The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Lin Xin searched for the address of the XX service company, then opened the navigation and said to Leng Yu: "Turn left and drive more than ten kilometers."

"Okay." Leng Yu agreed, and after turning a corner, he drove the car smoothly onto the road.

After about half an hour passed, they drove the car to the door of the XX service company. Leng Yu parked the car, and everyone got out of the car.

They looked up at the company and saw that it was just a small service company that rented a storefront to do business with others.

So, they raised their legs and stepped into the hall and took out the police officer's ID. Leng Yu said to the front desk there: "We are the police officer sent by the Federal Bureau. Let your boss come out. We have something to ask."

"Police officer... I... What the **** did you ask our boss for?" When the front desk saw the police officer of the Federal Bureau suddenly come here, he was a little dumbfounded and asked anxiously.

"There has been a disappearance case in Longshi, and we believe that your company may know some inside information, so we want to ask your boss." Leng Yu said very quickly, while raising his wrist frequently to look at the time, it seemed a little bit impatient.

"No need to ask, I am the manager here, just ask me if you have anything." At this moment, a man's voice said deeply. Leng Yu and the others looked to the left, only to see a burly man with a little dark skin.

Leng Yu glanced at him and saw that this person was refreshed. He didn't mean anything, so he nodded and said, "Very well, we just want to ask if your company performed a magic show in the park two weeks ago. The assigned work?"

"Yes, it was my foreman Zhang Qing who led some employees in the past. What's the matter?" the manager frowned and asked.

"There was a disappearance case in Longshi recently. We have reason to suspect that the missing teenager was taken away by someone from the magic team, so we want to ask if you have been in contact with them." Lin Xin explained.

"You come to the reception room with me first. I call Zhang Qing over. He happens to be in the company right now." The manager nodded, then walked out of the reception room and went to find Zhang Qing.

Just after they waited for a while, two tall men walked in from the reception room, and the manager followed behind them.

When the two saw Leng Yu and Lin Xin, they were slightly startled.

Aren’t these the two women I saw near the park 2 weeks ago? Why do they suddenly appear here?

Are these two police officers?

When Leng Yu raised her head to look at them, she recognized them instantly. She looked at them with cold eyes for a while, and then said: "We are sent by the Federal Bureau. My surname is Leng, her surname is Lin, and the other two are our colleagues." Leng Yu said. , Reached out and pointed to the three people beside her.

Zhang Qing glanced at the people who were sitting across from him, then nodded slightly towards them, and said roughly, "My name is Zhang Qing, the foreman in the XX service company, and this is my deputy next to him. Li Liang, we have nothing to do with this disappearance case, and we haven't had any contact with anyone in the magic group!"

He had already cleared up his relationship with the people in the magic team, and when Leng Yu looked into his eyes, he didn't mean to lie at all.

"Sit down first, we don't have any evidence to accuse you. I just came to you to learn more about something." Lin Xin said softly to them, without any anxiety in her tone.

She immediately won the favor of Zhang Qing and others when she said that. So Zhang Qing nodded, and after wiping the sweat from his forehead, he turned his head and said to Li Liang, "Sit down, too, and see what the police officers want to hear from us."

After he finished talking to Li Liang, he turned his head again and said to Lin Xin and others: "Ask, if we know anything, we will tell you!"

"Have you really never had any contact with anyone in the magic team?" Leng Yu asked, his tone icy.

She believes that they have no contact with anyone in the magic team, but what if it is someone other than the magic team? For example, don’t some of the back-end staff in the Magic team have any contact with them?

"No." Zhang Qing shook his head and said, his words were very firm.

"Well, then I will change my question. Have you had any contact with anyone outside the magic group, for example, with the rest of the staff?" Leng Yu asked, a flash in his eyes. Polished.

"Uh... outside the magic team? Uh... this is true..." Zhang Qing recalled working in the park two weeks ago, and indeed had dealt with the rest of the backstage staff of another group of magic team. Understand.

"Let's talk, what did you all tell them?" Leng Yu said lightly.

Zhang Qing frowned, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said, "I also said those few words. We were all working hard at the time, and only talked to them for a while one night. That day. In the evening, the magic team seemed to send another group of people over to set up the backstage for the back of the stage and did some simple decoration work. Then, one of their people called'Big Brother Peng' sent them dinner. I also sent dinner to us. Because I accepted a box of lunch from others, I got up and wanted to find the man named'Peng Peng' and thank him. However, Peng Peng didn’t know where he went, so I just got up. Talked to a few staff members over there for a while, and asked them to find Brother Peng to thank me for me."

"Then what?" Leng Yu asked.

"Then? Then there is no more. Later, we each returned to our place and ate with our heads down, so we didn't have any socializing with them anymore. Everyone went home after eating and continued to work the next day. After 3 days, everything is done, and even 5 days are not available." Zhang Qing said.

Leng Yu nodded, and then looked at Lin Xin and the others. When they saw the same questions in their eyes at the same time, he whispered to Lin Xin, "Take out the files and see if Peng Dahu is Zhang. Brother Peng, what my husband said."

After hearing this, Lin Xin quickly took out the document, then took out one of the white papers, placed it in front of Zhang Qing and Li Liang, and asked, "Do you know him?"

Zhang Qing sat up straight and slowly looked at the ID photo on the paper, he nodded and said firmly: "Yes, he is Big Brother Peng."

Sure enough, the big brother Peng they saw was this Peng Dahu. It seemed that there was a faint light in the disappearance of Yan Shikai, but this Peng Dahu didn't know if he was involved in this case.

"Okay, we see." Leng Yu said. Then, Lin Xin put away the paper with Peng Dahu's ID card.

Later, Leng Yu looked up at the reception room for a while, turned his head and asked the manager standing aside: "Is the only one of your family that specializes in this kind of stage arrangement in Longshi?"

"Yes, there is only our family at the moment." The manager replied politely.

Leng Yu let out an "um", and his gaze shot at Zhang Qing and Li Liang again, and asked, "How do you know that the staff who are specially arranged for the backstage are sent by the magic team? Is it possible that they are just the magic team? Employees contracted by your service company?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "It's not possible."

"Why?" Leng Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because their working methods are a bit jerky, unlike people who have been in this industry for so many years, they are more like being temporarily called to work in the past, not like employees who have been contracted from outside." Zhang Qing said.

Leng Yu looked at the work uniform he was wearing, then glanced at his rough palms, and then at his skin color. Knowing that this person has not worked in this industry for more than a decade, but also for seven or eight years, he believed him. Professional discrimination ability.

However, she still asked: "So, do the staff sent by the magic group have the same skin color as you?"

At this moment, Zhang Qing's eyebrows moved, and he suddenly said: "Yes, they also have darker complexions like us, and they look like workers who have been working outside the home. But why are they putting up a simple Does it take a lot of effort backstage?"

When Zhang Qing thought of seeing them at work in those few afternoons, seeing that their working methods were more like laymen, he mumbled to himself, and couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

Did you really read it wrong?

"What about you? What do you think?" At this time, Leng Yu threw the question to Li Liang who was sitting next to Zhang Qing.

When Li Liang saw Leng Yu questioning himself, he inevitably felt a little awkward, but he replied truthfully: "My thoughts are the same as that of Brother Zhang. At that time, I also saw their jerky methods at work, it's just me. I didn't take it to heart. Now after I heard Brother Zhang say this, there is indeed such a thing."

"Yeah." Leng Yu nodded.

This seems to have received good information, and this trip is not in vain.

Leng Yu thought like this in his heart.

However, she did not understand a few things.

Since those people are laymen in this industry, why would they be sent by the magic team to do this kind of work?

Then, if they are not familiar with this job, what is the reason for their dark complexion? Could it be that these workers are still exposed to the sun for a long time, just like Zhang Qing and others?

If this is the case, what do they usually do?

"Mr. Zhang, among the colleagues you know, have you ever seen the staff who set up the backstage for the magic team? Are there none?" Leng Yu asked again.

"No, none of them. Even in Yangshi, Beishi, etc., which are so far away from us, we will know our counterparts, but we have never met them or heard of their names. Especially that big brother Peng , I have never seen him before!"

Well, this is really exciting news.

Obviously, these people are indeed specially sent staff from the Magic team.

But where are they now?

Where should Leng Yu and others go to find them?
