"In this way, we will immediately investigate the surrounding nightclubs. This group of people should go down the mountain to play like this more than once or twice. The nightclub staff must be impressed by such a huge number of people." Lin Xuan suggested.
"Captain Lin, this is a good idea." Ye Mo also nodded.
Soon, the task force took action.
Visit and investigate all nightclubs around the area where the crime occurred.
Sure enough, hard work pays off.
After the unremitting efforts of the police on the task force, they finally got the news at one of the most upscale clubs in Longhua County.
In the interview room, Ye Mo met Manager Liu from Lanqiao Nightclub.
This manager is also bald, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a suit, in his forties, and looks relatively kind.
Seeing Ye Mo come in, Manager Liu stood up immediately: "Hello, Captain Ye."
"Mr. Liu, thank you for coming all the way here. I have something I want to tell you about." Ye Mo said.
"I've heard everything. If you have any questions, just ask." Manager Liu said.
"Are you sure these dozen victims are regular visitors to your place?" Ye Mo asked.
"I'm very sure that the police comrades showed me their ID photos, and I recognized three of them at a glance," Manager Liu replied.
"Do you know they are monks in the temple?" Ye Mo asked.
"I don't know about this. At first I saw that all of them had round bald heads. I thought they were some kind of underworld organization. Later I found out that these people are quite easy to talk to and have a high consumption level." Manager Liu said.
"How many times have they been to your nightclub?" Ye Mo asked.
"Come here at least twice a month."
“How much does each purchase cost?”
"Basically, you have to have more than five thousand yuan a night." Manager Liu replied.
"What do they usually do when they go to your nightclub?" Ye Mo asked.
"Just drinking and singing, foot massage in the sauna and so on." Manager Liu replied.
"Didn't you ask some ladies to accompany you for drinks or something?" Ye Mo asked.
Hearing this, Manager Liu smiled awkwardly and said: "First of all, our nightclub is definitely formal. Although there are escort services, there is absolutely no pornography involved. Secondly, these people are a bit strange..."
"What's weird?" Ye Mo asked with a frown.
"They don't order the escort girl, but they order the escort boy." Manager Liu scratched his head.
"What is the specific situation?" Ye Mo suddenly felt that something was outrageous.
"Let's put it this way, these people are gay. For this reason, we specially found a group of young people to come and drink with them." Manager Liu said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo and Lin Xuan's expressions changed.
It means, these people like men.
Ye Mo realized something was wrong, so he quickly asked: "In addition to drinking and singing, and finding young men to accompany them, did they take those boys away?"
"That's not true. We don't allow it there." Manager Liu said.
"Besides this, have you noticed anything unusual about them?" Ye Mo asked.
"Other than that, there's really nothing else. They speak very gently, talk and laugh, and often tip the waiters." Manager Liu said.
"Then what kind of car do they drive every time they come here to spend money?" Ye Mo asked.
"A minibus, with a dedicated driver to pick up and drop off. The drivers are eating buffet fruits and other things in the lobby downstairs." Manager Liu replied.
"What does this driver look like?" Ye Mo asked.
"This driver is very familiar with us, but the last time they came to our place to spend money, it was not that driver, and the car was not that bus." Manager Liu replied.
"What did the last driver look like? Do you remember the license plate number?" Ye Mo realized that there were beginning to be clues in the case.
"The last driver was younger, fair and clean, and the car was a white minibus. We didn't pay attention to the license plate number." Manager Liu said.
"Then do you remember what happened that night?" Ye Mo asked.
"Only eighteen people came that night. Another man named Brother Yuan seemed to be feeling unwell, so he didn't come. They drank a lot that night. When they left, we helped them get into the car." Manager Liu road.
"Well, you describe that person's appearance, and I'll ask our professionals here to draw the appearance." Ye Mo said.
"Okay." Manager Liu nodded.
Soon, Ye Mo asked Ye Xiaoyu to draw a picture of the driver's appearance described by Manager Liu.
According to Manager Liu, the driver was about thirty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, weighed 110 pounds, had relatively long hair, a high nose bridge, and was very delicate.
Ye Xiaoyu also drew a portrait based on the description.
However, Manager Liu couldn’t remember the specific appearance, and he wasn’t sure if the person drawn was that person.
After questioning Manager Liu, Ye Mo got a very key clue.
The driver who appeared last was a serious suspect.
So, Ye Mo immediately arranged to start a county-wide investigation of this white minibus.
Generally speaking, this kind of minibus that carries 20 passengers is an operating vehicle and must have an operating qualification certificate.
Ordinary people cannot just buy it for personal use.
Only car rental companies, passenger transport companies, factories, large companies, etc. are eligible to purchase.
So, it's not hard to check.
However, Zhang Xiaofan felt that the true identity of these monks was particularly outrageous.
They are not real monks at all.
But a fake one by a bunch of gays.
Those refuge certificate numbers are probably all fake.
And Abbot Zhang Yuanshan, I guess, is also one of them.
Because of its long history, Zhang Yuanshan's identity cannot be ascertained. We only know that he is an outsider. He came to Ninghai City more than ten years ago and found the abandoned ancient temple on the mountain.
Later, he obtained the qualification to rebuild the temple and built a new temple.
At the beginning, there were more than 30 lay people in the temple, but now there are only 19 people left.
These nineteen people are all between thirty and thirty-five years old.
The so-called monk is just a cover.
The temple is not a place of pious belief in Buddhism, but a gathering place for these people.
They actually abide by the commandments and do not approach women, but they do approach men.
But no matter what, they didn't do anything evil, nor did they use the pilgrims' beliefs to deceive them.
Tourists go to burn incense and worship Buddha, buy incense sticks, and throw incense money, all on their own initiative.
Because of this, nineteen lives were lost and the entire temple was bathed in blood.
This is really too bad.
Of course, no one knows what unknown things are hidden in this.
At present, only by catching the murderer as soon as possible can the truth about the case be revealed...
