Manager Li wanted to ask how she knew the washrooms weren’t captured by the surveillance cameras.
Why did it seem like Young Master Jiu was better versed with the layout of the club that him?
“There isn’t much time, get your men to report the incident. We can talk as we go.”
After she was done, she headed towards the walkway at the side.
Manager Li: … Who exactly was the manager of this club?!
It was a pressing matter at hand and Manager Li didn’t have any experience in dealing with such a situation. This was after all a property under the Jiang family and just the background itself would deter others from steering trouble normally. But now, they were struck with this disturbing mess!
Manager Li arranged his thoughts. “There are many washrooms around, some of the private rooms carry their own washrooms and if you count those as well, there should be at least a hundred of them?”
“Public washrooms,” Bo Jiu replied calmly. “It wouldn’t be easy to find buyers if they did the transactions in the higher-end rooms.
Manager Li: … Young Master Jiu, with such an extensive knowledge, I’d start to think you are the one dealing.
“Public toilet.” Bo Jiu turned and stepped aside as she repeated once more, signaling for Manager Li to lead the way.
For the sake of being aesthetically pleasing, nightclubs didn’t have much levels.
The prime two floors were made to look like a palace, a brightly lit tower by the river bank making it apt as a place frequented by the high society.
That was how the Jiang family could maintain their wealth even without all those other business dealings.
A nightclub like this would always be bustling with customers, the amount of sales made from alcohol astonishingly high.
There were a total of four public washrooms on the two levels, two at the top and two on the bottom level.
Each of the four washrooms were extremely clean and some of the toilet bowls had an antique look. There were even large alcohol cases, all of which were used as decoration. There was also a lemon-scented air freshener which was aromatic and refreshing, clearing up the air.
However, only one of the washrooms had such a smell.
Manager Li followed the youngster around once, but couldn’t spot anything.
It was only until Bo Jiu mentioned it. “Let’s head back to the previous washroom.”
Manager Li replied, “Young Master Jiu, don’t you think we should wait for the police?”
“That isn’t necessary.” Bo Jiu glanced at him. “Trust me, the drugs are in the previous washroom. That thick lemon scent is probably to deal with the police in the event of a surprise raid. Only a dog with extremely strong senses would be able to detect the drug under such a strong lemon scent.”
Manager Li: … How exactly would you know that when even the police wouldn’t be able to detect it?!
Bo Jiu didn’t bother about the suspicious look Manager Li was giving her. Instead, she smiled lightly and walked into the washroom.
Without a moment of hesitation, she headed towards a small cubicle.
She looked through the cubicles with a water sink at the back.
She lowered her gaze, her silver hair falling downwards, shielding her expression. That entire image was extremely mesmerizing.
The youngster casually took a few steps forward and knocked the sink with her fists. With a lift of her lips, she pulled open the top of the sink. The entire chain of actions was smooth and fluid like, making her look very much like a true man.
Manager Li watched the entire thing in awe.
Her ability to remove the sink cap was almost like a professional.
Bo Jiu removed it to check the contents inside.
But if she was the only one removing the cap, it would take way too much time.
The youngster straightened and instructed. “Manager Li, get your men over and remove all sink tops, that will speed up the process.”
Manager Li didn’t know how to describe his current emotions.
Whatever, having someone to deal with the situation was better than nothing since the police hadn’t arrived yet.
With an order, he got four to five others into the washroom.
Bo Jiu glanced around the washroom and swept a glance over at the door. “Manager Li, could you please put a washing sign at the door?”
They were here to look for clues, hence, they couldn’t act with such a high profile. If they didn’t close the door, it would only bring them more trouble.
Manager Li was sincerely impressed by how Young Master Jiu commanded them without shame. It was almost comparable to their Young Master Jiang.
But this wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.
Even though he wasn’t sure how capable the youngster was, from the looks of things, he didn’t seem entirely clueless.
But wasn’t it weird?
Manager Li knew the former youngster and for him, even the word wastrel would seem like a compliment.
The youngster right now, on the other hand, seemed like an entirely different person.
He kicked open the cubicle door, his actions sharp and clean, and when he instructed others, he carried an air which couldn’t be defined.
“Hang the sign.”
A smart person like Manager Li would never use his past impression to make a judgement.
Hence, after Bo Jiu was done instructing, he immediately got his men to follow the order. It was to see if the youngster was really going to find something.
Other than the luxurious design, the washroom was much larger than the ones in other nightclubs with at around twenty cubicles.
The four of them continually opened the sinks, but none of them could move as fast as the youngster.
Manager Li was extremely perplexed by the scene.
In the end, with her lowered lids, she broke into a smile. She reached in the sink with one hand and signaled for Manager Li with the other, all without looking back.
As a manager of the biggest nightclub in Jiang City, a manager who was constantly addressed as Boss Li, he had never done such a dirty job before.
But he understood the youngster’s intentions and couldn’t just ignore it since there might be a finding.
Left without a choice, Manager Li pulled a handkerchief out from his pocket and used it to shield his nose as he headed forward.
When Bo Jiu turned, she came face to face with such a Manager Li. Fortunately, she hadn’t waited for the police to arrive since the one in charge of the case would definitely end up being the Almighty.
With the Almighty’s obsession with cleanliness, it would definitely be a torture for him to investigate in the washroom.
Hence, as his owner, she was indeed meticulous, resolving all his troubles before it would get to him.
Manager Li couldn’t comprehend the smile on the youngster’s face, but when he glanced down, his brows immediately slammed together. “What is this?”
A black plastic bag?
Bo Jiu lifted her brow. “It’s the things we were looking for, Manager Li. Aren’t you going to take it out?”
“We’re going to take it out from this?” The obvious reluctance was clear in his eyes.
Bo Jiu chuckled. “It’s just the sink after all, and it isn’t very dirty. What is it? Is Manager Li going to make a patron like me do it?”
