"Yes, Director Bai."
Liu Changhe nodded in agreement, then turned around and whispered instructions to the police officer who had just rushed in.
"Bring Xiao Weiguo in," the police officer replied loudly and energetically.
"yes!"
Then, with brisk steps, he jogged out of the conference room.
Not long after, the conference room door shook slightly and then slowly opened, and a tall and handsome figure stepped in.
It was Xiao Weiguo, the chairman of Panlong Group.
Following behind him was Jiao Bai, whose face was solemn and whose expression was grave.
As Xiao Weiguo stepped into the conference room, his deep eyes quickly scanned everyone in the room.
When his gaze fell on Bai Shaoxiong in the head seat, he was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and revealed a calm smile.
He strode forward and walked straight toward Bai Shaoxiong.
When he reached Bai Shaoxiong, Xiao Weiguo smiled and politely extended his right hand to Bai Shaoxiong, shaking hands with him firmly.
Then, Xiao Weiguo spoke in an extremely kind and gentle tone.
"Uncle Bai, I never expected that such a small matter would attract your presence!"
To be honest, I've been busy with various matters these days and haven't been able to find the time to go back to the provincial capital to visit my grandfather.
Sigh, whenever I think about this, my heart is filled with guilt!
I wonder if the old man's health has remained as robust as before lately?
At this moment, Bai Shaoxiong's usually dignified face blossomed into a bright smile the instant he saw Xiao Weiguo appear before him, as if touched by a spring breeze.
He chuckled and replied.
"Haha, you brat, did you never expect to run into me here?"
I visited my grandfather a few days ago, and he kept talking about you, complaining that you little rascal haven't come to pay your respects to him and show your filial piety in a long time!
He even said that when he sees you again, he'll definitely teach you a lesson.
This will teach you a lesson, and see if you dare to forget him again!
So, you'd better pray for yourself!
The two exchanged a smile at first, and then began a half-joking, half-serious exchange of pleasantries.
Their conversation was filled with the warmth of old friends reuniting, yet also carried a hint of awkwardness after a long separation. However, the overall atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious and natural, as if they were truly old friends who had known each other for a long time and could talk about anything.
The scene drew everyone's attention, from experienced experts from the provincial capital to local police officers from Shangxian County.
Seeing Xiao Weiguo and Bai Shaoxiong chatting so warmly, everyone's impression of Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but improve.
After all, given Bai Shaoxiong's status and position, not just anyone can befriend or talk to him.
At this moment, Xiao Weiguo was able to communicate with him so easily and freely, which clearly showed that their relationship was not ordinary.
At this moment, Bai Shaoxiong spoke with a smile.
"Please sit down."
At the same time, he gently pointed to the seat next to him, indicating that Xiao Weiguo should sit down next to him.
After Xiao Weiguo sat down as instructed, Bai Shaoxiong first narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly casually but extremely keenly surveying his surroundings, before turning his gaze back to Xiao Weiguo and deliberately lowering his voice to speak to him.
"Everyone here is a crucial member of the special task force for this case! I heard that you have found some key clues that could potentially help in this case. In that case, why don't you take this opportunity to share them so that we can all analyze and discuss them carefully together."
Xiao Weiguo lowered his head and thought for a moment, feeling that there was nothing wrong with the situation, so he nodded slightly.
After gathering his thoughts and allowing them to become clearer, he raised his head again, looked at everyone with a serious expression, and began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here's what happened: when Director Liu and I went to the crime scene to investigate, we suddenly noticed that one place seemed particularly suspicious."
Specifically, by observing the various clues left by the criminals at the scene, it was clear that they had an intimate knowledge of the surrounding environment.
Based on this discovery, coupled with a series of in-depth investigations and meticulous reasoning, we can basically rule out the possibility that the perpetrator was a local.
Therefore, we can boldly deduce the following conclusion: throughout the entire crime, there must have been an inside agent within that textile factory assisting these criminals in their actions!
The atmosphere in the large conference room was unusually heavy. Everyone sat quietly in their seats, listening intently to his speech, and no one made a sound to interrupt him.
Xiao Weiguo didn't keep them in suspense and slowly continued.
"After Director Liu left, I did not leave immediately, but instead carefully walked around the crime scene again."
At the time, the room the criminals used to escape was a storage room filled with all sorts of odds and ends. Only Grandpa Wang, who was in charge of guarding the gate, would go in to tidy up and clean it. Others knew very little about that place.
This made me deeply suspicious of this old man, Mr. Wang.
However, what was unexpected was that in this case, Grandpa Wang was actually the first unfortunate victim! Out of curiosity, I decided to go to Grandpa Wang's hometown, Wanglou Village, to see for myself.
And it was there that I encountered several things in succession, each of which seemed particularly strange..."
All eyes were on his face, waiting for him to say what he was going to say next.
Bai Shaoxiong's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked in a low voice.
"Oh? What's so strange about it? Tell me about it."
"Yes, that's right."
Xiao Weiguo coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and recounted the series of events that had occurred in Wanglou Village.
This includes how Wang Shen's wife and Wang Guoying's wife beat Liu the widow.
He recounted all his doubts, including how the young and beautiful widow Liu seduced Grandpa Wang.
After a flurry of recording sounds, someone asked a question.
"Chairman Xiao, besides these, have you made any other discoveries?"
Upon hearing his question, Xiao Weiguo remembered something else and then added something else.
