Chapter 128 Finding the Corpse
Xu Yaobai turned to look at him again, shook the phone in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you should explain it to the police. I recorded the whole thing, and I don't know how many victims I've been to."
The man's face changed drastically. He never expected there would be a recording. He felt like he had fallen into the other party's trap.
He glared at Xiao Lian beside him fiercely. He didn't know how she chose her 'prey'. She actually provoked a tough guy and now she was completely shooting herself in the foot.
As if afraid that the man would not believe that he had really recorded the video, Xu Yaobai unlocked his phone, found the recording, and pressed the play button.
The next second, Xiao Lian's voice came from the phone.
Xiao Lian's face turned pale, knowing that he had started recording the moment he knocked on the door. She hugged herself tightly and said quickly, "Brother Bai Yao, this is really a misunderstanding. Please don't call the police. It's my husband who rushed in without understanding the situation and didn't even give me a chance to explain."
She paused and continued, "I'll pay you back the money I owe you for the meal right now, and I'll give you a few hundred more. Let's just call this a thing of the past, okay?"
Zhao Heng sighed softly and said slowly, "Are you thinking of settling the matter for a few hundred bucks? If we hadn't come, would you have been prepared to beat someone to death?"
The man laughed awkwardly. "How could that be? I was just saying it casually, just to scare you. I wouldn't really do anything."
"Okay, we've already called the police in advance. If you have anything to say, just tell them." Pei Yuanzhi said.
The man couldn't hide his panic when he heard this. He put his hands together, shook them up and down, and begged for mercy, "Brother, I was wrong. We'll give you all the money we have. Let's just forget about it. We won't do it again!"
Xu Yaobai calmly turned off the recording on his phone. "Do you think we're short of the little money you have on you? Now that you know you're wrong, what were you doing before?"
“…”
The man had no choice but to turn to look at Xiao Lian beside him, signaling her with his eyes to try to persuade her.
Xiao Lian instructed, bit her lower lip, and cried bitterly. She walked forward and wanted to pull Xu Yaobai's arm, but he immediately dodged her.
Xiao Lian's hand stopped in mid-air and then dropped it awkwardly, saying, "Brother Bai Yao, please forgive us this time. We promise that we will never do such a thing again..."
Xu Yaobai raised his hand to interrupt what she was about to say, his voice slightly cold, "Alright, what's the point of you telling me? Just save what you've said and tell the police."
"When I was thinking of cheating me, I didn't expect it would be like this now."
Xiao Lian was speechless.
If she could have thought of it, how could she have cheated him?
In the end, no matter how much the man and Xiao Lian begged for mercy, Xu Yaobai refused to let them go, and all he got was the fate of being taken into the police car.
After the honey trap incident ended, Pei Yuanzhi and his companions left and returned to their rooms.
......
The other side.
After Li Zhi finished explaining to Xianyue, she returned to her room.
Thinking that she couldn't sleep because she had nothing to do and playing with her phone was useless, she simply walked to the single sofa chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down, turned on the musical note, and started the live broadcast.
Within seconds of the broadcast starting, hundreds of people flocked into the live broadcast room.
Li Zhi looked at the comments on the public screen and randomly picked a few to reply to.
Big Orange: [Good afternoon, Master Li. Why is there the ocean in the background outside your window? Did you go out for fun?]
Li Zhi: "Yes, we went to the beach."
Lala continued to talk: [Where is this sea? It looks familiar to me, like it's near us.]
Li Zhi: "In Hai City."
Yige Goudan: [Master Li went out to play, why didn't he keep broadcasting for a few days? He should have a good rest. He's too dedicated.]
Li Zhi: "I can't say I'm dedicated to my work, but I just happened to be free right now so I decided to open it for a while. So I won't open it tonight so everyone doesn't have to wait."
Jiang Tianshi: [What a coincidence, Master Li, I am also working in Hai City.]
Li Zhi noticed the comments from Master Jiang Tianshi, raised an eyebrow slightly, and replied, "Xiao Jiang, did the higher-ups assign you another mission?"
Jiang Tianshi: [No, no, I took a job privately. I just arrived in Hai City and am on my way to my employer's home.]
"Well," Li Zhi thought for a moment and invited, "I'll be here for a few days. When you're done, you can come and play with me."
Jiang Tianshi: [Okay, let’s contact each other via WeChat then.]
Li Zhi responded, "Yeah, okay."
After replying to a few more comments, Li Zhi saw that the live broadcast room was almost warmed up, so he started to get to the point.
"Ok, is there anyone in first place today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big carrot suddenly emerged from the ground on the public screen.
Radish sent Note No. 1 x1
Upon seeing this, Li Zhi immediately sent a video call request to the other party.
A handsome boy appeared in the lower right corner of the public screen, but his face looked a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he had not slept much.
Luobo raised his hand and pushed down the black-framed glasses on his nose. "Hello, Master Li."
Li Zhi nodded slightly, "Hello, what do you want to calculate?"
Luobo pursed his lips and said, "Master Li, I want you to help me find the body of my brother who drowned..."
oiio: [Oh my god, is the start this exciting? Zombie Brother comes on stage straight away!]
Jiangnan Yu Buding: [After watching so many of Master Li's suspenseful little cases, I've automatically felt that there's something wrong with this guy... Is that right...]
Acting cute and getting called a "faker": [This little brother doesn't look like that kind of person, and he's my brother, so don't automatically make it up. Let's see what Master Li has to say.]
Li Zhi: "Carrot, tell me what's going on first."
Luobo nodded. "Well, my brother got a girlfriend at the beginning of the year. It's a sister-brother relationship. They were very close until two days ago, when my brother discovered that his girlfriend had lied about her age. She was six years older than she actually was, and was already in her thirties."
"Actually, age isn't a big deal. The most important thing is that she's divorced and has a six-year-old daughter. She's been lying to my brother the whole time."
"After my brother found out the truth, he couldn't accept it and wanted to break up with her, but she refused and even threatened to commit suicide."
"She called my brother yesterday afternoon and said she wanted to see him. If he didn't come, she would jump off the lake."
"My brother was afraid she would do something stupid, so he rushed over. I was also afraid something might happen, so I followed her."
"When the woman saw that my brother wasn't the only one coming, she threatened me to go away. She only wanted to talk to my brother alone, otherwise she would jump right now."
