Chapter 43 Why is she going there?
"Has your been to the provincial capital half a month ago?" Ji Feng continued to ask after returning to the interrogation room.
"No."
"Where were you at the time?"
"At home." Bo Qianqian answered without hesitation.
"Who can testify?"
"I live alone and have no one to testify."
"Would you mind telling me about your family's situation?" Ji Feng asked tentatively.
"inconvenient."
"This woman's language seems to be intentionally brief, which is consistent with the female boss's strong anti-reconnaissance ability." Ji Feng thought secretly.
"You just said that you used to be a doctor. What do you mean by 'used to'? Which hospital did you work for?"
"It was a private hospital in the south, but it later closed down, so it was once."
"Which hospital in the south?"
"Shankang Cardiovascular Hospital, Quanpu City, Fujian Province."
"How can you prove that you worked there?"
"If it can't be proven, it would have gone bankrupt long ago."
"Please tell me about your marital status." Ji Feng changed his tone to a demanding one this time, because this question was obviously more important.
"Never married."
"Have you always been single?" Facing a woman, Ji Feng couldn't ask too directly, so he could only ask in a tactful way.
"Yes."
"What is your current occupation?"
"Unemployed."
"Unemployed? Then why are you so generous that you paid double the deposit to the taxi company at once?" Ji Feng used a little trick to ask questions.
"I don't understand what you mean?" Bo Qianqian's expression was indifferent, and it was unclear whether she really didn't understand or had seen through Ji Feng's little trick.
"Since you are unemployed, how do you make a living?"
"I saved it up before."
"Saved? It seems you had a good income at that hospital in the south."
Bo Xixi had a blank expression on her face and did not answer the question. Obviously, she thought the question had nothing to do with the case and was a matter of personal privacy.
"Knock knock knock" someone is knocking on the door.
Ji Feng opened the door and Xin Xiao was standing outside, motioning him to come outside to talk.
Ji Feng turned his head to glance at Bo Qianqian, closed the door and followed Xin Xiao to the corner.
"It's all in vain." Xin Xiao sighed. "The rental company said the salesperson who received this customer has resigned and can't be contacted. Xiangdong is on a business trip and won't be back for several days. Do you still want to hear the legal department's response?"
Ji Feng understood instantly, nodded silently, and said, "Contact the First Hospital, ask about Aunt Zhou's condition, and verify whether Bo Qianqian's statement that she went to the hospital in the car is true." After that, he returned to the interrogation room without looking back.
"Officer, if you have any further questions, please hurry up. It's too late and the mall is about to close."
"Sorry to have taken up your time. I have a few small questions." Ji Feng said.
"Have you ever had plastic surgery?"
"No."
"Are you ready to do it?"
"No."
"Do you know Shen Zhaoran?" Ji Feng suddenly asked this question, trying to catch her off guard.
This question really touched her. A subtle change flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, "I don't know him."
"Are you sure?" Ji Feng pressed further.
"Sure." Still cold and brief.
"Where's Lu Chenzhou?"
Her shoulders trembled noticeably, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "I don't know him."
"Finally, please take a look at this video. Do you know this lady?" Ji Feng said, turning on the computer, finding the video shot by the exhibition surveillance, and pointing at the thin woman who was tightly covered and asked.
Bo Qianqian glanced at the screen and replied, "I don't know him."
"Ms. Bo, I need to remind you that you are responsible for your answers above. If you conceal anything or make false statements, we will pursue legal action."
"I understand." Bo Qianqian's tone remained unchanged.
Ji Feng looked at her, his doubts still lingering in his heart, but he was speechless.
"Officer, can I go now?"
Ji Feng nodded slightly, indicating that she could leave.
Bo Qianqian stood up, a subtle look of contempt flashing in the corner of her eyes, and turned to walk out the door.
"Ms. Bo." Ji Feng suddenly called her.
"Captain Ji, do you have any other questions?" Bo Qianqian seemed to be startled by Ji Feng's shout. She stopped and looked back at him coldly.
"Did you send a text message to Officer Liang's cell phone today?"
"Which Officer Liang?" He looked calm.
Ji Feng slowly walked up to Bo Qianqian, his eyes sharp: "You called me Captain Ji just now? How did you know I was the captain?" Ji Feng clearly remembered that when he was talking to Xin Xiao about Jiang Bo's strengths in English and basketball in the car coming from the hospital, he mentioned "Captain Jiang". Although she had a nonchalant expression at the time, she should not have heard it.
Bo Qianqian was slightly startled, then said calmly, "You showed me your ID at the hospital."
"Ms. Bo, does my ID say I'm a captain?" Ji Feng knew his ID was the same one he had at the Police Academy. He was the only associate professor there with a police ID. Since he was only working in Lan Valley for a short time, he hadn't changed it.
"I didn't see clearly. Your last name is Ji, and this is the Criminal Investigation Team, so I'll address you as Captain. Is that okay?"
"A respectful title?" Ji Feng asked Bo Qianqian aggressively.
"Yes, it's a respectful title." Bo Qianqian replied calmly.
"Why did you keep calling me 'police officer' before?" Ji Feng continued to stare at Bo Qianqian and asked.
"It's nothing. Is it not okay?" She seemed a little flustered.
"Of course." Her answer was impeccable. Ji Feng's gaze gradually shifted away from Bo Qianqian's.
"Before you leave, I want to confirm again, are you sure you don't know Shen Zhaoran and Lu Chenzhou?" Ji Feng knew that this question was boring, but he still didn't give up.
Bo Qianqian took a deep breath, her eyes both determined and hesitant, a complex expression crossing her face: "I don't know her."
Ji Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, you can go now, thank you for your cooperation."
She turned and left, and the moment the door closed, Ji Feng's gaze suddenly sank into a deep pool, deep and unfathomable.
Disappointment flooded his heart like a tide. He lit an e-cigarette, stood in front of the window, and repeatedly pondered Bo Qianqian's flaws.
In his heart, he had already determined that Bo Qianqian was Sheng Dongqian, and was very likely the female boss, although she denied it one by one.
Perhaps, it was precisely that spotless resume that exposed the caution and meticulousness that was inherited from the female boss of the exhibition.
He vaguely sensed that she was deliberately hiding something, but every doubt he had ran into an ice-cold wall of iron, which was impenetrable, leaving him helpless.
Is it truly flawless? No. Can a single woman in her late 40s truly have a spotless past? Can a fleeting work history guarantee a life of ease and comfort?
Impossible, either it's not that simple, or they must be living in financial difficulty.
She must be deliberately hiding something! Thinking of this, Ji Feng already had a plan for the next step.
As the stars shift and the moon rotates, all things maintain their inherent balance amidst this cycle. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter cycle like a musical melody, flowers bloom and fade, each in its own time. Light and shadow intertwine, life and death intertwine in a tranquil and harmonious landscape. Flowers bloom in spring, fruits ripen in autumn, and each cycle is balanced and balanced.
These seemingly ordinary phenomena conceal the laws of the universe's rotation and balance, revealing the unfathomable yet inevitable harmony of nature. All things in the world are pursuing that subtle yet eternal balance.
A piece of good news, neither big nor small, came unexpectedly in confirming the law of balance of all things in the world.
Jiang Bo's extensive connections were still paying off. Near noon, the traffic police called. They had retrieved the Audi's driving history from the previous month and discovered that it had visited an abandoned factory in Aojiaowei around 1:00 a.m. on the 20th of the previous month. Video footage showed the car entering the abandoned factory and then slowly exiting about 20 minutes later, disappearing from the surveillance camera's blind spot.
The traffic police continued to search and piece together the vehicle's driving trajectory and discovered that the vehicle's destination was Qijiagou Community.
"Perhaps, this is the secret hidden behind Bo Qianqian." As soon as this message appeared, Ji Feng subconsciously popped up this thought in his mind.
Without further ado, Ji Feng immediately called Xin Xiao to rush to the abandoned factory while notifying the local police station.
The factory is located in an industrial park in Aojiaowei. Due to environmental issues, the industrial park is in a semi-closed state. Less than one-tenth of the enterprises in the entire park are operating normally, and it looks desolate.
When they arrived at the long-abandoned factory, the midday sun scorched the silent courtyard, leaving a desolate scene. The rusted iron gate stood ajar, creaking in the wind, as if whispering the vicissitudes of time and the chill of time.
Xiao Liang, a patrol officer from the local police station, had been scouring the courtyard on his own. Seeing Ji Feng and the others, he quickly stepped forward, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he explained the situation. "This place has been abandoned for at least seven or eight years. I took a quick look around and didn't see any signs of anyone having been in or out recently."
Led by Xiao Liang, Ji Feng and Xin Xiao's footsteps creaked across gravel and dead branches, making a gentle crunch. The factory interior resembled a maze abandoned by time. Old, dilapidated machines lay tumbled and stacked in corners, like silent, steel behemoths. Dust drifted slowly in the slanting light, and the air was thick with a scent of dampness and decay. The few faded characters still etched on the wall seemed to speak of past memories.
The machinery, equipment, raw materials, office furniture and other sundries piled up everywhere in the yard and workshop brought great inconvenience to their investigation.
The three of them split up and carefully searched for any signs of fresh disturbance. They checked every scrap of debris piled in corners, the mottled and peeling walls, the greasy and dirty floors, the overgrown courtyards, and the cobweb-covered, dusty offices, fearing they might have missed anything.
However, apart from a few panicked mice and scattered objects on the ground, in the end, nothing was found, only devastation and a slight sense of loss in the heart.
Xiao Liang sighed softly. "I contacted the landlord before coming here, but he's out of town. He said the tenant was quite influential. He signed a ten-year contract, paid the rent for ten years in one lump sum, and then disappeared. The lease is almost up, and I can't contact him. He still owes a small amount of utilities and property management fees, but other than that, there's not much useful information."
Not to mention a woman, even an adult man would be terrified if he drove to this abandoned factory in the middle of the night, which had been abandoned for a long time and where unknown creatures emerged from time to time.
What should I do? Should I ask Bo Xixi again? It's probably pointless! She'll definitely say she wasn't driving. Even if she admits, she'll have countless excuses that leave everyone speechless: lost, misguided by the navigation, or even just seeking excitement...
When confronting such an opponent, one must be extremely cautious. Any slight mistake will be exploited by her, making all previous efforts meaningless.
"Contact the landlord again. It would be best if you could find the lease contract, a copy or a photo would be fine." He knew that even seemingly insignificant clues could be the key to uncovering the truth.
