The video in the interrogation room is frozen here.

The expressions of those present varied.

Bai Qianmo and Gu Jueye appeared relatively calm.

Su Peishan was completely bewildered: "Pass through the wall? Lan Xiaoxiao lives on the 19th floor. If she went through the wall from the 19th floor, she'd either fall to her death or be scared to death, right?"

Du Muchen, on the other hand, was deep in thought, his eyelids lowered, making it impossible to discern his expression.

Jiang Nanyan gave a somewhat noncommittal chuckle: "This excuse is too absurd. I think Chen Jianyu is obviously trying to exonerate himself by making up a person to try to lessen his crime."

“At first, we had the same idea as Jiang Shao, but according to our investigation of Chen Jianyu’s past, he had never been involved in any medical-related industry, and he was just a junior high school graduate who had been supported by his mother since graduation. He was a typical lazy adult who sponged off his parents.”

“We arranged for Chen Jianyu to take a lie detector test, and the results showed that he was not lying.”

Su Peishan exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it really be a ghost?"

Team Leader Qi looked at Bai Qianmo: "Miss Bai, I have some questions for you to ask you privately."

Gu Jueye glanced at Bai Qianmo: "I'll wait for you outside the door."

Gu Jueye got up and left, and Su Peishan, Jiang Nanyan and Du Muchen naturally followed him.

Bai Qianmo looked at Captain Qi, who took out an investigation report from his drawer.

"We've located the phone that sent you the text message last night; it was a call from overseas."

Bai Qianmo's expression changed slightly as she reached out and took the documents.

It's a record from the telecommunications company; the phone number was registered domestically, but the current location is overseas.

“Miss Bai, if the ‘ghost’ that Chen Jianyu mentioned is real, he and the person who sent the text message may be in cahoots. Chen Jianyu accidentally killed Lan Xiaoxiao, and the mysterious person who appeared in the room helped him destroy the evidence and create the illusion that Lan Xiaoxiao committed suicide to mislead the police. Then, an unknown number sent you a strange message in advance that ‘Lan Xiaoxiao is dead.’ Connecting all of this, it seems that there is a mysterious force behind this matter, and the target of these people is… you.”

"However, in Lan Xiaoxiao's case, the murderer is undoubtedly Chen Jianyu. As for the 'ghost' that Chen Jianyu mentioned, there is currently no evidence to prove that it actually exists. It may be a lie that Chen Jianyu told to exonerate himself. That's why I kept you behind to talk about these things, just to remind you to be more careful in the future."

"Thank you, Captain Qi. I will be careful."

Team Leader Qi's shrewd and insightful gaze lingered on Bai Qianmo's face for a few seconds: "Judging from your facial expression, you don't seem surprised."

"I'm just not good at showing my emotions."

She believed Chen Jianyu's description of "ghosts," and Qi's analysis was correct; the other party was after her.

But what is their purpose?

She may only realize the truth when the mystery is finally revealed.

It was nearly noon when I left the police station.

Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan went directly to the company.

Gu Jueye, Du Muchen, and Jiang Nanyan took Lan Xiaoxiao's body back to the Du family.

With the murderer apprehended, the Du family will now be busy with Lan Xiaoxiao's funeral arrangements.

On the way back to the company

Bai Qianmo stared blankly at the snow scene flashing past the car window.

"Qianmo, what did Captain Qi say to you privately just now?"

Bai Qianmo's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she lazily looked at Su Peishan beside her.

"He didn't say anything."

Bai Qianmo tugged at the collar of her down jacket. The car's heater was on, and the down jacket made her feel a bit hot. She only felt a little cooler after zipping it up to her lower abdomen.

“Just now in Captain Qi’s office, he was so serious when he talked about that ‘ghost,’ as if it were the truth. It’s obviously just an excuse made up by the murderer to get away with it.” Su Peishan took out a powder compact from her purse and carefully examined herself in the small mirror for a while.

"I was planning to go to a hot spring and get a good night's sleep, but this happened, and I didn't dare to close my eyes all night. Now my eyes are swollen, and the pores on my cheeks are bigger. Sigh, tomorrow seems to be Saturday, I need to rest for two days."

"You're probably not going to get any rest." Bai Qianmo scrolled through her phone; the entertainment headline read: #Prosperous Acquisition of Tengyue Imminent, Tengyue Forced into a Dire Situation#

Su Peishan leaned over to take a look at the news, and curled her lips in disdain.

"Prosperity is really impatient. Every day it releases different kinds of false information to cut off all external resources for Tengyue and try to wear us down."

"In acquisition cases, for small companies like ours, cutting off the source of cooperation is the most direct and effective way. As long as no external resources dare to cooperate with Tengyue alone, and there is no profit, small companies like Tengyue will have to declare bankruptcy in a few days. At that time, as long as Fansheng extends an olive branch, Tengyue will be ruthless to cut off one of its arms to save itself."

At this time, it was prosperous.

Meeting room

A shareholders' meeting is currently being held to discuss the acquisition of Tengyue.

“For small companies like Tengyue, acquisition is a way to give them a way out. Without the protection of large companies like Fansheng, given the current state of the entertainment industry, bankruptcy is a reality they will have to face sooner or later,” one shareholder said with some contempt.
