Everyone felt unlucky to encounter this kind of thing, but now when Gu Chen asked, it seemed difficult to answer.

"What? Has no one met her before?" Gu Chen saw that the two of them were silent, so he took the initiative to name the female cashier and said:

"Did you meet your boss last night?"

"Uh...this..."

"Yes or no?" Gu Chen didn't want to beat around the bush with these two people.

Logically speaking, these two people have worked with his boss Zhang Zhiqiang for several years and are in charge of the finance of Zhang Zhiqiang's company, so they must be his confidants.

If even the confidants didn't know the whereabouts of the boss, it would be somewhat unjustifiable. Of course, Gu Chen wouldn't believe everything they said.

The female cashier seemed very embarrassed and said slowly: "Last night, I...I did meet the boss."

"Where have you seen it?" Lu Weiwei quickly asked after hearing what the female cashier said.

"It's...it's at the Lido Hotel." The female cashier said very quietly.

"Lido Hotel?" Officer Wang was thoughtful when he heard this, so he quickly said: "Eh? No, Lido Hotel is quite far away from here."

"Since you work and live in this hotel, how come you and Zhang Zhiqiang show up at the Lido Hotel?"

Officer Wang's words seemed to make it difficult for the female cashier to answer.

When Yuan Shasha saw this, she quickly urged: "What? Is it inconvenient to answer?"

"Uh, it's nothing?" Taking a deep breath, the female cashier also said slowly:

"The boss was meeting with clients there, but he didn't bring a very important document with him."

"So, he asked me to send the documents over."

"Send the documents to the Lido Hotel?" Lu Weiwei crossed her arms, thoughtfully:

"What happened next? What time did you arrive?"

"Probably... around 7pm," the female cashier said.

"Around 7 o'clock?" Lu Weiwei frowned and asked the female cashier: "Then what time do you usually settle wages for the workers?"

"It's around 9pm these days because I have to work overtime." The female cashier here didn't say anything, but the male accountant on the side said quickly.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently and responded: "Okay, but now I'm asking the female cashier, can you wait for the answer first?"

"Well……"

He was also scolded by Lu Weiwei, and the male accountant looked very embarrassed.

Of course, Lu Weiwei is not targeting male accountants, because the current female cashier seems to be the last person to see the boss.

Then, she will become a key witness.

Moreover, both Gu Chen and himself, Comrade Lao Wang and Yuan Shasha could also see that the female cashier seemed to be extremely nervous while answering the questions.

Therefore, Lu Weiwei just wanted to put some pressure on the female cashier and ask her to honestly explain the details of yesterday.

Here too, when I saw a male colleague being criticized, the female cashier felt a little bit in her heart and said slowly:

"As my colleague said just now, we settle the wages of these workers for the day around 9 p.m. these days."

"That is to say, when you met the boss Zhang Zhiqiang, it was around 7 o'clock, right?" Lu Weiwei continued to confirm.

The female cashier nodded silently: "Absolutely."

"What happened after that?" Officer Wang also continued to ask: "After you sent the documents, where did you go after that?"

"I...I didn't have dinner, so, I wanted to settle it near the hotel."

"In other words, you didn't leave the Lido Hotel?" Officer Wang asked.

"Well, I ate some of the buffet at the hotel restaurant, and then I didn't leave until about 7:40."

"Okay, have you never seen your boss again since then?" Officer Wang asked again.

"I haven't seen him since... because I wanted to go back quickly to deal with work matters, so I went back by myself."

"Weird." As soon as the female cashier finished speaking, Gu Chen questioned:

"You settle cash for workers every day. Logically speaking, this cash is a large sum of money. Who is usually responsible for bringing the cash to the site?"

"Usually it's me and my colleagues." The female cashier looked at the male accountant.

At this moment, the male accountant also nodded silently and echoed: "Yes, every time the boss prepares the cash in advance, and then asks me to go to the room with her to get it."

"Is it the cash that was withdrawn on the same day?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Yes." The female cashier nodded silently.

"Then why not directly transfer it to the accounts of these workers?" Yuan Shasha asked again.

"Because...because." After hesitating for a few seconds, the female cashier glanced at the male accountant and then said:

"Because it is the boss's intention to pay these workers daily wages in cash."

"The boss also knows that it will be difficult to access the accounts of these workers."

"Moreover, we are only temporary workers recruited. We must pay cash every day before others are willing to do it."

"Moreover, giving cash allows these workers to see the money they earn that day, which will give them more motivation to work."

"So the boss usually insists on going to the bank to withdraw cash every day, and then when the time comes, he asks me to go with my colleagues to his room to collect the cash."

"That means you always keep cash in the room, right?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Yes." The female cashier glanced at the male accountant, and the two of them nodded in agreement.

"Then you didn't find the boss yesterday, did you go to his room?" Gu Chen asked again.

"No." They both shook their heads in denial.

The female cashier also quickly explained: "Because the boss is not here, and we don't have the key card for the boss's room, and we don't know if the boss has brought cash and put it in the room."

"So, when we couldn't contact the boss last night, we could only tell these workers that the boss might have something to do temporarily and asked them to come and collect it together today."

"But you guys are acting like rascals here again today." Before the female cashier could finish her words, the fat middle-aged man became angry.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly reminded you: "I can understand your mood, but can you keep quiet for now?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, comrade policeman." Seeing Gu Chen's reminder, the middle-aged fat man quickly explained:

"I was a little impulsive. The main reason is that those of us who have been doing manual labor on construction sites all year round hate the most those who owe us wages."

"I was often cheated by people back then, and things have gotten better these years. But now we are doing short-term daily wage work, and this kind of situation also happens, which makes us a little angry."

"I can understand." Gu Chen patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, then looked at the female cashier and asked:

"Then last night, when you went to the Lido Hotel to deliver documents to the boss Zhang Zhiqiang, did you see anyone around him?"

"Well……"

"Tell the truth." Seeing that the female cashier always spoke hesitantly and with hesitation, Gu Chen reminded her.

The female cashier blushed and said slowly: "I saw a woman."

"A woman?" Lu Weiwei frowned, and quickly asked: "What woman? Who is this woman? Do you know her?"

"Uh, I know... I know her. I've met her a few times."

"Then who is she? A client of your boss Zhang Zhiqiang?" Gu Chen asked.

"Can you tell me this?" She felt that she was not very good at answering, and the female cashier was also hesitant.

But before Gu Chen could say anything, the anxious Officer Wang on the side quickly urged:

"The most important thing now is to find your boss Zhang Zhiqiang and quickly secure the daily wages for these workers. Is there anything bad to say?"

"Okay... okay." Seeing Officer Wang speaking fiercely, the female cashier also took a deep breath and quickly replied:

"Actually, I'm not sure about that woman. I just saw her in the boss's car a few times, acting very intimately."

"Very close?" Hearing what the female cashier said, Lu Weiwei raised her eyebrows and quickly asked, "How close is it?"

"It's just...it's just that two people will be entangled together, you know, that's the kind of thing."

"Okay." Having heard what the female cashier meant, Lu Weiwei also said straightforwardly: "She's his sweetheart, right?"

"Yes." Seeing that Lu Weiwei said it so clearly, the female cashier also nodded slowly and said quickly:

"This is all my wild guess. I only said this because you asked me."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Weiwei sighed lightly and quickly asked:

"Then let me ask you, is your boss married?"

"We are married and our children are already in junior high school," the female cashier said.

"That means that there is an improper relationship between this woman and your boss?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Hmm." The female cashier found this question difficult to answer.

But now that the police are handling the case, I am caught in the middle and it seems that I can't lie.

What should I say?
