Chapter 210 Testing Cesare Perth
"Let me think about it..."
"I remember now, it was last night!"
Caesar Perth sniffed, still reeling from his earlier sadness; his voice was hoarse.
“Last night, when he was flirting with you, female officer, I caught him. I knew he was up to no good again. Before I left, I specifically told him not to do that!”
"Besides these, what else did you say to him?" the interrogator pressed.
“I only said that one sentence to warn him, and then I never saw him again until just now, when you told me about his death…” Cize Perth’s expression darkened, and he shook his head regretfully. “What I said is true. You can check the surveillance footage.”
Wen Ni and the interrogator exchanged a glance and fell silent.
A knock on the door behind me broke the silence.
"Sir, we have found what you requested."
"good."
Wen Ni nodded knowingly, then glanced at Caesar Perth, who was secretly heartbroken under the light, before calmly turning her gaze away and walking out of the interrogation room.
That is, the instant the door is about to close.
She also clearly heard Caesar Perth explaining to the interrogator that he knew nothing about Louis's death, that it had nothing to do with him, and that he hadn't seen Louis since last night... He sounded very sincere!
Close the door and walk through the corridor of the interrogation room.
In the quiet office, the police officer skillfully opened the first video file on the computer screen.
"Sir, this is the video footage we retrieved from the guild hall!"
"Um."
Wen Ni responded lightly, then focused her attention, keeping her eyes glued to every frame.
The video shows that after Wen Ni hit Caesar Perth that night, she quickly left the scene on the fifth floor.
That is, after she left,
Caesar Perth strode to the dressing room door, his tall figure blocking half of Louis's body.
From the direction of the surveillance camera, you can see Louis's slightly panicked eyes!
"Louis, rein in your philandering ways! You are not allowed to touch a single girl in our club!"
On the computer, Caesar Perth's warning and angry voice was clearly audible to Wen Ni and the police officers!
After saying that, Caesar Perthes turned and went back to his office. Louis was left standing in front of the changing room, somewhat angrily patting his soiled trousers!
"Judging from the video alone, it is exactly the same as what Caesar Perth said."
Wen Ni pondered, stroking her chin. "Besides this, what else did you find out?"
"Sir, we have also retrieved video footage from the vicinity of Caesar Perth's house from last night to this morning, as requested by you."
"According to the video footage, he didn't leave home after getting off work until noon today when he went to the bathhouse. Furthermore, everyone he contacted, and everyone in his address book, seemed normal; there was nothing wrong with him!"
Wen Ni nodded and continued, "What about his background?"
“Cezz Perth was born in Russia to both Russian parents. Before he came of age, his parents died from drug overdoses, leaving a gap of several years. All we know is that he came to China after he came of age and started a jewelry business from scratch. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about him!”
"Furthermore, you asked me to investigate his travel records, which only show his movements between Russia and China, and a few other countries..."
"Has he ever been to Burma?" Wen Ni asked, her arms crossed and her face grim.
"No," the officer replied firmly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ni remained silent.
Her cold gaze fell on the computer next to her.
The screen displays the surveillance footage from the interrogation room at this very moment.
Caesar Perth sat quietly in the chair, his head slightly lowered.
"If we only consider what we've found in the investigation..."
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with Caesar Perth!”
Wen Ni's brow furrowed unconsciously, her mind heavy with worry!
Could it be...?
Is she really overly suspicious and overly anxious?
Her brief encounter at the International Hotel had given her a vaguely familiar feeling about him, leading her to assume he was a bad person. And now, coincidentally, he was the owner of this club!
A series of coincidences subtly created a connection...
"Then, sir, should we continue interrogating him?"
"Trial."
Wen Ni did not budge.
"Detain him for 24 hours to make sure he's really okay before releasing him!"
"clear."
The officer agreed and turned to leave.
Wen Ni remained standing in the same spot.
She rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and closed her eyes, but her mind was still racing!
It's strange...
Ever since she infiltrated Burma and fired a shot at the park's owner from afar, that owner has vanished! He hasn't sent anyone to threaten Lu Jinye's safety since!
Her shot was powerful, but not enough to kill him!
Could it be that he has been secretly recuperating all along?
Healing...
Wen Ni suddenly thought of something and abruptly opened her eyes!
The events involving the Burmese were only a few months ago.
The injury she inflicted on the old man's lower back must still leave a noticeable scar!
If we could determine whether Caesar Perth had that gunshot wound or not, wouldn't we know whether he and the Master were the same person?
Wen Ni pursed her lips, a new plan forming in her mind.
8 PM.
This marks the 24th hour that Caesar Perth has been detained at the police station.
The police still hadn't gotten anything out of him, and they had to release Caesar Perth according to regulations.
As the interrogation room door opened, Caesar Perth's tall figure slowly walked out, lazily stretching and loosening his limbs.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Perth."
"Hmm? Commander Wen."
From Caesar Perth's perspective, Wen Ni, dressed in jungle camouflage, strode towards him.
She possessed an exceptional air about her, and a faint smile graced her serene and beautiful face. His trench coat was still draped over her arm.
"For a businessman, those 24 hours of delay should be enough to make a lot of money, right?"
“If it can help you solve the case, what are a mere 24 hours?” Caesar Perth said humorously, shrugging as he spread his hands. “Besides, I haven’t had a proper rest in a long time. This is a great opportunity for me!”
“I admire Mr. Perth’s magnanimity.”
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander Wen! I also admire you very much. At such a young age, you are so outstanding and your methods are swift and decisive!"
Caesar Perth raised his lips and glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, so I'll head out now. I bet my shareholders have been terrified while I was gone for a day and a night!"
"Alright, I won't take up any more of Mr. Perth's time."
Wen Ni raised her hand and handed him his trench coat. "Here, your coat and wallet!"
"Thanks!"
Caesar Perth reached out and took it.
Just as he took the things, Wen Ni suddenly strode over and approached his side!
