    Chapter 8: Roommate Zhao Chengxi

    West Street Station in Kun City.

    “Captain!” A crew cut shouted as he ran in from outside.

    Zhao Chengxi, who was studying case files, was interrupted, very dissatisfied, and slapped the file hard.

    “What’s the matter? So rash!”

    “Captain, when we were investigating a case today, we found a group of people also checking the surveillance!”

    Zhao Chengxi raised his eyebrows, swiveled his chair, and faced the crew cut.

    “Are they investigating the same case as us?”

    “Not exactly! We’re investigating a theft case, they seem to be investigating a missing person case!”

    The crew cut picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water from the ground, unscrewed the cap, and took a few gulps.

    “Missing person case? Has it been reported?”

    The crew cut wiped his mouth and shook his head. “No, but I glanced at the person they were looking for, guess who it is?”

    He was actually being coy!

    Zhao Chengxi was very dissatisfied, glared, and kicked towards the crew cut, who dodged with a “whoosh.”

    “Speak!”

    “It’s Jin Baiyan, the General Manager of Jin Corporation, your roommate, Captain!”

    As soon as he said this, Zhao Chengxi stood up instantly, the teasing between his eyebrows vanished, and his eyes became sharp.

    “Who did you say?”

    “Jin Baiyan, your roommate! I’ve seen a photo of you two together!”

    Zhao Chengxi turned, picked up the phone on the table, found the “Baiyan” tag, and pressed the dial button.

    A mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone.

    Not giving up, he dialed again, still the same, and he threw the phone on the table.

    “Xiao Li, did you ask who those people were?”

    “No need to ask, I know them, it’s Xiao Feiwu, the security manager of Jin Corporation!”

    “Xiao Feiwu?”

    “Yes!”

    Zhao Chengxi walked back and forth in the small office.

    “Okay, go and find out what’s going on at Jin Corporation today? Then check the whereabouts of Jin Baiyan’s younger brother, Jin Mo. And where have Xiao Feiwu and the others investigated?”

    “Okay, I’ll go right away!” Li Boxiao, who was called Xiao Li, responded cheerfully, turned and left the office.

    Zhao Chengxi put his hand on the table, lowered his head, thought for a while, quickly stood up, grabbed the car keys on the table, and hurried out.

    It was almost six o’clock when Jin Mo returned home.

    Xiao Feiwu and two of his associates also returned quickly.

    They had been busy all day without eating properly, and were starving.

    Butler Jin brought out the food.

    “Eat first, we’ll talk after!”

    “Okay!” Xiao Feiwu plopped down on a chair and started drinking from the water glass on the table.

    Huzi and Xiao Ping followed suit, making the same movements.

    Jin Mo was too hungry to feel hungry, only feeling flustered, short of breath, and a little tired.

    Outside Camphor Garden Villa, Zhao Chengxi rode his motorcycle over and stopped in a hidden corner that was good for surveillance.

    He squinted, watching the people eating in the living room, his teeth chattering.

    “Hello!”

    “Captain, Jin Corporation changed its General Manager today!”

    “Who was it changed to?”

    “Jin Mo, Jin Baiyan’s younger brother! But, Jin Mo didn’t go to the company!”

    “Where did he go?”

    “According to surveillance, he went out at eight o’clock in the morning, first went to Dr. Luo’s Office, came out half an hour later, stayed in the car for twenty minutes, and then went to eight private clinics.”

    “Eight clinics?”

    “Yes, all private clinics, specializing in mental and psychiatric illnesses!”

    “What did he go to those clinics for?”

    “I asked, he went to check Jin Baiyan’s medical records!”

    “Baiyan’s medical records?” Zhao Chengxi’s tone suddenly rose, “What was the result?”

    “At the first seven, he stayed for less than ten minutes at most and came out, there should be no records. At the last one, Ruikang Clinic, he stayed for almost an hour.”

    “Ruikang Clinic?”

    “Yes, I’m contacting the person in charge of this clinic!”

    “Okay! What about Xiao Feiwu’s side?”

    “The situation on his side is relatively simple. Following his steps, we found out that the day before yesterday at ten o’clock in the morning, Jin Baiyan went to Xin Service Station on Garden Road, picked up a package, then entered the underground garage of the mall, and never appeared in the surveillance again!”

    “Check those cars that came out!”

    “Yes, Xiao Feiwu and his team are also checking these cars, but after all, they don’t have a legitimate reason to check, so they’re moving much slower, we’ll be faster than him!”

    “Work overtime tonight! Check!” Zhao Chengxi put out the cigarette in his hand, “Call me if you have any news!”

    “Yes, Captain!” Li Boxiao responded cheerfully, then asked cheekily, “Captain, this is a side job, will there be any practical rewards later!”

    Zhao Chengxi “hmph”ed, “Okay, I’ll treat you guys to dinner later!”

    “Thank you, Captain!”

    After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chengxi sat on the car seat, staring at the people in the living room not far away.

    In the living room, Jin Mo, Xiao Feiwu and the others had finished eating, and Butler Jin was clearing the table.

    “Tell me, what have you found?” Jin Mo took a sip of water, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Xiao Feiwu.

    “Of the 128 cars that left the garage, we roughly divided them. 82 private cars, 13 trucks, and 33 taxis.”

    After speaking, he pushed the notebook Huzi handed over to Jin Mo.

    “These are the license plate numbers of all the cars, as well as the exit times.”

    Jin Mo took the notebook and glanced at it from top to bottom.

    “Check the taxis first, then the private cars, and finally the trucks. As for the time, check the cars before midnight the day before yesterday first.”

    He said as he counted, “With this division, the number of cars is only 58.”

    “That’s what we thought too. The three of us, plus the five hired people, a total of eight people, checked ten cars today, and found nothing! What about you?”

    “I…, I found Ruikang Clinic, and found my brother’s medical records from two and a half years ago, but he only went for more than a month, and then stopped going!”

    Jin Mo sighed, “This clue only tells us the possible reason for my brother’s disappearance, it doesn’t help us find him!”

    “You can’t say that, maybe, Baiyan contacted other hospitals?”

    Jin Mo was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

    “No! At least in Kun City, there shouldn’t be a second one!”

    “Why?” Xiao Feiwu disagreed, “Maybe he thought this one wasn’t good, so he changed to another hospital!”

    Jin Mo put his hand on the table, pinching the edge of the notebook, thinking for a moment.

    “Based on my understanding of him, when he knows his condition, he won’t go to the hospital again! First, he’s afraid that his condition will be leaked, affecting Jin Corporation’s stock price, and second, so that I don’t notice, he definitely won’t choose a clinic in this city!”

    “So, you guess, he should have sought medical treatment in other cities!”

    “Since he wants to hide, it’s naturally impossible to choose this city, he will definitely choose a farther, more remote one, a clinic or sanatorium that is not easy to find!”

    “That’s right! Otherwise, there’s no point in him hiding!” Xiao Feiwu nodded, holding his chin. “In this city, it would take some time, but he could be dug out. There’s no difference between him hiding and not hiding!”

    Huzi and Xiao Ping nodded in agreement.

    “Sleep in the guest room downstairs tonight, continue tomorrow morning!” Jin Mo returned the notebook in his hand to Huzi, then stood up and walked upstairs.

    “Hey, are you going to sleep so early?” Xiao Feiwu shouted towards Jin Mo’s back.

    “I’m exhausted today, I need a good rest so I can continue tomorrow!”

    “That’s right!” Xiao Feiwu nodded, “I can fall asleep almost as soon as I touch the bed now!”

    “Me too!”

    “Let’s go, wash up and sleep!”

    Jin Mo walked slowly up the stairs, passing by the door of his room, his footsteps did not stop, and he walked directly towards his brother’s room!
