Chapter 451 Don’t worry, check slowly
Seeing that she was still thinking about this, Zhou Chen raised his hand and pinched her cheek.
"Don't mention Yao Mengfan's matter again."
Xu Ge knew what he meant, "I've taken on many cases, but this is actually my first murder case!"
Zhou Chen looked at her, "How dare you answer that?"
Xu Ge shook his head honestly, "Actually, I didn't dare to accept it. No one was willing to accept it at the beginning."
"Why? Your company even dared to take on the Bruce family's murder case, so how come no one else took it?"
Xu Ge then turned his head and looked at him, "You know?"
"What do you think?"
Xu Ge shrugged his shoulders. "Well, even if you say I have no secrets from you, how many grains of rice I eat a day, how many times I go to the toilet, shit..."
She didn't say the last word because her waist was pinched.
Xu Ge suppressed her smile and kissed his cheek, "I'm not surprised."
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, put his arm around her waist and adjusted his posture slightly to make both of them more comfortable.
"So, you're not hiding anything from me?"
Xu Ge hesitated for about two seconds and shook his head, "No."
Zhou Chen just looked at her with a gentle expression, and when he heard her answer so quickly, he just responded in a low voice.
Xu Ge patted his shoulder and said, "I am the bird in your palm. Even if I fly to Country M, I can't escape your palm. You have to be aware of your own abilities."
"Bird in the palm of your hand?" Zhou Chen's palm moved up along her waist and finally landed on her shoulder blade.
"It's not a bird, it's a palm treasure."
Xu Ge didn't care, "It all means the same thing, doesn't it still fall into your hands?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen simply curled the corners of his lips and leaned back. Looking at his face from this angle, his jawline became even clearer.
"Well, go on."
"Oh yeah, where was I just now? Speaking of Yao Mengfan's case, no one in the company wanted to take it at first. In fact, we also refused at first. The first time I met Yao Mengfan's parents, the couple had white hair and didn't look like they were in their 50s at all."
"They said they found our company through someone on the dark web, but Yao Mengfan's family is actually an ordinary working-class family. Both parents are factory workers, and they spent a lot of money on that trip to Country M."
"Murder cases are no different from other cases. They can't actually get much commission. The most they can do is sell the house in Hongcheng. It's old and dilapidated, and it won't fetch millions. Besides, the local police have already closed the case as a burglary. Even if it's murder, it means this case is not simple..."
"Who's willing to take on this tough, hot potato? No one is willing to take it."
"So you don't want to answer it either?"
Xu Ge nodded. "I actually feel sorry for them. They've been spending so many days outside our company. I tried to persuade them, but isn't there a saying?"
"Don't advise others to be kind without having experienced their suffering. This couple only had one daughter, and she was a flower that was brought up in pampering. Now that she died so tragically in a foreign country, it is truly hard to let go."
"And then?"
"Later, their savings were almost gone, so they had no choice but to leave."
Zhou Chen listened to her quietly, playing with her slender jade fingers with his bony fingers.
"Then you are
How did you take on this case?
"I returned to China to investigate Feng Youcai. At the airport, I received a call from my boss saying that the company had taken on Yao Mengfan's case, and it was related to Zhou Zimo, so I took it."
Of course, only she herself knows why she took on this case and her complicated thoughts.
If it weren't for being provoked by Zhou Siyu's words, she would have spent the whole night with him for no apparent reason.
There was no way she would take on the case so readily.
So, some things can't be avoided, it just happens that way...
skillful?
Xu Ge subconsciously looked at the person in front of him and saw that his other hand was scrolling the mouse and his eyes were also on the screen.
He looked like he was trying to focus on chatting with her while working.
So she looked over and saw a stock chart.
"Hey, Chi's stock price went up?"
“It’s gone up a bit.”
Zhou Chen explained in a low voice.
"Then Miss Chi should be very happy."
Zhou Chen paused scrolling the mouse, "So what did she talk to you about?"
"What else could it be? Of course it's an indirect hint. Then I might as well peel off this layer of paper." After saying this, she remembered Chi Yan's expression and face at that time.
"But she looked pretty grim after she found out. Like she was scared? She'd already done something like that and asked me out, so what else was she afraid of?"
"Are you afraid that you know? Isn't that contradictory?" After saying that, she seemed to want to get an answer from him, so she strangled his neck and shook it gently.
Zhou Chen let go of the mouse and hugged her, looking at him with deep eyes.
“The human heart is a very complex thing. Predicting it is different from facing it.”
"So, although she had anticipated a falling out with you, she actually didn't want it and was feeling uneasy?"
"Hmm, are you hungry?"
"It's half past eleven, it's time to eat, let's go downstairs to eat
Or send it up?"
“Eat here.”
"OK."
The two of them didn't have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping.
Salaried workers, anyone who has ever worked knows that meals are the best occasion for communication.
So the two of them would chat for a while.
After lunch, Xu Ge stayed in his office for another twenty minutes before leaving. She didn't want to delay his work.
Before leaving, she gave him a sweet kiss and then left with her bag.
Han Wen watched her leave before entering the office with a document.
After glancing at the coffee table, he walked over and placed the documents on Zhou Chen's desk.
"Mr. Zhou, these are the people you asked me to check. Their information is all here."
"Well, pack up your things."
"OK."
Zhou Chen stood up and walked to the desk to pick up the document, which contained the personal information of several people.
But he looked through the documents one by one with a serious expression. Ten minutes later, Han Wen had packed up his things and came back in.
He slowly put down the documents in his hand and asked, "Have you read them all?"
Han Wen nodded. He had personally investigated the information, so of course he could see it clearly.
"I have."
"Do you think there's any in here?"
Han Wen paused and shook his head. "I don't think it's likely, but we still have to wait for the verification results to rule it out."
Zhou Chen was silent for a few seconds and then said in a deep voice, "No need."
Han Wen looked up at him and knew that he already had the answer in his mind.
In fact, after reading the information of these people, he didn't think that person was among them.
"Are you still going to investigate?"
"Check, no rush, take your time."
"yes."
"Start investigating with these people." These people are clues.
