Chapter 19 Chapter 19
The bartender immediately sniffed his clothes.
"Are you nervous now?" Lu Jianing continued, "Yesterday, you and Meng Yuan were together for such a long time, and you didn't even change your clothes."
The bartender said subconsciously: "I changed it."
Lu Jianing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
As soon as the bartender finished speaking, he immediately realized something and looked up at Lu Jianing and the others in horror.
Sure enough, Lu Jianing and He Qifeng were staring at him intently.
He said, "No..."
"Don't explain," Lu Jianing said nonchalantly, "I was unconscious from the time I arrived at the police station last night, so I couldn't smell the scent of Meng Yuan at all."
"Not to mention that you two are wearing the same perfume."
The bartender said, "You ripped me off!"
"Alas, how can it be said that I am deceiving you?" Lu Jianing said nonchalantly, "At most, you framed me and I framed you, but in the end, you failed to frame me and you were exposed instead."
He Qifeng asked at the right time: "What is your relationship with the deceased?"
"Why should I tell you?" the bartender said.
"I advise you to tell the truth. He is a policeman." Lu Jianing threatened.
"Police...Police?" The bartender looked at He Qifeng in surprise for a second.
"Yeah." Lu Jianing nodded proudly, as if she was the one who was in the limelight instead of He Qifeng.
-
He Qifeng called the bartender to the sofa.
He took out the notebook and said in a serious tone, "Name."
"Wang Peishen, 27 years old, bartender." The bartender said with his head down.
He Qifeng: "What is your relationship with the deceased?"
Wang Peishen replied: "We have been dating for almost half a year."
He Qifeng: "Who did the deceased offend during his lifetime?"
Wang Peishen: "No, Xiaoyuan is kind and hardworking, and she basically doesn't have conflicts with others."
He Qifeng: "Are you sure?"
Fearing that they might not believe him, Wang Peishen said seriously, "Yes, I am sure."
He Qifeng asked again: "When was the last time you saw the deceased?" This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Wang Peishen thought for a while and replied, "It was around 7 o'clock last night, a few minutes after the person next to you poured our signature wine on himself."
He Qifeng glanced over.
Lu Jianing rubbed his nose unnaturally: "The smell of that wine is better than many big-name perfumes."
"What was the deceased doing at the time?" He Qifeng continued to ask.
Wang Peishen said: "Meng Yuan is the lead singer of our bar. She usually sings first, but she was not feeling well yesterday and did not go on stage."
"The last time I saw her, she was walking across our bar to the bathroom."
Lu Jianin: "Did the deceased live here before he died?"
Wang Peishen: "Yes, we provide accommodation here. Xiaoyuan lives in a double room."
Lu Jianing: "Take us there."
Wang Peishen was stunned. He looked at Lu Jianing, as if wondering what right she had to order him around.
He Qifeng quickly came to the rescue: "Take her with you, she is a suspect. If I don't watch her, she will probably run away." This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Wang Peishen hesitated and said, "Okay."
The road leading to the staff dormitory is very long. You have to go around the backstage and walk through a small narrow path to get there.
It was dark around and I could hardly see outside. In the pitch-black space, a beam of white light looked particularly bright.
Lu Jianing knocked on the surrounding walls: "Are you sure this is a dormitory and not a dungeon? The cells in the police force are brighter than here."
"What do you know?" Wang Peishen said, "Land in Linjiang City is very expensive. It's good enough that our boss can leave space for them to live in."
Lu Jianing continued to ask: "They? You don't live here?"
Wang Peishen said without any defense: "This is only for girls to stay. Boys are not allowed to stay here at night. Our person in charge said that this is to ensure the personal safety of girls."
I don't know if he was sincere or just speaking to get by.
Lu Jianing casually echoed: "Your boss is quite humane."
"At least he's more humane than you." Wang Peishen complained.
Lu Jianing choked: ...
She shouldn't have asked so much.
"I'm sorry, you seem to have some misunderstanding about me," Lu Jianing raised his voice behind him and said, "I not only provide accommodation for my employees, but also provide a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan. As long as they take leave, no matter the reason, it will be fully paid. Work four days a week and rest three days a week, work at 10 am and get off at 4 pm."
"If you want to work hard, we have full-time positions. For every profit generated for the company, we will give employees a 10% commission reward. If you don't want to work hard, our company has a special pension position with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, including food and accommodation."
As if to deliberately annoy people, Lu Jianing added: "I forgot to mention that our dormitory is upstairs from the company, and there is a special cleaner to clean it every day. If you are single, you will receive a single subsidy every month, up to 200."
"Of course, our company doesn't hire employees who only want to live in the basement," Lu Jianing said, paused for a second, and then continued, "After all, our basement is only for sleeping cars - not people."
What a weird mood.
Wang Peishen was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

After walking for about a few minutes, the three finally arrived at the door of the girls' dormitory.
After saying something to the aunt outside, they were led by the aunt into a bedroom.
The bedroom was dark and airless, with the only weak sunlight coming in through the small window at the top.
Lu Jianing stood inside and felt that it was basically no different from the narrow black path outside. Even later, when Wang Peishen turned on the lights, the whole room still seemed dim.
Lu Jianing covered his nose and muttered, "This place is worse than the guardhouse where I slept last night."
He Qifeng: "Besides Meng Yuan, who else is here?"
The dormitory manager said, "Liu Ru, she also lives here."
Lu Jianing asked, "Are all the rooms here for two people?"
The dormitory manager quickly replied: "No, we have six-person rooms, two-person rooms and four-person rooms, all of which are different."
Lu Jianing: "How did you divide the dormitories?"
Dormitory manager: "I don't know either. They change it back and forth, once a month."
"However, this dormitory has hardly changed. It has always been occupied by Xiaoyuan and Liuru."
He Qifeng observed his surroundings carefully without saying a word until he stopped in front of the dressing table.
He reached out and picked up a bottle of foundation.
"Oh my god, I'm dying, don't touch a girl's things." The dormitory manager hurriedly tried to stop them.
He Qifeng slowly put it down and immediately apologized: "Sorry."
"You three should come out quickly. Liu Ru will be back soon," the dormitory manager explained. "If she finds out, she will scold you."
As soon as the dormitory auntie finished speaking, a girl's voice came from the door: "Auntie Yuan, what's wrong?"
Liu Ru stood at the door and looked at two strangers standing in her room. She asked, "Who are you..."
Wang Peishen immediately explained: "Liu Ru, this is Captain He, from the criminal police team. This is Lu Jianing, you should have heard of him."
The dormitory manager exclaimed, "Oh, the police."
"Hello... hello." Liu Ru greeted awkwardly, "What are you doing in my dormitory?"
Lu Jianing stared at her for a long while before slowly saying, "Investigate the case."
Liu Ru's face showed no emotion. She said, "Meng Yuan sleeps on the left bed, and I sleep on the right. The entire dressing table is hers, and I don't have it."
"You can look through it as you like, but I hope you won't mess around with my things."
Lu Jianing agreed readily: "No, don't worry."
After getting permission, He Qifeng observed the dressing table again. He sat on the chair in front of it and opened the drawers one by one to check.
Only Lu Jianing cast her eyes on Liu Ru casually. She asked, "Did you go to the gym?"
"Yes," Liu Ru said, "Because of our industry, we are not as busy during the day as at night, so if I have time during the day, I go to the gym."
"Meng Yuan is the lead singer in your bar," Lu Jianing said, "So what are you?"
Liu Ru answered calmly: "I used to be the lead singer, but after Meng Yuan came, I gradually faded out of the lead singer position."
Lu Jianing said, "She came and snatched your things. You must feel very uncomfortable."
Hearing her words, Liu Ru became alert: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"No?" Lu Jianing said, "There are many such cases in our company. Many of them are so eager to run away when their jobs are taken away by their seniors. Not to mention that the one who took away their job is a newcomer to the workplace."
Liu Ru: "Xiao Yuan and I don't have that much conflict at work. She's a nice person."
Lu Jianing didn't know why she was thinking, she asked: "What about you?"
Worried that they didn’t understand what he meant, Lu Jianing added, “How are you?”
"Boss Xiaolu, Captain He is investigating a case now, could you please not make things more complicated?" Wang Peishen took the lead in standing in front of Liu Ru and said indignantly.
"Okay, I can choose not to ask, but..." Lu Jianing raised his eyes and stared at him, "The mouth is on my body, who are you to order me? And why should I listen to you?"
"Take care of yourself. When you have the authority to give me orders, then you can teach me how to do things."
As soon as Lu Jianing finished his retort, He Qifeng stood up from his seat and walked to Lu Jianing's side: "What's the conclusion?"
Lu Jianing seemed to be curious about why he suddenly asked her this question. She tilted her head and raised her lips in a non-serious arc: "Captain He, what are you talking about?"
"You were guiding Liu Ru to speak just now. Did you remember something?" He Qifeng asked bluntly without any hesitation.
Liu Ru and Wang Peishen were both shocked.
Lu Jianing lowered his head and deepened the smile on his face: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Captain He. I admire you."
He Qifeng: "State the conclusion."
"The conclusion is..." Lu Jianing kept the secret, "Last night, I heard the voice of the person who quarreled with Meng Yuan, and it sounded exactly like Miss Liu's."
"So, I think that you two probably don't get along as well as you say."
