If the police came to clean up the place, they might not think much of it, but if the police came to catch a fugitive, it was a completely different concept.
The manager of the Silver Palace came quickly. Zhang Zhitong and several colleagues were led to a corner of the luxurious hall.
A man with a short stature and shifty eyes was brought over by the hostess.
"You're the manager here?" A colleague behind Zhang Zhitong stood up and asked: "Can you give me a list of the current guests?"
"My name is Cao Weihua, I'm the general manager here." Cao Weihua opened a pack of Yellow Crane 1916 cigarettes and warmly gave them to the police.
After giving them the cigarettes, Cao Weihua said with some difficulty: "This is a membership based place. The people who can come here are all big shots in Zhongyun. If I give them a list, I'm afraid the bosses of the Silver Palace will come after me."
"I understand your feelings, but please cooperate with our work." The police gestured for everyone to sit on the sofa: "The Silver Palace is a membership based place, but if a suspect sneaked in here, wouldn't this ruin the reputation of the Silver Palace?"
"Yes, yes ~ Assisting the police is the duty of us law-abiding citizens." Cao Weihua smiled apologetically: "I'll ask our boss."
The call was quickly connected. After explaining the situation, Cao Weihua said to the police: "I can give you the list, but our boss said that if you find a suspect, please keep it a secret."
"Okay, we'll keep it a secret for you." Sitting in the center, Zhang Zhitong nodded like a big sister.
The cashier at the front desk quickly printed out a list of the current guests. But the police searched for a long time and couldn't find the information they wanted.
Just as the manager said, those who could come to the Silver Palace weren't normal people. Many of the guests on the guest list were local entrepreneurs that they were familiar with.
Of course, public officials wouldn't appear on this list. Even if they came, they were invited. There was no reason for them to spend their own money here.
"You guys pull up tonight's surveillance." A police officer said sternly.
"I can't …" Cao Weihua carefully explained: "The surveillance room can only monitor the public area in real time. The backup of the video is stored in an encrypted server. Without the boss's secret key, we can't open it."
"After all … there are often people of high status coming in and out of our club. If the surveillance footage can be accessed casually, wouldn't it make these people unhappy? "
"Contact your boss and ask him to come over. We have to check the surveillance footage. We need to investigate the suspect's network." Zhang Zhitong gestured for Cao Weihua to make the call first. "The person we are looking for is not on the list. They may have used an alias."
Cao Weihua was busy making calls. Zhang Zhitong turned her gaze to the ushers. "Is there a middle-aged man who brought in two young men today?"
"The middle-aged man looks very stylish. The two middle-aged men are about 1.8 meters tall. Their bodies are very standard and they look very energetic."
"Yes!" The two hostesses next to him immediately reported the situation, "Mr. Rong brought two people here at eight o 'clock, which is very consistent with the situation you said."
"Which Mr. Rong?"
"There's a big boss in the park. His name is Rong Wei. I can't remember which factory he works for. Only a few bosses have backups of the detailed list of members."
Cao Weihua recalled, "But he doesn't look like a bad guy. He's been here several times this year."
"Think carefully again. Is there anyone else who fits the description?"
A police officer stubbed out his cigarette, his gaze never leaving the elevator. "Our clues are not wrong. These three people are definitely in your club."
"We'll give you face and won't conduct a large-scale room by room inspection. But if you get the wrong person and let us catch the wrong person, we'll seal the entrance and exit of the club and conduct a large-scale inspection. "
Cao Weihua suddenly broke out in cold sweat. These people wanted to conduct a large-scale inspection of the club. Then the Silver Palace would have no business in the future. It would be far worse if they just changed to a KTV.
Of course, the possibility of them conducting a large-scale inspection was very small. With the pressure of a few big bosses, the Silver Palace had never been raided by the police in all these years.
It was just that Cao Weihua used to deal with fire and security. The only thing he had never interacted with was the criminal investigation. He wasn't familiar with their style of handling cases. What if they really didn't give face to anyone and conducted a large-scale inspection of the rooms in order to catch criminals?
"Wait a moment. I'll call Foreman Xue. She's the one who's taking care of Mr. Rong tonight." Cao Weihua immediately used his headset to call the internal channel and told Foreman Xue to come downstairs immediately.
Wearing a Chanel business suit and gold-rimmed glasses, Foreman Xue quickly walked over in her high heels.
The police officers were finally willing to look away from the door and the elevator.
"How could it be Mr. Rong? He's been a member for many years." Foreman Xue's every frown and smile was very charming. "Mr. Rong's chemical factory makes tens of millions a year. Why would he commit crimes? "
"Oh right, when we sent Mr. Rong to the elevator, we met three people. They didn't seem to like Mr. Rong. They kept staring at Mr. Rong as soon as they got out of the elevator."
The police officers stood up, their eyes flashing with dignity. "You're saying that Mr. Rong opened a chemical factory?"
"Ah ~ could it really be him?" Foreman Xue was shocked and said in horror. "But when we got on the elevator, we also met three people. Could it be them?"
The police officers immediately surrounded Zhang Zhitong and quietly analyzed this clue.
Now there were two groups of people who fit the description, and the most important thing was that they probably knew each other.
What they wanted to catch was a group of illegal fanatics who dared to resell the highly dangerous trichloro-, methane-trichloro- and methane-precursor chemicals that were heavily supervised by the public security.
Trichloro-, and methane-containing chemicals were originally commonly used in medical anesthetics. In recent years, because of their high toxicity and obvious side effects, they were gradually replaced by other chemicals.
But because of these shortcomings, they became popular in the hands of criminals.
According to the cable report, this group of people would choose to meet with a chemical factory owner in Zhongyun at 9: 00 PM tonight in the Silver Palace to discuss buying and selling trichloro-, and methane-containing chemicals in large quantities.
The two groups of people fit the description, and they had eye contact in the elevator …
After asking a few service staff, the whereabouts of the three groups of people who met Rong Wei in the elevator were quickly found out.
They seemed to have been here since yesterday, and the foreman in charge of receiving them was on break today. They called the foreman and found out that it was a very unfamiliar member. After opening the lounge at 3: 00 AM yesterday, there was no news from them.
They should have just left the lounge, and after they got out of the elevator, they didn't go out the door.
Instead, they went to the western dining area, and were sitting at the table at the entrance, enjoying the piano while enjoying the meal.
According to the analysis of the clues, the two groups of people should have just met. After dinner, they should go upstairs to discuss the details.
Then it would be better to wait for them to negotiate the contract, make the money transaction, and then catch them red-handed.
The seven police officers were divided into two groups. Zhang Zhitong brought three colleagues and waited in the room opposite Rong Wei. The other four were waiting at the exit of the western dining area, monitoring the movement through the staff passageway.
The identities of the three people in the western dining area had been confirmed, and they were the targets they wanted to catch.
Rong Wei was the biggest suspect. As long as the three finished dinner and met up with Rong Wei, they would be able to catch the turtle in the jar.
"Attention attention, the three suspects have already stood up." After waiting for less than two minutes, Zhang Zhitong received a report from her colleagues downstairs.
"Not good, they are leaving, and they are heading towards the door." Her colleagues downstairs suddenly said anxiously.
"Let's catch them together." Zhang Zhitong shouted.
