Chapter 36 New clues surfaced.
Twenty minutes later, Charlie Feng parked his car downstairs of the TV station.
He took Lin Meiqi upstairs and handed her over to the news anchor.
"This is Lin Meiqi, a forensic doctor from our serious crime unit. She will definitely be able to complete the task you assign to her."
Lin Meiqi forced a smile.
The host on the other side excitedly said, "Is it Forensic Doctor Lin? Wow, that's great! It's going to start in ten minutes, let's check the script in advance. But don't worry, Forensic Doctor Lin, this is a recorded broadcast. If the performance is not good, we can adjust it at any time, so don't feel psychologically stressed."
Lin Meiqi nodded.
A staff member of the TV station passed by and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Lin Meiqi: "Wow, today's interviewee is so young and beautiful! What does she do?"
"A new actor? How come I haven't seen him before?"
"Is it the forensic doctor Lin?"
"Oh my god, it's her! She's really different from what I imagined. I thought she was at least an older, serious, and experienced practitioner! I didn't expect... If you hadn't told me, I really couldn't connect the two people."
Lin Meiqi just lowered her head and immersed herself in the script, trying to answer these questions well.
Charlie Feng said goodbye to Lin Meiqi: "I'm leaving first. I'll pick you up when your interview is over."
"It's okay. I'll go back by myself when the time comes."
"You're wearing high heels, so it's not convenient for you to ride a bicycle. I'll drive over to pick you up!"
Before leaving, Charlie Feng encouraged her, "Come on, Forensic Doctor Lin!"
Lin Meiqi became even more nervous after what he did.
The people who had been interviewed before were all the original owners. She had never been in a studio like this before, so it was impossible for her to not be nervous.
To be honest, even if I had discovered a vicious suspect and had to confront him face to face, I wouldn't have felt the heavy psychological burden and cold hands and feet as I do now.
"Okay, the show will start soon. Forensic Doctor Lin, please follow me!"
Backstage in the studio, a beautiful female anchor led Lin Meiqi to the studio.
An hour passed...
Only after the host said "Today's show is over" and put away the TV station card in his hand did Lin Meiqi breathe a sigh of relief.
My waist was a little stiff because I sat too straight, but now I feel a little more comfortable.
"Forensic Doctor Lin did a great job. It was beyond my expectation! The content was detailed and rich, and he spoke eloquently and his voice was very pleasant. I think the audience will like you. Maybe you will have more opportunities to appear on TV in the future."
"Hah, thank you."
Lin Meiqi didn't know how to respond, but she heard the system's voice again.
[Receive praise, IQ +1]
After wearing high heels for a long time, Lin Meiqi did feel some discomfort in her feet. She usually wears flat shoes.
When he got downstairs, Charlie Feng had been waiting there five minutes earlier.
Seeing Lin Meiqi coming out, he waved at her: "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Lin Meiqi nodded, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat: "It's fine. I was a little nervous at first, but then I forgot I was in the studio."
"Okay, I'll take you back to the serious crime unit."
"No, Sergeant, please find me something else to do. It's too easy for me to participate in a show compared to other police officers. You don't have enough manpower, don't you really need my help?"
Feng Cha thought for a moment and said, "What if you insist on helping? I'll take you to Liu Yanbing's old house. There are people monitoring it 24 hours a day, and you can stay there and buy meals for the police officers when they need them, so that they don't have to be too short-staffed when they change shifts."
"Okay, I love this job!"
Feng Charlie sent Lin Meiqi to a small alley about five or six hundred meters away from the entrance of the old house.
The area was covered with lush trees, and the shadows covered most of the island, making it impossible to be seen by anyone. At the same time, it was easy to monitor the direction of the old house's gate.
Of course, in order to prevent anyone from entering or exiting through the back door, Feng Charlie also sent someone to guard the back door.
When it was time for dinner, Lin Meiqi bought some lunch boxes nearby, distributed them to several police officers who were on duty, and then she leaned against a tree to observe.
She asked one of the police officers: "Is there any movement from Liu Yanbing?"
The police officer shook his head: "She didn't come out of the front door or the back door, and no one came in. We were just squatting there in vain."
"Maybe the suspect is also waiting, waiting for the moment when Liu Yanbing comes out. But her eldest son Gu Hongda has been busy taking over the company recently. He must have a lot of things to do. Why is he not coming back every day?"
"Yes, he has moved into the company. Now Liu Yanbing is the only one living in this old house."
"I'm alone..."
Lin Meiqi murmured softly.
That is to say, this is the easiest time to take action, if there are no police officers waiting outside.
Of course, the premise of her guess is that the man has a motive to commit a crime against the Gu family.
But then I thought, there are maids in the old house. If anything happens, the maids will react immediately, right? There is no response yet, so there should be no problem.
After the police officers finished their meal, Lin Meiqi took the lunch box and threw it into the trash can.
When I turned left into the alley, I suddenly saw a maid running out of the door of the old house in a panic.
The maid didn't know how to drive and seemed to be trying to call a taxi to leave, but her face was obviously pale and she looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.
Lin Meiqi keenly noticed something was wrong.
Running into the alley, Lin Meiqi immediately told the police officers: "Something seems to have happened in the old house."
"What?"
"I'm not sure. You just saw a maid looking flustered."
"It's more difficult to deal with now. If nothing happened and they are so close, wouldn't it be exposed that the police are monitoring their whereabouts if we rashly ask? If we alert the enemy, I'm afraid the real suspect will not show up. But if something really happened, we must enter as soon as possible."
Lin Meiqi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go ask first. Not every maid there may have seen me."
Lin Meiqi turned around, ran towards the gate of the old house and asked the maid.
"What happened? Do you need my help?"
The maid asked hurriedly, "Can you drive? Take me to the serious crime unit. Madam told us that if she can't come out if something happens, we should go find a man named Charlie Feng in the serious crime unit."
"I am Feng Charlie's subordinate."
Lin Meiqi asked directly, "What happened?"
The maid couldn't help but cover her face and cry: "Madam, Madam, she, she is in the bedroom, something happened!"
Lin Meiqi was startled and quickly waved to the police officers in the distance to go into the old house together.
Seeing the police coming so quickly, the maid was also shocked: "You, you are just outside that door?"
The police officer nodded: "I was standing guard at the door because I was afraid something might happen, but I didn't expect..."
The police officers followed Lin Meiqi and hurried into the house.
They asked in confusion: "Has anyone entered the old house in the past few days? Or someone you know? We were outside, why didn't we see anyone coming in or out? How did the murder happen?"
"I don't know about that. We didn't see any strangers."
"You didn't see it either?"
"Yes. According to the rules of our family, we have to turn off the lights and go to bed at 10 o'clock at night. We will not disturb the lady unless she calls us."
"That is to say, after ten o'clock, if you go in in the dark, it is possible to avoid the maid." Lin Meiqi said.
But, this is a special case, why do we still need to apply this rule?
After ten o'clock, the maid couldn't find her, and she always felt that there was something wrong with Liu Yanbing.
But Lin Meiqi hasn’t figured out what the problem is yet.
Several people entered Liu Yanbing's bedroom and soon saw Liu Yanbing lying on the bed. She was dead and there were obvious strangulation marks on her neck.
Lin Meiqi went forward to check and found no fingerprints, which seemed to indicate that the person was wearing gloves. But what surprised her was that there were no signs of prying on the door and the windows were locked.
She asked the maid, "Have you touched this window?"
"No."
"Where's the door?"
“It was open when we arrived.”
"Does Liu Yanbing usually lock her door when she sleeps?"
"Yes, sometimes when the Madam called us for something in the middle of the night, she would open the locked door before we could come in."
"What about the front door? Will the living room door be locked at night?"
"Yes, the doors to the lobby on the first floor are all locked."
It seems that only the key can open the lock.
"Who has the keys?"
"None of our maids have it, except for the housekeeper and the Gu family."
In other words, Liu Yanbing has the key.
But there were no signs of picking the lock on the hall door. If that person had climbed over into the yard...
The old house is so big that it is possible to climb over the high wall in the middle.
Although most people couldn't climb over it, maybe this person was like what Charlie Feng said, able to climb the mountain behind the garden villa, so he must be quite agile and these walls couldn't stop him at all.
But the key point is that after entering, the windows were locked, the doors were also locked, and he couldn't get in at all.
The living room door has a very advanced lock and a very thick door. How can one get in without breaking the door or picking the lock?
Then I can only take the key.
Once you enter the front door, go straight into the bedroom. Strangely enough, Liu Yanbing did not lock the door, so the suspect continued to use the key to open the door and enter. When he ran into Liu Yanbing in the house, Liu Yanbing did not make any sound.
Lin Meiqi observed the victim's mouth and nose and found no traces of drugs.
What is going on?
When the suspect entered the room, he did not arouse any suspicion from Liu Yanbing, so she was not frightened by the arrival of the stranger and did not call the maids over.
All of this was so logical that it made her feel a chill.
Now three members of the family have died, with the only one left being the eldest son, Gu Hongda. But it is impossible for him to go home because a police officer who was on stakeout last night discovered that he had checked into a hotel arranged by the company and had not left all night.
"It's been so long today, and you just discovered that something was wrong with Liu Yanbing?"
The maid hurriedly explained, "Madam is like this sometimes. She doesn't call us and just does her own things. She watches TV in her room and talks on the phone. Sometimes she doesn't come out for the whole day. She doesn't eat either. She says she'll call us when she's ready. Because Madam is trying to lose weight recently, she sometimes only eats one meal a day in the afternoon."
No, this is totally wrong!
It seemed as if Liu Yanbing had created the conditions for others to kill him.
She doesn't allow the maid to knock on the door, turns off the lights at a certain time, stays in the room all day, and doesn't eat. What on earth is she doing? Could it be that he is doing something weird because he believes in some Feng Shui technique?
After being notified by the police, Feng Charlie also learned the news quickly, rushed over from somewhere else, and brought the police officers to collect evidence at the scene.
But because the suspect was quite cautious and did not leave any fingerprints, the case was once again lost.
And this time, Feng Charlie felt that the murderer's madness was beyond his imagination.
Even when the police officers were guarding outside, he would still find ways to get in and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
It seems that the police must closely monitor the only remaining eldest son, Gu Hongda. They cannot just investigate him secretly, but must directly inform him, go in and out of the same places with him, and stay within his sight at all times.
Lin Meiqi didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Feng Charlie asked: "What did you think of?"
"I'm thinking that this incident is probably the same as the last one. We are defenseless and 24-hour surveillance is useless."
"What do you mean?"
"From the current clues, it seems that Liu Yanbing took the initiative to let the suspect in, and she deliberately let that person avoid the police. Just like Gu Kaichuan's death, the victim probably knew that the police were outside before the incident, but still tried every means to escape from the alley to meet that person. This time, she gave the other party the key and let him in, but he didn't expect to be killed. This person may be the person they trust the most, even more than the police..."
"Who could it be?"
Lin Meiqi analyzed: "In fact, the three people who were killed now have the same attitude towards the suspect."
She counted on her fingers one by one, and Charlie Feng listened silently.
"The first victim, Gu Mingxuan, was killed in the early morning. He was drinking red wine with that person. He must have been in a very leisurely state to achieve that state. In other words, Gu Mingxuan felt that everything was under his control and he was in a dominant position. That person was his junior? It could be male or female. If it was a female lover, she was also dependent on Gu Mingxuan to occupy a dominant position. However, it has been confirmed that no other lovers were with him that day. They all have alibis. So who did Gu Mingxuan bring into the villa?"
Charlie Feng nodded.
Lin Meiqi continued, "The second victim, Gu Kaichuan, was the same. She left the villa through the back door to avoid the police and met the man in the portrait, but was killed. It was the same with Liu Yanbing this time, but I always feel that Liu Yanbing seems... a little different."
Charlie Feng was thoughtful.
Lin Meiqi pointed out the way Liu Yanbing died: "When Liu Yanbing died, she was wearing pajamas under her coat, just like the second victim, Gu Kaichuan. But Gu Kaichuan's pajamas were relatively normal. She would only wear a coat when she was with someone who didn't need to dress so decently and whom she trusted quite a lot. But this time, Liu Yanbing felt a little out of place."
"What kind of disobedience?"
"Let's assume that the person who was able to climb over such a high wall and strangle an adult woman to death with his fingers was more likely of the opposite sex. Then why did Liu Yanbing wear such a thin and transparent nightgown under her coat in her bedroom, with thin suspenders, exposing so much skin?"
"You mean, her relationship with that person of the opposite sex is unusual?"
Lin Meiqi opened the closet next to her and said, "Look at the pajamas in here. There are all kinds of them, even tightly wrapped home clothes. But she chose this one. She didn't let the maid get close to her, and it's not just one or two days. Can we suspect that she has a long-term lover?"
"That is to say, the murderer this time is different from the previous two people."
"It could be different, or it could be the same person. In other words, Liu Yanbing's relationship with someone must be a secret, and this person is also very close to the other two people. I haven't figured this out yet, and it seems that there is some logic that I haven't sorted out."
Charlie Feng propped up his chin. "What you said about Liu Yanbing having a lover outside is very likely true. Her wealthy husband Gu Mingxuan is living a life of luxury and even has his own villa to get involved with those people, which is convenient for Gu Mingxuan himself and also creates opportunities for Liu Yanbing. Liu Yanbing lived in this old house. When her second son went out to school and her eldest son lived in a temple, she was the only one at home with the maid. Her husband has been ignoring her for many years, so she may be looking outside to fill her empty heart."
Lin Meiqi nodded: "If they are lovers, then Liu Yanbing's clue makes sense. Why do we turn off the lights at 10 o'clock every night, and why can't we call the maid? And the matter of her losing weight, she was fine before, why did she suddenly want to lose weight and become slim? Only men and women in love will do such things. And she gave the other party a spare key and let him enter her bedroom through the main door at night. She didn't even lock the door. If she locked it, she could completely keep the suspect out."
"Maybe it was an agreement in advance, and she just let the other person in. Then she didn't expect that the person she loved the most strangled her to death on the bed. What a pity!"
"We need more evidence to find out who Liu Yanbing's lover is as soon as possible. She hid it so well that even the maid at home didn't know about it. I'm afraid it would be even harder for people around her to know."
Charlie Feng put one hand on the bedroom door and asked the maid, "This door looks different from the doors of other rooms."
The maid nodded: "Madam said that she is a light sleeper and is easily woken up by the noise of our movement, so she specially ordered a very heavy door to block out the noise."
To isolate noise, actually, is to prevent the sound in the room from leaking out, right?
Liu Yanbing acted very carefully. The maid didn't know, the housekeeper didn't know, so who else could have seen her and that man?
Feng Charlie thought of someone, he hurried downstairs and asked the housekeeper to call the driver.
Lin Meiqi suddenly had an idea: "Yes, the driver should know where he often takes her!"
"However, the place where Liu Yanbing asked the driver to stop should have been carefully chosen, near where she wanted to go. For the sake of the Gu family's property, she would never let Gu Mingxuan know that she had someone outside. So Gu Mingxuan was looking for someone openly, but she was just the opposite. She had to be cautious enough. This is why it is difficult for us to find clues."
Soon the driver arrived, and as soon as he got off the car, he hurried into the door of the living room and saw Feng Charlie standing there.
The driver stepped forward and said, "I am Liu Yanbing's driver, Sir, what do you want to ask? Just tell me what I know."
"Does Liu Yanbing spend much time outside?"
"She has hardly ever left the house since the Master was born. Before that, she would go out occasionally."
"Where does she always ask you to park?"
"It's a department store, quite far from the old house. I was also curious, why did you go to that building? Actually, there are many places to buy things near my home. But then I thought, women, when buying clothes, may have identified a certain brand, and only that mall has it, so I went there."
"Didn't you see her with anyone else when you dropped her off or picked her up?"
"No, Madam is always alone."
It seems that the confidentiality work was done very well. Could it be that she asked the man to leave early before the time the driver agreed to pick her up, so she always made time differences? After all, such things require caution.
"She always goes to that department store. Hasn't she been anywhere else?"
"She goes to department stores more often, but also to other places, such as restaurants and coffee shops. Sometimes she goes to a lady's house to attend her dance party."
"She only spends a lot of time shopping in department stores, right?"
"That's right. And they didn't let me wait around. They basically told me to do other things and I couldn't come back until I was done."
Then the area near the department store is more likely to be the place where she is meeting her lover, because if she parks nearby, the driver won't be suspicious and will think she is really going to buy clothes. As long as she has something in her hands when she comes out, she can hide it.
But after leaving the department store, she must have been going somewhere nearby.
"Looks like we need to go take a look next to the department store."
After the driver left, Feng Charlie saw that the police officers had almost collected all the evidence, so he took Lin Meiqi to the department store that the driver mentioned.
The location is really not close. It took 40 minutes to walk past two obvious department stores and get to the farthest one.
After arriving at the department store, Feng Charlie did not stop the car, but wandered around, which should be a place that Liu Yanbing could reach on foot, entering an alley or a yard.
Lin Meiqi said: "Is it possible that she didn't enter anywhere, but got into another person's car and was taken to another place?"
"That's too much trouble. It takes 40 minutes just to get here, and then drive a distance. It's too far. I prefer that the person is nearby."
"That's true. That would make it even harder for us to find you. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"It's just a matter of luck."
Feng Charlie's car circled twice nearby and started driving a little further away.
Suddenly, Lin Meiqi looked at the building next to her and felt that it was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. She stopped Charlie Feng.
"Why? What did you think of?"
Lin Meiqi glanced around the nearby streets. "I should have walked this road some time ago, but why am I here? I usually walk between the Serious Crime Unit, Kowloon Walled City, and the Police Academy. When have I ever appeared in this place?"
Lin Meiqi remembered something, but it was not so clear in her mind, there was only a vague shadow.
"Sergeant, you may have to back up and turn onto that road."
Feng Charlie did as she said, drove the car back, turned a corner and drove into another road.
“I’m familiar with this area.”
Feng Charlie drove forward for a while, and Lin Meiqi suddenly opened her mouth in surprise, "I know!"
Feng Charlie obeyed and parked the car aside.
Lin Meiqi looked at the magnificent restaurant opposite and took a deep breath.
"Blind date." Lin Meiqi said.
Feng Charlie was stunned for a moment: "Have you been here for a blind date?"
Lin Meiqi hurriedly explained: "It's not me, it's A-Wan. I accompanied A-Wan to this western restaurant for a blind date."
This is a fairly upscale hotel. From the outside, the buildings look unique. The walls are all made of tempered glass. There are no lights on during the day, but the interior already has a beautiful sense of light transmission.
The last time Maggie Lam and Wan-yee Ho came, it was at night. The lighting design was extremely atmospheric and indeed looked very high-end.
"It's okay. I just feel that this place is very familiar. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the case."
As Lin Meiqi was talking, she was about to turn around and let Feng Charlie drive, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.
In fact, from this direction, this western restaurant is only one street away from the department store, and it is the most upscale hotel nearby.
Given how wealthy the Gu family was, it is very likely that they had dined here.
Most importantly, Lin Meiqi remembered that this western restaurant was very private. Although they were sitting in the lobby at the beginning, she remembered that there was a special elevator going up with some private rooms, which were not lined up in a row like other restaurants.
The waiter introduced that there would be service staff to lead you up alone. Once you enter, the roads are scattered and you won’t see anyone else except yourself.
Therefore, we also receive celebrities and other figures, and the privacy is very good.
Lin Meiqi pondered.
In fact, there were too many names of competitors on the list that Feng Charlie asked someone to compile, but one of them was the Gao family.
The most important thing is that Gao Yugu’s hobby is also red wine. His business is in red wine, and he is in direct competition with the Gu family.
In addition, Gao Yugu was particularly fond of flirting with women, and there were beautiful girls he flirted with everywhere.
The last time she saw He Wanyi, her true colors were revealed. She even provoked the police and wanted to take her back to her residence. If she hadn't stopped them at that time, who knows what would have happened.
Playboy has his own tricks to fool those girls. He must take them to some very impressive places, and this western restaurant is one of them.
Most of them use routine and stereotyped ways to pick up girls.
Lin Meiqi was thinking so much, and Feng Charlie was quietly beside her without disturbing her.
Until she said to Charlie Feng: "Sergeant, I suggest adding one more suspect."
Charlie Feng was curious: "Who is it? The one who went on a blind date with He Wanyi?"
Lin Meiqi nodded: "Yes, his name is Gao Yugu."
Feng Charlie also suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen the name on the list.
However, even in the red wine business, there are many companies doing the same thing as Gao Yugu. Therefore, he only has an impression of this name, and has not yet reached the target if he conducts investigation.
"Do you think he could be the murderer?"
"I don't know, but I think the man who was having an affair with Liu Yanbing might be him. As for whether he had a motive to kill me, I'm not sure. If I remember correctly, Gao Yugu's home was also nearby, because he said he wanted to take He Wanyi home."
"Hey, you guys are making such a fuss. On the first day of the blind date..."
"Yes, so this person might be capable of doing such a thing. In other words, the person Liu Yanbing saw last night might be him. But don't worry, He Wanyi was not bullied that day."
Feng Charlie nodded: "I'll ask someone to check his recent movements, especially where he went last night?"
The two drove to the serious crime squad.
We passed a pedestrian street on the way and saw various snack stalls set up. The delicious aroma could be smelled across the street.
Lin Meiqi couldn't help but sniff it, and her nose twitched, which was seen by Feng Charlie.
"It's almost time for dinner, are you hungry?"
"A little bit."
It was strange. She had lunch a little late, so she shouldn't be hungry, but Lin Meiqi's stomach started to growl.
Lin Meiqi smiled bitterly, it seemed that she could no longer hide it.
Charlie Feng drove towards the small street, stopped beside it, opened the door and said to Lin Meiqi, “Come on, get out of the car, I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”
“But…” Lin Meiqi blinked.
"We can't rush Gao Yugu's matter. We need to fill our stomachs first so that we have the strength to work."
Lin Meiqi had no choice but to get out of the car, closed the door, and walked on the street with Feng Charlie.
It's very lively here, with all kinds of snacks, such as takoyaki, cart noodles, fried stuffed buns...
Lin Meiqi smelled the aroma of fried stuffed vegetables and moved closer. She saw white mist rising up into the air. Green peppers, eggplants, tofu and bitter melon were being fried in the pan. The ingredients were mixed together and fried until they were oily and delicious.
Before she could say anything, Charlie Feng handed over the money.
"Boss, give me a portion of fried and stuffed three treasures."
"Sergeant, I'm so sorry. I've already spent a lot of money on you today."
"I've already spent a lot, so this little bit won't make a difference."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boss suddenly said, "Wow, sir, is this your girlfriend? She is so beautiful."
Lin Meiqi quickly said and waved her hands: "We are colleagues."
"Is it a colleague? I don't think so."
"It's true!" Lin Meiqi emphasized.
The boss handed the fried stuffed buns to Lin Meiqi. After taking a bite, Lin Meiqi almost dropped her eyebrows: "It's so delicious!"
Subconsciously, I wanted to share: “Wow, do you want to try it?”
But when she saw Feng Charlie standing beside her and staring at her, she looked away for a moment.
"Oh, I mean..."
She wanted to say, Shazhan, you can buy another one for yourself. However, it seems that this is not appropriate. How can we let people continue to spend money?
She didn't know what to say, so she just kept silent.
Feng Charlie smiled and said, "Don't we have two toothpicks? I can just use this to taste it."
"Oh, yes, yes."
The boss brought a few extra toothpicks, which came in handy.
Feng Charlie came closer, picked up a piece with a toothpick, and was about to put it in his mouth when Lin Meiqi was stunned. Only when this face was so close to her did she realize how perfect his facial features were, and she held her breath instantly.
She heaved a sigh of relief only after Charlie Feng's handsome face left.
But this snack certainly couldn't fill her stomach, and soon her eyes moved on to other snacks.
"Would you like a bowl of beef offal, sister?" The boss next to her looked at Lin Meiqi.
Feng Charlie asked, "Would you like to try it? Their beef offal should taste quite authentic, I've heard people talk about it. Although it's just a small stall, it will take a while until it gets dark and everyone gets off work. Basically, there will be a long line, and you can't get it if you want to eat it normally."
"Really? If so, I'll definitely try it."
Lin Meiqi bought a portion of beef offal, which included tripe, liver, lungs and many other things.
Fortunately, she is mentally strong enough. Most new forensic doctors would not dare to eat such things because they would associate them with the various organs they dissected.
Charlie Feng realized it belatedly: "Oh, I shouldn't have asked you to buy this."
Lin Meiqi said: "It's nothing, this one is really delicious, I like it!"
Her smiling eyes curved into crescents.
Feng Charlie looked at her swaying ponytail and his heart skipped a beat.
The two of them walked around the small street and bought all the snacks they liked. Lin Meiqi was very satisfied with the meal by the end. Her stomach was slightly bulging, and she walked back.
"Are you full? These are just snacks, I'm afraid you won't have enough."
"I am greedy, but I am not a big eater."
Lin Meiqi smiled, followed him, returned to the car, opened the door and sat back.
We walked through the center of the narrow street, turned two corners quickly, and arrived downstairs at the Serious Crime Unit.
Feng Charlie sent someone to investigate Gao Yugu's movements. Lin Meiqi returned to the forensic room but did not sit down.
Because she found herself a little full, she walked around the table dozens of times. When she felt the food in her stomach had gone down a little, she sat back at the table and began to write Liu Yanbing's autopsy report.
It's past get off work time, but Lin Meiqi hasn't returned home yet.
Because she always felt that Gao Yugu might have news later, she wanted to go with him. After all, she had met Gao Yugu before when she was with He Wanyi, and knew what kind of person he was.
This kind of extremely cunning man is best observed with a woman's sharp eyes. Once his flaw is discovered, it must not be let go.
Charlie Feng was busy for a while, and when he didn't see her coming out of the forensic room, he knocked on the door and went in to ask, "Why don't you go home? Do you have classes later? Do you need me to take you there?"
"Need not."
Just as Lin Meiqi finished speaking, a police officer ran over from a distance and said to Feng Charlie, "There is news. Gao Yugu is hosting a dinner party at a hotel tonight and has invited many partners. It should be a dinner party specifically for negotiating cooperation, and the theme is red wine!"
"When does the dinner start?"
"It should have already started. It's said to have started about half an hour ago."
Feng Charlie said, "Okay, give me the address and I'll be there right away."
Lin Meiqi stood up: "I want to go too."
Feng Charlie looked back at her and said, "Okay, come along."
Today I really caught up with Feng Charlie's pace and went out for several trips. Thinking about how they run like this every day, Lin Meiqi couldn't help but admire them.
But she is not as prone to illness as Feng Charlie imagined. The last time was just an accident. She has very good physical fitness.
In fact, she hasn't practiced for a long time, and she wants to practice.
In the previous case, Xie Zhiruo showed her skills in catching the informant. She mainly played an auxiliary role. She thought that one day she would be able to catch one by herself, which would give her a sense of accomplishment!
This hotel and the western restaurant are not in the same place. After all, it is used to entertain cooperative guests, so the venue needs to be larger.
When she arrived at the entrance of the building, Lin Meiqi witnessed Gao Yugu's terrifying financial resources.
A row of waiters stood in two rows at the door, all wearing uniform clothes, white gloves, with a bouquet of flowers in their chest pockets, and bowed to the visiting guests: "Excuse me, do you have an invitation?"
Visitors present the gold-stamped invitation, receive a small gift, and then enter.
You can see the scene from the door, it’s so luxurious. The red carpet covered the entire ground, and some wealthy people stood on the standing tables, women in dresses and men in suits, toasting each other.
Next to it is a long winding dining table, which is filled with a wide variety of desserts, red wines, hot and cold meals, and even some large lobsters, king crabs, and various precious ingredients.
Lin Meiqi instantly felt a little regretful. She should have saved some space for herself.
However, she and Charlie Feng could only stand at the door and look inside.
Because they were stopped and without an invitation letter, they couldn't reveal their identities, right? That's not called infiltration, that's called an open search.
If the police go in, it will disrupt the relaxed atmosphere at the scene, and it will be difficult for the real suspect to reveal himself.
"Sorry, I remember bringing the invitation. Did you forget it in the car? I'll go get it."
Charlie Feng had an outstanding figure and aura, and the suit he wore was also high-end. When he stood there, he had a strong aura, and people could not doubt that he was indeed the special guest of this dinner.
But after Feng Charlie walked away, he was also in trouble. Where could he find the invitation letter?
Ah Hao is such a fool. He asked them to come without telling them clearly that they needed admission tickets. Otherwise, he should have given them two tickets before letting them in. Why are they being blocked outside the door?
As he was thinking, Feng Charlie suddenly heard a woman talking on the phone not far away.
The woman was wearing a golden dress, which looked quite eye-catching.
She held the mobile phone in her hand and complained to the person on the other end of the phone: "Are you coming or not? You left me waiting outside alone."
Not knowing what the other party said, the woman was furious: "If you are not coming, just tell me earlier. Really, you made me wait for you for so long and put on makeup. Well, you play your cards, I'm going to find my little sister too!"
After saying that, the woman hung up the phone and cursed a few words under her breath.
Charlie Feng quickly pulled Lin Meiqi forward and asked, "Miss, do you have a ticket? Or two?"
The woman replied, "Yes, what can I do for you?"
"I'm sorry, we left our tickets at the company, and now we don't have them, so we can't get in. This will delay our business, and it will be too late to go back and get them. Can you please buy two tickets and transfer them to us?"
"How much can you give for the transfer?"
"These tickets are given away by partners. They are not worth much, so I won't pay too much. Two tickets, 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. Miss, do you think you can get them?"
The woman rolled her eyes. It was a non-loss business for her anyway. She wasn't going to get involved, so transfer was certainly not a problem.
"Okay, I'll give you the ticket then."
Charlie Feng took out 5,000 Hong Kong dollars and gave it to the woman.
The woman's driver was waiting for her on the side of the road. She got in on her high heels and the car drove away.
Lin Meiqi said in surprise: "5000 Hong Kong dollars, Sergeant, you are so generous!"
Feng Charlie said, "As long as it can be used, it's fine. I don't want to waste time on bargaining. It would be best if I can get it done in one go."
Lin Meiqi lamented that the way rich people play is really different. If it were her, she would have to talk a lot to get a ticket.
Finally I can enter, two invitations correspond to two guests.
Charlie Feng put Lin Meiqi's hand in his arm and took her in.
Lin Meiqi whispered, "Are we pretending to be a couple here too?"
Feng Charlie said: "No, this is a basic dinner etiquette. Even if two people are colleagues, they should do this."
Lin Meiqi was skeptical, but when she saw that all the men and women entering the venue were holding each other's arms like this, she finally believed it.
"Wow, the things that high-end people play with are really beyond her imagination." Lin Meiqi exclaimed.
Feng Charlie looked at those couples, not knowing what they were thinking.
They found a place farther away to sit down. Because Gao Yugu knew Lin Meiqi, she was afraid of being recognized, so she found a place with a bonsai that blocked the view.
However, as long as Lin Meiqi slightly turned her body, she could see Gao Yugu's every move clearly.
