The two of them looked at each other, then walked straight up the stairs to the billiard hall on the second floor.
The billiard hall was not very bright, but it was noisy. Business was quite good, and almost every table was occupied.
"I'll guard the entrance in case he misses you.”
Hao Wei knew that Fan Ming didn't know that they were going to catch him, so he wouldn't be on guard. It would be too big of a commotion to mobilize a large number of people to catch him, and it would be easy to alert Fan Ming and make him escape in advance.
Therefore, he did not send other police officers to reinforce him. He only informed a small team of police officers to stand by two kilometers away from Hong Kong City University and wait for backup orders at any time.
Li Ze nodded and began to patrol the billiard hall.
He had played with Fan Ming before, so he was familiar with Fan Ming's height and appearance. After looking around for a while, Li Ze searched almost all the pool tables, but he still could not see Fan Ming.
Li Ze thought for a moment, then walked into the toilet and checked every cubicle, but he still couldn't find Fan Ming.
Apart from the women's washroom, Li Ze had searched almost the entire billiard hall. Could it be that Fan Ming was in the women's washroom, or that the information Yang Fei sent him was inaccurate?
Li Ze first ruled out the problem of intelligence. Although Yang Fei was usually careless and seemed a little unreliable, Li Ze knew him very well. As a top hacker, Yang Fei's ability to obtain information was superb. There was almost no mistake.
Could it be that…Fan Ming was really in the toilet?
Just as Li Ze was standing at the door of the female washroom, hesitating whether he should enter the female washroom to search for the suspect Fan Ming, the door of the female washroom suddenly opened and a familiar figure walked out.
"Li Ze? Why are you here?"
Susie looked at Li Ze in surprise.
"I'm looking for Fan Ming, but I don't see him anywhere. I don't know if he's in the ladies 'room.”
Li Ze said calmly.
"Fan Ming? Are you talking about the fourth-year student from the School of Management? Why was he in the women's washroom…There was no one in the women's washroom now.”
"You know him too?"
Li Ze said in surprise.
" Of course I know you. The news of you playing basketball with Fan Ming has spread all over the school's Tieba forums. Someone even recorded the video of you playing basketball…"
Susie's long eyelashes fluttered, and there was a look of admiration on her delicate face." I saw your basketball video online…You were so cool!”
"But speaking of which…I think I saw Fan Ming go out earlier…"
" When I was shopping with my roommates in the back street, I suddenly had a stomachache," Susie said." I could only go to the billiard hall to use the bathroom. At that time, I saw him leave the billiard hall."”
"Where did he go?"
Li Ze quickly asked.
" I don't know…But he was on the phone at that time. He looked a little nervous and left in a hurry. He also mentioned the words 'Backstreet Hotel.'"
"He looks nervous?"
Li Ze raised his eyebrows slightly." Are you sure?”
"I can't be completely sure. After all, the billiard room is quite dark, but I can still feel that his tone is very nervous.”
"Very good, you've been a great help."
Li Ze gently patted Susie's little head and said,""I still have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. You can continue shopping with your roommates.”
Susie nodded obediently, then silently watched Li Ze disappear from her sight.
"Backstreet Hotel."
Li Ze came to the entrance of the billiard hall and whispered to Hao Wei beside him.
Hao Wei immediately understood what Li Ze meant and followed him out of the Imperial Billiard Hall.
The Backstreet Hotel that Susie mentioned was not far from the Imperial Billiard Hall. It was only a few hundred meters away. Li Ze and Hao Wei jogged all the way to the entrance of the hotel.
After entering the hotel, Hao Wei showed his police ID to the front desk lady." I'm a criminal police officer from the municipal bureau. Did a boy named Fan Ming book a room here before?”
Seeing the police badge in Hao Wei's hand, the uniformed receptionist did not dare to be negligent. She quickly used the computer system in front of her to check.
"Officer, I'm sorry, but we can't find Fan Ming's registration record here.”
"No?"
Hao Wei was stunned.
"In the past hour, did a boy with a height of 1.75 to 1.8 meters, a Korean blonde hairstyle, and a fair skin come to your hotel?”
Li Ze asked.
"You mean the tall and handsome boy? Yes, he came to our front desk half an hour ago and asked us where the elevator entrance was.”
One of the front desk ladies with a ponytail and heavy makeup said,"I guess his friend has already booked a room. He hasn't come out yet.”
"Check your surveillance records and see which room he went to!”
Li Ze ordered decisively.
"This…we have to call our boss…"
the receptionist said hesitantly.
"Let me tell you, our city bureau's captain Hao Wei, we are currently investigating a case. If you delay the case because of you, don't blame me for holding you accountable!”
Hao Wei immediately revealed his identity as the captain of the criminal police. This deterrence was indeed quite effective. The front desk lady opposite him immediately nodded nervously and agreed," I... I'll help you check the surveillance cameras now..."
"Hurry up. It's not too late to call your boss after you're done! When the time comes, just say that I, Hao Wei, asked for it!”
"Alright…alright!"
The receptionist immediately operated the computer nervously and then told Li Ze and the other a room number.
"That boy…he went to room 306!”
