Chapter 227: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 227: Misunderstanding?
The elevator door opened, revealing a man wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. He held something behind him.
Ao Zhao felt that the man's attire was peculiar and subconsciously stepped back to let him in. However, as he entered, the man took out something from behind him and swung it directly towards Ao Zhao!
What the heck!
Is that an axe?!
In broad daylight, Ao Zhao had never witnessed such behavior. It was terrifying!
The sudden and swift action caught him off guard. He watched as the axe came down, but beside him, Jiang Chenchen bravely blocked it with her suitcase!
The axe, with its blade shining, struck directly at the suitcase.
In the originally stuffy and narrow elevator, a hint of coolness unexpectedly emerged. Ao Zhao turned pale with fear, but the girl who bravely faced the axe made him feel ashamed!
The man with the axe hesitated for a moment but continued his actions, intending to retrieve the axe and attack again.
There was a sense that today, neither of them would escape death.
While the axe-wielding man retrieved his weapon, Jiang Chenchen, holding the suitcase, turned and kicked toward him. Although he reacted quickly, he didn't anticipate the girl's faster response. It was as if she had predicted his next move and acted in advance, thwarting his intentions!
In this narrow space, swinging the axe wasn't easy, and it was susceptible to her interference. However, due to the chaos and slashing, the elevator buttons were accidentally hit, and the doors couldn't close for a long time!
This directly led to a system error in the elevator, triggering the alarm system.
The man with the axe changed his expression. He couldn't afford to waste any more time; he needed to break free. However, Jiang Chenchen wasn't going to let him leave her sight. This person might be crucial to the missing person case!
As she pursued him, a shot was fired from the darkness, hindering her chase!
Another accomplice?
The gun was equipped with a silencer, firing two shots that narrowly missed her. She was almost hit. To avoid being pursued by the person with the gun, Jiang Chenchen gave up the chase and went back to let Ao Zhao out. Together, they took another elevator down.
At least the suitcase in her hand wasn't snatched away.
After they descended, the security team arrived. Jiang Chenchen explained the situation, mentioning the presence of a gun. Most of the security team went upstairs, leaving two people to escort them to a secure interview room.
The suitcase was taken for analysis to check for bloodstains, and the results hadn't come out yet.
Before long, the man in the trench coat arrived, escorted by two security guards. He spoke with a serious and indignant tone, "Let me tell you, they are the ones illegally robbing. They are the ones who should be detained! I'll find a lawyer to sue you for being unprofessional and wrongly accusing innocent people once I get ashore!"
The captain of the security team looked at him sternly. "Wrongly accusing you? What about the money in the suitcase?"
"Take it overseas to play, isn't that none of your business?"
"Why is there a smell of blood in the box?"
"Who said that?"
"Don't play dumb. The results will be out soon, and we'll see if you can still act tough!"
"Oh~" The man in the trench coat suddenly smiled, transitioning from a serious demeanor to something a bit ridiculous. "I suddenly remembered. I put pig liver in that suitcase."
"What did you say?"
"Pig liver, fresh from the market, brought it on board. Is that not allowed?"
The captain of the security team's face darkened. He stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar, threatening, "I warn you, tell me the truth! Don't play any tricks!"
"The fact is just like that. Why resort to violence?" The man in the trench coat's face turned sinister, appearing more aggressive compared to his physique.
At this moment, another security guard entered and called the captain outside. They went out for a while.
At this moment, a security guard entered and called the captain of the security team outside. They seemed to be gone for a while.
Subsequently, the captain returned with a grim expression and walked up to the man in the trench coat, looking at him sternly. "The two on the fourth floor are your accomplices; you can't leave."
The man in the trench coat angrily retorted, "Nonsense! I have no accomplices at all! Are you guys engaging in illegal detention? I'm telling you, once I get off this ship, I will make the law punish you for what you're doing!"
"Why were you on the tenth floor at 3 AM yesterday?" the captain questioned.
"Drank too much and went the wrong way. Is that not allowed?"
"Very well, detain him."
The captain of the security team, without hesitation, had him locked up.
Jiang Chenchen found it strange. Could it be that the bloody smell from the suitcase wasn't human blood, as the man claimed it was pig liver?
She asked the captain of the security team, who nodded with an unpleasant expression.
"This seems like intentionally playing with people. Normal individuals wouldn't do such things," the captain said, looking at her. "Both of you need to be careful; because the person on the fourth floor hasn't been caught, and they have a gun, you are in danger."
"Since there are armed individuals, we should conduct a floor check. They must have a room as a base, and searching there might yield some discoveries."
"You don't need to handle this. Leave it to us. I'll assign two people to escort you back. After that, don't come out. I'll have someone guard your room from outside."
Feeling compelled to comply, Jiang Chenchen went back. However, when they were leaving, the security team found some items in the man's room, including a magazine with Sheng Mingsi's face scratched out. This was the second magazine! Moreover, this time, the entire face was heavily damaged!
Inside the magazine was a newspaper clipping.
It reported the discovery of the young man found outside the residence of the A country prince—the one that Zhan Chen had picked up and placed in the morgue.
The captain of the security team asked her to leave, and Jiang Chenchen felt a sense of chaos in her heart. Could this incident be related to Zhan Chen again?
Everything felt off.
But was the man in the trench coat targeting Sheng Mingsi?
"Captain of the security team, can you give me a chance? I want to ask that man if he did this to the magazine!" she pleaded.
The captain of the security team didn't want to reveal too much information, so he dismissed her inquiries. "Please go back and rest. We're handling this; trust us."
Seeing that he disagreed, Jiang Chenchen asked again, "Then let me ask one last question: Where was the magazine found?"
Before, when she was in the man's room and had a scuffle, she had surveyed the surroundings but didn't see the magazine anywhere. Unless it was placed under the sofa, similar to the previous incident.
The captain of the security team thought for a moment and signaled for the investigating officers to tell her.
"It was on top of the sofa."
Hearing this, Jiang Chenchen felt something was wrong. There was no magazine on the sofa; at that time, the man in the trench coat chased her out, and he couldn't have run back to place the magazine on the sofa.
Someone must have taken advantage of the situation, entered his room, and put the magazine on his sofa to create confusion?
