An hour later, Ning Tao and Qingzhu came to the 2D Bookstore, where Jiang Tingting last visited. It was in a relatively remote location, mainly engaged in books and comics related to the 2D, as well as products around animation. The decoration was good, but the business was deserted.

"You go in first, I will come in later." Ning Tao leaned into Qing Zhui's ear and said, "When I came in, you pretended not to know me."

Qingzhui said curiously: "Why?"

Ning Tao said: "Jiang Fuquan said that the surveillance here happened to be broken the day his daughter disappeared. I vaguely felt that this was a bit too coincidental. We went in and pretended not to know them, which would reduce the attention of the people inside. We each looked for clues and came out to talk."

Qingzhao nodded, "Okay, should I go in first or do you go in first?"

Ning Tao said: "You go in first, I will come in later."

Qing Zhui entered the 2D Bookstore.

Ning Tao was not in a hurry to go in. He stood outside the door and observed the surrounding environment. It took several minutes to go in. When he went in, Qingzhu was chatting with a young clerk.

"Miss, you are so beautiful and elegant. If you come to play cosplay, you will definitely become popular. Do you want to try it?" The young clerk was very enthusiastic, and his eyes looked at Qing Zhui's eyes a little radiant.

"What does it mean?" Qing Zhui obviously didn't know what "cosplay" means.

The young clerk explained patiently: "Simply put, it is role-playing, imitating the characters in the anime. If you stand and don't move, I'll see who you are most suitable to play..."

Ning Tao did not continue to listen. He walked in next to Qing Zhui and the kind-hearted young clerk. The young clerk did not notice him because Qing Zhui was blocked by Qing Zhui.

There are dozens of bookshelves in the bookstore, full of books, comics, discs and figures related to the second dimension, as well as cosplay costumes and props. However, in such a large space, there are only two small customers reading comic books at a reading table.

Ning Tao looked at the corner of the wall, and there were surveillance cameras installed in both corners, with the cameras on. He pretended to look for discs, walked forward along the shelves, and then came to the end of the bookstore. There was a staircase with a red carpet leading to the second floor.

Ning Tao awakened the smell of his nose, and thousands of smells poured into his nasal cavity. He silently recalled the smell of Jiang Tingting he had recorded, analyzing and comparing them one by one, looking for the smell that Jiang Tingting might have remained here.

A minute later, he found the smell that seemed "familiar" and it was the smell that Jiang Tingting left in this bookstore.

This bookstore is a relatively closed space. As long as a person has been here, the smell released by his body will remain for a long time. Ordinary people cannot smell this smell at all, but for Ning Tao, it is generally easy to take things out. His nose is more sensitive than a dog's nose when he smells the technique, and the dog can smell the smell of people hundreds of meters away from it in an open environment. It can be imagined how strong the smell left by Jiang Tingting, who came here three days ago, is to him.

Jiang Tingting's smell was scattered throughout the bookstore space, some places were rich and some were thin. According to this situation, a "sidewalk" composed of smell appeared in Ning Tao's brain, which pointed in one direction.

Ning Tao followed the direction indicated by the locked smell and soon arrived at the end of the bookstore. In front of him was a staircase covered with red carpets, and next to it was a sign with the words "Tourist stops". Jiang Tingting's smell extended up the stairs. He hesitated for a moment and stepped onto the stairs.

At the front desk of the bookstore, the young clerk was still trying hard to persuade Qingzhu to join the cosplay club, but he didn't notice that Ning Tao went upstairs from the stairs on the surveillance monitor.

Qing Zhui saw it. She knew what Ning Tao was doing. She also cooperated with Ning Tao's actions to divert the attention of the young clerk. "This little brother, can you make money by stinging the ribs you said? I'm so poor recently that I want to buy a good bag. If I can make money, I want to try it."

An undetectable smile appeared on the corner of the young clerk's mouth, "Of course you can make money. I will introduce you to Mr. Zhang. With your figure and face, I promise that Mr. Zhang will sign a contract with you as soon as he sees you, and then take you to an animation exhibition. It's a slight idea to have a show of tens of thousands of yuan."

"Really? That's great. What's your boss' name?" Qing asked.

The young clerk said, "My boss is Zhang Weibiao, I'll give you his business card." The young clerk took out his wallet, took out a business card from it and handed it to Qing Zhui, and said, "My name is Zhang Lei. As long as you want, you can come to me at any time. By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is...Li Xiaohong." Qing followed and said a name casually.

Just when she was talking nonsense about the name of this terrible street, Ning Tao had already gone up to the second floor.

The second floor is a space dedicated to cosplay, with many strange costumes and props, as well as mirrors and dressing rooms.

Jiang Tingting's scent extends to the front of a prop coffin and ends in the coffin.

The coffin was a fake vampire's coffin, solid wood material, sprayed with black paint, leaned against the wall, with a narrow upper part and a narrow lower part. The coffin also carved the word "True Love is Blood".

Ning Tao came to the vampire coffin and sniffed the smell in the coffin with force. He not only smelled the smell of Jiang Tingting in the coffin, but also smelled a little bit of anesthetic. That smell was very familiar to a doctor like him and could easily be recognized.

However, this vampire coffin has obviously been cleaned. Both Jiang Tingting's odor and the anesthetic odor were extremely weak. Even when he was in a state of sniffing, he needed to smell it hard to discover it.

At this point, Ning Tao had a general truth in his heart - Jiang Tingting's disappearance was related to this store that operates the second-dimensional culture.

Ning Tao walked towards a genuine leather sofa placed in the corner of the wall. He sniffed at the sofa and remembered some smells. Then, he returned the same way.

Qingzhu was still talking nonsense with the young clerk.

The clerk who claimed to be Zhang Lei said, "Miss Li, you really don't have to worry about anything. Our boss is a big shot in this circle. He also knows many big directors. As long as you are willing to come, you may not have the chance to become a big star. I won't lie to you, just with your appearance and figure, it will only take two or three years to become a top-tier brand."

"Really?" Qing Zhui had an innocent expression on his face.

Ning Tao walked over Qingzhui and left the store. This time Zhang Lei saw him, but he didn't care. His attention was on Qingzhui.

"This is fake, so let's leave me a phone number," said Zhang Lei.

Qing Zhui looked at Ning Tao who had already walked out of the store.

Ning Tao didn't look at her, but nodded.

Qingzhui said, "Okay, my phone number is..."

Leaving a phone call, Qing Zhui also found an excuse to leave the 2D Bookstore. However, she did not talk to Ning Tao immediately, but walked for a long time before she got to Ning Tao and walked side by side with him.

"Brother Ning, what did you find?" she asked.

Ning Tao said: "A big fish, Jiang Tingting's disappearance is related to the bookstore we just visited. The other party handled it very cleanly, and the police's traces experts could not find the traces, but the smell could not deceive people."

Qing Zhui spit out his long tongue and then shrank back, "That guy named Zhang Lei gave me a business card from Mr. Zhang and asked me to snatch my ribs to death, but I smelled the smell of soul rot from his body. He is a very bad person."

"Show me that business card." Ning Tao said.

Qing Zhui handed the business card to Ning Tao.

Ning Tao took the business card and looked at it, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Zhang Weibiao? You can deceive the police, you can't deceive me. I want to calculate the debt you owe with you."

"Will we go find him now?" Qing asked.

Ning Tao said: "No, if you leave a phone number, he will definitely call you. You are so beautiful, he will not be moved."

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"why are you laughing?"

Qing Zhui looked very happy, "You praised me for being beautiful for the first time, and I can't help but be happy."

Dingling, Dinglingling...

Ning Tao's phone suddenly rang out the incoming call ringtone.

The caller was Bai Jing, "Where are you? That guy Xin Zhiyu sent someone to urge him. Come here quickly and let's go to Xin's house for a banquet together."

Ning Tao said: "We are on the street, you can tell me the address, we go there and meet there."

"Okay, just call a car and say Ronghua Mansion. The driver will know where you are going. We will meet at the door." Bai Jing hung up the phone.

Qing Zhui raised the corner of his mouth, "She doesn't even say anything to me, it's true."

Ning Tao said, "She is in a hurry, but this is the first time I have seen a monster that she regards money as more important than practice." While speaking, he waved his hand to stop a taxi.

"Brother Ning, actually...I..." Qing Zhui seemed to want to say something, but hesitated and didn't say it out loud.

Ning Tao opened the car door and said, "Get in the car."

He knew that what she wanted to say was probably related to Bai Sheng and Bai Jing, but for some reasons he didn't know, she could never speak. However, he could understand her. Everyone had their own secrets and some involuntary situations. She said it if she wanted to say it, and didn't say it if she didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't force her. Although he was curious about Bai Sheng's mission, it didn't matter if she didn't know it.

After Qing caught up with the car, Ning Tao also got into the car and said to the driver: "Master, go to Ronghua Mansion."

The driver looked back at Ning Tao, "Are you sure the place you are going to be Ronghua Mansion?"

Ning Tao said: "I'm saying it very clearly. Is there any problem?"

The driver said, "The people who went there drove millions of luxury cars, and no one took a taxi, so I was a little surprised, so I wanted to ask clearly and confirm it."

Ning Tao said, "Then drive."
