"What I mean is that if the kidnappers think about this, the bathroom is not used frequently in summer, but they want Miss Ning to go to the bathroom and jump into the trap that has been set, what methods will they use?" Lu Ming said
.
Zhang Ziyang was stunned and did not answer. This question really stuck with him.
"If you were a kidnapper and set the women's bathroom as a trap, and you had to let Miss Ning go to the bathroom alone, what would you do?" Lu Ming asked further.
Zhang Ziyang thought for a long time and said with a wry smile: "What can I do? I can't think of anything. This kind of thing is just luck. If Miss Ning goes to the bathroom, then kidnap her. If she doesn't go, then don't do anything for the time being."
"Is it possible to tamper with the drinks?" Lu Ming asked.
"The drinks were tampered with? Are you talking about drugging them?" Zhang Ziyang understood.
"Yes, diuretic drugs. There are many of them, and they are not difficult to get. If you drink a drink mixed with this kind of drug, you will need to go to the bathroom very quickly, and you will not have time to wait for sweating and metabolism." Lu Ming thinks this is possible.
Great sex.
"Then only Paramount staff can take action. Is this possible?" Zhang Ziyang frowned.
"There is a possibility that this is a complete plan, including the arrangement by the American, to let him entangle Mingzhu so that Mingzhu cannot accompany Ning Xiner to the bathroom." Lu Ming reasoned.
"So, those who kidnapped Miss Ning should be people from Paramount, but why would they do this?" Zhang Ziyang said he couldn't understand.
"It is impossible for Paramount to be involved in the kidnapping incident, but Paramount employees may have been bribed to serve the kidnappers. Find out whether anyone from Paramount resigned after the kidnapping incident, who resigned, and why.
I understand." Lu Ming said.
Lu Ming is relatively familiar with the situation of entertainment venues in Shanghai. Paramount is very well-known and was jointly established by several major Shanghai gangs.
This entertainment venue is a gold-selling den that only cares about making money. It has no political purpose and is not inclined to any force.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go right away and find out what's going on tonight." Zhang Ziyang said and stood up.
Lu Ming also had this idea, and the two immediately drove to Paramount, but saw that the neon lights in front of Paramount illuminated the square in front of the door as bright as day, and the parking lot was full of vehicles.
In front of the main gate of Paramount, there are people and cars intertwining, and it is very lively. It is no different in front of the department store.
Lu Ming was stunned. Although he didn't come to Paramount very often, he still knew the operating conditions of Paramount. Why did so many people come to dance today?
The two walked over and inquired, only to find out that there was a song and dance performance at Paramount tonight, and everyone was waiting to enter to watch the song and dance.
Lu Ming said in surprise: "When did Paramount start having singing and dancing performances? It seems that the business is getting bigger and bigger."
Zhang Ziyang shook his head and said he didn't know either.
In the eyes of ordinary citizens, Paramount is not a good place. It is a paradise for the rich and a gathering place for gangsters. It is a place where filth and people live in misery and indulge in extravagant life. Many girls are lost there.
This is the business that Paramount does. There are beautiful dancers here to accompany people to dance. If the customer and the dancer reach a private transaction, Paramount does not interfere and does not charge a commission, but the transaction must be completed in another place.
Any problem has nothing to do with the dance hall.
The dancers who accompany the dancers here earn a lot of money, because the people who come to Paramount to dance are rich or expensive, and they tip a lot.
However, dancers only live for their youth, and they all want to make a fortune in a few years and earn back all their money for the rest of their lives, so most of the dancers here also work part-time in other businesses.
Lu Ming chatted with a man who looked like a young master who was watching at the door. When they talked about the secret of Paramount, the man shook his folding fan and said mysteriously:
"Brother, don't you know? The little princess of the Cao Gang was kidnapped here a few days ago. I don't know who the ruthless person did it. How dare you do it. So everyone said that Paramount is not safe.
Many people didn't dare to come, so in order to attract people, Paramount put on a song and dance show, the kind where you wear very few clothes..."
Lu Ming couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect Paramount's taste to drop to this level.
However, a vicious kidnapping case occurred in Paramount, which was indeed a catastrophic public event for them, and it is normal for their popularity to drop.
A consumption place cannot guarantee the personal safety of customers, which is a big taboo for merchants. Why should people come here to spend money and risk themselves?
Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang watched at the door for a while and planned to enter. The doorman quickly stepped forward to stop them. Zhang Ziyang showed his police officer ID. When the doorman saw it, he quickly bowed and saluted to let them in, and arranged for someone to accompany them.
.
After the two entered, they found that there were already people dancing inside. They stepped forward and asked a person wearing a waiter uniform: "There are people dancing tonight. Didn't they say there was a song and dance performance?"
The waiter bowed and smiled and said: "Mr. Hui, this is the ballroom. Guests dance here. The guests who come to watch the song and dance performance are in another hall."
"Oh, in addition to the dance hall, do you also have a performance hall?" Lu Ming asked.
"Two gentlemen, our performance hall was originally a place for training dancers, but now it has been transformed into a performance hall." At this time, a man dressed as a manager came up and took over the conversation.
"The dancers at Paramount need to undergo training before they can work. This is the first time I heard about it." Lu Ming was a little surprised and smiled unconsciously.
"Of course, we want to provide the best service to our guests, and the dancers we provide must of course be the best in Shanghai." The man said proudly.
"The service is top-notch, how come I heard that a guest was kidnapped not long ago?" Zhang Ziyang said coldly.
The man suddenly stopped talking, and after holding it for a long time, he said: "Inspector Zhang, what happened that time was indeed an accident. Fights, jealousy, competition for dancers, etc. happen quite often here, but vicious cases like kidnappings,
This is the first time I’ve met him.”
This person knew Zhang Ziyang. After Ning Xiner disappeared, Zhang Ziyang made notes on everyone here, so basically everyone in Paramount knew him.
The man brought Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang to the general manager's office. After he knocked on the door and entered, he introduced Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang to the general manager.
"Master Lu, why are you here? It's really a rare visitor."
When the general manager saw Lu Ming coming in, he rushed to greet him, and even ignored Zhang Ziyang, the detective of the Shanghai Police Department.
This confirms the truth that the God of Wealth is popular no matter where he goes and will not be ignored.
"Why am I here? Shouldn't I be here? My friend was kidnapped here. Shouldn't I come and take a look?" Lu Ming said coldly.
The general manager met Lu Ming twice. The two of them were not very familiar with each other, but he knew Lu Ming's situation well.
When running docks and doing business in Shanghai, you must be aware of the situation of the leading figures in all walks of life. Things will not change, especially if you open an entertainment venue, you will always have to deal with rich people.
Lu Ming was originally a second-generation rich man. He knew that there was such a number one son in Shanghai and didn't care too much. But now that Lu Ming is the leading figure in the Fuxing Society, he doesn't dare to neglect him at all.
If the Fuxing Society really wants to find trouble in a certain public place, instead of asking you to close the place, it will send a few spies to inspect it every day, which will scare away all the customers.
When Lu Ming mentioned the kidnapping case, the general manager became anxious. This incident had already had a certain impact on Paramount's business.
"Master Lu, no one would have thought of such a thing, and we don't want it to happen." The general manager said with a sad face.
"That's right. After that incident, the number of people dancing here has dropped by more than half." The manager who accompanied us said with a wry smile.
"If this case is not solved and the person is not found, the stain on Paramount cannot be eliminated." Zhang Ziyang also looked very unhappy.
"There is nothing we can do about this matter. Of course we have responsibilities. If Master Lu is here to negotiate compensation, we will accept whatever compensation he asks us to make." The general manager said, spreading his hands.
"Compensation? Can Miss Ning's life be measured in money? Even if you sell Paramount, it won't be enough to compensate you." Lu Ming said sharply.
"That's it, that's it." The general manager looked at Lu Ming with a pitiful look on his face.
He also knew that Lu Ming was not here to talk about compensation. If he was talking about compensation, he would not come to him, but to the people above him.
However, he was also afraid that if this matter was not resolved, sooner or later the Cao Gang would send people to harass him or even retaliate. If the Cao Gang people came to cause trouble every day, Paramount would have to close down.
