Chapter 39: Innocent until proven guilty
Li Ziyu carefully held Lu Bai's hand and led her to the roadside.
[This person seems to be... a celebrity in that interview, the vice president of a prospective listed company? ]
After she said that, Lu Bai actually felt that this man looked familiar.
Wang Fei was dressed in a suit and tie. He waved at the villagers with an official smile on his face.
He walked up to Lu Bai and handed him his business card. "This is the land that our group won the bid for. We will build a new technology building soon. I wonder what happened?"
Lu Bai took the business card and looked at the name on it. She nodded, "Mr. Wang, do you know me?"
She didn't have the words "Criminal Police Captain" written on her head. How did Wang Fei find her so accurately among so many policemen?
Wang Fei smiled and said, "I don't even have this ability to know people, so I can't be in this position."
Lu Bai half listened to his words, she didn't want to argue with him in official language.
She stood in front of Wang Fei, her back straight. "This place is blocked now. We have no way of telling you the specific situation."
Wang Fei is a very versatile person, so he was not too surprised by Lu Bai's straightforward rejection.
He just looked at Li Ziyu deeply and said in a low voice, "I haven't attended Mr. Li's funeral yet. I don't know if Miss Li... Oh, you should call her President Li now."
Li Ziyu gave him a neutral look and didn't respond.
Wang Fei continued to talk without thinking: "I heard that Mr. Li is now working in the Municipal Bureau? Such a big company, won't he take over? Otherwise, I will say hello to the leader..."
"No need."
Li Ziyu interrupted her, and she was a little disgusted. "Don't beat around the bush and bring up those leaders you know."
She didn't give Wang Fei any face at all.
Wang Fei was obviously unhappy.
But Li Ziyu didn't care about these at all. She looked Wang Fei up and down.
She casually pulled over a police officer, looked at Wang Fei with a smile, and said in a gentle tone, "Since you are here, make a statement as well."
Wang Fei's face was filled with shock. "You want to take a statement from me?"
Lu Bai put the business card in his pocket. "Aren't you here to cooperate with the police? Since this land belongs to you, you should know something, right?"
Lu Bai had no idea whether he knew about it or not, but as a veteran criminal police officer, her keen sense of smell kept telling her that Wang Fei had a criminal aura.
In Li Ziyu's eyes, Wang Fei, as the vice president, would not come here in person even if the land belonged to their group, given his status.
Unless in his subconscious mind he cares very much about what happens here, and there are even some things that he must verify personally.
Or, to make sure nothing goes wrong.
Lu Bai clapped his hands, "Ah! By the way, since Mr. Wang has a special status, let's go back to the bureau and have a cup of tea, so we can have a good chat."
Wang Fei put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked, "Why do you want to take me back to the police station?"
Li Ziyu shrugged, "Just a cup of tea."
Lu Bai's decision was correct. Wang Fei had enough capital to leave the country. By then, it would be too late to call on him.
If he really has nothing to do with the case, at most he will receive a complaint.
He was then severely scolded by the director and fined thousands of times for "innocent until proven guilty".
After returning to the police station, Lu Bai took out a handful of tea leaves from the director's office.
The director, who was attending a meeting in the provincial government, always felt a chill on his back.
Lu Bai brought the hot tea to Wang Fei.
Wang Fei just took a look and didn't move.
She showed him a photo from the surveillance video and asked, "Do you recognize this car?"
Wang Fei leaned back in his chair and nodded, "This is Mr. Huang's car."
Lu Bai took out another photo, which showed a woman who looked to be around 40 years old. She took good care of herself and there was not a single wrinkle on her face.
She held the photo in front of Wang Fei and asked, "Is that her?"
Wang Feiduan looked at the photo carefully. After a moment, he spoke, "Yes, what happened to her?"
This is the license plate found in the surveillance video. After comparison and search, the woman in the photo was identified.
Li Ziyu was holding a report that had just come out from the technical department, which recorded some of the woman's interpersonal relationships and a tricky identity.
Chairman of a quasi-listed company.
Li Ziyu handed the report to Lu Bai, and she sat down nearby.
She glanced at the tea in front of Wang Fei, raised her eyebrows slightly, and took it over, "Mr. Wang, don't you want to drink it?"
She asked while bringing the tea to her mouth.
Without waiting for Wang Fei to speak, she asked, "When was the last time you saw her?"
Wang Fei's expression was out of control for a moment. It was the first time he was treated so coldly.
But the person sitting in front of him was the Li Group, the current person in charge. Even if Li Ziyu was no longer in charge of the company, she still had this identity.
Wang Fei held back his anger and said, "The shareholders' meeting two days ago."
Li Ziyu smacked his lips twice. "Hmm~ What happened?"
Wang Fei shook his head, "No, we are discussing the listing next month."
Li Ziyu raised her eyes and blew away the hot steam rising from the boiling tea. Her tone remained calm, but with a hint of coldness.
"So there can be no surprises for any of you during the launch."
Including suicide and being murdered.
All of these may lead to listing failure.
The atmosphere in the conference room was stagnant for a moment. Lu Bai leaned back in her chair, supporting her head, and looked at the man quietly.
Wang Fei reached out and loosened his tie. "Of course, Mr. Li should also be very clear that there can be no mistakes in the listing."
Li Ziyu nodded with satisfaction, and waved her hand casually, "You can go now."
She paused, "One more thing, Mr. Wang can call me Consultant Li from now on."
The title of Mr. Li was given to her by the Li family, but she earned the title of consultant through her own efforts.
Lu Bai stood up and sent Wang Fei out of the police station.
When I came back, I saw Li Ziyu staring at the teacup.
She gently held Li Ziyu from behind and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
[Could the woman be dead? ]
Lu Bai was stunned. "We have no evidence to prove who the deceased is."
[The white car drove into the wheat field, but there was no footage of it leaving. Why did the villagers there seem so familiar with Wang Fei?]
Li Ziyu lowered his brows in thought.
[The woman has a husband and a son. It seems she needs to go again and ask her husband.]
[If the woman is indeed deceased, the remains of her human tissue may be able to be matched with the DNA of her son.]
【In this way, it may be possible to confirm the identity of the deceased. 】
Lu Bai looked at the pitch-black night outside and said, "If I want to go to the woman's house, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning."
Innocent until proven guilty.
The police have no evidence in their hands now, and they may run into trouble if they visit late at night.
Li Ziyu looked down, "How is your foot?"
[Did she not apply any medicine? Really, she doesn't care about herself at all. I was also concentrating on investigating the case. I should have asked her earlier.]
