deep white secret

Chapter 139 Operation Dawn
The lights in Jinghai City are brightly lit at night, and cars are coming and going.

The four-story Ruby Club has neon lights flashing on the exterior wall, illuminating the entire Guangnan Road like daylight.

On the huge LED display screen, various beautiful girls were singing and dancing in a coquettish manner.

Ning Xia gently patted the small bag slung over her shoulder, looked around and then walked towards the club.

The waiter who greeted Ningxia at the door had been observing Ningxia for a long time and couldn't figure out what a girl wearing such a simple sports suit and no makeup was doing in the Ruby Club.

So before Ningxia walked up the steps, the waiter stopped her:

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Ningxia hurriedly explained:
"I, my brother was here before, I came to see Mr. Li."

Mr. Li, whose name is Li Wenhai, is the person in charge of the Ruby Club. He is a drug trafficking suspect that the anti-drug team has been targeting for three years. He is the core figure in the drug sales chain in Jinghai City. He is the key arrest target of this dawn operation.

Li Wenhai had drug trafficking experience and often traveled between Myanmar and Jinghai City. After following him for three years, Li Wenhai remained hidden and the anti-drug team was never able to find direct evidence to arrest him.

The waiter is impatient:
"Looking for Mr. Li? Who are you?"

"I am my brother's sister."

"nonsense."

The waiter was a little impatient. Not only was the girl coy, but she was also not very good at answering questions.

"I'm asking you what are you doing with Mr. Li?"

"My brother is the bartender here. He had an accident a few days ago..."

Ningxia lowered her head.

"Meng Xiangren? Are you Meng Xiangren's sister?"

"Ah."

Ningxia remembered Ma Mingjie's investigation results, and the waiters in the club had mixed reviews of Meng Xiangren.

So what is the attitude of the person in front of Meng Xiangren?

The waiter is in his 20s, has a tall and thin figure, wears a well-fitting uniform, and has sharp eyebrows.

Ningxia lowered her head, holding her small backpack in both hands, waiting for the waiter to speak.

"What do you want to do with Mr. Li?"

"See if I can get a job."

The waiter thought for a long time, looked Ningxia up and down, and finally took out the walkie-talkie.

The waiter turned his back to Ningxia, and a beeping sound came from the intercom.

"Sister Lan, Meng Xiangren's sister wants to see Mr. Li."

"Wait a moment."

A female voice on the other side was very clear.

The waiter turned off the intercom and showed an impatient expression to Ningxia:
"Okay, just wait."

After waiting for a long time, the walkie-talkie rang again.Ningxia heard: "Bring it in".

The waiter smiled, turned to Ning Xia and said:

"Go in, someone will take you there in the lobby."

At this time, people came into the club one after another. The girls were wearing heavy makeup and cool clothes. Ningxia looked out of place in the crowd.

The waiter pushed open the golden door, and Ningxia stepped into the splendid Ruby Club.

Upon entering, I was stunned by a 20-meter-high fountain in the middle of the hall.

The golden Venus has grown arms, and is holding a gilt water bottle in one hand. A water column of more than half a meter high is poured out of the water bottle, and there is only the sound of running water in the ears.

The clubhouse is four stories high and brightly lit. The crystal chandelier illuminates the place like daylight.

Bar, bath, leisure, restaurant, different areas pointed in different directions in the hall, Ningxia stood there and quickly lowered his head.

A man in a dark suit came over:

"Are you looking for Mr. Li?"

Ningxia nodded.

"Come with me."

The waiter led Ningxia through the hall and entered the gray glass moon door. A corridor about five meters long appeared in front of Ningxia.

The lights dimmed, and the figures of Ningxia were reflected in the glass on both sides.

The waiter stood at the door of the innermost room and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The male voice inside was lazy.

The waiter motioned for Ning Xia to go in and stood behind Ning Xia.

Ningxia walked in. The room was large and dimly lit. There was a red nanmu desk, and two Buddha statues were enshrined on the opposite wall of the desk.

Ningxia sneered in her heart, was she doing all the bad things and seeking inner comfort?
The room was filled with Buddhist incense, and a man in his 40s sat with his legs crossed on the black leather sofa.

The man was wearing a long-sleeved striped shirt. He was tall and had a crew cut. There were tattoos on the back of his hands that spread into the cuffs.

The man's whole body was sunken into the sofa. He had dark skin and big eyes, staring at Ningxia with a strong sense of scrutiny.

Ningxia nodded and said softly:
"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Are you Meng Xiangren's sister?"

"Ah."

"I never heard him say he had a sister?"

Li Wenhai's voice was sharp and his eyes were full of interest. He looked Ningxia up and down several times.

"Cousin."

Li Wenhai asked the question, took out a cigarette, curled his lips, and motioned the waiter behind Ningxia to go out, puffing on the smoke while staring at Ningxia.

"What are you doing here?"

"My brother's accident made my aunt and uncle very sad. Before my brother's accident, he said he would introduce me to Jinghai City to find a job, and I have been waiting."

Ning Xia lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, not daring to look at Li Wenhai.

"The murder of Meng Xiangren has nothing to do with our Ruby. The police are already investigating. Meng Xiangren's death also seems very sudden to me. Do your family members have any other ideas?"

"No."

The room was soon filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. Li Wenhai changed his posture and said:
"Well, we have been actively cooperating with the police investigation. If we can't find anything, there is nothing we can do. Meng Xiangren... is doing well here."

Ning Xia didn't speak. Li Wenhai was very happy to see Ning Xia's expressionless face:

"You want to do it here?"

"Ah."

"What will you do?"

"My brother can bartend, but I can't. I can be a waiter."

"Can I have a drink with you?"

Ning Xia shook her head: "My brother said that the waiter here can let me try."

"waiter?"

The man was amused by Ningxia:
"Do you have much contact with Meng Xiangren?"

"Not too much. My brother said before that he would bring me to Jinghai, and I was looking forward to it, but suddenly there was no news about him. I heard that something happened to him a few days ago, and I became anxious."

The man's mouth twitched slightly:

"No wonder I didn't hear him mention it. You just came today?"

"Ah."

"Where do you live?"

"I don't know yet."

Men think about:

"Go to the Royal Garden Hotel."

Ningxia quickly shook her head:
"No, my brother died there. I don't want to go. Mr. Li doesn't care about me. I have been working outside for the past few years. I can live anywhere."

It is absolutely impossible for Ningxia to stay at the Royal Garden Hotel. When she first surveyed the site, many waiters and waiters had seen her.

Regarding Ningxia's rejection, the man said nothing and asked meaningfully:
"Your brother doesn't contact you often?"

"Not often."

"Do you know what he's doing?"

"The bartender."

The man closed his eyes, took a deep breath of cigarette and said:
"Has your brother contacted you recently?"

Ningxia realized that Meng Xiangren must have some secret with Li Wenhai, but the anti-narcotics team didn't know the secret yet.

Otherwise, Li Wenhai would not ask the same question so thoroughly.

"Well, I contacted you recently."

Sure enough, Li Wenhai perked up after hearing this and asked Ning Xia eagerly:

"When? What did Meng Xiangren say?"

Ningxia thought about it and answered boldly:
"I didn't say anything. If anything happens, let me come to Mr. Li. That's all I have to say."

Li Wenhai was obviously dissatisfied and confused:

"Did he say that? Meng Xiangren knew something would happen to him?"

Ningxia waved her hands hurriedly:
"I don't want to make random guesses. My brother said so, and I did the same."

Ning Xia felt that her answer was perfect. Such a vague answer seemed like it was not said, and it seemed to be affirmative but negative at the same time.

Sure enough, Li Wenhai didn't say anything, and Ningxia's answer was reasonable.

"Your brother owes me something, it's very important, but he died and the thing was lost. Now you work here. It can be considered as repaying his debt."

Li Wenhai put out the cigarette butt fiercely and asked:

"Did you go to the police station to get your brother's things?"

"I went there. I didn't have anything, and the police didn't give it to me. I asked my aunt and uncle, and they said they didn't want anything worthless. It would be uncomfortable to take it back."

The man sneered contemptuously:
"Okay, you go find Sister Lan. She will start work today and she will arrange your work."
