Chapter 279 - 279 0280 Expelling the Aura of Death

279: Chapter 0280: Expelling the Aura of Death 279: Chapter 0280: Expelling the Aura of Death The Norwegian Forest Bar, like the Night Bar, definitely couldn’t have surveillance cameras installed in the restrooms, but there were cameras in the corridors and some of the rooms.

There are several surveillance cameras on the corridor leading to the restroom, and they provide a very clear view.

Now that the surveillance footage has been brought back, when Zhao Ruxue and Zhao Rubing wanted to watch it, Wang Chao had someone play the video.

Zhao Rubing quickly spotted the security guard Xie Cheng among the dimly lit crowd.

Xie Cheng was moving around the bar, occasionally guiding customers or answering questions.

Just two hours before, as Xie Cheng headed to the restroom, a man suddenly patted his shoulder.

This scene was seen by Zhao Rubing, Zhao Ruxue, Wang Chao, and others, but the man who patted Xie Cheng wasn’t very clear.

Then Xie Cheng was taken into the restroom, and by the time the man came out, Xie Cheng was dead inside the restroom.

Therefore, now Wang Chao and the police officers are treating this man as a suspect.

At a glance, Zhao Rubing felt that the man’s attire was very similar to someone, but then she felt it wasn’t quite right because the man’s disheveled hair covered his face.

However, judging from the physical characteristics, it should be a man, not a woman.

“Captain Wang, the suspect should be a man,”

Zhao Ruxue said.

“I suspect it is a man too, but it could also be a woman, or someone androgynous,”

Wang Chao said.

Wang Chao had already instructed someone to capture the suspect’s image from the footage, then to print it clearly so they could search for this suspect across the city.

“I want to see the victim.”

Zhao Ruxue said.

“The victim is in the hospital morgue.

If Captain Zhao wants to go, I can have someone take you there.”

While Wang Chao had a police officer take Zhao Ruxue to see the body of the victim Xie Cheng, Zhao Rubing cooperated with the police investigation on some issues.

When Zhao Ruxue came out of the morgue, she had seen Xie Cheng’s body, which had died from excessive bleeding due to being stabbed directly in the neck with a sharp weapon.

Based on the surveillance footage she had just seen, she suspected that the suspect was a man, since only a man would have that much strength.

However, as the suspect had not yet been caught, she couldn’t confirm it completely.

When she returned to the entrance of the district police station, Zhao Rubing was already waiting for her in the car.

“Sis, I need to go back to the bar to console the security staff and the employees, and to let them take a three-day leave.”

The bar definitely couldn’t operate normally for the next few days.

They would at least have to wait three days before reopening.

“That’s appropriate,”

Zhao Ruxue said.

Now that a security guard had died inside the bar, the bar definitely bore some responsibility.

Before the culprit was found, Zhao Ruxue had to compensate Xie Cheng’s family with a sum of money.

These matters, Zhao Ruxue planned to have one of the bar’s managers handle.

When she drove back to the bar, the security staff, bartenders, waiters, and all the other employees were waiting inside.

But thinking about the recent death, they still felt afraid.

Seeing their boss return, they wanted to ask about the situation.

“Take a three-day break first.

After three days, you’ll be notified to come back to work,”

Zhao Rubing told the employees.

Soon, the bar’s security staff, bartenders, barmen, other female waitresses, and so on, all left the Norwegian Forest Bar.

In the bar, soon only Zhao Ruibing and the duty manager He Wen were left.

“Manager He, you should also go rest.

If the police need your cooperation with the investigation, just go ahead and work with them,”

Zhao Ruibing said.

He Wen swayed on his feet, but in the end, he did not speak up.

He had likely been on vacation for the past three days, but he hadn’t expected that an incident would occur at the bar during his shift.

After He Wen left by car, only Zhao Ruxue and Zhao Ruibing remained.

“Ruibing, running a bar is not easy, why not go into some other business?”

Zhao Ruxue looked down on the bar business somewhat because as a police officer, she was very aware that such places were bound to be involved with drugs and gambling.

Even if her sister denied it, and Ruibing herself wasn’t involved in such activities, it didn’t mean that the customers who came in weren’t.

Zhao Ruxue couldn’t believe that the customers were just there to drink.

“Sister, it’s fine.

I’m used to it,”

Zhao Ruxue then stopped talking about it.

Now, past three o’clock in the morning, Zhao Ruibing didn’t stay longer and got into the car with Zhao Ruxue.

They drove away from the Norwegian Forest, heading back to their apartment in Jiangbei.

…

When Zhang Yi left the Norwegian Forest, his throat moved as if swallowing something, but in fact, he wasn’t swallowing anything.

Instead, the maggots in his body were wriggling.

The two men had been observing Zhang Yi’s movements all along.

Zhang Yi had succeeded twice in a row now, and in the eyes of the two men, the corpse of Zhang Yi they were controlling was quite successful.

However, Zhang Yi’s outfit was bound to give away his identity sooner or later, so the two men took him back to the woods.

After cutting Zhang Yi’s long hair and changing his clothes for a different set, then giving his face a simple makeover, this Zhang Yi looked different from the previous one.

But within a few meters, one could still distinctly smell the stench of death emanating from him.

“Lao Wu, he smells so bad, he’ll be recognized by people sooner or later, right?”

“Lao Jiu, let’s first dispel that smell of death from him,”

said the other man, who was in his fifties.

After the two men performed a ritual and dispelled the smell of death from Zhang Yi, the stench was almost gone.

However, up close, it was still detectable, like someone’s bad breath; as long as the person spoke or breathed, it was there.

Now Zhang Yi was the same, still slightly smelling if one was close by.

After the ritual, Zhang Yi left the small forest and made his way back to the upscale apartment complex.

He still couldn’t be exposed to sunlight, or the corpse would start to rot.

As he entered the gate of the complex, the two security guards recognized him as Zhang Yi and noted that his clothes were clean and the foul stench was absent.

Even his hair had been cut.

“Mr.

Zhang, have you finished work?”

asked one of the guards.

When Zhang Yi glanced at him and proceeded inside, the guard felt as if he had been stared down by a wild beast.

Zhang Yi’s eyes had long become empty, like they had sunk in, but just then, the man had given him a pair of sunglasses to wear, which the two security guards naturally failed to see.

The two guards just thought Zhang Yi seemed strange, walking in the middle of the night with sunglasses on.

Were they not afraid of falling into a stinky ditch?
