Chapter 33 He Shuwen had indeed been to Xue’s company.
Shen Qingye always felt that something was wrong, but due to the lack of more clues, he could only put this point aside for the time being.
She asked: "After you killed Yuan Zhenghao, why did you put seven white roses in his wounds?"
He Shuwen took a deep breath and said, "Because there were seven people in the box that day, including him."
"I really want to kill them all, but I can't do it. I can only use this method to ease the hatred."
Shen Qingye thought to herself that as expected, those seven white roses were a declaration against the abuser.
"Do you know who those seven people are?"
He Shuwen lowered his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know their names, but as long as I see them, I will definitely remember them."
The face of her enemy had long been engraved in her mind and she had never forgotten it for a moment.
Shen Qingye turned around and looked at Wei Zhengyi: "Brother Zhengyi?"
Wei Zhengyi understood what was going on, stood up and walked out. Less than two minutes later, he came back with a large stack of information and stood in front of He Shuwen.
"Look at these, is there anyone you recognize?"
Shen Qingye also took two steps forward, looked at her holding the photos, and pointed them out one by one:
“This, this, this…”
As she pointed, Shen Qingye silently said in his heart:
Cui Bowen, Zhao Yongxin, Liao Hongyuan, Geng Haonan, Yang Wenxuan, Gao Hanming.
Adding Yuan Zhenghao, there are exactly seven people.
"And him." He Shuwen pointed at the last person and said hesitantly, "When I went there for the first time, he was in that box; but when I went there for the second time, I didn't see him."
The most important thing is that when she went there for the first time, the other party was also one of the ones who touched her.
Shen Qingye looked at that person and murmured, "Wei Chengze..."
…
After the two men settled He Shuwen down and left the interrogation room, Shen Qingye walked straight to the serious crime team office without stopping.
She looked up the initial confessions of Liao Hongyuan and others, and after comparing them, she found that the name He Shuwen only appeared once in Wei Chengze's mouth.
However, in the confessions of Liao Hongyuan and others, this person was never mentioned from beginning to end.
Wei Zhengyi touched his chin and analyzed, "So, maybe the scene of He Shuwen trying to commit suicide scared them, or maybe there were other reasons that made them still fear He Shuwen and subconsciously chose to conceal it. And maybe Wei Chengze, who was unable to participate due to some emergency matters, didn't know about it, so he blurted out He Shuwen's name without thinking. In his mind, the other party is no different from the women Yuan Zhenghao brought before."
Shen Qingye nodded: "Yes, this number just fits the description of the seven roses."
Now everything is clear, but Shen Qingye always feels that things are not that simple. She sighed softly, looked at He Shuwen's confession in her hand, and said, "Let's show this to Captain Yue first."
·
While Shen Qingye was busy, others were not idle either.
Jiang Cheng went to the bar with several criminal police officers from Group 1 and Group 2 and colleagues from the Trace Inspection Group. After taking the bar manager under control, they found the private room where Yuan Zhenghao and his friends always stayed for their gatherings. Male semen stains, female secretions and even some blood were detected on the sofas, carpets, tables and other items inside.
Colleagues from the trace inspection team collected samples one after another and took the bar manager back to await interrogation.
Yue Lingchuan was busy trying to pry more clues out of Liao Hongyuan and others.
Although there are witnesses now, it is still difficult to get them to speak based on what He Shuwen and Su Yunfang said alone. And at present, there is still no news about the most crucial clue.
Those photos and videos they took.
Yue Lingchuan pondered for a moment and did not choose to reveal the truth now. Instead, he took another approach and found another reason:
"We have investigated Zheng Yudan, Pei Sisi and others you mentioned before, but on the day of the incident, they all had sufficient alibis and have been cleared of suspicion. This time, I invited you here in the hope that you can think about it again. Among all Yuan Zhenghao's ex-girlfriends, is there anyone who hates him so deeply?"
Yang Wenxuan was a little nervous when he was first brought here. He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then his face fell again: "Officer, I have definitely said everything I can think of. If you ask me to think about it again, I really can't think of anything. It's been so long, what do you think..."
Yue Lingchuan frowned: "You really can't remember anything? Think about it again. Any tiny clue may help us solve the case."
Yang Wenxuan could only rack his brains and think about it again. In the end, he said helplessly: "Officer, please let me go. I really can't remember..."
Yue Lingchuan also looked a little disappointed: "Well, okay..." He paused, as if remembering something, and said: "If you don't remember, does your girlfriend remember? You and Yuan Zhenghao got along well, so your girlfriend should have a good relationship with you, right? Girls are more sensitive, maybe she will have something impressive?"
Yang Wenxuan was stunned: "This..."
Yue Lingchuan looked at him in confusion: "Why, don't tell me you don't even remember your girlfriend."
Yang Wenxuan laughed and said, "Officer, you are joking. How could that be possible? I will give you their contact information..."
At the same time, the same scene was being repeated in several other interrogation rooms.
After a round of interrogation was over, Yue Lingchuan looked at the list in his hand. Just when he arranged for Luo Kaiyang to follow these people to find more women who had been assaulted, he saw Shen Qingye coming over.
He raised his eyebrows: "Has He Shuwen confessed?"
"I confessed." Shen Qingye handed him the confession and briefly introduced the situation again. Yue Lingchuan listened and his expression changed: "Wei Chengze..."
He came up with an idea in an instant and said happily: "Very good, this confession is very useful and will be of great help later."
Shen Qingye's heart moved, and he strangely understood what he meant: "Captain Yue is...trying to trick Wei Chengze?"
Yue Lingchuan had never experienced such tacit understanding before. Without saying much, the other party knew what he was thinking.
This feeling was somewhat strange. Yue Lingchuan looked at her, waved the information in his hand, and said, "Wei Chengze is a breakthrough point. As long as there is a breakthrough point, the rest will naturally be defeated."
"I understand." Shen Qingye smiled: "Then I look forward to the good news from Captain Yue."
·
Wei Chengze was taken to the interrogation room. For a full ten minutes, the two policemen in front of him just looked at him without saying a word.
At first he was able to keep his composure, but the interrogation room was closed, the lighting was dim, and there were no clocks or other timekeeping tools. As time passed, Wei Chengze could not help but start to panic.
The tall police officer in front of him looked extremely outstanding, but when he glanced at him casually, he felt a strong sense of oppression. Wei Chengze blinked, raised his hand to push his glasses, and asked tentatively: "Officer, what... did you bring me here for?"
Yue Lingchuan looked at him and said expressionlessly: "Don't you know what you did?"
Wei Chengze's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and when he thought of Yuan Zhenghao's death, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He forced a smile: "I don't quite understand what the officer is talking about."
"I don't understand?" Yue Lingchuan sneered: "The murderer has already explained the motive of the crime clearly, what else do you have to quibble about?"
Wei Chengze suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered what the police had said about the murder of passion, and also remembered how Yuan Zhenghao died. Beads of sweat flowed from his forehead. He stuttered, "Wh-what murderer? You found the murderer? What does that have to do with me..."
Yue Lingchuan slammed the table, half stood up, and said in an imposing manner: "He Shuwen confessed in person that the rape and gang rape were confirmed to be true, and you are still playing dumb in front of me?"
He Shuwen?
Wei Chengze's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, I didn't participate at all that time!"
Yue Lingchuan pressed on: "If it's not you, then who could it be? The victim said it himself, how could it be false?"
"Bullshit! The people were brought here by Yuan Zhenghao, and the thing is done by Lao Liao and the others--" Before he could finish his words, Wei Chengze realized something in an instant, his voice stopped abruptly, and his face turned pale.
Yue Lingchuan slowly sat down and looked at him coldly: "What did Lao Liao and the others do? Why don't they continue talking?"
Wei Chengze's nostrils flared, his lips felt dry, and his breathing was heavy.
Yue Lingchuan said calmly: "At this point, do you still want to resist?"
Wei Chengze licked his lips and realized that he had fallen into his trap. He was panicked and his hands on the table were shaking.
He pushed his eyes open helplessly, and after a long time, he finally said, "I want to see my parents."
Wei Zhengyi sneered, "Do you have any idea of your situation? As a rapist, what qualifications do you have to make demands?"
Wei Chengze raised his head suddenly, and couldn't help but raise his voice a little: "I said, I didn't touch that woman!"
Yue Lingchuan said sternly: "You didn't touch He Shuwen, but you didn't touch anyone else?"
He stared closely at Wei Chengze's evasive eyes behind his glasses: "Do you need me to remind you who they are? Zheng Yudan?"
Wei Chengze's face twitched.
Yue Lingchuan continued: "Wei Xiaoxia? Pei Sisi? Meng Huayun? Ning Jiajia..."
Wei Chengze's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face became more and more ugly.
Yue Lingchuan knocked on the table and said impatiently: "Wei Chengze, I don't have that much time to waste here with you. Now the evidence is conclusive, whether you admit it or not, it doesn't make any difference."
He looked at him coldly: "But I can remind you that if you have a positive attitude, are willing to cooperate actively, and provide clues, then you may be given a lighter sentence in court. If you don't cooperate... the charge of gang rape is enough to keep you in prison for more than ten or even decades."
Wei Chengze tightened his hands on the table, Yue Lingchuan folded his arms across his chest, leaned back in his chair, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp and intimidating.
Wei Chengze's breathing was slightly choked, and he couldn't help but avoid his sight. The interrogation room was silent, so quiet that it was terrifying.
Wei Chengze's hands loosened and tightened, and after a long time, his whole body relaxed weakly:
"What do you want to know?"
Yue Lingchuan and Luo Kaiyang looked at each other, both with hidden joy in their expressions.
The reason why Wei Chengze was chosen as the entry point was, firstly, because of his special identity; secondly, from Su Yunfang's words and the previous dealings with him, it could be seen that he was soft-hearted and not strong-willed enough, and would be easier to break through than Liao Hongyuan and others.
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Who started all this in the beginning? And who brought in the most people afterwards?"
Wei Chengze lowered his eyebrows and said weakly: "It was Yuan Zhenghao and Liao Hongyuan who started it in the beginning, and they brought the most people afterwards."
"When did it start? How many victims were there in total?"
"About five or six years ago, right? I only got involved later, so I don't know the details. As for the victims, I can't remember them, but there were at least dozens of them."
"Some victims were not afraid of your threats and chose to report to the police, but there was no follow-up. What's going on?"
Wei Chengze's eyelids twitched, and he said vaguely: "It's... that local police station. Someone in charge is from the Liao family..."
Yue Lingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who?"
Wei Chengze said a name.
Yue Lingchuan took note and asked, "You guys always take videos every time you commit a crime. Where are the videos?"
"I don't know about that."
"Um?"
"I really don't know. I only know that the thing might be in Liao Hongyuan's hands, but I don't know who it is." Wei Chengze said, "His family is in the real estate business, and they have many houses in the city. He doesn't usually have a fixed place to rest, so who knows where he put it?"
…
When Yue Lingchuan came out with the confession, the sky was already dyed with brilliant sunset glow. He half-closed his eyes and looked into the distance. After a busy day, he finally had some time to calm down.
"Captain Yue."
The girl's clear voice rang in my ears. I turned around and saw Shen Qingye walking towards me with a glass of water.
Yue Lingchuan was a little surprised: "You haven't left yet?"
"I told my mom that I'll be back later today." She handed the water to Yue Lingchuan and said, "I just took advantage of this short while to deal with the Yuan couple's matter with Brother Kaiyang."
Yue Lingchuan reached out to take it, feeling the water moistening his dry throat, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Mrs. Yuan still said the same thing. She knew her son had someone outside, but she never cared. Even if someone came to the door and asked the Yuan family to take responsibility, or claimed that she was pregnant with Yuan Zhenghao's child, she never saw it. In her heart, those people were just playing around and were not worthy of entering the Yuan family's gate.
"She thought her son was just a little philandering and changed partners more frequently, but that was also a normal relationship. She was indeed unaware of what Yuan Zhenghao had done.
"Mr. Yuan is usually busy with work and has little to do with his son's personal life, let alone knowing anything about it."
Yue Lingchuan said calmly: "No matter what, it is a fact that she deliberately killed someone, and she will inevitably go to jail."
Shen Qingye also said yes.
The pain of losing a child is understandable, but it is hard to forgive Mrs. Yuan for doing such a thing in such a state of excitement.
What's more, is it really because of his parents' poor parenting that Yuan Zhenghao became like this?
She thought of something else: "By the way, I might come later tomorrow."
Yue Lingchuan tilted his head to look at her and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you too tired or feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Qingye laughed: "No."
She told him her suspicions: "I have a feeling that even if Xue Mingqi was not involved in this matter, she must have known about it to some extent. He Shuwen's words removed all suspicion from her, and made her even more suspicious."
Yue Lingchuan pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "You are right, we cannot let go of any possibility."
He added: "But I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, I don't think I will have much time, how about waiting..."
Shen Qingye smiled at him: "It's okay, I asked Brother Kaiyang to come along. Just report to Captain Yue in advance, in case we can't find anyone when the time comes."
Yue Lingchuan looked at the girl's curved eyes, paused, and nodded slowly after a moment: "...Okay."
He said: "Kaiyang is a steady person, and your safety will be guaranteed if you stay with him."
Shen Qingye was helpless: "I can protect myself."
Yue Lingchuan smiled, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "It's getting late, why don't you go back first?"
Shen Qingye said yes, and before leaving, he said, "See you tomorrow, Captain Yue, don't forget to eat."
Yue Lingchuan laughed for a moment, touched his stomach, and actually felt a little hungry.
Looking down along the railing, the familiar black car slowly drove away. Yue Lingchuan stretched and was about to get something to eat when someone suddenly called out from behind:
"Captain Yue!"
He looked back and saw that it was a detective from Group 2.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
The other party was smiling bitterly and said helplessly: "Liao Hongyuan has been making trouble there."
Yue Lingchuan frowned: "What is he doing?"
"He's been making a fuss about going back and calling his family." The other party sighed, "He's been making a fuss for almost half an hour. We really have no choice. Captain Yue, how about you go and take a look?"
·
After Liao Hongyuan was brought in, he stayed in the interrogation room. When a policeman came over, he couldn't help feeling nervous, and only felt relieved after he heard the question clearly. He thought the matter would be resolved after he cooperated and answered the questions, but unexpectedly the police turned around and left, with no intention of letting him go.
Liao Hongyuan frowned and asked, "Comrade police, when can I leave?"
The other party turned around and replied, "The matter has not been completely resolved yet. There may be some issues that require Mr. Liao's cooperation in the investigation. Please wait a little longer."
I don’t know how long I waited. Liao Hongyuan's eyelids were twitching wildly, and he felt more and more uneasy. When a policeman came in, he asked, "How long do I have to wait? Is there any definite answer?"
The policeman glanced at him and said casually, "It will be soon."
Liao Hongyuan clenched his fists, feeling angry, but he didn't dare to clash with the police unless it was necessary. He just said patiently, "Can you give me my phone back? It's getting late now, I have to call home."
"Oh, no." The policeman said, "The matter has not been handled yet, so I can't call."
Liao Hongyuan's patience was running out: "You want to investigate the case, and I cooperated. But why are you restricting my personal freedom now?"
The policeman just said: "Sorry, please wait a moment."
The door of the interrogation room was closed again. It was quiet inside and no sound could be heard from outside.
Liao Hongyuan became increasingly flustered. After forcing himself to hold back for a while, he finally couldn't suppress his temper anymore and slammed his hands on the table. "Let me out? You are illegally restricting my personal freedom. Do you believe I will sue you in court?"
"Let me out!"
"Is there anyone here? Do you know who I am? Let me out!"
The interrogation room was completely silent. There was no response from beginning to end, and not a single police officer came to see him. Liao Hongyuan's breathing gradually became rapid, and he became more and more certain that they must have known something. His mind was full of thoughts about what to do. He was not outside now and had no way to contact the outside world. What if they really found out something?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Liao Hongyuan could only vent his emotions by making a noise, and the clanging noises continued in the room.
"Where are the people? Are they all dead?"
"I haven't committed any crime, why are you treating me like this?"
"Open the door and let me out!"
I don’t know how long it took, but when Liao Hongyuan’s voice became a little hoarse, the door of the interrogation room finally opened a crack.
The light came in from outside, and Liao Hongyuan's eyes were hurt by the brightness, but he also felt a sense of joy at finally being able to see the outside world.
He was about to say something, but when he saw the people outside, he paused.
"Master Yue." A warm and decent smile subconsciously appeared on his face, but coupled with his somewhat messy appearance and anxious expression, the whole person seemed extremely incongruous.
He didn't notice it at all, and just said: "Master Yue has locked me up here for so long, you have to give me a reason, right?"
Yue Lingchuan said calmly, "What are you talking about, Mr. Liao? I'm just cooperating with the investigation and letting Mr. Liao be alone for a while. How can it be a prison sentence?"
"Also, this is a workplace, please call me Mr. Yue, or Officer Yue."
The smile on Liao Hongyuan's face froze: "Okay, okay, Officer Yue. Then when can I leave? I still have a lot of work to do. You can't stay here forever."
Yue Lingchuan said: "Wait a little longer."
Liao Hongyuan suppressed his impatience and asked, "How long do we have to wait?"
Yue Lingchuan said: "At the shortest, three to five days. At the longest..." He looked at Liao Hongyuan and suddenly smiled: "That depends on what Mr. Liao has done."
Liao Hongyuan's breath was choked: "I don't quite understand what Officer Yue means."
"Really?" Yue Lingchuan leaned against the door, his posture lazy, and said slowly: "I thought Mr. Liao knew what he had done."
Liao Hongyuan's heart was pounding, but he pretended to be calm and said, "If it's about Yuan Zhenghao being killed, then it has nothing to do with me. Officer Yue should know about it."
Yue Lingchuan said: "I know. But I didn't tell you that I came to you because of Yuan Zhenghao's murder."
Liao Hongyuan's eyelids jumped violently, but he still resisted stubbornly: "What does Officer Yue want me to confess?"
Yue Lingchuan said lightly: "That's a lot."
He looked at him and smiled softly: "Let's start with the simplest one..."
“Like, where did you put those videos?”
Liao Hongyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Video? What video?"
Yue Lingchuan nodded in understanding: "You don't want to tell me?"
Liao Hongyuan's breathing became slightly heavier.
Yue Lingchuan said considerately: "It's okay if you don't want to say it. I won't force you. But..."
"Mr. Liao, why don't you guess, who else was brought here this time besides you?"
Liao Hongyuan's eyes suddenly widened.
Yue Lingchuan smiled unchanged: "Mr. Liao, why don't you guess again, besides you, how many people confessed and how many people didn't?"
Liao Hongyuan's hands hanging at his side suddenly tightened.
Yue Lingchuan said: "If Mr. Liao is willing to explain himself, we will let you go after we find out the truth."
As for where I'll go after I leave here, that's hard to say.
"If you don't want to say it... then I'll have to inconvenience Mr. Liao and ask you to stay here for a while longer."
Liao Hongyuan took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said, "Officer Yue, the Liao family and the Yue family have cooperated a lot. It's not good for you to be so aggressive, right?"
Yue Lingchuan said: "Let's be fair, Mr. Liao, please don't say nonsense that has nothing to do with this case. And..."
His expression suddenly turned cold, and his brows were sharp. He looked at Liao Hongyuan as if he was looking at an ant that could be crushed to death with one hand: "There are so many people who cooperate with my family, so who do you think you are?"
Liao Hongyuan's face turned pale instantly.
Yue Lingchuan smiled again: "There is limited space in the team. If Mr. Liao is unwilling to explain, just stay here."
Liao Hongyuan could only watch his figure disappear into the distance as the door of the interrogation room closed again.
He slammed the table hard with a ferocious expression and panic, but he was trapped here and could do nothing. He could only pray that his parents would notice something was wrong soon and come to rescue him.
But it is common for a group of men in their late thirties to not come home all night. However, their families won’t really worry if they are missing for just one night.
This is exactly the result that Yue Lingchuan hopes to see.
Throughout the night, several serious crime teams contacted the victims one by one based on the explanations of Yang Wenxuan and others and the information provided by Su Yunfang, and continued to expand the list.
Everyone held their breath.
·
The next morning, just after daybreak, Shen Qingye arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet with Luo Kaiyang.
She looked up at the old residential building above and asked, "Is this Wu Yanhong's home?"
Luo Kaiyang said: "It's right here. It's still early now. Wu Yanhong should not have gone to work yet."
The two of them walked forward and stopped on the third floor. Shen Qingye looked around, taking in the surrounding environment, while Luo Kaiyang raised his hand and knocked on the door.
There was no movement in the room for a while, and I wondered if he hadn't woken up yet. Luo Kaiyang knocked for a while before he heard a half-conscious voice from inside: "Who is it?"
Luo Kaiyang said: "Police."
"Police?" The people in the room seemed a little surprised, and their footsteps became much faster. After a while, the door creaked open and a middle-aged woman in pajamas, about 170 cm tall and in her forties, stood at the door and looked at the two of them in surprise.
"Officer Xiao Luo..." She obviously recognized Luo Kaiyang, and her expression was reserved and a little confused: "You are..."
Luo Kaiyang smiled amiably: "Aunt Wu, I have some specific questions about the last incident that I want to ask you. I'm afraid you'll have to go to work later, so we came at this time. I hope we didn't disturb you?"
“No, no, no.” The other party shook his head quickly: “I was just about to get up too.”
"Come in quickly."
Auntie was busy pouring water, but Shen Qingye said no, and said, "We just need to ask two questions. Don't worry, don't delay your work."
Wu Yanhong then responded with a "yes" and sat on the chair opposite with some trepidation: "Oh, you go ahead, you go ahead."
Luo Kaiyang glanced at Shen Qingye and heard the girl say, "It's like this. You said last time that you had just changed your clothes that afternoon and were about to lock the cabinet when someone called you and said that the bride found a dirty spot and asked you to clean it up again, right?"
Wu Yanhong nodded quickly: "Yes, that's what I said."
Shen Qingye asked: "Did you see what that person looked like?"
"Ah?" Wu Yanhong was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "No... I just heard someone calling me, but I didn't notice who it was."
Shen Qingye asked again: "After you finished cleaning, the bride said that it was almost time to get off work and everyone could go back and rest early - did you hear the bride say this with your own ears?"
Wu Yanhong thought about it and hissed softly: "It seems... not."
"At that time, it seemed that most people in the hall had left. I had just finished cleaning and was about to go back when I suddenly heard someone outside calling me to leave quickly. The bride said not to destroy the venue and that she would come again tomorrow. I didn't think much about it, so I put my tools away and left in a hurry..."
The person said the sentence in the tone of a bride, and therefore, when retelling it, Wu Yanhong also subconsciously used this rhetoric and did not realize that there was anything wrong with it.
Shen Qingye confirmed: "That is to say, from beginning to end, you have never seen the person you are talking to, right?"
Wu Yanhong shook her head and confirmed: "No."
"Then was the person who spoke to you twice the same person? Are you familiar with her voice?"
Wu Yanhong said, "It should be the same person. As for whether he is familiar or not..." She thought about it again, and her brows slowly frowned: "No... Now that you mention it, why do I feel like I have never heard of this person's voice?"
Wu Yanhong had been working with her colleagues for quite some time, and she believed she could still recognize each other's voices, but now...
She panicked a little, and looked up at Shen Qingye: "Officer, this...this...has nothing to do with me, right?"
She had also heard about the murder case two days ago, so she naturally knew why the police came. Thinking of this at the moment, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, afraid that I might be misunderstood.
Seeing this, Shen Qingye quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, we are just making routine inquiries. If you are innocent, we will definitely not wrongly accuse you."
Wu Yanhong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good..."
Shen Qingye stood up and said, "Then we'll take our leave now. If you remember any details later, please contact us in time."
Wu Yanhong hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, yes. I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible."
She looked worried. The murder happened in a hotel. As long as the police failed to solve the case, the hotel's business would be affected. Wu Yanhong was really scared. What would happen to her job if the hotel went out of business?
·
After going downstairs, Luo Kaiyang said, "What Wu Yanhong said is similar to what He Shuwen said, so those things should really have nothing to do with Xue Mingqi. Do you still doubt her?"
Shen Qingye said: "That's what I said, but I still think that since I'm out here, I should get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, I'll always feel something is wrong."
Luo Kaiyang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, as long as there is a clue, we can't let it go easily."
Shen Qingye looked at him in surprise: "But we don't actually have any evidence right now. Brother Kaiyang, don't you think I'm wasting my time by insisting on my own will?"
"Hi." Luo Kaiyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm used to you saying this."
Shen Qingye was curious: "Hmm?"
"The boss is just like you. He always likes to use wild ideas when handling cases. Sometimes the evidence clearly points to this person, but he insists that that person is a suspect. We all don't understand, but when the truth comes out in the end, it proves that the boss is right. After going through this for a while, we get used to it."
He said: "Captain Yang said that people like the boss are naturally sensitive to criminals and are born to be police officers."
"Captain Yang?" Shen Qingye thought for a moment, "Is he the team leader?"
Luo Kaiyang nodded: "Yes, he was also the boss's previous instructor."
Shen Qingye was curious: "I heard that the relationship between Captain Yue and Captain Yang... doesn't seem to be very good?"
Luo Kaiyang immediately laughed out loud: "I understand, I understand. When I first joined the team, I had the same illusion."
He scratched his head. "You can't say that they have a bad relationship. Captain Yang is a strong and stubborn person. He hates his team members not to obey him. But the boss always takes a different approach to handling cases. Sometimes I find his ideas incomprehensible, and Captain Yang naturally can't understand them. After a long time, isn't it normal for them to quarrel?"
"But I heard from Brother Qiming that Captain Yang quit his job and kicked everyone out of the group because it was for the good of the boss."
Shen Qingye became interested: "What do you mean?"
Luo Kaiyang said: "Although they don't get along in some concepts, they are all police officers, and the boss is indeed talented. Captain Yang still cherishes talent to some extent. And based on the speed at which the boss made contributions, it won't take a few years for him to be promoted. But you also know that there is Captain Yang in Group One and Captain Ma in Group Two. They are not very old and it is still early for them to retire..."
He didn't finish his words, but Shen Qingye already understood. Under that circumstance, the team couldn't possibly remove the two veterans and replace them with a newcomer like Yue Lingchuan who had only been in the team for a few years. It would be bad both in terms of rules and face.
"So Captain Yang drove the people away on the surface, but actually asked Team Song to set up a third group, which is ours." He looked at Shen Qingye and reminded him, "Just listen to what those people outside say, but don't take it all seriously. Although Captain Yang and the boss sometimes don't see eye to eye and often quarrel, there is really no major conflict. Sometimes when they encounter some difficult cases, the boss often goes over there to ask Captain Yang for advice." After all, with twenty or thirty years of experience as a criminal police, there are some things that Yue Lingchuan cannot see, but they may see through them at a glance.
"Just like this time, we were short of manpower, so Captain Yue also went to get people from Group 1 and Group 2 to help." Shen Qingye smiled: "I understand, don't worry, Brother Kaiyang."
What people outside said was just a joke, Shen Qingye never took it seriously.
"Yes, after all, we are all police officers, and we can still distinguish right from wrong." Luo Kaiyang said: "Even now, during the holidays, the boss still visits Captain Yang's home."
As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing again: "I guess only Captain Yang can give the boss a good scolding."
Shen Qingye imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing.

The car drove forward, and when it was halfway there, Luo Kaiyang asked her: "By the way, where do you want to go?"
He wasn't planning on checking on Xue Mingqi, but he didn't think this road led to Xue's house.
Shen Qingye said: "I plan to go to Xue's company."
"Xue's company?" Luo Kaiyang was surprised for a moment: "Why would you think of going there?"
Shen Qingye nodded and explained, "If Xue Mingqi is really related to this case, then she must know He Shuwen, and it is likely that He Shuwen approached her. But one is a college student from an ordinary family, and the other is the eldest daughter of Xue's enterprise. How did they know each other?"
Luo Kaiyang thought: "Then we can only go to the place where Xue Mingqi often hangs out and wait for her."
"That's right." Shen Qingye said: "Xue Mingqi works in the company, which is more private than other places. This is relatively the best place to find her."
As they were talking, the car had already stopped. Shen Qingye looked up at the tall building with the Xue logo on it and said to Luo Kaiyang, "Let's go."
There was a security guard at the company's entrance, and he did not stop the person who came.
There is a spacious hall on the first floor, and a counter on the right. The receptionist smiled gently and greeted the two of them first, "Hello, are you here to see someone or for business? Do you have an appointment?"
Shen Qingye looked back at her, and his heart moved: "Can't I go in without an appointment?"
The receptionist apologized, "I'm sorry, but you can't go up without an appointment. But if you're here to see someone, you can give them a call and ask them to come pick you up. Or you can tell me what department they work for and I can help you get in touch with them."
Shen Qingye shook his head: "We are not here to look for anyone."
Luo Kaiyang stepped forward and handed her his ID: "Police, there is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation."
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Ah, then please wait a moment, I will contact the manager..."
"No need." Shen Qingye interrupted her and said, "I don't need a manager. You are enough."
"I, I?" The receptionist seemed a little flustered. Shen Qingye said, "It's okay. It's just a few questions. Just answer them truthfully."
"Okay, ask, ask."
"In the past month or two, has anyone come to see Xue Mingqi, the daughter of your company's CEO?"
"Ms. Xue?" The receptionist thought for a moment and said, "There have been quite a few people who have come to see Ms. Xue recently. Who are you referring to?"
Shen Qingye said, "It should be a young girl, about 20 years old, dressed simply, and probably didn't make an appointment like us. This is her photo."
The receptionist looked down at the photo for a long time before she exclaimed, "Oh, I know this person."
"She was."
