Chapter 4: MEETING

“Hey, you need to explain it to me?” Egbert was driving on the road, suddenly remembered the problem, so he quickly asked Louis, “Why One Night bar? I mean why a bar and not some garden or farm.”

“That sentence means greed…” Louis looked out of the window, his attitude was a bit rushed but he knew he couldn't do anything more, so he could only entertain himself by looking at the trees on the side of the road. crows' greed for sunflower seeds in the summer. Crows are not sun-loving animals, but they even dared to rush into their favorite food despite the intense sunlight."

“So what does that have to do with the bar?”

“Lust… The bar is a place where people feel satisfied, where they can turn themselves into crows and rush into drugs like crazy.” Louis began to open his notebook and began to take notes, “But why One Night Bar! Because it was a place where, as you said, it was difficult for the police to reach because the drug trafficking and money laundering ring was still operating illegally at this bar. That's why crows are constantly looking for prey in the dark, and we are the sun; Sunflower is a drug. That bar must be some kind of mystery that the kidnapper wants to leave us with.”

“We investigated the operation of the bar, nothing out of the ordinary and even unusually normal. A bar that does not have any acts of harboring or still transporting drugs, even this place has been named one of the cleanest bars in Italy. However, some information we have investigated shows that the bar has an underground way of operation and the owner of that bar is never in France. It is said that he is living in Italy and has entrusted the management of the bar to a cousin. All of this put together is really not normal.” Egbert said.

“Let’s go there first, don’t we have a case waiting there!” Louis is still quiet, he said coldly, his cold demeanor is when he has too many thoughts in his head, he does not want to be distracted by others.

Summarizing the given factors, perhaps Louis correctly guessed the location that the kidnapper gave, less than a day, the two solved the location and went to that location. As soon as he got out of the car, the surrounding space was different from what Louis imagined. Police cars are only about two and are parked quite far from the bar, what makes this seemingly ordinary bar so scared of the elite French police team. However, Louis still kept a silent attitude, he wanted to observe more to get more information before coming to a conclusion.

“Boss Flynn…” The voice of a female police officer was in the distance. She wore a tight black dress, looked extremely strong, the girl tied her hair up, her hair was long to her waist. “You two have already arrived, we just arrived together, waiting for you two to arrive to distribute the work.”

“Giselle Whisley, long time no see!” Louis held out his hand. “You don't seem different from before. Still strong and beautiful.”

"We haven't seen Professor Edward for a long time, we thought we would never get the chance to see you again, it's really an honor this time." Giselle reached out her hand to shake Louis's, her act was so natural as if she'd done this a thousand times. "I heard from boss Flynn about your wife, we are very sorry but we will definitely try to find your wife and keep her safe."

"Thank you," Louis said rather quietly, a slightly sad expression in Louis' eyes, but he quickly returned to normal soon after.

Giselle saw her two teammates also coming over to say hello and began to introduce Louis to them: “Professor, it seems you already know Ronal, but Jacob is newbie. Jacob, this is Professor Louis Edward, professor of criminal psychology. And this is Jacob, our new investigator.”

"Professor Edward, long time no see." Ronaldo spoke up, smiled, and shook Louis's hand.

“Professor Edward, I've heard of your reputation for a long time. It's my pleasure to meet you now, just call me Jacob if you don't mind." Jacob slyly stood up to greet the young professor. “I thought professors would be old men, but the professor looks really young, so admirable.”

Louis laughed at Jacob's somewhat joking words, this guy in the investigation team will make the investigation team laugh all day. Egbert realized that everyone had finished their introductions, so it was time to get to work. However, he also admitted that the police force was not many, nor did he know if they had not arrived or had returned.

"Well, about the police force, the East team said that because boss Flynn will take this case, he has withdrawn his troops to let us arrange as we please." Giselle spoke up when she noticed that Egbert's expression was somewhat puzzled.

“Damn it, we are the top scene in France, not something you want to borrow. After this case, I will definitely remove this person.” Egbert is somewhat angry at the way the police work here.

"That's also good, if you don't have a lot of forces, you won't make others panic. And when they don't panic, it's easier to reveal themselves and help us more." Louis began to analyze the situation. "Let's go inside, we need to see what is the code the kidnapper wants to leave us with?"

The team of five entered the One Night bar together. Two years ago this same team solved thousands of tough cases across Europe, admired by the whole of Europe.

“He certainly found the place. Faster than I imagined…”

The hoarse sound came out again. In a vintage room decorated in European style, the man looks into the camera of the One Night bar and watches Louis's men begin to investigate the bar. Everything seemed to be going according to the plan he expected, he smiled slightly, revealing amazingly yellow teeth. He looked up at the bed, on the bed, Phoebe looked at him with lifeless eyes. Her limbs were still handcuffed, her mouth still covered, but she seemed much more alert; The fever has subsided and the wound on the wrist has been treated with medicine. Phoebe also couldn’t make a sound, she just looked at the kidnapper with cold eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Look at him, it turns out that he also came here for her. It's commendable for a husband who is inadvertently dishonest, isn't it?"

The kidnapper began to climb onto the bed, his hands starting to trace Phoebe's body. Phoebe moved slightly, but just by moving, her handcuffs and legs would touch the wound causing pain. The kidnapper slowly touched her leg and then slowly stroked up her thigh and then he started gliding up her breasts again. Phoebe felt both ticklish and disgusted, her throat seemed to want to vomit but couldn't.

“Sweet, you smell so good, Phoebe. You are one of those muses that will complete my beautiful picture. Why are you still a virgin after more than a year of marrying him?"

Phoebe's tears fell softly. That's right, he hadn't touched her body since the day he married Louis Edward. On the outside, Louis deeply respects her, but in reality his heart belongs to another girl.

The kidnapper left, he was not without desire for Phoebe's body but he always felt that he did not deserve this body. He went down to the basement, below was a young girl also imprisoned, the blond girl looked at him with frightened eyes. She is the girl who had sex with the guy at the One Night bar and caused the other guy to die. She listened to a stranger and after he arranged everything, he brought her here and began to imprison her here.

"Don't hurt me." The girl was scared when she saw him approaching her.

The kidnapper didn't say anything, he just gently unlocked the handcuffs for the girl. He gave the girl a cotton towel and a set of clean clothes so she could wash up. The girl thought that the kidnapper would spare her, so obediently did as he said. She washed herself clean, her body showing the scent of shower gel. Perhaps she hadn't washed in the last few days, so when she did, the girl felt her mood was a bit more comfortable. She slowly stepped outside, the scent of frankincense made the girl feel very safe and comfortable. She gently walked over to the bed and sat down, she watched the kidnapper fidgeting with something, so focused that he didn't notice her presence at all.

“What do you want me to do? Why detain me? You promised you wouldn't put me in jail, but what you do now makes no difference." The girl said.

"What is your name?"

“Lyly Swat, don't try to make fun of my name. It doesn't mean anything evil." Lyly said.

“Poor her. Maybe she was laughed at a lot.”

The kidnapper started to look in Lyly's direction making her a little embarrassed, then started to move to the side of the bed, touching Lyly's somewhat disheveled locks. He kissed her on the lips, his hand on her breast and began to squeeze gently, this feeling was something Lyly hadn't felt for a long time, she started to get high and started to get out of control her mood. She kept having sex with him.

The team searched all day but found nothing. Despite contacting the forensic team and the technical team, the result is still nothing. Egbert was starting to get frustrated, banging his hands on the wall in anger. Louis didn't know where the clues ended up either.

“Damn it, what are you looking for?” Egbert said. "We've been searching all day, it's both labor-intensive and labor-intensive."

“We need to know what he wants us to find. A One Night bar is small, but not knowing what to look for is like finding a needle in a haystack.” Louis suggested, “Call the manager, maybe we need to negotiate with him for a bit.

Giselle's group quickly took orders and left, leaving only Egbert and Louis on the sofa in the room. Everyone's mood was extremely heavy, although no one said a word to each other, both knew what the other was thinking. Suddenly, Louis stood up, he was going to go around to see how the situation was when, as soon as he stepped outside, Louis received a sudden punch.

Egbert was startled to see Louis being punched hard and then falling to the ground. At the same time, Giselle's group also returned with the manager, accidentally witnessing the same scene. Louis looked up to see who was punching him, he didn't understand the situation when in front of him was a rather young-looking guy, wearing a very elegant black suit.

“Why did you do that? Why can't Phoebe be protected?" The young man growled, he knelt down and grabbed Louis's collar and pulled him up.

“Royal…Why are you…Ah yes, this is…” Louis panted, it seemed that the blow just now was so strong that it made the corner of his mouth bleed. Louis wiped his lips and stood up.

The whole group of Giselle was about to rush, but Louis put out his hand to stop them, not wanting to let them come. Even Egbert was surprised to not understand what was happening.

“Louis, explain a bit…” Egbert worried for Louis when he saw that he was being beaten by a stranger who didn't even fight back.

“Royal, I will explain.” Louis said.

"It seems I'm the one who needs to explain." Egbert grumbled.

"If there's any danger in Phoebe, I'll be the first to kill you, Louis Edward."
