Last year, on the evening of November 22nd.
The heavy snow had just stopped and the road was silvery white.
Feeling the unusual cold, Zoya wrapped her long down jacket tightly, crossed the highway from the crosswalk, and walked towards the Victory Hotel on the opposite side.
It was freezing cold and sparsely populated, with only a few cars occasionally driving by on the highway.
Due to repeated rolling over by cars on the road shoulder, the snow melted and merged with the dust to form an unsightly mud. After freezing, it froze into an unsightly shape.
Zoya did not go to the main entrance of Victory Hotel, but bypassed the main entrance and went to a path leading to the parking lot at the back.
After entering, she followed a secret path in the parking lot 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 then began to knock gently.
Knocking his hand on the glass, it didn't make much sound, but there was a reaction inside the door quickly.
With a metallic sound, the two glass doors opened a gap. Although the gap was small, it was enough for the slender Zoya to slip in through.
The weather was cold, and Zoya didn't want to take off her down jacket, so she wrapped it tightly again, then lowered her head and tried to get in through the gap, just like she had done many times before.
However, just as she lowered her head, an arm came out and blocked Zoya's face.
Then, a delicate and young face appeared from the crack in the door.
"Tasia, what are you doing?" Zoya was surprised, raised her head and asked in Russian.
"I said, call me Eliza!" The girl at the door said nervously in Russian, "Zoya, I'm sorry, I can't let you in anymore!"
"Why?" Zoya looked unhappy, "Are there any inspections today?"
"No," Eliza shook her head and said, "I've 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 money," Eliza said hesitantly, "Our purposes are different. You know best what I came to Manzhou for! I don't want to give up my money for the little money you gave me. Everything is ruined!"
"Shit, what did you say?" Zoya was anxious, "We each get what we need. I said, if I am caught, I will never turn you in. What are you worried about?"
"No... no..." Eliza said, "There are so many surveillance cameras in the corridor, if anyone investigates, they will definitely find me!
"The guest accommodation list is absolutely private. If I am found out, I will not only be fired, but I may also be held criminally responsible!"
"You... what's wrong with you?" Zoya said, "What do you want?"
"Zoya," Eliza shed tears, "Let's not meet again in the future, okay? I came to Manzhou just to change my life. I don't want to live the dark days like before!"
"You..." Zoya seemed to understand something, "You are in love and have found a boyfriend, right? Just like... just like Kseniya? You..."
"Stop talking, stop talking," Eliza cried even more sadly, "I'm sorry Zoya, what happened to Ksenia is too terrible, I... I don't want to end up like her..."
"When did you become so sentimental," Zoya said angrily, "I told you, that incident had nothing to do with us, it was the dancing woman who did it, it must be her!
"When we were drinking that day, she took our cell phones...
"Don't you see it? She is jealous. When she drinks, when she dances, everything she reveals is jealousy!" Zoya gritted her teeth and said, "She must have done that thing and it has nothing to do with us. !”
"Why..." Zoya cried, "Why is it like this? Although we have made mistakes, do we really never have the right to pursue happiness? Wuwu...
"Zoya, I'm sorry, I think... we'd better not meet again in the future! Wuwu..."
Crying, Eliza closed the glass door with a click.
"No, no no..." Zoya tugged a few times, but did not pull, so she growled anxiously, "Tasia, Tasia, open it for me, you want your happiness, I You want my money... Hey, hey..."
When she found that the door was completely locked, she slapped the glass door angrily and cursed.
When she realized that it was impossible for Eliza to open the door for her again, she left angrily.
Before leaving, she looked up at the hotel again, but seeing that most of the hotel rooms were lit, she felt even more uncomfortable.
So, after walking out of the hotel, she immediately reached out and stopped a taxi.
The driver asked her where she was going
Zoya said in blunt Chinese: "Bar! The nearest..."
…
Time turns back to the present.
Inside the special task force office.
"Team leader," Zeng Ke reported to Zhao Yuhui, "we have found out the specific situation of this Gevoyer. His Chinese name is Ge Bing. He is a famous entrepreneur in Hela. According to the information, he is unmarried. .”
"38 years old, unmarried, entrepreneur," Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "a typical diamond king! Aren't you... particularly ugly?"
"Here...this is a photo!"
As Zeng Ke opened the photo, he saw that Ge Bingsheng was handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Not only was he not ugly, he was also a handsome man!
"I guess..." Cui Lizhu exclaimed, "Is it...does he have any flaws?"
"Anyway, he's not a disabled person," Zeng Ke said. "There are no medical records on the file!"
"What about... the person?" Miao Ying asked, "Still can't be contacted?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke shook his head and said, "The mobile phone cannot be located, and we are currently contacting his family! Um... wait a minute..."
While talking, Zeng Ke received the latest information.
"Ouch... Is there something wrong?" After seeing the latest message, Zeng Ke's expression became nervous, "This person's phone number has not been called for more than two months, and the communication record only shows incoming calls. And... none of these calls were answered!
"Also..." Zeng Ke added, "His transaction records have not been touched for more than two months!"
"What?" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened, "Is this... missing or running away?"
"No... no one reported missing..." Zeng Ke quickly checked the records.
"Zeng Ke," Ran Tao reminded, "look at the last time he withdrew money from the bank. How much did he withdraw? If it was a large amount of cash, he probably ran away!"
"No..." Zeng Ke replied without hesitation, "The previous ones were all electronic transfers, ranging from a few thousand to ten thousand... but there was never a large amount of cash withdrawn!
"He still has at least two million in these bank cards. If he runs away, there is no way he won't take it..."
"Zeng Ke!" Zhao Yu said, "Open his call history and find the number that calls him the most. Let's ask about the situation!"
"Oh..." Zeng Ke immediately understood what Zhao Yu meant, and quickly found a number that had called Ge Bing many times from 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 this person's phone number...
