"Not sitting down, I just wanted to ask you about soone," Xiao Feng said coolly.
The young woman's face imdiately showed a wary expression, her gaze scanning Xiao Feng up and down.
She suspected the young man in front of her might be a cop, but then thought it didn't quite fit.
Would a cop ask her for information and even take out money?
Flashing a badge is more effective than anything.
Xiao Feng didn't give her much ti to think, pulling out the photo of the little girl posted on Monts, enlarging the part with Hui Shiba alone.
Then, he handed the phone over and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
The young woman's eyes lit up, nodding in acknowledgnt, "I've seen him, seen him, it was just this morning, more accurately, about an hour ago."
"Good." Xiao Feng retrieved his phone and said, "Tell exactly what he did here."
The young woman showed a hesitant expression and murmured, "I can indeed tell, but..."
Speaking to this point, she paused and glanced at the hundred-yuan bill in Xiao Feng's hand.
Xiao Feng smiled knowingly but didn't hand over the money yet. The older woman sitting diagonally opposite couldn't help but say, "The person you're looking for only stayed for less than five minutes then left.
You can ask anything you want, fifty will do."
She genuinely felt unbalanced ntally, wondering why the opposite neighbor earned three hundred in one morning while she hadn't made a single deal.
As for how she knew Xiao Feng was looking for Hui Shiba, obviously, she had been sitting there all morning and clearly knew the young woman had only received one custor.
Combined with the woman clearly stating "about an hour ago," she imdiately understood that Xiao Feng was looking for the young man who had rushed out with his pants undone earlier.
The young woman imdiately stood up, hands on hips, yelling at the older woman diagonally, "He only stayed five minutes in my room, that's true.
But besides that, what else do you know?"
The older woman was rendered speechless and gave a cold snort, turning and entering her door, preferring ignorance.
The young woman switched to a smile and said, "Although what I do is in this line, I'm just a woman after all. Talking about such things can be difficult.
I can see you're not short of money, could you... give a bit more?"
After speaking, she rubbed her hands together, appearing quite embarrassed.
Xiao Feng chuckled and said, "Then we won't ask."
With that, he turned to leave, and was about to pocket the money.
The woman hurriedly caught up, saying, "No, no, a hundred is fine, I'll talk, I'll talk."
Xiao Feng paused, turned his head, and grinned, "Go ahead, I'll give you the money after you speak."
"Okay!" The woman silently cursed him stingy, then began recounting the events after Hui Shiba entered.
"He said he was a monk, which I initially thought was a joke, but seeing his reactions after entering, I realized he might be serious."
Xiao Feng impatiently said, "Focus on what you did to him or what he did to you."
Lone Wolf chid in animatedly, "Or maybe, what did you two do together?"
"Actually, there wasn't anything serious, he seed quite reserved at first, but slowly showed so initiative.
At this point, Xiao Feng and the others were like stone statues.
Hui Yi and Hui Er lacked field experience, but Xiao Feng and Lone Wolf understood that it's normal to be nervous the first ti, yet being as tense as Hui Shiba is quite rare.
Could it be that there's sothing wrong with Hui Shiba himself?
The young woman spoke to herself, "When he pulled up his pants and left, I thought he was trying to skip out on paying, so I chased after him.
He gave two hundred yuan and ran inward, turned right at the front intersection, but I don't know where he went after that."
Xiao Feng handed the money over to the woman and, along with Lone Wolf, walked forward.
The streets were lined with won in heavy makeup greeting them, ranging from young girls to married won, even so middle-aged nearing fifty.
As if this street could satisfy any taste a man might have.
Of course, it's like comparing genuine shoes to high-quality replicas, with barely any difference on the surface, yet you'll feel the difference once worn.
But talking about it, those who visit such places likely haven't worn "genuine shoes," so they probably don't feel much.
"Boss, should we check each house?"
Having not spoken since entering the village, Hui Yi finally spoke.
Xiao Feng looked at him like he was an idiot, and said, "Did you let your mind wander after hearing about Hui Shiba's antics?"
"No, absolutely not!" Hui Yi imdiately denied, yet his eagerness to deny made him seem guilty.
"Then why do you speak without thinking?" Xiao Feng retorted, "Didn't the woman at the intersection just say? Hui Shiba ran with his pants undone.
Think, if you saw soone running down the street with his pants undone, wouldn't that leave an impression?"
Having reprimanded Hui Yi, Xiao Feng led the group and continued asking around until reaching a small alley.
According to the last witness who saw Hui Shiba, he had turned into this alley.
"This should be easy to find now," Xiao Feng said slowly.
Lone Wolf and the others all nodded; with only two households in this alley, it would definitely be easy to find him.
Of course, assuming Hui Shiba entered one, otherwise it would be like a needle in a haystack.
Reaching the first household, Xiao Feng knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Not long after, the two wooden doors opened, and a woman who seed about forty years old appeared.
Seeing Xiao Feng and his company, she smiled, "So you ca as a group, co in quickly."
Xiao Feng didn't enter, instead, showing the phone screen to the woman, asking, "We just want to know if you've seen this person?"
Upon seeing the photo of Hui Shiba, the woman's face turned unpleasant, replying coldly, "Haven't seen him!"
Saying that, she was about to close the door.
"Snap!"
Lone Wolf held the door with one hand, sneering, "Don't lie, or don't bla for being rude!"
The woman was imdiately scared, frowned tightly, and said, "Even if I've seen him, so what? He's not here now."
"Where did he go?" Xiao Feng asked.
"How would I know where he went? I just called out for my mom, and next thing he ran out," the woman said indignantly, "I've never seen anyone like that."
Xiao Feng and the others were taken aback; the woman called her mom, then... Hui Shiba ran out?
What's the deal with this?
One thing is certain though: Hui Shiba didn't stay long and isn't here anymore either.
"So what do we do now?" Lone Wolf asked frustratingly, scratching his head.
