An hour later, Ning Tao and Qing chased to the two-dimensional bookstore, the last place Jiang Tingting had visited. It is in a relatively remote location, mainly dealing in books and comics related to the second dimension, as well as anime peripheral products. The decoration is good, but the business is deserted.

"You go in first, and I'll come in later. Ning Tao leaned into Qing Chai's ear and said, "When I came in, you pretended not to know me. ”

Qing Chai said curiously, "Why?"

Ning Tao said: "Jiang Fuquan said that the surveillance here happened to be broken on the day his daughter disappeared, and I vaguely feel that this is a bit too much of a coincidence." We go in and pretend not to know each other to reduce the attention of the people inside, and we each look for clues and come out to talk. ”

Qing Chai nodded, "Okay, is that me going in in or you going in first?"

Ning Tao said: "You go in first, and I'll come in later." ”

Qing chased into the two-dimensional bookstore.

Ning Tao didn't rush in, he stood outside the door and observed the surrounding environment, and it took several minutes before entering. When he entered, Aochai was chatting with a young clerk.

"Miss, you are so beautiful and temperamental, if you come to play cosy, you will definitely be popular, do you want to try it?" The young clerk was very enthusiastic, and his eyes were a little shining.

"Kill ...... What does that mean?" Aochai apparently didn't know what "cosy" meant.

The young clerk patiently explained: "Simply put, it's role-playing, imitating the characters in the anime, you stand still, I'll see who you're most suitable to play......"

Ning Tao didn't continue to listen, he walked in next to Qing Chai and the courteous young clerk. The young clerk didn't even notice him because he was chased by Qing.

There are dozens of bookshelves in the bookstore, full of books, comics, discs, figurines, and the like related to the second dimension, as well as Cosy's costumes and props. However, there are only two small customers reading comic books at a reading table in a large space.

Ning Tao glanced at the corners of the wall, and there were surveillance cameras installed in two corners, and the cameras were on. He pretended to be looking for discs, walked along the shelves, and came to the end of the bookstore. There is a staircase with a red carpet that leads to the second floor.

Ning Tao woke up the smell state of his nose, thousands of smells poured into his nasal cavity, he silently recalled the smell of Jiang Tingting that he had recorded, analyzed and compared them one by one, and looked for the smell that Jiang Tingting might have left here.

A minute later, he found the "familiar" smell, which was the smell that Jiang Tingting left in this bookstore.

This bookstore is a relatively enclosed space, and as long as a person has been here, the smell released by the body will remain for a long time. Ordinary people can't smell this smell at all, but for Ning Tao, it is as easy as it is to find out and pick up things. His nose is more sensitive than a dog's nose in the state of smelling, and the dog can smell the scent of people hundreds of meters away from him in an open environment. One can imagine how strong the smell left by Jiang Tingting, who had been here three days ago, in this relatively closed space.

Jiang Tingting's scent spread throughout the space of the study house, strong in some places and thin in others. According to this situation, a "sidewalk" made of smells appeared in Ning Tao's brain, which pointed in one direction.

Ning Tao followed the direction indicated by the locked scent, and soon came to the end of the bookstore. In front of him was a red-carpeted staircase with a sign reading "Tourists Stop." Jiang Tingting's scent extended up the stairs, and he hesitated for a moment to step over the sign and step on the stairs.

At the front desk of the bookstore, the young clerk was still trying to persuade Qing Chai to join the cosy club, and he didn't notice that Ning Tao went upstairs from the stairs on the surveillance monitor.

Qing Chai saw it, she knew what Ning Tao was doing, and she also cooperated with Ning Tao's actions to divert the attention of the young clerk, "This little brother, can you make money by picking the ribs or something? I have recently died of poverty, and I want to buy a good bag, if I can make money, I want to try." ”

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of the young clerk's mouth, "Of course you can make money, I introduced you to our Mr. Zhang, with your figure and face, I guarantee that our Mr. Zhang will sign a contract with you as soon as he sees you, and then take you to the Comic Con, it is a trivial matter to walk a show for tens of thousands of yuan." ”

"Really, that's great, what's your boss's name?" asked Qing.

The young clerk said, "My boss's name is Zhang Weibiao, and I'll give you a business card of his." The young clerk took out his wallet, took out a business card from it, handed it to Qing Chai, and said, "My name is Zhang Lei, you can come to me at any time as long as you want, by the way, what's your name?"

"My name is ...... Li Xiaohong. Qing Chai casually said a name.

Just when she was talking out the name of this rotten street, Ning Tao had already gone up to the second floor.

The second floor is a space dedicated to cosy, with a lot of quirky costumes and props, as well as mirrors and powder rooms.

Jiang Tingting's scent extended to a prop coffin and ended in the coffin.

The coffin was a replica of a vampire's coffin, made of solid wood, sprayed with black lacquer, leaning against the wall, narrow at the top and narrow at the bottom. The coffin is also engraved with the words "True love is like blood".

Ning Tao approached the vampire's coffin and sniffed the smell in the coffin vigorously. He not only smelled the smell of Jiang Tingting's remaining in the coffin, but also smelled a little bit of anesthetic. The smell was so familiar to a doctor like him that it was easy to recognize.

However, this vampire coffin had obviously been cleaned, and both Jiang Tingting's smell and the smell of the anesthetic were extremely weak, and even he needed to sniff a few times to find out when he was in a state of smelling.

At this point in the "investigation", Ning Tao already has a rough truth in his heart - Jiang Tingting's disappearance is related to this store that operates two-dimensional culture.

Ning Tao walked towards a leather sofa placed in the corner, he sniffed at the sofa and remembered some smells. He then returned the way he came.

Qing Chai was still messing around with the young clerk.

The clerk who claimed to be Zhang Lei said: "Miss Li, you really don't have to worry about anything, our boss is a big man in this circle." He also knows a lot of big directors, as long as you are willing to come, there may not be a chance to become a big star. I don't lie to you, with your appearance and figure, it will only take two or three years for you to become a first-line big name. ”

"Really?" said Qing Chai's innocent expression.

Ning Tao walked past Qing Chai and walked out of the store. This time, Zhang Lei saw him, but he didn't care, his attention was on Qing Chai.

"This is still fake, so let's leave me a phone number and get in touch. Zhang Lei said.

Qing chased his eyes and glanced at Ning Tao, who had already walked out of the store.

Ning Tao didn't look at her, but nodded.

Qing Chai said, "Okay, my phone number is ......"

Leaving the phone, Qing Chai also found an excuse to leave the two-dimensional bookstore. However, she didn't talk to Ning Tao immediately, but walked a long way to get to Ning Tao's side and walk side by side with him.

"Brother Ning, what did you find?" she asked.

Ning Tao said: "A big fish, Jiang Tingting's disappearance is related to the bookstore we just visited. The other party's handling was very clean, and the trace experts of the police could not find the traces, but the smell could not deceive people. ”

Qing Chai spit out his long tongue and then retracted it again, "That guy named Zhang Lei gave me a business card of Mr. Zhang and asked me to pick out the ribs, but I smelled the smell of soul rot from his body, he is a very bad person." ”

"Show me that business card. Ning Tao said.

Qing Chai handed the business card to Ning Tao.

Ning Tao took the business card and glanced at it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Zhang Weibiao, you can fool the police, but you can't fool me." I will settle the debt you owe. ”

"Shall we go to him now?" asked Qing.

Ning Tao said: "No, if you leave the phone, he will definitely call you." You're so beautiful, he won't be impressed. ”

"Giggle......

"What are you laughing at?"

Qing Chai looked very happy, "The first time you praised me for my beauty, I couldn't help but be happy." ”

Jingle bells, jingle bells......

Ning Tao's mobile phone suddenly rang with a ringtone.

It was Bai Jing who called, "Where are you?" Xin Zhiyu sent someone to urge, you come over quickly, let's go to Xin's house for a banquet together." ”

Ning Tao said: "We are on the street, you say an address, we go directly, and then meet there." ”

"Okay, you just call a car, just say Ronghua Mansion, and the driver will know where you are going, and we will see you at the door." Bai Jing hung up the phone.

Qing Chai curled the corners of her mouth, "She didn't say a word to me, really." ”

Ning Tao said: "She's in a hurry, but it's the first time I've seen her like a demon who regards money as more important than her practice." As he spoke, he waved down a taxi.

"Brother Ning, actually...... I ......" Qing Chai seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it.

Ning Tao opened the car door, "Get in the car." ”

He knew that most of what she wanted to say was related to Bai Sheng and Bai Jing, but for some reason he didn't know, she couldn't open her mouth. But he can understand her, everyone has their own secrets and some involuntary situations, she can say it if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to say it, she won't force her. Although he was curious about Bai Sheng's mission, it didn't matter if he didn't know.

After Qing caught up with the car, Ning Tao also got into the car, and then said to the driver: "Master, go to Ronghua Mansion." ”

The driver glanced back at Ning Tao, "Are you sure the place you are going to is Ronghua Mansion?"

Ning Tao said: "I said it very clearly, is there a problem?"

The driver said: "The people who go there are all driving millions of luxury cars, and no one takes a taxi to get there, so I'm a little weird, so I want to ask and confirm." ”

Ning Tao said: "Then let's drive." ”

The driver didn't know what he muttered, so he started the car and drove in one direction.
