Chapter 665: Chapter 423: Horror! [Double Chapter, Please Vote!]

Among them, the KTV is one of the venues with the peak flow of people!

And because there are so many people, and they’re here to ’play’, naturally illegal activities increase.

Porn, gambling, drugs, porn is the most rampant!

"Among them, Zhao Jie was involved in illegal prostitution."

"The Decadence Club KTV... is one of the most upscale venues in Upper City, apart from regular people, there’s also a group of either rich or noble individuals that come here."

"Therefore, the selection of staff is very strict."

"First is appearance, the women who can act as drink companions here are none of them ugly, with a change of outfit during the day, they’re the ’goddesses’ the outside world would never dare to imagine!"

p.m.

In front of a brightly lit KTV that exudes decadence and temptation, Xu Liang looked at the blurred neon lights and slowly spoke.

This is the Decadence Club KTV.

It’s also the place where Zhao Jie worked before she disappeared!

"The wealthy come to play, the beautiful come to accompany, and with alcohol... it’s easy to imagine what will happen between the two."

Xu Liang slowly spoke.

Involved in places like these, it’s hard not to involve porn; it’s not that it can’t be managed, but the shop owners themselves are indulging, even helping to solicit prostitution!

Of course, Xu Liang does not intend to manage this; he just wants to solve the case.

"Let’s go in."

Xu Liang casually said, then took the two people inside.

Li Tao was a bit nervous; he also brought a police baton inside, keeping his hand on his waist, ready to act and run at any moment.

"Tap, tap..."

The KTV hall was very bright, with gold and white decor overall.

Upon hearing footsteps, the receptionist looked up and saw a handsome man walking towards her, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She was just about to say something but unexpectedly, the person in front of her suddenly raised his hand to show a certificate and spoke:

"Lawyer Xu Liang, responsible for handling the ’Zhao Jie’ case."

"Bring out your manager, I need to legally inquire about some related events from him." ℯℯ𝑙.

Looking at the receptionist, Xu Liang spoke gently.

Law... lawyer?

Is the KTV involved in a case?!

The receptionist was stunned, instinctively saying:

"Who is Zhao Jie?"

The manager can’t just come out for a sentence, at the very least, substantial evidence is needed.

However...

"You don’t know Zhao Jie!?"

Yang Ruoxi behind her exclaimed in surprise, instinctively said.

Then her gaze swept to the sides of the hall, seeing women dressed flamboyantly, clearly KTV staff, waiting for people as she said:

"How about you guys?"

Upon hearing the voice, a few paused, turned to look towards the source.

Seeing a woman even more beautiful than themselves, their brows furrowed, instinctively showing hostility, but still spoke:

"Don’t know."

"Haven’t heard."

"Who is this? Man or woman?"

Including the receptionist, everyone denied it outright.

Don’t know... Haven’t seen...

How could it be!

Because, although KTV organizes prostitution, they fear fatalities, so they clearly know exactly who in the store is prostituting, prohibiting taking guests out privately unless to a designated hotel, they are quite detailed in itinerary management.

Let alone a name, mutual recognition is basic among them.

Xu Liang instantly sensed something amiss, brows knitted into a knot.

"When did you start working?"

The receptionist replied: "Last month... What’s up?"

Last month, which is October, coincidentally, in October... was when Zhao Jie was discovered missing!

"You all came last month?" Xu Liang asked again.

The receptionist nodded, "Yes, seems there was some management problem, so the boss simply fired everyone and recruited a new batch."

Zhao Jie had an incident, indeed indicating management issues.

Rehiring is also quite reasonable.

But...

"Coincidence?"

"All the old employees are gone, meaning it’s hard to contact anyone who knows Zhao Jie, can’t get information from before August 24th, when Zhao Jie disappeared..."

Xu Liang furrowed his brows, a glint of contemplation in his eyes.

Very coincidental, the death of beggar Old Chen was also very coincidental.

One event is coincidental, but two overlapping... Xu Liang believes it’s no coincidence!

"There’s a problem!"

Xu Liang’s eyes narrowed, no longer questioning, he directly instructed the receptionist to call the manager.

He has this authority, after all, it’s a criminal case, making the other cooperate in the investigation is legally acting.

Clearly, the manager understood this principle too.

So about five minutes later, the other rushed to the scene.

"Hello, hello, I am the manager of Decadence Club, my surname is Sun."

A somewhat plump, slick-looking middle-aged man, came towards Xu Liang with a smile, flattering him as he walked.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

Xu Liang nodded, straightforwardly said: "What’s going on with Zhao Jie?"

Manager Sun upon hearing this, contemplated for a moment, said:

"Zhao Jie? We don’t have anyone... Oh, oh, I remember, it’s about that incident in October, right."

"What we should’ve told the police has been made clear, the last time Zhao Jie came to the KTV was on August 24th, she left work as usual that day and wasn’t seen the next day."

"We truly don’t know where she is."

Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Manager Sun’s face.

But Xu Liang heard something else, furrowed his brows and asked: "You’re not the previous manager?"

Manager Sun said, "Of course not."

"Such a big incident happened, the previous manager resigned and left long ago."

Upon hearing this.

Even a fool realizes something’s wrong.

Xu Liang turned and glanced at Li Tao, then at Yang Ruoxi.

The three did not speak, exchanging glances for a moment.

Clearly, someone is attempting to scatter the case information... But it can still be investigated.

Just need to check who gave the order to hire!

"Manager Sun, may I ask who... dismissed the old manager?" Xu Liang probed inquiringly.
