Chapter 61 Good Citizens
Li Ziyu remained silent. She made a guess about her inner thoughts at that time.
If she really continued to see this light, perhaps out of curiosity she would keep observing Lu Bai.
And considering her current thoughts, don't say it, you really shouldn't say it.
It is very likely to develop into a secret love.
Lu Bai was overjoyed, but he still tried to remain calm on the surface, "It seems that our daughter and I were destined to be together."
Li Ziyu rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, let's go to the scene."
Lu Bai had the same idea and was driving towards the secret room.
The secret room was closed because of a murder case, and the owner was worriedly looking at the long cordon at the door.
He paced alone at the door, "This business was difficult to do, and now it's cool, completely cool."
Li Ziyu placed his hand on the wound and walked over slowly. "Boss, what are you talking about? Playing in an escape room is exciting and thrilling. Isn't this a living propaganda?"
The boss was startled by Li Ziyu who suddenly appeared behind him. He looked him up and down carefully and asked, "Who are you?"
Lu Bai had just gotten out of the car and took the coat from the back seat. She put the coat on Li Ziyu's shoulders and took out her ID. "Police."
She pointed inside the store and asked, "Who are those people in there?"
Although the store door was closed, Lu Bai could still see a few vague figures.
The boss was vague, "They are just a few shop assistants, they come here to do their job, they still have to be paid, I can't just give them money for free."
Lu Bai pushed away the boss who was blocking his way and prepared to go inside.
The boss dodged and came in front of Lu Bai again, smiling awkwardly, "Officer, do you still want to see the scene? It's already done."
Lu Bai was too lazy to talk to him, and the details of the police investigation were indeed not convenient to disclose. She looked at those figures walking back and forth, and she felt more and more that something was wrong.
The boss was blocking her way and she couldn't do anything. She could only stand in front of the door with a helpless look on her face.
Li Ziyu rubbed her brows. She had to step in at this time. "Boss, you are not a local, right?"
The boss looked at her warily, "What the hell, are you discriminating against outsiders?"
Li Ziyu waved his hand, "You're being polite. I want to tell you that I don't know how long you've been in Wuzhou, but if you..."
She pointed to the door and said, "Let your staff receive customers during the police blockade. Our Wuzhou criminal police have bad tempers, so please bear with us."
She made the implicit meaning of her words very clear and her attitude was very firm, saying what Lu Bai was not convenient to say out loud.
The boss put his hands on his hips and didn't want to pay for Li Ziyu's bill.
Li Ziyu chuckled, "I'm telling you this now to give you a chance to correct your behavior. If you want us to bring someone over, we have to go to the police station."
She raised her chin towards her boss and said, "I know."
The boss was already unsure, and now he was even more panicked, "Yes... I accepted a group, but it hasn't started yet..."
Lu Bai snorted coldly, she knew it!
This boss is secretive and it's obvious that he has something to hide!
Li Ziyu leaned against the wall with his arms folded. "So are you going to ask them to leave, or are you going to go back to the bureau with them and have a cup of hot tea?"
The boss walked into the store awkwardly, and after a while, a group of people walked out with very bad faces, chattering non-stop.
Lu Bai turned sideways, holding Li Ziyu's hand and walked into the store.
[Playing a secret room in a secret room, this murderer is also a bit of a bad taste. 】
[This boss seems to be quite stingy. If the deceased was a person who was in debt for many years, why did he come to work here? Aren’t there many places to make money faster than here? ]
Lu Bai came to the scene holding Li Ziyu's hand. She did not avoid Li Ziyu's characterization and analysis, which would indeed help her solve the case as soon as possible.
Walking to the beam, Lu Bai stopped and pointed at the surveillance camera. "The blind spot of the surveillance camera is right here. The deceased was hanged here."
"According to the current evidence, it can be proved that the deceased was strangled while still alive. I found a long and thin cut on the burglar-proof window of that window."
Lu Bai said as he walked over there, "According to my observation, diagonally opposite this room is the store's warehouse. If someone wants to build a secret room there, there is enough space."
Li Ziyu listened to her and just nodded slightly in response.
Her neither salty nor bland attitude made Lu Bai feel a little guilty.
Lu Bai asked tentatively: "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"
Li Ziyu shrugged, "I didn't say anything wrong. You are the captain, and you have the final say on how to investigate the case."
She didn't have any opinion on Lu Bai's speculation, she just wanted Lu Bai to truly take charge of the case instead of subconsciously questioning herself.
Lu Bai stood up straight, feeling an inexplicable sense of mission. "I also found water stains on the beams. I suspect it was a timer device set by the murderer."
Although she had never come across any locked-room cases, she had read many files of locked-room cases, most of which involved a timed murder scene.
Or it can be used to recover crime tools and clean up traces.
But with such severe cuts, Lu Bai had reason to suspect that it was a murder device.
Otherwise, why would it take so much strength just to recover the tools?
Li Ziyu looked up at the beam and said, "At this height, a sophisticated device is needed."
Lu Bai also agreed with this point, "Yes, not only that, but we need to test it repeatedly."
Only in this way can we ensure that the device is foolproof and can accurately measure the deceased's movements, time, and strength.
Li Ziyu glanced at the boss who was "peeking" at the door, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Boss, do you want to be a good citizen?"
The boss said righteously, "I am a good citizen. Oh, officer, you can't say such nonsense."
Li Ziyu was unmoved, "Come here."
She waved at him, "Good citizen, do us a favor."
The boss was also curious, but he was too embarrassed to eat the watermelon openly, so he could only walk in reluctantly.
He rubbed his hands excitedly, "What's going on?"
When Li Ziyu saw the boss for the first time, Lu Bai understood clearly in his heart.
This was because Li Ziyu was injured and it was difficult to recreate the scene, so they found a real tool for Lu Bai, a ready-made one.
Lu Bai patted his boss's shoulder heavily, "Are you ready?"
The boss was still confused. "What are you preparing for? What are you going to do?"
Lu Bai pointed at the beam and asked, "How do you usually get up there?"
Looking at the tall beams, the boss recalled, "I don't usually go up there. I only go there during the Chinese New Year to do some house cleaning. I use the ladder inside the warehouse."
"But that ladder is very heavy. It's one of those big wooden ladders you see on construction sites. It's hard for one person to move it."
Lu Bai pursed his lips, "Really?"
