Chapter 256 King Kong Barbie
Xia Lili couldn't help but wonder: "Who did Zhou Ruoxing come here secretly to meet?"
Li Qihan pointed Xia Lili in a direction: "First, investigate those who were close to her at this fashion dinner."
"good!"
Xia Lili quickly prepared to pull Pei Qinyue to start the action.
Li Qihan seemed worried: "I have contacted the coast guard and sent the nearest coast guard over."
Xia Lili scratched her head. Aren’t the coast guard closest to them the Qin Chaoyang and his team who had just left in the afternoon?
Could it be that we are meeting again?
This is really a case of the the first time being unfamiliar.
Xia Lili first notified all security personnel on Emerald Island to pay attention to air control and look for a lady wearing "Fei Yu Liu Guang".
Xia Lili sent the styles of Zhou Ruoxing and Feiyu's gilded earrings to the communication groups of various security personnel.
Then, she and Pei Qinyue took the concierge's booklet and began to take inventory in Pei Qinyue's lounge.
Pei Qinyue took the list and glanced at it.
He couldn't help but frowned: "It's strange that Ms. Zhou Ruoxing's husband came to this fashion dinner."
Xia Lili suddenly became curious: "What does Zhou Ruoxing's partner do?"
Pei Qinyue frowned slightly, his expression showing a hint of deep thought: "Zhou Ruoxing's identity is not simple - she is the jewel in the crown of the real estate tycoon Zhou family. As for her husband Guo Zekai..."
He paused, a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "He is the son-in-law carefully selected by the Zhou family."
Pei Qinyue picked up the teacup, the steam blurring his vision. "Guo Zekai is 1.85 meters tall, a top student at Cambridge Business School. He's handsome but comes from an ordinary family. He's the perfect candidate to marry into a wealthy family."
The teacup made a crisp sound as it fell back onto the table.
"After Mr. Zhou passed away," Pei Qinyue couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. "Guo Zekai did manage the Zhou family's assets very well, and they received a lot of dividends every year. But..."
He drawled out his words meaningfully, "The Zhou family's core assets have always been firmly in Zhou Ruoxing's hands."
After listening to Pei Qinyue's words, Xia Lili roughly understood the situation.
At this point, Pei Qinyue suddenly sat up straight, a sharp glint in his eyes: "The most bizarre thing is that this man who is known for doting on his wife rarely even shows up for serious business activities."
"He made a rare appearance at the fashion dinner that Zhou Ruoxing was absent from. If he said it was to expand his network, that's understandable."
He sneered, "But a CEO who's so busy with his work is actually joining in on this purely entertaining mask party tonight?"
"According to common sense, he should be on a transatlantic conference call at this time."
Xia Lili's eyes glared at the words, and she tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly with her fingers. "According to statistics, spouses account for as much as 70% of homicides."
She narrowed her eyes slightly. "This perfect husband is indeed worth investigating."
She picked up the intercom and instructed the Deputy Director of Security, "Pay attention to the movements of guest Guo Zekai and report his real-time movements to me."
The two continued to flip through the list, and the sound of pages turning was particularly clear in the silent room.
Xia Lili suddenly closed the roster with a slight sound.
"We can't keep wasting time like this." She frowned, her fingertips stroking the edge of the roster. "The most urgent task is to find Zhou Ruoxing and catch the murderer."
Xia Lili's eyes became solemn, and her voice was filled with suppressed anxiety: "If I miss this opportunity tonight..."
She bit her lip unconsciously. "The murderer is likely to attack Zhou Ruoxing again. By then..."
"He will definitely be more cautious, and we may really be powerless to do anything."
Pei Qinyue scratched his hair frantically. "Why is the Pei family so unlucky? If it weren't for you this time, I would have lost everything on this cruise."
At this time, Xia Lili's phone rang.
It was Qin Chaoyang’s phone number that I had saved before.
She quickly answered the call.
Qin Chaoyang's voice on the other end mixed with the whistling of the sea breeze: "Officer Xia? I'm Qin Chaoyang, and I'm in charge of this crime prevention incident."
Xia Lili immediately asked seriously, "Officer Qin, where are you now?"
Qin Chaoyang's voice was steady and powerful: "I expect to arrive at the scene in 90 minutes."
He paused, his metallic voice carrying a professional calmness. "We carry the latest model of drone signal tracker, capable of capturing and reversing the operator's electromagnetic signal source in real time."
"Wow, it's great to have advanced equipment here!"
Xia Lili was delighted. The various commercial and entertainment facilities in Emerald Bay were already very mature, but there was no special police station or police substation, let alone this kind of investigative equipment.
The coast guard department has to deal with all kinds of maritime crimes and has complete investigative facilities.
Xia Lili was looking forward to this reinforcement.
However, having equipment to detect the operator's remote control signal is not enough.
The drone had to appear in front of them to give them the opportunity to track the signal.
Xia Lili's eyes fell on several masks placed on the coffee table in Pei Qinyue's lounge. They seemed to be prepared for tonight's mask party.
Suddenly, a plan came to her mind.
"How about we try to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Pei Qinyue raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Xia Lili casually picked up a feather mask from Pei Qinyue's lounge and put it on her face: "I will also participate in the masked ball, and wear Ms. Lu's pair of Fengqi Wutong earrings, and appear on the terrace where Ms. Lu is supposed to be."
Pei Qinyue had just heard Xia Lili talk about "calculating" the scene of Ms. Lu's life-or-death crisis, and he froze in his tracks: "But you'll be in danger!"
His tone suddenly turned serious: "Drones are very fast. If they lock onto you and hit you, it's no joke."
Xia Lili's face tightened as she said seriously, "I'm different from Ms. Lu. I foresaw the danger in advance and took precautions."
"Ms. Lu fell from the building because she was too panicked."
She added: "Besides, I can calculate my own life and death. When I go to the terrace later, I will hold the mirror... I will just calculate it for myself."
Pei Qinyue still looked worried. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is a fashion dinner hosted by my family, how about I put on a mask and the Fengqi Wutong earrings, dress up as a woman, sacrifice myself, and lure out the snake."
Xia Lili almost spit out her tea.
"Are you sure?"
Xia Lili took in Pei Qinyue's 1.86-meter height and asked, "Are you sure the killer won't notice anything unusual?"
"I looked at Ms. Lu's and Zhou Ruoxing's information. They are both about the same height, one is 168cm and the other is 170cm."
Xia Lili frowned and complained, "You're way off!"
"When a man dresses up as a woman, he looks just like a Barbie doll."
