Chapter 60: Unrequited Love
The fact that she did not refute Lu Bai showed that Lu Bai's speculation was correct.
Lu Bai continued, "The killer who could devise such a complete set of secret rooms must be a man of quick thinking. I don't know if he is a high-level intellectual, but he is definitely not an ordinary thug."
She has been dealing with gangsters for a long time.
Generally speaking, whether these people beat someone up or accidentally killed someone, they were generally hasty and chaotic.
Li Ziyu raised his eyebrows, "Captain Lu doesn't want me to get involved in this case, right?"
From the time he returned to the police station until now, Li Ziyu had the feeling that Lu Bai had begun to take the lead in the progress of the entire case and no longer asked for his opinion too much.
Lu Bai glanced to the side and asked tentatively, "Are you unhappy?"
Li Ziyu laughed, "I'm not happy? I am very happy, please don't bother me."
As the two were talking, they arrived at the small casino.
Lu Bai parked the car, put on his coat, walked to a door, and shouted to the person inside: "Hey! Open the door."
The person inside walked to the iron gate and looked at the two people in front of him, "Who introduced you?"
Lu Bai didn't waste time talking to him and took out his ID, "Police, open the door."
The man was stunned for a moment, then put on a smile and opened the iron gate, "Officer, we are doing legitimate business."
Lu Bai ignored her and walked inside, but always kept two steps away from Li Ziyu to ensure that he could protect her at the first possible moment.
When the man saw Lu Bai was about to go inside, he quickly blocked her way and said, "We are really doing serious business."
Lu Bai glanced at him and said, "Did I say you guys are not serious?"
Isn't this just confessing one's own crime?
The man obviously noticed this and was panicked for a moment, "No, officer, it's hard for us to do business if you're like this."
Lu Bai sat down on the chair and asked, "What business?"
This sentence made the man speechless. He could only point to the business license on the wall and forcefully explain, "It's a restaurant, so it has a license."
Li Ziyu sat down next to her. "Then do you two have a menu? We can order food, right?"
Lu Bai looked at the empty hall. There were a few dining tables, but only these tables had something to do with catering.
She looked at the embarrassed man and didn't intend to push him too hard. "I don't care what you do. I have a few questions for you now."
She took out the photo of the deceased from her phone and said, "If you answer me properly, I will turn a blind eye. If you..."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze towards the direction where the man had stopped her. It looked like a kitchen, but it was completely blocked by debris.
The man also sat opposite Lu Bai. He knew what was going on. As long as he was not arrested, everything could be discussed.
He said angrily, "Ask me anything you want, I'll tell you everything I know."
Lu Bai handed him the photo and asked, "Do you know this person?"
The man only took one look and nodded confidently, "Yes, I know him. He is the shareholder of this store. We had a drink together a few days ago."
Li Ziyu folded her hands without saying a word. She let go and let Lu Bai check it out on his own.
Lu Bai took out a pen and paper and opened the recording. "When was the last time you saw him?"
The man pondered, "About three or four days ago."
Lu Bai paused while recording, "Three days or four days?"
A difference of one day may mean missing out on the truth.
The man thought for a moment, "Four days, yeah! Four days. We drank too much that day."
Lu Bai continued to record, "Haven't seen him since then? Isn't he a shareholder?"
The man shrugged, "I haven't seen it before. When he was drinking that day, he said he found a rich man and we have to keep an eye on him. We are in this line of work, officer, you know..."
Lu Bai raised his eyes and looked at the man coldly. Just one look made the man shut up.
She looked away and continued to ask, "What rich man? Have you seen him before?"
The man shook his head. "Neither of us would contact each other's customers. I only know that he is a man who looks gentle and polite."
He paused, "But they seemed to have had an argument. I only saw it from a distance. Four days ago, after drinking, he seemed to have met that person, and the two of them must have had an argument."
Lu Bai asked a few more questions, but the man didn't know the answer, so she had no choice but to leave with this clue that seemed to be somewhat useful.
Just when she left, she sent a message to her colleagues in the public security department.
Li Ziyu looked at her texting and couldn't help but sigh, "Team Lu is really suitable for Mission: Impossible."
The previous second said, turn a blind eye.
I reported it to him the next second.
Lu Bai started the car. "You want me to be in league with this kind of person? Killing me would be more straightforward."
Li Ziyu agreed with what she said.
This sentence reminded her of something, and she jokingly asked, "Captain Lu, what do you think we were doing when we first met?"
This question confused Lu Bai, "Isn't it the interrogation room? I just transferred to Wuzhou, I don't think I have much contact with it before?"
Li Ziyu sat paralyzed in the co-pilot seat and sighed, "It seems that at that time, the Deer Team really didn't care about me at all."
She emphasized the last few words especially.
Lu Bai was intrigued by her, "What do you mean, Nannan?"
Li Ziyu smiled and asked, "Three years ago, you were an undercover agent in Beijing, and you were on a mission at the airport?"
Lu Bai's memories were brought back. She thought about it carefully and nodded, "That's true."
Li Ziyu yawned. "I had just returned to China that day and was transferring from Beijing to Wuzhou. I saw you in the terminal."
It was a sunny day. Outside the huge glass window of the terminal, in the parking lot not far away, a group of little yellow-haired dogs were standing.
Lu Bai seemed to be a special case among them, with a high ponytail, no yellow hair, and no exaggerated decorations.
He was clean and tidy, standing with his back straight among the crowd.
Although he acted cynical, he could fool others but not Li Ziyu, who was very good at reading people's minds.
With just one glance, she was sure that the person standing in the sunlight was a policeman.
She seemed to be able to see that Lu Bai's body was coated with a thin layer of white light from the sunlight.
At that time, Lu Bai was holding a lollipop in her mouth and chatting enthusiastically with those people. She didn't notice that in the terminal far away, there was a Li Ziyu looking at her.
Later, when she arrived in Wuzhou and met Lu Bai again, Li Ziyu could still see that thin light, even now.
Only Lu Bai has it, no one else has it.
Li Ziyu was troubled by this before, but as time went by, he got used to it and no longer found it strange.
After hearing this, Lu Bai seemed to have a preliminary understanding of why she could hear Li Ziyu's thoughts.
Li Ziyu has a special feeling towards her, and she can hear Li Ziyu's inner voice.
Everything seemed to be arranged as in the novel.
Li Ziyu held his head up and murmured to himself, "If we hadn't come to this point today, maybe I would have been unrequited in love."
Lu Bai chuckled, "Why? Did Nannan have plans against me?"
