Even though he wasn't a victim, Xiao He still felt disgusted and angry when he sneaked in to examine the video content that had already been uploaded to the backend.
He only glanced at it before quickly looking away.
He shouldn't look at this content; let's leave it to the police for confirmation and conviction later...
Xiao He changed the focus of his investigation, concentrating on the hotel's internal surveillance.
The hotel's problems are now a done deal, but what he needs to do now is not to find the hotel's hidden evidence and convict them, but to find Zhou Junhao, who has disappeared from the hotel.
It's likely that Zhou Junhao "disappeared" because he discovered some secrets about the hotel.
As Zhou Junhao had previously stated, the purpose of his trip was to investigate a hidden black market sex trafficking chain within the industry.
Qin Lezhang was in the know, while Wang Shaoqi was the executor and also the scapegoat.
As for this hotel, it is very likely that it is a third party providing the venue, or even one of the organizers.
Who would have thought? This is actually the largest chain hotel in this film and television area!
And the focus is still on "chain hotels"!
Is the same in other places?
Over the years, the hotel has hosted countless celebrities, big and small. Through this behavior, how many people's secrets have the hotel uncovered, and how many people's vulnerabilities have it obtained?
Moreover, as the saying goes, prostitution, gambling, and drugs are inseparable. If they've already done one, what about the second and third?
This is a real mess! It's an absolute disaster. How come Zhou Junhao's intuition is so accurate?
Now that he's found out such incredible things with such a simple investigation, what else has Zhou Junhao discovered?
Could it be a secret that could cost him his life? Otherwise, it might be too late to save him.
This is really going to be a big problem!
Xiao He kept going through the internal surveillance footage, trying to find any clues about Zhou Junhao's whereabouts, but after a few minutes, he still came up empty-handed.
Perhaps because they had been spying on others for years, they felt guilty, and the places where they were hiding weren't under surveillance. The only clue was that Zhou Junhao wasn't seen on the surveillance cameras outside the hotel, so he was most likely still somewhere inside the hotel!
This is troublesome.
What should he do now?
Should we send a message directly to the police?
No, that's too obvious.
The hacker activity has been too frequent lately; the police just investigated him for hacking not long ago. If Xiao He uses hacking techniques to intervene in this matter again, then the hacker's presence will be too prominent. Moreover, with two cases occurring in quick succession, it would be strange if the police didn't investigate further.
But we can't just leave this kid unattended.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao He decided ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) to first find out the current progress of the police investigation.
Thanks to the hotel's sieve-like network of secret cameras, Xiao He can now easily locate the corresponding rooms and observe the situation.
At this time, the police did not know Zhou Junhao's true identity. They simply checked the room to see if Zhou Junhao had left any clues or other unusual circumstances.
Zhou Junhao didn't leave behind many personal belongings, but his camera, laptop, and everyday items were still in his backpack, showing that he really only intended to go out to pick up takeout and didn't plan to stay outside for long.
but......
Officer Li waved his camera and asked Wang Yi, "Does your friend really enjoy taking photos?"
This was also the first time Wang Yi had seen Officer Li take out Zhou Junhao's camera. He immediately shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't seen him take out this camera before."
Officer Li fiddled with the expensive camera in his hand, looking suspicious, and then simply turned it on.
But the next moment, the camera screen displayed a "No memory card" message.
Officer Li searched the area again but did not find the memory card.
In other words, the memory card was taken away by the owner of the camera, Zhou Junhao.
Why would someone carry their camera memory card so close to their body just to pick up takeout late at night? Could there be some secret hidden inside?
“Brother Li, we found his work ID in the drawer in the entryway.”
A police officer handed his discovery to Officer Li.
"Zhou Junhao's work ID?"
It was called a work permit, but it was actually just a transparent shell with a thin piece of paper inside. It had Zhou Junhao's headshot on it, along with the name of the production crew and his position, proving that he was a staff member of the "Cang Yue Jie" production crew, so that he could freely enter and leave the production crew.
This work pass wasn't just for Zhou Junhao; practically everyone in the crew had one.
Officer Li examined the work ID card in his hand, squeezed it to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, then took a picture of it and asked his colleagues at the station to help confirm Zhou Junhao's identity.
To be honest, Officer Li felt that the name Zhou Junhao sounded somewhat familiar.
The police searched the room again but found no further clues.
However, given the current situation, the police have begun to suspect that Zhou Junhao has indeed disappeared.
Most importantly, Zhou Junhao himself is also somewhat strange.
Hotel takeout can be delivered to the front desk and then brought up by hotel staff. Although Zhou Junhao always said he was hungry and was going to go out to pick up the takeout, he basically left the hotel directly every time and there was no surveillance footage of him eating late at night.
This is like the left and right hemispheres fighting each other.
Even if you don't want to eat late-night snacks in your room and disturb your roommates, it's perfectly fine to eat in other parts of the hotel after ordering takeout. No one will say anything even if you eat late-night snacks in the hotel lobby.
But Zhou Junhao insisted on going out to eat.
Since they're already eating out, why order takeout? There's a food street outside the film studio late at night. Since they're already eating out, they might as well just eat outside. Isn't ordering takeout a bit redundant?
Furthermore, according to surveillance footage, this unnecessary behavior did not occur only once, but every single time.
This is getting even stranger.
Therefore, this person most likely didn't tell the truth to their roommate.
He often goes out late at night, not really to get a midnight snack, but for some other purpose.
Officer Li keenly noticed this, but didn't understand the other party's purpose in doing so.
However, he soon found out the reason.
Because a colleague investigating Zhou Junhao's identity brought back some unexpected news—
"What? You're saying Zhou Junhao's real identity is a reporter?"
Officer Li's expression suddenly darkened.
“Yes.” The officer on the other end of the phone said while flipping through the records, “This kid is really reckless. Several things he uncovered were discovered through undercover work. He even exposed a criminal gang selling counterfeit drugs through undercover work before.”
"If it's him, his disappearance probably isn't so simple."
After understanding the general situation, Officer Li hung up the phone and immediately began to report the matter.
A reporter, concealing his identity, disappeared into the vast darkness outside the hotel as an extra...
Something just doesn't look right!
