No such person [criminal investigation]

After leaving the tea restaurant, the first thing Xu Ci did when he got home was to catch up on sleep.

His sleep was restless and light, and it was two o'clock in the afternoon when he received a call from his assistant Meng Yu.

This call was probably related to Zhu Xiu, Xu Ci quickly sat up from the bed and pressed the answer button.

"It's me, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Xie... Zhu Xiu's matter is quite strange."

Xu Ci's brows and eyes did not change, but his lips were pursed. "How to say?"

"I brought her to the company with people from the Supervision Department in the morning, and she was very cooperative. She quickly admitted her mistake and expressed her willingness to bear all punishments. Later, I went back to our internal control center to handle other tasks. But I just heard that ...I heard that the Ministry of Supervision did not call the police, but let her go home.

"I immediately asked the Supervision Department about the situation, but they didn't tell me anything. Fortunately, I was familiar with Xiao Wang from Mr. Guan's secretarial department. After asking around, he told me that this seemed to be Mr. Guan's intention. Mr. Guan It’s impossible to be with Zhu Xiu—"

"Guan Zong", of course, refers to Guan Hongwen of the group's operation headquarters, the unknown eldest son of the chairman.

What Meng Yu wanted to say was that Boss Guan would never have a relationship with Zhu Xiu.Otherwise, as the president, why would he cover up the finances of a small store?

Meng Yu couldn't figure out the doorway behind this.

Xu Ci's heart sank.

Guan Hongwen's action indicated that his previous speculation in his heart had come true. Xu Ci didn't say anything to Meng Yu, hung up the phone, washed up quickly, put on makeup, and then drove to Zhu Xiu's house immediately.

After reinstalling the surveillance camera in the building opposite Zhu Xiu's house, and calling Ping An to ask him to help watch the surveillance video, Xu Ci went straight forward and knocked on Zhu Xiu's door.

The moment he opened the door and saw Xu Ci, Zhu Xiu's expression looked surprised, followed by confusion, and a hint of resentment and hatred.

Xu Ci walked in without hesitation.

Barely maintaining calmness and calmness, Zhu Xiu closed the door, poured him a glass of water, and asked him to sit on the sofa.

Seeing that Xu Ci didn't take the initiative to speak, she scratched her trouser legs for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Mr. Xie, what do you mean by this?

"You are the director of the internal control center. You found out that I had a problem, reported my problem to the Supervision Department, and called the police... I can understand it. But why do you insist on kidnapping me? I always feel that you are targeting me. How can I offend you? Yet?"

Facing Zhu Xiu's accusation, Xu Ci's expression was cold, but he admitted it very generously. "Yes, I have led the police to suspect you from beginning to end. I wish you the best temporary detention."

Zhu Xiu really couldn't understand.

She suddenly stood up and stared at Xu Ci. "This, why is this?"

She was probably used to being bullied, but now her angry voice sounded like a mosquito. She felt that she lacked momentum, angry and regretful, and blushed.

Xu Ci looked at her quietly for a while, and said, "Two months ago, Mr. Li from the Group's Purchasing and Marketing Department, you should know?"

The person Xu Ci mentioned was Li Shuang.He has made a lot of contributions to the group, and has been awarded outstanding employees every year. He just won a bonus of 100 million last year.

But it was him who appeared in the notice of the Group Supervision Department two months ago. He colluded with the supplier to defraud the company of 60 yuan. Not only was he fired, he was also imprisoned.

Zhu Xiu understood Xu Ci's subtext——

Such a director who has made great contributions to the group, but has taken 60 yuan, is still not alone. How can Zhu Xiu, a mere store financial officer, be let go so easily?

Looking at Zhu Xiu, Xu Ci said again: "I really hope that you will be detained temporarily. The person in charge of this case is Qi Zang, the captain of the third team of criminal investigation of the Municipal Bureau. He is a good policeman. If you are indeed innocent, he will investigate clearly. , will let you go. He won't wrong any good man.

"Believe me, whether it's in the detention center or in the interrogation room, your situation will be much safer than it is now."

"Did you mean..." Zhu Xiu's face turned pale all of a sudden.

In her unbelievable eyes, Xu Ci nodded affirmatively, but his tone was still plain and straightforward, without any emotional color, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

"I have enough reasons to suspect that someone wants to kill you. Whether you are being followed by the police for investigation or even jailed for murder or embezzlement of public funds, it will not be so easy for them to kill you. This is what Mr. Guan gave up. File a case and don't hold you accountable for the real reason. He's helping the gang."

Zhu Xiu was puzzled: "Who is that group of people? It's too inexplicable. I had the crooked idea of ​​kidnapping and asking for money, but I didn't do anything else!"

Xu Ci asked her: "Have you heard of Old K?"

Old K, whose real name is Gui Dajun, has been on the wanted list so far, and he is the murderer that the police have been chasing.

Not to mention the lives of many people in this person's hands. When he was doing business in Jinning City more than [-] years ago, he was involved in pornography, gambling and drugs.

Later, the spring breeze that wiped out the evil forces came to Jinning City, and the little braids of the old brother K were the first to be caught by the task force.

Anyway, the younger brother has already taken a lot of lives, and it is the death penalty anyway, and it doesn't make any difference to bear a little more crime, so he helped his elder brother to take the blame, and played tricks to cover his smuggling abroad.

It is said that the capital of the old K's fortune when he developed the illegal industry was obtained by accidentally digging an ancient tomb in exchange for a treasure.

The treasure was a flower with four petals. He was superstitious and regarded it as a mascot that would bring him good luck, so after he got rich, he bought it back at twenty times the price of the original sale and offered it to him. home.

After fleeing to Burma with a few brothers, he slowly made a fortune there again, and even imitated many similar four-color flower rings with special craftsmanship, which were used as tokens of their organization, so that the two members of the organization could People who don't know each other confirm their identities, etc., and people on the Tao call them "four-color flower" organizations.

There were rumors back then that Lin Huaiyu, the chairman of Qingfeng Group, and old K were sworn brothers. One was doing serious business in the open, and the other was doing unscrupulous business in the dark.

At that time, the special case team did conduct an in-depth investigation on Lin Huaiyu, but they didn't catch him.The procuratorate charged him with several minor crimes, and he hired a powerful lawyer to deal with it, and in the end he was fined some money.

With the help of that investigation, Lin Huaiyu went ashore in vain instead.He contributes a lot of tax to the local government every year and does a lot of charity. Many people regard him as a great entrepreneur who gives back to the society.Gradually, those rumors in the early years became completely unfounded rumors.

Of course Zhu Xiu didn't know about four-color flowers, nor what old K was doing in Myanmar.But she has an impression of Old K.She was still very young back then, but she could remember seeing his wanted photos everywhere, and she also heard from her mother that the horrible murderer had blood on his hands and killed countless people. In fact, one of them was their neighbor. Because of old K's usury, one hand was chopped off.

Zhu Xiu had also heard rumors that Lin Huaiyu and Old K were brothers, but he never took it seriously or took it to heart.

She was doing a tedious but simple job, how could she have thought that she would provoke these people one day?

After trying to figure it out, Zhu Xiu's fingers trembled uncontrollably. "Don't you want to tell me that those rumors about Director Lin... are true? Well, that little soldier..."

Yuan Xiaobing asked for money from her for gambling.

Who did he go to the casino with?

Could it be that old K's criminal forces have returned to Jinning City?

Xu Ci observed her expression for a while, and then spoke slowly. "I guess Yuan Xiaobing provoked one of them, or got evidence of their crime. Maybe Yuan Xiaobing didn't tell you anything, but they couldn't help suspecting that, as his girlfriend, you knew some of their secrets. They I want to kill you.

"If you entered the detention center, how would they kill you? So Guan Hongwen did not hold you accountable, but let you go home."

Zhu Xiu couldn't say a word.

She sat back on the sofa with a bloodless face, her back was drenched in cold sweat.

Xu Ci's eyes suddenly became more serious.

Leaning slightly, he stared oppressively at Zhu Xiu's eyes. "At present, I tend to think that you are not really involved in the murder case. But I highly suspect that Yuan Xiaobing is indeed the murderer of Liu Na. He was helping the group dispose of a corpse, accidentally bumped into Liu Na, and then Kill her. You helped Yuan Xiaobing hide something, right?

"His whereabouts are unknown now, not because he is hiding from you, but because he is hiding from the police. But I advise you to tell me everything about him, everything about him. I can help you hire the best lawyer.

"Please believe me, he will be safer if he is found by the police."

On the other side, Qi Zang quickly washed up and went out to the city bureau.Several other police officers who stayed up late last night arrived at about the same time.After getting together to eat something, everyone went to the conference room for a meeting without stopping.

01:30 p.m., meeting room.Gong Nianci, the forensic doctor, arrived late.She didn't go to bed until this morning.

Before she had time to change her clothes or comb her hair, Gong Nianci entered the conference room and sat down with a cup of instant coffee in her arms. After a few yawns, she began to let go, her thoughts drifting away.

Until Qi Zang knocked on the table in front of her three times, she stood up suddenly as if she had just woken up from a dream, and unexpectedly immediately entered a serious state of work.

"Is there any result in the comparison between diatoms and plankton?" Qi Zang asked her.

Gong Nianci nodded. "Yes. It's basically confirmed that the scene of the first crime is at Yunmeng Lake. Team Qi, you guessed right, this Yunmeng Lake is indeed on the way from the Phoenix Villa where they live to the Yunshuijian B&B."

In this way, the movement of the deceased Liu Na that night was indeed as analyzed before.She also probably died of passion murder.

The key point now is to figure out how she got back to the villa.

Qi Zang turned to look at Li Zhengzheng and Bai Shuwei. "Aren't you two studying the Chamber of Secrets? Do you have any ideas?"

This secret room first involves the issue of footprints.

The bathroom was full of water, but there were no footprints of the murderer at all. How did he manage to leave the bathroom without leaving any footprints?

Qi Zang thought it was simple. The murderer left wearing shoe covers and stepping on the water. He splashed water on the floor in the bathroom with a water gun outside the door, or just took a large jug, and the water would flow again and cover the footprints.

The real question was how the door was taped securely from the inside.

Li Zhengzheng and Bai Shuwei looked at each other, looked at Qi Zang, and said, "We both think Zhu Xiu's problem is very serious now."
