Chapter 188: After the Apocalypse

The word "Xi", bouquets, red lanterns, these joyful things did not move. The crystal chandeliers in the main hall of the auditorium could rest for a while, as the red curtains were pulled back and the sunlight lit up the room. Now, it's even more lively.

For six tables of guests, the meal took much longer than they expected. They also didn't expect that after the host announced that "the bride's surprise needs to be prepared for a little longer, please taste the delicious food served by a couple of newlyweds first", it was not the bride who stepped on the red carpet to come in, but the police.

After receiving an urgent call from the assistant manager directly from the bridal room on his mobile phone, the resort owner was eager to hit the wall: it was easy to do a decent business, but such a serious situation had arisen, and it would be even more difficult to carry out business in the future. He suspected that the suspect who attacked the cake angel and caused the bride's disappearance was mixed in with the guests, and he was worried that the slightest inadvertent move had stimulated the emotions of the group of "gods", not only that the wedding banquet could turn into a riot today, but also that the reputation and brand of the resort would be difficult to protect after they spread the rumors.

In the short few minutes of rushing from his office to the auditorium, the boss weighed up that it was more important to get the case out first. He came up with a plan: leave all the guests in the main hall with food and drinks, and preferably not let any of them out of the auditorium, and when the police arrived, they would all be left to deal with them.

Listening to the waiters in the corridor muttering, saying that the police station to which these policemen belong has long been rated as a model police station in this district, seeing that the police officers behave in a proper manner and maintain due courtesy towards others, Li Yunqing expected that they were not in vain, and the inner panic caused by the police soldiers suddenly breaking into the front and back doors of the main hall in two routes, and the policemen who entered the back door walked to his side in the blink of an eye. A policewoman had just finished questioning her, left her contact information and told her "you can leave". She looked twice, and some of the passages in the auditorium were blocked by a police cordon, and people had to go around to get out.

There were a total of 12 police officers who came to the resort, and when they came in, the deputy director of the team leader heard that the boss who came to greet him said that he had put all the guests under "house arrest" at the wedding site, and he couldn't laugh or cry. "Old Zhou, have all the waiters here been locked in a small dark room?" he asked mockingly. "No, I don't. The boss pretended to be confused. "Can you pack tickets for them?" "I can't guarantee that. However, Deputy Director Yang, the people in our resort, when they are recruited, the personnel review is very strict. I mean, in terms of probability, the person at the wedding is more likely. ”

Knowing that the newly ordered security monitoring equipment from the resort had not yet arrived, Deputy Director Yang frowned, arranged for four police officers to inspect the entrance and exit of the resort, interrogate the staff in the "village", and led the others straight to the auditorium. They did not alarm the guests who were eating and drinking at first, but with the cooperation of the host and two or three people close to the groom, they quietly searched the corners of the other rooms in the auditorium according to the rules of the public security to confirm that the bride was indeed missing.

Entering the main hall, Deputy Director Yang and his police officers did not so much investigate as to maintain stability. After all, it is impossible for all of these nearly 60 people to be suspects, and there may not even be any of them, not even eyewitnesses, and it is not appropriate to "invite" dozens of men, women, and children back to the office for questioning without real evidence. So, with calm words and relaxed body movements, these guests were stabilized, and Deputy Director Yang called out six of his subordinates and ordered them softly: start the inquiry in this room, each person is responsible for a table, and everyone at the table must ask them about the situation, but do not mention to them what happened to the bride, and move as quickly as possible to avoid giving them the impression that they are going to be detained.

This kind of thing can't be sloppy no matter how quickly it is, and guests need to be called to the police one by one for questioning as if they were queuing up to buy tickets. Li Yunqing walked outside and was shaken by the sun. By this time, more than half of the guests had begun to leave the resort, but they still took the time to talk to the waiters and enthusiastically share them with each other, much more freely than when answering police questions. Everyone learned that something had happened to the bride, so they all expressed their suspicions, not only for the bride, but also for themselves who were more or less involved in it.

Li Yunqing also felt that it was useless to stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time, but she had to wait for Dante. She hadn't seen Dante since he had gone to relieve him. While she was still in the main hall, she searched for the center's round-the-clock volunteer, but she was still nowhere to be seen. Where did he go? It seemed that it was easy to arouse suspicion with her mobile phone in front of the police just now, and there was no such taboo in this time, so she took out her mobile phone to press the text message, thought about it, and dialed his number directly, and after two rings, she got a response of "the number you dialed is on the phone". She became more and more panicked, and unconsciously turned her head, only to see Dante waving his hand and walking quickly towards her.

"Sister Yun, have you finished asking you?" Before she could speak, Dante asked first. She nodded: "Where have you been, and you haven't seen anyone for a long time?" "I'm also being questioned by the police. "But I didn't see you in the wedding hall?" "Oh, I haven't told you yet," Dante said with a slight sense of accomplishment, "the two cake angels who were tied up were the ones I found when I untied them." "What cake angel, isn't it the bride who has an accident?" "I see...... Oh, Sister Yun, here's how it happened......" Dante briefly told Li Yunqing about his experience, and said, "Because I was one of the earliest witnesses, the policeman in the lead called me, the assistant manager, and two waiters to a room alone and asked for a lot of details. ”

He also omitted some details about Li Yunqing. For example, in the empty bridal room, the deputy manager planned to personally ask the boss what to do, and asked him to inform the groom of the bad news, he hurriedly excused himself, while admitting that he had never even seen the bride and groom before today, and persuaded: "Dude, you think, the matter is here, it is not easy for you to get rid of this matter, if your people take the initiative to tell the groom, you can still show a little sincerity." Otherwise, let the guests inform as if you don't know about it, and turn back to the groom's house to be hypocritical with you, aren't you passive?" In another example, while the staff in the auditorium and the men in suits and leather shoes beside the groom were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, he slipped back alone to examine the toilets and the bridal room, and the routes leading from the two locations to the outside.

"Oh my God, it was a happy event...... Alas, it's so miserable!" Li Yunqing sighed, glanced at the time displayed on her phone, and prepared to ask Dante to leave together. Unexpectedly, Dante grabbed ahead of her again and said, "Sister Yun, are you familiar with the bride and groom?" "I met several times when the groom came to the center, and they said hello to each other. Li Yunqing didn't understand why he was asking this, "What's wrong?" "Just like you said, happiness has turned into disaster, it's too miserable, the groom must be very sad at this time." Dante seemed to sympathize with the groom, "I think that in the past, the two of them were in trouble, and the center has been trying to help them, and now that such an accident has happened, we might as well comfort him on behalf of the center." ”

Li Yunqing was a little surprised by Dante's suggestion, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable and humane, anyway, there was nothing that could be done in a hurry today. "Where's the bridegroom?" she asked. "It should still be in the auditorium. "Then let's go check it out. ”

Dante omitted another detail about Sister Yun: when the assistant manager whispered the news of the bride's disappearance outside the front door of the main hall, he himself hid behind a wall and peeked, and the groom's reaction was more than "very sad".
