It was already past one in the morning, and the Maoye Building had long since closed for business.
Most of the building was pitch-black. Only the top floor and the elevator lobbies throughout the building were lit.
The front and rear entrances were both closed. Only a side entrance remained open.
Zhao Xun and Wang Biao went in through the side entrance.
"I..." Wang Biao had barely begun when he realized how quiet the building was. Even his voice echoed, so he instinctively lowered it. "I reckon that little girl must be on the top floor. The shutters on all the other floors are down. We can't get into those."
"Let's check the top floor first." Zhao Xun didn't argue with Wang Biao. That was all he said.
It wasn't that he thought the little girl had to be on the top floor.
But there was nothing wrong with checking the situation up there first.
Besides, after entering the building, all they could see was one working elevator and a securely locked roller shutter.
Unless they forcibly broke through the shutter, their best option was to take the elevator up to the top floor and have a look.
Even if there wasn't a single surveillance camera here, that didn't mean breaking something wouldn't trigger an alarm.
With the situation still unclear, it was better not to damage anything yet.
Zhao Xun and Wang Biao stepped into the elevator together.
Zhao Xun pressed the button for every floor.
"What are you doing?" Wang Biao looked utterly puzzled.
"Checking the other floors on the way." After pressing all the floor buttons, Zhao Xun turned to look at the promotional posters inside the elevator.
The seventh floor, the top floor, had a KTV and a movie theater.
Needless to say, KTVs stayed open
