Be in low spirits
Chapter 24: Rich People's Gathering
The successive deaths of two rich kids caused an uproar in the city. Public opinion was everywhere. Newspapers, news, and the Internet were all saying that the two children had died mysteriously. Many people even speculated that it was revenge from other wealthy people, which made Li Li feel under great pressure.
He locked himself in the office for a night and was woken up by Shu Botian's parents knocking on the door early in the morning.
The two old men cried and shouted at him to solve the case quickly, otherwise they would not let them have an easy life. Li Li argued with them in the conference room for a while, and sent them away after writing some letters of guarantee. After sending them away, Kong Zhixi came back to the police station from outside. She came to Li Li and handed him the surveillance video of Dr. Liu that she had copied and said, "Although Dr. Liu studied medicine abroad, he is quite interested in traditional Chinese medicine, so he knows poisons such as Datura and Abrus precatorius very well, and it is not difficult for him to get these drugs."
Li Li had a headache. He looked up at Kong Zhixi and said, "Shu Botian's parents are here. They want us to solve the case within a certain time limit and hold a press conference to stop the public opinion."
"Did they take the body back?" Kong Zhixi felt that it was normal for the two elderly people to be in a bad mood after seeing their son die and the media using these things to speculate on them.
"No, they are just worried about the stock price of the family business." Li Li's tone was full of fatigue and disdain.
"This is strange. Is this son so bad that they are unwilling to acknowledge him?" Kong Zhixi never understood the actions of these two parents.
"Our top priority is to find evidence and bring the murderer to justice!" Li Li suddenly stared at Kong Zhixi with a firm gaze and said something righteous.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that they are having a party recently. If we don't solve the case, the party will be very lively." Kong Zhixi told the news she heard outside.
"Should we go and take a look too?" Li Li suggested.
"You just sent those two big Buddhas away, why are you rushing to send them in now?" Kong Zhixi was puzzled.
"Maybe there will be some discoveries?" Li Li felt that a family like this could still hold such a party or dinner after such a thing happened, and he would be able to find a lot of problems if he went to take a look.
"You can't just get in if you want to, right? Do you need an invitation or something?" Kong Zhixi felt that it was not so easy to get into the circle of rich people.
"Don't you see who I am? I have a way." Li Li said mysteriously.
Kong Zhixi only knew that this guy should be a rich second-generation, but she didn't expect that he could even get into this circle of wealthy people with a net worth of over 100 million.
Kong Zhixi looked at her skin again and thought that it would be too shabby to wear this to the party. Most importantly, it would be easy to expose. Li Li saw her concerns and said, "Don't worry, I'll get you one when the time comes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Zhixi felt that this was too surprising. She jumped up and put her arms around his neck, saying, "Keep your word. If you go back on your word, you're just a puppy."
Li Li also smiled and told her solemnly that he would never regret it.
As a result, when it was time to get off work, Li Li came back from outside, took over Kong Zhixi's shift, and told her to go home early and have a good rest today because there would be a tough battle to fight tomorrow.
Kong Zhixi gave him a meaningful smile in return, and looked forward to wearing a beautiful dress tomorrow. Although she was investigating a case, at least she would have a dress to wear and could put on some beautiful makeup. It had been a long time since she had put on some makeup and gone out in beautiful clothes.
When she got home, she couldn't wait to see her dress, but Li Li said mysteriously, "You have to change into this dress tomorrow morning. Don't look at it yet. I'm afraid you'll be too excited and ruin it."
Although Kong Zhixi was somewhat unhappy, she didn't insist because what he said made some sense.
Until going to bed, Kong Zhixi was full of anticipation for tomorrow's party. She firmly believed that she would shine when she fell asleep. She even thought about whether she could find some components to assemble a camera to record this highlight moment.
Li Li thought that it might be a good thing if time stopped at this moment, which would give her something to look forward to. However, when she thought about her expression when she saw the waiter's uniform tomorrow, she felt that it would be very funny.
The darkness came quickly and left quickly. In the morning, when Li Li threw the waiter's clothes on the back seat, Kong Zhixi was completely stunned. "You... won't...?" She uttered these words with difficulty, hoping to use this weak breath to awaken a little bit of his conscience.
Unfortunately, Li Li could only nod. Facts are often not as expected. Although he had thought about her reaction many times, he still couldn't help laughing when he really saw it.
Kong Zhixi almost rolled on the ground. She couldn't even convince herself to get in the car and go back to the office.
Li Li comforted her: "Okay, okay, we are investigating the case anyway, so don't worry about your clothes. Besides, isn't it inconvenient to wear a dress? At worst, I can take you out for a nice meal after the case is over."
Although he was very reluctant, he had to get on the car and go back to the bureau for the case. In the bureau office, Li Li always wanted to laugh every time he saw her resentful eyes. For the first time, he felt that the world was not so boring.
After dealing with some matters regarding the female corpse at the police station during the day, the two men changed into the waiter's clothes and set off for the gathering place of the rich.
Everyone in the kitchen was busy, everyone was in a hurry, the chef stood on a high place directing the people in the kitchen, the foreman stood in front of the rows of waiters and gave them lectures, saying that they should not ask questions that they should not ask, and should not listen to things that they should not listen to. In short, they should just do their own jobs well. Kong Zhixi stood in the back row, and it was difficult to see the foreman's face clearly, but the girl standing next to her was very happy.
Kong Zhixi greeted her and asked her what she was happy about. The girl leaned close to her ear and whispered, "All the rich people in the city are here at this party. If you can get close to one of them, you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
She looked at her innocent and lovely face and felt that if someone really took a fancy to her, she would be eaten up. She smiled awkwardly at her and said, "Good luck to you."
After the foreman finished his lecture, everyone started to get busy. Kong Zhixi was so busy that she had no time to care where Li Li had gone. His questions could be heard from the headphones from time to time, which annoyed her so much that she wanted to lose her temper. So she yelled at the headphones, took them off and put them in her pocket.
After being busy for a long time, the protagonist finally appeared. Rich young men arrived one after another, their dresses and makeup were carefully dressed, and everyone's face seemed to have a price written on it.
While the wine was being served, Kong Zhixi avoided the foreman's sight, leaned on the table, took a handful of popcorn, pulled out one, threw it in the air in a perfect arc, and then caught it beautifully. Li Li stood beside her, grabbed the popcorn in the air with his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked, "What did you find?"
"Well, the two people standing next to the real estate tycoon Huang Tong are Shu Botian's parents. They don't seem to be sad at all about losing their son. It turns out that the person speaking on the stage is their daughter." Kong Zhixi took another handful of popcorn.
"Well, it seems that this daughter should be their only heir now, so that means..." Li Li snatched most of the popcorn from Kong Zhixi.
"That means she is a vested interest in Shu Botian's death." Kong Zhixi took over his words and grabbed another handful of popcorn.
"You two seem quite leisurely!" The foreman's voice suddenly appeared behind them, scaring Kong Zhixi so much that the popcorn in her hand fell to the ground. The two of them hurried back to the kitchen in shame.
After a while of being busy, Kong Zhixi found a break to go fishing. She found a very tricky position, squatted behind the bushes, rolled up a paper towel into a cylinder, covered one eye, and began to observe.
This daughter seemed to be very adept at business socializing. She was always smiling when talking to people, and could even easily resolve the difficulties raised by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and she would turn the topic to the big stars in entertainment news while chatting.
Li Li also squatted beside her and asked her quietly: "What did you see?" Kong Zhixi was really mad at him, and her feet were a little numb from squatting.
