Hearing that Xiao Liang had found out some information, I quickly went over to join her.

"Xiao Liang, you're the best. You found out so quickly!" I said with a smile.

Xiao Liang nodded and said, "Yeah, maybe because I'm a girl, no one was wary of me. I just asked a few casual questions and found out about Ge Xueying's boyfriend."

At this time, Uncle Mei and Jiang Yongguang also came out of their respective shops, and I quickly waved them over.

Seeing them, I asked with a smile, "How is it? Any news?"

Jiang Yongguang spread his hands helplessly and said, "I couldn't find out anything. As soon as these people heard that I was asking about Ge Xueying, they thought I was a pervert harassing a pretty girl and wouldn't tell me anything."

Uncle Mei immediately agreed and said, "Me too. A woman selling clothes even scolded me for being shameless, still thinking about a pretty girl at my age."

Xiao Liang and I laughed out loud, but we couldn't blame them for being wary. It did seem like Uncle Mei and Jiang Yongguang had ulterior motives when they were asking about a pretty woman’s whereabouts.

At this time, I quickly said, "Xiao Liang has found a clue. She found out about Ge Xueying's boyfriend."

Jiang Yongguang immediately gave a thumbs up and praised Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang smiled and said to us, "Ge Xueying's boyfriend is called Mu Mu. He's a singer who sings in a bar, and the bar he often works at isn't far from here. It's only a twenty-minute walk."

Jiang Yongguang nodded and said, "Then let's go over there now."

"Okay." Xiao Liang responded, walked ahead to lead the way, and took us to the bar to find Mu Mu.

We walked slowly, and by the time we got near the bar, it was completely dark, and a crescent moon hung in the treetops.

I heard a man singing and playing in the bar. He was singing a very famous song at the time, Rene Liu's "Later."

"Later, I finally learned how to love, but you, had already gone far away, disappeared into the crowd..."

Singers who can perform in such a bustling place usually have some talent. This person sang very well, with a faint sorrow in his voice.

Xiao Liang asked me, "Chen Rongsheng, do you think the person singing might be Mu Mu?"

I said it was possible, but we'd have to go inside to find out.

The four of us walked straight into the bar, chose a booth, and ordered four bottles of beer.

When the waiter came to serve us the beer, Jiang Yongguang asked her, "Is the singer Mu Mu?"

The waiter smiled and shook her head, saying, "Brother Mu didn't come today. He's resting at home."

Jiang Yongguang asked again, "Could you ask where Mu Mu lives? Is it far from here?"

The waiter's expression immediately became wary, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know. I'm not familiar with Brother Mu."

People who work in bars often have to deal with people from all walks of life, and over time, they inevitably make enemies. A singer like Mu Mu probably provoked some unsavory characters as well.

This waiter probably knew where Mu Mu lived, but she just wasn't willing to say.

Jiang Yongguang saw that she wasn't telling the truth at a glance, smiled at her, and said, "Don't be afraid, miss. We're not bad people."

After saying that, he took out his police badge and quietly showed it under the table, continuing, "Don't worry, Mu Mu hasn't committed any crimes. We're just here to ask him about some things. I hope you can cooperate, okay?"

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Since she knew our identity, she naturally didn't dare to refuse to cooperate, and immediately wrote down an address for us, saying, "Brother Mu lives here. You can find him if you go there."

We thanked her, didn't even bother to drink the beer, and took the address to find Mu Mu.

The address the waiter gave us was in a relatively new residential area at the time. Mu Mu lived in a semi-basement.

We knocked on the door, and a man's voice immediately came from inside: "Who is it?"

Jiang Yongguang told Xiao Liang to speak. As a girl, she wouldn't arouse suspicion so easily.

Xiao Liang pinched her throat and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Brother Mu, please open the door!"

This trick worked. Mu Mu immediately opened the door, then walked out shirtless, wearing shorts, looking sloppy.

"Who are you?"

As a result, as soon as he came out, he saw not only Xiao Liang with her high-pitched voice at the door, but also me, Jiang Yongguang, and Uncle Mei, three big men. He panicked immediately and subconsciously wanted to retreat back into the door.

Jiang Yongguang quickly showed his credentials and said, "Mu Mu, don't be afraid. We want to ask you about your girlfriend, Ge Xueying."

Although Jiang Yongguang showed his credentials, Mu Mu still didn't believe us. He said warily, "How do I know you're really from the government? These identities can be faked now! I don't believe you."

Jiang Yongguang said approvingly, "Your anti-fraud awareness is quite strong. That's commendable."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone, dialed 110 (Chinese emergency number), handed it to Mu Mu, and said, "You can call the police and ask them to verify my identity. The method is very simple. Just report my police number and see if it matches the one on my credentials."

I thought that Mu Mu should believe us at this point, but this guy actually made the call and verified Jiang Yongguang's identity with the operator for a long time.

It wasn't until he finally confirmed that the identity was correct that he let us in.

"So you really are government people. What do you want to know about Xueying? What happened to her?" Mu Mu asked with a frown.

Jiang Yongguang didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Have you been in contact with Ge Xueying recently? When was the last time you contacted her?"

Mu Mu gave a wry smile, scratched his messy hair, and said, "It's been two or three months since we've been in contact. We broke up a long time ago."

"Broke up?" Jiang Yongguang asked in confusion, "Why did you break up? When exactly did you break up?"

Mu Mu was a little dissatisfied with these questions and glared at Jiang Yongguang, saying, "You government people are meddling too much, aren't you? You even want to know why I broke up with my girlfriend? Can I refuse to answer this question? This is my privacy!"

Jiang Yongguang said calmly, "You can refuse to answer, but you must be prepared to bear the consequences. Because the questions I'm asking you are related to a series of murders."

"What?!"

Mu Mu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise,

"My god, are you kidding me? Did something happen to Xueying? Was she killed?"

Jiang Yongguang shook his head and said, "I can't reveal the specific details to you. I can only tell you that Ge Xueying has not been killed. But I hope you can actively cooperate and answer my questions properly."

After understanding the seriousness of the matter, Mu Mu's attitude finally softened. He sat down on the bed, rubbed his long hair, and said compromiseingly, "Okay, then ask away. I promise I'll tell you everything I know..."
