Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 347: Something Big’s About to Happen! The Missing Person Is a Reporter!
Even though he wasn't a victim, when Xiao He infiltrated to check those videos already uploaded to the backend, he still felt disgust and rage.
After just a quick glance, he swiftly averted his eyes.
He better not look at this content anymore. He'd leave it for the police to confirm and press charges later...
Xiao He shifted his investigation focus, putting the emphasis on the hotel's internal surveillance.
The hotel's problems were now ironclad, but his current task wasn't to find hidden evidence of their crimes and convict them. It was to find Zhou Junhao, who had vanished within the hotel.
He figured Zhou Junhao had "disappeared" precisely because he discovered some of the hotel's secrets.
And as for Zhou Junhao's purpose for this trip, he had mentioned it before: to investigate a hidden flesh-and-blood black market chain within the entertainment circle.
In this, Qin Yuezhang was an insider with knowledge, while Wang Shaoqi was the executor and also the fall guy.
As for this hotel, it was highly likely the third party providing the venue, or even one of the organizers.
But who could have imagined it? This was actually the largest chain hotel in this entire film and television district!
And the key point was "chain hotel"!
Were other locations the same?
Over the years, the hotel had hosted countless stars and artists, big and small. Through this behavior, how many people's secrets had the hotel spied on? How many people's leverage did they hold?
And as the saying goes, prostitution, gambling, and drugs are inseparable. If they've already done the first one, what about the second and third?
This matter really was a huge mess! It was simply a shocking, gaping hole. That damn kid Zhou Junhao, how was his intuition so sharp?
Now, with just this simple investigation of his, he had already uncovered something major. What else had Zhou Junhao investigated and gotten his hands on?
Please don't let it be a secret that could cost him his life! Otherwise, there really might not be enough time to save him.
This was really about to become a major incident!
Xiao He kept searching through those internal surveillance feeds, trying to find any trace of Zhou Junhao's whereabouts, but several minutes later, he still came up empty-handed.
—Perhaps because they had been peeping on others for years, they themselves felt guilty. The locations these people hid in had no surveillance. The only slight clue was that surveillance cameras outside the hotel and nearby showed no sign of Zhou Junhao. He was most likely still somewhere inside the hotel!
This was troublesome.
What should he do now?
Send a message directly to the police?
No, that was too obvious.
Hacker activity had been too frequent lately. Not long ago, the police had just investigated him because of hacker-related matters. If Xiao He used hacker methods to intervene in this incident again, the hacker's presence would become too prominent. Moreover, bumping into two cases in a row like this, it would be strange if the police didn't pursue an investigation.
But he also couldn't just leave that kid to his fate.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao He decided to first check on the police's current investigation progress.
Thanks to this hotel's secret cameras being as full of holes as a sieve, Xiao He could now easily locate the corresponding room and observe the situation.
At this time, the police still didn't know Zhou Junhao's true identity. They had simply inspected the room's condition, checking if Zhou Junhao had left any clues or if there were any other abnormalities.
Zhou Junhao hadn't left many personal belongings behind, but the camera and laptop in his backpack, along with his usual daily necessities, were all there. It seemed he really had only intended to go out to pick up a food delivery, with no plan to stay out for long.
However...
Officer Xiao Li shook the camera and asked Wang Yi, "Your friend really likes photography?"
This was also the first time Wang Yi saw Officer Xiao Li take out Zhou Junhao's camera. He immediately shook his head, "I don't know. Before this, I hadn't seen him take this camera out."
Officer Xiao Li felt the expensive camera in his hands, his expression turning suspicious. He simply turned the camera on directly.
But the next moment, the camera screen displayed a "No Memory Card" prompt.
Officer Xiao Li searched around a bit more but found no memory card.
—In other words, the memory card had been taken by the camera's owner, Zhou Junhao.
Late at night, just going to pick up a food delivery, why would he carry the camera's memory card on his person? Could it be there was some secret hidden inside? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Brother Li, we found his work ID in the drawer by the entrance."
An officer handed his discovery to Officer Xiao Li.
"Zhou Junhao's work ID?"
Calling it a work ID was a stretch;it was essentially a transparent plastic sleeve with a thin piece of paper inserted. It had Zhou Junhao's headshot pasted on it, along with the name of the production team he belonged to and his position, certifying he was a staff member of the "Cangyue Calamity" production team, allowing him free access to the set.
This kind of work ID wasn't unique to Zhou Junhao;basically everyone in a production team had one.
Officer Xiao Li flipped the work ID back and forth in his hand, then squeezed it, confirming nothing was amiss. He took a photo of the ID and asked colleagues at the station to help verify Zhou Junhao's identity.
To be honest, Officer Xiao Li felt the name Zhou Junhao sounded somewhat familiar.
The police searched the room once more but found no further clues.
However, given the current situation, the police also began to suspect that this Zhou Junhao had genuinely disappeared.
Most importantly, Zhou Junhao himself was a bit strange.
Hotel food deliveries could be sent to the front desk and delivered to rooms by hotel staff. Although Zhou Junhao said each time that he was hungry and going out to get his delivery, basically every time, Zhou Junhao directly left the hotel. There were no surveillance records of him eating a late-night snack within the hotel.
This was very contradictory.
Even if he didn't want to eat in the room to avoid disturbing his roommate, since he had already ordered delivery, eating elsewhere within the hotel was completely fine. Even eating his late-night snack in the hotel lobby, no one would say anything.
Yet Zhou Junhao insisted on going out to eat.
And since he was going out to eat anyway, why order delivery? The area outside this film and television city had a night food street. If he was already out, wouldn't it be better to just eat there directly? Ordering delivery seemed a bit redundant.
Furthermore, according to the surveillance, this redundant behavior wasn't a one-time thing. It happened every time.
This made it even stranger.
Therefore, this person probably hadn't been telling his roommate the whole truth.
His frequent late-night outings weren't really for eating a late-night snack. He had another purpose.
Officer Xiao Li keenly sensed this point but didn't understand the purpose behind the other's actions.
However, he soon learned the reason.
Because the colleague investigating Zhou Junhao's identity brought back an unexpected piece of news—
"What? You say Zhou Junhao's true identity is a reporter?"
Officer Xiao Li's expression instantly darkened.
"Right." The officer on the phone said while flipping through records. "This kid is indeed a bit reckless. Several of the major stories he dug into were discovered through undercover work. Previously, he even exposed a counterfeit drug trafficking criminal gang through an undercover operation."
"If it's him, then his disappearance is probably not simple."
After getting a general understanding of the situation, Officer Xiao Li hung up the phone and immediately began reporting this matter up the chain.
A reporter with a hidden identity, an extra vanishing into the vast, dark night outside the hotel...
No matter how you looked at it, this didn't seem right!
