Since Tan Tao kept this invitation so well in his temporary residence, does it mean that he has the intention to participate?
But this kind of cocktail party that requires an invitation letter has many industry elites as participants. How did Tan Tao get the invitation letter?
Among the people who have had the most contact with him recently, there must be people related to the case. Is there some connection among them?
After thinking for a while, Chu Wuzheng put the invitation letter back on the table and tapped it.
"Do you want to take a look?" Chen Kerong suddenly said.
"Hey, are you a fortune teller?" Chu Wuzheng said and smiled.
"I'll go with you."
Chu Wuzheng was a little surprised when Chen Kerong suggested this. After all, she had never been interested in crowded places and rarely participated in bureau activities.
"I know this place and have heard of this cocktail party." Chen Kerong picked up the invitation, looked at it, and explained.
Chu Wuzheng looked at her for a few seconds, then nodded. "Okay."
After Chen Kerong changed her clothes, the two went out together.
"How did you know today?" Chu Wuzheng asked on the way to the parking lot.
Chen Kerong walked forward without turning her head to look at him. "Isn't it written on it? I saw it just now."
The banquet was held in the banquet hall of a hotel in the north city center. The decoration inside was splendid and too luxurious to be true. It looked like the organizer had spent a lot of money.
"Did your hospital organize it yourself?" Shen Shiyu asked.
"No." Lu Bai replied with a smile. "It was organized by an investor. He donated a lot of equipment to our hospital."
"Is he a patient who has been treated in your hospital?" Shen Shiyu asked curiously.
"Anonymous." Lu Bai raised his hand to guide her. "This way please."
The air conditioner inside was on full blast, so after walking a short distance inside, Shen Shiyu was almost sweating, so he took off his coat and handed it to the waiter.
Looking at the figure reflected in the glass next to him, Shen Shiyu recalled that he had not carefully observed the clothes on his body.
When she first got it, she just scanned it.
"That's it, it's pretty good," she said.
It's not that she doesn't know the goods, but she was in the mood to choose clothes at that time.
Lu Bai had really good taste. That dress looked smooth and bright, and it matched her figure so well that Shen Shiyu couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The warm-up time passed quickly, and next came the much-anticipated mask dance.
This scene, almost all of which were attended by a man and a woman, became lively after a while, and the picture was very cheerful. Wearing masks was also an idea planned by a few young people. The colleagues who always sit in the office have not relaxed for a long time, and they all like it very much.
Various.
The music played on the stage was soothing, and many people hugged each other and entered the dance floor.
When Chu Wuzheng came in, the warm lights in the banquet hall were dimmed. He took a quick glance and found that there were neither too many nor too few people inside.
Since the decision this time was relatively hasty, it would definitely be impossible to conduct a large-scale search, so Chu Wuzheng decided to focus on observation to see if there were any suspicious characters.
But who knew that they were going to Misty Wind? How ridiculous is this?
Chu Wuzheng almost wanted to go home and sleep.
"Wu Zheng." Chen Kerong suddenly called him.
When Chu Wuzheng looked over, he noticed that her eyes were staring straight at somewhere in front of her, but she quickly turned to him.
"Do you know why I came?"
"Why?" Chu Wu argued.
Chen Kerong smiled. "Because this is a banquet held at my brother's place of work, I'm here to join in the fun."
"Damn, no wonder." Chu Wuzheng chuckled twice and looked at the crowd in front of him as he walked. "Which one is it?"
"He...should be dancing."
After Chen Kerong finished speaking, she brought him a drink from the nearby table.
Chu Wuzheng took a sip, held it in his hand, and continued to look at the men and women passing in front of him.
"What does your brother do?"
Chen Kerong paused. "He is..."
After the song ended, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly turned on, and people on the dance floor walked to the side to rest one after another, holding hands.
The people around him spoke kindly, and seemed to have good communication skills when chatting enthusiastically, but there were few faces that could really be seen clearly. Chu Wuzheng silently withdrew his gaze.
As he turned around, someone suddenly bumped into his shoulder.
Chu Wuzheng almost spilled the drink in his hand, and the other party's mask also fell off.
"Sorry, don't go." A soft female voice apologized to him.
Chu Wuzheng didn't mind. He lowered his body to pick up the fallen mask and handed it back to her.
The girl in front of him was in her twenties, and Chu Wuzheng thought she looked very familiar.
After the two looked at each other, he immediately remembered - this was the family member of the victim in the first serial murder case, Chen Li.
"Captain Chu..." Chen Li also recognized him and smiled uncomfortably.
"Why are you here?"
"My friend brought me here to play."
Chu Wuzheng could see that the unfinished excitement on her face was slowly fading away. He did not continue to communicate with her, but just nodded.
Then Chu Wuzheng saw her again, and she was sitting alone in the corner, drinking, looking at the crowd in front of her and smiling happily.
"Go back?" Chen Kerong asked.
"Aren't you going to find your brother?"
Chu Wuzheng was curious and didn't understand why Chen Kerong had an acquaintance here, but she had been following him since he came in, never leaving.
"Do you want to go back early? It's very late..."
He didn't hear what Chen Kerong said. What he noticed was a back figure not far away.
When Shen Shiyu turned around without wearing a mask, Chu Wuzheng saw her exquisite makeup, and then stared closely at the man in formal clothes standing next to her, the frown between his eyebrows getting tighter and tighter.
In fact, according to Chu Wuzheng's character, he should directly step forward to snatch people away now.
But when he thought of Chen Kerong beside him, he restrained himself. After all, this was his brother's place. If he made a fuss here, the impact would be bad.
But he was so angry inside that he had to pretend to be a normal person on the surface. It was really uncomfortable, so Chu Wuzheng walked to the side, picked up a glass of wine, and poured it into his mouth.
Chen Kerong stopped him. "You came by car."
Chu Wuzheng couldn't care less, so he raised his head and drank the cup upside down.
"Call a driver." He said after taking a few sips of wine.
Chen Kerong glanced at the direction he was looking at just now and said nothing.
Most of the people in the banquet hall were in suits and leather shoes. Chu Wuzheng, who was dressed casually, looked very out of place, so he easily attracted attention.
Shen Shiyu quickly discovered him and walked over on his own initiative.
She said hello to Chen Kerong first, and then asked Chu Wuzheng, "How did you know I was here?"
Chu Wuzheng lowered his eyes and looked at the dress that was tightly wrapped around her body.
"I have no idea."
"Then why are you here?"
Chu Wuzheng was silent.
Shen Shiyu knew that he was still angry, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"I am doing a favor to my friend today, I..."
Lu Bai followed up with brisk steps, and when he got closer, he took off his mask.
A pair of eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but their eyes were full of concentration. They looked like a beast dormant in the grass on the eve of hunting. The elite among them seemed silent but also obvious.
