After returning to the guesthouse under the Public Security Bureau, Xu Yao bought three packs of instant noodles and several bottles of water downstairs, then hurried into the room, opened his notebook and did not go downstairs again.

He sorted out and analyzed the information he brought with him and the content of the case file. It can be seen that the case file provided to him by his master He Shenming was very simple. From the entire trial process, the stage collapse case was treated as an accident. The main reason was the negligence of Li Fu, the contractor, who used inferior fixing bolts.

But it is necessary to think that things are definitely not that simple. There is another reason for the stage collapse. Someone must have moved the sandbags.

Now all he has to do is to find the suspects from the list of people who participated in the stage construction work provided by Li Fu.

He recalled the interrogation just now. Li Fu said that the wind had started to blow before five o'clock, and a leader had come to check the stage. There was no problem with the counterweight at that time.

So it can be seen that the perpetrator should have arrived at the scene at five o'clock and started to move the sandbags one after another. Obviously, those workers who left immediately after the construction was completed can be ruled out.

What needs to be focused on now are the workers or staff who are still in the stage area after five o'clock and have come into contact with the sandbags, especially those who knew in advance that the project used inferior fixing bolts.

To be honest, the scope of this investigation is relatively wide and the workload is also very large. It is impossible for Xu Yao to do it alone in a foreign place.

Afterwards, Xu Yao picked up the phone again, mobilized all the contacts he had made in the police station over the years, and took the initiative to call the police station in the area where the stage collapsed to look for information.

In order to make the investigation more rapid, Xu Yao called his own team members of the Kuala Kangsar City Criminal Police Team.

Xu Yao called Liu Xiaobo, hoping that he could spare some time to come to S City.

Liu Xiaobo was also famous for his loud voice. As soon as he received the call, he shouted, "Captain Xu, are you sending me over to help you investigate the case? Okay, I'll follow Captain Xu's instructions and take the high-speed train right away."

When Liu Xiaobo shouted "Captain Xu", Mo Xiaoqing's heart was completely lifted. Xu Yao went on a business trip and did not tell her the specific reason, so she was restless in the office.

Mo Xiaoqing had been forcing herself not to think too much, but after all, they had just confirmed their relationship and should be in the passionate period of love now.

She felt that if she didn't see Xu Yao for a moment, she felt that something was missing, and she was emitting a sense of loss.

As soon as Liu Xiaobo hung up the phone, Mo Xiaoqing rushed over and asked, "Liu Xiaobo, what did Captain Xu tell you just now? It seemed that he asked you to come over on the phone. What was it for? What case was it for?"

Liu Xiaobo's eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Huh, that's strange. Shouldn't you know more about Captain Xu's affairs? You two are a couple now."

Mo Xiaoqing was speechless and felt very wronged. She felt that her girlfriend was just a title.

Maybe Captain Xu just said it casually that day and didn't take her seriously, let alone like her and trust her!

Mo Xiaoqing was in a very low mood, pouting her lips, lowering her head, and immediately sat back in her seat.

Then she thought again, maybe this was Xu Yao's way of dealing with people, he should want to separate work from true feelings. Thinking of this, she felt much better.

She raised her head unhappily and watched Liu Xiaobo tidying up his desk neatly, taking a lot of information, and even taking Xiao Lizi away.

Mo Xiaoqing felt that she had failed as an assistant. Captain Xu must have been on a business trip to investigate an important case.

But he would rather choose to take Liu Xiaobo and Xiao Lizi with him, and put her, the assistant, behind his mind.

Mo Xiaoqing shook her head and cheered herself up. She should put more energy into her work.

The clues about the painting and the kidnapping of Zhutao in the arson case have not been found out yet, so it is better to let her investigate alone.

Since the high-speed rail has been built, the journey across the country has been shortened a lot. When Liu Xiaobo and Xiao Lizi arrived at the designated guesthouse, it was only 11:30 that night.

After they arrived, Xu Yao converted the largest double room in the guesthouse into a temporary investigation site.

In the stage collapse case, only Li Mengyao was seriously injured, and the other three or five people were only slightly injured to varying degrees. Xu Yao wanted to investigate in a low-key manner.

Xu Yao let Liu Xiaobo and others rest for a night, and called them up at eight o'clock the next day to come to the temporary investigation site to re-investigate the case.

A few tables were put together in the room to form an office desk, which was piled with documents. It seemed that Xu Yao had been up for a long time.

Liu Xiaobo and Xiao Lizi cheered up, and Xu Yao clapped his hands, "Come on, cheer up, I transferred you here because I value your business ability and efficiency.

You should know that the case I want to investigate is the stage collapse accident in which my ex-girlfriend Li Mengyao was seriously injured.

After all, this case has been defined as an accident, and I don’t want to alarm too many people."

After listening to this, Liu Xiaobo wiped his eyes and directly expressed his doubts, "Xu Yao... " "Team, just tell us if we can do it. But I've also heard about the stage collapse case. Wasn't it defined as an accident at that time?"

Xu Yao lowered his posture, rubbed his brow and said, "Just consider it a personal favor I have given you and re-investigate it for me. Although the case has been closed long ago, I suspect there is something else going on with the stage collapse."

Liu Xiaobo opened his mouth in surprise, and when he asked what the secret was, he was interrupted by Xu Yao.

"Let's not discuss this for now, let's look at the case itself.

Li Mengyao, my ex-girlfriend, is 26 years old and a top ballet dancer. At around 9:20 pm on April 23 this year, Li Mengyao went on stage to dance her solo, but at 9:23, the stage suddenly collapsed. She was unable to dodge and was directly hit by the heavy stage frame and her leg was broken. Although she was rescued and her leg was not amputated, the foot nerve in her thigh was damaged and her leg was completely numb.

According to the data analysis report of the previous case investigation, a man named Li Fu was in charge of the stage construction. In order to save money, he used inferior fixing bolts. Since the stage was built outdoors, the wind was a bit strong at the time, which eventually caused the stage's counterweight to collapse due to imbalance.

But I compared many photos of the scene and found that there were many weighted sandbags scattered on the messy scene. These sandbags should have all been pressed on the stage support. "

Liu Xiaobo interrupted, "Captain Xu suspects that the sandbags were moved away intentionally? And this stage collapse was not an accident, it was a conspiracy deliberately created by someone."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Xu Yao stared at the picture in his hand and muttered.

"Little Leo, I'm now going to give you a list written by Li Fu of all the staff members who have appeared in the stage construction.

I have already eliminated some people who don't meet the requirements. You just need to check the names of those I have marked in red. I want to know their detailed information and background.

Xiaobo, I'm going to give you a task. It's also the names of those marked in red. You need to visit and investigate them one by one. Ask them carefully whether they have seen anyone moving sandbags or any suspicious people while they were working."

After receiving the task, Liu Xiaobo and Little Leo immediately stood up and started to work.
