Chapter 203 The Shadow Reflected on the Opposite Glass Wall



203

My senior colleague said, "No need."

Based on the description given by the old man downstairs, it was confirmed that Jian Yu entered Unit 1 of Building 1.

It's unclear which floor it is.

The old man said, "I guess it's on the 3rd or 4th floor. Only these two families don't live here; they've all rented it out."

3rd floor or 4th floor?

Set your goals.

A group of people rushed upstairs, and as soon as they reached the third floor, they saw the security door wide open.

Jane and George stood at the door.

Jian Yu was holding a video camera and recording inside.

Hearing footsteps, without turning his head, he said, "They're here! This is Lu Han's hideout."

Lu Han has been found?

The young policeman looked Jian Yu up and down. "Have you kept her tied up here for the past two days? Have you restricted her freedom?"

Jian Yu finally put down the camera, turned around and glanced at him, "Can't you speak properly? She clearly conspired with my enemies to fake her disappearance and frame me. I found her, how can you turn around and blame me?"

"You found her? We can't find her, how did you find her? I think you're the one who trapped her here."

"It's your fault for not being able to find it. However, if you don't hurry, it might become difficult to find it soon."

What does that mean?

Jian Yu tossed out the brand-name item in his hand, "Lu Han has contacted this plastic surgery hospital, and today is the day she's having facial plastic surgery. You guys better hurry, she probably hasn't even gotten to the operating table yet."

The young police officer took the business card and glanced at it.

He pushed aside Jian Yu and rushed inside.

The room is simply equipped.

Only basic household furniture.

There was a box of instant noodles and a box of bottled water on the ground.

There were several new clothes on the bed.

There was also a pink wig, a half-skull mask, and a short cape, which were thrown into the closet.

A senior colleague asked, "What are you filming?"

"Take a picture of what's inside the house."

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

Jian Yu shook his head. "We didn't go in. I just found a locksmith to open the door. It had only been open for less than two minutes when you came in."

I just ran into a locksmith downstairs; it turns out you were the one who called him.

The young policeman looked the house inside and out.

"Where is Lu Han? Is it really this plastic surgery hospital?"

"Why don't you go and see for yourselves?"

After exchanging glances, the staff decided to first take Jian Yu into custody.

"We'll check with the plastic surgery hospital. Now we need you to come back to the station with us."

"The reason is that I found Lu Han's address?"

"This is one of them. Another one is that the DNA of the hair on Lu Han's clothes matches yours."

Nodding, "Let's go then!"

Jian Yu suddenly became cooperative, which made the staff somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Let's go back first."

Jian Yu was taken to a police car and blocked by people on both sides to prevent her from escaping.

George watched the police car start moving with a cold expression before getting into the black Cayenne.

They followed behind, neither too close nor too far.

Upon arrival at their destination, Uncle Li, along with Attorney Wang and Attorney Sun, were waiting in the duty room.

The young police officer pressed down on Jian Yu's shoulder, preparing to take her directly into the interrogation room.

Just then, the office door next door suddenly opened.

Two elderly detectives with gray hair walked over and blocked his way. "Xiao Zhou! We're taking over this case now. Gather the information and hand it to us."

Xiao Zhou was clearly taken aback. These two were renowned crime-solving experts in the criminal investigation team, and they were in charge of major cases.

For example, serial killings...

Lu Han is currently only missing, which is far from enough to warrant the intervention of the two of them.

Could it be that some clue has appeared?

Lu Han didn't disappear; she was silenced by a series of assassins?

"Okay! I'll go get the documents."

After handing the documents to the two, Xiao Zhou pointed at Jian Yu and said, "We still need to interrogate this person first. She just went to a run-down neighborhood, claiming it was where the missing Lu Han rented. Isn't that a huge loophole? She said she had never seen Lu Han, yet she went there. She also gave us a business card for a plastic surgery hospital, saying that Lu Han would go there for plastic surgery to change her identity and live a different life."

The veteran detective said, "I understand."

Xiao Zhou's face lit up with joy. "Then hurry up and go in for the interrogation! Can I watch from the sidelines with the two seniors?"

This is a great opportunity to gain experience.

Uncle Li quickly stood beside Jian Yu, "Don't be afraid! They already know the details of the case and will believe you."

He patted Jian Yu on the shoulder, giving her a reassuring look.

Jian Yu then realized that the two elderly criminal police officers in front of him were brought in with the help of the Huo family.

Jian Yu was somewhat touched; the Huo family always helped her a lot.

Jian Yu grabbed Uncle Li's hand. "Uncle Li, don't worry. I was able to find Lu Han's address because she gave herself away and was captured by the street surveillance cameras, which I then saw."

Xiao Zhou said, "There is no trace of Lu Han at all on the street surveillance cameras."

They've thoroughly reviewed the surveillance footage, but there's no one there.

Jian Yu let out a sneer and, to Xiao Zhou's astonishment, took out a portable hard drive.

"There are downloaded street videos here, which can prove how I found Lu Han."

He casually plugged it into the computer in the duty room.

The next second, a familiar figure appeared on the screen.

"Isn't this your mother?"

Xiao Zhou pointed to Qi Yuexi in the surveillance footage and asked.

"I found Lu Han by following my mother's whereabouts."

What does that mean?

The video was sped up, but Qi Yuexi's image was marked with a red circle for easier viewing.

"Stop...look here..."

Jian Yu pointed to the corridor near the mall restroom entrance and said, "See this cosplayer? Pink afro and half-skull mask, wearing a miniskirt and a short cape..."

Xiao Zhou looked shocked, "This is..."

I can't believe it.

They just saw it.

Soon Qi Yuexi appeared, carrying a rather large tote bag. She went into the bathroom and came out again shortly after.

Five or six minutes after she left, the cosplayers also came out.

The cloak was tied a bit off-center; the corner of the tote bag that had been peeking out just now was completely covered by the cloak.

She then left the mall and hailed a taxi.

I sat down right at the entrance of the old, run-down neighborhood.

The roadside surveillance camera happened to capture the moment she paid.

Cash was used.

Xiao Zhou, "..." This doesn't really mean anything, does it?

The scene changes---

Playing in reverse---

The cosplayers walked backwards from the mall entrance, eventually disappearing at a street corner anime costume shop.

The camera moves forward rapidly.

It's been twenty minutes.

Then freeze-frame.

Xiao Zhou stared wide-eyed. There was nothing there. Why did he stop?

Then a figure appeared on the narrow glass wall on the opposite side---

At the same spot where the cosplayer had just disappeared, a person wearing a blue-gray casual jacket, a baseball cap, and a mask walked into the house.

The tote bag she was wearing was the same color as the one carried by the cosplayer.

And the eyes she looked back into were exactly the same as those in Lu Han's photo.
