Sweat dripped down the face of the general manager. He glared at the manager and shouted, "Why are you standing here? Why don't you hurry up and get two cups of iced coffee."

The manager slapped his forehead and quickly turned around to make arrangements.

A moment later, a waitress brought two iced coffees.

Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang ignored them, but asked the general manager to take out the employee roster to check the people who left after the kidnapping incident.

The general manager immediately found a person in charge and asked him to bring the roster of all employees.

"Have you counted how many people left their jobs after the day Miss Ning disappeared?" Zhang Ziyang asked while sitting on a chair.

"Inspector Zhang, you also know that in our place, it is common for staff to leave and stay. I have the impression that there are quite a few people who leave their jobs. Who would count such things." The general manager stood beside him and said with a wry smile.

"Then, in the half month before Miss Ning's disappearance, you have to find out which newcomers you have come to work." Lu Ming said.

"Ok."

The general manager and the people in charge hurriedly flipped through the roster. According to Lu Ming's request, taking Ning Xiner's disappearance time as the origin, the names of all those who started work within half a month before the incident and those who left half a month after the incident must be found. come out.

The two were busy for about an hour before finding out all these people one by one.

Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang looked at the list in their hands, and they were beating their hearts. There are really many people.

A total of 53 people started working half a month before Ning Xiner disappeared, but 122 people left the job half a month after Ning Xiner disappeared, and only five people came to apply for the job.

This is a bit strange, because the ratio of entry and exit is obviously uncoordinated, and there must be ghosts in it.

"Look up the people who have the same name as the ones who have been employed and those who have left." Lu Ming said immediately after turning his mind.

After careful comparison with several people, this time the number is less. There are only four people who started work half a month before Ning Xiner disappeared and left after she disappeared. Two women and two men are all staff members.

"Hey, it must be them." Zhang Ziyang thumped the general manager's desk hard.

Lu Ming's feeling was the same as Zhang Ziyang's. This trip was not in vain. These criminals were considered unlucky for them. Who told them to meet a master detective.

"What, it's them? They..." The general manager was at a loss, not knowing what Zhang Ziyang's sudden excitement meant.

"I still don't understand, but these four people participated in Miss Ning's kidnapping case." Zhang Ziyang said lightly.

"But...how is it possible? These four people are very ordinary people. They can't be more ordinary. How could they kidnap someone? You are not mistaken." The general manager is still at a loss.

"The kidnappers are usually very ordinary people, and they don't kidnap people often. Have you ever seen someone kidnap someone for fun?" Lu Ming glared at the other party, and said angrily.

Sweat poured down the general manager's head. If the employees of Paramount were really involved in the kidnapping incident, Paramount would really be in bad luck. Maybe it would be forcibly shut down and rectified.

This is a serious violation of the industry's regulations. It is not only the place where the crime occurred, but also the den where the crime occurred. No amount of punishment can be overstated.

"Master Lu, Inspector Zhang, you just checked the list and came to this conclusion, aren't you being hasty?" He had to be tougher, if he was weak at this time, he would wait to enter the police station for questioning.

"Of course it's not a conclusion yet, after further investigation, there will be a conclusion." Zhang Ziyang said bluntly.

"General Manager Wu, don't worry, we are just guessing, but even if these four people are really part of the kidnappers, it doesn't mean that you, Paramount, are in touch with the kidnappers. They are two different things."

Lu Ming felt that there might be something that Paramount needed to cooperate with, and he couldn't scare them back all at once, so he said in a comforting tone.

In fact, it is useless to blame Paramount now, not to mention that Paramount has always recruited people very casually, and there is no obligation to check the family background of employees. Even if you use a random name, as long as you pass the assessment, you can still be a staff member.

If you want to investigate the ins and outs of these four people, of course you need the cooperation of Paramount.

"When you recruited these four people, did you notice anything, such as their behavior and dress, were they different from others?" Lu Ming asked.

"This... I can't remember clearly, it seems that there is nothing different from others?" The general manager didn't understand.

"Also, they may not be Chinese." Lu Ming reminded.

"Impossible, we only recruit Chinese people here, not foreign employees." The general manager said.

"Then, do these four people speak and act differently from us Chinese? For example, although they speak Chinese fluently, they may have foreign accents?" Lu Ming asked.

"Do you suspect that these four people are Japanese?" The general manager understood.

"Yes." Lu Ming nodded.

"I don't know about that, Master Lu, as you know, I have too many things to deal with every day. I don't care about such small things as recruiting employees."

"Then call the person in charge." Zhang Ziyang immediately followed up.

The general manager hurriedly asked someone to find the supervisor who specifically recruited employees, but the supervisor did not come to work today.

Zhang Ziyang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "General Manager Wu, after Miss Ning disappeared, I made notes for all the employees. I feel that there were no such four people at that time."

The general manager was taken aback, and smiled wryly; "Maybe the person who gave you the employee list at that time missed these four people."

Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang looked at each other and smiled coldly. They both felt that this matter was basically settled.

"Is the steward who provided me with the list of employees the same person who recruited the employees?" Zhang Ziyang asked.

"It's him." The general manager also felt that something was wrong at this time.

"Is this person just not at work today?" Lu Ming asked.

The general manager didn't know the specific situation, so he sent someone to ask, only to find out that the person in charge hadn't come for five days, and he asked another person in charge to help him assess the applicants.

"Where does this person live?" Lu Ming asked.

"It seems to live on a street in Zhabei." The newly recruited manager thought for a while and said.

"Then you take us to his house now and find him." Zhang Ziyang said impatiently.

"Is there something wrong with this person?" The general manager asked in a panic.

"I haven't come to work for five days. If he is still alive, he is fine. If he has a problem, he should be dead by now." Lu Ming sighed.

Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang got into the car with the person in charge, and the general manager couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to go with them.

Four people, two cars, arrived at the street in Zhabei in 10 minutes.

After getting off the car, the person in charge searched for a long time before finding the place, and then knocked on the door of a house.

"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, are you at home?"

Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang looked around. This street is a long row of bungalows, each next to each other, but they all have a small yard. The manager of Paramount can buy a house here, and it seems that the income is good.

In a place like Shanghai where land is very expensive, if you can have your own house, you are considered middle class.

The steward knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, and no one opened the door.

Zhang Ziyang pulled out his pistol, regardless of 21, kicked open the door and rushed in.

But then he rushed out at a faster speed.

Before everyone had time to ask him what was going on, they already smelled a suffocating stench.

Lu Ming hurriedly took out his handkerchief and covered his nose, then exited the yard. Several people were standing on the street, and they could still smell the disgusting stench.

Lu Ming already understood seven or eight points in his heart, knowing that he was late.

At this time, the four of them retreated to the street, and people from the neighbors also came out to check on the movement. They didn't smell the stench, but were startled by Zhang Ziyang's kicking the door.

The neighbors got a little closer, but they didn't see anything, and they covered their noses and couldn't speak.

"You guessed it right, this guy should have been dead for several days, this summer..." Zhang Ziyang said to Lu Ming, covering his nose.

Zhang Ziyang was a detective, so the smell of dead bodies could not escape his nose.

"I'll call a few brothers to come over, and call the forensic doctor too," Zhang Ziyang said.

"Well, that's the only way to go. This is a criminal case." Lu Ming nodded.

If the man was still alive, he would still have many questions to ask, but now that the man is probably dead, he has nothing to do, and the rest is the work of the police and forensic doctors.

So far, today's matter is only half successful, the clues of the four people have been broken, and they have to work hard to continue the investigation.
