She raised her wine glass and left with a clattering sound in her high heels.
However, what others didn't see was that after Qi Jiu came out from the corner, she exchanged pleasantries with everyone and then disappeared from the celebration banquet.
When the director looked for her again, she was nowhere to be seen.
As night fell, a gentle breeze blew by, its cool touch on her face diminishing the smell of alcohol on her.
She pulled out her phone from somewhere and held it to her ear, "President Qi..."
A moment later, a black Maybach appeared in front of her, and with a long stride, she disappeared into the night.
In the KTV, which was as lively as a celebration party, the girl wore a suit that was too big for her, and a faint minty scent lingered in the air.
She pushed open the door to a private room.
The room, which had been filled with singing and bustling with activity, fell silent the moment the newcomer appeared.
Despite the many gazes upon her, Qi Jiu remained calm and composed, observing Jiang Yu in the crowd with a professional smile.
"Young Master Jiang, would you like to talk?"
The girl smiled brightly, and Jiang Yu was stunned the moment he saw her. Then, feeling the cheers around him, he came to his senses.
"Oh, here it comes."
Jiang Yu left the private room, "Beautiful lady, you..."
Qi Jiu ignored her and walked towards another private room in her high heels. Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then followed her as if he were bewitched.
This was an empty private room. No one was singing or drinking. The lighting inside was not dim, and there was only a fruit plate on the table.
There were only the two of them in the entire private room.
Qi Jiu's long, slender legs crossed and overlapped, and with the help of high heels, her legs looked even whiter and longer.
"Miss, you were looking for me..."
The girl's smile remained bright as she pulled out an investigation warrant from inside her suit jacket and also took out a voice recorder.
"Young Master Jiang, please cooperate with the investigation in accordance with the law."
Looking at the black and white words on the paper in front of him, Jiang Yu felt a huge sense of disappointment: "..."
Why do the words on this paper look redder and redder the more I look at them? And more and more righteous?
He thought this pretty girl was trying to flirt with him; he deserved to die!
"Um... what do you want to know?"
Time passed, and after a long while, Qi Jiu turned off the recorder on the table.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Jiang Yu looked at Qi Jiu, who was getting up to leave, and asked anxiously, "Excuse me, may I have your contact information?"
"Can't."
Before the girl could answer, the door to the private room was pushed open, and when she looked up, a tall figure appeared in the doorway.
As the outline became clearer, Jiang Yu recognized the person at the door.
Qi Silin, the young master of City A who wields absolute power.
"Young Master Qi..."
Looking at the man's shirt and trousers, she seemed to understand something and suddenly looked at Qi Jiu.
The suit jacket on this young lady's shoulder looks like Young Master Qi's. Could it be that their rumored affair is true?
So, what did he just say? Did he flirt with Qi Silin's people?
Public Security Bureau, Technical Department.
Chongyu stared at the surveillance footage in front of him, his head throbbing. "All the evidence points to Jiang Shang, but he's not lying; he really does have an alibi."
So, the clues have disappeared again?
Qi Jiu didn't say anything, but pulled him up from his seat in front of the monitor and sat down in it herself. She carefully watched the monitor once, and then paused it by pressing the space bar a second time.
"Here, the actors have changed. A fake is a fake; no matter how much they act, it's not real."
On this day, Liu Yan's case was made public, and as everyone learned of it, the murderer was also apprehended.
As a result, Weibo crashed, and various software programs were reporting on this series of cases.
It turns out that Jiang Shang, who put on a show in front of others, was actually a serial killer. As for why he murdered two actors, it can only be said that he was unrequited love, which led to his mental illness and his subsequent extreme behavior.
"What do you mean? So, Feifei didn't commit suicide due to depression? She was murdered?"
"One scumbag ruined two people, I'm speechless. This kind of person should be sentenced immediately! Liu Feifei and Liu Yan are such good people!"
"What is this person thinking? They're already so rich!"
"..."
Qi Jiu looked at the headline highlighted in red on Weibo, along with the tens of thousands of reposts and comments, and silently turned off her phone. She looked at Xu Feng, who looked exhausted, and smiled slyly.
"I've closed the case for you. Remember your promise: I need to see the document within seven days. Otherwise, I'll come knocking on your door."
Looking at the smiling He Shan Xu Feng in front of him: "..."
If he had known he would end up with such a troublesome person, he would never have chosen her in the first place.
"Big sister, I just got back from my mission and haven't slept for days."
Qi Jiu shrugged. "What does this have to do with me?"
Xu Feng: "..."
What an inhuman bastard!
"knew."
Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Shen Group.
Shen Cimo looked at the message pushed to his phone, his well-defined fingers tapping lightly on the table.
Is this why Qiqi joined the crew? The little girl is quite smart.
But... why would the police come looking for her with such a big case?
"Knock knock knock!"
"Mr. Shen, it seems that Miss Qi has run into some trouble."
In the coffee shop, Qi Jiu hung up the phone, her expression somewhat impatient.
"W-what's wrong?"
Looking at her expression, Xu Feng went through the events of the day in his mind. He couldn't think of anything he had done to offend her.
What's wrong with her?
Are you angry? Is it too late to run away now?
"It seems we're surrounded by reporters."
How could she forget that the movie she filmed before was already released these past few days? The online backlash was initially unfounded, but now it's getting increasingly serious.
"us?"
Xu Feng looked around warily. He was an Interpol agent, after all. Did the reporters know his identity? Or...?
Qi Jiu paused, then, as if resigned to her fate, said, "It's me."
The main entrance is now inaccessible.
At the A City Public Security Bureau, Qi Jiu's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the entire police station. The officers looked at her like dogs seeing a bone, and they swarmed around her in a flash.
"Miss Qi!"
"Miss Qi!"
They didn't know what the rumors were about, nor did they care. But what they did know was that it was this Miss Shen who had solved their department's problem.
Even Young Master Qi's contribution is not as great as this young lady's.
Knowing that Qi Jiu had arrived, Lin Chuan put down what he was doing and went to greet her.
"Miss Qi, oh my, what brings you here? Or have you fallen in love with the feeling of solving cases?"
Lin Chuan grinned lewdly, his smile seemingly saying, "Stay, stay!"
The police officer next to him: "..."
As the captain of the criminal investigation team, can you take back this worthless appearance?
