Waking up, Chai Su found himself reborn in an unfamiliar world.

Countless races live here: dwarf masters skilled in crafting alchemical weapons, magic masters adept at magic, and brave and sk...

Chapter 50 It’s them!

The information Lin Ke provided was no different from nothing.

The next task is to check the staff of the Chamber of Commerce.

The investigation continued until the afternoon.

It was an aunt who was in charge of cleaning the toilet who provided the information.

She had seen the girl. It was already eleven o'clock and the girl left the Chamber of Commerce building alone and very carefully.

At that time, there was basically no one in the Chamber of Commerce building, which means that no one knew where the girl went after she left.

After a series of investigations, they still didn't get any useful clues. After repeated consideration, they posted portraits of the girl on the streets of Huacang.

Anyone who can provide clues to the girl's whereabouts will be rewarded with 100,000 Huacang coins.

"Who is this person?"

"He's so handsome."

"It seems he is a very important person, one hundred thousand Huacang coins."

After waiting for a long time, no one came to provide any clues.

Xu Zeguo sat at the gate of the Supervision Department and smoked a cigarette. This had become a habit. When he was upset or thinking about a problem, he would take a few deep puffs of the cigarette.

He Hua and Cao Can came over and sat down next to him.

"Half a day has passed, and no one has come."

"It's normal. Winter is coming soon. Who would want to walk around the streets at night for no reason?"

Xu Zeguo blew out a circle of smoke.

"You think... could it be someone who attended the Chamber of Commerce that time..."

"It's not impossible."

Xu Zeguo put out his cigarette and sighed.

"How about we check them one by one?"

"Let's expand the search area first and pass down the order... As for those wealthy individuals, we'll interview them one by one..."

It’s a headache. I don’t even know the other party’s route and range of activities after leaving the Chamber of Commerce building.

"First, check all the people within this circle one by one."

A girl couldn't run far in the middle of the night, so she first determined the search range to be all residents within a 300-meter radius centered on the Chamber of Commerce building.

Because it is close to the central section, there are 78 households in the residential area planned here, making the investigation extremely difficult.

With only three days left, they had to work faster.

Cao Can led his men to investigate the residential area, while Xu Zeguo led his men to take statements from the company bosses in a hurry.

Xu Zeguo went straight to Lin Ke’s residence.

"Name."

"Lin Ke..."

"age."

"Twenty-five."

“…”

"Where were you yesterday from eleven to one?"

Lin Ke frowned.

"Captain Xu, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything else, it's just a simple inquiry, you just need to cooperate."

Feeling unhappy about being treated as a suspect, Lin Ke replied calmly:

"At home, sleeping."

"You said you saw the girl in the photo. When was it?"

"At 8:20, when we attend the Chamber of Commerce's founding ball."

"Are you impressed by the girl?"

"Not profound, just a glance from a distance."

"Okay, I've finished asking my questions. Thank you for your cooperation."

As Xu Zeguo stood up, Lin Ke suddenly called him.

"What's up?"

"Did anything happen to the girl in the photo?"

"Missing."

"oh."

Xu Zeguo nodded.

"Anything else?"

"Nothing else. Seeing that Guard Commander Xu is so busy, I won't keep him for dinner. Bye."

"Thanks."

In fact, he really wanted to say that he wanted to focus on investigating a certain person because he was notoriously lustful and had a messy private life, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

After all, he is now one of the other party's suspects. If he says it rashly, Xu Zeguo's suspicion of him will definitely increase.

After all, that person is his mortal enemy. To put it mildly, he is framing him, and to put it seriously, he is shirking responsibility.

Some things are better said less.

"Is it true that beautiful girls can attract people's attention? Just a glance from a distance...tsk tsk tsk."

After leaving Qi Ke, Xu Zeguo sighed.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? No one cares about ordinary-looking people, but those who are breathtakingly beautiful or extremely ugly are the ones who attract the most attention when they go out."

He Hua on the side curled his lips.

"So what kind of person are you?"

"Of course... the ordinary kind."

He Hua was about to say the first one, but when he saw Xu Zeguo's meaningful look, his face turned red and he quickly changed his words.

night.

No one in the Supervisory Department was idle, and all the guards were in action to process the huge amount of information.

"We checked the area... there were eleven people still walking around at eleven o'clock, and none of them said they had seen the girl in the photo."

"What about the possibility that one of them is a suspect?"

“It’s impossible to be sure, after all, it’s still unclear where Nona last disappeared to.

"There are no suspects, but there may be witnesses."

"If there were witnesses, but they didn't speak out..."

The three of them looked at each other.

Xu Zeguo immediately passed the order down and continued the trial.

"This is the transcript of the bosses who participated in the Chamber of Commerce. Take a look."

Cao Can flipped through it several times, his brows furrowed more and more.

Most of them had no impression of Nona, and many said they had gone to bed after 11 o'clock.

They even told us clearly where to sleep.
