When Yi Jiayi brought Xu Shaowei to Zhao Dongsheng's company, Uncle Jiu and Liu Jiaming were already there.

When the two saw her bringing Xu Shaowei, they both stopped being close teammates and cooperated with her with a respectful attitude. Jiayi called her "Eleventh Sister".

Jiayi knew that they were both afraid that Xu Shaowei would not respect her enough, so they were helping her to establish her authority.

With a warm heart, Jiayi listened to Uncle Jiu and Liu Jiaming's questions and took notes. After Uncle Jiu and the others left, she took Xu Shaowei for a second round of questioning, and the questions were more targeted at Zhao Dongsheng's competitors.

Soon, they got some clues.

For example, Zhao Dongsheng was the absolute controller of this company. As the chairman, he had tremendous power and authority. At least no one in the company could be his opponent. The vice presidents would not be stupid enough to compete with the boss for power, especially since Chairman Zhao was a person with a strong desire for control.

Another piece of information was that Zhao Dongsheng was competing with a leather business for a piece of land on the Clearwater Bay Peninsula. Both chairmen were optimistic about the value of the Clearwater Bay Peninsula as a new high-end community, and were going to buy it, plan and build it, and then sell it to the emerging wealthy people in Hong Kong who failed to buy a villa in the old district of the mountain and had a lot of money to spend.

The boss of the leather business was Zhou Xinhui, 39 years old, who had experience in gangs before, and later cleaned up his name to do legitimate business. After accumulating a sum of money, he wanted to get involved in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, which was said to be very profitable.

According to Zhao Dongsheng's subordinates, Zhou Xinhui is a rude, domineering and violent bastard.

Jiayi ticked the question on the notebook, asked a few more questions, some of which were genuine concerns, and some were just smoke bombs, before leaving with Xu Shaowei. Before

taking the Dingdang car, Jiayi turned around and asked Xu Shaowei, "In addition to Zhou Xinhui, Zhao Dongsheng has another competitor. Do you know who it is?"

Xu Shaowei was stunned. He was thinking about Zhou Xinhui's situation and wondering how he would arrange to kill Zhao Dongsheng if he were Zhou Xinhui.

Jiayi suddenly asked him a question, and he was stunned for a long time before shaking his head:

"Who else?"

When questioning, Zhou Xinhui was the only competitor tomorrow? How could there be someone else?

"Think about it." Jiayi prompted, "Competition between men."

"Zhao Dongsheng has people who grew up with him, and they are very competitive. Others are not convinced. We grew up together, so how can you succeed?" Xu Shaowei frowned again. When he was taking notes just now, there was no such information. What

kind of competition is there between men ?

Jiayi turned around and raised her eyebrows to look at Xu Shaowei. She didn't know if this man was a straight man, or if he only had competitiveness and cases in his heart, and no romance.

She had already reminded him to this extent, but he actually said something like 'Tiezhu is still a farmer, how can Goudan be the boss'...

"And director Zhang Jing, who is also pursuing the new actress Gu Xiaolan like Zhao Dongsheng, are they not competitors for the love of a lady?" Jiayi glanced at the Dingdang car that had already approached, and when Xu Shaowei politely let her get on first, she stepped onto the stairs holding the handrail and sat down by the window on the first floor.

Xu Shaowei followed her on the car, looked at the seat next to her, hesitated for a moment, and still sat behind her.

Jiayi inexplicably felt uncomfortable in her heart. There was clearly an empty seat next to her, but this guy wanted to sit behind her.

It felt strange to be stared at from behind, especially when he sat behind her, or after he decided not to sit next to her.

Was it because she was worried that her youthful appearance would not be valued, so she tried to maintain a serious and professional attitude, which made him dislike her or made him reject or rebel?

It was a little chilly in Hong Kong, and sometimes there were plants growing out of high-rise buildings outside the window, most of which were still lush and green. The weather has warmed up

in the past two days, and pretty girls wearing short skirts appeared on the street again. So sweaters and T-shirts coexisted, and the styles of various outfits were very different, as if showing the inclusiveness of this city.

Xu Shaowei suddenly leaned behind her ear and whispered, "So are we going to question Director Zhang Jing now?"

When Xu Shaowei approached the back of her head and suddenly spoke, Jiayi felt her back tighten and a creepy feeling.

The feeling of being approached from behind by someone she was not so familiar with and speaking in a low voice was really terrible.

She frowned slightly, leaned forward, and after keeping a distance from Xu Shaowei, she turned around and tried to speak in a gentle and negotiating tone, "Why don't you sit next to me?"

Xu Shaowei met her gentle gaze, hesitated for a while, then nodded, stood up, and walked around her. During the process, he unconsciously touched the gun on his waist, sniffed, and then sat down.

But his sitting posture was very stiff, with his legs together, his hands flat on his thighs, and his face forward, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

Jiayi's previous uncomfortable feeling faded away, and she was replaced by a dilemma.

What?

Did he come out of a Buddhist temple? The way he avoided suspicion made her seem like a female demon.

She was working in a team with him, and all she had in her mind were clues and how to lead the team and be a good leader. Why did he react like this?

How could there be a policeman like him in Hong Kong? Did someone admonish him when he was working in a team with her? Told her to keep a distance from the female superior and not to offend the female superior?

Shake your head.

"Director Zhang Jing, Uncle Jiu and the others will check when they check Zhao Dongsheng's ambiguous object, actress Gu Xiaolan. We can wait for them to finish the first round of investigation, and then make follow-up considerations based on the information they provide. This can avoid duplication of work and improve efficiency."

Jiayi retracted her gaze and made sure that there were no other guests in front, behind, or around her before explaining to him in a low voice:

"So we are going to Xinhui Leather Company to meet Chairman Zhou Xinhui. When we get there, don't interrupt the whole time, just follow me with a stern face. Do you understand?"

"Why?" Xu Shaowei finally turned his head and looked at her, frowning slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied that she did not allow him to speak, as if he was unhappy that she looked down on him.

"Because I have my own rhythm of questioning, there may be coherence between multiple questions. For example, when I ask the first question, it is not because I want to know the answer to the first question, but just to appear natural and not so deliberate when asking the second question, so as to make the person being questioned relax their vigilance.

"Also, when I ask questions, I will use some tricks to influence the emotions of the person being questioned. If you interrupt my questions, my method may fail.

"If I don't communicate with you now, without your knowledge, you may think that I am wasting time by asking irrelevant questions. As a detective, you are impatient and don't understand, which may also cause resistance in the person being questioned.

"OK?"

As Jiayi explained, she experienced the pain of leading newcomers.

It turns out that conflicts between superiors and subordinates are inherent. Not only do subordinates have to be careful in dealing with their superiors, but superiors also have to pay attention to their attitudes at all times to avoid causing misunderstandings among subordinates and undermining their enthusiasm and self-confidence.

When Jiayi was a student, she always thought it was great to be a teacher and leader, and she could do whatever she wanted.

After entering the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, she followed Sister Yan to learn, and later joined Team B. She always had to read other people's faces and listen to other people's instructions. She also envied the exhilaration of being a leader and giving orders.

Now I know that leadership does not mean doing whatever you want and giving orders.

Thinking back to when the two leaders, Sister Yin and Brother Yue, taught her things, they also made her feel respected and recognized. Not only did she not feel unhappy about being suppressed or ordered around, but she also felt cared for and valued every day. She was so lucky.

In just a few months, she met good superiors.

However, compared to Xu Shaowei, Jiayi thinks she is still a little more obedient.

I don’t know if it’s because Hong Kong people grew up in a maritime culture, like pirates, they have a casual and unrestrained factor in their bones. And the soul in her flesh belongs to the mainland a few decades later, and she has been immersed in the exam-oriented education for more than ten years since she was a child. Is it easier for her to obey and accept?

After listening to Jiayi's explanation, Xu Shaowei finally nodded and whispered, "Yes, madam." Jiayi

breathed a sigh of relief. The Dingdang car was shaking, making the little policewoman who stayed up late last night feel sleepy. Fortunately, the destination was not far away, and she arrived when she was about to fall asleep.

As soon as the car stopped, Xu Shaowei stood up, but after walking to the aisle, he did not rush to get off the car, but took a step back to let Jiayi go first.

I don't know if it was lady first or a sign of respect for her superiors. Jiayi got off the car quickly and looked back, and her height just happened to match Xu Shaowei's feet. Jiayi

found that his pigeon toes were not symmetrical. His right foot was pigeon-toed, while his left foot was straight forward. It turned out that it was a bit inaccurate to say that he pigeon-toes were pigeon-toed. He only pigeon-toes halfway.

After walking through the streets and alleys and entering the office building, Jiayi turned around and confirmed with Xu Shaowei again. The other party said that he would definitely follow orders, and Jiayi took him in.

Imitating Yue Ge's appearance, she had a stern face, and formed a two-member evil star combination with Xu Shaowei's ferocious expression.

After looking at their ID cards, the pretty girl at the front desk did not dare to stop them. She invited them to the lounge first and poured them tea before going to announce.

Jiayi and the other person waited for three or four minutes before the pretty girl at the front desk came back and respectfully welcomed them into the chairman's office on the top floor.

Zhou Xinhui knew how to enjoy himself. The office was very large, and there was still a lot of space behind the big desk. He sat on the office chair and turned around to see the large floor-to-ceiling window. Looking down was the small fountain garden in front of the office building, with a good view.

The positions in front and back of the big office seemed to be specially designed. Boss Zhou's chair was very high, while the two chairs for the guests were very low.

There was a dark, heavy solid wood desk between the two sides, creating a situation where Boss Zhou was looking down on them.

When Jiayi sat down, she found that she had to look up across the big desk to see Boss Zhou. Not only did she feel very small, but she also felt that Boss Zhou was very far away, very tall, and very mysterious.

This was probably the most subtle trick in the "business emperor's art", right? Through the details of "terrain", "seats", and some decorations, a subtle sense of pressure was given to the visiting guests and subordinates who came to make reports.

It made the visitors unconsciously in awe of the owner of this office.

After Jiayi vaguely realized all this, she sat up straight without making a sound, and raised her head slightly to fight against the atmosphere created by this office. When she was talking to her boss Zhou, she tried to keep her eyes and expressions calm, and frowned slightly to create a proper sense of majesty.

You have a plan, and I have a ladder.

She also learned the art of psychological pressure in the police interrogation course!

After Jiayi and Xu Shaowei sat opposite Zhou Xinhui, Zhou Xinhui behaved very humblely, in a philistine way.

He stood up and shook hands with Jiayi and Xu Shaowei, and behaved very cordially and cooperatively.

But when Jiayi asked questions, although he smiled and answered every question, he always talked about other things.

This is a veteran who knows how to do Tai Chi. You can't blame him, but don't expect to get anything out of him easily.

Jiayi, based on the interrogation techniques she learned, kept thinking back to what Brother Yue had said about how to deal with someone who appears to be actively cooperating but is actually cunningly playing tricks on you. Although she felt that this person was difficult to deal with, she still calmly checked each problem one by one.

"When was the last time you saw Zhao Dongsheng?" Jiayi asked.

"About half a month ago, my friends in the circle got together and we sat down to have a meal. My friend wanted to help me persuade him to give up the land on Clear Water Bay Peninsula, but he was so unwilling to give me face. However, I am the most friendly person. A gentleman does not take away what others love. Since he was so persistent, as if he could not live without that piece of land, I gave it to him." Zhou Xinhui spread his hands and laughed:

"I am in the leather business, and I can just go with the flow when it comes to real estate. If I come across a suitable piece of land, I will buy it, build a building, and make some contribution to the construction of Hong Kong. If it is not suitable, it is no big deal to wait for the next time. Don't you agree, madam?"

"May I ask which is the largest project of Xinhui Leather recently?" Jiayi suddenly changed the subject.

Zhou Xinhui had prepared to answer whatever the two police officers asked him, but he never expected that they would suddenly ask about his company's business.

As the chairman, he had never been asked about his business from top to bottom. He was stunned for a few seconds before smiling:

"I am planning to open a leather furniture store in Mong Kok recently, and I am looking for a site. Madam, I have to tell you that I am a very ambitious person. I always think that all the leather business in Hong Kong will belong to me in the future. If the leather coat you wear, the leather shoes you step on, the leather sofa you sit on, and the leather bag you carry are all made in my factory, I will be satisfied."

"You already have a small shoe mall in Mong Kok. Opening a leather furniture mall is just a small project for you. With your current financial situation, this leather furniture mall can only be regarded as a casual job. You have to consider investing a lot of money. You have said in various financial interviews that you will not invest your money in the stock market. You think the industry with the highest return in the future is real estate."

Jiayi finished speaking, leaning back slightly, giving people the impression that she was confident.

When she tilted her head and smiled at Zhou Xinhui, she seemed to be in control of everything.

Xu Shaowei, who had been staring at Zhou Xinhui, turned his head unconsciously and fixed his eyes on Yi Jiayi's face.

This young police officer does not seem to be very aggressive when dealing with him in private. He often gives people a friendly, gentle and neighborly feeling.

But when she was under interrogation and faced a difficult interrogator, she not only did not show any fear, but also was not suppressed by Zhou Xinhui's experienced tactics and aura.

On the contrary, she was as flexible as the most vigorous weeds. No matter how the east wind blew and pressed, she would quickly raise her head, stand upright against the wind, and spread her stems and leaves.

Such a person, even without the protection of others, can push through the hardest soil and live a carefree life.

Xu Shaowei couldn't help but think of the time when he set out from the Central Police Station and was about to meet up with Yi Jiayi. When he went out, he met a detective he thought was named Tan Sanfu.

When the other party saw his police number, he stopped and asked if he was Xu Shaowei, the uniformed police officer who went to visit with Yi Jiayi.

After he answered yes, Tan Sanfu immediately looked him up and down, then frowned and stared at him fiercely, stretched out two fingers, pointed at his eyes, and then pointed at his own eyes, threateningly:

"Be well-behaved, polite, and respectful to Yi Jiayi, understand?"

How could he be disobedient and disrespectful?

Officer Yi did things in an orderly manner. He asked him to play the role of a villain, not to interrupt, to observe and think more, and to test him after the interview. He arranged everything very clearly.

Even though he felt that she was young and a pretty girl, he was a little unconvinced. But after all, she was a formal senior police officer of CID, and now she really demonstrated her professionalism and ability in all aspects. He has calmed down now. He

really doesn't need others to remind and threaten him.

Thinking of this, Xu Shaowei sat up straighter and turned his gaze to the wealthy Zhou Xinhui again, his eyes became more fierce.

When he is officially transferred to Group B, he will compare with Tan Sanfu to see who is more powerful.

Thinking of this, he habitually touched the gun on his waist, and his eyes became deeper and more serious.

Zhou Xinhui was already a little uncomfortable with Yi Jiayi's detailed explanation of him, and suddenly met Xu Shaowei's cold knife-like eyes, and some inexplicable uneasiness rose in his heart.

"What do you mean, madam, checking the household registration?" The friendliness in his smile weakened, and there was more hostility.

Jiayi stared at the changes in his expression, and her expression became a little strange.

She nodded, but instead of answering, she said:

"If someone who has determined that real estate is the most profitable business really gave up the land on the Clearwater Bay Peninsula, he must be looking for another piece of precious land now.

"You said that the last time you met Zhao Dongsheng was half a month ago, which means that half a month ago you decided to give the land on the Clearwater Bay Peninsula to Zhao Dongsheng and stop competing. How could a big boss just sit in the office for half a month and not plan the next step of his industry?

"In my opinion, there is no such lazy chairman in the world.

"I asked you what the most important industrial project is now, and you didn't say you were looking at new land. This only shows one thing, that is, you have not given up the land on the Clearwater Bay Peninsula.

"You didn't give up that land, but you didn't implement new measures to compete with Zhao Dongsheng. Why?"

Jiayi said these words while staring at Zhou Xinhui's expression.

Half of these words are careless assumptions. The reason why she said them so confidently and showed that she was very confident was not to convict Zhou Xinhui, but to deceive him.

Therefore, she must see his expression and reaction clearly at this time.

This is a rare opportunity to determine whether he is related to Zhao Dongsheng's death.

The wealthy Zhou Xinhui was slightly stunned by Yi Jiayi's seemingly interlocking and flawless reasoning and questions. He tried hard to find the loopholes in her words, hoping to get evidence that she was just talking nonsense.

But her expression, tone and words seemed so impeccable that his originally relaxed mood gradually became tense.

When Yi Jiayi and Xu Shaowei walked in, Zhou Xinhui almost breathed a sigh of relief.

A young girl, who looked like a detective who climbed up the ladder through connections, just like some of the pretty girls in his company, relied on certain means to climb faster than others. Her charm was very strong, but her strength was ridiculously weak.

Even if he was a detective who had been in the newspaper, in the eyes of this wealthy tycoon who thought he was a strong man, he was just a public relations tactic of the police force and an exaggerated propaganda method.

The other Xu Shaowei, no matter how fierce his expression was, in the eyes of him who had been in the business world for a long time, he was just bluffing.

But after a few irrelevant questions, Jiayi's sharpness suddenly revealed, and something hurt Boss Zhou's nerves and hurt Boss Zhou's eyes.

He frowned slightly and looked at Yi Jiayi. Although the smile on his face was still there, there was no smile in his eyes.

"Yeah, Madam, why do you talk so much?" He threw the question back with a light hand, leaned back, and put on a leisurely look.

Jiayi looked at his expression that couldn't be restrained, and his body movements that gradually showed defensive emotions, and she knew that her "stimulation method" had worked.

This boss Zhou definitely had something in his mind. Even if he was not the one who killed Zhao Dongsheng directly, he must know something.

"Because Boss Zhou knows that you don't need to compete with Zhao Dongsheng, Zhao Dongsheng will withdraw from this dispute on his own." Jiayi's body suddenly leaned forward, with both elbows on the table, staring at Boss Zhou with burning eyes, and said aggressively:

"How can a dead person compete with a living person for a piece of land?

"Boss Zhou, you already knew that Zhao Dongsheng would die. So in the past half month, I have been responding to all changes with a calm mind, just waiting for the news of Zhao Dongsheng's death. "

Zhou Xinhui's eyelids twitched and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Boss Zhou, who is helping you clear the obstacles?" Jiayi raised her chin slightly, and did not flinch at Zhou Xinhui's increasingly gloomy expression.

Although the policewoman was pretty and lovely, she still tried her best to put on her most ferocious and intimidating expression, staring at the mall old bitch and not losing.

The office was obviously very quiet, but Xu Shaowei always felt that he seemed to hear the sound of metal hitting, as if swords were fighting fiercely above the large solid wood office desk, with the flash of swords and the cold wind.

The hairs on his back stood up, his left fist clenched unconsciously, and his right hand pressed hard on the gun at his waist again.

Boss Zhou's eyes were not as good as those of the young man, and he was the first to blink because his eyes were dry, and he was badly defeated in this staring contest.

Jiayi also blinked, and when her long eyelashes fluttered, her peripheral vision suddenly swept across the brown-gray rough paper under the document on the table. It was the color and texture of newspapers.

She tilted her head slightly and stared at that place.

Zhou Xinhui immediately stretched out his slightly fat black hairy hand, casually pressed and flicked the newspaper, and then stuffed it under the documents, hiding it completely.

But Jiayi had already read a few headlines on the newspaper at that moment. Although the information was little, it was enough for her to make a judgment.

The news on the newspaper was that Zhao Dongsheng might have died.
