Guan Feng asked, and Director Zhang answered.
Some more intuitive details also came to Guan Feng's mind.
In these details, Schulmer is described as a meticulous, serious, and even somewhat harsh middle-aged man who usually speaks with a stern face, making it difficult for many people to feel close to him.
However, judging from his work, the problems he identified did indeed exist.
Adding to the incident at the CEO's office, everyone was finally convinced.
There is no possibility that the work dispute was a result of personal grudges.
Guan Feng asked, "Does Schulmer compete with anyone at work?"
Manager Zhang shook his head and said, "How could that be? We are a Sino-German joint venture. There are only a few senior executives on the German side, so there is no competition. Basically, they are promoted after three years or transferred back. So it is unlikely that there would be such a conflict in terms of work."
Guan Feng said, "Okay, is all his information here? Let us take a look, and we'll ask you if we have any questions."
Manager Zhang said, "The documents are all here; take your time to look at them."
Guan Feng looked at Schulmo's file.
These original documents posed no difficulty for him.
Guan Feng spent a few minutes sorting through the information, then asked, "Why didn't Shulmo's family come with him? It says here that Shulmo has been working in Hua'an for a year and a half. According to the standard requirements for foreign personnel, his wife and children should be allowed to come, right?"
Manager Zhang said, "Schulmo didn't make that choice. Maybe he felt it wasn't necessary? That's a personal matter, and we won't interfere."
Guan Feng nodded and asked, "Has Schulmer's family been notified?"
Manager Zhang said, "The president's office has already notified them, and my family is making preparations to come."
Guan Feng asked, "Does anyone know anything about Schulmer's family relationships? For example, their marital relationship? Is their dynamic normal?"
Manager Zhang said, "Then it's probably just those few German executives."
Guan Feng asked, "Who's the easier one to talk to here?"
Manager Zhang said, "Richard, the German manager in the finance department, has a bit of a French rooster personality. Although he is arrogant, he will be very easygoing if he likes you. If you ask him any questions, he will cooperate with you."
Guan Feng stood up and said, "Thank you for your honesty."
Manager Zhang shook his head and said, "This is all as it should be, but I don't know how to win his favor."
Guan Feng said, "We will handle these things ourselves."
He shook hands with Manager Zhang to say goodbye, and then followed Manager Zhang's instructions to go to the finance department's office.
......
Knock knock knock!
Guan Feng knocked on the office door.
"Please come in!"
A slightly accented Mandarin Chinese voice rang out.
Guan Feng pushed open the door and walked in. The other person looked somewhat surprised and asked, "Who are you?"
Remembering Director Zhang's suggestion, Guan Feng tried his best to introduce himself in fluent German, and said, "We've come to ask you some questions. Is this convenient for you?"
Richard, who looked like an old man, didn't answer the question. Instead, he looked Guan Feng up and down and said in surprise, "You've lived in Germany? You must have! Otherwise, you couldn't possibly speak such fluent German, and not just for a year or two, but for at least many years. Am I right?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "I learned German on my own by referring to books and audio recordings."
"Self-taught?"
The old man's eyes widened, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "How is that possible? You must be joking! Self-taught to this extent? You must be kidding!"
Guan Feng said, "It's the truth! I have no reason to hide this kind of thing, and besides, it's not easy to hide such a thing, is it? Whether I went abroad or not, you can find out by asking our colleagues, right? But if I'm not lying, please answer some of our questions."
The old man looked Guan Feng up and down carefully and said, "I agree to your request."
He looked at Huang Lili and asked in broken Mandarin, "Hello! Has your colleague ever been to Germany?"
Listening to the broken Mandarin spoken by Huang Lili, she laughed and said, "No! Our captain has never been abroad."
Richard looked at Guan Feng in disbelief and said, "How could this be? How did you do that? Is our language so easy to learn?"
Guan Feng explained, "Mr. Richard, I will discuss this matter with you properly after the investigation is completed. Actually, there are techniques for learning any language, and it's not difficult once you master it. But now that a murder has occurred, we must solve the case as soon as possible, is that alright?"
Upon hearing the word "case," Richard immediately wore a sorrowful expression and said, "Schumer's death is a tragic event."
Guan Feng asked, "Mr. Richard, what is your personal relationship with Schulmer like?"
Richard said, "Schummer? He's rather serious and doesn't get along well with most people, except for me." As he said this, the sadness on Richard's face became even more difficult to conceal.
He said, "Have you found any clues? How exactly did Schulmer die?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "We just took over the case and don't know the specifics yet, but please rest assured that we will inform your company once the suspect is caught."
Richard sighed and said, "Your country has always had the best public security. I've told my friends back home many times that you can go out safely here even at midnight. How could such a thing happen? It's unbelievable!"
Guan Feng explained, "We do not wish for such a thing to happen, but please do not lose faith in the security environment of China. According to our preliminary investigation, there is a high probability that this case is a revenge killing."
