, but all the items were intact and there was no sign of them being turned over.

So Gu Chen checked the other rooms and found that all the rooms were exactly the same, all the items were neatly arranged, and there was no sign of rummaging.

Gu Chen returned to the living room, also thoughtful. He came to the door and checked the door lock, but there was still no sign of having been pried open.

"Junior Brother Gu, there are no signs that the room has been rummaged through." Lu Weiwei walked forward and reminded him.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "There is no sign that the entire room has been touched, so it is very likely that Zhao Xiaomin was not kidnapped here."

"Yes, everything is normal." Yuan Shasha also stepped forward and said.

Officer Wang at the side reminded: "Could he have been kidnapped somewhere else?"

"It's very likely." Gu Chen took a deep breath and reminded: "Focus on checking the fingerprints here, extract fingerprint samples and take them back for investigation."

"Understood." Everyone responded in unison.

Then Gu Chen came to the door and asked Zhao Xiaomin's mother: "Did your family lose anything?"

Zhao Xiaomin's mother shook her head: "No, nothing was lost in our house, but the door was not locked, which is very abnormal."

"What's abnormal?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhao Xiaomin's mother quickly explained: "Everyone in our family will lock the door when they go out. We will never leave the door unlocked."

"Your home may not be the first scene." Gu Chen took a deep breath and reminded:
"Because there is no sign of anyone rummaging through your home. If that's the case, then it means Zhao Xiaomin was not kidnapped here."

"Because no matter what, when kidnapping, there will be some traces. For example, if Zhao Xiaomin resisted, there would definitely be traces of resistance left in the room."

"For example, there are traces of dragging and friction on the ground, as well as footprints. From what we can see so far, apart from your footprints, no other footprints have been found."

"What's going on? Where was my daughter kidnapped?" Zhao Xiaomin's mother was really anxious at this moment and looked at the two staff members of the MCN agency.

The glasses manager also said helplessly: "I don't know either. I also received this video, so I quickly contacted you and came to your house. How would I know where Zhao Xiaomin was kidnapped?"

"Has Zhao Xiaomin behaved abnormally recently?" Gu Chen calmed down and continued to ask.

The glasses supervisor thought for a moment and said slowly, "I feel a little resistant."

"What kind of resistance?" Gu Chen asked again.

The glasses supervisor quickly replied: "I just don't want to go to work. I feel a little bored."

"Why? Is it because the workload is too intense?" Gu Chen asked.

"You can understand it this way, right?" The glasses supervisor nodded silently and said without hesitation:
"You don't know how fierce the competition for traffic is now. All MCN agencies are desperately trying to create hit works."

"You can only make money if you promote your own contracted anchors and make them known to the public."

After a pause, the glasses supervisor continued to explain: "For example, our company has signed more than 10 male and female anchors, but less than of them can really make money."

"Most of the time, we rely on the few anchors who make money to subsidize the anchors of the company. Otherwise, the company will lose money."

"We are lucky now that three anchors have suddenly become popular, so we must take advantage of this traffic trend and make more money."

“If you don’t work hard now, you may not be able to seize this opportunity in the future.”

"But you can't treat them like donkeys." After Lu Weiwei collected the fingerprint samples, she also walked out of the house:

"When I met Zhao Xiaomin, she was exhausted and had to go home to take care of her mother in the hospital."

"But you arranged for her to do a commercial performance just after she had rested for a short time. I feel like you won't stop until you squeeze all the value out of her."

"Hey, policewoman, calm down first." Seeing that Lu Weiwei was a little angry, the glasses supervisor also hurried to comfort her:

"I know how you feel, and I understand Zhao Xiaomin's workload, but this company is not mine after all. It belongs to our boss, and I am also following our boss's instructions in arranging the work for the girl group."

With a sigh, the man with glasses said helplessly: "If you want to complain, just find our boss."

"I'm just asking you to find your boss. Please show me the way." Gu Chen also said.

The man with glasses also smiled bitterly, then slowly said: "Okay, since you want to find our boss, then I will arrange it. Just follow me and I will take you there."

Everyone discussed in the yard for a while, and then Gu Chen decided to go to this MCN agency to see what was going on.

……

……

Following the bespectacled man's vehicle, Gu Chen drove to an underground parking lot of a building, then followed the bespectacled man into the elevator and arrived at the 25th floor of the building.

After the elevator door opened, Gu Chen saw the name of the MCN company. Then the man with glasses led everyone through the company's front desk and into the interior of the company.

The first thing that catches your eye is a long and narrow passage. After walking through it, you will pass a comprehensive office, and then various live broadcast rooms, each of which has a different decoration style.

Then the man with glasses took Gu Chen to an independent office at the innermost part.

Arriving at the door, the man with glasses knocked three times and reminded him, "Boss Liao, the police are here and they have something to ask you."

"Come in." A middle-aged man responded from the office.

The man with glasses pushed open the office door and led everyone in.

Only then did Gu Chen realize that a fat middle-aged man was sitting there talking on the phone.

When he saw Gu Chen and the others, the middle-aged fat man quickly echoed a few words into the phone before hanging up.

"Hello." The fat man took the initiative to step forward and shook hands and greeted Gu Chen and the others.

"Are you the boss of this company?" Gu Chen asked.

The fat man nodded silently: "Yes, I am the boss of this MCN agency, you can just call me Lao Liao."

"Mr. Liao, can we have a chat?" said Officer Wang on the side.

"Of course, please take a seat." Mr. Liao arranged for everyone to sit on the sofa, and then a female secretary came in and poured tea for everyone. The man with glasses also sat aside, watching everyone quietly.

Gu Chen got straight to the point: "What happened to Zhao Xiaomin being kidnapped?"

"Ouch." When Mr. Liao heard Gu Chen mention this, he frowned and said helplessly:

"This Zhao Xiaomin matter is giving me a headache right now. In a few days, there will be a celebrity concert in Jiangnan City."

"Originally we wanted them to form a three-member girl group and go on tour in many cities to build up popularity."

"Once I am popular and famous, I will perform on the same stage with other stars and hold a large-scale concert."

With a heavy sigh, Mr. Liao said helplessly: "But now it seems that it is really a headache."

"Zhao Xiaomin was suddenly kidnapped, which really caught us off guard. Now we can't even plan the concert."

"It's already this time, let's stop talking about the concert. Zhao Xiaomin's safety is more important." Yuan Shasha said on the side.

Mr. Liao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the safety of employees is more important."

"Has Zhao Xiaomin offended anyone recently?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Mr. Liao thought for a moment, shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know about this."

"After all, we have a dedicated team to take care of the company's female anchors."

Turning his head to look at the glasses supervisor, Mr. Liao also reminded: "For example, the business affairs of the girl group launched by our company are all handled by our supervisor. He knows better."

"We have already asked, and what he knows is limited," said Officer Wang.

Mr. Liao frowned and scratched the back of his head. “He is not very clear about it either, so I am even less clear. After all, I usually don’t care about work-related matters. The operations are handed over to the team below.”

"Usually I will only personally arrange the specific details for a large concert like this one."

"Have you offended anyone recently?" Gu Chen asked again.

Mr. Liao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Who can I offend with this?"

"That's not necessarily true." Lu Weiwei stepped forward and said without hesitation:
"From our current analysis, Zhao Xiaomin's kidnapping is by no means that simple. The other party did not make any demands for the kidnapping, which means it was for some interests. At least, they did not ask for money now, which is very abnormal."

"Comrade police, what do you mean?" Mr. Liao asked thoughtfully after hearing this.

Lu Weiwei continued to explain: "Because the kidnappers did not ask for money, this is very telling."

"First of all, Zhao Xiaomin's family conditions are not good, her mother is also in hospital, and the family burden is very heavy."

"If Zhao Xiaomin is kidnapped at this time, her family will definitely not be able to pay the ransom."

"Then this situation can actually be ruled out. Then there is another possibility. The kidnappers kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin because they were targeting you, Mr. Liao."

"Point at me?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Liao suddenly became a little flustered.

Officer Wang at the side also reminded: "We have investigated your MCN agency."

“When the girl group hadn’t become popular yet, you were just an ordinary live broadcast MCN agency.”

"It's just luck that the three anchors of your company became popular, so you struck while the iron was hot and packaged these three anchors as members of a girl group."

"Fortunately, they are in good condition and have good singing and dancing skills, so your company has been able to develop very quickly during this period."

"We can even hold concerts with other stars, which can be quite profitable."

"Uh..." After hearing what Officer Wang said, Mr. Liao also smiled and continued to ask:

"So... so the kidnappers are really coming for me?"

"Yes, it's aimed at you, because if they ruin your girl group concert opportunity, then your event will definitely be ruined, and it will also affect the reputation of the girl group."

"In this case, the girl group launched by your company is likely to fail."

"What should I do? What should I do?" Hearing this, Mr. Liao was obviously a little panicked.

Lu Weiwei reminded him, "Just tell me, have you offended anyone recently?"

"Did you offend anyone? No one?" Facing Lu Weiwei's question, Mr. Liao also put on an innocent face.

Lu Weiwei sighed and continued, "If you don't want the girl group's concert to be ruined and the company's reputation to be damaged, you'd better explain it."

"Otherwise, even gods can't save you."

"This one……"

It seemed that the police had a hold on his lifeline. Mr. Liao was a little nervous, but after thinking it over, he reminded the glasses supervisor: "Go out first and close the door."

"Okay, no problem, Mr. Liao." Hearing the boss's reminder, the smart male supervisor with glasses had guessed that the boss wanted to discuss confidential matters with the police, so he quickly got up and left the room, closing the office door.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the office was a little tense.

Officer Wang also reminded him, "You can speak now."

"In fact, I have offended a lot of people. When I first started the MCN agency, I offended a lot of people. But at that time, I was also a small company, so I didn't care."

"But if I think about it now, I really can't remember it."

"Then just remember the most recent one." Officer Wang also reminded.

Mr. Liao shook his right index finger: "There is one."

"Speak." Yuan Shasha stretched out her hand and said.

Mr. Liao crossed his arms and said awkwardly, "Recently, I arranged for a female anchor from our company to attend a drinking party with a client."

"But I don't know what happened. Everyone got drunk, and in the end the female anchor ended up sleeping on the client's bed."

"This incident was eventually known by the female anchor's boyfriend. He insisted that I had arranged it on purpose. I was really wronged."

"Did you arrange this?" Lu Weiwei asked unhappily when she heard it.

Mr. Liao quickly waved his hands and denied it, saying, "It's definitely not me. You don't know the female anchor in our company. She is a very open person."

"And the client was very generous and often gave her gifts, so they slept together, and the female anchor was willing to do so."
