The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 192: Shining and lovable

Qi Fei immediately followed up Wu Shanqiu's words: "From this angle, Chen Hao should be able to see Lu Ying coming out of the maternity room."

"That's right! What's interesting is what happens next." Wu Shanqiu continued to play the surveillance footage mainly featuring Lu Ying. When she passed by the trash can, she casually threw a white object into it.

As soon as they left, the cleaning lady they had talked to at the airport passed by and started changing the bag in the trash can.

Then Wu Shanqiu played Chen Hao's actions from another perspective. About five minutes later, Chen Hao hurriedly blocked the cleaning lady's way and began to rummage through the garbage bag she had collected. After a while, he took out a similar piece of white paper.

"Huh? Is he looking for Lu Ying's things?" Qi Fei asked immediately.

"Well, I've asked Lu Ying, and she said that when she left the maternity room, she casually threw her plane ticket into a nearby trash can. From the surveillance footage, Chen Hao saw Lu Ying leave the maternity room and throw her plane ticket into the trash can, and then entered the maternity room. He must have discovered the swapped powder box and remembered to look for Lu Ying's information in the trash bag." Wu Shanqiu analyzed.

Qi Fei couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. "He works at a ticketing company, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to find this person's phone number. But he couldn't tell Lu Ying that he contacted her in this way, so he lied and said he checked the surveillance footage and that she took the wrong thing."

"But I don't understand. It's just a powder box. Why is he so nervous?" Wu Shanqiu asked puzzledly.

Qi Fei turned around and looked at the two loose powder boxes. The half-worn boxes were damaged to varying degrees. "It's more than just nervousness. Don't forget that he went to the Bird Pavilion to look for something. If he pestered Lu Ying to call to get this loose powder box back, then what about looking for the starling Xiao Hei? Xiao Hei wouldn't have taken the wrong cosmetics, right?" Qi Fei said, picking up Chen Hao's mobile phone that was not far away, opened his Douyin account, and looked through the browsing history after March 3. Sure enough, since that day, Chen Hao frantically browsed Lu Ying's beauty account for two days, but on the fourth day before he was murdered, the focus of his attention suddenly shifted to the starling Xiao Hei's account.

"Sure enough..." Qi Fei knew that this kind of either-or focus must be for the same purpose. The key is, what did he find in Lu Ying that made him so interested in the starling Xiao Hei?
"Dang, dang, dang, these are my trophies, aren't they shocking?!" Suddenly, Lu Ying's voice came out from Wu Shanqiu's trouser pocket.

"Oh my, what's going on with this damn big data?!" Wu Shanqiu took out her mobile phone, and sure enough, another video was accidentally touched and played automatically. She was about to turn it off, but was blocked by Qi Fei's hand.

"Wait, let's watch this together?" Qi Fei saw the title of the video—"Wear Star Dust on Your Wrist: A Nanny-Level Tutorial. Get Elegant Fairy Armor at Zero Cost for Clumsy People." Another title that sounded like gibberish to Qi Fei. He then showed Chen Hao's phone playlist. "A grown man, watching this video over and over again, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"Huh?" Wu Shanqiu was incredulous. "Then we really need to see what's so special about this video."

The moment the screen lights up, the camera focuses on ten boxes of flowing loose powder neatly arranged on the table.

"Girls, I finally used up ten boxes of the Flowing Light Loose Powder! But this box is so blingbling, and as a level 10 blingbling lover, I really can't bear to throw away any of it.

So, I decided to turn them into sparkling rhinestone manicures! "Lü Ying in the video is lively and sweet, completely different from what Qi Fei had seen her in. The comments section was filled with envy for the wealthy, but for Qi Fei, he just wanted to know what it was about this video that kept him watching it over and over again.

Lu Ying picked up one of the boxes and showed it to the camera close to her. "The most iconic feature of their boxes is the heart-shaped rhinestone in the center. It's pink and looks really pretty! There's only one in a box. Today we'll take them all off. I can't imagine how good they'll look when stuck on my nails!" Lu Ying said as she couldn't wait. The video started to speed up, showing her taking off the rhinestones one by one.

"This color is so fairy-like, sisters. I strongly suggest you don't throw away the used loose powder boxes. You can refer to this tutorial and stick rhinestones on your nails." In the video, Lv Ying finally completed ten manicures after some operation, and displayed them one by one in front of the camera. Under the blessing of the lights, they were magnificent.

"Hiss~~~~~" Qi Fei suddenly pulled the progress bar back and watched Lu Ying demonstrate each manicure process one by one again at 0.5 times speed, and finally paused at the one on the ring finger of his left hand.

"Brother Fei, what did you find?" Wu Shanqiu asked curiously, staring at the exaggerated manicure with rhinestones on the screen with wide eyes.

"The one on her ring finger looks more like a real diamond, not artificial." Qi Fei said, pointing to the glittering stone on the screen.

"That's impossible!" Wu Shanqiu exclaimed, "How much would a real diamond this big cost?"

"I can basically tell the difference between a real diamond and a fake one. If you carefully compare this pink diamond with other pink diamonds, their fire and luster are completely different."

"Ha! I always forget that you have seen valuable things since you were a child." Wu Shanqiu said with a smile.

Qi Fei curled his lips helplessly: "Let's not talk about this for now. If my judgment is correct, the diamond on her nail is conservatively estimated to be worth 200 million. If the actual condition is better, it might be worth 1 million."

"Damn, this price is too scary!" Wu Shanqiu exclaimed.

Qi Fei turned around and picked up the No. 2 loose powder box that Lu Ying had taken by mistake at the airport. The largest "rhinestone" on the lid of the box had been taken off by Lu Ying for her manicure.

"People die for money, birds die for food. It seems that Chen Hao, the ticket manager, has found a business that is more profitable than selling plane tickets, but Lu Ying treats it as a worthless decoration. No wonder he is so anxious." Qi Fei shook the loose powder box in his hand. The remaining small rhinestones gleamed cheaply, and indeed could not be compared with the one on Lu Ying's ring finger. "It seems that the focus is not on the loose powder, but on the box."

Wu Shanqiu subconsciously touched her polished nails and murmured, "Every time I ask Lu Ying a question, I can't help but watch her peel off the remaining nail polish on her nails. Brother Fei, those sparkling diamonds in the video are no longer on her nails..."
