secret chat room

Zhuang Xie pressed the phone number on the note and dialed it. After a moment, he put down his phone and looked at Hu Yan.

"How about it?"

"It's an empty number."

Hu Yan frowned and looked back at the bald employee who was still not far away.

"How about you give him a good beating?"

...

Seeing Hu Yan approaching with an unkind expression, the employee felt a little bad for no reason.

"What...what happened?"

"You sold me a name and phone number for five hundred yuan. Is the number still empty?"

Zhuang Xie, who had taken a few steps forward to follow him, was stunned and turned to look at Hu Yan.

Oh, it turns out this is your powerful ability to persuade people.

Hu Yan caught a glimpse of Zhuang Xie's movements out of the corner of her eye, and deliberately turned her head as if she hadn't seen him. However, she looked at the bald employee with an even more unkind look, and slapped the table and glared.

"Isn't this money hot to your hands? A name can be sold for five hundred?"

"This... this is also a willing to call and a willing to suffer... What's more, I don't know that this number is empty! I have never called! Can you blame me for this?" Baldhead

Seeing Hu Yan aggressively launching an attack to accuse him, he knew he was in the wrong, but he still kept his mouth shut.

"This..." Zhuang Xie looked at the employee card on his bald chest, "Mr. Huang, right?"

The bald man turned over his employee card in vigilance, "What are you looking at! The money is clear! I gave you the information I know, and the rest is none of my business!"

Zhuang Xie smiled gently, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang. I remember what you just said, your company strictly prohibits the leakage of internal information, right? If we go inside and yell about the exhibition information you sold us..."

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the office, "What do you think will happen?"

The bald man looked at the two of them blankly, saying, "You guys are here to fish."

In fact, this is not a big deal. The leakage of personal information is already commonplace, so even though the company has explicit regulations on this, not many people actually take it to heart.

It's just the truth, but if the two people in front of me go into the office out of common sense and make this matter public and say that they are paid to sell information, and they are embarrassed in front of their colleagues, I will inevitably be there.

Having a meal in front of your boss is a shame.

Thinking of this, the bald man reluctantly put his hand into his pocket and took out the five hundred yuan that had not been covered with heat, "Hey! I don't want this money anymore, you..."

"You can still accept the money, but we want more detailed information." Hu Yan also came to her senses at this time and ran out to make a fool of herself.

"I've really told you! Comic Expo COS is not an event with a particularly high threshold. Generally, you can enter by paying money and filling out a form. What's the point..." Baldhead also defended helplessly.

"Hey! Wait! Show me the photo again!"

As the bald man was talking, he seemed to have thought of something and took the cell phone handed over by Hu Yan.

"Hey! This girl seems to have some impression! She has participated in the comic exhibition held by our company more than once!"

Under the coercion and inducement of Zhuang Xie and Hu Yan, Baldhead had to seriously search for his own memory.

"Can you recall more detailed information? For example, address, etc.?"

The bald man still shook his head, "Why do we need people to provide their address when we hold a comic exhibition? No!"

Seeing the two men staring at him, the bald man didn't dare to tell the truth directly.

"But I know there is a makeup girl who follows makeup! That makeup girl should know this little girl. I can give you the makeup girl's contact information!"

Makeup girls generally refer to girls who put on makeup in the COS circle. Generally, more professional Coaplayers have more regular off-site makeup girls.

Finally something was gained.

After walking out of the company's door, Hu Yan remained silent.

Zhuang Xie, who was standing next to him, didn't pay much attention, but said something seriously.

"Actually, money-making ability also comes from ability."

"Um."

"Still powerful."

"Um."

"Five hundred for a name is really a bit expensive."

Hu Yan paused and said, "Have a good time! Stop talking, okay!"

After saying that, he started walking a little faster and angrily.

Zhuang Xie, who followed closely behind, pursed his lips and moved the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile that he was not aware of.

…

According to the phone number given by the bald man, the makeup girl was accurately contacted this time.

This makeup artist is a sophomore at a nearby university and is also a member of the COS circle. However, she rarely performs on stage and instead works part-time as a makeup artist.

The little girl received a call from Zhuang Xie and came out to meet him without knowing why.

"Ah! Are you looking for a gangster?"

After hearing Zhuang Xie and Hu Yan's questions, Zhuang Niang said with some surprise.

"What? Do you know her?"

"So... we know each other. But do you have anything to do with him?"

The girl looked at the two of them a little confused and wary.

Zhuang Xie and Hu Yan looked at each other, and Hu Yan turned to the girl and smiled gently.

"It's like this. We are teachers in her school. This is the counselor of Xiao Qian's grade. I am the assistant teacher of their class. Xiao Qian has not come to class for a long time, so we came here specially.

Looking for her."

Hu Yan was lying. The bald man from the animation company just now told a lot of information about Hua Lingqian in almost every detail after his defense was breached.

For example, one time Hua Lingqian participated in a performance at a comic exhibition. When the bald man was making arrangements backstage, he seemed to have heard Hua Lingqian and Zhuang Niang talking about their college roommates.

"Oh! That's it. So you are teachers at Tianwan University." The girl looked at Zhuang Xie, who was wearing glasses and was elegant, and then looked at Hu Yan, who had good looks and outstanding temperament, and didn't think much about it.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoqian hasn't come to see me for a while. The last time was probably at a comic exhibition more than ten days ago. As for what's wrong with him...I..."

The girl seemed a little hesitant.

"Girl, we are very anxious now. If we can't contact her again, we may have to call the police. If something happens to Xiao Qian, maybe the police will come to question you."

Hu Yan suppressed her smile slightly and said with some seriousness. The girl felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"He... you know, he is actually a little different in that aspect... As far as I know, he probably escaped because his roommate's girlfriend came to make a fuss and received criticism.

…”

Hu Yan glanced sideways at Zhuang Xie in surprise, but Zhuang Xie's expression remained unchanged as he answered.

"I know this, but now he has been absent from work for too long, and we are also worried about what he will do, so I want to ask if you know where he is?"

"I'm really sorry. He hasn't contacted me for a long time. But... he seems to have rented a rental house outside the school. I went there once when I came to do his makeup. I don't know if it was any use."

"Tell us the address first!" Hu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly handed over paper and pen from his bag.

…

"I almost didn't reveal my secret just now, but luckily you reacted quickly enough! Who knew Dahlia was actually a cross-dressing boss! Her name is not Hua Lingqian, but Hua Lingqian!"

After running around for a long time, he finally found the location where the other party was most likely hiding. Hu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little surprised.

Zhuang Xie nodded, without saying much, and finally solved the most difficult level. The two of them traced the source through some clues from surveillance cameras and photos, followed the clues all the way, and finally found the real owner.
