Last year, the night of November 22nd.
The heavy snow had just stopped, and the road was silver.
Feeling the unusual cold, Zoya wrapped her long down jacket tightly, crossed the road from the crosswalk, and walked toward the Victory Hotel opposite.
The weather was cold, and there were few people. Only a few cars occasionally passed by on the road.
Because of the repeated rolling of the car on the shoulder of the road, the snow melted and mixed with the dust, forming an unbearable mud. After freezing, it was frozen into an ugly shape.
Zoya did not go to the main entrance of the Victory Hotel. Instead, she went around the main entrance and went to a small path in the back that led to the parking lot.
After entering, she went along a hidden path in the parking lot, and came to one of the back doors of the hotel.
The back door was locked. She came to the door, looked inside through the glass, and began to knock gently.
Her hand knocked on the glass, but it did not make much noise, but there was a quick response from inside the door.
With a sound of metal, the two glass doors staggered open a gap. Although the gap was small, it was enough for the slender Zoya to squeeze through.
The weather was cold, and Zoya did not want to take off her down jacket, so she wrapped it tightly again, and then lowered her head, wanting to squeeze through the gap, just like she had done many times before.
However, just as she lowered her head, an arm stretched out from the inside, blocking in front of Zoya's face.
Then, a delicate and young face appeared from the crack of the door.
"Tasia, what are you doing?" Zoya was surprised, raised her head, and asked in Russian.
"I said, call me Eliza!" The girl behind the door said nervously in Russian, "Zoya, I'm sorry, I can't let you in again!"
"Why?" Zoya looked unhappy, "Is there a checkup today?"
"No," Eliza said, shaking her head, "I thought about it carefully, I can't let you in again! I'm sorry … "
"Please," Zoya said coldly, "Do you think I gave you too little?"
"No, it's not about the money," Eliza said hesitantly, "Our goals are different. Why I came to Manchuria, you know it best! I don't want to ruin everything for the little money you gave me! "
"Sh * t, what are you talking about?" Zhuo Ya panicked. "We're just taking what we need. I've already said that if I'm caught, I'll never betray you. What are you worried about?"
"No … No …" Eliza said. "There are so many surveillance cameras in the corridor. If someone were to investigate, they would definitely find me here!
"The guest list is absolutely private. If I'm found out, I won't just be fired, I might be held criminally responsible!"
"You … What's wrong with you?" Zhuo Ya asked. "What do you want?"
"Zoya," Eliza burst into tears, "let's not meet again, shall we? I came to Manchuria in order to change my life. I don't want to go back to those dark days! "
"You …" Zhuo Ya seemed to understand something. "You're in love and found a boyfriend, right? Like … like Ksenia? You … "
"Don't say it, don't say it," Eliza cried even harder. "I'm sorry, Zhuo Ya. Ksenia's case is too terrible. I … I don't want to end up like her …"
"When did you become so sentimental?" Zhuo Ya said angrily. "I told you, that has nothing to do with us. It was the dancing woman who did it. It must be her!
"That day when we were drinking, she took our mobile phones …
"Can't you see? She's jealous. When she's drinking, when she's dancing, it's all jealousy! "Zhuo Ya said, gritting her teeth." That must be her doing. It has nothing to do with us! "
"Why …" Zhuo Ya cried. "Why did it become like this? Although we've made mistakes, do we really not have the right to pursue happiness forever? Woo woo …
"Zhuo Ya, I'm sorry. I think … let's not meet again! Woo woo … "
Crying, Eliza closed the glass door with a click.
"No, no, no …" Zhuo Ya tried to pull the door a few times, but it didn't budge. She then shouted anxiously in a low voice, "Tasia, Tasia, open the door for me. You want your happiness, I want my money … Hey, hey …"
When she found that the door was completely locked, she slammed the glass door angrily and cursed.
When she realized that Zhuo Ya wouldn't open the door for her again, she left angrily.
Before she left, she looked up at the hotel again, but when she saw that most of the hotel rooms were lit, she felt even more uncomfortable.
So, after walking out of the hotel, she immediately reached out to hail a taxi.
The driver asked her where she was going.
Zhuo Ya replied in broken Chinese, "Bar! The nearest … "
…
Time went back to the present.
In the office of the Special Investigation Group.
"Team Leader," Zeng Ke reported to Zhao Yu. "We've found out about Gwayyer. His Chinese name is Ge Bing, and he's a famous entrepreneur in Hila. According to the information, he's unmarried."
"Thirty-eight years old, unmarried, entrepreneur," Cui Lizhu said, sticking out her tongue. "A typical bachelor! Is he … very ugly? "
"Here … This is the photo!"
As Zeng Ke opened the photo, he saw that Ge Bing had a handsome appearance, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. Not only was he not ugly, but he was also a handsome man!
"What the …" Cui Lizhu exclaimed. "Does he have some kind of defect?"
"Anyway, he's not disabled," Zeng Ke said. "There's no medical record!"
"Then … Where is he?" Miao Ying asked. "Still can't contact him?"
Zeng Ke shook his head and said, "His mobile phone can't be located. We're currently trying to contact his family! Um … Wait a minute … "
While they were talking, Zeng Ke received the latest message.
"Oh … Something's wrong!" After seeing the latest message, Zeng Ke's expression became nervous. "This person's phone hasn't been used for more than two months. There are only calls in the communication record, and none of these calls have been connected!"
Zeng Ke then said, "And … His debit records haven't been touched for more than two months!"
"What?" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened. "Is he missing? Or did he run away?"
"No … No one reported him missing …" Zeng Ke quickly checked the records.
"Zeng Ke, look at the last time he withdrew money from the bank. How much did he withdraw? If he withdrew a large amount of cash, then he most likely ran away! "
"No …" Zeng Ke answered without hesitation. "Previously, there were some electronic transfers, ranging from a few thousand to ten thousand … But, there has never been a large withdrawal of cash!
There are at least two million in his bank cards. If he ran away, it's impossible that he didn't withdraw it … "
"Zeng Ke!" Zhao Yu said. "Open his call records and find the number that has called him the most. Let's ask him about the situation!"
"Oh …" Zeng Ke immediately understood what Zhao Yu meant. He quickly found a number that had called Ge Bing many times in Ge Bing's call records.
"Let me do it!"
Wu Xiumin took a step forward and volunteered.
After Zhao Yu agreed, Zeng Ke immediately dialed the person's phone number.
