Chapter 170 Disappearing Chinatown
Chapter 170 Disappearing Chinatown
When Jiang Li disappeared in Chinatown, Chen Luo went crazy.
But when I asked the old lady, she said she didn't know either! She just went in to get the broom, and when she came out she was gone!
After searching around Chinatown for a while and not being able to find Jiang Li, Chen Luo immediately lost hope and ran to the place where Li Mubai was auditioning to find him. When Chen Luo arrived, Li Mubai and his friends just came out. Seeing Chen Luo coming alone, his face looked as if he was dead, Li Mubai immediately had a bad feeling.
"Where's Jiang Li?"
"No... it's gone!"
"Why are you missing?"
"I… I broke a cup, and then… Miss Jiang helped me pick up the broken glass, and I got… stabbed until I started bleeding. I went… went to buy a band-aid, and when I came back she was gone. I searched all over Chinatown but couldn't find her."
If Chen Luo knew that leaving Jiang Li would cause such a big problem, he would never leave her! But he went to buy medicine and it took only five minutes, so how could he disappear without a trace?
After hearing this, Li Mubai's expression froze.
"Take me to where she disappeared. On the way, tell me the whole story from beginning to end! I want you to tell me everything, no matter how big or small!"
"Okay. Today Miss Jiang said she wanted to buy some shacha sauce and thirteen spices, so we went to Chinatown and strolled around..."
Along the way, Li Mubai looked gloomy, as dark as the night before a violent storm.
"finger……"
The old lady thought for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Oh, right! Finger! The girl cut her finger, probably because she accidentally got it on the photo."
Li Mubai couldn't tell what he was feeling at this moment. He felt a little nervous and relieved. He pointed at the photo and asked, "Grandma, when was this photo taken?"
"This one……"
How did Jiang Li disappear? Was she kidnapped, or...
Li Mubai must understand this point!
Arriving at Chinatown, Li Mubai went straight to the place where Jiang Li disappeared. Since she disappeared here, there must be some clues.
When Li Mubai arrived, the broken glass on the floor had been cleaned up, and the old lady was tidying up the photos on the table with a sigh. When she heard that Jiang Li had disappeared, the old lady was also shocked. She was afraid that she would be falsely accused of human trafficking, so she followed and looked for her for a long time, but she asked every shop one by one, but no one had seen her. The neighbor next door also said that she only saw her enter the old lady's shop and never come out. The old lady was so upset that she wanted to curse. What do you mean she never came out after entering? It's as if their shop would eat people. They are doing a serious business!
When she came back and looked at the mess, the old lady felt that she was really unlucky. She just wanted to find someone to chat with, but how could she run into such a thing! She had just cleaned up the broken glass, mopped the floor, and was about to put the lid away to put away the photos, when she saw a few people rushing in.
One of them she knew, the guy who had just been drinking tea with the beautiful girl. This... he must be going back to get some help!
The old lady didn't bother to pack up the photos. She stood up tremblingly and looked at Li Mubai, almost crying: "I... I really don't have any Tibetans! I'm doing a legitimate business!"
Seeing that the old lady was frightened, Li Mubai quickly relaxed his tight mouth and comforted her: "Grandma, I didn't mean that. It's just that the person is missing, so I came to ask about the situation."
The corners of the old lady's mouth curved even more: "I... I don't know what happened! I went in to get a broom, and when I came out, the person was gone!"
"How long did it take you to leave and come back?"
The old lady pointed to the room and said, "My broom is in that small room. It will only take me... three minutes to come back."
"Do you remember what time it was?"
"Ten...it seems like just after eleven."
The old lady didn't look at the watch, but the clock in the shop would ring on time. She remembered that the clock rang when she entered the door.
Around eleven o'clock, which was consistent with the time Chen Luo said. When Chen Luo found that the person was missing, he deliberately looked at the watch and memorized the time.
Li Mubai remained silent, silently looking around the shop. When he came here just now, he paid special attention to the roadside surveillance. The surveillance here needs to be installed at one's own expense. Most stores don't install surveillance at all to save money. The small shop where Jiang Li disappeared is a small business, and it doesn't have any. Li Mubai turned around and said a few words to Zhou Qian and Chen Luo, and then they disappeared, one to the left and the other to the right.
Li Mubai also went into the shop and looked around, and found that there was no back door, and there was no place to hide. When he came out, Zhou Qian and Chen Luo also came back one after another. They had just gone to the shops on the left and right to ask about the surveillance. The shop on the left had surveillance installed, and found that no one had left the old lady's shop since Chen Luo left. The shop on the right had no surveillance, but the shop in front had, and it did not capture Jiang Li leaving.
Zhou Qian and Chen Luo looked at each other and both felt strange. Could it be that Jiang Li really disappeared in the shop?
"Where was Jiang Li sitting when you left?"
"here!"
Chen Luo and the old lady both pointed to a place, and Li Mubai sat in her previous seat, and then she noticed a tin can on the table. Li Mubai reached out and opened it, and found a photo album inside.
His pupils shrank, and Li Mubai's guess became more and more certain.
He flipped through the pages one by one until he found a faint bloodstain on one of the photos. The old lady saw him staring at a photo, so she leaned over to look at it, and she was shocked when she saw it.
"Oh my god! This is not the blood of a murderer! I..."
"I really didn't kill anyone! I...I don't know where this blood came from!"
Seeing that the old lady was about to faint from fear, Li Mubai quickly explained: "Grandma, don't be nervous. This blood may be from my fingers accidentally spilling it.
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be 1911 or 1912, I can't remember."
1911...
It was so long ago, a hint of worry flashed in Li Mubai's eyes.
Li Mubai was not worried at all when Jiang Li traveled through time because he had him in Hong Kong.
But by 1911, Li Mubai was not yet born, and Jiang Li was alone. What should she do?
Li Mubai became worried when he thought about the difficulties she might encounter.
Seeing Li Mubai's heavy face, the old lady also became uneasy.
She is really innocent. She just chatted with someone and who knew that such a big thing would happen.
Seeing that the old lady seemed frightened, Li Mubai quickly relaxed his expression, said a few words of comfort, closed the album, stood up and said goodbye to her. Before leaving, he gave her some money, saying it was to compensate for her glass.
Looking at such a thick stack of money, the old lady quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, that's just an old cup, why would I need so much money?"
"There is also a payment for hard work. Grandma, if the girl comes back, please give me a call."
Li Mubai handed the old lady a business card, crossed out the Hong Kong phone number, and wrote down his home phone number in Los Angeles.
"If you see her, tell her that I'll be waiting for her at home. If she needs anything to eat or wear, please pay for it first. I'll reward you handsomely later."
"Okay ok ok!"
The old lady nodded repeatedly: "If I see that girl, I will definitely tell you."
Li Mubai turned and left, Zhou Qian and Chen Luo followed him, both with heavy expressions.
"Boss, should we call the police?"
Li Mubai shook his head calmly: "No, let's go back and wait for her."
"Wait? Did Miss Jiang leave on her own?"
Li Mubai turned to look at Chen Luo and Zhou Qian, and said seriously: "Zhou Qian, go back and refund the tickets later. It seems that we can't go back for the time being."
