The second on-site investigation brought both good and bad news.
The good news is that they found out how the murderer lured Zhang Qiqi out.
The bad news left Li Nan feeling helpless.
In such a large and luxurious residential complex as Lakeside Moonlight, it's unbelievable that the basement surveillance system has such serious problems!
The surveillance cameras in the basement of the residential complex have serious problems with their direction; more than half of them are not even providing basic surveillance.
After contacting the property manager of the residential complex, Li Nan learned the reason: it turned out that the design plan had been changed many times during the construction of the complex, and the acceptance inspection was perfunctory.
Unfortunately, Li Nan didn't want to waste time on this, so he ultimately didn't retrieve the surveillance footage.
Although Li Nan was very angry, this was not their responsibility, so he could only report the issue to the relevant housing construction department and let them handle it.
Regardless of the outcome, it won't help in this case of the mistress's death.
Li Nan was sulking alone in her office when she suddenly realized that it had been a long time since she had contacted Gao Siming.
Would Gao Siming know about this issue with the basement of the residential complex?
Just then, Li Nan smiled to herself. Gao Siming had been disabled since 2019 and couldn't drive, so he probably wouldn't know about this, right?
wrong!
Li Nan then remembered that although Gao Siming became disabled at the end of 2019, he seemed to have moved into Lakeside Moonlight around 2010.
Although he doesn't drive, he's lived here for so many years, so he must have been to the basement and know something about it, right?
Although Li Nan couldn't say whether Gao Siming knew about the basement surveillance was of any use, the Meiluo Academy series of cases felt like a boulder weighing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
So, he picked up the phone and dialed Gao Siming's number.
"Hey, you idiot Li, trying to freeload off me again?"
On the other end of the phone, Gao Siming still sounded his usual skepticism. Li Nan thought for a moment, then changed her approach and asked, "Brother Gao, did you know something happened in your neighborhood?"
Gao Siming chuckled, "Looks like you want to eat stewed meat!"
The words "stewed meat" struck Li Nan like a dagger to his soul. His stomach churned, and he asked, somewhat bewildered, "Wait a minute, Brother Gao, we've already sealed off the area. How did you know... ugh..."
"You're such an idiot! Have you forgotten who reported the case? I know Brother Peng too. He's one of my important clients. I heard he's become a vegetarian now."
Li Nan's stomach continued to churn. "Brother Gao, can we please stop talking about this?"
"Didn't you bring this up first?"
"Okay, okay, my bad, my bad. By the way, Brother Gao, I called you today to ask if you know anything about Peng Yuanyuan."
"Damn, I was still looking for her about the Lovers' Restaurant incident last time, what happened to her this time?"
"We arrested her..."
"Damn, what did she do wrong? Did she betray state secrets?"
"Brother Gao, it seems you don't know..."
Li Nan briefly recounted the incident of Peng Yuanyuan being detained and then released to Gao Siming, highlighting the key points.
After listening, Gao Siming remained silent for a long time before asking calmly, "Xiao Li, do you really think Peng Yuanyuan is innocent?"
Li Nan was puzzled, so Gao Siming continued, "If you're free this weekend, come over for a casual meal, and I'll show you some things!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Nan realized that she seemed to have forgotten to ask something.
Never mind, I'll ask them all together when we meet on Sunday.
However, Brother Gao seems to have some doubts about Peng Yuanyuan. What's going on?
Gao Siming also specifically mentioned that he brought Qin Wen along, since she is a professional.
Qin Wen is indeed a professional forensic doctor, but what does Peng Yuanyuan's innocence have to do with Qin Wen's professionalism?
At the other end of the phone, Gao Siming put down the phone and went to the horizontal bar arm exerciser. He jumped forward and began to do pull-ups one after another.
"Peng Yuanyuan, Maria, your story is about to end!"
...
Saturday arrived quickly, and Li Nan and his wife, having made all the necessary preparations, arrived at Gao Siming's house early.
"Brother Gao, it's a big meal today!"
As soon as Li Nan entered the house, she saw Gao Siming busy in the kitchen.
Australian lobster, abalone, whelk, king crab...
"I landed a big order a few days ago, so I'm treating myself and treating you guys to a nice meal!"
Gao Siming shook his hand and wiped it on his scarf. "There are freshly picked early spring buds in the tea room. Go brew some yourself. I'll be done here in a bit!"
Li Nan didn't stand on ceremony with Gao Siming. Since he couldn't handle the kitchen work anyway, he might as well enjoy the little tycoon's collection.
Looking at the vibrant green buds in the tea canister, Li Nan took a deep breath, "This is the smell of money!"
Qin Wen was a complete novice when it came to tea, so she asked, "Old Li, does that mean these tender buds are very expensive?"
Li Nan rubbed a few twigs together, smelled them, and pretended to be an expert, saying, "Of course! They're sold loose now, but once they're made into cakes, a 100-gram cake will cost tens of thousands!"
Qin Wen was stunned. She couldn't understand why these little green leaves in front of her were so expensive.
"Old Li, this is too expensive, let's drink something cheaper!"
"Don't be polite with him, just drink as much as you want. This isn't the most expensive one. I heard his 'Hundred-Ingredient Ice Spring' drinks sell for thirty or forty thousand!"
It would have been better if Li Nan hadn't explained; the more she explained, the more reluctant Qin Wen became to drink it. Drinking Gao Siming's tea felt like drinking her blood.
Gao Siming, who was sitting next door, overheard their conversation and exposed Li Nan's pretense, explaining, "Mosquito, don't listen to that idiot's nonsense. I'm the source supplier. These teas are very cheap. The ones that cost tens of thousands are sold to rich fools. Mine is just everyday tea. Drink as much as you like!"
