Chapter 260: Rose Princess

~6 min read 1,180 words

After about an hour, the long-winded old man finally ended his speech. He looked at Gu Changzheng with cloudy eyes, seemingly waiting for a positive compliment.

At this moment, Gu Changzheng's brain was straightening out his fragmented narrative along a timeline. Seeing his expectation when his gaze swept over his face, he smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, thank you for the information. By the way, when will Jiang Feiyang's parents arrive?"

He had learned that the couple was working in Nanyue Province, more than a thousand kilometers away, but they should have returned by now.

Jiang Dajun blinked a few times and said: "Soon. Dahong and his wife took the green-skin train, which is a bit slow, plus they were delayed for some time asking for leave over there."

Gu Changzheng's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he gave up.

If Jiang Dajun's words just now were true, then this Jiang Feiyang had some psychological problems.

"Cross-dressing?" Luo Fei muttered in a low voice. It seemed Jiang Feiyang was older, but the circles he associated with were extremely complex.

Just then, the sound of car brakes came from outside.

Jiang Dajun hurried out to greet them. After Gu Changzheng and Luo Fei exchanged a look, they followed him out.

They saw a haggard-looking couple get out of the car. Seeing Gu Changzheng and the others, they managed to squeeze out a smile.

After Gu Changzheng stated his identity and said a few words of comfort, he cut to the chase: "Do you know about Jiang Feiyang's cross-dressing?" As soon as Jiang Feiyang's mother heard this, tears flowed down, crying that they had been working away for years and neglected the child's growth, never expecting the child to become like this. The father looked remorseful, saying that if he had known, he wouldn't have gone out to work.

Gu Changzheng saw that the couple was dull and honest, and having worked away for years, they knew even less about Jiang Feiyang's situation than Jiang Dajun. After comforting them a few times, he called Luo Fei and left the old house.

"Master, do you think Jiang Feiyang's death was an accident or homicide?" Luo Fei couldn't help but ask on the way back.

Through Jiang Dajun, they learned that Jiang Feiyang had some "special" hobbies, but they didn't find any women's clothing in his house. Could it be that he had another place to store those things?

For an underage high school student, plus his family conditions, he shouldn't have the ability to rent a house outside! Then there was only one possibility: someone provided a place for him.

Perhaps, not only for him...

Hearing Luo Fei's question, Gu Changzheng stopped the analysis in his mind. He nodded and said: "Jiang Feiyang's death lies between suicide and murder, but what is certain is that he must have participated in some illegal organization. Only by finding that organization can we avoid similar tragedies like Jiang Feiyang's from happening again."

"I have already arranged for personnel to check Jiang Feiyang's QQ and other online social software..." Before he could finish, his phone rang. He pressed the speakerphone, and a female voice came from the phone: "Boss! Found it! Jiang Feiyang joined a QQ group called 'Rose Princess.' This group has four administrators, and their avatars all look like young beauties, but you need an old member to introduce you to join, and it has been muted..."

Luo Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was a newcomer just assigned to the police force, a post-90s girl named Xia Xue, who always spoke like this, never stopping once she started.

After she finished speaking, Luo Fei asked: "Is there any way to get into the group?"

Xia Xue said: "How could there not be? I've already disguised myself as an underage girl and added one of the members!"

Luo Fei couldn't help but smile. This girl was carefree, and her personality really didn't seem like a girl's. He asked again: "Check WeChat and the like too; young people nowadays like to use that."

Xia Xue agreed and hung up the phone.

"Rose Princess?" Gu Changzheng tapped the inner handle of the car door with his finger. "What kind of organization is this?"

———

In an office building in the center of Zizhen City, on the 18th floor, was an office with a sign that read "Wave New Media Operation Center." At this moment, it was quiet inside, and no one was seen entering or leaving, but the building's security guards knew that this company became lively as soon as it got dark, and the employees were all young men and women in their 20s, whose work content was facing computer after computer, not knowing what they were doing...

———

The avatar on the computer screen kept flashing. Xia Xue stared at the screen with full concentration, her fingers flying across the keyboard, and lines of subtitles appeared on the screen until the other party sent a message: See you at Soho Bar at nine tomorrow night!

That was the invitation sent to Xia Xue by "Night Shadow Blade." Xia Xue hurriedly replied: How do I find you?

A paragraph flashed on the screen: You go there on time, and I will naturally find you!

———

"Good!" After listening to Xia Xue's plan, Luo Fei pondered for a while and spat out the word "good."

Xia Xue reported the meeting invitation sent to her by the "Rose Princess" member to Luo Fei, and she decided to go and meet this "Night Shadow Blade"!

Luo Fei quickly arranged for supporting personnel and formulated a safety protection plan, just waiting for the meeting that night!

Soho Bar was located in the Ginza Building in the Zizhen commercial center. At nine o'clock in the evening, it was the peak time for customers to enter the bar. Xia Xue wore a white T-shirt on her upper body, paired with a pair of blue jeans, looking clean and neat. She originally had a baby face, and this outfit did indeed make her look like a minor.

She put on a cocky, ignorant, and fearless look and walked into the bar swaggeringly. At this time, the DJ on the stage was playing deafening music, and several women in cool clothing and heavy makeup were twisting their bodies, dancing some unknown dance...

Xia Xue found an empty seat and sat down, her head shaking along with the music. Not long after, a young man with dyed red hair and a nose ring swayed over.

Xia Xue's eyes were constantly looking around, and she naturally discovered this man walking toward her. She originally cast a look of disgust, but saw that the man had a flower tattoo on the web of his right hand holding the wine bottle.

She couldn't help but take another look, and the flower tattooed on the man's hand became clearer—it was actually a rose!

"Are you Night..."

"Night Shadow Blade!" The man hooked his mouth into a somewhat evil smile. ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
