Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 273

In the morning, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were busy as they drove all over the place. They had lunch and then drove to Qiao Xuening's hometown.

During the four hour drive, Yu Hanjiang told Xiao Lou to sleep for a while but Xiao Lou wasn't sleepy. He reorganized the clues for the entire case in the car and recorded all the current doubts in his memo book.

It wasn't until 5 o'clock that they smoothly arrived at Qiao Xuening's hometown.

Qiao Xuening mentioned in her interview that her hometown was famous for its picturesque snow scenery. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came when it snowed yesterday. At first glance, the buildings were covered with snow while there were snow-capped mountains around the town. The edge couldn't be seen and it was like a beautiful scroll slowly spreading out before their eyes.

The snow scenery here was famous. Due to the snow, the cold air seemed much fresher than in the big city. The snow on the road made it slippery. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou had to be careful when walking. They parked the car and inquired with the locals for the location of the 'Whale Internet Cafe'.

This Internet cafe had a history of over 10 years in the small town. It should've been renovated and expanded in the past two years. The former small Internet cafe had been transformed into a large one that occupied two floors. The French windows were spacious and bright and the snow-capped mountains in the distance could be viewed without obstruction through the windows.

Due to the incredible view, it attracted many tourists. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou took a look around after entering and found that the second floor was almost completely full of people. They went to the front desk of the Internet cafe and a sweet-looking girl asked, "Do the two of you want to drink coffee or surf the Internet?"

Yu Hanjiang took out his police officer's card and showed it to her. "Is your boss Xu Kai here?"

The girl was startled. "Boss? He rarely comes here. I haven't seen him in over a month."

"Do you know where he has been lately?"

"I don't know. Our Internet cafe is managed by Manager Zhang. He is here today. Wait a minute and I'll call him over."

The manager of the Internet cafe quickly came to the front desk. "Police? What do you want with my cousin?"

Yu Hanjiang told him, "Don't worry, we aren't here to arrest him. We are just investigating something that he might have knowledge of."

The other person was obviously relieved when he heard this. "He should be sleeping late at home. There was a drinking party last night and he was drunk. He might not be awake yet."

Yu Hanjiang found Xu Kai according to the address provided by his cousin.

His residence was very stylish and was in the best villa area in the town. There were two luxury cars parked in front of the door. According to Yu Hanjiang's investigation, he was still unmarried but had constant girlfriends. His private life was chaotic.

Hearing the doorbell ringing non-stop, Xu Kai rubbed his sleepy eyes, his expression terrible. "Who is it?"

Yu Hanjiang spoke calmly. "Police. Mr Xu, please open the door."

Xu Kai raised an eyebrow and suspiciously came over to open the door. "Why are the police looking for me? I have been drinking for the past few days... could it be that someone drank to death?"

Yu Hanjiang asked directly, "Do you remember Qiao Xuening?"

Xu Kai's face was slightly stiff and he opened the door for the two of them to enter the house.
