"Qingxin, you've forgotten your sisters now that you have a boyfriend?"
"Truly a woman who forgets loyalty for the sake of beauty!"
"I've seen through you! I rushed over as soon as I heard you had something urgent, but you exposed yourself the moment you saw a pretty face?"
The girls started joking around and making a ruckus.
Seeing this, Guan Feng coughed twice and briefly explained the situation: "Qingxin said that you all like to do manicures? This time, we have a manicure design and we'd like you to help us identify it and see where in Hua'an we can get it done?"
When the women heard Guan Feng speak, his voice magnetic and full of mature male charm, they all spoke up.
"Nail art? I'm an expert at that! Ask me, Brother Guan!"
"You're familiar with it? I go there once a week and haven't even said a word yet."
"Brother Guan, feel free to ask me anything. As long as it's a nail salon in Hua'an, it's fine."
Guan Feng solemnly reminded them: "Before we start the questioning, let me make two points. First, the case is still under investigation, and we must not reveal a single word about the appearance of the pattern to the outside world. Second, don't worry about being misled. Whether you have a clear impression or a vague mark, you can speak freely, and we will make a judgment."
The girls all nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Guan Feng took out the photos and reminded everyone, "No photos allowed. Everyone should pass them around and look at them."
Several girls passed it around.
A moment later.
The first person shook his head, indicating that he had never seen it before, and then handed it to the second woman.
After the second woman finished reading it, she handed it to the third woman.
Continue in this order!
At this moment.
The fourth woman, who appeared petite and delicate, stared at the photo for a while, then said with a surprised expression, "I feel like I've seen this pattern somewhere before!"
Guan Feng asked, "Can you still remember?"
The girl frowned and said, "Let me think! I remember seeing it somewhere! It seems to be... Lankai Nail Salon, their wallpaper has this kind of cross-shaped sickle."
Guan Feng asked, "Lankai Nail Salon?"
The girl said, "It's over on XX Road."
Guan Feng noted down the name and said to the girl, "Thank you for your cooperation! If we find out it's true, we'll appreciate the clue you provided!"
The girl said sweetly, "Don't mention it! You're Qingxin's brother and a police officer, so it's only right that we cooperate."
Guan Feng said, "There's one more thing I need to remind you. The case is under investigation, and I won't hide it from you. This is a murder case. If the information is leaked and the criminals escape, we will pursue the criminal liability of those responsible! So I hope you keep this in mind."
The women in front of him were all from wealthy families and used to their freedom, so he had to be direct in his speech to get their attention.
Chen Qingxin also reminded him, "You all have to listen to my brother, otherwise he might really arrest you, don't blame me!"
The girls all nodded.
"Don't worry, Brother Guan, we won't tell."
"We will definitely cooperate fully with your work."
"Brother Guan, do you know that place? Do you want me to take you there?"
Guan Feng said, "No need! I know that road. You guys gather! I'm leaving first!"
Chen Qingxin said, "Okay." He stood up and saw Guan Feng out.
Back to room
Several sisters gathered around, chattering excitedly.
"Qingxin, how come I've never heard you mention how handsome your brother is?"
"Where did you find this handsome guy? A detective, no less? Something's not right! I've never heard you mention having a brother like that. You wouldn't be keeping him for yourself, would you?"
"Tell me the truth! Do you two have some kind of special relationship?"
Chen Qingxin said irritably, "What are you talking about! Brother Guan is a decent person, don't even think about it!"
......
Lankai Nail Salon.
When Guan Feng and the others arrived by car.
Just then, I saw a female customer walk out of the shop.
The door was opened.
The layout and decoration of the room are revealed.
Guan Feng's smart glasses have a zoom function, which allows him to see the black cross-shaped sickle pattern on the wallpaper in the store when he is farsighted and his vision is magnified.
You can't say they're similar!
They are exactly the same!
The victim's fingernail had a significant curve, making it slightly different from the shape of a regular sickle.
The same pattern appears on the wallpaper of this shop.
Guan Feng nodded and said, "It's most likely this one!"
Liu Shengguo immediately prepared to turn off the engine and get out of the car.
Guan Feng stopped him and waved his hand, saying, "Don't alert them yet! We don't know anything about this shop. Lily and I will go in, and you wait in the car to provide backup! Lily, you get out of the car with me and pretend to be my boyfriend and girlfriend. Just say you're getting your nails done, and then we'll steer the conversation toward that sickle!"
Huang Lili hesitated, "Boyfriend and girlfriend? That's not appropriate, is it?"
Guan Feng said, "What's inappropriate about it? We don't need to hold hands or anything, just say a few words. Let's go."
Huang Lili said, "Alright then."
The two got out of the car and went into the store.
A woman in a long black dress with blonde hair walked over and asked, "Are you two getting your nails done?"
Guan Feng pointed at Huang Lili and said, "She wants to work here. Does the shop have any recommendations?"
The woman glanced at Huang Lili and exclaimed, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful! She has a great figure and fair skin. I think she could get some translucent manicures to brighten her complexion and make her look even more radiant."
Huang Lili asked, "Do you have any samples? I haven't done much nail art before."
The woman smiled and said, "We have a special sample book for comparison. You can tell the effect and style at a glance." She pulled out a booklet from the counter and began to explain the nail art designs in the booklet.
Five minutes later.
The woman then introduced dozens of styles and their respective effects.
Huang Lili didn't seem very satisfied.
