Chapter 68 Golden Triangle Club
"Mr. Zhao, the main reason we're here today is to inquire about some things about the Golden Triangle Entertainment Club that you have just taken over." Everything was ready, and Gu Nankai spoke first.
"Golden Triangle Entertainment?" Zhao Zinan looked a little surprised, but he still looked at Gu Nankai politely: "Officer, I have only taken over the Golden Triangle Entertainment Club for half a year. I have been busy with the group's affairs these days and have no chance to go there. What happened?"
Gu Nankai straightened his mind, looked at him and said, "There is a person named Xie Lingling in your club. Do you know this person?"
"Of course I know. Xie Lingling is the most popular girl in the club." Zhao Zinan said quickly, with admiration in his eyes, but soon he realized something and smiled implicitly: "Officer, our club is actually not what you think. We are not engaged in any organized prostitution work, otherwise, this club has been open for so long and would have closed long ago."
Gu Nankai understood the implication of his words. Gu Nankai had always been curious about the operating model of the Golden Triangle Club. If it was really as Wu Na and Zhao Qing said, then it would indeed violate the law to a certain extent. How did Zhao Zinan operate it?
"Officer, how we operate is a secret of our management, but we can guarantee that the operation of our club does not violate the law." Zhao Zinan smiled again and looked at Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan.
"Of course, we don't care about this, Mr. Zhao, Xie Lingling is dead." Gu Nankai quickly replied to Zhao Zinan, but also quickly told Zhao Zinan the news of Xie Lingling's death. He wanted to see how a man like Zhao Zinan would react when he learned of the death of his employee in such a sudden situation.
"What? Xie Lingling? Dead? How is that possible!" Zhao Zinan's reaction was no different from Wu Na and Zhao Qing. Their first reaction was surprise and disbelief. They looked at Gu Nankai and the others with shock in their eyes.
"Officer, wait a minute. I need to digest this information." The shock on Zhao Zinan's face had not yet dissipated, but being able to sit in this position, his tolerance had surpassed most people. He stood up somewhat blankly and looked at Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan apologetically. He held his phone in his hand, pointed at the phone and said apologetically: "I know the police officer won't joke about this kind of thing, but now I still need to confirm this matter."
Gu Nankai nodded silently to show his understanding of his statement. Zhao Zinan quickly smiled and took his phone to go outside to make a call. When he walked out, Gu Nankai quickly looked at Wu Qingluan and said, "What do you think of this person?"
There was something meaningful in Wu Qingluan's eyes: "This is beyond my understanding of ordinary rich kids. He is rigorous and open-minded. Even when he was shocked, he was able to adjust his emotions in time and respond. In a way, he only believes in himself, which can be seen from his behavior of going out to confirm this information."
Gu Nankai nodded in approval and looked around Zhao Zinan's office. The office was very luxurious, but there was no extravagance in the luxury. It was in line with Zhao Zinan's temperament. Everything was very high-end, matching Zhao Zinan's identity. Just like him, Zhao Zinan's office was tidy. Wu Qingluan was also doing the same thing as Gu Nankai. At first, she always had prejudice against such people, but now she found herself slapped in the face.
"This Zhao Zinan is really extraordinary." Wu Qingluan exclaimed.
Gu Nankai chuckled, but his gaze fell on the desk lamp on Zhao Zinan's desk at this moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
At first glance, the lamp matched the style of the room, but Gu Nankai still noticed something different. Just when he wanted to let Wu Qingluan take a look, Zhao Zinan came in after finishing his phone call.
"It's true. I called to confirm. Xie Lingling hasn't been to work for a week." There was a hint of regret on Zhao Zinan's face when he came in. It was regret for Xie Lingling's death and a hint of sympathy. He walked over and sat back in his previous seat and looked at Gu Nankai.
"Officer, how did Xie Lingling die?"
Gu Nankai told Zhao Zinan the cause of Xie Lingling's death. The man listened with a frown on his face. Soon he said, "Someone who had a close relationship with her for a long time? Could he be her murderer?"
Seeing Gu Nankai nod, Zhao Zinan showed a puzzled look on his face: "According to what I just learned, people below said that Xie Lingling rarely interacts with others. The only people who have a good relationship with her are Zhao Qing and Wu Na who brought her into the industry. Our employees don't even know where she lives . People who have been in a long-term relationship with her..."
He muttered, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the police in front of him: "Officer, are you suspicious of our customers?"
Zhao Zinan didn't say the word "financial sponsor", but he believed that the policeman in front of him would understand what he meant. Sure enough, Gu Nankai nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, we came here today to get some information about the customers that Xie Lingling received. We suspect that the murderer is likely hiding among them."
Shock flashed in Zhao Zinan's eyes. He seemed unable to digest this information. His own customer killed his own employee. If this matter were to get out, how would the Golden Triangle Club conduct business in the future?
Gu Nankai seemed to see his concerns, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, our investigation is confidential for the time being and will not affect your work."
Zhao Zinan exhaled lightly and explained with a smile: "Officer, to be honest, I am worried. I have only taken over this club for half a year. My family members are not optimistic about it. It has finally started to improve. If something like this happens and is exposed, I am afraid my family will have a hard time."
Gu Nankai probably understood him. These people seemed to have a good life, but their lives were usually not under their own control. Compared with Zhao's Industrial, Zhao Zinan took over this club probably because he had conflicts with his family.
"We understand and will try our best not to affect your work, but we need detailed information about the financial backers behind Xie Lingling." Gu Nankai has already made concessions. If Zhao Zinan does not cooperate, they will have no choice but to take coercive measures.
"Okay, I can ask someone to send the information over." Zhao Zinan was a little reluctant, but since the police were here he had to cooperate, so he finally made a phone call and made the arrangements.
"These customers are Xie Lingling's regular members. We are usually responsible for accompanying them to cocktail parties or daily social events. We don't know whether they are dating each other after that." Not long after Zhao Zinan made the arrangements, someone delivered the information. He handed the information to Gu Nankai and explained.
Gu Nankai nodded, but did not immediately look at the contents of the file bag. Instead, he asked again, "Mr. Zhao, do your employees use new phone cards to contact each customer?"
Zhao Zinan was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded: "Yes, this is one of our rules, and it is also responsible for every customer, because our employees are also human beings, not just available at any time when customers call. Their phone cards are also activated at a certain time. They use the phone card of the customer who is in line, and this is also to prevent employees from being harassed by others."
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is still a kind of protection for employees. Gu Nankai nodded and asked, "Are these phone cards in the hands of employees or do you have someone to manage them?"
