100: Chapter 100 The Gold-Eating Beast
Lu Chengfeng heard this, looked down at his police uniform, and felt a bit embarrassed.
"Ahem!"
He coughed twice and laughed, "You little guy actually has a talent for solving cases. After you graduate, have you considered becoming a police officer?"
"I'm studying economics, but I'm planning to go to graduate school... um... for a master's in psychology."
"There's no chance for me to become a police officer; my major doesn't match."
"No! You can take the civil service exam. You could even do administrative work. On the surface, you'd be making posters and handling new media."
"But in reality, you'd be a master at playing the pig to eat the tiger!"
"And if the two of us team up, we'll be like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, becoming a legend in the police world!"
Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, seemingly feeling very humorous.
"Uh... forget it. Although I quite like a stable life, but... I've encountered some situations recently."
"It's better to be a bit more free."
Lu Chengfeng, who looked like a hip-hop singer a second ago, suddenly changed his expression.
He said seriously, "As I thought, you are definitely connected to those missing students."
"Is there a secret organization threatening you, telling you that if you speak out, they will kill you?"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here." Lu Chengfeng patted his own chest.
"No one will dare to touch you. Behind you and me stands a powerful motherland."
"Uh..."
"Even without you, the motherland is still by my side."
It was 1 AM. Chen Mo had originally intended to go back and sleep in.
However, he discovered that after his level increased, his sleep time seemed to have shortened.
He was like a night elf; he could sleep for 5 minutes and then be active for two hours.
The two of them came to a lounge bar.
They pushed open the wooden double doors in front of them.
They sat on the rotating wooden chairs in front of the bar.
The atmosphere was quiet and elegant, the lighting soft and warm.
It illuminated every corner just right without being dazzling.
Music flowed slowly through the air, the melody melodious and soothing, revealing an ambiguous atmosphere while soothing your soul.
At the same time, it easily stirred the hearts of young people.
The bartender was busy behind the bar, skillfully mixing various exquisite drinks.
Colorful cocktails shimmered with charming light; each glass seemed like a work of art.
"Boss, give me another Mojito!"
A young man with dyed green hair came up beside Chen Mo and scanned the QR code.
"Ding! Alipay has received 30 yuan!"
"30?" Chen Mo couldn't help but swallow when he heard this number.
30 yuan was already equal to 3 meals. Damn it, Chen Mo suddenly wanted to slip away.
Chen Mo usually only researched content he was interested in.
Apart from the production process and principles of alcohol, he had never researched specific categories and prices.
"Don't worry! My treat. I checked your background; you're a guy who needs to be self-sufficient." Lu Chengfeng teased.
"What do you want to drink?" Lu Chengfeng asked.
"Whatever, as long as it tastes good, and don't make the alcohol content too high." Chen Mo replied.
Lu Chengfeng held up two fingers, "Brother, give us two Black Beauty Fizzes!"
3 minutes later.
Two glasses of alluring cocktails were served up.
The glass was slender and cylindrical.
From bottom to top, it displayed different shades in order.
The bottom layer was deep black, exuding a mellow scent.
The layer above was purple, and the top was a milk foam snowy cap.
Before even drinking, Chen Mo knew that once this stuff went down, it would definitely be potent.
Base liquor, lemon, and syrup were the main melody, paired with sparkling water and ice cubes, which could accelerate the volatilization of alcohol in the body.
This was also why cocktails clearly had low alcohol content.
But they could quickly make people enter a state of drunken dreams and death.
Many young girls were lured to bars, first attracted by the brightly colored drinks, then added with some scoundrel's instigation and brainwashing.
After that, a few glasses in a row, and their heads would immediately start spinning.
The next step was to add some white powder or something, which was very easy.
Because the world in your eyes had already been divided into 4 parts!
Chen Mo seriously suspected that Lu Chengfeng's suggestion to come to the bar had an ulterior motive.
He wanted to get him drunk and do something bad.
However, Chen Mo wouldn't let him get his wish. Although Chen Mo's alcohol tolerance wasn't great.
But at this moment, his physical fitness was far superior to ordinary people.
This cocktail was just like plain water to him.
So...
One glass, two glasses, three glasses...
"Stop! If you keep drinking alcohol like plain water, my quality of life for this month will have problems."
Lu Chengfeng immediately stopped Chen Mo, this gold-swallowing beast.
"Let me tell you something serious. If you help me settle this, I can consider helping you solve your case." Chen Mo suddenly spoke up.
Lu Chengfeng heard this and immediately became interested.
"Tell me!"
"10 years ago, my parents were in a car accident, which caused them to pass away."
"But in reality, my parents didn't die because of a car accident; they were related to the disappearance of those students."
"So... if you can get the relevant information about my parents from the archives room."
"We can analyze it together, and maybe you can find clues to the students' disappearance."
Lu Chengfeng heard this and touched his chin.
He thought, "In other words... actually your parents also went missing, just like your classmates."
"That's right, I want to know the truth."
"Of course, just my parents' disappearance case alone might not be enough to find the mastermind behind the scenes."
"But if we combine it with another case, it's highly likely that both of us will be happy."
"Another case?" Lu Chengfeng's brows furrowed.
"10 years ago, there was an arson case at No. 18 Hospital. It was done by the former dean of No. 18 Hospital."
"The reason he started the fire was related to the students' disappearance. However, he was different from them; you could say."
"He was doing it to actively disappear!"
Lu Chengfeng was a bit excited for a moment and slammed his fist on the table.
It scared the group of young people next to them, making them shrink their necks.
Originally, they had planned to trick the two pretty girls opposite them into a small hotel tonight.
But it turned out a police officer had come.
"Buddy, even if you want to come and have fun, can you change places? I, damn it, am seeing someone come directly in a police uniform for the first time!"
"Haven't you noticed... since you walked in, the number of customers has decreased a lot."
Lu Chengfeng put his police cap back on and immediately stood up.
He said, "Leave it to me. I will definitely find a way to get those two files."
"Let's go, I'll take you back in the police car!"
"Don't!" Chen Mo quickly raised his hand to stop him, "I'd better walk back myself."
No one did things like this. Not only wearing a police uniform after work, but even driving a police car.
With this kind of style, you are simply tipping off the criminal suspects in advance.
"The police are here! The police are here!"
"Thanks, Officer Lu. If you hadn't come to warn us first, I'm afraid we would have been in the station tonight."
"Brothers, let's change locations quickly!"
