Soon, the three of them drove the bureau’s Fukan 988 swiftly to Xinshijie Entertainment City, located at No. 1 Jiefang Avenue, next to Yuema Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xinshijie Entertainment City assigned different functions to each floor, from bottom to top: the first floor was split in half—one side a disco and bar, the other the Luhua Performing Hall, catering to general patrons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second and third floors housed KTV private rooms, totaling 88 luxury suites of various sizes; reportedly, over five hundred singing girls worked here, with consumption levels significantly higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth floor was a more upscale private club, inaccessible to ordinary people; membership initiation reportedly started at 200,000 yuan, and money alone wasn’t enough—you needed two existing members to sponsor you! Inside, everything was available, extravagantly luxurious; very few in Zizhen City qualified as members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth floor was even more mysterious—a small five-star hotel with premium suites, a rooftop pool, sauna bar, and aerial stage; even fewer could access this level, and its dedicated elevator added to its mystique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident occurred in a 50-square-meter KTV room on the second floor, thick with alcohol and tobacco fumes, mingled with the scents of various perfumes sprayed by girls. When Lu Haoxuan entered, he saw six young men in leather jackets huddled in a corner, heads down; several auxiliary police from the Public Order Unit stood before them. On the sofa facing the door lay a girl in thin clothing, unconscious. As Lu Haoxuan approached for a closer look, he sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl appeared drunk into a deep sleep, reeking of alcohol and perfume, blending into an odd odor—but beneath it lingered a faint milky scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haoxuan didn’t believe this was her natural body odor; it was far more likely the result of heavy Ma Gu consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a young officer with a single silver bar on his shoulder approached Lu Haoxuan and said: “You’re Officer Lu, right?” Lu Haoxuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving Lu Haoxuan’s confirmation, the young officer snapped to attention: “Officer Lu, sir! I’m Jiang Xiaohé, officer of the Jiangdong Branch Public Order Unit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haoxuan didn’t know this officer named Jiang Xiaohé; he nodded and asked: “What’s the situation? Did you make the call?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaohé replied: “Yes, Officer Lu. We received a tip that someone was planning to cause trouble at Xinshijie. When we arrived, we found this girl unconscious among a group of local hoodlums. When I got here, this one”—he pointed to a young man with a small beard, crouched on the ground, shaking his head—“was trying to pull her underwear up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haoxuan turned to look at the bearded youth, who stared blankly and shrugged: “Is it illegal to date? I’m just playing with my girlfriend—what’s it to you? Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaohé immediately glared and barked: “I didn’t tell you to speak! What are you yapping about? I’m suspecting you of rape—so what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Lu Haoxuan understood: the girl was still unconscious, so whether they were a couple or if rape had occurred was unclear. This Jiang Xiaohé was clearly a greenhorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Jiang Xiaohé a subtle glance, signaling him to step outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kid was sharp—he glanced at Lu Haoxuan and followed him out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me what happened,” Lu Haoxuan asked calmly. “Start from when you received the tip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaohé scratched his head, recalling: “Today I was on mid-shift. At 9:30 p.m., the unit got a call reporting that Hu Suyong—yeah, that guy with the beard—was bringing a group of outsiders to cause trouble at Xinshijie, and they were carrying controlled knives. After hearing the dispatcher’s report, I came over with my team. But when I arrived, I saw Hu Suyong trying to put her underwear on. Would he ever be that kind? The girl was passed out cold—she wouldn’t even know what was done to her. So I thought we needed to collect evidence and charge this bastard with rape!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jinquan, who had come with Lu Haoxuan, couldn’t help interjecting: “Damn, Xiao Jiang! You’re something else! Besides this, what else have you found out about them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaohé’s eyes widened: “He’s suspected of rape—isn’t that enough? This definitely requires your Criminal Investigation Unit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haoxuan felt something was off. Was this kid being manipulated? He hadn’t uncovered the real issue, yet he’d fabricated a bizarre “rape case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of Xinshijie, that mysterious place, Chang Huaqiang looked down at the kneeling Huang Mao and said coldly: “Xiao Long, you’ve been with Luhua for years. How have I treated you? Why betray me and help Zhang Shaojie sabotage my establishment?”\u003C\u002Fp>",787,"2026-06-20T19:35:30.807Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fb994d232a2d53bcfd4e23c0917143a6505bd392d38a567dddf005a9066784f7","chasing-the-criminal-case-chapter-70","chasing-the-criminal-case-chapter-68",276,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fchasing-the-criminal-case-cover.jpg"]
