Chapter 13: The Collision of Ice and Fire
When the two returned downstairs, the ventilation duct had been removed.
Zhang Hai, the inspection department, the forensic department, and everyone who had left the scene gathered here.
It also verified Li Ziyu's speculation just now at the fastest speed.
There is indeed human tissue in the pipe.
It proved that Li Ziyu's guess was correct. Someone threw a body through the ventilation duct, and the severed hand passed through the duct and accidentally fell into the machine in this coffee shop.
Finally, he was discovered by the store clerk and the police were called.
After getting this important clue, Lu Bai grabbed Li Ziyu and drove back to the bureau and headed for the director's office.
Lu Bai was in a hurry. He brushed his hair and sat down on the chair in front of the desk. "Chief, I want to search the metal building."
Li Ziyu followed her slowly, her expression normal. She nodded slightly to the director and sat down slowly.
The director brought the cup of water to his mouth, but Lu Bai took it away. He had no choice but to put the lid of the thermos cup back on.
The director said meaningfully, "Xiaoyu, you are still calm."
Li Ziyu smiled and calmly brought the topic back to the case, "The chief has heard about the murder in the building, right?"
The director nodded and said, "It's fine if you want to investigate the metal building, but there is one thing I want to warn you about in advance."
"There is a company called Xingchao Advertising, which is owned by the former director's son. If they are not suspicious, don't bother them any more."
The two looked at each other and both understood the director's implication.
This is not about telling them not to disturb them, it is clearly about telling them to stay away from that company and not to provoke it.
Just as Lu Bai was about to speak, the people around him had already seized the opportunity.
Li Ziyu smiled, "We will."
After completing the formalities, Li Ziyu looked at Lu Bai, who looked very bad, and patted her comfortingly.
[We got the search warrant. No matter whose son he is, we'll investigate first.]
Lu Bai was a little surprised by these words. She had always thought that Li Ziyu was a law-abiding person and was afraid that she would stop her from investigating the case.
Unexpectedly, her ideas and what I wanted to do were exactly the same.
But Lu Bai thought about it again, and it was true. She was a person who smoked and drank alcohol in private, and she fantasized about abdominal muscles and vest lines every day.
The more he thought about it, the redder his ears turned.
This old comrade of hers has been undercover for so many years, but she has always remained chaste. How could she listen to all this?
With the search warrant in hand, the police checked every floor and every tenant one by one.
Lu Bai stood at the elevator entrance, looking at the company sign next to it, his eyes fixed on the Xingchao advertisement on the second floor.
Li Ziyu pressed the elevator button and said, "Let's go. If you want to see it, go check it yourself."
Invisibly, they have established a certain trust and tacit understanding.
The elevator stopped steadily on the second floor and the door opened. Contrary to what they had imagined, the company's door was locked.
It's work time on a weekday, but there's no one inside, not even the lights are on.
Lu Bai leaned against the glass door and looked inside carefully. She sighed, "Such a big company, and there is no one here?"
Li Ziyu squatted beside the lock and tugged at Lu Bai's leg. "Lu Bai, this lock is opened with a key."
"I know!"
Li Ziyu lowered his voice, "Don't you have special skills?"
"What am I carrying..." Lu Bai was a little upset, but as she muttered, she seemed to remember something.
Yes!
She fished another paper clip from her pocket.
Just as she was about to do it properly, her hand was grabbed by Li Ziyu again.
Li Ziyu thought about it for a moment, then shook his head, "No, it's against the law."
[After all, he is the son of the former director. It will be embarrassing if someone reports him.]
Lu Bai threw the paper clip on the ground, she stood up and looked down at Li Ziyu.
She...will still hinder herself because of her status.
Li Ziyu had her back to Lu Bai and did not notice the change in her expression. She took out her cell phone and called Zhang Hai.
"Hello, I'm Li Ziyu. Please help me find a colleague from the technical department and look up the phone number of Xingchao Advertising's legal representative. The sooner the better. I'll make the call."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ziyu stood up on her knees. Sometimes she really felt that her old self could not stand the high-intensity work in the bureau.
It was also at this moment that she saw Lu Bai's gloomy face.
Li Ziyu was puzzled, "What's wrong? Your face is so sour?"
Lu Bai leaned against the door with his hands folded, not saying a word.
As smart as Li Ziyu was, she understood Lu Bai's thoughts in a short moment.
She sighed, "Lu Bai, we need evidence to investigate a case. You have no evidence and want to pry open the door of someone else's company. Even if you have a search warrant, it won't work."
Unless there is strong evidence to prove that this case was committed by someone from this company, or the criminal is arrested.
And now, there is nothing.
If Li Ziyu is a genius, she can rely on logical thinking to make reasonable and careful inferences on everything.
Lu Bai, relying on his keen sense of smell and years of experience, took the most daring and "unconventional" actions.
So in Lu Bai's eyes, some things cannot be rebuilt without destruction, and now, her intuition tells her that there is definitely something wrong with this company.
Lu Bai swallowed her saliva and said unconfidently, "Let's go in secretly and check. If we find evidence, then everyone will be happy, right?"
Li Ziyu also had a tough attitude. "In my world, we can only make reasonable inferences and actions when there is substantial evidence."
Lu Bai turned his head away. "You talk about rules, but the murderer doesn't. Or does Advisor Li think that I should be more respectful to the owner here?"
What she said was very unpleasant.
In the past, when encountering such things, Lu Bai was the first to act, and she had never made a mistake, so this time, she also firmly believed in her intuition.
Li Ziyu frowned deeply. "I didn't tell you not to check. Zhang Hai has already contacted the legal representative of this company. Are you so anxious?"
That was true, and the logic was true, but Lu Bai was still furious.
Her father used to be a criminal policeman, a very upright one. That's why her father never showed mercy because of anyone's relatives or face.
Many people said that it was this kind of character that brought her father to his death.
If the director hadn't told her today who owned the company, she might have taken Li Ziyu's side.
But she just couldn't change her mind now. She felt that Li Ziyu was unwilling to let her act on her own out of consideration for their personal feelings.
Some people get angry for no apparent reason, and no one knows why.
The two people who were arm in arm when they stepped out of the elevator are now standing in front of the glass door, neither of them willing to talk to each other.
“Ding Dong.”
The ringing of the cell phone broke the awkward atmosphere. Li Ziyu looked at the phone number sent by Zhang Hai and dialed the number.
No one answered the phone for a long time, and Li Ziyu's eyes became sharp.
Lu Bai's intuition was correct. Now all he lacked was a crucial piece of evidence to take action.
Li Ziyu put away her phone and looked sideways at Lu Bai, "You have to trust me."
Believe me, I am in the same position as you.
Lu Bai lowered his head and suddenly laughed, "I even believe that you are not the murderer, what else can I not believe?"
She took a deep breath and exhaled the stale air in her chest, "Zi Yu, I apologize for what I said just now. It's my own problem. You are right."
Her stubborn character is not other people's fault, and she cannot take it out on others.
Especially Li Ziyu.
She put on her heartless look again, stroking her chin, "Then we have to check on the man in the surveillance video."
Li Ziyu never expected that the dignified Lu Bai would bow his head and apologize to her. She was dazed for a moment, but she reacted quickly.
Her eyes were full of tenderness. "Let's go, Deer Team."
"Deer Team, new clues!"
