Mysterious country

"Nothing, just asking."

Naturally, Xia Xia Qi would not tell the truth to Zhao Huifeng on this kind of matter. When Zhao Huifeng saw that Xia Xia Qi did not say anything, he directly changed the topic:

"This is the only bad thing about South Beach. When it rains, it's a heavy rain, and it has to last for a while before it stops. If you want to go out later, don't hold an umbrella. There are raincoats in the cabinet."

In Xia Qi's view, the best thing about Zhao Huifeng is that he never interferes too much in the affairs of their juniors. It's not that he doesn't worry, but that he thinks they have the ability to bear it or do something.

After all, he also comes from that age group, and there are many young people in the company, so he understands young people very well.

After hearing what Zhao Huifeng said, Xia Qi chuckled, while Zhao Jingshu quickly clarified:

"A raincoat is enough because I'm not going out."

After leaving Zhao Huifeng's villa in a raincoat, Xia Qi walked west along Fengling Road in front of the villa.

He searched carefully while walking, and after spending about 10 minutes, he finally found No. 32 Fengling Road at the intersection of Fengling Road and Laiyang Road.

No. 32 Fengling Road is just like Zhao Huifeng's villa. It is also a sea view villa, but the location is slightly different.

The square, two-story villa had a glass surface that was washed away by rain and was blurred, making it difficult to see clearly what was going on inside.

The door of the villa was slightly opened, and it seemed that it was not locked. Xia Qi felt that it was not an absolutely closed incident.

Chu Mengqi provided him with very little information, so if he wanted to know what was going on, he had to go first and get a feel for the situation.

In addition, before he left, he also asked Zhao Jingshu to check if there had been any death cases in South Beach recently.

After all, according to the past rules, as long as an incident occurs, it will inevitably be accompanied by death. So far, there have been no exceptions.

Although it looked like he walked into the villa casually, in fact Xia Qi had already made preparations in his heart. The black dagger was already in his hand, covered by his long raincoat.

The villa was very quiet, and not even the slightest sound could be heard. Xia Qi walked to the door of a room on the first floor, and then knocked tentatively.

"Is anyone here?"

After knocking for a while, Xia Qi heard a series of slow footsteps in the room. He took two steps back and saw a man in his 30s leaning out half of his body.

"Who are you?"

Wang Bin thought it was someone from the company, but when he opened the door, he saw an unfamiliar face.

"I'm a police officer from a nearby police station. I just received a report that a murder occurred here."

After Xia Qi finished speaking, he took out his work permit from his arms and waved it symbolically in front of Wang Bin's face, which was full of surprise.

"You...what did you just say? I didn't understand something."

"I said I just received a report that a murder occurred here."

Xia Xia Qi repeated it patiently.

"impossible!"

Wang Bin immediately denied it and said:

"You must be mistaken."

"We don't rule out the possibility of false or wrong reports, but this is No. 32 Fengling Road, right?"

Xia Qi didn't worry too much about whether Wang Bin believed it or not. After all, his reasons were made up casually.

"Well, this is it." Wang Bin did not deny this.

Seeing Wang Bin admitting that this was No. 32 Fengling Road, Xia Xia Qi changed the subject and said:

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"sure."

"Does this villa belong to you?"

"It's not mine. This is my boss's villa. I and several colleagues were arranged by the company to travel here."

Wang Bin didn't dare to hide anything and said matter-of-factly.

"Besides you, how many people are here?"

"In addition to me, there are 8 people, because there are 9 of us here in total."

"When did you move in?"

"last night."

"Then have you ever seen anything...I mean something weird or difficult to understand?"

After Xia Xia Qi finished speaking, his eyes began to become deeper and he stared into Wang Bin's eyes without blinking.

"A weird thing? It probably... probably didn't happen."

Wang Bin didn't know why, but he inexplicably remembered what Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei had said to him in the afternoon, so he couldn't help but feel a little knotty when answering.

"What do you mean it didn't happen? That means something did happen here that is hard for you to understand, right?"

Xia Xia Qi directly trapped Wang Bin in.

Hearing this, Wang Bin quickly shook his head and explained:

"No, no, nothing happened. I don't know why you asked that."

"I told you the reason when I first came here. Someone reported a case to us not long ago."

Xia Qi once again mentioned the reason why he came here.

"There must be a mistake. I've been here all day. If something really happened here, there's no way I wouldn't know about it."

Wang Bin was still emphasizing that nothing happened here, and it was impossible for anything to happen.

Xia Qi was already a veteran in investigating incidents, so naturally he would not listen to Wang Bin's words. At this time, he glanced at the room next door, and then asked Wang Bin:

"Is it convenient to call out those colleagues of yours? I have some questions to ask them."

"Well, that's no problem. I'll call them now."

Perhaps he wanted to send Xia Qi away quickly, so Wang Bin acted very readily in this matter. After nodding in agreement, he ran directly to the next door to call out Lu Yang and Xue Qiang, and then walked quickly ran upstairs.

It didn't take long for Wang Bin to call everyone in the villa to the lobby on the first floor.

Xia Xia Qi counted the number of people, and then he pretended to be puzzled and asked Wang Bin:

"Why are there only 7 people? Didn't you tell me before that there are 9 people here in total?"

"There are indeed nine people here, but... two of them are not in the room, and I don't know where they went."

When Wang Bin said this, he heard him ask other people:

"Which of you knows where Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei have gone?"

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know. At this time, Xia Qi added:

"It's raining so heavily outside. I don't think a normal person would run outside under normal circumstances, right?"

Hearing Xia Qi's words, Wang Bin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. After all, if something really happened to Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei, then his responsibility in the company would be huge.

"Maybe I went to the supermarket."

Wang Bin couldn't find any reason to explain, so he could only ask others again:

"Do you really not know where Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei have gone?"

This time, everyone still shook their heads in unison.
