Chapter 194 Like a movie star

The two exchanged a glance, then walked in the same direction.

When they reached the door of the study, they saw Xiao Tao squatting down inside, tidying something up.

Zhou Zhinan walked over and then asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tao heard the sound, turned around and looked, then explained, "Oh, I accidentally dropped the photo album."

As Xiao Tao spoke, she squatted down to pick up the photo album, some of the photos of which had fallen out and landed on the ground again.

Just as Xiao Tao was about to pick it up again, Xu Yang walked up to her and squatted down to help her pick up the photo.

Zhou Zhinan also walked over, and his gaze swept across the photos. Judging from the elaborate backgrounds of the photos, they must have been artistic portraits taken by a professional photographer.

Many girls like to take family photos, and Zhou Zhinan was even dragged by his mother to take a family photo before.

Zhou Zhinan looked away, but in a flash, he suddenly noticed something and turned his head to look at the photos in Xu Yang's hand again.

When he saw the icon in the lower right corner, Zhou Zhinan quickly reached out and took the photo from Xu Yang's hand to examine it carefully.

Xu Yang and Xiao Tao were both puzzled by Zhou Zhinan's actions. After exchanging a glance, they also looked at the photos.

"Boss, is there a problem?" Xu Yang asked, puzzled.

Zhou Zhinan did not answer. After looking at one photo, he quickly flipped to the next one and soon finished looking at all the photos in his hand.

Zhou Zhinan looked up at Xu Yang and Xiao Tao with a serious expression. He silently handed the photo to them and pointed to the watermark in the lower right corner.

As Xiao Tao looked at the photos, she couldn't help but read them aloud, "A family portrait."

Xiao Tao looked up at Zhou Zhinan in front of her again, still somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Zhinan said in a deep voice, "I've seen similar photoshoots at Han Sisi's place, from the same studio."

When Xu Yang and Xiao Tao heard this, a look of disbelief flashed in their eyes.

The two cases were very similar, one involving the loss of both hands and the other the loss of the lower body.

However, they found no connection whatsoever between the two victims, making it impossible to link them together.

Now, they have finally discovered the connection between the two.

Xiao Tao had already taken out her phone and was quickly tapping something. Xu Yang asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Without even looking up, Xiao Tao said, "Check out this store."

With the internet so readily available, it's easy to find information about a store online.

Xiao Tao quickly found the relevant information online. She turned her phone around so that Zhou Zhinan and Xu Yang could both see it.

"This is the place," Xiao Tao said.

The shop is simply called "A Family of Artistic Photos," a very brief introduction. It includes a phone number and address, some group-buying information, and at the very bottom, some reviews.

Zhou Zhinan picked up the phone, clicked on it, and quickly scrolled through the comments. He didn't see anything wrong with them; they were just some casual photos of the store taken by customers.

"Let's go." Zhou Zhinan handed the phone back to Xiao Tao and walked out first.

Xiao Tao and Xu Yang quickly followed, both feeling excited, as this was the only connection they had found between the two victims in the past few days.

The neighborhood wasn't far from the store, but because it was lunchtime, there was a lot of traffic, and what should have been a ten-minute drive took half an hour.

However, it was precisely because of this delay that, by the time they parked their car and went back, the store was already closed. Next door was a clothing store, and the owner, seeing them lingering at the entrance, warmly asked, "Are you here?"

As she spoke, the proprietress pointed to the location of the shop next to hers.

Xiao Tao quickly replied, "Yes."

The proprietress said with a smile, "Unfortunately, the boss just left. He goes back to rest for two hours every day at noon before coming back."

Xiao Tao nodded as if she had just realized something, "Oh, I see."

"Yes, you can add me on WeChat to contact me, or you can come back later." Although it wasn't her own business, the proprietress still said cheerfully.

Xiao Tao understood, thanked the proprietress, went back, scanned a QR code outside the store with her phone, and started adding the owner's WeChat.

After finishing, Xiao Tao looked at Zhou Zhinan and asked, "Boss, what do we do now?"

Zhou Zhinan glanced at the shop, then checked the time, and said in a deep voice, "Let's grab something to eat nearby and come back later."

"it is good."

The three of them then wandered around the neighborhood and found a restaurant to have lunch.

While eating, Zhou Zhinan received a WeChat message from Zhou Xiaohua, which was a photo of her eating ice cream.

Zhou Zhinan, who had been feeling somewhat troubled, seemed to feel a little better when he saw the photo. He put down his chopsticks and replied to Zhou Xiaohua's message.

"It's getting cold, eat less."

I don't know if Zhou Xiaohua didn't see the message or if she saw it but didn't want to reply, but I didn't receive a reply from her.

Just as Zhou Zhinan was about to put down his phone, another message came in, but it wasn't from Zhou Xiaohua; it was from Ye Zihang.

When they found the store, Xiao Tao had already shared the information with Ye Zihang, asking him to retrieve the relevant information about the store as soon as possible.

Zhou Zhinan clicked in and examined it carefully, but couldn't find any problems with the basic information.

After finishing their meal, seeing that they still had some time, the group strolled around the neighborhood and inquired about the restaurant from nearby shops.

Because they lived on the same street, although they weren't familiar with each other, they knew a little about some things.

At first, Zhou Zhinan and his group didn't find out anything, until a middle-aged woman who ran a small shop said, "Manager Lin is very handsome, and his girlfriend is also beautiful, they both look like TV stars."

"So beautiful it's enviable," the middle-aged woman muttered under her breath.

"Girlfriend?" Xiao Tao's eyes lit up.

The woman nodded. "Yes."

After saying that, he frowned slightly, "But it seems like I haven't seen Xiaojing come over for a long time."

"Did you break up?" Xiao Tao pressed.

The woman shook her head again. "No, that's not it."

Before Xiao Tao could ask any further questions, the middle-aged woman continued, "They weren't always away from the store like this before. It seems that Xiao Jing works elsewhere, and Xiao Lin comes to the store less often to take care of her."

"There's nothing we can do. The industry is in a slump right now. Both of us are stuck in the shop, and whether we can make a living is another matter entirely," the middle-aged woman sighed again.
