He Zhichu's face twitched as he clicked "play" again, and the video continued to play.
They all saw Gu Nianzhi's body stiffen for a moment, then fall straight back. The man and woman quickly stepped forward and held her arms, almost carrying her back.
Gu Nianzhi was no longer in the video, and the person's video began to change to the beautiful scenery of the Königssee.
The scene just now happened to be in between the two scenes, so it was recorded by the person. Also, because they weren't allowed to edit, that part of the video was retained.
If they didn't know that something had happened to Gu Nianzhi, anyone who saw the scene would think it was a reunion of old friends.
He Zhichu suppressed his restlessness and praised the staff member. "Good job, continue. Let's see if anyone else recorded the rest of the video. "
The other staff members were encouraged by the fact that they could really find clues this way, and they watched the videos even more seriously.
By ten o 'clock the next morning, they had already screened out three videos that happened to show the entire process of Gu Nianzhi being taken away.
The first video showed Gu Nianzhi being drugged, knocked out, and taken away.
The second video showed the three of them walking towards two cars parked under the shade of a nearby tree.
The third video not only showed the man taking Gu Nianzhi to the car in front, and the woman getting into the car behind, but it also showed Seth's disgusting pig face peeking out of the car in front. It also showed the license plates of both cars!
Nianzhi was really taken away by that b * tch Seth!
He Zhichu was filled with rage. He kicked the armchair he had been sitting on, causing it to flip over.
He was still angry, so he walked into the room and took out his pistol. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! He fired repeatedly, shattering all the coffee cups on the coffee table.
Porcelain pieces flew everywhere, and dark brown coffee spilled all over the table and onto the floor, staining the snow-white carpet with coffee stains.
The people working in the outer room didn't even dare to breathe. They knew the boss was furious …
He Zhichu threw a tantrum, and when he came out, everyone pretended not to see his slightly swollen peach blossom eyes.
"Ok, no need to watch the video anymore. Get someone to check those two license plates. " He Zhichu secretly clenched his fists and swore to hack Seth into pieces. Even if he hadn't done anything to Gu Nianzhi, He Zhichu wouldn't let him off!
If he did something to Nianzhi …
Thinking about Li Haiqing, the female exchange student who had been tortured to death by Seth, He Zhichu felt intense fear for the first time in his life.
He was afraid. He was truly afraid. However, what he was most afraid of was that Nianzhi would no longer be in this world …
It didn't matter if she was humiliated. In his heart, she would always be his Nianzhi. He wasn't the kind of man who wished for nothing more than for women to die when they were humiliated.
But the humiliation she had suffered, he would personally return it to her.
Under He Zhichu's orders, the search began in an orderly manner.
With the license plate number, it was easy to find the owner.
He didn't expect the other party to be so vigilant.
"Mr. He, these two license plates have long been abandoned. They belong to a British company, but that company was originally a shell company with only one person. Seven years ago, the boss suddenly passed away and declared bankruptcy. There are no clues left."
He Zhichu sneered when he saw the information they had found.
Brilliant. It was truly brilliant. Even he had to admire it.
"A car with an abandoned license plate can actually drive so well in Germany." He Zhichu pointed at the information they had sent. "Continue the search. If you find these two cars, I will reward you handsomely."
Therefore, at noon that day, Germany's Munich TV station and all social media in Germany were pushing the news that someone was offering a large reward for information about the two cars. As long as there was a clue, 1,000 euros would be offered. If the two cars were directly found, 100,000 euros would be offered!
As soon as the reward was announced, everyone in the Munich area stopped working. Everyone widened their eyes and stared at the cars beside them, wishing they could see flowers blooming from their eyes.
…
As He Zhichu made his moves step by step, Smith and the others didn't stay idle.
Within two days, they had hired the best detective agency in Germany to investigate all the information on the driver of their business car for the past month, including what he had done, who he had met, and even how many times he had slept with his wife and had affairs with his lover. It was all recorded. They even found his bank account!
"There's really something wrong with this driver!" Smith looked at all the information the detective agency had sent and slammed the table in anger.
The other three lawyers gathered around. "What's wrong? You found everything? "
"Look, 15 days ago, his bank account suddenly had 100,000 euros!"
The money was neither too much nor too little. It was exactly the driver's annual salary for two years.
It wasn't too much, but it was definitely not little either.
"This 100,000 euros was transferred from a Swiss bank account." A lawyer who was more proficient in financial crimes looked at the information and said thoughtfully, "This is going to be difficult to investigate."
Swiss banks were famous for being tight-lipped. People from all over the world deposited shady money with them, and they relied on this to make money.
"Who cares which bank it came from? Anyway, this driver accepted such a shady sum of money, so there's something wrong!"
"Also, look at these phone records. Twelve days ago, the day before Lawyer Gu's accident, a number called him many times, and he even drove to the Königssee several times before that day!"
The four lawyers discovered these suspicious points and felt that they could apply to the police to arrest the driver.
But judging from Lawyer He's intentions, he didn't want everyone to know, so a lot of things were done in private. Even finding people was done by his personal subordinates.
So even if the driver was in the wrong, they couldn't really call the police to arrest him.
They had a headache.
"Let's go ask Lawyer He first." Smith picked up the evidence provided by the detective agency and went to He Zhichu's room to ring the doorbell.
He Zhichu's personal assistant opened the door and glanced at them. "What's the matter? Mr. He is very busy. "
Smith cleared his throat. "We found some clues and want to report to Lawyer He."
He Zhichu heard it from inside the room and said directly, "Let them in."
The personal assistant quickly moved to the side and watched Smith and the other three people enter.
He Zhichu took them to the small study next door to sit down and asked, "What did you find?"
Smith told him about the abnormalities in the driver's bank account and the fact that he had gone to the Königssee the day before.
He Zhichu secretly clenched his fists and sneered. "He betrayed his employer for only 100,000 Euros. How short-sighted."
Rubbing his temples, He Zhichu said to Smith and the others, "Ok, you don't have to worry about this. Leave it to me. I'll leave the matters of the law firm to you guys. I don't have time to worry about it. "
"Yes." Smith and the others quickly nodded and didn't want to cause He Zhichu any more trouble.
Although they were also very worried about Gu Nianzhi's safety, they knew that they couldn't help much at this point. They could only help He Zhichu by not causing him trouble.
Smith and the other three lawyers walked out of He Zhichu's room stiffly and looked at each other without saying anything.
"How about a drink?" Smith suggested. "Let's go to my room. I bought some red wine a few days ago and haven't finished it yet."
"Ok." The other three lawyers were also very depressed and needed to drink to drown their sorrows.
The four of them all knew that He Zhichu's next move would most likely not be honorable. It was likely that he would play around the edges of the law.
Without a certain level of backing, this kind of play would be very risky.
He Zhichu telling them to stay away was for their own good.
Anyway, they already knew the power and power He Zhichu displayed. It wasn't something they could compare to or imagine.
"I hope Lawyer Gu can come back safely." Smith raised his glass to the sky outside the window.
"I hope Seth can be arrested and brought to justice soon." Another lawyer also prayed to the sky.
One case hadn't even ended and another had started. Although they were anxious, there was nothing they could do.
They could only hope that He Zhichu could win with a surprise attack.
…
Just as they expected, He Zhichu didn't plan on using legal means to deal with the driver.
He didn't have the time.
Once he went through legal procedures, he didn't know how long it would take. He couldn't wait, and Gu Nianzhi couldn't wait either.
He Zhichu looked at the information Smith and the others had submitted and immediately ordered the driver to be taken to the Königssee near Munich.
It was already evening when they arrived at the Königssee.
The sun was about to set, and the surface of the lake shimmered. The weeping willows by the shore were still there, and there were few tourists. Most of them had already gone home.
Several black Hummer SUVs sped over and stopped by the Königssee.
The driver's heart had been pounding ever since he was taken away from his home.
When faced with Smith and the other four's questions, he was able to respond calmly. Even if he said something wrong, he was able to cover it up.
But now, faced with the murderous men who looked like mercenaries, looking at their strong muscles and cold demeanor, he found his legs were so weak he couldn't stand up.
He Zhichu wore a pair of sunglasses of an unknown brand and stood under the willow tree by the Königssee. Half of him was in the light and the other half was in the dark, and his light-colored casual wear made his figure stand out even more.
His thin lips were slightly pursed, and the setting sun shone on his face, casting a shadow on his straight and handsome nose. It was just like his entire person, half in the light and half in the dark.
"Clear the area." He Zhichu waved his hand and gave the order without looking back.
Soon, the people he brought with him persuaded the remaining two or three tourists to leave. "The police are handling a case. Please leave the scene."
They took the documents the police gave them and the court's permit to seal off the entire Königssee scenic area.
Soon, all the tourists left, and the sky darkened. Only He Zhichu's people and the driver were left near the Königssee.
"Tell me, what's going on? Who told you to contact me? Who told you to bring Lawyer Gu to this position? "
He Zhichu's voice was cold and emotionless, but the tone of his voice was more terrifying than a loud roar.
Although the driver was much fatter and stronger than He Zhichu, he was short, so He Zhichu's imposing manner was overshadowed.
He trembled and said in a hoarse voice, "… No … No one contacted me …"
"No one?" He Zhichu turned around. "Make him speak the truth."
He stood facing the Königssee. Behind him, a bodyguard walked over with an expressionless face. He grabbed the driver's neck and twisted him to the edge of the Königssee. He kicked the driver's knee and made him kneel down.
Then the bodyguard knelt on one knee next to him and suddenly pressed down hard with his arm, pressing the driver's head into the cold lake water.
The driver was caught off guard, and his face was soaked in the lake water.
The water poured in through his nose, choking his windpipe and flowing into his lungs from his windpipe, immediately causing a burning pain.
He instinctively struggled and waved his hands in an attempt to break free from the bodyguard's grip, but how could a fat taxi driver like him resist the strength of a Special Forces soldier?
His head was lifted out of the water, and before he could catch his breath, he was pressed back into the water again.
After only two presses, he broke down and yelled, "I'll talk! I'll talk! "
He Zhichu raised his hand.
The bodyguard lifted the driver's head out of the lake water and dragged it to He Zhichu.
The driver, who was choking to death from the lake water, lay on the ground and coughed for a long time before saying in a trembling voice, "… Someone called me and asked me to bring Lawyer Gu to the willow tree on the Königssee to wait for someone. He said he was Lawyer Gu's friend and wanted to give her a little surprise! "
"Why would he give you 100,000 euros to surprise someone? Do you think we're stupid? "He Zhichu folded his hands behind his back and didn't even look at the driver at his feet." Keep pressing! "
The driver was shocked. He didn't think Lawyer He would even know someone was giving him money. It looked like these things couldn't be hidden from him.
The bodyguard walked over and grabbed the driver's neck to press him into the water again. The driver yelled, "Don't drown me again! I'll talk! This money was given to me by Seth's father, York! He asked me to help him find out what the lawyers would discuss! "
He Zhichu was a bit surprised.
The money was actually given to him by Seth's father, York, and not the people who took Nianzhi away?
If it was to find out the lawyer's trial strategy, it would make sense. Sometimes a conversation between lawyers in the car was enough for the other party to analyze for a long time.
For such important information to only give him 100,000 euros, York and his men were the ones who got the better end of the deal.
He Zhichu walked over and looked down at the driver. "But you came to the Königssee several times before. What were you doing?"
"When that person called me, he told me a lot about Lawyer Gu. It sounded like he was her friend and asked me to recommend a place that needed to be quiet and hidden. There weren't many tourists and it had to be close to the road into the mountains. I came to see it a few times. " The driver lied on the ground and mumbled the truth. He was really afraid of being thrown into the lake by these people and choking.
"So you provided the route and location and tricked Lawyer Gu to come here, right?" He Zhichu stepped on the driver's left cheek. "Speak."
The driver's fat face was almost deformed from being stepped on. He stuttered, "I … I didn't know they wanted to harm Lawyer Gu. I thought it was her friend. The Königssee is full of people. How could something happen? Lawyer Gu also asked me to bring her to the Königssee to see a friend … "
He really didn't know what these people were going to do. The 100,000 dollars was to buy information from these lawyers, which was a very fair price. He didn't expect it to be to buy Lawyer Gu's life!
"Lawyer Gu told you to see a friend?" He Zhichu was surprised again. He thought Gu Nianzhi was purely tricked by the driver.
Now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Or was there more than one group of people who tricked her?
He Zhichu's heart tightened. He asked sternly, "Who did Lawyer Gu want to see? If you dare lie, I'll make sure you don't see tomorrow's sun! "
The driver was terrified and burst into tears. "It's true! Mr. He! I don't know who it was, but Lawyer Gu really said she came to see a friend! And she was very happy. She kept laughing in the car, Mr. He! I didn't lie! I really didn't lie! "
He Zhichu withdrew his foot from the driver's face and rubbed it on the grass in disgust. He turned around and said, "Put a lie detector on him and ask the question again."
His personal assistant brought him a portable chair and placed it under the big tree by the lake.
The bodyguards set up all kinds of electronic equipment to monitor the area within a five-mile radius.
The driver was taken to the other side for a lie detector test.
The lie detector was carried with him to see if the driver was telling the truth.
As time passed, He Zhichu's heart burned with anxiety. His expression grew colder and colder.
The sky had completely darkened. A cool breeze blew across the surface of the lake, carrying with it a heavy dampness that assaulted one's face.
He Zhichu closed his eyes and supported his head with one hand as he leaned against the armrest of the portable chair.
Five minutes later, his assistant came down and said, "Mr. He, the lie detector test passed. What he said at the end was the truth."
He Zhichu opened his eyes. His shimmering almond-shaped eyes sparkled. He stood up from the portable chair and walked around.
He looked at the Königssee, then at the Alps not far away. He thought about what the driver had said.
Why did the other party ask the driver to find a place closer to the road into the mountains?
Did they take Nianzhi to the Alps?!
The thought made He Zhichu's heart sink.
If it was in the Alps, the Alps that ran through almost all of Europe, how could he find her as soon as possible?!
He looked up at the night sky. The moon was bright and the stars twinkled …
The stars twinkled …
The stars …
He Zhichu's heart skipped a beat. He remembered what Smith and the others had said. Since two days ago, when he called Gu Nianzhi's phone, it was "out of service."
Was her phone turned off or thrown away?
If it was turned off, it would be fine.
He had a way to find Gu Nianzhi's location through her phone.
But if it was thrown away, so what if he found her phone?
At most, it could prove that she had appeared somewhere. It was even possible that the other party had deliberately thrown it away, tampered with it, or set up a trap.
What should he do?
