After a while, the old man fainted and took a long time to wake up. He was unaware of his previous madness, but he remembered seeing the clip of the female corpse suddenly opening her glasses on the Jing'an River. Wang Ya suspected that the old man might have been unknown. Hypnosis. When asked again about the whereabouts of Chunxiao, the old man said that he was a bachelor and had no children at all.

Wang Ya speculated from this that Chunxiao was probably one of the missing girls and used the old man to report the crime.

Wang Ya could only go to Meihua Bookstore again. For Wenxiang's safety, Wang Ya specifically told Mo Xi to watch over Wenxiang and not allow Wenxiang to go to Meihua Bookstore again. Wang Ya pretended to be a rich young man and quickly became familiar with two foreign regulars inside. One of them, Louis, was the manager of the Hotel des Nations, and the other, Mendel, was Louis' assistant.

Wen Xiang couldn't sit still at all, and insisted on going to Meihua Bookstore despite Mo Xi's dissuasion. Mo Xi had no choice but to go with him, because the last time a woman disguised herself as a man and met Tang San, in order to avoid being recognized, Wen Xiang wore a disguise this time. Dressed in coquettish women's clothing, Moxi sneaked into Tang San's room to search for the list of missing girls, and smelled the fragrance and stood sentry in front of Tang San's door.

When Tang San was about to go back to the room, Wen Xiang deliberately came up to chat with her. Tang San thought it was a new girl, so he brought Wen Xiang to Louis and Mendel. Wang Ya happened to be there too, and both Louis and Mendel were accompanied by girls. Wang Ya Wang Ya sat alone on the chair, and Tang San directly threw Wen Xiang into Wang Ya's arms.

The most important thing right now was to leave the Meihua Bookstore. The two of them pretended to be prostitutes and left with the girl. As soon as they walked to the door, they bumped into Tang San. Tang San recognized at a glance that Wang Ya was the same person who showed up to him last time. Qiaomei's detective, who was looking for information, took action. Wang Ya was outnumbered and was surrounded. Moxi suddenly threw a smoke bomb, and the three of them left Meihua Book Apartment in confusion.

Moxi made a big discovery in Tang San's room. There was a secret compartment at the back of the library, and there was a ledger inside, which clearly recorded the time when each girl disappeared. On the day of disappearance, a sum of money would be entered into the account. There is a pendant next to it, engraved with the word "Dono".

Wang Ya also found out that there was a hotel under Louis' name, so he went to find out. In the hotel, Moxi used smoke bombs to lure out Louis Mendel. Wang Ya smelled the fragrance and saw Ru Yue and Shi Yun in the room, so he took them away. .

Wang Ya asked Wen Xiang to take the two girls to the patrol room to report the crime, while he and Mo Xi kept an eye on Tang San first. Wen Xiang told Zheng Yifei about the recent discovery. Zheng Yifei was about to arrest Tang San, but was stopped by Tom.

There was a place where the soil was loose. After digging it up, he found that the coffin was empty. Wang Ya guessed, The twenty missing girls were probably buried nearby, so they reported the case again to the patrol room.
