Entering the winery, Luo Fei took a deep breath calmly.
At the sa ti, everything in his eyes began to change, his profiling ability was pushed to the extre, and everything around was within his domain.
Every blade of grass and tree he passed by started to change.
Although the surroundings had a distinct garden style, Luo Fei could tell that these were added later.
Covering up!
That is to say, when the winery was originally designed, it was not intended for residential use but purely comrcial, which was in clear conflict with the claid dual-purpose intent.
Whether the design two years ago was solely to store wine, no one knows.
But now he felt there was sothing fishy about it, so there must be sothing wrong.
"Mr. Xue, I’m sorry, I accidentally left my phone here."
"No problem, Officer Luo, please co in."
With the other party’s invitation, Luo Fei walked into the reception room again.
"I’ve been too busy with work lately, so things are easy to overlook, and that’s how I end up being a bit forgetful."
"It’s fine, Butler, help Officer Luo look for it."
"No need, I can do it myself, no need to trouble you."
Luo Fei declined the kindness, then leaned down, crouching by the sofa.
The spot where his phone fell was just right because from the beginning he entered here, he had already set up a reason for a second entry.
Thus, when placing the phone, he used a very clever gesture.
Slipping the phone sideways into the gap between the two sofas, it wouldn’t fall unless soone reached in with their hand, otherwise, no one would notice the change.
This was also an important cover for his next actions.
"Strange, why isn’t it here?"
Luo Fei flattened himself against the ground again, quietly observing underneath the sofa, feeling with his hand against the floor.
His fingers sensed the earth, very soon receiving so feedback.
There was a sound of transmission, and a movent of water.
Exactly, this was the upper layer of the wine cellar.
Combining it with his previous circumnavigation on his last visit, the entire surrounding area was part of the wine cellar’s range, but the courtyard wasn’t far, both inside and outside were residential areas with no visible entrance.
The position beneath the winery was confird, but there was no doorway to the outside, only one possibility remained.
A hidden door!
Having sensed enough, Luo Fei stood up, extending two fingers to retrieve his phone from the sofa seam.
"Found it."
"Sorry for the bother."
After speaking, he sat down directly without any intention of leaving, leaving the butler sowhat at a loss.
Yet Xue Dongchuan still wore a full smile, also sitting down.
One was determined to get to the bottom of things, the other was committed to accompanying him no matter the cost.
"Mr. Xue, there were a few things I rembered as I was leaving, I wanted to ask you about."
"Sure, Officer Luo, go ahead."
"During your wine event, where can the guests go? Can they enter the cellar?"
Xue Dongchuan smiled.
"Of course not, the cellar is kept at a constant temperature, the area below must remain cool, and it’s where the core wine storage is located, outsiders can’t enter as they please."
"There’s another reception hall in the back, that’s where they taste the wine, Officer Luo, please follow ."
Seeing that the other party was actively inviting him, Luo Fei said nothing more and followed directly.
The two of them arrived behind two walls, revealing an unreasonably large reception hall, more than ten tis the size of the previous one.
A circular area surrounded by a large circle of square tables, and above, every few ters, hung a long strand of crystal hollow lamps.
Visible surveillance was also plentiful.
North, south, east, west, three in each direction, rotating alternately, providing full surveillance without blind spots.
Northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest each had one, supplenting the field of view.
It seed that the hall was thoroughly monitored!
"Impressive, Mr. Xue, this winery’s reception hall isn’t simple, no wonder you’re able to invite dozens of colleagues here, I’m impressed."
"Officer Luo, you’re exaggerating."
"Can I take a look around?"
"Please feel free, Officer Luo."
With that, Xue Dongchuan retreated backward.
Luo Fei quietly observed his surroundings, although there were four walls, they were not within the scope of the surveillance, aning everything behind the walls was their own space.
On the surface, neither Xue Dongchuan nor his butler were present, but Luo Fei already sensed that particular presence.
One was the smoke sll from the butler when passing by.
Despite being a heavy smoker, he didn’t care about his breath’s odor, and to Luo Fei, it was like a clue.
With a sniffer dog’s nose, there’s nowhere to hide.
On the other side, on the table near the northeast corner, stood a row of antique candlesticks, uniquely designed with a rimd surface, reflecting light like a coarse prism.
Luo Fei slowly walked left, pausing with each step.
As his angle shifted, the reflected light allowed him to see the figure standing behind the wall pillar, who turned out to be Xue Dongchuan who had just left.
Even though he was well-hidden, he was still discovered by Luo Fei.
