Next.

All three parties reached a consensus.

Guan Feng was in charge of continuing to extract clues about this phone.

After inspecting the scene, Gao Dacheng immediately contacted the telecommunications company to see if they could determine the location of the backup phone card's signal.

Zhao Dong and Liu Keming then contacted Vice President Chen.

However, after consulting with Zhao Dong, Guan Feng communicated with Gao Dacheng, asking him to make some arrangements at the scene after the evidence was collected, as he wanted to test the vice president.

Ten minutes later.

After contacting the vice president, Zhao Dong walked back to Guan Feng and asked, "Guan, have you found any clues?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Not yet! But the two are in close contact, basically three to four times a week by phone. This frequency of contact is abnormal! I have reason to suspect that the two are plotting something."

Zhao Dong said, "I have already contacted Dean Chen, he will be here soon, so please be prepared."

Guan Feng said, "Then I'll have Lily tidy up the office on the first floor."

Turning to Huang Lili, he said, "Lili, tidy up the office downstairs. We'll need it for questioning later."

Huang Lili said, "Okay."

A short while later.

Dean Chen walked over.

Zhao Dong received the call and went downstairs with Guan Feng and others to greet them.

"Hello, Dean Chen!"

Zhao Dong and Dean Chen shook hands.

Dean Chen looked at Zhao Dong, then at the people behind him, and said in a friendly tone, "Hello, Team Leader Zhao! What brings you here today?"

Zhao Dong said, "The main issue is the consecutive deaths of two foreign nationals. Dean Chen is the vice dean in charge of liaising with these foreign teachers, and we would like to ask you some questions about the situation."

Upon hearing this, Dean Chen corrected him, saying, "Team Leader Zhao, I must correct you on this! Although I am the vice dean in charge of liaising with these foreign teachers, I am not actually involved in the daily management. As you know, I am a college leader and am responsible for more liaison work. It is mainly Director Li and the logistics department who are in charge."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Understood! Let's go into the office first. Lily, get two glasses of water!"

"OK!"

Huang Lili nodded.

Zhao Dong then gave Guan Feng a wink.

Seeing this, Guan Feng immediately stopped being polite and played the bad cop, saying, "Dean Chen, since you are the vice dean in charge of liaison and don't usually keep in touch, could you explain why you have so many phone calls with Victor?"

"What's the meaning?"

Dean Chen had just sat down when he heard this, and he frowned as he looked at Guan Feng, asking coldly, "What do you mean? You doubt me? How dare you, a mere junior, speak like that? Do you have the right to doubt me?"

Guan Feng, however, remained composed and said, "Dean Chen, you've misunderstood. I'm not doubting you, but rather I believe you are a prime suspect! You even spoke with Victor three times on the phone last night! How do you explain that? Besides, I'm a police officer; I have the right to suspect anyone!"

Dean Chen stood up abruptly, his anger blazing, and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?"

Guan Feng met his gaze directly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Seeing this, Zhao Dong stood up, pulled the two aside, and said, "Dean Chen, please calm down. This is a young colleague from our Municipal Bureau. He's just being stubborn, like a mule. Xiao Guan, watch your questioning style! Dean Chen isn't a suspect; he's the dean of the Foreign Languages ​​Institute! How can you compare him to an ordinary person?"

Guan Feng snorted, but his expression didn't improve at all. His tone remained cold as he said, "Fine! Dean Chen, please explain why you've had so many conversations with Victor!"

Zhao Dong and Liu Keming also looked at Dean Chen and reminded him, "Dean Chen, please don't mind, it's just a routine questioning to clear you of suspicion. Speaking of which, you've been talking to Victor so many times, is it for work-related matters?"

Dean Chen nodded and said, "If you put it that way, I can accept it. But what was that like just now? Did they treat me like a suspect? Really!"

Zhao Dong said, "I'll give him a good talking-to when I get back!"

Dean Chen waved his hand and said, "Let me answer this question first. I contact Victor more often because I also want to learn foreign languages! Although I am the vice dean of the School of Foreign Languages, I was actually transferred from the School of Civil Engineering. I have neglected foreign languages ​​for many years, and I am finding it difficult to handle my work. Especially in the last two years, I have felt the importance of learning foreign languages ​​more and more, so I have been in contact with Victor more often, hoping that he can mentor me. That's all."

Guan Feng said, "Normally, learning a foreign language and studying with college teachers would be enough, right? You can still communicate in your native language."

Dean Chen frowned and couldn't help but criticize, "What do you know, young comrade? The most important thing in learning a foreign language is to speak it! When you talk to the college teachers, do you have that kind of oral environment?"

Guan Feng said, "So, if that's the case, then Dean Chen's spoken English is very good?"

Dean Chen rebuked him, saying, "Whether it's good or bad, I don't need to report to you!"

Guan Feng then blurted out a few simple phrases in American English.

Dean Chen's first reaction was bewilderment, his second was anger and embarrassment, and he questioned, "What do you mean? Are you testing me? You young comrade, you have a serious problem with your thinking!"

Guan Feng said casually, "I don't deserve such praise! But since Dean Chen mentioned it as colloquial, I'd like to ask for your guidance."

Zhao Dong, acting as peacemaker, said, "Alright, Xiao Guan, stop being unreasonable. Dean Chen is the dean of the Foreign Languages ​​Institute. Is his English worse than yours? He just doesn't want to argue with you. You should apologize to Dean Chen right now!"

Guan Feng apologized to Dean Chen with a reluctant expression.

Dean Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, what's the use of an apology? I don't need it. You called me here just for this? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Zhao Dong said in a friendly tone, "No, it's not that! I just wanted to ask Dean Chen why you contacted Victor so many times. Since Dean Chen explained that it was to learn a foreign language, then we understand."

Upon hearing this, Dean Chen's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Team Leader Zhao, I do indeed study foreign languages! There are students who can vouch for that!"

"oh?"

Zhao Dong asked in surprise, "Are there still students present?"

Dean Chen then named two girls, saying, "This is an English salon organized by Victor. I saw it once and thought it was good, so I joined in. Some students also participate from time to time."

Zhao Dong asked, "Was it about this last night too?"

Dean Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's been a while since I've studied, so I contacted Victor, but they were having dinner last night and he was busy. So I told him I'd find another time, but then..."

Zhao Dong asked, "I was just about to ask Dean Chen, does Victor have any enemies at school?"

Dean Chen shook his head: "Well, there are definitely conflicts with Victor. People from the US tend to be flamboyant and outspoken, which offends quite a few people, but it's not like he's really going to kill anyone! So, could there be other reasons?"

"Other reasons?"

Zhao Dong asked, "What does Dean Chen mean?"

Dean Chen then spoke slowly.
