Deep in

When Bai Qi hurriedly drove to the scene, two hours had passed since the manager's call to the police.

The scene of the disappearance was a private winery near the suburbs, the location was very remote and difficult to find, so he spent a lot of effort on the road, but when he finally arrived at the destination, he found that the place had already been surrounded by journalists who had heard the news. .

He stood outside the door and hesitated for a while, then took out his mobile phone to call Police Officer Wang, at this moment, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, Bai Qi immediately turned his head away, and instinctively clenched his fists to make a gesture. He took precautions, but found that this person was the policewoman who just came to the third brigade a few days ago.

The policewoman was startled by his sharp eyes, subconsciously exclaimed: "White team!"

"Why are you?" Bai Qi frowned and looked at her with a bad tone.

"Wang...Officer Wang said that there are too many reporters outside, let me meet you."

"What about the rest of the team?"

"They are investigating the scene of the disappearance, looking for reliable clues, come with me."

Bai Qiqiu nodded, wrapped up his denim jacket, and followed the policewomen one by one into the manor through the side door.

It is said that the owner of this manor is a very low-key young rich man. Because he is keen on wine making, he bought it at an auction with a huge sum of money.After entering through the side door, there is an extremely spacious and tidy road, covered with smooth cobblestones, which are now shining with a faint golden luster under the sunlight. On both sides of the corridor is an open and lush lawn, even in the cold weather. In October, it is still delicate and green.

The two walked forward for about 10 minutes, and saw a very grand villa. The policewoman turned her head and reminded a little shyly: "We're here, it's inside."

Walking into the villa, one can see the extremely luxurious hall at a glance, with warm-colored marble tiles, Huafu lighting, bright paintings from Europe, and exquisite ornaments everywhere, each of which looks worthwhile. Not cheap.

Who would be able to kidnap the hottest star in such a heavily guarded place without anyone noticing?

Bai Qi frowned, feeling full of doubts in his heart.

The place where Zhou Qiluo took the photo was in the middle of the hall, but the place where he disappeared was in a guest room on the second floor. When Bai Qi and the policewoman walked in side by side, Police Officer Wang was sitting on the sofa taking notes for the manager , seeing him coming, immediately handed the notebook in his hand to the little policeman next to him, and greeted him himself.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Bai Qi coughed lightly, his expression adding a bit of seriousness.

Officer Wang shook his head: "There were no fingerprints left at the scene, but we found a clean scalpel blade under the coffee table, no matter the model or size, they were the same as those left in the previous disappearance cases. The perpetrators should be A suspect."

"What did the agent say?"

"It was said that when work started at seven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Qiluo claimed that he was very uncomfortable. After half an hour of filming, he returned to this guest room to rest and asked no one to disturb him. Wait until nine o'clock The manager knocked on the door and came in and saw someone else on the sofa, and when he came back at ten o’clock, he had disappeared out of thin air.” Police Officer Wang’s voice became softer as he spoke: “There are posts on the Internet saying that the previous disappearance cases were all about female ghosts arresting people. , will this big star also..."

"Where's the manager of this winery? Has he come?" Bai Qi patted him on the shoulder, raised his head, and asked the police officers who were collecting evidence not far away, interrupting the conversation intentionally.

"Here we come, Team White." One of the police officers replied, pointing to the right: "That's the one."

Looking in the direction of his finger, he happened to see an old man standing in front of the bookcase.

He looked to be in his 60s, wearing a black suit and a dark red bow tie. His weather-beaten face was wrinkled but kind.

Bai Qi stepped forward, deliberated for a while before saying hello awkwardly: "You... well, are you the owner of this winery?"

"Hi, sir, I'm just a manager who lives here, not the owner." The old man raised his forehead slightly, and his gestures showed an extraordinary aristocratic temperament, which made Bai Qi more restrained .

There is no one in this age group in his family, and he doesn't know how to get in touch with him, but after seeing this gentle and polite old man, he was the first to think of Xu Mo, as if he saw the future of that person look.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help slightly curling the corners of his mouth, and relaxed a little.

"My boss only occasionally comes here to escape the summer heat in summer, and he doesn't show up at the winery the rest of the time." The old man continued.

Bai Qi was silent for a while: "Then...during Zhou Qiluo's rest here, have you seen any suspicious people or heard any suspicious voices?"

"No." After saying this, the old man thought for a while, and repeated again: "No, I'm sure, this room is very, very quiet."

"..."

A group of people searched and questioned the winery for a full three hours, but still did not get any valuable clues. Except for the surgical blade left behind, the room was spotless and there was no trace of struggle or fight.

In fact, this is very strange.

If it was an outsider who committed the crime, the place shouldn't be so clean, but if it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, why are there striking similarities with the three previous cases?

Or, the guest room where Zhou Qiluo rested was not the scene of the first crime at all? !

On the way back from the winery to the police station, Bai Qi had been thinking about these issues secretly. No one in the car spoke. The ominous premonition seemed to be heavy and gray, weighing heavily on everyone's heart. superior.

Since the missing person is a public figure in the entertainment industry, the third brigade in charge of this case was pushed to the forefront for a while.Not only did he have to check the surveillance videos of the previous victims before they disappeared, but he was also responsible for dealing with the media and fans who blocked the police station every day.

Because of this incident, Bai Qi has been working non-stop for three days. During these three days, he has not returned home, and Xu Mo has not called him once.Although he already knew how indifferent the science monster at home was to him, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Finally, when it was time for lunch in the afternoon, Bai Qi ordered takeaway for the big guys, then went to the lounge to smoke while calling Xu Mo.

The phone rang several times before it was connected. There was a burst of noisy human voices, which were also mixed with the sound of car horns. Bai Qi's face darkened suddenly. On the upper floor of the trash can, he slammed it fiercely: "Where are you?"

Xu Mo said in a flat tone: "I just got off work and I'm outside."

"I asked where is the exact location? If you still lie to me, I'll fucking handcuff you at home..." Bai Qi paused, and then said in a more gloomy voice: "Every day on you."

Xu Mo on the other end of the phone was obviously shocked by this sentence, and his voice trembled when he spoke again: "...you are a lunatic."

"Didn't you already know this? Where are you?"

"I'm at the entrance of Huarui Company."

"If you don't go home after work, what are you doing there?"

Bai Qi asked a few more questions, but Xu Mo didn't say a word, and finally hung up the phone altogether. He was stunned for a moment when he heard a cold mechanical busy tone in his ear, and then he suddenly raised his foot to hold the phone in front of him when he recovered. The trash can was kicked over.

He wanted to see Xu Mo, and he wanted it now!

In just a dozen seconds, Bai Qi had already returned to the desk, took the car keys, and walked quickly towards the gate of the police station. When he turned the corner of the first staircase, he happened to meet the person who was picking up the takeaway. Officer Wang.

Police officer Wang came over panting with a dozen lunch boxes in his hand. The moment the two looked at each other, he was completely shocked by the horrifying look in Bai Qi's eyes, and opened his mouth nervously: "Team Bai, you Where are you going? The meal has just arrived and I haven't eaten yet."

Bai Qi didn't even lift his eyelids, and continued to walk forward in a hurry, before entering the car door, he gritted his teeth and said: "Whatever you eat, my wife will run away with someone!"
