Chapter 35: The Mysterious Disappearance of a Celebrity
The entrance to a luxurious five-star hotel has been blocked by reporters.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't Ruohe work? β
As soon as Luo Changxing got out of the car, he rushed into the place where the incident occurred.
"Captain, the person who disappeared this time should be a celebrity in Jiakang City, who has a certain reputation. There are already multiple media outlets outside the door. What to do? β
Xiao Dong said while holding his mobile phone and looking at the real-time feedback.
"Get rid of them all! Let the police take care of this. β
Luo Changxing walked into a high-end private club in the hotel in a hurry.
"Who is the informant?"
Luo Changxing looked at several ladies in gorgeous cheongsams in front of him and asked.
"I am." At this time, a woman wearing a yellow cheongsam raised her hand delicately and whispered.
"What's going on, let's talk about it carefully."
Luo Changxing put his hands in his pockets, moved a chair, and sat down near several beauties.
"Mr. Policeman, here's the thing.
Just two hours ago, Liu Yanyan, the one who disappeared,
Also have afternoon tea with us in the clubhouse.
Then, just a little bit when we came back from the bathroom, she was gone. β
The tear stains on the yellow cheongsam woman's face had already covered her makeup, obviously frightened by what had happened earlier.
"Why did you leave her alone?"
Luo Changxing felt that something was a little strange, so he asked.
"Thisβ" The woman looked at her friends sitting on the side, shook her head awkwardly, and continued. Now it's her turn to take pictures. β
"What do you mean?"
Luo Changxing leaned forward, as if he had caught something.
"That's right, we're a sister. Come here together... Fight the group. Now it's just right... It's time for her to take pictures. β
The woman in the yellow cheongsam whimpered quietly.
"What?" Luo Changxing turned his head to look at the young people behind him, wanting to ask for their opinions.
"Boss, it is estimated that he is a member of the Huizhou Celebrity Group. This topic has been quite hot lately. β
Xiao Dong is still young and knows a lot.
"What do you mean?"
Luo Changxing's face was dazed.
"Anyway, it's just a group of celebrities who put together a group in order to spend less money, and then take photos and retouch them and post them to Moments. It shouldn't have much to do with this case. β
Xiao Dong continued.
"Oh, then you go on."
Immediately, Luo Changxing once again turned the finger at these cheongsam women.
"We didn't really know what was going on, so we were out for about 10 minutes. When she returned, she was gone. β
"You called the police just after you disappeared?"
"No, Mr. Policeman, she's gone, she's really gone.
We're all terrified, and recently several people in our circle of friends have disappeared like this.
Without a word, without anything with him, he suddenly disappeared.
Look at Mr. Policeman, Liu Yanyan's things, bags, mobile phones, and wallets are still here. β
"Huh? How many more? β
"That's right, Mr. Policeman, they can all testify."
As soon as the woman in the yellow cheongsam finished speaking, the others also nodded desperately.
"Manager, is the surveillance video there?"
Luo Changxing listened, showed a contemplative expression, and then asked.
"It's all here, it's all here, and you're welcome to read it at any time."
A burly manager on duty in a black dress replied immediately.
"Xiao Ga, you can ask these girls for some details, including the other missing. Xiaodong, you and I will go to monitor and take a look. β
After Luo Changxing finished speaking, he suddenly found that there was a Li Dai standing on the side, and hurriedly said. "Xiao Dai, you can come along."
Walking into the monitoring room, all the video materials of the entire club, including the hotel, were neatly stacked on the monitoring table, waiting to be consulted.
"Mr. Policeman, this is the video of the seating area of the young ladies just now."
The manager immediately ordered the security guard to release the footage.
It's basically the same as the yellow cheongsam woman retelling.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the four cheongsam beauties entered the club together, then ordered a set of afternoon tea, and began to take pictures.
"Okay, Liu Yanyan is the only one left."
Xiao Dong muttered to himself on the side.
Li Dai also watched attentively.
Over the years, I have watched a lot of detective criminal investigation films, and I have never experienced it so personally.
"Hehe, at this time, the urine sex of general TV dramas, the monitoring should be broken."
Li Dai thought silently in his heart, and still had a righteous expression on his face.
"Zizizi~" The video suddenly flashed snowflakes, and then the video was not unexpected.
Broken!
"What's going on?"
Luo Changxing shouted at the manager on duty.
"I don't know, it's been left here all along. Did anything happen to Damin? β
The hall manager also looked confused, and then asked the security guard.
"No, I haven't touched it, I've been waiting for you here since I took it out."
The security guard named Damin said with a sad face.
"There's no other angle."
Luo Changxing asked.
"This is a private club, and there are a lot of well-known people in Jiakang City who come here to socialize, and there is not much surveillance. That's it. β
The hall manager said embarrassedly.
"Let's take the video back for further forensic investigation to see if Ruohe still has a way to restore it?"
After Luo Changxing touched the stubble with his hand, he could only command helplessly. "Bad luck, it's like this again.
Let's go, let's go to the scene again.
It's a big place, and there's always someone who sees something. β
β¦β¦
"Xiao Ga, what do you say? Ask what comes out? β
When Luo Changxing returned to the hall of the clubhouse, he saw Xiao Ga chatting with the three girls in full swing.
"Captain, I've sorted out all the problems."
Xiao Ga hurriedly took out a notepad and handed it to Luo Changxing.
"Huang Wei, Guan Lei, Zhao Nianlu, they are all real names, not pen names, right?"
Luo Changxing asked while flipping through it.
"No, don't worry, Team Luo. It's all real names. β
The yellow cheongsam woman "Huang Wei", who was the first to interrogate, spoke.
"Okay, I'll go down to us and make a note. There are a few other places where your friends live, so you know each other. We're going to take a look at it too. β
Luo Changxing closed the notebook and continued to ask.
"Okay, we'll cooperate with the investigation. We're scared now, too, if only someone could protect us. β
Huang Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"We'll consider it at our discretion, don't go out lately, just wait for the arrangement. It is also for your own safety. β
Luo Changxing looked at Xiao Ga, and then replied.
"By the way, when you're drinking tea, are there any other people around here? Including the manager, you also think about it. β
Luo Changxing looked around the environment of the entire cafΓ© and found that the space was not too big.
"There were a couple of coffee-drinking couples, but they left early."
The hall manager was the first to speak.
"Later, did anyone else, including food deliverers, delivery people, any other unrelated people come in?"
"No, there isn't. It's not the weekend, and there aren't many people. The food delivery and delivery staff have also cooperated with our hotel for many years. β
The hall manager recalled for a moment and continued.
There are many suspicions, which makes Luo Changxing, who is used to handling big cases, a little big.
This is not a criminal case, there is no way to block it.
It's a public place again, and the fingerprints collected are disorganized and don't have much effect.
"The last question, who stabbed the TV station for the matter here?"
Luo Changxing's eyes lit up, and the tone of inquiry immediately turned into interrogation.
After a moment of silence, a girl hiding behind Huang Wei raised her hand timidly and said tremblingly:
"Well, I didn't know it was going to happen. I just posted a circle of friends. And then, then, just..."
Luo Changxing suddenly became angry, and slammed his fingers on the table to express his anger.
"Don't even move around lately.
Don't post any moments.
If you do this, it will make it more difficult to solve the case. β
After Luo Changxing took a long breath, he still controlled his emotions, and said after winking at his subordinates. "Xiao Dong, Xiao Ga, go to the homes of several other missing beauties to investigate the situation. Then, there were a few beauties who went with him. β
"Okay, okay, no problem."
Huang Wei took the lead and nodded, and the others quickly accepted it.
"By the way, Xiao Dai, you don't have to go back. If you really can't do it, you can go back to rest and rest, and it's really time to get off work. β
At this time, Luo Changxing walked to Li Dai's side and whispered in Li Dai's ear, which was enough to save face.
[No problem, it's all up to the captain.] γ
Li Dai once again took out the mobile phone that had already finished typing on the screen and put it in front of Luo Changxing, and then smiled.
"Hehe, Dr. Xiao Dai is really clever. So let's do this first, see you tomorrow, Dr. Xiao Dai. β
Luo Changxing scratched his head a little ashamedly, but time no longer allowed him to pretend to be stupid, so he could only say hello quickly and leave.
β¦β¦
Li Dai walked out of the hotel silently alone, standing at an intersection and waiting for the traffic light.
"I didn't expect that a cultivator would join the police force in the present world. And, it seems, that one doesn't appreciate it too much. β
Suddenly, a familiar method of "whispering into sound" entered Li Dai's ears.
Li Dai's eyes were solemn, and he did not immediately look for the source of the sound, but quietly waited for the following, so as not to respond to all changes.
"The little brother is really calm, no wonder he can enter the police team."
Soon, the person concerned appeared.
A sunny teenager wearing a set of sportswear walked out, and his face was not much older than Li Dai.
At this time, the young man was showing a bright smile at Li Dai, and a row of neat white teeth shone brightly.
Of course, a conventional problem in the cultivation world is that monks are never judged by their appearance.
