The rest of the process is much simpler.

Guan Feng finished his routine questioning and then looked at Lao Wang from the technical department and asked, "Has the hair been extracted just now?"

Old Wang said, "It's been extracted; I'm going to go back and compare it."

Guan Feng said, "Judging from Chen Qingya's statement, we still need to point the clues to the Blue Sky Bar. Lily, take Captain Wang back to the villa later. Captain Wang, you start the test results here. Huang Lili and I will go to the bar to check the surveillance footage and see if we can find anything."

"OK."

Huang Lili nodded immediately.

Old Wang also said there was no problem.

The three got into the car and returned to the villa.

Guan Feng then took Huang Lili to the Blue Sky Bar.

As noon approached, the bar's doors were open, but there were very few people inside. Occasionally, there would be one or two tables of customers, who were there to eat food rather than drink.

Guan Feng went to the bar and asked the waiter, "Where's your boss?"

The waiter looked at Guan Feng and thought, "Who is this arrogant guy? He comes up here and wants to see our boss. Does he think our waiters aren't classy enough?" But then he saw Guan Feng pull out his work ID.

The disdain on his face instantly turned into a fawning smile, and he hurriedly said, "Wait a moment! Our boss is resting in the back, I'll go call her."

Guan Feng nodded and waited patiently for a moment. Then he saw a tall woman in a brown coat walk up from behind him with a faint smile on her face. When she saw Guan Feng, she immediately asked, "Officer, did you want to see me?"

Guan Feng asked, "Where's the monitoring room? I have something to ask you, let's go over there."

Upon hearing this, the proprietress immediately led the way.

The three of them went to the monitoring room.

Guan Feng pulled out a photo of Schulmer and asked, "Do you recognize this man?"

The proprietress took the photo, looked it over, and nodded, saying, "Yes! Foreigners are quite rare around here, especially since he comes here so often. What happened? Did he get into trouble? That can't be right. Judging from his appearance, he should have a stable job."

Guan Feng looked at the proprietress and slowly said, "He's dead. He was murdered at home."

The elegantly dressed proprietress wore an incredulous expression, repeatedly saying, "Dead? How is that possible? Are you sure you're not mistaken? He was here at our bar yesterday or the day before!"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "He was just murdered last night."

The proprietress covered her mouth with her hand, somewhat incredulous.

Guan Feng asked, "How many days can your surveillance footage be stored?"

The proprietress said, "One month."

Guan Feng instructed, "Contact the front desk and retrieve Schulmo's spending records. We need to access the surveillance footage." He paused, then added, "This matter shouldn't be known by too many people; it's not good for the bar's reputation. Please, madam, retrieve it yourself."

The proprietress said, "Thank you! I'll go right away."

Guan Feng gave Huang Lili a wink.

Huang Lili followed.

Five minutes later.

Schulmer's spending records for the past month were retrieved.

Guan Feng looked at the list of purchase records, frowned, and asked the proprietress, "Was Schulmo also at the bar last night?"

The proprietress explained, "Yes, but I should leave early, otherwise I would go and have a drink with them. I usually go and have a drink with some regular customers around nine o'clock, which is also a way to attract repeat customers."

Guan Feng said, "In that case, let's retrieve the surveillance footage."

I sat down in front of the computer.

He entered last night's time first, pressed the Enter key with his right hand, and began to observe the situation in the bar.

Besides the front and back doors, there were six security cameras inside the bar. With the proprietress's guidance, Guan Feng spotted the figure sitting in the southeast corner—Shu Ermo!
