Chapter 153 Stealth Action at the Pier
In the afternoon, Xia Lili and the other two walked on the beach to enjoy the breeze, and in the evening they had an open-air barbecue, but nothing happened.
Xia Lili found an opportunity to avoid the crowd and called Li Qihan.
Li Qihan's call was connected quickly as usual.
"Don't tell me you predicted future crimes during your journey."
Xia Lili gave a wry smile: "Captain Li, your intuition is really accurate!"
"But this time it's not a serial killer case, and there aren't any vicious criminals involved."
Xia Lili recounted to Li Qiuhan the fragment of the future hallucination that she had predicted.
"The relationship and roles of these two people are difficult to judge at the moment. You are around them and have access to more information than I do. You must maintain your own judgment."
Li Qihan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you still remember the model of the speedboat that Yang Yidan and Wei Shan took out to sea?"
Xia Lili said in an awkward tone, "I don't know much about speedboats."
She recalled carefully: "But there is a stainless steel serial number on the hull that says CZ1034."
"Just draw it in the form of a picture, and I'll ask someone to identify it." Li Qihan's voice was deep and slow, which made people calm down unconsciously.
"Also, I will contact the Qingshan Island Police Station to send officers to connect with you."
Xia Lili felt at ease: "Okay."
The conversation fell silent.
Li Qihan paused and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Hearing his cold voice coming from the receiver, Xia Lili was shocked to realize that she had not seen Li Qihan for more than ten days.
She pursed her lips, but couldn't help herself: "Nothing big has happened in the bureau these days, right?"
There was a temptation hidden in his tone that he himself was not aware of.
The sound of shuffling papers came from the other end of the line, and Li Qihan's breathing seemed to pause. "Everything is the same as before." His voice was still steady, but a little lower than usual. "And you, are you still so concerned about the bureau during your vacation?"
Xia Lili stammered, "It's just an occupational disease!" She pretended to be calm, but heard an almost inaudible chuckle coming from the other end of the phone.
"Then your illness is getting worse quickly." Li Qihan said lightly, and then said: "Don't worry too much. You have the initiative in this matter and you are capable of solving it."
Xia Lili said "hmm" heavily. With the encouragement and support of professionals, she felt full of strength.
Return to the hotel in the evening.
Xia Lili found an excuse to come out of the room, sat in a secluded corner of the hotel's back garden with her tablet, and used painting software to draw the speedboat in her illusion.
In addition, she also drew a picture of the style characteristics of Wei Shan's murder weapon, a "ship fire extinguisher".
The hotel's back garden is very quiet, and there are not many tourists in the off-season, so there is no one else here except Xia Lili.
After passing the drawing file to Li Qihan, Xia Lili prepared to return to her room. She was simply feeding mosquitoes in the back garden.
At this time, her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from the internal police software. Yan Hong, a police officer from Qingshan Island Police Station, contacted Xia Lili.
"Comrade Xia, based on the hotel location you provided, as well as the model and appearance of the speedboat, we have now confirmed that this speedboat belongs to your hotel."
Xia Lili was excited and asked, "I want to know where this speedboat is in the hotel. Officer Yan, can you help me?"
Yan Hong replied succinctly: "Wait a moment."
Half an hour later, Yan Hong informed Xia Lili that the speedboats were all moored at the coastal pier berth on the southwest side of the hotel.
Xia Lili sneaked to the berth of the coastal dock. Her excellent eyesight quickly helped her find the speedboat that she and Wei Shan took to the sea in the illusion.
Xia Lili took out the positioning tracker given to her by Professor Ren from her pocket and installed it in a hidden location on the speedboat.
After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to quietly leave the berth.
However, at this moment, Xia Lili heard a voice coming from far away.
The voice sounded familiar to her.
Xia Lili subconsciously hid behind an abandoned container at the dock.
When she looked carefully, she found that it was Wei Shan who came to the yacht dock!
What is she doing here so late at night?
Wei Shan is talking on the phone.
Xia Lili subconsciously hid in the shadow of the corner and turned on the video recorder on her mobile phone. Her intuition told her that she might hear useful information!
At this moment, Wei Shan was angrily yelling into the phone: "My sister is still in school, how can she get married? Are you human?"
Xia Lili was stunned. It was obvious that Wei Shan's family called her again, like a ghost.
Wei Shan’s family members on the other end of the phone said something unknown. Wei Shan hung up the phone in anger, then leaned against the wall helplessly, crying silently.
Xia Lili, who was in the dark, was heartbroken and had the urge to rush up to comfort her.
She warned herself not to be soft-hearted, as Wei Shan was still a criminal suspect.
After a while, Wei Shan wiped away her tears, as if she had made some kind of decision.
She looked around and made another call.
Wei Shan held up her phone and said, "Last time you said if I did what you said, you would give me 700,000, does that still count?"
The person on the other end of the phone should have given a positive answer.
Wei Shan then asked: "Will there be any risks for me?"
Xia Lili couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone. She really wanted to have the same good ears as Xia Xubai!
Finally, Wei Shan said "Okay, I got it" and hung up the phone, then boarded the speedboat where Xia Lili had just placed the tracker!
Xia Lili's heart was beating like a drum. She watched Wei Shan quietly as she took a tour on the speedboat and then left the dock.
She looked at Wei Shan's receding figure and fell into deep thought.
Seven hundred thousand is not a small amount of money.
Earning 700,000 yuan for one thing is very likely to be money from illegal sources. This matter probably involves illegal activities.
Xia Lili recalled the conversation just now and felt deeply disappointed with Wei Shan, and also sighed for her own soft-heartedness.
Wei Shan was clearly here to check the condition of the speedboat.
Xia Lili returned to her hotel room after being ensured of her personal safety.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, Xia Lili saw the sunrise over the sea through the floor-to-ceiling window.
The weather looks nice today, perfect for playing outdoors.
Yang Yidan packed his sports backpack and said to Xia Lili, "Come on, Lili, let's go to the Ocean Sports Club today."
"Hmm" Xia Lili was very confused: "Isn't Wei Shan going?"
Yang Yidan shrugged helplessly: "Shanshan had an overreaction to some seafood barbecue yesterday and got an upset stomach. Now she's lying dead in her room."
Xia Lili had doubts about the reason, but she could breathe a sigh of relief since Wei Shan would not show up at today's beach event.
Xia Lili and Yang Yidan went out, and at the corner of the corridor, Xia Lili bumped into an aunt in a cleaning uniform.
Some water spilled from the bucket in the cleaning lady's hand and splashed onto Xia Lili.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The cleaning lady apologized quickly, her simple and honest face now filled with panic.
