Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

The sexy girl Pero uses her soft and charming voice to seduce gamblers to borrow money to gamble in the casino.

Chen shook his head and got into the car.

"This city is already in a state of desperate straits, and so are the people here. I can save them once, but I can't save them countless times. I hope he can get back his money with interest next time."

"Oh, Mr. Chen, you're here again."

Feng Qingyu hated to see Chen frowning the most. Now he couldn't reach out and rub her brows, so he could only comfort her with his mouth.

"That guy chose to gamble, what does it have to do with you? He chose his own path, no one else can be blamed for the outcome. The police are not omniscient and omnipotent gods who can save all living beings. They are just ordinary people who have heavier responsibilities than ordinary people."

"I like what you said, but not everyone is as reasonable as you. I have handled several cases of death in casino fights. The families of the deceased always blame us police for not providing adequate protection and not responding in time. They say that the deceased did not need to die, and we became the indirect murderers."

"That's why you were so angry just now. You should persuade that person to turn back quickly."

"What else? The Longmen police love to meddle in other people's business."

"Mr. Chen, you are so handsome."

The two chatted and laughed as they left the smoky casino street. Just an hour later, someone ran to a high place, overlooking the street full of lights and feasting, and jumped down.

Sixty-five Return to the old business

The next morning, with one and a half days left before the first round of the Red Gold Search Competition, the three giants of the Special Inspection Team gathered in Chen's hotel room for a meeting.

As soon as everyone arrived, they heard Shi Huaiya complaining in dissatisfaction, her voice was slightly louder.

"Hey, Fenchanglong, please understand, it's my vacation now, why do I have to come to your place for a meeting so early in the morning?"

Feng Qingyu was sleeping in the bedroom. It was too early to get up at this time.

Chen and I went to the night market in Dos Soares to look for food. We didn't get back until after two o'clock. It's now ten o'clock in the morning, and I'm still sleepy without nine hours of good sleep.

Chen tortured me for nearly seven hours yesterday afternoon, but he claimed it was only six hours. Who would believe him?

"What are you doing so early in the morning? Isn't it a bit noisy?"

She walked out of the bedroom, staggering, and had to hold on to the wall to keep her balance. The point is, there was no cloth on her body, and a lot of ambiguous traces were very telling.

The three giants had all seen Feng Qingyu like this, but today was the only time they had seen him like this at the same time.

"Wow, what... is wrong with you?"

Shi Huaiya blushed immediately, her heartbeat quickened, and she subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands. It was okay for two people to watch together, but if several people watched together, that would be indecent assault.

It's too bitter. This woman is so bitter that it's unbearable to look at her.

"Missy, and Ghost Sister...why are you all here?"

Feng Qingyu yawned and greeted his two superiors good morning.

"You want to have a party so early in the morning?"

Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya both focused their eyes on Chen, wanting to say something but stopping themselves. Chen actually dared to run away and steal the food, and acted so quickly that anyone who heard about it was sad and anyone who saw it was angry.

Chen was slightly embarrassed. She thought Feng Qingyu would sleep until noon or afternoon before calling Xing Xiong and Shi Huaiya to a meeting. Unexpectedly, at ten o'clock...

Emmm, miscalculated.

"Ahem, Afeng, why aren't you wearing any clothes? Don't you have pajamas? You worked so hard yesterday, sleep a little longer today."

"It's okay. I've slept enough. If I sleep any more, I'll turn into a pig. I just heard you guys talking about the case, but you didn't even call me when you were discussing the case... Yawn... You didn't really think I was a gangster, did you?"

Xingxiong couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he saw a sheet on the sofa, so he pulled it off and walked behind Feng Qingyu to put it on her.

"You should pay more attention to your image. What if someone sees you? The floor-to-ceiling windows are transparent. Anyone outside can see what you are doing in the room."

"No, Mr. Chen said that even if you stand in front of the French window and do it, no one will see you."

"Old Chen, you..."

It was confirmed that Chen had run away. Although he was very unwilling, Xingxiong thought that Feng Qingyu's hanging around in the living room was detrimental to the work, so he decided to go all out and dragged her into the house, put clothes on her, and then dragged her out.

"Okay, now you just need to wash up and you can participate in the case discussion."

Xingxiong dragged Feng Qingyu to the bathroom again, squeezed the toothpaste himself, prepared a wet face towel, and wrung the water just right so that the towel was neither too dry nor too wet.

This series of actions is so considerate that every girl would want to marry him.

"Ghost sister, you are so considerate, it's very suitable for me to take you home or marry you."

"I know you are flattering me, but it sounds better than treating me as a brother. Whenever you want to marry me, I will put a wedding ring on you right away."

"Are you serious?"

"When have I ever not been serious? But Ah Feng, you don't belong to me alone, just leave a place for me in your heart."

"Ha... okay..."

The cool water in the sink finally woke Feng Qingyu up.

The large white board in the room was already filled with text and several photos were posted with lines connected by black marker, with words such as "time of loss of contact" written next to them.

The missing person is a young girl in her early twenties, from the Pelo ethnic group, with long black hair and pink eyes. She dressed in a revealing and wild way, wearing tight black hot pants and a white belly-baring vest. She had tattoos on her arms and shoulders. She was tall and had a pretty face, but she gave a bad first impression - this girl was not serious.

Several possibilities emerged in Feng Qingyu's mind. It could be kidnapping, or the criminals were attracted by the woman's beauty and took her to a place to imprison her and then forcibly held her. If it was more serious, it might involve murder.

"Are you investigating a missing persons case?"

Chen used a black marker to dot several times next to the photos of the missing people.

"To be exact, it was a kidnapping. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 500 million Bolivars from the mayor, or they would kill him in front of all the Bolivarians on the last day of the Grand Prix. The person kidnapped was the mayor's cousin, Sigrid Sánchez, a spoiled little princess."

Feng Qingyu looked at the photo carefully again. Indeed, the girl dressed wildly looked a bit like Mayor Candela, both with black hair.

"Five hundred million... this number is outrageous in Longmen, but it feels normal to me in Dossores. Money in this city is like paper. Once you use it, it's gone. It doesn't feel real at all."

Shi Huaiya couldn't help but sigh.

Speaking of kidnapping, no one here should be more familiar with it than her. However, in that kidnapping, the kidnappers did not really want a ransom. Their purpose was very clear, which was to weaken the influence and control of Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen.

There is one thing in common between the kidnappers this time and those then: they all threatened to kill the hostages in front of the entire city and even the entire country.

It was this point that reminded Shi Huaiya of the kidnapping that happened to her many years ago.

"The kidnappers haven't said where the transaction will take place yet. They've given us a week to raise the money. The last day of the week is exactly when the Grand Prix ends. The kidnappers said that if they don't get the money, the mayor will definitely regret it, and this famous tourist city will become even more famous, but in a negative way."

Chen explained all the key points and assigned tasks to the people present.

"I'm going to meet with the mayor and the people from the Dosores Police Department. The three of you should split up and investigate first. Ask the local people for information. Remember to keep a low profile."

"Yes, sir."

In a classic split operation, Feng Qingyu obtained an investigation permit from Chen, which was provided by the Dos Solès Police Department. When local residents see this item, they will feel like they are seeing a policeman, and there will be much less resistance when questioning.

An outsider without a permit would never be able to pry these people open their mouths without spending money.

Feng Qingyu's target was the bar. The girl in the photo looked like a nightclub queen. According to Mayor Chen, Miss Sigrid had suddenly changed after graduating from high school. She often went to bars to dance and got into trouble every few days, asking the mayor to help clean up the mess.

The mayor has a good temper and never gets tired of cleaning up. This has lasted for several years, until now.

"I have such a good cousin. I would die of laughter in my dreams."

She smiled bitterly and pushed open the door of a bar. The music inside was deafening and the colorful lights were shaking and flashing 360 degrees.

The smell of cigarettes and alcohol filled the air, and a familiar feeling came over me.

It's the feeling of returning to old business.

Sixty-six

Looking around the bar, there were quite a few customers, most of whom were not easy to deal with. Besides, customers in the bar came and went, and not everyone would remember the people in the photo.

The lighting in the bar is dim, so it is easy to mistake someone for someone else. However, the bartender is always working behind the bar, and if a certain customer comes many times, he or she will inevitably be impressed.

When she went to a bar to look for someone, she would first ask the bartender, and then the other people in the bar. As for the drinkers, she would ask them later.

"Go ask the bartender first."

Feng Qingyu sat down in front of the counter skillfully and glanced at the menu in the beverage area.

"A glass of Valentia sparkling wine."

The bartender was in a daze just now, but when he saw a customer coming, he immediately put on a standard business smile.

The bartender of this bar is a lazy Liberian man with a shiny slicked-back hair, a face full of stubble, and a very unkempt appearance. His clothes are relatively clean, and there is no particularly unpleasant smell, but his eyes are a little shifty.

Although he felt a little disgusted, Feng Qingyu still had to endure it.

"Miss, why don't you have a glass of tequila? Our Dos Solès tequila is world-famous. When out-of-town guests come to the bar, the first choice of drink must be Anton Liquor's tequila."

The price of tequila on the menu is much higher than that of sparkling wine. The more wine the bartender sells, the more expensive it is, and the more commission he can get. Some drinkers who don't know much about wine or are easily swayed are easily cheated by the bartender and spend a lot of money unknowingly.

Feng Qingyu likes things that are less popular. The more popular something is, the more she resists it. But today is a special situation. She wants to use wine as a starting point to get some information from the bartender.

"I have a friend who often comes to your bar to drink, and she told me that she must drink two shots of tequila."

"your friend?"

The bartender was skeptical and looked Feng Qingyu up and down. His expression was alert and mercenary, and his amber eyes revealed a strong desire for money.

"You are from Yan Country, miss, I have never seen you before."

"I've just been in Dos Soles for a few days. My company was invited by Mayor Candela, and all the people came here for vacation."

"Many people brag about knowing the mayor, and you are one of them. Let me make it clear that I will not give you a discount for this unless you can really prove that you are related."

Feng Qingyu was helpless. She didn't expect that the bartender's mouth would be harder to pry open than she thought. She had no choice but to show him that.

She showed the bartender the photo she had saved on her phone.

It was a group photo taken with the Dos Solès landmark cruise ship as the background, and the subjects were the winning teams of the Grand Prix auditions, plus the host, the referee and the mayor himself.

Mayor Candela stood in the middle, Chen and Lin Yuxia stood on her left and right, Feng Qingyu and Chen stood next to each other, and Yaye, as always, reduced her presence and stood at the edge.

There is no trace of photo-editing in the photo, it is truly authentic.

"Wait, you...you're a member of the winning team of the auditions? Now I remember, you're the one who named the team, the Yanguo girl who knocked out a bunch of people with an unsheathed sword!"

"..."

Now, he recognized it himself. It seems that the low-key investigation we promised to conduct cannot be carried out as we wish.

"Shh-"

Feng Qingyu gestured to the bartender to keep quiet.

"Keep your voice down, I just came here to have a quiet drink."

The bartender understood and his voice returned to normal, and the look he gave Feng Qingyu was full of admiration.

"Miss, I really like Yanguo martial arts. I watched your team's performance and immediately cast all my votes for you. Everyone in my family supports your Arknights team. I even went to the official website to place a big bet for you."

"Thank you for your support... Let's get back to the point. Do you believe what I said now?"

Feng Qingyu was not very interested in chatting about anything other than the investigation. Although the bartender seemed lazy just now, his mouth was like a machine gun and he kept talking. It was inevitable to get a little bored after listening to him for a long time.

This bar was the last place the mayor's cousin came to before she was kidnapped. If it wasn't for investigating the case, who would chat with the talkative bartender?

"I believe it, of course I believe it. It's my fault that I didn't recognize you in time. I'm wrong. You should have this drink on my own!"

The bartender made Feng Qingyu a beautiful tequila cocktail. Each layer of the wine was a different color, like layers of jelly, crystal clear and fragrant.

I originally wanted sparkling wine, but now I can get a glass of tequila for free, it would be a waste not to drink it.

"Thank you."

Feng Qingyu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The first layer of wine had a refreshing taste, sweet but not greasy.

"How does it taste?" the bartender asked expectantly.

"very nice."

She answered in the affirmative, thinking that the plan was almost complete and it was time to bring up the focus of today's investigation.

"Mr. Bartender, I heard that the mayor's cousin, Miss Sigrid, often comes to your bar. I haven't seen her for a long time. I want to buy her a couple of drinks. What time will she come?"

Feng Qingyu pretended that he didn't know about Miss Sigrid's kidnapping, making it more natural for him to inquire about the news.

"Miss, you may not know this, but she has been kidnapped and hasn't been released yet. Our bar was the last place she stayed before she lost contact. Those cops have been coming since yesterday, in waves. They just left five minutes before you came."

The bartender looked annoyed and annoyed.

"Why don't we usually see them being so attentive? Isn't it because we have no money and power? Let me tell you, just last week, a store next door was trying to steal our business, a group of people came and smashed the store, then paid off the police, went in in the morning and went home in the afternoon. It was really infuriating."
