The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 190 Flowing Loose Powder
"I was thinking... if this is his pace of life, then what he said about Lu Ying taking the wrong things is possible. Because his luggage is at this airport. Shanqiu, it seems we have to compare the whereabouts of these two people at the airport on March 3. They may not have intersected at the same time and place, but it is possible that they went to the same place one after another." Qi Fei said as he put on the rubber gloves he carried with him and began to check the pile of Chen Hao's belongings in front of him.

After rummaging around, a plastic box fell out of the old suitcase with a clang. Before Qi Fei could get a good look at it, Wu Shanqiu had already picked it up. "Isn't this Star Dust celebrity powder? How did Chen Hao get this?"

This sounded like gibberish to Qi Fei: "What the hell?"

"Ah, it's loose powder! It controls oil, sets makeup, and brightens. This SD Flowing Powder is so easy to use, but ease of use is only one aspect of it. As girls, just seeing the packaging makes us feel incredibly girly." Wu Shanqiu turned the powder box. It was decorated with delicate patterns and inlaid with rhinestones. The slight movement of the box made it sparkle under the light, making it look particularly dreamy. "This is the most out-of-stock item. Could this Chen Hao be working part-time as a cosmetics purchasing agent?"

When Qi Fei heard about cosmetics, he immediately became interested. He took the box of loose powder from Wu Shanqiu, looked at it carefully, opened the lid, and a scent of powder hit his nose, which made him, a rhinitis patient, sneeze violently.

"What a coincidence, the person he was pestering for the thing, Lu Ying, is a beauty blogger. It seems that there is something fishy about this matter." He stuffed the exquisite box back into Wu Shanqiu's arms.

Wu Shanqiu took a look inside the box: "Huh? This box of loose powder has been used by someone else. It's not new."

Qi Fei came over to take a look. To him, it was just some colorful powder inside. "How did you tell?"

"This loose powder is made up of five colors. In order to maintain the appearance of the product, SD has made a special design on the lid. When you open it for the first time, you can see a pattern of five-colored petals, which is very beautiful. You see, the powders are all mixed together. They must have been used by someone." Wu Shanqiu explained clearly.

"Then it's not the purchasing agent you guessed? Chen Hao is an older single man. What use does he have for this kind of used cosmetics? Unless, the owner of this thing is not Chen Hao."

"Are you saying this loose powder belongs to beauty blogger Lü Ying?" Wu Shanqiu frowned. "That doesn't make sense. Didn't Lü Ying say that it was Chen Hao who came to her and asked if she had taken the wrong thing? If that's the case, then wouldn't it be the other way around? It was Chen Hao who mistakenly took Lü Ying's things."

"Haha, then I have to ask Lu Ying if her SD powder is still there. First, put it in the evidence bag and take it back to the police station."

After saying that, Qi Fei continued to squat down and look through Chen Hao's belongings. After a while, he took out a few crumpled remittance slips from a suit pocket.

The amount of each remittance on the order ranges from several thousand to ten thousand, but the payee column remains unchanged, always being "Chen Yan". Basically, the remittance is made once every month.

According to Chen Hao's income, this payment frequency is basically his entire income.

As luck would have it, when they were about to leave the airport, they saw Chen Yan in the check-in hall. She seemed to be wandering around the hall aimlessly, and when she saw the airport staff, she approached them to ask something.

"Why is she here instead of staying in the hotel?" Wu Shanqiu muttered doubtfully as she thought about the payment slip.

The two approached Chen Yan and heard her ask a uniformed ground crew member, "Do you know Chen Hao? He's a pilot from your area."

"You can go to the airline he belongs to and ask, do you know which airline he is from?" The ground staff's attitude was very good.

But this question clearly stumped Chen Yan. "And the airline?" she asked, bewildered. "He said he works at your airport, but I don't know which airline he works for."

"Chen Hao is not a pilot." Qi Fei's voice came from behind Chen Yan.

Chen Yan turned around in surprise: "Officer Qi, why are you here too?"

The check-in hall was bustling with people, and Chen Yan was holding the wrinkled remittance slips with a blank expression.

"You, you said Chen Hao didn't become a pilot?" Her voice rose at the end, with a similar tone to Chen Hao's.

"As far as we know, Chen Hao has been working as a sales manager at Jitong Airlines Ticketing Company for many years. I think he didn't want to disappoint you, so he made up a lie." Qi Fei said as he sat next to her.

"Why did he send you so much money?"

"This is for my mom. She doesn't know how to use a bank card, so I gave it to her. My brother started sending money home a few years after graduation. My mom always said that we weren't short of money and that it wasn't easy for him to be alone out there, so she told him to keep it for himself. My brother would say that he made a lot of money as a pilot, so sending money home wasn't much.

My mom was of course happy to hear him say that..." She wiped the tears from her cheeks with her sleeve. "You said he has been living in this airport?"

"Well, yes." Qi Fei answered. In fact, he knew that it was better to say that he was wandering in the airport than living in the airport. Of course, he couldn't say that.

After hearing this, Chen Yan sighed for a long time: "My silly brother... Actually, my mother didn't use a penny of the money he sent to her. She said it was for him to save for marrying a wife."

"It's hard for us to understand his situation. What seems simple to us might be difficult for him to talk about." Qi Fei consoled Chen Yan. "I noticed that the amount of money he sent to you suddenly increased recently. I sent you 50,000 yuan at once. Do you know the reason?"

"My brother just said he was getting a promotion, and this was an early bonus. My mom said she rarely heard my brother so happy on the other end of the phone. We knew he was getting a promotion, and we were happy too. Who would have thought you would call and say something was wrong with my brother? It's like a nightmare. I wish it were all fake."
-
After Qi Fei drove Chen Yan back to the hotel, he turned the car around and headed towards the police station.

He was in a heavy mood and didn't say a word along the way.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the car: "Family, who understands... I really fell in love with this foundation recently~~"

"Oh, sorry, I pressed it accidentally." Wu Shanqiu turned off the video in a hurry.

"What the hell?"

"Ha, Lu Ying, I searched for her beauty videos for investigation, but big data remembered me and now recommends her videos to me every day. I accidentally clicked on it just now." Wu Shanqiu said helplessly.

"Well, I think we will meet this Lu Ying again soon."

Have a nice weekend, my little cuties.
