Chapter 17: Heroes Save Beauty

The main economic lifeline of Star City is trade, and Star City is considered to be the smallest city in Dalongzhou, where only a few fishermen lived a long time ago. For a variety of reasons, it has slowly developed into the prosperity it is today. Many businessmen with long-term vision or background have made a lot of money here, and of course, many businessmen have died here.

Real estate developers quickly opened up the market and built a number of high-end residential and villa complexes north of the old town. Later, many shopping streets with restaurants, clothing, and so on were spun up around these houses. It can be said that it has become the center of Star City.

However, in the new city center, there are few entertainment venues such as bars, discotheques, and bathing centers. When Xia Ming was chatting with sharks before, he heard sharks say that it seemed that those merchants who had just come to the old city to pan for gold a long time ago were afraid that the chaos would affect their descendants, so they united to resist those places and survive in the city center.

At that time, Star City was relatively chaotic, unlike now, even though there are still many gangs surviving, but for a long time, everyone has maintained a tacit understanding, and there is something to solve privately. Gangs with bad rules don't always survive for long.

Although the times have changed, for some unknown reason, people who go to the city center to open these gray places always choose to close their stores soon after. Xia Ming conducted an investigation after focusing on this abnormal phenomenon behind his back. It was discovered that the reason behind the scenes turned out to be an important person in a business family who used to retire in the city center. And the old man doesn't know why he hates these places where fights and brawls are likely to occur. As a result, these establishments were not allowed to survive in the city center. The cohesion of this family is relatively strong, and the old man's contribution to the family is relatively large, and his descendants still maintain this tradition long after the old man's death.

Xia Ming was not shocked when he learned the truth. I have seen many similar situations like this, and after having money and power, many things have become much simpler. If one day there is a richer and more powerful family that does not like this rule, this rule will naturally be broken. However, people at that level will not easily use this trivial matter as an excuse to offend a merchant family.

At this time, night has just fallen, and there are already many people in the bar discotheques in the old town. There are businessmen who come out to buy drunk, white-collar workers who come out to release stress, and all kinds of men and women who come out to find excitement. Xia Ming was sitting in the corner of a discotheque, silently drinking white water. As for why it's not liquor, because Xia Ming has always disliked drinking. Alcohol can paralyze a person's body as well as their mind. This is something that Xia Yan has always emphasized, not an extraordinary occasion, don't drink easily.

The name of this disco is called Night Disco, and the name is very ordinary. But business is good. The reason why Xia Ming came here has to be talked about during the day.

After Xia Ming found the shark, the shark called a little brother that Xia Ming didn't know, and the little brother said something he saw with his own eyes last night.

It turned out that this little brother had drunk a lot last night, and it was his turn to guard the gate of the Happy Forest with another person in the middle of the night. The good thing is to be on duty. Finally waited until there were no guests, and he hurriedly beckoned his companions and ran to a nearby street corner to open the gate and release water. No one saw it at night anyway.

When the water was released, he happened to see a happy young lady leave work early. It just so happened that a few young people came out of a disco on the side. When I saw the bewitching young lady dressed up, I teased a few words. The young lady doesn't seem to care much about people. A few young people were not happy. I had to drag the young lady. The younger brother was about to get rid of the young men. As a result, at this time, another man with a hat came out of that discotheque. Then the two sides clashed.

And the strange thing is that when the younger brother saw several young people rushing up to beat the strange man with a coat, he suddenly knelt on the ground and slapped himself. Such a little brother thought he was dazzled. After wiping his eyes, he thought he was a hell of a ghost after confirming that it was true. Seeing that the young lady was also scared away, he hurried away. Go back and talk to your companions. His companions didn't care either, and laughed at him for being timid. It came and went to the sharks. The shark was silent, but sent Yellow Fur to inquire carefully. The shark suspects that this person is likely the same person who broke into the headquarters of the gang that sold arms earlier.

Xia Ming thought of a few details and asked, "Why did that young lady leave work early?"

Huang Mao said: "I went to ask, she came early last night." ”

Xia Ming said: "Well, this also explains why she is not in the mood to deal with those drunk young people." Then Xia Ming asked the witnesses: "Didn't the young lady see you?"

Then the younger brother said: "No, they usually go through the back door after work, and they come out on another street." ”

Xia Ming nodded to indicate that he knew, and then chatted casually, and then sent Huang Mao and the little brother. Finally, he said to the shark: "Don't make a noise yet, even if you appear on the edge of your happy forest, it is not necessarily that it is here to trouble you. Maybe it's because the murder case didn't see the light of day, and it doesn't have to be the one who came out to drink a little stuffy. What's the name of that discotheque, I'm going to try my luck tonight and see if I can find him. ”

Shark said: "Night disco." Be careful, don't clash with him head-on, I don't think he's easy. Or I'll send someone to follow you. ”

Xia Ming said: "Don't worry, I won't mess around, and I want to see what he wants to do." Looking for someone, you don't have as much experience as me. And none of you saw his face. In this case, you ask your men to find the young men who were drunk last night. By the way, that young lady probably didn't go to work last night, you send someone to ask her if she heard. ”

So, Xia Ming came to this bar. The younger brother said that although he couldn't see his face clearly due to the distance, judging from his body shape and hair, he should be a man. Then the woman can be ruled out. He still wears a hat so late, probably not wanting people to see his face, there are a few in the middle of the dance floor, but they seem to have companions, so they should be able to rule it out. There were a few men sitting alone in the seats, but it could be seen that some were really drunk, some were not in the same size, and some were deliberately pretending to be depressed. can be temporarily excluded.

At this time, Xia Ming happened to receive a message that when the mysterious person stopped a few drunk young people last night, she seemed to hear a young man say that his father was from the police station, and it was useless to threaten the mysterious person to call the police. Another young man said that his family runs a newspaper, saying that you are nosy, and you can save one who comes out to sell, and it is useless for you to expose us through the Internet. If you say ban you, you will be blocked.

Xia Ming replied to the message: The matter is right, no wonder all the reporters this morning seem to know about the murder, it should be that person who kidnapped the three people, and asked the family of the young man who runs a newspaper at home to inform all his colleagues about the murder. ”

Then Xia Ming continued to wait, um, what is the thing so dazzling? Eh, it turned out to be a big white leg. Xia Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if his body was protesting against the fact that he hadn't had a woman for too long?
