"Boss, we have checked all the surveillance cameras at Lide. We have also checked the people on the third floor research floor and the people in the lobby that day. No suspicious persons were found."
"Did the people in the monitoring room conduct a focused investigation?"
"We interrogated the people on duty in the monitoring room that day separately, and found no loopholes or flaws. We also monitored their recent accounts and found that no one had received any suspicious payments."
"Everything is normal..." The bearded man wiped his face vigorously, and when he put his hand down, he slammed the table, startling everyone in the conference room. He slammed the table and raised his voice, "Everything is normal. Does the suspect have clairvoyance or can see through things? Huh?!"
The meeting room was silent, and several people looked at each other, not daring to offend him.
"Ah?!" The bearded man slammed the table and said, "I'm asking you a question. Does the suspect have clairvoyance or X-ray vision? Tell me!"
"But……"
The bearded man turned around suddenly, and the policeman who was speaking shrank his neck and closed his mouth.
"But what?" The bearded man walked up to him, put his hand on the back of his chair, and said, "Tell me, tell me what you are doing."
The policeman swallowed, lowered his head and said nothing.
"explain!"
"But there's really nothing unusual!" The policeman looked up and said, "Boss, we can't just arrest people randomly."
The bearded man threw the information in his hand and was about to get angry when a small voice said, "Actually, I think there is something suspicious, but I can't find the connection between it and the victim being hit..."
"explain."
"When we checked the surveillance footage that day, in order to more clearly determine whether someone had installed surveillance equipment in Lide in advance, we checked a few days ago and found a boy who looked suspicious..."
"Boy?" The bearded man paused, "Tell me in detail."
"The boy was probably between 17 and 20 years old. He was dressed very elegantly and his clothes were very expensive! I saw the coat he was wearing when I was shopping with my girlfriend before. Do you know how much it cost? Six figures! Six figures...”
The bearded man frowned and said, "Speak to the point!"
"That man looked like a child from a wealthy family. At first we all thought he might be the child of a senior executive of Lide who came to the company to look for someone, so we didn't pay much attention to him. Later we found that he took the elevator to the 22nd floor, went out for less than a minute, then returned to the elevator and went downstairs."
"continue."
"I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking that maybe the person he was looking for wasn't there, so he went back. But when we checked the surveillance footage, there happened to be a security guard on duty, and he said he saw a very magical scene, which happened to the boy." The police officer who spoke recalled: "The security guard said that the boy came in with a bouquet of flowers, because he bought the same bouquet of flowers for his wife the day before, so he took a few more glances at it. Unexpectedly, when the boy left the 22nd floor, the flowers disappeared!"
"What does that mean?" one person asked, "He gave the flowers away within a minute?"
"Are you stupid?" another person said, "The man he was talking about hasn't even left the elevator yet, and the flowers are gone!"
"Yes!" said the policeman, "The security guard also said that he saw the flower disappear out of thin air with his own eyes. To prove that he was not dazzled, he watched the surveillance video several times and found that the flower had indeed disappeared out of thin air inexplicably."
"Really?" The audience was paying close attention. "Did you watch the surveillance video, too?"
"I'm curious, too!" The policeman shook his head. "I asked the security guard to show me the surveillance footage of that day. He said that after he changed his shift the next day, he found that the footage had changed. The boy was still in the elevator, but the flowers in his hand were gone. The footage was exactly what we saw. The boy went to the 22nd floor, then went out for less than a minute and went back down again."
"What?" Someone tutted, "Then the security guard can make up a story."
"I thought he was lying to me at first, and I warned him that he would be held legally responsible if he talked nonsense while we were investigating a case. But he insisted that he saw it right. I didn't think he was lying, so I replayed the surveillance video with him dozens of times. After carefully observing the boy's hand movements, I found that he must have been holding something in his hand at the time, because this is how a normal person's hand would be when relaxed, but when holding something, there would be a grasping motion." The police officer raised his hand and made a grabbing motion: "His hand gesture at the time was a typical grabbing gesture, so I asked someone from the technical department to analyze the surveillance video. The person from the technical department told me that there were indeed signs of deletions in the surveillance video, but the deletions were made very carefully, and it would not be found without careful analysis."
The people present were listening to him and were puzzled: "The boy just took a bunch of flowers, why did he go to the trouble of deleting the surveillance footage?"
The police officer who spoke was also very confused: "I couldn't find any connection between him and the suspects on the second day, so I didn't tell you at the beginning."
"At a time like this, any suspicion must be investigated thoroughly." The bearded man said, "Have you checked the identity of that man?"
"We checked." The policeman said, "We asked the front desk, and the boy was He Qianjian, the eldest son of the Tunan boss's family. He went to Lide that day to look for an intern on the 22nd floor. We also confirmed that there was indeed a female intern at Lide who knew He Qianjian, but she said that He Qianjian left without seeing her that day."
The bearded man knocked on the table and said thoughtfully: "The He family..."
"The people who called to ask about the progress of the investigation were from the He family." One person said, "If that's the case, then He Qianjian should know Jiang Chen. The two are of similar age, so maybe they are friends."
The police officer who spoke earlier said, "I investigated privately and found that He Qianjian and Jiang Chen didn't have much in common. Instead, he had a very good relationship with his brother He Qianmin. Many people know that He Qianjian and He Qianmin don't get along. Maybe it's because of this that Jiang Chen has a good relationship with all members of the He family, except for He Qianjian."
"I was wondering why the He family had their hands in this place. So it's because of this relationship." A policeman said, "I think Jiang Chen is quite powerful. He is just an ordinary student, but when he got into trouble, he had a lot of people backing him up, each one more powerful than the other."
"I think his identity must be extraordinary. The He family is because of his relationship with He Qianmin, and the Li family is because of his cooperation with Li De. What do you think is the reason for the Shi family?"
The bearded man knocked on the table: "Don't talk about things that are irrelevant to the case, let's get back to the topic!"
The young policeman suggested: "Boss, why don't we go to the He family and ask, we'll know once we ask."
"Are you stupid?" the policeman sitting next to him said, "You don't have any evidence at all, yet you come here to investigate a case, and you're investigating the eldest son of the He family. Aren't you afraid of being..."
"What are you afraid of!" The bearded man interrupted him: "You contact Jiang Chen, I will contact the He family and question them now."
"Now?" The young policeman was surprised, "But it's almost eight o'clock now."
The bearded man put on his police uniform and said as he walked: "Jiang Chen and He Qianjian are both students. This is the only time to find them. Don't talk nonsense, just call."
"yes."
Yang Yun picked up two pieces of mutton and placed them in Jiang Chen and He Qianjian's bowls, saying with a smile, "Eating mutton in winter is the best way to warm your body. You are both in your third year of high school now, so you all need to nourish yourself."
Jiang Chen raised his chopsticks and was about to speak when a pair of chopsticks came across from the side, blocking his chopsticks. He Qianmin's unhappy voice rang out: "Mom, my brother is allergic to mutton and can't eat mutton."
Yang Yun was stunned and quickly picked up the piece of mutton: "I'm sorry, Mom didn't know you were allergic to mutton."
Jiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay."
He Qianmin stood up: "Why not? I'll go get you a bowl of rice."
Old Madam He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that your father didn't inherit this from your grandfather, but you did. Before, he was the only one at the table who could only look at the food but not eat it, but now there is one more person to accompany him in his greed."
"Besides being allergic to mutton, is there anything else that you cannot eat?" Yang Yun said, "Tell mom everything, and I will avoid these dishes in the future."
"Only mutton." Jiang Chen smiled: "I'll eat the rest."
"Besides the braised meatballs, what else do you particularly like to eat?"
"I..." Jiang Chen's cell phone rang just as he started to speak. He leaned forward slightly and said, "I'll answer the call."
Just as Jiang Chen left the table, He Yanfeng's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he stood up and said, "I'm going to answer the call too."
After leaving the restaurant, He Yanfeng answered the phone. After hearing what was said on the other end, he frowned slightly. Before he could respond, he heard Jiang Chen's voice not far away.
He Yanfeng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your people are also calling Jiang Chen?"
"I'm with him now. I'll send you the address later and you can come directly."
Jiang Chen hung up the phone and turned around to see He Yanfeng standing not far away. He had just heard what He Yanfeng said, so he asked, "Will you let Captain Yu and the others come directly to the old house?"
"He said he has something to ask you and He Qianjian." He Yanfeng said, "When he finishes asking, I will send you directly back to the Jiang family."
Jiang Chen nodded, and seeing the thoughtful look in He Yanfeng's eyes, he said, "What are you thinking about?"
He Yanfeng shook his head, put his hand on Jiang Chen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Nothing, let's go in and eat."
Just as dinner was over, the doorbell rang.
The bearded man, dressed in plain clothes, walked in with the young policeman and the He family's aunt. Seeing the whole family sitting on the sofa, and Jiang Chen who blended in without looking out of place, he paused and said, "Mr. He, I'm Yu Fei who just called you. We're here to ask questions and investigate."
He Yanfeng stood up and shook hands with him: "Hello."
"What do you mean by inquiry or investigation?" Yang Yun asked, "Investigate what?"
"Hello, Mrs. He." The young policeman took out his ID and said, "We are the investigation team responsible for the premeditated murder case in Chengyang Square. We are here to question Jiang Chen and He Qianjian."
Yang Yun was puzzled: "Then why do you want to find Qian Jian?"
"We found that He Qianjian appeared in Lide Building the day before Jiang Chen's accident. We found some problems through the surveillance video, so we came here to investigate."
Mr. He glanced at He Qianjian, then his eyes fell on the young policeman, and his tone was obscure: "You mean to say that you suspect Qianjian is related to the suspect behind the murder of Jiang Chen?"
"This..." The young policeman was sweating profusely when he was looked at by Mr. He, and he stammered and was unable to speak for a while.
The bearded man said calmly, "Mr. He, we are here to get to the bottom of the case as soon as possible. We have not confirmed that He Qianjian is a suspect. This is just a routine investigation. I hope you can cooperate."
The atmosphere froze for a moment, just when Yu Fei thought that Mr. He would not agree. Mr. He half-lifted his eyelids and said, "Ask, ask right here."
The young policeman glanced at the bearded man and hesitated.
"Okay." The bearded man looked at Jiang Chen, sat down in front of him and said, "Student Jiang Chen, as far as I know, although you and He Qianjian are not in the same school, you are also competitors. May I ask if there has been any friction between you?"
Jiang Chen: "There was no direct friction."
"Then can I understand that you have friction that is not direct contact?"
"Jiang Chen and I have only met a few times, how could there be any friction?" He Qianjian suppressed his pounding heart and smiled calmly, "Mr. Policeman, you are looking in the wrong direction."
"I'm asking Jiang Chen now." The bearded man said expressionlessly, "Please wait until I ask you something before you speak."
He Qianjian gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "But..."
He Qianmin interrupted him coldly: "My brother hasn't even spoken yet, why are you rushing to explain yourself? Are you guilty?"
Old Madam He patted He Qianjian's hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid of things we haven't done before. It's okay. Grandma is here."
The bearded man retracted his gaze, looked at Jiang Chen again, and repeated the question he had just asked.
Jiang Chen's smile faded a little, and he said lightly, "Yes."
