Chapter 336: Encirclement
“Heh How should I address you?” Lin Jing gave a seemingly casual smile to the public relations manager.
“Hehehe you can just call me Mary.” The PR manager “Mary” was all coy and flirtatious.
When all the rich, second-generation boys in the private room saw Lin Jing come in, their eyes were glued, and they couldn’t stop drooling.
“Now that we are all here, let’s have some fun…” Lin Jing walked a few steps, sat on the couch, crossed her legs, looking attractive. “You guys have male hosts here, don’t you?”
“Of course… madam, what type do you need?” Mary giggled.
“Call all your hosts over.” Huang Xiaolong watched Mary with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.
It seemed like Mary did not know that Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing could not be fooled by ghosts!
Huang Xiaolong saw right through Mary, who had no Taoist power on her and was a mere ordinary human being.
“Hehehe Calling all the hosts might be too overwhelming for you, madam.” Mary burst into giggles, covering her mouth.”
“What? You think I can’t afford it?” Lin Jing pretended to be upset.
Given Lin Jing’s upbringing as a rich heiress from a prestigious family, she carried a natural aura. Mary, having met all sorts of people, naturally realized Lin Jing’s extraordinary background and gave a smile. “Alright, please wait, I’ll arrange it personally.”
Huang Xiaolong sat down next to Lin Jing casually, “Also, please bring a few pretty ladies here.”
“OK ” Mary sashayed away.
At this point, all the wealthy sons in the room were vying to toast Lin Jing, who easily dealt with them.
Sure enough, Mary arrived with a flock of male hosts and a few princesses.
These male hosts and princesses lined up neatly, for Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing to choose.
On the surface, the male hosts had different styles, handsome and tall. There were some young students, elegant middle-aged men, and those dressed as ladies..
The princesses were all stunningly beautiful.
However, Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing saw clearly that out of the eight hosts, six were walking dead, and just two humans who had been fooled by spirits.
All the princesses were walking dead.
“Hehehe Miss, what do you think? These are all the red-cards at our nightclub.” Mary patted a leggy ‘European older brother’ type of host. “How about this one? He’s very good at all sorts of skills.”
In reality, this so called ‘European older brother’ was just a walking dead.
Lin Jing had never experienced this before; moreover, she could see the true form of the walking dead. She felt nauseated and irritated. Subconsciously, she pulled out the cigarette she had prepared beforehand. A walking dead immediately knelt before her and lit up her cigarette.
“Hahaha? Sister Jing, I’ll choose first.” Huang Xiaolong pulled a princess at random, dramatically took off her high heels and said, “Hahaha Nice feet…”
Yang Kai’s rich friends all looked on with disdain.
However, Yang Kai did not speak out. Today, Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing’s behaviors were rather peculiar, and figured this can’t be as simple as it seems.
After taking off her high heels, Huang Xiaolong lifted her feet to see a coffin nail several inches long with a yellow spell attached, embedded in the muddled, rotten soles of her feet.
Huang Xiaolong signaled Lin Jing, who also got to see this. Frowning, she said to Mary. “What kind of rubbish is this? Bring another set!”
“Hehehehe Miss, this batch of male hosts are already top-notch… Do you want to change them?” A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Mary’s eyes.
“Are you kidding me?” Lin Jing sneered. “Don’t assume I don’t know. Your nightclub’s top male host is called ‘Pan An’… Call ‘Pan An’ to serve me!”
At these words, a mix of shock and suspicion flashed through Mary’s eyes, as she carefully looked at Lin Jing. Her voice slightly trembled, “Heh? Miss, Pan An has quit long ago. I heard he went back to his hometown to get married…”
“What a downer”. Given Lin Jin’s year-long experience in criminal investigations, she is sure that Pan An’s death must be related to Mary. But afraid of stirring up the snake, she didn’t dwell on this and randomly selected a male host.
Lin Jing’s choice was a human that had been fooled by spirits, not a walking dead.
Mary glanced at Lin Jing and Huang Xiaolong, and said in a dark tone. “I’ll leave you all to have fun… I have to work now.”
After that, Mary left the private room.
Outside the room.
Mary quickly went to a corner, took out her cell phone, and dialed a number. “Brother Di? A man and a woman just arrived, and they seemed off. They were asking about Pan An… Moreover, when the woman was choosing, she happened to choose a human being. Six walking dead and two humans were brought in, and she chose the human directly… Could it be a coincidence? How about you come and handle it yourself…”
From the other end of the phone, came a dark voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell. “I’ll be right there. You get someone to kill that man and woman. Hmm! Things have reached a critical stage, there can be no slightest mistake… Whoever dares ruin my plans, I’ll end him!”
“But Brother Di, that woman, she seemed very distinguished, I’m afraid she might have some backing.” Mary said cautiously.
“Kill her!” The dark voice on the phone was filled with a terrifying murderous aura.
“OK, Brother Di, I understand.” Mary hung up the phone, stared at the room that housed Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing with a sinister look.
“Inside the private room.
The male escort that Lin Jing had ordered was kneeling on his knees, pouring wine for her.
“I’m asking, is Pan An actually at your club or not? Don’t tell me you fooled me… If I order Pan An and he resigns immediately, isn’t that too coincidental?” Lin Jing questioned the male escort who was left to serve her, she feigned indifference.
“Hehehe? Goddess, I’m not sure either… Anyway, the staff at our club often comes and goes, including the princesses and male escorts, and even the waiters. They suddenly disappear for no reason after working here for a while…” The man said with a flattering smile.
“You know Pan An, right?” Lin Jing continued.
“Sure, we used to be resident singers at the same bar.” the man said with a laugh. “But it was a little bizarre… on the day that Pan An resigned, he sent me a WeChat message inviting me to have late-night snacks with him after work. He said he had a secret to tell me… hehehe? but then he stopped responding to my messages on WeChat and his phone was unreachable… The next day, Sister Mary said Pan An left. It’s really suspicious when I think about it.”
Lin Jing glanced at Huang Xiaolong, then asked Yang Kai’s friends, “Who among you knows the boss of ‘The Club of Night-Blooming Cereus’?”
A slick guy with a powder-coated face spoke up to please her, “Pretty lady, my father knows boss Di. Boss Di is a very capable man. A few years ago, he came to Binhai with nothing and built up his own empire from scratch. Nowadays, ‘The Club of Night-Blooming Cereus’ is thriving day by day, gaining a high reputation here in Binhai. Look at these princesses, their qualities are high. They are not different from the ladies in the top-notch clubs…”
While talking, the greasy guy kissed a corpse next to him, getting his mouth covered with rotten pieces of flesh and corpse water.
Lin Jing almost puked and urged Huang Xiaolong, “Little Long, let’s go out for a walk.”
Huang Xiaolong stood up to accompany Lin Jing to leave the private room. He reminded Yang Kai before leaving, “You’d better go home now.”
Outside the private room.
“Sister Jing, let’s take a look around…” Huang Xiaolong held onto Lin Jing’s hand, wandering around in the labyrinth-like corridor of the club.
“Little Long, if we arrested Mary, the manager of the public relations department right now, I believe we would solve the dismembered body case!” Lin Jing assertively said.
“Sister Jing, there’s no rush, didn’t you want to catch a bigger fish? I think, that Mary is at most a small shrimp.” Huang Xiao Long replied all smiling.
The two of them reached the third floor.
On both sides of the corridor, there were closed doors lined up one after another.
At the moment, everyone could hear the sound of slaps and men panting coming from every room.
It seemed that the rooms on the third floor were made for sexual activities.
“Sister Jing, here, take this.” Huang Xiaolong took out a sheet of ‘X-ray spell’ out of the canvas bag he was carrying, and pasted it on Lin Jing’s forehead.
He asked Lin Jing to look at one of the rooms.
As golden light flashed, in Lin Jing’s view, the thick wooden door of that room suddenly faded, faded, and faded again until it became transparent like water, letting her easily see the scene inside the room.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man was laying on a bed, indulging himself.
Under his body, a corpse covered in splotches was lying, its mouth dripping foul-smelling corpse water.
“Sister Jing, look, this man thinks that he is making love to the most beautiful woman in the world. During the process, his Yang Qi is constantly being absorbed by the corpse, while the Yin Qi and Evil Qi from the corpse enter the man’s body. Doing it once or twice, at worst, he will just fall sick. But if this happens frequently, the Evil Qi would completely pollute the man’s body… In this situation, the man’s body dies first, but the soul doesn’t realize that the body is dead until one day when it suddenly perishes and the body rapidly decays into a dry corpse, making it impossible to determine the cause of death.”
Lin Jing was chilled to the bone by this and turned her gaze away immediately, not daring to look anymore.
“If I’m not wrong, the boss of this ‘The Club of Night-Blooming Cereus’ should be a corpse handler. He uses so many corpses to serve customers, but in fact, his real purpose is more than just making money, he has a hidden agenda…” Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment and said, “This club is extremely dangerous. The boss behind the scenes has to be found and directly killed, and these corpses also need to be destroyed…”
At this moment!
Footsteps!
A large group of uniformed security guards rushed furiously to the third floor!
In the hands of these guards, some held electric batons, some had fire axes, and some even had large machetes, charging at Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing with menacing faces.
There were more than twenty security guards!
They were all humans, not corpses, but they were all blinded by malice.
“Catch these two sneaky people!” the leading security guard roared.
Lin Jing instinctively positioned herself in front of Huang Xiaolong and took out her police badge from her bag, “Stop! Police! Everyone down on your knees!”
Seeing the weapons in their hands and outnumbered, she took the initiative to show her police badge in an attempt to deter these security guards.
Unexpectedly…
“Bullshit! Police? Fake! Brothers, go! Catch them! This woman is quite beautiful, everyone gets a round later! As for this man, kill him directly and dismember him!” The leader of the security guards’ eyes were like a hungry wolf. “Police? Are you stupid? Do you really think we would be scared?”
