Be in low spirits

Li Li spent several days in his room looking through the documents, not eating or drinking, just to find some clues. He remembered that he went to ask Director Guo about this, and then Kong Zhixi was taken to the chemical plant. Yes! He should go find Director Guo!

He quickly changed his clothes, ate something downstairs, sent a message to Xiao Zhao, asking her to check Director Guo's interpersonal relationships, and then drove to the paper mill in the suburbs.

Because it was still dark, the factory was operating with lights on. The factory director was in the administration class and was not seen now. Li Li talked to the security guard at the door about the villagers causing trouble and injuring people. The security guard also knew Jia Futian and said, "He actually had a good relationship with Section Chief Pan before, but later his child was diagnosed with a disease, so he wanted to earn more money for his child's medical treatment. However, the factory couldn't schedule him to work overtime all the time, so he went to discuss this with Section Chief Pan. Not long after that, he resigned from here for unknown reasons. By the way, I saw them meeting at the back of the factory two days before the incident."

"What did they talk about when they met?"

"I don't know. It seems like they are discussing something."

"Then do you know what the temple on the mountain is for?"

"Oh, that one. It's called a temple, but it's actually a club for rich people. People often drink tea and chat there."

Li Li was a little sensitive when he heard this: "Club? What kind of club?"

"Who knows? I just heard it. Aren't you police officers the ones who know the truth best?" The old man shook the newspaper.

Li Li called the old man and said, "When Director Guo comes back, please let me know. I have something to talk to him about."

The old man nodded, and Li Li drove to the temple on the mountain. Because it was dark, there were not many people in the temple, and there were no lights, only some candles. The Buddha statues looked a little strange. Li Li called out a few times, and the monk hurried over, clasped his hands together, and asked, "Donor, the temple is a quiet place, you can't make loud noises."

Li Li grabbed the monk by the collar and asked him, "Who has been here before?"

A trace of panic flashed across the monk's eyes, and he staggered back a step, but soon calmed down, bowed his head and said, "Amitabha, donor, please respect yourself."

Li Li was a little irritable, always feeling that he was just a step away from finding out. "I'm asking you a question! Answer me!"

An abbot came up behind the little monk and asked, "Donor, who are you looking for?"

"Who is here? Let them come to see me!" He knew the murderer must be here, and as long as he found him, he would be able to see Zhixi.

Director Guo was twirling his Buddhist beads in his hand, and he was very casual: "Captain Li, what are you doing?"

He didn't expect it to be him, "Director Guo!"

Director Guo's mouth gradually rose, "Captain Li lost his beloved wife, but he wouldn't go crazy here, right?"

This sentence immediately ignited the anger in Li Li's heart. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed his clothes, punched him in the face, and roared: "Tell me, where is that bastard?"

Two monks came over and pulled him away. Director Guo looked at the scattered Buddhist beads on the ground, but he was not angry. Instead, he laughed even more happily. He stood up awkwardly and wiped his nosebleed, then sneered: "She is just a woman, why are you pretending? Don't you have another one hidden in your room?"

Li Li suddenly realized something and dragged Director Guo by the collar and rushed down the mountain. Two monks blocked him at the door. Before he could say anything, he slapped the young monk and kicked the old abbot, shouting, "I'll see who dares to stop me!" Director Guo laughed out loud. Li Li thought he was addicted to drugs, so he stuffed him into the car, handcuffed him, started the car, and rushed home.

Director Guo said, "Who do you think you can save? You coward! Cheng Xi is just your vanity when you were young, Kong Zhixi is just the straw you use to save your life, you only love yourself! Why pretend to be so affectionate!"

"Shut up!" Li Li's car was driving very fast, as if it wanted to break through the darkness.

"I was right. Are you angry and embarrassed? It was you who insisted on involving her. Now that she's out, do you think she can save you? Hahahaha... If you get out, wouldn't Xiao Zhao have died in vain? Hahaha..." He laughed strangely. Li Li looked at him and remembered the action in the apartment building that day. Xiao Zhao died there. Then he saw Kong Zhixi. And that day in the barbecue restaurant, it was the informant who drugged her!

When he got home, Cheng Xi was not there. Her phone was turned off. Li Li grabbed Director Guo by the collar and asked, "Where is she? What do you want?"

Director Guo felt a pleasure he had never experienced before. He was jealous to the point of madness. Why did he have such a family background and could easily get a respectable job and everything he wanted? He just wanted to watch him collapse bit by bit until he had nothing.

"We just want you to be ruined! Your marriage is fake, your deep love is fake, and this captain is also fake! You are just a villain! A cowardly and timid villain! Hahaha..."

Li Li pushed him to the corner, punched him in the face again and again, and yelled: "Where are the people? I have a question for you!" Director Guo's mouth was bleeding, his teeth were red, and his eyes were swollen. He just smiled, a silent smile. His phone rang, Li Li grabbed it and answered the phone. The voice of the abandoned chemical factory came from the other end of the phone: "Captain Li, do you want to save people? Then one life for another."

Li Li led his men to the chemical plant again. The man was there. He pushed Director Guo forward and said, "One life for another!" The man in black smiled contemptuously and said, "Captain Li, when I say one life for another, I mean your life!" Li Li threw his gun on the ground indifferently and raised his hands: "Okay, let her go and I'll take her place!"

The man in black put his feet on the railing, hooked his fingers, and said, "Old Guo is right, you are so hypocritical!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Kill me if you have the guts!" He felt that if he died in this world, he would go back.

"Seeking death? I just want you to be neither able to live nor to die. Just like now, your lover, family, and teammates are separated forever!"

"Didn't you say one life for another? Let her go, and I'll let you do whatever you want with her."

"I'm talking about exchanging your life for Lao Guo's. Kill him and I'll let this woman go."

Director Guo was panicked now, "Mr. Shu, are you crazy? I didn't tell anyone! You can't kill me! You can't..." Li Li squatted on the ground, picked up a stone and drew on the ground casually, watching the two men act.

"Jia Futian hasn't received the money yet, and you say you haven't betrayed me?"

Director Guo knelt on the ground, shaking his head desperately to explain: "I didn't do it, it was President Shu who refused to approve it. You can't kill me! You can't kill me!" Li Li sneered, picked up the gun on the ground, pointed it at his head and asked: "Did you plan this?"

"No, it's not me! It was him! He was the one who instigated Jia Futian to cause trouble in order to ask for money from his family. Kill him, you kill him! He was the one who pushed your wife down, you kill him." Director Guo's legs were shaking as he knelt on the ground. He raised his hands above his head, his eyes darting around, not daring to move.

"Where is Pan Xiangjin?"

"It was Old Pan who was looking for Jia Futian. He was the one who found him. I was just a messenger. I didn't do anything! You kill him!" He quietly moved Li Li's gun towards Shu Bole.

I couldn't tell Shu Botian's emotions, his voice was casual and indifferent: "Old Guo, you still say you never betrayed me? Humph, if I don't kill you, who should I kill? You pervert."

"I'm a pervert? You're the pervert. You're promiscuous and you take drugs. I've done enough. I've raised you for so long, but your sister hasn't given you a penny. You're a waste!" The two gradually started to curse at each other.

Li Li didn't have the patience to listen to them continue to nag like this, so he interrupted: "You just want money, I'll take you to call your sister, and let Cheng Xi go."

Shu Botian suddenly became ferocious: "You're talking nonsense! I don't just want money, I also want to take back everything that belongs to me from her! It originally belonged to me!"

Li Li fired a shot into the air and Cheng Xi woke up. Her mouth was sealed with tape and she could only make a humming sound. Director Guo urinated directly on the ground.

"I don't care what you want, let her go, I'll be your hostage." He just wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

"Do you think I'm stupid? As soon as I showed up, I was caught by you. Kill him first, then bring my sister here, and I'll let her go."
