Yang Qiaoqiao then pushed a photo of Qin Haiyang toward Qingqing, "When you saw him, what did you hear and see?"

Qingqing's expression changed visibly, and she subconsciously denied it, "I don't know him, I've never seen him before."

Yang Qiaoqiao gestured with her eyes to the stack of money on the coffee table and said slowly, "Just like you said yourself, your relationship with these men is all about money."

Now I'm giving you more money, and you can earn it more easily. Are you sure you don't want to earn this money?

Qingqing had calmed down by now. She smiled charmingly and said, "Wouldn't it be foolish not to make money when you can?"

But I don't even know this person. How am I supposed to make money off them? If I make up something that's not what you want to hear, you won't give me the money anyway!

Judging from her expression just now, Yang Qiaoqiao knew that she must know something about Qin Haiyang.

Eager to know the information and not wanting to waste time, she simply took another thousand yuan and placed it on top of the stack of money.

"If I say so, it's all yours."

"I really..." Qingqing stared at the stack of money, her eyes filled with greed, but she spoke with a troubled expression.

Yang Qiaoqiao immediately added another thousand yuan, her eyes fixed on her, "And now?"

"Don't ask me anymore, I really don't know him," Qingqing said, sounding more relaxed.

Yang Qiaoqiao curled her lips into a smile, said nothing more, and simply put the stack of money away. "She doesn't know, let's go find the next one!"

Lin Xiaohui, Yang Jianguo, and Zhou Yang were all somewhat confused when they heard Yang Qiaoqiao's words.

Huang Banxian only gave this address and this one person, right?

Where will the next one come from?

But they knew that Yang Qiaoqiao must have her reasons for saying that, so none of them dared to show it.

She stood up and left, only following Yang Qiaoqiao.

Seeing that Yang Qiaoqiao and the other three were about to leave, Qingqing panicked and quickly stood up, "Aren't you going to add more money?"

“Since you’re unwilling to talk about it, I won’t force you,” Yang Qiaoqiao said. “The money I’ve offered is already two years’ salary for an average person. If you don’t like it, I believe someone else will.”

Qingqing gritted her teeth, suspecting that Yang Qiaoqiao was bluffing her.

As far as she knew, the only man surnamed Qin in this area had ever contacted her.

But she wasn't sure, because it's unlikely that a womanizer like that would only date one woman.

She had just been thinking of having Yang Qiaoqiao add a little more, and that's what she said.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qiaoqiao not only stopped adding more money, but also took the money and left.

Seeing that Yang Qiaoqiao and the other three had already left the private room, she quickly chased after them, saying, "Give me the money, and I'll tell you."

Yang Qiaoqiao curled her lips into a smile and sat back down.

Qingqing hurriedly put the money away before saying, "Brother Qin came to our area a month ago. At that time, Sister Hong called all the women in our KTV together for him to choose from, and he picked me."

I lived with him for about half a month after that.

The house he rented was quite upscale, and it even had a telephone installed. He would often make phone calls, and when he was on the phone, he wouldn't let me stay in the room; he would make me wander around outside.

A few times, after I finished shopping and came back a little early, I could vaguely hear him talking about something about a shopping mall or a cement factory...

Yang Qiaoqiao felt a little slump as she listened to what Qingqing said.

The criminal investigation experts who came from Shanghai had already investigated the house Qin Haiyang rented before the accident and retrieved the call records of the telephone in the house.

However, Qin Haiyang did not mention anything about the cement plant and shopping mall accidents during the phone call.

Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but frown.

Telephones weren't as advanced back then, and they still needed to be transferred by a central dispatcher, so all the content of the call would be recorded by the central dispatcher.

Logically, there shouldn't be any missed call records.

unless……

The phone that Qingqing mentioned Qin Haiyang used to make the call was not the same phone that the police had checked at the time.

"Where did Qin Haiyang take you to stay back then?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked.

Qingqing immediately gave the address.

Upon hearing the address, Yang Qiaoqiao felt a sudden sense of relief.

Sure enough, Qin Haiyang rented both adjacent rooms.

At this point, Qingqing added, "By the way, when he rented that house, he registered it using my identity!"

Yang Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly. No wonder the police found that the phone records in the room Qin Haiyang rented were all of him exchanging pleasantries with people from Beicheng.

It turns out that when it came to actually making plans, the phone call wasn't actually made using that telephone.

"I read in the newspaper that Brother Qin was the mastermind behind the accident at the Yunxian Cement Plant, right? I also heard that the shopping mall in our provincial capital that had the accident and is still under construction has the same owner as the Yunxian Cement Plant."

"You're here to investigate on behalf of that boss, right?" Qingqing asked at this moment.

"Yes." Yang Qiaoqiao didn't hide anything and nodded directly, "The mall accident has now been classified as an accident. We need to find out who the mastermind is. If you have any relevant clues, you can tell me."

I will not treat you unfairly.

After a moment of contemplation, Qingqing looked at Yang Qiaoqiao and said, "Give me another two thousand yuan, and I'll tell you an important clue. I can also go to the police station with you to testify."

Without any hesitation, Yang Qiaoqiao asked Zhou Yang to give her another two thousand yuan.

Qingqing took the money and said, "The night before the incident at the mall, I was doing business and passed by the mall area when I saw Brother Qin sneakily climbing up the mall's scaffolding."

"You saw it all by yourself?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked.

"How could I? That area is still on the edge of the city. It's the middle of the night. How could I dare to walk there alone? I was in a tricycle, and the driver saw it with me."

The tricycle driver saw it first and told me that these house repairmen have it tough too, working overtime late into the night.

I only glanced over out of curiosity, and that's when I realized the person climbing the scaffolding wasn't a construction worker, but Brother Qin.

Upon hearing Qingqing's words, Yang Qiaoqiao's heart was instantly filled with hope.

The reason why the accident at the mall could not be investigated and could only be classified as an accident was because there were no witnesses or physical evidence. But now that there are witnesses, it is equivalent to finding the clue.

She looked intently at Qingqing, "Could you please go to the police station now to provide us with evidence?"

"Although I'm not very educated, I keep my word. I'll definitely do what you say once I've taken your money," Qingqing said, standing up. "Let's go."
