Chapter 215: Hotel History
After visiting Shi Tianyi, Chi Xia went to the bar again. Although the bar was open, Uncle Gen was not there.
When she was about to go back, she opened the milk box at the door and found the sleeping soup that she hadn't seen for several days. She opened it and found that it was newly put in.
Thinking of Qu Bai's situation today, she took her things and walked back. Along the way, she wanted to send him a message, but was afraid of causing trouble for him, so the message had not been sent until she got home.
It was still an unfamiliar phone number that sent a text message.
"Officer Chi, this is Ade. The gentleman is fine and has fallen asleep."
When Chi Xia saw this text message, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a "OK".
On the other side, after Ade sent a text message to Chi Xia using this phone, he took out his own phone to check the photos they took in the evening.
It was then that he discovered the video that Chi Xia had secretly filmed.
As Ade watched the video, a smile gradually appeared on his cold face. He watched it back and forth several times, as if he had discovered some treasure. His heart was filled with sourness, making him happy and a little sad.
It was not until later that Ade realized that this feeling at this moment was what people often call happiness.
He was once alone and suffered a lot until he met Qu Bai and stayed with him, and finally he had a home.
At this time, Luo Xun also followed Chi Xia's words and visited Heizi, and just came out of Heizi's room.
Luo Xun turned off the light in the room. The moment the door was closed, the smile on Heizi's face disappeared completely. After a while, a sigh clearly dissipated in the room. Heizi turned over, but couldn't fall asleep.
He has been unable to figure it out during this period of time, and doesn't know whether he should tell Luo Xun or Ge Jingyi what he saw.
He saw the man Ge Jingyi had been thinking about, the man who abandoned Ge Jingyi, named Nie Haishu.
It was the day he went to meet Uncle Gen, in that shabby hotel.
The reason why he appeared near Chi Xia's house so coincidentally that night and saved Ge Jingyi so coincidentally was also related to Nie Haishu.
Because the other party appeared in the hotel and seemed to be here for this matter. When they passed each other, he saw the man's face clearly and got a note from him.
Go find Ge Jingyi.
Just these five words, and when he chased after him, Nie Haishu had disappeared. He called Ge Jingyi with many doubts, and then, what happened that day happened.
Perhaps, the matter was not just related to Chi Xia. Heizi always felt that there was a net that had invisibly enveloped all of them.
He wanted to find Qu Bai, but he hadn't been able to contact him these days.
Just as Heizi was tossing and turning, the cell phone beside his pillow suddenly dinged, indicating that there was an incoming message.
Heizi hurriedly picked up the phone and found that it was the number that Qu Bai had been contacting him with, and the message only told him: Nie Haishu's matter must be kept confidential.
Having worked with Qu Bai for such a long time, Heizi had immense trust in him. When he saw this message, he finally felt at ease, as if he had gotten an answer that could convince himself. But then new doubts began to arise in his mind.
Nie Haishu also had a younger brother, who died.
He, Chu Jinbao, had a younger brother, who also died.
So, are they doing the same thing?
When he thought of this, Heizi became inexplicably excited. He suddenly realized that he was not alone, but perhaps there were many other people.
He looked at the moon outside the window, read the text message over and over again, and deleted it when sleepiness finally came over him.
…
In the morning, Chi Xia received a call from Song Yanci on his way to the task force.
"Senior Brother Song." Chi Xia was a little surprised: "How come you have time to call me?"
The man said lazily , "Little Falcon, you know how to find your sister, but you don't know how to find me, your brother? I know more about foreign affairs than you do."
Chi Xia was a little embarrassed at first, but immediately realized something: "Senior Brother Song, did you help me find a clue?"
Song Yanci smiled and said, "You should have learned from Luo Xun a long time ago. He came to me from the beginning."
Chi Xia: “Ah?”
"Lin Cuo found me and asked me to help check foreign websites. When I asked in detail, I found out that you and Luo Xun were investigating the same thing. How come you, old enemies, have become superiors and subordinates? Did that brat Luo Xun bully you?"
Chi Xia smiled, a little proud: "We had a fight, and it was hard to tell who won."
Song Yanci laughed loudly on the other end: "Are you using the beauty trap?"
"He was the first to be tempted. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Chi Xia defended himself: "Brother Song, did you find that website?"
"Okay, okay, since you're so anxious, let me tell you something serious first."
Song Yanci clicked his tongue twice. "I found the website. It's a large dark web abroad, but most of the videos on it are from China. I suspect the manipulator behind the scenes is from China. The Zhu Xin you want to investigate is just the most insignificant one. I just sent the specific information to Luo Xun. As for this website, I have already reported it and will try to destroy it."
“You said it’s a large scale, which means there are quite a few victims in the country.”
Chi Xia's eyebrows were cold: "If you need any help from us, just ask."
Song Yanci responded: "Yes, and the victims are not only women, but also may include human lives. Anyway, I won't be embarrassed if I need your help."
Chi Xia spoke to him a few more words before hanging up the phone.
When we arrived at the task force, Luo Xun and Lin Wenjue had just arrived and were opening their computers to receive information.
Chi Xia told them what happened on the phone between her and Song Yanci, but unexpectedly Luo Xun's first question was, "Why did he call you and not me?"
Lin Wenjue rolled his eyes and slapped him: "Is this the point now? How can you be jealous of your own wife? Do you have any shame?"
Luo Xun felt wronged: "I just said it casually!"
"Stop talking and look at the information."
Lin Wenjue pressed his head and said, "According to what Officer Song said, we should tell Old Chang about this."
Chi Xia and Luo Xun both hummed.
Judging from the content, the volume of videos uploaded by Zhu Xin in recent years has been quite large, and the number of victims is already staggering. Thinking about what Song Yanci said, Chi Xia couldn't help but feel a chill.
Until they found the video about Lu Ningzhi.
Judging from the video, Zhu Xin had threatened Lu Ningzhi more than once.
Luo Xun kept the relevant clues separately and looked at Chi Xia and Lin Wenjue: "Do we need to meet Lu Ningzhi again?"
"What did Ge Jingyi say?" Chi Xia asked first.
Luo Xun frowned: "It's normal that there are no flaws. She hasn't even received a single unfamiliar phone call."
"There's no point looking for her now."
Lin Wenjue said: "Even if there are these videos, without evidence, nothing can be proved. The only thing that can be proved is that she is a victim."
After saying this, Lin Wenjue sat down, looking worried: "I have a feeling that we can't convict her this time."
At this moment, Cao Bin ran in: "Boss, Zhu Chongliang called and said he wanted to see us."
"Lao Lin, you and Lao Cao go." Luo Xun said: "Provoke him to tell more about Lu Ningzhi."
Lin Wenjue nodded: "Okay, we'll be there right away."
Luo Xun glanced at the time: "Why hasn't Curly come yet?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention that he went to see Lu Ningzhi's former teacher."
Cao Bin said, "She said she checked the circumstances of Lu Ningzhi's father's accident last night and wanted to find her former teacher to learn more about the situation. She must have gone there by now."
Luo Xun agreed, and after they left, he called Juanmao again to confirm that he was currently at the home of one of Lu Ningzhi's former teachers.
"Is there any news from the Household Registration Department?" Chi Xia asked, "Under normal circumstances, a family should not disappear without a trace."
Not long after she said this, Luo Xun received the information sent by the Household Registration Department.
"They are too stingy to give us this little bit." Luo Xun's face fell when he saw the pitiful information. "That's it. The Household Registration Department said they had to persuade us to give it to us."
"It's not easy for them either." Chi Xia took a quick look and said, "Gangying? This is too far from Dongzhou."
"We changed our names and places, and we ran quite far. The camp is already far to the south. No wonder they just don't give it to us, and we have no way to say anything."
Luo Xun looked at the information sent over: "But there is no need. The death of Lu Ningzhi's father was an unexpected disaster for this family. They also paid so much money out of humanitarianism. Why should they leave their hometown because of this?"
Although there are many possible explanations, it is always a bit hard to understand when it comes to this family.
