Squeak!
The door to the presidential suite was closed.
Li Xiangdong and Huang Lili both stared wide-eyed at Guan Feng.
Li Xiangdong asked, "Captain Guan, when did you meet Zhao Xiaogu?"
Guan Feng shook his head and explained, "When did we meet? Don't talk nonsense, we're just ordinary friends."
Li Xiangdong curled his lip in disbelief: "Friends? Captain Guan, you just called her 'Sister Xiaogu.' Would ordinary friends call each other 'Sister Xiaogu'?"
Huang Lili blinked her big, bright eyes and asked curiously, "Yes, Captain Guan, and you have his number. He's a big star, his social media is full of friends, how could he just give his number to an ordinary person? You must have a very close relationship with him."
Guan Feng wanted to tell the others the truth.
But if Li Xiangdong, that big slapstick, were to tell the other party that the two not only knew each other but also addressed each other as brother and sister, and that he had even had dinner together in the other party's room, maybe half of the Hongcheng Bureau would know by tomorrow.
How am I supposed to work then?
He could only pretend to sigh and explain, "This is a sad thing, and I didn't originally intend to tell everyone. But since you two asked, I'll just tell you about it. After that, please forget about it and don't mention it to anyone else."
Li Xiangdong and Huang Lili became even more curious.
"Don't worry, Captain, we definitely won't tell."
"Yes, we definitely won't tell!"
Guan Feng explained, “Actually, you only know that Zhao Xiaogu is a celebrity from Hongcheng, but you don’t know that her mother was also one of the victims of that murder case on a rainy night twenty years ago. My father died in the line of duty at that time, and we were the same age, so we were kindred spirits. We have kept in touch occasionally over the years and supported each other. We are not siblings, but we are closer than siblings.”
Both of their expressions changed.
Everyone had heard that Captain Guan's father died in the line of duty on the eve of solving the case.
But Zhao Xiaogu's mother also died because of this?
Not many people actually know this.
Huang Lili sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Guan, I shouldn't have asked. I really didn't know about this."
Li Xiangdong also apologized, saying, "Captain, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have asked."
Guan Feng waved his hand and reminded me, "These things are alright for me. After all, my father is a police officer, and he has put life and death aside since the day he became a police officer."
"Although he died in the line of duty, he left his child with a lifetime of pride and a role model. However, Zhao Xiaogu has been having a hard time accepting this. I suspect that her sleep problems are also due to this matter. So you should keep this in mind and not mention it again, and especially not tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, Captain Guan!"
"We know what's important, Captain!"
Li Xiangdong and Huang Lili both quickly made their promises.
Guan Feng nodded and led the two to the adjacent Presidential Suite No. 2.
Knock knock knock!
Huang Lili knocked on the door.
Li Yifeng's assistant opened the door: "Who are you?"
Huang Lili showed her identification and briefly introduced herself: "We are from the Criminal Investigation Team, investigating the missing diamond case. We need Li Yifeng to give a statement. Please cooperate."
Li Yifeng's assistant said impatiently, "Investigating the missing diamond? What does that have to do with our Fengfeng? You don't think our Fengfeng would steal that diamond, do you? Have you any common sense? Would he need to steal his annual income?"
Huang Lili said seriously, "We police investigate cases based on evidence, not speculation. Please cooperate with the investigation!"
Li Yifeng's assistant glanced around the room, then waved his hand and said, "Brother Feng is busy right now and doesn't have time. You can come back later."
Guan Feng frowned and walked up to him, asking, "Can your words represent Li Yifeng?"
When Guan Feng suddenly questioned Li Yifeng, Li Yifeng's assistant retorted, "I'm Li Yifeng's assistant, why can't I make decisions for him?"
Guan Feng said, "Okay! As long as you can make the decision! Originally, we considered that Li Yifeng is a celebrity and it was not appropriate for him to come to the police station in public, so we came to take his statement in person. But since you are not available now, we will go back and apply for an investigation warrant and ask Li Yifeng to come to our Hongcheng Police Station to assist in the investigation."
"As for the consequences, or whether the media will make unfounded accusations, you and Li Yifeng behind you will have to bear the responsibility!"
He could be understanding towards Zhao Xiaogu.
That's because the other party is the image ambassador of Hongcheng and has contributed a lot to the development of their hometown.
But Li Yifeng?
Guan Feng knew perfectly well what had happened to the other person in his previous life.
Therefore, giving some special treatment is acceptable, but is it possible to completely specialize or even place oneself above the case?
That's absolutely impossible!
Li Yifeng's assistant was immediately stunned: "We're going to split up with your bureau? How can that be? Li Yifeng is a celebrity. Do you know how big of a storm this will cause if word gets out? No way! Absolutely not!"
Guan Feng said coldly and seriously, "No? We've already considered minimizing the impact and came to your room specifically to take your statement, but you're making excuses and even asking me how much trouble this will cause? Are you treating a criminal case like a joke? Xiang Dong, show him the body camera!"
Li Xiangdong then revealed the body camera on his shoulder.
Li Yifeng's assistant's expression immediately changed.
He looked at the group and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry! You guys wait a minute, I'll go back and ask Brother Feng."
Li Xiangdong snorted, "Didn't you just say you could represent Li Yifeng?"
Li Yifeng's assistant looked even more embarrassed.
He apologized to the group repeatedly before quickly going into the room.
A moment later.
The handsome Li Yifeng walked out.
He apologized to the group in a friendly manner, saying, "Awei was being irresponsible. I apologize to you all on his behalf. Would you like something to drink? A beverage? Coffee? Or tea?"
