The domineering president goes on a blind date

Li Anhe and Lei Te looked at Tong Nuanwan, their eyes revealing anticipation.

"This is a novel I once read. It tells the story of a woman who ordered a chair. But the carpenter who made the chair fell in love with the woman. He hollowed out the back of the chair and got inside. When the woman sat on the chair, the carpenter felt like the woman was sitting on him. But one day, the woman discovered the carpenter and he killed her."

"I can confirm that the layout of this scene is exactly the same as that described in the novel. However, I don't know if there is any connection between them. That's all I know."

"Novel?" Leiter scratched his hair with an expression of disbelief. "How can it be connected with the novel? Is it a coincidence? I'm going to the scene now. You guys come with me. Maybe we'll find something."

Li Anhe and Tong Nuanwan followed Lei Te to the crime scene. The scene was simply surrounded by yellow cloth and there was no one guarding it.

Tong Nuanwan looked at the surveillance camera on the ceiling with a puzzled look on her face.

"The surveillance here is just for show."

"The confidentiality is really good."

If the surveillance had been working properly, that person would not have been killed.

Lei Te handed each of them a pair of shoe covers. After Li Anhe put them on, Tong Nuanwan did not put them on because she did not intend to go in.

"Aren't you going in?"

"I'm not going. I'm outside."

This is the crime scene. Although Tong Nuanwan likes to read suspense and mystery novels, she is not obsessed to this extent. When she just walked to the door, she didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or the scene was just like this, but she always felt a gloomy wind surrounding her.

Li Anhe and Lei Te walked into the scene, and Ying Zong stayed with Tong Nuanwan.

The room is not very big, and you can see everything inside clearly even if you stand at the door.

Rhett walked over to the chair and tapped it gently.

He raised his head and looked at Li Anhe with a frown.

Li Anhe also knocked on the chair and then looked at Tong Nuanwan.

"hollow."

Tong Nuanwan stepped back, thinking that the murderer might still be inside.

After receiving Li Anhe's signal, Ying Zong stood in front of Tong Nuanwan and looked around vigilantly.

Rhett took out a knife and knocked around the chair, looking for a crack that would open the back.

Rhett inserted the knife into the back of the chair and moved it gently. With a creaking sound, the wood behind the back of the chair cracked.

Rhett gently moved the back of the chair away, and there was indeed space inside that could accommodate one person.

Leiter squatted down and observed the inside of the chair back. He put on gloves and laid the chair down. The light came into the space behind it, revealing the entire layout inside.

"What is that?" Li Anhe pointed to the innermost gap where there was a golden object.

Rhett took the things out and put them in the evidence bag.

"It looks like a button, and it's gold-plated. The owner must be someone extraordinary. It seems like this person is still on the ship."

Rhett looked around, a look of worry on his face.

Regardless of their status or position, the passengers on this cruise ship were people that he, a rookie policeman, could not afford to offend. Even if he found them, they could escape punishment through various means, and he would be the only one who would be in trouble.

"This kind of button is custom-made and easy to recognize. It belongs to a noble..."

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, thank you for your help. I need to discuss the next matters with our captain."

Li Anhe nodded.

"Then let's go back first."

It was not safe on the boat, so Li Anhe sent Tong Nuanwan back to the guest room.

"Wanwan, you must not go out alone. Now we can be sure that the murderer is on the boat."

"Eanhe, do you know that button?"

"Yes, I have a lot of clothes from this brand. This button is from an aristocratic brand that makes custom-made clothes for wealthy families. Moreover, each piece of clothing has its own characteristics. Just check at the headquarters and you will know who the owner of this button is."

"But I don't think Rhett wants to check."

"A person who can customize this brand of clothing must be either rich or noble. Such a person or the family behind him must have intricate connections with the political and business circles. It would be difficult to catch such a person."

"But someone has been murdered, isn't there anyone who cares?"

“That also depends on whether you have the ability to manage it.”

Tong Nuanwan's shoulders slumped. The poor victim also had family and friends. How sad they must be to have lost her.

"Okay, don't think about this anymore, let's take a rest."

Tong Nuanwan snuggled in Li Anhe's arms and slowly closed her eyes.

In the conference room, Rhett told the captain about the button and reported the news to headquarters.

"Captain, I checked. There was only one button inside the chair. There was no hair or sweat. The murderer might have been imitating the scene in the novel. This should be a premeditated action."

The captain looked at the button in his hand with a frown on his face.

"Wait a moment, Rhett, let me think about the case."

Rhett had no choice but to sit on the sofa at the side. He had just reported to the headquarters, but the headquarters did not respond, and he already knew what to do.

Since becoming a police officer, my job has become precarious. Every day I offend someone or someone else. People complain about me or complain about me.

The captain always looked at him with a look of disappointment. Finally, the captain couldn't stand it anymore and told him the way to survive.

When the police are upholding justice, they also need to have brains. They also need to think about themselves. The police also need to have self-esteem and cannot always think about justice. There is too much justice in the world and it is impossible to uphold it all.

As an ordinary person in the world, the first thing I think about is how to survive in this world.

Although Rhett carries the light of justice, he also understands what the captain means and he doesn't want to lose his job.

However, this is a murder case. What if this person targets other people on the cruise ship? Wouldn't this luxury cruise ship become a bloody journey?

Rhett looked at the captain, who had been staring at the button in deep thought, rubbing his brow with his right hand and sighing continuously.

"Captain, this is a murder case." Rhett even doubted what kind of profession the policeman, whom he had admired since he was a child, was.

The captain glanced at Rhett and continued to lower his head.

Rhett leaned on the sofa, stroking his thighs, looking at the ceiling with helplessness in his eyes.

With a bang, Rhett was startled and jumped up from the sofa, looking at the captain who was standing with his hands on his hips with a look of horror.

The sound just now was made by the captain hitting the table with his fist.

The captain didn't look at Rhett, but looked at the buttons on the table, his lips tightly pursed and his face flushed.

"Captain, Captain." Lei Te called softly a few times and walked forward cautiously, "Captain, what's wrong with you?"

The captain slowly raised his head and stared at Leiter's face for a few seconds. Then he stood up and handed the button on the table to Leiter.

"Investigate, investigate for me, find the murderer for me. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility." The captain's voice was so powerful that it could penetrate the steel plate of the cruise ship.
