It was midnight.
At a night market stall.
Li Ze and Wu Kang were on the phone.
……
"Captain, we're still investigating, but we haven't found anything yet."”
……
Li Ze: " Continue to investigate. Order nine single meals. Don't let them starve."”
"Remember to give me the receipt."
"Also, don't let An Tong meet Shen Wendong. We'll talk about it when I get back.”
……
"Alright."
"Captain, how's it going on your side? Did you find anything?”
……
Li Ze: " There's progress. Don't ask anymore. Let's talk when we meet."”
……
"Alright, I got it."
……
After hanging up, Li Ze picked up the skewer in front of him and continued eating.
Waiting and filling their stomachs didn't delay anything.
Before Tong Xuan's results came out, there would be no further progress in the case, so there was no need to waste any effort.
Fu Xiaojun rarely ate at an open-air barbecue stall. She was a little reserved and ate very slowly.
As a young woman who had just met Li Ze, she really couldn't eat meat and drink tea in front of him.
He was accompanying her.
Li Ze didn't have much scruples as he ate skewers after skewers.
Unfortunately, he couldn't drink.
Barbecue without alcohol was not fun.
It was an iron order to ban alcohol during the investigation.
Besides, alcohol would affect his thinking.
Fu Xiaojun's lips curled up when she saw Li Ze enjoying his meal. Even her appetite was whetted.
"You're really hungry."
Fu Xiaojun said.
Li Ze looked up and said as he ate," High-intensity mental work requires a large supply of glucose. Once the blood sugar drops to a certain level, hunger will occur.”
Hearing this, Fu Xiaojun was stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing.
He had only said it casually. He did not expect Li Ze to explain it seriously.
"It seems that my brain is not enough.”
Fu Xiaojun teased.
Li Ze smiled." I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. Men eat more than women."”
"By the way, you graduated from Jingzhou Public Security University with excellent results. Why didn't you stay in Jingzhou?”
"Jingzhou's development is still much better than Dongcheng's.”
After all, it was the capital city, and there were countless high-ranking officials and nobles, so there were many corresponding opportunities.
At the mention of this question, Fu Xiaojun put down her chopsticks and held her chin.""If I say I want to know you, would you believe me?"
"Ah?" Li Ze was stunned. He stopped chewing and asked in surprise,""You know me? Why?"
"I've heard of your name since the first day I entered university," Fu Xiaojun said to Li Ze.”
"There are also classic cases that you solved in the teaching materials.”
"Of course I'm curious about someone in his twenties who has such achievements.”
"Maybe I can learn a lot of new things and improve faster if I follow you.”
"How about this reason?"
"That's a little far-fetched," Li Ze smiled.”
"As far as I know, there are quite a number of case-solving experts in Jingzhou. Why would you come to Dongcheng?”
"Then tell me why." Fu Xiaojun blinked.”
Li Ze put down the skewer and wiped his mouth with a tissue. He coughed lightly and said,""Maybe it's because I'm more handsome.”
Fu Xiaojun was speechless.
She was stunned.
"Inspector Lee, you still have narcissism? It has to be treated."
"Do you know any good doctors?"”
Fu Xiaojun was speechless.
The two of them joked, and the dark clouds of murder faded a lot.
Most importantly, they had become more familiar with each other through their jokes.
Fu Xiaojun felt that she and Li Ze could be considered friends.
Unknowingly, time passed.
Tong Xuan called.
Li Ze, who was chatting happily with Fu Xiaojun, immediately picked up the phone.
"Hello? Speak."
……
"Captain, we've found everything we can find in a short time.”
"Shen Wendong and Xu Hongwen definitely have a close relationship.”
……
"No hurry," Li Ze said calmly.”
……
"Then I'll talk about the Shen and Xu families 'companies first."”
"The Xu family's company is doing very well. Among the ten people at the villa party, other than Chen Hua, they have the most financial resources.”
"The Shen family is much worse in comparison.”
"There's an important point here. The Shen family's company should rely on the Xu family's existence to provide some raw materials for the Xu family.”
"It means that the Xu family eats meat and the Shen family drinks soup.”
……
"Continue."
……
"The surveillance footage shows that Shen Wendong and Xu Hongwen met many times and entered the company.”
"I'm afraid we'll have to ask him personally about the details.”
"And…"
Li Ze listened attentively to Tong Xuan's investigation results.
As he learned more and more, Li Ze's suspicion of Shen Wendong grew deeper and deeper.
The entire case gradually became clearer in his eyes.
"Go to Xu Hongwen's private office and bring back all the documents related to Shen Wendong."”
"Yes."
Li Ze hung up the phone and got up.”
……
It was one o'clock in the morning.
"Captain, we didn't find anything suspicious," Wu Kang said at the entrance of the villa.”
He had already searched the entire villa thoroughly.
Unfortunately, there was no gain.
He didn't know how the murderer managed to poison him so accurately without leaving any traces.
Hearing this, Li Ze nodded and said,""Let's postpone it. Come in with me and call An Tong.”
Everyone arrived at the living room.
It was very late. Chen Hua and the others were sleepy, but no one could fall asleep.
The people around them had just been killed, and such a major event had been stimulating their nerves.
Seeing Li Ze return with An Tong, the eight of them quivered and adjusted their sitting positions.
Their patience was almost worn out.
He was being watched by the police, he didn't have a cell phone, and he was even being monitored when he went to the toilet.
This was too torturous for them.
However, he could not resist and could only endure it.
At the same time, he also hoped that the case would end as soon as possible.
"Captain Li, how's the investigation going?”
"When can we leave?”
someone said.
Li Ze glanced at them and said," Other than Shen Wendong and An Tong, the rest of you can go out first. You can move around and chat, but you can't leave for the time being."”
He was more humane.
Twelve hours of waiting in a sealed room must have suffocated them.
Everyone was puzzled.
Then, seven pairs of eyes shot toward Shen Wendong.
What was going on?
Was Shen Wendong the murderer?
No one dared to ask.
Seeing this, Shen Wendong frowned but did not say anything.
"Hurry up."
Li Ze added.
They quickly got up and left the villa.
A police officer had them temporarily taken care of not far away.
The night was shrouded, and the seven people looked at each other. After a short silence, Liu Jun was the first to speak,"Could Shen Wendong have killed him?”
Someone broke the silence and caused a chain reaction.
They, who had been holding it in for a long time, began to talk at once.
"I was wondering why Shen Wendong would come to the party. It was premeditated!”
……
"That's right. His love rival invited his girlfriend, but not only did he not get angry, he even brought his girlfriend along. Isn't this nonsense?”
……
"That's not right. Is there a grudge between Shen Wendong and Xu Hongwen? Wasn't it just An Tong's matter? He wouldn't have to kill her, right?”
……
"I didn't hear of any enmity."
……
"I don't know. I haven't heard of it."
The few of them spoke one after another, expressing their doubts and opinions.
At this moment, the quarrel between them seemed to have been thrown to the back of their minds.
Since the suspect had been locked in, there was no need to be suspicious anymore.
Xu Zijing and Chen Hua did not participate.
"Don't make wild guesses. Captain Li didn't say that the murderer was Shen Wendong.”
"Maybe, it's because he's the most suspicious. Let's interrogate him alone."
Someone retorted,"If it was a private interrogation, you could have just called Shen Wendong away. Why did you send us away?"”
"The police must have found something.”
Hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense and nodded.
"Let's wait and see…"
"Perhaps we will know in a while."
……
While they were chatting, Li Ze sat down in the living room of the villa.
"Have a seat, An Tong."
Li Ze said.
An Tong seemed a little nervous as she went to the corner of the sofa silently.
Shen Wendong kept looking at Li Ze.
There was no doubt about his expression, but he was already showing his dissatisfaction.
"Captain Li, you…"
Shen Wendong couldn't help but say something.
Li Ze waved his hand and said coldly,""Cuff him!"
Upon hearing the order, Wu Kang stepped forward and took out handcuffs. With two crisp cracks, he cuffed Shen Wendong's wrist.
An Tong raised her head abruptly and looked at Shen Wendong in a daze.
As for Shen Wendong, his expression was extremely ugly.
"Captain Li, what do you mean?!”
