In the office.
A look of hesitation crossed Richard's face.
Perhaps it was Guan Feng's fluent and authentic German that made him feel favorably toward him, or perhaps it was Guan Feng's tall and righteous appearance that made him trust him.
In short, after a brief internal struggle, the proud and conservative old man sighed and said, "You must keep these things to yourself. I don't want the Shulmo people to die and still be embroiled in some trouble."
Guan Feng said, "Of course! We will definitely keep this a secret. Any information leaked from our channels will be thoroughly investigated. I assure you of that."
Richard said earnestly, "I believe in you, and I hope you won't let me down."
"certainly!"
Guan Feng gave an affirmative answer.
Richard said, "Schumer's family relationships were not very harmonious. In fact, he had a very good future in Germany, but he asked to be 'exiled' to China in order to escape his crazy wife."
Guan Feng asked in surprise, "A wife who's like a lunatic?"
Richard said, "Guan! You haven't met his wife, so you might think I'm exaggerating, but in reality, his wife is truly unreasonable and prone to intermittent hysteria, as anyone who knows Schulmer knows."
Guan Feng asked, "Is that possible?"
Richard said, "But his wife is far away in Germany. Even if there are conflicts, they wouldn't have time, would they?"
Guan Feng said, "A crime of passion is a crime with a specific motive. Broadly speaking, it refers to a murder committed because of feelings, which could be committed by a wife or a lover."
Richard nodded and said, "You're right! But I'm not sure about that."
Guan Feng looked into Richard's eyes and asked, "Does Schulmo have a girlfriend in China?"
Richard's eyes darted away almost instinctively.
Guan Feng said seriously, "Mr. Richard, let me guess, a middle-aged man who came to China to escape his wife should have that kind of physical need, right? If his wife is unreasonable, then he will also have emotional needs. And since these needs are not met, it is normal for him to seek some stimulation outside, right?"
Richard sighed and said, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes! Schulmer does indeed have a lover in the country."
Guan Feng asked, "Who is the other party?"
Richard shook his head and said, "There's absolutely no way she could have killed Schulmer."
Guan Feng said, "Our police work emphasizes evidence. We will not let any innocent person go unpunished, nor will we let any guilty person slip through our fingers. So please rest assured that we will not question the parties involved without absolute certainty, and even if we do, we will ensure confidentiality."
Richard said, "Okay, then I'll tell you, she's a colleague in his finance department, and her Chinese name should be Chen Qingya."
Guan Feng noted down the name and said, "Please rest assured, even if we investigate, we will try to do so indirectly and without revealing the true relationship between the two, so as not to negatively impact Schulmo's reputation."
Richard repeatedly grasped Guan Feng's hand and said, "Thank you! Thank you for your understanding."
Guan Feng asked, "Are there any other possibilities?"
Richard shook his head and said, "No! If there's a personal grudge, it's probably this."
Guan Feng asked, "Mr. Richard, I would like to ask another question about Mr. Schulmer's sexual orientation. Of course! Please rest assured, I have no intention of being prejudiced. I respect everyone's freedom, provided that it does not cause trouble for other people's lives."
Richard asked in surprise, "Why would you ask that?"
Guan Feng said, "The existing evidence forces us to make this conjecture."
Richard said, "I can guarantee that! Schulmer's sexual orientation is normal, and he has a child living in Germany. How could he have a child if he weren't normal?"
Guan Feng said, "We are just asking routinely, and it doesn't necessarily mean we're confirming anything."
Richard said, "I don't know what evidence you have, but the truth is not what you're speculating about."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Okay! Let's move on from this topic. Do you know anything else?"
Richard said, "Is it possible that it's for money?"
Guan Feng asked, "Does Schulmer have a lot of cash at home?"
Richard said, "No, that's not it! But Schulmer likes to go to bars for beer, usually three or four times a week. In that case, isn't it common for him to be targeted by some people?"
Guan Feng asked, "Which bar does he frequent?"
Richard said, "It should be that bar near the company, Blue Sky?"
Guan Feng turned to Huang Lili and said, "Can you check if there's a Blue Sky bar nearby?"
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
Guan Feng turned his head and asked again, "Mr. Richard, please continue."
Richard said, "Schummer's life is very simple. He lives either at the company or in his dorm. The only exception is that he likes to go to bars to listen to music and drink beer. Sometimes we go with him."
"But we're all old men, we can't compare to him in attracting girls' attention."
Guan Feng asked, "Will there be any romantic encounters?"
Richard smiled faintly and said, "Of course! I saw it once; Schulmo was leading a girl in her early twenties back to his villa."
Guan Feng recorded this important clue.
He asked, "How long has this been going on?"
Richard said, "Schummer likes to drink beer, which he did back in Germany. However, he started going to bars after coming to China. He didn't go very often before, but he's been going quite a lot lately. Maybe his wife is putting pressure on him again. You can ask Victor in the president's office for more details. The two of them go there quite often."
Upon hearing this, Guan Feng said, "Victor? Okay, we'll look into it."
